Chapter 355 Birthday Gift for Chu Liang
"Well, let's get more out. By the end of the year or early spring next year at the latest, we will have another big battle with the Western Hu people. Before that, we need to stock up on enough medical supplies."
It's already quite good that they have managed to get penicillin to this point. Medicine is just like studying medicine. Only when it is actually put into use can all its shortcomings be discovered in the shortest possible time. Currently, all their experiments are conducted on poultry as specimens. There will definitely be differences in the values when applied to humans. Only after using it will they be able to make further improvements.
"Ah."
Led by Mu Yunran, everyone nodded in unison. They worked so hard just to prepare for the coming war.
"Wei Shiyi is at Ershi, come here for a moment."
Putting down the test tube, Shen Xiangwan walked towards the podium. The ten people who were named looked at each other and stood in front of him one after another: "Madam!"
For some reason, even though they had met Madam's requirements and were used to studying medicine seriously, they were still a little scared when facing her.
"Next month is my brother's birthday. He is the general guarding the East Border. He often leads his troops to fight against the Qiang State. The casualties among the soldiers are great. I want to send you to the East Border to help my brother save the lives of the soldiers. At the same time, you should also teach the military doctors how to treat and suture the wounds as much as possible. What do you think?"
Looking at them one by one, Shen Xiangwan slowly said that this was one of the birthday gifts she gave to Chu Liang. He is now the commander-in-chief, and there is no better gift than being able to save the lives of as many soldiers as possible.
The group of ten people did not answer immediately. After a while, Wei Shiyi finally asked boldly, "Madam, can we still come back?"
It was she who bought them, taught them to read and write, and let them learn medical skills, changing their fate of being enslaved. If possible, they wanted to follow her and learn more medical skills.
"can."
Facing their eager eyes, Shen Xiangwan continued, "You should also know what we are going to do. If we succeed in the future, I will transfer all of you to the Imperial City, and you will naturally be able to come back then."
In other words, if they fail, they can’t come back.
"Ma'am, I'm willing to go!"
Lifting up his skirt and kneeling on the ground, Wei Shiyi kowtowed deeply to her with tears in his eyes. He believed that his wife and his family would succeed, so he also believed that they would return to his wife one day and continue to study medicine with her.
"We'd like to go, too."
Seeing this, the others knelt down in unison, all of them with tears in their eyes. Being willing to obey her orders was one thing, but leaving was another. They were reluctant to leave. In a blink of an eye, it had been almost a year since they came here, and everyone truly regarded this place as their home.
"Get up."
Waving his hand for them to get up, Shen Xiang straightened their lapels before going to bed: "My brother is not a harsh person. As long as you do your job well, he will not treat you unfairly. I hope that in a few years, we can meet again in the Imperial City."
After all, these were the people she had spent a lot of effort to train, so Shen Xiangwan was somewhat reluctant to let them go. However, compared with Chu Liang and the soldiers from the East Territory, this reluctance seemed insignificant. Now her only hope was that they could all live well.
"Yes!" Tears rolled down their cheeks uncontrollably, and everyone clasped their fists and bowed at the same time. They would, they would definitely return to the lady.
"You will go to the East Territory with the guards in a few days. Have a good farewell with Wei Yi and the others these few days."
After that, Shen Xiangwan took Yuan Yue Yuan Ying away. Looking at her back, everyone was silent. Mu Yunran looked at them and sighed helplessly. In fact, she should have guessed this. The Wei family guarded the Eastern Territory all year round. How could they ignore the safety there? The medical children who are good at surgery can indeed save more lives of soldiers.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was mid-April. Early May was Chu Liang's birthday. On this day, Shen Xiangwan took out more than a thousand kilograms of jars of wine, hundreds of sets of decanters and crystal glasses, and a large amount of alcohol and other medical supplies and gave them to Lin Wei from the Space Department, asking him to take them to the East Territory as her birthday gift to Chu Liang.
"Take care, ma'am!"
Before leaving, the medical boys, each carrying a medicine box, bowed their heads again and said goodbye, with tears in everyone's eyes. The battlefield is dangerous, even military doctors may still encounter danger. They don't know whether they can live to see the lady again, but they will try their best to stay alive, just for the lady's words that we will meet again in the imperial city!
"Go."
With one hand behind his back, Shen Xiangwan said calmly.
"Yes!"
Standing up and taking one last look at her, the medical boys climbed onto the two carriages one after another. Lin Wei, who was sitting astride a tall horse, said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
"Snapped!"
The guards acting as coachmen whipped their horse whips and the two carriages sped away. Lin Wei nodded to Shen Xiangwan again before tightening the reins and turning the horses around. Only after watching them disappear from sight did Shen Xiangwan call on the medical boys who were also seeing them off to turn around.
On the Binzhou battlefield, the two armies clashed for the first time. As expected, the insurgents, which had been advancing rapidly since the uprising, were defeated and had to retreat to the city and stay indoors. The Binzhou army led by Wanqi Shan was frantically attacking the city. Recently, there were battle reports from Binzhou almost every day, and Wei Chengyi focused most of his attention on it.
As for Shen Xiangwan, April and May are the seasons of spring flowers, and the temperature is very suitable for brewing wine, which can be fermented in a dozen days. After sending the medical boys away, she took Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying to the workshop and began to drain the grape dregs and settle them for bottling. This time she customized a total of 60,000 wine bottles, 30,000 of which have been delivered by the kiln factory, and the rest are being delivered every day.
Shen Xiangwan brought more than twenty people with her every day and worked for more than ten days to fill all 60,000 bottles of wine. She sealed the remaining small amount of wine in ordinary wine jars and kept it for them to drink.
"Mrs. Wei, I heard that you have released a new wine?"
On this day, the first caravan leader who cooperated with them and specialized in overseas routes came to their door in person. His name was Chen Ming, a man in his thirties. Last time when the winery was selling wine, none of them noticed it. By the time they found out, the winery had run out of stock. This time, when he heard that the winery was selling wine again, he couldn't sit still, and took advantage of the gap between La Liuli and Gaoliang wine to come to their door, hoping to buy a large amount of their wine.
"Yes, it's wine. Mr. Chen is also interested?"
Shen Xiangwan smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip. After being out of stock for more than a month, their wine was restocked, which attracted retaliatory purchases from wealthy households. The daily limit of one thousand bottles was almost always sold out in less than half an hour. Many wealthy households had already sent messages through Cheng Yusheng, hoping that they could brew more wine so that they could buy as much as they wanted.
