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

(Thanks to Linglong Chengying for rewarding the supporting actor Di Renjie with 466 starting coins~)

The sky was as dark as ink, and Duoshou's house on the outskirts of Chang'an City was quiet with only the whistling wind ringing in his ears.

Xu Jingzhen, who had only slept for more than an hour, dressed in the dark and tidied himself up, then took off the purse from his waist and put it on the table, thinking it was a thank you to Duo Shou for arranging this memorial ceremony for Fang Chengxian. money.

It must have been snowing for a long time from last afternoon to night. The snow on the ground could be as thick as a person's ankle. Xu Jingzhen quietly went to the donkey shed and led his horse out of the yard.

Xu Jingzhen turned around and took one last look at the direction halfway up the mountain through the reflection of the white snow under the moonlight. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart at this moment.

Using strength from his waist and abdomen, he jumped up and mounted the horse. Holding the reins, his legs clamped tightly on the horse's belly, facing the icy cold wind, Xu Jingzhen rode back to Chang'an alone.

Thanks to Xu Jingzhen's superb riding skills, when he arrived at Anhua Gate, the city gate happened to be wide open, and many people were waiting in line outside the city to enter the city after inspection.

"Mrs. Xu?"

Following the voice, Xu Jingzhen looked behind him, "General Zhou!"

General Zhou, who was wearing armor, said something to the young general who was also riding a horse beside him, and then rode up to Xu Jingzhen's side.

Xu Jingzhen's eyes saw from General Zhou that there were hundreds of teams behind him. In the middle of this team were more than a dozen carriages loaded with large wooden boxes.

After Xu Jingzhen thought for a moment, he thought of what General Zhou and his group of soldiers had come to Chang'an City for.

The two of them rode up to the empty space beside the city gate to chat. It was obvious that waiting in line took some effort.

"I haven't seen you for more than a year, but Mr. Xu is still so cool and bright.

Unlike me, I am three years younger than Mr. Xu. Look at my face. Tell me, my Jiao Jiao was so frightened that she cried when she saw me a few days ago. "

General Zhou started chatting with Xu Jingzhen, which shows that the relationship between the two is really good.

To be honest, there are indeed some stories here.

Because of the Afurong case, all the officials in the court agreed to send troops south to conquer the Southland. Although most of the soldiers were from the Du family army under Du Qinghui, after all, they were going south by boat, so they were naturally naval troops. More convenient.

However, let alone Emperor Wu, there were other officials in the court. How could these politicians with eight hundred scheming minds really rest assured that only Du Jiajun would go?

Therefore, most of the troops sent in the final stage were indeed the Du family army, but there were also some imperial guards who were not welcome.

After winning the first battle, they increased the output of land troops. They mobilized many soldiers from various imperial guards and the guards led by Emperor Wu himself, and asked them to go to Jiangnan East Road first and go south by boat.

After arriving in the Southland, they directly landed and fought. In just one year, the Southland was basically included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, small countries in the south sent envoys to Chang'an to meet Emperor Wu.

This time General Zhou led his troops to Chang'an because he had accepted a mission to escort some of the ores and rare treasures special to the south to present to Emperor Wu.

As for why General Zhou has such a good relationship with Xu Jingzhen?

This is because when General Zhou was sent to fight in the south, it was Xu Jingzhen who was the associate director of the Ministry of War at the time who sent General Zhou supplies, military supplies and military pay.

You know, the battle is all about logistics.

In particular, many soldiers from the North were very unaccustomed to the climate in the South and fell ill a lot. At that time, thanks to Xu Jingzhen, he managed to coordinate a large amount of medicinal materials from Lingnan East Road, which was closest to the South. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people would have died. Come.

Therefore, General Zhou always remembered this part of the favor.

In the next two years, the relationship between the two has always been good, a relationship where they would give New Year's gifts. Xu Jingzhen, who has a beard, must have a fresher and more beautiful face than General Zhou who is exposed to the wind and sun. This is something that a rough guy like General Zhou is very envious of.

Xu Jingzhen smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, "But as the New Year is approaching, are there any tributes sent over there?"

General Zhou shook his head, "That's not true, it's just a rare item that should be delivered according to the day.

As for the tribute part, although it is not under my control, I heard that it will be here in the next few days. "

The two chatted for a few more words and then ended the conversation.

Xu Jingzhen rode into the city on horseback. After entering Chang'an City, Xu Jingzhen, who was standing at the gate of Anhua, looked back and saw a green-robed official in a sedan getting off the sedan and running hurriedly in the direction of General Zhou.

After returning to Chang'an City, Xu Jingzhen didn't even return home, but went directly to the Ministry of War to be on duty.

Near noon, when Xu Jing, who had been reading all kinds of official documents all morning, really wanted to get up and take a few steps to move around, an official led a eunuch in the clothes of a chamberlain and walked in.

"Mr. Xu, the saint has summoned you to come to the palace immediately to discuss matters!"

By the time Xu Jingzhen walked quickly into the large square outside Tai Chi Palace with his long legs, there were already four people around him.

Not to mention him, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who had been coordinating the expedition to the south. The person in front of him was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the two beside him were the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and the minister of the Ministry of Works.

Behind the three of them was Dr. Ning Zhenglai from the Imperial Medical Office.

Xu Jingzhen was thinking, maybe there is some big news coming from Nandi?

So, the saint found so many people to come to the palace to discuss matters?

After several people entered the Tai Chi Hall, they were led to the side hall by the chamberlain.

As soon as Xu Jingzhen entered, he saw a dozen officials in scarlet robes sitting at the front. He took a quick glance and found that almost all the people from the three provinces and six ministries were there.

Moreover, the people here are all the chiefs of each department, the kind who can make decisions.

Xu Jingzhen quickly found the location of the Minister of the Ministry of War. The Minister of the Ministry of War saw Xu Jingzhen coming and handed him the brochure he had handed out earlier.

Xu Jingzhen bowed and quickly took it, took a step back, found a chair and sat down, and started reading.

As soon as the book was opened, the first thing that caught the eye was a beautiful hairpin in small regular script. Xu Jingzhen continued to look down. This was a letter jointly written by two female officials to the saint.

The person who wrote the letter was Jiang Yiyun, a fifth-rank female official close to Emperor Wu, and the co-signer was Bi Qionglan, a sixth-rank female official of Sinong Temple.

The excerpt is written about the results of the two people's experimental farming in the South. Bi Qionglan improved seeds and farming methods, taught people to cultivate intensively, and was assisted by the curved shaft plow and columbine improved by the Ministry of Industry Langguan (Chang Siyuan). .

Two of the most important ones are: First, Jiang Yiyun proposed and successfully experimented with the composting method, which can increase yields in high-quality fields by 30%!

Second, after adding the above three, three crops a year in the south is not a dream, and the final yield is so great that it is unimaginable!

In the end, Bi Qionglan and Jiang Yiyun meant to ask the saint to send troops and people to make the Southland the granary of the Tang Dynasty forever!
