Early the next morning, the official guarding the door came in and told Xiao Zheng that Zheng Xuanli had come behind his mother's back to seek medical treatment.

directly let him go to the back hall, only to see Zheng Xuanli walking in with an old woman in her sixties on her back, putting the woman on the couch, Zheng Xuanli kowtowed to Xiao Zheng.

Seeing that this guy has taken off his prison uniform, he is still wearing an old clothes, and his wife is wearing a clean new clothes.

"Didn't I give you some money? Why didn't you even buy new clothes? ”。

Before he could speak, Zheng Mu, who was sitting on the mat next to him, spoke: "My lord, the woman is paralyzed and can't move, and she can't give you a salute, don't be surprised." My brother has been taking care of him at home all these years, and our family thought that Li'er had no life after being imprisoned, but I didn't expect him to meet a good official like you. When he returned home, he first gave some money to his younger brother, and then bought some grain and cloth and gave it to the villagers who were having a bad time. I didn't leave a penny, and the women thank you for your great kindness."

After the old woman finished struggling, she wanted to kowtow to Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to support Zheng's mother and said, "Old man, your son is a benevolent and righteous lord, don't move yet, wait for me to diagnose your pulse first."

After examining the old man, Xiao Zheng found that the old man said that the cervical spine was deformed and compressed the nerves, causing the lower limbs to move inconveniently.

"I can cure your mother's illness, in two months, I will definitely be able to make her stand up, and the old man's stomach is a little bad, so I have to take care of it," Xiao Zheng said to Zheng Xuanli.

"Master Xie," Zheng Xuanli knelt on the ground after hearing this, and was about to kowtow to Xiao Zheng.

"If you fuck down again, your mother's illness will be cured," Xiao Zheng pointed at him angrily and said.

Even acupuncture and massage, after being busy for an hour, Zheng Xuanli's old lady Shi Xian felt much better, the painful look on her face dissipated, and people were hungry and wanted to eat.

After thinking about it, he said to Zheng Xuanli: "Find a car, take your mother and take me to Ye Tianlin's medicine hall."

When he arrived at Ye Tianlin's medicine hall, there were still many people who had not gone in to watch the people who went in and out to see a doctor and buy medicine, and there was a notice issued by Xiao Zheng to him outside the medicine hall.

Ye Tianlin was startled when he saw Xiao Zheng come in, and hurriedly got up to prepare to salute.

"Okay, don't come to those false courtesies, you know this person," he said, pointing at Zheng Xuanli.

There are still people who don't know, Ye Tianlin said to Zheng Xuanli in surprise: "Congratulations to Brother Zheng for also clearing his grievances and getting out of prison."

"You two will talk about the old days in the future, you can take a look at his wife's illness."

Ye Tianlin was not polite, and said to Xiao Zheng after diagnosing the pulse: "Long-term damage to the shoulder, neck and waist of weaving cloth, acupuncture supplemented by decoction can be cured."

"The medical skills are good" Xiao Zheng also wanted to study this guy's medical skills.

After diagnosing the pulse, Ye Tianlin looked at Xiao Zheng and asked with some hesitation: "My lord, did the villain hear from his peers that you can really disembowel?" ”

"That's nature, do you want to learn?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.

"As long as you are willing to teach, the villain will definitely want to learn," the guy said excitedly.

"I still have to deal with official business, you can come to me at any time when you encounter problems for the elderly, your medical skills are good, I will call you how to make plasters now."

After being busy with a few entourages to go to the outside of Yangzhou City, the scenery outside the city is good, but the villages that pass through are also bamboo huts and thatched huts, fortunately, it is summer, the food in the south of the Yangtze River is sufficient, and the pedestrians on the road are not hungry.

When they arrived at the lake, several people rented a boat and slowly rowed towards the lake not far away. As far as the eye can see, the scenery of the water and sky is very beautiful

"Old man, what's the name of this lake?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"Guest, this lake you are talking about is a branch of Dongting Lake," said the boatman, shaking his pulp

"Old man, the mountains are nice farther away, can you row a little more?"

Xiao Zheng pointed to the island across the lake and said to the old boatman.

"No, guest, the scenery of that place is good, but there are often water bandits, and the villain doesn't dare to go over, so you'd better not go over."

