Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Changbai Mountain has long been one of the legendary sacred mountains.

It is called Buxian Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and Taibai Mountain in the Tang Dynasty. It is named after its main peak, Changbai Mountain, which is rich in white pumice and snow. In the Song Dynasty, it was called Changbai Mountain.

At the foot of Changbai Mountain, the Jurchen tribe has lived at the foot of the mountain for generations, making a living by fishing and hunting. However, it is not easy to survive in the dense forests and grasslands of the Northeast.

Many prey pass by in a flash and are covered by vegetation. If you want to hunt in such an environment, the hunter must have a pair of sharp eyes, excellent shooting skills, and a strong bow. Those who hunt on horseback must also Mastering the difficult skills of riding and shooting has created many Jurchen hunters' superb archery and martial arts.

However, these alone cannot make the Jurchens famous. Under the Changbai Mountains, hunters and prey can be reversed. In addition to herbivorous prey, there are also large beasts such as Siberian tigers, black bears, jackals, wild boars, etc. under the Changbai Mountains. Sometimes hunters instead Become prey.

Faced with the threat of life, Jurchen hunters not only need strong martial arts, but also extraordinary courage. Every Jurchen tribe warrior is a fierce general who can fight tigers and bears, and tear apart wolves with their hands.

In addition to personal bravery, the Jurchens invented a unique multi-person hunting tactic - hunting. Small hunting only involves a group of ten people. Whenever they gather in autumn and winter, large hunting even mobilizes hundreds or thousands of people, and they can always harvest something. Big game.

When pieces of high-priced tiger and bear skins flowed out of the Jurchen tribe, the Jurchens' bravery spread widely, and it was said that the Jurchens were invincible if they were not worth ten thousand.

Changbai Mountains, in dense forests.

A group of Jurchen hunters were fighting with a ferocious Siberian tiger. The Siberian tiger was so powerful that it slapped a Jurchen hunter away with one claw and opened its bloody mouth with a pounce, about to tear the hunter's throat.

At the critical moment, a Jurchen warrior about twenty-five years old, holding a shield, blocked the tiger's attack. The spear in his hand suddenly stabbed the Siberian tiger in the thigh.

"Wanyan Aguda!"

When the Jurchen warriors around saw the Jurchen warrior succeed with one blow, they all shouted his name.

Under the severe pain, the Siberian tiger became ferocious and opened its mouth to bite Wanyan Aguda. A group of Jurchen hunters came forward to rescue him. Seeing that the Siberian tiger was outnumbered, he turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, a group of Jurchen hunters prepared their arrows to kill.

Wanyan Aguda jumped up and shouted: "Don't shoot the arrow, don't hurt the tiger's skin!"

When the Jurchen hunters saw this, they had no choice but to put down their bows and arrows in anger. Tiger skin is extremely precious in Siberia. A complete tiger skin can be sold for a good price, which is very precious to the poor Jurchen tribe.

A group of Jurchen hunters followed the blood trail and continued to track the injured Siberian tiger.

The Siberian tiger was injured and could not run far at all. Soon, everyone returned with a complete tiger skin.

"Thanks to Aguda, otherwise this tiger problem would be difficult to get rid of." A group of Jurchens gathered around Wanyan Aguda and said with lingering fear. If Wanyan Aguda hadn't been so brave, they would have paid a heavy price for facing the terrifying Siberian tiger.

Wanyan Aguda looked at the complete tiger skin and showed a satisfied smile. This tiger skin alone made their trip worthwhile. However, the purpose of their trip was not to hunt tigers. After all, no one would be willing to fight with them unless they were at the end of their rope. The Siberian tiger, the king of the forest, resisted.

The reason why they took the risk and came to the Siberian tiger's territory was to find the legendary thousand-year-old ginseng.

"Now that the tiger problem has been eliminated, look for the thousand-year-old ginseng immediately!" Wanyan Agu ordered.

Since the royal families of the Song and Liao dynasties openly declared that they wanted thousand-year-old ginseng, the price of ginseng has skyrocketed, especially older ginseng.

In order to pay tribute to the Liao Emperor with the thousand-year-old ginseng, Wanyan Aguda ventured into the mountains to get rid of the tiger. The tigers were so entrenched here that no one had ever been there, so the chance of finding the thousand-year-old ginseng was extremely high.

At that moment, everyone dispersed in all directions and began to look for the aged ginseng.

"Found a formed ginseng!"

Suddenly, a Jurchen hunter shouted.

When Wanyan Aguda saw this, he immediately stepped forward, only to find that although the ginseng had already taken shape, it would only take a few decades at most to achieve a thousand-year ginseng.

"Although the age difference is a little, it's still worth a lot of money!" Wanyan Aguda said with satisfaction.

Such shaped ginseng is already rare in the periphery, but it is easy to find it in the Siberian tiger's lair. In addition, the price of ginseng has skyrocketed, which is enough to exchange for many good things.

With the harvest, a group of Jurchen hunters became very interested and began to search faster. As expected, more and more shaped ginseng were found.

The largest one was dug out completely, with a net weight of nearly eighty taels, and its roots were more than three feet long.

"I'm afraid this is the thousand-year-old ginseng. It is said that the royal family of the Song Dynasty offered a reward of thousands of dollars."

"Thousands of dollars!"

All the Jurchen hunters exclaimed that a thousand pieces of money was equivalent to millions of dollars. Let alone them, even the Jurchen tribe could not afford such a large amount of money.

When Wanyan Aguda returned to the Jurchen tribe with tiger skins and ginseng, it immediately caused a sensation in the Jurchen tribe.

"This is that evil tiger! Now it has finally been eliminated."

A group of Jurchen tribesmen pointed at the Siberian tiger. This evil tiger did great harm, and many tribesmen died from it. Now it was finally eliminated by Aguda.

"Good! You are worthy of being the number one warrior of my Jurchen tribe!"

His brother Wanyan Wu Yashu was overjoyed when he saw this and praised his younger brother Aguda.

"Brother, please look!"

Wanyan Aguda presented the thousand-year-old ginseng plant, which once again made Wanyan Wuyashu overjoyed.

"With this thousand-year-old ginseng, I will definitely be able to satisfy His Majesty, and I will have no worries about paying tribute this year!" Wanyan Wuya beamed with double happiness, and she immediately felt overjoyed.

The Jurchen tribe is a vassal of the Liao Kingdom. Every year, they pay tribute to the Liao Kingdom with a large number of precious items. In previous years, they all paid tribute to mink skins, northern pearls, and sea green. However, this year, because of the magical effects of thousand-year-old ginseng spread from the Southern Dynasties, more treasures were specially added. Millennium Ginseng.

Wanyan Wu Yashu was naturally frowning and wanted ginseng, but thousand-year-old ginseng was hard to come by. Now Aguda finally solved his urgent need.

Coupled with the fact that Wanyan Aguda had brought back so many centuries-old ginseng with good quality, the news that the price of ginseng from the Song Dynasty had soared had reached the Jurchen tribe, and the Jurchen tribe was naturally overjoyed.

"This is God's blessing on the Jurchens. With ginseng, our Jurchen tribes no longer need to suffer from hunger." Wanyan Wu Yashu said excitedly.

Wanyan Aguda also showed a hint of joy. The life of the Jurchen tribe was difficult, and food sources such as hunting and gathering were inherently unstable. Moreover, they had to pay a large amount of tribute to the Liao Emperor every year, which made life even more precarious.

Ginseng is inexhaustible in Changbai Mountain and is expensive. With such a source of wealth, it is no less than sitting on a cornucopia, and the Jurchen tribes will definitely prosper.
