Chapter 10 Pharmaceuticals, Papermaking
In recent days, something big happened in Handan City. Zuo Xiaoyou, who returned from overseas, planted potatoes with a yield of more than 7,000 kilograms per mu and sweet potatoes with a yield of more than 9,000 kilograms per mu. Their achievements were greater than the sky. They were directly named Duke by King Zhao. The fief was close to a field in Yan State. This was what Zuo Xiaoyou asked, and it was said that it was the place where Zuo Xiaoyou's ancestors lived.
Because there are no towns in this field, only a few small villages, this place was named "Return to the Countryside" by King Zhao, which means "the place where the wanderer returns to the hometown", so the title of Zuo Xiaoyou is "Return to the Countryside".
Although he is a duke, because it is too desolate, he needs to send more manpower and material resources to build the town. However, that place belongs to the front line of the border, and once a war breaks out, it will definitely be the first to bear the brunt. So at the suggestion of Zuo Xiaoyou, that place will be temporarily placed. When there are no hidden dangers of border war in the future, then go to build the city.
This is a nonsense of ordinary people, but it is a long-lasting thing to hear, but it has a different meaning in the ears of some princes and nobles.
There are no hidden dangers of war? Unless the victory or defeat is decided between Yan and Zhao and become a country, what does that mean?
People with a different mind, and people with a wise mind.
Zuo Xiaoyou was also quite busy these days. Since he was conferred the title of Gonggong, his manor became the Gonggonggong Mansion. He boasted and congratulated people in the hall, and lined up with gifts, which made Zuo Xiaoyou receive a lot of good things during this period, especially several thousand-year-old wild ginseng plants, which were treated as a treasure by Zuo Xiaoyou, who soaked wine and made medicine.
Zuo Xiaoyou promised to get some pills for nourishing yin and nourishing kidneys for Tao Fang, but he was busy all the time and forgot about this. Tao Fang had never mentioned it. He must have felt that the identity difference was too big and it was difficult to speak. But after Zuo Xiaoyou got these precious medicinal materials, he remembered what happened at the time, so he made some ginseng and combined with other medicinal materials to make thousands of pills for nourishing yin and nourishing kidneys.
After Zuo Xiaoyou tried it personally, he found that the medicinal effect was much better than what he used in modern times. He had to sigh that the medicinal materials of this era were so good that they were not comparable to those artificially grown medicinal materials in modern times.
Since returning to Handan, Xiang Shaolong has been hugging Shu'er and having sex with him every day. Even though his body was so stubborn, Xiang Shaolong could not withstand such a mess. Gradually, Xiang Shaolong was a little overwhelmed. However, since taking the Chiyin Bushen Pill, in just ten days, Xiang Shaolong became fierce again, even better than the past.
With the personal experimental results of the two brothers, Zuo Xiaoyou sent ten Yin-Purple Pills to Tao Fang with confidence. After talking about the usage and dosage, Tao Fang tried it and found that he was indeed prosperous again. He was overjoyed. It was a pity that Zuo Xiaoyou said that it was not easy to make pills and it was impossible to provide them to him often, but if he had good medicinal materials, he could make some for him for free.
Tao Fang finally regained her strength, and of course she would not miss this opportunity. So she often took advantage of the time she went out to acquire beauties and horses to acquire the precious medicinal materials designated by Zuo Xiaoyou in the local area.
In addition to the suite, Zuo Xiaoyou also sent 100 Xuanyin Bushen Pills into the palace. King Zhao's body had been hollowed out over the years, and there were countless beauties but he couldn't enjoy it, which made King Zhao very helpless. However, after taking the Xuanyin Bushen Pills sent by Zuo Xiaoyou, Zhao's body finally returned to normal after a month of conditioning, and could control the ten girls at night, making him extremely happy.
For King Zhao, this life is nothing more than two pursuits of awakening the power of the world and lying in the beauty's knees. However, if he is not strong enough, he will break his arm. Zuo Xiaoyou's pill is equivalent to helping King Zhao reinstall his broken arm again. King Zhao is more honorable to Zuo Xiaoyou, and he is rewarded with all kinds of gold, silver and treasures, and the beauty of silk and silk kept rewarding him. Seeing the Julu Hou Zhao Mu was envious and jealous, but Zuo Xiaoyou's title was one level higher than him, making him feel like a thorn in his throat, wishing he could get rid of it quickly.
But Zuo Xiaoyou often stayed at home, rarely went out, and was protected by a large number of soldiers, so he could not find a chance to start. However, Zhao Mu encountered an assassination himself. Although he survived, he was seriously injured and almost lost his life.
