Chapter 44: Commercial Medicine
Snow Lotus's four sisters, Qi Rong, Mo Xiaoyu, Zhou Yan, and Yang Siqing, also came over and hugged Bai Guanren and their Sister Snow Lotus. Xuelian was hugged by Bai Guanren, and they hugged the two of them.
A rare victory, they wept with joy.
Since following Snow Lotus to the prairie to do business, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing. OK! It's this time that I met Prince Lanzhu of Yiqu, if it was before, their sisters would definitely be bullied by this villain Prince Lanzhu of Yiqu.
They could run away, but the rest of the caravan and its goods would be robbed.
With the strength of the five sisters, if they don't save people and ignore the goods, they should be able to run away. can be Sister Xuelian's temper, she would rather die in battle than be bullied, and she would not let others rob her goods or kill them.
Fortunately, I met it this time, and there were white officials by my side. Otherwise! The consequences are unimaginable.
"Hurry, hurry! Heal the wounded and clear the battlefield! and bury the dead, lest they draw the wolves. The one-clawed beast and the others rested for a while, and then began to shout.
The accompanying caravan physician was still alive, and he had been busy while everyone was resting. Luckily it is! In this scuffle, there were no new injuries. The caravan personnel who had been seriously wounded before were all killed in the melee. Of those who were slightly wounded, a few died, others only had their wounds ruptured and became seriously wounded.
Through the last battle, the weak people were all injured, and those who survived were the masters of the masters. Of course! Among the people who were injured before, there were also masters of the masters, and the injuries were just accidents. Because! On the battlefield, there are always accidents. Even if he is a victorious general, there are times when he is injured.
In Baekyu's caravan, there were specialized physicians. Just like in the army, there are accompanying military doctors. The doctors of the Baigui caravan must not only know how to heal people and injuries, but also know how to heal veterinarians and horses.
Other than that! The doctors in the Bai Gui caravan also require a high level of martial arts. But! Physicians don't need to be proactive. The purpose of his martial arts is to protect himself, and when the battle is over, he is going to heal other people and horses.
It is very inconvenient for the caravan to be accompanied by a physician. Especially during the plague epidemic, it can be dangerous if there are no doctors in the caravan. And also! When doing business with people, you can help your business partners deal with some medical matters.
And also! Treating the sick and saving people can bring the relationship between the two parties closer and leave a good impression on others, so that they can be taken care of by the other party when they come to this place in the future.
The standard configuration of the merchant doctor of the Baigui caravan is: one attending physician and two deputies who are also guards. The merchant doctor not only knows martial arts, but also assigns him security. Visible! Shang Shengbai Gui attaches great importance to business medicine.
Of course! The retinue of a merchant doctor refers to a business transportation task that generally takes several months or even half a year to complete during a long-distance journey. Short-distance commercial transportation tasks are generally only equipped with ordinary commercial doctors, or even unworthy.
For example! The last time he was transported from Wei to Zhao, that is, the last time Bai Gui was assassinated by King Wei Hui, there was no main doctor. Because! Wei and Zhao are neighbors, and the road is not far, so there is no need for configuration.
And this time to come to the prairie, it will take at least half a year or even a year, so the commercial doctor was transferred from Zhao State. This time, the commercial medical configuration is standard, with one attending physician and two deputies who are also guards.
The attending physician was a tall, emaciated middle-aged man, Zhao Guoren, who was proficient in medical skills, especially veterinary medicine. Other than that! He lived in the north and knew everything about the medicine of the steppe.
The medical skills and diseases on the prairie are different from those in Zhoudi, so! The accompanying merchant doctor must understand the diseases of the grassland people.
For the grassland people, it is a trivial matter for people to get sick, and they are generally barred. And if cattle, horses and sheep get sick, the grassland people are very anxious. Because! Cattle, horses and sheep are the lifeblood of grassland people, their parents for food and clothing, and their dependence for survival.
If goods were to be transported from Zhao or Yan in the north to Chu, Wu, Zhao and other countries in the south, Bai Gui's predecessors would hire doctors to accompany them in the territory of the Great Zhou. It is said that one year, he also hired Bian Que, a "miracle doctor" recognized by later generations, as an accompanying commercial doctor for him.
The two deputies were not outsiders, they were both apprentices of the doctor.
This business doctor's name is Zhao De, the word is joyful, easy-going, in addition to calling him a business doctor, everyone also likes to call him Zhao Xile, or call him happy.
His two apprentices, who are also his godsons, one named Zhao Yun and the other named Zhao Wu, are both orphans who were rescued by him when he was practicing medicine. He regarded them as his own, and both honored him as his father.
The acquaintance between Zhao Xile and Shang Shengbaigui's predecessors was also an accident. He was a very good man, and not only did he not get paid for his treatment of the wicked, but he was also framed by the wicked for framing him and trying to kill him. He happened to be met by Baekyu's caravan and saved him.
In fact! The wicked man didn't mean to kill him, but just wanted to pay the money and not pay for the medical bills, and deliberately found a reason to drive him away.
At that time, if he hadn't met Bai Gui's caravan and was rescued by Bai Gui's seniors, Zhao Xile would have paid for the medical expenses without remuneration for saving the sick and treating people, not to mention the medical expenses, and there would be a beating.
From now on! Bai Gui's predecessor became friends with Zhao Xile, and asked him for help if he had something, absolutely a word. Last time, he didn't go to Zhao Guo to invite him personally, so he asked someone to bring a letter, and Zhao Xile came and became an accompanying business doctor.
After treating the wounded, the commercial doctor Zhao Xile began to save the horse.
This! The main treatment is horses. Many of the horses carrying the goods had been cut by the impatient Yiqu people.
For horses with minor injuries, rubbing some wound medicine to stop the bleeding will do. For seriously injured horses, the only way to stop the bleeding is to stop it and then let them die naturally. You can't kill the horse openly, otherwise it will cause "horse anger".
Horses are spiritual creatures, and they would be sad to see their master kill their companions.
Dead horses can only be dealt with by the cooks accompanying the caravan after the caravan leaves. Throw? is impossible. It's a pity to bury it, it's usually skinned and eaten meat.
After dealing with the horse's injuries, Zhao Xile came to Bai Gui. Seeing Bai Gui sitting on the grassland with his five wives making love, he pouted. But! Considering the health of the white officials, it is better to come forward to stop it.
"White officials! You can't sit on the grass! The grassland is very humid and you can't sit for a long time......"
"Hehehe!" Bai Gui saw Zhao Xile come over to remind him kindly, and laughed embarrassedly.
Xue Lian and the others were very unhappy when they saw Zhao Xile running over to disturb them. But! Seeing that the other party is kind and the age is at the level of an uncle, forget it. But they were looked at by Zhao Xile, and they were all embarrassed.
"You've just had a fight, and you can't sit or lie down immediately after a strenuous workout! Such! Qi and blood will stagnate, and you will get sick. Zhao Xile reminded again.
