"So, the news about the compound bow has been reported back to Chang'an City?"
Chu Zhen asked Li Shimin.
"You join the army in the record room. My father soon learned about the compound bow and tea."
Li Shimin first talked about what happened after returning to Chang'an. Xue Rengao and Yin Shishi briefly mentioned that Yin Shishi's daughter became a concubine in the Prince of Qin's palace.
"Yin Concubine?"
Chu Zhen looked strange and asked, "How many wives and concubines do you have now?"
Li Qingzhao and Lin Daiyu both looked over.
"Just one wife and one concubine."
Li Shimin was a little embarrassed because he had noticed that Mr. Chu was older than him, but he still didn't have any concubines, let alone a real wife.
Chu Zhen asked again: "I heard that Yang Guang's daughter..."
There were three Yang concubines in the harem of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, one of whom was Yang Guang's daughter.
"While still in the palace, Mr. Chu mentioned her... because he wanted to see her beauty?"
Li Shimin asked hesitantly, seeing Fangrong was a euphemism for asking Mr. Chu if he wanted the former Sui princess.
If Chu Zhen wanted it, he would have to consider how to get the former Sui princess from his father. Judging from his father's intention, he probably wanted to include all the former Sui princess's concubines into the harem.
Li Qingzhao had a subtle expression and stared at Chu Zhen to see how he would answer.
The same is true for Lin Daiyu.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang looked over. If Chu Zhen said he wanted to marry the princess, he wouldn't mind being the father-in-law.
"No, it's too early for me to get married. I just asked."
Seeing their surprised expressions, Chu Zhen added: "We generally don't get married until we are in our twenties, seventy or eight, and there are quite a few who get married in their thirties, and there are also many who never get married."
"If you don't get married for the rest of your life... wouldn't you become a widower?"
"If you don't get married, how can you have a family? If you don't have a family, how can you have a career?"
"Uncle Chu doesn't want to get married?"
Several people expressed their opinions or asked questions one after another. Chu Zhen quickly stopped talking and asked Li Shimin about the compound bow and tea leaves.
“I came home and saw that my wife was pregnant!”
Li Shimin smiled.
Chu Zhen was about to say congratulations when he suddenly remembered something and asked him quickly: "Are you living in Chengqian Hall now?!"
"Chengqian Palace...!"
Li Qingzhao reacted and looked at Lin Daiyu.
Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head to drink tea and did not dare to say anything.
"I live in Chengqian Hall, what's wrong?"
Li Shimin looked at a few people suspiciously.
"No, it's okay. Cheng Qian...dian is doing well. Congratulations to Erlang on becoming a father!" Chu Zhen said vaguely.
This cannot be said.
Li Shimin was very happy to become a father, so to mention his eldest son's future affairs at this time would simply ruin the scenery.
"When your child is born, I will prepare some gifts."
Chu Zhen smiled again.
"Thank you Mr. Chu!"
Li Shimin stood up and thanked him, then sat down and said with a smile: "After I saw that my wife was pregnant, I took out the barefoot medical book and asked the midwife to learn it..."
He briefly mentioned the matter of corn, focusing on the matter of being summoned to the palace by his father for questioning.
At that time, Prince Li Jiancheng, ministers Pei Ji, Li Gang, Xiao Yu and others were also there.
Hearing him mention it, Chu Zhen asked about Xiao Yu, because he was the half-brother of Yang Guang's wife, Queen Xiao.
"My uncle is the governor of Hechi County. My father asked my brother to bring a letter before, but my brother did not go to Hechi County, so I have to bring another letter.
When I returned to Chang'an, my uncle's family also came to Chang'an with me. My uncle was awarded the title of Guanglu Doctor by my father, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, and the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. "
The Ministry of Civil Affairs is the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was to avoid Li Shimin's taboo that the Ministry of Household Affairs was changed.
But Li Shimin did not change it when he was emperor.
Li Yuan easily recruited another minister, which confirmed Li Shimin's previous words. When a large family raises an army, they can often gain greater advantages.
"And after that?"
Chu Zhen continued to ask.
