Han Dao world

Chapter 568
After arriving in Jinyang, Xia Houlan didn't move on.

Along the way, his wife, Mrs. Zhang, was exhausted and could no longer make the long journey, so she decided to stay in Jinyang and rest for a while before leaving.

Jinyang City is very lively, with people coming and going, and the inn is also very tense and overcrowded.Xia Houlan wanted to find a quieter inn, but found several, not to mention the quiet ones, not even the quiet ones. There were people with accents from all over the place, and businessmen were the main ones.

Just when Xia Houlan was helpless, he met Hao Zhao.

Hao Zhao went back to his hometown to visit his relatives, and by the way, he was looking for talents in Taiyuan to join the Forbidden Army.When he first joined the army, he was with Zhao Yun. After he joined the army, he became the servant of Sanqi, and under Zhao Yun's command, he had a very good relationship with Zhao Yun.This time when he returned home, he was entrusted by Zhao Yun to take care of the people who came from Changshan, among which Xiahoulan was the first one.

After finding Xiahoulan, Hao Zhao was very enthusiastic and invited Xiahoulan to stay at his home for a while.

The Hao family is not considered a big family in Taiyuan, but they also have small assets, which is more than enough to arrange for Xia Houlan's family.Seeing that Xiahoulan's wife is pregnant, Hao Zhao suggested that Xiahoulan go to Hedong.Not only is there a stable life in Hedong, but also abundant resources, and there are many female doctors with excellent medical skills.Whether it is medical treatment or delivery, the level is very high.

Xia Houlan was very surprised, why the level of female doctors in Hedong is so high?
Hao Zhao explained that there are several reasons for the high level of female doctors in Hedong: one is that Xun Yu ruled Hedong and took the restoration of the population as the most important task, so he paid special attention to women's bodies; Those who were taken away by the Xiliang Army left behind many patients who suffered many years of suffering and needed medical treatment.Most of these people can read and write, and some of them own quite a lot of property and have enough financial resources to hire a good female doctor.

The most important point is that the emperor attached great importance to medicine. He not only changed the name of medical craftsmen to doctors and doctors, but also vigorously trained doctors and doctors with the Tai Medical Office as the center.Many people only know that Jia Xu gave lectures and taught the art of war, but they don't know that Ji Zhen and Hua Tuo have trained a large number of doctors long ago.

Several female doctors with the highest level in Hedong came from the Imperial Medical Office.

After listening to Hao Zhao's explanation, Xia Houlan opened her eyes and took her wife to Hedong.

After entering Taiyuan, Xia Houlan already felt that it was very different from Jizhou.After arriving in Hedong, Xia Houlan discovered that Taiyuan was far inferior to Hedong.Not only is the population larger in Hedong, the land is flatter, the field of vision is wider, and the morale of the people is also very different.

It is rare to see the houses of rich families in Hedong, but it is also rare to see poor and dilapidated houses.Most of the houses seen along the way are newly built thatched houses, and occasionally a few brick houses can be seen.Mulberry trees are planted in front of and behind the houses, vegetable gardens are opened up, and chickens and ducks are raised, creating a vibrant scene.

At the end of early summer and the beginning of midsummer, every household is raising silkworms, and people picking mulberry can be seen everywhere.While picking mulberry leaves, they discussed how much the silk price would rise this year, with bright smiles on their faces.

Xia Houlan asked Hao Zhao, will the silk price rise this year?

Hao Zhao didn't think about it, and it would definitely rise, and it would rise a lot, even doubling.After the Western Xianbei was beaten and disabled, businessmen from the Western Regions heard about it.In order to get enough supply, they are even willing to pay first.

Xia Houlan clicked her tongue for it.

Hao Zhao said again, you feel strange because you don't know how much profit these silks will make after they are sold to the Western Regions.You don't even know how much the Romans thousands of miles away like the silk of the big man.Even if the silk has been damaged, they are reluctant to throw it away. They want to remove the silk thread and sew it on the clothes again.Even nobles are no exception.

Xia Houlan was dumbfounded, and felt that she was listening to strange stories, which didn't seem like a human world.

-

After arriving in Anyi, Hao Zhao brought Xia Houlan to Wenxiu Bookstore.

