Villager of Daming

Chapter 71 The task of copying books and sending urgent letters (second update)
"Yichang, there is an incident. The imperial court suddenly ordered officials from all over the country to assist the people in treating livestock diseases.

This officer... only your village has a lot of livestock.

You write me a question book about raising livestock in the village, can I report it? "

Li Zhixian discussed with the head of the village during lunch, but he couldn't find any other suitable place except this Xiaqiu village.

The point is that he doesn't know. He can think that officials in other places will try their best to find people who understand livestock, and show such people to livestock in other villages.

There are such people in Xuancheng County, who specialize in looking after livestock in the livestock market.

It's just that Xiaqiu Village is even more powerful. After seeing the animals shaking their heads, they can buy them at a low price and cure them.

"It's not a problem in this village. Lizhi County has considered other villages and other counties in Ningguo Prefecture?"

Li Chang smiled and said to the other party that it would be bad luck to fool around with the errand.

After he mentioned it, Li Zhixian showed a distressed look: "It's hard work! I still have to take someone to the next village."

"Don't wait for the county magistrate." The chief put down his chopsticks and got up and went back to his house.

Not long after I came back, I had an extra notebook in my hand. It was actually a book, and it was quite thick. The paper was good paper, bound with threads.

He handed the book to Li Zhixian: "Here are some methods for the prevention and treatment of livestock diseases. You can order someone to copy it and report it to the local government."

Li Zhixian received it, and looked at the cover first, where the words 'veterinary treatment' were written.

Turning the page again, he looked at it a few times, and then he jumped in. The first thing he wrote was the army horse.

Zhu Wentian mixed the content of the two books together, but separately emphasized military horses, which are used in war.

Seeing Li Zhixian's expression, the head of the village has a sense of accomplishment.He copied this book word by word, and Hanhan had to keep the original.

After Hanhan wrote a few pages, he took them and wrote them down, copied them in the past few days, and finally bound them into a book.

"Magistrate, why don't you eat first, turn around and take it apart, and many people will copy it." The chief reminded, otherwise you can see it until night.

"Yes, yes, eat, eat quickly." Li Zhixian urged the three county magistrates.

Everyone quickly stuffed food into their mouths, and drank soup when they choked.

As a result, Zhu Wentian ate half of it, and the four officials put down their chopsticks and ran away.

I didn't come out of the room when I was having dinner at night, so the village chief went to call, and the four people who were trying to separate the transcriptions all said that they were not hungry, and they just asked to prepare a steamed bun.

"Hanhan, they don't eat, so they probably have to write continuously at night, forgetting to eat and sleep!"

The head of the village saw the dishes on the table and asked the village elder to come here.

"Soup, Gorgon, hehehehehe!" Zhu Wentian came up with an idea, eating steamed buns and drinking water would not work.

"Okay, give them Gorgon soup, hehehe!"

The chief nodded and asked someone to do it. This drink is fast and has salt.

The radish and tofu soup was delivered, which contained cucumber slices, frangipane, and thousand pieces of silk, which looked like beaten stew.

Made with perilla oil, it can be drunk even when it is cold, and it is not fishy.

In the evening, lanterns were hung in the room where the officials collectively copied their homework, and a wax table was used to avoid burning the paper.

In the middle of the night, I gave them a bowl of soup, glutinous rice refreshment soup, soup base of glutinous rice, pork meat, red bean, Atractylodes macrocephala, astragalus, ginseng slices, and chicken bones.

The officials gulped it down again, feeling refreshed, and continued copying.

At dawn, they finally finished copying a book together, each with dark circles under their eyes.

They first reordered the original ones, and put the ones they wrote in order for the time being.I need to take it back to the county and let someone copy it, they won't copy it again, tired!

Then they... go to the bathroom.

Come back to wash your face, write two copies of the question book, one is going to be sent to the palace, and the other is sent to the county seat to the prefect of Song with the copied book.

When he was about to ask someone to send it away, the head of the village took out a letter, sealed it with lacquer, and asked them to take it to the palace together.

Xiaqiu Village has always had this power, and the village head has never used it. This time, it is not necessary. It was sent from the palace with the lacquered seal.

Li Zhixian and others saw the sealing picture of the wax paint, and they knew that the matter was serious, and they did not dare to open it. Zhu Taisan and Zhu Taisi in the palace followed.

They brought a hundred servings of duck soup to the place for lunch for the prince and the others. The staple food was steamed buns.

The four yamen servants finished their meal in a hurry, and one person and two horses rushed to the county town to send the medical books quickly. It is estimated that the government officials are also worried!
Li Zhixian and others washed their hands again, and came to the enclosure where the big pot of rice was eaten, ready to go to bed after eating, they were too sleepy.

It was cold, and it was cold to eat outside, so everyone set up a pillar and surrounded it with a four-foot-high linen cloth to block the wind.

When the house is built, there will be a good place to eat big pot rice next winter.

The village will build a one-story warehouse-like dining hall with multiple doors, supported by iron bars, and a sloping roof with broken old bamboo.

The village also eats old duck soup, which is actually specially made for officials. Zhu Wentian is afraid that they will die suddenly.

Now that you have made it, make more and send it to the palace for everyone to eat together.

"Yichang, that book on veterinary treatment can be passed down to the family."

After drinking the soup, Li Zhixian felt comfortable, and talked about books, good books, whoever has learned can treat livestock, and don't worry about life.

Just like the village's previous operation, buying animals that cannot be cured by others, even if they don't raise them themselves, and reselling them after they are cured, is still a lot of money.

As a result, I just took it out for nothing, and I didn't want anything, and I felt a loss when I thought about it.

The head of the village looked up and smiled: "The Qianjin Fang is not handed down, the Shennong Bencao Jing is not handed down, the Emperor's Internal Classic is not handed down, and the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases is not handed down.

There are many more, why don't they keep the heirlooms?Our Xiaqiu Village doesn't want that heirloom either, our real heirloom is to raise the village guards well.Isn't it stupid? "

"Hmm! Hanhan, I, hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian cooperated.

"Yi Chang is right." Li Zhixian was very surprised, I was praising an expert, do you really take it as a compliment?
The topics suddenly became less and less, and they didn't have much to talk about in the daily contact, and the four of them were sleepy, so they went to bed quickly after eating.

The chief took out the censer and lit it with soothing incense, which contains frankincense and benzoin, which are very precious and imported.

This kind is usually reluctant to use, and someone in the village lights it up when he has a bad sleep. There are several prescriptions, and the cheap ones are used by the elderly every day.

Zhu Wentian continued to play with his friends, watching the planting of bamboo fungus and adjusting the materials for firing glass.

In the construction of a glass kiln made of refractory bricks, unlike other kilns, a pool needs to be installed when the glass liquid appears.

In the absence of test equipment, Zhu Wentian prepared the proportions of each material and recorded them well. When the kiln was ready for use, he would test in groups.

What he wants to use is transparent glass, the less impurities the better, the bubbles are easy to deal with, just stir.

If there is secondary air bubbles, the medicine store in the village has medicines, arsenic stones, and white ones.

Plus the potassium nitrate obtained by the reaction of nitrate and plant ash, when used together, it is a good glass clarifier.

He was playing with his friends, and the delivery ship bypassed other ships and arrived in Nanjing.

The speed is accelerated today, there is a special letter, I don't know what it is, it is urgent anyway.

Letting Lao Ya Tang forget about it, Zhu Taisan and Zhu Taisi ran with the book and the title book in their arms, and the letter in their arms.

　Ticket ticket, hey hey hey!
