Faced with the pie depicted by Zhuge Jin, Hua Tuo of course chose to accept it all.

Occasionally, one or two cases are treated more slowly, and the impact on Hua Tuo's reputation is limited after all. But if you can add a large piece of content to your life's medical work, it will be brilliant in history.

Which is more important, Hua Tuo knows very well in his heart.

So, the next day, Guangling Taishoufu announced to the outside world: Chen Fujun was seriously ill and needed to be bedridden for a long time.

In order to facilitate the consultation, Chen Deng sent a large mansion to Hua Tuo on the street where the Taishou Mansion is located. The house has several depths, the back is used as a residence, and the front can be changed into a medicine hall and a clinic.

In this way, when Chen Deng didn't need him to see a doctor, Hua Tuo could also take time to see others. As for the expenses of other instruments other than medicinal materials in the clinic and the pharmacy, of course, there are also mysterious financiers to help cover them.

Hua Tuo doesn't love money very much, but he will still accept what others like. Especially the things that Zhuge Jin gave him, many Hua Tuo really liked:

The interior of the clinic is clean at first glance, and the walls are all painted with fine lime mortar. The cloth curtain is also very clean, and the flax fiber gauze used for bandaging can be used as much as you want. There are even a full set of new scalpels made of high-quality steel filling and the latest quenching technology, and various celadon sterilizers.

Even if Hua Tuo is a person who is very indifferent to fame and fortune, it is impossible for him to refuse this kind of good thing that can make his work twice as effective with half the effort.

But don't look at the fanfare of this clinic, in fact, only one of Hua Tuo's apprentices took shifts every day to see the doctor, and when he encountered a very incurable disease, he asked the teacher to help.

The rest of the apprentices, as well as Hua Tuo himself, were busy studying the "Treatise on Qu Tillers" and observing the experiments on fermentation microorganisms.

Zhuge Liang's "Qu Tiller Theory" has a total of more than 20,000 words, and Hua Tuo can read the words and sentences and understand them preliminarily, which can take at least ten days and half a month. Combined with experimental observation, it would be good to be able to basically understand it in a month or two.

In the past two months, Zhuge Jin has also instructed the craftsmen of the porcelain kiln from Yu Zhanglai to build another kiln mouth for burning colored glass, and then test the addition formula. When Hua Tuo finished studying the previous things, it was time to pick up the follow-up experiments that would use glass flasks.

If there is an unexpected delay, then drag it out, and Hua Tuo will not give up easily after investing so many sunk costs. dragged until the edict broke out and Sun Ce responded to Cao Cao, which was more than enough.

And outsiders don't know what Hua Tuo is busy with during this time, seeing that he has lived in Guangling for a long time and doesn't have much time to go to the clinic in person every day, and Chen Deng is really too sick to leave him for a moment.

Within ten days, the news of Chen Deng's serious illness was no secret at all in Guangling, and it spread to the other side of the Yangtze River, and even Sun Ce and Zhou Yu knew about it.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were worried about fraud at first, but they sent a detailed investigation across the river to investigate, and repeatedly confirmed that it was correct, so they were relieved.

Moreover, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also discovered an unexpected surprise: because Chen Deng was seriously ill, it seemed that the frequency of Liu Beijun's naval army patrolling the river on the side of Guangling County had also decreased, and everything had entered a state of immobility.

In contrast, in the area of Wuhu County, Danyang County, which is also on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Guan Yu's navy has recently become more and more heavily guarded, and all kinds of bluffs have patrolled back and forth on the Yangtze River to make their presence felt.

All this is in Zhou Yu's eyes, although it is incomprehensible for the time being, but it also gives Zhou Yu a preconceived impression.

……

It took a few days to get Hua Tuo and his party done, and also arranged the repair of the glass kiln and the arrangement of the "Pasteur bacteria experiment".

Zhuge Jin can finally return to his original work rhythm and continue his inspection trip to Guangling.

It was the second day of the second month of February, and the dragon raised its head. It is almost the day when everything recovers and spring ploughing is about to begin.

