At that time, the State of Yan was at its peak. The country was wealthy and the soldiers were loyal to their country. The fact that Yan was listed in history books as one of the seven major powers in the Warring States Period was all thanks to the rule of King Zhao.
The year before Shen Yuelan and others arrived at the Warring States Period, that is, in 279 AD, was the year when King Zhao of Yan passed away. That was the most prosperous moment for the State of Yan, and the king and queen had sighed about it more than once.
[As long as King Zhi of Yan is not dead, Qi will never be able to recover. ]
Shen Yuelan carefully studied the kings of Yan State and found that in the more than 800 years since the establishment of Yan State, it seemed that there was only one wise king, King Zhao.
The Three Jin states were established too shortly and lasted no more than eight or nine generations, but each country still had a king who could be proud of. Wei had Marquis Wen, Han had Marquis Zhao, and Zhao had King Wuling.
The State of Qi also had wise kings such as Duke Heng (Jiang), King Wei (Tian), and King Xuan (Tian); the State of Chu had hegemons such as Wu, Wen, Zhuang, Hui, Dao, and Wei; and the State of Qin was even more powerful, with seven generations of heroic rulers continuing the legacy of six generations and unifying the six states in Shandong.
The King of Qin swept across the world, looking at the world with a tiger-like gaze! In comparison, the State of Yan was a bit miserable, and it could be said to be the least useful of the Seven Heroes.
Chapter 139 Operation Failed
But it was such a State of Yan that was able to win big with a small investment and almost destroyed the State of Qi. It must be said that King Min of Qi played a significant role in this.
Every time the queen thought of this, she would sigh and lament how she could have such a father-in-law. Of course, if this guy hadn't committed suicide, it wouldn't have been Tian Fazhang's turn to succeed the throne, and she would never have been able to take advantage of the opportunity and become the mother of a country.
The queen's rescue plan was simple. She wanted to gradually stuff her people into Yan's prison system through methods including but not limited to bribery, seduction, and threats, and then rescue Zou Yan from prison at the right time.
The plan went smoothly at the beginning because the new King of Yan had just ascended the throne and this man was too suspicious, which made the people of Yan State panic and worried about their future, so it was relatively easy to succeed.
However, as the new King of Yan began to reconcile with former elders such as Yue Yi, the political situation in Yan gradually stabilized, and the infiltration work became more difficult. The mistakes of some individuals even led to the collapse of the entire underground system of the King's wife.
The operation had only been going on for more than three months, and the queen had no one left to use. She had no choice but to make the next best option of publicizing the failed operation to show Qi's love for talent.
However, the next move of Yan State made the Queen's plan fail. Zou Yan was actually released by Yan State before Qi State publicized the matter.
The queen felt like a big fool, having lost both her wife and her army. She was now very autistic and would not go anywhere. She stayed in the shop of Shen Yuelan and others in Yan State all day long. She did not go back to Qi State, nor did she go shopping in Yan State.
Looking at the deeply shocked king in the room, Shen Yuelan, who was lying on the door crack, grinned. How could Shen Yuelan not know that Zou Yan would be released later? Of course she knew.
But Shen Yuelan just likes to see the queen being humiliated, and she has no obligation to remind her, even if this guy likes her. Tsk tsk, Shen Yuelan, Shen Yuelan, you are becoming more and more heartless now.
Shen Yuelan had tried to persuade the Queen before, but the more she persuaded her, the more the Queen became like a stubborn child, hiding herself in a corner and ignoring people. It was not until a piece of news came that this "problem child" was finally exposed.
[Ajun, don't stay in the house. Your husband has sent you a message. Something happened in Qi. Zhao sent troops to the east.]
As soon as Shen Yuelan finished her gloating tone, the queen with disheveled hair rushed out, anxiously packing up and leaving the State of Yan.
Shen Yuelan was quite speechless after watching this. This guy probably loves power the most. She didn't even ask her husband a single question.
Although the action planned by the Queen failed, she still gained the support of Zou Yan. After all, the new King of Yan made Zou Yan too sad, so he decided to return to his hometown for a while before making any further decisions.
In this way, the Queen could give an explanation to her husband.
Shen Yuelan did not accompany the king back to Qi. She had to stay in Yan for a while and make some preparations for her mission, such as establishing herself as a medical expert who could cure all diseases and had superb medical skills.
After her trip to the Jixia Academy, Shen Yuelan had actually realized long ago that the so-called Hundred Schools of Thought were not as mysterious and fascinating as she had imagined.
