Title: Gunpowder Sold Out

Summary: He is now straight from the horse, not a soldier, and commands hundreds of people.

I lived in Shen Lingbin's courtyard for fifteen days, and I took Wei Yan to eat all the delicacies in Lizhou City.When he was taking him to eat mochi in the alley, the diners next to him said: "Shen Jiedu established himself as the king according to Lizhou, and the country name is 'Sheng', why didn't he change the year name?" Another person said: "Now the Mao Dynasty separates the states. It's a mess, we still use Yongxi to save trouble in our hearts, Shen Jiedu probably knows that he can't change it by force." The first person said: "Call Your Majesty." The other person said: "Ah, Your Majesty." Wei Yan finished his bowl The mochi was as white as snow, soft as cotton, and said: "Not sticky." I touched his head again: "Yeah. Mochi is made of glutinous rice, a specialty of Lizhou. The rice grains are thick and short, so they are not sticky. Eat more It’s not going up either.” Wei Yan said, “Master, eat?” I said, “I’m full, you can eat.” He held up the empty bowl and said to the shopkeeper, “One more bowl.” The shopkeeper gave him more, He put his head down and continued eating.

On the morning of December 27th of the first year of Yongxu, a servant came to report: "A man named Zhang Zhengdao came to find Dr. Li." Wei Yan and I went out.A man in his 20s was waiting beside the carriage, with a small tear mole under his left eye.Zhang Zhengdao asked: "Doctor Li?" I said: "Yes, this one next to me is Wei Yan chivalrous man." Zhang Zhengdao said: "I have received an order from Your Majesty to help Dr. Li. I am the oldest man in Lizhou." The No. 16 successor of the medical center Jishitang, but has not yet been taught. Currently, six counties with epidemics have sent two doctors and four patients to each. His Majesty ordered that Jishitang be used as a temporary lecture and consultation for Dr. Li. Doctor Li, come with me." Wei Yan and I got into the carriage and went to Jishitang.

Twelve doctors were waiting at the door, all holding paper and pens.I went in with them one by one, and the doctors followed behind me, Wei Yan, and Zhang Zhengdao.Jishi Hall is a large place, with eight consultation tables, rice paper on the table, and charcoal fires at the four corners.The four patients were lying on the consultation bed, all awake, their limbs twitching.I bent down to take the pulse, the pulses were deep and counted, the first two pulses were deep and thin and counted, and the pulses of the last two were large and counted.Seeing that the lips were parched, I said, "Open your mouth." The tongues of the four patients turned red.I asked: "Two of you, both of you, look over a patient. Is there a rash on the patient's back?"

The eight doctors standing in front squatted down next to the patient in pairs, and untied the patient's thick winter jacket.The person closest to me was about 51 and [-], and he promised me, "Yes, it's densely packed." I asked, "Is the doctor in charge? I see you are the oldest." He said, "Yes." There is a disease Sufferer suddenly "wow", and spit a pool of blood on the ground.The two doctors escaped.

I knelt down and asked him, "Do you feel hot and want to drink water, have a headache like an axe, and often retch?" He nodded weakly and said to me: "Exactly." Zhengdao said: "Borrow a pen." He took out a pen from his waist and handed it to me. I wrote the prescription and said to the doctors: "Shenglin eight years ago, my master and I treated the epidemic in Lizhou. It is the same kind of disease." , but it is much lighter than that time. You can rest assured. This epidemic is caused by the evil qi of the epidemic invading the viscera and expelling the muscle surface, causing both qi and blood to burn. The master prescribes Qingwenbaidu Decoction, which mainly uses Baihu Decoction, Xijiao Dihuang Decoction, and Huanglian Jiedu Decoction." I recalled the medical theory and said, "If you have hematemesis, you should use raw gypsum to clear the stomach heat. The stomach is the sea of ​​water and valleys. , the qi and blood of the twelve meridians are all reported to the stomach, so the heat of the stomach is cleared, and the fire of the twelve meridians will disappear by itself."

A doctor at the bottom replied: "The twelve meridians are all used to vent fire." I said: "Yes." Someone said: "In my county, some don't have macules, and some have macules. How does it change?"

As I wrote down, I read: "If there is a macule, increase the green leaves, and add a little cohosh." Someone asked: "Is there a patient in my county who has constipation?" I said: "Add rhubarb." Someone asked. Ask: "If you are thirsty, do you only add gypsum?" I said: "Gypsum and trichosanthin." Someone asked: "My county has a lot of chest and diaphragm depression, should I add Chuanlian, Citrus aurantium, Platycodon grandiflorum, Gualou cream, Licorice?" I said, "There is raw plaster, so there is no need to add licorice. But it doesn't matter if you add it."

