I write novels in the East Palace

Thanks to the professionals sent by the imperial court to take over the major factories in Tianshui City, under the technical guidance of Zhou Chengyi, they improved and quickly popularized the new techniques, and the production rate of the entire mining industry has increased to a higher level.

However, although the output of coal has increased a lot, it is still too difficult to supply the entire Cangzhou.

This year, the war has been fought for more than half a year, and Ruchuan is particularly tragic. There is no intact land as far as the eye can see. However, the temperature in the north is too low in winter, and people will freeze to death if they are not careful.

When supplies are in short supply, it is natural to supply the dilapidated Ruchuan first, followed by Yanyun and other border towns.

Fortunately, there is cement, which is quick-drying and easy to paint. It can be used as new materials such as adhesives, exterior walls, and flooring. The reconstruction of Ruchuan is faster than expected. Due to the volume and length of the city wall, the current progress is less than Half, but the temporary houses put into use are almost done.

The supply of coal in Tianshui City is prioritized again. During such a difficult time in Ruchuan, there are no people who freeze to death as in previous years. However, frostbite is inevitable, and the number is much lower than in previous years.

However, although the weather is getting colder and the grasslands are getting more barren every day, what is unconventional is that the wolves appear more and more frequently. In the past, they only wandered around the border between Beihu and Shaman. The hinterland of Beihu has advanced hundreds of kilometers.

Look at it, it seems that they are coming straight to the border town of Xiao Kingdom.

Even Zhou Chengyi, who is usually not very politically sensitive, noticed something was wrong.

"What is this man trying to do? Is there any malice towards us?" he asked.

Zhong Liyue naturally noticed this pack of wolves a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have written the anomaly in the military newspaper when the other party hadn't done anything too outrageous.

There was nothing wrong with the other party from the beginning to the end. Zhong Liyue was not a domineering person, so he didn't ask his subordinates to expel him violently. He only strengthened the patrol of the territory and reported his whereabouts every once in a while.

However, Zhong Liyue is a very busy person. During the battle, he was busy arranging troops, and during the truce, he was busy training his subordinates and making up for the team's battle losses. Therefore, although he asked people to keep paying attention to the footprints of the wolves, he didn't wait until Zhou Chengyi found him. It was only when I came to the door that I really focused on this matter.

"This man is very familiar with the grasslands, especially the territory of the original Beihu. Obviously the leader is a Beihu." Zhong Liyue marked a few points on the border map and connected them in order according to the order of the wolves passing by. Draw a straight line with an arrow at the end.

"It is indeed for us." Shen Ping saw Yanyun City only one city away at a glance, and said with certainty.

Others naturally noticed it too, Zhong Liyue showed a playful smile, and tapped his finger on the map, "The wolves are advancing very fast, and they have crossed more than half of Beihu in less than three days, but they don't know why they are on the map." The longer this place rests, the farther away it is from Yanyun."

Normally, if they were rushing towards them, they should have arrived long ago. Why did they suddenly rest so close?

Zhou Chengyi frowned, pondered for a while and only came to an unreliable conclusion, "Maybe their destination is not Yanyun."

"Maybe." Everyone nodded without denying the possibility.

Regardless of whether it is a wolf or not, the winter solstice sacrifice ceremony is coming when the heavy snow disaster is coming fiercely during the prevention.

Zhou Chengyu was crowned on Zhangtai Mountain. After several months of working without a license, she finally became the legal queen. She changed her reign name to Anchang, hoping that this slaughtered land would be peaceful and prosperous.

Emperor Wen's 41-year rule came to a perfect end.

It was the first time for Zhou Chengyi to celebrate the New Year at the border, and he finally understood how sad the winter in the north without heating is.

The north wind blows the ground and the grass breaks, and the whistling and raging wind blows on the face like a knife. It is good to be alone when you go out, but you must have a painful and flushed face when you come in.

Zhong Liyue, who have been in the northern army all year round, are fine, but Zhou Chengyi, Fang Guanyan, Shen Ping and others, not to mention pampered before they came to the north, but they were all born in rich families, so they have never seen this symptom before.

After blowing like this, the chilblain is small, and the face is paralyzed by the blow. Of course, the three of them are young people, and it is not like this if they can't bear the wind. The symptom of facial paralysis appeared on an official of the Ministry of Industry .

Fortunately, the plague in Cangzhou was almost resolved. Most of the imperial doctors returned to Beijing, but a small number of them did not leave. For example, old imperial physicians Shen and Zhang imperial physicians were too old to survive the cold winter. For example, Shen Chong and others still want to save the aftermath, fearing that the epidemic will recur.

Imperial doctor Zhang was the one who gave the emperor massage treatment before. He is good at acupuncture points with silver needles. He contributed a lot to stabilizing the outbreak of the plague before; old imperial doctor Shen is already an octogenarian, and his teeth have all fallen out. , but looking at Shang Haoshuo, he is good at conditioning.

These two old gentlemen joined forces and rescued the facial paralysis of the official from the Ministry of Industry, and also helped him cure many dark diseases.

