When Huang Zhong heard this, he knew that this Lord Liu must know some famous doctor, so he hurriedly rushed back to the house and took out his son. I saw that this child was also born with a tiger's head, but his face was like gold paper, his eyes were closed, and his life was already hanging by a thread. The group got on their horses and galloped straight to Chen's house, which was now Zhang Ji's temporary clinic.

Zhang Ji's fingers slowly left the child's wrist and nodded slightly.

Liu Xin asked eagerly, "Zhongjing, how is this child's condition?" ”

Zhang Ji replied unhurriedly: "Lord, this child's veins are flirtatious and tight, cold and sweatless, this is a disease of solar typhoid fever." ”

Huang Zhong heard him say that he was sick, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Since Mr. knows this disease, please save my son's life!" ”

Zhang Ji stretched out his hand to help Huang Zhong and said, "Hurry up, this brother doesn't have to worry, I have a dose of ephedra soup, and I can be cured after taking it for a few days." ”

Liu Xin listened to it beside him, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Huang Zhong: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhongjing's medical skills are unparalleled, and your son will get better soon." ”

Huang Zhong arched his hand at Liu Xin and said, "Thank you for saving the child." ”

Liu Xin said indifferently: "Don't say it's your child, it's just the child of an ordinary yellow turban thief, if you are seriously ill and I bump into you, I will also ask Mr. Zhongjing to try his best to save him, because no matter what, the child is innocent." However, if you violate military orders, I will not spare you! These days, you take good care of the child first, and when the child recovers, you can go to the state governor's mansion to accept the guilt. ”

Huang Zhong had already burst into tears, choked up and couldn't speak, just nodded frequently.

Liu Xin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take the top and go get the medicine for the child!" I'll be waiting for you in three days. ”

Zhang Ji looked at Huang Zhong's departing back and said to Liu Xin: "The lord is really a benevolent and righteous person, and I really didn't follow the wrong person." ”

Liu Xin said embarrassedly: "Okay, Mr. Zhongjing doesn't need to praise me, it's you who saved the life, I didn't do anything." By the way, your medical school has been established for a month, why don't you take in an apprentice? ”

Zhang Ji sighed and said, "Alas, it's hard to say." Don't talk about those children of the scholar clan, even ordinary people don't want their children to learn medicine, my signboard has been hanging out for half a month, but no one comes. ”

Liu Xin didn't expect things to be like this, pondered for a while, and said: "It's okay, I asked Mr. Zirou to build an orphanage, which houses a lot of orphans, and it is also located in this mansion, you have time to go there to have a look, maybe you can pick a few with good qualifications." In addition, there are many homeless women, and you can also choose some competent ones and train them in the knowledge of midwifery. ”

Zhang Ji was very excited about what Liu Xin said about choosing orphans as apprentices, but he didn't understand what midwives had to train. In fact, he didn't know that Liu Xin was very worried about women's birth and child care in this era, both of which were important reasons for restricting population growth, and population was an important resource for him to compete for the world in the future.

Liu Xin unexpectedly received two generals, and he was in a good mood. Although they have not yet been entrusted with official positions, the abilities of these two people are beyond doubt, especially Huang Zhong, who was still able to kill Xiahou Yuan in his fifties, and now he is in the prime of life, and his martial arts should be at the peak, and it is estimated that even if he meets Lu Bu, he will have to fight.

Nanyang and Nanxiang are in full swing to rebuild, and Kuai Yue and Han Opera have also been sent over to assist Zhang He and Xu Huang respectively. However, under the influence of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, almost everything from wood and ploughing cattle to needles and threads was lacking, and the caravan of the Wang family played an important role in it, solving the urgent needs of the two places. This is still a win-win situation, although the price increase of each commodity is not much, but the victory is large, and the Wang family still made a lot of money. In order to attract businessmen from all over the country to participate in the construction, Liu Xin even demanded that all transactions reached with the government be settled on the spot and never be in arrears.

The expansion of Xiangyang City has progressed quite rapidly, not only the construction of various official residences, research institutes, medical schools, and academies has started at the same time, but also the main streets and drainage facilities in the new city area have begun to be fully built, and the whole city has become a large construction site, and the demand for various building materials has skyrocketed. Keen businessmen soon sensed the business opportunities here, coupled with the success story of the Wang family, these people have invested in it, and all kinds of material resources have been transported to Xiangyang, ensuring that the projects can be carried out smoothly.

In addition to the medical school and the orphanage, the rest of the Chen Mansion was used to form a research institute, and a group of highly skilled craftsmen were called in to carry out a number of research at the same time. Anyone who can enter the research institute will be regarded as a member of the government in the future, and this policy makes those craftsmen quite excited, and they can finally eat the emperor's grain. According to Liu Xin's meaning, they are divided into three grades: academician, technician and technician, different grades enjoy different treatment, as long as they make significant contributions, they can be promoted up one level. Xiang Lang, who is also the director of the research institute and the commander-in-chief of the construction of Xiangyang City, has become the busiest person for a while.

