Chapter 110: The 6th Quest Troubled Times Xiaolang Middle 9
Lu Renbing returned home, comforted his children who were terrified because he had not returned home for a long time, and began to farm and practice medicine.
Hongji is a place near the sea, with a warm and humid climate, which is suitable for farming. And because it is far away from the Central Plains, the humid and hot climate is easy to breed epidemics, so in the era when there is no leap in productivity, the population has never been prosperous.
Far away from the Central Plains, the wise doctor was too lazy to come here. Therefore, the news of the miracle doctor Lu Renbing spread here, and there was an endless stream of people from all over the world who came to seek medical treatment.
In the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, Jiaozhi County is a border land, with few people and poor land. Lu Renbing also thought so before. But it was only after arriving here that Lu Renbing found out that he was a frog at the bottom of the well.
The climate here is suitable, and the farming technology is completely copied from the Central Plains, and fertile fields with three crops a year and two crops abound. It is also close to the mountains and the sea, rich in products, and people are really short of food and clothing. However, this is a border county, and the officials are high and the emperor is far away. The exploitation of the local people is very heavy, and there is constant frustration with the surrounding small countries, and there are often wars and rebellions, so this is not a peaceful place.
The chaos in the Central Plains intensified, and the central government's control over the localities became weaker and weaker. There are already signs of warlord secession in local states and counties.
Lu Renbing has always attached great importance to these things, and the troubled times will eventually affect here. So he practiced medicine while strengthening his strength. Recruit displaced people and raise private armies to wait for troubled times.
Originally, Lu Renbing felt that his strategy of living away from the Central Plains could keep him alive until the end of his life.
As a result, a conscription order changed all his plans. It turned out that the emperor, who was already in turmoil, suddenly issued an edict to recruit famous doctors from all over the world to enter the palace, and the specific person who was treating the disease was not clearly stated in the edict. Although there is chaos in the world, there are still many loyal ministers in the centuries-old dynasty.
This Taishou of Jiaozhi County is such a loyal minister. The situation in the world is already like this, and he is still loyal to the emperor. Not only did he find a way to send taxes to the capital, but he also strictly implemented the emperor's will to recruit famous doctors.
In the past few years, Lu Renbing's reputation has become increasingly important throughout Jiaozhi, and Jiaozhi Taishou often invited him to the house for medical treatment. is full of praise for Lu Renbing's medical skills. He has been in this remote state and county for too long, and although he has made a lot of money, he has always had the idea of returning to the Central Plains.
However, the princes of the Central Plains seemed to have forgotten him, a border county with a shallow foundation, and had already served three terms in this place, and he had not been promoted.
He recommended Lu Renbing to Beijing this time, just with a little fantasy, with Lu Renbing's medical skills, to please the emperor, so that the emperor could remember his merits, and recall him back to the Central Plains.
Break the county order, destroy the door of the mansion. Lu Renbing is naturally not afraid of this Taishou, but his family is under the rule of others, so there is no need for him to put his family and his family in a dangerous situation for this matter.
His son, Lu Qianqian just married his wife, and the little padded jacket was to the right, and he was also looking at each other. He was also reluctant to break the situation.
After his son got married, Lu Renbing had begun to gradually hand over to him many matters such as his business of sea trade and the family's private army.
Lu Xiangqian did not live up to Lu Renbing's cultivation since he was a child, and now he is also a first-class martial arts master, and he is good enough to take on great responsibilities.
Lu Renbing has taken him with him since he was a child, and often instructed him on how to deal with various relationships. Two years before his marriage, Lu Renbing had already let him make a decision, which was Lu Renbing's confidence in handing over the family business to his son.
After several lifetimes of experience, Lu Renbing already has a set of mature routines for how to manage forces, and these are just pediatrics.
After settling down the family, Lu Renbing went to Taishou Mansion to answer the call. At this time, his little padded jacket was on the right, but he kept begging him to follow her into Beijing to see him.
Lu Xiangyou is 13 years old this year, which is the most naughty age, Lu Renbing and Lu Xiangqian both love her very much, making her develop a character that is not afraid of heaven and earth.
However, Lu Xiangyou has also suffered hardships, so although she is naughty, she is not the kind of Miss Jiao. She and her brother followed Lu Renbing to practice literature and martial arts, and also studied medical skills. Although he is only 13 years old now, he is also a small master, and his medical skills have also come to the house.
