Chapter 282

Of course, it is impossible for snake medicine to treat viral infectious diseases. Even the detoxification pills sold in later generations are not the same principle.

Therefore, what Zhang Ji said about "Lingling Yiserk kills three insects" is just to treat some local parasitic infectious diseases. Viral and bacterial ones still have to rely on other methods.

Therefore, Zhang Ji explained very carefully: "The strange snake in Lingling was black and white. If it touched the grass and trees, it would die. If it was to bite people without any control, it would be very effective in deworming. It would be necessary to recruit brave hunters to catch them at a high price. I heard that the right general had allowed the flexibly implementing the method of renting and mediocre rent in Lingling County. It would be better to allow the people to use snakes to pay their rent and taxes?"

(Note: It is fake to die from all the grass and trees. The ancients didn't understand, so they said that. Because they couldn't tell whether the dead grass next to the snake was venomous to the snake.)

Zhao Yun took a few breaths, suppressed his discomfort, and nodded: "It's feasible, but this year I have promised the people of Lingling to exempt the autumn tax. Why not ask the private purchases for property equivalent to rent and tax?

The new law stipulates that every year, one zhang of brocade is paid for 300 coins; two stones of grain are rented, and six hundred coins are paid for 45 days; nine hundred coins are paid for 5 zhang per snake. We will buy it for 300 coins. How about it? If the snake is so poisonous, what will the people in Lingling do?”

After all, Zhang Ji is a native of Jingzhou. He is a little familiar with the market and said with a guess: "A single 300 coins is not low. As long as it is a five-foot-long snake, I heard that the hunters who are good at catching will be no danger."

As soon as Zhang Ji finished speaking, Fan Juan, who was wearing a veil next to him (to prevent the transmission of unknown diseases) and was serving Zhao Yun to drink the medicine, also echoed in a gentle voice: "The hunter in Lingling has always been able to catch snakes and sell it, and it is not cheap anymore. I heard that Bao Long, who was fighting with the general, was born as a hunter.

In his early years, he was famous for shooting tigers and hunting snakes. Even people in Guiyang know it. It is said that before he joined the army, he could catch hundreds of them every year, so although he was born in a humble family, he had a lot of family resources."

Fan Juan has just arrived these two days. It turned out that since Li Su replied to Zhao Yun, Li Su also sent a letter to Zhao Fan from Guiyang, informing Zhao Fan that he approved Zhao Yun to take a concubine and be friendly to the local tyrants.

After receiving it, Zhao Fan, in order to flatter, he immediately sent a team of personal soldiers to tell Mr. Fan that he would send his daughter to Quanling. After Fan Juan arrived in Quanling, she heard that Zhao Yun fell ill and went to the army to act as a "nurse".

However, Zhao Yun's military law was rigorous. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the military has paid great attention to the conditions for living. He must cook his diet thoroughly, and the excrement must be filled in centralized landfills. The sickly nursing staff must be masked. A few women who appear will wear veils.

Yingpu is close to the junction of Hunan and Guangdong in later generations. It is the hot weather at the end of May of the lunar calendar and the jungles in the mountains.

Even if Fan Juan was afraid of people, she did not dare to wear it so much that she was bitten by mosquitoes. She had to wear thin gauze all over her body, wear veils, and dew every day to deworm insects, like the Arab dancers in tulle costumes on TV in later generations. With such a person feeding water and medicine every day, Zhao Yun felt very uncomfortable and was very hot all over, but because his illness had not recovered, he did not act rashly.

...

After Zhang Ji was fully authorized, he immediately carried out publicity on renting and placing medicinal materials in Quanling, Yingpu and other counties, and collected epidemic medicines.

Don’t underestimate this work, because Liu Du and Bao Long actually don’t have much combat effectiveness. The last bottleneck that prevents Zhao Yun from completely quelling Jingnan is the medical and health level. As long as the Lingnan plague and fever are solved, the military card can easily win.

This is an invisible war without gunpowder.

Two days later, Li Yan posted a notice in front of the prefect's office in Quanling County, and organized dozens of civil servants to go down to various townships to promote policies.

