"How can this wine be lit? Lao Ning, what kind of trick are you playing? The two brothers, Yao Jingjun and Yao Jingtang, looked at the wine that was still burning in amazement.

Ning Zhiyuan said proudly: "This is not a trick. I'll tell you one thing you don't know, and that's that any kind of wine, as long as it's pure, can be lit.

My jar of wine is not ordinary wine, it is a high-purity wine refined by a secret method of a military doctor under me. It is so pure that it can be ignited completely, so it is also called shochu.

This small jar of wine, which requires several large vats of wine to make, is several times purest than ordinary wine.

Due to the huge cost of this method, even I only got this small jar. ”

Yao Jingjun laughed and said: "Sure enough, there are subordinates who have generals, and your subordinate military doctor must be the same as you, and he is also a drunkard who is addicted to alcohol, otherwise how could he come up with such a method of refining wine." ”

Ning Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "You guessed wrong, my subordinate military doctor usually doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, and the amount of alcohol is not good, just pour a glass, not a person who is addicted to alcohol." He made soju to save people. ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"This method of refinement, as well as the method of refining wine, was taught to him by a master.

The master told him that as long as the soju refined by this method could effectively reduce the suppuration and ulceration of the wound, and reduce the number of deaths of the wounded.

At first, I didn't think much of his statement, but for the sake of his family's generations in the army, I asked him to give it a try.

It took him nearly two years to finally make this soju.

After many experiments, this soju is indeed able to reduce the suppuration and ulceration of wounds.

In addition to the soju, the master also taught him some unbelievable healing methods, such as using a needle and thread boiled in boiling water to stitch up the wounds of the wounded soldiers directly to prevent the wounds from being exposed. ”

"What do you say, he sewed up the wounded soldier's wound with a needle and thread?" The two brothers, Yao Jingjun and Yao Jingtang, were dumbfounded.

Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile: "You guys are really scared, I thought it was incredible at first.

But no one expected that this appalling method would be really effective, so that many wounded soldiers who could not be saved at all according to the old method were snatched back from the hands of Hades.

Now all the soldiers in the army regard him as a miracle doctor, and they can't wait to give him an immortal card.

What's even more rare is that he didn't hide his secrets and taught this treatment to other military doctors.

Thanks to this thaumaturgy, the number of wounded soldiers and deaths in the Northwest Army has dropped significantly, and the morale of the soldiers has also improved a lot. ”

Yao Jingjun stroked his beard and said: "Since it is really effective, then this method should be vigorously promoted, so that more soldiers of the Great Wei will not die of injuries."

By the way, who taught you the master of the subordinate military doctor, who is so sacred, is so clever. ”

"My subordinate said that the master didn't want people to know his identity, so he didn't dare to say it.

Since he's said so, I can't force him anymore.

What's even more interesting is that the master also came up with a brilliant way to quickly increase the production of shochu.

Don't you literati usually boast that you know astronomy, geography, and everything? You can guess how. ”

Looking at his old friend's smug face, Yao Jingjun suddenly became competitive, and began to seriously think about what method could quickly increase the output of soju.

Not only him, but Yao Jingtang also began to think about it.

After thinking for a while, just as Yao Jingjun was in a state of hard thought, he suddenly saw the soju still burning on the table, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Lao Ning, is it related to this secret recipe for making wine?" Do you want to sell this secret recipe to a wine merchant? ”

When Yao Jingtang heard his brother's words, he immediately understood, clapped his hands and exclaimed: "I see, I can't imagine that there is such a trick."

Merchants are profit-seeking, and as long as they know the secret recipe, they will naturally make a large number of soju and sell it at a high price. Wonderful, this trick is really wonderful. ”

Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's an old fox, and I really can't hide it from you."

That's right, that's the way the master proposed.

Sell the recipe directly to the sake merchants, let them refine the liquor, and make the shochu a favorite of the drunkards. At that time, we can buy as much as we want, saving time and effort. ”

Yao Jingjun praised: "This method is indeed clever, but it's a pity that such a talent can't be used by the imperial court, it's a pity." ”

Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Since they are masters, most of them like to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and not everyone wants to be an official with a sharp head.

Having said so much, I almost forgot about this fine wine. Let's take a look at the best of these wines.

Ah Zhen, what are you still doing in a daze, come over with a cup. After you taste this soju, you will never forget it for the rest of your life. ”

Chi Fei, who had been pretending to be dead the whole time, woke up like a dream and hurriedly handed over the cup.

If, if he guessed correctly, the "master" in their mouth is likely to be him.

And the subordinate military doctor in the mouth of his father-in-law Ning Zhiyuan is likely to be Lu Jing, the school doctor who came to him last year.

Chi Fei didn't expect Lu Jing to really refine high-purity soju. If he hadn't heard from his father-in-law today, he wouldn't have known about it.

Of course, he knew this in his own heart, and he didn't intend to let anyone know. After all, everything is in the past, so why bother mentioning it again.

