Chapter 190 Conspiracy

Chapter 190: A major plan for conspiracy

Everyone was happy and got together to discuss how to arrange the newcomers for a while. Their food, accommodation and training were important matters. One by one, it took a lot of time, so we discussed it. In a word: Let them feel that they have more promising in military weapons supervision than in Imperial College!

As long as they do this, their hearts will stabilize and learn faster. More importantly, once they do this, they will set an example, and it will be much easier to expand military equipment and supervision in the future.

After the matter was discussed, Chen Wanrong said goodbye to everyone and rushed to the East Palace to meet Li Longji, preparing to ask for the graphite and alum that Li Longji promised before going to the expedition. This is the necessary raw material for making glass. Without these two things, equipment that can produce glass cannot be made, and chemical engineering will not be energized. Chen Wanrong is not allowed to go to Li Longji.

No one expected that as soon as I arrived at the East Palace, Gao Lishi came out as soon as he reported to me, and he smiled from afar: "General Chen, you are really here! The prince is about to find you!"

Li Longji looked for Chen Wanrong, and there must be something big. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but be very interested and asked, "Eunuch Gao, do you know what the prince is asking for me?"

"How can I know? Go in quickly, the prince is waiting for you." Gao Lishi's tone was very tight, and even if he knew, he would not say it. He would reveal first that it was a taboo thing.

Chen Wanrong didn't ask much and followed Gao Lishi. When he came to Li Longji's room for official business, Gao Lishi asked. Chen Wanrong thanked him and stepped in. A slight sound of closing the door came from behind.

When he saw that Li Longji was lying half-lying on the chair to rest as he was a little tired. He heard the sound and opened his eyes. Before Chen Wanrong could salute, he said, "Come and sit down!"

Chen Wanrong knew that he was the kind of person who was extremely jealous. In his eyes, he only had official duties and was not polite. He responded and sat down and asked, "The prince is looking for ministers, don't know what is the priority?"

Although Li Longji was a little tired, he was very relaxed and even joked: "What? I can't I look for you if I have nothing to do? Can't I chat with you?"

Chen Wanrong would never have thought that Li Longji, a person who was so public and disregarded his own interests, would be joking. He could not help but suffocate. Li Longji continued: "You have returned from Tubo."

, I am most familiar with the matters of Tubo. Now, the weather in Chang'an is getting colder and colder. The weather in Tubo is getting colder earlier, so the withdrawal of troops should be carried out earlier. Although I know this, I still want to hear your opinion. After all, you are on the battlefield with the army and you are most familiar with the situation there."

When talking about the withdrawal of troops, Chen Wanrong really had some thoughts: "Prince, you must be confident about the withdrawal of troops. However, I still have to say two things: one is the reward of the soldiers, and the other is that the soldiers who returned from the war miss their homes the most and should be handled properly."

As for military ordnance, supplies, and disability, Li Longji was very careful and didn't need to mention it at all.

Li Longji nodded and said, "The court will be rewarded for such a great victory, so that it will be worthy of the soldiers. I have asked my father to send Shen Que as the imperial envoy to work in the north."

Shen Que is now the governor of Youzhou and another minister. It is perfect for him to go there, and Chen Wanrong has no objection.

Li Longji continued: "As for the issue of the soldiers missing home, do you still have the nerve to say? When the artillery returned, who doesn't miss home? Not only did you not give them a holiday, but you expanded the artillery immediately. How could you be so unsympathetic to the soldiers?"

If Ruizong hadn't had a secret order, Chen Wanrong would have set a vacation for the artillery. Of course, this matter cannot be said. Chen Xiangrong made another excuse: "Crown Prince, I want to have a great battle next year, and the artillery will be of great use. I cannot relax. I have to make a good iron while it is hot, and I have to expand the artillery first. As for their vacation, I want to carry out it in batches, so that it will not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also delay the court's plan!"

Li Longji nodded slightly and said, "The soldiers miss homesickness, so they can only do this according to your method. They will give them holidays in batches and let them go home to visit their relatives."

It is impossible to release tens of thousands of troops together, and it is inevitable to be divided into batches. Next, the two discussed many details of the withdrawal. After the discussion, Li Longji asked, "What's the matter if you come to me?"

