Peace and peace did not come to Xia Pi at night.

The soldiers and civilians who were cleaning up the ruins were holding torches, and were still busy without knowing their hard work.

Relying solely on manual handling, the cleaning of ruins has progressed very slowly.

Lu Bu sat in the study room in the backyard of the government.

A few oil lamps were lit in the room, and the rushing flames dispelled the darkness and covered the not-so-large cottage with dim yellow light.

There were large and small slap bags in the corner behind him.

The mabao is the herb purchased by the guards.

Facing Lu Bu, several ragged civilians stood down.

Looking at them, Lu Bu asked, "You all know medical skills?"

"We all understand the words of the general." The oldest person replied.

The people standing in front of Lu Bu are all doctors from Xia Pi.

Before the Cao army besieged the city, they lived a pretty good life and relied on the treatment of patients to survive. Although they could not be rich, they did not have to worry about food and clothing.

Cao Cao's arrival disrupted their lives.

Everyone is in danger of siege of the city, and the people suffer from headaches and fevers, but they have no intention of treating them.

No one knows whether he can live until tomorrow. Some people who are fragile even hope to die soon, so that they don’t have to live with fear.

If no one treats the disease, the doctor will certainly not have a good life.

"How many days have you not eaten enough?" Lu Bu's eyes swept across everyone's face.

They all have pale faces and thin skin, and you can tell at a glance that they have long-term malnutrition.

"It's been several months." The oldest person who replied: "The Cao army has been besieging the city for a while, and our family has lost food..."

"If I hadn't been to my stalemate in Xia Pi, you wouldn't have suffered so much." Lu Bu said apologetically.

"I dare not blame the general, it's all Cao Cao's bad!" The doctor who replied lowered his head: "The general didn't provoke him, but he ran to Xuzhou to make trouble..."

"That's right, Cao Cao is making trouble." Lu Bu laughed and said to several doctors: "One day, we will go to Xudu to make trouble."

"Come." He shouted outside the door.

The guard walked into the study.

Lu Bu ordered: "Please buy food and ask a few to report it."

When I heard that there was food to eat, several people raised their heads and subconsciously swallowed.

They were so hungry that even if they led a cow over, they would be eaten up.

"There is something very important that you have to do." The eyes swept across everyone's face again, and Lu Bu said: "I have someone made some herbs and planned to make some powder and ointments for rinsing your mouth. But I only know that two or three of the formulas are useful, and ultimately improving it requires people who understand medicine."

"We will do our best to do whatever the general wants us to do." The doctors responded one after another.

After a while, several guards brought the meal.

There is a shortage of food in Xia Pi City, and Lu Bu only ate corn and wild vegetables these days.

It is called wild vegetables, but it is actually just some edible weeds.

Some wild vegetables have rough fibers, which are difficult to chew in their mouths, and some have bitter taste, which is really not easy to swallow.

In front of each doctor, a bowl of wild vegetables and a bowl of yellow corn rice were placed.

Seeing the food, several people subconsciously swallowed their saliva, but none of them dared to pick up the bowl.

"Eat." Lu Bu said: "Let's talk about it when you're full."

Looking at Lu Bu timidly, the few people still didn't dare to serve the bowl.

"Xia Pi has been surrounded for several months, and I eat this every day," Lu Bu said: "If you want to eat meat, you will have everything when you rebuild Xuzhou."

From Lu Bu's tone, he felt that he was sincere and the hungry doctor almost snatched the bowl and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Someone ate quickly and ate all the corn rice, but he still used his tongue to lick the remaining food smell in the bowl.

When they finished eating, Lu Bu asked, "Are you full?"

After being hungry for so long, the stomach capacity has become very small.

Even if he was not full, Lu Bu would not have someone send him food again, so as not to overeat them and make them die of death.

Although he was still unsatisfied, several people dared not say that they were not full in front of Lu Bu.

They all responded with unfulfilled feelings: "I'm already full..."

"Since you're full, it's time to talk about serious things." Lu Bu looked at the mabao in the corner: "My requirements for powders and ointments are very simple. I just hope that they can not only cleanse teeth, but also have a fresh taste after use. The most important thing is that they cannot have bitter taste, but must have a faint sweetness."

What he described was the smell of toothpaste in later generations.

Doctors who don’t know what toothpaste are were confused when they heard it.

"Dare you ask the general, can we take a look at the herbs?" asked the oldest doctor.

"Look at it casually." Lu Bu responded.

Several people walked up to look at the herbs in the mabao and identified the types of herbs. One of the doctors said, "General, I think there are fewer two flavors."

"What are the fewer things?" Lu Bu asked.

"Ment and sugar cane are needed," said the doctor. "The general asked the entrance to be cool and sweet. If it weren't for these two things, it would be difficult to do."

"It's true." Lu Bu nodded and shouted out the door: "Come!"

A guard walked in.

"Find some sugar cane and mint." Lu Bu told the guards: "Remember to make more."

The guard was about to leave, and the oldest doctor said, "General, mint is easy to deal with, but sugar cane is difficult."

"What's wrong with sugarcane?" Lu Bu asked, "Is it possible that the entire Xia Pi cannot be found?"

"Sugarcane was born in Shu and was rarely seen in the Central Plains." The doctor replied: "Even if someone buys it by chance, there will not be too much inventory. After all, there are very few places that can be used."

"Can you use something else to replace it?" Lu Bu asked after hearing that sugarcane was difficult to make.

"The general just wants to get its sweetness?" The doctor did not directly answer.

"It's good to have sweetness," Lu Bu said: "In fact, it doesn't have to be too sweet. Too much sweetness will make people feel tired."

"If you don't need to be too sweet, many herbs can be replaced," the doctor said. "Minn, holly, lilac and the like can also add a sweet taste to powder or paste."

"From today on, you only need to focus on developing formulas and don't worry about anything else." Lu Bu said: "I will ask someone to choose a new place for you, and I will take special care of your family."

His eyes fell on the guards who were still waiting, and Lu Bu ordered: "Find a few big houses to settle them and their families. Then put the herbs into their residence."

The guard took the order and left.

Lu Bu said to several doctors again: "You should know how important the formula is. No matter who it is, no one can be revealed in a word."

His body leaned forward a little, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "If anyone dares to leak the formula, I will understand him very much without saying what he is."

Hearing the threat from his words, several doctors responded quickly: "Don't worry, General, we will never tell anyone!"
