Chapter 63 Body Armor and Antibiotics
Although the ancient emperor was the lord of the world, he was still an ancient man in the final analysis, and he still couldn't jump out of the limitations of his own era, and he couldn't understand the various technologies of later generations.
High-tech products like cameras were a rare item until the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now they are taken out in the Great Song Dynasty, and these ancients who are more than 1,000 years earlier are even more difficult to accept.
If ordinary ancient people saw their photos for the first time, they would probably be half scared to death, and they would think that their souls were locked in them, and compared with those people, Lao Zhao still had some level.
When Zhao Kuangyin, who was sitting in the main hall, saw the photo, he was just panicked for that moment, and soon, his eyes gradually changed from fear to curiosity, picked up the photo with both hands, and examined it carefully.
is worthy of being an emperor, and there must always be something extraordinary.
The expression on Lao Zhao's face changed from fear to curiosity, and then from curiosity to joy, and soon he couldn't put down the photo in his hand.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, as an emperor, the most hope is to be able to live for generations, especially his own portrait, can be admired by 10,000 people, so the emperors of all dynasties like to seek some famous painters to paint for themselves, highlighting the prosperity of the country at the same time, but also to be able to leave their own majesty to future generations to worship.
However, the Chinese art of painting has completely vanished this dream -- traditional Chinese painting is not like Western painting, which emphasizes truthfulness, and Chinese painting emphasizes a god-likeness.
So we see that the portraits of the emperors of the past seem to be carved out of the same mold; Qin Shi Huang's beard became Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he grew more, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed his hat and became Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang when he painted his face a little longer, and Genghis Khan became the king of the steppe when he was elongated.
Even in Chinese textbooks, we can see the painters' 'superb' painting skills; Li Bai's beard is shortened and becomes Su Shi, and Su Shi raises his head at a 45-degree angle to look up at the sky, and he becomes Du Fu.
Even if the emperor was not very satisfied with this similar portrait, he couldn't say anything, after all, the painters of the pre-Qin period painted like this, and now they paint like this, which is to respect the ancient rites of the pre-Qin period.
Zhao Kuangyin also found a painter to paint a portrait of himself, and the portrait was framed in Tianzhang Pavilion, Lao Zhao was very satisfied with the portrait of himself, so he also rewarded the painter who painted with 100 yuan of money.
But now I see this photo in my hand, and the portrait that the painter painted for himself is simply a heaven and an underground, this photo completely subverts Lao Zhao's definition of portrait, the snow-white negative, printed with his majestic appearance, even the clothes are buttoned in the slightest, there is no difference, Lao Zhao has been hard to imagine, if future generations can see this photo, how they will bow and worship.
"Good, good." Lao Zhao excitedly said three good words in a row, and finally calmed down his emotions, and ordered the palace maids around him to find a brocade box and put this precious photo into it.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin raised his head again and saw the young man of His Royal Highness, his eyes were already full of kindness and appreciation, only to hear him smile and open his mouth to Jiang Yin and say: "This camera is really magical, it can actually set a portrait on paper, such an extraordinary portrait, I saw it for the first time today, and I am very happy in my heart, come to someone~"
An old eunuch under the steps next to Lao Zhao hurriedly stood up, "What does Your Majesty command~"
"Hmm." Zhao Kuangyin still had a smiling expression, "Gonggong Cai, declare my will, reward this overseas stranger Jiang Yinian, the founder of the Jin Dynasty, give 300 households of food, 100 horses of silk, 100 taels of silver, and give the title of 'Overseas Holy Doctor', which is classified as the imperial doctor." ”
Lao Zhao's sub-seal can be described as 'perfect', not only to the fief, but also to the population of 300 households, as well as silk and silver, and finally to the job, although it is within the imperial medical system, there is a title given by the emperor, this status is naturally one of the best among the imperial doctors, it can be said that Jiang Yin's future is arranged frankly, and there is a bright future.
"Your Majesty, the grass people still have overseas treasures that have not been given to Your Majesty, and after the Weichen is finished, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to make a decision." Jiang Yin didn't accept Lao Zhao's intention at all at this moment, and interrupted.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was sitting on the high platform at this moment, was very curious, he didn't remember how long he hadn't felt this way, since he became the emperor, no one in the world dared to speak against his own intentions, and everyone would become submissive and cautious when facing themselves, lest they say something that displeased them.
But the young man who was in His Highness at this moment, his tone was rarely humble, nor did he slap his beard, and everything he said was so neither humble nor arrogant, as if he was sitting opposite himself, in an equal conversation.
"Oh, bold! How dare you be disobedient" His Royal Highness's ceremonial officials and eunuchs couldn't help it at the moment, and even interrupted the emperor's will, and the kid in front of him was simply lawless.
Lao Zhao's eyes narrowed for a moment, and then he waved his hand to stop the mouth of the ceremonial official.
"Okay~ I want to see what other magical things you have that can open my eyes again."
Hearing Lao Zhao's promise, Jiang Yin was not polite, and took out a black piece of clothing from the suitcase, only to see him pick up the clothes, and said loudly: "Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were taken captive, and my Central Plains Dynasty has always wanted to be ashamed, but my Huaxia Erlang fought with those barbarians on the battlefield, and there was a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice. Body armor', but to prevent the sword from cutting, even the sharpest sword can not pierce into this body armor, and please look at it. ”
Jiang Yin's words shocked Lao Zhao instantly, and when he said that there was a kind of clothing that could prevent swords from being cut, Lao Zhao almost stood up from the imperial chair.
The hostile relationship between the Central Plains and the Khitan has lasted for decades, and the two sides are almost incompatible, but the Khitan is now supporting the Northern Han, so there is no large-scale war with the Central Plains regime.
However, no large-scale war does not mean that there is no war, on the border line of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the nomadic cavalry of the Khitan will often lead the team to harass and plunder the Central Plains, they will not be merciful and only rob things, they are bloodthirsty barbarians will kill, and the soldiers on the front line will often come with news of the loss of hundreds of people.
The soldiers of the Central Plains can't beat the barbarians who have been on horseback since they were children, and Zhao Kuangyin can't change this, but now I heard that there is a magical clothing that can protect the soldiers from being cut by the sword, how can Lao Zhao not be surprised.
But before Lao Zhao could speak, Jiang Yin, who was standing under His Royal Highness, continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, Wechen also has a medicine here, called antibiotics, which can basically protect all injured soldiers from the threat of death"
