Song Beiyun

"Medical officer?"

"The old man is almost ninety, and he found a 19-year-old girl in Chang'an a few days ago to make Yan Shu a sister-in-law." Song Beiyun couldn't help laughing when he said this: "There is always a way for such a strange person. "

"and then?"

"Then he told me that there is actually a way, but it is more dangerous than evil. That is, in the mountains and forests of Jiangxi and Hunan, there is a kind of fungus that was used by ancient alchemists to refine Gu. It can make checkmates The people who deal with it will last from a few days to a few years."

"Then you feed me?"

"How can it be? What I want is days to years? What I want is your recovery." Song Beiyun picked up the fishing rod and sat next to Miaoyan: "I asked someone to bring this thing over, and found that this A particularly rare fungus is a symbiont of mold and fungus. Can this thing be eaten directly by humans? That’s a good person who will be eaten to death. But it is certain that there are a lot of probiotics in it, because it is particularly edible and It also inhibits wound inflammation."

"and then?"

"Of course, the isolated strains are cultivated independently, and then the probiotics are brought out. Anyway, it's a dead horse as a living horse medicine, right." Song Beiyun sighed: "You definitely don't want to know what strain I cultivated, so I won't talk about it .”

"talk!"

"Horse essence..."

The wonderful words were spat out right then, more fiercely than Fo Bao Nu...

"This is making a nest, don't waste it!" Song Beiyun hurriedly swung the pole out, waiting for the witty words to finish.

"I shouldn't know..." Miao Yan wiped his mouth: "You continue."

"Then I and the people in the medical school kept simulating the intestinal environment for about two months. During this period, I have been giving you ginseng extract, trying to save your dog's life first." Song Beiyun smoked Nose: "Then it is relatively successful."

"and then?"

"Because those bacteria are not tolerant to stomach acid and bile salts." Song Beiyun sighed, "The only way I can do it is to give you medicine and use a syringe after you fall asleep..."

"Pause!"

Miao Yan's eyes widened, and he looked at Song Beiyun in disbelief: "You mean you want me to download it from that place?"

"That's right, the culture fluid was injected directly into it. After observing it for a while, I put on your pants after seeing that it stopped flowing out." Song Beiyun touched his chin: "Don't get excited, this is a doctor with the patient."

If Miaoyan had a machete at hand, she would have chopped off Song Beiyun's head with one blow...

"Later, you found out that you didn't realize that during this period of time, your food intake was several times larger than before."

"You mean... the training was successful?"

"If it doesn't work, I should be going to your grave now." Song Beiyun sighed, "But it only takes more than two months, so it's a real gamble. Your life is not bad."

"But I'm not fat either..."

"You may still be weak for a while, and you will have to wait for a few years. You are a Gu person now, all your energy must be supplied to those bacteria first, and you can only absorb it when the bacteria eat the rest and pull it out. "Song Beiyun leaned on the chair and said lightly: "Your vitality will slowly recover when you both achieve perfect symbiosis in the future."

Miao Yan frowned: "Why haven't I heard of this kind of thing? It's so amazing that people in the future can't discover it?"

"It is definitely possible, but this combination of multi-species is particularly sensitive to temperature, humidity, salinity, pH, etc. Jiangxi is close to Guangdong, and Hunan is close to Changsha. Only a little place can grow , Even in ancient books, it was mentioned in one stroke, and it has developed into that in the future, and this thing may be extinct long ago. That's why there are substitutes like Baba capsules."

Miao Yan shuddered, thanks to Song Beiyun being Song Beiyun, if it were someone else, he would really be helpless.You know, although he said it easily, in this era, it is absolutely as difficult to bring such a sensitive fungus group alive to the laboratory in a short period of time as Hongchen Yiqi Feizixiao.

This requires great power, because the resources of the military are mobilized. If it is replaced by someone else, the disease may not be cured, and the person will be pulled out and dealt with by military law.

"I can't watch you die before me." Song Beiyun raised his legs and said, "Anyway, I'll let this go, I must die first."

"You are so selfish."

"Hey! I'm so selfish."

Song Beiyun picked up the rod, found it was empty, and continued: "By the way, I think Gu art can really be developed, and there are many things in it that are really suitable for future medicine. Modern medicine is a big project. Preserving the essence, bringing forth the new through the old, no matter what kind of medicine, as long as it can cure the disease, it is a good doctor.”

