Chapter 821: Good Omen
The palace medical office was rectified four years ago and transferred a group of Langzhong from Yicaotang, but it is still based on traditional looking, smelling, asking, cutting, herbal formulas, surgery, injections and medicines, if it is not for emergency and serious diseases, it is basically not true.
On the one hand, most of the Lang Zhong who are transferred to the palace do not have surgical qualifications, and on the other hand, the lack of professional monitoring instruments and equipment is not enough for major surgery.
Although after more than ten years of efforts, the basic medical equipment and equipment have been improved, and the emergence of medical measures such as drugs, infusions, and blood transfusions has improved the means of treatment, but the risk of open major surgery is extremely high, and at best it can only play a very important role in battlefield ambulance.
Governing the country is like curing a disease, learning medical skills well is not only a life-saving technique to learn, but also a way to deal with things.
Healing the sick and curing the dead, at best, is a life, and it is a lesson to learn next time.
There is no second time in governing the country, and the mistake is the economic loss of land cession and compensation, and the worst is the death of the soldiers, the defeat of the country, the displacement of the people, and the wives and daughters become the tools of others' lewd pleasures.
The social situation in the hospital is not the epitome of the gunpowder officialdom on the battlefield, but the angles and positions are different, and the consequences to be borne are different.
When talking to Jiang Can, Zhou Kong came from the backyard wearing a martial robe, Jiang Can saw that Zhou Kong was still afraid in his heart, and he was busy saying goodbye:
"There is a lot of trouble, this son will leave first."
"Well, the son of the world walks slowly."
Jiang Can didn't look back, turned around and left. Zhou Kong rushed to Bailiyan quickly, looked at Jiang Can's back ruthlessly, and said angrily:
"This rabbit cub, when I'm a ghost!"
"Okay, the son of the world is a child, why bother."
Bai Liyan stretched out his hand to take it into his arms, Zhou Kong did not refuse, leaned directly on Bai Liyan's side and said:
"Lu Hou sent someone here at noon, asking you to go to the house and say that you are discussing something. I wonder if it's been the more and more ferocious things that have been rumored lately. ”
"Well, I know what to do. Lu Hou can't be delayed, and he has to go to the palace again tonight, and he won't use it at home for dinner. When Rong'er comes back, you can use it yourself first. ”
"You should also be more careful about your body, don't get tired."
"Got it."
Zhou Kong has changed a lot in recent years, in 642 he was awarded a big reward, and King Xian gave him the title of "Lady of Women", the same general, he could make up a town of soldiers and horses, but in fact, Bailiyan only made up 12,000 people.
At the beginning of the door, he was still quite stubborn, after giving birth to Wan'er, his mother's love was overflowing, and his personality gradually changed.
After passing through the door, Bai Liyan found out that Zhou Kong had a serious apathy, and the demand for men and women was not very large, only once in two or three months, and this cola broke Jiang Rong and Lord Qiao. Bailiyan gave her medicine one after another, and her warm body gradually improved, but the disease was not easy to treat.
After giving detailed instructions to Zhou Kong, Baili Yan rushed to Luhou Mansion non-stop.
After the unexpected death of Xue Teng, the old marquis, his eldest son Xue Chong succeeded him as the marquis, and Xue Teng's second son Xue Cheng stayed in Lucheng to supervise the salt industry.
In the past ten years, the coastal vassal states have followed the example of the salty state to carry out the salt drying law, the salt price of the coastal country has fallen sharply, and the salt merchants are not having a good time, in order to cope with the sharp drop in salt prices, the other vassal states can only control the number of salt drying salt fields to stabilize the market. Only the salt in Xianguo has only increased, and while the price is getting lower and lower, the profit of the halogen is a lot.
On the one hand, the large-scale rise of chemical industry, food, industry, animal husbandry and breeding has greatly stimulated the use of salt, and the consumption of salt has increased.
