"Well, that's a good point." Lao Zhu is also old. As an old man, of course he can empathize with the old man: "What do you think?"
The ministers present were all very young, so naturally they had no objections.
"It's done, I've approved it. From now on, all the people who are over sixty-five years old will receive the same punishment as their descendants. The Ministry of Punishment can draft it."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Lao Zhu directly agreed to the matter.
Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, at least Xue Xiang would not be beaten to death. His son's ability to withstand beatings was better than his, right?
As for whether there will be a different way to die. Then it has nothing to do with yourself.
He can only try his best to keep a good official for the people, but in the end it is Lao Zhu who has the final say with the power of life and death.
After going to court, he said something to Lao Han and went home.
"Madam, weigh twenty kilograms of rice."
Last time, Mr. Liu gave himself a basket of eggs.
I still don’t know how you are living with your belt tightened recently. I am going to see Xiao Jiuxian today, so you can stop by and see him.
After returning the egg money to him, Gu Chen felt that he was really a good official.
Even if he lived during the Jiajing period, he would probably only be greedy for the money of the rich and would not have the heart to extend his evil hands to the common people.
"It's done." Su Wanying asked someone to do it, and put some copper coins in the rice: "I heard that the royal family is hiring workers to make briquettes."
"Six dollars a month. If the old man lives in poverty, maybe his son can try it. If he succeeds, he can improve his family's conditions."
This is a good idea. Gu Chen nodded, kissed his wife's forehead and left.
"Wait a minute." Su Wanying reached out to hold him, her tone was soft and gentle: "When we come back for dinner tonight, Mr. Chen has brought us Mianning ham."
"It's no worse than Jinhua's. It's delicious and refreshing when paired with dried bamboo shoots and tofu to make soup."
Of course, it was not cooked by her, but by the cook.
"Sure." Gu Chen smiled: "Brother Chen, too, brings all kinds of food every year. Jinling's delicacies can't be sent that far."
"In that case, just send more cloth and dried fruits you pickled yourself. Always let him know that he is thinking about us and we are also thinking about him."
If you can only get in but not get out, that is called taking bribes; if you have comings and goings, that is called favors.
The knowledge here can fill up all the white paper in the science examination room.
"OK."
Gu Chen took the microscope and left. As soon as he entered Mr. Liu's house, he smelled the smell of medicine. He asked with some confusion.
"Isn't the disease healed? Why is there still a smell of medicine?"
Although the yard is a bit shabby, it is kept neat and tidy.
The young wife who was boiling medicine saw him and quickly went into the house to call someone, while she took her daughter and went back to the house to stay.
"Master Gu, why are you here?"
The old man walked out on crutches and greeted him with a smile.
"Please come in quickly. It's Dr. Xiao who said that my body needs to be recuperated, so I need to take some medicine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gu."
Gu Chen nodded. This is true. The old man is so old and has a serious illness. He must take good care of himself.
"Oh, I won't go in. This is rice for you, uncle. Don't refuse. It's my wife's wish. You rest while I go find Dr. Xiao."
"By the way, the imperial court is hiring workers. I heard they pay six cents a month. Old man, if your son is free, you can go and have a look."
After saying that, he waved his hands repeatedly, blocked the old man's words in his throat, went straight out of the door, and went to the inn next door to find Lao Xiao.
Looking at his back, the old man's son said: "This old man is quite nice. Not only does he give him money, but he also introduces him to jobs."
"My family is so poor that even our relatives want to go around our house for fear of being borrowed by us, but this man went out of his way to see dad."
And it's not just for show, this is really rare.
Gu Chen didn't know what they were thinking, so he just went up and knocked on Xiao Jiuxian's door.
"Mr. Xiao, I have brought you something."
Hearing his voice, Xiao Jiuxian was a little happy and quickly opened the door to let him in.
"The good stuff last time cured dysentery, what can the good stuff this time cure?"
This Master Gu is really a treasure. What kind of person should he be?
He might as well be a doctor, he thinks Mr. Gu is very talented.
But he also knew that it was impossible. The status of an official was not comparable to that of a doctor.
"I'll open your eyes." Gu Chen arranged the simple microscope in his arms, then got a piece of vegetables: "Here, take a look."
