Chapter 729 Fire Gun
Xiao Chiye looked at Xiao Zimu and said, "The Northwest Army has enough horses now. We can send some to them, but we can't just send them to one camp. We need to distribute them equally to every camp."
Xiao Zimu nodded: "I see, is this also true for wolves and jackals?"
Xiao Chiye: "Same thing, don't send too many. If you send too many, I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of them."
"Okay, I'll arrange it when I return to the military camp." Xiao Zimu took note of it very seriously.
Xia Wanniang: "It's a little later than the time I promised them."
Xiao Chiye looked at her with a smile: "There's nothing we can do about it. Cultivation also takes time."
Xia Wanniang is not really worried now, because agriculture in the northwest is now developed on a large scale, and crops such as wine, watermelon, and cotton have become the best-selling products.
Every year Xu Mang would leave them some newly brewed wine, and the rest was basically sold out.
Chai Song walked in at this time: "Madam, Third Master, there is a letter from Master Wu and His Majesty."
Xia Wanniang took the letter and he was reading the letter from Wu Xiao.
He said that during the time he lived by the sea, he saw ships from overseas. The people there looked very strange, some were white and some were black, and they spoke in a language that was incomprehensible.
But they brought with them a lot of beautiful gems, and some perfume, and other odd things.
He had someone buy some, put them in the space button, and asked the falcon to bring them back.
Xia Wanniang looked at Chai Song and asked, "Where is the space button that Yingshuan brought back?"
Chai Song handed her the space button in his hand: "Here."
The content of Xiao Chiye's letter was relatively simple. It mentioned two things: Zhong Li wanted their children to study in the northwest.
Another thing, which is related to what Wu Xiao said, is that there were ships from overseas docking, but no one understood what they were saying.
Xia Wanniang looked at everyone present and said, "Let's first see what Master Wu bought and brought back." Then she found a vacant space and threw the space button to the ground.
A lot of things appeared in front of everyone's eyes, including clothes, some jewelry and the like.
Yu Wanwan let Xu Li help her walk over: "Why are there gems here?"
After she finished speaking, she asked Xu Li to bring what she was talking about so that she could see it.
Xu Li asked her to stand aside, and he went to get the box she mentioned and handed it to her: "Here."
Xia Wanniang did find some interesting things in here. They looked like syringes, stethoscopes and the like. Is there already Western medicine overseas now?
Xiao Chiye saw that she was holding something strange in her hand and squatted beside him: "What's wrong?"
Xia Wanniang showed him what was in her hand: "This is something used in Western medicine."
When Rouyue heard this, she came over and asked, "Are there any Western doctors out there now?"
Rou Xingyue came over curiously: "Mom, what is Western medicine?"
Rouyue briefly explained to her that Western medicine is also a way to cure diseases and save lives, but it is different from traditional Chinese medicine.
Rou Xingyue looked at the things in Xia Wanniang's hand with great curiosity. She wanted to know what these things were used for.
Xia Wanniang noticed her gaze, asked her to come to her side, took out a stethoscope, put it on her ear, and placed the front end on her heart.
Rou Xingyue's beautiful eyes were almost open like a kitten, listening to the heartbeat coming from her ears: "This?"
Xia Wanniang took off the stethoscope from her ear and said, "This is a diagnostic method of Western medicine. This is a stethoscope. This is a syringe in my hand, which can inject medicine into the human body."
Rou Xingyue looked at the needle in front of her: "Doesn't it hurt?"
"It will definitely hurt, but sometimes this kind of treatment is faster and more effective." Xia Wanniang put the things away. These things were still quite dangerous, so it was better to put them away first.
Xiao Zimu took out a musket: "Mom, look at this."
When Xia Wanniang saw this thing, she instantly felt a headache. Are there already muskets outside?
Xiao Chiye also frowned: "It seems that the development outside is much faster than ours."
Xia Wanniang frowned, not knowing whether this was good news or bad news.