Zhuge Jin adjusted the order of work, and spent seven or eight days to personally inspect the results of the polder renovation and Sheyangze dredging work in Guangling County last winter. By the way, he also personally supervised the work of spring plowing and persuading farmers, so that all counties paid special attention to the spring ploughing of the newcomers.

Guangling County had a population of only 400,000 the year before last, but when Yuan Shu was destroyed last year, more than 100,000 displaced people from the upper reaches of the Huai River flowed in.

Later, when Cao Cao destroyed Lü Bu, more than 200,000 people flowed out from the two counties of Pengcheng and Langya, as well as the five counties of Donghai County located west of Yishui, of which Xiapi and Donghai undertook more than half, but Guangling also undertook nearly 100,000.

Therefore, the population of Guangling County has swelled to nearly 700,000, which is 50% more than two years ago!

With the rapid increase in population, the demand for arable land is naturally huge, Guangling County is located in the northern Jiangsu Plain in later generations, and there is certainly no shortage of flat land suitable for farming, the key is that there are too many swamps in floods. Therefore, even if we take advantage of the winter slack every year, organize work-for-work relief to repair polders, and dredge irrigation facilities, they still cannot keep up with the inflow of population.

Zhuge Jin estimated that this kind of day of high-intensity labor and no rest for the people throughout the year will have to continue for several more years. In particular, since last year, the two counties of Guangling and Donghai have also built salt pans and windmills in the coastal areas to increase the production capacity and grinding of sea salt.

However, considering that the current tax ratio under Liu Bei's rule is not high, and the fishing and salt industries are also very developed, although the people are hard, they can at least eat enough and do more work to endure it.

In the case of Zhuge Jin being on the front line, officials at all levels did not dare to cheat and slack.

In addition, there are also leaders like Chen Qun, who are practical in internal affairs, Jiang Ji and Hu Zhen are in charge of the agricultural affairs of Guangling and Donghai two counties, and manage them impartially, and everything is in good order, and there is no need to repeat it.

……

Time came to the middle of February in a blink of an eye, counting the days, Xu Du's side, in fact, Dong Cheng and Lu Bu had been cold for ten days.

But because of the speed of message transmission and Cao Cao's deliberate blockade, even Liu Bei in Jiangxia didn't know about the death of Dong Cheng and Lu Bu, let alone Zhuge Jin, who was still in Guangling.

After Zhuge Jin was busy with other daily inspection work, there was only one last acceptance left in Guangling County - to Mizhu and Tai Shici to learn about the progress of the development of the Liaodong route that began in late autumn last year.

Let's see how many war horses Mi Zhu bought back by sea from Liaodong, how the other goods used to trade war horses are sold, and whether there is a need to develop new barter chips.

The reason why this inspection was put at the end was also because it was necessary to make a special trip to Qu County and Haixi, two coastal port counties.

Zhuge Jin only took a boat down the Huai River and entered the sea from Haixi County after completing all the inspection work in Guangling and Huaiyin. Chen Deng did not accompany him, only Mi Zhu and Tai Shici accompanied him.

Zhuge Jin had the impression that he seemed to have had a lot of intersections with Mi Zhu only three and a half years ago, when he first voted for Liu Bei when Huaiyin City was in danger.

At that time, the two were escorted by Zhang Fei and fled to Haixi County to organize reserve forces, helping Liu Bei overcome the difficulties of counterattacking Guangling and solving the death situation of being attacked by Ji Ling and Liu Xun.

But since then, Mi Zhu has lost the opportunity to become the first minister by Liu Bei's side because of the change of history and Liu Bei's lack of his money ability to survive.

Even if two years later, his sister Mi Zhen still gave Liu Bei a concubine, but her status was far lower than that of the same period in history, after all, it was not a charcoal in the snow.

Zhuge Jin also had little intersection with Mi Zhu in the next two years, afraid that his status would obviously surpass the other party and embarrass the other party. It wasn't until last year that the status of the Zhuge brothers was so transcendent that no one could shake it, and Mi Zhu also found his new position, and the relationship between everyone became harmonious and natural again.