Xiao Jiuxian walked over, followed the guidance, looked down through the eyepiece with only one eye open, and saw that the lines of the leaves were clearly visible.
Leaf textures that are invisible to the naked eye can be seen with this device.
"Amazing, really amazing."
Xiao Jiuxian said repeatedly, although many people also have magnifying glasses.
But it was for reading, and he had never seen a mirror that could magnify so much.
"Master Gu, is this a magical mirror?"
Although he didn't know what this thing had to do with medical skills.
Gu Chen smiled and shook his head: "This is nothing. If we can do it better, you can see small things that can move."
"It's just that my time is limited, so I can only get this for you to play with first."
He explained clearly the principles of the microscope and how to make it.
Then he brought some vegetables that were left for two days and showed him some larger bacteria.
It's just that it's too small, only about the size of a pinpoint.
"Master Gu, what are these black dots?"
While he felt it was magical, Xiao Jiuxian didn't forget to ask why.
Gu Chen said softly: "These are the bacteria that can make people sick. If the multiple is extremely large, we can observe what each bacteria looks like."
"I heard that there is a kind of bacteria called Penicillium, which is much better than allicin, but I have tried many times and can't get it out."
"How about I tell you the principle and you can think about it yourself?"
Yes, he still wants to get penicillin. He is afraid that allicin cannot save Zhu Biao. If he can get penicillin, he will have greater hope.
Zhu Biao = life-saving talisman.
Without waiting for Xiao Jiuxian to refuse, he took his Four Treasures of the Study and started talking and writing.
Gu Chen started from cultivating Penicillium and continued to purify it.
If you want to purify it at this time, the only thing you can use is column chromatography, and the tools required for this method are also very simple.
Canola oil, distilled water, soda water, toner.
It didn't matter if he didn't have soda water. There was a lot of this kind of baking soda underground in the mine. He couldn't access it himself, but Chen Baochuan could.
As for the local officials, it's convenient. As long as you don't steal salt, it's not a crime.
Gu Chen spoke seriously, and Xiao Jiuxian listened carefully. Professionals are professionals, and their understanding is still very good.
He only needs to tell it once, and people will understand it and even draw inferences.
No wonder he is called the Miracle Doctor at just over forty years old.
After Gu Chen got rid of this job, he felt a lot more relaxed instantly.
"Mr. Xiao, I believe you will succeed."
He no longer has to continue doing this kind of experiment. He fails every time and fails every time. He is a human being and not a weakling.
If he fails frequently, he will also become irritable, okay?
"Thank you so much, Mr. Gu." Xiao Jiuxian said seriously: "Well, Mr. Gu, please take care of this mirror that can magnify more."
After hearing so much, he really couldn't wait to see what the moving little creatures, no, bacteria, looked like.
Gu Chen waved his hand and told him not to be polite, but he heard his stomach growling, and when he looked outside, it was actually dark now.
He didn't even have lunch.
Xiao Jiuxian ate the cheapest food in the inn. He looked unappetizing and had no meat, so Gu Chen declined his invitation.
He wants to eat meat. If he doesn't eat meat for a meal, he will feel that life is meaningless.
The night is like drunkenness, and the streets are brightly lit. Although there is a curfew system in the Ming Dynasty, you cannot go out from 7 pm to 5 am.
But this does not include Jinling City, which has the highest security and safety factor.
"You can pick lotuses in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are fields of lotus leaves~"
Gu Chen passed by an ordinary restaurant, where the aroma of vegetables and the sweet singing voice of a woman wafted out.
It attracts the greed in Gu Chen's stomach, and also attracts the man's desire to see the beauty.
He couldn't help but pause and confidently found an excuse to go in.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look and see if we can catch someone with such bad behavior."
After working so hard for so long, it makes sense to have a meal and listen to some music, right?
Gu An: "...Master, you promised my wife to go back for dinner today, have you forgotten?"
Even if you are loyal to your duties, there is no need to forget your own wife, right?
"Yes, then check back tomorrow."
Women during pregnancy are very stingy. It is better not to break an appointment if there is nothing important. Family stability and happiness are the most important thing.
Otherwise, you will be accused of not knowing how to run a family, and you will be killed unjustly.
