Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

This sugar water is so expensive!

People like them from poor families may not be able to afford a ounce or two of imported sugar for the rest of their lives.

And those children are even more eager for this sugar water.

Sensible, they didn't cry, and they didn't take the initiative to ask for it. They just kept staring at the bowls with lively eyes and smelled the sweet smell.

It can be seen that these children, even if they are sick adults, are reluctant to drink, and then they all gave it to these children.

But this group of children are really sensible, knowing that this is for the treatment of parents and grandpas.

They basically only took a sip each, and stopped drinking.

Seeing them like this, Li Qiu was also very pleased, and came over to tell them that there were still a lot of ginger syrup.

It is also good for children to drink, just go ahead and drink.

At this moment, a guard came in to report that a doctor named Sun Simiao had brought his two apprentices to see him.

As soon as he heard Sun Simiao, Li Qiu was immediately moved.

The name Medicine King Sun Simiao is no stranger even to many people in later generations.

Therefore, Li Qiu hurriedly ordered someone to lead the way, and went out to meet him himself.

On the other side, Sun Simiao was also greatly surprised when he saw Li Qiu in a Chinese robe personally coming out, and hurriedly brought his two apprentices to pay homage.

"The grass people see the prince."

But he was supported by Li Qiu, and then said to him with great enthusiasm and sincerity: "Master Sun, don't be too polite."

"To tell you the truth, I was worrying about the sickness of this common people, so I heard your name."

"It's really timely rain!"

This Sun Simiao, about 50 to [-] years old, has a friendly complexion and an extraordinary temperament.

Being able to see him, Li Qiu was somewhat excited.

At this time, Sun Simiao also hastily bowed and saluted, "My lord, General, I can't bear the word of a genius doctor like you."

Chapter 165 Grandpa, Look, There Is Meat In This Porridge

After a few more polite words, Li Qiu personally led Sun Simiao, master and apprentice into the Furong Garden.

All the refugees I saw on the road saluted and greeted Li Qiu gratefully.

As for Li Qiu, as usual, he returned the salute earnestly and respectfully before moving on.

Looking at the scene in front of him, and these refugees who were still physically thin and weak, but obviously mentally improved, Sun Simiao also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

"To tell you the truth, the three of us, the master and the apprentice, came to Chang'an for the sake of these tens of thousands of refugees."

"Doctors are benevolent and do not seek to help the world, but they always try their best."

"Unexpectedly, when our master and apprentice arrived here, we heard that these tens of thousands of refugees were collected in the Furong Garden by you, the prince, and provided porridge for disaster relief to resist the wind and cold."

"My lord, you broke into the Turkic iron formation alone and rescued the people of Chang'an City and the entire Tang Dynasty. I have heard about it before."

"Now that I see the good deeds of the lord, Sun Simiao, on behalf of the people of the world, bows to the lord!"

Saying that, the three of them, master and apprentice, saluted Li Qiu very respectfully.

At this time, Li Qiu also shook his head and sighed softly.

"Sun Langzhong, when faced with this kind of situation, even I will feel a sense of powerlessness at times."

(Langzhong is a serious official of the fifth grade. In the Tang Dynasty, calling a doctor as a doctor was already a very high title, which is slightly different from the general meaning understood by later generations.)

"My taking in refugees this time is essentially the same as you treating patients. In fact, there is not much difference."

What he said made Sun Simiao faintly puzzled and curious, "I also ask the prince to give me advice."

Li Qiu said with a helpless smile, "You and I are both treating temporary illnesses, which can also be said to be treating the symptoms rather than the root cause."

"It depends on His Majesty and all the officials of the Great Tang that can really cure the world and all the people."

"Only when the world is in great order, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and supplies are abundant, is the real cure for the root cause."

Listening to Li Qiu's words, Sun Simiao was shocked beyond measure.

"It's really unexpected that at your age, my lord, you have such lofty insights."

"I'm really taught."

"Sun Simiao can cure the minor ailments of the refugees right now."

"But to make the country prosperous and the people live in peace, we must rely on the Holy One and the prince."

While speaking, Li Qiu led Sun Simiao to the palaces where the refugees lived.

Afterwards, Sun Simiao picked and felt the pulse of those sick refugees.

Then he asked about their illnesses, tasted the ginger syrup in their bowls, and looked at the cauldron Li Qiu used to boil the ginger syrup.

In the end, Sun Simiao looked at Li Qiu in surprise, "Could it be that the prince is also proficient in medical skills?"

"Most of the refugees here are suffering from wind-cold symptoms."

"My lord, you boiled this ginger syrup for them. Although it can't cure them, it is definitely very effective."

"Look, those who drank hot ginger syrup, the obvious symptoms were relieved a lot."

Li Qiu smiled wryly and waved his hands, "I don't know any medical skills."

"I just guessed that these people are hungry and displaced, and it is difficult to have shelter against the cold wind at night."

"That's why I used the earth method to help them drive away the cold."

Having said that, Li Qiu sighed again.

"Sun Langzhong, to tell you the truth, there are too many refugees here."

