Chapter 852: First Experience of Fengxiao Liaodong

The houses in Tuhe City were originally made of brick and wood, but most of them were in ruins. In the past few years, all the houses in the city have been renovated, and there are also young engineering teams that professionally build fire kangs and fire walls for the houses. There are stoves and furnaces. Although there is no heating, the fire walls have replaced the heating to a certain extent. In winter, coal is burned at home, and the chimney emits black smoke. There are double-glazed windows with large fans, which makes it quite warm and comfortable to stay at home.

Guo Jia entered the courtyard and looked at the furnishings. There were tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, and everything. There was also a desk in the room, with pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and a wooden shelf next to it, which was used to place books and ornaments.

The sun shone in from outside, and the room was very bright. If it was at night, there were also candles for lighting. The room was not clean, and it was still covered with dust, so you had to sweep and clean it yourself. There was also a new blue quilt on the kang, wrapped in linen on the outside, and it was obvious that it had just been delivered.

With more people coming to apply, there was a set of procedures for handling employment.

The clerk walked over and picked up a cardboard envelope on the table, from which he pulled out a stack of general's money: "Sir, this is the salary that was paid in advance, which can be used to buy things and settle down. Later, the people from the inn will deliver all your things to you. You can settle down today. After noon tomorrow, someone will come to find you to arrange a position, and will also send you a horse to facilitate your travel."

After saying this, he took Guo Jia around the yard, the warehouse, the toilet, etc., bowed, and left.

Guo Jia looked around inside and outside for a few times, took out the inspection report and looked at it again and again, and sat down on the stone steps in front of the door without caring whether it was dirty or not, with a lot of emotion in his heart.

Although he had great ambitions and wanted to choose a wise master to help him achieve great things, he never thought that he would be poor all his life, let alone that he would not be able to express his ambitions. But when everything really started, looking back at the past, it was inevitable to sigh.

After staying like this for a long time, the people in the inn came over with his donkey and bag, helped tie him to the stable, and politely left.

Guo Jia had already learned that there were no slaves or servants in Liaodong. Even military officers who were awarded the title of lieutenant had no servants. They only had 500 personal guards when fighting and a group of guards when not fighting. As for civilian officials, forget it, there is nothing.

If you want others to help you work, you can only hire them. If you dare to bully others, it may be difficult to report for a while, but once the incident happens, no matter how high the official is, the end is quite miserable, and it is difficult to die.

In fact, under the rule of Liaodong, the people are quite tough. In the future, there may be situations where people swallow their anger and dare not report, or have no way to seek help, but now, anyone who dares to bully others will be tied up directly by the people.

All men have been trained. They all have armor and weapons at home. Even if they don't have armor and are unarmed, three or five people can form a battle formation together, which is quite combat-effective. Once they go home and put on armor and weapons, they will shout from the village, and dozens or even hundreds of men will go out in formation. Officers at all levels are equipped and can fight when they are pulled out.

This is quite terrifying. It is such a tough folk custom that suppresses the greed of officials.

In fact, in ancient times, crossbows and armor were strictly controlled. The reason is very simple. It is the same consideration as two thousand years later. Crossbows can accumulate momentum and can be fired. They do not need years of practice like bows and arrows to have powerful lethality. Armor is because once armor is put on, it greatly enhances defense and combat effectiveness is raised by several levels.

After all, as long as you guarantee your own safety, no matter whether you know martial arts or not, as long as the enemy cannot easily break through the defense, just swing the knife and chop.

This is also a special measure for a special period. Wang Yan will definitely confiscate armor and crossbows in the future. Now it is for self-defense. In the future, there will be no big enemies inside, only some bad guys, so it’s not a big problem...

Guo Jia naturally has no servants. He is alone, fetching water from the well, wiping the dust in the house, sweeping the courtyard, and working until the evening. Only then can he be considered to have cleaned up.

Touching his empty stomach, he took out the general's money from the house, packed the verification, staggered out of Tuhe City, and went to the wine and food restaurant next to the inn to eat.

As expected, he saw several familiar faces who went to meet the general together today. They were all poor scholars with empty pockets and greedy worms. After receiving the first salary, the first thing they did was to come to the wine and food restaurant to spend some money.

After a delicious meal full of meat and a pot of wine, Guo Jia returned home in a daze. He took off his clothes in a hurry and fell asleep on the soft quilt. He turned over from time to time because of the heat, smacked his lips, and slept soundly...

