That was what Old Man Pi thought. He could not help but admire the two experts from the Zhang family. They could make anything. However, there was a prerequisite, and that was, the Zhang family needed that kind of thing.
For example, the lightning rod. He had never seen the Zhang family use it before. However, when the thunderstorm came and they had to go up the mountain, the lightning rod appeared. Then came the cement. Who would have thought of making something like that?
However, in order to build more lighthouses, the Zhang family created the cement. Then, it was used to burn the cement and make gas masks. In the end, the gas masks could not protect the eyes. Then, the thing called glass came out.
It was not much different from glass, but it was said to be very cheap. After the glass came out, mirrors were also made. It seemed that all these things were only brought out when they were about to be used. Usually, as long as it was not used, there was no news at all. What kind of situation was this?
Old Man Pi believed that if the two experts from the Zhang family were willing, they could make something better. Unfortunately, they were only willing to do it when they were forced to a certain extent.
Old Man Chang had the same idea. The two experts from the Zhang family seemed to always be able to come up with a good idea, but why did they not think about it normally? Why?
If Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan heard this, they would definitely complain. It was not that they did not want to, but some things needed to be done slowly. How could they have it just because they wanted to? Moreover, the two of them were too busy. Children of their age were running around outside all day. Only the Zhang Family and Wang Family knew how many things they had to take care of.
How could they have so much energy to spend on other things? They were not robots. The two of them were responsible for everything in the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. Even if there was a swindler, Zhang Xiaobao would have to deal with him. They had to train the army, learn knowledge, and consider every aspect of Lu Zhou.
In addition to these, the two of them still had to take care of the other transactions. This was because the two of them were used to being busy in the past. If it were a normal person, they would be exhausted to death. Fortunately, the two of them had always grasped the time to rest very well. They would never lack rest because of too many things. The two of them didn't want to die from exhaustion so early. It wasn't worth it.
Old Man Pi and Old Man Chang would never have thought of these things. Now, Old Man Chang wrote down the recent events in detail so that Old Master could decide whether to follow this method or not. He even did not let go of the special delivery room.
As he wrote down Old Man Chang, he said, "I also admire them, especially that delivery room. There were so many women who were about to give birth, but none of them had any problems. Would you dare to imagine it if it was a normal time? It's normal for two or three out of ten people to die, but the Zhang family can guarantee that nothing will happen to them.
As for the women who were in confinement, usually, four or five of them would be left with the root cause of the illness. But look at their place, it was well arranged. When the time came for the women who were in confinement, nothing happened to them. The most unexpected thing was that some of them didn't have breast milk. I don't know how the doctors they sent did it, but they just rubbed it and made it out. Don't you think it's strange? "
"It's strange. That's why I followed them here. If I had known, I would have come earlier. Maybe I could have known more details. I found that the experts in their family thought a lot about the lives of the people. As long as the people's lives were not good, for example, many people couldn't find a job, they would immediately arrange a job for them.
This is what I agree with the most. If all the officials could have such a person in their family, then good days would come for the common people of our dynasty. It's a pity that he just stays in the Zhang Clan and doesn't go anywhere else. If they were brought to Your Majesty's side, they would be able to talk to Your Majesty more often and come up with more good ideas. Then our Great Tang would have no need to worry about prosperity. "
After hearing Old Man Chang's words, Old Man Pi sighed again. He didn't expect the two experts in the Zhang family to come out by themselves. He just hoped that Zhang Zhong could become a higher official as soon as possible, especially in the imperial court.
As long as that was the case, the two experts in the Zhang family would do more things. After all, they were in different positions.
When Old Man Chang heard Old Man Pi's words, he suddenly smiled and said, "I have an idea that might work. Since the people in the Zhang family are willing to help the people, then we can use the people to force them to come out. For example, we can catch some people and tell them that if the two of them don't come out, we'll kill the people.
