Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 630 Water Wheel Model
Wang Pingan looked at his appearance and thought: "I'm a little happy, but I still shake my head, which means that the condition has not improved much! The medicine I prescribed for him is quite expensive, and it will be very difficult for him to afford it." , won’t you stop taking the medicine?”

He asked: "Is it just that the condition has eased, and there is not much improvement? You won't stop the medicine for Mrs. Du because you don't have enough money?"

Boss Du hurriedly said: "No, of course I didn't stop the medicine. You paid a lot of wages these days, and the villain has been taking medicine for the bitch. It's just that she still can't get out of bed, still..."

Wang Pingan frowned and said, "It's still the same, don't hesitate."

Boss Du had no choice but to say: "It's still hot flashes and night sweats, just like before."

Wang Pingan hissed, and asked again: "What about the wheezing and coughing up blood, has it improved?"

Boss Du still shook his head, and said: "I haven't seen any improvement, but it hasn't gotten worse either. This is quite gratifying for the villain. As long as the condition doesn't get worse, you can take care of it slowly and you will get better."

Wang Pingan thought: "That's not necessarily true." He asked again: "Others, is it possible that there is no sign of improvement? Don't hide anything. The more specific you are, the more I can give you a prescription for the disease. !"

Boss Du blushed slightly, a little embarrassed, but he still said it out, and said: "I haven't seen any improvement in other things, but menstruation has come. Is this a sign of improvement?"

Only then did Wang Pingan heave a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "You are a real person. Why didn't you say this earlier? It made me think that I made a wrong prescription. The prescription is very expensive. If you keep using it wrongly, you will bear the burden." Sorry. You treat me as a doctor now, don’t treat me as a governor, let’s talk about it, what are the other signs?”

Boss Du thought about it for a while, finally shook his head, and said, "I can't see anything else."

Wang Pingan snorted, but said: "A single menstruation is normal, which proves that the prescription has some curative effect. This proves that Mrs. Du's body is slowly recovering. It's just that the illness has been dragging on for too long, so there is no obvious symptoms for a while. improvement."

He stood up, asked the servant to prepare the horse, and said to Du Lao: "Come on, I will go to your house with you. First, I will see Mrs. Du's doctor. Second, you will find the carpenter in the village you need. I want to have a look." They, the matter of building a waterwheel is very important, and I have to see people with my own eyes to be at ease."

Boss Du hurriedly said: "Okay, you are satisfied with the person the villain found, but I still have to ask you to go to see the doctor in person, the villain is really sorry."

Wang Pingan waved his hand and said, "I'm really sorry that I didn't see Mrs. Du well!"

They left the governor's mansion, called the Ouyang brothers to protect them, and a group of people rode to the small village by the river.When they arrived in Xiaocun, Wang Ping'an and the others dismounted, but they saw Boss Du sitting on the horse's back with a painful expression on his face, and he couldn't get off.

Ouyang Liqi said: "Brother Du, what's the matter with you?" He stepped forward to support Boss Du and helped him off the horse.

Boss Du looked embarrassed, and said: "I used to ride a horse when I was a child. Although it has been almost 30 years, I think I can still ride a horse as usual, but I don't want to be hurt by my butt!"

Everyone laughed when they heard it, Ouyang Li patted him and said: "Ride a few more times in the future, and get back the feeling from before!"

Wang Ping'an also smiled and said, "Yes, it's good when you're familiar with it. When I first started riding a horse, my ass was also pierced to death!"

They were talking outside the village, but a large group of people ran out of the village, there were dozens of them, almost the whole village ran out.The villagers have long known what Wang Pingan did to them, and they are grateful in their hearts. Every time Wang Pingan visits the Xiaoliang River, they will follow for a while. It seems that they can get great psychological satisfaction just by looking at Wang Pingan.

Wang Pingan smiled and bowed to them, while Boss Du called several people, all of whom were carpenters in the village, and according to him, all of them were good hands.Because their village has no land, it is difficult to support the small family by renting and planting other people's land, so almost every family knows some handicrafts to make a living. They are much better than their peers, but they earn much less money, and employers often look down on them.

Du Lao said: "Brothers, come to my house to talk. I have something to tell you." He named the names of five villagers.

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "It seems that there are quite a few carpenters who know how to do carpentry. I think you might as well change your village's name to Luban Village in the future."

