Chapter 463
Yang Yiqing tossed and tossed in Huai'an for nearly a month. He thought that he would gain a lot from copying the homes of Gan and Wang, but in the end he got nothing.Today, the peach blossom flood has gone down, and the flood in Huainan has also withdrawn.All that needs to be done now is to build the Suining River embankment and resettle the victims.

Xia Yan was responsible for building the embankment, and Huainan local officials were responsible for resettling the victims.Yang Yiqing's money has also been distributed, and the next thing he needs to do is to return to the capital and continue to urge the court to allocate the river workers and the relief money to the south.His duties as an imperial envoy have been completed, and there is no point in staying in Huainan any longer.

And after Sun Dan presided over the Suining County Examination and supervised the Huai'an Prefecture Examination during this period, there was no need to stay in the south.There is still more than half a year to go to Qiuwei in Nanzhili, so it is better to go back to the capital first.

So, including Zhang Cong, the three chief and deputy imperial envoys all set off to return to Beijing to report on their duties.

Yang Yiqing is a person who doesn't pay attention to formality, and he has something on his mind, so he doesn't want the magistrate to send him off. With an order, the fleet of imperial envoy Xingyuan will pull out the anchor immediately.Sun Dan also took advantage of it, and decided to take his boat with the wind to go north.

Early in the morning, the pier was very deserted, and few people came to see them off. Only Feng Zhen came over in person and brought a dozen jars, which contained many Jiangnan specialties, such as drunk crabs, moldy dried vegetables, etc. It is said that the Sun Mansion is a wealthy family, and there is no lack of ordinary things. The two wives in the mansion like the snacks here in the south of the Yangtze River.

Sun Dan smiled: "Could it be that you have a heart, you Zhiniang will like these things."

Speaking of the two women in the mansion, they both came from poor backgrounds.However, the two personalities are very different.Ting Lan likes luxury, so she can use whatever is expensive, and the cost of food and clothing is first-class. Just creating new jewelry every year is a huge expense.Sun Dan was a little displeased with this, and Ting Lan was also obedient. When she saw Sun Dan every day, she always put on an ordinary cotton dress to cover up the silk inside.However, the cotton sweater she wears is a famous handicraft. In terms of workmanship alone, it is already more expensive than an ordinary silk shirt.

As for Zhiniang, it is another extreme, blindly thrifty, which makes people very helpless.When eating on weekdays, I don't like big fish and meat very much, but I am very interested in the local products in the south of the Yangtze River.However, how did she know that dishes such as the stinky winter melon produced in Ningbo Prefecture are really not worth much in the local area.But once it is sent to Beijing, plus the travel expenses, it is a huge sum.It's a pity that this woman doesn't know.On the contrary, people in the political arena in the capital felt that Sun Dan's two wives were both generous.Not to mention the concubine, the main wife is even more imposing, and all food and food must be transported from the south. She is a first-class, tasteful wife in the capital.

"Madam likes it as long as she likes it. She was also a person who suffered hardships before. When I think of the hardships of Master and Madam, I feel uncomfortable." Feng Zhen sighed and said: "This red bayberry has also come down, and Madam likes to eat it too. However, there is no way to save this thing, so don't send it. Otherwise, I will go to the capital after a while. At that time, let's hurry up and travel six hundred miles by land to ensure that my wife will know the freshest."

Sun Dan smiled: "I am interested, why, you are going to the capital again in a while?"

"Yes." Feng Zhen replied: "Sir, you forgot. I have been in Dahewei for two years. When I went to the capital last time, didn't you find someone to transfer me back? This is probably going to happen. A few days ago, there was news in the army that Guo Hou intends to transfer me to Changping."

"Going to Changping, being a mausoleum guard, isn't it a little wronged?" Changping is where the mausoleum of Emperor Zhengde is located, and there was a guard stationed there.There are too many rules in the capital, so there is no way for a foreigner to be an officer at ease.Sun Dan remembered that he told Guo Xun once that he wanted Guo Xun to transfer Feng Zhen to a good place like Wanping, but he didn't want Guo Xun to do this.

"It's nothing, I've always wanted to go back to the capital and serve you nearby." Feng Zhen heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's certainly comfortable to be an official outside, but the future is limited. It's better to go back to the capital."

"That is." Sun Dan laughed: "I am very pleased that you have such self-motivated spirit."

Just about to say something more, suddenly, three people walked by in the distance.An old man, an eight-year-old child and a sixteen-year-old young woman.

Among these three people, the grey-haired old man Sun Dan knew him. He was Li Yanwen, a well-known doctor in the south, and the eight-year-old boy was his son Li Shizhen.

Sun Dan and Li Yanwen met by accident. When he went to the disaster area to inspect the county school some time ago, he occasionally felt cold and had a fever. The magistrate introduced a doctor to him. After taking a dose of medicine, he recovered.Sun Dan also read many medical classics when he was studying in Baiyunguan. Seeing that his medicine worked well, he talked with him a few times, and found that this person was a very well-trained doctor, and he was a first-class famous doctor.Hearing that his son was called Li Shizhen, I was even more horrified, so I asked carefully about the origins of the father and son.

