Volume 1 Yangcheng Shaojie Chapter 11 Steam Engine

Lan Wang originally planned to leave for this Shen Hanlin family to treat him immediately—the temptation of 100,000 gold was too great!

In this plane, "gold" is used as the largest unit of currency, which resembles a miniature gold ingot, but is relatively narrower and longer, similar to a gold bar, about the size of a thumb. An ordinary family in a city may not be able to earn more than one gold a month, and many poor families have never even touched gold!

100,000 gold, in terms of purchasing power, is worth more than 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 silver dollars in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China!

With this money, no matter what the traverser wants to do, he has a reserve!

What's more, if it comes to fruition, the Shen family will let him pick an industry at will! With money and industry, the traverser has a platform to open the golden finger!

However, after Lan Wang calmed down, he still decided to take a break for a while. He was going to admit a few more patients, so that the name of his Lan Clan Medical Hall would be spread a little more and fermented. In this way, as long as the "brand effect" can be generated, the income of practicing medicine will definitely not be low. What's more, Young Master Lan still had to spend some time to ask about what kind of illness this Shen Gongzi had, so he could make some preparations before the consultation.

Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared, and Lan Wang is bound to gold and industry!

Lan Fengshan and Wu Lan were overjoyed to learn that the first patient had come to Lan Wang's clinic. In their opinion, although Lan Wang has not yet shown how amazing and brilliant he is in the martial arts, this attainment in the medical path has already given Lan Wang the capital to settle down! The couple are happy from the bottom of their hearts: other people's children are still spoiled in their parents' arms or full of joy at this age, and their own sons have been able to start a family! Ah, I haven't started a family yet, but it's okay to start a business.

Lan Wangqian told his cheap parents not to tell him about opening a medical center, and not to say that the little shopkeeper of Lan's medical center was their son. Although Lan Fengshan and his wife were puzzled, they still agreed.

As a result, the Lan Medical Center, which had been silent for more than a year, became lively again. On the second day after Lan Wang cured Zu Shangshu's bone pain, a chubby middle-aged man came to the door of Lan's Medical Center with his head tilted up with the support of two small servants. The reason why this man of great size was leaning his neck was not because he was so proud that he had no one in his eyes, but because he had a nosebleed—and it was bleeding so much that he couldn't stop it! When he was brought in, the blood from his nose stained the ground in front of the medical hall red.

The disease looks scary, but it's not dangerous. Lan Wang didn't even need to cut his pulse, and at a glance, he knew that this guy was retrograde and evil, and the weather was hot and dry, which caused his nose to bleed. Our little miracle doctor didn't even prescribe a prescription, but directly found two single-cloves of garlic, pounded them into garlic paste, and asked the fat man to take off his shoes. Lan Wang then applied the garlic paste to several acupuncture points on the fat man's calves and soles of his feet in turn. Almost immediately, the nosebleed stopped immediately.

When I asked, I found out that this fat man has always been upset and irritable recently, and at the same time he is eating a lot of supplements such as ginseng soup.

Lan Wang gave a few words of advice, prescribed a prescription to nourish qi and blood, and the fat man and the two little guys left with a thousand thanks. When he came back, he directly took out 100 gold as the consultation fee.

One hundred gold may be less than one hundred thousand gold, but simply looking at the past, it is quite a lot. What's more, this 100 gold is the first entry since the opening of Lan's Medical Center, which can be described as of great significance.

Another day passed. Just when Lan Wang was still thinking about how to charge the patient, he found that another patient came to the door. There was not one, but three patients in a day, all of whom were residents on Guiyang Street. A gastrointestinal problem, a headache, and a long-term insomnia. Lan Wang cured them almost effortlessly. After asking, I learned that these three patients were all introduced by the fat man yesterday - the fat man is not called a fat man, but Wen Shili, a child of a clan in the Ling Dynasty, or a prince!