"Friends, please take a look! Take a look at the King of Hanzhong, Wang Renzheng, and allows more flexible and convenient equal losses based on the renting and mediocre adjustment method. This is a special matter, and only gives preferential treatment to the people of Lingling!

Starting this year, people in Lingling can use beeswax, honey, and black and white snakes to pay for rent and mediocre remuneration. One snake will be 300 yuan, one will be waived for household transfer, two will be waived for rent, three will be waived for mediocre remuneration, and six rent will be waived for rent at a time!

In addition, General Fu Bo has long said that all taxes will be exempted this year, so the court bought them directly for three hundred coins per one, or paid one stone of grain. It is only a big snake that is five feet long, and it is deducted for fifty coins per foot. If you pay honey and beeswax, you will be discounted for three hundred coins per five liters of honey. It is adjusted for one year, and a bucket of beeswax will be reduced for three hundred coins, and it is adjusted for one year..."

Li Yan's clerk yelled for a long time, and the Shanyue people clamored and asked: "How much does it cost to rent honey and beeswax without rent? Please calculate it."

The civil servant was a little surprised: Are the Shanyue people in Lingling so illiterate? They don’t know the numbers? They can’t even calculate the number of one, two, three, and six, and they still have to ask the officials?

[Reading Benefits] Follow the public.. Account [Book Friends Base Camp], read books every day to get cash/point coins!

But the civil servants could only accept the status quo and patiently explained: "Of course, three dou of honey is free of renting mediocre men's meals for one year, and six dou of beeswax!"

Another Shanyue hunter quarreled: "How to calculate a big snake that is more than five feet long? You have to add more money! I heard that the bigger the medicine, the better the effect, the harder it is to work. You only add fifty dollars per foot without doing it!"

"..." The minor official did not receive authorization, so of course he could not agree, so he had to ask for instructions again.

The last two riots took two days to finalize the policy details. Li Shixin released the details: a big snake with more than five feet plus one hundred coins per foot, and a big snake with more than seven feet plus two hundred coins per foot. That is, a five hundred coins per seven feet and a nine-foot-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-thick-th

The largest snake in Lingling is only nine feet tall, so if you can catch it, you will be exempted from renting and urging for two snakes a year.

The people frantically joined the ranks of catching snakes and selling medicines, and rushed to tell each other. Li Yan quickly got enough medicinal materials in his hands.

When the people got the money, they sighed: "The king of Hanzhong is benevolent! Rent and tax are stronger than tigers, and paying snakes can be exempted from taxes. It's so kind."

"Before Liu Du ran away, he opened the warehouse and released grain, but he only bought people's hearts for a while. After the meal, he had no meal. He was not as safe as the people of the King of Hanzhong. He was guaranteed every year. Yesterday, we handed over two nine-foot-long snakes, and we exchanged two-foot-long Shu brocade worth 1,800. It was the kind of five-foot-wide. It was said that it was a whole piece of one-foot-eight-sized brocade. Next year's rent and mediocre adjustment will be here."

"My family also paid the snake, but my family does not lack the money to pay taxes next year. The snake that is worth two years old has been exchanged for Sanshijing salt, which is enough for the whole family to eat for many years. This Sichuan salt is indeed more refined than Huai salt. In previous years, Yangzhou merchants came to Changsha to sell it, which is much worse than this and is not cheap.

We heard a while ago that the right general sealed Baqiu and refused to let Yangzhou merchants come over. We were afraid that even the Hunan people would not be able to buy salt. I didn’t expect that Sichuan salt would be better and there would be no need to buy salt from Yangzhou people in the future. I really couldn’t imagine that Sichuan salt would be enough to be enough for Yizhou people to eat, and they could still take out.”

Such public responses were endless. For a moment, the people's foundation for Liu Du's expectation to turn the tables gradually collapsed.

...

As medical resources gradually became more abundant, Zhao Yun's condition quickly recovered under Zhang Ji's personal control, and most of the soldiers in the army improved.

However, because it was delayed, it was already the beginning of the sixth month of the lunar calendar. Zhao Yun was not convenient to go deep into the mountains to fight, so he had to keep patrols along the banks of the Xiang River to stabilize the place. When the hottest time of summer passed, he would give Liu Du the last blow.

