Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Pulling Gu Chan to sit next to him, Shen Sanfeng asked, "How much money do you need now?"

"Godfather, I don't ask for much. Lend me 10,000 taels of silver first. After I rescue the first batch of soldiers, I will return you 20,000 taels." Gu Chan said with a look in his eyes.

"Ah?" Shen Sanfeng was surprised.

The old man was completely confused!

How can a mere child be so arrogant?

Twenty thousand taels of silver? This is an astronomical figure for an ordinary person, right?

Although Gu Chan owns a Chunfeng Clinic, it is not profitable yet! It is still in a loss-making state. How could she have the ability to pay him back so much money afterwards?

Gu Chan chuckled and put her mouth close to Shen Sanfeng's ear and whispered softly.

Shen Sanfeng was stunned at first, and then he suddenly opened his mouth and burst into laughter.

He couldn't help but give Gu Chan a thumbs up, and he praised her, "You are worthy of being my godson. You little brat, you are really something. You really have a good brain."

"Godfather, please send someone to bring me the silver later. I have to use the silver to buy medicinal herbs from all over the city tonight. Otherwise, if the injured soldiers from the border come in the middle of the night, it will be troublesome if there is no medicine to treat them." Gu Chan urged.

Shen Sanfeng nodded without saying a word.

The two didn't say anything more after that. Gu Chan immediately said goodbye to Shen Sanfeng and returned to the clinic to wait.

After midnight, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages arrived at the Shen Mansion, each loaded with boxes of silver, a total of 10,000 taels of silver.

When the carriage stopped outside Chunfeng Medical Clinic, Gu Chan immediately took people to unload the silver box and placed it at the gate, and then announced to the public that she would be buying medicinal herbs.

For a while, everyone in the entire county was like crazy, and anyone who had medicinal herbs at home would bring them to sell.

Gu Chan didn't care about the types of herbs, she would buy all of them from those who came to sell them.

"At such a young age, he has such courage. This shopkeeper Gu is indeed a talent."

"Yes! Look at her efforts for the border soldiers. It's really admirable."

"I really hope that our Tiancang Country can have more good people like Manager Gu!"

Everyone sold the medicine successfully and got the money, and everyone couldn't help but praise Gu Chan.

Gu Chan's actions not only earned her a good reputation, but also reassured the border soldiers. It can be said that she achieved two goals with one stone, which was quite remarkable.

On the other hand, Fatty Ding and Wang Feihu didn't take it seriously and instead thought Gu Chan was a fool.

In their view, there are hundreds of thousands of Tiger Army soldiers on the border, and many of them must have been injured. A mere 12,000 taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket and cannot solve much of a problem.

Gu Chan ignored them and continued to do as she pleased.

And the fact was just as she expected. In the second half of the night, the city gates opened and batches of wounded soldiers were sent in one after another.

Before long, there were no less than hundreds of wounded soldiers lying inside and outside Chunfeng Medical Clinic.

Gu Chan and Zhou Dachuan, together with everyone in the clinic and those who came to help from the market street, tried their best to treat the wounded.

After daybreak, all the soldiers sent to her, no matter whether they were lightly injured or seriously injured, were saved by her.

But the price of this was that the herbs she bought last night for 12,000 taels of silver were soon used up.

After the sun came out, Zhou Dachuan sat on the steps in front of the clinic with a tired face. Looking at the few herbs in stock in the clinic, he sighed and said, "If this continues, we will have no herbs to use. I'm afraid the soldiers who will be sent later will really be unable to save us."

"Don't worry. I still have a box of spiritual herbs that my godfather sent me in the warehouse on the third floor. Grind them all and mix them with some other common herbs to make several doses of medicine with pretty good efficacy. Use them first to protect the lives of the soldiers who will come later." Gu Chan said comfortingly.

"But this is not enough! We are out of money now. The county magistrate and Mr. Wang are unwilling to set an example and contribute money. Naturally, the big merchants in the wealthy areas are unwilling to contribute money either!" Zhou Dachuan said with great concern.

Gu Chan smiled confidently and did not explain much to him. Instead, she grabbed a soldier who was about to return to the front line and said, "Brother soldier, I have a letter here. Please take it to the border and hand it to General Long in person. Also, tell him how many injured soldiers there are. Just send them to me. I will do my best to treat them."

"Okay, Manager Gu, thank you so much. Without you, the lives of so many brothers could not have been saved!" The soldier responded with gratitude on his face.

After saying this, he put the letter in his arms, mounted his horse, left the city and returned to the front line.

Gu Chan continued to ask Zhou Dachuan to join her and take everyone to treat the soldiers.

At noon, in the front-line border forest, at the Tiger Army’s base camp.

At this time, Long Zhen was sitting in the central military tent commanding the battle, and Xue Lihua was beside him, ready to take orders at any time.

The soldier who delivered the letter rushed into the camp, took out the letter that Gu Chan had given him, and presented it to Long Zhen, saying, "General, this is the letter that Manager Gu asked me to hand over to you personally."

"Well, you continue to treat the wounded." Long Zhen took the letter and ordered.

The soldiers responded and ran out quickly.

Long Zhen handed the letter to Xue Lihua, then he continued to frown as he looked at the sand table in front of him and began to deduce the battle formation.

After Xue Lihua opened the letter and read it, she angrily shouted, "Damn Fatty Ding and Wang Feihu, they actually cried poor and refused to pay, so Gu Chan had to borrow 10,000 taels of silver from Mr. Shen to buy herbs. Now the herbs he has are almost used up, and the generals who are sent over later may face the situation of no medicine to cure them."

"Hmph! I guessed it long ago. After all, he is young. It won't be easy for him to defeat those two stingy people." Long Zhen snorted coldly. He was not panicked at all. Instead, he felt confident.

Xue Lihua put away the letter and said seriously, "General, do you have a plan to deal with them?"

"Does Gu Chan have any plan?" Long Zhen asked back.

Xue Lihua smiled and said, "You really guessed it right. There really is a plan in this kid's letter. But I have never heard of this word. This is the first time I have seen it in my life."

"What word?" Long Zhen became interested and turned his head to stare at Xue Lihua and asked.

Xue Lihua said in confusion, "She said it was called 'recommendation'."

"Admission by recommendation? What does that mean?" Long Zhen was confused.

In fact, this word is too unfamiliar to them in this world. For a while, he really couldn't understand the meaning of these two words.

Xue Lihua opened the letter again and carefully read Gu Chan's explanation of the word in the letter.

When she understood, not only did her eyes light up instantly, but an extremely surprised smile appeared on her beautiful face.