The chemicals needed by industry also require the conversion of sodium chloride, which further consumes a large amount of salt production and adds additional income.
On the other hand, Luhou is the only salt lord involved in the chemical industry, which has almost monopolized the production and sales of civilian chemicals, thus bringing more profits.
At the same time, Bailiyan cultivated a group of basic chemical talents for the Luhou family, and the three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Liu family focused on the secrets of Lincheng, using their manpower and financial resources to further win over the Luhou forces, and by supporting the Luhou, and suppressing other salt lords who were dependent on the Jin people, to achieve the purpose of weakening the stubborn magnates.
To the Luhou Mansion, Xue Chong set up a banquet to entertain him, as expected, because of the lack of two catties.
Benefiting from the popularization and development of chemistry, Lu Hou has learned from Lincheng the despicable means of extracting gold and silver by chemical corrosion replacement method, so he asked Bailiyan how to solve it, and Bailiyan is helpless about it, at least there is no absolute solution at the moment.
In addition to the positive spiritual stimulation produced by the improvement of the national situation, the gospel brought by the gradual improvement of medical conditions, and the effect of the medicinal wine and ice velvet flower brewed for thousands of years at the beginning played a great role.
From the side, it also verified the prophecy of Zong Botai at the beginning, King Xian will be a rare long-lived monarch in the history of Xianguo.
At this time, King Xian was having dinner, and Jiao Muhua entered the palace to report:
"King Qiyu, wait outside the palace of the Marquis of Yongxing."
"Please come in for the widow."
"No."
After Jiao Muhua left, King Xian and Jiang Hao said:
"Add another pair of chopsticks and a set of eating utensils."
"The king, Marquis Lu has hosted a banquet for Marquis Yongxing in the mansion before."
Jiang Hao reminded that King Xian disagreed:
"Whether you need to eat or not is Yongxing Hou's business, the widow can't let Yongxing Hou just watch the widow eat, go quickly."
"Oh, it's the subordinates who are stupid, and the subordinates will do it immediately."
When he was young, Baili Yan entered the inner hall, saw King Xian eating, and quit again:
"I don't know that the king is eating, and the minister has disturbed the king."
"Eh, the Marquis of Yongxing doesn't have to be restrained, come and enjoy the delicious food with the widow."
"The king has a meal, and the ministers dare not be rude."
Xianwang put down his chopsticks, wiped the grease stains from his mouth with a wet wipe, and continued:
"The widow has said it, don't be restrained. Does it have to be an order for the Marquis of Yongxing to obey the order? ”
"Since the king is warmly invited, the minister obeys the order."
After Baili Yan sat down, Jiang Hao took the food utensils and put them in front of him, and King Xian took Jin Xuedi's national book and transferred it to Bai Li Yan, and then said:
"Aiqing is proficient in barbarian script, let's take a look at the widow, there are differences between barbarian and my Central Plains style."
"No."
Jin Xuedi's national credentials are very rare, and even in the peace talks of that year, they did not express their sincerity to the coalition forces in the form of official credentials.
When I first grasped the national book, the first feeling was that it was sinking. The national book is a gold and silver thread woven with gold and silver, lined with silk books.
The Jin Xuedi people did not produce silk, so they did not have silk, and in most cases came from the smuggling of booty and thieves in the Central Plains.
The contents of the letter of state show that the moon god king Brundor Ryder Nosard sent a trade envoy to Mooney into the Central Plains to find the Xian country, and was willing to trade with the Central Plains on the alliance between the two countries for generations.
Brendo Ryder Nossard in the national letter is the eldest son of Brendo Norhan Nossard, the moon god king who invaded the Central Plains in the north, and the old Brendo should have returned to the west, and now it is the era of the new king.
The book only mentions trade and friendship between the two countries, and does not mention anything else, and the content of trade is not detailed.
