Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 2300

General Guo was preparing for the next expedition. When he heard the porter report Zhou man asking for an interview, his first intuition was that he was missing.

But thinking that she just came back from the outside, maybe she really found out the formula of cowpox. It's really important. As Anxi Duhu, he really needs to be informed, so he pressed his temper and said, "please come in."

Man Bao only comes with Mr. Zhuang Baishan. Others are not happy to see General Guo's old face.

General Guo picked up his tea and drank half a cup. Hearing Zhou man's intention, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "has Lord Zhou found a prescription?"

Man Bao said, "there's no specific prescription. After all, the legendary far west country doesn't know how far it is, and the Kucha area is uneasy. It's difficult for us to get through, but we also know some steps, so we want to have a try."

Man Bao said, "we didn't know everything when we tried the human pox method in the capital. Didn't we also try it out? We are also very confident in this vaccinia method. "

She had confidence, but General Guo did not.

Now the battlefield is really the most tragic time, how could he let smallpox appear in Xizhou?

Once it spreads, the consequences are unimaginable.

So general Guo smiled and said, "since Lord Zhou is so confident, why don't you go back to the capital and try again? Xizhou is remote and barren in the end, and there are no many medicinal materials. Moreover, when we return to the capital, there are also the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital who negotiate with Lord Zhou. "

"Although we have confidence, we are not sure," man Bao said. "So we want to try it here. If we can't, we can continue to inquire, otherwise we can't try it back in the capital. Do we have to go all the way to the western regions?"

General Guo smiled and was about to play Tai Chi. Mr. Zhuang suddenly said with a smile: "general, don't worry. You know from the merchant you sent to the yard last time that the cowpox method exists. Since it exists, we will be able to test it."

General Guo said, "after all, it's just a legend."

"So we can't just go back with one legend," said Mr. Zhuang. "We came all the way to the western regions. We were attacked by horse thieves twice and Tubo soldiers once. We lost so many soldiers and guards before we came here. If we only get one legend and go back to Beijing, our majesty won't ask questions, and we won't have the courage to go back to Beijing."

Mr. Zhuang looked at General Guo implicitly, waiting for his decision.

General Guo sipped his lips. Zhuang Xun said it for his own sake. They must get the results here before they return to Beijing. What else can he do?

The mission has a high degree of autonomy, and your majesty has long wanted to come and ask him to give them the greatest support.

General Guo was unhappy and silent for a long time. Finally, he had to ask, "what does Lord Zhou need?"

Man Bao had only planned to ask him how many people to do the experiment, but now after seeing the confrontation between Mr. Zhuang and General Guo, she was blessed to her heart. She knew that the attitude and softness were not very useful to General Guo, but were tougher and more effective. So she smiled and said, "I want a few cows, and I want an empty place to build a house for the experiment. Of course, I also need people for vaccination experiment."

Man Bao said, "we also have a precedent. Just recruit from prisoners."

General Guo snorted and said, "most of the prisoners in Xizhou have gone to the battlefield. If they are recruited voluntarily, I'm afraid no one will respond."

Bai Shan smiled and said, "although vaccination may die, they will also die on the battlefield. If they don't want to, they can give more silver in addition to exemption from punishment."

To put it simply, silver is not enough. They all protect the house?

General Guo thought of something and said, "Lord Zhou doesn't know that Anxi is fighting now and can't even get together the military expenses. Where can there be so much money to recruit prisoners?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the jade cup in his hand. It is said that General Guo, who is inlaid with gold and jade even in the military account, would cry poor?

But Bai Shan quickly said, "adults just help us recruit. We can't do things like exemption, but we still have some money."

He said, "there are still some silk cloth we brought from the capital, and the quality is not bad. If they are willing, I will give them a silk cloth whether they live or die."

"Life, things are naturally sent to them. If they die, whether they want to be buried or sent home, we can do it for them." Bai Shan said, "I will prepare a thick coffin for them."

General Guo choked. Ordinary people may feel that Bai Shan is cursing or swearing, but General Guo knows that this is really an obsession for these prisoners.

Many prisoners exiled here want to settle down, but who prepares coffins for them?

It's good to die in prison. At least we can dig a pit and bury it with a straw mat. If we die in the battlefield, those who have time to collect the body and bury it in the pit with everyone, and those who have time to collect the body, it's mostly feeding birds and wolves.

General Guo rubbed his forehead and nodded: "you three go back first. I'll let someone arrange it until it's arranged."

Naturally, this kind of trivial matter would not be handled by General Guo himself. He recruited an official of the capital guard and handed it over to him.

The other party secretly asked whether it was difficult to delay?

General Guo thought about it and shook his head after a long time. "Forget it, do it for them as soon as possible."

He felt that he might not agree with them. Since they appeared, he was not very comfortable. At this time, their food and grass still need to be given by the household department, and it is not suitable to fight with the boy Liu Huan.

After all, he is an elder and always cares about a younger generation. Now there are bad wind reviews outside. He really doesn't want to always be planted in the hands of the Liu family's grandparents and grandchildren, so forget it. Finish it as soon as possible and send people away as soon as possible.

At this time, General Guo didn't know that Zhou man wanted to stay here and wait for general ashner to return together, otherwise he would take back today's advice.

When he knew, they were already on their way to the war, and then sent someone back to tell the officials of the capital guard that it was too troublesome, so the matter was put down.

Of course, they don't know these manbao.

At this time, they just walked out of the capital guard. After walking a distance, man Bao said, "it turns out that he eats hard rather than soft."

Mr. Zhuang thought she was too naughty. He patted her on the head and said, "no nonsense. General Guo is an officer. How can you talk like this?"

Man Bao shrinks his neck, but when they talked yesterday, sir didn't object?

Two horses came running towards him. The people on the horse were stunned when they saw them. Then they ran over, greeted them and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou and childe Bai are back? Everything went well on the road? "

It was General Guo and general Meng. They had a good impression of them, man Bao and Bai Shan, so they also smiled and said hello, "it's going well. Where did the two little generals come back?"

General Guo said with a smile, "we just came back from training in the barracks."
