Chapter 460: Prosthetics
Not to mention Lin Zifu and Ye Beichen's status in the military camp, Wang Changxi's injuries have almost healed, and after taking a lot of medicine, he gradually returned to a normal complexion, but it is not enough to go into battle to kill the enemy, so he will help boil medicine in his spare time.
"Doctor Lin, what do you say I will live in the future, I still want to go back to marry my daughter-in-law after the war, I lost a leg, and no one wants to marry me in the future." A familiar teenager said with a sullen face.
Many people in the tent couldn't help but laugh when they heard the boy's words.
The young man blushed, looked around at the people who laughed at him, and complained: "You only know how to laugh at me, my mother has been looking forward to holding her grandson, I am only nineteen years old, I don't think about marrying a daughter-in-law, what do you think about!" It's a pity that no girl is willing to marry me. ”
His family's conditions are not good, they are all very poor in the village, and it was not his turn to come, but unfortunately his family is poor, and after he received the money from the outside, he replaced the outside.
But I didn't expect that my leg was cut off by the enemy, and I almost died under the enemy's knife, and this life was picked up thanks to Lin Zifu.
So he and Lin Zifu are very close, and they will say anything that comes to mind.
Lin Zifu bandaged the young man's wound and said: "What are you worried about, when the battle is over, I will make you a prosthetic, your leg is only broken from the knee, you can still walk with the prosthesis, and there will be a large amount of silver subsidy for you after you go back, as long as you have silver, someone will marry you." ”
The young man was innocent, and his still low mood instantly became happy, raised his head, looked at Lin Zifu with blazing eyes, and asked seriously, "What you said is true?" Can you really walk? ”
The soldiers in the barracks were convinced by Lin Zifu and Ye Beichen's medical skills, and several injured people who were almost breathing when they were brought back from the front were all cured, and it can be said that they were pulled back from the Ghost Gate.
The young man was convinced of Lin Zifu's words.
Lin Zifu smiled and said, "When did I lie to you, He Changqing, you can't trust me a little?" ”
He Changqing smiled: "Don't I want to marry a daughter-in-law, I am still thinking about having a few children in the future, if it is a boy, it will be sent to the military camp to defend the country, and if it is a girl, I will teach them to read and write, and they will not be bullied in the future, no!" It's not enough to read and write alone, I want them to learn medical skills, so that they can heal and save people in the future. ”
He felt more and more that it was good for girls to know something, look at Wang Xiaoya, but the soldiers were envious in their hearts, and Lin Zifu, who didn't worship it! The medical skills are so good, and the people are so gentle.
Lin Zifu is also wondering whether to put the prosthetic matter on the agenda at that time, there are too many people with leg injuries here, if this problem can be solved, it would be good.
However, He Changqing's idea is good: "It's okay for girls to learn more things, what kind of woman is virtuous if she is not talented, this is all nonsense, you said that if I believe these words, I won't be able to help you today?" So! Nothing is more important than self-reliance. ”
He Changqing nodded vigorously; "Doctor Lin, what you said is right, now that I am sending my daughter-in-law, I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, and I don't know when I will be sent away."
Seriously injured or disabled soldiers will be sent away, as long as the injury is healed, they will be sent away, and a considerable amount of settling-in allowance will be given after leaving, which is also the largest expense of the Eight Princes, which can be said to be better than the Xijing Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Lin Zifu comforted: "Before you are sent away, I will make the prosthetic leg and send it to you, and it is okay to do a small business after you go back, it will definitely be no problem to support your family." ”
He Changqing was very cheerful, and said with a smile: "As long as you can marry a daughter-in-law, everything you say is good, and you don't feel like you can live without a daughter-in-law." ”
As soon as these words fell, the people in the tent laughed again.
Sun Ce brought a bowl of medicine to He Changqing and said: "If you are afraid that you will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, you can buy it, and it won't cost you a few taels of silver to buy a daughter-in-law, and besides, you are all heroes, maybe there will be something good waiting for you in the future." ”
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the Thirteen Princes not far away.
Others don't know some things, but he still knows it, after all, his grandfather is the prime minister, and he will always say something as if he didn't have it.
The thirteen princes are very loved by the emperor, this time the performance is better than the prince, His Royal Highness the prince should have come to the front line to lead the army to kill the enemy, the last time the eighth prince went back to replace the prince, but the prince pretended to be sick and hidden, and the eighth prince had to continue to come to the border.
And the thirteen princes not only came to the border this time, but also deeply loved by the soldiers, plus the emperor has always had the idea of changing the prince, if this is the case, it will be a little thought-provoking, if the emperor changes the prince, the most likely is not the eighth prince, but the thirteenth prince.
The eighth prince is very talented, but the eighth prince does not like court politics, and he does not form gangs in the court, which is very similar to the thirteen princes, but the eighth prince is not a little stronger than the thirteen princes in marching and fighting.