They are actually just a group of young people who are trying to stand out and realize their self-worth in a world of great strife, rather than the top heroes in anime.
However, this makes things much easier for Shen Yuelan. The scientific and technological knowledge she possesses is enough for her to play tricks in the Warring States Period.
The reason why she wanted to establish herself as a medical master was to lay the foundation for her image as a demigod decades later.
The appearance of her and Huanyan and others will not change easily. Her original plan to use the theory of Yin-Yang School to explain her idea of eternal youth was completely ruined after her trip to the Jixia Academy.
But she couldn't really live in seclusion in the mountains and ignore worldly affairs. After all, she needed to stay in human society and guide those who were lost in time and space. This was one of her obligations as a civil servant in the other world.
Then, he could only rely on myths and legends, but in the Warring States Period, all kinds of gods had fixed images, and his colleagues from the Mythology Management Bureau were watching him, so it would be difficult for him to do so.
Since I can't rely on those well-known mythological images, I can only create a new mythological legend myself. This little god doesn't need to be widely circulated, as long as he is famous in the Yan area.
She doesn't need to have great supernatural powers, as long as she can make achievements in saving lives and curing diseases. What Shen Yuelan needs to do now is to create a prototype for this god, an image of a female doctor that is widely circulated among the people of Yan State.
After several decades of fermentation and Shen Yuelan's secret promotion, the demigod image that Shen Yuelan needed, which was like a god and a human, was formed. It became much easier to act in the State of Yan afterwards. This is the same principle as the fairy Xuanlong created by Gan Yuelong in the Song Dynasty.
Of course, if that were all, it would not be enough for Shen Yuelan to stay in Yan State for a period of time. The more important point was that the Jiuli weapon that Si Ziqin had given her had shown unusual movements, and seemed to be showing a tendency to advance into a living being.
To be on the safe side, Shen Yuelan finally decided to stay in Yan State for a while and wait until she completed her advancement before making any other decisions. This move was not unexpectedly opposed by the Queen. If Shen Yuelan and others did not go back, she would not be able to eat delicious meals.
But how could Shen Yuelan's decision be shaken by the Queen's opposition? Shen Yuelan firmly told the Queen that she had important things to do in Yan State and could not accompany her back.
However, having said that, as the saying goes, a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man, under the queen's persistence, Shen Yuelan had to send Qin Ruishi, who had learned cooking from Shen Huanyan for a period of time, to return to Qi with her.
The Qin warrior was named Yili Ji. It was said that his ancestor was related to Yi Yin. He was very talented in cooking, so he often helped Shen Huanyan. In the end, he also learned some dishes.
This time, we can send him out and place him in the King of Qi's palace to investigate the secrets there.
After the Queen successfully got a chef, she tactfully left the State of Yan. Since she had solved her food problem, it was not necessary for Shen Yuelan to stay by her side.
Since Shen Yuelan has things to do in Yan State, let her go. At worst, I can come back and take her back after I finish dealing with the affairs of Qi State.
Shen Yuelan looked at the queen who was leaving, and her guess was once again confirmed. In the queen's heart, everything had to give way to the State of Qi. Love and marriage were just tools to achieve her goals.
Whether it was her husband or herself, it was just a show. The person the queen really married was not the so-called King of Qi, but the entire State of Qi.
I was actually deceived by her acting skills before, and thought that she was the kind of person who loved power more than beauty. Tsk, it seems that I was really too arrogant before.
How could a woman who ruled Qi for more than 30 years in history easily indulge in love? Perhaps the only thing that could make her fall in love with someone else is a more powerful empire.
Chapter 140 Liaodong Hai Village
After sending that ruthless woman away, Shen Yuelan began to implement her plan. Shen Huanyan was left in the store to guard the Jiuli weapon, while Su Xin and Su Yi followed her in the countryside to practice medicine.
Among the famous doctors in the Warring States Period, the most famous is the genius doctor Bian Que. Bian Que's real name was Qin Yueren. He was called Bian Que because he cured Zhao Jianzi's illness that had kept him unconscious for five days, and was awarded the land in Pengque Mountain by Zhao Jianzi.
Also, because there was a natural stone magpie image that looked like it was about to fly on Pengque Mountain, the people of Zhao regarded Qin Yueren as the incarnation of auspicious magpie and respectfully called him "Bian Que", that is, "the one in Zhao was named Bian Que".
The more Shen Yuelan studied pharmacology, the more she felt sorry for Bian Que's death. Bian Que was an expert in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, and ENT, and used acupuncture, massage, decoctions, hot ironing and other methods to treat diseases.
