The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 272 Dried fish made great contributions, Zhang Zhongjing visited Jiangling County
Where had Zhang Zhongjing's disciples seen this?

This kind of food is so exquisite. It looks very sophisticated. It is packed in a wooden box, which looks very high-end.

Zhang Zhongjing's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the box and poured out the dried fish. He looked at the wooden box, which had two layers that could be pulled out.
"This box is very suitable for storing some medicinal herbs. Some medicinal herbs need to be well preserved to be effective. Look for another box like this. I'll pour out everything inside and use it to store the herbs!"

He didn’t care whether it was dried fish or not, but Zhang Zhongjing was very satisfied with the box produced in Jiangling.

If there were tens of thousands of boxes, then I would have somewhere to store my medicinal herbs.

The disciples ate the dried fish and hurriedly looked for the box.

I actually found a few more.

The box is nice, but the dried fish tastes better.

A disciple stuffed a mouthful of food into Zhang Zhongjing's mouth. Zhang Zhongjing didn't care at first, but he frowned the next moment. It turned out to be spicy. After eating it, his mouth felt hot!

Then my body started to heat up.

Spicy!

It is not a good taste at this time and is almost treated as poison.

"It tastes spicy, dispersing, and can relieve exterior symptoms. Hey, this fish is sweet. This spicy and sweet taste is very particular. There is a way to use it as medicine. There is also a science to these fish meats."

"Sir, what is the knowledge of fish meat?"

"You don't understand. The five flavors are also medicines that can cure diseases."

Zhang Zhongjing said, "These things were sent by Liu Lin. Do you know where they are produced?"

A disciple pointed out the typo on the box and said: "Sir, there are two characters Jiangling on the box. I guess it is Jiangling."

As for other characters, I don’t know them, they are all typos.

Zhang Zhongjing was stunned and smiled: "It's quite interesting. It seems that I really need to go to Jiangling to have a look. There are great medical experts there!"

Zhang Zhongjing left as soon as he said he would, and immediately took his disciples to Jiangling. In a few days, they arrived at the Yangtze River. He looked at the river water first and frowned!
Then he saw the opposite side of the Yangtze River. Just one look and Zhang Zhongjing was dumbfounded. There was a dam built on the opposite bank of the Yangtze River, stretching left and right along the Yangtze River like a giant dragon.

He could see it clearly from this side, and he wondered how magnificent it would be if he saw it from the opposite side.

What Liu Lin said turned out to be true!
He waited for half a day but saw no boat going to the other side. Just as he was planning to find a way to ask the nearby nobles for help, he saw a group of people running towards the river with their children.

A large group of people were standing hand in hand by the river, waiting for something. It felt very strange. These people were carrying bags and some of them were carrying their elderly mothers.

Are you just trying to escape famine?
"Where are you going? There is no war in Changsha!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhongjing looked like an immortal, the common people were very friendly. An old man laughed and said, "Let me cross the river and become a commoner."

What does it mean?
Zhang Zhongjing was confused.

Seeing Zhang Zhongjing was confused, the man laughed and said, "The lord of Jiangling County across the street has distributed land and houses, and also given money. Just go over and give it to us. We have already made an appointment. We will go over to Jiangling today and live a good life as ordinary people."

"Changsha is not good?" "Changsha is great?" The old man laughed and said, "It is much worse than the other side. I have never seen such a lord. The people on the other side have a good life now. They have work to do every day and can earn copper coins. The tax is only 10%. There are many rules, but it is right to abide by other people's rules in order to live a good life."
"It's a pity that we don't have Jiangling's boundary marker here, otherwise I would have stolen one too!"

"Stealing the boundary marker?"

"Yes, you don't know that the boundary marker of Jiangling on the opposite side is being stolen every day. People are going crazy. I am the village chief. I wanted to make a boundary marker for Jiangling myself, but I think I'll give up. I'm afraid Han Xuan will kill me. It's better for me to take the whole village to the opposite side. A boat will come to pick us up soon. I see you want to cross the river too. Let's go together later!"

Zhang Zhongjing nodded. If this was the case, then these people were refugees. Would the local government allow this?

"The local authorities aren't chasing you?"

"What's the point of chasing? We are already at the Yangtze River. This is Jiangling's territory. There are Jiangling navy on the river. They patrol every day. The local government officials and nobles are there. If they make things difficult for us, we can wait for the people in my village to become Jiangling soldiers and come back to deal with them."

The old man said proudly: "I have been preparing for a month to go to Jiangling!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a fleet passing by on the river. The old man immediately became excited and waved his hand quickly. Several young men held up white cloth and waved it vigorously on the river bank. When the fleet on the river saw it, they rowed over quickly.

After the boat docked, a group of soldiers came down. They didn't even look at the civilians. They first dispersed and looked around alertly. Then a general looked at the old man.

Gan Ning chewed some dried fish and looked at the old man with a depressed look on his face. "Zhang Da, how many people are you talking about? How many people do you have? There are almost 300 of them, right?"

"General Gan, they are all villagers!"

“There are so many villagers in your village?”

"There are relatives." The old man quickly took out a string of copper coins and gave them to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning said angrily: "You know the rules of our army, you are not allowed to take the people's things, but you still gave me money. You knew I would not take it, but you still gave me money. Your mind is really shameless!"

The old man chuckled and said, "I gave it to you because you didn't want it, General. You can't blame me. I mean it. There are a few more people this time, but they are all relatives. How can I bear to leave them here to suffer?"

"The Military Headquarters doesn't have enough space to accommodate you!"

"We don't need the military headquarters to accommodate us. We can build our own houses. We are grateful that you are willing to accept us. We can't take advantage of you. I will work, farm, and build my own house. As long as we can cross the river, that will be fine!"

Gan Ning waved his hand and asked these people to get on board. There were too many people, and it might take several trips.

The old man talked to Gan Ning.

"You are a boatman, a craftsman that Jiangling is in urgent need of. That's why I am willing to accept you. You are a special talent of Jiangling!"

"I understand, General, you said it."

"I still need to tell you about your treatment. We don't bully the common people. When you arrive in Jiangling, you will have to join the army. You will get fifty copper coins a month as military pay, and the treatment of a sergeant. The military office will give you a yard. There are four people in your family, and you will be given fifteen acres of land and five acres of forest land. The tax is 10%, and you will get a dog, two chickens, and two ducks. If you want a cow, you can earn it yourself!"

Awesome, Luo Yuan really can’t afford it.

Gan Ning patted the old man's shoulder and said, "Make it clear to your people that the chickens and ducks must be returned to the Military Command next year. This year I'll give you two, and next year I'll return two. This year's chickens, ducks, eggs, and duck eggs are all yours. In the future, you can sell your chickens, ducks, eggs, and chicken feathers to the warehouse. The Military Command will buy them all."

"You want chicken and duck feathers? What can you do with them?"
