Zhang Zhongjing's family was originally a large family with a population of more than 200 people. In less than ten years since the first year of Jian 'an, two-thirds of the people had died of epidemic diseases, and seven-tenths of them had died of typhoid fever.
Because of this, he hated the corruption of the rulers, who pushed the people into the abyss of suffering. In this regard, Zhang Zhongjing made up his mind to study the diagnosis and treatment of typhoid fever. He must subdue the plague.
Zhang Ji inherited the family. During the reign of Emperor Ling, he was elected as filial and honest by the state and entered the officialdom.
However, after the chaos, he still used his medical skills to relieve the people's illnesses.
At this time, he learned that the emperor had arrived in Xuchang and that a genius named Xu Zhen had solved the problem of food and clothing for millions of people in Yanzhou.
Therefore, he was willing to come and witness it with his own eyes.
Zhang Zhongjing himself did not like being an official or a bureaucrat. In his heart, he had already formed a kind of hatred for bureaucrats. He believed that most officials only knew how to prey on the common people, and that the feudal lords only knew how to fight for power and completely ignored the lives of the common people.
However, when they arrived at the military camp, they immediately felt that it was different.
It was a refreshing feeling.
"Sir, why are you suddenly in the mood to do this epidemic prevention? I've traveled for many years, and I've been to Jizhou, Youzhou, Jingzhou, and Nanyang. All the officials I've seen are people who fight for power and profit. It's rare to see a young man like you who doesn't care about fame and profit but only wants the people's well-being.”
Zhang Zhongjing and Xu Zhen went to the main camp and sat down. After a conversation, they suddenly had a good impression of Xu Zhen.
"Well said, well said..." Xu Zhen felt guilty after being praised. Actually, he wasn't that great. Saving the world and saving the country... He didn't have such thoughts.
The main reason was that he did not want to die. It was not easy for him to enjoy the blessing of having everyone together. His wife and concubines did not even have a good life. If they were infected by the plague, wouldn't they suffer a huge loss?
Now that he had a title, a wife, and more than 400 warriors under him, he naturally had to manage his life well.
After all…he was afraid.
Xu Zhen was really afraid.
Sometimes, he would dream of his life in Maocai Village. He thought that he would just live an ordinary life like this, but because of one trip, the entire village disappeared.
Playmates, kind mothers-in-law, and girls who were close to each other…What a pity.
That kind of life where he became a loner overnight.
Tsk…Xu Zhen collected his thoughts and said with a smile,"
"Teacher first resigned, then traveled, and then came to my logistics camp to take up a post. You can't walk around freely here.”
"Of course. Although there are many brave warriors under your command, there are no medical practitioners for the time being. Now that I have this sachet, I can naturally treat patients and save people. In my opinion, following you is better than fighting for fame and profit under other officials.”
Zhang Zhongjing's words made Xu Zhenwen feel a strong sense of hatred towards officials and peers.
He felt that this guy was an independent young man who had left the world behind. No wonder he didn't leave much of a name in official history. Even so, many of his conclusions were still used in modern times.
What kind of achievement was this?
"Alright, then what do you think of this salary?”
Xu Zhen took out a piece of cloth with the salary written on it.
Zhang Zhongjing held the silk cloth in his hand and was stunned for a moment.
Damn…so rich?
Just selling this silk book could earn him some money.
It was written in elegant handwriting: The monthly salary is 30 taels of silver, 20 feet of silk, 120 bushels of grain, morning and evening, seven days off one day.
After reading these, Zhang Zhongjing was puzzled by these crooked numbers.
"Milord, what do you mean by this?”
Xu Zhen explained, and then the Holy Doctor was shocked.
"What? Silver?"
"Do you think it's too little?"
"No, no, no!"
Zhang Zhongjing quickly stood up and bowed deeply."This is too much, too much!"!”
"Every month? How am I going to spend so much money…how many medicinal herbs can I buy?”
Xu Zhen said softly,"The training content of my supply camp is to carry weights and go into the mountains to pick herbs. The mountain of herbs behind me is specially prepared for them. Sir, you have to be prepared to work from eight to five. You have to go to work at seven in the morning and get off work at five."”
"That won't do! Absolutely not!"
Zhang Zhongjing's eyes were filled with horror. He quickly retreated and bowed deeply, indicating that he would never agree.
Xu Zhen's heart skipped a beat.
Was it too late? As expected…this kind of work style seemed to be unacceptable in any era. It seemed that no one liked it.
"How can I? To be able to enjoy such treatment! This is only the first time I've seen you, and you said I'm the Holy Doctor! I…I feel guilty!"
"Zhongjing will definitely do his best to treat the illness and compile miscellaneous theories so that the people can live and work in peace!! My lord! You are a great man of the world! It was comparable to Confucius and Mencius! I'm impressed! In the future, I will certainly come at Chen Shi, and I will return at Zi Shi! We will advance and retreat together with you!"
After Xu Zhen heard this, he was stunned for a moment and quickly waved his hand.! Don't, don't, don't, come later! Don't bring bad things! Come back when it's almost time!"
Good heavens, I thought you didn't agree! In the end, you took the initiative to ask for overtime! Was this the kind of hardworking worker in ancient times?! Too ruthless!
He was so cruel to himself. No wonder the ancient people did not have long lifespans.
