Chapter 3458: Extra Chapter 37
The Liaozi tribe had both peacocks and elephants, and even presented peacocks to the royal family. Although these two things were rare, they still existed.
They must have seen them after coming to Liaozi tribe. She didn't expect that they would choose these as gifts.
Given their kindness to the Liaozi tribe, they could have asked for more, or even just asked her for a promise.
Li Si stood up and saluted them, "I'll go get ready."
Bai Shan added, "I want a pair."
He looked at Zhou Man and said, "It doesn't have to be a grown elephant or a grown peacock, but it doesn't have to be too small either."
Li Si nodded in confusion.
After the others left, Mingda asked curiously, "What do you want the elephants and peacocks for? Are you planning to open a zoo?"
Bai Shan said nonsense seriously: "Release them."
"What?" Not only Mingda, but also Yin Huo and Bai Erlang looked over.
Bai Shan said seriously, "Bring it and release it."
Bai Erlang was the first to find a reason for them, "Are you going to use it to make a wish with the Lord Tianzun? What wish do you want to make?"
Bai Shan said: "I pray for my father and Manbao's parents."
Mingda hesitated. "It's okay for elephants, but as for peacocks, wouldn't releasing them actually be detrimental to their survival?"
"No," Zhou Man said, "Peacocks have strong survival abilities and are originally wild."
She and Bai Shan had made a plan before coming. If they couldn't buy it, they would find someone to catch it in the wild.
After all, they didn't think about contacting the leader of the Liaozi tribe at the beginning.
Li Si prepared quickly. Her daughter quietly left the Liaozi tribe and went to the capital as soon as people from Yizhou and Liuzhou arrived.
Calculating the time, they had already crossed Liuzhou and headed north, and would reach the capital in a short time. By then, her daughter would be completely in the hands of Bai Shan and the court.
Although she sent a lot of people to be with her daughter, she was still worried, so in order to deepen the relationship between the two sides, Li Si was very dedicated to Bai Shan and others' requests.
Two strong elephants and beautiful peacocks were specially selected, one male and one female.
In addition to elephants and peacocks, Li Si also asked people to prepare a lot of rare and precious medicinal herbs unique to the Liaozi tribe for Zhou Man.
Although Zhou Man could not accept these medicinal herbs, she still accepted them happily.
These medicinal herbs are really precious, so Zhou Man decided to take them with him. If he encounters a suitable disease in the future, he won't be without herbs like this time.
Having achieved the goal of this trip, Bai Shan decided to return and asked someone to pack up.
Zhou Man compiled the pulse records and prescriptions for this epidemic and gave copies to the Liuzhou and Yizhou Medical Bureaus. "Lingnan is prone to miasma and mosquitoes, so malaria often occurs. This time, we've found five good prescriptions for treating malaria, two of which are new. You should all copy them and take them home. This will help you treat similar illnesses in your areas in the future."
The doctors from Liuzhou and Yizhou bowed and replied "yes".
Although Zhou Man resigned from her official position, all doctors in the world regarded her as their teacher, not to mention those in the medical system.
"I will be leaving tomorrow. The imperial court will share a portion of the medical materials you provide to support the Liaozi tribe. The rest will be charged to the medical bureau's account and counted as support from the two states to the Liaozi tribe."
The medical staff of both places hurriedly said, "Before we came here, our commander said that Liaozi tribe is also our territory of the Great Jin. When our brothers are in trouble, we should help them. Therefore, we have not considered the cost of the medicines we have escorted."
They paused and continued, "In addition to the medicinal materials provided by our medical department, some of them were also prepared by local drug dealers and gentry."
Zhou Man nodded in satisfaction and said, "Chief Li said that the witches of this tribe will hold a medicinal herb market in a couple of days. You can go and take a look. If you find any suitable herbs, you can pick some to take back."
There are differences between the two places. There are always some medicinal herbs that are not available in Yizhou and Liuzhou, and some medicinal herbs are particularly abundant here.
Sometimes when Zhou Man was walking in the mountains and forests, he needed to use a lot of willpower to control himself from digging.
Otherwise, if she dug up every medicinal herb she saw, she would probably never be able to leave the Liaozi tribe.
Zhou Man also sent a copy of the prescription she had tried out to the Imperial Medical Bureau, along with a pulse diagnosis. Then she began to take out her own notebook and record it, intending to send it back to the capital to publish after compiling a book.
Because there were many follow-up matters, she was the busiest among the five. When Bai Shan and the others went to say goodbye to their recent friends, she was sorting out pulse records and prescriptions;
While Bai Shan and the others were out having fun, taking advantage of their last moments to enjoy the beauty of southern Xinjiang, she was sorting out pulse records and prescriptions;
When Bai Shan and the others went out to buy local specialties, she was still sorting out pulse records and prescriptions.
Yin Huo came back and saw it, and couldn't help but smile, "In the future, everyone's prescriptions may be lost, but yours won't. They must be long-lasting, and no one can compare to you."
Bai Shan: "After all, not everyone can be like her. The Liaozi Department left a prescription, Yizhou and Liuzhou each took a copy, and the Imperial Medical Bureau also had to give a copy. Finally, I had to compile it into a book and print it out."
With so many books, there must be some that are circulating, right?
Why are our ancestors’ medical books always lost?
In addition to war, the fact that too few books were circulated was another major reason.
Zhou Man said, "These prescriptions were developed and tested at the cost of human lives. Naturally, they should be made public so that doctors all over the world know about them. This way, they can save more people in the future. That way, their deaths won't be in vain, right?"
Bai Shan nodded, "Yes."
Mingda asked, "How much do you have left?"
"It's all sorted out," Zhou Man said, picking up a thin stack of manuscript paper. "If I collect a few more symptoms, I can publish another book."
She became complacent at this point and proudly said to Bai Erlang, "I'm earning quite a bit from my book royalties now."
Bai Erlang was unconvinced and said, "That's because when you publish a book, the Imperial Medical Bureau will collect some copies. The Chongwen Academy, the Hanlin Academy, and the local prefectural and county medical bureaus will all collect at least two copies. My books are freely traded."
"You two, one writes a medical book, the other writes a biography, what's the comparison?" They were both in different genres. Bai Shan didn't know what they were arguing about, so he pulled Zhou Man aside and said, "Now that we're done, let's go out and have some fun. This is our last night, so we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
Li Sixiang wanted to practice for them, but they thought that practicing would just mean sitting together eating and drinking, which was boring. It would be better for them to go out and walk around the streets and find food by themselves.
All the patients in Annan City were cured. Although many people died, even more people survived. This was much better than the historical records of malaria, which almost wiped out a whole clan or a whole city.
So the people in the city quickly recovered from their grief and began to celebrate the passing of the plague.
The whole city was filled with the aroma of food. Bai Shan covered her eyes and pulled her to a stall. With one hand, he brought the aroma to her nose and asked with a smile, "How is it? Do you want to eat?"
Zhou Man swallowed and nodded, "I smell meat!"
Bai Shan suppressed a smile and said, "That's right, it's meat."
