Ask Sword

After waking up in the morning, boiling water to wash up, and having a simple breakfast, Li Ang asked Chai Cuiqiao to take care of the house, while he went to the east of the city with five hundred Wen.

The shortfall of 109 guan is not a small amount, and it is definitely not possible to save it within 20 days when opening a medical clinic normally, so other methods must be used.

For example, reveal the list.

Li Ang walked through the traffic, came to the other side of the Weizhou Bridge, and stood in front of a wooden notice board that was one person tall and one foot wide.

On the notice board, there are neatly arranged yellow papers. The specifications of each paper are mostly similar. The reward is written on the top, and the detailed description is written in the middle. address etc.

This notice board was set up by the Weizhou government, and it is usually guarded by government servants in turn. Those who can post rewards on it are all departments of the government, or scholars with status, wealthy businessmen, and guilds.

The rewards issued in the name of individuals are posted on a smaller wooden notice board next to them. The content ranges from recruiting experienced boatmen, selling tiger skins, to selling fruits, candies, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Li Ang had already visited yesterday. Standing in front of the wooden notice board, he took a step without hesitation, reached out and reached for the tallest piece of yellow paper on the notice board, and tore it off.

The diners who were eating breakfast at the food stalls at the bridge head all cast curious eyes and whispered.

"That's the reward posted by the Muzhou pastor, right?"

"Yes, it is said that one hundred army horses are sick and have eye diseases. A reward of one hundred crowns is offered for a cure. It has been hanging on the bridge for more than half a month. This is the second time someone dares to expose it. He is still a teenager. Lang."

"The second time? Then someone exposed it last time?"

"The one who unveiled the list last time was a wandering doctor from other places. He cooked more than a dozen pots of medicine, but failed to cure one army horse. Instead, he killed two horses. The angry supervisor almost broke his leg."

Accompanied by the whispered conversations of the diners, the two yamen servants who were having breakfast there also heard the movement and turned their heads to look at the wooden notice board across the road.

Li Ang was standing under the notice board, pinching the reward list in his hand, with a calm face.

The two yamen servants looked at each other, took out a few copper coins and threw them on the food stall table, and walked towards Li Ang.

The older yamen servant cupped his hands, "I don't know who Mr. Xiaolang is."

Li Ang cupped his hands and said, "I'm Li Ang, a doctor at the Baoantang Pharmacy on the other side of the river."

"The security hall?"

The younger yamen servants showed doubts and dark colors, while the older yamen servants were a little surprised, as if they had heard the name of Baoantang, "Is Li Hanquan your father?"

Li Ang nodded, "It's my father."

The young yamen servant asked, "Brother Wang, do you know him?"

"No, it's just that my brother went there to get medicine."

The yamen servant surnamed Wang waved his hand, frowned and looked at Li Ang carefully, "Young Lord, it's not something you can joke casually about revealing the list. It's okay if you don't get things done. If you mess things up, you might even have to face a lawsuit."

"Thank you Wang Yamen for your kindness, but I'm sure. Gai Shengling's eye disease, severe pain, is mostly evidence; mild pain, mostly false.

Such as unbearable eye pain, red face, red eyes, bitter mouth, irritability and irritability, it is caused by inflammation of the liver;

Conjunctival congestion, swelling and pain, ashamed eyesight and excessive ointment are symptoms of wind-heat evil ascending, most of which are explosive fire eyes or sky-moving red eyes;

If the eyes are slightly red and slightly painful, and the pain stops from time to time, and those who feel dry and astringent, it is mostly caused by yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire. "

Li Ang said calmly: "It's the same with people, and it's the same with horses. As long as I see the symptoms, I can prescribe the right medicine. Please lead the way, both of you."

"this"

The young yamen servant showed hesitation, while the older yamen servant groaned, looked at the firm expression on Li Ang's face, and said nothing more, turned around and led the way under the curious eyes of the onlookers.

The Supervisor of Animal Husbandry is located in the south of the city of Weizhou, not too far away, and the three of them arrived soon.

Li Ang and the young yamen waiter were waiting outside the Supervisor of Herdsmen. The old yamen went in to report, only to hear a surprised voice from inside the courtyard wall, "He's here? Where is it?"

Tread Tread.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, and a fat man with a wide body, red eyes, disheveled hair, and red blisters at the corners of his mouth hurriedly stepped out of the threshold, wearing a dark blue official uniform.

"Xun Jiancheng."

The elderly yamen servant who trotted up from behind cupped his hands at Si Cheng, the pastoral supervisor of Weizhou, introduced Li Ang and said, "This is Li Ang, the pharmacist of the Baoan Hall who unveiled the list."

"You? Pharmacist?"

Xun Jiancheng was still looking at the door, and when he heard the words of the yamen servant, he turned his head to look at Li Ang, who was holding a yellow paper to offer a reward under the threshold, first a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then the astonishment turned into anger, "How do you find someone Children come over?

It's over, it's over, this time it's really over."

He sighed and leaned against the door frame, without the bearing of an official of the eighth rank.

War horses are an important strategic resource of the State of Yu. In order to obtain a sufficient number of war horses, the State of Yu established a pastoral supervisor system. In some prefectures, according to local conditions, three levels of pastoral supervisors were set up to raise war horses and herd horses. , pack horses, and even cattle, sheep, mules, donkeys and other livestock.

The grades of animal husbandry supervisors in various regions are only related to factors such as local grassland conditions and climatic conditions, and have nothing to do with the grades of state capitals.

After improving the breed of war horses and optimizing the horse breeding strategy in Xuegong, the animal husbandry scale of various local animal husbandry supervisors has increased. Mare, stallion.

Most of these horses are raised in the pastures six miles south of Weizhou City. A month ago, the shepherd in charge there reported that eye diseases had spread among the horse herd. The eyes of more than a hundred war horses were red and weeping constantly, resulting in reduced food intake and temper tantrums. Being violent, he even hurt several shepherds and group leaders who were in charge of raising horses.

It would be fine if only a hundred or so war horses were infected. With the help of the Academy, the animal husbandry and supervisors in various places have already developed sufficient strategies to deal with various diseases spread by horses, and isolate the diseased war horses from contact with other horses.

Based on the total number of 1,300 war horses in the Jizhou Animal Husbandry Supervision Department, a hundred horses died, which is still within the acceptable range-at most, it was rated as "lower middle" in the annual assessment.

The ones who really took Xun Jiancheng's life were the fifteen rare stallions among the one hundred diseased war horses.

Those are relatives of the family, who were bought from Zhou Guohua in the south of Yu State with a lot of money, and temporarily fostered in the Muzhou Supervisory Department!

Each horse is worth hundreds, or even thousands of guan!

If these precious horses died of eye diseases in the Muzhou supervisor, then Xun Jiancheng's fate can be imagined.

Xun Jiancheng thought about his tragic future of being demoted and transferred, leaning against the door frame, shaking his head and sighing.

Li Ang got impatient waiting by the side, cupped his hands and said, "Xun Jiancheng, I don't know where the sick horse is? I have to look at it first, so I can tell if it can be cured."

"It's inside, Wang Yamen servant, you can take him to see it."

Xun Jiancheng still looked depressed, he waved his hand and let Li Ang go in and see by himself.
