Gu Yezhou was also very happy and asked hurriedly: "How much food is there? Is it enough for the people to eat?"

The smiles on the faces of Mori Zheng and the others disappeared, and their expressions were awkward. Mori Zheng said, "That's right. This morning, the county magistrate convened a meeting in various villages and read out the imperial edict. The county magistrate said that the country is now suffering from internal and external troubles and is going on. The military rations are in short supply, and the surplus grains cannot be extracted to provide disaster relief. However, the emperor cherishes the suffering of the people and knows that we have suffered from severe drought here, and is anxious and issued an order to take out some stone grains from the nervous military rations to provide disaster relief. Think about it, how great the Emperor Long En is!"

Speaking of this, Mori seemed to have a few tears of emotion in his eyes and said, "There are too many places in the country that need to use food. He really can't draw too much food to provide disaster relief. Therefore, the county magistrate said that the only food to each household is distributed to only one dou (about twelve kilograms). Alas!"

Ma Mazi interrupted, "This is already very good. If you don't give a grain of food, wouldn't you just stare at me?"

Mo Huaixiang said: "Is there only one bucket of food for a family? It's enough for one person to eat for half a month. If the whole family eats it, it will be eaten up in three to five days!"

Old Master Long said: "It's a little less, so we are discussing that we cannot divide the food evenly. We have to determine the situation of each family. For those with a large population and particularly difficult, give more. For those with a small population, relatively better, give less."

Gu Yezhou smiled: "The county magistrate has decided to have a bucket for each household. If it is divided like this, many people may have any objections."

Morrie waved his hand and said, "It's okay, each household has a dou, that's the quota for each village. As for how to allocate the grain to everyone in the village, I have the final say. This has been discussed. Don't worry, sir, although you are the only one in your family, you are the pride of our village and a scholar. This food cannot be lost, so I'll give you a dou."

"Thank you!"

Old Master Long burped: "Okay, okay! That's it, the grain has not arrived yet, so let's think about how to divide it first. Who knows when the grain will be transferred?"

Morri said: "The county magistrate said that it's soon. It should be possible to come before the New Year, at least let the people have a good New Year."

Mo Huaixiang said: "Since there is no trace of food yet, are you still so happy?"

Old Master Long smiled and said, "Niece, you don't know that there is another great joy."

"Oh? What's the joy?"

"The largest thief in our Juzhou Prefecture has been wiped out by the imperial court! Do you think it's a good thing?"

Juzhou is the prefecture of Nanjia County. Because of the chaos and many vassal states, many people became bandits, one of which was the most powerful. The leader of the bandit was ranked third at home, so he took a nickname called "Three Gods", which was homophonic to be the mountain god. There were thousands of people under his command. They even attacked the county town, and the imperial court used troops to conquer and suppress them, but they had no effect. Because these powerful thieves were actually mainly for making a living, and like the heroes of Liangshan in Water Margin, there were very few people who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and most of them were robbed by the rich and poor, so the local people suffered a lot.

When Mo Huaixiang heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Are you serious about this?"

"Why is it not true that your father heard what the county magistrate said?"

"That's great." Mo Huaixiang said with a smile, "You have told you good news, and I have told you good news too!"

"Oh? What good news?"

Mo Huaixiang looked at Gu Yezhou mysteriously and said, "You don't know yet?" Just now, the husband used acupuncture to treat the two senior workers in my family, and it was cured soon! Each person only charged a penny and didn't need to take medicine. Is it amazing?! Hehehe?"

Old Master Long and Ma Mazi looked at each other and exclaimed together: "Mr. He is knowledgeable and talented, and it is really admirable!"

Mo Huaixiang said: "Since that's the case, are you sick? Let me see!"

Old Master Long and Ma Mazi both looked a little embarrassed, and they looked at each other without saying a word.

Gu Yezhou smiled and said, "The two masters are both noble and hired famous doctors from the county town to treat their illness. How can I treat them? I can only treat them to the people of Mud Legs."

Gu Yezhou said this, and Old Master Long and the others were embarrassed and hurriedly explained that it was not the case. Seeing Gu Yezhou feeling disappointed, Ma Mazi was even more frightened and said, "I really have a minor illness. I wonder if I can treat it?"

"Where is the one who is uncomfortable?"

"A piece on the back of my neck is always itchy, and I scratch it, but it's still useless, especially after drinking, it gets even worse. I found several famous doctors in the county and didn't look good. Otherwise, the sir can show me?"

Gu Yezhou got up and walked over, checked the back of his neck. Sure enough, a large area of ​​skin lesions had been scratched with thick moss-like calluses. Gu Yezhou asked about the time of the disease, and returned to his seat, saying, "I can cure your disease."

Ma Mazi looked at him half-believingly: "Really?"

"Are you itchy now?"

"Yes, it's very itchy. If I weren't at Li Zheng's house, I would have taken off my clothes and let the maid scratch it."

