Chapter 502 Nine years, six cities, four statues,(1/2)

This Zhu Banxian'er is not a charlatan, but a true medical master.

Her name is Zhu Danxi, and she and Yan Chixia are old acquaintances.

His medical skills were superb, and his clinical treatment was as effective as a drumstick. There were many cases where he was cured immediately after taking the medicine without the need for further consultation. Therefore, people at the time also praised him as "Zhu Banxian"!

Doctors with excellent medical skills naturally know far more about various causes of death than ordinary people. Yan Chixia met Zhu Danxi when she was running a business, and the two had many interactions.

Yan Chixia admired his medical skills, and Zhu Danxi also admired the upright and awe-inspiring Yan Chixia very much, and the two became good friends.

Later, Zhu Danxi took his son eastward, and after Yan Chixia resigned from her official position, she also had no fixed residence and wandered around the world...

But Yan Chixia didn't expect why this half-fairy child ended up here?!

Meeting old friends again is one of the great joys in life.

Zhu Danxi immediately took Yan Chixia to his home to talk.

The two of them drank three rounds of wine and tasted five dishes.

Only then did Yan Chixia understand that Zhu Danxi's only son Zhu Peng had joined the [Taiping Army] and became a captain of thousands.

"Congratulations, I see that this [Taiping Army] has strict military discipline. At such a young age, your son is already a commander of thousands. He will definitely have a bright future in the future!"

In the presence of her old friend, Yan Chixia naturally did not hesitate to praise her, and he indeed felt so.

Zhu Danxi was happy in her heart, but sighed deliberately on her face:

"Brother Yan, as you know, my son has been fond of wielding knives and sticks since he was a child. He can't read the medical books at home. I expect this kid to pass on my medical skills...!"

"Now that he has joined the army and is busy with military affairs, it seems that all my skills will be put in the coffin~!"

It was just a casual chat, but as he talked, Zhu Danxi really felt depressed.

These people have different ambitions and talents, and Yan Chixia doesn't know how to persuade them.

Take him as an example, he himself could pass the examination as a scholar, but he doesn't like the so-called beautiful articles at all, and he can't read them. Instead, he prefers to read policy papers and the like.

Yan Chixia poured him a glass of wine: "You never thought about finding an apprentice?"

Zhu Danxi calmed down and said, "It's funny."

"In those days, how could I accept a disciple? I thought that Peng'er was still young and could practice boxing and kicking to protect himself. As long as he taught me well in the future, he would be able to pass on my mantle."

"But who would have thought that this little bastard could make himself fall asleep while reading medical books, and then dance with knives and guns without seeing him tired all day long? I was really pissed off at that time~!"

"At that time, I sighed all day long about the misfortune of my family..."

Yan Chixia asked curiously: "What happened next? Why did your son join the [Taiping Army]?"

Zhu Danxi said: "At that time, the [Taiping Army] recruited troops on a large scale for the first time. It was clearly stated that the training was difficult, but as long as they could be retained, they would get a monthly salary of ten taels of silver..."

"Twelve months' salary?!"

"Really or not? This [Taiping Army] is so wealthy?!"

Yan Chixia's eyes widened and she interrupted Zhu Danxi's words.

What is the concept of twelve-month salary?

Yan Chixia has traveled around various places and has a general understanding of commodity prices. This is enough for an ordinary family of three to live for a whole year. If they save a little, they can even live longer.

Zhu Danxi continued: "These twelve months' salary is pure profit. The [Taiping Army] is unlike armies in other places. It does not require soldiers to bring their own food, clothing, and weapons. These are all provided by the army."

"Even the new soldiers can enjoy three meals a day and meat every meal; the military uniforms are provided with two sets per season all year round... now it seems to be three sets per season. If it is damaged, there will be someone to repair it.

, if you really can’t sew it up, you have to pay for a new one yourself, but the price is only 20 yuan..."

Hearing the various treatments from Zhu Danxi's mouth, even Yan Chixia's heart was moved, let alone those young and strong ones!~

Just the mere presence of meat in a meal is enough to make many people’s eyes flutter.

However, after a rough calculation in my mind, this kind of expenditure is simply an elite with money!

The food and clothing expenses of an ordinary soldier are equivalent to the expenses of hundreds or even thousands of people in other armies!......

Just for the fine steel spear he saw before, if he sold it for five hundred taels, he would definitely have someone want it. However, in the [Taiping Army], everyone has one, and even the tooth generals may have better ones.

…………

This kind of consumption of money and food is simply a bottomless pit. How do the people behind the [Taiping Army] sustain themselves?

