In the countryside on the outskirts of the city, several farmers returned home with hoes on their shoulders in the evening, and some of them were still waving straws in their hands to urge their oxen to plow the field. The setting sun slanted, and in the field of Jinxia, the cattle walked slowly, which inexplicably added a bit of artistic conception.
It was still raining in the sky, and the rain was already very small, with only a few strands of rain still swaying in the wind.
Guo Jia followed Xun on the small path among the fields, the ground under his feet was slippery, and the air was somewhat damp with the smell of mud.
From a distance, the two people saw a wooden building standing there beside a stream in the field, the only difference was that the wheel was very big and connected to many water tanks.
The "wheel" stands by the water, and as the stream flows, the wheel is also driven to rotate, and the wooden tube on the wheel brings the water to flow into the tank.
"Sky train?" Guo Jia looked at the building and stopped.
He let out a sigh, he had seen the description of this thing in the book before, but it was still a lot different from what he saw in front of him, obviously the one in front of him was more detailed.
"Yes, but it is still different from what you know. It was done by Mr. Yi Gu in the city, and it has improved a lot."
Seeing Guo Jia stop, Xun also stopped to look at Tian Gengli.
"With this thing, water can be lifted for agricultural use without manpower, and the cycle goes on and on, day and night."
"Cough cough."
After the rain, the weather turned cold, and Guo Jia coughed a few times.
"Mr. Gu, but the gentleman in white next to Cao Cao?"
Anyone who is willing to wait and see the current situation will definitely know this person. Cao Cao now holds the land of two states, and even among the princes, there are few people who can compare with him. And Cao Cao's ability to have such a momentum is absolutely indispensable to this person's handwriting.
But Guo Jia's eyes were only serious for a while, then he teased again and looked at Xun.
"I heard that Mr. Gu is a woman, Wen Ruo, have you seen it?"
Xun froze for a moment, then recalled something, froze, and sighed with a wry smile.
"It is indeed a woman, Feng Xiao, I kindly advise you, if you see her in the future, don't look at her."
After all, Gu Nan was only carrying a bamboo hat, and Xun Xun had been in Qingzhou for almost two years, and he had seen it once or twice by chance.
"Oh, why?" Guo Jia became even more interested when he saw Xun's appearance like this.
"Could it be that his appearance is ugly, or in other words, it's Cao Cao?"
"None of these." Xun Lianlian waved his hands and said helplessly.
"After reading it, it is easy to have distracting thoughts in the mind, which hinders the mind."
What would it look like if it hindered the mind, Guo Jia smiled and shook his head and didn't mention it again, only thinking that Xun was making a fuss.
The two walked through the field all the way, Xun all the way told Guo Jia about his time in Qingzhou, the curved plow in the field, and the iron shoe under the horse's shoe.
"After the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou was pacified, a large number of farm cattle, farm tools and people were obtained. Mr. Gu discussed with us how to use these farm tools to reclaim land in the Beihai area and implement farmland to solve food worries. First, harvest the barren unowned farmland. Returning, the refugees were organized into military formations, provided with land, seeds, cattle and farm tools, and cultivated by them, and the harvest was divided proportionally by the farmers in counties, counties and fields. Today is the first year, and a million dendrobium is obtained. "
"General Cao then ordered the prefectures to set up field officials and recruit exiled people to garrison the fields, and later ordered the army to garrison the fields."
In the distance was the field being reclaimed, and the light rain was like crisp. Xun smiled and patted his waist. After walking for a long time, his back was a little sore.
"Now this Qingzhou should be a rare place in this world where people can live better."
Even the refugees can work in the fields in exchange for food so as not to starve to death on the roadside. Compared with the famine and plague in some places from time to time, it is much better.
Guo Jia squinted his eyes and looked at the sporadic figures in the open fields in the light rain. He felt his chest stretched and his mouth curled up.
"If Xi Zhi knew about this place, I don't know what it would be like."
As he spoke, he squatted down and pulled up a weed in the field.
"It's true, why didn't Zhicai come with you?" Xun turned around and asked, "I also wrote to him, but there has been no reply."
Guo Jia fiddled with the weeds in his hand, the green grass was still stained with a little raindrops, he paused, and he said calmly.
"He, he passed away a year ago."
The rain is soft on the path.
In the sound of rain, it was not until Xun Di sighed softly that the silence was broken.
Life is alive, and life and death cannot be avoided. Some things can only be reported with a sigh, nothing more.
He looked at Guo Jia, and it was getting late, so he turned and walked towards the loop.
"It's raining and cold, you are not in good health, let's go back earlier."
"Oh, come to think of it, I don't know how long I have left." Guo Jia held the weed in his hand, raised his head to look at Xun, and asked with a smile.
