Chapter 449: The Liar's Contest

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be funny, we're here to negotiate, not to fight, so there's no need to do any rebellion." Besides, he said with a smile.

The officials listened attentively, frowning and winning, with "understood" expressions on their faces.

No one believed it, and it was out of sincerity and kindness that he taught Baten the art of medicine.

Is he so kind? What's more, the two sides are still enemies, how can they teach the enemy superior medical skills, isn't that helping the enemy?

Moreover, his idea is not within this scope, he believes that the practice of medicine should have no national and ethnic boundaries, as long as someone is sick, a doctor is needed. In fact, all doctors have this view, which is a kind of professional ethics.

In the past, Zhong practiced medicine outside the Saiwai, and the people outside the Saiwai did not think that he harbored evil intentions because of his Han status, and treated him with courtesy, and later worshiped him even more sincerely, thinking that he was the incarnation of the medicine king Bodhisattva.

But the soldiers and officials are different, they don't understand the doctor's thoughts, and of course they think that this is an opportunity to enter and start the work of rebellion.

Planting spies on the enemy side and plotting against the enemy's important personnel is exactly one of the most routine tasks of Jinyiwei, and there are also people from the White Lotus Sect on the Tatar side who are doing this kind of work every day, such as the rebellion against Li Zhipeng is just one of the examples.

The two opposing sides are in their own operations, and this kind of thing is naturally a military secret, and besides, it is normal not to admit it, and no one blames him.

Now everyone no longer thinks that he is just a minister with a good fate, but he exaggerates infinitely, thinks too highly of him, and thinks that he is today's Zhuge Liang, the kind of mysterious and unpredictable master.

Besides, he did make a very elaborate plan before leaving the customs, and he didn't say a word to anyone, and the plan has not been officially launched yet, but the abolition of Zhehan and Monno is definitely not in the plan, and as for plotting against Bateng, he didn't even think about it. He won't do these small actions, because they are too young and meaningless.

Zuo Ling and the others were all in another large tent that had been set up, and there were many small rooms in the tent for everyone to rest and sleep.

Zuo Ling, Li Xiangjun and others didn't care about eating, but they were in a hurry and couldn't take a bath, when did they get sloppy.

After a day's journey, although they have been in the car, they have not been contaminated with much dust, the climate outside the plug is cool, and they have not sweated much, but they still feel sticky on their bodies, and their hair is almost uncombed, and their bodies will stink if they don't take a bath.

Moreover, orders have been given that no one is allowed to bathe until the large water source, but only to replenish drinking water, and the hard task is to fill all the water wheels.

Cao Delin and other negotiators only washed their hands and faces, and did not even dare to wash their hair, just to have more water left.

However, Zuo Ling and Li Xiangjun are not in this case, and they are still allowed to take a bath, but the water consumption must be reduced to the lowest point, and they can't waste water like in the mainland.

"Now I know that taking a shower can be so comfortable." Fei'er lay comfortably in the bathtub.

Whether they are in Jiangnan or Beijing, they have to take a bath at least once a day, and they will wash it several times a day, just like ordinary people wash their faces, and now they are suddenly restricted from taking a bath, which is really uncomfortable.

Before leaving the customs, besides, they have said this situation many times, so that they can take a bath in the customs open, and they may not even have water to wash their faces in the future, and the vegetables are still eaten, and they may only be able to eat mutton in the future, in the grassland or desert, starvation is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is the thirst after cutting off the water source, and the taste is unimaginable for people who have not passed through.

Most people say that people have not eaten for a few days and are crazy with hunger.

In fact, this is an adjective, hunger can rarely make people crazy, but extreme hunger and thirst can definitely make people crazy, and even hallucinate, and the process of dying of dehydration is a very painful thing.

"We didn't come out with anything, why did we come along?" Wan'er was a little lost, and suddenly realized that she didn't know why she came with her.

"It's not that Miss is reluctant to part with her son, so we have to come out and suffer." Fei'er pouted.

"The prodigal hoofers will say, didn't you cry and shout that you had to come with you? If it weren't for your energy, I wouldn't have come. Li Xiangjun, who was taking a bath in the small room next door, didn't want to listen.

"Miss, aren't we here for you? How can you be separated from your son for so long just because you are idle? Fei'er said cheekily.

Li Xiangjun sneered, and then she didn't speak, she stroked her belly, feeling the fetus growing up little by little, day by day, and also feeling the miracle of life at all times.

Zuo Ling was not in a hurry to take a bath, but ran to the small tribe with a few people, peddling some of the goods he brought, mainly cloth, and exquisite silk This small tribe people could not afford to buy.

Besides, I didn't want to let her do this, the people of this small tribe looked very poor and couldn't buy much at all, but Zuo Ling insisted that although the mosquito legs had less meat, they were still meat, and since they encountered it, they couldn't let it go. Besides, I had no choice but to let her go.

Zuo Ling really sold dozens of pieces of cloth, as well as some silk cotton, in exchange for some herbs that the locals don't take seriously, which is a treasure in the mainland.

