Chapter 58 Medicinal materials arrive for the math test (second update)

"It's not expensive, it should be long. Give me a thousand pieces."

Li Zhixian watched for a while, and when he saw that he could buy it, he first asked for a thousand pieces.

The head of the village shook his head: "There are not that many. There are three thousand tickets in total. There are 22 villages in this county, and each village has one hundred tickets.

Five hundred more will be given to the palace, the remaining three hundred will be given, and three hundred will be given to the magistrate, and we will wait until we make something better next time."

He said it was out of stock and Hanhan was too busy.

Hanhan was looking for stones and said he wanted to burn colored glaze to make cups and other things.

Fortunately, the stones, sand, limestone and other things Hanhan said he was looking for are all nearby. The place with the most stones is Fengyang, where Zhongdu is now built.

It's too far. You have to cross the Yangtze River and go north, so you don't need so many.

He was also busy asking people to make bricks, using Guanyin soil and a kind of sand, drying the bricks and sending them to be burned.

He said that the fired refractory bricks would be transported back to the village to build a small kiln.

The children in the village helped Hanhan for fun.

In the past, when there was life in the village, Hanhan needed help and had great strength.

After buying a big animal last year, I no longer have to act like a half-animal.

People in the village are also not as tired as animals, and they all use oxen, horses, donkeys and mules to cultivate the land.

This year we can buy a lot more large animals, have rations, and after harvesting rice, we can buy straw from each village.

Next spring, the wheat will be harvested and there will be wheat straw to feed.

How could Li Zhixian and others know the plan of the head of Xiaqiu Village? People in other villages were happy, but the Zhixian sighed.

There is no problem for the twenty-two villages in Xuancheng County. Ningguo Mansion is not limited to Xuancheng County, but is the largest county where it is governed.

If you bring back three hundred pieces of something called test strips, Magistrate Song will be in trouble.

The other villagers knew the news and got the martial arts secrets, so they worked harder.

When it was time to eat at noon, he still said that he was not hungry and could continue sowing.

Unfortunately, the animals couldn't bear it. They were pulled in front, and by the time of meal they couldn't walk anymore.

Lunch is mutton soup and pancakes as the staple food. There is no pepper, but sweet garlic and pepper noodles.

I bought pepper in the village and kept it in the drug store for medicinal purposes.

There are both black and white peppers. Black pepper is picked immature and dried, while white pepper is naturally peeled and dried after being ripe.

In fact, it’s not that you can’t afford it, pepper and rock sugar are about the same price.

It's fine for the villagers to eat secretly, but for people from outside the village, they don't dare to put it in the soup.

Sichuan peppercorns are already pretty good. People from other villages put some in the mutton soup bowl, stir it up, and take a sip with a look of happiness on their faces.

As soon as I finished drinking, the boats came. There were three boats, three feet long, which was larger than the two-foot boats docked at the village.

The chief pulled Hanhan over to greet him. When the boat docked, Zhou Zong jumped down and said, "Chief, I have brought you some medicinal materials. Please take stock of them."

"No hurry, let's eat first." The village manager showed a sincere smile. So many medicinal materials? It seems that the village does not need to buy them everywhere.

The villagers came to help carry it, and there were more medicine options when you got sick.

"Move quickly, there is mutton soup to drink today." Zhou Zong greeted the people following the boat.

"Okay~~" cheers rang out, especially from the boatmen.

Coming against the current, they didn't want to travel hard and were tired.

Someone told them that if they arrived before noon, there would be delicious food. If they arrived late, they would probably only have a bowl of rice or rice noodles.

With a skeptical attitude, they still speeded up, but they didn't expect it was mutton soup.

When they were moved down, they obeyed the instructions and washed their hands and took their seats. Every boatman smiled widely.

There is half a bowl of mutton and haggis in the bowl, and then add chopped green onion and coriander, which is more than half a bowl of dry food.

The villagers scooped up mutton soup with a layer of mutton oil on top. It smelled so good!

With the pancakes included, one meal would probably cost two days' wages.

