Chapter 72: Mr. Tang Chu
"So, the matter of the compound bow has been reported back to Chang'an City?"
Chu Zhen asked Li Shimin.
"There is a record room to join the army, and my father will soon know about the compound bow and tea."
Li Shimin first talked about what happened after returning to Chang'an, Xue Rengao and the Yin Shishi, and briefly mentioned that the daughter of the Yin Shishi became the concubine of the Qin Palace.
"Yin Concubine?"
Chu Zhen's face was strange, and he asked, "How many wives and concubines do you have now?" ”
Li Qingzhao and Lin Daiyu both looked over.
"But a wife and a wife."
Li Shimin was a little embarrassed, because he had noticed that Mr. Chu was older than him, but he still didn't have a concubine, let alone a wife.
Chu Zhen asked again: "I heard that Yang Guang's daughter ......"
There are three Yang concubines in Tang Taizong's harem, one of which is Yang Guang's daughter.
Still in the palace, Mr. Chu mentioned her...... Want to see it? ”
Li Shimin asked hesitantly, seeing Fang Rong was a euphemism, that is, asking Mr. Chu if he wanted the former Sui princess.
If Chu Zhen wanted to, he had to think about how to get the former Sui princess out of his father's father, depending on his father's meaning, probably wanting to include the former Sui princess and concubines in the harem.
Li Qingzhao's expression was subtle, and his eyes were staring at Chu Zhen to see how he answered.
The same goes for Lin Daiyu.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, if Chu Zhen said that he wanted to marry a princess, he wouldn't mind being his father-in-law.
"No, I'm still getting married, I'm just asking."
Seeing their surprised expressions, Chu Zhen added: "We generally don't get married until they're twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and there are many people who don't get married until they're in their thirties, and there are also many people who don't get married in their lifetime. ”
"You can't get married for the rest of your life...... Won't you become a widower? ”
"How can you start a family without getting married? How can you get a business if you don't have a family? ”
"Uncle Chu doesn't want to get married?"
Several people expressed their opinions or asked, and Chu Zhen hurriedly stopped the topic and asked Li Shimin about the compound bow and tea.
"When I got home, I saw that my wife was pregnant!"
Li Shimin smiled.
Chu Zhen was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked him: "You live in Chengqian Hall now?!" ”
"Chengqian Palace......!"
Li Qingzhao reacted and glanced at Lin Daiyu.
Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head and drank tea, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"It's the Chengqian Palace, what's wrong?"
Li Shimin looked at several people suspiciously.
"No, it's okay, Cheng Qian... The palace is very good, congratulations to Erlang for becoming a father! Chu Zhen said vaguely.
I can't say anything.
Li Shimin is happy to be a father, and mentioning his eldest son's future at this time is purely a big mess.
"When your child is born, I'll prepare some gifts."
Chu Zhen smiled again.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu!"
Li Shimin stood up and thanked him, sat down again and said with a smile: "When I saw that my wife was pregnant, I took out the barefoot medical book and asked the midwife to learn ......."
He briefly mentioned the matter of corn, focusing on the matter of being summoned to the palace by his father to inquire later.
At that time, the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the ministers Pei Lian, Li Gang, Xiao Yu and others were also there.
Hearing him mention it, Chu Zhen asked Xiao Yu because he was the half-brother of Yang Guang's wife, Empress Xiao.
"My uncle was a taishou in Hechi County, and my father asked my brother to bring a letter before, but my brother didn't go to Hechi County, so I brought another letter.
When I returned to Chang'an, my uncle's family also came to Chang'an with me, and my uncle was awarded the title of Guanglu doctor by my father, and was named the Duke of Song Dynasty, and worshiped the Ministry of Civil Affairs. ”
The Ministry of Household Affairs is the Ministry of Households, and it is precisely because of Li Shimin's secrecy that the Ministry of Households was changed.
But Li Shimin did not change when he was emperor.
Li Yuan easily recruited another minister, which is enough to confirm Li Shimin's previous words, the family can often occupy a greater advantage when raising troops.
"And after that?"
Chu Zhen continued to ask.
