Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 2341

Man Baoshan and Bai Erlang saw yin or and Liu Huan at the gate of the palace. As soon as they looked at each other, they bowed their heads and followed the waiter who came to lead people into the palace.

Man Bao and Bai Shan hold something in their hands. The guards want to open it for inspection. Man Bao says, "this is the record about cowpox."

As for the box in Bai Shan's hand, he said, "this is our annual gift to your majesty and the queen."

The bodyguards took a look at them, opened the box and looked. They didn't put people in until they were sure there was no sharp weapon.

As soon as they left, the guards couldn't help whispering, "how rich."

The Chamberlain also knew that they had brought gifts to the emperor, so when he was halfway there, he whispered to them, "Your Majesty is in a good mood. Your highness King Gong and the princesses ate breakfast with you."

Man Bao immediately woke up and looked at him gratefully. Bai Shan stuffed a purse into his hand.

The Chamberlain refused. The people in the palace have received Zhou man's favor. Even if they can't use it now, they can use it in the future. Therefore, unless the master clearly says to embarrass each other, they won't want to embarrass Zhou man.

Bai Shan could only take back his wallet and followed the waiter all the way to the Tai Chi hall.

The emperor was not in the main hall, but in the back study.

As soon as they entered, man Bao found that Gong Wang was also there. He was sitting on a table writing. Man Bao glanced at them and felt that he must have been punished for writing.

Prince Gong also looked up at them and then lowered his head to continue writing.

The five also quickly took back their eyes and knelt down to salute the emperor.

The emperor raised his eyes from the desk and glanced at them. When he saw the two boxes on the ground, he hummed, "it's very fast. I thought I'd call in the morning and I might see you in the evening."

Man Bao immediately took the lead in pleading guilty and said, "Your Majesty has a call. How dare ministers neglect it."

"Then tell me how you went on this trip to the western regions," the emperor thought of something and stopped their words. "We won't go, we'll just come back."

"Well, you have a lot of reasons to inquire about the prescription all the way. I know, when you came back, how did you go to Shazhou with general ashner and set out from Shazhou on the same day, but you were later than him... How many days?"

He turned and asked Gu Zhong.

Gu Zhong bowed and whispered, "twenty six days."

"How did you arrive in the capital 26 days later than general ashner? This is enough for people to go back to the western regions. "

Man Bao added, "you can only go back and forth to Shazhou at most."

The emperor was angry, "isn't Shazhou enough West? You have walked from Shazhou to the capital for more than 30 days, which is more than two times for others. How dare you answer back? "

Everyone lowered their heads and knelt honestly. Bai Shan apologized: "it's the minister who delayed on the road. This time, they also brought vaccinated veterans back to Beijing. They are injured, old and weak, and they take the ox cart, so the speed is much slower."

The emperor frowned, "is there no one in Anxi? How to inoculate with a group of veterans?"

Man Bao explained: "at that time, the war was in full swing, and vaccinating was a matter of life and death. People had to be willing."

Although the emperor wanted to scold them, he also felt that the business was important, so he reluctantly raised his hand and asked them to get up and answer, "how is the cowpox going?"

Man Bao immediately opened the box, took out two brochures and a stack of thick paper and began to report on his work.

The emperor heard that there was no death, and he could be sure that he was immune to smallpox. He couldn't help but rejoice, "really?"

Man Bao replied and handed in the booklet and materials.

The emperor turned it over. He couldn't understand the pulse signs recorded in the booklet, but he could see the appearance, such as fever, high fever, low fever and pox.

The emperor looked at the registered residence and experience of the experimenter, and knocked the table. He asked, "do you keep these people shut up to see the situation?"

Man Bao: "... It's not closed. Now the vaccination time has passed for more than three months. I want to observe it for another three months to determine whether there are sequelae."

She said, "if they can stay in the capital, it's natural. It's ok if they don't want to stay back. Later, let the local official take the doctor to consult them and determine their pulse and physical condition."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "why is it so troublesome? Let the people in Neiku arrange for them. Since they are veterans, they should be able to raise horses and do some farming. I'll send someone to the imperial villa. "

Bai Shan couldn't help saying, "Your Majesty, they are wounded and have retired."

"I didn't say to let them continue to be soldiers. First stay in the imperial villa to see the situation. Vaccinia is very important and should not be ignored."

Once it is determined that cowpox can be vaccinated, people in Dajin may not get smallpox in the future.

Bai Shan didn't object any more.

The emperor asked them about their return trip again, "most of you can walk slower, but tell me how you can be 26 days slower than general ashner?"

He has been slow for five or six days, which is the limit. After all, although general ashner is fast, he is not made of iron. It takes time to come back, okay?

This time, the five people stopped making excuses and bowed their heads to admit their mistakes.

The emperor snorted coldly, stared at them for a long time, then looked at another box and asked, "what is this?"

Bai Shanli picked up the box and said, "these are some local products collected by ministers in the western regions. They were brought back specially for your majesty and your mother. It happens that it is new year's day now, so I want to give them to your majesty and your mother as a new year's gift."

The emperor glanced at Gu Zhong. Gu Zhong immediately smiled, picked up the box and opened it for the emperor to see.

It was filled with spices and precious stones, and it was packed in a small box.

The Emperor didn't like musk very much. He liked styrofoam. At this time, a whole piece of styrofoam was placed in the box. As soon as it was opened, a faint aroma came out slowly.

The emperor looked much better and asked, "I heard that you also participated in the war against the West all the way to the western regions and got a lot of booty?"

Bai Shan immediately said that all the spoils were handed over to general ASHNA for registration and return to the Treasury. After a pause, he explained: "in order to boost morale when attacking the King City of Kucha again, the army distributed the spoils collected for the first time to the officers and soldiers to encourage them to attack the city."

He said: "because the soldiers are fighting with their lives, and the ministers can't break their promises, they didn't turn them in again, so this part will flow into the hands of the soldiers."

These Ashina generals had reported back. The emperor nodded slightly and asked, "where did you get these gems and spices?"

Bai Shan, they answered righteously, "bought it!"

"Really?" The emperor looked at them suspiciously, "do you have so much money?"