"Tell me, how about I come to Qingzhou to retire?"
"That's how it should be." Xun held an umbrella and didn't look back.
"Otherwise, why would I lie to you to come to Qingzhou?"
Guo Jia smiled and looked at the person walking away, put down the weeds in his hand, got up and followed.
He is looking forward to the future of Qingzhou.
Although there are many people in the market in the morning, it is not as crowded as it is in the afternoon.
"Cough, cough, cough." There was a coughing sound from the street, and a young man came, and his face became paler as he coughed.
Taking a breath, Guo Jia smiled wryly. Yesterday's rain still made him catch a cold. When I woke up this morning, I felt terrible.
Fortunately, in Qingzhou, he knew a doctor, the little brother he met yesterday by chance.
As for why he is the little brother, although he is not short, his chin is so white and his voice is soft, so he should not be very old.
Said to live in the house across the street.
Standing at the gate of the market, Guo Jia looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a small mansion, which was the only mansion on this street.
Walking forward slowly, when there was no one in front of the door, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door was slowly opened.
Gu Nan opened the door, looked at a young man standing outside the door, and was stunned for a moment. After a while, I remembered that it was the drinking man I met at the market yesterday.
"Ahem." Guo Jia said with a wry smile, with a pale face, "Little brother, do you know how much the medicine costs here?"
Gu Nan raised his eyebrows and looked at this person up and down.
You just reminded him yesterday, but you are sick today
In the hall, Gu Nan put a pack of thin needles by the table, rolled up his sleeves lightly, and put his hand on Guo Jia's wrist.
Feeling the gentle touch from his wrist, Guo Jia was stunned for a while, and smiled lightly, how could this little brother's hands look like a woman's.
After a while, Gu Nan who was sitting at the table frowned and asked.
"After you drank yesterday, where did you go besides visiting Mr. Xun?"
"I also went for a walk outside the city with Mr. Xun." Guo Jia simply replied, he was out of breath and couldn't say much.
Glancing at the young man in front of him, Gu Nan glanced at his mouth and withdrew his hand.
"It was raining yesterday afternoon. You are not in good health. You drank alcohol and went out in the rain. You caught the cold."
As he spoke, he opened the needle bag beside the table.
"I'll help you adjust your qi and blood, and you'll feel better. I'll prescribe you a pair of medicine later, and you go to the pharmacy next door to get three, one for a day, and you'll be fine after you finish it. Give it to me."
Guo Jia lifted up his sleeves, exposing his arms so that Gu Nan could do the needles. When he heard that he had to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine, he asked suspiciously.
"Little brother, you who run a medical clinic, don't you have any medicine in your house?"
"Who said this is a medical center?" Gu Nan took out a few needles and pulled Guo Jia's hand in front of her.
"Also, don't call me little brother again, I'm older than you."
The subordinates didn't stop for a moment, and the silver needles sank into Guo Jia's arm within a few breaths.
There was a burst of warmth on the arm, and the tightness in the chest was relieved in an instant, and Guo Jia let out a long sigh of relief.
"Little brother, sir, it's a pity not to open a medical clinic because you have such good medical skills."
Originally, he wanted to continue calling him little brother, but when he saw Gu Nan's hand stopped, Guo Jia wisely changed his words considering that his arm was still in the other party's hand.
"I used to practice medicine with others and learned a little."
Gu Nan stood up, walked to the back of the hall, took a pen and paper, and wrote the prescription on the table.
By the time the prescription is written, the needle can almost be pulled out.
He reached out and took a silver needle from Guo Jia's arm.
Feeling better, Guo Jia talked more, raised his sleeves, and asked Gu Nan with great interest.
"Sir, do you know that there is a Mr. Gu named Gu Nan in this city?"
He heard the name from Xun yesterday.
"Oh?" Gu Nan looked at him with a silver needle in surprise.
"You have something to do with her?"
In fact, Guo Jia was just interested in Gu Nan and wanted to meet him.
But there was a joke on his mouth, and he said with a smile.
"Yes, I heard that she is a woman. I said that I am going to come to propose marriage and marry this gentleman. Do you believe it?"
"Snapped!"
With a soft sound, she pinched the silver needle in Gu Nan's hand into two pieces and landed on the table.
Guo Jia was taken aback, not knowing why the person in front of him had such a sudden reaction.
Looking at Gu Nan's body, he had severe chest tightness just now and didn't pay attention, but now he realized that the doctor was also wearing white clothes.
He remembered the gentle palm on his hand before, and the soft voice.
He suddenly had a bad idea.
Some cold sweat broke out on the forehead, could it be such a coincidence
"Hehe." Guo Jia smiled at Gu Nan.
"Well, I don't know sir, what's your name?"
