Chapter 104

In the hall, the guest and host are seated.

Zhang Zhongjing is in the main position, and Zhang Xiu is in the first position on the left.

Chen Dao, who was accompanied by Zhang Xiu, sat down behind her.

Although Zhang Zhongjing was an old man, he was also enthusiastic and said: "when the Huns went down to the south, when I got the news, I wanted to stand up and resist the Huns."

"It's a pity that an old man can't fight because he doesn't know how to fight. Later, general Zhang led his troops to fight against the Huns. I was even more excited and expected general Zhang to win. "

"In the twinkling of an eye, all the Huns were annihilated."

"It's a great joy."

Zhang Zhongjing said: "General Zhang defeated the Xiongnu people and killed huchuquan, King Zuoxian of Xiongnu, benefiting countless people in Nanyang County and enabling countless people to live in peace and make contributions to the country."

Previously, Zhang Zhongjing had already praised it.

Now, he praised again.

Zhang Xiu rubbed her hands, warmed her cold hands and said with a smile, "I'm very ashamed of Zhong Jing Gong's praise. Nanyang County is under my jurisdiction. The people are suffering. I should stand up. It's not surprising that it's a trivial matter. "

"It's no small matter," Zhang said

When talking, he saw Zhang Xiu rubbing his hands for warmth, and immediately said, "come on!"

A valet entered quickly.

Zhang Zhongjing said, "bring two braziers in and get close to General Zhang to keep him warm."

"Here it is

The servant was ordered to leave immediately.

Zhang Xiu was no longer polite and said, "Mr. Zhong Jing, I came to nieyang county to ask for his help."

Zhang Zhongjing said: "General Zhang, it's OK to say that as long as it's within my power, I will never refuse."

Zhang Xiu said quickly: "this year's Nanyang County is much colder than in previous years. Even the river is frozen, and the chill can be seen. The cold weather has caused countless people in Yuyang county to be infected with wind chill. "

"The common people live together, but they can be suppressed even if they don't get together."

"The trouble is that the soldiers in our army are together all day, and a large number of patients with wind chill begin to appear. Yuyang County doctors after diagnosis and treatment, can not control the disease, can not cure the disease, leading to more and more people sick

"I was worried that it would become an epidemic disease, so I came to nieyang county to ask Zhong Jinggong to treat the soldiers' disease."

Zhang Xiu's eyes are full of expectations.

This time, it's up to Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing stroked his beard with a smile and said confidently, "I am duty bound to invite General Zhang. How about going to Yuyang county with general Zhang tomorrow morning? "

"Thank you, Mr. Zhong Jing."

The big stone in Zhang Xiu's heart fell to the ground immediately.

At this time, the servant of your family came in with a fire basin. A brazier was placed in the middle of the hall to dispel the chill. Another brazier is placed close to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu glanced at the burning charcoal in the brazier. In an instant, he opened his eyes and looked surprised.

The burning in the brazier is not charcoal, but coal.

Zhang Xiu knows something about coal. The coal used in this brazier is not ordinary coal, but anthracite with the best quality and the highest carbon content. Its color is blacker, and there is no smoke when burning.

If the anthracite is burned out, no toxic gas will be produced.

In the brazier, when the heat is enough, anthracite is enough to burn completely, without pungent smell and producing toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, which can be heated directly.

When Zhang Xiu thought, a voice came from her ear. It was Zhang Zhongjing calling his name. He suddenly returned to his mind, and then said, "please forgive me, Mr. Zhong Jing. I just lost my mind."

Zhang Zhongjing said: "General Zhang has been staring at the black stone. Is there any doubt?"

Coal, also known as Blackstone by the ancients.

This is a black stone.

Zhang xiudao said, "Mr. Zhongjing, where was the black carbon found?"

With a smile, Zhang Zhongjing said, "the black charcoal burning in the brazier is a gift given by a patient to thank me after his recovery."

