Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 251 Sea Salt Martyr (Part [-])
Chapter 256

A soft voice came from inside the bullock cart: "Zhi Niang, how many years have you been in Shangyu!"

The maid named Zhi Niang said: "My family has been in Shangyu for 11 years."

"Have you heard of Zhu Gongyuan?"

"Zhu Gongyuan?" Zhiniang thought for a while and said, "This name is so familiar, let me think about it. By the way, I remembered that the second steward of our Xie family's lower courtyard in Nanshan seems to be called Zhu Gongyuan!"

"Send someone to ask immediately, forget it, bring Steward Zhu to Dongshan Lake Lower Court to meet me!"

……

Ran Ming landed from the Cao'e River in Shangyu and passed through the fertile Ningshao Plain all the way. The Jin Dynasty's land acquisition was very serious. In addition to the four families of Jiangnan Lu, Gu, Zhu, and Zhang, there were Wang, Xie, Xi, and Yu who moved from the north. The northern gentry headed by the four major families.There are only so many dishes on the plate, and now so many gentry come to share, the situation can be imagined.

Even Shangyu, which has always been wealthy, is full of beggars and refugees.

Along the way, seeing countless naked and skinny hungry people, Ran Ming lost interest in playing.

Seeing that Ran Ming was depressed, Liu Wei tried to ask, "Husband, what are you thinking about?"

Ran Ming sighed, shook his head and said: "Xing, the people suffer, death, the people suffer!"

Liu Wei was silent.At this moment, Ran Ming's eyes fell on a dead body with flies flying around on the side of the road. It was a young body, and it looked like he had been beaten to death before he was alive.

Ran Ming was very emotional. People nowadays are too numb. They don't know that being cruel to others is actually cruel to themselves.The weather is so hot, if the corpses are not buried in time, the plague will easily breed. If the plague breaks out, God knows how many people will die.

Ran Ming rushed to Qilin Wei and said, "Go to some people and bury that corpse on the roadside!"

Several qilin guards took off their foldable engineering shovels from their horses, and dug a hole on the side of the official road.The engineer shovel was originally specially used to dig horse pits, so it was very fast. In a short while, a hole about three feet deep was dug, which could allow an adult to lie down.Just when they were about to throw the corpse into the pit, Ran Ming unexpectedly discovered that the corpse moved its fingers slightly.

Ran Ming rubbed his eyes carefully, that's right, Ran Ming's vision of people from a distance of more than ten steps will not make mistakes.

At this time, the two Qilin guards were about to carry the corpse and throw it into the pit.

"Wait!" Ran Ming jumped out of the carriage and came to the corpse. Regardless of the stench from the corpse, Ran Ming put his hand on the pulse of the corpse. Sure enough, Ran Ming felt a slight pulse beating.

"Military doctor" Ran Ming said: "Come and see if this man is still alive!"

In the era of cold weapons, the number of soldiers who died directly on the battlefield was far less than one-third of the real death rate. More than half of the deaths were found to be infected wounds after the war, and died of death.

Ran Ming originally wanted to form a medical team in the army, but unfortunately there are too few people who know medical skills in this era. Ran Ming opened a trauma department in Xueer Academy and planned to train medical soldiers by himself. It will take at least two to three years to be effective!
There are 500 people in Qilin Guard, and there are only three doctors with poor medical skills. This time, Ran Ming came to Jiangnan with a nearly 40-year-old doctor named Zhang Qilang, who is good at traumatic injuries.In fact, he is also a barefoot doctor who is not outstanding.

Zhang Qilang stretched out his hand to check the man's pulse, and after a while, he said: "Your Highness, this man's internal lungs are damaged, his internal injuries are extremely serious, and his body is also very weak. Whether he can be cured depends on his good fortune!"

Ran Ming thought for a while and said, "Do your best, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

Ran Ming asked for a carriage to be vacated for the injured man. In order to free up the carriage, Ran Ming distributed the seven or eight stones of grain on the carriage to the surrounding refugees.

Because there were seriously injured people in the carriage, Ran Ming's speed suddenly slowed down a lot.

Fortunately, they finally entered Shangyu City before closing the city gate.After entering Shangyu City, Ran Ming found a clean inn and stayed.

Seeing many refugees in Shangyu, Ran Ming was not in a good mood, so he ate dinner hastily, and went to bed after washing up!Ran Ming took off his clothes and jumped into the bathtub with suitable water temperature. At this moment, there was a slight noise. Ran Ming looked back and saw Liu Mo's eyes were dizzy and his cheeks were flushed.

"Husband wants to take a bath, why don't you call your servant to come and serve him?"

Ran Ming's mind was blank, and all the poor people of our country were thrown out of the sky by Ran Ming.

Ran Ming kept silent, just jumped into the barrel silently, Liu Mo was not timid, and put his slender hands on Ran Ming's shoulders, gently pushing and rubbing.Ran Ming turned his head and saw that Liu Mo's eyebrows were like slender green willows locked in a pool of spring water, those eyes were like a bright moon lying in the Yingying spring water, the eyes containing all kinds of emotions were so charming, looking at each other, it was like being infatuated for a moment drunk.

At this time, silence is better than sound, and any words are pale and powerless.

Ran Ming felt hot all over his body, Ran Ming was a little embarrassed, he blushed and said, "My lady..."

