[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

After talking about General Zuo's daytime arrangements for the "war of scolding", Lin Jiang took a sip of the tea in hand, and continued: "It's not over yet, it is said that at night, General Zuo's thinking becomes more narrow-minded. "

"They dug a lot of large stoves outside Tongcheng, and boiled honey and sugar water underneath." It's hard for General Zuo to think, he simply regarded the soldiers of Beirong as a group of bears.

His pinching of the lifeline is indeed accurate: in fact, if the fire is roasted and the fragrance is fragrant, the Beirong army is actually not so greedy.They are nomads, and they are used to living on barbecue every day.

What Beirong lacked were the tobacco, wine, sugar and tea produced only in this affluent land of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and all kinds of delicate by-products of light industry.

The sergeants of the Great Zhou Dynasty boiled sugar water under the city tower. The sweet smell really drove the Beirong people who were gradually running out of armaments and their food stocks were bottoming out.

As a result, there were consequences such as the top of the city wall, and the Beirong soldiers began to shoot arrows and throw stones down the city angrily.

Just as Dazhou’s tunnel was dug, the soldiers hid in the tunnel to light a fire, and continued to fan out the sweet smell of sugar to seduce the soldiers of Beirong.

It's just that after doing this for two days, General Zuo made the calculations and felt quite pained: After all, sugar was quite expensive in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and in this dynasty, sugar water was still regarded as a tonic.

So General Zuo, after giving the sugar water that day to the soldiers as a rare extra meal supplement, changed a way to save money: start reporting the names of the dishes.

Dazhou has a vast territory and many dishes, which is by no means comparable to Beirong.

General Zuo ordered someone to write the recipes, selected soldiers with clear voices and fluent Beirong dialect, and reported the names of the dishes to Tongcheng every day, and sometimes briefly described one or two.

Not to mention the soldiers of Bei Rong, even the soldiers of Da Zhou, who had a good meal, sometimes drool when they heard it, and wanted to go back to have a bite of home-cooked food.

"It can be said that the Northwest has now entered a spiritual war."

Lin Jiang said it vividly, and sure enough Lin Ruhai and others laughed, Zhou Liheng said: "This General Zuo was not very popular when he was the first emperor. Even his father said that he had a violent temper and often argued with others-this If Duke Li was not the leader, His Majesty would not dare to use him. He has received favors from the Duke of Li, and he respects the Liu family very much."

In front of Zhou Liheng, Lin Jiang didn't have the nerve to say: ah, if Prince Shao himself commented on people with bad tempers, he must have really bad tempers.

However, such a temperament is just right for dealing with Beirong.

After finishing the business, Lin Jiang and Daiyu went back, leaving Lin Ruhai to continue to teach Zhou Liheng some household affairs, the emperor had already placed Zhou Liheng in the household department, and asked him to learn more about this war.

Although Lin Ruhai has been away from Yanzheng for several years, he is still familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Accounts.

Zhou Liheng also heard from the current Minister of the Ministry of Households that his uncle Wei Qian had expressed emotion that he and Lin Ruhai should have a quarrel: Wei Qian is more interested in the Ministry of Rites, studying various sacrificial arrangements and canonizing old rituals. Can study for a day.

Lin Ruhai is obviously better at allocating accounts with the Ministry of Accounts, coordinating money and money for disaster relief and helping the people.

But this can only be said in private among relatives.Which minister goes to which department is up to the emperor to decide, and Sacred Heart makes its own arrangements.

However, not long after, Lin Ruhai did transfer the department, but he was not transferred back to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but unexpectedly took over as Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

This matter has to start with Lin Changzhou's return to Beijing.

In the blink of an eye, at the end of June, there was another good news on the battlefield from North Korea, but this good news did not come from the northwest but from overseas——Franji finally couldn't bear it anymore, and no longer dared to float on the sea as a robber to collect protection money , but retreated back to his country's territory, waved the white flag, and sent a peace letter to Da Zhou.

The peace letter promises that from now on, ships equipped with firearms in the Franji Kingdom will no longer be allowed to leave the waters around their country at will, and only merchant ships can enter and exit.

It also revealed the meaning of bowing to the Great Zhou from then on: If you can't rob, then admit defeat and join as a vassal state!It can be said to be a model of joining if you can't beat it.