Boss Du was overjoyed, thinking that this was the name given by the governor, and the villagers also thanked him repeatedly, saying that the village will be called Luban Village in the future.

After going to Boss Du's house, after entering the house, Wang Pingan saw that Du's sister-in-law was still lying on the bed. Although she was still very weak, her expression was much stronger than last time.

Wang Pingan sat by the bed, smiled and patted Du's sister-in-law's arm lightly, telling her to lie down so she didn't have to get up to greet her.He asked, "Sister-in-law Du, have you been taking medicine these days?"

The sister-in-law of the Du family already knew that the young man in front of her was the biggest official in Gyeongju city. She heard what her man said, and this adult also found a good job for her man, a good job that could pay a lot of money.

She was grateful in her heart, and whispered: "Little lady... Your Excellency..." She was so excited that she couldn't say a complete sentence.

The villagers gathered around the door, and there was a child lying on the window sill, they all said: "Miss Du's family, get up quickly, after taking so much medicine, why is it still not getting better!"

Wang Pingan glanced at them and said, "Be careful, her disease is contagious, be careful that you can get this disease too!"

Unexpectedly, the villagers were laughing and fearing no one, and some said humanely: "If you want it, you will get it long ago. The Du boss and his family have no one except Du's wife!"

The other villagers also said yes, saying it was all right.

Wang Pingan shook his head, ignored them, picked up the wrist of Mrs. Du's sister-in-law, and signaled her pulse.After a while, after taking the pulse, I did other checks.

Wang Ping'an waved his hand because of the question about menstruation, "If you have nothing to do, go back to your own home. Boss Du closes the door."

Boss Du quickly agreed, sent the villagers away, and asked the five skillful carpenters to wait in the yard. He turned around and closed the door, and stayed by the bed.

Wang Pingan said to Du's sister-in-law: "Boss Du is unclear. He only said that you have menstruation, but he didn't say what it is. I think he doesn't understand. I want to ask you, the time is right, and before you get sick, Is there a difference?"

The sister-in-law of the Du family was a little embarrassed, but she also knew that she was seeing a doctor for herself, so she said a few words softly.Wang Pingan nodded. In fact, there was nothing to hide from, just seeing a doctor.Du's sister-in-law's menstrual situation can reach the situation when she was just sick, but it is still abnormal. It can only be said that she is recovering.

After hearing this, Wang Pingan said, "Don't use the original prescription, I want to change it." He called Ouyang Li, took out the pen and paper he was carrying, and prescribed the prescription again.

The new prescription is roughly the same as the previous prescription, except that the Artemisia annua in the original prescription is removed, and the bark of Moutan and Cortex Digustifolia are added.

After prescribing the medicine, Wang Ping'an said, "Boss Du, the medicine for your lady's disease can't be considered cheap, there is no way, this kind of disease... how should I put it, it belongs to the disease of the rich and the poor, and the ordinary poor really can't afford it, and the cost is too high. Fortunately, you now have a good job and earn a lot. If the big waterwheel is completed, I will give you some bonuses, not only enough to treat your wife, send your children to school, and buy a new house. There are enough fields, so you must build a waterwheel well!"

He handed the prescription to Boss Du, and said, "Talk about this in private with those people outside, let them understand that working for me is of great benefit, don't be lazy, and don't leak the blueprint , at least within this year, absolutely not, if it leaks out, I will definitely investigate!"

Boss Du held the prescription in his hand, and said: "The villain understands, and the villain will definitely watch over them. Don't worry, sir, everyone in our village can trust them."

Wang Pingan hummed, and said: "The matter is very important, I have to remind you one more thing, and I don't believe you." He turned his head and said to Mrs. Du's sister-in-law: "The new medicine I prescribed for you can cool the blood and relieve steam. Judging from your current situation, after taking about ten doses, you will be fine."

The sister-in-law of the Du family said: "Ten, ten doses will heal?" She felt sorry for Qian. The disease dragged on and brought down the whole family. Sometimes she really wished she could die quickly.

Wang Pingan said: "I will see you well, but this disease is not easy to cure, and the prescription may have to be changed again. When you take the new medicine, you feel that the food tastes better, and your appetite increases, then you will be fine. Increase the dose until your hot flashes and night sweats disappear, and I will show you, then it will not be too late to change the prescription."

