On how to make the big cat sleep obediently [Time Travel]

The news of Xueling Pharmacy Bureau's herb-picking team returning to Taicheng reached Xing'an, the prefecture. When Cang Cao from the Governor's Mansion joined the army, his lord immediately reported the situation to King Kuijun.

"His Royal Highness, the herb-picking team has already left the mountain in two groups. The latter group was delayed for a while due to the heavy snow, but they also arrived in Taicheng safely."

King Kuijun was waiting for the news in the Dudu's Mansion together with Prince Huang Shuyu and two Doctors Jian. Hearing this, he was delighted: "How about it, but all the staff have returned safely?"

Xiaonian felt very relieved when he asked about the personnel first rather than about the harvest. The person he and his cousin rescued was at least a kind lord.

Shi Jian immediately replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, only four of them suffered minor injuries, and all of them have been arranged to recuperate. The doctor can say that they will recover within half a month."

A team of more than 80 people entered the mountain for 20 days, but none of them died... This is simply a miracle for those mountain people who gather medicine or hunt in the snowy ridge to make a living.

Although they have forty government soldiers to protect them, it is still surprising news.

"It was the training and equipment prepared by Little Doctor Jian that played a role," Master Shi added: "During the period, some mountain people were separated from the brigade for ten days, and they were able to return in the end, and it was these that saved their lives. "

The so-called training is actually to invite experienced hunters and government soldiers who are often stationed in dense forests to teach survival skills to the mountain people who want to enter the mountains.

Although all these mountain people have experience in mountain climbing, not everyone knows it well because of their age and experience.

Xiaonian proposed to train in advance and go to the nearby forest for drills, hoping that they could master as much survivability as possible, so as not to lose their lives in vain due to improper preparation.

As for the items prepared for them, in addition to portable rain gear, water bladders, waterproof fire pockets, blankets, knives, food for easy preservation, and fireworks for help.

Although the money spent on preparing these things has exceeded the money spent on finding a mountain dweller again, both the Governor's Mansion and Little Doctor Jian feel that the cost is worth it.

Especially when they received this good news, they became even more convinced that their initial preparations were not in vain.

"We have won the first battle, congratulations!" Seeing Prince Yu's silence as usual, Kuijun Wang took the initiative to say: "This time, the mountain people and government soldiers who went to the mountain to collect medicine, and the officials who prepared for them will all be rewarded."

Master Shi had a smile on his face, and said in his heart: Your Highness is so happy that you haven't heard what you have gained from entering the mountain this time... Wouldn't you be even happier after hearing the news that followed?

He didn't dare to let it go, so he continued to report: "This time I entered the mountain, I found all the more than [-] kinds of medicinal materials that I hoped to find, including several rare medicinal materials. The total is nearly [-] shi."

Hearing this number, not only Xiaonian, but also Prince Yu and Prince Kui were a little surprised.

Xiaonian did the math. At this time, one stone is ten buckets, one bucket is ten liters, one stone is one hundred liters, and weighs about one hundred catties... nearly one hundred and eighty stones, which is eight thousand catties of medicinal materials.

A total of 87 mountain people entered the mountain, plus 50 soldiers accompanying them, making a total of 130 people. To transport the [-] jin of medicinal materials out of the snow ridge, each person had to carry a weight of [-] jin. Mountain roads, let alone the mountain snow when the last group of people left the mountain.

The cost they spent, compared with the value of the medicinal materials they got, is nothing, not worth mentioning at all.

"In this way, it has achieved a lot? Very good, very good!"

Liu Kui was so happy that he was about to say "There is a reward", when he suddenly remembered that he had already said it just now, so he couldn't say it again, so he said to Shi Jian: "This time I went to the mountain, the collection team of the pharmacy has worked hard, next time I will take care of you." Take a break, but don’t slack off completely, and finish the pre-arranged homework as soon as possible, and there are still things to be handed over to them.”

The planting of medicinal materials can only be done in the next spring, but the processing of medicinal materials, which are not affected by the weather, can be carried out now.

It is easy for mountain people to collect medicines, but pharmacists are rare. Up to now, there are only more than 40 pharmacists who can work in Xueling Pharmacy, and four of them went to the mountain with the mountain people this time to help.

But if you want to deal with these medicinal materials, I am afraid it will not be enough.

What Xiaonian means is that the mountain people already have a certain understanding of the various medicinal materials that need to be collected, and they can also learn the skills of processing medicinal materials, so that when several groups of them enter the mountain in turn, the people left behind can also pass through. This is to make a living.

Medicinal materials need to be processed before they are collected and used.

Crude medicines often have soil and other foreign matter attached to them, or have peculiar smell, or are toxic, or are not suitable for preservation due to humidity, etc. Dry and easy to store and transport.

In addition, processing can enhance the curative effect of drugs, change the properties of drugs, and change their state, so that doctors can use drugs according to the actual situation of patients, so processing is a very important process.

In the past, the medicinal materials collected from the Xueling area were in the hands of the local aristocratic families, waiting for a price, and then sent to various places for further processing.

Xiaonian felt that this method was not efficient, and for various reasons, a lot of medicinal materials were consumed on the road, which was really a waste.

Rather than doing this, it is better to process it uniformly, remove impurities and unusable parts, and only take the pure and useful parts to send to various places, which reduces the cost of transportation and the consumption of medicinal materials during transportation.

"This humble job will send a letter to Taicheng, conveying His Highness's instructions to the pharmacy."

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu will go to Taicheng to check the situation of Xueling Pharmacy in person, and you will go with him, and you will tell Gu the details when you come back."

