"Hello Mr. Ma!"

"I've seen Mr. Ma!!"

Along the way, Ma Qiang's head was about to break, and people kept rushing over to beg for help, promotion, fortune or something, which made Ma Qiang really cry and laugh.

finally came to the wine house, and Ma Qiang said to Lu An, "Uncle Lu, now that the fighting method is over, and the matter is almost over, you can leave two people here in Jixian County to take care of the store, and the others will go back with those things this time." ”

Ma Qiang wanted to borrow troops, on the one hand, to prevent the Taiping Dao dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, but more importantly, to escort Zhang Sheng to give him 12,000 copper coins.

In this era, although the imperial court often rewarded those below with gold and silver, the real transaction currency was not gold and silver, only copper coins.

On the one hand, this is because the reserves of gold and silver in the Han Dynasty could not support the monetary system at all, and on the other hand, it is also because there is no standard gold and silver currency, and the purity of precious metals such as gold and silver is poor, that is, the price is very much worse.

Therefore, in order to show his sincerity, Lu Ning gave Ma Qiang 12,000 yuan was really all copper money, and when he brought it at that time, baskets of copper coins, Lu Qingcheng, who had the biggest nerves, was speechless for a long time.

Let's put it this way, five baht has four grams each, the net weight has always been four kilograms, and there are forty-eight thousand kilograms that weigh forty-eight tons for 12,000 guan.

Therefore, only a batch of copper coins was transported, and Ma Qiang hurriedly stopped Lu Ning from transporting the second batch, as long as the five thousand copper coins were convenient for trading, and all the others were replaced with gold and silver that were easy to carry and store.

As soon as she heard that Ma Qiang wanted gold and silver, Lu Ning said that there was no problem, she could take it out as well!

These great clans.... The trenches are inhumane!

Even so, Ma Qiang also prepared more than 30 ox carts, preparing to transport a batch of copper coins and supplies to the valley found by Lin Huan for reserves.

With so many ox carts relying on horses, these people are definitely not enough, so they can only recruit some more coachmen.

Manpower is in short supply!

Before leaving, he naturally had to do a small group building, Li Jue also said that he was ready to leave Youzhou after three rounds of drinking, Ma Qiang heard it, how can this work, if you leave, where can you find a famous doctor to treat the disease?

Even if you don't get sick after washing your menstrual marrow, what should you do with green oranges and limes?

"Doctor Li, why are you leaving?"

"Hey, this time I came to Youzhou, I was looking for medicinal materials, and now I'm looking for almost the same, I want to go back to my master to continue to learn medical skills, and after I came out to travel, I realized that my medical skills are still shallow..."

I want to do a PhD.

Ma Qiang himself is also engaged in research, and he understands very well that for this kind of person who wants to further improve himself and want to study for a doctorate, unless you have a better doctoral supervisor for him, it is difficult to stop him.

Such a mentor... Of course Ma Qiang didn't, and if he had, he wouldn't want Li Jue to leave.

"It's a pity, I still had a plan to ask Dr. Li to help, but it seems that I don't have this opportunity."

Ma Qiang thought about it and had an idea.

"Plans? What is the plan? ”

I'm afraid you won't ask!

"I have also been exposed to you here in the past few days, Doctor Li, and I deeply feel the pain of my people who are unable to get good medical treatment."

Li Jue thought that Ma Qiang was trying to persuade him, and hurriedly said, "I went to find the master here, and I also wanted to use better medical skills to treat the people in the future." ”

"Doctor Li, you misunderstood, I mean, I found that the most mediocre thing about quacks is that they use the wrong medicinal materials, but if you think about it carefully, many medical craftsmen may only have seen some medicinal materials once or twice, and in the future, they can only rely on memory to determine whether the medicinal materials in their hands are right, which is too dangerous!"

"And what do you mean?"

"I mean I want to compile a medical book, the medical book does not write prescriptions, only writes about the appearance, performance and distribution of various medicinal materials, I have thought of the name of this book, it is called "Compendium of Materia Medica"!"

"Wow, Ma Lang has a good idea, Doctor Li, I have a fourth brother who is also a medical craftsman, and he often wonders whether some medicinal materials are right or not, but no one can ask, and sometimes he hits the wall in frustration!" Lu An heard Ma Qiang's idea on the side, and immediately patted his leg to show his support.

"That's right, sir, wasn't the illness of the little boy who guarded the county before, just because the healer used the wrong medicinal herbs?" The boy who was waiting beside him also spoke of persuasion.

"It's... It's a good idea, but even if you describe it clearly, I'm afraid everyone's imagination will be different... I'm afraid it's not effective. ”

Well, I've taken the bait, Li Jue is no longer thinking about whether to make this book, but thinking about how to make this book well, and this matter is half done.

"It's simple, let's just add drawings, I know a painting technique, called sketching, which can draw the object as it is."

"Painting? Is this book on paper? ”

"Of course it's paper, or is it still bamboo?" Ma Qiang said as a matter of course.

"Paper... I'm afraid it's not easy to preserve, not to mention if it's a painting, what if someone else copies it like this? Li Jue asked another question.

Li Jue's question is actually very reasonable, in this era, we rely on copying each other to spread knowledge, and words are easy to copy, so it is impossible for everyone to learn a sketch first.

Someone has to teach me.

"This is also simple, we can carve the seal, you have seen the seal, we will draw the picture, and then let the craftsman engrave it on the seal, and then stamp! Isn't that it? ”

Engraving printing is easy to say, but this window paper will have to wait for another 500 years for someone to puncture it according to history, of course, there is still the problem of ink, here Ma Qiang naturally will not say that it is difficult.

Li Jue patted his head and said excitedly, "It's feasible!" Feasible!! .... Even this money is probably a lot of money. ”

"You also see my ability to make money, you can prepare with peace of mind, we have a lot of money to cover! Uncle Lu, what do you say? Ma Qiang looked at Lu An.

"This is a great thing, naturally you can, you can rest assured, we in Damatsu Village definitely fully support this medical book! If this medical book is really completed, our Damatsu Village will be able to live for generations! ”

Hearing the words Liufang Baishi, Li Jue rubbed his hands excitedly, people live for a lifetime, but for the sake of fame and fortune, Li Jue is a doctor, not seeking profit, just seeking a name, thinking that such a book can be created from his own hands, Li Jue feels itchy when he thinks about it.

"Ma Lang, what you said, are you serious? It's not drunken talk, is it? ”

"There are so many people here, you can be a witness! All the costs and difficulties of this "Compendium of Materia Medica" have been solved by Ma Qiang! ”

"Good!" Li Jue slapped the table and shouted, "Then I'll think about how this book is compiled now!" ”

"What's the hurry! Let's talk about it after drinking! Xian Yuyin looked at Li Jue and shouted with a smile.

"That's it, besides, since Ma Lang brought up this matter, he must have a good draft, why don't you ask him first?"

"Yes, too." Li Jue hurriedly nodded, raised his glass again, and said to Ma Qiang, "If Mr. Ma can really help me complete this book, Li Jue will be worth selling to Mr. in this life!" ”

Ma Qiang raised his glass and took a sip with some embarrassment, and sure enough, no one was really stupid.

No matter how smart you are, wait for yourself to make the microscope in the future, not to mention you Li Jue, even Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, you have to run over and hug your thighs and beg to be taken in.