Of course, we can't do this directly. We can arrange for some people in the Zhang family who don't know to do it. When the time comes, I don't believe that they won't come out. What do you think? What will they choose? "
"I don't think so. They will kill the two of us first. Do you think the two experts in the Zhang family can't see it? If they don't come out, will the people you sent kill them or not? If they kill the people, they can only wait for revenge. If they don't kill them, they will be more certain of something.
What worried me the most wasn't this matter. Even if he guessed, he might not be able to guess the two of us. I always felt that those two people were very good at calculating and could calculate everything. As long as we were calculated, we wouldn't be able to live a good life. If the people were fine, they would take revenge. If the people were really injured, I think the people of our two families would be killed by the experts of the Zhang family.
If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself. Let's make a deal first. When the people in the Zhang family ask me about this, I will tell them everything. I won't help you hide it. Otherwise, my family will be finished. "
When Old Man Pi heard Old Man Chang's words, he knew that it was a bad idea. If this kind of thing was really done, once people found out, his side would be finished. Even Old Man Chang's master, Zhang Jiuling, and the others would not be able to live a good life.
Were the two experts in the Zhang family so easy to provoke? They clearly knew that the two of them loved the people, but they still wanted to use the people. The result would not be good. If the two of them were forced to leave Tang, it would not be enough even if they died a thousand times.
At this time, Old Man Chang did not say anything. Just now, he was going to let Old Man Pi do this, but he was not going to do it. Seeing that Old Man Pi said that he would tell the Zhang family, what else could he do?
How could the Zhang family not ask Old Man Pi at that time? Since he could not do it, then he continued to write. As he wrote, he stopped and said,
"Do you think that the doctor that came with the Zhang family this time is a little different from the previous ones? In the past, when the doctors encountered some problems, they would find a way to treat it. For example, when there was a big wound on the body, they would usually apply medicine to it.
But the doctors who came with us were different. They discovered that those who had large wounds actually used needles to stitch them up. That was fine. After all, the stitches they made were pretty good. What I didn't understand was that there was a person who had an accident on the inside of his stomach. They actually cut open his stomach and tidied up the insides. In the end, they sewed it up again.
That person is still alive now. Is he the reincarnation of Hua Tuo? How is that possible? How did they know the situation in the stomach? Do you know? I just don't understand. If it were me, if I cut open a person's stomach, I would not know what was inside at all. But they knew. "
Old Man Chang was very curious about this surgery. He did not object to others cutting open a person's stomach, but he felt that it was a little unbelievable. In the past, he had only heard that the powerful Hua Tuo could cut open a person's stomach, and then sew it back up again after the treatment.
Those things that were done here were all the same, especially when it came to giving birth. In the beginning, Old Man Chang did not know what those doctors were doing with all kinds of special tools. Later, when he saw a person with an injury in her stomach being cut open for treatment, he finally understood.
Those female doctors who stayed in the delivery room were only prepared to use knives to give birth to the child that could not be born. It was too scary. No wonder they were not afraid of dystocia. At that time, they said that there was no need to worry about dystocia. They would definitely give birth to the child. It turned out that they were using such methods.
Old Man Chang only knew that others could perform surgery, but Old Man Pi knew more things. He had discovered that when Zhang Zhong was an official in Huayuan County, there were often ghosts there. The people who had just died were buried, but immediately found that they were gone. After a few days, they came back, but there were many more wounds on their bodies. Those wounds were obviously sewn up.
Some of the internal organs were also missing. Some people said that the evil spirits took the people away, ate the insides, and sewed them back together.
Old Man Pi really did not understand what was going on at that time. Anyway, he did not believe in ghosts. Until he saw that the doctors brought by Zhang Zhong could so skillfully cut and sew up the wounds of others, he understood. So that was what happened.
He did not expose this matter, and he did not blame the Zhang family for doing this. After all, people were dead. Even if they went to the underworld, it had nothing to do with this world. Since the dead could help the living do something useful, then even if he died one day, he was willing to let others cut his body. As long as more people could be saved, he would be satisfied.
