Datang Nongwang

Chapter 581 Sun Simiao
The old lady did not want Li Chongyuan to go to Xixiang again.

Even though Xixiang is Li Chongyuan's fiefdom, the old lady still has lingering fears when she thinks about what happened last year.

If it was not Li Chongzhen who was tied up at that time, but Li Chongyuan.

The consequences are unimaginable.

Even if Li Chongyuan got the Wanmin Book in Xixiang, so he was promoted to a title, but for the old lady, safety is the most important thing, even if she doesn't want the Wanmin Book, the old lady has nothing to regret, at least people are safe Well.

but.

The old lady didn't know.

The matter over there in Xixiang is quite important to Li Chongyuan.

Even if he doesn't go now, Li Chongyuan must go to Xixiang after the shipyard's ships are built, even if the old lady stops him.

And now.

According to the letter from Xixiang, Li Chongyuan calculated according to the time, even if his itinerary took two months, the first ship on the side of Xixiang had basically been built.

otherwise.

Li Chongyuan wouldn't think about going to Xixiang right now.

Li Chongyuan knew that his aunt was worried about him, but this Xixiang had reached the point where he could no longer go, "Aniang, you also know that the old Xixiang is not as good as before. There are already a lot of officials, even those from the Tongjun Mansion The generals and the government soldiers have all changed, and the bandits and bandits have long since disappeared. Aniang, let me go. Besides, the matter in Xixiang is very important, otherwise, the boy will It is not necessary to go to Xixiang. The shipyard has invested a lot, and the ocean water has invested a lot. If the child does not go, I will feel uneasy."

"Yuan'er, my mother said earlier that it doesn't matter if the ship is not built. There is no land on the sea, and there is no food. If there is any grain that can produce tens of thousands of catties per mu, the world will soon Someone spread the word. Yuan'er, listen to A Niang and don't go." The old lady still stopped, and still didn't believe what Li Chongyuan had said.

In the mind of the old lady, the grain yielding tens of thousands of catties per mu is simply hearsay and a deceptive story.

but.

Li Chongyuan believed in this matter quite a bit.

As long as it's still on Earth.

Then there are corn, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, peanuts and other crops that Li Chongyuan cares about.

Others may not believe it.

But Li Chongyuan had to believe it.

But right now.

The old lady's stop immediately made Li Chongyuan a little bit at the end of his rope, and had no choice.

Forget it?
of course not.

Li Chongyuan had no choice but to leave his family and return to Lizhuang in the end.

But as soon as Li Chongyuan returned to Lizhuang, he poured out to Li Yuan what he had said to the old lady.

When Li Yuan heard Li Chongyuan's words, he was shocked, "Yuan'er, is what you said true? Are there really thousands of jins of grain per mu overseas? You can't lie to me, right? In this world, where is there such a thing?" It produces thousands of catties of grain per mu. If there were, those foreign people would not have come to my country of Tang. Last year, when you went to Xixiang, Wan'er mentioned this to me, but I But he didn't believe it. And now, you're talking about it again, which makes Uncle really unable to believe that it's true."

last year.

Before Li Chongyuan returned to Chang'an, Wan'er had talked to Li Yuan about things beyond the sea, saying that there were tens of thousands of catties of grain per mu there.

then.

Li Yuan basically didn't believe Wan'er's words.

Even with last year's harvest of grain, he, Li Yuan, would never believe that there is still so much grain in this world.

Now.

When Li Chongyuan mentioned this matter again, Li Yuan's first reaction was disbelief.

He didn't believe it, but he had some thoughts about Li Chongyuan's firm statement.

"Uncle, if you think about it, you also know that the world is big, but no matter how big it is, it has an end. Besides, you also know, uncle, that the world we live in is a ball, so no matter how we move in one direction, the It will inevitably return to the original point, it’s just a matter of time. Uncle, think about it, our Central Plains was originally barren of species. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions, and slowly this added to our country. There are a lot of grains, fruits, vegetables, etc. Therefore, there are many species in the Western Regions, let alone overseas, don’t you think so?” Li Chongyuan began to mention Zhang Qian in the Han Dynasty to Li Yuan.

And following what Li Chongyuan said.

In Li Yuan's head, he began to believe what Li Chongyuan said.

At least, Zhang Qian did bring back a lot of species from the countries of the Western Regions, which also made the people gradually have more food to eat from that time on.

