In ancient times, there was little entertainment at night. Night market life took shape only in the Tang Dynasty, and there were also night markets in the Song Dynasty.

So, why not talk about the Tang and Song Dynasties together? We must talk about the Tang Dynasty first and then talk about the Song Dynasty separately.

Damn it, defeating the Song Dynasty is rubbish. It is worthy of the Tang and Song Dynasties and tied with the Tang Dynasty. It is not worthy, bah!

It is obviously not possible to go to bed immediately after eating.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang were idle, and Li Mengxi was also idle.

One thing was about the Western Regions. Because Li Mengxi had talked about the Western Regions, Gaochang Kingdom, and cotton, Liu, Guan, and Zhang thought that Li Mengxi knew the customs and customs of the countries in the Western Regions. Anyway, they had nothing to do after dinner, so the three of them wanted to hear Li Mengxi talk about it.

two.

Unlike the Han people of the Qing Dynasty who were stuck in their own ways, the Han people of this Han Dynasty were particularly interested in countries outside their borders.

If you want to conquer the world, you must know how heavy the cauldron is.

The Han people are very interested in countries outside the territory. If they want to know about the countries outside the territory, they must be able to know them.

Therefore, Ban Chao was able to intimidate the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. This was not only a powerful force, but also the embodiment of the enterprising spirit of the entire Han people during the Han Dynasty.

Li Mengxi had a vague impression of the Western Regions. He only knew that in later generations, many of the countries in the Western Regions were already part of the Chinese territory, and some others were no longer part of the Chinese territory.

In addition, for Li Mengxi, who had poor geographical knowledge, he could not explain the geography of the countries in the Western Regions at all.

Then there is only the scenery to talk about.

Li Mengxi talked about grape wine and plagiarized a poem,

Grape wine luminous cup,

If you want to drink the pipa, urge me immediately.

Don’t laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield,

How many people have fought in ancient times?

This is a frontier fortress poem, and there is naturally a majestic atmosphere of the battlefield in the poem, which greatly appealed to Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

I imagined the fragrant grape wine that was as red as blood and as luscious as the mouth. I also thought about how elegant the luminous cup that glowed a long blue at night and could be translucent under the moonlight would be used to hold the wine.

Listening to Li Mengxi's poems recited in cadences and hitting the table with his hands, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were dazzled.

When talking about the Bactrian camel, it was said that a camel can travel thousands of miles in the yellow sand without eating or drinking for a month. Liu, Guan, and Zhang were even more surprised.

I heard from Li Mengxi that a camel’s water is stored in its hump, so it’s okay if you don’t drink water for a month.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang were even more confused after hearing this.

Furthermore, the Western Regions are rich in melons and fruits.

The cantaloupe is as sweet as honey, the watermelon is sandy and sweet because of the sufficient sunlight, and there are too many grapes to pick, and the grapes are sun-dried and sweet.

After listening to Li Mengxi talk about the sweat-blooded horses in the Western Regions, I realized that not only the sweat-blooded horses are good horses, but also the Wusun horses and the river horses farther west in the Western Regions. They are all good horses.

It is also said that one can reach Tianzhu from the Western Regions, which means the body is poisonous. Tianzhu has Wutz steel, which makes the swords extremely sharp.

Then, he talked about the beauties from the Western Regions who were good at dancing and the music from the Western Regions, which made Li Mengxi's mouth go dry.

It's not because the beauty's mouth is dry, but because she's tired.

This point is made clearly.

Then, unable to think of anything else to say, Li Mengxi walked away.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang were listening intently, so how could they let him run away?

Li Mengxi knew it, and he couldn't think of anything to say if he continued talking.

"I see the lights are still on at the medical center. I'm going to see if the military doctors are still busy."

Then, I found an opportunity and ran away with a alcohol lamp.

After Li Mengxi left, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were silent for a long time.

"The Western Region is really a treasure. If one day we expand the territory to thousands of miles, wouldn't it be great if all this land that produces fine wine, BMWs and fine steel is ours!" Liu Bei was fascinated. He banged his hand on the stone table and sighed. He only regretted that the sky was high and the road was far away.

