Don't be a prince

The cotton supply in Xiazhou has been fully supplied. Judging from the current weather in Chang'an, at least Yanzhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou, and Xiazhou have completely withstood the cold disaster this time.Although the delivery of supplies by the imperial court was somewhat of an afterthought, the imperial court still received memorials of thanks from the governors of various states on behalf of the people.

After reading these memorials, Li Shimin looked at the few people in the audience and asked, "Auxiliary machine, how much is the household expenditure this time?"

Because it was a small court meeting, Changsun Wuji let go a little, stood up neatly, cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the household department has spent a total of 15 guan, because of the urgent transportation, many people and animals have frostbite. In addition, this time the meritorious cavalry needs to be rewarded, and there may be an expenditure of about [-] guan in the future. Overall, for the household department that has not yet received new taxes, it can be regarded as a broken bone. Among them, [-] guan , It was disassembled by Wei Chen from the bill for backup disaster relief."

Li Shimin didn't care about Changsun Wuji's self-assertion. After all, the order he gave at the beginning was to use all means to complete the task this time.Although he is the Minister of the Household Department, Changsun Wuji can't afford to use his own money to pay for the public account.

Nodding his head, Li Shimin said: "It's still acceptable. What's commendable this time is that our court and I have not received scolding from the people, but have received gratitude from the people. Xiangli Xuan Prize, how about the cultivation of Champa Rice?" gone?"

After experiencing the false report incident, Xiangli Xuanju took the opportunity to clean up some officials inside Sinong Temple with a thunderous force. Now the atmosphere of Sinong Temple is one of the most upright, and he is really willing to put down his body and work hard.

Leaving the table, Xiangli Xuan rewarded and said: "Last year, Sinong Temple used a total of 130 mu of land with different levels of fertility from the Lai State Government, and obtained a total of [-] shi of rice. The output is gratifying. Now Sinong Temple has We are planning to develop the land of the two lakes for rice planting, please agree with your Majesty."

"Develop the two lakes."

Li Shimin on the throne covered his head. When the world was pacified, he never thought that he would encounter such a problem.

Not troubles, but troubles of happiness.Not to mention that there is still a large amount of land in the Central Plains that needs to be developed, even the territories of the Eastern Turks are barely hanging on until now.As for the territory of Xue Yantuo and Tuyuhun, the strategy of confinement is still adopted to this day. It is not known how much time it will take to really occupy it.

Just ask, how many emperors have encountered such a problem?

Sighing, Li Shimin said: "It's not feasible for the time being. At present, the eastward expedition to Korea is the most important thing. The development of the two lakes will inevitably require a lot of investment, and it is likely to occupy a lot of energy from the court. If you have an idea, I think you might as well follow the example of the East Palace in laying the railway, do the exploration first, make a detailed plan, and then implement it.

One year is enough to pacify Korea.So Xiangli Xuan Award, I will give you three and a half years, do you understand? "

Xiangli Xuan Prize nodded and accepted the order.

"In addition, cotton planting in Henan Province should continue to be promoted. Since corn is about to be promoted and Champa rice is also harvesting a lot, it will take up some land, so planting cotton is not a problem. This kind of good material for keeping out the cold should enter tens of millions of households It is. The so-called peaceful and prosperous times are nothing more than no strong enemies outside, no worries inside, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

For the common people, the so-called living and working in peace and contentment means having enough food, warm clothes, and no shortage of places to live.Seeing that the item of "eating enough" will soon be realized by us, it is time to try to dress warmly. "

Xiangli Xuan Prize knelt down and said: "It is a blessing for me to be an official in the prosperous Tang Dynasty! I know about it, and when the New Year's day is over, I will go to Henan Road in person!"

Li Shimin nodded: "Alright, then you can go there yourself."

After confirming this matter, Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Auxiliary machine, Koryo's preparations must be made as soon as possible. When the three-year period expires, we will march eastward. The Kumoxi clan and Khitan surrendered earlier. Datang is not sincere. Now, they have abandoned their territory and moved their tribes to the Great Wall of Goryeo. Although we are carefully preparing, they have already prepared for the worst. Although Goryeo Small, but if we unite with Shiwei Mohe and other clans, our Tang Dynasty may not be able to take advantage of it."

Changsun Wuji solemnly agreed.

Furthermore.... is the matter of recruiting soldiers.

