I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

Liu Xie ordered Luoyang Printing Factory to print tens of thousands of copies of "San Zi Jing Encouraging Learning".This time he tried his hand at engraving and printing, but he did not allow himself to fail, and vowed to spread it widely. In the future, the book series published by Luoyang Printing Factory will be as popular as modern textbooks.

In order to ensure sales and pay back, Liu Xie specially imitated the sales strategy of HEYTEA.First, all civil and military officials were ordered to receive one copy at the gate of the palace, which aroused everyone's attention.Then it started selling at the cost price at Luoyang Fangjian and Luoyang Menxuemen. A purchase restriction model was adopted, and each person could only buy one copy. On the first day, sailors were hired to create a phenomenon of queuing.

Families with a little extra money pay attention to enlightening their children, and this is a preface written by His Majesty himself, and compiled by Lu Zhi of Luoyangmen School of Jijiu. There is no need for follow-up guidance, and people line up to buy books every day.

Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and just ordered Luoyang Printing Factory to increase the price to sell to merchants who came to wholesale, in order to realize Luoyang Printing Factory's turnaround as soon as possible.At the same time, Lu Zhi was ordered to organize manpower to write the "Three Character Classics for the Country".He also asked the Luoyang Printing Factory to start preparing the Yangwen templates for the two books "Confucius" and "Mencius" in preparation for mass printing in the future.

Merchants can see the value of this book, and if they sell it to wealthy households all over the country, the profit will be more than doubled.Naturally, they don't mind the slight price increase. After the goods are in hand, these merchants can't wait to leave Luoyang, ready to go one step ahead and sell them at high prices in other states and counties.It was precisely because of this that Xi Zhicai and the others kept meeting merchants leaving Beijing on their way back to Beijing.

As for opening bookstore branches across the country and swallowing this profit, Liu Xie has never thought about it.The official does not compete with the people for profit, and he does not intend to intervene excessively unless it involves an important industry of people's livelihood.But maybe one day when the national treasury is full, we can follow the example of Xinhua Bookstore and set up non-profit bookstores in various places to borrow books for those who cannot afford books, and solve the employment problem of the wounded and disabled soldiers along the way.

In the booming sales of books, the Dragon Boat Festival is here.In the Han Dynasty, the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival was mainly to avoid bad luck, especially to get rid of plague, and gradually formed the custom of tying colored ropes, eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine.

In order to have fun with the people, Liu Xie ordered the Luoyang Canteen to make a large number of rice dumplings, which were not only given to the palace people and soldiers, but also distributed at the gate of the palace and in front of the Luoyang Medical Center.After eating rice dumplings in the morning, the palace people happily took the "auspicious money" rewarded by His Majesty, and they were so busy that they made rice dumplings, delivered rice dumplings, and coordinated transportation.

Liu Xie ordered Luoyang Garment Factory to prepare a large amount of five-color ropes of blue, red, yellow, white, and black, and rewarded them to the state shepherds, governors, and prefects of the thirteen continents in the world.

At this time, the more common name of zongzi is Jiaoshu, which is glutinous rice wrapped in wild rice leaves, mixed with millet, and boiled in ash juice (Note: quoted from "Feng Tu Ji").The taste is naturally not as good as modern rice dumplings, so Liu Xie personally wrote the internal distribution of modern rice dumplings to the imperial chef.The cheapest one is millet jujube rice dumpling, which is also the most produced.The cost is higher, and the taste is better for glutinous rice and red dates dumpling and glutinous rice and bean paste dumpling.The more expensive ones are fresh meat dumplings and fresh meat dumplings with egg yolk.

In order to distribute the zongzi, the Luoyang Medical Center became even busier, and even the waiters went out to help.On this day, there are also a lot of people seeing a doctor.After a busy day, everyone sat down and ate the three bamboo baskets of rice dumplings bestowed by His Majesty together until closing time.

Zhang Zhongjing has always been good at taking care of people, so he first gave a big rice dumpling to the child who just arrived at the hospital, and said lovingly, "Xiao Sun, eat quickly, don't starve to death."

Sun Quan quickly stood up and declined. He was young, but he was polite: "I am young, so I should invite the elders first."

Zhang Zhongjing said gently, "Sit down quickly, don't be humble."

Hua Tuo also said: "That's right, we've all been tired all day. Don't give way, don't be too particular about etiquette." After finishing speaking, he took a zongzi and began to peel it.

Sun Quan passed the big rice dumpling to Doctor Zhou, and still said modestly: "I have the smallest appetite, so I should eat the smallest one."

Doctor Zhou: "Children can be taught. Old Sun, you are very good at educating children."

Lao Sun stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "I dare not, I dare not."