The next day, before he woke up, Guo Jia was woken up from the window.

He opened his eyes in confusion and yawned loudly. Guo Jia looked at a smiling young man in a green shirt standing outside the open window.

Guo Jia felt very soft and had no strength at all. He simply didn't say anything polite. He sat up and put his hair behind his head. He casually bowed his hands: "I was drunk last night, so I slept. Why are you here, sir?"

The person outside the window was obviously well-informed and didn't think there was anything wrong with Guo Jia at all. He bowed his hands in return.

He was responsible for leading people to handle work issues. Except for winter, most of the scholars who came to Liaodong during warm weather were like Guo Jia, and there was nothing strange about it. After all, they traveled a long distance to Liaodong, met the general and were arranged to go there, and settled down in Liaodong. Most of them would go to the wine and food shops near the inn to eat and drink. The wine there was strong liquor, and the whole person relaxed immediately. Such a look was really normal.

He said, "I am a minor official in the government, and I dare not be a teacher. I am here to serve you. Please dress and wash yourself, and follow me to the government to receive the seal and official clothes. Then go out of the city to choose a good horse and go to the place where you will govern in the future. You will take up your post in two days."

"Please wait for a moment."

Guo Jia bowed his hands, and got up despite the weakness on his body. He put on his clothes, tied his hair, fetched water in the yard, found a wooden basin to wash his face, searched his bag, got toothpaste made of plant ash, found the toothbrush at that time, brushed his teeth, and then ran to the toilet to tidy up. Only then did he leave with the minor official in good condition.

He went out and went to the government not far away, received the seal, four sets of blue shirts, two sets of spring, summer and autumn, two sets of winter cotton clothes, and three pairs of official boots, two pairs of cloth single boots, and one pair of animal leather cotton boots. This is the standard civilian official clothing in Liaodong. In addition, there are four jade belts, which are waist belts, which are the same as the clothes.

The seal and the ribbon are separate. The seal is the seal, and the ribbon is the ribbon with the seal. In Liaodong, the seal and the ribbon are one. The seal is divided into materials, and the ribbon is divided into colors and materials. Together with the belt, they are used to distinguish official positions.

For example, the pavilion chief has a bluestone seal, a linen ribbon, and a linen belt. The further township chief has a white jade seal, a silk ribbon, and a silk belt. Going up in sequence, the materials of the seals are getting better and better, and the ribbons and belts are getting more and more beautiful.

There are two seals, one is the personal rank identity seal, and the other is the official seal of the position. Pavilions, townships, counties, etc. all have a separate seal. This is a local seal, which does not follow the superior.

Clothes and shoes are the same regardless of official position, and the clerks who do things are also dressed the same. This is a unified official image.

Guo Jia took the clothes home and changed them. Although the new clothes are also made of linen, they are better than his previous clothes that were washed white. After changing his clothes and getting his seal, he followed the clerk out of the city, picked a horse at the horse farm, and then rode eastward to Wangjun Pavilion in Tianen Township under Tuhe.

Many of the place names in Liaodong were given by the people themselves. The general named the county, and the names of the townships and pavilions below were all given by the people. At the beginning, there were no scholars and civilian officials in the townships and pavilions, and they were all reluctantly done by elderly people.

"Wangjun Pavilion governs 230 households and 1,563 people, including 829 men and 734 women. Men and women under the age of 17..."

Wangjun Pavilion is an unwalled building composed of several large houses. After greeting each other, the deputy director of Wangxiang Pavilion introduced the overall situation to Guo Jia, and also introduced the responsibilities of the pavilion chief.

Guo Jia listened very seriously, because the pavilion chief had a lot of work to do. Farming, pregnant women, newborns, hygiene, fire prevention, children's schooling, neighborhood conflicts, real estate income, statistics on the surplus of grain fields in people's homes, birth registration, death cancellation, marriage, division of family, militia training, etc.

Within ten miles of Wangjun Pavilion, all matters big and small must be coordinated and resolved by the pavilion chief, and there are also reports, various data statistics, and the implementation of various generals' offices and government orders. It's a mess, and big and small things are handled at once. It can be said that within these ten miles, the pavilion chief is like a local emperor.