"Father's face seemed to be displeased, and he first asked me where Xue Jushen's bow was? I'll take it out ......"
Li Shimin recounted in detail what happened at that time.
Li Yuan was surprised when he tried out the power of the compound bow, and then looked at it carefully, and then asked where the craftsman who made the bow was.
Li Shimin had already prepared and took out three taels of tea leaves.
He ordered someone to bring a tea set, and he personally made tea and presented it to his father to taste.
Li Yuan was overjoyed.
After Pei Lin tasted it, he also looked comfortable, and jokingly said that this tea should be presented to Li Yuan as a trophy, rather than Li Shimin putting it away himself.
Li Shimin didn't answer his words at that time, and took out four books that were excerpted from barefoot medical books and compiled into a volume.
A barefoot prescription, a barefoot script, a barefoot ulcer medical scripture, and a midwife's delivery manual.
The first three have antique names, and the last one uses a barefoot doctor's manual.
Li Shimin said: "After taking these out, I will say Mr. Chu's name!" ”
"Got it."
Chu Zhen took his words, "I am currently in Tianshui County, and I am a craftsman who helped Xue Ju make the Divine Bow.
At the same time, he is also a traveling doctor, and he has compiled medical books, and he has also been to the Americas, taking out corn seeds for you, and then roasting new tea leaves in a new way. Right? ”
Several people laughed, and Lin Daiyu even laughed and said, "There is nothing in the world that Uncle Chu will not do." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "There are so many names, it is better for me to be named a true monarch directly." ”
Li Shimin's expression was embarrassed, and he stood up and apologized to Chu Zhen.
"Just kidding, I don't mind."
Chu Zhen smiled.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Shimin: "You told your father that corn can feed tens of millions of people?" ”
"No, I don't dare to boast about Haikou."
"Who did the compiler of the medical book write about?"
"Mr. Chu compiled, my eldest grandson Wuji and I excerpted and recompiled, and on the order of the Tang Emperor, the people were allowed to transcribe and spread it to all places."
Li Shimin paused, "Because the matter of midwifery was taboo to mention, the Qin Wangfu spread the "Midwife's Delivery Manual". ”
When Chu Zhen heard this, he could only sigh again that it was too difficult to have children in ancient times.
Not to mention the medical treatment, the Wen Po who is responsible for delivering the baby is also classified as the third aunt and six wives.
"This is a great achievement, better than building any floating slaughter."
Chu Zhen said.
Li Qingzhao and Lin Daiyu's faces were a little red, they were still ashamed to hear about giving birth from young men, which belonged to the category of indecent and unpleasant.
But Chu Zhen didn't shy away from this, and they didn't say much.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, "There are a lot of herbal names in this medical book, and the people in the Imperial Medical Department can't recognize them, can Chu Zhenling find out?" ”
"I was about to say that, too." Li Shimin also said.
"Did you bring it here?"
After Chu Zhen asked, he got the names of the herbs they had extracted from the three of them, Li Qingzhao had only been in Bianjing City for two days, so he hadn't finished sorting it out yet.
"Can this computer find it?" Zhu Yuanzhang stood aside, his eyes looking at the computer screen.
"It should be fine."
Chu Zhen picked up his mobile phone, took pictures of the names of herbs neatly written on three pieces of paper, uploaded them to the computer, identified them in the chat software, and then pasted them into the search engine.
Most of them can be searched, and a few can't be found, so they replace them with pictures and print them out so that they can find herbs according to the pictures.
By the way, I write where the herb grows.
Li Shimin watched him perform a series of operations, and could only sigh that this computer was really magical.
Li Qingzhao confirmed one thing, Chu Langjun praised her for being more powerful than the computer before, which was a great compliment to her.
There's no better way for her to compare to this computer.
She saw Chu Langjun's fingers tap a few times, and when she brushed it, a lot of words appeared, and many pictures appeared when she clicked on it.
It's dazzling to watch.
It's just that suddenly there will be some beautiful pictures with very little clothes jumping out, making her blush, and she glanced at Chu Langjun, but saw that he looked calm and was not affected by the beauty pictures.
Fortunately, Sister Lin didn't come to see it.