"Then how many courses of treatment do I need?"

When Miao Yan spoke, her tone was weak. She really would rather die than eat Baba capsules, and this thing stuffed from the bottom to the inside is actually not that good...

But after all, it can save my life, I just hope that the course of treatment will not be too long.

"It's as little as five years, as much as the second half of your life."

Miaoyan shuddered all over, she even lost the rod when she got on the fish.

"Oh! It's a pity." Song Beiyun stood up and watched the pole being dragged into the water: "It's a big fish."

And in the afternoon, Fo Baonu finally got up, her complexion recovered a lot, and she didn't vomit anymore after getting used to the rocking of the boat a little, but her appetite wasn't great either.

She came to the deck, looked at the island not far away, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Science test."

"You are also amazing, you can gather so many people who like this thing together." Fo Baonu shook his head and said: "This is a group of strange people."

The camera is no longer a magical object in the Academy of Sciences. It has developed quite well since Song Beiyun got it out, but the picture quality is not very good and it is all black and white, but it is more like those abstract paintings. look.

So what Fo Baonu saw was the strange appearance of this group of people when they gathered in a group and took pictures of the corresponding animals and plants.

It's kind of funny, to be honest...

"Okay, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Any one of these people will be a priceless treasure in the future." Song Beiyun has explained the general idea of ​​system science many times, but he really can't reverse the concept of most people. And impression: "You eat something, there is porridge in the pot, scallop porridge."

Fo Bao Nu said, "Go get me a bowl."

"Got it, go ahead and wait."

"I don't." Fo Baonu hugged Song Beiyun's waist from behind: "I won't go..."

Chapter 833: Sunny August 6, Nine Years

Jinling City.

Jinling City hadn't been harmed by Song Beiyun for almost five years, but even without him, no one in Jinling City dared to mess around, because that name was enough to deter people with ulterior motives on this three-acre land.

Today's Jinling, in the days when Song Beiyun was not around, the size of the city has almost doubled or a little more, because the population has more than doubled, and it is still growing.

According to the statistics conducted by the School of Statistics under the School of Mathematics, in the past ten years, the population of the entire Song Dynasty can be said to have risen in a straight line. When the population was vaccinated, there were about 440 million people in the Song and Liao Dynasties. 700 million people.

In that year, the birth population of the Song Dynasty was about 140 million, which was considered to be the first wave of baby boom since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and this benefited from the major reform of the food policy and the reform of medical and health conditions.

But in the following years, there will be a baby boom every year, and even the famine years will not stop the Chinese from giving birth to children.

In the past ten years, the average annual birth population has soared from the initial 51 to 230 million.

The total population plus the return of land to the Song Dynasty and immigrants from other places, the total has exceeded the 6000 million mark, and the number of people is about 500 million, which is already the total population of the Song and Liao lands ten years ago.

The Liao Kingdom also broke through the 4000 million mark, and the population of the two countries has exceeded 2000 million. After the turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty, there were only [-] million people left, and the population has finally returned to its peak.

However, the increase in population is accompanied by the increase in domestic demand, and the food problem has once again been placed in front of everyone.

Sweet potatoes have begun to be planted, but considering weather changes, geological disasters and other issues, there may still be a relatively large food crisis in the next ten years.

But now, playing music and dancing, the life of urban people has stabilized, and the rest is waiting for various problems and opportunities brought about by urban expansion. The first batch of officials selected from engineering have entered the stage of history. And the changes brought about by these people have changed "the name outside the Donghua Gate is Haoerlang" to "down-to-earth, seeking truth from facts".

The most intuitive changes in the capital city in the past ten years, in addition to more people, larger places, and beautiful houses, there is also more pressure in life and more competition.But that can't be helped, because too many people flock here wanting a more decent life.

Businessmen feel that it is difficult to do it, and officials are even more difficult to do it, because the number of literate people seems to have increased overnight. In the past, those higher-level government offices did not know how to open their muddy legs, but now they can really hold newspapers. The policy at the top pointed the nose at the officials around them and scolded them for their inaction.

Poetry and poetry are no longer the benchmarks of the upper class, and the glorious poets and poets have quietly come to an end. Now people admire those who can wear a formal attire and carry a lambskin bag to enter and exit the Academy of Sciences.

