Not long after leaving the Lu family's mansion, He Kuan asked puzzledly:

"Shizi, none of the medical officials of the Jin Kingdom can cure this disease, why did Shizi go to the sick place?"

"Well, one has different medical principles, and the other has a heart, but it is powerless. Of the three, not everyone has such a miraculous skill, so the medical officer cannot cure Lu Xu's mouth sores. ”

Lu Xu's mouth sores have developed from large ulcers at the beginning to today's rotten sores, which is largely the result of his own self-inflicted and uncontrolled diet. The prescription prescribed by the medical officer is actually similar, and it is also the right medicine, and a minor disease such as mouth ulcers is not a disease at all.

The problem lies in Lu Xu himself, taking medicine without moderation, it is a matter of time before the ulcer develops into rotten sores, coupled with the current medical conditions and limited cognition, there are not many drugs that can be used, and the effect of herbal medicine is slow, and it is completely expected that the ulcer will develop into an aphthous ulcer.

As for why the medical officer is not good, in addition to the problem of medicine and patients, the technology also limits the feasibility of scoring.

Imagine that you don't have anesthetics, you don't need a quick knife, you dig out a piece of meat from your mouth, do you hurt. If you don't wait to dig up the meat, it will hurt you to death. Moreover, knives are also very important, if the knives are not suitable, the sores cannot be cured, there is a possibility of recurrence, and various reasons also limit the further development of medical skills.

Walking on the way home, Bailiyan went to the market on a whim to buy two hangs of pork, and went back to cook and simmer meat to eat.

In fact, there was no soy sauce in these years, and China also developed soy sauce from tempeh and soybean paste at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. For this reason, Proton House used soybeans to stuff several jars of soy sauce to facilitate the improvement of food. Aged vinegar and rice wine can be bought on the market, because if the rice wine is bad, it can also be made into rice wine, and if the rice wine is also bad, it can also be made into rice vinegar.

Therefore, rice wine, rice wine, and rice vinegar are all products from a dregs process, but they are products that have been developed successively after the processes have been broken.

Bought two hangs of pork, and purchased a few chickens, Bailiyan continued to walk back, just walked out of the vegetable market, thirty meters in front of the crowd, not to mention hundreds of people around the official list to look at the fascination, Bailiyan stepped forward to take a look, it was the text of the Jin Kingdom.

The content is very simple, that is, this year's drought, the country's rice grain harvest failed, from today, from the king of Jin himself down, all the royal relatives, princes and nobles, the three princes and nine princes, but all those who have a lord, all change to drink gruel, not to eat dry rice. In addition, merchants, gentry, and academies also follow this example, and the envoys of foreign countries and foreign ministers are not included in this list.

That is to say, the whole country must begin to cut back on food and clothing, not extravagance and waste, because the common people themselves are not full, after the drought will only be more poor, so the edict is a letter to inform the national elite.

Seeing this, Bai Liyan was thoughtful, and then left the official list and He Kuandao:

"Uncle He, I'm afraid the King of Jin is going to raise troops."

"Oh, how can the son of the world see it."

"Uncle He, you think, this Xian country has not improved since Gongsun Yue changed the law, but it has suffered from natural disasters, and the treasury has been hoarding grain for more than it can make ends meet, coupled with natural disasters, isn't the national strength empty. Although the country is large, the rice is harvested once a year, and there are few grain fields that are twice cropped, and the treasury is also empty due to successive wars.

On the other hand, although the Jin Kingdom suffered a disaster this year, the treasury was full. The King of Jin did this, and his intention was nothing more than to save food from the mouths of the powerful, and to cover up the pretense that the national strength was not enough. In fact, it was mixed with disaster relief grain and used for disaster relief, so as not to expose the reality of the Jin State treasury. But you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for a lifetime. If Zhiguo knew that the people of the Jin Kingdom were richer than the Zhiguo, wouldn't he be greedy and come to attack the Jin? ”

"Your Highness is right, will the Jin Kingdom attack the Zhiguo first, or crusade against the Xianguo?"

