Chapter 173: Leaving Sun Simiao
Once, when I was very poor, I ate the pork of the so-called "running pen" pig, which was actually a boar that had not been castrated. That smell seemed to be engraved in the nucleus of the cell, which still makes Li Chengqian disgusted.
I was thinking of making some pork-based food, but because I couldn't subdue the taste, I had to give up.
Now that he has opened his own farm, what he didn't say is naturally to have the final say.
Although it is a luxury to eat pork less than a year old, for the sake of his own mouth, Li Chengqian can only do such a wasteful thing.
Entering the dining room of the East Palace, Li Shimin was very curious about the huge round table, especially the turntable on it. After a casual turn, he understood the purpose of this thing.
"I have long heard Qingque say that eating here is not a separate meal, and the four of you master and apprentice gather to eat together, which is particularly delicious. And in the canteen of Chongwen Pavilion, there is a group of hungry ghosts who are grabbing food, and the food is even more enjoyable. I heard that all kinds of food in the East Palace were made by yourself, and Qingque also said that I have seen you add all kinds of things to the pot to taste the taste. Tell me, what's going on? Why are you scratching so your mouth? ”
Of course, Li Chengqian can't say that he has already taken advantage of the characteristics of his profession in later generations to eat all over every corner of the area, and his mouth has been raised by thieves.
Arching his hand, Li Chengqian pretended to be ashamed and said: "Erchen also knows that this move is inappropriate, but no matter how he eats, he feels that it is not tasteful." What tastes delicious today may taste like chewing wax tomorrow. After looking for Sun Daochang, he only said that it was a problem with the spleen, and even if he took medicine, it would not be effective. ”
"That's right."
Hearing a child say that he is sick, parents should be anxious. But Li Shimin was not anxious, but looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
The Li family itself has wind diseases, and the Emperor Taishang has it, and he used to think it was nothing, but in the past two years, he occasionally had headaches. As for the queen, there is also a wind disease. I heard the imperial doctor say that this disease itself will infect future generations, and if you want to solve it, you can only find a woman who has no wind disease to marry, and from generation to generation, this evil disease that haunts the Li family blood can disappear.
The kid in front of him, without thinking about it, will definitely be like him in the future. Thinking of this, Li Shimin's heart was full of guilt.
However, this guilt was blown away by the aroma when the first dish was served in the kitchen.
"What is this?"
Looking at the round things on the plate, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
"Back to my father, this is just meatballs, but the retainer tried to add tofu to the meat filling, and then add green onions, ginger and garlic to make it. During this time, you eat bran with the people, and your body is bad, so you might as well eat more. ”
The personal eunuch named Zhang Yun picked up the chopsticks with a straight face, and was very rude to try the vegetables, but was pushed aside by Li Shimin.
Pick up a large ball with chopsticks, and after trying the temperature with a small piece, you will chew it without hesitation.
A huge meatball went down, Li Shimin wiped his oily mouth, nodded and praised: "This dish tastes good, go back and let the chef of your East Palace teach it to the imperial dining room." ”
Li Chengqian naturally nodded, but in order not to be complained, he still said: "Father Rongyu, in fact, this dish is based on pork." ”
"Pork?"
Although Li Shimin was surprised, he did not take it to heart.
There were still two meatballs left on the plate, and after glancing at Zhang Yun behind him, Li Shimin ordered: "Find a food box and send this dish to the queen!" ”
It's really love, Li Chengqian said in his heart.
When eating delicious food, the emperor's father has to send a copy to the queen's wife as soon as possible. It's just that you also have to consider that people are in confinement, how can you eat so greasy?
Stretching out his hand to stop Zhang Yun, Li Chengqian arched his hand and said: "No need, father, in fact, the three meals from the queen mother are all sent over after the East Palace kitchen is ready." After the mother gave birth, although the son could not come back because of the retreat and research, he did not dare to slack off. ”
Li Shimin glanced back at Zhang Yun.
