Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 240 [Meeting of two medical masters] ([-])

Zhang Bozu, Zhang Zhongjing, He Yong, Huang Zhong, Song Wu, and Huang Xu were still about an hour away from Sihui County.

"The people in these caravans are really bad. We didn't tell them until we entered Jiaozhou. It's easy to get in here, but hard to get out! Now it's very difficult to go back to the Central Plains. Fortunately, I even treated them on the way. There is no barbarian land. Disrespectful!"

In this regard, He Yong did not complain much.

"Brother Boqiu, it's all here, it won't help if you complain any more." Song Wu stepped forward to comfort him.

Song Wu was half a year younger than He Yong, so he got to know each other well along the way.

He Yongdeng looked at Song Wu, and said angrily: "This is the minimum respect, they are deceiving. I said before that Jiaozhou is so good, but I never mentioned that you can't go out again after arriving in Jiaozhou. Do you want the trust between people? "

This matter made He Yong brood, and one day in the future he would complain to Lu Bu about it, and became a powerful admonisher under Lu Bu.

At this time, Huang Zhong bought an old carriage and drove it to take care of his son. Zhang Bozu and Zhang Zhongjing focused on the land on the side of the road.

It happened that a middle-aged man was weeding in the field.

And the sweet potatoes are planted in the field, a piece of green, which neither the master nor the apprentice has ever seen.

Perhaps it is because both of them are doctors, so they are interested in new plants. If they are found to have medicinal value, it will be a major discovery.

The middle-aged man who was weeding in the field looked up and saw the two people approaching. He was not afraid at all, but asked first, "Where did you come from?"

Zhang Bozu and Zhang Zhongjing were startled, and Zhang Bozu asked suspiciously: "My fellow, how do you know we came from it?"

In terms of clothes, they are all relatively ordinary, similar to the clothes they saw when they entered Jiaozhou, so they were puzzled.

The middle-aged man pointed to the sweet potato vines under his feet, and said with a smile, "Everyone in Jiaozhou knows about this, only those who came from it don't."

Zhang Bozu nodded, suddenly realized, and then asked: "My fellow, I have never seen this thing in the Central Plains. What is it? Entering Jiaozhou, I saw many fields planted along the way."

At this time, He Yong and Song Wu also came over, and Huang Zhong, who was slowly driving the carriage behind, also drove up the carriage.

The middle-aged man proudly said: "This is a sweet potato vine, which can grow sweet potatoes." As he said, he dug out a few sweet potatoes that were not too big from the bottom of a sweet potato vine.

After removing the dirt on the surface, there were four sweet potatoes of different sizes with red skins, weighing two to three catties in total, and growing well.

The middle-aged man handed the sweet potato to Zhang Bozu and said, "Look, this is a grown sweet potato. It's not small, and it will be harvested in a month or so. You won't be hungry by then."

Zhang Bozu, Zhang Zhongjing, He Yong, and Song Wu each took a sweet potato. Zhang Zhongjing looked it over and asked, "My fellow, can this be eaten?"

"It's definitely edible, why not grow it? It can be eaten raw, boiled, or burned. To tell you the truth, although it's not the time to harvest, my family has eaten it several times. It's very sweet, even better than rice. tasty."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man took the sweet potato from Zhang Zhongjing's hand, divided it into two halves, took one half for himself, and left the other half for Zhang Zhongjing.Then he wiped it on his body, and then he gnawed on the sweet potato, eating it with relish.

He didn't forget to remind Zhang Zhongjing and the others: "Don't steal sweet potatoes from other people's fields, or you will face lawsuits. The Department of Agriculture will often send people down to inspect."

It's like treating sweet potatoes as a treasure!

Zhang Zhongjing and others looked at the middle-aged man speechlessly until he finished eating the sweet potato in his hand.

"Thank you fellow for your generosity, and I would like to ask you a question, may I?" Zhang Bozu saluted and thanked him.

The middle-aged man nodded, "Ask if you have any questions, I still have to weed."

"Thank you." Zhang Bozu saluted, and then asked: "Are there no refugees or refugees here in Jiaozhou? I heard that tens of thousands of refugees came from Jingzhou last month. I wonder how they are doing now?"

Zhang Bozu also asked these two questions because he thought the middle-aged man was a real person.

Last month, tens of thousands of refugees came to the Jiaozhou border, and then disappeared inexplicably, which made him worry.

But the middle-aged man answered very easily. He replied: "I thought you were going to ask something important, but it turned out to be this matter. The tens of thousands of refugees from Jingzhou have been moved to Xinxian County. How many of them live now? I can't be envious."

"How do you say that?" Zhang Bozu became more and more confused the more he heard it.

The middle-aged man looked envious and said, "Don't you know? Anyone who comes to Jiaozhou from Zhongyuan, as long as they are willing to settle here, can get free farm tools, farmland, food and money, and enjoy three years of tax exemption. .”

"The tens of thousands of people who came before have now arrived in Xin County. Not only have they got these, but they have also lived in new houses and the sweet potato fields of the county magistrate. How many people are envious of them. Do you think they are living a good life? "

"If I had known this earlier, I would have taken my wife and children to Xin County. I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future."

Envy and regret mixed together, the middle-aged man's expression was quite complicated.

After the questioning, Zhang Bozu, Zhang Zhongjing and others continued on their way. They had to get to Sihui County before dark, or they would have to sleep in the open.Even if they can bear it, Huang Xu, who is seriously ill, can't bear it.

In a blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed, and it was almost dusk at this moment.

The six people were less than five kilometers away from Sihui County. At this time, they found a large yard not far away, and they could hear pigs meowing for a while in the distance.

He Yong asked passers-by: "Excuse me, what is that big courtyard for?"

Passer-by: "You guys got it from it, right?"

What's the matter, the six people were puzzled, and thought: Do we just look like people from the Central Plains? . But what is the difference between your appearance and yours?

Helpless, He Yong could only nod slightly.

Passer-by: "The locals know that there is such a large yard not far from every county seat. This kind of yard is used to raise pigs and cattle. I heard that people arranged by the general are in charge, and no one dares to ask .”

Then, the passer-by pointed to another direction, there was a large dense sweet potato field, and said: "The sweet potato vines in that sweet potato field are specially used to feed pigs and cows. Pigs and cattle like to eat this, and outsiders dare not approach that piece of sweet potato." Sweet potato land."

After speaking, the passer-by left.

"Along the way, many people mentioned this great general. He found sweet potatoes in the mountains and encouraged the people to plant them. Now the big yard for raising pigs and cattle is also made by the general. The great man who governs Jiaozhou The general is really strange." Song Wu said with a smile.

"As far as I know, the governor of Jiaozhou is Zhu Fu, and the prefect of Cangwu County is Shi Huang. The court has never conferred any general in Jiaozhou. It's really strange." He Yong has been an official for several years and knows something about Jiaozhou.
