"Second brother, are you back? Sister Yao'er is in the East Wing. As soon as she entered the courtyard, Li Ying took Miao Ya and took the initiative to step forward, blinking, and gossip flashed in the eyes of the two.

"Do you want to go too? Then you want to make your family dare to work harder? Qin Bai in turn teased Li Ying.

"Second brother!" Li Ying stomped his feet angrily, his face flushed, "Ignore you." ”

There are more than 100 patients of all sizes who have been admitted to the door this time, and four people have died of illness so far, and there are also six or seven people who are bedridden. In addition, there were more than a dozen pregnant women, and these pregnant women, sick women and children were all arranged in the east wing on the edge of the courtyard.

In order to treat these people, Qin Bai had to come up with a large amount of expenditure. But the happiest person is Ding Yao, who is happy to treat the disease every day. Due to the fact that she had a lot of theoretical knowledge and relatively little practice in the past, so there were so many cases all of a sudden, which just gave her the opportunity to practice.

However, there are many rules for curing diseases at this time. Not to mention whether men and women give or receive kisses, unmarried girls must not deliver babies, otherwise they will not be able to marry at all (as mentioned above, when Ding Yao delivered the baby, she had to call Wen Po by her side). Fortunately, there are not many Qin Bai now, but there are many people. Therefore, Ding Yao was arranged with two women with delivery experience, four strong women, and more than a dozen maids who worked hard. A medical team has been formed in a similar way, and many people have been treated.

While talking and laughing, Ding Yao jumped into the courtyard, still innocent. However, as soon as he saw Qin Bai, he immediately became dignified, walked in slowly with lotus steps, and bowed his knees: "Second brother!" ”

Glancing at Ding Yao and seeing the shyness on her face, Qin Bai smiled and said, "Yao'er, is there enough manpower?" Don't be too tired, do you want to arrange for you another twenty people? ”

After living together for so long, Qin Bai must have understood Ding Yao's intentions. But Qin Bai's attitude is still watching from afar, but he will not take the initiative to approach. Now I am frightened step by step, to say that it is ugly, it will fall at any time, don't be emotional for a while, and finally hurt the girl in front of you.

"That's enough, Second Brother Xie. Yao'er can do it. Ding Yao smiled brightly. Every day when the two of them are together, her heart is always very sweet.

"Let's have more people! Three points depend on governance, and seven points rely on nourishment. Teach them more things to take care of the sick, even if they can't become Langzhong, it is still a craft. ”

There are so many women and girls who need to be arranged, Qin Bai wants to train more nurses by the way. Of course, it would be better to have a few doctors. In fact, the reason for the high mortality rate in this era is that the lack of attention to nursing is also one of the important reasons. It should be known that Nightingale, who pioneered modern nursing, in the Crimean War, through nursing, reduced the mortality rate by nearly 40% at once. In fact, at that time, there was no gap between the medical level of the West and the Chinese medicine of this era, and nursing had not become a discipline at all. The only difference is that it is not taken seriously. And Nightingale was like a family member who cared for the wounded and sick.

Ding Yao nodded with a smile. She didn't care about the number of people, so she wanted to talk to Qin Bai more at this time.

At this time, Qin Bai suddenly remembered something: "Yao'er, there is news from your father." I heard that he borrowed to live in Pinglidian, a family surnamed Huang? ”

Ding Yao immediately raised his head and said happily: "Yes! Uncle Huang was the same year that his father was born. ”

"That's good, you write a letter, and I'll send someone."

"Uh-huh." Ding Yao was already happy and wanted to dance. If Dad comes back, should he ......? Taking advantage of Qin Bai's inattention, she secretly glanced at it, and her joy was infinite......

……

"White two!"

Someone was shouting at the gate of the courtyard. Qin Bai turned his head and smiled: "Brother Hao? ”

Zhao Hao stopped at the door: "Godfather called you, I have something to talk to you about." ”

"Oh?"

Following Zhao Hao, Qin Bai came to the opposite Dongsanfang. When he entered the door, Qin Bai pondered in his heart: "Could it be that you are asking yourself how many boxes of matches you are taking again?" "These days, it's not uncommon for this to happen. Qin Bai will basically meet the requirements, and he will not pay less anyway.

However, Qin Bai thought about it again, this was a good opportunity. I wonder if the Salt Gang is interested in matches? They have channels to sell in large quantities to other places, and they have their own sales networks in the two provinces of Tenglai. It was originally a killer trade in smuggled salt, and it would definitely be kept secret. The main thing is that there is no shortage of money, but it is a very suitable sales target.

Qin Bai was led into the courtyard where Huang Jun was. In the center of the courtyard, there is a stone table with wine and food on it, and a brazier around it. Seeing Huang Jun sitting alone at the stone table, Qin Bai saluted: "Master Jun!" ”

Huang Jun looked up and smiled. He pointed to the stone bench opposite: "Coming?" Sit? ”

"Xie Junye!"

The two sat opposite each other, and Huang Jun scooped up a blood sausage from the warm pot: "Eat if you want, don't look like a girl." This year, they all got together to send the New Year's pigs, and they couldn't finish eating. When you go back later, don't forget to bring two hind legs. ”

Qin Bai nodded in gratitude, but he was a little confused in his heart.

Huang Jun devoured the blood sausage and put down the chopsticks: "Let's go door-to-door, and it's easy to see what you're doing." Now that you have a name and a name, are you interested in coming and helping me? After studying by my side for three or five years, I will give you the position, and the Salt Gang will be your home in the future. ”

"Huh?" Qin Bai was taken aback. He had guessed Huang Jun's intention to call him before, but he never imagined that it would be such a thing, "Master Hao? Why could it be me? ”

Huang Jun smiled and looked at Zhao Hao and the group of henchmen in the courtyard: "Why not you?" Are you suitable? Ah Hao and my brothers can all fight, but they can't. If they are allowed to sit in this position, they will be able to keep it within five years, and after five years, this salt gang will be destroyed by others. You don't think that the salt merchants in Yangzhou and Changlu are vegetarians, right? ”

Qin Bai's mind was a little confused. Even if what Huang Jun said made sense, but in front of Zhao Hao and his henchmen, it was really good to say these ugly things to himself, an outsider? However, when he looked around, he found that Zhao Hao and the others all had calm faces, as if they had already been mentally prepared, and they did not object to he, an outsider, joining the Salt Gang at all, and would sit in Huang Jun's position in the future.

In fact, Qin Bai didn't know that the competition for the private salt market was quite cruel, and it was far beyond his imagination. Therefore, Zhao Hao and those leaders of the Salt Gang already knew that their abilities were far from Huang Jun, and they had no confidence in leading the Salt Gang at all, so they did not object to Huang Jun coming to find Qin Bai.

"...... Junye"

Huang Jun interrupted Qin Bai's words with a smile: "Bai Er, I know what you want to say. But have you ever thought about it, what I give you is not only a chance, but also a way to live. Do you really think you can secretly sell matches like this all the time? ”