It is certain that Liu Du and even Zhang Jin would definitely not have a chance to turn the tables. The only remaining reliance they rely on is the time, and it will be over when the bad weather passes. The previous luring the enemy into the depths did not cause large-scale plague casualties to Zhao Yun's army, which means that Liu Du has lost.

Because Li Su came to Jingzhou to have another task and could not wait until Zhao Yun completely ended the battle, he ordered Zhao Yun to pay attention and told him that he would go back to Chengdu in mid-June and asked Zhao Yun to be careful.

Zhao Yun was slightly frightened and wrote down all the precautions and comforted Lingling by himself, but Guiyang did not mention it.

After recovering from the illness, Fan Juan continued to wear gauze clothes to nourish Zhao Yun every day, without slacking off her clothes and was not slacking off. Zhao Yun didn't care at first, mainly because he was used to being served when he was sick, and habit became natural.

But he was also a strong man of twenty-seven years old and had always had maids and concubines in his family. The reason why he didn't marry was because he was cautious and didn't like to marry other noble families. Liu Bei originally told many dirty jokes to privately, winning over him and wanting to be his brother-in-law. After drinking several times, he said that he would marry the underage girl of the Zhen family when she grew up in the future.

From Liu Bei's standpoint, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and even thought it was a sign of winning over his brothers. After all, Guan Yu's concubine Zhen Tuo and Zhang Fei's wife Zhen Dao were the second and third sisters of Liu Bei's concubine Zhen Jiang.

Originally, Zhen Rong, the fourth sister of the Zhen family, is fourteen years old this year, and her younger sister Zhen Mi is only eleven. Liu Bei felt that Li Su had joined the group early, so he wanted Li Su to take Zhen Rong as his concubine, and Zhao Yun would be the turn to go back in a few years. In Liu Bei's opinion, as long as a man has enough concubines, it is no big deal to marry a wife at the age of 30. He himself only took a concubine and did not marry her after his first wife died, and only remarried in his early thirties.

That was something that Liu Bei and Li Su had privately talked about during the Chinese New Year this year. But the question was, how could Li Su agree to take Zhen Rong as his concubine? So at that time, he immediately declined on the grounds that he had just gotten married with Cai Yan and had a good relationship with his wife and did not need a concubine.

Liu Bei repeatedly confirmed that he realized that Li Su was not joking, so he decided to let Zhao Yun get married early, saying that he could marry him if he returned to Hanzhong this time, because Zhen Rong was almost fifteen years old by the end of the year, so when would he not get married?

Of course, Zhao Yun still didn't want to rely on nepotism, and he seemed to be "come a party with his relatives". He even Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, was not Liu Bei's concubine. If the relatives were too strong, it would be unfavorable to the country and would disrupt the power of the legitimate and illegitimate family. Maybe Wu Kuang would not be able to suppress the Zhen family by then.

Zhao Yun also knew that Liu Bei might let him take charge of the imperial army, so how could he get closer to the Zhen family? So he wanted to escape without hiding, and took advantage of the fact that he had to solve his lifelong affairs before being forced to marry Zhen Rong.

Unfortunately, although the maids and concubines in the past few years were of good looks, they were too humble and could not be put on the table. In the late Han Dynasty, few people helped the concubines straight without marrying their wives, which was not in accordance with the etiquette.

After meeting Fan Juan this time, Zhao Yun started to move.

"Maybe this is a fate. Although it is just a local tycoon in Guiyang County, it can be taken on the table..."

After the psychological defense was loose, one day, Fan Juan wore a gauze and fed Zhao Yun with health soup because of the heat. Zhao Yun felt hot and gave it to him at will.

Fan Juan let out a moan, and naturally she would not resist.

"I'll marry you." After the matter was completed, Zhao Yun said cautiously.

Fan Juan's eyes flashed: "I have long regarded myself as a general, so I don't have to force myself, I can do anything."

"Don't worry, I wasn't forced by you. I've already thought about it. I'll make the decision." Zhao Yun stopped him domineeringly and refused to refuse. He had his own plans.