The old and the young were precisely Sun Quan and his servant Lao Sun who had been lured to Luoyang by false roads.Sun Jian did not believe all the news from Luoyang brought by Yuan Shu, and wanted to send his loyal servants to Luoyang to inquire.Sun Quan never left home and volunteered to come with him.Sun Jian wanted to train his young son, and Sun Quan was smart and smart since he was a child. This trip was just to scout for news and there would be no danger, so he was relieved to let him and his loyal servant come to Luoyang.

After coming to Luoyang, Sun Quan, who was only seven years old, was very assertive.Seeing that the Luoyang medical clinic was recruiting people, and the medical clinic was obviously closely related to the royal family, he asked the other three to wait at the Luoyang inn and listen to people chatting in the listening library and wine shop.On the other hand, I came to the medical center to apply for a job with the old grandson who knew medical skills, and stayed here to check for news.Lao Sun became a doctor, and Sun Quan became his assistant.

The meat dumplings were delicious, and Hua Tuo couldn't help but praise: "It's worthy of being made in the palace. The pork belly is extremely soft and tender, with a lot of rice glutinous meat. It's delicious!"

Doctor Zhou reminded me coldly: "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep."

Hua Tuo ignored his cold face: "Oh, then don't talk about it, we are going to talk anyway."

Doctor Zhou turned his head sideways, picked up a rice dumpling with red bean paste and ate it in two or three bites.

Zhang Zhongjing was not greedy for his appetite, so he only ate one. After eating, he said: "There is an order in the palace today. When bandaging a patient, the cotton cloth should be boiled and exposed to the sun before use, lest the cotton cloth is not clean and the wound will fester again. Steward, You talk to the back chef, we need to add more work in the future."

The housekeeper also finished eating, and stood up looking for something to wipe his hands: "Shopkeeper, someone knows, and I will say hello to them tomorrow."

Hearing the word "gongzhong", Sun Quan quickly turned his ears to listen.

Doctor Zhou wondered, "What's the point?"

"You don't understand," Hua Tuo said triumphantly, "You medical officials spend your days in the Imperial Medical Office every day. If you don't study more on your own, you are out of date. As early as decades ago, we practiced medicine When I was young, I knew that silver needles and blades should be cleaned with boiling water after use.”

Doctor Zhou's face darkened as usual, but it was inconvenient to refute.It is true that most of the people in the Tai Medical Department only learned from family traditions, and usually do not have much contact with patients.Although His Majesty ordered them to come to the Luoyang Medical Center for consultation, most of them did not obey the schedule of the shopkeeper Zhang Zhongjing, and some even put on airs when they were on duty.

"Don't talk nonsense, you and I can see clearly that Doctor Zhou is treating patients in the Luoyang Medical Center all day long." Zhang Zhongjing stopped Hua Tuo and smoothed things over: "We didn't understand the reason for this, but it was scrubbed with boiling water. Things will be cleaner, like we don’t know why cotton cloths have been out in the sun all this time.”

He changed the subject: "Everyone knows that after the Dragon Boat Festival, epidemics are easy to breed. The palace also mentioned that needles and even wounds should be wiped with spirits to prevent epidemics. The housekeeper also has some spares."

Doctor Zhou recalled the records in the classics: "Alcohol can be used internally to cure diseases, why should it be used externally?"

Hua Tuo also wondered: "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic has a saying that since ancient times, the sages have made soup and mash to prepare their ears. Can this wine be applied externally?"

"Wine can dispel cold and activate blood. This is the first time I've heard that it also has the effect of preventing epidemics." Zhang Zhongjing thought for a while: "It must be that a doctor discovered this magical effect, so it spread to the palace."

Doctor Zhou also felt: "The government will not aim at nothing."

Zhang Zhongjing nodded: "Drinking too much alcohol can hurt your health, but alcohol is a good thing for healers. Let's try the effect on those wounds that are not seriously injured tomorrow."

Hua Tuo began to peel another glutinous rice dumpling with bean paste, took two bites with satisfaction, and asked, "Zhongjing, do you have any other orders from the palace?"

Zhang Zhongjing glanced at Sun Quan and said, "It seems a bit bad to speak at the dinner table."

Doctor Zhou didn't care much: "We are used to seeing abscesses in the daytime, so what's the taboo?"

Zhang Zhongjing had no choice but to say: "The palace asked us to prepare some anti-epidemic medicines to put in the latrines and hand them over to Lu Bu and General Huang Wan. They said that there are many mosquitoes in summer, and they are afraid that the public toilets in Luoyang City will spread diseases."

Sun Quan's movement of biting the zongzi froze for a moment, and suddenly he felt that it was not easy for a doctor to discuss such a topic at the dinner table.

Old Sun interjected, not wanting to eat, and interjected, asking, "Why did you hand it over to Lu Bu and General Huang Wan?"

Hua Tuo sneered: "I heard that they lost the competition, and now they are renovating public toilets all over the city."