Several patients said in unison: "It was Prince Wen who called us!" "Yes, yes, it's the shopkeeper who introduced us to your medical hall in Xiaolangzhong, what the surname of the country said is always right, right?" "The prince said that the medicine you prescribed here works, and you can cure what others can't cure, of course the old man has to try his luck!"

Lan Wang knew that he had made the right choice.

Sure enough, in the days that followed, more and more patients appeared, and a week later there was even a long queue in front of the medical center. The vast majority of customers are basically dignitaries on Guiyang Street, and the most recent ones are housekeepers or slaves of a certain mansion, and even wealthy families who live outside Guiyang Street. These people are extremely generous, ranging from ten gold to even a thousand dollars! There is a big shopkeeper of a restaurant who wrote a golden ticket on the spot after Lan Wang cured his problem of not lifting himself in only one stick of incense, and with the face of the ticket, he can go to the exchange shop to exchange it directly for 1,200 gold!

The Lan family mansion had to send more people to secretly protect Lan Wang's safety, and Lan Wang no longer had to worry about his customers and business—his reputation had been completely established. Lanwang is not even ready to give the most basic price code for the consultation fee - how much love gives! So far, the people who have come to him to see a doctor are either rich or expensive, many of them are acute or have incurable diseases for many years, and after Lan Wang showed his rejuvenation skills, he basically did not spare those blockages. After all, no matter how stingy people are, they will spare their lives! You can pay on credit for meals, do you dare not pay for medical treatment? The doctor can save you or not!

There is a Lan medical center at the junction of Jiangning Street and Guiyang Street, and the news that there is a ten-year-old doctor surnamed Chen in the medical hall has spread again in Yangguan Town. The name Chen Fengliang suddenly flashed in this Jiangbei city more than a year ago, and then suddenly disappeared; A year later, the name reappeared, and it became thunderous. For a while, the people in Yangguan Town, who were a little more affluent, thought it was fashionable to go to Lan's Medical Center to see a doctor, and they talked proudly after tea and dinner, and their faces were also very face-saving. It didn't take long for someone to cross the river from Jiangnan to Jiangbei, just to see the young, half-human, half-tree little miracle doctor.

Lan Fengshan and Wu Lan were glad that their son was able to make friends with these local celebrities. But out of suspicion and confidentiality, the couple did not plan to show up, but planned to let Lan Wang socialize by himself.

Lan Wang was overjoyed, but he also realized that it was time for him to change his position - the sniper still had to change places with one shot, not to mention Lan Wang, a person who had already been targeted by the killer! Although the traverser uses a fake name and a fake identity, these are not leaky, and they cannot withstand scrutiny, and there will inevitably be flaws in the long run. Lan Wang, as the eldest and youngest of the Lan family in Yangcheng, was not out of the door before, but he never played outside before he got sick, and he always followed his mother in a sedan chair in the house, which led to basically no one on Guiyang Street knowing him. But this doesn't mean that no one knew him before, and no one will know him in the future - Lan Wang had participated in the competition between the children of the family before, and had studied for a while, so the elders and some children of the other two rooms of the Lan family must have seen Lan Wang; It is impossible for Lan Wang to live in the hospital all the time, he always has to go home, and once he is seen walking into the Lan family's mansion, it is very easy to show flaws; The Lan family and his wife have already placed a gag order in the mansion, and no one in the know is allowed to mention the matter of Young Master Lan going out to practice medicine, but in the eyes of Lan Wang, a mercenary, only the dead can keep secrets, and this so-called gag order is more of a psychological comfort.

Lan Wang knew that he had completed the step of collecting resources. And the next step is to re-hide in the shadows, effectively grasp the resources, and strengthen your own power. Only if his strength is strong enough, he will not be afraid of open guns and hidden arrows, and he can completely throw away this fake identity that seems like child's play to him.

To put it bluntly, it is to develop obscenely and make a fortune in silence.

But how easy is it to change positions?

