Taking advantage of Fu Yuan's efforts to get medicine, Chen Mu talked with the doctor Cheng Hongyuan for a while, and then learned that Huimin Pharmacy had appeared as early as the Song Dynasty, and now it has declined although it has spread all over the world. Originally, the Huimin Pharmacy was all government-run, but later the imperial court reduced the redundant officials, and the officials did not reduce much, but the Huimin Pharmacy was changed to a private private enterprise, so that the life of the pharmacy doctors and craftsmen was naturally no longer easy.

In addition to the Huimin Pharmacy, the policies on social welfare were set in the early Ming Dynasty, such as the city's solitary for the adoption of widows and orphans, and the people's cemetery and the Leaky Garden, most of which had already appeared in the Jiajing period.

These things were just complaints in the mouth of doctor Cheng Hongyuan, but in Chen Mu's ears, they were extremely harsh. No one knows better than him what happened to the Ming Dynasty, just as no one knows better than him the humiliation of China for more than three hundred years after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, he was a rational and bright black, and from time to time scolded the carpenter on the Internet for stepping on the crooked neck tree, and when he was reborn in this era, he had a disdain in his heart, look at the peasant army in the guard, look at the broken firearms that those military households are unwilling to use, the most hated thing by the soldiers is not the foreign enemy but the officials of the Ministry of Works, where can this matter be reasonable?

His small banner military household was still used as a henchman under Bai Yuanjie of 100 households, but for more than 20 mountain bandits who did not have firearms, they all dropped their weapons and fled. Zhang Yongshou's banner military household was even more unbearable, and there was even an accident in which he accidentally beat his comrades to death with a gun. If it is only understandable that there is a problem on the battlefield, the soldiers in the first battle are terrified, and he himself is nothing more than relying on firearms to strengthen his courage, and it is all up to luck to survive and obtain the head, but what about killing the good and risking the merit, killing the army and risking the merit, and buying and selling the head?

Chen Mu no longer wants to go to the Black Ming Dynasty, in his eyes, the Ming Dynasty is still very bad, but he can no longer rise to ridicule and contempt. In the past, he always thought that between the change of a dynasty, the blame could be put on one or several people, was the emperor incompetent, the civil servants mediocre, or the military attaché afraid of death? No, none of this is as straightforward as the four words 'the number of qi is about to run out'.

At this time, there were still about 100 years before the death of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Mu was outside the bustling Guangzhou Mansion in the largest metropolis south of Wuling, and what he heard in his ears was the noise and selling in the street market, but what he thought in his heart was that the military households of the Qingyuan Guard Station packed up farm tools from the fields and returned to the guard post listlessly to spend their empty days.

On the eve of the Zhongxing of the Empire, Chen Muli looked at everything coldly in the corner of the world, but only felt the darkness and coldness of despair, and the so-called Zhongxing is Xing or Chen Zhen's long-standing incurable body can't help the return of the tiger and wolf medicine?

Although history has already given a cold answer, Chen Mu wants to do something before all this happens, he wants to do something more than let himself live well.

Cheng Hongyuan gave the old man Zheng medicine and needles, and originally asked for 130 yuan for the consultation, but Chen Mu and the others did not exchange copper coins, so they simply cut off two coins of broken silver for him, which made the elderly doctor leave with gratitude, and said before leaving that if there is any need in the future, he can send someone to Huimin Pharmacy to find him, and he will come on call.

Isn't this just as bad as when the nurse said welcome to the hospital next time!

But on the contrary, Chen Mu felt that Cheng Hongyuan's crow's mouth was right, as a military household, they were inseparable from Jinchuang.

In the afternoon, Chen Mu planned to go out for a walk, so he asked Shi Qi and Fu Yuan to take turns to take care of Old Man Zheng, in addition to taking care of their spears and firearms, and went out to the market with Shao Tingda and Wei Balang, and had nothing to do. At this point, Shao Tingda and Wei Balang, like Chen Mu, are hillbillies who have never entered the city, and they feel fresh wherever they go.

What made Chen Mu feel the most amazing was that he actually saw a wealthy businessman wearing silk and a healthy servant accompanying him with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose!

If it weren't for his arrogant style and shouting entourage, he really wanted to ask where the eyes came from, could it be that there was already glass in the Ming Dynasty? But he had never seen glass-like glasses these days, not even Bai Yuanjie's Yamen of the Hundred Households.

This novelty made him feel like a cat scratching in his heart, and he was desperate to find out.

But after a while, Chen Mu was no longer anxious about this, there was a store in the market with white flags left and right in front of the door, with the book 'East and West Strange Things', and there was a person in the store who tried to put a pair of lenses on the bridge of his nose against the daylight, this is not sunglasses and what it is!

When Chen Mu entered the store, the store saw that it was three down-and-out military households, although they were not cold but not enthusiastic, but the price they asked made Chen Mu secretly smack his tongue. This is not glass glasses, the lenses are made of crystal, it is said that it is from the West, and a single pair of simple copper-framed glasses costs forty-three taels of silver, which directly persuaded Chen Mu to retire.

"Obediently, a pair of glasses costs fourteen people...... Chen Mu thought so, walked out of the store, raised his hand and patted the back of his head, stopping this hideous and terrifying thought. Since the killing of bandits in Heiling was sold to Zhang Yongshou, he felt that the weights and measures of money in his mind were becoming more and more like a barbarian, and any price had to be measured by human heads. But this little shame was thrown out of the sky by him in a blink of an eye, and he suddenly had an idea: 'Glass...... It's sand burning, right? ’

Two lenses are forty taels of silver, one lens is worth five taels of silver, no, a single lens is worth twenty taels of silver. If he could burn the glass out, wouldn't the money blow faster than the wind?

Soon, perhaps, he will no longer need to think of the head as a weight.

Chen Mu's brain turned fast, what made a fortune and hired a cook to stir-fry vegetables and fry two portions had been left behind by him, and he couldn't think of it, Chen Ye is now thinking about building a kiln to burn sand, digging soil and boiling nitrate, making a fortune and reaching the pinnacle of life! And then he didn't take a few steps and began to suffer from gains and losses, what if his secret brought him death? What if these secret methods leak out?

This made Chen Mu feel worried, until he looked down and saw the mandarin duck battle jacket on his body and the goose feather knife on his waist. Only at this time did he finally stop feeling that his identity as a military household was a burden, Qingyuanwei, although he really didn't look down on those peasant soldiers, but it was undeniable that the military household was his best protective color, giving him the power to blatantly cross the sword and hold the gun.

Qing Yuanwei, if he uses it well, can be well protected before he is not strong, protect him, and protect his 'little inventions'. Even if peers are watching, who else dares to go to the guard to steal the secret recipe?

Chen Xiaoqi didn't believe it at all, with this kind of pleasure that Shao Tingda and Wei Balang couldn't know, he walked to the horse market outside the city of Guangzhou Mansion step by step.

Note: Glasses - Zhao Xihu of the Southern Song Dynasty clan mentioned in "Dongtian Qinglu" that "the old man does not distinguish the book, so as to hide his eyes".

In the Jiajing period, the painter Qiu Ying's "Picture Scroll of the Scenery of the Southern Capital" shows the juggling team stepping on stilts and shaking the folding fan, and the actor wears glasses.