The current General Staff of the Fujian Navy, Tan Fu, the son-in-law of Princess Xunyang, ordered people to rush to send the peace letter of Frangi Kingdom to the emperor's desk.At the same time, there is also a detailed leaflet about this overseas war, and all the soldiers who have contributed are listed on it.

Among them, the names of Lin Changzhou and Gao Qiyu appeared most often.

Not only did he have a list of soldiers from his own country, General Qin also specially ordered a booklet, stating that the sea battle received a lot of naval support from the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom. deal with.

When the good news arrived in the capital, the emperor was also in a good mood: Although the war at sea did not involve much national power of the Zhou Dynasty, it was still on the emperor's mind, and it would be best if it was resolved.

As for the state affairs written in the invitation letter, the emperor did not immediately agree to it, and had to observe and consider it further.

The emperor doesn't really want this kind of vassal state that surrenders when it is weak, and is ready to bite the suzerain state at any time.

So the emperor only added a few approvals to the peace petition, and then sent it back, ordering Qin Fu, the General Staff of Fujian, Gao Qiyu, the son of Marquis of Mingyang, and Lin Changzhou, the envoy of Youyi, to accept the surrender of the Frangi Kingdom on behalf of Da Zhou.

That's right, after this round of military exploits, the emperor justifiably gave his nephew the position of heir.

Not only that, but also raised the title of Uncle Mingyang to a higher level.

Speaking of which, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was really a wise and far-reaching monarch.The rules he formulated for degrading and attacking nobles are quite different from those of the previous dynasties.The rapid demotion of the title made the aristocratic family aware of their vigilance, and they could not sit back and enjoy the blessings of their ancestors forever.

But at the same time, the conditions for conferring and promoting knights in the Great Zhou Dynasty are far less stringent than those of the previous dynasty: those who have military merits can be knighted, and if there is a knighthood in the family, they can also enjoy not being downgraded to the next generation, or even promoted to the next generation. Wait—for example, the historians have a family of two princes, which was spelled out by this generation 20 years ago.

Such a system of survival of the fittest and dynamic fluctuation of titles made the generals of the Great Zhou full of enthusiasm.

If you fight hard, you will have a title, if you lie down, your descendants will become ordinary people.

But this time the emperor really praised his nephew's bravery, and because of the many things in the past, the empress dowager, the aunt's full support, the emperor just understands it and is inconvenient to say it.This time, taking advantage of Gao Qiyu's military achievements, he gave enough benefits at once, not only giving Gao Qiyu the position of heir, but also directly elevating the Mingyang uncle's mansion to the Mingyang marquis' mansion.

After all, in the past, the title was granted for no reason, and others would argue that it was the princess's nepotism, but now that Gao Qiyu's achievements are here, the emperor's title is justified, and the Mingyang Marquis's mansion is also blessed with splendor.

Even a person like the queen mother who can't show his emotions or anger can't help but feel double happiness these days, and his cheeks are full of joy.

Princess Qi Yang even came here to express her gratitude to the emperor. The emperor's brother's cry was sweeter than before, which aroused goosebumps on the emperor's skin.

On the contrary, Gao Qiyu, who returned to Beijing to receive grace later, had some opinions on his new title, and he was not happy when others called him the son of the world.

It is said that there are quite a few mansions of princes and counts in Beijing, and there are also many princes, but at his position, he often goes in and out of the palace, and there are not many eunuchs and maids in the court who can call him a prince.

The default eldest son in the palace is actually Zhou Liheng, the eldest son of Prince Shao's mansion.

Gao Qiyu was dissatisfied when others called him the son of the world: "In this way, others will confuse us."

Princess Qi Yang hit her son: "You two are very different just by looking at your appearance. Don't worry, no one will confuse you."

Gao Qiyu was choked to death by his mother's complaints, but he was even more unwilling to be called the son of the world.

So I just let people call myself Xiaohou Ye.

He is the only precious grandson of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager followed him, so starting from Ci'an Palace, everyone called him "Little Marquis", and naturally it quickly became popular in the capital.

Even the emperor specially called his nephew after hearing about it: "I heard that you have promoted yourself? The prince is not willing to be the prince, so you are directly the Marquis?"

Gao Qiyu said with a smile: "Uncle, it's the young master, Young Master." He dared to laugh at the emperor's uncle, so he said, "Don't uncle think that this title is better than Shizi? Uncle agrees!"