…………………………

After the family banquet, Ning Zhiyuan sent Yao Jingjun and Yao Jingtang's family away, and asked someone to carry the drunken eldest son-in-law Qiu Yuchen into the carriage, and let the eldest daughter Ning Yashan follow him back to the mansion of the eldest princess of Qingping.

After wiping his face with a hot towel to regain some consciousness, Ning Zhiyuan said to Chi Fei, who was left alone: "Ah Zhen, while you are here tonight, I just want to tell you some things so that you can prepare in advance." ”

"Father-in-law, please speak." Originally, there were already five or six points of drunkenness, and Chi Fei hurriedly cheered up and looked at him.

"Have you heard the news that the Hu people are preparing to invade everywhere recently?"

"My son-in-law has heard it, but I don't know if it's true or not?"

"The news is half-true.

There was indeed an unusual movement on the Hu side, but there was no sign of a large-scale march.

In fact, this news was deliberately spread by the emperor in order to divert everyone's attention.

The reason for this was because there was a plague in several counties on the northern border. ”

"What, the plague?" When Chi Fei heard this, his face suddenly changed.

He was well aware that because of the great difference between the level of medical care in ancient times and modern times, ancient plagues were far more terrible than modern large-scale infectious diseases.

In modern society, due to the perfection of various medical testing technologies and isolation measures, even if there is a terrible infectious disease that cannot be controlled by drugs, the further spread of the disease can be avoided through scientific isolation methods.

But this was not the case in ancient society, and although there were quarantine measures, they were very simple and rude, usually locking down the entire village or even the entire county town where the plague broke out.

Although this is conducive to preventing the spread of the plague on a large scale, it often leads to the rapid spread of the plague in the blockade area, and then tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, in the entire blockade area, are infected with the plague, and finally die of countless diseases.

In his world, the worst plague in human history was the Black Death in medieval Europe, which claimed the lives of more than 20 million people, more than a quarter of the population of Europe at the time.

Europeans at the time adopted the same method of segregation, but with little effect.

The reason is that they simply do not think that the real pathogen is not in the patient, but in the mouse.

A large number of rats with plague bacteria roamed around, spreading the original plague bacterium of the Black Death throughout Europe, which caused so many people to become infected.

In modern times, pathogens would have been found through microscopes, but Europeans in the Middle Ages knew nothing about it, and this is the huge difference brought about by medical technology.

Ancient plagues were far more terrible than people could have imagined.

Once it breaks out, it is likely to cause a tragic situation of ten rooms and nine emptiness, and corpses are everywhere, so the ancients will smell the plague and change color.

Ning Zhiyuan said with a solemn expression: "In order to avoid panic among the people and even a large-scale wave of escape, we have ordered the news to be blocked so that the capital and civilians from all over the country will not know the details.

As for the villages and county towns where the plague broke out, troops have been sent to besiege the villages and cities, not allowing anyone to go out, and arresting those who might get sick along the way.

I'm telling you this because I want you to prepare in advance. Once the plague really spreads to the surrounding areas of the capital, I will send someone to escort you and Xiao Zhi out of the capital and take refuge in Jiangnan.

I have already told Xiaozhi's sister about this, and then the two of you will go together, so that you can take care of each other. ”

"What about your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Won't you come with us? ”

Ning Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Unless there is an appointment today, your mother-in-law and I will not leave the capital."

Not only us, but also the two brothers Lao Yao, the eldest princess of Qingping and the concubine, as well as all the incumbent officials and the heads of the family with titles cannot leave, otherwise they will be directly removed from the list today, and there will be no place for them in the future.

Because once we, the heads of prominent families and incumbent officials, leave, it will cause panic throughout the capital, and there will definitely be a large-scale wave of exodus.

The capital is the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty and the heart of the entire Great Wei Dynasty, and this will never be allowed to happen today.

Although we can't leave, if you juniors leave quietly, Imagami will turn a blind eye and let it go.

This can be regarded as an opportunity for us old guys to leave a blood incense, so that it will not be cut off because of this.

So if you leave Beijing at that time, it is likely that you will go with your two families, and at most the other two sons of Princess Qingping. Then you will watch and help each other to overcome the difficulties. ”

After thinking for a while, Chi Fei solemnly promised: "Please rest assured, father-in-law, if something really happens, I will definitely do my best to protect the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law, and I dare not guarantee the others." ”

"With your words, I'm relieved." Ning Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction.

Compared with his eldest son-in-law Qiu Yuchen, a weak scholar, he believes in Chi Fei, a smart and cautious little son-in-law.

Especially from what he said, it can be seen that he can clearly distinguish who he really wants to protect, and he will not be hot-headed to do something that is beyond his strength.

The so-called catastrophe is coming, and everyone is selfish.

Even if it is Ning Zhiyuan himself, when it really comes to a critical moment, he will only give priority to protecting his relatives, and no matter how good the relationship between others is, he can only put it in the second place.
