Brother, are you married?

Zhao Huanran sat down with a carefree look, "I didn't even ask you to save me!"

Lin Xuan couldn't believe it, how could there be such a shameless person, his hands trembling angrily, pointing at Zhao Huanran: "You have guts! I'll go and call them back!" As he was about to get up, Duan Yi hurriedly stopped him, "Lin Xuan mysterious!"

"Hey! Hey! My fault! My fault, why can't I help being so funny?" Zhao Huanran stepped forward and pulled Lin Xuan to sit down as if he had lost to you.

"Why are you here?"

"I should ask why you are here. You were either chased by this person, or hacked by that person. What happened?" Lin Xuan said angrily. It's strange. What did Zhao Huanran do to make people chase and kill him every day? No wonder Zhao's mother often praised Wu Shanqing for his stability. No one could bear to let a son like Zhao Huanran suffer, and he was worried every day.

Zhao Huanran changed the subject, "When are you going back?"

Lin Xuan pulled Duan Yi to sit down as well, "This is my friend Duan Yi in Loucheng, Duan Yi, this is Zhao Huanran, my friend's friend." The two of them held each other's fists as a greeting.

"I don't know. The matter here is not over yet. How about you? Do you want to go back? If you go back, take me with you!"

Zhao Huanran started eating on his own: "No, I can't go back right now, and it will be dangerous to follow me, I can't care about you"

The last sentence is the key point... Lin Xuan can forget it after thinking about it, if he really goes back with Zhao Huanran, it is not good to leave the master alone. Those who are here are not here for fun, but also to learn medical skills.

After eating and drinking, the three of them drew lots at night. In the end, Lin Xuan won and slept on the bed, while the other two found two chairs to sleep together.

On the second day, Lin Xuan and Duan Yi woke up early to watch the sunrise, woke Zhao Huanran to sleep on the bed, and asked him to leave the room when he left.Before leaving, Lin Xuan couldn't help telling him again: "Be careful with your safety, or your family will be very worried!"

Zhao Huanran opened his eyes and glanced at Lin Xuan, then closed them again: "Got it!"

Lin Xuan kind of hated iron and wanted to crush him to death. If Wu Shanqing didn't care about him, he wouldn't bother to care about whether he was dead or alive.

The two rode on their horses and set off. The eastern sky was red and the sun had not yet risen. The cold wind made people shiver. They tied the horse to a dry branch beside them, and the two found a high slope to sit down and wait.

After a while, a ray of light leaked out and shone close to the horizon. The whole desert seemed to be sprinkled with gold dust, shining and beautiful, and it was worth the cold.Looking sideways at the intoxicated person, Lin Xuan sighed, it was a pity that the person was wrong, closed his eyes, spread his hands, felt the warmth of the light, the breeze caressed his hair, it turned out that he missed him even more than he imagined.

After the whole sun came out, the two of them walked along the road and returned home. After all, Duan Yi is not an idler. He still needs to deal with many things in Loucheng. Not to mention that the source of the disease has not been completely resolved, the lack of soldiers alone is enough for him to have a headache. It's been a while.

Lin Xuan's medical skills have also improved rapidly after taking care of patients every day.

Today is New Year's Eve, Wang Mingmao's wife and children have a lot of family members, not together, Lin Xuan, Dr. Liu, and Duan Yi spent the New Year together.As soon as Lin Xuan's specialty dishes came to the table, Duan Yi didn't even raise his head when he ate, "I didn't expect you to have such a skill, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Duan Yi was already very familiar with him, and he spoke very casually.

"Hmph!" Lin Xuan said proudly: "Is it so easy for me to cook for others? I have never heard of the so-called master, the one who is not easy to sell, how can I be called a master." Duan Yi was confused by his theory mind

Dr. Liu sat on the side, sipping wine and food, laughing while listening to the conversation between the two in front of him.

The three of them ate and sat around chatting to watch the night.

"Master, the source of this disease has been found, are we going back soon?" Lin Xuan asked while eating snacks.

"You want to go back that much?" Duan Yi was a little disappointed. There are not many friends here, and Lin Xuan is one of them. After getting along for so long, it doesn't mean that he is nostalgic for this place. At least, their friendship for almost half a year should have some affection. , but he kept thinking about going back.

Lin Xuan tilted his head to look at him: "Yes!"

One sentence almost choked Duan Yi to death, well, you won!

"Well, it's not easy to go in the snow and ice now. Let's go back in early spring. There are many medicinal herbs here, which are not common in Wang's house. Let's pick some back." Dr. Liu lay on his side on the kang, chatting without saying a word. with.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes: "Master, you also said that the world is icy and snowy. Where can I go to collect medicine here? I can't bear to say it here. I'm not kidding you!"

"You kid, you are getting more and more outrageous," Dr. Liu scolded with a smile.

"Duan Yi, haven't you been worrying about the withdrawal of troops?"

Hearing this, Duan Yi felt a headache reflexively, and rubbed his temples: "Yes, there is no money for recuperating the disease, and there are no soldiers if you don't raise it. How can it be called a building city if there are no soldiers in this building city."

