Chapter 123: Cooperation with Feng An
The whole patient concentration camp was busy, but fortunately, Feng Zhidai, a standing soldier in the city, only took half of it away, otherwise, it would be really difficult to carry it out according to Sun Xiangfu's suggestion.
As time passed, Sun Xiangfu's mood became heavier and heavier, because the originally repaired patient camp needed to be more than doubled, and the news that the chief Feng Ang was looking for someone to cure potbelly disease spread after the news spread among the bureaucratic tribes who were preparing to rise up, many tribes that were originally ready to attack the Han government did not need Feng Zhidai to clean it up, they took the initiative to tie up and provoke their Han people to come out, and then, a team of potbelly patients were brought to this patient concentration camp by Feng Zhidai's subordinates.
In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, it is the sweet season of lychees, and after eating a few lychees sent by Ah Yue, Sun Xiangfu still feels bitter in his mouth.
This is what happened to his ancestors, because the level of medical care is underdeveloped, so that the development of this nation is not known how many years has been delayed, he decided to help them change, so the medicine for schistosomiasis must be developed.
"My lord, it's not good, Master Xuanzang and Li Daochang fainted." Zhao Long hurriedly ran from Feng's mansion to the side of the patient concentration camp and shouted to Sun Xiangfu.
"What's going on?" Sun Xiangfu got up in surprise, and regardless of the lychees that rolled to the ground, he and Xi Junmai hurriedly ran to Feng's mansion.
"The master and the Taoist master have personally tried the medicine." Zhao Long replied as he ran.
"What? Test the drug? Why do you want to try the two together? Sun Xiangfu asked depressedly.
"They each have a side, and they all say that their own side is good, so they ······"
After a while, the three of them came to the decoction pharmacy in Feng's mansion, but at this time, Xuanzang and Li Chunfeng had already woken up.
"Master, Dao Chief, how do you feel?" Sun Xiangfu asked anxiously.
"I'm waiting for no harm, but the number of patients is getting more and more in the past few days, and I'm a little anxious, so I want to prescribe the medicine as soon as possible." Xuanzang, who still had some sweat on his forehead, replied.
"It seems that I am doing useless work, and I pulled my stomach in vain, this medicine, the ratio between me and this monk is almost completely opposite, but the effect is the same, uh, quickly take this prescription to grab a pair of antidiarrheal drugs for us."
This kind of medicine with the effect of scraping the intestines, normal people eat it, and it is still used to say, Li Chunfeng's chrysanthemum is obviously painful, and he turned sideways and threw a pair of prescriptions to Sun Xiangfudao.
Immediately, Sun Xiangfu handed over the prescription to the servants of the pharmacy to grab the medicine.
"It's not useless, at least I know that this medicine is violent, I wait for such a strong person, after eating a pair, I will faint, those weak patients if they eat a pair, I am afraid that they will have to worry about their lives, and they need to reduce the dose."
As soon as Xuanzang said this, Sun Xiangfu immediately understood, although he took a lot of medicines when he was a child with schistosomiasis, many of them were auxiliary drugs to protect the anorectum, spleen and stomach, and he only ate a few tablets a day, and it took almost two months to eat it completely.
So he bowed his hand to the two of them and said, "The master and the Taoist chief have tried the medicine by themselves, which is really immeasurable, but I have to trouble you to prescribe a few prescriptions to protect the anorectum and protect the spleen and stomach." ”
"Compared to what adults do, this is not a merit, these days, the poor monks have a lot of reflection, perhaps, to learn the scriptures, should not only take the scriptures." Xuanzang said modestly.
"The master is right to think so, Tianzhu's astronomy, calendrical calculations, medicine, and even the doctrine of cause and Ming are things that we should learn from Datang, and there are some other production technologies, which can really benefit the people of Datang in the world, this is the true scripture." Sun Xiangfu was excited, and some words slipped out.
"This astronomy, calculus, medicine, poor monks know, what is the cause of knowledge? Where did you find out? ”
Sun Xiangfu, who asked Xuanzang, was a little dumbfounded, and made up a reason, "I read it in an idle book, and I don't describe it much, it's roughly a science of argument and truth-seeking, with some ways and methods of logical thinking!" ”
"Well, if the poor monk can really go to Tianzhu, he must learn this cause and learn it well." Sun Xiangfu's Xuanzang didn't understand it either, so he kept it in his heart and said.
"Well, not to mention these, the master and the Taoist master think that this medicine can cure the big belly?" Sun Xiangfu asked.
"This medicine should have a miraculous effect on potbelly!" Xuanzang is only well-read and strong, and he understands pharmacology, and in terms of medical efficacy, Li Chunfeng, who has systematically learned Taoist medical skills, has more say and concluded.
"In this way, I started to prepare the medicine and prepare the medicine for the patient."
After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, he was going to the warehouse to get the medicine, but he didn't want to, although Feng Ang had already emptied several pharmacies in the city, but there were not many of these medicines in the medicine depot in the house.
"In Lingnan, there is not enough medicine, you buy, our ship is fast, I may need you to help you go to Suzhou."
Most of the developed cities in this period were along both sides of the canal, and the land of Lingnan was difficult to travel by land, so it was not as fast as a water steamer to go back and forth to Suzhou, yes, Sun Xiangfu suggested.
"Nothing, as long as you allow me to gamble while playing mahjong with the boatmen." Xi Junmai smiled and said.
"Money, but do you need money? I have a lot of money in my house. ”
Feng An, who came back from outside, only listened to a small part of Xi Jun's words, and said to Sun Xiangfu.