"Crown Prince, I asked the prince before going to war. I don't know what happened to the alum and graphite that the prince helped the ministers find?" Chen Wanrong didn't go around in circles.

Li Longji's face turned solemn and asked slowly: "Are you here to seek reward?"

Chen Wanrong hurriedly rejected: "Crown Prince, you are wronged. Without these two things, glass cannot be made. Without glass, ministers cannot make other products."

Li Longji's face relaxed and said, "You have something to make a lot of money again, am I right?"

Chen Wanrong said seriously: "Crown Prince, if I had wanted to make money with glass in the past, but now, I don't think so. Now, I have a bigger idea to change the old look of military weapons and make more things that the Tang Dynasty needs."

"Oh!" Li Longji was quite surprised, his eyes suddenly widened, and he asked with interest: "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Chen Wanrong said confidently: "Prince, I don't know what the military weapon surveillance can do. However, I know one thing. As long as my plan is realized, the military weapon surveillance will produce much more, to an unimaginable level."

Now the military weapon surveillance has made a lot of things, and can do more. Li Longji really doesn't believe it. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Didn't you brag?"

Chen Wanrong did not show any weakness and asked back: "Crown Prince, do you think I am the kind of bragging person?"

Li Longji was trusted by Chen Wanrong's character, and couldn't help but be stunned. He smiled and nodded, "Tell me, what are your ideas?" His body leaned towards Chen Wanrong, and his eyes were much brighter.

Chen Wanrong's plan is very grand. If he can get the support of Li Longji, the future wise king, then the problem will be much easier. He can't help but feel energetic and his voice has increased a lot: "Crown Prince, this is what I think. First, take the original skills of military weapon supervision to the next level to make it more applicable. Second, develop some skills that have an important influence on national economy and people's livelihood."

Li Longji waved his hand and stopped Chen Wanrong from speaking, and analyzed: "It is appropriate to make the military weapon surveillance skills more exquisite and applicable. Can the second point be more specific?"

There was no such thing as the Tang Dynasty, and Chen Wanrong was familiar with too many technologies. Just a few points were enough to arouse Li Longji's interest. Chen Wanrong sorted out his ideas and said: "Crown Prince, I want to promote chemical engineering in the Tang Dynasty. With chemical engineering, the Tang Dynasty will be stronger and the power of artillery will be greater."

Li Longji nodded slightly, expressing approval.

Chen Wanrong continued: "The second thing is that I want to do medicine in the Tang Dynasty. As long as I have good medicine, the people will suffer less."

"Can you really make a good medicine?" Li Longji asked in surprise.

There were many strange diseases in ancient times, and good doctors were free from time to time. If they could really make new medicines, it would be a matter of great merit and a profound impact. Li Longji had a far-reaching vision, so he could naturally see its importance at a glance.

In the eyes of the ancients, the cure rate of 80% was called a good doctor. Such a low cure rate would definitely be cursed in modern times, and people would be cursed in the prison.

This situation is caused by underdeveloped medicine and there is almost no research on pathology. Second, there is a shortage of drugs, especially symptomatic drugs, which are even more difficult to find. Even if there are, those good doctors will be put into high positions as "secret recipes" and will not be easily shown to others.

If Chen Wanrong really wants to make good medicine, the impact cannot be explained clearly. It is not an exaggeration to use all the praises. Chen Wanrong said confidently: "Prince, please rest assured. I dare to guarantee that I will definitely make it. In the worst case, there will be no problem with the drugs to treat severe cold and fever!"

This was said firmly, making people dare not have any suspicious thoughts. Li Longji's eyes widened. Chen Wanrong had never seen him so surprised since he met Li Longji. After a while, Li Longji stammered and said, "Can you really create a drug to treat severe cold and fever?"

What is the disease of severe cold and heat? It is also called severity! Commonly known as severity. This is an infectious disease that has been passed down for thousands of years. When a big outbreak occurred, countless people died, and tens of millions of people killed their lives for severity. It is one of the most troublesome infectious diseases in Chinese history, and countless good doctors are helping him.

In the eyes of the ancients, suffering from severe cold and fever is an incurable disease and must die. Chen Wanrong claimed that he could make medicines to cure diseases. Although Li Longji had excellent psychological qualities, he was still very surprised.