Speaking of this, I have to mention this Imperial Physician Shen Chong. Zhou Chengyi caught a cold after Duan Zhizhang returned to Beijing, and it was this Imperial Physician Shen Chong who prescribed the medicine when he went to see a doctor.

Coincidentally, on the day Zhou Chengyi went, Imperial Doctor Shen happened to save the lives of two people one after another. One was a little girl who accidentally fell into the frozen lake and looked at the lifeless little girl, and the other had something stuck in her throat. The young man who almost passed by.

Shen Chong skillfully used cardiopulmonary resuscitation and Heimlich first aid respectively.

——That's right, this person actually used modern first aid techniques!

Zhou Chengyi observed that he not only mastered the first aid technique, but also made a series of sophisticated medical equipment. The house where the clinic is not big, but divided into three areas, one is a consultation table, and the other is equipped with several beds. In the inpatient area of ​​the hospital, there is still a mysterious space surrounded by cloth curtains.

The curtain was pulled open, and there was an ordinary long platform inside, but there were some strange things on the platform, and there were quite a few specimens.

Even though this space was cleaned up very cleanly, Zhou Chengyi could tell at a glance that this was a test bench.

"Usually do experiments here?" Zhou Chengyi said, pointing to a bound book above, "Can I have a look?"

Shen Chong nodded, a little nervous, "It's just some boring stuff."

Zhou Chengyi opened this rough bound book, and found that there were a lot of data on it, densely packed with large pieces, most of which recorded the data of the plague, which can also be said to have conquered history. "Research analysis of "Epidemic Prevention Handbook", etc.

"It's very rigorous, but it should be summarized systematically, which looks more intuitive and clear." Zhou Chengyi also did a lot of experiments when he was in college, and because he was a class representative, he often served as an assistant to the tutor. I have quite a lot of experience.

He summed up his experience and told Shen Chong slowly.

Shen Chong's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly took out another rough-bound book from his chest. This book was made into a palm-sized book for easy portability, and he buried himself in writing while holding a charcoal pencil.

This is the advantage of having enough coal. With coal, there will be charcoal. Although charcoal pens are thick and not very good-looking to write, they are more convenient. You can take them out at any time and use them at any time. In an emergency, they are better than brushes that have to be ground for a while. easy to use.

It is impossible to investigate who first used the charcoal pencil, but it really became popular after Zhou Chengyi improved it.

He made the charcoal pencil into a slender strip, and then cut an imitation pencil sleeve to hold it, so that the originally very thin and long charcoal core is not easy to break when surrounded by wood, and he can write beautiful characters.

The charcoal pencil is darker in color, and Zhou Chengyi actually wanted a pencil more, but at this time, it was better than nothing, and he was quite comfortable to use it, and he even asked someone to put a pencil sharpener on his body.

Literati also have pursuits. After the usefulness of charcoal pencils gradually became apparent, they began to pick them up.

Fu Qian's mind turned so fast, he found that the manuscript sent by Zhou Chengyi had obviously changed to a different type of pen, so he asked his friends carefully, and immediately sensed a business opportunity. He was still in Beijing, so he sent people to Cangzhou first.

After some investigation, the first charcoal pencil factory settled in Tianshui City.

However, without the support of large machinery, the production volume of charcoal pencils is not very high, so they are not cheap to sell.

However, things related to culture are not always cheap. This charcoal pencil lasts a long time and is affordable, so there are actually a lot of people buying it, and the supply seems to be in short supply.

Fu Qian naturally made a lot of money again, very unhappy.

However, improving charcoal pencils is a matter for later. Zhou Chengyi not only proposed to Shen Chong the regulation of experimental data, but also proposed animal experiments.

"Some data are only conjectures that are vain after all, and some experimental verification is still needed."

Shen Chong agreed with this theory, "But there are so many kinds of animals in the world, can your Highness give me some advice?"

"White mice, rabbits..." Zhou Chengyi reported a few that are suitable for animal experiments, and said, "If you are in the late stage of drug testing, you can find someone to get a monkey or an orangutan."

Shen Chong was a little puzzled: "Why?"

"..." Because they are close relatives of humans.

Of course, Zhou Chengyi couldn't say that, so he just said, "They can walk upright, and they seem to be smarter than other animals."

In addition, Zhou Chengyi also proposed such things as anatomy, but it was more tactful, asking Shen Chong to go to those foremen to learn from them if he could.

"Only by understanding the structure of the human body can we treat diseases better." Shen Chong rejoiced.

The weather in Cangzhou is bad. In addition to the cold, there is actually low visibility caused by blizzards.

That's really the same as being blind, to the extent that you can get lost side by side.

By the end of December, the snow in Cangzhou has hardly stopped, which has become a natural barrier. It is impossible for any army to recklessly provoke disputes at this time, so the border has become more honest.

But the cold is cold, it's quite dry, and the pain in Zhou Chengyi's wrist is not as uncomfortable as when he was in Chang'an.

On such a cold day, the New Year's Eve is here.
