It's been raining in the swamp province for the past few days. Zhao Yao couldn't go out to do things, so he had to go back to the Han Palace.

To be honest, Zhao Yao was reluctant to go back to the palace, because as soon as he went back, there were a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with. No, as soon as he came back, he was "racked" by Wen Daoji and a few of them to go to the court.

These days, Zhao Yao has been busy outside, busy with the court, and has accumulated a lot of things. Wen Daoji can handle ordinary things on weekdays, but when it comes to important matters, Wen Daoji and they can't call the shots, and they have to deal with Zhao Yao.

In the early court, the ministers had a bunch of things to tell him, and there were still a lot of things waiting for Zhao Yao after the court, which made him very big. Fortunately, the cabinet has preliminarily handled the matter, and finally waited for Zhao Yao's approval. Even so, Zhao Yao, the king of Han, had to look at the preliminary approval of the cabinet before making a final decision.

After listening to the Cabinet's report on the events of this period, it was already noon. Zhao Yao hurriedly ran to find He Lianfang to have lunch together.

Eat mushroom hot pot at noon today. Mushrooms are very common in Lingnan, but not many people eat them. In Lingnan, only the poor eat mushrooms, and the rich don't.

It's strange that mushrooms are delicious, but they are only eaten by poor people. Rich people don't eat mushrooms, mainly because they are afraid of death. Although the mushrooms are delicious, they are poisonous, and many people eat the mushrooms to death, so the people of Lingnan will not eat the mushrooms easily until they have to.

Zhao Yao has the memory of Zhao Yao in his dream, he knows which fungi are non-toxic and can be eaten, and which are poisonous and cannot be eaten. He also knows how to eat mushrooms, so he doesn't have to worry about poisoning by eating mushrooms.

"The non-toxic mushrooms can be artificially planted, and when the time comes, they will be sold inland and the Western Regions, and they will definitely make a lot of money." Zhao Yao ate the mushrooms in his mouth, thinking about the business of the mushrooms in his mind, "This mushroom can also be air-dried, and if you do dried mushrooms, it will taste good." ”

He Lianfang saw that Zhao Yao had not forgotten his business experience when he was eating, and shook his head helplessly: "This swamp mansion is full of mushrooms, and few people eat them, you still want to grow mushrooms." ”

"Second uncle, after the trade conference is over, the mushrooms will become fragrant and sweet, and the mushrooms on the mountain will not be enough to eat, so they will have to be planted." The reason why Zhao Yao has not announced how to eat mushrooms now is that he wants to make a wonderful appearance at the trade conference. When those foreigners eat the mushrooms, they will definitely be captured by the deliciousness of the mushrooms, and the mushrooms will be sold well at that time.

"You're going to sell mushrooms at a trade conference?"

"It's a good thing, it has to be sold." A sly smile rose at the corner of Zhao Yao's mouth, "I will make the mushroom a famous delicacy in Lingnan and make it a local specialty of Lingnan." ”

Speaking of local products, Zhao Yao has turned Lingnan's unique fruits into local specialties, such as longan, lychee, mango, etc. However, because Lingnan is too remote and the transportation is inconvenient, these fruits cannot be sent out of Lingnan. Even if they are sent out, these fruits will rot on the way, so Zhao Yao thought of dried fruits. The fruits unique to Lingnan are dried and then sent to inland and Western Regions countries for sale.

Lingnan's unique fruits are not available elsewhere, so Liang Run made a lot of money just selling Lingnan dried fruits a few years ago.

After Zhao Yao used saltpeter to make ice, he thought that he could use ice to keep the fruits fresh, and then he could send the fruits of Lingnan to various places.

In addition to making dried fruits, you can also make canned fruits and jams. Now with glass, it is possible to make canned fruits and jams.

He Lianfang sometimes really admires Zhao Yao's brain, such as mushrooms, which can be seen everywhere, he can actually come up with a hundred ways to eat them, and each way to eat them is very delicious. In addition to eating, he can even turn the fungus into a "cash cow".

"I plan to build a food street in Marsh Province to sell all kinds of food in Marsh Province, so that outsiders can enjoy the food of Marsh Province." In addition to the food street, Zhao Yao also plans to build a commercial street, referring to the commercial street of the ancient town in Zhao Yao's world in his dream. "By the way, after the trade conference, I'm going to open a mega supermarket in Swamp Province, and the supermarket sells things from all over the world."

"Supermarket?" He Lianfang heard this word for the first time and didn't understand what it meant, "What is a supermarket?" ”

"It's a shop, but it's bigger than the average store, and it sells more things than the average store." His Excellency Zhao Yao told He Lianfang in detail about the supermarket, "You can sell anything in the supermarket, as long as you can think of something, you can buy it in the supermarket." ”

After hearing this, He Lianfang said with a surprised face: "Your supermarket is to collect things from all over the world." ”

"You can say the same thing." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "First open a supermarket in Swamp Mansion, then open a supermarket in the capital and Jiangnan, and in the future, we will open a supermarket in every state capital in Dazhou, and even open it to overseas foreign countries such as the Western Regions and Annam." ”

He Lianfang said: "Your ambition is not small. ”

"How can you make money without ambition." When it comes to making money, Zhao Yao's whole face is shining, "First open a national supermarket chain in Dazhou, and then open supermarkets to other countries, and then become an international supermarket chain." ”

"International?" He Lianfang asked with a puzzled face.

