Chapter 255: Dr. William's Agreement
Soon, Dr. William learned what hot pot noodles tasted like.
In Europe, the recipe for any ingredient is very simple.
Especially in England, which is known as the kingdom of dark cuisine, the taste of all kinds of food is not good.
Seeing Dr. William eating and drinking, he couldn't stop his mouth at all, Kang Er shook his head with a smile, and said, "William, save some stomach, I'll take you to eat something delicious at night!" ”
"Is there anything better here than hot pot?" In Dr. William's opinion, hot pot is already a rare delicacy, even if it is French food, it is far inferior.
Kang Er explained with a smile: "In Da Zhou, the combination of various ingredients is very diverse. Just like this noodle, there are dozens of ways to make it. ”
Dr. William's first visit to Da Zhou was unfamiliar with the place, so he only thought that Kang was exaggerating.
After all, even in French cuisine, the ingredients are very simple.
It's like beef, usually it's steak and then soup.
Other than that, there are very few other practices.
Well, it's not true, there are still many ways to make steak, just like steak can be made medium-rare, medium-rare or medium-rare.
Well, there's not much to do.
In the evening, Kang Er led Dr. William and the others to the night market in the capital until late at night.
Because the city gate had long been closed, Kang Er and the others stayed at the inn for the night, and only returned to the royal academy in the western suburbs the next morning.
In fact, these are all specially made by Zhang Lingyang.
In order to make Dr. William and others feel that Da Zhou is different from Europe, Zhang Lingyang specially approved a large amount of funds to the Royal Academy to entertain these scientific and technological personnel.
Of course, after what they have seen and heard in these days, Dr. William and others have indeed felt that the Great Zhou is more civilized, rich and prosperous than Europe.
Compared with London, the capital of England, and the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the streets of London are narrow and congested, and there are less than 300,000 permanent residents.
In the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the streets are not only wide, but also have a permanent population of more than one million.
Even Paris, the most prosperous city in Europe, has a population less than half of the capital of the Great Zhou, which further illustrates the wealth and prosperity of the Great Zhou.
What's more, the food!
The food of Da Zhou is nothing less than the thing that attracts this group of scientific and technological personnel the most.
Especially after Kang Er took them to the streets and alleys of the capital last year, they fell in love with the food of Da Zhou.
Because of this, most of them choose to stay in Da Zhou.
Among them, there is naturally a good salary to play a role in it.
On the seventh day, Zhang Lingyang hosted a banquet to entertain the best of these scientific and technological personnel.
Among them, Dr. William, as the best of the best, was naturally invited to participate in Zhang Lingyang's banquet.
In fact, Dr. William and the others were not there to eat and drink, nor did they want to see Zhang Lingyang, the emperor of the Great Zhou, but wanted to ask Zhang Lingyang some questions closely related to themselves.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have five flavors.
Dr. William, who was already blushing a little from drinking, got up and saluted Zhang Lingyang and asked, "Your Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, my name is William, and I was a member of the Royal Academy of Physicians of England before.
Last year, I heard that there were pills for the treatment of the Black Death in the Great Zhou, so I came to the Great Zhou in the hope of getting permission from His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou to let me see the whole process of pill making! ”
"This ......" After listening to Dr. William's request, Zhang Lingyang hesitated.
At this time, Sun Sheng whispered in Zhang Lingyang's ear and reminded: "Long live the master, the slave heard that this Dr. William was a doctor of medicine when he was in England, and it seems that he also developed a drug to treat the Black Death, and the test was successful on that little mouse called it." ”
The situation of this group of scientific and technological personnel, Wilson had already written a special resume and sent it to the imperial study.
It's just that Zhang Lingyang hasn't read the resumes of several people, so he doesn't know much about Dr. William's past.
And Sun Sheng, as the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant eunuch, has no other skills, but he never dares not to remember the things that should be recorded.
"Oh?" Hearing Sun Sheng say this, Zhang Lingyang's eyes couldn't help narrowing, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Dr. William and said, "It's not impossible for you to make a proposal, but I have a condition, only if you agree, I can allow you to go." ”
"Your Majesty the Emperor, please speak!" Dr. William said this, but in his heart, there was another voice: "As I expected, it is not so simple to see the production process of pills. ”
Zhang Lingyang smiled and said, "I not only agree with you to visit the pill production process, but also provide you with the formula. But the premise is that you have to sign an agreement with Da Zhou.
You yourself have to stay in Da Zhou for ten years, and during these ten years, you can exchange all kinds of information with Da Zhou's doctors, but you can't leak it.
After ten years, you can take the recipe of the pill back to Europe, and I will not hinder how to use it.
But if this prescription has spread to Europe within ten years, I have reason to suspect that you leaked it.
I wonder what you think? ”
"His Majesty's proposal is very reasonable!" Dr. William said.
Ten years is not a short time, but if it is a long time, it is not very long.
For example, Dr. William's previous drug trial had taken three or four years to successfully test it on mice.
If clinical trials are carried out, the performance of the drug is determined, trial production is carried out, and finally large-scale manufacturing, the total time will be no less than ten years.
Mass manufacturing does not mean that the price of the drug will decrease.
On the contrary, the price of drugs should be very high at the beginning, after all, it is not for the capitalists who invested to recoup the cost of their investments in the near future.
In other words, if Dr. William is given another ten years, the medicine he developed will be much more expensive than Da Zhou's current pills.
Therefore, Dr. William thought that it would be better to stay in the ten years of the Great Zhou, during which he would not only be able to know the completed prescription in the shortest possible time, but also be able to improve the prescription to develop cheaper medicines.
And what Zhang Lingyang thought in his heart was also extremely simple, that is, he wanted to keep a talent like Dr. William in Da Zhou for a few more years, so he said that he would sign an agreement with Dr. William.
In the eyes of both parties, this agreement is in their own favor and therefore there is no disagreement.
After Sun Sheng drafted an agreement, Dr. William stepped forward to sign his name and press his handprint.
Seeing this, the corners of Zhang Lingyang's mouth finally showed a smile like a thousand-year-old fox......
