  Chapter 9 Unveiling

  Wake up early in the morning, boil water to wash up, and after eating a simple breakfast, Li Ang asked Chai Cuiqiao to take care of the house, while he went to the east of the city with five hundred Wen.

  The shortfall of 109 guan is not a small amount, and it is definitely not possible to save it within 20 days when opening a medical clinic normally, so other methods must be used.

   For example, reveal the list.

  Li Ang walked through the traffic, came to the other side of the Yunzhou Bridge, and stood in front of a wooden notice board that was one person tall and one foot wide.

On the notice board, there are neatly arranged yellow papers. The specifications of each paper are mostly similar. The reward is written on the top, and the detailed description is in the middle. address etc.

   This notice board was set up by the Weizhou government, and it is usually guarded by government servants in turn. Those who can post rewards on it are all government departments, or scholars with status, wealthy businessmen, and guilds.

  The rewards issued in the name of individuals are posted on a smaller wooden notice board next to them. The content ranges from recruiting experienced boatmen, selling tiger skins, to selling fruits, candies, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

   Li Ang had already visited yesterday. Standing in front of the wooden notice board, he took a step without hesitation, reached out and reached for the tallest piece of yellow paper on the notice board, and tore it off.

   The diners who were eating breakfast at the food stalls at the bridge head cast curious eyes and whispered.

   "That's the reward posted by the Muzhou pastor, right?"

"Yes, it is said that one hundred army horses are sick and have eye diseases. A reward of one hundred crowns is offered for a cure. It has been hanging on the bridge for more than half a month. This is the second time someone dares to expose it. He is still a teenager. Lang."

   "Second time? Then someone exposed it last time?"

   "The last time the list was released was a wandering doctor from other places. He cooked more than a dozen pots of medicine, but failed to cure one army horse. Instead, he killed two horses. The angry herdsman almost broke his leg."

  Accompanied by the whispered conversations of the diners, the two government servants who had breakfast there also heard the movement, and turned to look at the wooden notice board across the road.

   Li Ang was standing under the notice board, holding the reward list in his hand, with a calm face.

  The two yamen servants looked at each other, took out a few copper coins and threw them on the food stall table, and walked towards Li Ang.

  The older yamen servant cupped his hands, "I don't know who Mr. Xiaolang is."

   Li Ang cupped his hands and said, "I'm Li Ang, a physician from Baoantang Pharmacy on the other side of the river."

   "Baoan Tang?"

  The younger yamen servants showed doubts and dark colors, while the older yamen servants were a little surprised, as if they had heard the name of Baoan Tang, "Is Li Hanquan your father?"

  Li Ang nodded, "It's my father."

  The young yamen servant asked: "Brother Wang, do you know him?"

   "No, it's just that my brother went there to get medicine."

  The yamen servant surnamed Wang waved his hand, frowned and looked at Li Ang carefully, "Young Lord, it's not something you can joke casually about revealing the list. It's okay if you don't get things done. If you mess things up, you might even have to face a lawsuit."

   "Thank you for the kindness of Wang Yamen, but I am sure. Gai Shengling's eye disease, severe pain, mostly belongs to positive syndrome; mild pain, mostly belongs to false syndrome.

  If the eye pain is unbearable, the face is red and the eyes are red, the mouth is bitter, and the person is irritable and irritable, it is caused by inflammation of the liver;

  Conjunctival redness, swelling and pain, shame and swollen eyes are the symptoms of wind-heat evil ascending, most of which are explosive fire eyes or sky-moving red eyes;

  If the eyes are slightly red and slightly painful, and the pain stops at times, and the person feels dry, it is mostly caused by yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire. "

   Li Ang said calmly: "It's the same with people, and it's the same with horses. As long as I see the symptoms, I can prescribe the right medicine. Please lead the way, both of you."

"this"

  The young yamen servant showed hesitation, while the older yamen servant groaned. He glanced at the firm expression on Li Ang's face, and said nothing more. Under the curious eyes of the onlookers, he turned and led the way.

  The Supervisor of Animal Husbandry is located in the south of Ganzhou City, not too far away, and the three of them arrived soon.

   Li Ang and the young yamen waiter were waiting outside the Mujiansi. The old yamen went in to report, only to hear a pleasant voice from inside the courtyard wall, "He's here? Where is it?"

   Tap, tap, tap.

  Footsteps came from far to near, and a fat man with a wide body, red eyes, disheveled hair, and red blisters at the corner of his mouth hurriedly stepped out of the threshold in a dark blue official uniform.

   "Xun Jiancheng."

  The elderly yamen servant trotted up from behind, cupped his hands at Si Cheng, the supervisor of Muzhou, introduced Li Ang, and said, "This is Li Ang, the pharmacist of Baoantang who unveiled the list."

   "You? Pharmacist?"

Xun Jiancheng was still looking at the door, and when he heard the words of the yamen servant, he turned his head to look at Li Ang, who was holding a yellow paper to offer a reward under the threshold, first a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then the astonishment turned into anger, "How do you find someone Children come over?

  It’s over, it’s over, this time it’s really over.”

  He sighed, leaning against the door frame, without the air of a proper official.

War horses are an important strategic resource of the State of Yu. In order to obtain a sufficient number of war horses, the State of Yu established a pastoral supervisor system. In some prefectures, according to local conditions, three levels of pastoral supervisors were set up to raise war horses and herd horses. , pack horses, and even cattle, sheep, mules, donkeys and other livestock.

  The grades of local animal husbandry supervisors are only related to the local grassland conditions, climate conditions and other factors, and have nothing to do with the state capital grades.

After improving the breed of war horses and optimizing the horse breeding strategy in Xuegong, the animal husbandry scale of various local animal husbandry supervisors has increased. Mare, stallion.

Most of these horses are kept in the pastures six miles south of Weizhou City. A month ago, the shepherd in charge there reported that eye diseases had spread among the horses. Being violent, he even hurt several shepherds and group leaders who were in charge of raising horses.

   It would be fine if only a hundred or so war horses were infected. With the help of the Academy, the animal husbandry and supervisors in various places have already developed sufficient strategies to deal with the various diseases spread by horses.

  Based on the total number of 1,300 war horses of the Ganzhou Animal Husbandry Supervision Department, a hundred horses died, which is still within the acceptable range-at most, it was rated as "lower middle" in the annual assessment.

   It was the fifteen rare stallions among the one hundred diseased war horses that really killed Xun Jiancheng.

   Those are some relatives who are safe and noble, bought from Zhou Guohua in the south of Yu State with a lot of money, and temporarily fostered in the Muzhou Supervisory Department!

  Each horse is worth hundreds, or even thousands of guan!

  If these precious horses died of eye disease in the Muzhou Supervisor Department, then the fate of Xun Jiancheng can be imagined.

  Xun Jiancheng thought about his tragic future of being demoted and transferred, leaning against the door frame, shaking his head and sighing.

  Li Ang got impatient waiting beside him, cupped his hands and said, "Xun Jiancheng, I don't know where the sick horse is? I have to see it first, so I can say whether it can be cured."

   "It's inside, Wang Yamen servant, you can take him to see it."

   Xun Jiancheng still looked depressed, waved his hand, and asked Li Ang to go in and see by himself.