"Back to Your Majesty, what the prince said is true. The three meals a day after the queen gave birth were all sent by the East Palace. Because of this, the queen was very happy. ”
only to find that Zhang Yun's voice was actually very deep, and there was no feminine feeling of a eunuch at all.
After learning from Niu Jinda and Li Jing for a long time, Li Chengqian also learned to see how a person's martial arts are.
As long as you look at this guy's position, and then look at his body that has always been vigilant, you can know that this guy's martial arts are not low.
Come to think of it, a person who is ready to block the emperor's gun at any time can't be too weak in martial arts.
Since there was no need to send it to the queen, Li Shimin stopped drooling, picked up another ball, and ate it after a while.
Li Chengqian only ate a small ball with him, and as for the ball that was obviously tried on it, Li Shimin didn't move from beginning to end.
Seeing the prince's inquiring look, Li Shimin said: "Round things, the most taboo is to have defects, what about dishes, you won't just use a dish to entertain me." ”
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Naturally, there is not only one, but you are in a hurry today, and the kitchen is not prepared." Even though the staff has been called from the imperial dining room, it will still be much slower. ”
As soon as the words fell, the second course was served.
Pork ribs stewed beans, because there is no soy sauce or anything, braised pork ribs are temporarily unavailable, so for pork ribs, Li Chengqian can only use the most ordinary way to eat.
Pig's head meat, button meat, cold pork ears....
One dish after another came up, but they were all eaten by the emperor.
Only then did Li Chengqian discover that although the words "one bucket of rice and ten catties of meat" had an element of boasting, there was still some truth in it. Although the portions of these dishes are not large, they can add up to fill two or three strong men.
However, when it came to Li Shimin, it all went into his stomach.
After eating another bowl of rice and using a pot of spirits to flush all the food into my stomach. Li Shimin looked at the wine jug in his hand, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Spirits, the caravan of the grassland, some things that will be used as prisoners, stinky boy, I just found out that you don't lack money in the East Palace!"
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "Naturally, there is a lot of money to earn, but if you go to Weishui to see the site of the college, you will know that Erchen's money is still not enough to spend." In the morning, we said okay, you are full of words, Chrysostom and Yuyu, you can't be fooled! ”
finally encountered a golden thigh, and Li Chengqian didn't want to let go easily.
According to the original estimate, the first phase of the college will only build teaching buildings, dormitory buildings, office buildings and playgrounds, and Lao Yao's branch will have to be built slowly in the following time.
But if it is to pull the supply to the inner government, let alone the School of History, even the School of Engineering can be built directly, I don't know how much time it can save. Anyway, it's the family's money, why are you embarrassed to spend it?
Li Shimin originally wanted to say that he would revoke the agreement on the supply of the inner government, but he was blocked by Li Chengqian's two four-character idioms.
I don't know if it's because of the drink, or because of something else, my face is a little red.
Patting his stomach, Li Shimin said with satisfaction: "I enjoyed eating today, remember to let your cook go to the imperial dining room." ”
Leaving this sentence, the emperor who was full of wine and food waved his sleeves and drove back to the palace.
Li Chengqian, who instructed the palace maid to remove the remnants of the banquet and put down a burden in his heart, returned to the construction site on the bank of the Weishui River after greeting the old gentleman.
Yan Liben is basically gray these days, not because he is in a bad mood, but because he is covered with lime cement.
Seeing that he coughed lightly when he was fine, Li Chengqian couldn't help but kick out.
"Bastard, didn't Lone tell you that you want to make labor protection equipment, and you prepared a pair of thick bast shoes for the workers? You must know that whether it is lime or cement, the most fatal thing is not the burns on the skin, but the dust in the air. If you inhale these things into your lungs, you will get pneumoconiosis after a long time, and your lungs will gradually become fibrotic. You don't know what fibrosis means, but if you think about it, the lungs that were originally soft and tender have become something as hard as wood because of this disease, and people always feel that they don't have enough qi, and finally they suffocate to death. Who wants to get this disease? ”
Every time he said a word, Li Chengqian would kick Yan Liben. Xiao Yan is an honest man, and he doesn't hide, he waits for the prince to be angry enough, and then swears that he will do what the prince says.