When he heard this news, Zuo Xiaoyou calculated the time and felt that Shanrou was the ten people who assassinated Zhao Mu. In the original work, Xiang Shaolong was originally riding in Zhao Mu's carriage to help Zhao Mu block the disaster, but in this time and space, Xiang Shaolong had been staying in the manor to "cultivate one's own character". Without this person who blocked the disaster, Zhao Mu could only face Shanrou's assassination. Unfortunately, good people did not live long and the disaster was left for thousands of years, and Shanrou's assassination failed. Fortunately, Zhao Mu was also seriously injured. With the medical technology of this era, he would not have thought of going out without a year or half of a year of cultivation.
But Zhao Mu was the marquis of Zhao after all, but he was assassinated and seriously injured in the capital Handan. What's wrong? So during this period, Handan launched a relatively tight crackdown. I wonder if Shanrou could escape this disaster?
However, there is something that needs to be solved by Zuo Xiaoyou and Xiang Shaolong, that is, Yuan Zong came to Handan alive. This surprised Zuo Xiaoyou. In the original work, Yuan Zong was dead, but unexpectedly, Yuan Zong survived in this time and space. However, Yuan Zong was also seriously injured. Fortunately, after he came to Handan, after inquiring about Xiang Shaolong, he ran over to join Xiang Shaolong.
Facing his teacher, Xiang Shaolong took Yuanzong into his own initiative, and then informed Zuo Xiaoyou. Perhaps he had learned Mozi's sword technique, or perhaps because Yuanzong was a good person, Zuo Xiaoyou respected him very much. After learning the news, he even came to treat Yuanzong's injuries himself.
Although Yuan Zong was seriously injured, they were all skin trauma. Zuo Xiaoyou had seen a lot of medical skills and mastered a lot of prescriptions for treating skin trauma. With his careful care, Yuan Zong recovered in less than half a month, which made Yuan Zong very surprised and admired his medical skills.
During this period, Yuan Zong also mentioned the reason for his injury, but he was chased by Yan Ping. However, this time Yuan Zong was very lucky and survived by luck. The reason was that it had an indirect relationship with Xiang Shaolong. Because Xiang Shaolong did not escape to Wu'an as in history, he did not add economic burden to Yuan Zong, and also brought a lot of money. Therefore, every meal was full of fish and meat, which added a lot of nutrition to Yuan Zong, which gave Yuan Zong more strength to escape after encountering Yan Ping.
Zuo Xiaoyou didn't expect that Yuan Zong would survive like this. He couldn't help but sigh that God could not starve to death. As expected, he would have a greater life after eating and drinking!
Since Yuanzong survived, Yan Ping must have to get rid of it. Zuo Xiaoyou attaches great importance to the thoughts of the Mohist school, and the Mohist school was the earliest school in history to study science. If it weren't for the Han Dynasty that abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism, which led to the decline of the Mohist school, I'm afraid China would have entered the era of science and technology long ago.
Of course, the Mohist idea of "universal love and non-aggression" is a bit too ideal. This idea can only be promoted when the world is peaceful and the people are prosperous. As long as there are foreign enemies and the people are still in poverty, this idea will have no soil for survival. However, the Yuanzong was persuaded by Xiang Shaolong and temporarily gave up the unrealistic idea of universal love and non-aggression. However, the geometry, physics, optics and other science and technology mastered by the Mohist school were still retained by him, which also made Zuo Xiaoyou very excited.
He wanted Zhao to replace the powerful Qin and unify the world. The power of the Mo family was indispensable. Even if it was impossible to enter the industrial era in the short term, with the many talents of the Mo family, Zhao could definitely become stronger in the shortest time.
And how to incorporate the talents of the Mo family into my hands? Of course, we must let the Yuanzong unify the Mo family and use it for my own use!
Therefore, Yan Ping became a thorn in Zuo Xiaoyou's side and must be removed quickly.
During the period when Yuan Zong was recovering from his injuries, Zuo Xiaoyou's various scientific and technological knowledge and exchanges with Yuan Zong in later generations had already shocked Yuan Zong. Later, Zuo Xiaoyou proposed the concept of Industry 10, and the first thing he took out was the steam engine...
Faced with more than two thousand years of crushing, Yuanzong was instantly surrendered by Zuo Xiaoyou. So after Zuo Xiaoyou proposed to integrate the entire Mohist school, conduct systematic learning and training, and carry out the industrial revolution, Yuanzong supported it with both hands and feet. However, to integrate the Mohist school, the first thing to do is to get rid of Yan Ping.
"Yan Ping, I will solve it. Mr. Yuanzong's task is to take the Juzi Ling to receive the Mo family guild. First, combine the manpower and material resources of the Mo family in Zhao State, and then gradually gather the Mo family's children from other countries. With enough manpower, we can study and develop industrial capabilities as quickly as possible."
After hearing Zuo Xiaoyou's idea, Yuanzong hesitated for a moment and agreed. Yan Ping's idea was different from him. Yan Ping wanted the Mohist family to serve the powerful class, while his idea was to be equal and mutually loving, and there was no difference between high and low. Zuo Xiaoyou could agree with him in this regard, and there was a better blueprint for future development, which Yuanzong could not not support.
