45　　Chen Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Wu Hong looked confused, but Doctor Bai was a veteran.

　　"Oh, it's even better if we're acquaintances. Come and sit down."

　　The Jianghu hero sat down without a care in the world, and then continued to talk to Chen Jie: "Little brother, I didn't ask your name last time we met. Your name is Jiu Si, what's your last name?"

　　The Jianghu hero was quite good at talking, and he said this to Chen Jie at this time.

　　Chen Jie said: "My dear hero, it's just a common name, so I won't ask. By the way, you must be thirsty, have some tea!"

　　The hero took the cup, which contained hot tea.

　　He didn't even feel the heat at all and drank it in one gulp, even the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup went into his stomach.

　　"I'm actually a little thirsty."

　　After he finished drinking the tea, Doctor Bai held up a pulse pillow and asked him to put his hand on it, then began to take his pulse.

　　But he continued to say to Chen Jie: "Hey, little brother, I have to thank you. The way to make money you gave me is really useful. I went to find the eldest master of the Yu family. This guy was quite hospitable. I slapped him twice, and he gave me one thousand taels of silver..."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie didn't say anything. Wu Hong on the side was about to jump up. He said it was robbery and extortion in front of him, a constable!

　　And Chen Jie, are you involved in this?

　　At this time, Chen Jie winked at Wu Hong repeatedly, "My good brother, please be honest. Let's find a way to send him away first."

　　Wu Hong suppressed his anger. Although he hated evil, he was not stupid. After a brief test at the door just now, he knew that he was far from being his opponent.

　　We really can't be impulsive now, Grandpa and Jiu Si are still here!

　　Thinking of this, Wu Hong suppressed his anger and came to Doctor Bai's side. If this martial artist suddenly attacked and hurt someone, he could also fight back. Although he was not his opponent, he was still better than Jiu Si and his grandfather!

　　Doctor Bai seemed unaware of the strange situation outside.

　　Just feel the pulse carefully.

　　The "Pulse Classic" says: From the thenar eminence to the gaogu, go one inch back, which is called: Cunkou.

　　One inch below is the Guan pulse, and the one below that is the Chi pulse.

　　Therefore, there are three pulses in traditional Chinese medicine: Cun, Guan, and Chi.

　　The Cun, Guan and Chi fingers correspond to the five internal organs of the human body. Therefore, to determine whether a Chinese medicine practitioner is professional, you can observe how he feels the pulse. The scenes on TV where he makes decisions just by feeling the pulse with his hand are mostly artistic fictions.

　　Both hands are Cun, Guan and Chi.

　　Doctor Bai felt it and said: The left inch pulse is weak and floating, which is responsible for the small intestine. You should have a trauma under your right rib.

　　In addition, the right inch pulse is heavy, which means the lungs have been injured, probably in the palm, which has injured a part of the lung meridian. Is this why you have a long cough late at night?

　　Doctor Bai looked at the wanderer.

　　The Jianghu guest's eyes lit up and he said, "Doctor Bai is really amazing. He said exactly what he said. My left lung was hit by a palm and my right rib was stabbed by a knife!"

　　"Doctor Bai was right exactly. This is the best doctor in Xiantao Town. His reputation is well-deserved!"

　　Doctor Bai waved his hand and said, "Yes, yes, thank you for your compliment!"

　　Upon hearing this, Jianghu Ke said, "You're welcome. By the way, can this injury be cured?"

　　Doctor Bai said, "If this injury happened to an ordinary person, he would be either disabled or half dead. But for you, it is not a serious injury. You only need a few doses of medicine and a few days of rest to recover."

　　The Jianghu guest said, "Doctor Bai, please prescribe the medicine quickly."

　　Doctor Bai said, "Well, I can quickly suppress your chronic cough, but this knife wound needs to be healed, which will take at least ten days to half a month."

　　The Jianghu guest said, "Don't worry about the knife wound. I can heal myself. But I need Doctor Bai to find a way to treat my cough. I cough every night and it agitates the wound. I use my Qi to suppress it, but the more I suppress it, the worse the cough becomes. It's so annoying!"

　　After hearing this, Doctor Bai said, "Well, the lung meridian is severely injured, and the qi is stagnant. If you suppress it with your internal force, it will naturally backfire."

　　"Ninety-four."

　　Doctor Bai said something, and Chen Jie came over and said, "Master."

　　Doctor Bai said, "Get some paper and pen."

　　"yes."

　　Soon, paper and pen arrived. Doctor Bai quickly wrote down a few prescriptions and said, "I don't have all the herbs here. Go to the pharmacy and buy some. Follow the prescription and boil three bowls of water into one bowl of water. Take it before going to bed every day. It will be effective in two days!"

　　After hearing this, Jianghu Ke looked at the prescription and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you Doctor Bai. If it works, I will definitely come to thank you."

　　The Jianghu guest looked at Doctor Bai with a playful look in his eyes. Doctor Bai understood what he meant. If it worked, he would come to thank him. If it didn't work, would he kill his whole family?

