Chapter 22 The Scattered Expedition and the Hundred Treasure Pills
As mentioned last time, it was the time of the Chinese New Year, Chinese New Year's Eve, and Liu Hou greeted the civil and military officials to have a reunion dinner. As a result of the victory, the whole New Year was spent in joy and peace, and the New Year's greetings, return visits, and banquets among officials continued until the 15th of the year. After the Lantern Festival, the county guards of each county took office one after another.
The documents approved by the imperial court arrived before the Chinese New Year, and Liu Hou divided the Nanzhong region into 6 counties and the list of county guards was approved by the imperial court, and it seems that Liu Bei still gave his precious son a lot of face.
So, Li Hui, Lu Kai, Ma Zhong, and Zhang Yi said goodbye to Liu Hou and went to their own territory one after another. As for Fu Shiren and Mi Fang, God knows when they will come here to take office.
The county guards each took 5,000 soldiers and horses. These soldiers and horses are basically cold weapon troops, and most of them are barbarian soldiers captured in the early stage. The firearms unit has always been held in Liu Hou's hands, and it will never be taken lightly.
The Nanzhong region has just been subdued, and the sporadic rebellions have never stopped, and they can't go to office without soldiers and horses. Liu Hou gave them 5,000 each, and asked them to recruit another 5,000 by themselves to make up 10,000. There are 10,000 horses in a county, which is already a lot, and I believe they will be able to control the situation.
When these county guards returned, they had to implement the policy of treating all the people equally, and they first notified all the villages and caves under their rule, registered all the population, and sent the list to the government for the record. In this way, these people will be regarded as the people under the rule of the Han Dynasty in the future.
Then, they had to start collecting taxes, conscription, and military service, and the obligations of these Han Chinese were no less. Don't want to? That's very good, the official is worried that there is no excuse to move you. If that tribe dares to disobey the orders of the government, immediately send out a large army to sweep these villages clean, leaving no chickens and dogs behind.
Of course, the so-called chickens and dogs do not stay is not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and those who resist will naturally be killed, and those who do not resist will be arrested regardless of men, women, and children, and the officers and soldiers will not kill people indiscriminately, because the population is already equivalent to silver taels in their eyes, and they will not stop if they don't do it, who wants to click off their own silver taels with a knife?
The Peach Blossom Mine is still waiting for miners, and the price of 2 taels of silver for the young and strong, and 1 tael of silver for the rest of the people, is enough to make the officials and officers go crazy and red-eyed.
People are worried that there is no excuse to make money from these human traffickings, and you dare to give such a good excuse to others, and it would be foolish for them not to seize the opportunity to get rich immediately.
For a time, all counties, counties, townships and villages, the smoke of gunpowder was billowing out, the soldiers shouted to kill, and the old and young people cried for their fathers and mothers.
What followed was a steady stream of Yi people who were sent to the mining area with their hands tied with straw ropes and began their glorious life as miners.
Of course, the government does not fail to do things when it collects taxes, and the first thing it does is to divide the land. The government re-measured some ownerless fields, or organized people to reclaim new fields and distribute them to the Yi people for cultivation. There are also graduates of the Agricultural Research Institute and many old farmers from Guanzhong and Yizhou who have been invited to teach these Yi people to farm, and even farm tools and cattle are rented to them for use.
At first, those who refused to go out of the mountains and forests to plough the fields, but if they did not come out, they were also told that they would have to pay taxes, and if they did not pay taxes, they would be arrested. Later, they realized that if they did not come out to plow the fields, it would be difficult for them to pay the taxes by hunting and gathering alone, so some Yi people had to come out and try to cultivate.
With the first one, there was a second, and gradually, the number of Yi people who came out of the mountains and forests gradually increased, and those who did not come out were either arrested and taken to mine, or they hid in the depths of the mountains and forests, so that the army of the imperial court could not find them.
The government not only divided the land, taught farming, rented farm tools, but also built bridges, paved roads, and established schools and hospitals.
The people were surprised to find that the government-run school could allow their children to go to school, which was undoubtedly an atomic bomb. The school that has always been only accessible to large Han families will be able to go to school, when will even the children of ordinary people be able to go to school? Not only the Han people, but even foreign barbarians like them can read? Is this a dream? Or is it a conspiracy of the Han Chinese?
In that case, can your own children be officials in the future? Many Yi people were originally reluctant to go out of the mountains and forests to farm, so they rushed to let their babies go to school, and they came out with gritted teeth. In order for your baby to have a good future, what is it to work hard and be wronged?
In addition to the academy that attracts them, the hospital is another thing that attracts them. In the past, when they were sick, they were solved by the sorcerer of the clan jumping gods or grabbing two handfuls of herbs, and they could survive minor illnesses, but they could only resign themselves to fate when they encountered serious illnesses.
Now there is a people's hospital that treats people for free, and people wonder if they are dreaming? I've never heard of such a good thing. It wasn't until a Yiren took a little girl with a high fever to the people's hospital at night to seek medical treatment, and finally the cured thing spread ten, and ten spread among the villages, and the name of the people's hospital began to be accepted by the local people.
Gradually, there were more and more familiar people (Yi people who were incorporated), and there were fewer and fewer sheng fans (Yi people who were not indoctrinated and hated the Han Chinese), and they were far away in the mountains and forests, and it was difficult to see people.
In the second half of the war, the situation in the Nanzhong region gradually stabilized, and Liu Hou believed that if these policies were implemented, decades later, the Nanzhong region would be no different from the Han people.
