When Jiang Xingchen said something, everyone was stunned and their eyes lit up instantly.
Zhao Zixiang and his son felt as if they had wings and flew from the bottom of the valley to the clouds in an instant.
The bearded man was obviously relieved. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he didn't know when he would be able to mention the second-class Marquis! When he thought of his disappointed mood just now, he suddenly cursed in his heart: "You bastard,
There was a better way but I didn’t know how to come up with it early, which made me worry for nothing!”
Of course, the happiest people are the commanders of the several armies. After all, this method of suturing wounds is so important. It directly affects the recovery of soldiers and the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness. Once on the battlefield, the relationship between experienced veterans and new recruits
The difference is quite large.
But this time, they were all much more cautious, especially Wu Tianfeng, who asked cautiously: "Are you sure that doctors in the military can learn this method you mentioned?"
This sentence almost touched everyone's mind. The commanders of the seven armies, the Zhao family father and son, the bearded man, and the nearly a hundred doctors all stared at Jiang Xingchen with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Of course!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, took out a handful of thin thread from his arms, and said, "This kind of thread is specially made by me. It can be absorbed by the muscles and stitches inside the wound without taking it out at all!"
"What?" When a group of people heard this, their eyes widened with disbelief: "Threads can be absorbed by the human body, what nonsense..."
In an instant, everyone's mood dropped again.
The bearded man had a straight face and said in a deep voice: "This is no joke. If you are not sure, it is best not to tell nonsense. You cannot afford the consequences!"
When Jiang Xingchen heard this, he glanced at the big man and suddenly felt good in his heart. Although the other man had a straight face, his words clearly meant protection.
"I'm not kidding. We'll find out once we try it to see if it works!" Jiang Xingchen bowed slightly to the big man, and then said loudly.
Tang Chuxue, who was in the main seat, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you sure what you said is true?"
"Sure! We can demonstrate right away, and we'll see the results in seven days at most!" Xia Zhanhong said flatly.
"Okay!" Tang Chuxue shouted sweetly and said, "Then let's give it a try. In a few days, the people from the Imperial Capital Military Department who will confirm the news will also arrive, so we can witness it together!"
Soon, several more wounded soldiers were brought in. They were all seriously injured and their wounds had not healed. They had just stopped the bleeding and retired from the front line to recuperate. Each of them looked pale and walked a little unsteadily.
Jiang Xingchen didn't say much. He stepped forward and took action. He also didn't look at the wounds. He waved the hand holding the needle lightly and quickly sewed up the wounds of several people, and then re-bandaged them with medicine. This time, he did not remove the needles inside.
Leave the threads outside!
"This kind of special thread is used on the inside of the wound, and ordinary animal tendon thread is used on the outside! After seven days, the animal tendon thread is removed, and the catgut is absorbed by the muscles... We will see the performance of these soldiers then.
Prove what I just said!"
Jiang Xingchen bowed slightly to the top, then stepped aside.
Although they found it incredible, seeing Jiang Xingchen's calm performance, everyone present was shaken and thought to themselves: "Could that kind of thread really be absorbed by the muscles?"
When he thought of this possibility, joy flashed in the eyes of the seven army commanders. If the key lies in this line, then this method is foolproof, and the enemy country will not be able to learn it even if it knows it.
Zhao Zixiang's eyes were even brighter, staring at Jiang Xingchen as if he saw a pile of shining topaz coins. If he could master this secret recipe, the entire imperial military would become his customers. At this time, he absolutely believed in Jiang Xingchen
What is said is true.
"That's it for today. In seven days, we will confirm the result!" Tang Chuxue waved her hand, stood up at the same time as the other six army commanders, and walked out. The doctors also followed suit.
It can be seen that they are still not convinced of the efficacy of catgut at this time. But Jiang Xingchen smiled lightly and did not care.
"Brother Jiang!" Zhao Danqing walked up to Jiang Xingchen with a smile and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you interested in the catgut I made..." Jiang Xingchen asked with a smile. Seeing Zhao Danqing nodding with a flattering smile, he suddenly changed the subject: "But I can't give it to you!
"
"Why?" Zhao Danqing's smile suddenly froze, and he asked calmly: "You can't mass-produce this thing, why not cooperate with the Zhao family, each of us will get half of it, without you having to pay a single copper coin!"
"Do you think the military will hand over such technology to you for production?" Jiang Xingchen asked in return.
"Yes! The military department will definitely buy this technology and block today's news, and there is no need for Xiaojiang Gaiden!" Zhao Zixiang came over and said with some regret.
But at this moment, Jiang Xingchen suddenly smiled and said: "However, if you, Zhao Family Pharmaceuticals, want to get a share of the pie, it's not impossible!"
"Oh? What should I say?" Zhao Danqing and Zhao Zixiang immediately became energetic.
"You can set up a military workshop to make this kind of thread specifically for the army! If I ask again on the grounds that I have been cooperating with the Zhao family, I believe the military department will not disagree. After all, they produce their own products, and they also have to face the problem of too many people talking.