This is how the world has been changed little by little. Everyone is in it, and there is no obvious or intuitive feeling, but a little comparison is already a judgment.

The pedestrian street in the city is a pedestrian street, whether it is a dignitary or a general or a prime minister, horse riding is not allowed anyway, and it is not like there are people who drink and mess around, but I saw the newspaper early the next morning. The headlines on the front page just ran away, and when the court meeting came, the emperor would probably hold the newspaper and scold his head and face, and then pull it out to let the Jingzhao government do it to make the people angry.

There must still be people's lives recklessly, but at least there is no way to be so blatant, at least in the capital, no one under the feet of the emperor dares to be as reckless as before.

Those gangsters who bullied and dominated the market in the past, now wear a red cloth armband and start to maintain order, and pay a management fee of [-] yuan every month, so the businessmen are happy to relax.

In the past, only the upper class could go to the academies, but now there are not many left, but the schools that accept students according to the photo area are blooming everywhere.

One thing is not good, that is, the famous Qinhuai Fengyue is gone, the flower boats in the past have been changed into restaurants, and those big and small oirans have also fallen into the homes of ordinary people.

The casino is gone, but there are more Goulan theaters. The big bosses in the casino used to be all-powerful, but now they come to the front of the stage one by one in well-dressed clothes, and promote their new dramas in Goulan together with others.

Because of this, the author of this play took advantage of the wind, and those poor scholars who used to hide in the corners and wrote ulterior and obscene songs have suddenly become hot and popular.

However, if someone wants to taste the taste of the Qinhuai River again, it is not that there is nowhere to go. Some places where the city and the country meet, there are still some corners left, but the people who go there are Be careful, because that place is not protected by the laws of the Song Dynasty.

Now this Jinling City, when foreigners come here, they can only sigh. Every country has similar legends about the Golden City in their own mythology, and they only know what the real Golden City is after they come here.

"Ding Xiang, I heard that there are merchants from outside Jinling city selling slaves recently?"

Yan Shu came to visit, and Ding Xiang was writing at his desk at the moment.

Ding Xiang, who was in his 40s back then, is now in his sixties, his temples have been stained with hoarfrost, and he looks somewhat haggard, while Yan Shu is in his youth, although he is no longer the handsome, free and easy man of his youth. , but after Song Beiyun wrote a letter asking him to control his diet, he was actually a handsome uncle with an outstanding demeanor, and those little girls who were [-], [-], and [-] or [-] would exclaim again and again when he went out.

"Well, Prime Minister Yan came just in time. I'm here to handle this matter." Ding Xiang took off the tortoise-shell reading glasses Song Beiyun gave him, and stopped writing: "The laws of the Great Song Dynasty clearly prohibit the sale and purchase of slaves, but they never involve foreign slaves. Now that something like this has happened, it turns out that the law is not strict.”

"Let me tell you." Yan Shu smiled and said, "It's better to bring the Chang'an Law Code and unify the two sides."

Ding Xiang was silent for a moment, but nodded: "It's just that the laws of Chang'an are more or less disregarding the face of the royal family."

"The face of the royal family... Sigh..." Yan Shu sighed and said, "Yes, if it doesn't work, I'll go to the official's house to have a look, after all, he will nod."

"Ah."

Yan Shu said goodbye and left, and went to look for Zhao Xing, but was told that Zhao Xing was not there. Yan Shu's lungs almost exploded at the time, and after repeated questioning, he learned that Zhao Xing had run away two days ago, and he is now in the On the way to Hongzhou.

When asked what the servant Zhao Xing was doing, the servant faltered for a long time.

"Speak!" Yan Shu frowned: "You bastard, you're hiding things like this!"

The servant was extremely aggrieved: "Lord Yan...that's an official family, how dare I."

When I think about it, it is true. With Zhao Xing's virtue, it is really impossible for a subordinate to control him.To deal with that guy, Song Beiyun had to come.

"That's all."

Yan Shu went straight into the palace, found Zhao Xing's upper study, and took out a steel box with a chain hanging from the table. Yan Shu skillfully took out the key from his waist and opened the box. Inside was Zhao Xing's imperial jade seal.

He stood by and drew up a document, then covered it with the jade seal, put the things back in place, rolled up the document, and left in a cool manner.