No need to call, Hou Junji stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, Hedong Dao, Hebei Dao, and Henan Dao have recruited a total of more than 20 troops, plus the three Dao's own government soldiers. When we move eastward, there will be [-] troops for His Majesty to drive. With the addition of troops from Guannei, Shannan and other roads, it will not be difficult to gather [-] troops."

"Oh? 20. He Dongdao has given me face this time."

Chapter 472

In any case, Li Shimin never expected that Hedong Dao would give face so much this time. It stands to reason that although Hedong Dao has a large area, its population is still concentrated in the Taiyuan area, and even the surrounding areas of Taiyuan are generally controlled by the Wang family.This time, the recruitment of troops in Hedong Road went so smoothly, perhaps, the Wang family played an active role in it.

This, this is too unexpected, when did these guys become so considerate?

If something goes wrong, it is a monster. Regarding the troops of Hedong Road, Li Shimin thought about the arrangement for them almost immediately.

"That's right, a 20 army. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Korea, he claimed to have an army of one million, but in fact there were only more than 20. I led an army of 20, and with gunpowder weapons, I was absolutely invincible. Hou Junji , you have been doing this for a few years as the Minister of the Ministry of War, how about it, this time, do you want to go out with me?"

Hou Junji immediately knelt down on one knee, and said decisively: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have always felt uncomfortable holding a pen in my hand all these years. I always thought that one day I could follow Your Majesty before going to the battlefield. Your Majesty wants to conquer Korea. Please allow me to I will accompany you all. If Your Majesty can entrust me with a large army to go to the battlefield, I will be so grateful!"

If Li Chengqian were here, he would definitely comment that what he said was quite technical.And Li Shimin also knew very well that this guy probably had already thought up such a wording, and was just waiting for himself to ask.

But yes, not to mention Hou Junji, even I feel that holding a pen is not as refreshing as holding a saber.Although the life of marching is hard, the sense of accomplishment is completely different from the sense of accomplishment that comes from being an emperor.

"Get up, you have to arrange the matter of the Ministry of War before you go to Korea."

After ordering Hou Jun to gather, Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "If there is nothing else to do, then retreat, Fang Qing, stay and chat with me."

Changsun Wuji and the others resigned one after another, leaving Fang Xuanling standing at the bottom, waiting for the emperor to step down.

After leaving the court, the monarch and his ministers became much more casual. Fang Xuanling followed the emperor and said, "Your Majesty asked the old minister to stay here to tell you about the time when you went to Korea. It seems that your majesty will , I want the old minister to stay in Chang'an again."

Li Shimin laughed, turned around and patted Fang Xuanling on the shoulder and said, "If it was the first year of Zhenguan, if you had the intention to go out for a walk, I might take you with me. As for now, forget it. You and the auxiliary machine They are different. They have all been on the battlefield. As for you, you hacked a few people to death with a knife. Especially since you are not too young now, you can’t stand the hard work of marching. It’s not just you , Keming, Wei Zheng, the three of you must stay.

Now that I'm gone, all government affairs will be handed over to the prince.Don't look at the crown prince who sits in Shangshu Province, he does a lot of things well, and in recent years he knows that he has taken on great responsibilities.However, this kid has always been more radical. Now that the government and internal affairs have stabilized, many of his decisions seem far-sighted, but in fact there are elements of eagerness for quick success.He is qualified to be a good emperor, but he is still a little short of being a perfect emperor.

You are all sophisticated old people. With your assistance, I can safely hand over all the government affairs to the crown prince. "

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not satisfied. To be honest, His Highness the Crown Prince can grow to this level, which is beyond the imagination of the old minister. At the beginning, the old minister expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would be a good one." It is not bad to be a successful king, now it seems that he is very likely to surpass you, Your Majesty, and at worst, he can also be named with you."

Li Shimin was not angry because of Fang Xuanling's words, but smiled and said: "That's what I want, not to mention Chengqian, Gao Yang seems to be pregnant."

Speaking of this matter, Fang Xuanling was very happy: "I am pregnant, just because I was conceived during the big funeral, I am really worried that it will attract others' tongues."

Li Shimin said helplessly: "There is nothing to be afraid of. Fang Yi'ai is not your eldest son. Although I have granted him the status of a guard of the imperial city, he is not a real power, and he cannot enter the ranks of the top nobles. Gao Yang It's good to be a princess, but she's also the daughter-in-law of your Fang family, besides, she doesn't have to follow the rules so seriously as a granddaughter."