The thirteen princes not far away answered: "I will write to my father tonight to say this matter, I can't let you meritorious men be injured and disabled, and you can't live a good life, although the treasury is tight because of the war, but there is no shortage of silver to settle you, and the families of those dead soldiers will also be well arranged." ”
He also understood why his father had to recuperate in the first place, if it weren't for the truce for more than 20 years, the country would not have been as prosperous as it is today.
Compared with the Xijing Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom, the people of their country are lucky, at least they live a safe life, but this also has to be except for the people at the border.
The people in the barracks were not afraid of the Thirteen Princes, especially the wounded soldiers, who were also bold.
He Changqing looked happy: "This is great, it would be nice if I could be exempted from taxes, my family does not have a few acres of land, and there is not much left after paying taxes every year, otherwise it would not be so poor, the thirteenth prince, don't be angry, what I said is that when the situation is bad, the harvest is not good." ”
It was only when he said that he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
The Thirteenth Prince shook his head, not caring at all: "Why should I be angry? What you said is not a lie, the taxes in the past few years are a bit heavy, I will propose with my father, you soldiers who come to war, can reduce taxes, in fact, the country's prosperity is not war, and it doesn't matter much if you don't collect taxes, but unfortunately, the Great Zhou and Xijing are restless. ”
Lin Zifu said: "In fact, the people are very hard, the conditions are slightly better, they have land, and the grain they grow is still surplus after paying taxes, if they don't have land, they will have little left after paying taxes, and if they live a hard life, the merchants' taxes are much less, which is not fair, it will only make the poorer people poorer and poorer, and the richer people will become richer." ”
This is a fact, and the Thirteen Princes have it in mind.
It was an era that was very tolerant of merchants, and taxes were almost none, while the taxes of the common people were frighteningly high, which was not fair.
He Changqing clapped his hands again and again: "What Dr. Lin said is too right, these words are too incisive, if I make money in business, I am also willing to pay taxes, every year's taxes are the most life-threatening, when the year is not good, even the taxes may not be enough, I remember that one year after my family paid the taxes, there was not a single grain left, you say sad or not." ”
Lin Zifu nodded approvingly: "It's a little sad." ”
"It's not very sad, that year, our family ate bran to get by." As if remembering the unpleasant past, He Changqing lowered his head in a depressed mood.
Lin Zifu kept He Changqing's matter in mind.
After asking Wang Changhe to tell General Lai that she wanted to see the Eighth Prince, she went to the Eighth Prince's tent.
was originally going to be with Ye Beichen, but Ye Beichen was a little busy, and in the end she was the only one who came.
There were many people guarding outside the tent of the Eighth Prince, and General Lai personally came out of the tent to greet Lin Zifu.
In his heart, he was convinced of Lin Zifu and Ye Beichen, and even very grateful to the two, he knew very well that if it weren't for Lin Zifu and Ye Beichen, he didn't know how many brothers would die.
General Lai had a smile on his face, he had been in a very good mood with his recent winning streak, although it was a small battle, but he also snatched back a few towns: "What is the matter with Doctor Lin looking for the Eighth Prince?" Did you encounter any difficulties? ”
Lin Zifu nodded and explained: "It's because you need the support of the Eighth Prince when you encounter some things, so let's discuss it by the way, General Lai, are you very busy?" ”
General Lai led the way in front, and said as he walked: "It's been very busy recently, after the last time the Eighth Prince killed the enemy's military doctor, the enemy also tasted the bitter fruit, and there was no detailed ventilation and reporting, and we succeeded in several sneak attacks." ”
"That's a good thing." Lin Zifu answered.
When I entered the tent, I saw that the Eighth Prince was looking at the drawing, which was a map of the distribution of mountain ranges.
The Eighth Prince raised his head and smiled softly at Lin Zifu: "You and Beichen have worked hard recently, and I heard that you have reduced the casualties a lot." ”
Naturally, he also has to pay attention to these things, they are all his brothers.
Lin Zifu was very calm: "I'm a little tired, I said before that I would hand over the rear to us, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, I knew that you were busy, so I spoke directly, the purpose of my coming here is very simple, I want you to help." ”
They can't leave the barracks now, not only to prevent enemy sneak attacks, but also because the wounded here can't do without them.
The Eighth Prince was puzzled: "What do you just have to say?" "It's a rare thing to ask Lin Zifu to come up and help.
And every request made by Lin Zifu was reasonable in his opinion.
Lin Zifu also said politely: "Because of the armor, the most injured soldiers are their legs, I was thinking about doing prosthetics before, and today there was an injured teenager who made me make up my mind, so I want you to send someone outside to cut down trees, and the trees are not very heavy, but they are very tough." ”