If Bian Que had not been assassinated by Li Xi, the imperial physician of Qin State, he might have achieved greater success. It can only be said that God is jealous of talented people and people’s hearts have changed.
The identity Shen Yuelan has now declared to the public is that he is a disciple of a certain branch of Bian Que. Following the orders of his master, he is curing illnesses and saving lives in the territory of Yan State. Bian Que has only been dead for more than 30 years, so his name is still very useful among the common people.
The common people did not look down on Shen Yuelan because of her young appearance. In fact, Shen Yuelan was still very popular among these common people and was treated with great courtesy.
After all, there are people like Shen Yuelan who are willing to practice medicine for civilians, but it is rare to find someone who does not charge any fees. Therefore, the growth rate of Shen Yuelan's reputation among the people of Yan State is much faster than she imagined.
Shen Yuelan is currently practicing medicine in the Liaodong area, which was newly opened up by the Yan State in recent years. In addition to the immigrants from Yan State who migrated from their native land, there are also some indigenous people of the Donghu tribe and people who migrated westward from Jizi Korea.
Although the ethnic composition of the residents here is complex, this does not affect the daily life of the local people. After all, there was no concept of ethnicity at that time. As long as there was enough food, they still welcomed the addition of new labor.
So when Shen Yuelan arrived here, what she saw was a harmonious picture of men farming and women weaving, and most of them were Donghu people.
However, although they are called Donghu people, they actually look no different from the Zhou people in the Central Plains. To put it bluntly, most of these so-called Hu people are actually marginal regimes established by the remnants of the Yu, Xia, Shang and other dynasties.
Just like Jizi Joseon on the Korean Peninsula, it was the regime established by Jizi, the uncle of Emperor Xin (King Zhou of Shang), on the Korean Peninsula after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty. It was known in history as the Jizi Dynasty or the [Yin Jizi Dynasty].
Shen Yuelan is now staying in a small fishing village near the sea, treating the illnesses and injuries of the local people. The location is probably near Dalian in later generations.
The seafood here tastes quite good, at least much fresher than seafood in later generations, and there is no need to worry about nuclear waste water or anything.
Although productivity has limited the fishermen to hunt near the coast, the Liaodong region is vast and sparsely populated with abundant natural resources, so the residents here have more opportunities to eat meat than inland people.
[Suyi, hurry up, catch that big turtle, don't let it run away, we'll have a barbecued turtle as an extra treat tonight!]
[I know, I know, I'm grabbing it, wow, this looks delicious. ]
Shen Yuelan is now hunting on the beach with the Suyi sisters. Although the villagers usually give them some food, it is still not enough to feed the three of them.
Therefore, even if they were just pretending, the three of them would take a stroll to the beach regularly and bring back some fresh ingredients.
Although Shen Huanyan is not around, Shen Yuelan believes that her cooking skills are pretty good. Even if her cooking skills are not as good as Shen Huanyan's, the fresh ingredients can make up for this shortcoming.
【Wuhu, turtle soup, turtle eggs, and turtle barbecue! 】
[Alan, come quickly, there are still many crabs and abalones in the cracks of the rocks over here! ]
[Take it away! Take it away! Take it all away. What’s going on today? There are so many seafood. We can have a seafood banquet tonight!]
【Wuhu! 】
【Wuhu! !】
Just as Shen Yuelan and others were happily collecting fresh ingredients, a thin figure was suddenly washed onto the beach by the waves.
Shen Yuelan, who was picking up seashells, spotted the unconscious little girl lying on the beach. She went up to the little girl, turned her over and checked on her condition.
After pushing the hair away from the little girl's face, Shen Yuelan discovered that she knew this little girl.
The little girl was a Donghu person. She lost her parents in the war between the State of Yan and the Hu a few years ago. She had no choice but to wander around. Later, she was taken in by local villagers and found a shelter in this small fishing village.
She usually makes a living by catching some clams and collecting pearls in the near sea. This business seems to be easy to make money, but it is not.
When the ancients went into the sea, they did not have any effective protective measures. They only tied ropes around their bodies and dived into the deeper sea. They used special tools to pry the pearls off the rocks on the seabed, then climbed back to the boat along the ropes and brought the pearls back to the surface.
During this process, the ropes on their bodies may be entangled by seaweed and rocks, and they may also be attacked by sharks and other carnivorous fish. Every time they go into the sea is a gamble of life and death.
Even so, the little girl might not be able to catch a clam with pearls even if she went to the sea ten times, so her life was quite difficult.
