Chapter 43 Joyful Thoughts

Time flies quickly, and Zhang Taiji has been in Ninghai Prefecture for half a month. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info these days he lives a very leisurely life, every day he enjoys the most noble treatment, everywhere people are warmly welcomed, and they can't help but welcome, because his 'Tai Chi liquid' treats epidemics, and the effect is so good! It can be said that the liquid is eliminated, and I don't know how many dying patients have been saved!?

After Zhang Taiji's 'panacea' enlightenment, the doctor also found a way to treat the symptoms, Du Mingjun can already eat normally, and occasionally get out of bed and walk around, which makes Immortal Chi very happy, and he is very grateful to Zhang Taiji, eating, living, and using, all of which provide the best.

Zhang Taiji doesn't think so, after all, the Zhang family is also a rich man, and his daily use is not bad.

But the children who play with Zhang Taiji every day feel that following Zhang Taiji these days, they are living the days of the gods, there are endless delicious foods every day, they can play whatever they want, and there are people who serve them! They really fell in love with playing happily with Zhang Taiji!

Zhang Taiji began to learn to ride a horse a few days ago, he didn't dare to ride a tall horse, so he asked Bu Lao Chi to pick a docile pony for him, and Su Hai personally taught him riding skills and accompanied him to practice.

No matter in his previous life or present life, Zhang Taiji had no experience in riding horses, so when he rode on a horse for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little scared, lying on the saddle, and didn't dare to do anything.

Su Hai led the horse for a few laps, Zhang Taiji found a little feeling, slowly relaxed his body, pedaled the horse with his feet, clamped the horse's body with his legs, stabilized his body, grabbed the reins with one hand, and his body naturally fluctuated with the horse's movements.

Seeing his appearance, Su Hai let go of his hand and patted it on the horse's buttocks, the pony ran forward, Zhang Taiji shouted with some excitement and some fear, as the horse ran, the feeling of galloping across the field and conquering everything arose!

The carrier pigeon that reported safety had already been released back home, Han Yue'e was not worried about Zhang Taiji, and sent a few reliable subordinates to rush over, and at the same time brought news from home, everything was fine at home, Han Yue'e still distributed 'Tai Chi liquid' every morning, and people who went to various places to sell 'Tai Chi liquid' were still very profitable!

Since learning to ride a horse, he rode a horse and Mullen every day to run around, cure the epidemic, and spread his reputation at the same time.

In this way, half a month passed before Zhang Taiji said goodbye to Immortal Chi and went home. Due to the abundance of milk, 'Tai Chi Liquid' has been made a lot and can be supplied in large quantities, so the epidemic near Muping has basically been controlled.

Bu Lao Chi repeatedly retained Zhang Taiji, he should have investigated Zhang Taiji's family history, and proposed that if Zhang Taiji was willing to stay, he could promote Zhang Baili as an official in Ninghai Prefecture.

Zhang Taiji naturally declined politely, Ninghai Prefecture was not an ideal base in his heart in terms of geographical location or population structure, and he had no choice but to express his gratitude to him with a heavy courtesy.

Originally, I negotiated with Su Hai about the condition of 'saving a person to a cow', but I couldn't fulfill it, because there were so many people who were cured that it was impossible to count, and not everyone could afford to produce a cow.

Zhang Taiji offered to pay for 500 cattle and horses. Immortal Chi was very generous and gave 800 heads, Zhang Taiji naturally would not be polite to him, and happily agreed.

There is no shortage of these cattle and horses, and there are countless cattle such as cattle, sheep, horses, etc. Most of the herders in Ninghai Prefecture graze cattle for his family.

Mu Lun and five other children were abducted by Zhang Taiji in the name of herding cattle and horses. These six are those he has carefully selected for their physical fitness, and they all have good character.

The six children are also very willing to follow Zhang Taiji, they are all orphans, and staying here is also to be a slave for the Immortal Chi family, it is better to follow Zhang Taiji to be a slave, at least there is something delicious! Is Zhang Taiji really just letting them be slaves?!