Compared with the form and the original text, there is no difference between the content and the ideology, Bai Liyan casually returned the national letter to King Xian, and said solemnly:
"King, this national book is rare in the world, and it will be the treasure of the town and country in the future, which can be passed on to future generations, and the king must collect it."
King Xian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the news, and hurriedly asked:
"Why did Aiqing say this?"
"The king doesn't know, according to the minister's knowledge, there were only three points in the hundreds of years before this, one copy of the Liang State, and two copies of the royal guest, of which the Liang State is the Xuanguo Warring States Book. The two copies of the royal guest are the national letters of peace talks, but the national letters of good trade held by the king are extremely exquisite and luxurious, and the significance is extraordinary, which can be regarded as auspicious signs. ”
"Hehaha...... "Xianwang Dayue, smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly said: "I have to love Qing's kind words, and the widow is very comforted." Come, the widow toasts Aiqing. ”
"King Xie."
After raising a glass and drinking it all, King Xian said:
"Aiqing, the barbarians are here, in addition to trading with the widows, can they send envoys to other countries?"
"As far as the minister knows, he came straight to our country, and did not send an envoy to Zhiguo or Liang, but informed the Yuke of the details. As for why he only came to Xianguo, it was difficult for the minister to know his intentions for a while. But there are really sinister intentions, my Xianguo is in the north, and Jin Xuedi is in the south, where can it affect my Xianguo, the king can relax. ”
"Well, few people know a thing or two about this. However, the widow is worried that this barbarian is cunning, and this time he came to trade, Aiqing must not make our country suffer. ”
"Please rest assured, the minister has been fighting with Jin Xuedi for many years, and he knows his temperament, and now he has entered the Central Plains, which is the territory of my Central Plains, he dares to cheat, and there will be no good fruit to eat."
"With Aiqing's words, the widow will be relieved." King Xian affirmed, then lowered his voice and moved closer and said, "In Aiqing's opinion, how much gold and silver will the barbarians bring here?" ”
King Xian finally couldn't help but ask the core topic, Bai Liyan thought for a moment and replied cautiously:
"It's hard to say, the king should know that the silver pot in Gudappa's house is as big as a sauce jar."
"Well, the widow knows that most of the barbarian meal utensils were made of gold and silver, and the widow couldn't believe it until he saw it with his own eyes."
"That's it, Jin Xuedi people gold and silver minerals and so much, more than my Central Plains dozens of times, many gold and silver minerals are even exposed to the wild, dig out the size of a fist, the fineness is full of seven or eighty percent, the last time the minister looted is only the two provinces outside the Guan, the plundered finances are not more than half of the Guan, I don't know anything about the situation in the Guan, it is difficult to say how much gold and silver can be brought to trade this time."
The land where Jin Xuedi is located is rich in precious metals and iron ores, and many gold, silver and iron ores are open-pit mines, with a high degree of enrichment, and the quality of gold and silver after smelting is extremely high.
Most of the gold and silver coins reminted before are 90% purple, and even more than half of them are pure gold, which shows that their purity is more than 90%, and the quality is much higher than that of the Central Plains precious metals.
At that time, the plundering of Posong and Songdia provinces amounted to millions of inches of silver, and it was roughly estimated that it accounted for less than 40% of the gold and silver of the two provinces outside the Guanxi Province.
It is unlikely that Mooney came to the Central Plains in the name of purchasing medicinal materials, and it is unlikely that he would walk on the road for a year just to buy medicinal materials, and then spend another year walking back to his homeland.
The Central Plains is a vast land, the Jinxuedi people need a wide variety of goods, and the same huge amount of spices, precious metals, jewelry, ivory, cherished herbs, antelope fur, leather, and nuts needed in the huge Central Plains market is amazing.
The only thing that worries Bai Liyan is that Mooney will only come to Xianguo here, although Xianguo will get a huge amount of precious metal income for this, but it will also cause the eyes and hatred of all countries, and it is difficult to say that this business will not be coveted by all countries.
