Chapter 1192 Famine and Natural Disaster 352

Speaking of which, every time they had a conflict with the Ningguo people, they would always lose many men for no apparent reason.

Fortunately, this time they struck first and caught them off guard; they couldn't adjust for a while. As long as their food supply was cut off, the war would be a sure win.

After everyone left, Zhou Ting went back to the inner room and lay down, planning to take a nap.

With the enemy under siege and no major war breaking out for the time being, Zhou Ting took some time off from his busy schedule. After handling the official duties at hand, he would visit Mingyi to learn medical skills from the military doctors. Mingyi was unambiguous in his serious study. Since he wanted to learn from others, he would send Go to Shu Xiu and study hard.

There are more than ten military camps in the military camp, the oldest is in his sixties and the youngest is in his forties; they are all doctors who have learned through repeated training, with rich experience and superb medical skills.

Mingyi really wanted to please everyone, and no one could escape. From top to bottom, there were sixteen soldiers in the military camp. After Mingyi showed his attentiveness for half a month, they no longer rejected Mingyi from coming to study medicine.

At first, these doctors looked down upon Mingyi, mainly because she was too pale and too thin; they were afraid that he was a clumsy young man from a rich family who came to the military camp to play, and wanted to study medicine with them because of their temporary interest. They had to be busy every day. There are so many things to do, how can I have the time to play with the young master?

If you have that time, you might as well see a few more cases in the military, or research new prescriptions, or process the medicinal materials collected by the soldiers.

As long as there is work in their eyes, they can't stop at all. It's no wonder that they didn't like Li Mingyi at first.

Mingyi helped him, and after half a month, she neither complained about hardship nor tiredness. Even though no one in the military camp took the initiative to teach her, she did not give up. She followed him and learned how to handle the medicinal materials. She watched how others handled it, and she followed suit.

Gradually, an older Chinese military doctor saw that she was studying seriously and was not afraid of hardship and fatigue, so he relaxed and took her to study.

Since there was someone to guide her, Mingyi definitely had to climb up the pole and took the opportunity to ask Chunxi Chunmei to return to the city and buy a bunch of repairs. After all, she became a disciple and gained some medical knowledge, and then she intentionally or unintentionally pleased other military doctors. I have integrated into this group of military doctors who are busy every day.

Chunxi and Chunmei followed and learned. Although the doctors would not teach them and only let them understand as much as they could, they could learn a lot, at least they knew the habits of some medicinal materials.

"Mr. Cheng, the medicine here is ready."

Mingyi put down the medicinal materials in her hand. She was sorting the newly picked medicinal materials. After listening to Chunmei's words, she stepped forward and took a look; the water level in the pot for brewing the medicine was up and the liquid was thick.

"It's indeed good. Bring it to the teacher." These are used to make medicine and are not given to people to drink immediately.

"okay."

Chunmei smiled and sent it to Doctor Hua.

Mingyi continued to distribute medicinal materials and was very busy.

She was tired, but she lived a fulfilling life. She studied very seriously; Doctor Hua didn't intend to hide anything, as long as she was willing to learn, she would answer every question he asked.

A busy day passed and when it was getting dark, Zhou Ting came to pick her up. Seeing that she was still helping, he shook his head and stepped forward to help her pick the medicinal materials.

Mingyi looked up and saw him, smiled, "Are you done?"

"The business is done." He smiled back and asked, "What about you? How long will you be busy?"

If you really want to process all the medicinal materials like a hill in front of you, it will take you a few hours. Seeing that it is getting late, you can't continue doing it today.

Mingyi looked helplessly at the pile of medicinal materials in front of her, "These days, there are so many medicinal materials delivered every day, and they are all fresh. They have to be processed one after another. Fortunately, Chunxi Chunmei helps."

Since finding a lot of medicinal materials in the mountains, the Northwest Army seems to have turned on the switch to save money; they have been sending soldiers into the mountains to look for medicinal materials. There are many people sent out, and they know people they don't know. Anyone who looks like medicinal materials will be sent over. . It's hard work for them, picking blindly.

If there were more military doctors, it would be better to send several military camps than this. However, the entire Northwest Army only has sixteen military doctors; sixteen military doctors are in charge of the medical system of hundreds of thousands of people, and they have to be busy every day without touching the ground.

"Thank you for your hard work." Seeing the sweat on her forehead, Zhou Ting took out a handkerchief to wipe it off for her, "I asked them to send less."

"That's not possible. The military's medicinal materials are consumed a lot, and the inventory must be updated in time." He shook his head and refused, "The civil strife in the Central Plains has made it difficult for merchants to do business. Not to mention food and medicinal materials, even the raw materials for basic daily necessities are constantly rising in price. . The Northwest Army is in a situation of internal and external troubles, and military pay is already a heavy pressure on you. It’s good to be self-reliant.”

It's better than using money to buy expensive medicinal materials.

She was so busy that she was sweating, but she never complained that she was tired in front of him. She worked silently, thinking only of lightening his burden.

Zhou Ting raised his hand and gently stroked her temples, feeling a burning warmth flow through her chest.

"I'll transfer people from the palace to help." Let her rest more.

"Okay, there are a lot of people in the palace, and everyone who can be transferred will be transferred here; arrange tents for them, and let Chunxi and Chunmei help."

Make good use of manpower. Many servants in the palace have nothing to do, and they just get by with the monthly salary every month. Now they are invited to help in the military camp, and they can at least be worthy of the monthly salary.

After the decision was made, Zhou Ting took her hand and walked back without giving her a chance to refute.

"Go back to eat first and have a good sleep."

"There are still so many medicinal materials. If they are not sorted well, the workload will be heavy tomorrow." Things are done in one day, and over time, it will only become more tiring.

In such a situation, not only the mind is tired, but the body is even more tired; if you can't finish the task, you will always worry about it. If you forget about it, you will only feel anxious if you continue to do it the next day. This is mental fatigue. The reason why I feel tired is because the workload involved is too much. Instead of being like this, it is better to finish it on the same day and feel physically and mentally stable.

"Don't be afraid." Zhou Ting turned to look at An San and Chunxi Chunmei who were not far away. He said to An San: "Go and ask the guards to go back to the palace to pick up people. Anyone who is free will be transferred here; especially the family members." There are many people who are idle when they have children.”

Among the children born in the family, there are those who have a high status and are respected in front of their masters; many of the younger generations in these families do not have serious jobs, but they hold monthly records.

He was aware of this situation and had not thought much about it before, nor had he thought about dragging people into the military camp to be used as laborers.

An San could imagine the collapsed expressions of those people, "Yes, my subordinates will go right away."

After they excused themselves and walked away, only Chunmei and Chunxi followed them back to the tent to have dinner.

An San found Guard Yu and informed him of the master's decision, "So, you and Guard Li will go back overnight to find Butler Luo to mobilize manpower, and bring over everyone who is idle in the palace."

"Master Ansan, do you know why I suddenly thought of mobilizing the people in the palace to come over?" Guard Li approached and asked earnestly.

An San gave him a cold and indifferent look, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and hurry up and set off; time is urgent when you come and go. If I ask, not only will it be difficult for me to deal with, but you will also have to suffer."
