105 Lead poisoning

At noon, he turned around from Li Ling and went to Mengfu's mansion, and since then, Yingzheng has never left, Mengwu even closed the door directly, refusing anyone to come to mourn, and then Zhao Gao urgently returned to the palace, called the imperial doctor Ling Xia Wuhe, and waited until late at night, and Wang Jia left Mengfu.

But after leaving the Mongolian Mansion, Ying Zheng did not return to the Qin Palace, but went to the Taifu Mansion again.

"The imperial physician ordered Xia Wu to meet the Taifu."

"What's wrong?"

I couldn't understand what kind of routine Ying Zheng was doing, Li Ling was at a loss.

"Just say it."

"Yes. Yu Taifu, today the king ordered his ministers to conduct an autopsy for General Meng. ”

"Autopsy? it? Hairy? ”

In such an era, the old man who lived for more than seventy years can be said to have lived a very long life, and Li Ling also asked others, Meng Fu's death was completely an accident, he didn't know what to eat and ate his stomach, and then he kept diarrhea, his steps were vain, and he fell into a coma when he went out, and finally died.

"After the post-mortem examination, it was found that the old general may have died of poisoning."

"I'm Nima, poisoned?"

This time Li Ling was really shocked, he never thought that the real cause of Meng Ling's death was poisoning.

"Xia Guan found that the old general's liver was swollen, and although he heard that the old general had severe diarrhea before he died, he still found black viscous feces in his body, which is indeed in line with the symptoms of poisoning, but what kind of poison it is, Xia Guan really can't find out."

"Master, you have to be careful, the old general was poisoned to death, and you were attacked by the man in black, I'm afraid that the people behind it have a big plan."

"Wait, poisoning, black feces, enlarged liver, strange, how do I feel as if I've heard about this somewhere."

Li Ling felt more and more familiar with these symptoms, but he thought about it, he couldn't have been exposed to this situation at all, and he didn't study medicine, how could he feel so familiar?

"The old general has always been very strong, and he doesn't have any bad habits, he shouldn't be, he eats more than me, his physique is stronger than me, except for drinking some wine... Drink? Drink! it! No way! ”

"What's wrong with the master?"

Seeing Li Ling talking to himself and startled, Ying Zheng hurriedly asked.

"Listen to me, from now on, you don't use any bronze utensils to drink, not only to drink, but also to eat and drink!"

"Why is that?"

Ying Zheng scratched his head, not understanding why Li Ling suddenly said this.

Since ancient times, the wine vessels have been cast in bronze, and drinking with bronze utensils is also a symbol of status, ordinary people are not allowed, but now Li Ling actually doesn't let it be used, and it was clear that the matter of Meng Fu's poisoning was discussed before, could it be that there is any connection between the two?

"This bronze itself is a heavy metal... Oops, forget it, you don't understand what I said, you just know it anyway. The old general did die of poisoning, but he was not deliberately poisoned, but died of an accident caused by lead poisoning. As for this lead poisoning, it is caused by drinking alcohol with bronze all year round, not to mention him, in fact, you and I also have this risk. ”

"Dare to ask Taifu, what is going on with this lead poisoning? What are the symptoms and is there any treatment? ”

Xia Wuhe is obviously different from what Li Ling and Ying Zheng care about, he is the imperial doctor, and now he has encountered a concept that he has never heard of, so he is naturally very concerned.

"Chronic lead poisoning, I can't do anything, the only thing I can do is to prevent it, find a way to find a substitute for bronze artifacts in daily life, as long as this is possible, lead poisoning can be effectively avoided."

"But you can't use pottery like civilians or even slaves, can you? If this is the case, won't other countries laugh off their big teeth? ”

Ying Zheng believed in Li Ling's words, but the problem at hand was that if bronze utensils were banned, the only thing that could be replaced was pottery, and iron utensils were too easy to rust and could not be used daily.

But let the princes and nobles use pottery, even if these people are willing, the six kingdoms of Shandong will definitely laugh wildly.

"Let them use this for the time being, jokes will be jokes, and saving lives is the first thing. When the time comes, wait until you dominate the six countries and see what else they are qualified to joke. As for alternatives, have you ever heard of glass? ”

"Glass? Master, you're talking about glass, right? When I was a child, I heard people talk about this kind of thing in Handan, but I haven't seen it, and my middle father should know about it. ”

"Oh, what about porcelain?"

As soon as he heard that he was going to ask Lu Buwei, Li Ling directly turned his head away, bypassed the topic, and turned his target to porcelain.

"Porcelain?"

"It's something like pottery, but it's harder and finer."

"I don't know."

Looking at Yingzheng's appearance, Li Ling couldn't help but be a little disappointed, because in his impression, it seems that porcelain did not appear much later than pottery, but it was the original porcelain, and the earliest celadon close to modern porcelain appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Let me put it this way, it's something like pottery, but the surface is smooth and hard, which is perfect for eating."

"This is easy to do, since it is similar to pottery, then I will find some craftsmen to give to the master, and let the master teach them how to do it."

"Well, I'm just going to tell you, I won't do it! Forget it, just do what you said, get me some people tomorrow, in... Let's get me a kiln factory in the east of the city, and I'll study it. ”

"Don't worry, master, I will arrange someone to do it as soon as I go back."

Lead poisoning can lead to death, this is a major event related to the fortunes of the country, I didn't know it before, but now that I know it, Yingzheng naturally doesn't dare to slack off.

It was late at night when he left from Li Ling's side, but Ying Zheng did not rush back to Qi Nian Palace to rest, but ran to Lu Buwei's mansion again.

The porcelain matter seems to be unsolvable for a while, so go to LĂź Buwei.

Li Ling is reluctant to see Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng can understand, but Ying Zheng is not afraid!

If you can get the glass, as long as the price is not too expensive, you can buy more and give it to the officials of the DPRK and China, and solve it for them yourself.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

In the middle of the night, he ran to call out to LĂź Buwei, who was sleeping, but came to the conclusion that Liuli was very rare, and LĂź Buwei had only heard of it all his life, but he had never seen what it was like.

In the end, there was no way, Yingzheng could only ask LĂź Buwei to find a way to get the glaze, and at the same time asked him to purchase some jade bowls and cups to temporarily replace the bronzes.
