Chapter 309: Foot-and-mouth disease


When Zhen Jian returned home, it was already evening, everyone in the family was very jubilant, Zhen Jian took everyone to the restaurant to have a meal, the family opened a restaurant is cool, and you can eat when you want to eat a big meal.

Recently, Zhen Jian has been a little busy, first to go to the military department to join, but also to personally inquire about the preparation of the secret weapon academy, carefully selected more than 1,000 prisoners of war to be workers, the process of making gunpowder is actually not much, but he deliberately divided the process, and added seven or eight useless processes, disturbing the audio-visual, in case someone leaks the production method of gunpowder, he believes that with the current production method, the formula of gunpowder will not leak out.

Half a month later, the secret weapon academy began to officially produce gunpowder, Zhen Jian also specially recruited some craftsmen to study artillery, after all, artillery is the king of firearms, the production of the secret weapon academy is on the right track, Zhen Jian also began to shift the focus of work to the military department, after all, he is the military department.

It just so happened that it was the period of military supply once a year, and the annual military supply was naturally sent to Xiangfan, after all, Xiangfan was the military center of the entire Great Chu and the gate of Great Chu.

This time, Zhang Heng, the secretary of the military department, handed over the matter of the supply to Zhen Jian.

The general process of military supply is to handle the military supplies by the household department, hand them over to the military department, and after the military department takes over, send them to Xiangfan, which sounds very simple, but in fact, it has to go through a lot of procedures, the most important of which is to check whether the military supplies are qualified, and it is the style of the household department to deceive, after all, Xiangfan's military supplies are not a small amount, how can these corrupt officials let go.

Coincidentally, the book is not written, this time the main person in charge of the military department in charge of handling military supplies is Zhen Wen, and the uncle and nephew met again.

Since Zhen Wen took refuge in Qin Huan, Qin Huan asked him many times about Zhen Jian's situation, but he didn't use him much, and let him serve as the head of the household department.

Although the principal is not a big official, he is also a fat poor, Zhen Wen wants to climb up, how can he not be greedy, this time, the military standard given by the imperial court is 500,000 guan, swords, guns, armor, bows and arrows and other items are provided by the ordnance supervisor, and 500,000 guan are all used to purchase tin pots, quilts, cotton clothes, war horses, etc.

In order to be greedy for this money, Zhen Wen specially found some black-hearted businessmen and purchased defective military supplies from them, only spending 200,000 yuan, and the remaining 300,000 yuan were all filled into his own pocket.

When it was time to hand over the materials to the Ministry of War, he was dumbfounded when he saw Zhen Jian, he had a lot of silver tickets stuffed in his arms, ready to use the Ministry of War, but he didn't expect to meet Zhen Jian.

The handover site was in the Kusi compound of the military headquarters, and the courtyard was full of horse-drawn carriages, loaded with goods, and a group of coolies were unloading the contents of the carriages.

Zhen Jian looked at the list of materials in his hand, looked up and asked Zhen Wen: "What about 10,000 war horses?"

” Zhen Wendao: "It's been sent to the racecourse." ” Zhen Jian nodded, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Don't unload it all first, stop it!"

” Hearing this, the coolies suddenly stopped and turned their heads to look at Zhen Jian.

Zhen Jian slowly walked to a pile of materials that had just been unloaded, picked up a tin pot, only to feel that this tin pot was so light that it floated, and when he pinched it with his hand, the tin pot was suddenly deformed, and Zhen Wen's face turned green when he saw this.

Zhen Jian held the tin pot in his hand, walked up to Zhen Wen, and sneered: "Director Zhen, is this tin pot sent to the border soldiers or a toy?"

So thin?

” Zhen Wen stubbornly said: "This was received from the merchant, I didn't expect them to deceive me with fakes!"

” Zhen Jian casually threw away the tin pot, picked up a cotton coat from a pile of materials, rubbed it with his hands, and suddenly pulled it hard, "snort", and the cotton coat was torn open, revealing the white cotton wool inside.

At a glance, cotton wool is cotton wool, but the cotton content of this cotton wool is a little problematic, most of them are reed flowers, and it is not easy to find so many reed flowers in this season.

Zhen Jian looked at Zhen Wen with a smile: "Director Zhen, do you wear such cotton clothes in winter?"

” Zhen Wen pretended to scold: "This ** businessman!

” Zhen Jian checked the quilt again, and the cotton wool in the quilt was also mixed with reed flowers, anyway, all the materials were unqualified.