"Well, I can give you acupuncture and relieve itching now. However, this chronic disease cannot be cured in one go. It may take two or three months."

"Okay, okay, as long as I can cure it, I'll be happy! I'll give you double the medical fee! I'll give you two quotas at a time!" Ma Mazi shouted heroically.

Gu Yezhou smiled and shook his head: "Double is not enough."

Ma Mazi's eyes widened.

"I will treat the farmers and charge a cent at a time for acupuncture. That's because they don't have money. As Ma Mazi, can you compare with them?"

Ma Mazi smiled and said, "That's not possible, how much does that sir want?"

"If you don't say much, just follow the medical fee of famous doctors in the city!"

Ma Mazi was a little dumbfounded: "I invited Doctor Wang from the city. The cost of horses alone is 100 cents at a time! It's not counting the medicine money."

Gu Yezhou sneered: "Then has he cured the illness of the official's wife?"

"That's right, but he said this disease is difficult to cure, so you have to take it slowly."

"He can't cure it, I can cure it. Do you think I'm worth his price?"

Ma Mazi smiled and said, "Of course it's worth it, if it can be cured." Mori and Old Master Long also nodded and said yes.

Gu Yezhou said, "Okay, I'll give Ma Yuanwai acupuncture to relieve itching first. If it doesn't work, just say he's arrogant and talks after drinking." After that, he took out a few golden needles and asked Ma Yuanwai to wear a loose shirt, pierced into his Fengchi, Dazhui, Quchi, Weizhong, and Biyu acupoints, and then stabbed him with golden needles around the skin. The tip of the needle was pierced flatly along the bottom of the moss thickening layer to the center, leaving the needle. "Okay, eat first, wait until the meal is finished to see how the effect is?"

So Ma Mazi had a few golden needles inserted into the back of her neck, and then she continued to eat and drink.

After eating for a while, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "It seems that it's not so itchy!"

"I said this!" Mo Huaixiang said happily: "Sir, you are capable. You don't believe it."

Old Master Long said, "Wait a minute."

After eating wine for a while, Ma Mazi stood up and said, "It's really not itchy! Really!"

"How is it?" Mo Huaixiang said with a smile: "It's time to convince me, right?"

Gu Yezhou helped him start the acupuncture and said, "Your disease is only temporarily controlled now. When the acupuncture effect is over, it will still recur. If you want to cure it, you have to take acupuncture and take medicine and use external medicines together."

"Then..., how much does it cost?"

"I said, just follow the medical fee from Dr. Wang and others."

Old Master Long thought about it and said to Gu Yezhou: "This, our family needs to spend money, and we have to listen to Zhu Jing's. So I have to go back and ask her."

It turned out that Old Master Long had a problem with fear. Of course, it might be just an excuse to refuse. Gu Yezhou smiled and said, "It's okay, this is the case when you see a doctor. One is willing to beat him, and the other is willing to be beaten. There is no reason to ask for a doctor."

Mo Huaixiang said: "Then you should give the acupuncture money first!"

"Yes! Doctor Wang gave acupuncture to someone, and it charged twenty cents at a time. He also gave twenty cents to the teacher." After that, he took off his purse from his waist, counted out twenty cents, and gave it to Gu Yezhou.

After drinking and eating, it was already dark. Gu Yezhou stood up and said goodbye and went back. Mo Huaixiang gave him.

In the living room, Mori was sitting and talking with two staff members. Mori was talking to Ma Mazi: "Do you still don't believe in your medical skills? Find such an excuse."

Ma Mazi said embarrassedly: "That's right, acupuncture and itch relief is nothing. Doctor Wang can do it, but it will be difficult to cure it thoroughly. He can only do it with one show if he can do it? If he does it, then what else can he teach? Don't go to the county town to be a miracle doctor?"

"This is reasonable!" Old Master Long nodded, "He may have seen the hardships of life and wanted to fight Qiufeng from Mr. Ma."

Morrie was silenced and said, "You can't say that. Sir is still a very strong man. He never does anything to cheat. If you ask him to treat him, let him treat him. Don't forget it, don't say it so badly."

"Yes!" Old Master Long knew that he had lost his words after drinking, and looked ashamed.

Morrizheng said again: "Mr.'s medical skills are still very tricky. Not to mention anything else, just his own injuries. Just think about it, such a serious injury has almost healed in just a few days. I heard from Huaixiang that it was all Mr. prescribed medicine for himself and acupuncture for himself. This is a clear proof of his medical skills!"

"Yes! Li Zheng was right instructing him." The two hurriedly expressed their agreement.

Morrie was just looking outside the door, and the maids were far away, and then he whispered: "The food for disaster relief should be done according to the list we discussed, but you should remind your poor relatives not to talk nonsense outside!"

Old Master Long and Ma Mazi nodded again: "That's right, Li Zheng is relieved. Li Zheng has taken care of them like this. They are naturally grateful and will not talk nonsense outside."
