Chapter 850: A Thousand Daughters
The navigation is related to the lives of the 5,000 soldiers and crew members who are about to go to sea, but for Yang Tong, who is the emperor, it is only one of many major events, and the only thing that can be done is to give them the best in all kinds of navigation materials.
Properly arranged, and devote himself to the tense and orderly busyness, every day in the reception of the county guards who came to report on their work, understand the situation of the counties, listen to their plans for the coming year, and the important ministers of the court repeatedly scrutinized the construction plans and plans submitted by the county guards, in addition to asking about the snow conditions in various parts of the north every day, in the past every year under the cold winter Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Liaodong and other places have many people frozen to death, but with the popularization of cotton and cotton clothing, there have been some changes in these years.
In addition, with the coal mines in Zhangye, Lingwu, Yanmen and other places under the perennial mining of more than 100,000 slaves, as early as before the river froze, through the waterway to Yongliang and other places, plus the method of making the kang has been popularized among the people, so although this winter is cold, there is no large-scale freezing to death, the situation that every heavy snow must be starved everywhere and corpses everywhere has disappeared for several years, and occasionally there are a few cases, which are also within the acceptable normal range.
Because of this, Yang Dong, who popularized cotton planting and soil kang technology among the people, has become increasingly famous in the northern land, and his cohesion and dominance have risen to an unprecedented height.
The people are so real, as long as you can let everyone live a good life, everyone will support you, although the name Yang Dong is still mixed in the southern Shilin that has not been recovered for a long time, but in Jizhou, Youzhou, Liaodong, Bingzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, these long-ruled northern lands, the voice of opposition to him has long been extinct, if someone dares to abuse Yang Tong in these places, then don't blame the people for beating you up, and don't blame the local officials for not care.
More importantly, with the restoration of stability in the north, under the governance of Yang Dong more and more prosperous, the Yongliang people who fled to Yizhou because of the war began to return, and brought back many Yizhou people who were afraid of the war, only Li Yuan fled back to Chengdu within a short period of time, there are more than 20,000 Yizhou people do not have confidence in the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, have fled to the Hanzhong area, under the planning of Yang Yu, who is in charge of the displaced people, these people have moved to Jiangyuan and Heyuan to settle down. As for where to settle down, they didn't really care, not to mention that the imperial court also promised them a three-year tax reduction, which was already extraordinarily generous.
According to Yang Yu's prediction, as long as Li Yuan's father and son do not stop them, more Yizhou people will go north in the future. In addition, the Silk Road was reopened, and the Hu merchants who traveled between the Great Sui and the Western Regions also drove many displaced people from the Western Regions to migrate to the Great Sui and became the people of the Great Sui.
The people now everyone has land and land, but also because of the promotion of the plough and the cart, as long as you work hard, food and clothing will not become a problem, and with the smooth flow of the Silk Road, it has led to the development of the local economy, so that the people have a surplus year after year, and the days are gradually getting better. In addition, the foundation was well laid, and the officials appointed by the imperial court were also practical officials, and when the heavy snow came, officials and officials from all over the country went out one after another to help repair and strengthen the houses, and provide shelter and food for the affected people.
The people raised their foreheads to celebrate, and in this prosperous era of the Ming monarchy, there were such pragmatic officials, how could it be so fortunate?
After selling short, first go to the clothing store to buy a new clothes for the child, and then go to the pen store to buy some pen, ink and paper for the child, and then go to the cloth shop to pull a few zhang of cloth, and then go to the meat shop to cut some meat......
On the contrary, those idle literati took advantage of the heavy snow to form groups to go out of the city, or to the end of the South Temple, Huashan Taoist Temple chanting Meixue; Or live in the Lishan folk house, with the history of Lishan to reflect the current prosperity, for a time there are many poems published, making this Guan Chinese altar extremely active in this cold winter.
It's just that at this time, there are always people who bring out the poems and articles of Yang Guang and Yang Dong to taste, which often makes those scribes who write excellent works full of depression.
It's a desperate comparison......
Yang Guang and Yang Tong's articles and poems are also top good without others patting them, especially Yang Tong is even better, just don't write it, but if there are poems and chapters, it must be a classic, and what is even more unaffordable is that he writes well, but it is also rich in genres and many poetic styles.
It is a blessing for literati to be born in the same era as Yang Tong, because they were born in the era when countless masterpieces were born; It is also the greatest misfortune of the literati, because when everyone is still exploring at the foot of the mountain, nostalgic poems, poetry of songs, poems of sidelines, farewell poems, travel poems, love poems, landscape idylls and various imagery are all written by him to an unattainable peak; Even the resentful woman's poem was harmed by him, whose resentful poem won "Grievance"?