Thinking of this, Old Man Pi said to Old Man Chang, "In fact, it's very simple. Their knife skills were practiced from the dead. You know the dead, right? They dug up the people who had just died and cut them bit by bit with a knife until they were familiar with the cut and knew what the place should look like. Then, they could do it.
As for the bones, they would deliberately break them and touch them with their hands. After touching them, they would cut open the skin and flesh to see if it felt the same as when they touched it. Didn't you notice that they were very familiar with the way they dealt with the broken bones in the first place?
These are all experiences gained from the dead. I think the reason why they were brought here is that the Zhang family was afraid that they would spread the news. If that happened, the Zhang family would be finished. When more people could accept it, Zhang Zhong would not be afraid. Now, do you understand?
I've already thought about it. If I die one day, I'll tell them to send this body of mine to that medical school and let those doctors use my body to practice their skills. If I can save one more person because of my body, I'll be able to rest in peace in the afterlife. "
Old Man Pi was very serious when he said this. It did not seem like he was joking at all. Old Man Chang stopped writing and looked at Old Man Pi without blinking. After a while, he nodded seriously and said, "Good, good.
"Good, good ability. No wonder they can save so many people. It turns out that they trained from the bodies of the dead. Good, I have also decided that when the day comes that I can't live anymore, I will also give my body to them. I believe that even my parents won't blame me when they know how many people my body can save."
"Then, don't tell anyone about this, especially your family's master, Zhang Jiuling. Who knows what others will think? What I am thinking now is how to help them steal more people's bodies. The more bodies there are, the better their practice will be.
Let's not talk about anything else. You saw the action of cutting people's stomachs that day, right? What did the people around say? We should help them more. Since Hua Tuo can cut people, why can't the doctors here? "
Old Man Pi actually wanted to drag Old Man Chang in with him.
Don't worry about anything else. Just do what you're supposed to do. When you cut, pay attention to your limits. 'Yes, that's what he said. It turns out that they were asking for stability at that time. Yes, you have to practice more. Only by practicing more can you keep up with the stability. Yes, you have to practice more. Only by practicing more can you keep up with the stability.
I think that this matter should be taught to Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. The two of them are already stable at such a young age. If they are older, they will not be comparable to ordinary people. "
Old Man Chang recalled what he heard and saw that day. Suddenly, he thought of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He wanted them to learn medicine as well.
Old Man Pi smiled mysteriously and said, "How do you know that they won't? If they don't want to be good people, then they want to be good doctors. Zhang Xiaobao's ambition is not small. Maybe they are practicing with dead people now. "
"Oh, that's right. They have learned a lot, and they are very good at it. I don't know how they learned it. If it were an ordinary child, they would not know anything at this age. They would only listen to what others say. These two are definitely not like that. A lot of things are done by the two of them."
Old Man Chang was very happy to hear Old Man Pi's words. In his heart, he had already treated Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan as his own grandson and granddaughter. The more powerful they were, the happier he was. If anyone wanted to hurt them, he would fight to the death.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not know that what they were doing had been guessed by others. They were still busy with the amusement park.
As for the matter of the swindlers, it was still early. No matter what, they had to wait until the other side took away the first fish eggs and seeds. Especially Zhang Xiaobao, he didn't believe that those people were just trying to cheat a little bit of money.
Wang Juan took the time to ask Zhang Xiaobao, "Xiao Bao, I suddenly thought of something. Those people are using Qinzhou's identification, and they need our Chamber of Commerce to vouch for them. If we really vouch for them, when something happens, will we go to Qinzhou?"
"Qinzhou? What's the point of going there? They won't admit to it. If I'm not wrong, even if we send people there to ask, they will only admit to it verbally. But when something really happens, they will deny it. If you don't believe me, you can get a seal from Qinzhou and compare it with the seal from Qinzhou. This is definitely something that the Ning Clan did on purpose.
