"Don't underestimate this book."

Chu Zhen said: "It is a summary of traditional Chinese medicine over the past thousands of years by modern medical personnel, and combined with the scientific understanding of modern medicine, this book was compiled. The content of the book is simple and straightforward, and it claims that as long as you can read, you will be able to Can become a doctor!

At the time, it was in almost every household, with a circulation of over 10 million...that is, 10 million copies printed. "

Even if they don’t understand it in front of them, the ten million copies in the back are enough to shock them!

"Mr. Chu, do you have this book on your bookshelf? Or can it be printed?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's throat moved, and he looked very expectant.

The other three people also looked over.

"This book was written fifty years ago. It is no longer easy to buy and I don't have it on my bookshelf."

Several people were disappointed.

"But I can print it downstairs."

Chu Zhen smiled.

Lin Daiyu, who was sitting on the sofa on the left, laughed and said in a low voice: "Uncle Chu, he just loves to lie and be naughty."

Li Qingzhao covered his mouth and smiled, then curiously asked Chu Zhen: "Chu Langjun can print everything downstairs?"

"Because it exists!"

Chu Zhen pointed to the computer, "Using this computer, you can see people thousands of miles away, and you can also retrieve massive articles. As long as you find the corresponding book, you can print it out quickly."

"This is a fairy treasure!" Zhu Yuanzhang was full of emotion and shock. He had no idea what he had to do to see people thousands of miles away.

"Mr. Chu, how much money does it cost to buy this computer?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.

"It's not expensive, only a few thousand coins, but you can't use it."

Chu Zhen explained simply: "Computers are driven by current, similar to thunder in the sky, and they need thousands of units connected together, just like a beacon to transmit messages."

Driven by thunder from heaven!

Beacon tower!

Several ancient time travelers were shocked and vaguely understood how some computers worked.

"lets change a topic."

Chu Zhen smiled and said: "Let me tell you about this "Barefoot Doctor's Manual"."

"I'll pull the curtains!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to move.

This is not the Ming Dynasty palace, and there are no maids or eunuchs for him to drive around. If he wants to hear "Barefoot Doctor" quickly, he has no choice but to pull the curtains himself.

The other three people also stood up and closed the curtains everywhere.

Chu Zhen turned on the projector. He didn't say much about the previous content, except that he was a great man.

Next, let’s introduce the table of contents.

"1, 2.3, and 4 are foreign numbers, which correspond to one, two, three, and four. I will write them down later and print them for you."

"These points are for alignment and typesetting."

"Punctuation marks are used for sentence reading, commas, periods, brackets..."

"You don't need to read the chemical weapons part. I've deleted it all... Do you want to keep it? Okay, I'll keep it for you, but don't delve into it, you won't understand."

"These anti-venom agents, nitrous acid, potassium permanganate, glucose solution, and the dosage in milligrams are all terms used in modern medicine. Don't study them, let alone think about developing them. There was no way to make them in ancient times!"

Chu Zhen knew that there were local methods for refining allicin and penicillin. Allicin was simpler, but penicillin was difficult.

Moreover, when productivity is lagging, garlic cannot save a few people. Promoting barefoot doctors will benefit the people.

However, after thinking about it, Chu Zhen still found an article about how to refine allicin with local methods and added it to the back of the book. Let them try it to see if it can be made.

After drinking two cups of tea, Chu Zhen gave them a rough explanation, not about the content, but how to understand it.

"Any question?"

Chu Zhen stopped, took another sip of tea, and looked at the four students.

The reaction of the four people was the same as the math teacher in the classroom when he asked the students who else didn't understand.

A long while.

Li Shimin stood up, bowed his hands and made a big salute: "Mr. Chu, this book is truly a magic book for treating diseases and saving lives!"

It is really difficult to describe in words the shock in his heart.

A 700-page medical book with pictures and texts, recording hundreds of common and rare diseases and giving treatments.

There is no obscure and difficult content such as Yin Yang and Five Elements in the book. It only relies on listening, hearing, asking, and directly observing the patient's symptoms and making a diagnosis.

No wonder Mr. Chu said that as long as he is literate, anyone can become a doctor with this book!

The book even contains information about delivering babies!

What a divine book?

"This book..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was equally shocked, his eyes shone brightly, and he murmured: "I want to send this book to every town and county, so that anyone who can read and write can become a doctor! This book alone can save millions of people! Mr. Chu It has great merit!"

"No, no need to flatter me."