The despair of the literati of the Great Sui, Yang Tong didn't know, and he didn't care if he knew, it was just an occasional export or a joke to coax his wife. It is his main business to let the people of the Great Sui live a good life, have a cure for their illness, and have books to read.
At this time, he took time out of his busy schedule to meet the divine doctor Sun Simiao in the Ganlu Palace.
After the meeting, Sun Simiao presented a thick stack of paper to Yang Tong.
"What is this?"
Sun Simiao was born in the seventh year of the Great Unification of the Western Wei Dynasty, and has lived in troubled times for most of his life. He believed that using his limited energy to develop one more potion, screening one prescription, and dragging one more patient back from the hands of Lord Yama was an unparalleled achievement. A prescription that can save lives is the true meaning of life, the heart of power and utilitarianism has long faded for decades, although he has the name of a bachelor's degree in medical school, but in order to make his medical skills go further, he has been walking the world for most of the year, observing all kinds of incurable diseases, Yang Tong has known him for so many years, and it is the first time to see him sparse, I feel a little strange.
"Holy Lord, this is a variety of prescriptions collected by most of his life, including prescriptions for regulating qi and blood, secret prescriptions for treating typhoid fever, and some prescriptions obtained from ancient books, sorted out and summarized after trying, and supplemented, deleted and modified according to decades of medical experience."
"Oh?" Yang Tong hurriedly looked down, and the first piece of paper had a few elegant and neat '"Prepare for Emergencies".
""Prepare for Emergencies"?"
Seeing these words, Yang Tong's heart suddenly beat faster, is this the "Thousand Golden Fang" that has been famous for centuries and has been famous in history?
"Exactly." Sun Simiao bowed slightly, and said: "Although the saint has not studied artisan medicine, but he is proficient in medical science, much stronger than many quacks in the world, and he is deeply inspired by the saint, and divides the "Preparation for Emergency Medicine" into internal and external, gynecology, pediatrics and other clinical departments, divided into 232 categories, the above content involves not only detoxification, first aid, health preservation, dietary therapy, but also acupuncture, massage, guidance, and vomiting. There are more than 1,900 poems, including herbal medicine, women, typhoid fever, children, nourishment, tonics, stroke, miscellaneous diseases, carbuncles, color veins, and acupuncture, especially in the treatment of typhoid fever, stroke, miscellaneous diseases and carbuncles. Of the 569 drugs included in the book, 143 provide detailed information about the collection and preparation of drugs. ”
"Great!" Yang Tong was overjoyed, and read it carefully one by one, and at the beginning of each sheet was written what diseases were treated, such as: wind and cold, heat stroke, water and soil adaptation, etc., as for the content, he only recognized the words, and the three coins and those four taels were written with a black eye, and he couldn't understand anything, and he didn't even know what the medicinal materials looked like, but how could Sun Simiao's "Prepare for Emergencies" be bad? He smiled and said, "Each recipe is worth a thousand gold, and this name is good." ”
"The saint misunderstood, the 'daughter' in "Prepare for Emergencies" does not mean this." Sun Simiao corrected: "Since the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, the Central Plains has been in constant turmoil, causing the lives to be ruined and all industries to wither, and also causing the medical centers in various places to collapse. Moreover, the world has been turbulent for many years, the prescriptions and herbs are numerous, and it is not easy to seek inspection between the soldiers, and most of them are helpless in the face of various diseases, resulting in the death of countless lives that can be saved by instinct. I feel that I have a sense of humility, and after I have learned something, I have been learning from the classics, deleting and removing the complicated, and compiling this book based on my personal experience. If this book can be spread throughout the counties and counties of the Great Sui, the people can calmly search for it and prescribe the right medicine when they are faced with diseases. Humble duty believes that human life is the most important, there is a precious daughter, in a word, virtue is more than this, so it is named "a thousand gold". ”
Yang Tong was impressed in his heart.
But all great people who are famous through the ages must be people who have reached the pinnacle of a certain field, and Sun Simiao is revered as the "King of Medicine" by later generations with this life's painstaking "Thousand Golden Prescriptions", which has established his status in medicine. However, his starting point for compiling this book is simply "when the people are faced with diseases, they can calmly search and prescribe the right medicine." And the simpler and purer the purpose, the more eternal greatness will often be created.
Yang Tong already understood Sun Simiao's intention, he put the manuscript as heavy as Mount Tai on the table as a treasure, and said angrily: "The divine doctor has the heart to help the world, how can I treasure my secret skills?" It will be handed over to the printing office to be published in the world and benefit the world. ”
"Once the "Preparation for Emergencies" is published in the world, it will not only benefit the people of the Great Sui, but this medical book will inevitably spread all over the world, and no matter Huadi, it will benefit from it." Sun Simiao's original intention was to ask Yang Tong to publish this book, and only Yang Tong, who is the emperor, has the financial resources and power to make this book published in the world, but Yang Tong agreed so happily, but Sun Simiao was full of doubts... Just because he knew that Yang Tong attached great importance to classics such as industrial technology, military books, agricultural books, and medical classics, especially the smelting technique and the forging technology of weapons and armor, which were closely monitored.
