"Captain Lieutenant Chen Cheng would like to see you."
When Guan Jing heard the soldier's report, he felt a little disappointed. This Chen Wenzheng seemed to be good at fighting, but his temper was not stable enough and needed to be tempered. He walked to the door with a smile on his face and said: "Oh,
Wen Zheng came here in such a hurry, is there something important?"
Chen Cheng saluted first, and then said: "I just remembered something, so I came here to ask the Chief of Guan Shi. A certain man has some experience in treating wounded soldiers and is planning to build a sanatorium in the city to take in and treat the wounded. I wonder if the Chief can ask Zhonglang
Will you inform me?"
"Well," Guan Jing was stunned for a moment, then twirled his beard and said, "I have also heard that Wen Zheng is good at treating patients. Since you are willing, I should advise my lord. You can rest here for a while, and I will go
Come as soon as you go."
He said to the soldiers outside the door: "Come here, prepare some food for Captain Chen."
Chen Cheng quickly said: "I've already eaten, so I won't bother Chang Shi."
Guan Jing rushed to Gongsun Zan's residence and told the whole story. Gongsun Zan was already preparing to withdraw his troops. He was feeling headache for the thousands of sick and wounded in the army. When he heard that someone was willing to take over, he felt much relieved, but
When he heard it was Chen Cheng, he still snorted and said, "You can buy people's hearts!"
Guan Jing asked: "What do you mean, lord?"
An unconscious sneer appeared on Gongsun Zan's face, and he said: "Give it to him! He can also leave the doctors and medicines in the army to him, but let him find his own way with food and grass. There are not many in the army!"
Guan Jing frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be better not to give it at all?"
"Humph," Gongsun Zan sneered, "I'll give it to you!"
When Guan Jing returned to his residence, his face was full of smiles again. He said to Chen Cheng: "My lord has agreed!"
Chen Cheng took out a box, placed it on the desk, and said, "Thank you very much, Chang Shi."
"What do you mean?" Guan Jing took the box unconsciously and said angrily: "Am I someone who is greedy for money?"
He opened the box a little, and when he saw the bright yellow color inside, he immediately became happy, "It won't happen next time, it won't happen again!"
Guan Jing thought for a while and then said: "My lord will be teaching soon, and Wen Zhengda can live here. All the people around Guanzicheng have fled, and the fields are all ownerless..."
.”
He said to Chen Cheng: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Thank you again, Chang Shi."
When he returned to Zhao Yun's place, several soldiers in the yard were drinking and their faces were red. Seeing Chen Cheng come in and insisting on toasting him, he smiled and declined. When he went into the wing and took a look, Zhao Yun was still sleeping soundly.
Medium. After another check, the health value has increased from 1% to 3%. It seems that it will be cured in less than ten days and a half.
The next day, Gongsun Zan's army pulled out of camp and returned eastward, leaving Tian Yu behind to garrison Guanzicheng. When they left, they took away most of the cattle, sheep, horses, and other supplies, leaving only devastation and more than 3,000 lightly and seriously injured people. On one day
During the time, nearly two hundred seriously injured people had not made it through. Otherwise, the number of injured people would have been even higher.
In a certain world, until the Second World War, the treatment of wounded soldiers was a difficult problem. In this era when modern medicine had no shadow, treating more than 3,000 wounded soldiers was a difficult task. Even if
Chen Cheng still used the plug-in, so he could only add the most seriously injured soldiers to the team first, and the others were divided into three parts according to the severity of their injuries.
He was busy for several days. After discussing with Tian Yu, they first moved the Han people on the west bank of the river to Guanzi City, and the Jin Sanhuan Department asked them to graze on their own along both sides of the river. Before Gongsun Zan left, he had appointed
Tian Yu is the local acting county magistrate. Although the official appointment from the court has not yet been made, he has already begun to take charge as Bailihou.
After taking over the county magistrate's seal, Tian Yu immediately appointed Chen Cheng as the acting county magistrate, promoted some meritorious soldiers to fill up the merits, and then began to deal with the problems he faced. There are two main problems before him now.
The first problem is the thousands of wounded soldiers left behind by Gongsun Zan, and the second problem is food.
Because Chen Cheng had already taken over the treatment of the wounded, Tian Yu had to consider how to fill the bellies of his subordinates. The rebels had been entrenched here for two months and had eaten almost everything. The barbarians could still drive cattle and sheep.
Living from grass to grass and surviving on goat's and mare's milk, what should the nearly four thousand Han people in the city eat?
It's almost autumn now. It's okay to plant some vegetables, but it's not yet the season to plant food. Looking at the bare ground around him, Tian Yu has no other choice but to mobilize his men to fish in the river, and at the same time send people to the neighboring counties.
China borrows grain.
After eating fish for several days, the soldiers' injuries stabilized. Chen Cheng went to find Tian Yu who was leading people to fish on the river. Tian Yu shouted loudly on the bank: "Throw all the fish into the wooden basin."
, no more crabs and other things!”
Chen Cheng was stunned when he saw the soldiers throwing crabs the size of an average person's face back inside. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Why are you throwing the crabs back? They are also edible!"
Tian Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I know this food is edible, but eating too much and causing diarrhea can kill you."
"Is there such a theory?" Chen Cheng thought for a while. In his memory, it seemed that eating crayfish could cause rhabdomyolysis, but he hadn't heard much about eating crabs. Then he thought that fish and shrimps in fresh water have parasites.