It's just that they don't have the power to judge cases. If someone breaks the law and commits a crime under their jurisdiction, the police lieutenant can arrest them, but they have to go to the township to judge, and there will be more investigation procedures. This power cannot be controlled by local officials in any case. Otherwise, human lives will be taken lightly, and local officials will truly become local emperors who hold the power of life and death.

As long as someone dies, the superior police lieutenant will come to visit on the spot to confirm the cause. In this way, coupled with the tough folk customs and the courage to speak out, mistakes can be avoided to a large extent.

This is the basic means for General Wang to govern the people's livelihood, so that the people under his rule can maintain the spirit of struggle, which can largely guarantee the healthy operation of government agencies.

Of course, the ultimate reason for all this is that Wang Yan, the ruler, is not afraid of civil unrest. He believes in the people under his rule...

And there are only four staff members in a pavilion, the chief and deputy chiefs and two police lieutenants. The police lieutenants are local, and the chief and deputy chiefs are from other places.

Four people are in charge of all the affairs of a pavilion with thousands of people. The workload is quite huge. Guo Jia's scalp tingles when he thinks about it. It's terrible...

This is certainly not the complete form of the grassroots governance office. In the future, there will be a doctor. When the schoolchildren grow up, the students of the village will also be used. They are all free labor, and they can be ordered around. It will greatly reduce the pressure on formal officials and give students some grassroots experience. Born in the grassroots and governing the grassroots are two different things after all...

That afternoon, Guo Jia first went to the medical clinic to get a bowl of soup and drank it. After that, he ran out of the city and went to the medical school to find Hua Tuo to learn how to keep healthy. He had to learn, otherwise he was afraid that the terrible workload of the pavilion chief would tire him to death.

The medical school took more than two years to build. Although it is not as tall and magnificent as the Wenchang Pavilion, it occupies a large area.

Because the training system of medicine is different, after learning basic cultural knowledge, school children must be selected to study medicine at the age of ten. This requires medicine to have multiple classrooms and dormitories for students' graded study and accommodation for students studying out of town. It also needs a research place for doctors, a living place for doctors and their families, and its own library to collect medical books and provide some other books for students.

Furthermore, the general requested that girls can also attend school, that accommodation should be divided into male and female dormitories, and toilets should be divided into male and female students. On the other hand, under the policy of martial arts for all people in Liaodong, medical students also need to practice martial arts, military formation tactics, etc., and they also need a large school ground. For so many people to eat, there must be a canteen. In order to show respect and preferential treatment to doctors, a small canteen must be set up, and so on.

Most importantly, as the most high-end medical school in the world, it must have the best medical conditions. Therefore, medicine also includes a quite large medical center, where all intractable diseases and critically ill patients are treated here, with wards and dedicated care...

According to two thousand years later, medicine is a comprehensive medical college for students aged ten to twenty years old, with all facilities including food and accommodation, study, and sports facilities.

Not only that, because Hua Tuo is both a great medical order and a medical sacrificial wine, medicine is not only a place for education, but also the office of the Medical Office under the General's Mansion, the highest unit that manages all medical and health affairs under the General's Mansion...

In the medical clinic affiliated with medicine, Guo Jia found Hua Tuo who was taking a group of apprentices to see a doctor. He didn't interrupt, and just stood aside and looked at the situation on the field. His mind was thinking about General Wang's government structure and his great ambitions.

As the saying goes, "You can tell the whole story by looking at a small part." When you listen to the deputy chief of the pavilion talking about the responsibilities of the grassroots in Wangjun Pavilion, you can know what the general's office is going to do. Although you still don't understand it in detail, you can roughly see the political system that is different from today's Han Dynasty. , just by looking at the statistical data, you can know the general level of affluence in Liaodong.

Now there is such a big medical school, cultivating a large number of doctors. He had visited Wenchang Pavilion and the school before, and felt the unprecedented ideals and strong determination of General Wang.

After a long time and seeing several patients, Hua Tuo glanced at Guo Jia, glanced at the seal on Guo Jia's waist, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I am Guo Jia, named Fengxiao. I am from Yingchuan. I have recently joined the general. The general has appointed me as the chief of the military pavilion in Tian'en Township." Guo Jia bowed to him and said, "The general said that I am weak and weak. The doctor prescribed the treatment and asked me to learn how to maintain my health with the miraculous doctor to strengthen my body. I also asked the miraculous doctor to teach me."

