A few days later, a convoy arrived in Qinzhou, and dozens of young people wearing green clothes and hats walked down from the carriages. They carried wooden boxes on their backs and wore leather gloves on their hands.

The young and immature face was full of curiosity and excitement.

Until, a few middle-aged men, got out of the carriage, they immediately became silent, lined up, and bowed to the men: "Hello teacher!" ”

"Well......" The men nodded indifferently, and the leader said: "You have worked hard all the way, first follow me to the state government office, go to see Liu Chunfang, settle down today, have a good rest, and start tomorrow, you will give more than 100,000 fathers and elders in Qinzhou pox!" ”

"Disciples, please obey the teacher's orders!" All the young people bowed down and bowed respectfully.

Because they are apprentices.

Apprentice of the Tai Yi Bureau!

Since the end of February, after Tang Wang had to pass on the method of pox seeding, the great cause of pox planting of the Taiyi Bureau has been thriving, and it is making money every day.

It's just that a problem arises - the Taiyi Bureau is not manpowered.

Therefore, the Hanlin Medical Officer's envoy and Xu Xi of the Imperial Medical Bureau wrote to the official's house, imploring the official family to be virtuous and allow the Hanlin Medical Institute to recruit the orphans of the forbidden army who died in battle, and serve as the Tai Yi apprentice, for a period of seven years, to teach him medical skills, teach him pharmacology, and complete the study in seven years, and after the assessment, he was admitted as the Tai Yi Officer.

The official family readily agreed, so in mid-April, an edict was issued ordering the Taiyi Bureau to set up Taiyi apprentices, and the Quasi-Taiyi Bureau recruited men under the age of 18 as Taiyi apprentices after the death of the forbidden army.

He also accepted the suggestion of Tang Wang and set up a Huimin Pharmacy Bureau under the Taiyi Bureau.

It specializes in the preparation and refining of medicinal materials and the production and storage of all kinds of cheap and practical simple medicines and pills for sale to the poor or for military use.

As a result, the Huimin Pharmacy Bureau also began to recruit a large number of pharmacy apprentices.

And because of the pox method, the income of the Taiyi Bureau has increased greatly, and with money in its pocket, it can naturally afford to support a large number of apprentices.

In May and June alone, in two months, the Taiyi Bureau selected and recruited more than 2,000 people from among the orphans of those who died in the forbidden war, and served as Tai Yi apprentices and pharmacy apprentices.

These young people are the first batch of Tai Yi disciples to be selected and hired.

They have been following their teachers for almost half a year, and under the face-to-face teaching, they are basically familiar with medical science, and the best of them can even read medical books.

As for the pox technique, they are already proficient.

When they came to Qinzhou, they mainly did the pox.

As for the imperial doctors who brought them, they shouldered the mission of establishing a medical center and a Huimin Pharmacy Bureau in Qinzhou.

………………

When the doctors arrived.

Gao Ruone and Liu Yongnian were on a mountain outside Qinzhou, surveying the site of the temple.

Hearing that the imperial doctors were coming, Gao Ruone and Liu Yongnian were very happy.

And the heads of the feudal clans who accompanied them and the local wealthy gentry in Qinzhou were even happier.

As a result, the number of donations has increased, and the largest family even pledged 10,000 yuan on the spot.

Gao Ronne was very happy, and he was about to take everyone down the mountain and back to the city.

At this time, Fan Xiang, the governor of Qinzhou, came in a hurry with people.

"Fan Zhizhou, why are you here?" Gao Rune smiled and stepped forward to ask.

"Gao Dashuai, Liu Xuan is under the jurisdiction of ......" Fan Xiang looked at the two of them expressionlessly, as well as the heads of the Qinzhou Domain behind them and the local wealthy gentry, took out a post from his arms, handed it to Gao Ruone, and said: "This is the military intelligence report sent by the Shaanxi Jingluo Xia Gong just ordered someone to send it......

When Gao Ruone heard this, he took the post with a serious expression, and then opened it to take a look, and immediately, Gao Ruone's expression changed.

"How?" Seeing this, Liu Yongnian immediately asked, "But there is a military situation?" ”

"Hmm!" Gao Ruone solemnly handed over the post to Liu Yongnian: "The Western Thief is about to enter the prison!" ”

Liu Yongnian took the post, took a closer look, and gasped.

I saw the post written: Shaanxi Economic Strategy Division reported to Zhulu: According to the report, this month's Yimao (the fourth day of the first month), the western thief general Yeli beggar, has led the troops to Tiandu Mountain, from its Xingqing Mansion, Xiping Mansion, to Tiandu Mountain, chariots and horses are like dragons, grain and grass are divergent, the division judges, the West thief will have a large momentum into the Kou, all military states, must tighten the troops, gather the township soldiers, at any time!