Sun Quan and Lao Sun looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in their eyes: Didn't Yuan Shu say that Lv Bu was tyrannical and doomed the people of Luoyang like Dong Zhuo?

"One more thing." After the crowd dispersed, Zhang Zhongjing left Hua Tuo behind, with some hesitation in his eyes: "Today, the commoner guard brought His Majesty's edict to ask you about the formula of Mafeisan."

Hua Tuo's face was full of astonishment: "Your Majesty knows about Mafeisan?"

"Your Mabosan has amazing efficacy. If you use a lot of it, you won't wake up even if you poke it with a needle. Your Majesty has heard that such a powerful thing is possible."

"But what does Your Majesty ask this for?"

Zhang Zhongjing shook his head. The doctor's secret medicine has always been passed on only to his descendants and apprentices. He frowned and said, "Your Majesty's intention should be to ask you to offer the prescription."

Hua Tuo was not embarrassed, and said directly: "Then I will write it down and hand it over to the civilian guard."

Zhang Zhongjing breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you were unwilling, and I was thinking about how to persuade you."

Hua Tuo said: "There's no reason why I don't want to. I'll be happy if my prescription can be spread to the world like the Three Character Classic."

Thus, Liu Xie finally obtained the legendary formula Mafeisan as he wished.While feeling agitated, he discovered a key problem... He couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, Hua Tuo made it clear that the most important blind prescriptions for Mafeisan to make people lose consciousness are datura flowers and aconitum.However, this mandala flower was introduced to the Central Plains via Persia, and it is very rare.Liu Xie thought to himself, if this prescription is used properly, there will be great potential.The author has something to say: I am on the second update!Mafeisan can be improved into Mongolian sweat medicine, how do you think it should be used?

Paper is precious.Liu Xie concentrates manpower on making paper and printing books. With large-scale production, the cost will be reduced by at least a quarter. Printing is more efficient than copying and clearer than rubbing, which is very competitive.Dumping is completely possible, but the government does not compete with the people for profit, and still wants to promote the private economy. Liu Xie has very low requirements for the Luoyang printing factory, and it is enough to achieve a balance of profit and loss.These three-character scriptures are sold to rich people in other states and counties. If the rich people have never seen it before, they can make a lot of money when they meet people who are stupid and have a lot of money. That's why Xizhi met several book sellers on the way back to Luoyang. of.

The Han Dynasty generally used bamboo slips to write, the longest being two feet.The characters on the slips are written in ink, and some slips are written in lacquer.Tao Zongyi's "Stop Farming Records" said: "There was no ink in ancient times, and bamboos were painted with lacquer to write." "The Biography of Du Lin in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records: Before Xizhou, he obtained ten volumes of lacquer books and ancient texts.From these records, it can be imagined that in ancient times, lacquer was used first, then ink, and sometimes lacquer and ink were used together, so mistakes can be cut off. "Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, the pen is the pen, and the cutting is the cutting." He cut the bamboo slips with a knife. Cutting means changing, and the pen means adding. .It looks like this, do you feel that writing is very hard, physical work?

"Customs" records that on May [-]th in the Han Dynasty, colorful silk threads such as blue, red, yellow, white, and black were used to synthesize fine ropes and tied them to the arms.It is said that using it can drive away plague, eliminate evil, and stop evil spirits.It's fun to see this record.

I changed the setting of the appearance time of the protagonist of the Dragon Boat Festival, Zongzi.In fact, although it appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not until the Jin Dynasty that zongzi became a festival food for the Dragon Boat Festival. "Fengtuji": "May [-]th is the same as the summer solstice....First of all, on the first day of the second festival, glutinous rice is wrapped with wild rice leaves, mixed with millet, and cooked with thick gray juice." It is ordinary. millet and sticky rice dumplings.

Maybe some little angels don't understand why the princes who crusaded against Dong Zhuo included the governor, the governor of the state, the prefect, and Bao Xin, the chancellor of Jibei.The size of the official position should be like this, the state shepherd is the largest, the governor is next, and the prefect is the smallest.In the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yan suggested "abolishing the history and establishing the animal husbandry", abolishing the governor above the county prefect, and setting up the state animal husbandry.Zhou Mu is a justifiable official of the frontier, who manages both the army and the people, and has officials, so he is naturally the direct superior of the county guard and the prime minister.Some powerful governors, even though they don't have the name of state shepherds, already have the status of state shepherds.Anyway, on the current timeline, there are only 3 state shepherds at this time. Beginning in 188, that is, what happened the year before Liu Xie ascended the throne, Emperor Ling took Liu Yan as the shepherd of Yizhou, his servant Huang Wan as the shepherd of Yuzhou, and Zongzheng Donghai Liu Yu as the shepherd of Youzhou.In this article, Huang Wan's official position has changed.