"I have to gather all my human, material and financial resources to help them survive this winter and next spring and summer."

"It is really impossible to hire those doctors in Chang'an City for them one by one."

"Now that you are here, I will thank you and the two disciples to prescribe a prescription for the current situation, and treat as many people as possible."

After listening to Li Qiu's words, Sun Simiao bowed and saluted, "Don't worry, my lord, Sun Simiao will definitely do his best!"

Next, Sun Simiao took the pulse of some typical patients in detail, and then prescribed a prescription.

The above are some Chinese medicines that are large in quantity, cheap, easy to find, but very effective and symptomatic.

The method of taking the medicine is also similar to ginger syrup, which is boiled in a large pot.

Then, while it was hot, let the patient take it, one bowl for adults, half of it for children, so as to drive away the wind and cold in the body and achieve the effect of curing diseases.

When the servants and guards of the Furong Garden went to the city to buy medicines, they heard that the medicines were paid by the great general Li Qiu himself to treat tens of thousands of refugees.

The doctors and shopkeepers of the pharmacy were also shocked.

Either sell these medicinal materials to the Furong Garden at a loss, or simply follow the doctor and herbs in the shop to the Furong Garden.

For this refugee, they have to do their bit together with General Li Qiu.

At this time, they also brought back a piece of news.

That is, the temperature around Chang'an City dropped sharply last night, and some snowflakes fell.

Even within Chang'an City, many beggars froze to death on the streets.

After knowing this matter, these guards and doctors also expressed emotion one after another.

Fortunately, General Li Qiu brought these refugees into the mansion earlier.

Otherwise, I am afraid that thousands of people will freeze to death in the wilderness outside the city in just one night.

After hearing this tragic incident, Li Qiu felt uncomfortable.

There is only one line of poem left: The wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the road is frozen to death.

Then he left directly.

But such a poem is deeply remembered in everyone's heart.

As for those refugees, after hearing that many people froze to death on the streets of Chang'an last night, their gazes towards Li Qiu were also filled with endless, uncomplicated, but extremely sincere and strong feelings.

In the palace, Li Shimin didn't move a mouthful of the food on the table.

At this time, Empress Changsun asked with concern: "Your Majesty, is this food not suitable for your mouth?"

Li Shimin frowned and sighed, "There are tens of thousands of refugees outside this city waiting to be fed."

"How can I eat this!"

"Let the palace prepare the car, and I will go to Furong Garden now!"

Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Shimin suddenly wanted to go to Furong Garden, and Empress Changsun also insisted on accompanying her.

In the Tang Dynasty, most people had two meals a day.

When it was getting dark, the Furong Garden also began to cook the second meal of the day.

Seeing the white porridge made from rice, yellow rice, and brown rice, Li Qiu couldn't help frowning.

Then he directly ordered the servants to put the scraps of meat, bones, various vegetables and leaves, and refined salt left in the kitchen into the porridge.

After adding these bones, minced meat, refined salt, and a lot of vegetables.

The porridge cooked in this big pot immediately released its aroma.

Afterwards, the porridge was served in the bowls of these refugees.

"Mother, this porridge is delicious!" A little boy said happily in a naive voice.

"Grandpa, look, there is meat in this porridge."

"I actually ate meat!"

"Grandpa, I'll eat it for you." A little girl happily held up the meat in her hand and showed it to her grandfather.

Although the flesh in her hand is just such a pitiful tiny sliver.

For today's meaty and delicious porridge, the children are extremely happy and excited.

But the adults at this time had mixed feelings in their hearts, coping and comforting their children.

"Well, if it's delicious, eat more, there's still in my mother's bowl after eating."

"Niuniu, it's really meat."

"But grandpa won't eat it, and leave us Niuniu to eat more..."

Children are always so innocent and don't understand anything.

But these refugees, how could they not know the value of these porridges.

And contained in this porridge, General Li Qiu's friendship to them.

These people, regardless of men and women, or old men with gray hair and beard, couldn't help crying while eating porridge with a bowl.

The big teardrops in their eyes couldn't help it no matter what, and rolled down into the porridge bowls in their hands.

I saw some comments and wanted to say a few words.The great chivalrous ones serve the country and the people.I hope that each of us can become a hero who works hard for the country and the nation like Zhong Nanshan and Li Lanjuan.

A real warrior, don't you just say that you are teaching me how to do things?Instead, use your maturity to accommodate those around you who care about you and love you

Chapter 166 Who do you say is a beast?

After seeing the mother, grandfather and elders around him like this, these children also asked questions in unison.

"Mother/Grandpa, why are you all crying?"

At this time, these people said to them very seriously: "My child, you must remember the taste of this bowl of porridge today."

"Then in this life, no matter when and where, don't forget today."

"Prince Li Qiu's kindness to our whole family, we may not be able to finish it in this life, but we must not forget it..."

Because of the non-stop busy all day, there is no time to rest.

At this time, Li Qiu, Luo Kexin, Wu Jue, A Ke, and too many people were already starving and tired.