After Li Chengqian kicked Yan Liben away, Sun Simiao, who had nothing to do, came up.
"Your Highness, what you just said about pneumoconiosis, can you talk to Lao Dao in detail? Lao Dao also treated merchants who traveled to the Western Regions in his early years, and their symptoms were very similar to the pneumoconiosis mentioned by His Royal Highness. Lao Dao tried a lot of drug formulas, but they didn't make him feel any relief. ”
Seeing Sun Simiao coming up, Li Chengqian almost fled.
This locust plague finally took him away, and finally he didn't have to draw a picture to study people's blood and muscles like two mad demons. I didn't expect to run into it again today.
"I only read in that medical book that there is no cure for pneumoconiosis, only some complications can be treated, so that the patient can feel better. Some people may be able to recover slowly, but it is impossible to say that they will recover completely. ”
Hearing Li Chengqian say this, Sun Simiao couldn't help but sigh.
He has practiced medicine for many years, and he understands the fragility of life best. Even the most common wound inflammation has a high chance of killing a man. There are many diseases, and there is no way to treat them, and they can only be slightly relieved.
Ever since he tried his best to watch a teenager die in a fever, he was determined to look at the world's medical skills and overcome more diseases in his lifetime.
Locust plagues are always accompanied by plagues, which are indicated in medical techniques.
He was originally very nervous, but after discussing with Li Chengqian, he took the Taoist priests of Laojunguan to travel around Chang'an, and even wrote letters to various state capitals about the history of assassination. Forbidden to eat locusts, live as far as possible in crowded places, feces and urine and other filth must be covered, if there are sick people, they should be isolated and observed, except for the doctor, outsiders can not approach....
These seemingly ordinary methods of dealing with them did not expect to be effective. So far, there has been no news of the epidemic at all.
Seeing the miracle of these ordinary means in preventing the plague, I even had more confidence in Li Chengqian's other statements.
"Your Highness, Lao Dao sees that you don't have much to do now, why don't you two find a place to sit down, make a pot of tea, and continue to talk about medical skills?"
It's hard to imagine that a flattering look would appear on Sun Simiao's face.
Thinking about the matter of cement, Li Chengqian still decisively rejected the invitation of Lao Dao.
"Daochang Sun, you are wrong, the kid is really in trouble, you have to leave immediately. But if you're interested, why don't you settle down in our college? Mr. Yao Silian plans to set up a school of history and personally train some historians. Yan Liben and other master craftsmen wanted to establish an engineering school and lead the craftsmen to study the improvement of equipment together.
Since you are determined to overcome the world's incurable diseases, it is better to stay here, establish a medical school, pass on your medical skills by the way, and teach a few proud disciples so that you can inherit your long-cherished wish. How is it? ”
Standing on the ground in front of the academy, Li Chengqian immediately had an idea.
The reason why so much essence of Chinese medicine has been lost is because of the contempt for practitioners in all dynasties. Although the imperial court has such an institution as the Imperial Medical Department, it is difficult for the old guys in it to even find a successor, let alone carry it forward.
At a time when the average age is extremely low, wars and disasters are one of the reasons, but the more important reason is the backwardness of medical care.
Later, the parents of the elderly in their 70s had early-stage tumors, and after being hospitalized and cut off, they may be able to live to be 90 years old. But in this era when wind and cold are terminal diseases, it is not uncommon for life expectancy to be low.
Seeing that Lao Sun had a tendency to be moved, Li Chengqian hurriedly added: "Don't worry, no matter what branch there is in the academy, the cost will be borne by the East Palace. If I were to host a charity meeting or two and collect some donations, you would not be a problem even if you went to the disaster area to distribute medicinal herbs. ”
Hearing this, Sun Simiao finally sighed and said, "In this case, I'll stay with the old way!" It's just that although a doctor is not a cheap job, it is not much different from a cheap job, will it be ridiculed to build a medical school in your college? ”
Li Chengqian immediately shook his head like a rattle.