Last year, Zhuge Jin carried out a lot of industrial and commercial construction projects in Donghai and Guangling counties.

the construction of new salt pans along hundreds of miles of beaches on the north and south banks of the Huai River estuary;

a large number of new windmills and government-run flour grinding workshops;

Zhuge Liang's qu tiller experiment also made new progress in the wine-making and vinegar-making technology of Guangling and Donghai counties.

Mi Zhu took out a high contract fee, engaged in a lot of wine, vinegar, flour and salt business as an official business, and continued to use money to feed back and expand the shipbuilding industry, helping to strengthen the strength of the navy, and doing a good job.

In just two years, Mi Zhu's family business has doubled, and sure enough, it is still easy to do business with the blessing of scientific and technological productivity.

In this era, there is no "patent law", and there is no need to give money to learn other people's technology in theory, but Mi Zhu is still on the road, he knows that all businesses that use the technology of the Zhuge brothers will at least draw out 30% of the net profits to the Zhuge brothers as dividends. The exact amount of the draw depends on the difficulty assessment of the technology used.

It is impossible for Zhuge Jin to check Mi Zhu's accounts, everything is a gentleman's agreement.

The relationship between the two was harmonious, and the inspection work went smoothly.

After coming to Haixi County, Mi Zhu first took Zhuge Jin to inspect his newly built horse farm.

There is a large area of wasteland near the coast, where it is impossible to grow food because of the salinity, and can only grow some salt-tolerant weeds.

Mi Zhu said: "There were originally only wild grasses and shrubs here, but since last year, when I was preparing to cross the sea to buy horses, I asked people to choose some grass species suitable for horses to eat in advance, and burned the original wild grass while it was dry in autumn, and sprinkled with new grass seeds.

Growing grass does not require manpower to take care of it, as long as it is allowed to reproduce on its own. Now the growth is not good enough, and in the summer, the Liaodong war horses that were bought can almost be stocked, and there is no need to feed the cut feed.

It took two months for Ziyi to open up the route last year, and so far, we have only had time to run twice, and we have just bought back nearly 1,000 Liaodong horses, of which there are only more than 600 qualified war horses, and the others can only be used as horse packers after screening.

But the key is that the route is opened, and in the future, there will be a continuous trade in energy, and we can buy thousands of horses every year, as long as we can get enough goods that Gongsun Du wants, there is no need to worry about the capacity of sea ships, and the big ships I have accumulated in recent years are enough to maintain the trade in Liaodong. ”

Zhuge Jin looked at the newly built pasture, and the grass was just rising wildly, and he also felt a little lacking. How can war horses eat grass enough.

However, it seems that the main horse fodder of later generations, such as alfalfa, was not grown in coastal saline lands, and those were all products of the north. It is indeed more difficult to raise horses, cattle and sheep on a large scale in the south.

Zhuge Jin casually searched for the materials in his mind about the forced station masters he had seen in later generations, and vaguely remembered that in the program of watching Huanong Brothers and Director Ao, there were several episodes about the feed for raising grass-fed livestock in the south. One of these two is from Shu and the other is from southern Gansu, and their methods should be quite suitable for the south.

Zhuge Jin secretly thought in his heart: "I remember that Director Ao seems to have inspected a substitute for alfalfa from the Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which is an improved variety from plantain or banana, which does not produce bananas much, but the biomass content of the stalks is relatively high, and cattle and horses are easy to absorb."

With the weight of banana stems, it is said that it is a herbaceous plant, which can grow as thick as a tree, and if the 'trunk' can be digested by cattle and horses, the nutrients must be very sufficient, but unfortunately the starch cellulose content in the stems of today's natural banana plantain varieties may not be high.

After two years, I went to the southern tropics, looking for wild banana and banana varieties, introducing and improving them, and doing experiments. If there are many nutrients in the stalks, cattle and horses will be raised, and if the horses do not eat, they will raise cattle, and if they can produce bananas, they will be eaten, and they will not be wasted anyway.

