The Mysterious Travels of the Homeland (45)

The winter sun was filled with snow, and at first glance, it was a bit dazzling. Hong Shu walked out with his hands and ear cups, and another indescribable smell of medicine came from over there. This was Wang Xichen who was cooking medicine.

The medical department is separated from the place where he lives, and it is hard to smell it.

In the entire academy, this guy lived the most free life. He had a lot of money, and it was said that he needed to consume medicinal materials when testing medicines. When it was cold, it was like now, a large pot of boiling and a large pot of boiling, and carried it to the front and asked everyone to drink it for free, saying it was a wind-proof cold. If no one discussed it, carry it outside, and there were always pedestrians coming and going willing to be fooled by this guy.

I don’t know if it can be prevented. Anyway, the taste is not ordinary and not delicious. If it is bitter, it’s bitter, it’s weird.

Of course, it will definitely not kill people. The emperor's mother has long smelled such a big smell of medicine. If she didn't stop her, it would prove that the smell was strange, but it would definitely cure some diseases.

With this smell, I walked back and the emperor was in the greenhouse. Before I could enter the greenhouse, I heard a voice chattering, "You said yesterday that the sky would be clear, but today it was clear. How did you judge? Look at the nebula? I also have many astrological books in my house, and I have read them all, but you can judge the weather like you... I can't understand what the reason is."

When Hong Shu entered, Mei Kaiyun was standing next to the emperor's mother, chatting non-stop.

But the emperor's mother was seriously holding a brush to pollinate the cucumbers. When she saw him, she raised her head, "It's just right... Come on! Come on! Come on, come on." The squatted man's back hurt.

Hong Xu passed by directly, and glared at Mei Kaiyun, "I don't have any eyesight to see you. I'll stand by the side and I don't know how to help you."

Mei Kaiyun is now familiar with Hong Xu, and she glared back with her back, not afraid that he is the prince. She didn't think that it would be wrong if there was an emperor here, but what would be wrong if there was a prince? Anyway, she was very comfortable guarding her master. So when she saw Hong Xu glaring at her, she said angrily, "It's the master who disliked me for being clumsy, so the flowers were poked..."

Then you are stupid enough.

Lin Yutong first replied to Mei Kaiyun's question, "If you are interested in astrology, we will build an observatory." As he said that, he looked at Hong Shu, "If you go back to the Imperial Heaven Supervision and ask someone, how much does it cost to have an observatory? Let me tell you back."

What?

Mei Kaiyun stuttered, "No...no need..."

Hong Xu glanced at Mei Kaiyun, and the emperor's mother almost spoiled her two apprentices. The one who said he wanted to try medicine, but the emperor's mother approved the money without saying a word. She said that the astrological signs were just mentioned here, and he immediately said that he would build a star observatory. The star observatory was not a matter of building a platform, and it would have to put extremely sophisticated instruments in it. He had seen the instrument book, but who would know how much it would cost to build it now? With the nature of Emperor Ama, the instruments he used now might have to be transformed a lot. If this happens, he will not have to do anything in the future. He will keep building a house and building a house.

Lin Yutong glanced at Hongxu. Who can't understand the little thoughts in his heart? But if a person can master one thing in his life, it is an amazing achievement. He looked at Hongxu, "If you can understand the essence of building a house thoroughly and no one can understand more than you do, then you will be everyone."

Hong Shu didn't dare to complain, and immediately said solemnly, "Yes! My son has written it down."

Mei Kaiyun was really uneasy, "Master...I...I...I just ask, I don't need to..."

"It's not just for you." Lin Yutong looked up at the sky, "The things you are interested in are very meaningful. You don't have to think about more things, such as whether you will spend a lot of money or cause trouble. All of them have nothing to do with you. You just remember what you need and then ask for."

Mei Kaiyun nodded quickly, not knowing how heavy this promise was.

Hongxu looked up at her, and she raised her eyebrows at him proudly. Hongxu thought to himself that it was only such a person who made such a big promise that she did not have a selfish heart. Every day, the clothes that the emperor asked people to prepare for, whether they were good or bad, good or ugly, and they didn't care at all. Most of the time I was lazy to take care of them, and the braids were braided and hung behind my head, just like wild girls walking around the streets outside. But the emperorxu never cared about this.

Lin Yutong asked Hongxu: "Are the girls' academy going well?"

"Yes!" Hong Shu said, "He Wan went to see it and changed several places. I checked one by one, and there were no omissions. The fire wall was burning, and it kept going all the time. It was guaranteed that the owner would not be wet in the spring." As he said, "We have prepared many places, and we probably have some free ones. My son heard that many families sent the girls at home to Shaohua Academy on the grounds that they were reluctant to live far away from their children."

Shaohua Academy is the academy opened by the empress dowager in the palace.

There is a fight and there is a sideline, and this is true for you.

