Chapter 256: I feel that I am touring south

Although there are not many medicinal materials used to treat the Black Death, there are also twenty or thirty kinds of medicinal herbs.

However, traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine, even if Europe knows the formula of the pill, if you want to prepare a qualified pill, it is not possible to complete it in a short time.

Not to mention anything else, medicinal materials alone are the biggest constraint in Europe right now.

Many of the medicinal materials of traditional Chinese medicine are specialties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which cannot be found in Europe at all.

Although Dazhou is on the same continent as Europe, the typical temperate maritime climate of Europe is obviously not suitable for the growth of some Chinese medicinal materials.

Besides, the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is vast, with deserts, grasslands, forests, plains, mountains and rivers, and therefore, the herbs are extremely rich, which is not comparable to Europe at all.

In terms of the richness of medicinal materials, it is difficult for other countries to compare with Da Zhou, and it is estimated that this is also the reason why Da Zhou's medicine is different from other countries!

The reason why Zhang Lingyang showed a fox-like smile was naturally because of Dr. William's decision, which enabled Da Zhou to control the production of pills for the treatment of the Black Death for at least ten years.

Ten years later, even if Dr. William returned to Europe with a more perfect prescription, if he wanted to make medicines, wouldn't he have to buy medicinal materials from Da Zhou?

Although the price of these medicinal materials is not very expensive, if you add tens of thousands of miles away, when the medicinal materials arrive in Europe, they will naturally not be cheap.

In addition, will Da Zhou be indifferent to watching his domestic medicinal materials lose to Europe?

Think about things that you can understand with your ass.

Sometimes, Zhang Lingyang can't help but imagine in his heart that if top scientific and technological people like Dr. William can come to Dazhou more, then Dazhou's technology will definitely develop by leaps and bounds.

On the contrary, because of the flow of cutting-edge scientific and technological talents, the development of science and technology in Europe will definitely be hindered to a certain extent.

It is also for this reason that Zhang Lingyang began to increase the introduction of European scientific and technological talents.

Of course, this is an afterthought, so let's not talk about it for now.

However, in order to attract more scientific and technological personnel to Dazhou, Zhang Lingyang not only offered a good salary, but also gave Wilson a set of fine tea sets, as well as a pound of tea and a pair of blue and white porcelain porcelain when he left the capital.

In order to entrap Wilson and let him lobby scientists in Europe more diligently to come to Dazhou.

Wilson is also a person who knows goods, and when he saw the gifts given by Zhang Lingyang, he knew that these were all good things that he had never seen.

In England, and even throughout Europe, it can be preserved as a national treasure.

Wilson repeatedly assured Zhang Lingyang that after returning to China, he would definitely lobby more scientific and technological personnel, especially top scientific and technological personnel like Dr. William to come to Dazhou.

Zhang Lingyang was naturally happy in his heart.

In the midst of everyone's joy, Zhang Lingyang personally sent Wilson out of the east gate of the capital before returning to the palace.

Now, Zhang Lingyang has important things to do, as for those scientific and technological personnel who have just arrived in the capital, Zhang Lingyang has already taken up the role of the shopkeeper and dumped them all to the Great Zhou Royal Academy.

As for Zhang Lingyang, what is more important to do now?

Naturally, it is to patrol the south of the Yangtze River!

Many people think that the emperor's travel is not only a waste of state affairs, but more importantly, a waste of money.

Many important ministers of the Great Zhou also thought so.

When Zhang Lingyang said that he wanted to visit Jiangnan in the early court, he was fiercely opposed by the Imperial History of the Inspectorate headed by Li Guangtai.

It is a natural cliché to consume people's fat and ointment, labor and money, but Zhang Lingyang still decided on this idea and further implemented this idea in the early dynasty.

The reason why he insisted on patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, Zhang Lingyang naturally had his own ideas.

As the richest area of the Great Zhou, Jiangnan has been under the control of the gentry for many years, and has not heard of the emperor's authority for a long time.

Now, the gentry in Jiangnan have been greatly injured, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Lingyang naturally wants to go to Jiangnan to publicize his dragon power, so that the gentry and people in Jiangnan can see the power of the emperor. By the way, let's also examine the people on both sides of the canal.

Of course, Zhang Lingyang's desire to see the customs of Jiangnan is also one of the things that cannot be ignored.

As early as in his previous life, Zhang Lingyang had heard a lot of beautiful poems describing the customs of the south of the Yangtze River.

But in later generations, Jiangnan, as the most economically developed area in the country, where is there still an ancient style?

Even if there are some antique scenery and buildings left, when it comes to holidays, they are all overcrowded, and what Zhang Lingyang wants to see is the scenery, not the head.

Naturally, Zhang Lingyang only went to Jiangnan once to see people's heads, and has never been there since.

Now, it is the spring of March, Zhang Lingyang naturally rose to visit the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, the gardens in Suzhou, the Qinhuai River in Jiangning, the West Lake in Hangzhou and other places of interest, which is not in vain.

Belch!

With Zhang Lingyang's current age, it is still a little too early to say this.

But Zhang Lingyang is also worried that he will not be able to spare such a long free time in the future.

Therefore, even though the ministers were against Zhang Lingyang's visit to the south of the Yangtze River, Zhang Lingyang still resolutely decided.

Three days later, under the escort of the two guards of Long Xiang and Hu Xiang and the three royal armies, Zhang Lingyang's Luan drove slowly out of the capital and headed towards the canal wharf.

Zhang Lingyang planned to go to Jiangnan for half a year, and except for the major military affairs, other government affairs were entrusted to Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the six ministries and nine secretaries to negotiate and deal with them.

In other words, Zhang Lingyang did not take a single important minister of the court with him when he went south this time, but only brought a few people such as Zhang Zhiyuan, the former head of the cabinet, and Sun Dingan, the prince of Ningguo.

In the harem, the queen naturally has to stay to deal with the affairs of the harem.

As for the other concubines who already had children, Zhang Lingyang didn't bring any of them.

The remaining concubines who were not pregnant, basically not bad, Zhang Lingyang took them all.

Speaking of which, even if you are the imperial concubine, the fate of these women is very pitiful.

From childhood to adulthood, they are all out of the gate, and when they arrive at the palace, what they face every day is only the deep palace wall, which is simply a canary raised for the Son of Heaven.

This time he visited Jiangnan, Zhang Lingyang naturally wanted to take these concubines, and let them witness the grand scenery of Jiangnan with their own eyes, and also forget their wishes.

The cars were mighty, except for the cars in which the Son of Heaven and his concubines were riding, most of them were used to transport the clothes and salutes of the Son of Heaven and his concubines.

Noble people travel differently from ordinary people.

Large bags and small bags of various items were stuffed with a whole bunch of them. Even the most inadequately prepared concubines prepared five or six carts of salutes.

As for Zhang Lingyang, the son of heaven and a few more favored concubines, there are even more things.

But fortunately, Zhang Lingyang doesn't have to worry about these things......
