Tai Shici escorted the old man to the north all the way, his name was Hua Tuo, and the pink "Brother Gongzi", named Mi Zhen, was the daughter of the Mi family.

In addition to Hua Tuo, a top talent who is regarded as a treasure by Liu He, there is also Mi Zhen, the eldest lady who has not yet married into the Liu family, who is qualified to be escorted by Lao Tai Shici personally?

When the team going north to Jicheng was still in Qingzhou, Liu He, the "commander-in-chief of drought and disaster relief in Hebei Prefectures", sent a cavalry team of Longhuwei to wait in the southern part of Bohai County, which shows how much he attached importance to Tai Shici's team.

It has been more than half a year, although there has been no large-scale war in Jizhou and Youzhou like Xuzhou, but the difficulties they face are not less than Xuzhou, just a rare drought tossed the people of several prefectures in Hebei unspeakably miserable, if you add the locust plague in the spring and summer and the outbreak of epidemics in individual counties and townships, it is simply worse, and the disaster is not a single line.

Fortunately, the young commander-in-chief is not an embroidered pillow, he has a unique way in dispatching troops, and he is also different in fighting disasters, and he has led more than 6 million people in Jizhou and Youzhou to survive such a difficult year.

Although dead trees and crops can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, and there are patches of dry and cracked land, the security in the county is very peaceful, the adults are busy building roads, dams, and ponds, and the children are frolicking in the open field, and they don't seem to be hungry. Otherwise, there will be no strength to run outside.

Hua Tuo, who had seen many tragic things in the world, was a little puzzled, and he asked Tai Shici, who was accompanying him: "Along the road, I heard that Jizhou and Youzhou have suffered a rare drought this year. Now it seems that the overlapping county has not been spared, the old man is strange that he has entered the overlapping county for dozens of miles, why did he not see the funeral procession and the tomb of the new base, could it be said that no one was starved to death here? ”

Tai Shici did not personally participate in the drought relief in the past, but he had already received the relevant order from the Jicheng Command before leaving Jizhou, so he explained to Hua Tuo: "As early as the beginning of the year, Cai and Xu Xianjiu of Yenching University predicted that there might be a major drought in the north this year. Youzhou and Jizhou immediately began to make various arrangements for fighting drought and providing disaster relief, not only setting up a unified command structure, but also mobilizing the forces of all sides. Imagine the difficulties and dangers to the maximum, and start preparing early......"

After listening to Tai Shici's explanation, Hua Tuo said: "The people of Youzhou and Jizhou can meet a noble person like the eldest prince who is sympathetic to public opinion, it is really a blessing!" ”

When the team entered the county seat. He was stopped by the guards guarding the city gates. Several middle-aged men dressed as healers came to inspect them with small masks covering their muzzles and noses, reportedly in accordance with the state's orders, to routinely inspect passers-by entering the city.

There are miracle doctors like Hua Tuo and a few of his proud disciples in the team, of course, there will be no such thing as contracting the epidemic, so Tai Shici took out a special pass seal letter and led the team directly into the county seat.

Hua Tuo was very interested in such an examination, and when he passed by several doctors, he deliberately stopped. I just said that I am also a nomadic practitioner of medicine, and I want to know how several colleagues quarantine passers-by.

The three doctors in the county saw Hua Tuo older. And he was in the team with a special identity, so he patiently introduced it to Hua Tuo. After Hua Tuo listened, he was noncommittal and entered the city thoughtfully.

After Tai Shi Ci saw the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Guard cavalry who came to respond, he carefully explained to him and said: "Tomorrow you will escort the Divine Doctor and Miss Mi Jia on the road, you must be enthusiastic, patient and thoughtful on the way, Hua Shenyi likes to inquire about the people's situation along the road, and sometimes even takes a few apprentices to treat the seriously ill patients you see on the road, you just go with him, don't rush and annoy him." Miss Mi family has her own slave maid to take care of, usually don't like to show up, if there is anything you can ask the second manager of the Mi family directly, don't disturb Miss Mi family. ”

Although the leader who came to answer was a person from Liu He's side, he didn't dare to be a little sloppy about the precautions that Tai Shici explained, and kept them all in mind, so as not to mess up this errand. A character who can make the dignified general Zhenwei have to be careful to accompany him, how can a small cavalry marquis take it lightly?

Tai Shici was anxious to return to the Zhenwei Army, and after having a meal with Hua Tuo that night, he left in a hurry early the next morning, but Hua Tuo stayed in the county in a good way, and seemed to have not yet appreciated the customs here.

The leader of the guard received a special reminder from Tai Shici, and did not dare to stop the old divine doctor from wandering around the city, so he had to divide some of his subordinates to follow from a distance, lest Hua Tuo be arrested as a spy by the thief Cao in the county ya.

The miracle doctor had a strange habit of not going to some "high" places, but he chose to linger in the mixed markets, and from time to time he inquired with the local people about some things.