No one offended the sleeker family, so they gave one here and one there. Some of them said they were young and said they were not in a hurry to call them out to school. They also said that the children were playful, so they didn't learn anything at first, and wanted to ask them to study at home for two years, so that they could save them to send them out. This is a wait-and-see type, and I was expecting it.

Lin Yutong is not in a hurry. This is not something that can be done overnight. It takes decades or even hundreds of years to verify who is right and who is wrong. In this process, there will always be sacrifices. Great changes, even if the thoughts are awakened under the guns and cannons, it will take time, let alone now?

What this requires not only thought, but also economic independence. And these require even more time.

Now, these two academies are in the comparison group, and they know whether they have lived well or not. After ten, twenty or thirty years, they will always know each other. Besides, she will not let Niu Hulu really train a group of chaste women. As for the academy, there will be competition when it is opened. She has to follow her baton to succeed.

Therefore, she didn't care about this matter. If the famous families or officials from all over the country were willing to follow the example and started some girls' schools, she could even open a hole and recommend some students to study in the academy every year. I think there are always people who are willing to run up.

In short, it is very important to guide its development.

As he was talking, another rushing footsteps came from outside, "Sir——"

It was Wang Xichen who came.

He held a bottle in his hand and handed it to Lin Yutong, "Sir, look at this."

Lin Yutong reached out to take it and asked. The taste was a bit hard to describe, but the thing was pretty good. "Is this frostbite cream?"

Wang Xichen hurriedly smiled, "Master, there is no other color this time, I made it milky white and oily..."

Well! It's a progress. Last time I got a dark lump and the taste was very pungent. Compared with the existing frostbite cream on the market, it is not competitive. Although it is still unsatisfactory now, it has also improved.

Mei Kaiyun leaned forward and then took a step back, "This thing is stinking to the face."

Wang Xichen blushed. He followed the things all day long, but he didn't get enough of her. He quickly took a step back, a little dull, "Then I'll go back and add something else. What kind of flavor does Shimei like?"

Lin Yutong glanced at him, "You can add whatever taste you like?"

Wang Xichen quickly lowered his head, "Sir, I was wrong."

Lin Yutong returned the medicine bottle, "If you want to ask the medicine to be pushed out, more than 90% of people can use it. Then you have to think about it thoroughly. The medicines here are too domineering. What if a pregnant woman uses it? Then adjust the compatibility... If you can't find anything else that can cover the smell of medicine, try mugwort."

Yes! Yes! Mugwort has a strong smell, but because it is used more, most people can accept this taste. Moreover, mugwort can warm meridians, remove dampness, dispel cold, stop bleeding, and safeguard the fetus. Such a prescription is the most peaceful.

This is the most common medicinal herb, and if used correctly, it will be of great use.

His expression suddenly became serious. The gentleman was reminding him that learning medicine is not about showing off his skills. He always used the word "care" as the key to treating diseases and saving lives. He knelt down and kowtowed, "Sir, the student remembers it. Let's go back now and change the prescription again."

Wang Xichen's prescription was modified for half a month, and it would be much better when it was submitted.

The small porcelain bottle contained milky white ointment and pointed it out with my fingers. There was a faint smell of mugwort and it was not unpleasant.

Wang Xichen looked nervously, "After I made it, I found several aunts from the back kitchen of the academy to try it. The frostbite area will not itch in seven days, and it will fade away a little after about ten days..."

Yes! It's pretty good.

Lin Yutong kept the medicine, and this time she also treated her to her.

The Imperial Hospital, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and of course, Qianlong were all among her invitations.

What are you doing here?

Let’s talk about cooperation a few times.

The results are coming out, we have to cash in. First of all, several doctors from the Imperial Hospital, please take a look at how this medicine is like?

They are all old experts, and you can tell whether it is useful or not at first glance. Besides, the old lady dares to ask, how can this be bad? So everyone said that things are good things. The prescription is not difficult. The key is how people extract the medicine. If they ask them to do this, it will be difficult for them to do this.

Lin Yutong looked at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The royal pharmacy that was previously called Hongzhou was assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Hongzhou was too busy, and Qianlong pulled Yonghuang and a son of the Fucha family to take over the matter there a few days ago. But Lin Yutong did not directly look for Yonghuang, but called the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, "Do you want this thing? If you want it, let's negotiate the price. If you don't, many old-fashioned pharmacies are willing to cooperate."

This is what he said! Although the Royal Pharmacy is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is only custody. Due to the ban on smoking, it has made a lot of money over the past few years. The money has been directly entered into the internal treasury and does not leave the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at all.

So they looked at Qianlong: Your Majesty, you are talking.

What Qianlong said, he didn't dare to squander the money. The academy here is quite expensive, so where did they spend? He didn't say anything, and the reason why he directly gave money to the money was that in fact, Emperor Ama and Emperor's mother never added a burden to him. Those incomes were definitely more than enough to support the academy.