"It's the communication between countries." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and said again, "After Uncle Gao brings back the gold and silver, I plan to use the silver as a coin." ”

"You've said that before." He Lianfang had an impression, "Didn't you say you were getting any silver tickets before." ”

"Yes, use the silver as a coin first, and then get a silver ticket when the silver is in circulation." Zhao Yao has another plan in his heart, that is, to open a bank.

There is an underground money bank in the swamp house, which is a black money bank created by the collusion between former officials and Tusi. However, after Zhao Yao came, he copied this underground black money bank. At present, there is no money bank in the swamp province.

After the trade conference, there will be a lot of gentiles coming to the swamp house to do business, and it will be very inconvenient to have no bank. Besides, with banks, it was possible to attract Gentiles to deposit their money in the swamp house.

"Counting the time, there is still a month to come."

Thinking that in a month, he would have a few tons of gold and silver, Zhao Yao's mood became very agitated, and he couldn't help but let out a wicked smile in his mouth: "Hey, hey, I'll be rich soon." ”

Seeing Zhao Yao smiling so obscenely, He Lianfang said with some disgust: "You have a lot of money now." ”

"It's different, it's gold and silver." Zhao Yao said with a very exaggerated expression, "Golden gold, white silver, not a small copper coin. ”

Looking at Zhao Yao's appearance of never seeing gold and silver, He Lianfang quipped: "When the gold and silver arrive, do you want to roll on it and feel the taste of money?" ”

Zhao Yao felt that He Lianfang's proposal was very good, snapped his fingers and said, "When the time comes, I will definitely roll a few laps on the Golden Mountain and the Silver Mountain." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yao took his joke seriously, He Lianfang couldn't help but laugh a little: "Look at your unproductive look." ”

Zhao Yao suddenly sped up to eat, "I have to finish eating quickly and then go to work." Thinking of the imminent mountains of gold and silver, Zhao Yao was full of energy, and swept away the decadence of the past two days.

He Lianfang asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"The trade conference is about to start, and I'm going to build a quadrangular pavilion." Zhao Yao said with a serious expression, "You can't do it without the Sifang Pavilion, otherwise those gentiles will come to the Swamp Mansion, and the officials won't know what they're talking about." ”

"I remember that when you were in the capital before, you didn't often go to the Sifang Pavilion and learned a lot of foreign languages from those people in the Sifang Pavilion." He Lianfang remembered that Zhao Yao knew the languages of several countries in the Western Regions, such as Xiongnu, Wusun, and Dawan.

"Yes, I did learn a lot of foreign languages at the Sifang Pavilion." Zhao Yao grinned very proudly, "Before I came to Lingnan, I also went to the Sifang Pavilion to learn the languages of several other countries such as Annam, Siamese, and Johor. "If you want to do business with countries such as Annan and Johor, you must learn their language, otherwise you will not understand what they say and how to do business with them.

"It is necessary to set up a quadrangular pavilion."

"I've asked people from Annam and Johor to find people who can speak the Great Zhou dialect, and when they arrive, let them teach officials Annamite and Johor dialect."

"Why didn't you bring some Hoi An Nan dialect people from the capital to the swamp mansion?"

"I want to bring it, but people don't want to." Zhao Yao said helplessly, "People stay well in the capital, who is willing to go to Lingnan, the land of exile, to endure hardship." ”

That's right.

When it came to the Sifang Pavilion, He Lianfang remembered that Zhao Yao had said that he had built a free school.

"Didn't you say before that you were going to build a free school this year, and you're going to build it?"

"I don't have time to build a free school now, and I won't build it until the second half of the year." As soon as Zhao Yao finished speaking, he suddenly remembered another thing, raised his hand and patted his forehead, and said with a look of regret, ", I forgot the most important thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Yao raised his voice and shouted outside: "Tongxi! Rejoice! Rejoice! ”

Tongxi heard Zhao Yao call him so loudly, and hurriedly walked over: "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

"You go and call Dr. Tong."

"Your Highness, Dr. Tong is probably having lunch now."

"Let him come to me for lunch."

"Yes."

"What are you looking for Dr. Tong?" He Lianfang asked with concern, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

"No, I'm fine, I came to Dr. Tong to discuss the establishment of a hospital, that is, a pharmacy." Zhao Yao looked at the mushroom hot pot in front of him and said to He Lianfang, "I'm afraid that during the trade conference, some people didn't eat mushrooms well and were poisoned, so they had to arrange a doctor in advance." Didn't I tell you before, I want to build a large pharmacy and medical school in Lingnan, so that the people in Lingnan can afford to see a doctor and take medicine. It also allows the people of Lingnan to learn medical skills in a serious way. ”

He Lianfang nodded and said, "Just the hospital you said." ”

"Yes, this time was so busy that I forgot about the establishment of the hospital, but fortunately I remember it now, and I still have time to build it."