It is not easy to drive such a long distance from Jiaodong to Jiaoxi with hundreds of cattle and horses. It took three days to select the right cattle and horses, Zhang Taiji selected 400 cows and horses, and the cows tried to collect milk after they went back.

These horses are Mongolian horses, Mongolian horses are short in size and their appearance is not good, however, Mongolian horses are hardworking, not afraid of cold, can adapt to extremely extensive breeding management, have strong vitality, and can survive in difficult and harsh conditions. It can be walked more than 100 miles in four hours. The well-trained Mongolian horse, which is not frightened or deceived on the battlefield, is extremely brave, and has always been a good military horse

The Yuan Dynasty was extremely strict in the control of horses among the people, and whenever there was a major military action in the early stage, the imperial court temporarily imposed compulsory requisition measures in the people, and when requisitioning military horses from the people, the Mongols and officials at all levels could be taken care of and allowed to keep some horses; The horses of the Han and Nan people were often expropriated in their entirety.

During the reign of Boyan, not only did the Han people have weapons, but also horses, "the court was very suspicious of Han officials, and the southerners were not allowed to put weapons, and anyone who had horses was detained as officials." "Although this prohibition cannot be fully enforced, it is also reflected in the fact that the number of horses in the private sector is limited.

Why is Zhang Taiji blatantly owning horses now? This is because after the fall of the powerful minister Boyan last year, Emperor Yuan Shun used Totoku to govern, changed the Yuan to "Zhizheng", and announced "change", which is the so-called "change of Totoku". One of them is to open the ban on horses and allow the private sector to own horses.

Bulao Chi arranged for Su Hai to take fifty Mongolian knights, drive cattle and horses, and escort Zhang Taiji back to Jiaoxi. Along the way, they can't enter the town, they can only camp in the wild at night, and they need to detour when they encounter a large area of farmland, so the speed of going around and around is very slow, and they can't walk dozens of miles a day, this is still those Mongolian knights, they are all good herders, if you change to people who don't understand the habits of livestock, the cattle and horses have long been gone!

Zhang Taiji was really impatient, so he asked Su Hai to drive the cattle and horses slowly, and he took Zhang Fu and Mu Lun and other six teenagers to ride their horses and run along the official road to Jiaoxi.

Several children were like birds out of the cage, and they all galloped happily, sighing that they finally didn't have to walk slowly. After leaving the team and running away, Zhang Fu suddenly asked everyone to stop their horses and asked Zhang Taiji: "We are leaving like this, what if we encounter danger?" ”

A sentence woke up Zhang Taiji, and he realized that he and Mu Lun were both children, Zhang Fu was an adult, but he was only a weak scholar, and several of them lacked the ability to protect themselves. The world is not so peaceful now, what if you encounter robbers and bandits?

Zhang Fu was very self-blaming for his momentary confusion and failure to stop Zhang Taiji in time. He has become accustomed to obeying Zhang Taiji's arrangement, and he is even considered a 'blind obedience'

Turn around and go back, Su Hai They are not on the official road, who knows where they are going now. In desperation, they could only continue to move forward, and the other five children, the children forgot their nervousness after a while, and they still laughed and played, looking like a teenager who didn't know what it was like to be sad. Only Mu Lun was a little sensible, and kept calling a few children to let them stop a little.

A few people along the official road all the way, stay when it is not dark, the sun rises before the old Gao Cai set off, try to pick those roads with more people to walk, meet the same road often have to walk with people, it can be said that it is cautious, Zhang Taiji has been worried, looking forward to not having an accident!

It often backfires, and the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes! On this day, several people came to the front of a forest, there is no shop in front of the village, there are no pedestrians on the road, the avenue winds through the woods, there is no other road, Zhang Taiji looked into the woods, only to see the dense woods, covering the sky and the sun, there is no end in sight, from time to time there are bird calls like night owls, which naturally gives people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

Zhang Fu and Mu Lun couldn't stop watching into the woods, the five children seemed to be aware of the danger, no longer chasing and fighting, but looked at Zhang Taiji with a serious face, waiting for him to make up his mind, always waiting for a while It was even more difficult to do when it was dark, Zhang Taiji made up his mind and shouted: "Everyone follow, let's pass through the woods as fast as possible."
