Chapter 47: Li Shimin's Caution
Du Chengfeng knew that Li Shimin would definitely ask this question, after all, people are curious. Therefore, the rhetoric has been thought of a long time ago.
"Just to remember a great and selfless old man." Du Chengfeng looked at the distant sky with his eyes and replied indifferently.
After Du Chengfeng finished speaking, he handed over two complete prescriptions and a booklet with a detailed production process to Li Shimin, and then advised: "Your Majesty, I will hand over the prescription and production method to you." I hope that the emperor can make good use of this prescription for the benefit of the people of the world. Some of the usage and dosage, and the places that should be paid attention to are all written in that booklet. ”
After handing over the prescription to Li Shimin, Du Chengfeng left the Taiji Hall alone, leaving only the backs of the civil and military officials who were fading away.
Li Shimin felt a thousand heavy feelings while carrying these two priceless prescriptions. Du Chengfeng handed him the prescription in front of so many people, hoping that he could protect this prescription and spread it as soon as possible to benefit the people of the world.
When Du Chengfeng explained the efficacy of these two prescriptions clearly, Li Shimin felt the greed in the eyes of those family officials.
Sure enough, as Du Chengfeng said, in the eyes of the family, there is no court, no people, only interests. above all interests. It is precisely because Du Chengfeng anticipated this that he put forward 4 conditions, which can be described as far-sighted.
"Alas! The ideological realm of the Chengfeng brothers is really getting higher and more profound. After Du Chengfeng walked away, Chu Suiliang sighed coldly.
"Huh! Brother Chu seems to know a lot about this peculiar kid. Fang Xuanling pinched his beard and stared at Chu Suiliang with a smile on his face.
"Fang Xiang doesn't know?" Chu Suiliang looked at Fang Xuanling with suspicion.
Fang Xuanling looked at Chu Suiliang in confusion, and replied angrily: "What do I know? Should I know? ”
"Fang Xiang, the emperor called him Du Chengfeng, doesn't Fang Xiang have a little impression? Fang Xiang has never been to Wangjiang Tower? "Chu Suiliang is extremely depressed, Du Chengfeng's reputation is resounding throughout Chang'an, is the room phase unaware of what is going on outside the window?
Seeing Fang Xuanling embarrassed, Yu Shinan hurriedly walked over and reminded: "Brother Fang, this Du Chengfeng is Du Chengfeng, the first calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty who became famous a while ago, and he is also the leader of the Chang'an Poetry Club. And it has the grace of teaching to me, Brother Ouyang, and Master Chu. It's just that the old man couldn't imagine that his mind and sentiment are even more above calligraphy! The old man sighs to himself, and he sighs to himself! ”
Hearing Yu Shinan's reminder, Fang Xuanling finally remembered. Because I remembered it, I was even more shocked in my heart.
"This young man will be a dragon among adults one day!" Fang Xuanling said thoughtfully.
At this time, Li Shimin also returned to the dragon chair and sat down. Next is the normal court meeting, just because he is worried about the two prescriptions, Li Shimin no longer has the heart to talk about some goosebumps at the court meeting.
After hurriedly announcing his next court, he went straight to the Imperial Doctor's Office. The person in charge of the decree of the Tai Yi Department is a close confidant of Li Shimin and can be trusted. Therefore, Li Shimin immediately summoned Ji Chang secretly to a secret room in the Imperial Doctor's Office.
"Weichen Ji often sees the emperor!" In the secret room, Ji Chang lowered his head and said.
"Okay, don't be polite. I announce that you have come today for a very confidential matter. Li Shimin said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Ji Chang replied.
Li Shimin took out the two prescriptions in his arms and handed them to Ji Chang along with the booklet, and said cautiously: "You take a look at these two prescriptions first, if they are handed over to your Imperial Medical Department to make them, they can be produced in a few days." ”
Ji Chang took the prescription from Li Shimin very cautiously, and studied it very carefully line by line. Examine and verify while watching.
In the process of research, Ji Chang's face can be described as very exciting. For a while, his brows were furrowed, he was overjoyed, he was silent for a while, and he was stunned for a while.
After a long time, Ji Changcai put down the prescription in his hand and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, dare to ask where these two prescriptions came from." ”
"What? Having a problem with the prescription? Li Shimin raised his eyebrows. No, the effect of this medicine has been witnessed by him and the civil and military officials.
"Nope. There is no problem with the prescription. These two prescriptions are invaluable. Ji Chang said in surprise, "With all due respect, these two prescriptions must have been tempered and modified. The ratio of each medicinal material has reached the point of excellence. From the perspective of the efficacy of the medicine, it can be said that it completely makes up for our gap in this regard. It is a great luck that the emperor can get this prescription! ”
"Is that really the case?" Li Shimin said with a smile, and put down a big stone in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister dares to vouch for his personality. And the production process is not complicated, and the master of the medicine has marked the production process in great detail. Ji Chang said.
"That's good." Li Shimin exhaled, his face changed and said, "Ji Chang, I remember that you have been my cronie for many years, so I will hand over the production of these two medicines to you." However, the donor specially explained that these two prescriptions are extremely important and must be classified as highly confidential and strictly protected. And it must not be produced by others, it can only be made by the royal family. Do you have any good suggestions? ”
Ji Chang thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, Weichen suggests that the workshop of the Imperial Medical Department be expanded immediately. These two remedies are not only useful for the military, but also for the civilian population. ”
"So for the sake of strict secrecy, the minister thought that we could divide the medicine into multiple parts and produce them separately. Each workshop processes several herbs, which are finally handed over to the emperor's closest people to dispense them. In this way, each link does not know the proportion of medicinal materials of the entire prescription, which can prevent the leakage of secrets by insiders to the greatest extent. ”
"Also, it is best for all the medicinal materials in the prescription to be planted by the royal family itself, so that the cost can be better reduced, and secondly, it can prevent people with intentions from maliciously raising the price of medicinal materials with medicinal raw materials as the main thing. Your Majesty, what do you think of this? ”
After listening to Ji Chang's suggestion, Li Shimin himself weighed it in his heart, obviously the method that Ji Chang said was undoubtedly the most appropriate.
"Okay, just do as you say. As for the cultivation of medicinal herbs, you can find a suitable place in the royal manor or secretly arrange it. I will give you a decree to do it, and anyone who dares to obstruct it will be killed. ”
In order to popularize these two prescriptions as soon as possible, Li Shimin also made a great determination.
"Your Majesty, the other medicinal materials in this prescription are easy to handle, but there is a main medicine in it that has extremely harsh growing conditions, and it cannot be cultivated in the Guanzhong area at all. The master of this vital main medicine specially reminded that only Yunnan, Liangguang and other areas can be planted. Ji Chang said with an embarrassed face.
"This is easy to do, I will order the officials there to open up a special planting area in the Liangguang area of Yunnan, and send people to guard it for a long time, and then escort it to the capital by the border army when the harvest is time. For now, let's go to various places in the name of the imperial court to purchase some and come back for emergencies. Li Shimin said decisively.