"How many years has the Tang Dynasty been founded, how can there still be water bandits?" Xiao Zheng asked in surprise.

"I don't know this villain, I listen to the accent, you are from far away. There have always been three evils in the land of Yangzhou and Chuzhou, the first of which is Jiao, and now there are many dragons in this Dongting Lake, this thing hurts countless people, and the people hate it to the bone but are helpless; This second evil is the water bandits, it is not right to say that it is a water bandit, those are homeless people, they do not pay taxes, and the government can't manage it, the little old man has met a few times, but the villain is a local and does not treat the villain well, you are a few foreigners, or don't go over; This third is the Water Gu."

The boatman said as he turned the bow of the boat.

"I know what the first two things are, is it what this water Gu is?" Xiao Zheng asked, sitting in the middle of the boat.

"This little old man can't say clearly, but the villain has seen a lot of people with this disease, and the whole body is swollen with this disease, the abdomen is greatly enlarged, the body is weak, and finally he dies slowly," .......

When I returned to the house, I called the warrior Tong over and asked about it, only to know that there were still a lot of displaced people outside the prosperous Yangzhou City.

The reasons for the formation are also complex, and some of these displaced people are the remnants of Xiao Mill who divided the two lakes during the Wude period. There were also the people who were scattered when Lin Shihong established the Chu State in Jiangxi, and the army was unwilling to return to the court. There is also the force of the Fugong rebel army that was suppressed and fled. Another part is that during the reign of Yang Guang, the remnants of the Sui Dynasty who were unwilling to surrender would hide in the swamps of the Great Lake, and Zheng Xuanli was the person inside.

I took the map of Yangzhou, pointed to Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, and said: "If you can build fertile land along the lake, I will no longer have to worry about hunger in the Tang Dynasty."

The warrior Tong was stunned and looked at Xiao Zheng and said: "Xiao Gong, don't think that when you go outside the city and see that there is a lot of fertile land that can be cultivated by the lake, I have been in power in Jiangnan for many years, and I know the climate here." In the rainy season, there are many rivers and floods, and sometimes after heavy rains, the fertile fields turn into swamps, and the crops planted will not grow after being soaked in water for a long time. This is also the reason why there are many businessmen in Yangzhou and Suzhou, but there are few farmers."

Damn, why did you forget this stubble, this is the flood discharge area of the entire south, no wonder you look at the river grass growing in the thousands of acres of fertile land outside.

I had to cough twice and arch my hand to the samurai Tong and said: "I have been taught, since there is a flood, then we can build water conservancy first."

Xiao Zheng said this, which startled the warrior Tong, and quickly straightened up and said: "My lord, although this water conservancy is a matter of merit in the present and beneficial in the future, but this water conservancy is related to the livelihood of thousands of people, and the slightest action costs the state money.

"Old Wu, how can you be smart and talk nonsense," Xiao Zheng patted Wu Shitong's shoulder and said.

"Do I want a copper coin for the official road from Chang'an to Luoyang and the saint, and besides, don't you also have your shares in that road, and you don't know how much money you earned?"

"My lord, of course the lower officials know how much money they have earned, but that money is nothing compared to the water conservancy in the south of the Yangtze River, and some water conservancy projects are not the same as building roads overnight, and they can't be stopped halfway, and once they stop, they are likely to be washed away by the water, so the water conservancy matter is only the power of the country, without him, the cost is great, please Xiao Gongshen said" Wu Shi Tong said to Xiao Zheng.

"Come, old Wu, come over and tell you something," Xiao Zheng said to Wu Shi Tong with a smile.

After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, Wu Shitong's eyes straightened, and he pointed at Xiao Zheng regardless of etiquette and said, "Xiao Gong, you really follow those ......"

"Lao Wu, just know, I ask you, do you want to do the construction of water conservancy?"

"Fucking stupid if you don't do it if you have the money," the guy said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Don't worry, we have to do something before we do this?"

"Please make it clear to your lordship, and the lower officials will fully cooperate," Samurai said excitedly, patting his chest.

"This matter must not be delayed, if you want to do it, you have to let the people settle down in advance, I will first learn to learn from Zhou, and come to a 'remove the three evils', haha......."