In this way, after a period of investigation into Yan Ping's movements, Yuan Zong, Zuo Xiaoyou, and Xiang Shaolong mastered Yan Ping's routine. At this time, Yan Ping lived in the Mo family guild in Zhao State, as if he was very close to Zhao Mu.
Since I got close to Zhao Mu, I had to die.
On a dark and windy night, Zuo Xiaoyou wore a night-breaking dress and left the mansion with a strange speed, and met an alley not far from the Yuanzong and the Mo family guild who had already been away from outside.
"Mr. Zuo, Yan Ping is in the guild, how do you do it?" Yuan Zong asked in a low voice.
Zuo Xiaoyou covered his face with a black scarf, held a bronze short sword in his hand, and said, "Of course you should go in!"
"This..." Yuan Zong looked worried.
"Don't worry." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "In my eyes, Yan Ping is just a native chicken and a tile dog. Since those people in the guild follow Yan Ping, there is no need to stay. Just come out and clean up the mess after I kill Yan Ping. If there are still people who resist, I will secretly eradicate them."
Yuan Zong did not know Zuo Xiaoyou's martial arts very well, but when he was chatting with Xiang Shaolong, Xiang Shaolong said that his elder brother was a pervert and no one in the world could defeat him. Although Yuan Zong did not believe it, Xiang Shaolong was not an eloquent person. Now Zuo Xiaoyou also said that Yan Ping was a native chicken and a tile dog. He wanted to see how powerful Zuo Xiaoyou is?
"Mr. Zuo is more careful."
"Don't worry." Zuo Xiaoyou held the short sword tightly and quickly entered the Mo family guild.
"Stop, who is the one!?" Zuo Xiaoyou's masked outfit in black made the Mo family guild very alert, but Zuo Xiaoyou didn't speak and took a sword and killed him.
With two puffs, the two young and strong men covered their necks and died suddenly on the spot.
"There are assassins!" The Mo family guild was in chaos.
Zuo Xiaoyou ignored it and slowly walked into the Mo family guild, killing everyone he saw. No one could resist a move. The killing of the Mo family guild was shocked, which naturally alarmed Yan Ping.
"Who are you?" Yan Ping saw that more than 20 members of his guild had been killed. He was shocked and angry, and ran over with his sword in his arms and asked.
Zuo Xiaoyou glanced at him and said lightly: "Are you Yan Ping?"
"It's this giant!"
puff--
A flying sword stabbed Yan Ping in the throat and pierced his neck. Zuo Xiaoyou quickly stepped forward, pulled out the short sword, and continued to kill. Yan Ping's pupils gradually lost focus, and he died in peace with his eyes.
After one night, the Mo family guild was bleeding, and the giant Yuanzong regained control of the Mo family guild. Zuo Xiaoyou did not kill all the people from the Mo family guild. After all, some of them were not Yan Ping's loyal factions, so after they reached a certain level, Zuo Xiaoyou stopped, and then Yuanzong appeared and made a fame and fortune on the scene, the Yan Ping's loyal factions were exposed.
After killing these loyal sects, there were more than 30 people left in the Mo family guild, which was a heavy casualty. However, it was worth it to be able to regain control of the Mo family guild.
Although many people died in the Mo family guild, this era was an era of cannibalism. It was not a big deal to die a few people. The next day, the government met and asked a few casually, and then ignored it. The dispute over the interests of the same clan was just a dispute. As long as it was not a random killing of innocent people, the government would be too lazy to care about it.
After getting the Yuanzong and the entire Mohist guild, Zuo Xiaoyou was able to take some of the things he wanted to do. The Mohist genius were all a group of scientific and technological talents. In this era when all schools of thought were abolished and Confucianism was not overthrown, although they did not have much social status, they could live a good life with their skills. Unfortunately, this era has not yet invented paper, and many of the Mohist geniuses could not be recorded and passed on. Since Zuo Xiaoyou came to this world, he naturally could not let the Mohist geniuses be lost.
So during this period, Zuo Xiaoyou started experiments at home again. Papermaking is no longer a hidden secret in modern times. Zuo Xiaoyou has been in Hengdian for more than ten years and has met many capable people, including those who know papermaking. However, this papermaking man made yellow paper and red paper. Yes, even the materials for paper money and Spring Festival couplets, of course, they can also make white paper. One year it was almost the Chinese New Year, and Zuo Xiaoyou didn’t have much work, so he went to their house to help sell paper money and Spring Festival couplets, and also learned papermaking techniques.
In modern times, I can't learn it, but in this era, papermaking is a magical technique. The crystallization of human wisdom has developed rapidly after the paper is found. The previous bamboo slips, leaves, clay boards, etc. were either too bulky, difficult to preserve, or easy to break, and difficult to pass on. Only after Cai Lun of the Han Dynasty made paper, the wisdom of the ancients was spread on a large scale.