Yang Tong said: "The eldest husband has something to do and some things not to do, I can't because of the barbarians millions of people, so that there is no prescription available in Langzhong in all parts of my Great Sui, and tens of millions of people are suffering from diseases. ”
"Holy mercy." Sun Simiao was suddenly impressed.
"The divine doctor is gracious." Yang Tong laughed and laughed, he has killed countless people in recent years, millions of people died in Huangquan under his order, a life first, even animals do not want to use it in medicine, but he said that he was merciful, which is really embarrassing.
In fact, in addition to not wanting to lose a big deal because of a small thing, there are two other reasons why he is willing to publish it in the world, one is that Sinology is too profound, even if he gets this book without understanding Sinology, when they get some medicinal names and some medical terms, they will be confused, even if they work hard to translate it, there is no text to pass on to future generations. The second is that there are too few countries as vast as the Great Sui, and even if they get this book, they may not be worthy of all the medicinal materials that are completely consistent with the prescription.
Sun Simiao said to Yang Tong: "Holy Lord, I heard that Sinong Temple, Taifu Temple, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs compiled the "Agricultural Code" on the basis of "Qi Min's Technique"; Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Imperial Department, and the Military Department also have the "Great Sui Code" to be sealed; and His Royal Highness the Tang King's "Dictionary" to be printed; The school of Confucius is a joint Confucian in the world to compile the "Four Books and Five Classics of Justice", not surprisingly, there is also a book or a justice to be printed, if you add this "Prepare for Emergencies", and two copies of the "Great Sui Half Moon Talk" every month, then there are many books to be printed next year... Will it put a heavy burden on the treasury? ”
"Agricultural Code" teaches agricultural time, "Great Sui Code" teaches people to abide by the law, "Dictionary" enlightens the world's children, "Four Books and Five Classics of Justice" is cited as a classic for readers, and "Prepare for Emergencies" to save lives and help the wounded, the sooner they are printed, the better, the key is that these five books are of extraordinary significance and far-reaching influence, which is destined to be issued at a high price by the imperial court, otherwise the world's reputation will be extremely unfavorable to Yang Tong and the imperial court.
Yang Tong said with a smile: "The divine doctor can rest assured, even if a thousand books are printed every year, the imperial court can afford to print them." ”
"But if the five books are published in the world, it will cost countless manpower and financial resources, after all, the saint is the lord of the world, and next year there will not only be a war of the Sui and Tang dynasties, but also a huge amount of money and grain to prepare for the disasters of floods and droughts in the four directions, and unexpected changes in the frontier; There is no trivial matter in the country, and what we think about must be a comprehensive consideration, how can we take care of one thing and lose the other? As long as the humble post does not die, there will definitely be content to be added in the future, if the treasury is difficult, it doesn't hurt to delay it for a few years. ”
Once "Preparing for Emergencies" is published in the world, Sun Simiao will immediately become the king of medicine and the sacredness of medicine, he will not be unaware of this truth, but Sun Simiao is worried about the burden on the country, and would rather delay publication than involve the imperial court. Yang Tong admired Sun Simiao's character more and more, and smiled gratefully: "I, Dasui, have invented the high-quality and inexpensive papermaking technique, which is also the reason why paper books and paper are cheap, and the divine doctor can rest assured." ”
"This lowly office knows. But the manpower and material resources spent on the carved plate are still not a small amount, a carved plate will be scrapped in a few hundred times, and my Dasui has a vast territory, if you want to distribute the world, let the whole world benefit, each book will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of copies, what an amazing number? Although my Great Sui has been under great rule in recent years, the pseudo-Tang Dynasty is especially there, and there will be a battle to be fought next year. Before the unification of the world, the humble position believes that such a big thing should not be hasty! ”
"Divine doctor, look!" Yang Tong took out three seals, printed them with ink, printed them on a piece of paper, and then shuffled the seals, printed them twice, and then handed the paper to Sun Simiao, "This is our current printing technology, although the previous production of movable type project is huge, but these metal movable type, not only convenient for printing books, can be recycled for at least ten years, even if it is damaged, it only needs to supplement the single word." ”
Sun Simiao suddenly said, "I see, I am relieved." ”
"If the divine doctor has a prescription to supplement, just give it to me, and print it once a year in the future, so that the people will not suffer from several or dozens of diseases."
"Whoa."
"At the time of printing, in the name of "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", what did the divine doctor think?"
"There is no objection to the lowly position."
