Zhang Anshi has been staying at home obediently these days and continues to refine his medicinal materials.
This so-called miracle medicine was actually just something practiced by tailors in the Tang Dynasty.
It just causes the paste to deteriorate and produce green hairs, which can have an anti-inflammatory effect when applied to people's hands.
This should be the earliest penicillin in human history.
However, although the tailors in the Tang Dynasty knew that such a thing existed, they knew it but did not know why. They knew nothing about this "green hair", so slowly, this anti-inflammatory method was quietly lost.
Zhang Anshi improved the 'green hairy penicillin'. After producing the original green hairy penicillin, he put them into the culture medium to continue culturing, and then extracted them. In this way, the efficacy of the medicine became stronger.
The Zhang family sent someone to report that it was safe, and Zhang Anshi breathed a long sigh of relief, so much so that Zhang Anshi even had the idea of opening a pharmacy to make money.
But this thought was fleeting, because this thing cannot be extracted on a large scale, and the yield is frighteningly low. I, the wife of the dignified prince Zhang Anshi, what can I do wrong?
Just when he was staying on the patio of his yard with his eyes closed.
At this time, a eunuch came. This eunuch's name was Deng Jian, who was from the East Palace. Of course... Zhang Anshi lost his parents, and his sister could not take care of his brother at any time in the East Palace, so almost all the servants of Zhang Anshi's family were appointed by the East Palace.
The eunuchs in the East Palace not only served as housekeepers for the Zhang family, but also helped Zhang Anshi manage the family business.
Deng Jian smiled and said: "Young Master, I have just returned from the East Palace. Their Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess called me to ask if you have eaten today?"
"Eat, eat."
"what did you eat?"
"Why are you so busy?"
Deng Jian still maintained a professional smile: "Master, please don't be angry. Isn't this... His Highness and the Empress are thinking about you? Your Highness said, don't run around these days."
Zhang Anshi asked in confusion: "Why?"
Deng Jian: "There is news in the palace that His Majesty was furious in the past few days and punished many young men like the young master. His Majesty has a fiery temperament, so the young master should be careful."
"Oh. I know."
"Especially Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu. Master, please avoid interacting with them. They are not good people."
But at this moment, a sinister voice said: "Who said I'm not a good person!"
Deng Jian was startled, and when he looked back, he saw a young man limping in.
Deng Jian recognized Zhu Yong, so he immediately fell silent and backed away.
When he saw Zhu Yong coming, Zhang Anshi was greatly surprised: "Why didn't you say hello when you came in?"
Zhu Yong said: "Brother's home is my home. If the concierge dares to stop me, I will break his legs and rush in directly."
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Yong and saw that he was limping. He couldn't help but express concern: "Second brother's injury..."
Zhu Yong spit out something: "My father beat me."
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhang Yong with empathy and said, "Mr. Cheng Guogong is too ruthless. He is poisoned by a tiger and can't even eat its seeds."
Zhu Yong immediately nodded and said, "It would be great if my father had an elder brother who was as sensible as him. He is still as ignorant as an old fool at his age."
Zhang Anshi: "As long as you know it in your heart, don't say these things outside."
"Why?"
Zhang Anshi stared at Zhu Yong deeply: "If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. If you are superior to others, they will be rejected by everyone!"
Zhu Yong shook his head and then said: "But even though I was beaten, I didn't suffer any loss. Brother, I stole my father's money."
When Zhang Anshi heard this, he suddenly felt a chill on his back: "What...what..."
Zhu Yong grinned, and sure enough, he was carrying a baggage. He took the baggage off, and immediately the silver notes and scattered gold and silver fell out."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhu Yong said: "We will not be short of money in the future." He looked around and continued: "Brother, this place is quite cramped. It is not like my Chengguo Duke's Mansion, which occupies a large area and has new decorations. Brother, I
I'll take you to eat and drink."
Zhang Anshi lowered his head and looked at Zhu Yong's lame leg, and then at the bundle of gold and silver: "Second brother, please come back."
Zhu Yong frowned and said, "Isn't this what the elder brother said about asking for money?"