Wenxiu Bookstore has the best female doctor, and there are also new books that Hao Zhao wants to bring back, especially the war records that Cai Yan just finished.These books should not only be distributed to the generals in the army, but also the teaching materials for the new students of the Military Academy.Because of confidentiality requirements, the army must be protected along the way, so Hao Zhao undertook this task.

Mrs. Tang handed over to Hao Zhao in person.

Knowing that Xiahoulan is a fellow villager of Zhao Yun, Mrs. Tang warmly received Xiahoulan and welcomed Xiahoulan's wife Zhang to live in the bookstore for a period of time until after giving birth.Xia Houlan can safely follow Hao Zhao to Xingzai.The second phase of enrollment for the Military Academy is underway. If Xia Houlan is in a hurry, she may still have the opportunity to participate in the study.

Hearing this news, Xiahoulan was very moved, and Mrs. Zhang did not want Xiahoulan to miss this opportunity, so she readily accepted Mrs. Tang's suggestion.Having lived in Wenxiu Bookstore for two days, Mrs. Zhang is very satisfied with the atmosphere here, and even has the idea of ​​asking for a job and living here permanently.

While waiting for Mrs. Tang to print the book, Hao Zhao took Xia Houlan to take a sneak break and went to Jiguan.

Zhao Yun had something to tell Guan Yu.

-

Jiguan situation is very tense.When Xia Houlan arrived, Guan Yu was training soldiers.

He selected fifty tall soldiers, wearing heavy armor and holding long knives, as his personal guards to prepare for the upcoming battle.

The last time he rushed to help Hanoi, after killing Wen Chou, Guan Yu succeeded Xu Huang and became the captain of Jiguan, with two thousand cavalry under his command.According to the system, he can have two hundred guards and cavalry.But he didn't lack horses, but he lacked heavy armor. After exhausting his financial resources, he could only equip fifty heavy armored cavalry with long swords.

Such people are not easy to choose.The long knife is powerful and demanding.Even among these fifty people, not everyone can meet Guan Yu's requirements.Every time he trained, Guan Yu was not very satisfied. He felt that these people did not work hard enough and refused to work hard.

Seeing Hao Zhao, Guan Yu's eyes lit up immediately. Hao Zhao, who is nine feet tall, is simply the most ideal swordsman in heavy armor.

But when he heard Hao Zhao's identity, the light in his eyes went out instantly.The Sanqi servant next to the emperor has a bright future, how could he come to him to be a heavy armored swordsman.

But Hao Zhao is very interested in the heavy armored swordsman.He asked Guan Yu about the equipment and tactics in detail, and was going to report back to the emperor.

Hearing that Hao Zhao was going to report to the emperor, Guan Yu quickly said that the original idea of ​​this tactic was proposed by Xu Huang, not himself.Please Hao Zhao must mention Xu Huang at that time, and don't mess up the order.

Hao Zhao admired Guan Yu's uprightness very much, and Xia Houlan was also very surprised.He had heard Guan Yu's name before, and he only knew that this person was difficult to get along with, but he didn't expect Guan Yu to be such a person.

Hao Zhao immediately conveyed Zhao Yun's meaning to Guan Yu.

The Shandong battle is imminent, and Liu Bei, who is in Xuzhou, is likely to become the primary target of Yuan Shao's attack.Considering Liu Bei's limited strength and Xuzhou's strategic position, the emperor may arrange for Xu Huang and Guan Yu to reinforce him, hoping that they can prepare in advance and attack at any time.

Xuzhou is too far away, and the news lags seriously. It is necessary to prepare in advance and respond in time.

After hearing this, Guan Yu asked back, "Isn't the Son of Heaven going to go east in a big way?"

Hao Zhao said that he didn't know what the emperor's plan was.This is a purely private matter, not an official business, not even Zhao Yun's order, but Zhao Yun's private entrustment.

Guan Yu was at a loss, but didn't say anything.

Since it was not an official business, it was not easy for Zhao Yun to get someone to pass on a message to him.Asking too many questions will make it difficult for Zhao Yun, so I will not give him any news in the future.

Guan Yu sent Hao Zhao and Xia Houlan away, and after thinking about it for a long time, he wrote a personal letter to Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei could keep in touch.Once something happens, send someone to contact you immediately.

He is now the captain of Jiguan, and he cannot leave Jiguan easily, otherwise he will rush to Xuzhou with his personal guards to help out.
