Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 372 Got an idea!

"Where is it uncomfortable?"

Wearing a white coat, the chief expert, Dr. Zhao, picked up the stethoscope in a very dignified manner, and asked questions while listening. Of course, the stethoscope was also brought by Song Qingshu, but at least it solved a lot of embarrassment.

Beside the door, Song Qingshu and Xie Qiong whispered in a low voice: "After a while, the dead foreigner will be charged double the consultation fee! Just because he knows me, he will get a [-]% discount!"

"Ah? This is not very good! Dean, don't you often say that you want to hang the pot to help the world?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Qiong still had such a sense of justice that she rejected Song Qingshu's "evil" boss. Song Qingshu couldn't help scratching his head after reading it, and after a while, he made up nonsense.

"You don't know, that dead foreigner is from Portugal. The special custom of their country is that they have to spend more money than others to show their status. If you spend less, you will lose your status. In short, you just do what I say. , In the future, if there is such a dead foreigner coming here, he will be charged four times the consultation fee, which is called respecting the other party's culture!"

Mentioning this, Song Qingshu became angry. A few days before time travel, he had read a big news that a certain Korean patient recovered in a Chinese hospital, and the hospital exempted all medical expenses!

The price of this medicine has risen like a water hyacinth, and a bottle of licorice tablets has grown to ten yuan. "So poor and generous, but in the end, they still can't get someone else's account. THAAD is still deployed when it should be deployed. Samsung is recalled from all over the world. There is no China. Thinking about it, Song Qingshu is not happy.

Seeing Song Qingshu's swearing, Xie Qiong's beautiful big eyes suddenly widened, and she has such an inexplicable custom.

"Dean, is it true or not?"

"I'm the dean, how can I still lie to you? Just do what I say from now on?" Song Qingshu patted his chest again with an air of authority, and then the little girl who was fooling around went back to get some bills in a daze.

He grinned grimly at the head here again, Song Qingshu, who had found some fun, turned his head and planned to go back. Who knew that he had just walked two steps, and suddenly he came back in a jerk.

It took a long time to listen to the dead foreigner stuttering before he explained the cause of the disease.

"It's like this after a long time on the boat! The gums, subcutaneous bleeding, people have no energy, and many people died! my country's great navigator Magellan, more than 200 people got this disease and died more than 150, but the disease will be cured when he goes ashore. Magical East, do you know of any cure?"

Before Dr. Zhao could answer, Song Qingshu rushed in with a jolt, and asked Dr. Zhao in a low voice, "What's wrong with him?"

"Dean, he is not seriously ill. It seems that he is suffering from internal qi disorder caused by picky eaters. Just eat more vegetables and drink some tea." Seeing the mystery of Song Qingshu's question, Dr. Zhao quickly lowered his voice, whispering After answering, listening to Song Qingshu nodded clearly, a nightmare of the age of great navigation appeared in his mind.

"Give him a serious illness, don't prescribe medicine, I'll get it for you later!"

"Mysterious oriental doctor, what is my disease?"

Seeing where the two were muttering, the dead foreigner suddenly became a little anxious, and asked in a strange voice in his Macau dialect plus an interpreter's accent. With Song Qingshu's order, Dr. Zhao immediately took it up, coughed lightly, and pretended to be aggressive. raised his head.

"You belong to the disorder of internal qi, and the evil comes from the voice of the heart. It is said in the "Huangdi Neijing" that the qi of heaven and earth intersects, and all things are flourishing. You lie down at night and get up early, and you are insatiable with the sun. Shaoyang does not grow, and liver qi changes internally..."

This doctor Zhao shook his head and dragged the classical Chinese text, the foolish foreigner was stunned for a while, and the Song Qingshu walked out quickly again, grinning happily, and beckoned a little nurse to come over. Gave her a piece of silver.

"You, go to the market and buy some sour oranges!"

…………

He received a full amount of Portuguese silver coins of four taels of silver from the Hudson priest, and this guy still looked very happy, holding a large bamboo tube with a panacea from the East, and went out with thanks, Xie Qiong was still muttering how much After receiving two taels of silver, Dr. Zhao asked curiously.

"Dean, what kind of medicine did you give him?"

"Hehe, there is no medicine, just tea and sour orange juice. His body lacks vitamin C. Just give him more!"

Tea is considered the cheapest in the begging army, even the big soldiers drink tea every three days. Although the price of sour oranges in the market is a bit high, it is nothing to the begging army, because in Yinghuo Mountain , Song Qingshu arranged the greenhouse, used carbon gas to change the temperature, and produced a lot of fruits and vegetables against the seasons. The two together cost less than a dime. Song Qingshu was stunned. Unbelievable appearance, Dr. Zhao suddenly felt a little terrified.

This is how the dean of our family, Wan Guan's wealth, came from?sin!sin!

