Man Bao and the others settled in separate rooms and took their luggage back to the house. Manager Li then came to report, "Master, Miss Man, the manager of this inn is Mr. Zhang, the brother-in-law of General Meng. It seems that
Several generals and generals in the army have shares here."
Man Bao was curious, "Are they fighting in the ring? With whom? The governor of Shazhou?"
Bai Shanze asked: "Should the inn opposite come first or the inn next door?"
Manager Li was stunned for a moment, obviously not asking this question, so Bai Shan asked him to ask, "Ask again, when did this inn open, and how many years has it been since He Cishi of Shazhou came to Shazhou."
Manager Li responded, went out for a walk and then came back, "Master, there was an inn across the street first, and then there was the Yunlai Inn. The inn has been open for seven years, and Governor He has only been in Shazhou for three years.
"
Bai Shan and others understood that Governor He was an outsider, at least for the next year. It was unclear whose side he would be on.
Yin You yawned and asked them, "Do you want to vent your anger?"
Bai Shan was hesitant, so he went to ask Mr. Zhuang. Mr. Zhuang waved his hand and said: "How can there be such a temper? We are just passing by and will only stay for two days at most. There is no need to enmity with them for such a thing, but this
How can things be made fun of in prehistoric times?"
He took off his shoes and socks to soak his feet, and said to Bai Shan: "Take Manbao's door post and deliver it to the Governor's Mansion. We will visit him tomorrow. After meeting the local official, he asked him to recommend him to General Meng to get the customs clearance documents.
.”
Bai Shan agreed and squatted down to wash and wipe Mr. Zhuang's feet before going out with the foot-washing water.
Mr. Zhuang sighed comfortably and leaned on the bed without moving.
With old arms and legs, it’s really not easy to travel far away.
Man Bao took out the balance of fifty taels of silver and handed it to Dayu, "How many days do you want to stay in Shazhou? I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
The silver was too heavy to be stuffed into his arms, so Heavy Rain carried it with his hands. He said with a smile: "It's hard to stop Dr. Zhou's enthusiasm, so we decided to stay a few more days."
Anyway, she had included food and accommodation, so they could just buy some more things when they went back. Although there were no merchants passing through the town now, they still had to consume some coarse cloth and ceramics locally, and they could make money, but they made a little less.
Man Bao didn't mind being taken advantage of by them, but he just reminded: "We may only stay here for two days."
Heavy Rain is actually a little curious, "Physician Zhou, isn't Shazhou more fun than our town? You have stayed in our town for twenty days, why don't you stay here for a while longer?"
Man Bao said seriously: "Am I the kind of person who has fun? There are many medicinal herbs in your town that I have never seen before. I went to see the medicinal herbs in person."
Heavy Rain pouted, who are you kidding? In the twenty days in their town, he had only seen her eating fish, eating gerbils, even scorpions in the desert, and poisonous round thorns. He didn't think it was for this.
You look at the herbs, but to eat them, right?
Manbao himself didn't quite believe it, so he added, "All the cities in the world are similar. There is only one Yumen Pass in Shazhou that is different. But it is a military powerhouse and we cannot enter it. Let's wait and see from a distance."
Just feel its majesty.”
Heavy rain thought about it for a while and realized that their town was different.
He became complacent and said to her: "Yes, our town is very beautiful, completely different from other places, otherwise we wouldn't have fallen in love with it at a glance."
After Dayu collected the money, their trading relationship was over, but Manbao was very generous and asked Shopkeeper Zhang to charge their meal expenses and money to her account.
They are officials from the capital. Although they are not very big, it is really not difficult to see Governor He. The guards sent the post to the governor's office. They waited directly outside the Yamen for a while and heard a reply, so they came back to report," Governor He said.
He will be free at three o'clock tomorrow."
Manbao then said: "Then it's noon in a quarter of an hour. It's noon as soon as we talk. Does he want to treat us to dinner?"
Mr. Zhuang patted her on the head and cursed with a smile, "Thinking about food all day."
Heavy rain on the other side of the dining table nodded with deep understanding.
However, Mr. Zhuang still took it to heart, so when he went out the next day, he took all six children with him, just like the old men and women in the village who were going to have a wedding banquet.
Bai Shan and others also dressed up, put on a better set of clothes, hung accessories on their clothes, and then set off with Mr. Zhuang in high spirits.
After walking in the desert for more than ten days, they were still very hungry and didn't know what the flavor of Shazhou was.
Governor He met them at the Governor's Mansion. When they entered the gate, Manbao was at the front, and it was her who led everyone in.
When He Jishi saw her, his eyes flashed. He immediately stood up with a smile and saluted Zhou Man. After greetings, they sat down in separate seats.
He knew Zhou Man's origins and his mission to the Western Regions.
In fact, he had received official documents and news from the capital a long time ago. He was naturally curious and...reverent about the famous Dr. Zhou in the capital, not to mention that she cured the prince's disease and gave the dynasty an emperor.
The eldest grandson mentioned the smallpox in Xiazhou. God knows how scared they were after winter last year.
Fortunately, the prescriptions they sent were effective, and there were not many smallpox patients here. Some people who came with the disease were controlled when they entered the city, and then were isolated outside the city...
He had seen the effectiveness of that prescription with his own eyes, and the mortality rate was much lower than the smallpox death rate he had seen when he was a child.
I forgot to mention that he also suffered from smallpox, and that was when he was a child. Although he was protected by his family in the back house, he has never forgotten the feeling of life and death.
I heard that this prescription was improved by the imperial doctors of Imperial Hospital based on the prescription given by Imperial Physician Lu, among whom Imperial Physician Zhou put in a lot of effort.
And this time Zhou Man went to the Western Regions for the prevention and treatment of smallpox. Although he didn't know why a small and backward country like the Western Regions would have such an important prescription, he didn't care, as long as he had it.
Therefore, Governor He did not stop them from leaving the city, and said very enthusiastically: "Yesterday, I asked someone to go to General Meng to report it. I just made an appointment with him to have dinner at the Anning Restaurant. Why don't Dr. Zhou go with me?
It’s a good time to mention the customs clearance documents.”
Man Bao happily agreed, then asked a little curiously, "Is it difficult to get customs clearance documents now?"
Governor He sighed, "The Imperial Physician Zhou came all the way from Xiazhou. Is the journey easy?"
Manbao paused and then said: "It's okay, but many of the inns along the way are abandoned, or there are no inns, so it's a bit inconvenient."
Governor He: "...What I'm saying is that you haven't encountered any bandits or horse thieves?"
"Oh, we encountered a wave," Man Bao smiled nonchalantly: "But it has been wiped out."
