Farmer’s Blessed Girl

General Guo was preparing for the next expedition, and when he heard the concierge reporting Zhou Man's request to see him, his first instinct was that he would not see it.

But thinking that she just came back from the outside, maybe she really found out the recipe for cowpox. This matter is indeed very important. As the Protector of Anxi, he really needs to be informed, so he suppressed his temper and said. : "Please come in."

Man Bao only came here with Mr. Zhuang Bai Shan, and the others were not very happy to see General Guo's old face.

General Guo picked up the tea and drank a half cup of tea. Hearing Zhou Man's intention, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master Zhou found the recipe?"

Man Baodao: "There is no specific formula, after all, the legendary country of the extreme west is still far away, and the Qiuci area is uneasy, it is difficult for us to pass through, but we also know some steps, so we want to Give it a try."

Man Baodao: "We didn't know everything when we tested the human pox method in Beijing, didn't we try it out? We are also very confident about the cow pox method this time."

She had confidence, but General Guo did not.

How could he let something like smallpox appear in Xizhou?

Once it spreads, the consequences are unimaginable.

So General Guo said with a smile: "Since Lord Zhou is so confident, why don't you go back to the capital and try again? Xizhou is really remote and barren, and many medicinal materials are not available, and after returning to the capital, there are also the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital and Lord Zhou. negotiate together.”

"Although we have confidence, we don't have complete confidence," Man Bao said, "so we want to try it out here. If it doesn't work, we can continue to inquire. Otherwise, if we can't try it out when we return to the capital, do we have to run a thousand miles away? Are you going to the Western Regions?"

General Guo was about to do Tai Chi with a smile on his face. Mr. Zhuang suddenly smiled and said: "General don't need to worry too much. From the businessman you sent to the yard last time, you know that the cowpox method exists. Since it exists, we must be able to test it out. ."

General Guo said, "That's just a legend after all."

"So we can't just go back with a legend," said Mr. Zhuang, "We traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions, and we went through two raids by horse thieves and one attack by Tubo soldiers, and we came here after losing so many soldiers and guards. , If you only get one legend and go back to Beijing, even if Your Majesty doesn’t ask the guilt, I have no face to return to Beijing.”

Mr. Zhuang looked at General Guo implicitly, waiting for his decision.

General Guo pursed his lips. Zhuang Xun said that for this sake, they must get the result here before returning to Beijing. What else can he do?

The mission has a high degree of autonomy, and His Majesty has already planned to come over and ask him to give them the greatest support.

General Guo was unhappy in silence for a long time, and finally had to ask, "What does Master Zhou need?"

Man Bao originally only planned to ask him how many people he wanted to do the test, but after watching the confrontation between Mr. Zhuang and General Guo, she was so blessed that she knew that attitude and softness were not of much use to General Guo, but toughness was more effective. So he smiled and said, "I want a few cows, and I want an open space to build a house for testing. Of course, I also need people who are vaccinated."

Man Bao said: "We also have a precedent, just recruit from prisoners."

General Guo snorted and said: "Most of the prisoners in Xizhou are on the battlefield. If they are recruited voluntarily, I am afraid no one will respond."

Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "Although it's possible to die from vaccinating the pox, but also in the battlefield. If they don't want to, then in addition to being exempted from punishment, they can give more silver taels."

To put it simply, Yin Liang can't even protect them from the palace?

General Guo thought of something and pointedly said: "Master Zhou, I don't know, Anxi is fighting now, and he can't even collect the military expenses. Where can there be so much money to recruit prisoners?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the jade cup in his hand. Legend has it that General Guo, whose military tent was inlaid with gold and jade, would cry poor?

But Bai Shan quickly said: "Adults just help us recruit, we can't do anything like immunity, but we still have some money."

He said: "There are still some silk cloths we brought from the capital, and the quality is not bad. If they are willing, after the event is completed, whether they are alive or dead, I will give them a silk cloth."

"Life, things are naturally delivered to them. If they die, whether they want to be buried with them or send them home, we can do it for you." Bai Shan said, "I will definitely prepare thick coffins for them."

General Guo choked. Ordinary people might think that Bai Shan was cursing or swearing, but General Guo knew that for these prisoners, this was really an obsession.

Many prisoners exiled here want to be buried in the ground, but who will prepare coffins for them?

It’s okay to die in prison. Anyway, I can dig a pit and swept it with a piece of grass and bury it. If I die on the battlefield, those who have time to collect the corpses will be buried in the big pit with everyone. wolf.

General Guo rubbed his forehead, nodded and said: "The three of you go back first, I'll let someone arrange the arrangement, and we'll talk about it when the arrangement is in place."

Naturally, this kind of trivial matter would not be handled by General Guo himself. He recruited an official from the Protectorate and handed it over to him.

The other party secretly asked if he wanted to delay it for a while?

General Guo thought about it, and shook his head after a while, "Forget it, let's do it for them as soon as possible."

He felt that he might not be compatible with them. Since they appeared, he had not felt very comfortable. At this time, their food and grass still needed to be provided by the Ministry of Housing, and it was not appropriate to fight with Liu Huan.

Moreover, he is an elder after all, and he always cares about a junior. There are already bad reviews outside. He really doesn't want to always fall into the hands of the Liu family's grandparents, so forget it, finish things as soon as possible, and send people away as soon as possible.

At this time, General Guo didn't know that Zhou Man and the others wanted to stay here and wait for General Ashina to return together, otherwise he would definitely take back today's advice.

By the time he knew, they were already on their way to the expedition, and it would be too troublesome to send someone back to tell the officials of the Protectorate, so the matter was put aside.

Of course, they don't know these full treasures.

At this time, they had just walked out of the Protectorate's Mansion. After walking a distance, Man Bao said, "It turns out that he eats hard and not soft."

Mr. Zhuang felt that she was too naughty, patted her on the back of the head and said, "Don't be ridiculous, General Guo is the commander, how can you talk like this?"

Man Bao shrank his neck, but when they were discussing yesterday, did Mr.

Right on the stomach, two horses ran towards them. The people on the horses were stunned when they saw them, then ran over, said hello and smiled, "Master Zhou and Young Master Bai are back? Is everything going well on the road?"

It was General Guo and General Meng. They had a good impression of Man Bao and Bai Shan, so they greeted them with a smile, "It's going well, where did the two generals come from?"

General Guo Xiao smiled and said, "We just came back from the military training camp."