This was something that was discussed before Shi Jian came back. Liu Kui continued to tell him: "This time only a quarter of the recorded mountain people entered the mountain. When spring next year, there will be a larger-scale action. The three Prepare well within a month, don’t be careless.”

Hearing that Prince Yu was going to Taicheng in person, Shi Jian was a little surprised.

——Although Xueling Pharmacy has the participation of Prince Yu's Mansion and can already see an excellent prospect at the moment, it should not alarm His Highness Prince Yu to visit in person.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

……

When Cangcao joined the army, the adults didn't know that Prince Yu was going to Taicheng this time. Apart from accompanying his little doctor to see the situation of the pharmacy, he also had a private matter to attend to.

"After we have seen the Xueling Pharmacy, we will follow the foothills of Xueling Mountain to the southwest to Aershan, and go there to find Hot Spring Ridge."

Xiaonian held the cubs in his arms and explained to them why he wanted to go out.

"Aww ow ow~" "Aww ow~"

Since the little guys heard about frozen pears, they have been full of expectations for it. It finally snowed in Xing'an, and seeing that there is hope for eating frozen pears, they don't want to leave the northern border.

Seeing the little tiger cub acting like a baby in his arms, Xiaonian seemed a little unwilling to go out, so he said: "We still have to celebrate His Highness's birthday, baby, don't you remember?"

The little tiger cub didn't understand the necessary connection between going to Wenquan Ridge and celebrating the "big guy"'s birthday, so he stopped rolling, got up and tilted his head to look at Xiaonian.

Seeing the little guy's pure light blue eyes, Xiaonian was a little embarrassed: he couldn't say that this was the itinerary proposed by His Royal Highness "Shouxing Gong" Prince Yu himself, and he planned to leave everyone and go alone with him.

Xiaonian finally persuaded Liu Yu to take the cubs to Aershan, but it was difficult to tell them the truth—if you were disobedient, you might not be able to go out to play.

Seeing that his brother was in a bit of trouble, the little tiger cub thought for a while, and decided to reluctantly agree to go to Aershan to celebrate the "big guy"'s birthday.

This time they traveled very quickly. It took only two days from Liu Yu's request, to hearing the news from Taicheng and firming up his determination to set off immediately, to preparing and setting off.

When the little tiger cubs reacted, they had already followed the adults into the carriage to Taicheng.

The little guy who hasn't been in a carriage for a while is still very excited. Although the "big guys" are also in the car, they still pester his brother to open the curtain to see the scenery.

"Honey, it's getting cold outside now, and we'll get sick easily when the wind blows." Xiaonian patiently explained to them why they couldn't open the curtains.

Thinking about my brother's illness, he just lay on the bed with his eyes closed and motionless, looking very uncomfortable, the little guy sat back obediently by his lap, and started to play with Xiaonian's hand.

His Royal Highness Prince Yu looked at the hot eyes, but thought that he would soon have special treatment for his birthday, so he temporarily suppressed it, and waited until Aershan settled with his little doctor again.

According to the plan, they arrived in Taicheng first.

After seeing the location of Xueling Pharmacy, which was the former residence of the Tang Mansion, Xiaonian, who had seen the palace and the palace, couldn't help but sigh that the Tang family who once controlled Taicheng was really rich and powerful.

In the best part of the city, there are several courtyards connected to each other. On the surface, each has its own independent door, but in fact it is connected together inside. Although the shape of the building and decoration is not presumptuous, the size of the Tang Mansion is smaller than that of Prince Yu’s Mansion. Not much more.

This is only Liu Xuan's Yue's family, not to mention the Miao family's natal family in Hemu.

It is said that when soldiers of the imperial court ransacked the house in Hemu, they found countless gold, silver and jewels. Coupled with the industries all over the northern border, the Tang family was almost as rich as an enemy.

If Prince Yu knew how much his second concubine took to "subsidize" his natal family, he would probably be very angry.

——Thinking about it now, if they were really asked to support soldiers for decades, the consequences would be disastrous.

It's a good thing they went to Chunhe, otherwise Prince Yu, who didn't intend to get involved in the affairs of the northern border, wouldn't have found out so quickly.

If the emperor of Jizhou knew that the reason why they were able to discover what the Miao family did was originally because Prince Yu wanted to show his little doctor a look at the sea, he might have to re-examine his attitude towards Jian Xiaonian.

……

Prince Yu came to Taicheng in person, and of course received an extremely warm welcome. In addition, the Xueling Pharmacy was proposed by Doctor Jian, so they inspected the pharmacy smoothly.

Several highly respected pharmacists were arranged in the courtyard, and a house was specially built for the mountain people of the collection team to live in.

Although the single-room houses are small in size, they are all single-person rooms with bright and clean windows, and next to the small pond and garden in the mansion, the scenery is excellent.

"This side is the medicine house of Zhixuetang and several pharmacists, the public medicine house and nursery. In order to form a tacit understanding and establish a relationship, the government soldiers who escorted the collection team into the mountain were also fully dispatched. They live on the other side. There is a special Practice in the small school grounds."

The official in charge introduced them respectfully while showing them.

Zhixuetang is the place where daily literature classes are given to mountain people. In addition to recognizing medicinal materials, there is also literacy, so that they can further learn medical science and various processing skills.

Afterwards, they saw the specially built pharmacy hall and the warehouse for storing medicinal materials, and Xiaonian was finally satisfied.

Liu Yu looked at his little doctor's frowning eyes, and knew that he had made a wish, as if his own wish had come true, and he was very happy.

So, after staying in Taicheng for a few days, they set off again, heading for Aershan at the west foot of the middle section of Xing'an Snow Ridge, and successfully arrived at the famous Hot Spring Ridge.
