Not long after, Hu Xuan and others came back from Taishou Mansion, but they didn't see Liu Ting. Liu Yu thought to himself that the second brother should have left the king of Chu.

After asking about the diagnosis and treatment of Liu Yu's arm, everyone was disappointed when they learned that there was no progress. Liu Yu also asked about the Taishou Mansion to discuss the payment of grain.

"There is not much grain left in the granary under the jurisdiction of Fangzhou City, and the summer grain has not yet been harvested, so we can only rely on other ways." Hu Xuan said, "Listening to the meaning of King Chu and Yu Taishou, they want to adopt a similar ...... The method of the law of Ji is used to collect grain. This idea was proposed by Ming Jin, who was next to the king of Chu, and the king of Chu trusted him very much. ”

Liu Yuxin said that Fangzhou City was not affected by the disaster, and he did not bring rice with him on this trip, saying that it was the "Jiguang Law", and to put it bluntly, only "Guang" was highlighted, so that the rich could sell rice at a low price as disaster relief grain.

Su Yan was reprimanded by Liu Yu a few words before, and he was a little stunned, but at this moment, he also wanted to learn to know more, and asked, "What is the Jiguang method?" ”

Hu Xuan was speechless, when the King of Chu and others discussed, they knew that they would not annotate some inherent terms, Hu Xuan didn't know anything about disaster relief, how the King of Chu and others discussed, he just brought words.

Fortunately, Qi Fang is also a scholar and has a lot of knowledge, so he can understand the general situation after auditing. Qi Fang roughly explained the meaning of the Jiguang Law, to put it bluntly, it is to "rob the rich and help the poor" during the famine, and rely on the grain stored by the landlord's family to survive the famine. This method is a last resort and is prone to disputes and contradictions.

"Master, what do you mean?"

Liu Yu said: "Even if the rich manor of the entire Fangzhou City is turned upside down, it will be difficult to gather the 10,000 stone of grain needed by the local area, even if it is collected, what if it is collected?" Just relying on the more than 100,000 or 200,000 stone of grain brought back by a few princes, can the people of Guanzhong spend the year of disaster? ”

Su Yan didn't understand even more, and looked at Hu Xuan. I couldn't figure it out to him. I had no choice but to look at Qi Fang for help.

Qi Fang explained: "As many as one million people were affected in Guanzhong this time. 200,000 stone of grain, 24 million catties, distributed to the victims, only 20 catties per person, a full dozen, according to the extent of not starving to death, can eat for up to two months. There is no harvest of summer grain in Guanzhong this time, and there is no hope for autumn grain, and if there is no grain in the homes of the victims, they will not be able to survive this year. ”

Su Yan thought that he would save the disaster when he came out to pay for the food and went back, and the errand was not difficult. It should only be used for recreation. Now I found that not only could I not get the food, but even if I received the food, I still couldn't solve the disaster, and I was extremely shocked.

"Master, you ...... Tell me what you can do, you have the best idea. Su Yan hurriedly asked Liu Yu for help.

"I'm not a god, and I can't spit food out of my mouth, what can I do?" Liu Yu said with a complicated mentality, "Now my hand injury has not improved, and the others can only take one step at a time." ”

After lunch, Liu Yu continued to go out to find a doctor. Before he went out, Liu Ting came back drunk and full of hiccups. Seeing Liu Yuyi, he smiled and said, "Yo, twelfth brother, haven't eaten yet?" ”

When Liu Yu saw the smile on his face, he knew that Lu Dao should have climbed the vine of the King of Chu, Liu Yu just glanced at him, the two really lacked a common language, and came out with Su Yan and the others.

Su Yan and the others accompanied Liu Yu to the suburbs of Fangzhou to find a doctor surnamed He, who is said to be a famous local doctor.

The group was still extremely cautious, although there were not many guards in civilian clothes, but they were also with their blades. First, the bandits who had offended the fierce ghost village before, and secondly, more than 500 miles south from Fangzhou was the boundary of Huaiwang, and they had to be defended near the enemy border.

Dr. He is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a goatee, and asked Liu Yuwang about it, and said: "Little brother, this injury should be a blockage of qi and veins, I think it is from the hand of a martial arts master, right?" ”

This is the most reliable among the doctors Liu Yu has visited in the past few days, at least he said the cause of his illness.

"Then Doctor He, how can this injury be treated?"

Doctor He shook his head helplessly and said, "Forgive the old man for his lack of knowledge, and this injury to the old man cannot be cured." I can only prescribe you some medicine to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, and you have to move your arms more so as not to fall disabled. ”

Liu Yu sighed, and a hope was shattered again. This doctor, surnamed He, is already excellent in medical skills, but he still can't treat his injuries. It seems that the loss of an arm is the price of his freedom.

