Chapter 502: Alchemy is glorious

Emperor Hongji looked at him in disbelief.

Malaria, which has caused a sharp decline in population and barren fields since the beginning of the dynasties, has found a cure in my hands.

He looked at the cyan pill and smelled a strange scent of grass, disgusting.

It's medicine, yes.

He asked suspiciously, "Have you already ordered someone to try it?" ”

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "I haven't tried it yet, and there are no people with malaria in Beijing." ”

He still needs to be taken to the army in the south to know that he is not sure, it is the medicine on the elbow.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his burning gaze faded for the most part.

The officials looked at each other, and no one refuted.

Malaria is tantamount to a terminal disease, and if you contract it, you will die, so it is strange that it can be cured.

Yan Chengjin continued: "The purity of this green pill is insufficient, and it still needs the assistance of Zhang Yuanxi, who is proficient in alchemy. ”

He is a man who keeps his promises.

Since agreeing to Zhang Sheng, Zhang Yuanxi was escorted back to Beijing and sent to Guozijian, and never came to Liangxiang again.

The corners of Zhang Sheng's mouth twitched violently, and he said angrily: "Nonsense! When will my son be able to do alchemy? ”

Isn't that an insult to what a dogskin Taoist priest would do?

The old man never believed that Yuan Xi would do such a thing.

After returning to the country, Yuan Xi didn't know how well-behaved he was, and he never mentioned the matter of his hometown again.

What he didn't know was that Yan Chengjin and Zhang Yuanxi also had a deal, as long as he obediently returned to the National Prison, one day he would be able to realize his dream of becoming an engineer openly.

Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and the others showed sympathetic eyes, the old man's son was just a small fight, and Brother Qizhao's son even learned alchemy.

Yan Chengjin shook his head, alchemy is so vulgar, it is called chemistry.

This is the quintessence of the country.

It's just that the ancients didn't know much about chemistry, and the road was crooked.

Chemistry is an ancient orthodox knowledge that should be carried forward, and Jiajing is a chemistry enthusiast.

Alchemy is glorious, but it is shameful to take it.

"Master Zhang, that's chemistry, and it can't be confused with alchemy."

Selling dog meat on a sheep's head is not alchemy, Zhang Sheng snorted coldly.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment and put the green pill back in the box: "The southern soldiers are in dire straits, and let Zhang Yuanxi try it, and send the medicine to Liuzhou Mansion, if it can really cure malaria, I will have a heavy reward!" ”

Zhang Sheng has a lot of worries, if he doesn't agree, he is disregarding the lives of the southern soldiers, if he can really cure malaria, my son ......

"Your Honor!"

Yan Chengjin lowered his head and pondered, and promised Zhang Yuanxi's matter, which was half realized.

In ancient times, chemistry was actually very developed.

It's just that the people of various dynasties used the wrong purpose, so that they could not develop well.

I took this opportunity to let the people of the world distinguish between chemistry and alchemy.

In fact, chemistry can be regarded as alchemy, but alchemy is not necessarily chemistry.

Guo Zijian, Doctor of the Five Classics at the University.

Zhang Yuanxi secretly shook his head and sighed, Guozijian's lecture notes are really a hundred times more boring than Liangxiang Institute of Science, no, it is ten thousand times.

Lord Yan has always kept his promises, and has won the admiration of Chief Engineer Song and Chief Engineer Wang, and will one day help him realize his dream.

And all he has to do is ......

"Yuan Xi, you come with the old man." Zhang Sheng appeared outside the school hall without warning.

He was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the national eunuch, and in order not to alarm the sacrificial wine and the doctor, he deliberately wore a Confucian robe.

When he arrived at a secluded corner, Zhang Yuanxi bowed slightly: "What is the father looking for the child?" ”

"The imperial court asked you to go to alchemy."

Zhang Yuanxi looked stunned and didn't react for a long time.

"There is malaria in the south, and you and Wang Ji need to refine the green pill."

Lord Yan!

It must be Lord Yan who is moving!

Zhang Yuanxi was excited, the light appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he choked: "Lord Yan is really a trustworthy person!" ”

Well? Zhang Sheng's eyes were suddenly as sharp as an eagle's eye, why did he feel like a trader.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and the ten days agreed with Emperor Hongzhi expired.

Yan Chengjin entered the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, refining the green pill, a total of 3,000 taels were spent, all of which were paid by the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce, and this silver ......."

Hu Dalong had already taken Qingmaru south, and within two months, he would be able to reach the camp in the south.

I don't know how long the humidity in the south can store the medicine, so Zhang Yuanxi also went south with him so that he could refine it at any time.