Zhou Zong came to the main table and smiled at Hanhan to say hello.

And I told myself to be careful with my chopsticks when eating and don't steal other people's food.

Sitting at the main table with him were three people from Tai Hospital, one was the hospital judge of Zhengwupin, one was the ambassador of Huimin Pharmacy starting this year, and the other was the ambassador of the Herbal Medicine Library.

The main table has lamb stir-fried with green onions, grilled lamb face, braised lamb chops, and lamb tendons.

"I see you every time I come back." Zhou Zong greeted the four people from Li Zhi County.

"Fate, it's all fate." Li Zhixian responded with a smile.

"Are you four still used to staying here? You need to practice more on weekdays. Why are you so fat?"

Zhou Zong talked to Zhu Taiyi to Zhu Taisi again, and the flesh was obviously visible on their faces. This was not acceptable.

Zhu Taiyi felt aggrieved: "He works very hard to help the village. Who makes the village eat well? There is nothing we can do."

"It's as if the prince doesn't provide you with food. You should learn more from the chief. You can learn 10% of the chief's skills. It will be of great use to you!"

Zhou Zong reminded them that you have a mission, find an expert, and found Mo Shengzhang.

"Yes, you have great abilities." Zhu Taier responded, but he felt even more aggrieved.

We have gone around the village, there are 552 people in total, and none of them are experts.

Instead, I found that the children in the village were being taught literacy. The children could recite the Thousand-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and the Three-Character Classic.

There are also multiplication, addition, subtraction formulas, writing exercises, and abacus.

Last time I asked Hanhan what one plus one equals, Hanhan actually knew that it was two.

There are experts in the village! If a fool can teach you a little, that’s awesome!

Thinking about it, he suddenly asked: "Hanhan, what is two plus two?"

Zhu Wentian raised his head and looked at the other person, thinking, "Are you free?"

I'm just making a meal and you toss me around. How about I give you a math problem and see if you can answer it?

"Eh? Hmm? One, one..." Everyone saw Hanhan put down his chopsticks and counting his fingers.

When counting to five, two more were put down, and another was put down, leaving two.

"Two, plus, one, two, one two three, three..."

Just when everyone could hardly bear it anymore, the fool in their eyes finally said the correct answer.

"Four, eh, four, two two four, hey hey hey hey!"

Zhu Wentian himself was exhausted and sweating, and his heart was tired. He had to lie to this group of people like a fool.

The chief quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped Hanhan's forehead: "Hanhan is awesome, yes, two plus two is four. This is our Hanhan. Haha!"

Others were equally surprised. The process was tortuous, but the result was wonderful.

Zhou Zong glared at Zhu Taier and raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat.

"Hmm! Hanhan, I, hehe!" Zhu Wentian cooperated again and lowered his head to drink the mutton soup.

Everyone drank the mutton soup slowly, and the people from other villages were not in a hurry. It was useless no matter how fast they ate, because the animals were not finished yet!

Zhu Wentian also did not speed up. The children will sleep for a long time this afternoon, and they will be tired from picking up rice ears and catching grasshoppers.

More than half an hour later, someone else went to lead the animals to plant wheat.

Zhu Wentian still didn't leave the table. He wanted to wait for everyone to finish drinking and go to inspect the medicinal materials together.

The medicinal materials should come from the herbal medicine warehouse of Taiyuan Hospital. Medicinal materials should be found from all over the country and put into the herbal medicine warehouse.

There are Huimin Pharmacies in every state and every state, and they are responsible for treating soldiers and civilians. The main reason is that the medicinal materials are cheap. If you really don’t have any money, you just give them away.

Just like the medicine the village gave to Wang Laowen's father, if the other party can't afford it, then there's no need for money.

Generally, the people in Tai's Hospital are from medical families. Currently, there is no dedicated imperial doctor. It will have to wait for three years.

After everyone finished eating, three people from the Imperial Hospital went to the chief to receive him. Zhou Zong followed, and Zhu Wentian was waiting for this moment.