How could they not think of a way out? If they want to cheat a little bit of money before leaving, then they won't have any chance. If they leave for a little bit of money, then they can spread the news that they cheated our family. "
Zhang Xiaobao was in this line of work, including his analysis of human nature. He could see that the other side was doing this on purpose. If they were cheated and really went to look for them, then it would be even more embarrassing.
"Ah? How could it involve such matters? What should we do? What if they run away this time? Do we need to send people to keep an eye on them? "
Wang Juan suddenly thought of the consequences of this matter, so she asked Zhang Xiaobao. After asking, she realized that she shouldn't have asked. Since Zhang Xiaobao said it, how could he not be prepared?
Sure enough, Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said, "I already arranged people to keep an eye on them. But if they run away now, I won't let people catch them immediately. Instead, I will let people follow them and see where they go. At the same time, we don't need to stop here. The fish eggs are actually very good, they can be made into high-priced caviar.
It's a pity that they used their clever minds on other things and didn't use them here at all. Otherwise, why would they hate us? Isn't it just because they are jealous of our things? "
"So that's how it is. Then, should we raise a lot of fish in the future?" When Wang Juan heard that the fish could be made into caviar, she had a plan in her heart. This thing was really good, and if there was a little promotion, more people would be willing to come and eat it.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and said, "Not in the future, but now. Didn't they say that they were buying fish eggs? That didn't say when the fish had to be collected. When the time came for the fish to lay eggs, the eggs would be moved away and incubated elsewhere. When the fish hatched, there would be more fish.
As for the money that the people take out, we can give it to them secretly. That is, let the people help us raise the fish. In this way, we don't have to worry about other things. When they see that they didn't cheat too much money the first time, they must wait for the second time. Many swindlers are like this, so swindlers with such ideas will eventually be caught.
Ordinary people don't know how to make a choice, so they will lose some money. If swindlers don't know how to make a choice, what they lose is not as simple as money, they will lose their freedom. Let's delay them for a few days. Don't worry. "
"Oh! It turns out that it's not easy to be a good swindler. Ah, it seems that I can't do it. Like you said, when I do something, I want to do it as perfectly as possible. I can't cheat people, as long as I'm not good enough. "
When Wang Juan said this, it was unknown whether she was praising or belittling people.
Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile, "Only those who pursue perfection are suitable to be swindlers. Sometimes, being able to retreat at the critical moment is also a kind of perfection. A real fool rushing forward is a pity."
"Well, let's not talk about swindlers. We'll do as you said. Let's see what they can do when the time comes. This trick is too bad. Even I can see it at a glance. I don't know what they are thinking. Do they really think that the Zhang family is so easy to bully? Come, let's pursue perfection here and build the outermost amusement park. "
Wang Juan stopped talking about the swindling and put her mind on the construction of the amusement park. Zhang Xiaobao also began to get busy.
They were all busy with their own things. Those people from the Yellow River Shipping Company finally couldn't bear it anymore. They came here to make a fortune, not to stay idle. The people here didn't care about their things at all. They now understood that the plan was a lie. Although it was written well, in fact, it was useless at all. Instead, it made them lose a lot of money this time.
More than a dozen owners gathered together this time. A few days ago, they separated and wanted to look for good business, especially to sell the things on the ship this time. As a result, they went to some places and met merchants from various places. When they talked about the things on the ship, the merchants looked at them as if they were not ordinary people.
This was a big blow to them. They never thought that this would happen. Now they knew that there was no shortage of fur here, and there was no need for those leftovers. Even if they gave the things on the ship to others for free, they would not want them.
Moreover, they also knew that the goods on Lu Zhou's ship could not be bought with money like before. They had to join the Chamber of Commerce here. If they wanted to join the Chamber of Commerce, they first had to take out some money, and the amount was not small.
They had tried to find the local people, wanting to buy something from them. In the end, the people were on guard against them as if they were guarding against thieves, which made them feel very defeated.