The emperor laughed it off and let him go: Although he is a member of the royal family, Gao Qiyu's surname is not Zhou, so the rules can be more casual after all.

This is going to be placed in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Does the crown prince dare to call him the little emperor?Calling is going to cause big trouble.After all, there are still too many variables for the heirs such as the prince and the eldest son in the royal family.

He himself was a prince, and the emperor felt that when it comes to childhood and youth, he must be the son of a princess like Gao Qiyu, who lived a happier life than the prince.

Even happier than Zhou Liheng.

The mother is the princess of the Zhou family, and she can always keep the child's supremacy in the family.His mother can bring him glory and status without relying on the favor of his paternal line.

This is something no other woman in the world can do.

Therefore, whether it is the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion or the position of the current son of the Hou Mansion, Princess Qi Yang is indeed not very stubborn: because with her status, the title in this mansion will sooner or later be her only son, and anyone who dares to rob her will definitely be punished. A quick blow to the wind and rain.Even if he lost himself, Gao Qiyu would not be shaken at all.

Her confidence comes from her surname Zhou, not from her husband's family.

--

Of course, these appellation issues are for later.

It wasn't until July of this year that the sea affairs were completely over, that the emperor ordered Gao Qi Yulin Changzhou to return to Beijing.The Fujian General Staff will need to arrange local military power and follow-up official duties, so it is not easy to move lightly, so the emperor ordered his brother-in-law to return to Beijing to report on his duties during the Chinese New Year.

It was the first time for Lin Jiang to welcome back the system father during the non-year-old summer.Speaking of which, she had never seen him wearing summer clothes. In her mind, the image of Lin Changzhou had always been that of a middle-aged man in fur.

She has supported herself for a long time these days, and she is also very happy to see Lin Changzhou.

This morning, when he heard that Lin Changzhou had arrived in the capital, and handed over a booklet asking for an order to enter the palace, Lin Jiang went to the gate of the palace to greet him, and sent him all the way to Mingzheng Palace.

Gao Qiyu also came into the palace with Lin Changzhou, and he was very familiar with Lin Jiang when he saw Lin Jiang: "How is Lin Yuanzheng coming recently? I heard that Wei Ren went to the northwest when I got to the shore? When I return to His Majesty, I will ask for an order." Go, help fight Beirong!" It can be seen that this is a person who is addicted to the battlefield.

When they arrived at the gate of Mingzheng Palace, the emperor asked Eunuch Huamei to come out to deliver a message, saying that if he had something to say, he had to speak to Lin Changzhou alone first, and asked Gao Qiyu to go to the Queen Mother to pay his respects first, and there was no rush to meet Sheng Sheng—Princess Qiyang was already there waiting to see her son.

Gao Qiyu came out after hearing the words, and Lin Jiang left the gate of Mingzheng Palace together with him.

It's just that Gao Qiyu turned around, and Lin Jiang saw his right cheek, which he hadn't seen before, and saw a long, narrow, long and obvious knife wound on the little finger under the cheekbone. It seems that the time is not short, and it has turned brown. The scar, slightly protruding from the skin, is quite obvious.

Thinking of how Gao Qiyu was slapped by the eagle back then, hiding his paw prints and daring not to see anyone until healed, Lin Jiang couldn't help but said: "Is this wound old? Even with Yurong Ointment, it is not easy to remove all the traces, unless the wound is cut open with a sharp knife and regrown."

Unexpectedly, Gao Qiyu, who was so ashamed of claw marks back then and didn't want to look up, just smiled heartily at this time: "It's okay, I was just playing around at that time, and I felt ashamed to see others when I was beaten by an eagle. It's different this time. Evidence." He was very proud that this was a living military medal.

Lin Jiang looked at him and said in his heart: Wait until you meet your own mother, Princess Qi Yang, before you say this.

Afterwards, the two said goodbye at the fork in the road, and Gao Qiyu walked towards the Ci'an Palace in a chic manner, ready to receive the praise from his grandmother and mother.

However, as Lin Jiang expected, she was caught up by the panting little eunuch from the queen mother's palace before she reached the imperial hospital, saying that the queen mother and eldest princess were in a hurry to invite Lin Yuanzheng.

Lin Jiang turned back clearly.

When he arrived, he saw Princess Qi Yang's eyes were red, and Gao Qiyu stood aside, feeling at a loss: "Mother, don't cry, it really doesn't hurt a long time ago."

