Chapter 18: The Miracle Medicine That Shocked the World
"It's terrible to be uneducated!" Sun Wei couldn't help but sigh.
"Huh?" Xie Xu, Xie Xiaoshu, and Xie Yunpeng all looked at Sun Wei differently when they heard the words, and the meaning was very obvious, compared to Xie Yunpeng, who graduated from the University of Bristol with a bachelor's degree, Sun Wei, who had only studied in private school for a few days, was really an uneducated person, and now he said that he was so thick-skinned that he was at home.
"Isn't that right?" Sun Wei, who was especially unconscious, felt that everyone's eyes were very inexplicable, and asked.
"Ahem...... No, you're right. Xie Xu was directly defeated by Sun Wei's shamelessness, and quickly changed the topic and said to Xie Yunpeng: "There is a saying among our people, saying that it is seventy-three eighty-four, and the king of Hades does not call himself to go, which means that the old man is seventy-three and eighty-four years old, the Empress Dowager Cixi has passed the seventy-three hurdle, and the next hurdle is eighty-four, Ah Wei means that the Empress Dowager Cixi wants to implement a constitutional monarchy after a hundred years. ”
"Is that okay?" Xie Yunpeng said in surprise.
"Why not, it's like King Louis XV of France said, after I die, who cares about the flood." Sun Wei took over and said: "There is no doubt that the Empress Dowager Cixi is greedy for power, otherwise she would not have imprisoned Emperor Guangxu in the Wuxu year, so her preparation for the constitution is prepared for posthumous death, but she did not expect that those royal nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were definitely more greedy for power than her, and they would never implement a constitutional monarchy after her death, of course, it may also be that she is unwilling to face this problem, just like an ostrich who only thinks that it is safe to bury her head in the sand and not see it when she encounters danger." ”
"How do I feel like you've changed a different person after this injury, whether it's speaking or acting style, it's completely changed." Xie Xiaoshu took advantage of the brief distraction between Xie Xu's father and son, and whispered to Sun Wei.
"I call this rebirth, just like a phoenix, nirvana reborn." Sun Wei is just a soul crossing, and his whole body is still the original body, so he is naturally not afraid of other people's suspicions.
"Even if what you say is correct, but how can you overthrow the imperial court with just a few broken guns of the revolutionary party, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was stronger than them back then, and it was not wiped out by Zeng Wenzhenggong's Hunan army." Xie Xu accepted Sun Wei's hypothesis, but he still did not believe that Sun Wen's revolutionary party could overthrow the Manchus.
"Don't we have a saying that time changes, the reason why the Taiping Rebellion failed was that they only cared about burning, killing and looting, not only did they not win the approval of the gentry class, but even the people were afraid of them; The second is the new policy implemented by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in which the establishment of the police system and the abolition of the imperial examination were good things for the benefit of the country and the people, but they really infringed on the interests of the gentry.
Although we have pursued the concept of the whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's minister, but we actually promote the imperial power of the county, and the villages below the county have always been managed by the local gentry, these gentry with their rich family resources and huge clan population can always cultivate a group of imperial examination talents to consolidate their original rule in their hometown.
However, since the implementation of the new policy in the imperial court, not only has the imperial examination system been abolished on which the gentry relied for their survival, but also the police have been set up to take over the gentry's right to manage the countryside in the hands of the Western government. Now the implementation of the preparatory constitution by the imperial court can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the hearts of the gentry class, but when the gentry find out that the constitution of the imperial court is a fake constitution and really take power, the contradictions will inevitably explode in an all-round way, and then Sun Wen's revolutionary party will be like a fire on the grassland in autumn, and this spark is enough to start a prairie fire. Sun Wei explained.
"Even if, as you said, the imperial court is implementing a fake constitution, it will be nine years before the conflict erupts, and your preparation will be four or five years later, is this a little too early?" Although Xie Xu was asking questions, he could be regarded as agreeing with Sun Wei's assumptions.
"There are so many talented people in the world, we can think of things that others can naturally think of, everyone can accept the nine-year constitution This deadline is that the Empress Dowager Cixi has ruled our Qing Dynasty for nearly half a century, and its ruling forces are deep-rooted, and the control of all forces is also perfect, and people who are idle dare not jump out at this time.
The second is that no one will believe that the Empress Dowager Cixi can really live to be eighty-four years old, and she may really live to this age if she is a seventy-three-year-old lady who only raises flowers and makes grass every day, but she has to deal with a lot of state affairs every day, and she also has to consider some things that balance power.
As soon as the Empress Dowager Cixi died, the gentry from all over the country who were preparing to set up an advisory bureau would immediately apply to the imperial court for a constitution, and the Manchu nobles who had just gained power would naturally not agree, and the contradictions between the local gentry and the imperial court would erupt, and it was inevitable that the local gentry would turn to support the revolutionary party under this contradiction. Sun Wei said.