Two taels of silver is 300 yuan to play, and the overcharged did not get paid in the end. Instead, Song Qingshu was happy and threw another ten taels of silver to improve the lives of the whole hospital at night. Immediately he drove away from the hospital full of excitement , I returned to the Zijin Mountain Bieyuan, and began to plan meticulously.

In the next two days, Yingtianfu's already bustling street market became a little more lively, because there were more tall-nosed and dark-eyed guys on the market, some were from the West, some were from the Western Regions, and it was said that there were people from the Eagle Country and Honan Well, for China in this day and age, foreigners are still a new thing, and there is a lot of trouble, and there are even poems written by scholars to record this.

There are many beards and beards, and the big red-haired lion lives.

These red-haired lions immediately aroused the uneasiness of the Archbishop of Macau, Mr. Malgobi, who was staying at the Yingtian Cathedral. Judging from this sign, Song Qingshu seemed to have started to contact other colonial countries.

How big Jiaduobao’s business is now, even the Portuguese in Macau know that they are also fascinated by the exquisite embroidery of the West, which is why they are so greedy for Song Qingshu’s sewing machine, but the fascination is not limited to the Portuguese, Spaniards, and Dutch , the British were equally fascinated.

Especially in the Netherlands, after the Great War between Britain and the West, the status of the maritime hegemony of Spain and Portugal was quickly shaken, but the victorious country, Britain, did not seize the opportunity, allowing the Netherlands, a small colonial country originally belonging to France, to rise rapidly.

The ships of the Netherlands are lighter than those of all European countries, and the cost is lower, and the construction period is shorter. Moreover, the Dutch ships have small plywood, large belly, more cargo capacity, and faster running. Almost relying on this shoddy ship In a short period of time, the Netherlands possessed a huge fleet, which almost robbed the ocean trade that originally belonged to Spain and Portugal.

Especially in Southeast Asia, in recent years, the Dutch have been crazier than the Spanish and Portuguese colonists. Their fleet attacked Malacca, gradually vying for the control of the Strait of Malacca, and formed an alliance with China's sea tyrant. Japan On the one hand, the Netherlands has become the only country that welcomes foreign devils.

Finally, Song Qingshu came out, who seemed to intend to challenge Zheng Zhilong's sea power status. If it was pushed to the Netherlands, the situation in Macau would be even more worrying.

On October [-]th, finally, the impatient archbishop sent another invitation letter to Song Qingshu through Tang Ruowang.

It’s still the back hall of the church, this time the dishes are richer, and the priests themselves made some fish dishes, as well as the famous Spanish paella in later generations. After all, it is a sea nation, and the few dishes they made are quite depressing. Yes, let Song Qingshu's chopsticks never stop.

"Thanks to Marshal Song for his recent hospitality and his devotion to God, spending so much money to build the church, God bless you!"

But the Archbishop of Macau was unwilling to eat, he hesitated to speak several times, and finally raised his wine glass to congratulate Song Qingshu, who listened to Song Qingshu also put down his chopsticks and put down his wine glass.

"Thank you, Father, for your kind words!"

"Well, Marshal, I plan to leave for Macau tomorrow. The distance between Macau and Yingtian is long and hard-won. I don't know what you think about the deal you mentioned a few days ago?"

"I don't know how to exchange sewing machines!" Song Qingshu said bluntly with another squid in his hands, and the beard on the face of the archbishop of Macau suddenly twitched, and he muttered a few words in his native language in a low voice, I guess it's not a good word.

But immediately, Song Qingshu's words made him short of breath again.

"But I can exchange it with another technology! I know that the other country is good at sailing, and often suffers from a kind of scurvy that causes gums to bleed, nose to bleed, and finally the whole body to turn black and die. I have a way to prevent this disease! I plan to use this Prescriptions in exchange for a ship map!"

The eyes of the Archbishop of Macau really brightened when he heard this. No one else said it. When he came to China, he sailed for several months and suffered from scurvy. One-third of the people on the boat died. These days, although the sea can bring wealth, it really has to be fought with one's life.

However, after thinking for a moment, the dead foreigner still shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, but before coming here, the governor of the country made an explanation, and only changed the sewing machine."

Portugal began to decline these years, and the number of ships coming to the east began to decrease, only one or two a year, so this good cure for preventing scurvy was not too urgent for them.

But they don't need it urgently, which doesn't mean they don't have urgent needs. Song Qingshu doesn't have to fight against food anymore, and leaned on the chair with a smile.

"The other country doesn't need it? It's a pity, so I have to make this deal with the Dutch!"

Malegoby was shocked again when he heard this.

If scurvy is solved, the number of manpower invested overseas by the West will at least double!Now is the time for the Netherlands to expand in an all-round way. The overseas colonies of Spain and Portugal have become precarious. If they are allowed to have more people, then the Archbishop of Macau suspects that he will be kicked by the Dutch in a short time. Go out, go back to Rome and continue to pray hard.

"Marshal, now I really doubt if you are the incarnation of the devil!"

With white sweat on his forehead, the old ghost finally spread his hands on the table in a very sad way.

"make a deal!"