"My father's face seemed displeased. He first asked me where Xue Ju's magical bow was? I took it out..."
Li Shimin described what happened at that time in detail.
Li Yuan tried out the power of the compound bow and was greatly surprised. He looked at it carefully and asked where the craftsman who made the bow was.
Li Shimin was prepared and took out another three ounces of tea leaves.
He ordered someone to bring the tea set, made tea himself and presented it to his father for tasting.
Li Yuan was overjoyed.
After taking a sip, Pei Ji felt equally relaxed and jokingly said that the tea should be presented to Li Yuan as a trophy, rather than being collected by Li Shimin himself.
Li Shimin did not answer his words at that time, and took out four books excerpted from the Barefoot Medical Book and compiled into a volume.
A book called Barefoot A Thousand Gold Prescriptions, a book called Barefoot Herbal Medicine, a book on treating barefoot ulcers, and a midwife's delivery manual.
The first three books have antique names, and the latter one is based on the Barefoot Doctor's Manual.
Li Shimin said: "After taking all these out, I just named Mr. Chu!"
"understood."
Chu Zhen answered his words, "I am currently a craftsman in Tianshui County, helping Xue Ju make the divine bow.
At the same time, he is also a traveling miracle doctor. He has compiled medical books, has also been to America, brought out corn seeds for you, and roasted new tea leaves with a new method. Right? "
Everyone laughed, and Lin Daiyu even laughed and said: "There is nothing in the world that Uncle Chu can't do."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "With so many names, I might as well just call him the true king."
Li Shimin looked embarrassed, stood up and apologized to Chu Zhen.
"It's just a joke, I don't mind."
Chu Zhen smiled.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Shimin: "Did you tell your father that corn can feed tens of millions more people?"
"I have never dared to boast about Haikou."
"Then who did the compiler of medical books write about?"
"Mr. Chu compiled it, Changsun Wuji and I excerpted it and re-edited it. On the order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, we allowed the people to copy it and spread it to various places."
Li Shimin paused, "Because the matter of midwifery was taboo to be mentioned, the Qin Palace disseminated the "Midwife's Manual for Midwives."
After hearing this, Chu Zhen could only sigh once again that it was too difficult to have children in ancient times.
Not only the medical treatment was poor, but Wen Po, who was responsible for delivering the babies, was classified as one of the three nuns and six women.
"This is a great achievement, better than building any pagoda."
Chu Zhen said seriously.
Li Qingzhao and Lin Daiyu's faces were a little red. They were still ashamed to hear about having children from young men. They fell into the category of "don't listen to what is inappropriate."
But Chu Zhen didn't shy away from these things, and it was hard for them to say much.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked over and said, "There are many names of herbal medicines in this medical book. Even the people in the Imperial Medical Office cannot recognize them. Is there any way for Chu Zhenqian to find out?"
"That's what I was about to say," Li Shimin also said.
"Did you bring it over?"
After Chu Zhen asked, he got the names of the herbal medicines they extracted from the three people. Li Qingzhao had only been in Bianjing for two days, so he hadn't finished sorting them out yet.
"Can this computer be checked?" Zhu Yuanzhang stood aside and looked at the computer screen.
"should be no problem."
Chu Zhen picked up his phone, took pictures of the names of herbal medicines written neatly on three pieces of paper, sent them to his computer, recognized them in the chat software, and then pasted them into the search engine.
Most of them can be found by searching, but for a few that cannot be found, pictures are used instead, and they can print them out and ask them to follow the pictures to find the herbs.
Also write down where the herbs grow.
Li Shimin watched his series of operations and could only sigh that this computer is really amazing.
Li Qingzhao confirmed one thing. Chu Langjun previously praised her as being better than a computer, which was a great compliment to her.
How can she compare to this computer?
She saw that Chu Langjun tapped and swiped his fingers a few times, and a lot of text appeared, and when he clicked on it, many pictures appeared.
It's dazzling to see.
Suddenly some pictures of beauties wearing very little clothes would pop up, making her face blush. She glanced at Chu Langjun, but saw that his expression was calm and unaffected by the pictures of beauties.
Fortunately, Sister Lin didn't come over to see.
