The people of the Protectorate quickly found a piece of land for Zhou Man, just outside the city.
Knowing that Zhou Man wanted to get smallpox, naturally no one dared to put things in the city. Once something happened, it would be fatal.
So the people in the Duhufu 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 farther place to go.
But although there is a small river there, it is not close to the river.
This is Man Bao's request, so as not to get too close to the water and pollute the water.
According to Zhou Man's request, two courtyards were built, one for the patient and the other for the caretaker.
The cows were also prepared for her, not many, only three, and they were tied in the yard.
After finishing these things, General Guo and the others also went out to fight, 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 wounded.
Man Bao saw that one of them had a broken arm, but fortunately it was an old injury, otherwise she would have to treat the injury first.
Man Bao took a pen and paper to record their names and household registrations, etc., and asked casually, "What did you commit?"
The six people were stunned, and said, "We didn't do anything wrong."
Man Bao raised his head to look at them, fixed his gaze, and asked, "Aren't you prisoners exiled to Xizhou?"
The faces of the six people changed, and they immediately said: "My lord, don't insult us, we are enlisted in the army, not prisoners."
Man Bao frowned slightly, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan also pursed his lips, turned around and said, "I'll ask."
As for the identity of the person who sent it, just ask the Duhufu.
They are really not prisoners, they are all Anxi soldiers serving in the military.
Bai Shan was also a little angry, holding their roster and asked, "Didn't you say you want prisoners?"
The officials of the Protectorate's Mansion 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's Mansion probably felt that his tone was too tough, so he paused and said, "Young Master Bai, people with sound limbs must go to the battlefield."
Bai Shan understood right away, they were unwilling to use the whole prisoner for them, and they would use it on the battlefield.
He frowned and asked, "Then there are no injuries?"
"Anyone 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 will be given to the prisoners. Basically, those with larger wounds will not survive, and those who can survive can continue to go to the battlefield.
The other party saw that Bai Shan's face was not very good-looking, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Bai, these people are also willing. Our major general promised them that they will get a settling money and reward money regardless of life or death afterwards. And let them take the silk cloth given by Young Master Bai."
Bai Shan: "Dead..."
"From the army to send things to their families."
Seeing Bai Shan's expression of disbelief, the other party's expression froze for a moment and then said: "Our major general will order people to do this, and no one dares to fool you."
General Guo naturally wouldn't give his son this face.
Bai Shan's face looked a little better now.
Then the official said with a smile: "Mr. Bai and Mr. Zhou are kind-hearted, and they are reluctant to use these soldiers, but this is a good thing for them. As you can see, they are physically handicapped, and Anxi is far away from the Central Plains. Far, not to mention that it is difficult for them to cross the desert and return to the Central Plains, but if they can go back, with a few rags and a broken knife, what will they do for a living after they go back? Isn’t it a drag on the family.”
Bai Shan's face was condensed, "When disabled veterans go back to their hometowns, they all have resettlement allowances."
"Oh, the imperial court stipulates that, so the army must have money," he said, "Do you think our Anxi army seems to be rich?"
He immediately added: "You can't look at our general, you have to look at the people below."
Bai Shancai's opened mouth closed again.
"The major general is the master. Anyone who applies for the draft will be given a settling allowance to return home. That's all. He will also give a reward of one hundred taels of silver, which will be shared equally regardless of life and death. Plus the silk cloth you gave , that’s a lot, and when I return to my hometown, I’ll save some money, and I’ll always be able to grow old with the help of my brothers, with less injuries, and maybe I’ll be able to find a daughter-in-law.”
The official said: "They are all vying to be medicine men for Mr. Zhou, but it is a pity that Mr. Zhou only wanted six at the beginning, so he only chose the six with the best health to send. Now there are more than 20 people waiting in the army. , I want to wait for the second dial."
Bai Shan was so angry that his heart ached, but he didn't know who it was. Although he didn't know much about the army, he also knew that not only the Anxi Army, but many armies could not properly accommodate veterans and remnants because it would cost a lot of money. There is too much money, grain and rice.
After all, it is still too poor.
Bai Shan turned around and left, went back and told Man Bao the truth: "Let's use them, it should be General Guo who said hello, otherwise the people sent here will only be worse."
Man Bao could only nod his head, "Then let's recuperate their bodies first."
Bai Shan nodded.
Man Bao went back to find some medicinal materials for invigorating qi and blood, and asked people to buy chickens to raise in the yard. From time to time, he would stew mutton for them and kill a chicken. He had three meals a day, and two of them had meat.
The soldiers ate in a daze, and after being in a daze for two days, they suddenly burst into tears. Man Bao, who was vaccinating the cow in the yard, shook his hand, and almost poked the cotton ball with the scab in the cow's eye.
She firmly pressed the cotton ball into the sinus of the cow first, and pressed it in after confirming that it touched the wound she had gently opened.
The cow moved anxiously.
After confirming that the cotton ball could not fall out for a while, Man Bao pushed it aside, let Zhou Liru stare at the cow from a distance, then went to wash his hands and change clothes, and then went to see them.
The six people were sitting at the table hugging each other and crying, and Bai Shan and others who were eating with them sat there blankly with their bowls in their hands. Seeing her come in, Bai Shan immediately said: "We didn't do anything."
Bai Erlang nodded immediately, "Yes, we didn't bully them."
Yin was also confused, this was his first day here, and he just wanted to see the excitement, who knew they could cry after having lunch together
Yin or put down the bowl and chopsticks, hesitantly said: "Is it because we robbed them of food?"
Bai Shan took out a handkerchief and handed it to the six people, "No way, although we ate together, we killed two chickens today."
The six wiped away their tears, and said in a choked voice: "I, we just feel that this is a meal with a severed head, and we like to eat it, but we don't want to eat it, but thinking about it, we can eat the meal with a severed head for so many days, and we are satisfied." .”
Man Bao: "...Who said it's time to cut off your head? This is for your body to recuperate, so as not to let your head be cut off."
She said loudly: "This is the first meal!"
