222 Many doctors signed up
When Fang Xiao learned about this, instead of scolding his son, he went straight to the eldest son and asked him to help persuade Master Ping'an to take the people with him. At most, he could bring more food. Fang Wu and the others would be guards and would not take the quota of apprentices. Besides, even if these children's medical skills were not that good, they could still be apprentices of ordinary families.
Sun Sicheng thought that it was impossible to bring maids to the battlefield, and people were indeed needed to do some chores. Yuan Qing, Fang Wu and the other little ones could do the chores.
He plans to sign up tomorrow and make a bigger fuss. I heard that not many doctors have signed up, and the government is already trying to find a solution. If it doesn't work, they will have to recruit them by force.
He gathered all the people that Ping An wanted to take, as well as those that he wanted to take with him, in the courtyard of the mansion and asked them for the last time, asking those who were willing to go to stand on one side and those who were unwilling to go to stand on the other side.
In the end, all of them were going.
Including Erqiang and the others, Ping'an brought exactly ten people. Tong Miao was unaware of this, and Da Wu was quite dissatisfied. He was also the chief guard of Young Master Ping'an, so why was he left behind?
Sun Sicheng told him to go away and he would talk to him in detail later, saying that those who did not go would have a heavy burden.
He also brought ten of his own, making a total of twenty-two people in the group.
"Since everyone has decided to go, I can tell you responsibly that we are going to the military medical department, and our safety is guaranteed. In addition to Ping An and I, there are exactly 20 of you. Wan Li will be in charge of the team as the captain, and He Jin will be the deputy captain.
Wanli, He Jin, Dazhuang and Daniu are responsible for protecting everyone's safety. Yuanqing, Jixiang, Fangwu and Xiaohu are mainly responsible for logistics. The remaining twelve people all follow Ping'an and me as apprentices.
The monthly salary for all of you is two taels each. After you come back, I will give each of you an additional subsidy of fifty taels. The monthly salary given by Baicaotang will be calculated as usual. If you perform particularly well, I will give you additional rewards. "
Erqiang was so happy that he couldn't find the limit.
He already knew that if he went this time, he would give his family a place, so they wouldn't have to go to the army anymore, nor would they have to spend twenty taels to buy military service.
It's a great deal.
Now the eldest son said that each person will receive a subsidy of at least fifty taels, plus two taels of monthly silver, and the monthly silver here will still be calculated.
My God, he couldn't figure it out.
Let's calculate it based on one year, fifty taels, plus the monthly silver of twenty-four taels, plus the monthly silver of twelve taels here, if we count the remaining money for military service, how much is it? My God, one hundred taels.
It’s rich, it’s really rich.
Ping'an glanced at his younger cousin, who was like his third cousin who was quiet and transparent. He liked the one in front of him more. He was sure that Erqiang must be calculating in his mind at this time, with his eyes shining.
Ming Wanli stepped forward and said, "The government is planning to leave in mid-June, but we have to stay in Yunzhou for a while, so we will probably leave in two days. You should pack your own luggage, especially the cotton-padded clothes for winter. I will prepare two pairs of leather boots and a leather coat for each person. There are 22 people on this trip, and we need four cars. Three of them are for passengers, and one is for luggage. It will be full."
There are many cars at home, but it is troublesome to store too many of them.
Eight people sat in the front to drive the carriage, and the remaining fourteen people sat in three carriages. The eldest son and Young Master Ping'an sat in one carriage, and the remaining five or six people could also sit in one carriage.
The next day, Sun Sicheng's carriage arrived at the gate of the government office.
Soon someone recognized him: "Look, that's the eldest son. Oh my god, is he here to sign up as well?"
"No way? The eldest son of Baicaotang is going to the battlefield?"
"My goodness, if he goes, how many people will be saved?"
…
…
Jixiang found some unfamiliar faces in the valley. As soon as they pointed out the identity of the eldest son, the people around them immediately started a heated discussion. Where was the place for them to use their abilities?
Brother Jixiang, there is no need for us to make any noise. Our eldest master has a great influence.
Governor Bai turned to Sun Sicheng and asked, "Did I hear you correctly? Are you willing to go to the border town?"
Sun Sicheng said solemnly, "I know that many doctors want to go but don't dare to go. Let me and my apprentice take the lead. My apprentice is safe. Although he is young, he is very good at medicine, especially treating injuries. This time we will also bring a dozen apprentices from Baicaotang. I hope we can set a good example and help you solve your worries."
Prefect Bai was delighted: "Okay, in this case I have to thank the eldest master and Ping An. This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. Those who have doctors at home are generally reluctant to let them go. In fact, although doctors have hardships in practicing medicine, their safety is still no problem. Once the eldest master's name is announced, I will not worry about it anymore."
Here, Ming Wanli brought people to follow the master to register. Even those who were specifically responsible for guards and logistics had to have their names registered.
Sun Sicheng said, "Sir, the notice said we would set out in mid-June, but it's only mid-May now. I plan to take my people and go first to Yunzhou to wait for the main group."
Prefect Bai smiled and said, "Young Master, are you going to Yunzhou to handle some matters? Of course you can. Do you want me to find some people?"
"No, no." Sun Sicheng interrupted him, "Sir, it's okay to tell you. The general asked me to increase the amount of alcohol. Considering the difficulty of long-distance transportation, I plan to build another workshop in Yunzhou. There is no other way. No matter how difficult it is for the Great Zhou, we have to go."
Prefect Bai nodded hurriedly: "That's right, that's right, the eldest master's alcohol saves countless lives every year, don't you know?"
Sun Sicheng raised the corner of his lips and said, "This is all thanks to my disciple. He was the one who first thought of it and drew the picture. Later, we tried again and again before we succeeded."
Governor Bai was moved. This child was good-looking and capable. His biological father was an official in the suburbs of Beijing. At a young age, he was awarded the title of the seventh-rank Zhaowu General by the emperor. He also had two concubine daughters of the same age. If...
"Master, I want to ask you something. Your disciple is not engaged yet, right? I have a concubine daughter who is similar in age to him. I don't know."
Sun Sicheng smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, sir, my little apprentice already has a good match, but because of his young age, he has not yet been engaged."
His heart pounded. All of them wanted to marry my little apprentice. This was not a good thing. In another year or two, Ping An would grow up a little and become as handsome as a jade. If he shined in the border town this time, I'm afraid there would be even more of these people in the future.
Especially his biological father. If he rashly arranges a marriage for him in the capital, you can't say he is wrong. He has the right to do so.
No, I will reveal this to Wan Changsheng tomorrow and ask him to tell his wife quietly. Ping An will keep it a secret for the time being.
In this way, if anything happens in the future, we can say that Ping'an has already settled it with Awu.
No one in his Sun family had any objections. Awu's life was saved by Ping An. Isn't it normal for him to repay his life-saving grace with his own body?
Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
Ping An, who was registering here, didn't know that his marriage had already been arranged by the master.