"In the opinion of this son, we should attack the Xianguo first, not attack the will."

"Why?"

"Although Zhiguo has become strong and middle-class, it is actually a lack of treasury, not a lack of military strength. The Jin State will never attack Zhiguo when its troops are in its prime, but drag it until next year or the year after, when the rice harvest in Zhiguo's fields fails, and the grain and grass are insufficient, and then attack Zhiguo when its army is discouraged.

Before that, the Jin State had not had a major war for more than 40 years, and it was bound to use the Xian State to train its troops. Therefore, this son thought that in this battle, he must first attack Xianguo in order to train his troops. In addition, the master of Wu Shu has been building ships for many years, and the sailors have become successful, and they will go straight to the Xianguo along the river, and they must first cut down the salt. ”

Baili Yan analyzed that the Jin Kingdom was indeed fighting the idea of the Xian State at this time. Just as he was returning to the Proton Mansion, in the Jingluo Palace, the uncle was hanging down and sitting on crutches, and the King of Jin asked very carefully.

The years have passed, time is not forgiving, Uncle Kuo is affected by national politics, and he is at an advanced age, his health is not as good as before, and he has been blind in the past two years, and the national politics is no longer powerless.

"Great king, this great drought in the world, if my king wants to send troops, he must win a battle, otherwise he will be invaded by all countries, and the king should be cautious."

"The widow understands, but you can attack the Zhiguo first, or attack the Xianguo first, all the ministers think that the first attack on the Zhiguo is the best, why does the Xiangguo want to attack the Xian first?"

"The king, the Xian country is small and the country is small, and there are many wars with the Zhiguo and they are not victorious. The national strength is strong, and it is strong in the middle, but the military strength still exists, so it cannot be cut down first. Although the Jin State has more than 40 strong troops, there has never been a big war, all of them are small wars, and the fighting skills of the soldiers and the command of the generals are far less than the Zhiguo.

If the first battle can defeat the Xianguo and defeat its army, the old man thinks that with the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, he will sit back and wait for the decline of the Zhiguo, and then raise troops to attack it, and he can win a big victory, and please ask the king Mingjian! ”

Uncle Kuo knows that the Jin army has been strong for many years, but the people have not known how to fight for many years, and the first battle is with the Central Plains overlord Zhiguo, the chance of victory is not great, and the army does not have much combat experience, and the battle with the old army of Zhiguo, which has soaring combat effectiveness, even if it wins, it will be a tragic victory.

But Xianguo is small, and Zhiguo has been at war with Zhiguo for many years, although there are fewer wins and more losses, but the army's combat effectiveness and experience are not low, and the Jin State should concentrate its superior forces, bully the weak with more and bully, let the army practice and practice, and then sit and wait for Zhiguo to die of exhaustion, and then fight.

To say that Gong Shukuo's strategic planning is quite thorough, the key is that the King of Jin wants to eat a big fat man in one bite and beat Zhiguo first, plus most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty advocate fighting Zhiguo first, and it is difficult for King Jin to ride a tiger.

"Xiangguo, can you design to weaken Zhiguo first, and then attack it?"

"No, the national pillar of Zhiguo still exists, and it is difficult to defeat no matter what the plan is. I Jin Guo Taoguang has been obscure for more than 40 years, and Zhiguo has long been jealous, if the court discussion is let Zhiguo know, Zhiguo will definitely be on guard. It is reasonable to be reasonable, the king should not be the first to provoke Zhiguo, and cutting down Xian is the best policy. ”

King Jin was a little annoyed, so he simply stopped mentioning it, and turned to Qiguo:

"Xiangguo, now Gongzi Yan is getting fuller and fuller, and he is not sick suddenly, and now he is self-taught in medicine, if he does not die, I am afraid that the strategy of the widow will be in vain. Therefore, the widow wants to use Gongzi Yan in exchange for grain and millet from the country, does Xiangguo think that this is okay? ”

