Since Cao Shuo obtained Huainan and other places, the people in some surrounding areas learned that taxes would not be levied, and they dragged their children and daughters into Cao Shuo's territory.

All the people who came to defect were accepted by the local officials and distributed to houses and farms.

More and more people are settling down in Huainan, Xuzhou, Lujiang and other places, and the birth rate of newborns is also increasing rapidly, so that Cao Shuo has to arrange for someone to register how many people in each family.

In Cao Shuo's study.

He sat opposite a middle-aged man about forty years old.

The middle-aged complexion is fair-skinned, especially the two hands, which are slender like a woman's palms.

He is none other than Zhang Zhongjing, who Cao Shuo has been looking for.

"I know that Mr. is not willing to be an official." Cao Shuo said: "I invited Mr. here precisely to save the dead and help the wounded, and to uphold the morality of the doctor." ”

"That's what Childe said." Zhang Zhongjing said: "I'm not very interested in being an official, what I want to do most is to be able to indulge in medicine and save the world." ”

"Mr. has been in Shouchun for some days, I wonder if you have ever been to Bagong Mountain?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I've been there a long time ago." Zhang Zhongjing said: "It's just that although there are some medicinal herbs in Bagong Mountain, there are not many of them, and many medicinal herbs still need to be found elsewhere. ”

"Just tell me what herbs you need, sir." Cao Shuo said: "No matter where I can find it, I will let people find it." ”

Zhang Zhongjing thought for a while and said: "There are many capable people around Gongzi, and there are not many patients here, I'm afraid I'm ......."

"How can I say that there are not a lot." Cao Shuo interrupted him: "There have been countless casualties in the war for many years, and many times I can only watch the soldiers die of their injuries. At this time, I wish that a divine doctor could be by my side to save those soldiers who should not have left......"

Cao Shuo said that he was moved, he got up and bowed to Zhang Zhongjing, bowed and said, "Please also ask Zhang Gong to look at the faces of the soldiers and stay in Shouchun." ”

Cao Shuo saluted him, how dare Zhang Zhongjing accept it.

He hurriedly stood up, saluted Cao Shuo in return, and said, "Childe doesn't have to be like this, I'll stay here." ”

Zhang Zhongjingken stayed, and Cao Shuo asked happily: "Dare to ask Zhang Gong if there is anything else I need me to help do?" ”

"It's nothing." Zhang Zhongjing said: "It's nothing more than asking Gongzi to allow me to enter Bagong Mountain at any time......"

Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Zhang Zhongjing: "Bagong Mountain is not mine alone, anyone can enter the mountain and bring things out of the mountain." What I don't allow is just deforestation and stone mining to destroy the mountain. ”

"How is Gong Zhang's place?" Cao Shuo asked again.

Zhang Zhongjing replied: "Since I came to Shouchun, Pang Gong has taken great care of me, and the place where I live is fine. Just ......"

Zhang Zhongjing wanted to speak and stopped, Cao Shuo said: "If Zhang Gong has any needs, just ask, and I can do everything I can." ”

"It's not convenient to live in Shouchun City after all." Zhang Zhongjing said: "I want to implore Gongzi to allow me to move to the foot of Bagong Mountain......

Cao Shuo pinched his chin and thought for a while and said, "Yes!" However, living at the foot of Bagong Mountain, I can't let Zhang Gong live alone, I have an arrangement, I don't know what Zhang Gong thinks. ”

"Childe, please speak." Zhang Zhongjing responded.

"There is also a fire dance camp under my command at the foot of Bagong Mountain." Cao Shuo said: "If Zhang Gong agrees to live next door to them, I will arrange for someone to build a house there." ”

Zhang Zhongjing wanted to live outside the city, but he refused to live in a place where there were too many people.

When Cao Shuo said this, he was also a little troubled.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhongjing said: "Living next to the Fire Dance Camp is bound to bring them a lot of trouble......

"Zhang Gong lives outside alone, and I worry about it all day long, doesn't it bring me a lot of trouble?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "There is a fire dance, and I am also a lot more relieved." ”

"If you have to, forget it." Zhang Zhongjing said: "I want to move outside the city, just to be clean. ”

"Sir wants to live in seclusion?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's not a recluse." Zhang Zhongjing said: "It's just to find a clean place, devote yourself to studying medical Tao, and write out the medical books that you have always wanted to write." ”

"Still seclusion." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "There is a saying that I don't know if Mr. has heard of it." ”

"Childe, please." Zhang Zhongjing said with his fists clenched.

"The small is hidden in the city, and the big is hidden in the wild." Cao Shuo said: "In Shouchun City, it is more convenient for us to take care of Mr. ”

"That's what Childe said." Zhang Zhongjing said: "It's just that the surroundings are too noisy, and it often makes people upset. ”

"Too noisy?" Cao Shuo asked, "Is the gentleman's house close to the market?" ”

"It's the street right out of the door." Zhang Zhongjing said: "It's okay at night, but during the day, it's really unbearable for vendors along the street to sell." ”

"Someone." Cao Shuo shouted out the door.

Cai Ji entered the house, clenched his fists and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Have you been to Gong Zhang's residence?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I've been." Cai Ji replied.

"What's going on on the neighborhood street?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"The streets?" Cai Ji was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said to Cao Shuo: "There are many hawkers on that street, and many hawkers are noisy along the street during the day. ”

"Zhang Gong studied medicine, how could he live in such a noisy place?" Cao Shuo asked, "Can you still find a cleaner house in the city?" ”

"Difficult." Cai Ji said: "There are a lot of foreign businessmen in Shouchun now, and many people buy industries in the city, and the good terrain has been bought. ”

"If someone else buys it, you go and buy it back for me." Cao Shuo said: "No matter what, we must arrange a spacious and quiet house for Zhang Gong. ”

"I'll do it." Cai Ji responded.

"Give me time." Cao Shuo asked, "It can be done in a few days." ”

"Two days." Cai Ji said: "Shouchun City is so big, two days is enough to find a new house. ”

"Do it now." Cao Shuo waved his hand.

Cai Ji retreated.

Cao Shuo said to Zhang Zhongjing: "Gong Zhang, I did a bad job in this matter, I didn't think too much about it, please forgive me!" ”

"I'm already very scared of causing trouble to my son." Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly said: "How dare you blame the son? ”

"Zhang Gong just said that he was compiling a medical book?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Exactly." Zhang Zhongjing said: "I want to leave all my life's learning to the world, and it is only fitting to compile a medical book." ”

"Sir is indeed a famous doctor." Cao Shuo asked, "Dare to ask what is the title of the book that Mr. compiled?" ”

"I'm going to name it Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases!" Zhang Zhongjing said: "The book is nothing more than a record of some cures for incurable diseases. ”
