Chang'an City in the first month of the year is filled with joy. In the end, Kyoto has a much larger floating population than locals. Many merchants didn't even rest on New Year's Day, and even launched many discounts. This is all learned from the leader of the service industry in the capital - Wanlilou.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, a group of gorgeously dressed wealthy nobles sat in a box in Wanlilou to talk about the various meteorological changes in Chang'an City and Datang in the past two years. Naturally, the topic quickly shifted to the most sensational aspect of the year, the Pharmacopoeia.

"Whoever heals the sick must be calm, have no desires or desires, and first have great compassion and vow to save the suffering of the soul. If there is a person who comes to ask for help, he should not ask whether he is rich or poor, whether he is old or young, whether he is a friend or friend, who is foolish and wise, and who is the same as his relatives. Nor should we look ahead and worry about the good and the bad...... But if you are ashamed and compassionate, you must not have a single thought! ”

"Every time I recite the words of Miao Ying Zhenren, I feel that the whole person is much more energetic. This feeling is not only for me, but even when Liyan received the "Pharmacopoeia", he was rejuvenated after reading it! ”

"What rejuvenation? It's just a rumor, it's really so amazing, and the "Pharmacopoeia" is not crazy! ”

"Don't you think no one wants to buy it? I just can't afford it. The gold-bound version of the pharmacopoeia costs 10,000 yuan in one volume! The twelve volumes add up, a full 120,000! Who can afford to buy such extravagant books? The content of the lite version is the same, but the large volume is divided into small volumes, the color picture has changed to a monochrome picture, and the layout is slightly different. A set of sixty books adds up, and it's only sixty. Those people in the apricot forest, no matter how poor they are, they can still get it for sixty times. ”

"This is also Sun Shenxian has such a good deed, sixty times for such a beautiful book, I'm afraid the cost is more than that!"

"That's not all, the Royal Library, I've already let out the words. There are always 200 sets of short-cover "Pharmacopoeia" in the library, as long as you are interested in learning, you can go to the library to borrow books to copy. It is said that there is a poor student in Wubenfang, who writes a good hand, and it took seven days to copy a volume, and he sold 500 wen when he went out! According to his own words, the paper and ink are all provided by the museum, and only one cost is charged, which adds up to less than 20 wen. In seven days, I earned 480 yuan, so I can earn more than two times in a month, and the pen is stronger than ordinary small merchants! ”

"It's a good thing, this is also an extra way with those poor students! It's a pity that there is only the "Pharmacopoeia", if it is ......"

"How can it be that there is only the Pharmacopoeia?! I have heard people say that in the royal library, all the works of the world should be collected in one library, and the whole world should be collected in one furnace. Nowadays, only Huashan printing has been collected, and there are hundreds of classics. As long as you are willing to work hard, anyone can go in and copy books. Those students who can't afford to buy books can read those classics for free by paying the cost of paper and ink. And the museum also provides a meal every day at lunch, which is enough for four dishes and one soup! After careful calculation, the paper money is not even enough for food! If the family is so poor that they can't afford to pay for paper and ink, they can also copy the book and sell it in the library, there will always be a greedy ...... for cheapness."

A group of turtles from the south of the Yangtze River sighed in their hearts: Such a big deal is really a royal atmosphere!

The young man who looked like the proprietor spoke: "Uncle Yuan and all the brothers have worked hard all the way, and they drink this cup to the full!" ”

The Yuan family also has a very strong foundation in the south of the Yangtze River, and there have even been emperors in their ancestors. However, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it could only be regarded as a medium-sized family. For Datang, they originally had a similar attitude as the five surnames and Qiwang, after all, the speed at which the city head changed the Great King Banner was too fast in recent years, and if one was not careful, the whole family might be unlucky because of the problem of standing in line.

But I didn't expect that this Tang Dynasty would even stand firm in the turmoil of fighting for the throne. What's even more terrifying is that His Royal Highness the King of Chu, whose rumors are so outrageous that people can't believe it, has done several major things in a row in just two years. not only scared off the barbarians, but also knocked down the Buddhism with his hands, and slapped down a thousand-year-old family.

Who is not afraid of such strength? But in the same way, thinking about it from another angle, whether to stick it on the Tang Dynasty with such strength or not, it seems that it is no longer the turn of the family to be the master. You'll have to ask if they want it?!

Under the impact of this contradictory thinking, the old imperial doctor in Jiangnan, Mr. Zhen Liyan, suddenly received the hardcover version of the "Zhenguan Pharmacopoeia" inscribed by Sun Simiao. According to those who were lucky enough to see the pharmacopoeia with their own eyes, it was simply a fetish! There are few people who are qualified to read it, and it is only suitable to be offered high in the ancestral hall as an offering!

A lot of good news was connected to the stimulus, and the Yuan family finally decided to go out of the mountain, and Yuan Zhongchun took a few more promising disciples of the family to come to Chang'an and defect to Xiao Yu, hoping to catch the big ship of Datang sooner or later. Why do you want to pick the Xiao family? Because Xiao Yu's second son Xiao Kai is also from Huashanmen!

The person who received the Yuan family and his party was Xiao Yu's eldest son Xiao Rui, although he mixed very well, but compared to his lucky younger brother, it was not worth mentioning. When he mentioned this, Xiao Rui was depressed and wanted to get himself drunk.

"It is also the little nephew himself who is not that blessed, and His Majesty asked the people to choose to send a good family to Huashan to study art. The father also tried his best to let the little nephew go, but the elders of the clan confined the little nephew at home on the grounds that the eldest son needed to be in charge of the household. The key is that the little nephew's family was also blindfolded at the beginning, and he felt that he would have to work hard for at least a few years to learn art in Huashan...... Alas, the second brother didn't want to go, but his father forced him to go. Who would have thought that after only one year in Huashan, he would become the coach of the East Palace's pro-army?! ”

Yuan Zhongchun was very surprised: "The East Palace is pro-army? The old man heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led his pro-army to the sea......"

Hi! Xiao Rui waved his hand and explained: "Uncle Shi only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. The soldiers and horses of the East Palace, known as the ten rates. The prince's left and right guard rate, the prince's left and right Siyu rate, and the prince's left and right clearing rate, these six rates are only in name, and they are actually under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. The prince's real personal soldiers only have four rates: the prince's left and right prison rate, and the prince's left and right internal rate. These four rates are based on the establishment, and each rate is about 1,000 people. The prince escorted the Wang family to sea this time, and only brought Zuo Nei with a thousand people. The remaining three rates are still in Chang'an, training every day......"

"Daily training? My Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses have a drill every five days, which is nearly half of the seven days of the Sui Dynasty, how can the East Palace dare to exercise every day? Aren't you afraid that the sergeant will make trouble? ”

Cut! The corners of Xiao Rui's mouth hooked a strange arc, and he looked at the group of Jiangnan turtles opposite with a very superior gaze, and said that he had heard Erlang talk about this joint before, otherwise, now he would feel incredible like these people.

Feeling the strong curiosity of the people opposite, Xiao Rui raised his head and poured a glass of wine, and slowly spoke......