After experiencing Gao Yang's incident, Li Shimin also felt that it was not appropriate to follow the rules of Princess Shang's consort.Among other things, his sisters have become like cesspit people.It was also because he was negligent in monitoring these princesses, thinking that women are not as ambitious as brothers, but who knows, he almost pushed his girl into the pit of fire.

The two monarchs and ministers came out of the Taiji Hall and did not go to the Liangyi Gate, but detoured to the Tongxun Gate.

Ever since the emperor detoured, Fang Xuanling knew that the emperor was going to see the prince.

To be honest, the prince's illness was indeed a bit scary.At the beginning, all the imperial physicians in the palace were dispatched, and after several tosses, the prince's fever failed to subside. Later, Daoist Sun was invited to come over overnight, and finally the prince was rescued.It was hard for Fang Xuanling to imagine how badly it would affect the succession of the throne if the crown prince fell ill.You must know that because the crown prince is too good, the party struggle that should have occurred did not occur.Once the prince's banner falls, the next step is likely to be the rise of the kings.

After passing through the training gate, there is a walking chariot rushing over without calling.The servants of the Eastern Palace are always very spiritual.

The monarch and ministers did not refuse, and they were quite tired from walking here from the Taiji Hall, so they sat on the chariot all the way to the Lizheng Hall.

When he got off the chariot, seeing Zhang Yun approaching, Li Shimin snorted softly and said, "Be quiet, if you dare to report, I will break his dog legs."

Fang Xuanling, who was following behind, smiled lightly. Every time the emperor came to the East Palace, he was like a spy. People really don't know how to evaluate it.

Both Junchen and Zhang Yun approached the prince's bedroom quietly. Although the bedroom is well sealed, it cannot achieve complete sound insulation after all.In particular, the Lizheng Hall has recently been replaced with transparent glass windows, and the figures inside can still be seen clearly.

-in the bedroom

Sun Simiao, who had already woken up, was trying hard to wake himself up. The best way, of course, was to drink a cup of coffee to refresh himself.

After he tried it, he found that although coffee tasted bitter and some were a little sour, it was indeed a good thing no less than tea.Not to mention refreshing, it seems to have a conditioning function for the stomach.It's just that you can't drink too much in a day, but if you drink too much, you will feel palpitations, which is really a pity.

When the emperor and others came to the window to eavesdrop, Sun Simiao also finished half a cup of coffee, looked at the prince on the other side of the table, and said: "The old man has woken up, and he is awake, Your Highness, your Guan Zi There is no need to sell it."

Li Chengqian nodded, took out a blank piece of paper, and placed it in the center of the table.Since arriving in Datang, he has developed the habit of talking while drawing. Tangren's fantasy ability is a mystery. Although it can be as high as "suspecting that the Milky Way falls nine days", when it comes to this kind of need to combine with reality, it is weak. No way.

After pointing out some points on the white paper, Li Chengqian said: "We always talk about adoptive and adoptive for some diseases, but how is it adopted? Why do some couples get along day and night, one of them gets typhoid fever, but the other doesn't?" won't be adopted?"

Sun Simiao said: "I have also done some research, old man. Although typhoid fever is mostly caused by cold, cold is not the main cause. Medical schools accept a large number of typhoid patients every year, but few of them are adopted by doctors and apprentices. Back then On the battlefield, His Royal Highness said that it is best for those who take care of the sick to wear masks and gloves. Now that I think about it, maybe this is the main reason to prevent adoption!"

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "That's right, this is indeed a good way to prevent typhoid fever from being adopted by others, but it is not absolute. It is recorded in the book I read at the beginning, the reason why diseases such as typhoid fever occur The main reason for infecting people is that they cause diseases. They are something similar to bugs, which invade the human body and cause diseases. However, unlike roundworms and the like, they are really too small, so small that they can't be seen with the naked eye. Unclear."

"This doesn't work either?" Sun Simiao took out a magnifying glass from his pocket.

Over the years, glass workshops have also been pursuing technological breakthroughs, and transparent glass is one of their achievements.As for the magnifying glass, although the magnification cannot be controlled well, it can be used anyway.The telescope was returned by Li Chengqian several times because it was still blurry.

Nodding, Li Chengqian said: "The glass workshop is still working hard on research. When they can make a microscope, we will take a big step forward. At least, we can figure out what the human body is made of. But, I'm afraid that even if the microscope is made, we still can't see the culprit of these diseases clearly. Although there is no way to really confirm the speculation about the pests, but judging from the effect of the masks and gloves, the possibility of this speculation is still very high."