Also full of enthusiasm is Kong Wen. It didn't take long for the first batch of high-quality paper to be produced, and Liu Xin personally named this batch of paper "Xiang Paper". With the birth of Xiang paper, Mo Xiang Zhai was also opened in Xiangyang, Wancheng, Zhangling, and Changsha at the same time, and the first day that Xiang paper was put on the counter was snapped up by the scholars and doctors, and had to implement a limited supply.

The secret spy organization has also been set up. Because no one had ever set up such a special organization before, and there was no experience to learn from, for the purpose of cultivating the team, Fu Zhu first conducted a pilot project in the four counties under Liu Xin's control, so that if necessary, he could come forward and get the support of the local government. However, he was not happy, because he was still in charge of the state's finances, and with so much work being carried out at the same time, the money in the treasury flowed out like flowing water, which made him feel distressed.

In the entire Xiangyang City, if there is anyone who is more leisurely, it is Cai Yong. Although Liu Xin had appointed him as the head of Xiangyang Academy, Liu Xin wanted students to have a stable and peaceful place to study, and insisted that he would not allow him to admit students until the academy was officially completed. So Cai Yong has always only been paid and doesn't have to work. However, Mr. Cai is not an idle person, after he sorted out the more than 3,000 books he brought, he also carefully sorted out the books that Liu Xin confiscated from Chen Jie's house. Now he has become interested in the peaks southwest of Xiangyang, and as long as the weather is fine, he always goes out of the city to have a visit.

With the smooth development of various undertakings, Liu Xin's attention was again focused on army building. He carried out a radical reform of the army structure, dividing all the armies into regular and local armies. The regular army is similar to the field troops of later generations, while the local army only serves some guard and guard duties. The defeated army of Nanyang has also been broken up and assigned to local armies in various places.

The biggest headache for Liu Xin is the special forces he has always wanted to set up, and he very much hopes to have a sharp knife unit similar to the Navy SEALs in later generations, but he knows nothing about this. For this reason, he had to put down his shelf and humbly ask Ma Yun for advice.

Ma Yun agreed with Liu Xin's idea of setting up a special forces, and thought about it for a night, and then said to Liu Xin: "Although I have participated in military training, I have never really been a soldier, and I am even less clear about how to train special forces." But I have seen the training of special police, and special forces should be different from other units, and his focus should be on individual skills and small team cooperation. I think we should start with the physical fitness of the soldiers, which can be divided into several subjects for training: physical fitness, field survival, hand-to-hand combat, and stealth camouflage. ”

Liu Xin pondered Ma Yun's words carefully, and said in embarrassment: "The soldiers in the Jingzhou area, judging from their physical condition alone, are not as good as the soldiers recruited in the river, let alone the nomads on the grassland. If you want to pick out enough people who are suitable for special forces, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. ”

Ma Yun has her own thoughts about this, and said: "I guess it has a lot to do with eating habits. The ethnic groups on the grassland eat more beef and mutton, while the people in Jingzhou mainly eat corn, which should be caused by insufficient protein intake. Ways could be considered to enhance the nutrition of these recruits. ”

Despite facing many difficulties, Liu Xin's special forces were still formed, and after returning to the team, Huang Zhong and Wen Ping were appointed by Liu Xin as captains, and this unit was handed over to the two of them.

Gradually, it was already the height of summer, and Liu Xin arranged a two-hour rest time for the migrant workers, soldiers, and Yellow Turban captives at noon, and prepared a cool soup for them according to the recipe provided by Zhang Ji.

Midsummer is the hardest day of the year, the midday sun is raging fiercely, the branches of the willows are hanging listlessly, and the dogs are so hot that they stick out their red tongues.

Ma Yun and Bian Yu both have the habit of taking a lunch break, and even Xiao Liu Yu was coaxed to sleep. Since changing his career to not being a thief, Liu Xin has not adapted to the life of day and night, and he can't sleep during the day no matter what. There seemed to be a fire outside, and Liu Xin was naturally reluctant to go out, so he was bored and had to wander around in the back garden.

Recently, Liu Xin has been busy, and Liu Xin has not been in the garden for a while. The flowers and trees in the garden were growing wildly unscrupulously, and the green was thick and deep. From time to time, cicadas chirped in the trees, and occasionally a few bubbles rose in the pond, thinking that the fish had come up to breathe. Some of the lotus flowers in the pond are already in full bloom, and some are about to bloom, and the melodious frog chirping is refreshing, and the body seems to have a trace of coolness.

Liu Xin involuntarily walked towards the pond, only to hear the sound of "plop", a few splashes in the pond, and a circle of ripples towards the shore. Liu Xin raised his eyes and vaguely saw a green figure sitting under the willow tree by the pavilion, with a hand raised, and there was a "wave" in the pond, and there was another splash.