"Ordinary black stone burns with a pungent smell, which is poisonous. But it's burning, smokeless, tasteless, and completely non-toxic. It can be used for heating. "

"When I received Blackstone, I also had doubts in my heart. But the patient I sent me tried the method by example. I believed what he said and began to use black carbon."

Zhang Zhongjing said: "I still have hundreds of Jin of such black charcoal here. If general Zhang needs it, he can give some to General Zhang. "

Zhang xiudao said: "where is Zhong Jinggong's patient? Where is the black stone mined?"

Zhang Zhongjing replied, "he is from Luyang county. He picked up all these black stones on Mount Lu."

Zhang Xiu's heart moved.

Luyang county is located in Henan Province.

Lushan is a big mountain in Luyang county. Later generations took Lushan County as their name.This is where coal is produced.

Now Luyang county is the northernmost area of Nanyang County. Zhang Xiu thought that she could pick up so much anthracite, which proved that Lushan is an open-pit coal mine and can mine anthracite in large quantities.

With anthracite, people can get warm.

Compared with the expensive charcoal, such anthracite is enough to relieve the affected people.

Zhang Xiu stood up, folded her hands, saluted Zhang Zhongjing, and solemnly said, "Mr. Zhongjing, I thank you instead of thousands of surnames in Nanyang County."

Seeing this, Zhang Zhongjing quickly got up and asked, "General Zhang, what are you doing? You don't have to."

Zhang Xiu explained: "Zhong Jinggong also knows that this year's cold winter is extraordinary. Although the people have food, the weather is too cold for many people. "

"Some old people, in particular, can't bear the cold winter."

"Besides, many people from poor families are even more sad. It's too expensive for them to use charcoal for heating. But the black carbon mined in Luyang county can be mined in the open pit, and the price is cheap enough to ease the crisis of the people. "

"Next, I will send people to Luyang county to mine large quantities of black carbon."

"And then, warm the people."

"With this large amount of black carbon, people will certainly be able to survive this winter. I can't do anything about it without Zhong Jinggong's reminding. Now, finally, there is a solution. "

Zhang xiudao said: "now I have two difficulties. The first is that the soldiers are ill. The second is that the weather is cold and the people are hard. Now these two problems have been solved by Zhong Jinggong. It's fair to thank Zhongjing. "

Zhang Zhongjing said: "this is not my credit. It's just that I happen to know it."

Immediately, Zhang Zhongjing changed the subject and asked about the situation of soldiers infected with wind cold in Yuyang county. Zhang Xiu also said the countermeasures one by one, including isolation and other arrangements.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhongjing was greatly impressed.

They talked late into the night before they went to rest.

The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Zhongjing left in a hurry by carriage. From nieyang county to Yuyang County, we rushed all the way. It took less time than when we came here. We ran for nearly three days.

Back in Yuyang County, Zhang Zhongjing went directly to the barracks without delay.

When he entered the camp, he saw that everything was arranged in good order. When he saw the isolated soldiers, his face was also relaxed. He said with emotion: "thanks to General Zhang, he isolated the patients. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Zhang Xiu said, "Duke Zhongjing has been praised falsely. Please give him a hand to treat this disease."

"It's not difficult," Zhang said

Immediately, he carefully diagnosed and treated several soldiers' diseases, and found that the soldiers' diseases were indeed the same. He took out his medicine box, took out his pen, ink and bamboo slips, wrote down the prescription, and handed it to Zhang Xiu, saying: "General Zhang, the soldiers' diseases are the same. Take medicine according to the prescription and fry it for the soldiers. Within three days, it will be effective. "

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Xiu was also relieved.

A miracle doctor is a miracle doctor.

When many doctors are at a loss, Zhang Zhongjing is able to prescribe the right medicine. This is Zhang Zhongjing's ability.

He called Ganning and asked Ganning to arrange it.

After dealing with the affairs in the army, Zhang Xiu takes Zhang Zhongjing and goes straight back to the county government to prepare for Zhang Zhongjing.
