After waking up in the morning, boiling water to wash up, and eating a simple breakfast, Li Ang asked Chai Cuiqiao to take care of his home, while he took five hundred coins and headed to the east of the city.
The gap of one hundred and nine guan is not a small amount. It is definitely not possible to save it within 20 days to open a medical clinic normally, so other methods must be used.
For example, reveal the list.
Li Ang walked through the flow of cars and horses and came to the other side of the Zhenzhou Bridge, where he stood in front of a wooden sign that was one person tall and one foot wide.
On the notice board, there are neatly arranged pieces of yellow paper. The specifications of each paper are mostly similar. The reward information is written on the top, and the detailed description is in the middle. The bottom is the reward person, the reward expiration time, the reward reward, the contact person and
address, etc.
This notice board was set up by the Zhenzhou government, and was usually guarded by the government officials in turns. Those who could post rewards on it were all government departments, or high-status scholars, wealthy businessmen, or guilds.
Those bounties issued in the name of individuals were posted on a smaller wooden noticeboard next to them. The contents ranged from recruiting experienced boatmen, selling tiger skins, to selling fruits, candies, pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Li Ang had already visited yesterday. He stood in front of the wooden notice board and took a step without hesitation. He reached for the highest piece of yellow paper on the notice board and pulled it off.
The diners who were having breakfast at the Qiaotou food stall cast curious glances and whispered to each other.
"Is that the reward posted by the Zhenzhou Shepherd Superintendent?"
"Yes, it is said that one hundred army horses are sick and suffer from eye problems. They are offering a reward of one hundred dollars for a cure. They have been hanging on the bridge for more than half a month. This is the second time someone dares to uncover it. He is still a young man.
Lang."
"The second time? Then someone also exposed it last time?"
"The person who was listed last time was a wandering doctor who came from out of town. He cooked more than ten pots of medicine and failed to cure a single army horse. Instead, he killed two horses. The angry pastor almost broke his legs..."
As the diners were chatting quietly, the two government servants who were having breakfast there also heard the noise and turned to look at the wooden sign on the other side of the road.
Li Ang was standing under the notice board, holding the reward list in his hand and looking calm.
The two government officials looked at each other, took out a few copper coins, threw them on the food stall table, and walked towards Li Ang.
The older Yamen servant cupped his hand and said, "I wonder if the young man is..."
Li Ang raised his hands and said, "I am Li Ang, the doctor from the Baotang Pharmacy across the river."
"Security Hall?"
The younger yamen officials had a puzzled look on their faces, while the older yamen servants were a little surprised. They seemed to have heard the name of Baoan Tang, "Is Li Hanquan your father?"
Li Ang nodded, "It's my father."
The young government officer asked: "Brother Wang, do you know him?"
"No, it's just that my brother went there to grab medicine."
The yamen officer surnamed Wang waved his hand, frowned and looked at Li Ang carefully, "Young man, you can't just joke about unveiling the list. If you don't get the job done, it's okay. If you screw up the job, you might even get a lawsuit."
"Thank you, Wang Yamen, for your kindness, but I am confident. Those with severe eye disease and severe pain are mostly syndromes; those with mild pain are mostly deficiency syndromes.
For example, if the pain in the eyes is unbearable, combined with a red face and eyes, a bitter taste in the mouth, and irritability and irritability, it is caused by inflammation of the liver-fire;
Eyes that are red, swollen and painful, and often suffer from blurred vision and eyesight are symptoms of ascending wind-heat evil, which are mostly flaming eyes or red eyes caused by heavenly motion;
If the eyes are slightly red, slightly painful, come on and off, and feel dry, it is mostly caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire."
Li Ang said calmly: "It's the same with humans, and it's the same with horses. As long as I see the symptoms, I can prescribe the right medicine. Please lead the way."
"this..."
The young yamen officer had a hesitant look on his face, while the older yamen officer groaned, looked at the determined expression on Li Ang's face, said nothing more, and turned around to lead the way under the curious eyes of the onlookers.
The Department of Animal Husbandry and Supervision is located in the south of Zhenzhou City, not too far away, and the three of them arrived soon.
Li Ang and the young yamen servant were waiting outside the Animal Husbandry and Supervision Department. The old yamen servant went in to report, only to hear a surprised voice coming from the courtyard wall, "The man is here? Where is he?"
Tap tap tap.
The sound of footsteps came from far away, and a fat man wearing a dark blue official uniform, with red eyes, messy hair, and red blisters at the corners of his mouth hurriedly stepped out of the threshold.
"Xun Jian Cheng."
The elderly government servant who trotted up from behind bowed his hand to the Minister of Agriculture and Supervision of Zhenzhou and introduced Li Ang: "This is Li Ang, the pharmacist of Baoan Tang who was unveiled."
"You? Pharmacist?"
Xun Jiancheng was still looking at the door. Hearing the words of the yamen servant, he turned to look at Li Ang who was holding a yellow paper and offering a reward under the threshold. A trace of surprise first flashed in his eyes, and soon the shock turned into anger, "How can I find someone?"
Children come over?
It’s over, it’s over, this time it’s really over…”
He sighed and leaned against the door frame, showing no bearing of an official of the eighth rank.
War horses are an important strategic resource of the Yu State. In order to obtain a sufficient number of war horses, the Yu State established a pastoral supervision system. In some state capitals, based on local conditions, three levels of pastoral supervisors, upper, middle and lower, were set up to raise war horses and herd horses.
, pack horses, and even cattle, sheep, mules, donkeys and other livestock.
The level of animal husbandry supervision departments in various places is only related to local pasture conditions, climate conditions and other factors, and has nothing to do with the level of the state capital.
After the academy improved war horse breeds and optimized horse-raising strategies, the animal husbandry scale of various local animal husbandry supervisory departments increased. For example, the Zhenzhou Animal Husbandry Supervision Department raised nearly 1,300 war horses that could be used in war, as well as a larger number.
mare, stallion.
Most of these horses are kept in a pasture six miles south of Zhenzhou City. A month ago, the shepherd officer in charge there reported that eye diseases had spread among the horses. More than a hundred war horses had red eyes and constant tears, resulting in less food and bad temper.
He was so violent that he even injured several shepherds and group leaders who were responsible for raising horses.
It would be okay if only a hundred or so war horses were infected. With the help of the academy, the animal husbandry departments in various places have already had sufficient response strategies for various circulating diseases in horses. The infected war horses are isolated and do not come into contact with other horses.
Considering the total number of horses in the Zhenzhou Animal Husbandry Supervision Department's 1,300 horses, a hundred dead horses are still within the acceptable range - at most, they would be rated as "lower than average" in the annual assessment.
What really killed Inspector Xun was the fifteen precious stallions among the one hundred diseased war horses.
Those were the noble relatives of a few parents who bought it from Zhou Guohua in the south of Yu State with a lot of money and temporarily fostered it in the Department of Animal Husbandry and Supervision of Zhenzhou!
Each one is worth hundreds or even thousands of coins!
If these valuable horses died of eye diseases in the Husbandry Supervision Department of Zhezhou, then the fate of Xun Jiancheng can be imagined.
Xun Jiancheng thought about his tragic future of being demoted and transferred. He leaned against the door frame and kept shaking his head and sighing.
Li Ang, who was waiting impatiently, cupped his hands and said, "Prince Xun, I wonder where the sick horse is? I have to see it first before I can say whether it can be cured."
"It's inside, Wang Yamen, please take him to see it."
Xun Jiancheng still looked depressed. He waved his hand and asked Li Ang to go in and take a look.