Li Yuan looked at Li Chongyuan, with an excited expression, and said, "Yuan'er, if this matter is true, then uncle will definitely support you. Tell me, what do you want uncle to do? Go talk to your mother?"

"Hey, uncle, you understand me. Auntie refused to let me go to Xixiang, saying that she was afraid that the same thing as last year would happen again in Xixiang. So, I came back and asked my uncle to come forward and help me to talk to Auntie , let me go to Xixiang. Moreover, Xiang Si wrote recently that the paddle steamer is almost at the finishing stage, and if I don’t go, I won’t be able to catch up with the trial voyage.” Li Chongyuan replied slightly embarrassed.

Li Yuan thought for a while, and after a moment of contemplation, he clapped his hands together, "Okay, then go back to Chang'an."

With Li Yuan in charge.

The matter of Li Chongyuan going to Xixiang was finally settled.

After a few days.

Li Chongyuan took some guards of Xing Ba and the others, ready to set off.

Since Zhu Ni and Liao Xian hadn't come back yet, they must not be able to accompany them.

It has been almost half a year since the two of them left Lizhuang. Although the letter came, Li Chongyuan never received the letter in the past two months.

Li Chongyuan was still worried about the troubles the two of them had encountered, and wanted to send someone to look for them, but he didn't have a specific goal.

The day before departure.

Li Chongyuan was urged by the old lady thousands of times, which also made Li Chongyuan feel the old lady's worry.

even.

When Li Chongyuan went to Xixiang this time, the old lady specially dispatched 50 soldiers from the Xiang family to accompany Li Chongyuan to Xixiang.

Including Li Chongyuan's original guards, the number has reached nearly a hundred.

but.

Li Chongyuan didn't take all the guards away. After all, Li Zhuang still needed them to do things, and Li Chongyuan only planned to take 60 people with him in the end.

Xiang Ba and the others must go there.

On the day of departure.

Li Chongyuan returned to his home and bid farewell to the old lady. The old lady sent Li Chongyuan out of the gate of Lifang, stood there watching the carriage leaving, and burst into tears.

"Mother, fourth brother just went to Xixiang, and he will be back in a few months." Wan'er, who was beside her, saw her mother wiping her tears, and hurriedly comforted her.

Waner.

She can say that she most wants to go to Xixiang with Li Chongyuan.

It's a pity that she can't go, and she can't go.

In order to stabilize this girl, Li Chongyuan deliberately brought this girl back to Chang'an, so that the old lady could control her, so that this girl would not follow Li Chongyuan's heels halfway.

The old lady wiped away her tears, "Your fourth brother has a hard life, working hard for our Li family, but we can't even help at all."

"Mother, fourth brother has a lot of things to do, and we don't understand, so we can't help if we want to. But fourth brother said, as long as our family is in harmony, it will be worth more than anything else." Wan'er was very happy at this time can speak.

This girl is in Lizhuang, she is a lawless master.

And today's words, if Li Chongyuan heard it, he must give her a thumbs up.

Li Chongyuan went to Xixiang this time, but he did not choose the last journey, but took the water route.

Go from Shangluo, take Danshui and then transfer to Hanshui.

The waterway is relatively slow, and once you reach the Hanshui River, you will go upstream, and the speed will inevitably be very slow.

on board.

Xingba and Daochang each held a firecracker, guarding Li Chongyuan at all times.

Even Yao Kong, Xiang Ba and the others each had a firecracker, and they took turns guarding Li Chongyuan.

There is a saying.

No one knows where is safe and where is not.

Last year's incident in Xixiang had left them with lingering fears, and the fact that the old lady had specially confessed to it made them always vigilant.

As for Xingba and their guards, Li Chongyuan persuaded them, if they didn't listen, they had to let them go.

"Sun Daochang, do you think it's time for us to start? We have been delayed for more than two months on this journey. If it is later, we are afraid of accidents. Sun Daochang, you see that we have worked hard for the past few months. Let's go on the road Let's go." At this moment, Sun Simiao, who was found by Liao Xian and the others on the edge of Danshui Pier, was taking pulses for the nearby people, and Liao Xian and Zhu Ni were trying to persuade this Sophisticated.

but.

This old immortal, however, did not move his body, did not raise his eyes, and took care of the pulse of each of the common people, not caring about the persuasion of Liao Xian and the other two.