"If you're afraid that guests will be poisoned by eating mushrooms, it's best not to invite someone to eat mushrooms."

"As long as the mushrooms are thoroughly cooked, they will not be poisoned, but I am afraid that some people will be anxious and eat them without waiting for the mushrooms to be thoroughly cooked, so it is better to prepare in advance just in case." Zhao Yao said, "Besides, many people will not adapt to the water and soil when they come to Lingnan for the first time. "At the beginning, many people who came with Zhao Yao were not adapted, and the vomiting and diarrhea were still light, and many people fell ill directly, and it took a long time to recover.

"Didn't you say that the climate of those countries in Annan is similar to that of Lingnan, and they shouldn't be unaccustomed to the soil and water when they come to Lingnan."

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, it's better to prepare in advance." The matter of building a hospital is very important, Zhao Yao didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly finished lunch and went to the conference hall.

Dr. Tong came over soon, and he was very surprised to hear Zhao Yao mention the establishment of the hospital. In fact, Zhao Yao had told Dr. Tong about the establishment of a hospital and a medical school a long time ago, but after coming to the swamp mansion, Zhao Yao was busy and disappeared, and he never mentioned it again, and Dr. Tong thought he had forgotten.

"The hospital can't be built well for a while, and it has to be built well, so you will use Renhetang as a hospital for the time being." Renhetang is the largest medicine hall in the swamp province, and it was previously opened by a relative of an official in the swamp province. When Zhao Yao eliminated the officials, Renhetang was also implicated, but Zhao Yao did not order it to be closed.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Next, Zhao Yao discussed in detail with Dr. Tong how to build the hospital.

Zhao Yao attaches great importance to medical skills and looks at important doctors, which makes Dr. Tong's heart full of emotion and gratitude.

In the capital, the dignitaries and nobles looked down on the doctors, and even the imperial doctors in the palace were not very few people looked down on. Dr. Tong used to be the most famous doctor in Anhetang in the capital, with superb medical skills, but because he told the truth, he offended a certain powerful person, was beaten severely, and then was forced to leave the capital. It was at this time that he was found by His Royal Highness the King of Han, and then he was arranged to go to Lingnan to practice medicine.

Although Lingnan is remote, there are many incurable diseases here, and Dr. Tong likes to study all kinds of strange diseases. After he came to Lingnan, he found that there were many diseases here that he had never heard of before. Over the years, he and other doctors have been studying how to cure diseases unique to Lingnan. The hard work paid off, and they have cured many strange diseases in Lingnan in recent years.

After Zhao Yao finished talking about the establishment of the hospital, he immediately remembered that a warm spring was about to be ushered in, and his expression became solemn: "Spring is the easiest to get sick, many people in Lingnan get sick every spring, and the diseases are very strange, and the most important thing is that some diseases are easy to contagious, you have to take precautions in advance." ”

"What Your Highness said is that the minister originally planned to wait for some time to start the prevention work." Regarding the matter of prevention in advance, Dr. Tong learned from Zhao Yao.

"In two days, you will have a free clinic in Renhetang, and by the way, you will tell the people how to prevent diseases." Zhao Yao remembered the glasses, and said, "There are also free eyesight tests for the people." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." As soon as Dr. Tong finished speaking, he remembered that many people in Lingnan had smallpox every spring, and hurriedly reported this matter to Zhao Yao. Every year, many people in Lingnan die of smallpox. Of course, in addition to Lingnan, many people died of smallpox in other parts of the interior.

Dr. Tong didn't mention smallpox, and Zhao Yao couldn't remember it.

"You can plant cowpox to prevent smallpox."

"Cowpox to prevent smallpox?" Doctor Tong was at a loss when he heard this, "Your Highness, the minister doesn't understand what you mean. "What is cowpox? Why does it prevent smallpox? Smallpox has been a terminal disease since ancient times, and it has never been heard of to prevent it.

Zhao Yao told Dr. Tong in detail how to grow cowpox. After hearing this, Dr. Tong's expression became very excited: "Your Highness, this ...... This ......" because he was so excited, Dr. Tong couldn't say a complete sentence.

"After you are busy with the affairs of Renhetang, I will arrange for you to go to Nanshan to do an experiment on cowpox." Zhao Yao said in a firm tone, "Planting cowpox will definitely prevent smallpox, so you have to get cowpox out." ”

Although Doctor Tong didn't understand why Zhao Yao said it so categorically, he believed the words of His Royal Highness the King of Han. His Highness would never have said such a thing without complete certainty.

"Your Highness, rest assured, even if I fight for my life, I will get cowpox out." If cowpox could really prevent smallpox, it would be an earth-shattering event. If he succeeds in getting the cowpox out, he will surely go down in history.

"I'm sure you can make it!" He forgot about such a big thing as planting cowpox, he actually forgot it, it's really damned. Fortunately, Dr. Tong mentioned it today, otherwise he wouldn't know when he would have remembered it.