"No, Baili Gui is not dead, how can Yan be rejuvenated. The old man thought that Wang Rui should marry him as soon as possible and get vaccinated as soon as possible. Then he won the Xianguo and waited for the war. At that time, the king can take advantage of the power of victory, so that the son of Baili Yan will be pledged to my Jin Kingdom as a hostage, and then send troops to send him to Qiqi, seize the throne, and then slowly try to do it! ”

Bailiyan was self-taught, and she also healed Wang Rui, which made Uncle Kuo unexpected. Originally, three strategies were set in the early years, and Bailiyan's sudden death was one of them, but now Bailiyan is self-taught and has cured herself, and Uncle Kuo can only adjust his strategy and take risks.

Taking advantage of the aftermath of the victory over Xianguo, he waited to attack Zhiguo, let Wang Rui take the seed of Bailiyan, and then send Bailiyan back to China to compete for the throne.

At this time, Bailiyan was still in the dark, and when she returned to the Proton Mansion, there was a fragrant car parked outside the door, that is, a special vehicle for women, and only the young lady of the elite class, the county lord and even the princess who could use such a carriage in the city, and Ximen Yunfang of the Tongwen Garden was also among them.

Ximen Hua is the same as the Academy, the courtesy is equivalent to Dr. Liang Guoshi, so he also has the right to ride, and the children of the family also won this honor, and the car in front of him is Ximen Yunfang's incense car.

When he entered the mansion, he handed the medicine box to He Kuan, Bailiyan went straight to the backyard, and sure enough, he saw Ximen Yunfang sitting under the pavilion corridor, fiddling with two volumes in his hand.

"Miss Simon, don't come unharmed."

Ximen Yunfang followed the prestige, and a smile spontaneously appeared:

"Young Master Yan." Walking forward quickly, Ximen Yunfang said again: "In the middle of summer, why should the prince go to the clinic in person, how can this be done by the son of a country." ”

"Alas...... The girl doesn't know, my master is kind-hearted, as a disciple, how can I not help some. ”

The two walked and chatted, and when they came to the shade of the tree under the pavilion, Ximen Yunfang said:

"Young Master Yan can know about today's Jin Wangwen."

"I knew it on the road when I came, and Miss Yunfang was about it?"

Bailiyan wondered, you and Wenyuan eat all the public food of the children of the scholars and the official family, and you don't have to worry about food or clothing, so you came to me for this?

At this time, Ximen Yunfang continued:

"Yan Gongzi doesn't know, it is rumored that the drought has spread to Liang State, Liang State sent Bo Yuanjun to come to Jin State to borrow grain, and also wrote to my father and grandfather to dredge Jin State, Father and grandfather are worried about this, I don't know what to do."

Hearing this, Bailiyan wondered even more, Liang Guo suffered a disaster, and went all the way to Jin to borrow grain, even if it could be transported from the sea, why did Jin borrow grain to Liang Guo. And what's the use of letting you unblock the channels in your house, looking for me.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan asked:

"Since the Ximen Deaconate dredged the Jin Kingdom, why did the girl come to find this son?"

"My grandfather heard that the wind and rain in Qiguo have been good in recent years, so he ......"

Ximen Yunfang wanted to speak and stopped, and Bailiyan finally understood:

"Therefore, you want to borrow grain from my country, but do you want to?"

"Exactly. The barns of the Jin Kingdom are hoarded and hinterland, transported into the Beihai Sea through the Menghan River and the Wangqin River, and transported to the Liang State through the Xianguo and Changsun Kingdoms. The country is bordered by the sea in the north, and if you take a boat, even if you go against the current, it will not take you 20 days to arrive, so my grandfather hopes that Yan Gongzi can lend a hand. ”

Ximen Yunfang's request for Bailiyan did not give a positive reply, because Ximen Hua wanted to get the borrowed grain, and his uncle Kuo also wanted to get it.