Shen Yuelan had checked her eyes when she first came here. People who dive frequently will suffer from decreased vision due to water pressure and water quality, and the little girl is no exception.
Although Shen Yuelan found some herbs to relieve her symptoms, if she continued to make a living on this, even if Bian Que were alive, he would not be able to save her eyes.
Of course, if she hadn't met Shen Yuelan today, she might not have lived to see that day.
After checking, Shen Yuelan found that the little girl was lucky. She was successfully washed up by the sea water before drowning. Now as long as her breathing was restored, she would survive.
Although Shen Yuelan was unfamiliar with the first aid compression set, she still knew how to follow the instructions. She quickly pressed the little girl's chest and performed artificial respiration on her.
The treatment was very effective. After a while, the little girl woke up. The first thing she saw after waking up was the beautiful big sister who came to the village some time ago, kissing her lips.
People with first aid knowledge knew that Shen Yuelan was saving people, but the little girl had no idea. She had already woken up, but was kissed unconscious by Shen Yuelan.
Well, I was so embarrassed.
[Hiss, what's going on? I did nothing wrong. I followed the first aid instructions. Why hasn't he woken up yet? ]
[Ah, the little girl is breathing. When did this happen? Never mind. Let’s take her back first.]
[Suxin! Suyi! Come and help, someone is drowning! ]
Chapter 141: Involuntarily
The little girl woke up again in a strange thatched hut. She rubbed her eyes and looked around carefully. Suddenly she remembered that this was the doctor's house where she had been before.
The little girl was named Aluan. She was originally the daughter of the local Donghu leader. After her father was defeated and killed in battle, she ended up here.
The reason why she almost drowned was that when she went to the sea yesterday, she found a clam that was very likely to contain Sui pearls. When she wanted to salvage it, she encountered turbulence there and was instantly knocked unconscious by the surging water. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
Fortunately, he met Shen Yuelan later and successfully saved his life.
But now she has not only lost the fishing boat on which she depends for her livelihood, but also lost her tools for catching clams. She really doesn't know how she is going to live the rest of her life.
Shen Yuelan also noticed this. She knew very well how a young poor woman would make a living after losing her job.
Therefore, Shen Yuelan hopes to help her find a suitable job rather than let her fall into the abyss. It is not Shen Yuelan's hobby to drag decent women into the abyss.
Shen Yuelan looked down at the herbs in her hand and thought for a long time. It might be a good idea to let her practice medicine here. After she left, there would be no more doctors here. Teaching her would be the best of both worlds.
【Aluan, how are you?】
The little girl named A Luan froze when she heard the voice. How could she forget what Shen Yuelan knew and did to her before she fell into a coma? Therefore, when Shen Yuelan came in to ask about her condition, A Luan timidly asked Shen Yuelan a question in return.
[Um...doctor sister, will you be responsible for A-Luan? ]
【ha? 】
Shen Yuelan was confused. What's going on? Why should I be responsible for you? I haven't done anything well. Don't accuse me like this.
[Um, what are you talking about? What does being responsible for you mean? ]
[You...how can you not admit it? I clearly remember you kissing A-Luan on the beach. Does A-Luan have to say it on her own initiative?]
Shen Yuelan was speechless when she heard this. The little girl kept thinking about useless things all day long. I was saving your life. Do you know any first aid knowledge? Ah, she didn't understand.
[Ah, that A-Luan, I was saving your life. If you want to save a drowning person, you have to do that.]
Ah Luan was immediately disappointed when she heard that. She knew that she had taken it for granted. How could that high and mighty female doctor be willing to show favor to a poor orphan like her?
Ah, yes, he saved my life, so I have to repay him. But now, what can I do to repay such a great kindness?
Alas, this is the only life left.
[Sister Doctor, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I have no way to repay your kindness. If you don't mind, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life. I will work like a slave for you.]
[Haha, there's no need to be such a slave. I didn't save you for anything in return.]
[However, if you lose your fishing boat and have no one to rely on, you can come to me to be an apprentice. Although I am not rich, I can provide you with food and shelter before you become an apprentice. It is not a big problem.]
Alua was very surprised when she heard that, and she accepted Shen Yuelan's invitation without hesitation. In this era, the relationship between master and apprentice was closer than in later generations, and could basically be regarded as a father-son relationship.
Shen Yuelan’s invitation was of great significance to Alua, as it meant that she had been accepted by a new family.
Although Shen Yuelan didn't think so much, she did want to teach Aluan well. Shen Yuelan planned to use about five years to teach Aluan all the medical knowledge and help him become a successful apprentice.
