425 Ready to go to sea
Two days passed quickly.
The Marquis's leg injury had obviously healed. It was no longer rotting or festering. He only needed to change the dressing every two days and wait for the wound to heal.
But soldiers are a big problem.
Many people suffer from chronic arthritis and severe joint pain. This may be due to eating too much sea salt and seafood for a long time. Many people also have thyroid problems.
"Master, there are too many patients here. If we continue like this, it will be out of control. We can't cure them in a short time. It's better to donate the prescriptions for these two diseases to the military camp and live a carefree life."
Sun Sicheng was silent.
Their prescription was indeed much better than the military doctor's, and Ping'an and I would not be able to walk for ten days or half a month, and they were still treating serious diseases.
"Well, just send it, but we have to gather the military doctors together to teach them for a day or two. The prescription is not fixed, and the amount of certain herbs will vary depending on the severity of the disease.
Ping An, you are so generous, giving two here and two there. In ten or twenty years, you will have given away all the good prescriptions of our ancestors. "
Ping An smiled, "Master, how could that be? This is a military camp. We told the Marquis that the prescription is not to be passed on to others and is only for use in the military camp. The geographical environment here is like this. We have cured it this time, but what about the future? Besides, we have to go back in two days at most. I still want to play at the beach."
Sun Sicheng thought about it and realized that he had played everywhere, but now he was old and had no interest in playing anymore. Ping An was different, he was still a child.
"Okay, I'll talk to the Marquis and General Xu later. Starting tomorrow, you can take them to the beach and the county market. You can also go back to the city in five days at the latest."
This situation won't work for two or three days.
"Thank you, Master."
That afternoon, Sun Sicheng found Lord Hou and General Xu to discuss the matter. One had joint pain and the other had neck disease, which was a serious problem for the naval camp. The military doctors could treat them, but the results were not obvious. The military camp was not well-off, so how could they afford to treat them for a long time?
As a result, people with serious illnesses cannot engage in physical labor after returning to their hometowns. Can you imagine what good will happen to them for the rest of their lives?
General Xu said happily, "Young Master, you are a kind-hearted doctor. We will never let the prescription out of the barracks. I will ask the military medical department to arrange some military doctors to follow you for training later."
He has already been handing over the work to the Marquis. When the Marquis and his son return to the capital in the spring, he will be in charge of this area. If he can solve the most troublesome problem, it will be the happiest thing for him. If nothing unexpected happens, he will stay here for ten years.
"One more thing. We will be staying here for three or four days at most. Can you send someone familiar to show Ping An and the others around? After all, we have to come to the beach."
The Marquis laughed: "It is said that Sicheng dotes on his apprentice like he dotes on his son. It seems that this is true. Hahahaha, hahaha, just let Wang Tao accompany him. They are old acquaintances too."
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "I only have this little disciple. What else can I do if I don't spoil him? Besides, it was he who suggested presenting the recipe to the military camp. He also got the recipe for neck disease by accident. The recipe for joint disease belongs to my Sun family."
General Xu was surprised while expressing his gratitude. This eldest son of Baicaotang was truly an extraordinary person. If it were anyone else, he would not even mention this matter. He donated such a good prescription to the military camp and also helped to train military doctors. It was definitely a great achievement.
Ping An found Fu An and Chen Xuan here. They had just come back from a walk nearby. When they heard what Ping An said, they were very happy. Which teenager doesn't like to play?
"It's safe. It's best to find someone to take you. It would be best if we can go on the boat to play."
Chen Xuan also looked at Ping An.
"Okay, my master should mention it to them this afternoon. It won't be hard to find someone to accompany us. As for the boat, the boats in the barracks may not work, but we can rent them for money."
Fu An clapped his hands and said, "That's great. I'll pay for it. The ships in the military camp are not easy to move around. So, I'll have the guards rent a private ship. The weather has been good these past two days, and it's not too cold."
Ping An said, "You can ask someone to find out first. There's no need to rush to pay the deposit. You have fewer people, but I have more than a dozen. I'll pay the money."
Fu An waved his hand and said, "Ping An, you can just bring us here. Otherwise, Brother Chen and I will have to pay for this money. Brother Chen's family is rich, and my mother is also rich. You don't have to pay for it. You have more people, and more people and more skills are also capital. It's safe to go out, Brother Chen, don't you think so?"
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded. This amount of money was no problem for three people.
Ping'an was silent. He couldn't say that he was already very rich, right?
Besides, the hundreds of thousands of dollars he had were really nothing in front of Fu Anniang and the Chen family. It was heard that Madam Ying was very good at doing business and had always had a stake in her mother's family business.
Fu An sent someone out on the spot.
In the evening, Sun Sicheng called Ping An, Wan Li and He Jin.
"Starting tomorrow, Wang Tao will accompany you to take a walk around the area. You can also go out to sea on a boat. We can use the boat that the military camp usually uses to catch seafood. I heard that the boat is not small and can easily accommodate 20 to 30 people. There is no need for a real military ship."
"Master, Fu An also sent someone to the county town today to inquire about renting a private boat. I heard it's a very good boat, and it only costs one hundred taels to rent it a day."
"No, we'll just use the military camp's. The boats and people will feel safe to use. It's not about the money. The coastline is long here, so we can stay outside at night, but only for three days at most."
"Got it, Master." Ping An grinned. Then let's not play on the shore for the time being, let's just take a boat ride and surf.
"My Lord, Ruyi, Jixiang and I will stay with you. You can't be left alone to take care of us. We have played a lot in the sea with you."
"That's fine, He Jin. You take good care of Ping An, and Wan Li and the others will stay."
Wang Tao came to Chaheibian and after confirming the number of people with Ping'an, they decided to use two relatively large boats. He also had to bring Axing and others with him, so there were about thirty people in total.
One ship can hold all the people, but the sea is different from the land. If something happens, there will be no one to ask for help. If you bring two ships, you won't have to worry about this.
"Ping An, the largest market in Minzhou is a hundred miles away from here. We will play on the sea tomorrow and arrive there before dusk.
The day after tomorrow is November 20th. The market only opens on the fifth and tenth days of the month. There will be foreigners there, some with blond hair and some with white hair. They look nothing like us. If you are lucky, you can buy the goods they bring, so you can bring some silver."
Ping An was delighted: "That's great, Uncle. Do you want to bring anything else? Like a basket, a fishing net, or something?"
Wang Tao laughed: "Ours is a real fishing boat, what's not on it? Ah Xing and the others are the experts, I'm not so good."