The last time the epidemic was widespread, many people were infected with the disease, among which there were not a few soldiers who were infected, especially the soldiers lived in groups, and the spread was fast and wide-ranging.This place raises soldiers, part of the money is distributed by the imperial court, and the other part needs to be collected by Loucheng itself to develop the economy. The original silver in the city inventory was also used for the common people and soldiers, and there is not much left. Now the disease has been controlled and the source of the disease has been found. It is the plague, a kind of rat with lung lesions, which spread to humans after biting people a disease.Therefore, Duan Yi's top priority is to start working on soldiers. After all, the border is unstable, and without soldiers, it is absolutely impossible.

"I have a solution. If you think it will work, the first thing you need is money and soldiers. The money comes from taxes, and the soldiers are supported by money. If you first develop the economy and then withdraw the troops, in this unstable environment, obviously It is not a wise move. You can promulgate a policy that everyone who lives in Loucheng can open up wasteland for free for the first three years without paying taxes, and only pay taxes after three years. And this family, regardless of gender, is between 18-40 years old It is necessary to participate in training every year in the off-season. This method can firstly attract people to live in Loucheng, secondly, it can stimulate the agricultural development of Loucheng, and thirdly, receive soldiers. The role of soldiers is not that the enemy can come Fighting back and defending the Loucheng, this is not just a matter for men to defend their home and country. If every woman can have corresponding training, not to mention letting her pre-empt the enemy, at least men are on the front line, and women can also support in the rear. Make backups."

Lin Xuan's mouth was dry, and he drank his saliva and continued: "You can set up a market in Loucheng, that is, build a row of shops, and set up a big market every month or how often, to attract those merchants to do business here , to provide them with a temporary shop, as long as they pay a certain rent. This matter is publicized, and there will be many people who come to watch the excitement and buy. In this way, the people in Loucheng can buy high-quality and cheap things, and the merchants can After earning money, and you can receive a lot of rent. This can also lead to the economic development of the real estate city, wouldn’t it kill four birds with one stone.”

Duan Yi fell into deep thought when he heard Lin Xuan's words. The first thing Lin Xuan said was that there was no precedent for land reclamation and tax exemption. Furthermore, the recruitment of female soldiers was indeed a bit shocking to the world, but it was indeed a good way for the present. It's not like other states that have to pay taxes every year. Because of this plague infection, they can report to the imperial court to explain the situation, so this tax exemption can work, and the female soldiers are no problem. Finally, the shops are built. , agriculture, industry, and commerce, merchants are the last, but a prosperous place must be indispensable for the operation of merchants.

This suggestion doesn't talk about Duan Yi's reaction after listening to it, but what Dr. Liu thinks is a wonderful method after hearing it. Doctor Liu is very satisfied that his apprentice can come up with such a method.

The three of them ate, ate, and chatted. They stayed there until midnight, and couldn't hold on any longer. Lin Xuan took Duan Yi to his room to rest. The beds here are all kangs, which are very big, and there is more than enough to sleep three grown men. Lin Xuan Pull off the coat, lie down, very comfortable, close your eyes, "Don't forget to turn off the light, I'm going to sleep first."

Duan Yi took off his coat, turned off the lights, lay down on another bed, looked at the furry head next to him, thought about Lin Xuan's words tonight, and closed his eyes to sleep.

The next morning, when Lin Xuan woke up, Duan Yi had already left. He rubbed his eyes and asked Dr. Liu who was making dumplings, "Master, good morning, when did he leave?"

Dr. Liu stirred the dumplings in the pot: "I left early in the morning at dawn."

"Last night I went to bed so late and woke up so early. It's really extraordinary." Lin Xuan admired such a person very much, his self-control was too strong.

A few days later, Duan Yi brought a plan and came to Lin Xuan. He really listened to Lin Xuan's suggestion that night, so he went back to the mansion the next morning to make a plan, and called his subordinates to discuss it together. , and finally decided on this plan, because it was proposed by Lin Xuan, so I asked Lin Xuan to see if there was any problem.Except for some details, Lin Xuan gave some suggestions, and there were no problems, so Duan Yi began to implement the promotion plan in Loucheng.

Posting notices and repairing shops are two things going on at the same time. Duan Yi and Lin Xuan run together every day, surveying land reclamation, naturalization of outside households, product specifications, etc., are carried out in an orderly manner with the joint efforts of the two. Lin Xuan, who planned to go back Xuan Gang was dragged on for several months. At the beginning of June, the entire framework was basically built, and the effect has also appeared. Now there are several times more people in Loucheng than when Lin Xuan first came.

This day, Lin Xuan came to bid farewell to Duan Yi. Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Duan Yi didn't speak for a long time: "I heard your master talk about you!" He turned around and walked up to Lin Xuan: "Can't you stay here? With you and I working together, don't you want to see the final result?"

"This is just my suggestion to you. You are the one who will do it. I don't belong here. Now that Loucheng is on the right track, as a friend, I can rest assured, so I should go back to where I should be."

"Is it because of Wu Shanqing?"

Lin Xuan didn't speak, it was a tacit agreement.