Having said that, he glanced at Boss Du again, and thought: "The cost of prescriptions and recuperation will become more and more expensive in the future. If you don't work hard, I'm afraid that no matter how much I pay you, you won't be able to afford it." My wife's illness can't be cured either!"

Tuberculosis is like this, and it costs a lot. There was once a very famous Japanese movie "Twilight Kiyobei" about this disease. The wife got sick, even if the husband was exhausted to death, it couldn't be cured, and the family was very poor.

Wang Pingan stood up and said, "Let's go out and talk, let Mrs. Du rest!" He left the room.

The carpenters outside were squatting on the ground talking, when they saw Wang Pingan coming out, they stood up quickly.Wang Pingan first asked Boss Du to explain the whole story in general.In fact, the carpenters had heard the news for a long time. The governor always inspected along the river. Even if no one told him, they could still guess one or two.

After finishing talking, Wang Pingan took out the drawings and showed them.To his surprise, when the carpenters looked at the drawings, they immediately said that this is not the same as a car overturned. Although it is bigger, it is not difficult to do from the carpenter's point of view. There is no difficulty in craftsmanship. With this blueprint, it can be made directly.Especially an elderly carpenter, even said that he had built overturned cars before, and he still remembers how to build them!

Wang Ping'an was amused when he heard it. It seems that these people are no worse than Boss Du. Not only are their eyesight not weak, but they even have experience in building overturned cars!

He said: "The overturned car you mentioned, I call it a keel waterwheel, and this new waterwheel, I call it a safe waterwheel. I can't trust others, but I can trust you. I believe you will definitely be able to." I will give you a lot of rewards for building this kind of waterwheel, and let you all live a good life!"

The carpenters were overjoyed and kept saying they didn't dare, they just wanted to have enough food to eat.

Wang Pingan used the means of the ministers in the court to ask the names of the carpenters one by one. He even patted each of them on the shoulder and said countless times, I believe in you, you will do it!The carpenters were so moved that they almost burst into tears, and they all patted their chests and promised that they must build this kind of waterwheel to repay the governor's kindness.

Wang Pingan encouraged him, and asked Ouyang Li to withdraw the money and distribute it to the carpenters so that they could settle down in their homes. Only when their homes were safe, could they concentrate on building waterwheels.

After leaving the small village, Wang Pingan returned to the city.

Once the enthusiasm of the people is stimulated, the value created will increase exponentially.But only two days later, on the third day, or the morning of the third day, Boss Du ran to the governor's mansion, and lifted out the waterwheel model he had built from a wooden box.

When Wang Pingan saw the waterwheel model, he felt unbelievable. It was simply a handicraft. Although it was not painted, it did not have any wood thorns.

This waterwheel model is completely scaled down according to the scale of the big waterwheel. Not only is the waterwheel beautifully made, but even the trough frame how to fix it on the river bank is extremely delicate, which is almost similar to the handicrafts used by modern people in fish tanks. , and even more refined.

Wang Ping'an was overjoyed, and immediately asked someone to move the model to the garden and put it on the edge of the pond. He squatted down himself and pushed the water with his hands. With the sound of splashing, the model turned, and the pool was lifted to the shore!
Boss Du squatted beside him, and asked nervously, "Master, are you still satisfied? Little people have never made this thing before. This is the first time. I don't know how effective it is. Can you satisfy the adults?"

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "It's the first time to create this effect, which is already very good." After a pause, he asked: "If it is built into a big water truck, will the effect of lifting water be different?" Change?"

After all, a model is a model, and whether it can be really practical requires careful study.

Boss Du nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "No problem, in fact, when the little people were building this... this thing called a model, they found a lot of things that could be improved, but the time was tight, so they didn't directly modify it. It can be used when building a large waterwheel."

Wang Pingan smiled and said, "Okay, that's great. But, you have to remember that any improvement must be recorded in detail and drawn on the drawings, and must not be seen by outsiders, understand?"

Du Lao said: "Yes, the villain will definitely do it. Don't worry, my lord, you have asked me so many times, the villain will naturally not talk about this matter to outsiders, and I will definitely not leak the blueprint."

They squatted by the pond and watched the model lift water. The more they looked at it, the more they loved it, as if they saw the big harvest in Gyeongju.At this time, someone came to report that someone from Chang'an had come.