"I am not a miracle doctor. The general's medical skills are better than mine." Hua Tuo waved his hand, "The general must be lazy. The five-animal guidance technique I created was only perfected after consulting the general. I want you to come. If you ask for advice, you must be lazy, so why don’t I work hard?”

Hua Tuo angrily condemned General Wang's behavior, sighed because of his hard work, and looked at Guo Jia, "How good is your memory?"

"Not bad."

"Come with me. It's getting late, so we should have a late meal. After digestion, I will teach you the art of guiding the five animals." Hua Tuo waved his hand, turned and left, and Guo Jia hurriedly followed.

Wuqinxi was originally created by Hua Tuo. He knew that Wang Yan had superb medical skills and was a peerless warrior. Although he did not see Wang Yan's killing scenes, he secretly asked Zhen Sheng if he was bragging too hard to Wang Yan. , Zhen Sheng gave a negative answer, and talked in detail about the general's combat effectiveness.

So Hua Tuo got interested and found Wang Yan to see if there was anything wrong with his Five-Animal Guidance method.

Wang Yan took a look and saw the original version of Wu Qin Xi. This is a guidance technique that combines internal and external use, using movements to move qi, as well as visualization methods. But it has no fighting power.

At this time, Wang Yan took out his improved version of physical fitness exercises. However, his body-building exercises focus on external training, which is for promotion purposes. Relatively speaking, internal training has a higher threshold and is not easy to promote. Taking the body-building exercises, Hua Tuo's Wu Qin Xi was modified so that it not only has the ability to guide Qi, but also exercises muscles, joints, and bones.

There are two reasons why this exercise has not been popularized. First, if you practice it too much, your appetite will increase, and you will not be able to eat enough food and meat to supplement your health, and you will easily lose weight. Secondly, it has little combat effectiveness and is purely a way to maintain health. Now is not the time to promote this method.

If this were not the case, there would be no need for Hua Tuo to teach.

Guo Jiagang arrived and saw everything new. He looked around all the way and followed Hua Tuo to the Xiaozao Canteen. The food here was better than that of the students. The apprentice of the fat cook of the General Mansion was in charge.

But compared to the restaurants near Guanyi, it is far behind. As long as you have money there, you can get four dishes and one soup for every meal every day.

Therefore, Guo Jia, who had just enjoyed a meal yesterday, felt that it was almost meaningless.

Of course Hua Tuo knew the behavior of the newly arrived scholars, and they were basically like this, but he didn't pay attention to them and just kept eating.

Guo Jia asked curiously: "The general calls you a miracle doctor. He must have superb medical skills. If so, why did you come to Liaodong?"

Every time someone asked, Lao Hua always looked sad: "I am a native of Qiao County, Peiguo. I have achieved good results in medicine. I am a doctor in the clouds, treating illnesses and saving people. When I traveled to Nanyang, I met Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, whose son was suffering from hemorrhagic disease. Neither I nor Zhang Zhongjing of Nanyang could cure him. It happened that the Wuji Zhen family was traveling to various places to make a name for the general. He said that Han Sheng was unwilling to leave his son alive and asked for my protection. He came here to seek medical advice.

The general could not cure it, but he could make Han Sheng's son live ten years longer, so Han Sheng stayed here to repay his kindness. He is now the captain of Xuanwu, and his troops are stationed in Linyu. His son is a minor official in the general's mansion, so it is convenient for the general to take care of him from time to time.

I exchanged medical skills with the general, and he said that he wanted to make all the people in the world have medicine, and invited me to help him achieve great things. I was undecided, so the general persuaded me with the old story of Cai Gong..."

"Oh~~" Guo Jia's voice was long, and he nodded repeatedly, with a face full of "I understand everything".

The matter of Cai Yong is not a secret. Everyone in the world knows that Wang Yan is shameless. He dispatched 3,000 troops to the south and abducted Cai Yong to the north. Even Dong Zhuo issued an order to Liaodong to recruit Cai Yong, and scolded Wang Yan and asked Wang Yan to release him quickly.

Of course, Wang Yan ignored Dong Zhuo. After all, he was beaten up by a group of people, and he was also beaten by Lu Bu. Kill him.

Hua Tuo shook his head with a smile: "I did have complaints at that time, but now I have no regrets..."

He sighed again. It was really a big deal. Zhongjing, when will you come...
