It’s the third round, eh, Fei Qian murmured in his mind while drinking tea.

It only takes three things...

The improvement of tea has now reached the third generation. In the hands of diligent Chinese craftsmen, the methods and techniques of frying green tea are also constantly innovating. There are some prototypes of later generations of green tea. Due to the limited origin, drinking in Feiqian is now

The taste of tea is still more towards the burnt aroma, which is somewhat different from the bean aroma in the Jiangnan area. After all, tea in the Han Dynasty just changed from all kinds of paste because of Fei Qian, and it is easier to accept the burnt aroma rather than the bean aroma.

There is no so-called friendship between countries, only interests, but there is between people.

Fei Qian put down his tea cup, then looked at Cao Cao and said slowly: "Two hundred thousand households."

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and shook his head. Even if Cao Cao could control the entire Jingzhou, 200,000 households would almost evacuate one-third of Jingzhou, especially the four counties in Jingnan. The total population of some counties

There are not even 100,000 households...

Even when Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou North, the total population of the Xiangyang area was greatly reduced due to the previous war with Yuan Shu. If he could make up 200,000 households, it would be almost equivalent to evacuating Jingzhou North.

Cao Cao was naturally unwilling.

In fact, in the northern part of Jingzhou, especially in the Xiangyang area, there are still many people from the Heluo Guanzhong area who fled to the Jingzhou area during Dong Zhuo's turmoil.

Dong Zhuo moved the capital and forced about two million people to relocate in the Heluo area. Later, due to another war in the Heluo area, more people in this area moved to areas that were not affected by the war for the time being.

It was Jingzhou, and some of them went to Xuzhou, but unfortunately, these people still could not escape the military disaster, and they were still affected to a greater or lesser extent in history.

Fei Qian's preliminary calculation showed that during the overall Dong Zhuo turmoil, the people of the Heluo area, which was the most prosperous area in the Han Dynasty, probably entered the Jingzhou area at about 100,000 households, and then about 50,000 households entered Sichuan and Shu, and there were

An unknown number of them went eastward, eventually reaching Xuzhou and even the Jiangdong region further away.

In addition, some of them went to Jizhou, even Youzhou, Liaodong...

Anyway, there are almost ten rooms and nine empty spaces on the ground in Henan Yin.

Compared with Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao is better aware of the significance of population to a political power. Therefore, whether historically or currently, Cao Cao is constantly moving the population to central areas, especially in border areas, or where control is relatively strong.

Weak areas will move the population from these places to areas such as Yecheng, Xu County.

In view of this, it is even more impossible for Cao Cao to give up the population of Jingzhou easily. For the generals who command the troops on the front line, they may just think that the people are just laborers and cannon fodder, but for politicians like Cao Cao, the population is like leek... eh

, the source of finance and the guarantee of taxation.

Fei Qian smiled, shook his head and said, "It's also for Brother Meng De's benefit..."

Cao Cao smiled without being angry, "This is quite new..."

"Brother Meng De came all the way and found nothing wrong?" Fei Qian looked at Cao Cao and said slowly, "There is an epidemic in Jingzhou!"

Although Cao Cao's expression was still calm, Fei Qian could feel that at that moment, Cao Cao's eyes were involuntarily wandering. After all, no matter how much armor he wore, no matter how powerful he was, he could not withstand the plague.

, scary.

"Ha ha……"

Cao Cao only laughed twice before he was interrupted by Fei Qian, "Come here, summon Zhongjing and Yuanhua!"

If it hadn't been for sending a message to Guanzhong this time and summoning people from the Hundred Medical Clinic to control the plague, Fei Qian might have had to wait a while longer to know that Hua Tuo had arrived in Chang'an...

There was no way, Hua Tuo was originally a person who did not pursue power and wealth, so even when he arrived in Chang'an and entered the Hundred Medical Clinic, he did not reveal his true identity. He casually used a fake name and revealed some acupuncture skills, which was natural.

Sneaked into the Baiyi Clinic.

After all, there was no facial recognition system in the Han Dynasty. Many people only heard about Hua Tuo's reputation but never saw the real person. If Hua Tuo hadn't come forward after hearing about the Jingzhou plague this time, and Hua Tuo came forward, perhaps,

Hua Tuo is still hiding silently in the Baiyi Clinic.

"This is Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing. He once treated Liu Jingzhou and extended his life. However, he was coerced by traitors and had to flee to Chang'an. He is now the assistant of the Hundred Medical Hall. Zhongjing diligently studied ancient teachings, learned from many sources, and was proficient in "Su Wen"

, "Nine Volumes", "Eighty-one Difficulties", "Yin Yang Da Lun", etc., good at Ping Pulse Syndrome Differentiation, good at typhoid and miscellaneous diseases..."

"Is this person also from Qiao County..." Fei Qian was very happy to see that the corner of Cao Cao's mouth seemed to twitch again, and then continued, "Hua Tuo Hua Yuan Hua, practicing medicine in Ji, Yu, Yan, Qing,

Xu has cured as few as thousands and as many as tens of thousands of patients. When it comes to the technique of golden knife acupuncture, there is probably no one better than him in the world..."

"Now the two disease doctors are gathered here, they are here to deal with the epidemic in Jingzhou..."

"How is the epidemic situation in the camp now?" Fei Qian did not shy away from Cao Cao and asked immediately.

Zhang Ji took a step forward, held up his hands and said: "All fifteen patients have taken medicine, and most of them have become milder now, but they still need to be investigated... There are two others, I'm afraid... the worst is worse..."

The symptoms of early-stage patients were severe and rapid, and there was no timely medication to control the symptoms. As a result, in the end, even when Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo came, there was no way to save the day.

"Are there any new patients?" Fei Qian continued to ask.

"There has been no new addition for three days..." Zhang Ji replied.

Fei Qian nodded, then gestured to Cao Cao and said: "The general also came from the epidemic area, you may wish to ask a question..."

Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo turned to look at Cao Cao.

I don't know if it was because he was afraid of the plague or was a little nervous when facing the doctor. Cao Cao obviously lost his demeanor as a so-called general. He raised his hand to his mouth to cough, and then quickly put it down again after realizing it.

Awkward and unnatural.

"Are you suffering from pain, diarrhea, vomiting, coughing, or asthma? Or is your body sore, weak, and anorexic?" Hua Tuo didn't care if he was a general or not, he asked unceremoniously when he came up.

"Or maybe you're feeling dizzy, dripping with night sweats," Zhang Ji asked from the side, "feeling heat, internal troubles, dry throat and joint pain?"

Cao Cao may not tell the truth when facing other people, but when facing Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, he tells the truth honestly. Not only did he answer the questions of Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, he also couldn't help but touch

Touching his head, "I often have a headache on this side, but I don't know why..."

Hua Tuo glanced twice, "I'm afraid some evil wind may have entered his brain..."

"Ahem..." Fei Qian interrupted quickly, and then said, "It seems that the general has not been infected with the epidemic, which is very lucky! However, the soldiers led by the general also came from Jingzhou. I would like to ask you two to troubleshoot...

』

Fei Qian was really worried that Hua Tuo would soon say that he would give Cao Cao a shot...

After a while, some soldiers came to report, saying that two doctors, Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, had discovered several obviously serious cases among Cao's soldiers, as well as more than a dozen mild cases.
Chapter completed!