"Yue Gong, I plan to let Jun buy to take our fast boat to Suzhou and other places to buy medicinal herbs." Sun Xiangfu explained.
The cash he brought to the south was really not much, and he originally hoped that those leather goods could be sold at a good price in Yangzhou, but there was such a thing in Yangzhou, and he set off in a hurry, and not a single leather goods were sold.
"Well, buy, just buy it and come back with a whole boat, and the money will come out of my house." Feng Ang said, then called the housekeeper over, and immediately led the two to the treasury where the money was loaded.
"Find a cart and pull away all these rusty things."
Feng Ang waved his hand domineeringly, and the housekeeper had to do so, and after a while, a large carriage with a carriage came and began to load copper coins.
"Yue Gong can see it clearly." Sun Xiangfu saw the warehouse that was a few sizes larger than his own house and praised.
"These copper coins can only rust in the treasury, and they are not beneficial to the people, if they can benefit the people of Lingnan, they can reflect its benefits.
Feng Ang didn't shout to stop, the housekeeper kept loading money, and directly loaded more than a dozen big cars, the treasury was really going to bottom, Sun Xiangfu persuaded Feng Ang to stop, although the medicinal materials were expensive during this period, and the more the demand was tight, the more expensive they were, but these dozen big cars, Sun Xiangfu visually measured that there were tens of thousands of dollars, but Feng Ang couldn't be called bankrupt.
"Yue Gong rest assured, how did the money be spent, and how can you earn it back in the future." Sun Xiangfu looked at Xi Jun, who was excited, and went to the dock with copper coins, and said to Feng An.
"This money is accumulated by my Feng family for several generations, although it is a pity to use it up once, but the old man thinks it is worth it." Feng Ang didn't go to see the distant convoy, but walked in the direction of the pharmacy, he had already heard from the housekeeper about Xuanzang and Li Chunfeng personally testing the medicine, and wanted to go over to thank him.
"Yue Gong, in my opinion, only when the people of Lingnan are rich, can they be qualified to fight against this harsh environment."
"Really? Tell me, what is the method of germination in my Lingnan, and how can the people fight against these damn poisonous insects and plagues after the people are rich? Feng Ang was interested in what Sun Xiangfu said, and stopped asking.
"Yue Gong, the land of Lingnan is rich in sugarcane, lychees, plantains, mangoes, these things, transported to Chang'an, they are all high prices."
"How could the old man not know, but Lingnan to Chang'an, thousands of miles away, to transport these things over, the cost is huge, even if they are sold at a high price, they will not get a little profit, and the people's labor will be in vain." Feng Ang shook his head and said.
"Hehe, that was before, Yue Gong can know how long it took to come from Chang'an and take along the road?"
"January or two?"
Sun Xiangfu shook his head and said, "Counting the almost three days spent in Luoyang and Yangzhou, there are only more than ten days in total." ”
"How fast is your ship?" Feng Ang was a little surprised.
"That's right, not only fast, but also heavy-loaded, can transport 10,000 stone goods at a time, and travel to and from Chang'an Lingnan once, at most more than a month." Sun Xiangfu said with a smile.
"If you can match a clipper like you, you can make a lot of money." Feng Ang said with some interest.
"Relying on transportation and reselling alone, the profit is still too small, the craftsmen I brought over this time, when I was in Chang'an, I developed a new method of sugar production, if Yue Gong can set up a factory in Lingnan to produce new sugar, in charge of underwriting, we will open the profits, Yue Gong just shipped out the money, in the next confidence to earn back within a year." Sun Xiangfu took advantage of the situation again.
"The old man also has a sugar workshop under his name, but he can't make tens of thousands of dollars a year." Feng Ang was a little unconvinced.
"The new sugar made under the production is not at the same level as the sugar you made before, I dare not say anything else, it can be at least twice as expensive as the salt price in Chang'an, of course, nominally, the entire sugar industry is in your name, and I don't want Your Majesty to know about this industry."
Sun Xiangfu said with deep meaning in his eyes.
Feng Ang narrowed his eyes when he heard this, looked at Sun Xiangfu for a long time, and then said, "If you can really treat my people in Lingnan who suffer from potbelly disease, I will help you with this favor." ”
"Hehe, Yue Gong is not helping Xia, he is helping all the people in Lingnan, I believe that in the future, once we cooperate, Lingnan, within three years, the overall wealth can catch up with Guanzhong." Sun Xiangfu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and smiled.
"Within three years, catch up with Guanzhong? Can you really say that it is impossible to sell out the sugarcane in our Lingnan! Feng Ang still didn't believe it.
"Sugarcane sugar, just one of them, lychee plantain and other fresh melons and fruits in Lingnan are the same, and there will be a storage and transportation method to be handed over to Yue Gong later.
The most important thing is that the sea fish and the fields are produced, there are new fishing nets on the boat, which have been tested at sea when they come, and when they go down, they can casually go hundreds of thousands of catties of fish, these sea fish, they only need to be dried into dried fish, and they are pulled to the workshop in Xiayangzhou, which is money.
In addition, I am going to go to Jiaozhi to take some good rice, once it is spread out and planted in Lingnan, even if the whole Datang does not grow grain, I am confident that I can use the grain of Lingnan to feed the entire people of Datang. ”
At this time, the Tang Dynasty only has a population of 10 or 20 million, and with Sun Xiangfu's planting technology, he is confident that he can easily feed them, which is not that he blows, but the land in Lingnan is too fertile, and there are too many places suitable for cultivating rice.