Flying over.

Guan and Zhang agreed.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that there was a horse in Dawan, so he sent troops to attack Daxia.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang heard that there were fine wines, BMWs, and fine steels in the Western Regions, and they wanted to capture them.

From the beginning of Han Dynasty to the end of Han Dynasty, the domineering spirit of the Han people has been inherited in one continuous line.

Even though it was night, there was still a long queue of people waiting to see a doctor at the medical clinic.

Li Mengxi went to the medical center and saw the military doctor kneeling behind a low table, taking a woman's pulse.

When Li Mengxi came, he was too embarrassed to disturb him. He put the alcohol lamp on the low table and waited quietly for the military doctor to finish his work.

The military doctor must be a master of medicine. Li Mengxi could tell by looking at the calm and calm pulse of this guy, and the skillful way he stood up and took the medicine.

After grabbing the medicine, the military doctor called to other civilians who were helping outside and asked them to help him boil the medicine.

Li Mengxi looked out and saw that in the yard, there were people boiling medicine, people drinking medicine, and people holding bowls with medicine in their hands that had not yet had a chance to drink.

There are hundreds of civilians, and even if only one-tenth of them need to drink medicine, there are still sixty or seventy people, and there are only five or six medicine cans. If it takes thirty minutes to boil one can of medicine, then it will take five minutes to boil it.

It took only fifty or sixty hours to apply the medicine, which was not enough for one round.

This is just a few hundred people. If there is an army of tens of thousands fighting on the battlefield with many dead bodies, the probability of a plague outbreak is very high. If there is a plague and tens of thousands of people drink medicine, then all the cooking utensils will have to be hit.

Enough.

But what about medicine?

One person takes one tael of medicine, and thirty thousand people take 30,000 taels of medicine.

How many taels is a pound? It’s easy to calculate based on ten taels.

Thirty thousand taels of medicine is equivalent to three thousand catties.

Three thousand kilograms of medicine is not three thousand kilograms of grass. If three thousand kilograms of medicine is collected temporarily without advance preparation, even if there is a nearby city to supply it, due to the relationship between the region and the season, it is impossible to raise that much medicine in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi looked at the people outside the house in a daze.

The military doctor saw that he was distracted and could not interrupt him, so he quietly waved his hand and asked the people in line behind him to wait.

After a while, Li Mengxi came back to his senses, looked at the military doctor who was also wearing a dagger on his head in the room, and asked, "Bu, if there are three thousand troops and horses, if there is an epidemic in the army, what kind of medicinal materials should be prepared?"

How many medicinal materials should be prepared?"

When Li Mengxi asked this question, Bu hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Li Mengxi, "There are different medicines for different diseases, so I don't dare to say how many types of medicines should be prepared."

"Only when you are prepared can you avoid danger. Prepare all the medicines for all epidemics. No matter what the epidemic is, our army is well prepared, so we will not be afraid.

Let me ask you, military doctor, how many medicines are needed for all kinds of epidemics for three thousand people?"

The problem was complicated. Li Mengxi asked, how much would it cost if all the plagues and all the medicinal materials to deal with the plagues were prepared?

To deal with different plagues, there are different prescriptions, different prescriptions, and different medicinal materials used. It is almost a test of the level of military medicine.

Bu's brows tightened, and his hands moved back and forth in his palms. Bu was not very good at counting, so he was very familiar with the prescriptions and knew how many medicines to use. However, it took him a long time to calculate.

Li Mengxi was waiting.

After a long time, Bu frowned slightly, "We need to prepare more than ten thousand kilograms of medicine." Bu said.

When Li Mengxi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "Ah?!"

Ten thousand kilograms is a large number in modern times, let alone in ancient times when logistics was weak.

When marching to fight, how many trucks will it take to carry ten thousand kilograms of herbs?

Li Mengxi looked at Bu with strange eyes and hesitated to speak.

He has to ask himself whether there are all the medicinal materials to prevent all diseases. What people calculate is the total number of medicines needed for all diseases.