They all nodded, and Zhang Zhengdao said: "Doctor Li is worthy of being a closed disciple of Imperial Physician Wang, who can memorize all medicinal materials and medical principles."I said: "For those who are not infected with the disease, the flood has just passed, and the water must be boiled to drink." The leading doctor said: "We asked the county guard to post a notice to warn the people. When we go back this time, there are still some serious illnesses, can you?" Send Lizhou City to Dr. Li to have a look? His Majesty promised earlier, but said that he didn’t know if Dr. Li was in a hurry to return to Chang’an.”

I had no choice but to say: "There is no rush to return. If Jishitang agrees, we can open a free clinic. You can send in any difficult and miscellaneous diseases in the city." I also want to write medical books.Zhang Zhengdao said: "I agree, I will ask His Majesty to escort you the medicinal materials again." The medicinal materials are not posted.

The leading doctor said: "Then let's go back to the counties first." He took the patients away and went back.Wei Yan said: "Master, you are also very good." I said: "There is a specialization in martial arts, but I can't do martial arts." "I will," Wei Yan said, "Master, there is no need to know." Zhang Zhengdao said lively: "Li The doctor opened a consultation in our Jishi Hall, so we should set off firecrackers." I said, "No need?" Zhang Zhengdao jumped up and pulled me: "If you want, I will send you." His kindness was hard to stop, and the three of us went to Jishi Don't buy firecrackers.

When I went to the gunpowder shop, the storekeeper said: "The gunpowder in Lizhou City has been sold out recently, and there will be no more in a while." Zhang Zhengdao said, "Is it all sold out?" The storekeeper said, "Yes, it is almost Chinese New Year. I’m called a workshop rusher.” Zhang Zhengdao said: “It’s a strange thing, the gunpowder can still be sold out. Dr. Li and Wei Xiashi didn’t buy firecrackers. May I treat you to dinner? There is a smoked chicken under the rattan bridge. Eat." I said, "Okay, since you are so enthusiastic."

He also took us to eat Fuji Bridge smoked chicken. During the meal, four children were playing under the Fuji Bridge.One tall, one short, one fat and one thin.The long and narrow plank has a shaft in the middle and is supported on the pillars.Gao Tong and Shou Tong sat opposite each other, kicking the ground with their feet in turn, lifting one end and lowering the other end.After repeating this twice, Gao Tong came down and stood on the ground and said, "This round is full, I'll wait for the next round." The fat boy who was waiting aside said, "It's my time, it's my time." The thin boy said, "I don't want to play with you. Once you sit down, I can't afford to lift you up." Climb up to the other end and play with him.

Wei Yan asked: "What is it?" Zhang Zhengdao answered before me: "Seesaw, a toy from Lizhou, children like to play with it." The smoked chicken was served, and the three of us started eating.Zhang Zhengdao said while holding the smoked chicken: "Dr. Li and Wei Xiashi will have dinner with us when they are in Jishitang."

After dinner, I saw patients in Jishitang, and Wei Yan was by my side.I asked him, "Aren't you bored by staying on the sidelines?" He shook his head, "Just watch, Master."

On December 28th of the first year of Yongxu, a cloth donkey cart was parked at the gate.Someone shouted: "Your Majesty's first batch of medicinal materials for Jishitang has arrived." Zhang Zhengdao led the staff in the medical hall to run out and down to the shop.There are two lead escorts on the side of the donkey cart, one of whom I know.The stranger had thick eyebrows and big eyes, about 30 years old.I asked: "Shen Yao, don't you want to be with His Majesty to be a dental soldier?" The stranger looked at me and said, "He is from the horse right now, not a dental soldier. He is in command of hundreds of people. He said he came to escort medicinal materials and visit old friends along the way. I also have leave, so I went out to camp and wander around the city." As expected of Shen Lingbin's own son.I asked, "Then who are you?" Shen Yao said, "His name is Guan Tao. He is the governor of Yamen, with thousands of people. We met in the camp, hit it off very well, and sworn brothers." Guan Tao said, "Let's go." Brother, it’s time to go back to camp after visiting old friends.”

The two of them left, and after I saw a doctor, I took Wei Yan to a tailor to order two new clothes.
