Royal road

Chapter 42

On the open space outside the main house, there was a hissing sound.Several healthy horses were carrying the riders on the horse, galloping back and forth in the small empty field, and there were shouts from time to time.

"Clamp your legs and lean forward! Don't sit too dead, move your waist up and down with the horse's pace! The rein in your hand is already held by me, don't be too loose, and don't hold it too tightly !"

Following these words, the dust was flying, and the sound of hooves was intertwined. It was even more chaotic than the school ground next to it.

Standing outside the courtyard gate, Liang Feng saw such a scene.Ten newly selected cavalrymen are learning horsemanship under Yiyan's command.These people are all veterans who have fought in battle, most of them are Jie people, and there are a few farmers.But except for Yiyan's movements which can be called composure, the others all look like they are lying on the horse's back, which is somewhat ridiculous.

As if he had spotted his figure, Yiyan pulled the rein and urged the horse to gallop this way.The speed of the horse was faster than expected, and it just rushed to the side in an instant, but the fast horse did not hit anyone, Yi Yan held the rein in his hand, and the horse changed from a gallop to a slow pace with two clicks. The dust didn't stir up much, and it stopped steadily on the side of the road.

Yi Yan got off his horse and walked up to Liang Feng with the radiant gray horse: "My lord!"

"What kind of horse is this? So obedient!" Liang Feng stood aside, looking at the horse in front of him with great interest.

When he went out to play with his buddies in his previous life, he had ridden a few times, but they were all the obedient gelding horses in the club.Not to mention kicking, he seldom even barks.This is the first time I have seen such a spirited horse.

"They are all Xiongnu horses. They are cold-resistant, eat less, and although they are not fast in charging, they have strong feet." Yi Yanzhan stroked the horse's mane, looking quite satisfied.

Hun horse?Is it a kind of Mongolian horse?

"I said this horse looks a little short." Liang Feng endured for a long time, and finally couldn't help stretching out his hand, and touched the horse's neck.

The horse was brushed white and shiny, its mane was like satin, and its neck muscles were tight and firm, with oil and sweat slightly oozing, like fine steel wrapped in silk.Being touched by a stranger like this, it wasn't startled. It casually sniffed Liang Feng's wide cuffs, turned its head and snorted loudly as if it had been choked.

"Haha, this horse looks pretty good, can I ride it?" Liang Feng immediately regained his energy and asked with great interest.

"No." Yi Yan answered very simply, "Riding a horse requires strength from the waist and legs, and my lord is weak, so it is not suitable for riding a horse."

Tsk!After being poured over with cold water, Liang Feng also lost his temper.I know my own condition well. Although after a long period of recuperation, I finally have no withdrawal reaction, but my body is still weak, and my head is full of sweat after walking on flat ground for a while, let alone riding a horse.

Reluctantly withdrew his hand, he looked at the saddle bridle on the horse's back, and frowned: "Is it easy to control the horse with these?"

Because the cavalry was formed temporarily, there was no time to match a suitable saddle.The few existing saddles were seized from bandits, they were dilapidated, and looked quite different from the saddles of later generations.The stirrup is not iron, but a piece of hard wood.No wonder Yiyan said that riding a horse requires strength in the waist and legs. With this thing, the riding skills must be quite superb to control the horse, right?

"Okay. I used to be able to ride without a saddle when I was at home." Yi Yan replied easily, "Others trained for ten days and a half, and they got used to it."

Just as he was speaking, there was an exclamation in the field, and someone fell off the horse.Liang Feng took a step forward: "Someone has fallen!"

"The horse is not fast, and if you fall, you will lose your memory." Yi Yan said calmly without turning his head.

Seeing the man getting up from the ground in a state of embarrassment, Liang Feng felt relieved, and couldn't help expressing deep sympathy for these reserve cavalry.There is such an instructor, but they will accept it.But I am also poor now, and I am afraid that I have more than enough energy to get a full set of equipment.

The new troops added in this episode are not only the ten cavalry in front of me, but also ten sword and shield soldiers, five archers, and weapons must be ready to fight.Iron armor is definitely gone, but if leather armor can be done, it needs to be done.In addition to the thirty pikemen who are still training, just thinking about Liang Feng feels like a pain in the liver.The little surplus from selling coarse porcelain is really a drop in the bucket.

Sighing lightly, Liang Feng said: "Let them practice first. The horseshoes may take some time to finish. First use the horses in the house to try the effect. If they are easy to use, then consider equipping the horses. However, the ground of these cavalry Don't be negligent in the drills, you have to let them get on the horses so that they can charge into battle, and then they can meet the enemy below."

"Well, I selected them carefully, my lord, don't worry." As if thinking of something, Yi Yan said again: "My lord, on the way back this time, we encountered two groups of sentries."

"Oh?" Liang Feng cheered up immediately, "Is it the bandits nearby?"

"It should be." Yiyan's eyes burst into murderous intent, "When the recruits are finished training, they should be taken out for training. Let the gang of thieves know the name of the 'Brave Battalion'!"

Looking at Yiyan's murderous look, Liang Feng smiled: "That's right, it's time to pay off the bandits."

Letting the recruits see their blood is one aspect, and on the other hand, it is the most important thing right now.Inquire about the situation of nearby forces and clear out a sufficiently safe business route.Now Liang Mansion's food storage is still stretched, and it may not be able to last until the autumn harvest.I'm afraid I have to buy another batch of grain and fodder before the price of wheat rises.If the recruits are useful, they can go to Jinyang to buy food, which can save a lot of money.

It just depends on whether Jinyang can control the epidemic as soon as possible.