Zuo Ling's eyes lit up, she bought all the medicinal herbs stored in this tribe, and only used cloth that was not worth a few dollars in the mainland, and the people in the small tribe were also laughing at this Han beauty for being too stupid, taking such a good cloth and replacing it with the grass they used to make medicinal tea.

Zuo Ling also pretended to be stupid and traded with these people, as if he didn't understand medicinal materials at all, no matter what was good.

Medicinal materials are very strange, the farther away from the patient, the better the medicinal effect, the same medicinal materials, produced hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles outside the border, far better than the patient's hometown.

What is the truth of this, there are too many words, but there are not many people who can really convince people, anyway, foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures.

Traditional Chinese medicine is mostly explained by the earth's qi, and the stronger the earth's qi, the better the curative effect of the medicinal herbs, which can be regarded as a more reasonable explanation.

There are also people who combine the Bagua and Five Elements to explain the impact of the distribution of medicinal materials on the curative effect, which is close to nonsense. There is no reason to say that rehmannia is better than rehmannia produced in water, and how to divide a place into water or fire is even more controversial.

Besides, I don't know much about these, but the basic truth is that everyone understands it, that is, the medicinal materials outside the customs are particularly effective for the people inside the customs, and it stands to reason that the medicinal materials in the mainland are the same for people outside the customs.

However, the latter article has not been verified, after all, there is a shortage of medicine outside the country, and some of the medicinal materials produced are basically imported into the mainland, and then exchanged back for medicine, and the effect is very good. However, if local medicinal herbs have been used to treat the locals outside the border, there is no way to test this theory.

Zuo Ling went back with the medicinal herbs, and said, "You still don't let me go, I think it's boring, how about it, see what I got back?" ”

Besides, when she looked at the hundreds of medicinal herbs she brought back, her eyes lit up, these medicinal herbs are expensive in the mainland, and the key is that there is no place to buy them.

He and Zuo Ling make Chinese patent medicine, what he is most worried about is not the price of medicinal materials, anyway, these can be discounted into the cost, and the most afraid is that he can't buy medicinal materials at all, and it is difficult for his daughter-in-law to cook without rice.

"So much, how much money did it cost?"

"It didn't cost money, dozens of pieces of cloth in exchange."

"What? This...... That's a bit of an inauthentic thing, isn't it? "Besides, I feel speechless.

"Not authentic? You didn't see their eyes, as if they took advantage of a big advantage, they completely regarded me as a stupid girl, and I had to pretend to be stupid. Zuo Ling chuckled.

Besides, with a wry smile, this is really a liar and a liar, all pretending to be stupid, thinking that the other party was deceived, but in fact, it is a transaction, and the public unfairness can only be seen from different angles.

These extremely rare medicinal materials in the mainland, here may only be used as medicinal tea boiled and drunk, dispelling wind and cold, this seems to be not only a waste of medicinal materials, simply do not understand pharmacology, many medicinal materials here are not dispelled wind and channel, and a variety of medicinal materials are boiled together, in the end it is difficult to say what problems will be made, chronic poisoning is inevitable.

These people also understand this truth, but they don't understand pharmacology, so they can only mix it with tea and drink it.

Of course, the herbs boiled and drunk as tea are not valuable, so they think that those few pieces of cloth are good things, after all, there are almost no people who can spin and weave cloth outside the gates, this thing is out of stock, with these dozens of pieces of cloth, they can make a new robe for the young girls in the clan, and a new dress for the children, so that people of other clans can see it and be more decent.

Outside the Saiwai, the people in the tribe wear a robe for several years and do not wash it, because they lack water and are afraid that they will damage their clothes if they wash it, so they do not resist wearing it.

Every year, the king of Altan had to buy a large quantity of cloth and silk from the interior, but only enough for his own tribesmen, and some rewards for those who were loyal to him. These grandmothers are not close, and the small tribes that uncles don't love naturally don't have this blessing, and they can only exchange cattle and sheep at a high price from Han merchants, and those unscrupulous merchants dare to ask for a few cows and a herd of sheep for dozens of flower cloths.

Therefore, the people in this small tribe exchanged a bunch of useless herbs for dozens of pieces of cloth, and they were almost crazy with joy.

Besides, he looked at the medicinal materials in the same way, many of them were the same as those in the domestic area, such as rehmannia, eucommia, licorice, and some he had never seen, at least there was no record in the compendium of materia medica, but he could also judge what type of medicinal materials were by virtue of the taste, and the specific uses, of course, it was not possible to make medicine, so he had to go back and try to boil a decoction and drink it and then feel the medicinal properties.

A pioneering doctor must also have the courage to be a Shennong who tastes a hundred herbs.

Of course, a doctor who tries the properties of medicine must have a very deep study of pharmacology, be sure of seven or eight points, and prepare at least a few antidote drugs in case of emergency.

"Put these away first, and then study and study them when I go back, don't use these herbs to make medicine first." Besides, he instructed.

"Do you really think I'm stupid to make medicine from such good herbs? These herbs are to be used in key places. Zuo Ling glanced at him and said with a smile.

The key point that Zuo Ling said is that such good medicinal materials can be used to treat a certain person's disease to the greatest extent.