Although Liu Yu usually hurts badly when he moves his arm, he still often endures the pain and moves to make his qi and blood flow smoothly. In fact, his lower arm is no different from usual except for the redness and swelling, and the bones, tendons and blood vessels are not injured, but it is not good.

Coming out of Dr. He's house, Xu Xuanzhu's eyes were red, and she kept blaming herself for encouraging Liu Yu to go to the courtyard next door to eat that day to cause trouble. also blames her for being a "Kefu life", Liu Yu cherishes a woman who is wholeheartedly devoted to herself, and has a wound on her hand, but he is not the kind of pessimistic and disappointed person, for the rest of his life, even if he has a disability on his hand, as long as he can live happily every day, it is acceptable to him.

"Husband, the concubine will send an urgent document of 800 li to the emperor at noon, inform the husband of his injury, and ask the emperor to send a royal doctor to come for treatment." Xu Xuanzhu looked at Liu Yu and said, "Don't worry, husband, if the imperial doctor is here, you won't be afraid." ”

Liu Yu hesitated: "Use the resources of the imperial court to treat your own injuries...... Not quite right? ”

"What's wrong with that?" Su Yan said, "The master was also injured when he came out on a business errand, I believe that my father will be considerate, and the level of diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor is not a hundred times stronger than that of the doctors in these small places?" ”

Liu Yu glanced at the confident Su Yan, he knew that everything in the royal family in Su Yan's eyes was good, otherwise he would not have squeezed back desperately after becoming a commoner. But the imperial doctor is also a traditional Chinese medicine, and Liu Yu has always felt that this matter is unreliable, so it is not reliable.

The group walked on the way back to the city, passing a small market and suddenly a group of children ran out, holding some wood-like things and throwing them, Liu Yue subconsciously wanted to use his hands to block the throwing towards him, but forgot that his right hand could not move, this pull hurt so much that he could only stop temporarily.

The group of children were just frolicking, and soon they flashed into the alley, Su Yan picked up the round things from the ground, looked left and right, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Qi Fang and the others have seen it, but no one recognizes it. Liu Yu took it, and the round thing was not big, one finger was long, oval. Like a mountain fruit, the fur has been scraped.

"Maybe it's taro." Liu Yu said casually and threw the object in his hand behind him.

Su Yan still didn't understand, Liu Yu explained: "The taro paste you eat on weekdays is made of taro." ”

Liu Yu said, suddenly turned around, squatted down and carefully looked at the "taro" that he had just thrown away, although the thing thrown by the children looked like taro, and the skin was dry and wrinkled as if it had been dried, but Liu Yu still had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Liu Yu immediately picked off a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Husband, dirty ......" Xu Xuanzhu reminded that it was too late.

Liu Yu suddenly showed a smile on his face and said, "Where is this taro, it's clearly a sweet potato." ”

Su Yan asked, "What is a sweet potato?" ”

"Sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes." Liu Yu looked at everyone, everyone's faces were puzzled, and Liu Yu realized that sweet potatoes were not native to China, because sweet potatoes have another name called "sweet potato", which comes from the land of Outer Tibet.

"How can there be sweet potatoes here?" Liu Yu stood up and looked around for the child who was playing just now, looking for some clues.

"Master, what is it...... Sweet potatoes, what's all the fuss about? Su Yan didn't understand Liu Yu's face with a bit of excitement.

"You know what. Hurry up and help find it."

Liu Yu is holding a sweet potato in his hand, as if he is holding a treasure, and he adds sweet potatoes to his nest, which are two things that the older generation often talks about. Not only because these two things are eaten daily, but also because of the high yield of these two things, especially sweet potatoes, which are drought tolerant and resistant to harsh climates. In the old society where agriculture was underdeveloped, this can be said to be the foundation of ordinary people's lives, and not everyone can afford to eat white flour rice. The expansion of the Chinese population after the Qing Dynasty was largely due to the introduction of these two crops.

Liu Yu has made popcorn, and naturally knows that corn has been introduced to the Central Plains, and he used to think that it would be good if there was a roasted sweet potato to eat. Now he saw the sweet potato that excited him for the first time in this Jianghuai land.

"Who knows whose family those children belong to?"

Su Yan went to the mouth of the box and looked at it, and the figure had long since disappeared, and said with a sad face.

"Then ask from house to house, and bring back more guards by the way, and help inquire around, if you can find out the source of this thing, you will be rewarded." Liu Yu's tone was undoubtedly resolute. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