It turned out that Li Shizhen and his son were originally from Hubei, and later traveled to Huai'an, where they happened to encounter floods in Suining and escaped their lives by chance.Seeing that there were too many victims of the disaster, and many of them were suffering from severe diseases, the two could not bear to leave, so they stayed to cook soup and medicine for the sick at their own expense.

Sun Dan was moved by Li Yanwen's personality, and gave him 1000 taels of silver out of his own pocket, asking him to buy some medicine to help him rescue the sick victims, which was a good relationship with Li Shizhen.

It is impossible for people to eat whole grains without getting sick. Although Sun Dan is in good health, it is uncertain when he will grow old in the future.Perhaps, there will be a time when they will be useful in the future.

The young woman Sun Dan who came with Li Wenyan and his son looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

When she bowed profusely and called out: "Teacher.", Sun Dan opened his mouth wide: "You, you, you, you are...Miss Fang Weifang?"

Fang Wei's eyes turned red: "I heard that my mentor is going back to the capital. I don't know when we will meet again after today's farewell. Today, my godfather came to see off my mentor, so Fang Wei came with his old man to see him off."

"Godfather, you, he..." Sun Dan pointed at Fang Wei and then at Li Yanwen, opening his mouth even wider.

"Yes, Fang Wei and his godfather were old acquaintances. Now, Fang Wei is a homeless person. Fortunately, his godfather took him in. Fang Wei has already avenged his father, and he has nothing to worry about in this life. I planned to She cut her hair and found a nunnery to spend the rest of her life. However, seeing so many sick victims in Huainan, the little girl decided to follow her godfather to practice medicine."

In fact, some time ago, she really wanted to become a monk as a nun, but after meeting Li Shizhen and his son, Li Yan heard her pulse, and smiled wryly, saying that Fang Wei could not survive because of the cold in the flood how many years.If she doesn't recuperate well, even if she becomes a nun, her tuberculosis will infect many people.It's better to stay by his side and take care of it from time to time, maybe I can live a few more years.

So, after thinking about it, Fang Wei worshiped Li Yanwen as his adoptive father and studied medicine with him.

Sun Dan sighed: "That's fine, if you have the heart to practice medicine and save people, your father's spirit in heaven will be very comforting. Originally, you disguised yourself as a man and entered my examination room. I would not dare to accept you as a student anyway." I admit it. However, I am also very comforted that you have such a heart. Sun Dan will recognize you as a disciple!"

Fang Wei's eyes were red: "Thank you, my mentor. My mentor is going to the capital. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. I don't know when I will see you again."

Sun Dan smiled slightly: "There's no need to be sad, maybe we can meet each other every now and then, I have an idea."

Fang Wei was a little puzzled: "The students don't understand."

Sun Dan: "There are so many sick victims in Huainan, the problem is a bit serious. After thinking about it for a few days, I plan to spend a sum of money to buy medicinal materials to treat people's diseases for free, and open a chain pharmacy in Jiangnan. Please ask Mr. Li and you to take care of it, so that we can meet each other every year."

Hearing what Sun Dan said, Li Shizhen, who had been silent beside Li Yanwen, suddenly said, "That's great, Daddy has spent all his savings for several years to buy medicine for patients, and he is worried that he has no place to grab money! "

Sun Dan smiled and patted Li Shizhen's head: "Shizhen, do you want to be the shopkeeper of my pharmacy?"

"No." The little guy shook his head again and again: "I don't know how to do business. I'll be a doctor like Daddy in the future."

Li Yanwen laughed, and bowed to Sun Dan: "Master Sun has such a kind heart, I thank you on behalf of the people of Huainan."

Sun Dan: "I'm going to take out 1 taels of silver first to open pharmacies in major cities in the south of the Yangtze River. I do some medicinal materials business on weekdays, and I don't take any of the income from the business. I will keep it in your pharmacy and use it to help people everywhere. Disaster victims. This pharmacy should be named "Qing Yu Tang."

"Goodness, there is more than enough to celebrate good people." Li Yanwen smiled and nodded repeatedly.

While talking, a large group of people came from a distance, they were all tough men, and they carried a lot of boxes.

Sun Dan looked over intently, but it was the members of the Cao Gang, and the leader was Wang Gu, the leader of the Cao Gang.

Wang Gu stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Master Sun, I heard that you are going back to the capital, and the villain specially woke up early to see you off."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and shouted: "Bring the things to the adults."

"Yes." A dozen or so gangsters were carrying six or seven large boxes and were about to send them to the boat.

Sun Dan hurriedly helped him up, and said: "Master Wang, you don't have to come to give me gifts. I accept your kindness. You should take the things back. I don't accept gifts from others."

"Yes, my lord is the master of Qingtian, how dare a villain send some stuff to tarnish my name." Wang Gu opened a box: "This thing is not worth much, but it has a lot of specialties."