In the first half month, Liao Xian and Liao Xian finally found this old fairy near Shangluo.

Following Li Chongyuan's instructions, the two handed over the letter to Sun Simiao.

But after the old god read Li Chongyuan's letter, he didn't believe what was said in the letter at all, and he didn't rush to Chang'an as soon as possible.

This is not.

After a lot of trouble, Liao Xian and Liao Xian waited on the old fairy and came to the edge of the official road near Danshui. They were about to take a boat westward to Shangluo, and then headed straight to Chang'an.

However, when Sun Simiao saw that some people were sick, without saying a word, he started his free clinic mode again.

Sun Simiao's practice of medicine is like this.

Wherever you go, there is a free clinic.

That is to say, there is no charge, but no medicine is charged.

The main reason is that he only cares about diagnosis and prescribing prescriptions, but he doesn't care about medicine. After all, it is impossible for a traveling doctor to carry all kinds of herbal medicines with him.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the old god, Liao Xian felt very depressed.

If it weren't for Li Chongyuan's confession, and what he saw and heard about Sun Simiao's medical skills along the way, Liao Xian would have resisted the old god and returned to Chang'an.

but.

he knows.

The temper of this old god is really weird, he can stop wherever he wants, he doesn't care what Liao Xian and Liao Xian think, and even treats Liao Xian and Liao Xian as servants.

At this moment, one of Sun Simiao's attendants glanced at Liao Xian and persuaded him, "Both of you, don't bother my teacher to get the pulse. If something goes wrong, it is your responsibility."

"I really don't want to disturb, but time waits for no one. How about you help me persuade Daoist Sun, let's get on the road quickly." Liao Xian was very anxious, but he had nothing to do with this old fairy, he could only They went to Sun Simiao's two followers.

but.

The attendant didn't care, and after throwing Liao Xian a supercilious look, he stood quietly behind Sun Simiao with his ears pricked up, waiting for the two attendants to learn some medical skills after Sun Simiao's free consultation.

Liao Xian looked at the current appearance, heaved a long breath, and winked at Zhu Ni.

Zhuni understood, and followed Liao Xian to the side, "Zhuni, you see we can't do anything about him, we really can't, why don't you write a letter to Xiao Langjun, and let Xiao Langjun come to invite him in person. He doesn't believe Xiao Langjun's letter." If it continues like this, when can we return to Chang'an."

"Hey!!! Eya, how about I go back to Chang'an to find Mr. Xiaolang first, and you follow Daoist Sun, so that we don't have to worry about finding him anymore." Zhu Ni suggested.

Liao Xian thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, then you go and come back quickly. When the boat arrives downstream, you can take the boat directly to the post station upstream to find a horse, which can also save a day's time."

Zhu Ni nodded, and then walked towards Danshui Wharf.

But right now.

Several ships came down the river, passing by the pier where they were.

And these ships happened to be the ships hired by Li Chongyuan.

but.

The boat was not moving slowly, and Li Chongyuan and others did not stand on the deck to watch, and even Xingba and the others did not leave the cabin.

No, the two sides just missed it.

on board.

Li Chongyuan looked at Yao Kong, "Old Yao, when did Eya and the others send you a letter? Have you heard from them recently?"

"Back to Mr. Xiaolang, I haven't heard from them for more than two months. The last time they wrote, they said they were still in Yunxiang. If they were still in Yunxiang, maybe we can meet them when we arrive in Yunxiang. .” Yao Kong responded to Li Chongyuan’s question.

Li Chongyuan shook his head helplessly, "It's been more than two months, and they probably left Yunxiang long ago. I hope they're okay, even if they didn't find Sun Simiao. There's no news for more than two months, and I'm really afraid that something happened to them."

Put it into modern times.

Things that can be done with a phone call can be done at the moment, and everything is mainly written.

Moreover, the journey is still far away. If you want to find someone, it is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Liao Xian and the others have followed Li Chongyuan for nearly two years.

Even if Sun Simiao was not found, Li Chongyuan did not want anything to happen to the two of them.

but.

But he didn't know that just now, they and Liao Xian made a mistake.

at this time.

On the Danshui Wharf, Zhu Ni boarded a boat and headed for a station upstream.

However, Liao Xian was still persuading Sun Simiao earnestly to let him set off to Chang'an with him.

But right.

Liao Xian's persuasion was a noise to Sun Simiao who was undergoing a free clinic.