In the evening of this day, Hua Tuo, who had eaten a meal, took his three apprentices to a teahouse in the city, picked a corner tower that no one paid attention to and sat down, and then asked Xiao Er, who ran the hall, to give everyone a bowl of oil tea that only exists in Jizhou and Youzhou, and tasted it carefully.

Although this kind of oil tea has a tea character, it is completely different from the cheap big bowl of old tea sold in later tea houses, and it is actually a paste-like diet made of wheat flour mixed with animal fat, minced salt and some seasonings. Tea is now definitely a high-end drink in Dahan, and it cannot be seen in the ordinary market, that is, it may not be possible to find a few taels in the entire overlapping county.

At this time, some old customers have come to the teahouse one after another, they are either the owners of the shops on the nearby streets, or the businessmen who come and go to Qingdao and Hebei.

A fat fur merchant said in a loud voice: "Have you heard that the Hu people in the north are going south to invade Youzhou again? ”

"What? These steppe barbarians raised by bitches still dare to come to fight the idea of Youzhou? Another Youzhou sheep merchant who had just returned from Qingzhou slapped the table and scolded.

The leather merchant said: "I only came back from the newly built Baishan Governor's Mansion in the north a while ago, and I saw with my own eyes that the soldiers and civilians there have begun to move to the south. ”

A loyal "fan" of Liu Yu's father and son stood up and said: "Even if there are more Hu people in the north, there are Taifu and Dagongzi sitting in Youzhou, and they will keep these miscellaneous people who have mothers and fathers and will not come back!" ”

"There are 100,000 troops in Youzhou, what are we afraid of?"

"Kebineng is just a defeated general under the cavalry general Zhao Zilong, if he dares to come this time, he will definitely not be able to go back!"

"This time to fight against the Hu people, I am willing to donate half of my family property to support the eldest son!"

There were many people in the teahouse who suddenly shouted, and no one was worried that Youzhou would be attacked by the Hu people, and everyone was in a posture of rolling up their sleeves and preparing to fight, which made Hua Tuo a little surprised.

Hua Tuo's eldest apprentice, Fan A from Pengcheng, whispered to the master: "I have long heard that the people of the north are fierce, and now we have just entered Jizhou, and we have appreciated the fierce and aggressive temperament of the people here. ”

Hua Tuo's second apprentice, Wu Pu, a native of Guangling, also echoed and said: "This place is still more than a thousand miles away from the Great Wall defense line in the north, even if the Hu people attack Youzhou, it is also a matter for the military and people of Youzhou, and it will not affect this place, why do the people of Jizhou also support and support Liu Bo'an and his son so much?" ”

Hua Tuo told the two apprentices: "Youzhou and Jizhou have long been indistinguishable from each other, and Liu's father and son have received more support here than the Son of Heaven, especially this year, there was a great drought in Youzhou and Jizhou, and later there was a locust plague and plague, and there were not too many people starving to death and dying, which made the prestige of Liu's father and son even more prosperous." When you practice medicine in the north in the future, you must not talk about the Liu family and his son, lest you be driven away by the locals. ”

Hua Tuo's youngest apprentice was named Li Dangzhi, he was still a young man, and he stuck out his tongue and said, "It's so scary, you can't even say it." ”

The four masters and apprentices were talking in a whisper, and suddenly there was silence in the teahouse, and the guests who were still talking about it were staring at the table where Hua Tuo was with their eyes.

The Youzhou sheep merchant came to Hua Tuo with a black face, and then said unceremoniously: "You people, you don't look like Jizhou and Youzhou people, what are you talking about here?" Be careful that I report to the government and take you to prison as spies! ”

At the time of embarrassment, the Dragon and Tiger Guard Marquis, who was waiting outside the building, hurriedly ran in with a few subordinates and explained to everyone: "Don't misunderstand, folks, this old gentleman is a distinguished guest specially invited by the eldest prince to Jicheng, and it is not a small work. ”

After saying this, the military marquis hurriedly escorted Hua Tuo's master and apprentice out of the teahouse.

In the teahouse, the Youzhou sheep merchant was stunned for a moment, and learned that he was wrong to blame the bearded gentleman, so he hurriedly chased him out and shouted to Hua Tuo, who had not gone far: "I don't know the name of Mr. A certain is Youzhou Macheng sheep dealer Fan 13, the old gentleman will go to Macheng when he is free, I will send you a few high-grade Daqingshan fat sheep to apologize! ”

Hua Tuo was made to cry and laugh by this sheep merchant, one moment this person also threatened to send himself to prison, and the next moment he even sent a few sheep just to apologize, the character of Youzhou people is really clear love and hate, straightforward and cute.

Li Dangzhi had a naughty personality, he deliberately fell behind, and when Hua Tuo was not paying attention, he turned around and ran back to Fan Shisan, and then said solemnly: "My master's surname is Hua, his name is Yuanhua, he is a miracle doctor in the world, and he has lived countless people, this time he was invited by the eldest prince to come to the north to help the eldest prince deal with the epidemic, you hurry back to Macheng to prepare the best cattle and sheep, maybe my master will really taste it!" ”

After saying this, Li Dangzhi smiled and ran away. (To be continued......)