He didn't care about the mere three thousand taels of silver, this time he came to turn positive.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyelids, and before the disease was cured, he came to me to ask for silver.

"Yan Qing's family has been supervising the Metropolitan Procuratorate for two months, right?"

Seeing that Yan Chengjin pondered and didn't answer, Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Back to Your Majesty, February 21." ”

Yan Chengjin looked up at Emperor Hongzhi, not knowing what he meant.

Emperor Hongzhi flipped through the sparse music and said lightly: "Go back, I know." ”

……

South, Tuntian Camp.

Forty-eight white tents were hidden in the verdant mountain forest, and there were only a few patrol soldiers, and the camp was dead and silent.

In the tent, there were many soldiers lying on their sides.

The soldiers came to report: "Qianhu, the old man didn't carry it." ”

This place is so wicked that people who stay overnight will fall ill in a few days.

Ma Qin took a deep breath and sighed: "Bury it, pass on the order of the thousand households, withdraw from this place and camp three miles away." ”

Three miles away is also considered a jurisdiction, not a deserter.

Now, we can only hope that the imperial court will issue a withdrawal order as soon as possible, and it is better to withdraw to Liuzhou Mansion.

……

waterways in Liangxiang,

A large ship slowly sailed into the mouth of the bay, and it was huge.

The waterway was a little overwhelmed, and the waves hit the surrounding boats, almost overturning the two boats on the side, and a yellow boat.

"Brute..."

"Where did the big ship come from, it has six masts, so big!"

"It's not a merchant ship in Liangxiang, a merchant ship in Liangxiang has a pass, and there is a merchant name on the canvas, but this ship has nothing."

The sailors on the boat were puzzled, looking at the words on the ship, it didn't look like a merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty.

The shadow of the big ship shrouded half of the river, and the boats all entered the shadows.

Gao Feng stood at the bow of the boat, a little excited, I am back in a big wind!

Yan Chengjin fooled His Royal Highness, saying that the north and the south are connected, and the east and west are connected.

Bah!

At the end of the east, it is clearly a barren dense forest, larger than the Ming Dynasty, and there are jackals everywhere, but fortunately I brought people there.

"Father-in-law Gao, I will entrust you with the things entrusted by the king."

"Don't worry, we will make it clear to Your Majesty."

When Gao Feng went to sea, he knew that Yan Chengjin was calculating, and he had more eyes than the other three.

After pouring all his greedy private wealth, he secretly bought a pirate ship in Tianjin Port and hired 30 sailors as servants before he dared to go to sea.

In the tenth year of Hongzhi, King Shangzhen sent an envoy Dong Wen to pay tribute, and it was he who led Dong Wen into the palace to meet him.

When he arrived at Basho Island, Coco Dong recognized him and gave him great courtesy.

Under his persuasion, King Shang Zhen also sent a team of people to escort him to the sea.

"Stop the boat!"

The river swayed, and the boats were like fallen leaves in a strong wind, floating left and right, uncontrolled.

More and more boat owners are scolding.

Gao Feng was very happy to hear it, after two years of leaving, Liangxiang was still so lively.

At the behest of the crown prince, he went to the east to investigate and fulfilled his will.

"We're the only ones who came back alive."

Speaking of which, he was a little excited.

Boom!

The boat slammed into it, shook violently, and hit the rocks!

The sailor hurriedly came to report: "Father-in-law, the ship is broken." ”

Gao Feng turned around and rushed nervously to the cabin, only to see the river gushing out of the cabin, and in an instant, it was not past his ankles.

It's about to dock.

"The hole is not big, quickly make up for it with mud."

The sailors lifted the lid of the barrel and took out a pitch-black object, as thick as a book, and patched it up on the hole of the ship.

The people on the dock are watching the excitement.

The owner of the boat who was offended just now longed for it to sink immediately, and he was not familiar with the waterways of Liangxiang, and he dared to go on a rampage?

Good town, small courtyard.

Yan Chengjin is tinkering with mosquito coils, and it is not difficult to make incense in Daming, mostly sandalwood.

In the Song Dynasty, there were mosquito coils, made of realgar and mugwort leaves, and the formula was not pure.

Zhang Xian came over and said, "My lord, there is a six-masted ship in the port, and it is about to sink." ”

Yan Chengjin didn't like to join in the fun, and concentrated on seeing how he could make incense: "Why do you need to report to this official." ”

Zhang Xian wanted to speak and stopped: "I only see it when I go to the official, the owner of the ship is like the eunuch of the East Palace, Gao Feng!" ”
