Zuo Shaoyang was a little proud when he heard his praise.

Xiao Yunfei said again: "This is a good idea, but I'm afraid rich people won't do it." ”

"Why?"

"The price of grain is high now, and the price of grain will definitely be low in the future, so it is not as cost-effective as grain on credit. In the future, it will be enough to pay back the grain. ”

"That's right," Zuo Shaoyang thought for a while and said, "In this way, anyone who has rented the land can sell the grain on credit, sign a mortgage guarantee contract, and return it with the grain from the autumn harvest." Only tenants who have signed a contract for rent and who are guaranteed by the local government can give grain on credit, and the rest of the people are not allowed to give grain on credit, but can only buy grain. It is also better to reduce the price of this grain, and the gap should not be too big, otherwise the rich will find a way to make trouble if they are unbalanced. ”

"Well, how much do you estimate they can afford it?"

"It can't be higher than five per bucket, it should be acceptable. This is already five times higher than before the war. The imperial court also has to make money. ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Shaoyang seemed to suddenly come to his senses, and said with a wry smile: "Let's think about what to do here, we can't be the master." ”

Xiao Yunfei smiled and said, "You came to me, don't you just estimate that I can think of a way?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "What good way do you have?" ”

"There's no good way, maybe you can come up with one or two."

"Brother's bad idea must be a good idea!"

Xiao Yunfei glanced at him and sighed: "Okay, just trust you so much, I'll reluctantly do a good deed for it, - I have never done good deeds, the first time I did it, I don't know if I did it well or not." ”

"It must be fine!" Zuo Shaoyang happily picked up his glass: "I toast you for the people of Hezhou Dawn!" ”

"Hahaha." In the laughter, Xiao Yunfei drank all the wine in the cup.

Full of wine and food, Zuo Shaoyang said goodbye and returned to the old house, just in time for the curfew.

Huang Po had already sent a basket of wine and food prepared by Xiao Yunfei to Zuo Gui and his wife, but Zuo Gui and his wife still brought it to everyone to enjoy together.

After learning that the imperial court began to sell grain in the afternoon, Shopkeeper Yu thanked him for his kindness, and then left Zuo's house with his wife and children to go back to his own home. Because the government has already issued an announcement, starting the next morning, the government will sell grain, although it is very expensive, but the rest of the family has no problem with money and can afford it.

The Houpp family was also grateful and moved back in. After the army handed over the grain to the state capital, the yamen also had the wages and rice of the officials and servants who distributed the grain. At noon, the yamen began to distribute two months of rice to his subordinates, which had been suspended from famine. Caring for his subordinates, Ouyang Tingshi still did a good job. Hou Pu used to have enough rice for the whole family to eat, but now he has two more months of rice, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about running out of food to eat. After saying goodbye to their parents, the family went home rejoicing.

Uncle Cai was going to flee with his son, but now he is giving gruel in the city, and he can still deal with it, and it is too expensive to buy grain, and his financial resources are a little unaffordable, but when he leaves to escape the famine, he is worried about the grocery store. So hesitant to wait and see.

Zhao Sanniang also wanted to leave with her children, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble to the Zuo family, but now the price of food is too expensive, and when the famine began, she had already spent all her savings, and there were only a few shops and residences left in the family, and she was reluctant to sell, so she wanted to wait and see.

Mulberry's mother and Sang Daddy have nothing now, the tea shop was sold to Zuo Shaoyang, and her daughter's health has not yet recovered, and she has no money to buy food, so she can only stay in Zuo's house first.

In the past two days, in order to give them the strength to escape, Zuo Shaoyang has eaten all pure grain without wild herbs and herbs, as well as frozen pork soup in the ice cellar.

The extreme weakness caused by famine is different from that caused by disease, as long as you resume your normal diet and proper nutrition, you can quickly recover your health. Dr. Ni's edema has not completely disappeared, but it has improved a lot, and there is no obstacle to normal activities.

Doctor Ni was full of spring breeze, and arched his hand: "Thank you Guizhitang for saving the lives of my family of four, now the yamen has begun to sell grain, although the price is very high, but my mother still has some jewelry, ready to buy food, should be enough to make a living." Therefore, I came to resign and prepare for the family to move back to Huimin Hall. ”

Father Zuo Gui arched his hand and said: "Okay, the war has subsided, only Yuzi has returned to normal, and there will be more and more people who see a doctor. ”

Dr. Ni shook his head: "If you didn't help this time, the whole family would have starved to death, what is the glory." Speaking of this, he arched his hand and said: "Brother Fool has another idea, please Brother Zuo fulfill it." ”

In the past two months, the two families have been together, and they have shared hardships, and Dr. Ni and Zuo Gui are also called brothers. Hearing what Dr. Ni said sincerely, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Brother Ni has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"The foolish brother discussed with his mother, in order to repay your life-saving grace, the foolish brother plans to be a doctor in your hall, and provide free medical treatment for your hall for half a year, and ask Brother Zuo to complete it."

Zuo Gui's father was pleasantly surprised, Dr. Ni is the most famous doctor in Hezhou, who had diagnosed the prince of the capital and received a gift from the prince. Although Dr. Ni has also been a sitting doctor in Guizhitang for half of the past two months, but in the past month or so, everyone has been concerned about how to fill their stomachs, rather than seeing a doctor, so there are very few patients, but if there is food, the stomach problem is solved, people naturally have to pay attention to the quality of life, and they will see a doctor if they are sick. The number of patients will increase very quickly.

