In the cold winter, Guanzhong is full of snow, even Weishui has been frozen for several days, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan are icy and snowy, beautiful and frozen. The people have cotton and soil kang and are not afraid of the cold, and the literati climb Mount Hua with arrogance and chant the great snow scene, everything seems to confirm the word 'the years are quiet', but Yang Tong, the emperor, is not at ease, mainly because the snow in the sky is falling bigger, and it can be seen from the dense clouds that this snow will continue.

When he sent Sun Simiao out of the Manna Palace, he saw a thick layer of snow in the square in front of the hall, and more than 100 Shura guards were cleaning it.

Everyone is very busy now, almost all of them are working in their respective official offices, and Yang Tong rushed to the office as soon as he gave the order.

Everyone sat down, and Yang Tong said to the three major servants of Shangshu Province: "This year's heavy snowfall has been rare for many years, Weishui and Guangtong canals are all frozen, and most of the roads in Guanzhong are blocked. However, don't be careless, but also command the counties and counties in Guanzhong to try to clear the roads, if the heavy snow closes the road for too long, it will not only affect people's livelihood, but also delay the transportation of goods, so don't be careless. ”

"When the ministers learned about it, they returned to the official office and immediately dispatched officials to rush to the main roads to supervise the clearing of snow in each county."

"Be strict and don't slack off!" Yang Tong admonished, and said to Wei Zheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of the Imperial Department, and Pei Renji, the secretary of the Military Department: "I have today, and I am the enemy of the Great Sui and I am the enemy of the Great Sui Dynasty. If someone takes advantage of the disaster and suffering of the people to release Yinzi money, drink human blood, or even force Liang to become a prostitute and sell his children, he must regret that he was born in the Great Sui Dynasty. ”

The angry voice buzzed in the hall, shaking the hearts of everyone present, everyone felt that something was not quite right with the emperor, could it be that there was a guy who didn't have long eyes and touched the emperor's moldy head?

They all felt a moment of silence for these people.

Wei Zheng, Liu Zhenghui, and Pei Renji stood up and saluted: "Weichen obeys." ”

"Divine Doctor Sun Simiao has just left!" Yang Tong sighed, "He has contributed most of his life to medicine, on the one hand, he personally collected herbs and studied medicine. He carefully studied ancient medical books, collected folk prescriptions extensively, solved various incurable diseases, and accumulated a lot of valuable medical experience. From theory to practice, and then from practical experience, he extracted new medical research results, and wrote the medical book "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions". The point is that the medicine used in his prescription is available everywhere, and any common person can afford to eat the medicine on the prescription. ”

"This is a good thing, Holy Lord, and it should be printed in large quantities." When everyone heard the news, they couldn't help but cheer.

Yang Tong nodded and said: "Of course, I want to print a large number of "Qianjin Yao Fang", but I don't want it to spread outside the Great Sui in large quantities, so that the physical fitness of the Hu people can be improved, and even the life span can be extended, and the more Hu people are numbered and stronger, the greater the threat to my Great Sui." Everyone thinks about whether there is a way to get the best of both worlds. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't cry or laugh: it turned out that the emperor was emotional because of this, but the emperor's worries were not unreasonable.

Although Sun Simiao, who wrote "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", cultivated his character with virtue, cultivated himself with virtue, and cultivated himself with virtue and art, he went to the rescue wholeheartedly, did not seek fame and fortune, and spent his life pursuing Taoist medical ethics; In his eyes, there is only the difference between the severity of the disease, and there is no difference between "the rich and the poor, the young and the old, the relatives and friends, and the foolishness of Huayi", but these people in the world cannot be equal, and the interests of the Great Sui must be considered.

"Holy Lord, Weichen has a strategy, maybe he can achieve the best of both worlds." Just when everyone was using their brains, Fang Xuanling, who had the most flexible brain, spoke, he glanced at Yang Tong and said, "I don't know if it's okay." ”

"Don't be verbose, talk quickly." Yang Tong slapped the table and threatened: "If you sell Guanzi again, I will immediately reward you with a hundred beauties, everything from all races, do you believe it?" ”

"Believe in it... Wechen letter is it. Fang Xuanling snickered in the laughter of everyone, and said with a wry smile: "The Great Sui and foreign countries are closed to the mountains and are inconvenient, and all kinds of goods are circulated by merchants on both sides. ”

"My Great Sui businessmen all have industry licenses, businessmen regard it as their life, we can strictly control the policy, if my Great Sui businessmen take the "Thousand Golden Prescriptions" out of the country, the license will be withdrawn, and the heavy will be punished for treason; Although businessmen are very profitable, no matter how profitable a book is, it is far less than a luxury item, as long as the businessmen who travel to other countries are not stupid, they will not risk falling to the ground to sell "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions". ”

Fang Xuanling said: "The Hu people are easier to do, just because the whole world, except for my Great Sui, other countries do not have exquisite glazed handicrafts and exquisite silk ceramics; There is no wine heroic, and there is no soap and soap. Unless they don't want to make a lot of money with these unique goods, how can they not obey my Great Sui laws? But if they don't want to make a lot of money, why should they risk their lives and come to my Dasui from thousands of miles away? For these Hu businessmen who used their lives to make money in my Great Sui, what is a mere book compared to life and countless wealth? ”

Fang Xuanling's analysis was very reasonable, and everyone was amazed.