Princess Qi Yang ignored him at all, and when she saw Lin Jiang, she pulled her and asked, "Yuan Lin, the wound on his face may have gone, isn't it disfigured. Forget it, don't worry about these old scars for now. Now, please ask Lin Yuanzheng to take his pulse first and see if there are any other symptoms on his body?"

As soon as Gao Qiyu said that I was not sick, he was told by his mother to shut up: "Anyway, you didn't tell me the truth, you stayed in Fujian because of your audacity, and you refused to return to Beijing despite your family and career. Mom and Dad are waiting at home. Shut up now!"

Princess Qi Yang only looked at Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang made a gesture of invitation, signaling Gao Qiyu to sit down.

She examined it carefully for a while, and then said truthfully: "The son's body has no major symptoms, but some allergies caused by acclimatization to the environment, probably because he is not used to the south and the sea."

Hearing with her own ears that the child was fine, Princess Qi Yang began to cry again, turning her head away and refusing to face her son.

The queen mother couldn't help wiping away her tears.

She has two daughters, but only one grandson in total.Princess Xunyang has always been respectful to her son-in-law since she got married, and has no children of her own.

Gao Qiyu is the only grandson of the queen mother, and the heart of the old lady.

Even if it sounds like he has no serious symptoms, just looking at the scar left by the obvious sharp knife on his face, it looks like it was cut on the Queen Mother's heart.

Gao Qiyu saw that his grandmother and mother were both so sad, so he turned to Lin Jiang and said, "Yuan Lin, I thought I didn't need to remove the scars, but now it seems that you should cut my skin and treat it again, so that I don't have to worry about it. My grandmother and mother were sad when they saw it."

Princess Qi Yang was even more annoyed when she heard that, she stopped crying and raised her head to slap her son on the back: "Re-cut the flesh and get rid of the scars, thanks to you, you can say it! Do you want me to give you a knife, just stab me?" How could I have given birth to such a careless injustice like you. "

Lin Jiangxin said: "Princess, you don't know, Gao Qiyu is still planning to ask for orders to go to the northwest to join the war."

When she thought of this, she hurriedly lowered her head, avoiding watching the public teaching, and only read the prescription, and handed the written prescription and the recent dietary precautions to the Queen Mother, and then hurriedly escaped from Ci'an Palace, So as not to watch the anger of Princess Qi Yang after Gao Qiyu said that he was going to the northwest.

This day Lin Jiang went out of the palace with Lin Changzhou, it was obvious that the emperor stayed with Lin Changzhou for a long time and said many important things.

Lin Changzhou's usually calm face showed a rare look of tiredness.

Therefore, as soon as he got into the carriage, Lin Jiang offered a cup of tea and a specially ordered snack from the imperial dining room, and said sincerely: "It's really hard work, father."

Lin Changzhou shook his head, and after a while, he said, "In a few years, I will be a cat."

Lin Jiang couldn't help laughing: "As long as you're happy, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, the Weifu is a big place and there are few people. Let alone a cat, giraffes can be raised. You just choose the species yourself."

You can also have one skin a year. If you are tired of being a four-legged beast, you can become a two-legged beast. If you don't want to walk, you can also become a fish.

She took care of buying the best big fish tank for the system dad.

Lin Changzhou looked a little bit humanely unhappy, and he was silent for a while before pursing his lips and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go to sea in the second half of the year."

Lin Jiangqi said: "Why? There's a battle at sea, shouldn't it be time to go out?"

Lin Changzhou covered his forehead with his hands, and said softly: "The emperor of the Great Zhou intends to supervise the manufacture of more Western firearms, so make two preparations. It is best if the Bei Rong retreats in the face of difficulties. If they continue to resist, it is best to use firearms to break open the gate of Tongcheng." .Now dozens of people from the Ministry of Industry are researching new types of firearms in specialized secret centers."

After Lin Jiang heard this, he understood that Wei Ren had indeed mentioned in his family letter that Da Zhou's existing Shenhuo Battalion was still not enough to break through such an important town as Tongcheng.

After all, when Da Zhou built the city, he built the city stronger according to the firearms standards he had.

Thinking about Wei Ren's brochure, he also asked the emperor if he had developed a more powerful firearm.If Tongcheng can be broken, the army can really fight Beirong.

