People from the Duhu Mansion quickly found a piece of land for Zhou Man, just outside the city.

Knowing that Zhou Man wanted to cause smallpox, naturally no one dared to leave things in the city. If something happened, it would cost people's lives.

So the people of the Protectorate chose a place quite far away, and the houses were all built on the spot. If she hadn't insisted on having water, they could have found a place farther away.

However, although there is a small river there, it is not close to the river.

This is what Manbao requires, so as not to be too close to the water and pollute it.

According to Zhou Man's request, two courtyards were built, one for patients and the other for those who take care of the patients.

The cows were also prepared for her, not many, just three, and they were tied up in the yard.

After these were completed, General Guo and others also went out for the expedition, and the selected prisoners were sent to them on the day they went out.

There were six people in total, and all of them were injured.

Man Bao saw that one of them had a broken arm. Fortunately, it was an old injury, otherwise she would have had to treat the injury first.

Man Bao took a pen and paper to record their names, household registration, etc., and asked casually: "What did you commit?"

The six people were stunned and said, "We didn't commit any crime."

Man Bao raised his head to look at them, his eyes focused, and asked: "Aren't you the prisoners who were exiled to Xizhou?"

The faces of the six people changed and they immediately said: "Sir, don't insult us. We are conscripted into the army, not prisoners."

Man Bao frowned slightly and couldn't help but look back at Bai Shan.

Bai Shan also pursed his lips, turned around and said, "I'll go ask."

Just ask the Protectorate to find out the identity of the person who sent it.

They are really not prisoners, they are all Anxi soldiers serving in the army.

Bai Shan was also a little angry. He took their roster and asked, "Didn't you say you want prisoners?"

The officials of the Duhufu were slightly embarrassed and explained: "They all agreed on their own. If Mr. Bai doesn't believe it, just ask them."

Bai Shan pursed his lips and asked, "What about the prisoner?"

"No," the official of the Protectorate Palace probably felt that the tone was too strong, so he paused and said, "Mr. Bai, people with able-bodied limbs have to go to the battlefield."

Bai Shan understood immediately that they were unwilling to give them intact prisoners and wanted to use them on the battlefield.

He frowned and asked, "Then there are no injuries?"

"Is there anyone who is injured enough not to go to the battlefield," the official said, "because they are all dead."

The medicine in the army is given to the soldiers first, and the rest is given to the prisoners. Basically, those with larger wounds will not survive, but those who can survive can continue to go to the battlefield.

Seeing that Bai Shan's face was not very good, the other party said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, don't worry, these people are also willing. Our Major General promised them that whether they live or die, they will get a sum of money to settle down and a silver reward.

Let them also take away the silk cloth given by Mr. Bai."

Bai Shan: "Dead..."

"The military will deliver the things to their families."

Seeing Bai Shan's look of disbelief, the other party's expression froze for a moment and then he said: "This matter is done by our Major General's orders. No one dares to fool me."

Naturally, General Guo would not deny his son this face.

Bai Shan's face looked better now.

The official then said with a smile: "Master Bai and Lord Zhou are kind-hearted and reluctant to use these soldiers, but this is a good thing for them. As you can see, they are disabled, and Anxi is too far away from the Central Plains.

Far away, not to mention it is difficult for them to cross the desert and return to the Central Plains. Even if they can go back, they will have a few ragged clothes and a broken knife. What will they do for a living after going back? It will not be a drag on the family. "

Bai Shan's face was condensed, "Disabled veterans who return to their hometowns are paid resettlement allowance."

"Oh, this is what the imperial court stipulates, and the army must have money," he said, "Do you think our Anxi army is rich?"

He immediately added: "You can't look at our generals, you have to look at the people below."

Bai Shancai's opened mouth closed again.

"The Major General has made the decision. All those who apply for the draft will receive resettlement allowance and return to their hometowns. That's okay. He also gave a reward of one hundred taels of silver. When the time comes, they will be divided equally whether they live or die, plus the silk cloth you gave.

, that’s a lot. If you save some money after returning to your hometown, you can always live your whole life with the help of your brothers. If you are less injured, you might even be able to find a wife."

The official said: "They are all vying to be Master Zhou's medicine men. Unfortunately, Master Zhou only wanted six at the beginning, so he only selected the six with the best health to send. Now there are still more than twenty people waiting in the army.

, all want to wait for the second batch.”

Bai Shan was so angry that his heart ached, but he didn't know who he was angry with. Although he didn't know much about the army, he also knew that not only the Anxi Army, but also many armies could not properly place veterans and remnants because of the amount of money it would cost.

There is too much money, food and rice.

After all, we are still too poor.

Bai Shan turned around and left. He went back and told Man Bao the truth and said, "Just use them. General Guo should have said hello, otherwise the people he sent will only be worse."

Man Bao could only nod, "Then let's take care of their bodies first."

Bai Shan nodded.

Manbao went back to find some medicinal materials to nourish qi and blood, and asked people to buy chickens to raise in the yard. From time to time, he would stew mutton and kill chickens for them. They had three meals a day, two of which contained meat.

The soldiers ate in a daze, and after being in a daze for two days, they suddenly cried loudly. Manbao, who was inoculating the cow in the yard, shook his hand and almost poked the cotton ball with the acne scab into the cow's eye.

She first firmly pressed the cotton ball into the cow's sinus, making sure it contacted the wound she had lightly opened before pressing it in.

The cow moved uneasily.

After Man Bao confirmed that the cotton ball could not fall out for a while, he pushed it aside and let Zhou Liru stare at the cow from a distance. Then he went to wash his hands and change clothes, and then went to see them.

The six of them were sitting at the table, hugging each other and crying. Bai Shan and others who were eating with them sat there blankly with their bowls in hand. Seeing her coming in, Bai Shan immediately said: "We didn't do anything."

Bai Erlang nodded immediately, "Yes, we didn't bully them."

Yin may be confused. Is this his first day here, or does he just want to see the excitement? Who knew they would cry even if they had lunch together?

Yin You put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked hesitantly: "Is it because we robbed them of food?"

Bai Shan took out a handkerchief and handed it to the six people, "No, even though we ate together, we killed two chickens today."

The six of them wiped away their tears and said with sobs: "I, we just think this is a deprivation meal. We like to eat it, but we don't want to eat it. But thinking about it, we can eat deprivation meal for so many days, and we feel satisfied.

.”

Man Bao: "...Who said it's a decapitation meal? This is to condition your body so that you don't have your head decapitated."