Yang Tong asked: "It makes sense, so what should we do?" ”

Fang Xuanling said gloomily: "Wei Chen suggested that the Holy Shang should ban the "Qi Min Yao Shu", "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Shennong's Materia Medica", "Zhujun Products and Customs", "Ouyu Tuzhi", "Zhuzhou Tujing", and the upcoming "Agricultural Code", "Da Sui Code", "Qianjin Yaofang", etc., etc., and so on. Ten volumes beheaded the leaders of the caravanserais, and confiscated their property. Life and wealth are the two lifeblood of human beings, so the threat of the two is that normal businessmen who just want to make a lot of money will not take risks, and for those with bad intentions, no matter how forbidden they are, after all, a book is too easy to hide. However, without the normal way of acquisition, the number of outflows will not have much impact on my Great Sui. ”

"Fang Shangshu's method makes people confused about which is more important, and many books have a mutual protection effect." Huangfu Wuyi praised.

"Holy!" Ling Jing arched his hand and said: "According to Weichen's understanding, white paper is in short supply in my Great Sui, but because of its high quality and low price, it has been purchased by Hu merchants, and after arriving at the destination, it is often sold at a price nearly 1,000 times higher; Because of the large profits, they often buy paper at several times or more than ten times the price of various distribution points, resulting in paper in short supply in our Dasui. Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that the saint impose a tariff on paper that is 10,000 times the selling price, and the merchant is not profitable, but loses money, so naturally he will not bring it to other countries,"

"Quasi-play."

"And tea!" Wei Yunqi put down the teacup in his hand with the fragrance of tea: "Nomads may resist the temptation of wealth, beauty and power, but it is difficult to resist the comfort brought by tea, because almost all the Hu people who eat meat all year round have indigestion, and diarrhea is like eating and sleeping for the grassland people, which is a chronic disease that everyone has." The tea soup has the effect of digesting food, digesting oil, and removing a variety of diseases caused by it, which also makes tea especially important in the grassland than in Dasui. ”

Tea has existed since ancient times, and as early as the Han Dynasty, some people made tea into tea paste. It's just that the process is complicated and very labor-intensive. And at that time, people had not yet mastered the technology of planting tea trees, so the tea yield was very low. A pound of tea paste requires at least ten pounds of tea to be boiled, so the common people can't afford to use tea paste, if there is a little rough old tea to entertain guests, it is a very decent thing.

In the two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the tea-making process has gradually become popular, and the art of "boiling tea" has gradually spread, and the tea tree has suddenly become popular, and it has also slowly spread to the surrounding Hu people at this time. When they discovered the benefits of tea, it immediately became a treasure sought after by the chieftains and royal families, and even became an indispensable necessity of life.

When Yang Dong's roasted tea became popular all over the world, the light and mellow roasted tea quickly swept the grassland. Of course, this was only circulated among the aristocracy, and ordinary herdsmen could never afford such expensive luxuries.

What's more important is that the output of roasted tea has still not been qualitatively improved, just like paper, even the supply of Dasui is far from enough, how can there be excess tea sold to the grassland Hu people? Even if some merchants get some roasted tea and tea leaves through various channels to transport to the grasslands, they are far from being able to meet the huge market needs. Therefore, the roasted tea has become a thing as precious as gold on the grassland, and the idlers have not even seen it when they drink it.

"Ling Shangshu!" Yang Tong instructed Ling Jing: "The Ministry of Commerce also included tea as a strategic material, and took it to trade with other races without authorization, which is the same crime as smuggling grain, pig iron and other illegal goods. Then the treatment plans for all kinds of books and papers were also listed one by one, and all these treatment plans were implemented immediately after the year, in addition to being announced in the next issue of "Great Sui Half Moon Talk", they were also issued in the world with official articles, and encouraged the whole people to supervise, and those who reported correctly were rewarded by the imperial court. ”

"Whoa."

"Everybody thinks about it. There are also any goods that are beneficial to the alien race, and I will never allow my Great Sui to make the alien people healthy and prolong their life. ”

"Holy!" Just when everyone was silently considering all kinds of goods, Wei Zheng suddenly stood up and saluted Yang Tong with a stern expression: "Weichen sued the Ministry of Commerce Shangshu Ling Jing for bending the law for personal gain, and he should be severely punished. ”

In an instant, the hall was as silent as death, and no one spoke again.

Everyone looked at Ling Jing in amazement and surprise.