This newspaper: Shaanxi Economic Strategy Division, pacification envoy along the border, Xia Zhu.

Shaanxi Economic Strategy Division, general sentence Yin Zhu.

Shaanxi Jingluo appeased the deputy envoy: Fan Zhongyan Han Qi

Shaanxi Transit Envoy: Pang nationality.

The bright red official seals prove the reliability of the official newspaper.

And the head of the clan and the local Haoqiang behind Gao Ruone and Liu Yongnian were already scared and nervous.

After all, Yuan Hao's ferocity and tyranny are well known!

That madman, once he gets in, it's not just about robbing money, he's also robbing people.

And it is not divided into Han people and vassals, and everyone is treated equally!

Even if it is a party member, once it falls into the hands of Yuan Hao, few will have a good end.

This kind of thing is not just legends and rumors, Yuan Hao's cavalry has crossed the border many times, attacked Qinfeng Road, broke through several Great Song military villages, and then tortured and killed all the people in the vicinity, regardless of Han and vassal.

Even those who surrendered, were tortured to death by them.

For that madman, killing is the best way to rule and deter.

If its army points to Qin Feng Road......

The crowd was already trembling.

Only Liu Yongnian was excited all of a sudden, he grinned and laughed: "It would be nice if Yuan Hao came to Qinzhou......

He licked his lips and looked impatient.

In his eyes, he seemed to see tens of thousands of Western Xia soldiers and horses, and the people who were blown up by him turned over on their backs, and ran around like wolves crying and howling.

When everyone else saw it, it was like seeing a madman.

Zhizhou Fan Xiang even said: "Liu Xuan, don't say such things......"

"If the western thief invades my Qinzhou, I am afraid that the father of Qinzhou will ......"

"Fan Zhizhou rest assured!" Liu Yongnian said confidently: "As soon as the West Thief comes, I will call him to come and go!" ”

"The grenadier army is a thousand brave and brave, and the Western thief will know what the Great Song Dynasty King Shi is, and the heavenly soldiers of the kingdom!"

This inexplicable self-confidence made everyone behind Liu Yongnian feel a little relieved.

After all, this Liu Zhan is a minister next to Grandpa Tang Wang, and he is also a relative of the Great Song Dynasty's official family.

Many people felt that since Grandpa Tang dared to send the ministers around him to Qinzhou, he would naturally be prepared.

Perhaps, what secrets are really hidden in the 1,000-strong grenadier army?

Perhaps, they have been blessed with the supreme Dharma by Grandpa Tang, and they can incarnate as Vajra Arhats if necessary?

Zhizhou Fan Xiang frowned.

The 1,000 grenadiers from Bianjing, he went to see several trainings.

Every time, I feel inexplicable - these burly soldiers, the main content of their daily training, are actually standing in the school yard, holding long-handled iron objects and throwing them around.

He had also inspected the iron-cast objects, which were solid......

Fan Xiang couldn't think clearly, what was the use of doing this?

Are they going to smash the enemy to death with those iron lumps?

And even if they could, how many would they be able to smash to death?

"I still have to rely on the township soldiers trained by my own officials!" Fan Xiang thought in his heart.

After the official family issued an edict in March and ordered to recruit archers along the border, Fan Xiang recruited 3,000 border people and feudal people in Qinzhou as archers, and now he has initially trained 3,000 warriors who dare to fight, plus the local forbidden army and the box army in Qinzhou, he now has 20,000 or 30,000 troops under his hands, and there are almost 10,000 soldiers who can fight.

If Yuan Hao enters Qinzhou, with this force and the strength of the domain, it is enough to rely on the strong city walls of Qinzhou to drag Yuan Hao's army under the city of Qinzhou, and only wait for reinforcements to arrive, which is the center to bloom!

It must be known that although Fan Xiang is a civil official of Jinshi, he is the same as Fan Zhongyan, and he is a Jinshi of the second department.

The reason why he was able to become the governor of a state at such a young age was because of nothing else, but because of the opportunities brought by the war.

Now the two important fortresses on the front line of Huanqing Road and Jingyuan Road, Liu Panbao and Dingchuan Village, were built by Fan Xiang.

Last year, after the Battle of Sanchuankou, Yuan Hao attempted to invade the border areas of the Great Song Dynasty, but he was beaten back by him, a civilian official who was sentenced by the Zhenrong Army at the time.

Because of this merit, he was able to smoothly become a Beijing official, and was awarded the title of Qinzhou Governor, and his official was directly promoted to a member of the household department from Qipin.

Therefore, Fan Xiang is proud.

was so proud that after Gao Ruone and Liu Yongnian came to Qinzhou, he refused to communicate with these two people in private.

Because, in Fan Xiang's eyes, Gao Ruone is a lucky villain, and Liu Yongnian is a nepotistic relative.

The gentleman disdains to have a relationship with him!
