Chapter 50 The Book of Medicine
A week later, the crown prince ascended the throne, and the princess was much calmer.
The horse is a false title, and he can not go to the court, so Shen Sanwen naturally will not go to the court. But he is not idle, there are more schools in the Shen Mansion and the Princess Mansion, he has to take care of it, and he has to go to the East City Gate from time to time.
I heard that the famous doctor Sun Simiao left several medical classics, and Shen Sanwen planned to get these books.
Not everyone can memorize chemical formulas, and not everyone knows how to make muskets and gunpowder, and even if they remember, many things in the 21st century are different from the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that many things were not in the Tang Dynasty at all. With the steelmaking process of the Tang Dynasty, it may take decades for craftsmen to make muskets and a few bullets, so after Shen Sanwen learned about it, he didn't have this idea again.
Moreover, if there were really these weapons now, there would be no repeated political struggles in the Tang Palace, and one shot would be down, and assassination would determine the outcome of the palace struggle.
If we want to get some weapons, we still rely on the achievements of existing people, and we must not be too far removed from the overall productive forces of society.
Sun Simiao is not only a famous doctor, who pioneered the diagnosis of suspensory filaments, but also an alchemist, and the first person in the world to record the composition of gunpowder. This person lived one hundred and forty-two years old, during the Western Wei Dynasty, he was valued by Dugu Xin, known as the holy child, after the three emperors of the Tang Dynasty, he was valued by the emperor, but unfortunately he was also seriously ill when Gaozong was seriously ill, otherwise it would not be so.
If gunpowder can be developed according to Sun Simiao's records, it is still good.
If you have this possibility, you have to give it a try.
If every doctor could be like Sun Simiao to help the world and be compassionate, the Tang Dynasty would not change so quickly, and the quack doctor would not end up with a full house of beheadings.
Shen Sanwen took Wang Bin to visit Sun Simiao's house.
Sun Simiao's eldest son is an official in another place, only his second son Sun Zhi is at home, Shen Sanwen prepared a hundred gold, and politely asked to see him.
Hearing that he came to the door, Sun Zhi eagerly came to greet him in person, "Master Ma, please come in, come to the cold house, I don't know what to do." ”
The three of them entered the living room and sat down, and Shen San asked what he meant, "It is said that Mr. Sun once left a book on medicine and alchemy, and I want to borrow one or two, I don't know if it is possible." ”
Sun Zhi was not surprised by his intention, there have always been many people who come to ask for books, "Could it be that the master of the horse is also proficient in medical skills?" ”
Shen Sanwen was frank, "I don't know medical skills, but I'm very interested in Ling Zun's alchemy skills." ”
Sun Zhi chuckled, "My father once said that in the past three years, medical skills have only been passed on to famous doctors who have helped the world in hanging pots, and alchemy has only been passed on to alchemists with good morals. ”
Shen San asked, puzzled, "Master Sun is not a pedantic person, he is dedicated to writing books and sayings to be passed on to future generations, but why is there such a provision. ”
Sun Zhi explained, "The medical skills are borrowed from the virtuous people, just because the dossier has not yet been excerpted and sorted out, and it takes time to save the manuscript in the Sun Mansion, so as to avoid the loss of my father's painstaking efforts." As for my father's deathbed order, it is an order for us to destroy the improved five-stone powder recipe so as not to harm the people, this is a big deal, the Sun family is weak, and it may take several generations to complete, so please help me. ”
Wang Bin couldn't be silent, "The new Wushisan was developed by Mr. Sun?" ”
Originally, during the Wei and Jin dynasties, Wushisan was widely spread among the nobles, and later after improvement, the Tang Dynasty had a lot of smoke, and the cost was huge, Shen Sanwen didn't know these inside information, and the Shen family couldn't tolerate such an addict. But Wang Bin couldn't calm down, and the Wang family didn't know how many young talents were ruined by this medicine.
Sun Zhi saw Wang Bin like this, and naturally knew why he reacted so much, "When my father was improving the hemp boiling powder, he had no intention of developing this medicine for anesthesia, and the prescription was only passed on to a few doctors, but he didn't expect it to be abused later, and the harm was not small, so he ordered that the Sun family should not keep this prescription, and all the descendants of the Sun family should try their best to eliminate this prescription." ”
"But I don't know what happened now?" Shen San asked. Wushisan is equivalent to the opium of future generations, which not only damages the intelligence of the smoker, but also becomes an important economic burden, making the ordinary people's families ruined, since he is in the Tang Dynasty, he must assist the Sun family to deal with this matter.
Wang Bin spoke, "Wushi San originally caused obvious damage and made the number of people drowsy, but the improved secret recipe will shorten the time to two hours, so in the past five years, more and more sons of the family have also begun to indulge themselves, and it is not easy for the family to know, they only know the pursuit of illusory bliss, completely reckless of the consequences." ”
"Then it's imperative to eliminate this recipe."
Shen Sanwen immediately responded, and Sun Zhi took out the "Danjing Inner Sulfur Method" that recorded alchemy.
The earliest gunpowder should have been developed from the late Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and now that we are focusing on the research on the basis of this Danfang, we should be able to develop it earlier.
Shen Sanwen didn't know anything about Wushisan, these princes of the clan would only have fun with the people they accompanied day and night, and he was a son who was away all the year round, although he participated in their play, he was far from having the friendship of venturing this thing together.
Therefore, he had to sum up with Wang Bin.
Shen San asked: "How to solve that Wushisan, is it to check the raw materials and then execute those who make it, or to start with the person who bought it, and find out the source step by step." ”
Wang Bin thought about it, and learned Di Renjie's action of touching his beard when he was thinking, "Directly from the people who know the formula, start to investigate one by one, and draw out the relationship layer by layer, this recipe is equal to wealth, and it will definitely not be known to passers-by, if you check like you, it is easy for these people to directly leak the recipe, they have made a lot of money through the recipe, and they definitely don't want to take this risk." ”
Shen San asked again and again: "Those sons of the family are powerful and powerful, will they have already obtained the prescription and even make a profit from it, and those doctors who got the prescription in the first place will be the chess pieces that are placed by the powerful people next to Mr. Sun after getting the news, so as to control some powerful people." ”
Wang Bin nodded, "Is there such a possibility, we still have to start with the doctor, if it is just some black-hearted traders, it is better to say something, and the clan is not afraid, but if there are forces in the DPRK and China involved, this matter is far beyond our control." By the way, what's the use of that alchemy book you want, you want to live forever? ”
Shen Sanwen looked at his indecent appearance, speechless, "How can there be immortality in this world, people live for a lifetime, they are worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of relatives and friends, there are no regrets, the longer you live, the more difficult it is to have sincere feelings, watching the most beloved people around you leave one by one, all that remains is loneliness, there will always be a day when you will be extremely bored, life is better than death." ”
Wang Bin is also a free and easy person, "It's a pity that since ancient times, no one has ever given up the pursuit of immortality." If Emperor Qin and Han Wu had Brother Shen's knowledge, many people would have shed a lot of tears. ”