In this age where raw food is preferred, it is not surprising that various diseases occur due to eating raw food.
In his mind, there was also a famous person from the Three Kingdoms period who died because he liked to eat sashimi.
However, he is not afraid of spoiling his stomach, and as long as he cooks it for a while, it will be fine.
"If you don't want it, then give it to me!" Chen Cheng said, "I'll get more firewood. It will be delicious when cooked."
At this point, he realized that he had gone astray. He didn't come here today to discuss crabs!
"I heard that Guo Rang is worried about food?" Chen Cheng said, "I have an idea."
"Oh? Come and listen."
"I have a crop here called potatoes..."
After hearing what Chen Cheng said about the benefits of potatoes, Tian Yu was very skeptical, "The yield per mu can be one or two thousand catties? How is this possible?"
Tian Yu was not a Gaoliang boy who was completely unfamiliar with farming. He said excitedly: "If there was such a high yield, how could anyone starve to death?"
"I'm just saying it's possible." Chen Cheng thought about the data in his memory and was a little unsure. "How much it can produce depends on the weather and the fertility of the land. But now it's too late to separate species, so why not
Just plant potatoes."
"Wen Zheng, can the potato you mentioned be sown in autumn?"
After getting a positive answer, Tian Yu made the decision without even thinking: Then we will grow potatoes!
Anyway, the land outside the city was deserted, so getting 180 acres of land to grow crops was not a problem at all. The problem was that Chen Cheng didn't have many potatoes on hand to sprout, because he had already given half of them to Liu Bei before.
"It doesn't matter," Tian Yu said with a smile, "It's better than nothing."
After the two of them finished talking about crabs and potatoes, Chen Cheng turned the topic elsewhere, saying: "The sages said: People who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries. The immediate problems must be solved, and the long-term matters must be planned. Zhonglang will
Guanzicheng has been handed over to Guorang, and I don’t know how to manage it?”
Tian Yu thought for a while and said: "Of course it is in accordance with the laws of the imperial court."
"What exactly?"
Tian Yu said: "I plan to lay off most of the soldiers, and then divide the land outside the city equally among them and let them cultivate it. In this way, the food needed by the army will be much less. The people are civilians in peacetime and soldiers in wartime.
Organize them for training in your free time, and when the enemy comes, recruit them to fight!"
After receiving the unexpected answer, Chen Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then asked: "Can Ding Yuan and the others also divide the land?"
Tian Yu said in surprise: "They are also common people under the rule of the imperial court, so why can't they?"
"You have to pay rent for farming, right? I wonder how much land tax Guorang plans to collect?"
Tian Yu said: "At the beginning of the country, the land tax was thirty taxes and one..."
Seeing the disapproving expression on Chen Cheng's face, Tian Yu continued: "Of course it's impossible now, but charging 70% of the rent is too high."
He shook his head and said: "The army is three and the people are seven, what does Wen Zheng think?"
Tian Yu argued: "There is no way to charge such a high tax. We are located on the border here and we have to raise soldiers. Raising soldiers requires money and food. If there is less, we really can't sustain it."
"This is already very good," Chen Cheng laughed and said, "If this is the case, I will first thank Ding Yuan and the others. What should the Wuhuan people of the Golden Third Ring Department do? They don't know how to plant crops.
It’s from the ground.”
Tian Yu said: "I've thought about this too. Guanzicheng is located on the edge of the grassland and serves as a barrier to western Liaoning. If the Hu people want to go south, they will definitely come to fight for it. I plan to let Jin Sanhuan go to the north to graze after a period of time. If
If an enemy attacks, it can also serve as a buffer."
Chen Cheng laughed and said: "The talent of the state governor is enough to serve as the governor of the state, but the post of county magistrate is too humiliating."
Tian Yu felt embarrassed and said, "Compared with Wenzheng, I'm still far behind. I just have some foolish opinions on how to govern the place."
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "Otherwise, if you mount a horse, you can govern the army, and if you dismount, you can govern the people. If you practice locally for a while, you can become a general or a prime minister."
Tian Yu laughed and said, "This is too much."
"It's not an exaggeration," Chen Cheng's speech slowed down and his voice became deeper, "Nowadays, in the imperial court, there are rotten trees serving as officials; between the emperors and emperors, animals and beasts eat their salary; people with wolf-hearted and dog-like hearts are in power; and servile servants kneel on their knees.
All the people are adhering to the government one after another! How many people are like the country's surrender, who can take the people and the country into their hearts?"
Tian Yu's expression changed drastically and he shouted in a low voice: "Be careful what you say!"
Chen Cheng blinked, laughed, and said, "It's a joke, don't take it seriously!"
Tian Yu also laughed, but his eyes were full of worry. The territory of the empire is now full of wars, from south to north, from east to west, there are wars everywhere, and there are rebellions everywhere.
Do you know that this is abnormal? Who is an intelligent person who doesn’t know that something is wrong with the country?
Huangfu Song had just wiped out the Yellow Turban Army, and Yan Zhong persuaded him to rebel while he had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals in his hands. It can be seen that people in the world have changed their minds, and it's just a matter of who takes the lead first. Like Zhang Ju, isn't he just claiming to be
Was he the emperor? But he was soon beaten to the ground by Gongsun Zan.
Chen Cheng smiled for a while and said: "Then I won't bother you for now. Don't throw away these crabs. Pick the bigger ones and send them to the nursing home."
Tian Yu said: "Don't worry, I'll pick the biggest one for you."
