Chapter 37: The Difficulties of the Red Marquis

Liu Zhengchen's spirit is still so nervous, as long as he does not leave the Jiangdu country.

She thought that she had not left Liu Jian's palm, and Liu Jian left an indelible shadow in her heart.

With so few people to rely on, she felt like a pathetic and pathetic person.

Liu Zhengchen and Jiang Cheng left the border of Jiangdu before dark, and she completely relaxed.

Speaking of the Honghou Country, the people of the Honghou Country picked up some snails in the shallow water area by the river.

Liu Zhang wants to make spicy snails, and let Chen Yun and them taste the deliciousness of snail meat.

In order to be safe to eat, the snails should be cooked thoroughly to completely kill the parasites in the snails.

Liu Zhang called Liu Sheng and her mother over for dinner, and the mother and daughter always remembered Liu Zhang's kindness.

These days I sewed clothes for him and made a few pairs of shoes for him.

Liu Sheng took the opportunity of dinner to bring the finished clothes and shoes to Liu Zhang and them.

"This is the clothes and shoes that my aunt and I spent a few days sewing, and that's what we have on our mind."

Liu Zhang and they are not short of clothes and shoes, which is indeed something that their mother and daughter can handle.

This is also a way for them to express their kindness, and they also know that kindness is not endless.

"There's a new pair of shoes, can I try them later?" If it's a little smaller, I'll take it back and change it. ”

Chen Yun had a gentle smile on her face, and Liu Sheng also gave her shoes.

Of course she likes it, Liu Sheng is ingenious.

"I've seen your shoe size, it should be a good fit."

Liu Sheng observed the size of Chen Yun's shoes during this time, and she handed the package to Chen Yun.

Chen Yun took the package and felt heavy.

"The snail meat is ready, and the big ones are directly picked out and fried. The small snails are tailed, and everyone is snaking together. ”

In this era, there are no crayfish, otherwise you can make a pot of spicy crayfish.

I received a lot of green shrimp today, and the shrimp meat is indeed very fat.

Tonight's meal was indeed sumptuous, and everyone sat together and ate happily.

Chen Yun and Xu Xuan sat on Liu Zhang's left and right, and everyone had dinner freely.

Just try not to talk when eating, which is also the rule when eating.

Sometimes you can have a feast and talk with people, and this is to exchange information.

Usually at family banquets, you can't talk when eating, this is the rule set by the ancestors.

Everyone happily finished dinner and chatted for a while.

Then they each went back to their rooms to rest, and Liu Sheng gave Liu Zhang and the three of them a sachet before leaving.

This was a part of her heart, and Liu Zhang and they happily accepted the sachet.

Chen Yun and Xu Xuan slept in the same bed again, and the relationship between the two of them deepened.

It was another good night's sleep, and Liu Zhang was happy to see the two of them get along in harmony.

Early the next morning, Liu Zhang and the others got up to wash.

Since crossing over, they have to eat breakfast, and the people of Honghou Mansion have also changed to three meals a day.

After breakfast, Gongsun Du sent someone to invite Liu Zhang to talk.

Chen Yun and Xu Mian did not follow, and Li Dan followed him out of the Honghou Mansion.

Gongsun Du and Li Dang were waiting for them on the northern border of the Honghou Kingdom to come over, because they wanted to talk to him about taking out medicine to treat the people.

Liu Zhang came to Gongsun Du and guessed his purpose.

"Gongsun Yushi can have breakfast." Liu Zhang greeted Gongsun Du.

"I didn't have breakfast, and it's not time for dinner."

Gongsun Du also understood what he meant, and most people in the Han Dynasty were used to having two meals a day.

"Gongsun Yushi didn't have breakfast, I just brought some breakfast, and I invited Gongsun Yushi to taste it."

Liu Zhang brought soup dumplings, egg drop soup, tofu brain, and fried dough sticks, and also prepared breakfast for the people around Gongsun Du.

Liu Zhang knew that they were not in the habit of eating breakfast, and the guards he brought opened the food box.

A burst of aroma wafted in the face, and breakfast was steaming.

"Breakfast is hot, please try it."

Gongsun Du smelled the aroma and couldn't help but want to taste it.

"You're welcome, it's a simple breakfast."

Liu Zhang prepared enough breakfast to ensure that they were satisfied.

Li Dan handed a plate of soup dumplings to Gongsun Du, and the soup dumplings were still steaming.

Gongsun Du took the plate, and his eyes fell on the porcelain plate.

"It doesn't look like pottery, it doesn't look like gold, silver and copper, it doesn't look like jade."

