The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 924 Home (Thanks to Jianjian's Zhangzhu for the monthly ticket~)

After much persuasion, Li Sanniang and Senior Brother Zhou were finally able to walk out of the private room of the teahouse after more than two quarters of an hour.

Li Sanniang looked up at the sky outside and hurried to where the carriage was parked. As she walked, she said to Song Fuling, "This has delayed us for quite a while. We can't make it to the West Market now.

Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow. Let’s buy some food on the way. Come on, let’s go home.

Didn’t they say that Dalang had sent a letter?
It looks like he is really coming back this time."

Yes, the reason why Li Sanniang was in a hurry to go home after her shift today was that she received a letter from the Li family at noon, saying that they had received another letter from Li Dalang, and asked her to go home early in the evening so that they could read the letter together.

Li Dalang, who was missed by Li Sanniang and the others, had now brought his brothers and followed Shi Le'an to Tianmen Port, the largest natural port in the eastern part of Jiangnan (I made up the name).

After arriving at Tianmen Port, Li Dalang had not left the boat for seven or eight days.

This was because the special forces he led had accepted a mission, which was to guard the cargo on their ship and deliver it to Chang'an City intact.

The cabin was filled with boxes of spoils captured from the South, including gold, precious spices and jewelry, as well as some treasures collected by the great tribes of the South.

Although according to convention, the captured spoils must be divided among the soldiers first, either 20%-80% or 30%-70%.

There were some greedy generals who would usually take the lion's share for themselves and let their soldiers take the remaining things. Sometimes they would split the spoils 50-50 or even 40-60.

That is to say, Emperor Wu asked Mr. Bu Ke to send the bad guys to follow him this time. Otherwise, the Shi family army headed by Shi Le'an and the Du family army headed by Du Qinghui would only hand over 30% to Emperor Wu, which could be considered as having a conscience.

After all, maintaining an army is really expensive.

Li Dalang and his brothers were on a mission in a village deep in the woods. Couldn't they take something away while killing people?
Of course this is true, but it is a common practice and human nature.

These soldiers have to worry about their lives every day. Although 80% of their military pay can be paid, it is already the highest in all dynasties.

But the casualty rate of these soldiers is not low.

That is, Li Sanniang came here and extracted high-concentration alcohol through the Bad People;

Because of the suppression of the Western Turkic rebellion, Li Sanniang urgently taught many skills to the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau's ulcer department;

There is also the hot weapon black powder developed by Du Qinghui and his gang, which is a real killer.

In this way, the casualty ratio of lower-level soldiers was reduced, but even so, being a soldier and fighting in a war is ultimately a life-threatening business.

So, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it.

Otherwise, who would follow you and kill people with a knife?
Tianmen Port, the sky is full of sunset glow.

Li Dalang stood at the stern, looking at the sky full of flaming sunset glow, his ears filled with the sounds of various slangs and tones.

There were managers shouting at the workers to be careful when unloading the goods, young women carrying baskets and softly selling dumplings, people coming to the dock to buy seafood, and bargaining with the fishermen selling goods. It was truly a lively picture of the port.

"Boss, I saw some crabs for sale, shall we buy some?"

Wang Dadan stood by the side of the ship not far from Li Dalang. He looked at the fishermen who were rowing small boats to sell seafood just caught from the sea not too close to the Fujian ship, and turned back to look at Li Dalang.

"Next," Li Dalang took out a purse from his pocket and threw it to Wang Dadan, "Let Uncle Wang go and buy some, but only half of the meal can be eaten tonight, so don't let anything go wrong and delay our work."

He accurately caught the purse thrown by Li Dalang, "Hey! Boss, it's easier for us brothers!" The evening breeze made the sea sparkle, and the last ray of sunset light was about to leave the sky, and the lights on the boat were lit.

On the deck, more than 20 people were divided into two tables. One table was eating freshly cooked crabs and other seafood while they were still hot with ginger and vinegar sauce. The other table had no seafood to eat but was eating stewed meat instead.

Those who are good at knife skills would just cut the fresh fish into slices and eat them with spicy seasoning made from ground mustard seeds.

There was no alcohol on either table. In fact, the only highly distilled liquor at the moment was the Shaodaozi from the north. The alcohol content of the remaining liquors was not high, so drinking three or five glasses would not be a problem.

However, Li Dalang acted cautiously. Not only was he afraid of drinking and causing trouble, he was also afraid that someone would put something dirty in his food and drinks.

Therefore, as long as the team he leads is still carrying out the mission, they will never touch alcohol.

However, most of the people in this team came from poor families. They were satisfied with just having meat to eat, and they couldn't enjoy the wine.

"As planned, we will enter the river from the sea tomorrow. Brothers, please be alert. When we return to Chang'an, I will treat you to a drink!"

"Boss, don't worry!"

"Boss, the brothers all know what's going on."

"Haha, we're finally going back. We've been out here for more than a year."

Li Dalang drank a sip of tea and listened to his brothers' words. He missed Chang'an even more.

Although he had returned home during this period, unlike his brothers who had not seen their family for more than a year, how could he not miss his family all the time?

"Counting the days, the letter sent from Qiongzhou should have been received by now, right?

I wonder how Liu Lang looks like now?
Is Shengnan doing well at home?

Are grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents all okay?"

With the night wind, Li Dalang's longing for home also drifted to the distant Chang'an.

In a large mansion more than 20 miles away from Tianmen Port, not only was the light on, but the air was also filled with the aroma of wine.

This place is none other than the governor's mansion where Du Qinghui, the leader of the Du family army, is located.

Most of the people here who were enjoying the dancing of beautiful dancers and drinking expensive wine were generals under Du Qinghui.

Of course, among these people there are also people like Lu Yunting who are dressed as scholars and are Du Qinghui's trusted think tank.

In fact, in addition to these two types of people, there were two other people sitting below Lu Yunting, which was really surprising.

These two people were not outsiders, but old acquaintances of Li Sanniang from a foreign land. They were the fence-sitter brothers of the Ding family, Ding Mingxuan and Ding Anbai.

It must be said that these two people deserve the title of fence-sitters. Earlier, they wanted to follow Du Qinghui to eat meat, but then they were frightened by Li Sanniang's identity as a bad person, and then they felt that Emperor Wu was the orthodox one, so they turned around and bet on Emperor Wu's side.

As a result, when the opium case broke out, the two men became so excited that they shamelessly went to Jiangnan to get close to Du Qinghui.

In Lu Yunting's words, "They are just two merchants who will not do anything without profit. It's not that they can't be used, but the ropes in their hands must be tied tightly to prevent them from betraying their master."