This made Lu Renbing very satisfied, thinking that his good daughter, according to custom, would soon get married, and in the future, she could only be locked up in a square inch and teach her husband and children. Lu Renbing felt very uncomfortable, so he simply took him to the capital to increase his knowledge.
When he arrived at the Taishou Mansion, Jiaozhi Taishou handed him a token official document, gave him property gifts, and sent a team of government troops to escort the Lu Shen Doctor to Beijing.
Lu Renbing led the road to the right, rode two ox carts, brought fourteen guards, and a team of thirty government troops on the road.
Lu Renbing didn't think about taking his own fleet into Beijing, but after all, this is a business matter, and there is no reason to use his own private boat.
In nine years, the world was in turmoil. The war in the north swept the world, and the giant Kou Huang Mou led the people to conquer the world, killing from Jiangbei to Jiangnan, and then roaring back to Jiangbei and capturing the old capital in one fell swoop. Although it was later suppressed by the feudal towns, the central authority was gone. Prefectures and counties in various regions have recruited their own troops and acted independently.
Although the legitimacy of the emperor was still recognized on the surface, the emperor's center could only be promulgated in Gyeonggi, and the troubled times really came.
There are many reasons for this state of affairs, but the endless natural and man-made disasters are an important reason, drought and flood disasters alternate, displaced people in various places, the central government is unable to suppress it, and it is also unable to encircle and suppress it, so it can only decentralize the military power to the localities. The struggle between the eunuchs and ministers in the center was endless, and the emperor and prime minister exchanged like a marquee.
In nine years, the emperor has changed three, and the prime minister has changed dozens. When Huang Mou contributed to the capital, the eunuchs seized the military power, openly slaughtered the disobedient prime ministers, and killed the emperor, which was simply appalling.
This is also an important reason for the loss of central authority.
Lu Renbing traveled all the way to the east, and the states and counties he passed through were all independent kingdoms, and every city he passed had to undergo a layer of exploitation. If it weren't for the fact that the states and counties still paid so much attention to the center, Lu Renbing would have been cleaned and soothed a long time ago.
Lu Renbing didn't do anything to stand out all the way, and his dealings with various states and counties were all negotiated by officials sent by Jiaozhi County.
It took four months to arrive in the capital. Lu Renbing thought to himself, if someone looking for a doctor was really that kind of emergency, it is estimated that this time of waiting for the doctor would have hung up a long time ago, and it would not be a fatal illness.
When he arrived in the capital, Lu Renbing stayed at the Duting Station, waiting for the county magistrate Zuo to deliver the official document to the palace and wait for the summons.
In his life, he did not run an official power, and his business contacts were more numerous than overseas trade. So everything about this court feels very unfamiliar.
Previously, he saw that the imperial examination system of this era was very similar to the Ming and Qing dynasties in the later generations, and the situation in the world was very similar to the end of the Ming Dynasty, so he thought that this era was similar to the era of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. However, the current situation in the world is very similar to the situation in the late Tang Dynasty and the early five dynasties. However, the reputation and official positions of many states and counties are very similar to those in the Han Dynasty.
Anyway, all of this is plausible, what era this is, Lu Renbing can't figure it out.
Not only the Central Plains, but also the overseas world is a mess, and it is not the same as the ancient world in the previous life, and it is a hodgepodge anyway.
Lu Renbing took a closer look at the history of various countries to see if there was a certain predecessor who had crossed over to change history. However, a lot of suspected traversers were found, but they can't be sure.
Because the changes in the countries have changed since ancient times, the difference from the history of the original world is fundamental.
So Lu Renbing can only say that this is an alternate world, a completely alternate world. This kind of world is the most difficult to do, because you don't know if the creator of this world is male or female.
If it is a man, then the main line of this world may be the Jin Ge Iron Horse, fighting in the court. If it's a female frequency, then it may be a palace fight or something, a bit of a headache. As a passer-by in the world, the original owner is just a little cannon fodder, how can he still be involved in this big drama?
Could it be that there is a female protagonist by his side, a female protagonist, or a male protagonist, a male protagonist? Thinking of his identity, could it be that he is the parent of the protagonist who was sacrificed to the sky at the beginning?
It's scary, yes! Lu Renbing, put his eyes on the side of the table, pretending to be reading the daughter Lu Xiangyou. Lu Xiangyou seemed to feel something, looked up and smiled sweetly at Lu Renbing, Lu Renbing shook his head helplessly.