Sun Simiao nodded, and took out his small notebook to write it down.

After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Li Chengqian continued: "Typhoid fever is adopted by people. Contact is one aspect. The main thing is that when a typhoid patient sneezes or even talks, the disease will be exhaled and passed to others. This is true for typhoid fever, and it is also true for passing on corpses and sores."

Sun Simiao quickly wrote down a few notes, and then asked: "If this is the case, then if you encounter such a patient, can you treat him as long as you wear a mask and gloves, without worrying about being adopted?"

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "That's not right. Our masks are not enough for protection. Although there are many layers, the diseases and insects like pimples don't necessarily have to enter the body through the mouth and nose. Therefore, once a Lupu patients, as long as they come forward to help him treat, it is estimated that ninety-nine out of ten will be adopted."

Sun Simiao asked suspiciously, "But didn't you say that there is a way to prevent it?"

"This will involve another piece of knowledge. Just like what I said just now, some people will not be adopted by typhoid patients. Why? Because people's bodies are different, just like yours, although He is not young, but his body is better than some young and strong. Therefore, even if he often touches typhoid patients during the consultation, he will not be adopted. For example, my guard Liu Mang is as strong as a cow. After a busy day in the severe cold, he got typhoid fever. If it were him, he might not even have a runny nose.

In the same way, haven’t you noticed that those patients who have contracted sores and survived will never suffer from sores again throughout their lives? "

Sun Simiao said: "There is such a saying, but the explanation given by the folks is that this person has already repaid his karma, and his life should not die, so he will not be possessed by Lushang again. Of course, the old Taoist does not believe this. It's nonsense, a disease is a disease, how can it be said that it is God punishing people?"

"As you said, this kind of statement is nonsense. In fact, the most accurate statement is that the person who is sick is not overwhelmed by the disease in the end, which causes his body to develop resistance to the disease. What I said Prevention and treatment is to artificially acquire this resistance. As long as there is this resistance, even if the doctor eats and sleeps with the patient, he will not be adopted."

Sun Simiao asked suspiciously: "You mean to take the initiative to contract the sores? This is not acceptable, not to mention that the disease can easily kill people, but after the disease is cured, the body will be full of scars, beyond recognition, no one will accept it."

Li Chengqian shook his head: "It's not sores, it's a disease similar to it. By suffering from another simple disease, it helps people gain resistance to sores. Although I haven't tried it yet, I think, The feasibility is nine out of ten!"

"Really?"

Sun Simiao attacked the case.

Almost at the same time, the door was also kicked open, and the same question sounded outside the door.

Li Chengqian looked towards the door in surprise, only to see that the emperor's father was inexplicably surprised, Fang Xuanling was very surprised, and Zhang Yun looked embarrassed.

This makes sense, the old bastard is so fucking listening to the corner!

Standing up and giving up his seat, Li Chengqian said: "It can only be said that we are very sure, but it is not [-]%. We have to practice it before we can say it is [-]%."

Sitting in Li Chengqian's seat, Li Shimin turned his head and asked, "Do you think we can try?"

"Yes, but who would dare to do such an experiment?"

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Sun Simiao, who was on the opposite side, said decisively: "The old man dares! Your Highness, please tell me, how to do this experiment? The old man will be a medicine man himself to verify your conjecture."

Li Chengqian said in surprise: "Sun Daochang, you can hear clearly, even if I speak in person, it is nine out of ten, not absolute. If you can't do it well, you will risk your own life."

Sun Simiao laughed loudly and said: "There is a good saying in Buddhism. Although the old Taoist is a Taoist priest, he must use it. That is, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell? As a doctor, is there anything better than this? Is the old Taoist excited about it? His Royal Highness may tell you that even if the old Tao dies because of the experiment, he will still be under Jiuquan, and he is grateful to His Royal Highness for his great kindness!"

"This...."

Li Chengqian was in a difficult situation. Although the vaccinia prevention method was proven to be effective, but after all, it was the data on the Internet, and no one could say whether it was 100% effective or not.If you really get rid of the problem and fold the old grandson into it, then...

Seeing the crown prince bowed his head and said nothing, Sun Simiao got up from his seat without hesitation, and just knelt down.

However, Fang Xuanling and Zhang Yun were beside him, and quickly supported him.

Holding Sun Simiao by his arm, Fang Xuanling said repeatedly: "No way, no way, Daoist Sun, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can't bear your etiquette!"