But this is all my own business. You said... why are you so serious?

Qianlong didn't think that this matter required labor, he smiled, "Mother Huang, just do what you said. What do you say?"

It seems like a small thing, but it has to become an example.

"The prescription belongs to Wang Xichen himself, and Wang Xichen can do it because the medical department gave him a platform for experiments and guidance. The medical department is also affiliated with the academy, that is, there are four parties, including the Royal Pharmacy. We do not sell the prescription directly. We are willing to cooperate with the Royal Pharmacy. The pharmacy accounts for 40% of the profit, Wang Xichen accounts for 40%, the medical department accounts for 10%, and the academy accounts for 10%..."

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked at each other. Isn’t this bullying Wang Xichen?

The Royal Medicine Hall is royal, whose medicine department belongs to? It belongs to the old lady. Who belongs to the academy? It belongs to the old saint.

After that, you account for 60%, and others account for 40%.

But after these people in the Tai Hospital made up their minds, their eyes turned red. The secret recipe can support their ancestors for generations, but some prescriptions can never be used once or twice in their lifetime. But the Royal Pharmacy has a wide range of shipping routes and good reputation! And at least no one has the courage to produce fake royal things now.

By counting this, it may be more earned by one prescription than you earn in your whole life when practicing medicine.

Lin Yutong said and looked at Yonghuang again, "You can also find Zhaisang when you look back. He went to Chaktu and traded with Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia also liked our medicinal materials, especially rhubarb. But if our things are really good, especially frostbite cream, the market there is more popular than rhubarb. There is bitter and coldness, and the winter is long and severe. As long as the price is moderate, there is no need to worry about no sales."

After saying this, the accounts of several people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were clear, and they couldn't help but look at Wang Xichen, who was sitting in the corner, who was at a loss. After entering the academy for half a year, this kid made such a thing and directly exchanged for the money. And the money kept pouring back every year.

I don’t know what kind of virtue my ancestors accumulated in their previous life.

Several people from several places established a letter of contract, and Qianlong's seal was stamped up, which took effect.

Once this matter was promoted, it was a sensation in the pharmaceutical store. I don’t know how to discuss it, but there was a pharmaceutical store merchant who was willing to maintain a good relationship with the royal family who took the initiative to place an order first. So within two days, Wang Xichen received the first dividend, two thousand taels of silver.

This caused a huge shock among the students who were busy preparing for the end of the year exam.

It turns out that this can be exchanged for money.

The art school exam is relatively easy to pass, and there is also the Confucian Academy, just like that. Reading a few more days of books will not have much impact on the exam. Some people who are close to their homes can still go home. But some people who are too far away have never thought about going back after knowing that they can stay in the academy for the New Year.

They finished the exam first, and this was discussed together. Others can earn money. Of course, we don’t like the smell of money. We just think that what others learn seem to be valuable. Those in the engineering institute can also visit the weapons factory. This proves that their future future is likely to be linked to such things, and no matter how bad the future is, it will be limited. People’s value is like this, what about us? Where is our value?

The academy circle soon formed its own contempt chain. Of course, the scholastic school has always been at the top, and the boys' scholastic school was listed as the most promising category because of their full study, and ranked second. Then there are workers, farmers, commerce and medical institutions. Needless to say, the hospital may be heading towards the military, which is fat and has a future. There are also civil servants in the military officers! What about farmers? The old saint led these people to cultivate rice fields near Zhuangzi, and it seems that they were about to promote some crops. Agricultural affairs have been a major event in the country since ancient times. It is said that no one in agricultural science will have them in the future.

I let them make trouble in my own way. I heard that a orchid grass raised by a student in the farmhouse was bought by Wang Siping at a high price. It seems that there is a promising future. Not to mention Shang, no one knows that Chang Wanda and Wang Siping can go to the back every now and then be summoned by the old saint. In the past, I thought that the medical department was just relying on the old lady who had only one disciple, and was close to the water. Now, it is not the same thing. According to Wang Siping, if Wang Xichen's prescription is well managed, the profit will be a very huge amount.

Who is not moved?

The art academy gathered together for a meeting, and there were two people leading the way: one was Zheng Banqiao, who was a gentleman, and the other was Ji Yun, the best among the students.

Everyone gathered together, and they said something, "How about opening a one-character painting shop?"

Whose calligraphy and paintings are sold? Except for Mr. Banqiao, who is famous now?

Ji Yun said, "If you and I can have a place in the court in the future, even if the calligraphy and paintings are worth a thousand gold coins. If not, two taels will be expensive." The people in the Sutra Academy can try this method, which will ensure that they can make money every day. But isn't they looking down on this?

Then what can I do?

Ji Yun thought of a way, "I just thought about it, I plan to collect the story. Looking back, write this story..."

"That's too slow." It took so many years to write this book. Do you have that skill?
To be continued...
