Chapter 2685 bear it
After passing the checkpoint, the military logistics officer responsible for escorting the medicinal materials turned around and shouted, waving his whip and shouting: "Hurry up and hurry up. Fighting has begun on the front line. If the time is delayed, everyone will not be able to have a good time."
The coolies pushing the cart sighed in their hearts, as if it was them who was delayed, and it wasn't the fact that you couldn't get out of the checkpoint that wasted your time?
The person responsible for escorting the things was also very angry. While shouting for everyone to hurry up, he complained to his colleagues, "It should be escorted together with the grain and grass, and the medicinal materials should be escorted separately. It is a waste of effort. There are so many gas guzzlers on the road, and it is stuck on it."
It’s so strict, there’s no food or water underneath, and we won’t even be allowed to leave the checkpoints. If there’s a problem here or there’s a problem there, if there’s a problem, it’ll all fall on us.”
"Okay, stop complaining. Isn't this the official document from above? I heard that we have already greeted the inns and local officials along the way. No one should dare to stop us anymore."
"To put it nicely, we have been on this road for many years. Those oil rats who have become refined only care about money and how can they have a life?" He complained: "The side of the military is in charge.
You Yan, I heard that the last batch of medicinal materials sent to the front line, they not only checked the quantity, but also whether some of the medicinal materials were concocted by their Imperial Medical Office, they would know after smelling and looking at them."
Even if they want to replace some, they can't.
Of course, they don't want to replace it, but some gas guzzlers on the road are particularly difficult to get rid of, so they have to pay something for the convenience of the road.
He felt so tired. It took more effort to escort things to the Imperial Medical Office than to escort food and grass to five trips.
At this time, Wen Tiandong was also reporting the situation to Zhou Man, "...Teacher, what should I do with the two boxes of replaced medicinal materials?"
Man Bao said: "Make a note first, and I will send out a few students who are good at preparing medicinal materials to deal with it tomorrow."
Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "I remember that Chen Banxia and Su Ye did well in the processing class."
Wen Tiandong smiled sheepishly. He was in a different class than them, so he didn't know their grades.
However, Chen Banxia's grades were pretty good and he ranked among the best in several exams. They were all from the same batch of students, so he still knew about it.
But the most powerful one is Zhou Liru. After graduating from a group of well-educated people like Zheng Gu, her overall score has always been among the top three, and she has been able to beat him several times.
Man Bao said: "Let Chen Banxia and Su Ye bring a few people to deal with it and try their best to concoct the medicinal materials."
Wen Tiandong hesitated for a moment, then said: "There is a box of Scutellaria baicalensis in it, and some of the bottom ones are damp and moldy."
Man Bao's face tightened, and he pursed his lips in displeasure. Finally, he suppressed his temper and said, "Pick it out and throw it away. No, bring it to me."
Seeing that she didn't lose his temper, Wen Tiandong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked: "How are you going to prepare this box of Scutellaria baicalensis?"
"Honey moxibustion. Most of the wounded soldiers on the battlefield are related to blood loss. Honey moxibustion with Scutellaria baicalensis can replenish the heart and replenish Qi." Man Bao muttered: "Write back and tell the Imperial Medical Office that the next batch of medicinal materials must contain seven percent Scutellaria baicalensis.
It’s honey moxibustion.”
"Yes." Wen Tiandong made a note of it and then bowed and exited. When he came out of the tent, he saw Bai Shan standing outside with his hands behind his back. He was startled and quickly lowered his head to salute and said respectfully: "Master...father-in-law.
"
A smile flashed in Bai Shan's eyes, he nodded to him, took a step aside and said with a smile: "Go and get busy."
Wen Tiandong breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.
Bai Shan then opened the curtain and went in.
Man Bao was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't help but smile when he saw him, stood up and went to greet him, "I didn't see you next to His Majesty."
Bai Shan smiled and said: "I and others went to handle official business. I will come over as soon as I finish my work."
He reached out and touched her brow, trying to smooth it out, "What are you so angry about?"
Man Bao grabbed his hand, turned around and sat on the chair and said: "Forget it, we went to count the first batch of medicinal materials yesterday. Two boxes of them were exchanged. The quantity is the same, but there is one box of baked goods.
Angelica sinensis and honey moxibustion Scutellaria baicalensis were replaced by raw medicinal materials."
Bai Shan frowned. The value of prepared medicinal materials and raw medicinal materials are different, and the medicinal properties are also very different. Some raw medicinal materials are even poisonous.
Man Bao said: "The usage of raw medicinal materials and the processed medicinal materials are different, and the effects are different. Fortunately, Wen Tiandong and the others checked carefully. Huh, those people spread a layer of processed medicinal materials on top, and the bottom is all raw materials."
The medicinal materials mentioned on the list are also processed. If the person who prepares the medicine is not careful, he will use the raw medicinal materials as processed..."
Man Bao grinds his teeth. Astragalus can nourish the body and strengthen the surface, dilute water and reduce swelling, relieve toxins and promote muscle growth, while honey moxibustion can nourish the middle and replenish qi, treat internal injuries and hemorrhage. The effects and usage are completely different.
Bai Shan frowned and asked, "Has it been reported?"
Man Bao sneered and said: "There are at least four batches of medicinal materials behind. Wen Tiandong asked the people escorting them and said that if they didn't give some benefits on the way, the medicinal materials would not be delivered at all. I don't care if what they said is true.
If it’s fake, write it down in advance and settle the accounts later.”
Bai Shan nodded, "The war is indeed the most important thing at this time. If any of these four batches of medicinal materials are not delivered in time, you will be short of medicine."
Man Bao nodded, "But I am not a vegetarian. I have already made a denunciation with His Majesty."
Zhou Man was not a vegetarian, and the Emperor was certainly not a vegetarian. Although she said it in a vague way and did not complain openly, a battle had just ended and not many people were injured, so it was time to urgently need the second batch of medicine.
There must have been something wrong with the first batch of medicines, so she was looking for trouble with the second batch of medicines.
So the emperor couldn't help but turned around and asked Duke Zhao, "Is there any problem with the food and grass?"
Zhao Guogong said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm keeping an eye on you. The local authorities don't dare to go too far. This is not the time to pursue the case."
All food and grass must be collected from the local area.
Zhao Guogong said: "If your Majesty is not happy, you can settle the matter later, but at this time, stability is the main thing."
The emperor nodded and said with a sullen face: "As long as they don't go too far, I'll just turn a blind eye."
At this time, nothing was as important as the Eastern Expedition.
Zhao Guogong knew that it was because of Zhou Man's complaint today. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou is still young and has a smooth sailing. He has not experienced the dangers outside, so he cannot bear the slightest grievance."
The emperor asked: "What wrong did she suffer? The local government withheld her medicinal materials?"
"Not really," the smile on Zhao Guogong's face also faded, and he said: "Perhaps they also know that Lord Zhou is a popular person in front of His Majesty, so they didn't dare to go too far. They only changed her two boxes of medicine, but I heard that she also
I was so angry that when I first checked it out, I kicked the box angrily and locked up the escort. I questioned him for a long time before letting him go."
Naturally, this military matter cannot be hidden from Duke Zhao. It depends on whether he wants to let others know that he knows.