Liu Wei is finally a woman, with a thin skin, even if it is an old couple, she still can't do it, Liu Wei wants to say it, but it feels too embarrassing, Ran Ming feels that she needs to do it with real swords and guns To do it is to be capable, and to do a fact is more realistic than a mouth-worn, righteous and awe-inspiring sentence.

A thousand words are not as good as...actions, it is better to move your mouth than to move your hands at this time, and it is better to move your hands and mouth than to move your hands!
The following content is not suitable for children to omit [-] words.

When Ran Ming woke up early the next morning, he was in high spirits.A hearty heart-to-heart battle made Liu Wei disarm and surrender, and only then did Ran Ming feel a man's sense of accomplishment.The difference from Ran Ming at this time was that Liu Mo was very tired and couldn't get out of bed yet.

Ran Ming came to the courtyard, played Tai Chi for a while, and then heard the medical officer Zhang Qilang say: "Your Highness, that person has woken up, please see Your Highness!"

Ran Ming said: "Last night, his injury was very serious, and now he is healed?"

Zhang Qilang said: "It's too early to say good things at this time, but his serious injury and coma are mainly caused by hunger, and he will recover slowly."

Ran Ming nodded and followed Zhang Qilang into the guest room on the second floor.At this time, the one rescued last night was already lying on the bed, and his legs were broken. Fortunately, there was still time, and he was fixed by Zhang Qilang with a splint. , can only be raised slowly.

At this moment, the dirt on the young man's body has been washed away, revealing his true face. Although his nose is bruised and his face is swollen, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat delicate.

The young man was still unable to move at this time, seeing Ran Ming's anxious face, but he was gesturing very much.

Others didn't understand it, but Ran Ming did.

Ran has a unique skill, which is sign language, and they can talk to people with language barriers effortlessly.Ran Ming said: "Prepare him a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

After a while, the attendant brought in the Four Treasures of the Study.

When the young man saw the Four Treasures of the Study, his face showed joy. He took the pen, filled it with ink, and quickly started writing on the paper.

"Jurong Du Cong, thank you for saving my life, Mr. A drop of water should be repaid by a spring, and there is no way to repay my life. If Mr. does not give up, Cong is willing to lead the horse and throw the stool for the Lord!"

Of course Ran Ming knew that Du Cong was not a clerical error, the "stirrup" should be used to lead a horse and drop a stool. "Stool", a phonetic character, has a few sounds, a sign and a meaning.It's just that at this time, the stirrup was not fully promoted. Ran Ming plagiarized the stirrup from later generations, but the Chinese character was not produced accordingly.

Ran Ming gestured to Du Cong, "Why do you need to ask for repayment for your kindness?"

Indicates that Du Cong does not have to be like this.

Du Cong also discovered that Ran Ming could sign language, he threw away his pen, and stubbornly recognized Ran Ming as the master.

Ran Ming couldn't refuse, so he accepted.Ran Ming didn't know that this Du Cong was famous in history.In the later generations of the Wenchang emperor's two servants, one is in charge of the book of literati recording and transportation, and the other is holding the Wenchang seal.It means: those who can know cannot speak, and those who can speak cannot know.Emperor Wenchang was in charge of the imperial examination for articles, which was related to rich and poor, so the issue of confidentiality was very important, so as not to leak the secrets.

And these two servant boys are Du Cong and Jing Zhan!
In parallel history, he and Jing Zhan had the civil and military arms of Zhang Yu, king of Shu during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.As a wise man, Du Cong was in charge of the inside, while Jing Zhan was in charge of the outside.

Ran Ming asked Du Cong why he was injured so badly.

At this time, Du Cong's expression became much darker, with indignation flickering in his brows and eyes.

Ran Ming continued to ask in sign language: "Don't be afraid, just say it, maybe he can help!"

Du Cong shook his head.

After thinking about it for a while, Ran Ming understood Du Cong's concerns. He must have offended a very powerful force. Perhaps bringing up the old incident would bring unwarranted disaster to Ran Ming, so he refused to say it.

Ran Ming thought of this, and took off his golden letter from his waist.

"The Great Wei Jiaodong King's Seal" Du Cong's eyes widened when he saw the seal. Suddenly, Du Cong signed with excitement. "This matter should start with Sun Tai, the celestial master."

"Sun Tai?" Ran Ming is very familiar with this name. Speaking of another person, his nephew Sun En, Sun En is the leader of the Heavenly Master Taoism. He launched an uprising among the congregation in the last years of the Jin Dynasty. To put it mildly, it was an uprising. The unpleasant thing is that it is of the same nature as Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Uprising. Wherever the army passed, there was no blade of grass left, which exhausted the last vitality of the Jin Dynasty, and finally started the turmoil of more than two hundred years of opposition between the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

According to the historical records, Du Zigong, the head of heavenly master and Taoist priesthood, was still alive at this time, Sun Tai should only be in his twenties, and Sun En might not have been born yet, perhaps, Sun En was just a baby.

Ran Ming calmed down and listened carefully to what Du Cong said.

Then, Du Cong began to speak in sign language.

It turned out that due to the serious land annexation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the peasants who lost their land either became tenants, shade households, or private slaves of the gentry, or became refugees.

Class conflicts intensified, and Tianshi Tao began to recruit a large number of Taoists among the ignorant people through large-scale stage magic.Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Du Cong, but Du Cong had a friend, Haiyan righteous Wu Dingwen.