This is not over, Zhen Jian suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "These materials, adding up to less than 50,000 yuan, this time, the most important thing is the war horse, which is also the most expensive, and now the official is looking forward to what the war horse brought by Director Zhen will be like." ” Zhen Wen trembled when he heard this, and his face was like earth.

When the group came to the horse farm, they saw that 10,000 war horses had not yet entered the trough, and all of them were locked up in the horse farm.

He specially bit the four words of Qianli Liangju very hard, full of irony.

The two horse masters naturally knew what it meant, and immediately went to check.

These two horse masters are experienced, and they don't need to take a closer look when they walk into the racecourse, so they just walked and looked, and only came out after half a pillar of incense, Zhen Jian smiled and asked, "How are these war horses?"

” A horse master surnamed He shook his head and sighed: "It's all horses and injured horses." ” Another horse master, surnamed Guan, added: "Xiaguan also saw many old horses. ” Zhen Wenyan's face was ugly when he heard this, as if he had just finished eating.

Zhen Jian looked at Zhen Wen with a sneer, and said, "Director Zhen, do you hear, these materials you sent are all unqualified, please take them all, don't put them in our military department, blame them for occupying the place."

As he spoke, he threw the receipt directly on Zhen Wen's face, turned around and walked away.

Zhen Wen took the receipt in embarrassment, looked at Zhen Jian's distant back, and gritted his teeth in anger.

At this time, a small official stepped forward and asked, "Lord in charge, what should I do?"

” "What else can I do!

Ship them all back!

Zhen Wen could only sprinkle his anger on the little official, roared angrily, and got all the war horses and all the supplies back.

There is a time limit for the supply of military supplies, and now that most of the time has passed, if the supplies are not yet issued, they will be questioned, and as for whose guilt is asked, it depends on who has dropped the chain.

Zhen Wen hurriedly went to the group of unscrupulous profiteers to return all the materials to them, this ** businessman quit, the money was in hand, and there was no turning back, and Zhen Wen also said when he bought it, he wanted the worst and cheapest, besides, they didn't have any contract, so they weren't afraid of him.

Zhen Wen had no choice but to ask for help from a Langzhong Li Si of the Household Department, Zhen Wen knew that Qin Huan's line was a bit high, so he usually bribed and bribed the officials of the Household Department, and Li Si of the Household Department was his key bribe.

Li Si reprimanded him, came forward to find those profiteers, and forcibly returned the goods, but the ** businessmen naturally did not dare to fight with the court officials, so they could only agree to return the goods.

Zhen Wen finally got the money back, and re-purchased the materials, and finally prepared the materials two days before the specified date and sent them to the Ministry of War.

But by coincidence, there was a sudden outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the capital, and a large number of pigs, cattle, horses and sheep suffered from foot-and-mouth disease and died, Zhen Jian was taken aback after receiving the news, and immediately sent someone to inspect the war horses, and found that more than 30 war horses had been infected with foot-and-mouth disease, and immediately isolated the more than 30 war horses.

The next day, it was found that seven horses were infected with foot-and-mouth disease, and then isolated, and continued to feed medicine, and each horse was fed.

Foot-and-mouth disease is a very contagious disease, mostly occurs in artiodactyls, can be fatal, in this era, there is no good treatment for foot-and-mouth disease, generally encounter foot-and-mouth disease, can only look at a head of livestock infected and die, very helpless.

Fortunately, Zhen Jian's medicine was very useful, not only did not one of the ten thousand war horses die, but those infected war horses also gradually improved, and after five days, the symptoms of foot-and-mouth disease on all the war horses disappeared.

The foot-and-mouth disease in the capital became more and more serious, Zhen Jian handed over his prescription to Shangshu Zhang Heng, and asked him to dedicate it to the emperor, the emperor learned that Zhen Jian actually offered a prescription that could cure foot-and-mouth disease, and he was really happy, and immediately handed over the prescription to the Tai Hospital, and asked them to copy the prescription to various medical centers and veterinary halls in the capital, so as to pacify the foot-and-mouth disease in the capital as soon as possible, so as not to cause heavy losses.

You know, the ancient cattle are very precious, the cattle are also the guarantee of agriculture, if all the cattle in the capital died of foot-and-mouth disease, then the summer planting in the capital will become a problem, the imperial court does not spend tens of millions to disaster relief, it is estimated that these cattle can not be supplemented, and the cattle are national treasures in this era.

Zhen Jian's prescription spread all over the capital in an instant, seven days later, foot-and-mouth disease was extinct in the capital, most of the ploughing cattle in the capital were preserved, and 10,000 war horses were unscathed.