You still want to advance and retreat with me? I won't! I have a wife and a concubine. I will never work overtime!
"Ah?" Zhang Zhongjing was stunned for a moment. He blinked his eyes and revealed a rather bitter expression.
Three days later.
A medical hall was built in front of the supply camp outside Xuchang City.
Xu Zhen announced to all the people and officials in the city that, regardless of wealth or not, everyone had to go to the medical hall to collect medicinal herbs and incense bags, pay three pieces of five baht money, or a bag of grain, or silver.
In short, anything that was valuable in the business world could be exchanged. It was not expensive, and could even be said to be very cheap.
Although there was a poor harvest this autumn, which was twice as much as last year, it was only a reduction in grain reserves. The people still had enough money to start their own businesses.
By late autumn this year, many villages had begun to raise pigs and poultry. Pork was the staple food, and it could be stored in a cool room or marinated to ensure that the meat could be stored for a long time.
In addition, Xu Zhen had opened a farm and a medical center to benefit the people. There was a man named Zhang Zhongjing who had superb medical skills and could cure many difficult and miscellaneous diseases. This person was an extremely famous adult in the south, but he became Xu Zhen's military doctor.
For a time, the entire Xuchang fell into a bustling and prosperous world where Xu Zhen was praised.
Of course, there were also many Confucians who scoffed.
In Xuchang City, among the scholars who came from Runan to seek refuge at the foot of the emperor, most of them were attracted by Xu Zhen's benevolent government, and two of them were the most famous.
Back then, they were the main characters of an important evaluation segment.
Their names are Xu Jing and Xu Shao.
The two of them were surrounded by a lot of learned people. After a long journey, they decided to come to Xuchang. Firstly, they wanted to avoid the world. Secondly, they heard that Xu Zhen was not only a talented man in both civil and military affairs, but also the uncle of the emperor, which was also a relative of the country.
This person had a very good relationship with Cao Cao's family, but he was not as domineering as Cao Cao. He was more easy-going and casual when dealing with people, and did not care about glory and wealth.
Although the monthly reviews were no longer in their heyday, Xu Jing and Xu Shao would still collect information about the world's celebrities to understand the world's affairs.
They had originally planned to seek refuge in the South and seek refuge with Huainan, Donghai, and Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou. However, after hearing the name Xu Zhen, the benevolent government of Yanzhou, and the emperor of Xuchang, they finally decided to give up and go south.
Actually, this…had actually changed the fate of the two brothers.
Xu Jing found a place to stay and met many old friends of Xuchang. Therefore, he decided to continue running the monthly review in a certain courtyard in the inner city.
"This year's evaluation should be changed to the annual evaluation. We seem to have been waiting for a long time.”
"I'll only know how peaceful it is when I get to Yanzhou." Xu Jing and Xu Shao looked at each other and smiled. They stayed in the inner city's courtyard.
Now that Xuchang was expanding, it was not easy to get a place to live. Now that he could get it, he was naturally grateful.
"Tonight is the perfect time to visit Lord Xu. Lord Xu's reputation in Xuchang is probably only second to Cao Cao's.”
"Yes…" Xu Jing and Xu Shao looked quite similar. They were thin and not tall. They had a goatee and a hard beard. Their cheekbones were high and their eye sockets were deep. They looked more rigid.
In the early years, they had dealt with Cao Cao.
At that time, when Cao Cao's status was still relatively low, he had given them many generous gifts and asked for a comment, but he never agreed.
Later, Cao Cao became anxious and threatened him directly.
He reluctantly replied,"Jun Qingping is a traitor and a hero in troubled times.”
Cao Cao was very happy and left.
This comment quickly spread across the entire country.
One had to know that the monthly comments of the two brothers were simply like knives.
No matter who it was, once they commented on it, their value would be a hundred times higher, and it would spread in the secular world as a beautiful story. Therefore, it was famous far and near and flourished for a time.
The so-called is like the dragon's ascension, the so-called is like falling into the abyss.
It was the monthly review of the two people at that time.
Because of their arrival, many scholars also began to pay a visit.
Two or three of them went together to the inner city to see the Xu brothers who had caused such a stir in the city. Liu Bei was among them.
Every word and action of his was followed by guards. These guards were of course personally selected from Cao Cao's camp. They were loyal to him and were directly led by Zhang Liao to protect Liu Bei.
Not only were they guards, but they were also monitoring him.
Liu Bei is also very honest, sealed the imperial uncle, after that, just live in the inner city, close to the hundred officials 'houses, remote mansions, maidservants, but ten or two people, cold and lonely, do not pursue fame and fortune, do not climb to make friends, occasionally idle, when also just planting vegetables.
After hearing that the Xu brothers had arrived, he had decided to pay them a visit, so he was holding a gift in his hand.
However, when he arrived at the manor at night, he realized that the door was already closed.
The two brothers went out and went down
Liu Bei knocked on the door, and a hunchbacked middle-aged servant poked his head out with a joyous smile on his face."Sir, my master is not at home. He has gone to the Land Bureau to visit Sir Xu Zhen."”
"Oh?" Liu Bei's interest was piqued.
"That's right. Perhaps I should pay a visit.”
"Dare I ask, how do I get to the Agriculture Prefecture?”
"General, we know."
The guard behind him cupped his fists and said.
"Good, good." Liu Bei had a warm and humble smile on his face.
"Then please take me there."