Ever since he met Zu Yuan that day, Lan Wang had found that this old man would come out for a walk early in the morning. He came out of Guiyang Street, passed through Jiangning Street, Gaoqiang Street, and Lianwang Road, and finally turned back, and the route was similar every day. Every time he returned to the intersection of Jiangning Street and Guiyang Street, Zu Shangshu would always stop at an inconspicuous tea shed on the corner for a cup of tea, and sometimes he would directly order a breakfast. He waited here for the time of the half-burnt incense, and a chubby figure would appear on time—it was Wen Shili. Lan Wang only learned that the two of them knew each other after several days, and the two of them had to have breakfast together almost every day. As soon as Wen Shili sat down, he would immediately order three steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk, and after eating it, he would bring out a pair of Go—yes, it was Go, and the gameplay was the same—and Zu Yuan would play against him. They would go down until the whole shack was gone and the sun was high. Lan Wang was a Go master in his previous life, and he once played chess by himself, so Lan Wang simply came to the hospital early every day, and before opening, he went to the tea shed to chat with the two big guys, one fat and one thin, and watch them play chess. When the two saw that it was a little miracle doctor, they were also happy to pull him into the gang. came and went, and within a few days, the three of them became acquainted and formed a New Year's friendship. Lan Wang is no longer restrained, and he can start to "extract information" in a bright and open manner.

Over time, Lan Wang will also join the battle group, and the three of them will play chess and fight in the ring together. Originally, such a 1V1V1 chess game was won or lost by everyone, but Wen Shili, the fat man, always felt uneasy because he lost to a ten-year-old child, and always fought to the death with Lan Wang on the chessboard while talking about the mountains in his mouth, and he vowed not to give up if he didn't do it. As a result, sometimes Zu Yuan will be directly left aside!

It was at the chess table that Lan Wang obtained a lot of information - in fact, without him deliberately talking, Wen Shili himself could talk for a long time. Lan Wang knew from the mouths of the two that his father had been hiding from him: in the Lan family, those who do not practice martial arts cannot be the head of the family.

"Hey, you say that this world is unkind, you really think that all things are Zou dogs! The young master of the Lan family is such a good child, why did he lose his legs? Tell me about it! General Lan must be in peace, is there anything more disturbing than the Lan family's children not being able to practice martial arts? Prince Wen was filled with indignation, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, "If you can't practice martial arts, you can't be the head of the family, but take a look, what kind of juniors are those juniors in the second and third rooms of the Lan family?" If you can fight, you can fight, but you can be a top bastard, can you be a general of an army? If they take over the Lan family, this Yangguan Town will not be able to let the barbarians and giants step on it?! ”

For a moment, Lan Wang felt that the person in front of him was not Wen Shili, but the Eight Banners Uncle of the Manchu Dynasty.

"I said Lord Wen, don't worry about this idleness, our two old guys are lost dogs themselves, where can we take care of others?" Zu Yuan smiled bitterly, "If you can have a wife and children on the hot kang, you can be content!" My unsuccessful son, I don't plan to let him go out to be an official, let's stay here honestly, at least I can have a round belly, don't worry about losing my head! ”

The reason why the traverser listened to these two old men vomit bitterness was because there was always useful information in them.

"Alas, you said that it would be great if our little doctor Chen could cure the Lan family! It's good to let that kid walk and learn martial arts again, and let him pass the Lan family's all-martial arts meeting! Don't expect to win, at least you can't let the losers in the second and third rooms of their family fight according to it, right?! In this way, you will not be completely brushed down and lose the qualification to compete for the head of the family! While thinking carefully about the next move, Prince Wen sighed with a sad face.

Lan Wang had already kept the key information firmly in his mind, so he didn't mind the two old guys talking about his own affairs in the third person at all.

Since I learned a little secret about my family from two chess friends this time, our young master Lan is even more diligent, and he has to chat and brag with two middle-aged and elderly frustrated men every day. Of course, more often than not, Lan Wang just listened. In this way, he collected a lot of anecdotes about Yangguan Town, the Great Ling Dynasty, and the world of Tianzhou.

But the chances aren't in anecdotes.