On this day, Liu Hou was handling political affairs in the government office, and his subordinates informed Hua Tuo that he was coming. Liu Hou immediately asked people to invite him in. I saw an old man with crane hair and a childish face and fairy wind and bones striding into the lobby. Over the years, Hua Tuo has become more and more energetic, and people in their 70s are still energetic and full of energy.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, have you really found the Sanqi you said?" As soon as Hua Tuo people came in, they just bowed their hands and said hello, and they didn't say polite words, let alone pay a big salute. This is Liu Hou's special permission, and the deans of various research institutes, the sacrificial wine of various schools, and even some capable researchers of research institutes do not have to salute when they see him.
"Doctor Hua, you're finally here, quick, serve tea." Liu Hou instructed Hua Tuo to serve tea left and right.
"What kind of tea do you want to drink, take me to see Sanqi first." Hua Tuo didn't give Liu Hou face at all.
It turned out that after Liu Hou arrived in the Nanzhong area, he kept asking people to look for the flavor of Panax notoginseng. He knew that the main medicine of Yunnan Baiyao in later generations was Tian Qi, how could he let go of such a good healing medicine, so he told the military doctor about some characteristics of Tian Qi, and asked them to ask the local natives where there was this medicine.
The hard work paid off, and after more than half a year of searching, I finally found Sanqi. When they placed a bunch of conical-shaped or spindle-shaped tubers with intermittent longitudinal wrinkles and root marks in front of Liu Hou, Liu Hou immediately recognized that this was the Tian Qi that later generations had seen.
And Hua Tuo heard that he had found Sanqi even more simply, so he immediately put down everything at hand and ran over to see what was going on.
Liu Hou had no choice but to order someone to bring Sanqi up to Hua Tuo to see. Hua Tuo picked up these gray-brown or gray-yellow tubers, studied them carefully, and even bit off a small piece with his mouth and chewed it. Seeing Liu Houzhi's cold sweat, could it be that the ancients tested medicine like this? It's all a bad habit left by Shennong after tasting a hundred herbs, fortunately this is not a poison, or how many Hua Tuo will not die enough.
After a long time, Hua Tuo said: "This time the prince went on the expedition, and Zhang Ji'er's march was in the limelight. How can old decay make him specialize in beauty. Lao Yu has also recently developed a kind of Baibaodan, which has the effects of removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, invigorating blood and relieving pain, detoxification and swelling. It couldn't be better for healing in the army. If you really have the miraculous effect you said, add it to my Baibao Pill, and you will definitely be able to make a healing elixir. ”
Before Liu Hou set out for Nanzhong, he considered that the weather in Nanzhong was hot, and it was summer, and there were rumors of miasma and plague in many places, Liu Hou was worried that there would be a large number of non-combat attrition, so Liu Hou asked Zhang Zhongjing to find a way.
Zhang Zhongjing configures out a kind of medicinal powder, which is used: one penny each for Western bezoar, musk, pearl, borneol, borax, Mingxiong Huang Feijing eight coins, saltpeter refined for three points, Feijin twenty pages and other eight flavors of Chinese medicinal materials, respectively, ground into extremely fine powder, and then mixed together and ground evenly, sealed with a porcelain bottle, sealed with wax.
When using, three to five minutes (0.3~0.9 grams) per serving, adjust it with cool boiled water, or pit your eyes and twitch your nose. The effect is to dispel heat, open the body, dispel filth, detoxify, and treat swelling in the summer month.
After several months of trial in Liu Hou's army, the results were outstanding, and Liu Hou's troops were reduced by a lot of non-combat attrition caused by heat stroke and miasma. For this reason, Liu Hou performed Zhang Zhongjing greatly, and now Hua Tuo couldn't sit still, and he competed with Zhang Zhongjing.
He is good at the field of surgery, and he can't compete with Zhang Zhongjing in the field of internal medicine, but someone is always injured in a war, and the doctor who is most needed in a war is a surgeon rather than an internist, so Hua Tuo has a place to play.
Of course, he was not satisfied with being a military doctor and treating the wounded one by one, so he also worked on developing a gold sore medicine that could be used in most cases. After more than half a year of research and development, he improved it into this kind of Baibaodan on the basis of the original formula of gold sore medicine, and he was already very proud, but occasionally, he heard Zuo Ci mention that there is a medicinal herb in Yunnan that disperses stasis and stops bleeding, and has a better effect on reducing swelling and pain than his Baibaodan.
So after questioning Zuo Ci, he learned that it was the medicinal material found in the prince's conquest of the south, and he immediately wrote to Liu Hou to ask for this miracle medicine. Liu Hou could only push the tide on the one hand, and send people to step up the search on the other. As a result, I searched for more than half a year to find this medicine. As soon as he found Sanqi, Liu Hou wrote to Hua Tuo, but he didn't expect Hua Tuo to set off to Zhuti County to see him without delay.
"Rest assured, you won't be disappointed by the healing effects of this thing." Liu Houdao. Hua Tuo was not verbose, and after taking the medicine, he went down to dispense the medicine and find the wounded to test the medicine. Liu Hou, who was harmed, wanted to pick him up and wash the dust, but he said that he was not available.
Liu Hou originally wanted to intercept him and tell him that the formal process of drug testing should be done first as an animal, and then as a real clinical practice. However, before he could say anything, Hua Tuo ran away without a trace, so he had to give up, thinking about it, this is not a poison anyway, it has been proven to be a safe and harmless thing by later generations, let him go.
