Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 2157 Do you have a needle?

  The taxes paid by herdsmen on the grasslands are different from those of the people in Central Plains.

  In addition to taxes and levies, ordinary people in the Central Plains only have farm rents for estuaries, forty taxes per one, which is not very heavy.

  Even in a place like Qili Village with more mountains and less land, most of the Koufen field is divided into mountains that cannot be cultivated. However, with the full amount of Yongye Tian, ​​paying the forty tax 1 of the Koufen field is not so unacceptable.

Moreover, Luojiang County has always been poor. The three prefectural magistrates before and after are pretty good. They know that most of the Koufen fields are mountains and do not generate income. Therefore, the basis set is not high. Forty taxes and 1 are basically not much, in contrast to Ding. Higher.

  This was not the case on the grassland. Except for Ding Shui, they had no labor service, but directly required military service. When the Jin Dynasty fought, they would directly recruit troops from here and enter the camp.

  There were no donations and gifts, but there was a tax on grazing. Bai Shan quietly calculated a fortune, and found that it was much higher than the people in the Central Plains.

  But ordinary herders don’t worry about this, because in the Khanate before the Jin Dynasty, they didn’t even own their own people, let alone the cattle and horses they raised.

   Khan gave an order, and these small tribes had to confess. If they didn’t obey, they were likely to be thrown to the front line to block the stone.

So they didn’t feel unfair at the moment, but felt that they were unhappy to be conscripted for military service from time to time. “Three years ago, Tian Khan wanted to fight Gaochang, we were recruited to guard Liangzhou, and finally beat the Tubo who came over. In one event, eight of our tribe died."

   "How many people did you go to?"

"Twelve, there are still two in the army. Their legs are not lame and they can't come back." Speaking of this, the herder proudly put his wounded leg forward and let Bai Shan see him. Show off: "The horse was shot by a stream arrow when I was charging. I was very clever. I rolled my head and rolled down. When I rolled to the side of the road, I was stepped on my foot by a horse coming from behind. I burned a bit before I died."

  Bai Shan: "...Why did the other one come back?"

"Oh, he is more lucky than me. He was chopped off by an arm when he was facing an enemy. He chopped off the opponent's head. When he finally came back, he took the money from the family home. He used the money to buy fifty lambs. In addition to the original cattle and sheep in his family, he is now the eighth richest family in the family."

  Bai Shan said with a complicated heart: "...I am very lucky."

  The herder said with joy: "But I'm not terribly bad. I bought ten little lambs with the money I got back."

  Bai Shan's heart was complicated, and he couldn't speak for a long time, "Do you think the life is better now or fifteen years ago?"

  Fifteen years ago, Xiangli Khan was still there.

The herder thought for a while and said: "It's not much difference, but there are not as many wars as there were at that time. There are not so many dead people in our clan. And there are merchants. We buy corn, tea, and salt. It is easier than before. , I, Aye, only supported one of me, but three of the five children I gave birth to live."

  Bai Shan, who has no children, cannot understand this pride, but he also knows that the survival rate of children in Central Plains is not high, let alone the grasslands.

  He did not speak any more.

  Yin or who had been sitting quietly by the side did not speak. He tore off the grass beside him and made up casually. He didn't know what it was made up. He looked a little disgusted with it, so he wanted to throw it away.

  Bai Shan glanced at it and said, "This is a safflower, which can invigorate blood and remove blood stasis."

  The herdsman immediately looked at Yin or the grass in his hand, and asked with piercing eyes, "Master Bai, is this medicine?"

  Bai Shan smiled and nodded, "Yes."

  "Then can we sell it to the dealer if we pick it?"

"sure."

  The herders are worried, "Will they take it?"

  Bai Shan smiled and said, “Of course it will, and in the past two years, didn’t all of your herbs be sold to Brother Thursday? He will take it.”

  The herdsman smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's not necessarily true. On Thursday, the master is strict. Check the herbs very carefully, and no grass is allowed in them."

The smile on the corner of Bai Shan’s mouth froze, and he said: “The herbs are no better than others. They are sold to patients. If they are mixed with other things, not to mention the effects of the medicine, there may be poisoning, etc. You should be careful indeed."

  The herder smiled embarrassedly and nodded. They didn't know it before, but they thought it was all grass, but they all eat it anyway. How much difference can it make?

  Now, seeing Zhou Man using those grasses to treat children and people in the family, they no longer dare to look down upon these herbs.

  At this time, Man Bao also squatted in the Tutu Department to pick the herbs they picked, picked up one, first asked Ayina their name and usage, and then she told them what she knew.

  She said: "Many medicinal materials can be obtained anywhere, but some are not available here. You have to buy them. You can't remember if I say too much, so I will only tell you the herbs that can be found here to treat smallpox."

   But turned around, and after teaching the four of them, she gave Ayina a small stove alone, “You don’t have all the herbs for smallpox, but you have herbs for basic diseases like wind and cold.”

  Ayina's eyes brightened instantly.

  Man Baodao: "It does not necessarily follow the prescriptions. I just thought of it. You can consider one or two prescriptions based on the herbs you can find here. Do you know which herbs are there?"

Ayina’s name was a little different from what Man Bao knew, but she described Man Bao and knew what herb she was talking about. She took the notes, and then glanced at Agu Gu San who was still trying to recite the prescription. Man, got up and said: "You can recite the prescription first, and when I come back, I will continue to teach you how to feel the pulse. I will give you a simulation of the pulse of a smallpox patient."

  Man Bao turned around and went to the carriage to find the herbs he had dug during this time.

  There are plants that Keke pointed out here, but more of them are the herbs she saw when she ran around on the grassland.

  As long as it is the herbal medicine she knows, she can't help but dig it when she sees it. She feels that it was brought by Keke.

  So she knows that there are no fewer types of herbs on the grassland than Ayina.

  She took out the medicinal herbs that were dried or dried, and took a few samples of each, and then took them to Zhou Liru, "Write the name and effect of the medicine, and paste it on to Ayina."

  Zhou Liru took a handful of herbs, first divided them, and put the ones that needed to be dried on the wooden boards outside the tent to continue drying, and the others that had already been dried were taken into the tent.

  Man Bao then touched a bag of needles and went back to look for the four of Dai Yi. She sat in her seat and waved her hand, "Go and call in all the men, women, children and children who will feel your pulse."

Now, the Tutu Department has a dedicated person responsible for staying in the tribe to feel their pulse. When they don’t need it, they work in the camp, and when they need it, they will roll up their sleeves and let them feel the pulse and act as a model for learning. .

  But this time pulse is different from the previous few times, because before this time, Manbao will get a needle.

  The herdsmen who saw acupuncture and moxibustion for the first time were stunned, especially the first needle Man Bao pulled out was so long and so long...

  They trembled and looked at Man Bao with horror.

Good night
