Chapter 243: The Flame of the Great Book Civilization
Li Daoyuan's "Notes on the Book of Water" and "Yu Gong" both have detailed descriptions of the water of the Jialing River and the Han River in it, that is, theoretically speaking, the Jiahan (Jialing River to Han River) Canal is feasible.
Seeing that this year's winter wheat has basically been scrapped, Zhu Changhao plans to start construction of this "Jiahan Canal" after Henghai has transported grain from Siam, Nanzhang, and South Vietnam this time.
When the time comes, a 100-meter-wide waterway will be dug out of the gap in the Jialing River in Yangpingguan, and then the water of the Jialing River will finally directly enter the ancient river channel to attract new living water to the Han River. In addition, the waterway from the Han River to the Jialing River and from the Jialing River to the middle of the river has also been opened.
This matter can be said to be meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future.
Zhu Changhao took a look at the waterway of the Han River in the afternoon, and saw that it was still early, so he went directly out of the city and went westward to the Royal Medical University of Daming to see how the medicine was doing, after all, this is another new cash cow in the palace.
In addition, there is also good news, that is, on the border of the Han River for 3,000 miles, all grain is exempt from taxes today, after all, the drought is nationwide in the Ming Dynasty, and the people's crops are not harvested, how to pay taxes to the government!
The agricultural tax on the 3,000-mile border of the Han River is not even 1 million per year, but there are at least 10 million people on the 3,000-mile border, that is, everyone has a dime of silver on their heads.
If a tenant is so poor, six taels of silver a year can make a family of six live, that is to say, a person is one tael of silver a year. This dime of silver is more than a month's worth of food, clothing, housing and transportation for a family's strong labor.
It can be seen from this that the agricultural tax of the Ming Dynasty is really fucking high, but Zhu Changhao doesn't care, the profit of breaking silver, patterned silver, and stamping it into silver dollars after melting it every month is also thirty one million, and Zhu Changhao can afford the silver.
This is a small step for Zhu Changhao to dig out money, but a big step for the people of the three thousand miles of the Han River to reduce their burden.
Getting back to the point, Zhu Changhao took twenty-eight people, as well as the big housekeeper, and walked towards the Daming Royal Medical University in civilian clothes, just when he saw that Lao Dao was guiding those students in the back, carrying out the practice of looking and hearing, and by the way, he also practiced guò to distinguish between the symptoms and treat them.
Zhu Changhao entered the school inside, this old way obviously saw it, but he was cutting the pulse, so he didn't stand up and salute, the big housekeeper Uncle Wang was a little angry, and he was about to go up to find the old way, Zhu Changhao shook his head.
For about three minutes, Lao Dao immediately wrote down a prescription, and then said, "This is obviously a deficiency of the spleen, and it is necessary to strengthen the spleen, because this spleen is the root of the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys." In this, the liver is the main wood, the kidney is the main water, the lungs are the gold, and the heart is the main fire. There is it in the Neijing, the liver and the heart are wood and fire, such as the liver hides blood to help the heart; The heart gives birth to the spleen is the fire and the earth, and the yang energy of the heart can ask the spleen; The spleen and lungs are native gold, such as the essence of the spleen and the water valley can benefit the lungs; The lungs and kidneys are gold and water, and if the lung qi is cleared, the jin qi will go down to nourish the kidneys; The kidney and liver are aquatic wood, such as the kidney storing essence to nourish the yin blood of the liver and so on.
You see that you look out of breath now, your face is pale, that is, there is a problem with your lungs, this lung, as long as you strengthen the spleen, it will have an effect, after all, the ancestors said, 'the stone of the mountain, you can attack the jade', so, when you want to see the disease, you must balance the yin and yang in the human body, the five elements are mutually reinforcing each other, and you must be flexible.
Okay, I'll go out for a while, Wu Langzhong, you come down and preside over the diagnosis later. ”
After speaking, Lao Dao greeted Zhu Changhao, and was about to greet him, Zhu Changhao immediately said in a secret way, "Lao Dao, Gu is a private visit, don't make a big gift." ”
Lao Dao was stunned when he heard this voice, and then looked at Zhu Changhao's expression was so hot, after all, it was a secret technique. No, the old way seems to be a boar in heat, and suddenly I saw a sow walking on the side of the road. With that blazing eyes, Zhu Changhao involuntarily glanced at the crotch of the old way and found that there was no small tent.
Just when Zhu Changhao was still thinking that Lao Dao's expression was so ambiguous, Lao Dao had already walked up, and with a "please" sound, Zhu Changhao was invited out of the school.
In the office of the president of the medical university, after Zhu Changhao entered, after Lao Dao made him a cup of tea with his own hands, he didn't say much, and then took out a big teapot and handed it to Uncle Wang, asking him to pour tea for the prince's guards outside.
Uncle Wang didn't refuse, picked up the big teapot, went to the corridor outside, and inside the wing, and asked the chief of the guard to pour tea for the brothers, and Uncle Wang immediately returned to the office of the big sacrificial wine.
Lao Dao, who was talking happily with Zhu Changhao, saw that Uncle Wang came back after going out, and immediately understood that the big housekeeper beside the prince had not yet drunk tea. He quietly built a bowl of tea for Uncle Wang and put it on the small table next to him.
Zhu Changhao saw Lao Dao's actions, and nodded with satisfaction, Lao Dao has no power face, and can treat everyone equally, this is really what Taoism says go with the flow.
