Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

The free clinic lasted for three days.

Li Nian had to treat hundreds of people every day, and was so busy that he had almost no time to eat or drink.

Qin Huaiyu and others never left, and set up dozens of large pots at the entrance of the village, boiling soup medicine all night long.

On the third day, the patients who took the medicine on the first day had a great improvement in their health, and most of the toxins in their bodies were eliminated, and they were visibly more energetic.

This made the people of Gaoshan Town very excited. They thanked Li Nian profusely during the free clinic every day, and almost worshipped Li Nian as a bodhisattva.

It was not until the fourth day that the number of patients who came for treatment decreased.

One reason was that the medicinal materials brought by Li Nian on this trip had been exhausted.

The second reason was that the unicorn chariot of Prince Li Chengqian had arrived, and Old Man Gao and a group of people needed to go to welcome him.

Gao's old house.

Li Nian and others sat together and were eating breakfast.

Although the conditions here were difficult, the people brought their best food to give to Li Nian and others.

Especially after seeing that Li Nian had really cured the disease that had plagued them for years, the number of people who came to send food increased dramatically.

The eastern family sent a pot of wine, and the western family sent a chicken.

These were the food they would only take out during festivals or even the New Year.

Now, all of them were sent to Li Nian and others, for the land, as a way to repay their kindness.

"Incredible, incredible"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!"

While drinking porridge, Cheng Chumo walked in from outside with a smile on his face.

"The prince is here?"

Qin Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, then asked,"Did you see it clearly?"

"Of course I saw it clearly!"

Cheng Chumo picked up a bowl of porridge, gulped down a mouthful, and then said:"I still know where the prince's carriage is."

"The Prime Minister Fang was also with them.

Qin Huaiyu said thoughtfully,"No wonder Old Man Gao didn't let me see the doctor today. It turns out that he went to meet the Crown Prince."

"I say, should we go and pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Luo Tong put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth and asked.

They are also the sons of the Duke, and they also know Li Chengqian privately, so Luo Tong asked this question just now.

"Let's go!"

Qin Huaiyu pondered for a moment and said,"After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to comfort the veterans. If we don't go to see him, we might end up causing trouble!"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Nian who was standing beside him.

"Brother Li, you have made a great contribution on this trip, why don't you come with me?"

Li Nian shook his head immediately after hearing this.

The prince, who is that? When they meet, he will have to kowtow three times and nine times. He is not used to kowtow to others.

Besides, Li Chengqian is also a useless person. He doesn't expect to cling to others' thighs. Kowtow to others by himself? He has nothing to do!

"I won't go."

Li Nian said:"It just so happens that the free clinic is over today, and I have something else to do."

"Alas!"

Qin Huaiyu frowned and said,"Brother Li! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come in person to comfort the old soldiers, which shows how much His Majesty values the old soldiers of our border army."

"If the prince could know about your good deeds, it would only benefit you!"

Li Nian said with a smile:"Brother Qin, do you think I am a person who currys favor with the powerful and wants to curry favor with the rich and powerful?"

As soon as he said this, Qin Huaiyu smiled awkwardly, then cupped his hands and said:"I misunderstood Brother Li!"

"Brother Li is indifferent to fame and fortune, and cares about the people. Qin was rude."

He scratched his head and said,"Actually, I also look down on the prince."

When the young generals heard this, they all burst into laughter.

"There is no way, because of his status!"

Qin Huaiyu sighed and said,"Since Brother Li is unwilling to go, I will not force him."

Li Nian nodded and said:

"The free clinic has been going on for most of the time. I have observed that the villagers' illnesses are similar. If I treat them one by one, it will probably take some time."

As he said this, he took out a few prescriptions from his pocket.

"I have written a prescription according to the severity of the illness. Brother Qin, please get the herbs and distribute them to the villagers."

Qin Huaiyu took the prescription and said,"This is easy to do. Leave it to me!"

As he said that, he looked at Li Nian and asked curiously,"Where are you going, Brother Li?""

"Remember what I told you a few days ago, that I might have a way to solve the poverty of the villagers?"

Li Nian said mysteriously,"We are going to do this today!"

When several people heard this, they immediately became interested and clamored to go together.

In the end, they were rejected by Li Nian.

After breakfast, Li Nian took Gao Qiu, Su Yang, and a group of soldiers to Yanshan.......

"Brother Gao, are you sure it's here?"

Li Nian was panting in the forest. It was hot in July, and the chirping of cicadas in the forest only added to his irritability.

"Brother Li, it's just ahead!"

Wiping the sweat off his face, a group of people followed the mountain path for a long time and finally arrived at the salt mountain.

"Look, there is salt rock in that hole!"

The villagers in Gaoshan Town have been boiling salt privately for some time, so they dug a hole.

When Li Nian saw the hole, he immediately became excited and rushed over with everyone.

When he arrived at the mine, Li Nian picked up a piece of ore, took a closer look, and his face was full of joy.

"That's right, this is it!"

After that, he turned to Chief Gao and said,"Brother Gao, please knock down some ore and carry it back."

"Brother Li, what are you going to do?"

Chief Gao was also confused by Li Nian's actions and reminded him,"These are all poisonous salts, it's useless to take them!"

Li Nian smiled mysteriously and said,"Just do it!"

Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not compromise on Li Nian's orders. He immediately ordered the accompanying soldiers to take off the bamboo baskets behind them and each carry some salt stones back.

For this trip, Li Nian borrowed Qin Huaiyu's followers, twenty people, plus eight people he recruited, as well as Chief Gao and Su Yang, a total of thirty people.

Each of them carried fifty kilograms of salt stones and returned to Gaoshan Town in a mighty manner.

As soon as he returned to the house, Li Nian dismissed the soldiers and only left eight strong men he brought with him.

""Brother Su, go and close the door tightly!"

After giving the instruction, Li Nian unveiled the gray cloth covering the equipment in the yard.

Seeing how cautious he was, Gao Qiu at the side asked curiously,"Brother Li, what's so mysterious?"

In the small yard, there was a stone mill and several sledgehammers. Li Nian instructed several men to use the sledgehammers to carefully smash the large pieces of mineral salt into small particles, and then poured the mineral salt into the stone mill to grind it into fine particles.

"Brother Gao, you are not an outsider, so it’s okay for me to tell you!"

Several men were very strong in their hands and just followed Li Nian’s orders without asking why.

While watching them work, Li Nian pulled Gao Qiu aside and said in a low voice:"This matter is top secret. If it gets out, I’m afraid I will lose my life!"

Gao Qiu stopped joking when he heard it.

"I'd better not listen to it. If it gets out, it will harm you, Brother Li."

Li Nian smiled and shook his head, saying:"Brother Gao, I can only tell you about this matter, because I still need your help!"

Staring at Li Nian, Gao Qiu gritted his teeth and said sternly:"Brother Li has done me a great favor, but if you have any orders, I will never frown even if I have to climb a mountain of swords or go down a sea of fire!"

Li Nian patted his shoulder with a smile and said,"Don't worry, it's not something that will embarrass you."

Pointing to the busy appearance of several people in the distance, Li Nian explained:"To be honest, I want to refine salt!"

PS: I can see that this evaluation ticket of mine is going to be a cold rhythm at first glance, crying, this book has a slightly slow rhythm and no system, but it is written slowly, and there are more to come. I also trouble all the big guys to support the originality. I dare not think too much. Thousands of evaluation tickets are put on the shelves, and twenty to thirty thousand updates a day can be guaranteed.