Jokes, who dares to laugh at Sun Simiao? Don't want your life?
As he wandered around the construction site these days, he realized that the title of "King of Medicine" was really well deserved. Lao Sun's footsteps can really be called stepping all over the land of Guanzhong. Walking around the construction site with Lao Sun, from time to time someone would put down the work in their hands, jump out and kneel on the ground, or thank him for saving his life, or thank him for saving his mother and father. Fastest update... / .. /
The bastards in the court who were extraordinarily sharp-tongued, even if they ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, they didn't dare to say a bad word to Lao Sun. Speaking ill of him can be much worse than impeaching the emperor.
At this point, Sun Simiao was relieved and continued to distribute Qingwen powder with his medicine basket on his back.
Manpower is sometimes exhausted, especially after experiencing several disasters, Lao Sun's understanding of this sentence is even deeper.
With him collecting medicine alone, how many people can he treat?
The locust plague that swept through Guanzhong this time, without Lao Junguan's full help, even if he had an idea, he would not be able to implement it.
Li Chengqian's every sentence can be said to be in his heart.
got rid of Lao Sun and added a new discipline to the college, which made Li Chengqian very happy. Therefore, even if he saw that Yan Liben's newly established cement workshop was leaking from all sides, within a few days, it had already made the surroundings smoky, and he was not angry, but asked him to wash all the leaves dyed gray.
Looking at the gray leaves everywhere in the valley, Yan Liben quickly admitted his mistake, he didn't think he could complete this job.
Pointing to the heavily polluted valley, Li Chengqian said to Yan Liben: "The development of industry will inevitably bring pollution. Although our cement workshop is destined to make a fortune, if it gives a bad start to those who open similar industries in the future, causing everyone to let the dust drift and discharge wastewater into the rivers, lakes and seas, you and I will be blamed even if we are underground.
Tomorrow get more inferior linen cloth to cover the workshop and reduce the spread of dust as much as possible. In the future, no matter what workshop Gu wants to set up, he must put profit in the second place, and put environmental protection, that is, not polluting the environment, in the first place. ”
Yan Liben nodded repeatedly.
Looking at Yan Liben, who kept falling dust as he nodded, a trace of anger in Li Chengqian's heart disappeared without a trace.
Although the cement workshop now looks like a black-hearted workshop in later generations, Yan Liben is still doing well. At least, he was covered in dust, just like the workers here.
Standing on tiptoe to help Yan Liben dust off the soil on his shoulder, Li Chengqian waved his hand to let Yu Tai and the others avoid it, leaving a space to speak.
"Yan Qing, tomorrow, you don't want to produce cement with the workers, take some samples back to Chang'an, and present them to the court. As long as you demonstrate the use of cement in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, I believe this move will give the craftsman a long face. ”
Yan Liben took off his mask and said suspiciously: "Your Highness, even if Your Majesty and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs have seen the magic of cement, it is you who have a long face, how can you be a craftsman?" ”
"Stupid, you haven't understood yet? Lone means that you have to tell the court that this thing was researched by you with the craftsmen on the construction site. If your father gives you a title, wealth, or something, you will take it. ”
"How can this be! Isn't this called Weichen stealing His Highness's name! ”
Yan Liben's voice immediately raised an octave, and the two sleeves stained with cement dust shook again and again, choking Li Chengqian to avoid it.
Covering his mouth and nose, Li Chengqian said angrily: "Do you know, Gu has already said that the emperor will allow you to enter the academy with the craftsmen who have been approved by the Ministry of Works. Although it didn't achieve its real goal, it was better than nothing. The father said that he waited for the craftsman to create a surprise for him. Without one or two amazing achievements, how can you bring face to the artisan community?
Take 10,000 steps back, you offer it and you sacrifice it, those are two different things. Lone is the prince, no matter what merits he has established, he should be praised, and he will be praised and praised at most. Even the father and emperor are difficult to give any material rewards. You're different, if you offer it, hey, hey, cement is so versatile, how can you be a baron! ”