For the first time, Yan Chixia knew what "haoqi" was!

Zhu Danxi continued: "There is such a good thing, and this brat and a few friends went there. As a result, something happened before it even started."

Speaking of this, Zhu Danxi suddenly stopped talking, but picked up his wine glass and started drinking with a leisurely attitude.

But it aroused Yan Chixia's curiosity to no end.

This half-fairy is not a son of a human being.

It was as if a kitten was scratching Yan Chixia's heart. He suddenly stood up and angrily refilled Zhu Danxi's empty wine glass.

"You half-fairy, you can say it now~!"

Zhu Danxi took a sip slowly and calmly.

He then said: "For some reason, this glass of wine is particularly refreshing in my throat, hahaha..."

"Brother Yan, you said that for someone to offer such good conditions, doesn't it mean they have a lot of money? No, someone has other ideas."

"I've entangled hundreds of green forests and planned to rob him!"

Yan Chixia nodded, does this look like the way he knows the world~!

Charming eyes of silver!...

"Later, there will be no later."

"The Sword Lord just waved his hand, and the heads of hundreds of people were immediately separated."

"By the time Peng'er and the others went to register, hundreds of heads had piled up into a mountain of flesh, which immediately shocked everyone."

Yan Chixia asked doubtfully: "Sword Lord?!"

"Is it the one from Jianhu Palace?"

"I've seen her before, she has a cold temperament, but I didn't expect her to be so murderous?!"

Zhu Danxi shouted: "Brother Yan, be careful what you say."

Not feeling reassured, he stood up and looked around, then came back and sat down and said:

"Don't say this outside. Otherwise, even if Sword Master is generous, many of Sword Master's supporters will come to you and cause trouble. And when the [Taiping Army] knows the inside story, they probably won't make the decision for you."

Yan Chixia said in confusion: "The prestige of that sword master is so high?!"

A look of admiration appeared on Zhu Danxi's face.

"Not only Sword Master, but also Xuan Master, Dao Master, and Ming Master. They have countless fans."

"Everyone is living a good life now, thanks to the four Lords and the [Taiping Army] led by them."

"They slayed demons, exorcised demons, and eradicated thieves. They also vigorously built the county, promoted people's livelihood, and developed education... Only then did we have the good life we ​​have now!~~"

Yan Chixia found that the words coming out of this half-fairy's mouth were all coming out one after another, some of which he couldn't understand.

But one thing he knew clearly was that this [Taiping Army] appeared about nine years ago and was established by four strong men.

Xuan Zun Hong Kang, Dao Zun Zhang Sanfeng, Ming Zun Dongfang Bubai, Sword Zun Pang Qingyang.

The four men were able to reach the heavens and subdue demons and beasts. They wanted to bring peace to the world and bring blessings to the people, so they founded the "Taiping Army", recruited young men and trained them to bring order to the world.

In nine years, the [Taiping Army] spread its power across six counties and expanded its army to 30,000 elite soldiers.

Yan Chixia was very surprised when she heard this, she was really puzzled.

"With this kind of strength, it took nine years to occupy six counties? It doesn't make sense that there are so few, right?!"

Zhu Danxi shook his head and said: "How can I know what other people think?"

"However, even though it's the same county town, it's very different."

"Take Dongyang County as an example. It used to be a decayed place with a population of less than 40,000. However, after the [Taiping Army] moved in, they vigorously carried out construction."

"The surrounding area of ​​the county has expanded hundreds of miles. In just over nine years, the population has now increased more than ten times. Some are new children, and even more are people who have fled with their families. Moreover, the [Taiping Army] also

We stepped in and opened public hospitals, and the number of people dying from the disease has been decreasing year by year.”

Yan Chixia asked: "Ban Xian'er, how come you know so well?"

Zhu Danxi smiled proudly: "Ahem, cough, cough... I'm not talented, but now I am the director of a public hospital..."

There is no hope for his son. Fortunately, there are many good medical talents in public hospitals. He plans to observe and test them for a few more years. If possible, he plans to pass on some of his medical skills.

As for passing them all to one person, he didn't think so.

Yan Chixia said: "Banxian'er, do you think this [Taiping Army]... has the intention to aspire for the throne~?"

Zhu Danxi sat upright and said seriously: "Don't ask me, I don't know. I only know that today's life is something I couldn't even think about before."

"Now when you walk on the street, at least you don't have to worry about being hacked to death by random people, and then you say, bad luck, you hacked the wrong person."

Yan Chixia was silent.