"No no! Cloth towels can't be worn backwards! Only one side up! Everyone put on your sackcloth, and don't take it off even if it's hot! Wash your hands with hot water at least three times a day... This is, this is the will of the Buddha! "

Jiang Da's throat was almost hoarse, and he couldn't help but moved the Buddha out again.No, these precautions still have to be taught by the monks. One sentence from them is more effective than saying it a hundred times.

The medical dormitory is ready to be built, but there are still many problems.The people who came to serve the patients did not understand the importance of epidemic prevention at all.It would be fatal if these people were infected with the disease and ran around in the medical dormitory!It seems that I need to talk to the host again and ask him to send more monks.With the monks' precepts and deeds, these foolish men and women will not cause any trouble.

There are also those doctors assigned by the governor's office, which are not so easy to use.Either it was perfunctory, or the medical skills were worrisome. Now the Jiang family is still the mainstay in the medical office.But there are so many patients, and my grandfather is already exhausted and sick. If this continues, what should I do?

Frustrated with worry, the servants outside suddenly reported, "Jiang Langjun, a letter from Liang's residence!"

"Give it to me quickly!" Letters from Liang's mansion were always delivered to the clinic immediately, and Jiang Da couldn't wait for the messenger to come in, so he snatched the letter and opened it for a closer look.

After a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth and strode towards the backyard.

There are a lot of medicinal materials piled up in the backyard, and many doctors gather here to brew medicine.Physician Jiang was leaning over the table, looking at the prescription in hand, drawing something with a pen from time to time.

"Grandfather!" Jiang Da's eyes were hot when he saw his grandfather with white beard and hair testing prescriptions while sick, and he walked up quickly.

"Da'er, did something happen in the front yard?" Imperial Physician Jiang asked hastily.He also knows how busy the medical office is now, and it must be a big deal for Jiang Da to rush over in person.

"It's Zixi's letter." Without further ado, Jiang Da handed the letter to Imperial Physician Jiang.

Now Doctor Jiang has come to his senses. Looking carefully at Zhan Xin, his brows furrowed in just a moment: "Let the doctors write down the cases they have handled and compile them into a book?"

This is simply impossible.How could these medical workers assigned by the governor's office obediently write down their experience in seeing a doctor?Each family has its own untold secrets, who would be willing to reveal their roots in front of their peers!

Jiang Da said, "I think this is a feasible method! Nowadays, most of the people sent to the medical office are mediocre. Doctor Zhang from Qixian County, Zhong's father and son from Yangyi, and Gu's from Leping. Not a famous doctor from generation to generation? If they are willing to send people to Jinyang to exchange medical skills together, they will not be much more useful than these medical workers?! I just want to invite them, I am afraid it will cost some money..."

Physician Jiang immediately understood what Jiang Da meant.This is to let their Jiang family set an example and disclose some secret recipes first, so as to attract more famous doctors.However, this matter is related to the lifeblood of the Jiang family, and it is not Jiang Daneng's decision at all.

Seeing the solemn expression on his grandfather's face, Jiang Da's lips moved: "Maybe if you tell them about the epidemic prevention, you can..."

Physician Jiang shook his head: "These things will spread sooner or later. If you want to attract Zhong and Gu's family to Jinyang, you only have the experience of typhoid fever left by the master."

The Jiang family learned from Wang Xi's school. Wang Xi was originally a famous doctor. He was appointed by the imperial physician and re-edited the book "Treatise on Febrile Diseases".His understanding of typhoid fever is naturally incomparable to ordinary people.If there is this as a guide, those famous doctors will come to Jinyang to see whatever they say!

"But these involve the Jiang family..." Jiang Da was also conflicted.He had heard Liang Zixi bring up the seminar more than once, but was it so easy to give up because of the difference in family?If one is not good, I am afraid that even the Jiang family will be involved.

Physician Jiang shook his head slowly: "Treatise fever is not a disease of one family, but concerns everyone's life. When Zhang Zhongjing wrote "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", he wanted it to last forever. My teacher re-edited "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", it is also the same. It's the same reason. If you cherish your broom because of the difference in family, you will be ignoring the wishes of your ancestors! Da'er, medical skills can be refined for generations, but the heart of saving people is the essence of a doctor!"

Jiang Da had heard these countless times from his grandfather, but never once was it so shocking.He nodded heavily: "My child knows!"

"Yeah. Zixi's method is a good idea. I'll write a letter to a few old friends. If they can come to Jinyang, the prevention and control of the epidemic will be more sure. You have to pay close attention to the matter of the medical dormitory. Those monks Talent is the key. We must let them know the essentials of epidemic prevention and teach them to the common people. For helpers and laborers, don’t talk about medical principles, just mention Buddha!”

This was exactly what Jiang Da was thinking, he immediately said: "I will explain clearly to the management below, besides the Buddha, let more people know Liang Zixi's name!"

Whether it is the Buddha's dream or the foundation of epidemic prevention, Liang Feng's painstaking efforts are indispensable. How can those monks take all the credit?

"So good!"

After just a short chat, Jiang Da felt his whole body full of strength again. After a hasty salute, he strode towards the front yard.Looking at the straight figure, Doctor Jiang couldn't help nodding his head slightly.The one who can inherit the mantle of the Jiang family is probably none other than this son.This time, it was a blessing in disguise.

Looking away, Doctor Jiang took out a few sheets of paper from the side and began to write a letter.Soon, several letters were delivered from Jinyang to surrounding counties, and more letters were sent back.Seeing the sincerity of the Jiang family, how many doctors can remain indifferent?More and more frames are flying towards Jinyang Medical Office.