Li Shimin was also taken aback by Sun Simiao's actions. Even if he was the emperor, he was more willing to treat this benefactor who saved the three lives of the queen's son and prince with family courtesy.

Glancing at Li Chengqian, Li Shimin said: "Daozhang Sun, this matter is indeed not something that can be done casually. You are alone, and there is no need for comparison. Well, you might as well find some like-minded people. There are more people. It’s good to do this experiment, isn’t it?”

Sun Simiao found that what the emperor said was very reasonable.Nodding, Sun Simiao said: "That's true, His Royal Highness, wait a moment, I will find some people who are willing to do experiments with you. Your health has improved a lot, and I forgive you!"

After speaking, Sun Simiao picked up his robe and ran out. For the first time, he didn't refuse the chariot outside, and urged the eunuch who carried the chariot to go out quickly.

Seeing that Sun Simiao had left, Li Shimin stood up, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Chengqian, since there is a way to prevent and cure the sore, don't say that the probability is [-] to [-]%, even if it is very small, I have to try it. Since the large-scale outbreak, how many people do you think died of Lupus every year? Even though our Tang Dynasty seemed to be peaceful through singing and dancing, in fact there have been incidents of Lupus raging. However, because of the fear of causing panic, I and the past dynasties The choice of the emperor is the same, to seal off its territory and let it fend for itself.

Don't think I'm cruel, in fact, after discovering the strong contagiousness of Lupus, the emperors of all dynasties have done this.Even if the censor knew it, he would not impeach the emperor on this ground.Even Wei Zheng can tell which is more important.When I issued the blockade order back then, I almost gritted my teeth and broke a few pen holders, but I finally wrote it down.Sometimes, you are more considerate of the common people than I am, do you think, nine out of ten, is it a bet? "

Li Chengqian's eyes widened. He never thought that there are so many secrets about Lushang.It is no wonder that there are almost no records about the infection of Lupus in history, and even if there are, it is only a few words.It turned out that the emperors of all dynasties chose this cruelest approach.

It may be cruel, but I have to say that this is the most concise and effective method.

Nodding his head, Li Chengqian said: "Since you have said so, then I will tell you the method and bet on it this time!"

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and said, "It seems that your body has recovered, so I feel relieved. Come, sit down, and I will tell you something."

Chapter 473 Creating Buddhas and Gods

Going east to Koryo, and when Koryo has built the Great Wall and the Northeast countries work together, it must not be so easy to win.In fact, Li Shimin has already made preparations for more than three years of consecutive battles.

Handing over the government to the prince for such a long time, even if he has confidence in the prince, he can't hand it over casually.

This time is different from the previous tour in Qizhou. The prince has almost been promoted to the emperor's agent.

Many things that Li Shimin thinks are very important are actually nonsense to Li Chengqian.Although it was nonsense, he still listened carefully, and even wrote it down in a small notebook.

In any case, Li Shimin was a relatively successful emperor, and he was right. The idea of ​​"I can do it if I do it" often has a pitifully low probability of success.

The conversation lasted until late at night before it ended. The emperor and Fang Xuanling had a meal and a drink.The disaster relief work is over, and for the next period of time, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief. No matter who they are, they all hope that the country will be safe and sound.

After sending the emperor and Fang Xuanling away, Li Chengqian returned to the room, and seeing Ashina Xue helping him make the bed, he simply threw her on the bed with a tiger pounce.

Well, just cuddling and sleeping.

Early the next morning, I felt that my body was back to normal.I tried to do some push-ups indoors, only to find that I really recovered.

If this was my former self, I would definitely envy this body.Riding a small electric donkey to shuttle between high-rise buildings, eating irregular meals, the result is that old cold legs appear on young people, and the stomach is full of problems.If the seniority of the elders is to exchange their health for money, if it is put on the current generation, I am afraid that it has evolved to the level of exchanging their lives for money.

"When we are busy planning all kinds of tributes to youth, the youth are sleeping."

What an idiot must be to say such a thing, who the hell doesn't want to go to bed early and get up early like you?

far away...

Push-ups, sit-ups, punches, each doing half of your usual.Even if the body recovers briefly after a serious illness, it will not be able to return to normal immediately.

Just after Li Chengqian enjoyed his normal breakfast, Zhang Yun came in to report that Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, and Sun Simiao asked to see him.

Li Chengqian was not surprised that Sun Simiao came today, but the appearance of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng still made him extremely curious.