At present, there are no banana plants, so it is better to let people plant some beans in multiple rounds on the pasture to fix nitrogen and improve the soil. ”

After straightening out his thinking, Zhuge Jin taught Mi Zhu: "At present, it is no problem to plant grass first, but after the expansion of the saline-alkali horse farm in the follow-up, see if there is a less saline-alkali degree, even if the rice and wheat can't live, the beans are not as picky as the rice and wheat, and it is good to be able to sow coarse seeds to survive, and I don't want to collect many beans, at least the fertile field, and the beans can be directly raised with seedlings and shells." ”

Mi Zhu felt that it was very reasonable, and wrote down Zhuge Jin's opinion, and prepared to expand the experiment according to this method in the next season.

Zhuge Jin clicked and was not idle, so he asked Tai Shici, who was accompanying him, to help him bring a few Liaodong horses over, and each horse rode up to run a few laps, try the feeling, and also experience the difference between the characteristics of the Liaodong war horse and the other origin war horses that Liu Beijun was used to.

Zhuge Jin has adapted to it in the past few years, his equestrian skills have been very good, and archery has also been practiced well as a fitness sport, but his melee martial arts are still equal to zero. After a few laps, he felt that the sprint power of the Liaodong horse may not be strong, but it can still be used for riding and shooting and fighting.

If you really want to sprint for excitement, you still have to be a Western Cool Horse or a Western Regions Horse.

And Mi Zhu on the side, also took advantage of Zhuge Jin's horseback riding experience to continue to introduce his business in depth:

"Although the scale of the transaction in these two months is not large, the harvest is not small. Yuan Tan of Qingzhou has always been friendly with the lord, and last autumn, Yuan Long secretly contacted Yuan Tan to send troops to Langya in accordance with the will of the lord, and snatched four counties of Zangba from Cao Cao.

Yuan Tan was grateful to us, and in the month of last year, he promised to lease Donglai County, located in Muping County (now Yantai), the northernmost part of the Shandong Peninsula, to our army for management. Namuping County is directly opposite the Salmon Islands, which is a good port, and with this transit port city, our trade supply is becoming smoother, and we can save a lot of ships to carry valuable goods.

This is also thanks to Ziyi, when the channel was opened for the first time, he patrolled several times, chasing and killing several remnants of the Shamen pirates with hundreds of people. ”

Guan Cheng, the big leader of the Qingzhou pirates, was killed by Zhao Yun when Zhuge Liang went to Hebei two years ago. But Zhao Yun didn't have time to go to Shamen Island to kill the remaining thieves, so he stayed until now.

This time, Tai Shici wanted to ensure the safety of the maritime trade, and of course he couldn't let go of the thieves who happened to be in the way. Those who are willing to surrender as sailors will be reformed and recharged, and those who refuse will be killed directly.

After Zhuge Jin heard about it, he cast a appreciative look at Tai Shici: "Ziyi does things cleanly. ”

Tai Shici: "The general praises falsely, some trivial things, why worry about it." ”

Zhuge Jin asked Mi Zhu again: "Then what are the main goods you use to buy horses?" According to the original plan, he used a sea ship to exchange war horses with Gongsun Du? ”

Mi Zhu: "I am not willing to use a new sea ship, and I am also afraid that after the technology of the new sea ship is leaked, Gongsun Du will be big, and it will be difficult to restrain it in the future." Therefore, try to trade with celadon, steel and other things.

But celadon is expensive after all, and non-dignitaries can't buy it. Now this thing has just come out, it can be sold in large quantities, and it is scrambling for it, and after a year and a half, the nobles who should have celadon in Liaodong have used it, and it is not easy to sell. I'm still figuring out new hot stuff. ”

When Zhuge Jin heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "Why do you have to worry that Gongsun Du will be difficult to restrain merely Gongsun Du?" As long as we have better ships in the future, are we still afraid that his grandson will have a corner of the land?

I asked you to trade with them with new sea ships, and there was another consideration, which was to induce Gongsun Du to pacify the belt and even Sanhan further south after the limited and directional technology was leaked! ”