Chen Wanrong dared to guarantee this matter, but he nodded heavily and said nothing.

The early drug to cure diseases was using Jinjina Cream. Later, it was discovered that Jinjina Cream could not cure vicious disease. The treatment of vicious disease was due to the efforts of the Chinese and found that artemisinin could cure vicious disease. This was the first of our Chinese. Could Chen Wanrong not know about this?

As long as there is ether, it is not difficult to extract artemisinin. Chen Wanrong can do ether now, but because there is no equipment, he can only do it in small quantities by hand, which is not very helpful to the Tang Dynasty. Now, Chen Wanrong has changed his mind. Now he has mastered the military weapon surveillance, and the military weapon surveillance can operate according to his ideas and can create a large number of chemical equipment. By then, will the ether be less? With ether, Chen Wanrong will refine artemisinin again, which is not a problem.

The reason why China can be ahead of the world in treating vicious abuse is because of the Vietnam War relationship. In the 1970s, the United States fought against Vietnam, and China provided large-scale assistance, not only giving weapons and food, but also sending 200,000 troops to dress up in Vietnamese military clothing to fight the United States.

Vietnam is a tropical jungle with a hot climate. Many people suffer from vicious abuse. Jinchonafen (quinine) cannot be cured, so China can only re-research new drugs. There has been no progress for several years. By chance, a researcher discovered artemisinin from the vermicelli. After experiments, it was found that it was particularly effective for vicious abuse.

Is there a lot of bitter artemisia in the Tang Dynasty? There are quite a few! The fields are everywhere, and the only way is to extract it. As long as the military weapon supervisor helps, Chen Wanrong can definitely extract artemisinin.

With artemisinin, is it still an incurable disease?

After receiving Chen Wanrong's reaffirmation, Li Longji's interest increased sharply, and he was very excited: "Chen Wanrong, you have done so many things for the court, and this is what makes me happiest. You must make the medicine to treat severe cold and fever! With this medicine, severe cold and fever will not take the lives of countless people. This is a major event that has been passed down for generations! You must do it well!"

The excitement was beyond words, which was rarely seen. Chen Wanrong was greatly encouraged: "Please rest assured, I will do it well!"

Li Longji kept slamming his right hand on the table: "What raw materials do you need? Even if you say, I will definitely help you. By the way, if you want to make medicine, you need help. I will send a few imperial physicians to you and ask them to help you."

The medicine made with chemical methods is completely different from the medicinal materials that the imperial physicians are well-known to treat diseases. If they get in, Chen Wanrong will not think about doing this. He smiled and said, "The prince is kind, I understand it. With Taoist Sima's help, it should be enough."

"Who? Taoist Sima?" Li Longji was surprised again.

Chen Wanrong nodded and affirmed: "Yes, Prince! The Taoist priest has agreed to go to the Military Equipment Supervisor to do things and manage the drug."

"Stand up!" Li Longji shouted for no reason.

Chen Wanrong was confused by him and asked in surprise: "Crown Prince, what are you doing?"

Li Longji did not answer, and circled Chen Wanrong for a few times, and couldn't understand: "What's wrong with you? Even Taoist Sima promised to follow you to the military weapon supervisor to do things. Do you know? He didn't answer if his father used a high position and used special rituals to keep him. I also wanted to recruit him to the East Palace to worship, but he didn't agree. You said, what benefits did you give to the Taoist priest?"

Sima Chengzhen was in a high position in the world and wanted to recruit so many people, from the emperor to the kings and princes, there were countless people. He did not agree, but he got Chen Wanrong the military weapon surveillance. Who would not be surprised?

Chen Wanrong understood and explained with a smile: "Crown Prince, there is nothing to doubt about this. I said that if the Taoist priest agrees to do this, I will teach him more chemical knowledge, and his alchemy will shine, and the Taoist priest will agree."

"The Taoist priest has a peaceful and inaction all his life, so he can refine elixirs. You can be a human being and share his preferences!" Li Longji couldn't help but smile.

Chen Wanrong said seriously: "Prince, if the alchemy is done well, it will benefit countless people and make countless good medicines."