Of course, this is what Zhu Changhao approves of in his heart, but the discussion between the two is still going on unhurriedly.
"Lord Wang, this pharmaceutical workshop, Poor Dao plans to build a big mansion in that place in Hanwangtai and open it as a separate pharmaceutical workshop, and also, the students of our medical university, for pharmacology, especially the mutual restraint between medicinal herbs, can be demonstrated in the process of medicine. Therefore, there must be a large site, the Hanwangtai side is sparsely populated, the terrain is flat, and the drug preparation zuò, pill cultivation, the development of a variety of pills, and by the way, the compilation of pharmacological scriptures, Tang Ge. Therefore, in the past hundred years, this pharmaceutical workshop must be built separately, and Hanwangtai is good. ”
When Zhu Changhao heard this, he was very satisfied, and he also said, "Well, what you said is very right, in this world, no one is not sick. Therefore, the scale of this pharmaceutical workshop will only get bigger and bigger in the future, and it is also a wise move to build a pharmaceutical workshop in Hanwangtai. It's just that what this king wants to warn you is that the medicinal materials must be true, and the efficacy of the pills must be true. It is not allowed to use radish to pretend to be ginseng, cat urine to pretend to be tiger urine, and other things that pit people. Therefore, Lao Dao, you must formulate certain operating laws in the pharmaceutical workshop, once there is shoddy, fake and real, and the process is not in place, the punishment must be strengthened.
The pharmaceutical law you have formulated will be legislated by the royal government in conjunction with the Dali Temple, as well as the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department. The things that the person eats, the things that save his life, can't be sloppy, sloppiness is a life. ”
Lao Dao listened to the words of the prince, and also nodded, after all, the sky and the earth are big, and human life is the greatest.
came down, Zhu Changhao directly wrote a tiaozi, and asked Lao Dao to hand it over to the newly appointed squire of the land and resources yamen, Li Zhizao, and ask him to approve the land for the new pharmaceutical workshop.
Lao Dao took the tiaozi in his hand, and Zhu Changhao said, "Let's go, let's take a look inside the school." ”
At dusk in early April, the sun was like the old man's tintin, and it was no longer so strong, relying on the reflection of the clouds in the sky, the earth was bright.
In front of the Royal Medical Science Hall is a school field paved with coal ash slag from the military weapons superintendent, and the students in the school will run in the morning, practice the five bird plays, and strengthen their bodies.
Behind the school field, a house is the students' school, next to the clinic is the sitting hall, next to the clinic, is the pharmacy, there is a stove for boiling medicine, behind is the students' dormitory, and in the school, the master, doctor, Langzhong, and other faculty and staff in the school live.
In addition, in the small garden gate to the west of the school, there are some girls, these are mainly trained for future battlefield soldiers to take care of those wounded soldiers.
Zhu Changhao looked at it for a while, and the junior students had not yet discovered that this tall and tall young scholar was Lord Rui, but some of the students who had received relief from the prince still recognized Zhu Changhao as the prince of Da Mingrui.
All of a sudden, many students knelt down and shouted three thousand years old, and Zhu Changhao immediately asked everyone to excuse themselves, sat on the eaves steps of the dormitory, and talked with the students.
After all, it is the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" that Zhu Changhao is now cultivating, and the "Neijing" is the founding patriarch of traditional Chinese medicine, much earlier than the "Shennong Herbal Sutra". Besides, "Neijing" is the source of traditional Chinese medicine, many traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods, medicinal material selection, there are not so many rules and regulations behind, this classic, if the study is accurate, in place, can give people new enlightenment in cure.
Zhu Changhao said something he had learned from the study of the "Neijing", and he was impressed by the students inside, and even the old Taoist admired it.
Dinner was served in the cafeteria in the medical university hall, and the cook knew that the prince was here today, and the food, although the usual amount had not changed, but the dishes were more exquisite.
After dinner, under the starry night fire, when I returned to the palace, I heard Xu Fu say, "Lord, the "Yongle Ceremony" from Jinling has arrived, and it is in the printing workshop of the palace. ”
"Well, then the king will go to the printing workshop."
In the printing workshop, Wang Zhengya, the supervisor of the workshop, was holding a list of books and scrolls, and said to the prince, "The Yongle Canon this time has a total of 22,937 volumes (the table of contents accounts for 60 volumes), 11,095 volumes, about 370 million words, and a collection of 8,756 kinds of ancient and modern books.
Also, Lord Wang, in the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), Sejong appointed Gao Gong, Qu Jingchun, Zhang Juzheng and others to be responsible for the rerecording of the "Yongle Grand Canon". The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites presided over the "Examination of Names of Names", and selected one hundred and nine good scholars. The Inner Government allocated painters, calenders, papermakers, etc. The Salary, Gwangrokusa Temple, and Hanlin Temple were also responsible for the supply of charcoal, sake, rice, and "moon rice", respectively. The re-recording process has officially begun.
At the beginning of the rerecording, the minister Xu Jie thought that copying tens of thousands of copies of the "Great Canon" was a huge project, and there was no need to stick to the original style and calligraphy. Later, he checked the "Great Canon" and found that if the layout changed, the large and small characters and graphics on it would have to change, so it was better to copy it as it was.
The writers of the re-recording of the Yongle Dadian were required to copy three leaves (pages) per person every day, and the re-recording took six years and was not finally completed until April of the first year of the reign of Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty (1567). ”