At the beginning, Dr. Ni was invited to be a sitting doctor in Guizhi Hall, the purpose was very clear, that is, so that they could live naturally and eat together, and now that the war has subsided, if Dr. Ni proposed to be dismissed and return to Huimin Hall, it would be a natural thing, but he did not expect that he would be willing to continue to be a sitting doctor in Guizhi Hall for half a year, and it was a free clinic, to repay the grace of saving lives. This will undoubtedly greatly increase the popularity of Guizhitang.

Although Zuo Shaoyang is also very famous now, his fame is more due to other reasons, such as testifying for Huimin Tang Ni Er, such as being named a "model for supporting the army" by the general this time, and he really doesn't have much fame because of the treatment, only the treatment of strokes and fractures, some people know.

The patient is very practical, and Chinese medicine is largely an empirical medicine, and the patient trusts the old doctor more than the little langzhong. Therefore, if it weren't for a disease that Guizhitang is good at treating such as a stroke, and the patient can still get some money, he will go to Huimin Tang to find a famous doctor like Dr. Ni instead of going to Guizhitang to find a young Xiaolangzhong.

Now Dr. Ni is willing to provide free clinics in Guizhitang for half a year, which is tantamount to tearing down his own signboard and smearing gold dust on others' faces. If it weren't for the gratitude in his heart, Dr. Ni would not have made such a decision.

Father Zuo Gui thanked him, stroked his beard and groaned for a moment, and said: "Thank you Brother Zuo, but now that the war has subsided, and everything is waiting for the new, Guitang has suffered many disasters, and the last time it caused a lawsuit, the vitality was greatly injured, and even the house was gone, and this time it was tortured by famine, and his wife died, and only the old mother and the disabled younger brother were left in the family, and they had to be taken care of by Brother Ni." Brother Ni has to shoulder this heavy responsibility, and he is still too busy to take care of himself, how can the foolish brother bear to bother Brother Ni to sit in the hall for a consultation. Brother Tai still takes care of Guitang wholeheartedly, and after three or five years, Guitang's vitality will return to normal, and it will reappear as brilliant as before, and when there are enough people, Brother Ni still wants to help, and the foolish brother naturally accepts it, so he is at peace in his heart. ”

"Brother Zuo doesn't have to worry about his mother, brother-in-law and children, the foolish brother has his own arrangements......"

"No, no, the foolish brother has made up his mind, and this is unacceptable no matter what."

Dr. Ni repeated for a while, Zuo Gui's father just refused, Dr. Ni was helpless, thanked him again and again, and returned to Huimin Hall with his mother, disabled brother Ni Er and son Ni Zhi.

Although Ni Er is disabled and unable to move, Ni's mother has been in good health after a few days of nutritional supplementation, and there is no problem with laundry, cooking, and housework. Ni Zhi has undergone this great change, and there is no slave and servant in the family to let him make his surname, and he also changed his surname to the young master Bing, devoted himself to studying, and took time to help his grandmother with housework, so that Dr. Ni could concentrate on diagnosing diseases.

Huimin Hall resumed business, and Dr. Ni sat back in the hall for consultation, and the news immediately spread throughout Hezhou like wings. In the past, Dr. Ni's old sick number, digging wild vegetables and gnawing tree bark, survived the famine, and returned to Huimin Hall to see Dr. Ni one after another. Dr. Ni is a famous doctor in the end, and although the patients who come to seek medical consultation are not as good as before the war, they still occupy the forefront of Hezhou pharmacies. The increase in income soon enabled Huimin Tong to buy food to support his family. Some of the original guys and concoction masters who survived the famine were also invited back to Huimin Hall by Ni Er, but the original doctors who sat in the hall starved to death, and the doctors in the hall have not been able to recover, and Dr. Ni has not been able to take time to Guizhi Hall to help sit in the hall for consultation.

After sending Dr. Ni's family away, Zuo Shaoyang began to work on farming, at this time growing food was more important than seeing a doctor. In ancient times when there was self-sufficiency, sometimes money could not buy food, and self-production and self-consumption was the right way.

Zuo Shaoyang drew a sketch of an elevated drum truck used to lift water for irrigation in the terraced fields in the mountainous area, propelled by water power. He's already observed the erection there. The height of the waterwheel was designed according to the terrain.

While Zuo Shaoyang was busy, thinking that Xiao Yunfei would use his method to "persuade" Ouyang Tingshi to change his mind and reduce the price of grain, he didn't know what was going on, he was always worried, thinking that the state capital yamen was heavily guarded, Xiao Yunfei must not have anything happen!

Early the next morning, Zuo Shaoyang ran to the back and inserted a branch in front of the Qingfeng Temple, hoping to see Xiao Yunfei come back safely.

He didn't go anywhere, just sat at the gate of Qingfeng Temple and waited, and the monks inside, including the abbot of Zhikong, ignored him.

Not long after, I heard a lazy voice behind me: "Brother, what are you looking for me to do early in the morning?" Can't bother me enough? ”