Li Longji had a deep understanding of alchemy and knew that this was true. He nodded and praised: "Since that's the case, you should make a good decision with the Taoist priest and must do more medicines to cure diseases and save lives."

Taking advantage of his happiness, hurry up and get the benefits! Chen Wanrong knew that the time had come, frowned and said in a little embarrassed manner: "Crown Prince, this is what I think, but this manpower is not enough. I have only selected 110 to 20 people in the Imperial College today, which is far from enough."

"More than 100 people? Are you not satisfied? I thought you could only pick one lunatic man." Li Longji first scolded him, and then said: "The people from the county hall will give you a month later. As for the folk boys, it will be over the next year."

The Tang Dynasty had a vast territory and many county halls. This article alone took a lot of time, and a month was necessary. Chen Wanrong was very relieved to be able to clarify the time. This time, he came to the East Palace was not in vain, it was worth it!

With Li Longji's words, it is a foregone conclusion that the expansion of the military weapon surveillance is a sure thing!

Next, the two discussed many details. Li Longji asked in detail. Chen Wanrong said everything and said everything. There was a lot of modern scientific knowledge, which was expressed in appropriate words by Chen Wanrong, which made Li Longji intoxicated.

Li Longji had extremely rich imagination. After listening to Chen Wanrong's explanation, Li Longji had a sudden idea and asked: "Chen Wanrong, according to your statement, the military weapon surveillance will make breakthroughs in all aspects. Are there any new ideas on crops? Crops are the foundation of the country. If there is more food and the people are full of food, the world will be more peaceful!"

It would be fine if he didn't mention it, but Chen Wanrong almost forgot about making fertilizer. When he said it, he immediately remembered it and said excitedly: "Prince, is it necessary to say this? Of course it is OK! Prince, you know that you have to plant crops. I know how to make fertilizer."

Li Longji interrupted Chen Wanrong: "Do you raise more pigs or more cattle?"

Chen Wanrong explained to Li Longji: "Crown Prince, this method is not farm fertilizer. I know that some ores are also conducive to planting crops, but this needs to be processed. Prince, don't be anxious first, listen to me in detail."

Li Longji was going to interrupt Chen Wanrong, but after hearing this, he could only hold back.

Chen Wanrong first gave an example: "The prince knew that saltpeter should be used for shells. Isn't saltpeter also a stone? After treatment, it has such a wonderful use. By the same token, the ore used for this fertilizer will change after treatment and can be used to grow crops."

In the eyes of the ancients, the fertilizer for growing crops was either rotten plants or animal secretions. It was whimsical to use ore to grow crops. Li Longji originally wanted to denounce Chen Wanrong, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but agree. Things that saltpeter is not valued by others have such great power after Chen Wanrong's treatment, and can be used in war. So, is it really impossible to use ore to grow crops?

After thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible. Li Longji did not denounce Chen Wanrong. After thinking for a while, he said, "This is another major event that concerns the people. You must do it well. I think you have selected more than 100 people from the Imperial College today, which is definitely not enough for you. I decided to give you two hundred people from the Imperial College."

The more people the better, Chen Wanrong wanted it, but he had concerns: "Crown Prince, this matter is good, but they are unwilling to come, so they forced the ducks to put them on the shelves, so they could keep people, but they couldn't keep people!"

Li Longji blinked at Chen Wanrong mischievously and nodded, "What's the difficulty? As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards! I will upgrade them to three levels, are they unwilling to come?"

Two levels make many people squeeze their heads into the military weapon prison, and their titles are upgraded to three levels. Is it worth mentioning? Except for a few people who are determined to be officials and want to make a fortune, they will probably rush away.

"The prince is wise!" Chen Wanrong was overjoyed.

As soon as this matter was decided, Li Longji immediately came to Xu Jian and discussed with Chen Wanrong. After the discussion, Chen Wanrong left the East Palace happily.

Chen Wanrong came to the Tang Dynasty and today's gains were the most unexpected. With these people, this foundation was laid. More importantly, this was decided by Li Longji. After he ascended the throne, he would definitely support this matter more, so the era of science and technology is about to emerge.

Chen Wanrong laughed all the way back, and wherever he passed, there must be a long list of "hehe" sounds.