"This is a kind of clay firing vessel, which is called porcelain, and all kinds of exquisite patterns can be painted on the porcelain."

Gongsun Du looked at the porcelain carefully, and the surface of the porcelain was very smooth.

"If Gongsun Yushi likes it, I'll give you a few."

Gongsun Du saw that this porcelain was as shiny as jade, if there was a better one.

It can be dedicated to the emperor, and he will definitely like it.

"I'll surprise you a little before you leave, and I won't say anything here."

Liu Zhang would have people match their horses with saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes to make them more comfortable to ride.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there were only unilateral stirrups, which were only used to assist the horse.

If you fight on horseback, it won't do much.

"What a surprise?"

Li Dare listened to Liu Zhang say so mysteriously, what he gave them must have been very useful.

"I'll tell you when I get back, and it will help the cavalry in battle."

Liu Zhang smiled mysteriously, it is really inconvenient to say here.

If the three-piece set of war horses is equipped in the Han army, it will have an extra advantage in fighting against the Xiongnu.

The three-piece set of war horses is easy to imitate, as long as the technology is strictly prohibited.

Delaying the time of technology outflow can crush the Xiongnu to a certain extent.

Some people in the distance looked at Liu Zhang's side, they were the people of the surrounding counties.

Some of their relatives and friends are sick, and only the medicine in Liu Zhang's hand can cure them.

They had been here for several days, and Liu Zhang had someone pass a message to them.

When they said that he had no medicine to cure the disease, they were skeptical.

Someone must have offended him that made him unwilling to help them.

"They are people from the surrounding counties of Pei County, and there are also people from other counties."

"The counties are not messing around, and the surrounding counties have epidemics, and they do not strictly control them."

Liu Zhang was a little annoyed, didn't this add chaos to the Honghou Kingdom.

If some people are still allowed to come, they are not afraid of being held accountable by their superiors.

"The situation in the counties is not optimistic, and only you can help them. I invited you here to discuss this matter with you. ”

"They gathered around the Red Marquis, and they were instructed by men."

Liu Zhang was even more annoyed, he was right.

They were seduced by local aristocrats and wealthy merchants to kidnap him morally.

"The people are suffering from sickness, and I ask you to be considerate of their difficulties."

"Gongsun Yushi, don't blame me for speaking badly. I understand their difficulties, who will understand my difficulties. When the Red Marquis encountered difficulties, did the surrounding counties come to help us? ”

At that time, those wealthy merchants and aristocrats refused very simply, because they did not want to lose their interests.

Gongsun Du felt that what Liu Zhang said was not unreasonable, the so-called one side is in trouble, and all sides support.

Those aristocrats and wealthy businessmen are selfish, and they are far from it.

It is that the four marquis states of Yicheng, Quyang, Ping'a, and Dangtu near the Red Marquis did not come to help.

They are indeed selfish, when there is an earthquake in the country of Honghou, and there is a spread of epidemics.

Honghou took measures in the shortest possible time to minimize the losses.

The county government and the county government need to go through the process, which takes a certain amount of time.

"The county government and the counties have to report and take measures more slowly, and they are afraid of being held accountable."

Gongsun Du hopes that Liu Zhang can understand, and also hopes that he can be more lenient.

"Your Excellency, those people are innocent. Just be kind and help them. ”

Li Kang also pleaded with Liu Zhang for the sick people, and he also hated those nobles and wealthy merchants for being ruthless and selfish.

"If I say I don't have any medicine, most people won't believe me. You can search the Red Marquis's Mansion. If I find a cure for an epidemic, I will help them. ”

No matter how carefully they searched, they couldn't find a box of medicine in full packaging.

Of course, the Chinese medicinal materials stored in the Honghou Mansion are not counted.

"Some guards and slaves of the Honghou Mansion have leftover medicines in their hands, and the medicines in the medicinal herb warehouse cannot cure the epidemic."

Gongsun Du felt that Liu Zhang must have a formula in his hands, and he wanted to take this opportunity to obtain certain benefits.

To make up for their own losses, there is a certain difference between the selfishness of those rich merchants and aristocrats.

"Don't blame me for being selfish. I have my problems. ”

Liu Zhang looked aggrieved, and he asked the rich merchants and nobles to give him an apology.

If they want medicine, they have to come up with a price that satisfies him.

The people of the surrounding counties, he will help, but he can't help in vain.

"Before the envoy departed, His Majesty had a few words. Eliminate the spread of the epidemic in various counties as soon as possible, and hope that Honghou will focus on the overall situation and not care about personal gains and losses. ”

Gongsun Du had no choice but to say what Liu Che had explained, and he could also understand Liu Zhang's difficulties.