It had been two full weeks since Lan Wang first came to the tea stall to play chess with the two. In the past two weeks, Lan Wang has heard many details about the strange illness of the Shen family's son, and he has made all preparations. He had already made up his mind, if he couldn't get more useful information from the prince and monk, he would go directly to treat the disease first, and get the 100,000 gold first before making plans.

But the opportunity came sooner than Lan Wang imagined.

This morning, the key message finally arrived.

The chill of the early morning has not yet dissipated, the dew is still on the blades of grass, and there are few pedestrians on the street. Lan Wang and Zu Yuan had just sat down at the table, and were about to order morning tea, when they saw a small guy at the corner of the street running towards him quickly.

The little guy panted and stood in front of Zu Yuan: "Ancestor Master, Divine Doctor Chen!" Something happened to Lord Wen's side, and he asked the two of you to go to the Wenjia Workshop in the west of the city to find him as soon as possible! ”

Zu Yuan and Lan Wangdu stood up suddenly.

"It's urgent, it's too late to prepare the car!"

Zu Yuan turned to Lan Wang: "Little Divine Doctor, your kid is extremely talented, can you ride a horse?" ”

Nonsense, if the martial arts have cultivated to the realm of Lan Wang, if you can't even ride a horse, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous?

Lan Wang replied: "Back to the ancestral book, the younger generation will ride a horse!" ”

Zu Yuan grinned: "Okay, prepare the horse!" ”

Wenjia Workshop, as the name suggests, is the property of King Wen's family. It is located in the west of the city, covering a vast area, in which a large number of skilled craftsmen are gathered, specializing in the production of all kinds of strange and ingenious things. The annual profit of this workshop is actually not much, and its existence is mainly to satisfy Prince Wen's curiosity and curiosity.

By the time Zu Yuan and Lan Wang arrived at the door of the workshop on horseback, a large number of onlookers had gathered at the door, and many people in the workshop were running around in a panic, and the sound of wailing and moaning could be faintly heard.

Lan Wang already understood seven or eight points in his heart: this is about an engineering accident!

I was still in a hurry, and I should have brought the medicine box and equipment if I knew so!

Thinking like this, the two of them had already galloped past the crowd of onlookers and went straight to the workshop.

The workshop was a mess, with a hectic crowd scurrying around, shouting, shouting, and howling mixed in a distraught manner. Production in the sheds has come to an almost complete standstill, and all the manpower has been freed up to care for the wounded.

Zu Yuan and Lan Wang looked around for Wen Shili's chubby figure, and finally saw the anxious face of Wen Wang Ye in the crowd of people—Wen Shili was standing in a makeshift shed next to the core shed.

"Master Shangshu, Doctor Chen, you are here! Save the brothers in Wenjia's workshop, save my grandchildren! He is the only one seedling left in my Wen family! "The prince who looks like Maitreya Buddha on weekdays is almost completely confused at this time. He wore only the nightgown he wore when he was at home, his hair was unkempt, his eyes were red, and his face was haggard. Lan Wang knew that he must have been woken up from the bed by this sudden situation, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes before he went straight to the workshop.

"Don't panic! Let's take a closer look! Zu Yuan's voice was eager.

Lan Wang didn't speak, but looked at the rows of wounds lying in the shed behind Prince Wen. Most of the people were covered with blood, their skin and flesh were burned, and the skin that was not burned was also blistered, and the whole person was swollen, and all the injuries were almost without a good skin on the whole body.

Severe burn patients! What's going on?

There's no fire around here, not even smoke!

Prince Wen spoke, and his voice trembled a little: "It's all my fault for my unsuccessful grandson!" Not to mention that he could build a machine that could move on his own as long as he boiled water, and that he wanted this workshop to use a machine like him! The construction is made, he had to come to see this batch of machines start for the first time this morning, most of the people in the workshop came to watch, who knew that the machine exploded! A total of eight units were blown up! The spurting heat burned the entire shed! My grandchildren are in there too! ”

"Holy, steam engine?!" The traverser almost screamed.