Lin Changzhou continued to murmur: "For this reason, the emperor intends to transfer Lin Ruhai to work as Minister of the Ministry of Industry to take charge of this important matter, and also told me not to go to sea, but to stay and watch together."

Lin Jiang understood what the emperor meant: Although Lin Changzhou hadn't shown any talents related to the Ministry of Industry, he was the only person who had personally seen the strong ships and guns of the Western military.

In the past two years, although a few Western engineers have been brought in by sea, the emperor still wants someone who has seen the finished product to watch from the side, even if it can save a little detour.

So Lin Changzhou was left in the capital, unable to continue to sail happily.

So depressed that I want to be a cat.

Lin Jiang decided to go back and lend the capital to the system's father for a few days to ease his mood.

Before the carriage arrived at the door of Lin's house, Lin Changzhou suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there is another thing that you should be happy to hear. Queen Qianxiang will visit Da Zhou again soon."

This time, Frangi Kingdom was completely subdued, and they raised the white flag, and Qianxiang Kingdom was indispensable to help Da Zhou chase and intercept them.

The rest of the small countries joined the Great Zhou, but due to their own strength, they could still support them spiritually, so they had no choice but to wave their flags in naval battles and make an atmosphere group.

It can't really help Da Zhou.

Qian Xiang Country is not a vassal state of Da Zhou, and this time he is willing to help, the Emperor naturally expressed his gratitude to the Queen on behalf of Da Zhou, and when he received Qin Fu's copy for the first time, he personally wrote a letter as the Emperor of Da Zhou, inviting Qian The king of Xiangguo will come to Dazhou again when he is free. The two countries have established diplomatic relations and become eternal friendly neighbors.

This kind of invitation is different from the previous one when the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom came to Great Zhou by herself and visited the Emperor of Great Zhou during the Chinese New Year.

Upon the invitation of Emperor Dazhou, the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom replied quickly, and will come here in the near future.

So much so that the emperor was puzzled and asked Lin Changzhou: "The monarchs of those small countries you mentioned before are too small and have nothing to do. Why is the queen of Qianxiang country much more leisurely than me, where do you want to go?" The emperor Recently, both ends of the candle are burning, and I feel that I am going to be busy.

Even if Lin Changzhou knew this, he couldn't answer it.

In fact, Qianxiang Kingdom is not so much governed by the king as it is governed by the legal system. There are not only clear laws and regulations in each province, but also detailed institutional processes.

Even if the emperor is envious, he will not be willing. If he follows this approach, it will inevitably lose part of the imperial power.

The Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom arrived in Dazhou Capital only a few days later than Lin Changzhou.

Not only did she come by herself this time, she also brought the 'male general' who was also the part-time imperial concubine.This time, the "General Concubine" contributed a lot in the sea battle. During the exchange of documents between the two countries, the emperor proposed to give the general the honorary title of Dazhou, and the queen brought him along to receive the award.

When she went to the Imperial Hospital to find Lin Jiang, she felt a little regretful about it.

"Bringing him here, I wanted to meet your husband, but I didn't expect Commander Wei to go to the northwest to fight. It can be seen that there is no fate. You and your wife will go to Qianxiang Country to see you later."

And this time, the queen of Qianxiang Kingdom brought not only the "General Concubine" who came to receive the honorary title, but also the two chief physicians of Qianxiang Kingdom Taitai Hospital.

A man and a woman, one is in internal medicine and gynecology, and the other is in traumatic surgery.

Queen Qianxiang directly handed them over to Lin Jiang: "We are going to stay here for two months. These days, I will hand them over to you." After I took this book back, they all read it, and there are some unreasonable medical principles, and they want to ask you."

The geographical location of the two countries is different, many medicinal materials are not available, and the medical practices handed down are also different.

Lin Jiang said with a smile: "If you have friends from afar, you should entertain them with all your heart. The Queen can rest assured that you will entrust the two imperial physicians to me." Communicate with them."

The books brought back by the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom that day included not only the two books on common diseases published by the bookstore, but also the textbooks compiled by the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital for the medical center set up by Lin Jiang, and even many books compiled and organized by the director of the medicine storehouse Guangou and others. The way of storage and preservation of medicinal materials.

The imperial physicians of Qianxiang Kingdom had a lot of problems, and this time they came to Dazhou with the Queen.