Chu Zhen quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is not a book written by me, and it has little merit. Besides, you-"

Chu Zhen stopped talking and said: "Except for Emperor Hongwu, it is difficult for you to spread this book. There are too many incomprehensible contents in it. If it is spread out randomly, trouble will happen."

"This is natural, I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and glanced at Li Shimin intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Erlang is not the emperor yet.

If he just took out the entire book, it would definitely lead to Li Yuan's inquiry, and it's hard to say what the consequences would be.

Maybe Li Yuan was so happy that he named Li Shimin the prince.

Maybe Li Yuan would be shocked and doubtful, even more doubting whether his second son had received guidance from the gods. He took out the map and illuminated the Yinshi Master with "divine light".

When an emperor becomes suspicious, it is often the beginning of murderous intent.

"...I will treat this book with caution!"

Li Shimin thought for a while and then said in a deep voice: "I can ask Xuanling and Ruhui to help me copy the prescriptions in the book, split the book into several volumes, and then submit it to my father."

"King Qin's method is good." Li Qingzhao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile. She was just thinking about how to spread this book.

Lin Daiyu also agreed with this approach.

Both of them were just civilian girls with limited strength and could only rely on their fathers. Not only were their fathers inferior to Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, but they were even inferior to Qin King Li Shimin.

There was a method, but Li Shimin couldn't help but think about one more possibility:

If he were the emperor...

"Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui?"

Chu Zhen glanced at him, Li Shimin came to his senses, nodded and said yes.

But what Chu Zhen was thinking about was that Li Shimin trusted his subordinates but did not trust Li Yuan. This shows that the father and son have begun to doubt each other.

Is it because of the flashlight?

Maybe earlier. After all, Li Yuan has two legitimate sons, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, as well as many other sons such as Li Zhiyun. It is difficult to care about each of his sons.

In addition, Li Yuan ascended the throne as Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and the family relationship became more divided between monarch and minister.

"I'm going to do some printing first."

Chu Zhen said to the four people and went downstairs to see how much paper was left in the printer.

There are four books in total, each with 360 pages and double-sided printing. It takes about half an hour to print one book.

Originally, he wanted to delete some contents about nuclear radiation, chemical weapons, and modern medicine, but Li Shimin and others felt that there was no need to delete it because it might be useful in the future.

"It takes about half an hour to read one book."

Chu Zhen brought up an electronic scale and said to the four of them.

"How long is half an hour?" Li Shimin asked.

"An hour is two hours."

"So it takes two seconds to print a book? It's so fast!"

"That's what a laser printer does."

Chu Zhen said casually and came to the table with an electronic scale, "Let me weigh the one or two I have here for you to avoid discrepancies with the book."

The traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions in "The Barefoot Doctor" also use two qian, but the weights and measures used by Tang, Song and Mingshun are different. If Chu Zhen doesn't explain them in a unified way, people will die if they take medicine randomly.

This shows how important it was for Qin Shihuang to unify weights, measures and writing.

Although weights and measures were changed by subsequent dynasties.

"Mr. Chu is thoughtful!" Li Shimin praised again.

"Although I know you are flattering me, I like it!"

Chu Zhen smiled, picked up some cereals sent by Lin Daiyu, and asked her: "Miss Lin, did I use the cereals you gave me to give to them?"

After all, it was a New Year's gift from Sister Lin. It would only be polite to pass it on to others before asking her.

"Uncle Chu, feel free to use it."

Lin Daiyu smiled.

Chu Zhen grabbed a handful of corn and added it to the scale little by little.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shimin, and Li Qingzhao all gathered around and looked at the scale curiously.

"This is our one tael. One tael is ten cents, and ten taels is one catty, not sixteen taels per catty. Remember."

Chu Zhen wrapped the corn in a piece of paper and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang first.

"What kind of grain is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked more, and he saw that the load contained new year's goods, which were crops similar to rice and wheat.

Chu Zhen glanced at Lin Daiyu in the distance and saw that she was not interested in answering Emperor Hongwu's words, so he smiled and said:

"This is the corn you brought back from overseas after you opened the sea in Longqing of the Ming Dynasty and earned 300 million taels of silver. Later generations became a crop comparable to rice and wheat!"

"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked shocked and lost his voice: "How much silver? Three hundred million?!"

"Three hundred million means thirty million taels!"

Chu Zhen emphasized.

Let alone Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shimin was shocked by this number.

Three hundred million taels of silver!

This military expenditure is enough for him to fight from Chang'an to Daqin, west of the Turks!

It is natural and right for the King of Qin to attack Da Qin.