"this……"
Zhang Anshi wants to die, this is a pig teammate.
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, this money... let's calculate it first. I will also search how much money our Zhang family has. After we make a deal, when we make money, you have to secretly
Return the money."
Deng Jian was standing in the distance. He was quite wary of Zhu Yong, so he kept his ears open. When he heard this, Deng Jian's face twitched.
…………
An hour later.
"Your Highness, it's not good, it's not good." Deng Jian ran to the East Palace out of breath.
Zhu Gaochi was playing with his son Zhu Zhanji. When he saw Deng Jian coming over panting, he stood up with a big belly, put his hands behind his back, and winked at the eunuch beside him, who hurriedly took Zhu Zhanji away.
"Why, what happened to An Shi? Doesn't he eat on time?"
Deng Jian said anxiously: "Zhu Yong, the son of Duke Cheng, Zhu Neng, went to see Master An Shi again today..."
As he spoke, Deng Jian's voice became softer and softer, and he vividly reported what had just happened: "Your Highness, that silver was most likely stolen and came from the wrong way. Mr. An Shi lost his head.
He told him that he wanted to take out his own money and do business together... Zhu Yong has a deer head and rat eyes, and he has evil intentions at first sight. He wants to harm Mr. An Shi."
Zhu Gaochi frowned, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said in his mouth: "Don't Duke Cheng Guo discipline his children? It's really unreasonable. It's a small thing for An Shi to have no money, but it's a big deal... Donggong will find a way to subsidize him."
But if he does something again, if my father hears something again, he won’t be lenient, don’t forget Zhang Fu’s mistakes!”
Deng Jiandao: "Yes, yes, I think so too. We, Mr. An Shi, have all been taught bad things by people like Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong."
Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath and said: "Forget it, this matter involves the Duke of the State, so you should not make it public. I will find a way to remedy it."
…………
In the blink of an eye, late autumn has arrived, and the city of Nanjing has become cooler. Leaves have fallen one after another, and the dead leaves have been swept down by the wind and fallen into the mud.
Today, many people came to Changyingcang in the east of the city.
This is the day when officials in the capital receive their salaries.
As usual, the middle door of Changying warehouse is wide open, and a head of the household department is sitting here in person.
Many people filed in.
However, most of the people who come here are people in green clothes and small hats. They come to receive their salary on behalf of their masters.
There are also many low-level officials wearing winged hats and Tsing Yi who come here. There are many officials in the capital, and their situations are different. Those with high positions and powerful positions may not take these salaries seriously.
There are also some low-ranking officials with rich family fortunes who disdain the court's salary.
Of course... this may not be the case for everyone. For example, there are a bunch of people who come in groups. Although they are all wearing official uniforms, their faces are a little shabby. They are often young, not high-ranking, and come from poor families. It is not easy to do it.
Although he is an official, he has no authority. In this city of Nanjing, he lives on these salaries.
Now these people came in a hurry, with expectations. The first one was joking with others: "Brother Shixian... I will receive my salary later, and it's rare to bump into Mu Xiu again. Why don't we go have a drink."
"Bo Yan...this...is not to dampen your interest. I'm just a bitch with a bad temper. Hey..."
Everyone laughed.
The man called Boyan looked embarrassed. His surname was Zhang and his given name was Boyan. Zhang Boyan shook his head and immediately entered the main hall of Changyingcang.
Immediately afterwards, he took out his name card and handed it to the clerk beside him. The clerk took out the abacus, clicked it a few times, and after doing some calculations, he took out a few treasure notes and handed it over to the official.
When Zhang Boyan saw it, his face became solemn. He glanced at the treasure banknotes in his hand, and then said: "How come this monthly salary is converted into treasure banknotes?"
The literary official responded with a smile: "Editor Zhang, hasn't the imperial court banned silver? So from now on, all money and grain will be converted into treasure notes. You see, you are seventh grade, according to the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao
, the annual salary is two hundred gu per meter, which is converted into sixty guan of treasure notes. The annual salary is 60 guan, converted on a monthly basis, isn’t it just five guan of treasure notes?”