Going back to Ding Xiang and telling him the matter, Ding Xiang also stroked his forehead and sighed.

"It depends on our officials." Ding Xiang couldn't help teasing: "He is the most leisurely person in the world."

"I don't want to do it anymore." Yan Shu put the documents on the table angrily: "I don't see him a few times a year, and he's not afraid of going out to play once and coming back to his hometown to be taken away."

"He is not afraid, the military power is in his hands." Ding Xiang said with a smile: "Forget it, let him make trouble, anyway, he has that temperament."

But Yan Shu said unwillingly: "To be honest, if I hadn't gotten this aspect, I would have gone to find Song Beiyun a long time ago. He has a lot of fun and interesting things on his side. He is not like me. Every day, he is accompanied by a group of people." The old man who is old and tired, made me old too."

Ding Xiang coughed.

"I'm not talking about you, Ding Xiang, but those old scholars."

"I know, I know, but the old man will retire in a few years, and then I will go to Chang'an to discuss Taoism with my uncle. Chang'an Codex is his major."

"Don't, old Ding!" Yan Shu was anxious at that time: "I can't bear it if you leave."

Lao Ding didn't pay attention to him, he just said with a smile: "You must allow me to return to my roots after all."

Well, I can't talk today, Chinese people, the fallen leaves are the biggest, or my old father-in-law is also clamoring about going to Luoyang these days.Even if Yan Shu told him that Luoyang was now the capital of the Liao Kingdom, it wouldn't work, he just wanted to go back to Luoyang.

"Yan Xiang, you have worked hard these days, why don't you take your wife and children outside to play for a while." Ding Xiang said suddenly: "The Four King Kongs below you are enough to be alone, why don't you use Xiangguo's Why don't you go to Haizhou?"

"To check the people's sentiments in Haizhou?" Yan Shu raised his brows, "It's possible."

Ding Xiang looked at him with a smile, but Yan Shu suddenly slapped his head: "No way, if the officials know about it, why don't they eat me raw?"

"Didn't the official family go to Hongzhou?"

How smart Yan Shu was, he cleaned up the tail of the work that afternoon, and then handed over the work in hand for the next two months to the people below him, and then brought his father-in-law, wife and The son left Jinling City.

The reason for taking the old father-in-law with him is because without the old father-in-law, there is no way to explain to Zhao Xing. After all, Zhao Xing is going to take a big boat in his sleep these days. Yan Shu left him like this. It would be strange if it was lifted.

"Run quickly, don't let the officials get the slightest word." Yan Shu urged in the car: "Use your wife's document for leaving the city!"

Chapter 834: Sunny August 6, Nine Years

Needless to say, the scenery in early summer, in addition to the fact that there are few bandits in the south, and the official roads are well-organized, so the journey is fast.

From Jinling to Haizhou, it is only seven hundred miles, which is not too far, and a hundred miles a day is not too big a problem, but because the old man in the car can't stand the bumps, Yan Shu's journey is not fast, It has been four or five days before we will arrive in Huaiyin.

Today's Huaiyin is still the beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is still so bright and charming. Yan Shu, who hasn't been here for a long time, is no longer in a hurry, but is planning to stay here with his family for two days. Eating local snacks is also an excellent thing.

The only fly in the ointment is that the entrance tickets to several scenic spots and ancient temples here are quite expensive, which makes this season, which should be full of tourists, look deserted. Apart from a few monks, there are clay statues of Bodhisattvas squatting on the main hall.

But this is probably exactly what a temple should look like.

The development of Huaiyin is obviously not comparable to that of Jinling, and the old appearance can still be seen here, mainly because many young and middle-aged laborers have concentrated in Jinling City, and the land outside has been sublet to government farms for contracting. Most of the people wandering on the street are old people who have nothing to do. They have land and money, and their children and grandchildren are not around, so groups of old people can be seen everywhere on the street, playing chess and cards.

Since Song Beiyun changed the leaf card that was popular in the Tang Dynasty into a mahjong card a few years ago, it is now one of the most popular gadgets from the princes and ministers to the common people when they have nothing to do. Most of the people below are clattering wooden carved mahjong. Most of the rich old men will choose a set of muddy glass, and it will look a lot more face-saving among the old men.