The situation is actually not as confidential as this specialized workshop.
"Haha, Brother Jiang, you are so interesting..." Zhao Danqing suddenly slapped Jiang Xingchen and laughed.
However, Jiang Xingchen had a straight face and his tone changed again: "But..."
"Hey!" Zhao Danqing swayed, covered Jiang Xingchen's mouth, and said bitterly: "Just tell me the final result, don't go back and forth like this, my heart can't bear it!"
Jiang Xingchen turned around and shook off his hand, chuckled, and said, "I want to tell you that this workshop is open, and I want to take half of it!"
"No problem, this is no problem!" Zhao Danqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. Even Zhao Zixiang was confused by Jiang Xingchen's changing tone just now.
When I came here today, from Tang Chuxue's questioning, to Jiang Xingchen's unbelievable catgut, to the constant twists and turns in Jiang Xingchen's words just now, the Zhao family and his son experienced several ups and downs.
But no matter what, the result is always good, and I also got another delicious meal...
After the Zhao family father and son left, the bearded man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said, "Boy, follow me!" Then he turned around and walked out of the hall.
Jiang Xingchen straightened his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then followed the big man out.
Following the big man all the way, Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment when he arrived at a huge courtyard. The four characters Dingbei Houfu were written on this courtyard.
"He is actually the Marquis of Dingbei!" Jiang Xingchen really didn't expect that this bearded man was actually the controller of the entire Hongyuan City area. He always thought that the other party was also from the army.
"What's wrong, kid! Come in!" A smile flashed across Dingbeihou's eyes, and he seemed extremely satisfied with Jiang Xingchen's reaction.
"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen nodded quickly and followed Dingbei Hou into the courtyard.
Without looking at the surroundings of the Hou Mansion, Jiang Xingchen lowered his head slightly and followed Dingbei Hou into a room.
Signaling Jiang Xingchen to sit down, Dingbeihou's expression suddenly became serious and he asked directly: "Boy, tell me the truth, can that special thread really be absorbed by the muscles?"
Jiang Xingchen took a deep breath and said with an extremely certain tone: "Yes!"
Dingbei Hou kept his gaze fixed on Jiang Xingchen's eyes. After he answered in the affirmative, his relieved expression flashed away, and he laughed and said: "Okay! As long as there is no problem with your method, I guarantee that you will get three
Waiting for the title of Baron!"
"What?" Jiang Xingchen's eyes suddenly widened, as if he didn't hear what Marquis Dingbei said clearly. He was obviously only the lowest noble, how could he get the title all of a sudden.
"You previously agreed to sell the secret recipe, which can promote the prosperity of Hongyuan City. I can already upgrade you to the monarch level! If your method of suturing wounds can be promoted, it will be a great contribution to the empire, and you can definitely upgrade it to two more levels!
"
After finishing speaking, fearing that Jiang Xingchen would not understand, Dingbei Hou explained: "Emperor Qiankun has been encouraging the development of all walks of life these years, and your contribution this time can just set an example... The emperor has personally ordered your reward.
, the empire will not interfere, I can directly promote you to the third-class baron!"
Jiang Xingchen pursed his lips, swallowed his saliva, and said doubtfully: "But this time, I'm just helping Zhao Family Pharmaceutical!"
"Cough!" Marquis Dingbei coughed suddenly, trying not to choke on his saliva: "This weak-hearted boy, he didn't even take what I just said to his heart."
"You helped Zhao Family Pharmaceutical obtain supplies from the Seventh Army, but with this method, Zhao Zixiang did not take any advantage and directly stated that the credit belongs to you!"
"So that's it!" Jiang Xingchen finally understood at this moment, and then a burst of ecstasy burst out from the bottom of his heart. Even though he pursed his lips tightly, he could not hide the smile on his face.
Although he has always known that making contributions to the empire and the great lords will increase the level of the nobility. But now he understands that anything that is useful and can be promoted can be regarded as a contribution.
Originally, he had made a long-term plan and did not think about reaching the sky in one step. But unexpectedly, such a big pie suddenly fell into his hands. The title of baronet was only one step away from returning to the territory.
Dingbeihou looked at Jiang Xingchen, who was holding back his joy, and his smile returned. After a long while, he slowly calmed down, and then he said again: "However, your promotion must be kept in the open!"
"Yes! I know!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "Emperor Qiankun wants to use my example to inspire more people!"
"This boy is really smart!" Involuntarily, Marquis Dingbei liked Jiang Xingchen even more, and continued: "So, I decided to give you and the Imperial Academy noble status in the pre-selection of the New Year song and dance performance in ten days.
Put several students together and announce it to the public!"
"This..." Jiang Xingchen frowned hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your contribution!" Marquis Dingbei immediately saw what he was worried about.
"That's good!" Jiang Xingchen grinned and suddenly said: "Master Hou, I have another request, can you help me?"