"Although what you say is reasonable, but this is only your assumption, if the conflict between the local gentry and the imperial court breaks out after five years, won't your plan be leaked?" Xie Xu asked.
"The things in it are not as serious as the second brother thought, I heard that there was another flood in my hometown some time ago, and the imperial court not only did not open a warehouse for disaster relief, but increased taxes, and even the middle-class families could not continue, and they took refuge and fled the famine, so I am ready to take advantage of the famine to buy fields in my hometown, and then use these fields to form a militia group, and I will let the outstanding students who graduated from the orphanage continue their studies, and the cadets who study military will be assigned to the militia group, As for the female students who are studying nursing, they will be assigned to the hospital that I am about to create. Sun Wei explained.
"Uncle, although foreigners no longer use male nurses, it seems that there is no precedent for using female nurses in our country, and I am afraid that you will attract criticism if you do this." Xie Yunpeng said a little worriedly.
"Criticism is inevitable, but in our country, there has been no criticism in addition to the old and the new, just like the earlier railways and telegraphs, in the end, they are not gradually accepted by the world, and even sought after, the use of female nurses is still worthy of your uncle's criticism." Sun Wei said.
"You're going to run an orphanage, you're going to buy land in your hometown, and now you're going to run a hospital, so much money we have?" If there is anyone who knows Sun Wei's family property best, of course, it must be Xie Xiaoshu, she knows Sun Wei even more than Sun Wei's legitimate wife, so she has the most say in this regard.
"As I said, bread will be there, milk will be there, everything will be there." Sun Wei pretended to be deep and said.
"Who asked you about bread and milk, I asked you where did you get the money to start orphanages, hospitals, and buy land, and can you still make money?" Xie Xiaoshu pushed Sun Wei dissatisfiedly and asked.
"I'm going to set up a pharmaceutical factory in the near future to produce a miracle drug that is about to shock the world." Sun Wei said a little mysteriously.
"Miracle medicine? Can your elixir bring the dead back to life? Xie Xiaoshu expressed twelve points of doubt about Sun Wei's words.
"Naturally, my medicine can't bring the dead back to life, but it can revive a man." Sun Wei said.
"Uncle, you don't want to sell strong yang pills, do you, this will eat the dead?" Xie Yunpeng asked in surprise.
"Ah Wei, even if you put down the detective's face and don't sell this medicine, but this medicine has long been rotten on the street, except for a few particularly famous pharmacies, it is rarely credible, I think you should dispel this idea as soon as possible." Xie Xiaoshu explained.
Sun Wei has lived in this time and space for more than half a month, although most of his time is spent in a hospital bed, but through chatting with the visitors who ushered in the delivery, he also learned some about the social situation of this era, the kind of Jianghu Langzhong who sold strong pills everywhere on TV in the previous life only existed in remote villages, and a metropolis like Shanghai with open folk customs would not work, and even the people at the bottom only recognized regular pharmacies when they usually bought medicines.
Sun Wei looked at everyone's skeptical eyes, and knew that they had misunderstood, thinking that he really wanted to learn from Jianghu Langzhong to buy medicine to deceive people, and quickly explained: "Where do you all think of it, the medicine I want to sell is different from our traditional Chinese medicine in terms of mechanism of action, and it is also different from the Spanish fly of foreigners, but a synthetic chemical synthetic drug." This medicine does not increase sexual desire like ordinary male enhancement pills and spring pills, but aims to reduce men's excitement during intercourse, so as to prolong the duration of intercourse, and it is absolutely immediate for general impotence and premature ejaculation, and there are no side effects. ”
"Uncle, you can't be lying, why haven't I heard of this medicine when I studied in the UK for so many years?" Xie Yunpeng asked.
"Because this drug was inadvertently synthesized by a chemist, even the chemist himself didn't know the true efficacy of this chemical" Sun Wei naturally couldn't tell them that this drug was verified and widely used by later generations, otherwise it would not be a matter of distrust, but would completely treat himself as a psychopath, so he used the usual trick of the traverser to push the matter on those unknown mysterious people.
"How is this possible, since the chemist you said doesn't know the efficacy of this medicine, then why does he want to synthesize this medicine?" Xie Xu and Xie Xiaoshu didn't believe that there would be such a thing, but in view of Sun Wei's previous introduction of this medicine was too leaky, even a woman like Xie Xiaoshu who lived in the metropolis was too shy, and finally Xie Xu, who was a man, asked.
"Second brother, you don't understand the chemistry of foreigners, so naturally you can't understand the reason." Sun Wei turned to Xie Yunpeng as he spoke, and asked: "Yunpeng, you are studying physics, physics and chemistry have always been inseparable, I think your knowledge of chemistry is also very good, you should know that chemical synthetic drugs have no real efficacy before pharmacological experiments?" ”