　　And what if Doctor Bai put some illicit activities into the prescription?

　　When Jianghu doctors treat patients, they don't trust others wholeheartedly, and sometimes they are all on guard against each other.

　　This sentence is a warning.

　　Chen Jie even felt that when he was taking the medicine, he would most likely let others try it first.

　　Doctor Bai looked at the Jianghu hero and said, "By the way, sir, you must choose the right medicine, don't be cheated."

　　After hearing this, the Jianghu hero laughed and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If the medicine is not right, I won't be able to find Doctor Bai here."

　　"By the way, how much is the doctor's consultation fee?"

　　Doctor Bai smiled and said, "I need help in an emergency, why would I need a consultation fee?"

　　The Jianghu guest took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his pocket, slapped it on the table and said, "We charge for seeing a doctor, the rules cannot be abolished."

　　As he turned to leave, Doctor Bai shouted, "That's too much!"

　　The Jianghu guest waved his hand and said, "It's not much. Besides, this money was earned by your apprentice's guidance. The extra money is considered a reward!"

　　Fuck...

　　Seeing that Jianghu Ke didn't forget to point at him before leaving, Chen Jie wanted to swear, but after thinking about it, he decided to give it up.

　　At this time, Doctor Bai and Wu Hong on the side looked at Chen Jie together.

　　"Jiu Si, what's going on? How did you get to know such a desperate gangster?"

　　Wu Hong asked anxiously, and Doctor Bai also looked at Chen Jie.

　　Chen Jie, with a look of despair on his face, said: "Master, Brother Wu, this, this can only be called God's will!"

　　"What's the meaning?"

　　Chen Jie asked: "Do you remember the red-eyed pheasant?"

　　Wu Hong said: "How can I forget what happened the day before yesterday? Is it related to it?"

　　Chen Jie said with a bitter face, "It is related. I later found out that the red-eyed pheasant escaped from Yu Biao's hands. Yu Biao even sent people to investigate the matter. I was exposed, so my cousin spread a rumor that the red-eyed pheasant was captured by a quack wearing a bamboo hat and with a scar on his face. Who would have thought that as soon as I finished telling this lie, I saw him at the wonton stall in the town..."

Chapter 59: Lu San Asks for Help

　　"Okay, there are twelve fish in total, six grass carps, two yellow croakers, and four small fish. The total tax you need is forty-four coins!"

　　"Next."

　　…

　　At the dock of Xiantao Town on the Mianshui River, the fishermen have brought up today's catch after a morning of work.

　　The first thing to do when going ashore is to pay taxes to the fishing gang.

　　The main job of the fishing gang's men is to collect taxes at this time.

　　A grass carp can be sold for about eight cents, and the fishing gang collects three cents as tax. Yellow croaker is more expensive and can be sold for twelve cents, and the fishing gang collects five cents. Various miscellaneous fish are generally around nine to ten cents, so they need to pay four cents in tax.

　　In addition, each fisherman has to pay a docking fee of ten cents per day.

　　It can be said that a fisherman can make a net profit of fifty or sixty cents a day, which is equivalent to five or six kilograms of grain.

　　This amount of money is not much to support a family of five or six people.

　　In addition, fishing nets, boats and other things need to be repaired. In short, we are in a state of not being able to eat enough but not starving to death.

　　This is also the number calculated by the fishing gang's advisors after careful calculation.

　　Only in this way can these fishermen work hard every day to fish and generate income for the fishing gang. If the income is less, the fishermen will have extra money and they will stop working. Who are the bosses of the fishing gang exploiting?

　　Just like in today's society, if everyone has enough food and clothing, no one will work, and won't the social mechanism be paralyzed?

　　Therefore, we need to give young office workers all kinds of incentives and temptations, such as buying houses, cars, and luxury goods, to increase their desires and get them moving!

　　Be a good worker!

　　Similarly, the common people of this era are also beasts of burden in the eyes of the upper class. They will try every means to control them so that they have to work non-stop and be exploited!

　　The fishing gangs did this, the shipping gangs did this, and even the government did this.

　　This is a very complete mechanism. It will try every means to keep you poor. Only when you are poor will you work hard and create value for them!

　　In modern society, the way to break down these class barriers is to read.

　　And this world is all about practicing martial arts!

　　The guys in the fishing gang collected taxes and put the money into their pockets. But when they handed it over, there was a trick!

　　This is also the reason why everyone envies the fishing gang members.

　　In this countryside, being able to become a member of a fishing gang is basically equivalent to passing the exam to become a grassroots civil servant. Since the Daqian government does not go to the countryside, the vacuum of power at the grassroots level is filled by the major gangs.

　　"Big bow!"

　　A waiter rushed to a pavilion near the pier.

　　Inside the pavilion, a man in his thirties was sitting on a chair with various seasonal fruits and vegetables in front of him. A fawning waiter beside him even brought him a cup of hot tea.

　　This person is the captain Zhao Xun.

　　"Big bow!"

　　The waiter rushed over, and the captain looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
