Liu San refused to accept it, but Zhang Yikun next to him said "Oh" and said, "Isn't this the same book you dried that day?"
Yu Qing also thanked Zhang Yikun: "Exactly. I would also like to thank Mr. Zhang for taking the trouble to preserve this little ancestral thing. [Read the full text]"
It turned out that after Yu Qing was rescued that day, Yiying Xiruan naturally fell into the water. When the nurse was packing up his wet clothes, she found the book wrapped in oilcloth in her arms and handed it to Zhang Yikun for disposal. Master Zhang didn't care and just ordered it to be dried and returned to him. Liu San happened to be nearby. He had been interested in sorting and restoring ancient books. When he saw this, he said: "You can't dry it. Although this book is tightly wrapped and not soaked in much water, when it is exposed to the sun, the pages will stick to each other, the paper will wrinkle, and the writing will be annihilated." This book is valuable, wouldn't it be a pity to destroy it like this? You can soak up the water with fine cloth, put it in a dry box, press it with heavy objects, and surround it with highly absorbent lime. Change it every day. It takes two days to drain the water." The maid followed the instructions and saved the book.
Zhang Yikun laughed and said to Yu Qing: "You should keep this book as a souvenir. You, Liu Engong, don't need it." As he said that, he took a book from Liu San's bookshelf and handed it to Yu Qing: "Look How does this book compare to your family’s heirloom?”
Yu Qing took it and saw that the title of the book was "Collection of Folk Prescriptions". The next line was "Compiled by Liu San of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Australian Academy of Sciences in the Great Song Dynasty." After reading it quickly, he found that all the prescriptions in his handwritten manuscript were basically there. Among them, the compatibility is slightly different. She couldn't help being shocked and embarrassed. Qiqi Ai Ai was speechless and thought to herself: "This is a secret book passed down from ancestors in my family and has never been shown to outsiders. I thought it was a priceless treasure. Who knew that this benefactor was a well-known Xinglin master?" The recipe is more than ten times better than mine. I made a fool of myself by trying my best to serve celery." He was blushing and felt very disappointed.
Liu San couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yikun and said in his heart: "This guy is still so ignorant. Can't I see that his treasure is not valuable? But why bother to expose it and embarrass others?" He then comforted: "It's an ancestral thing. It is of special value to you. Please put it away carefully so as not to damage it. Besides, since you also have family medical skills and want to come or travel with me, I will give you this book as well."
Yu Qing knelt down and kowtowed: "I have no home now, and I have met such a miraculous doctor as my benefactor. Please ask me to accept me as a disciple. I am willing to follow you and serve my master all my life in order to be reborn." Grace."
Liu San saw that he was sincere and very smart and capable, so he was very interested in accepting him as his apprentice. But he thought of the recent security education lectures and various reminders issued by the Political Security Bureau. The origin of this Yu Qing is unknown. The Political Security Bureau does not have the ability to investigate his true background, so it would be very risky to keep him around rashly. I felt a little hesitant.
Yu Qing saw the embarrassment on his face and knew that he was in trouble, so he didn't dare to say anything.
Zhang Yikun came out to smooth things over: "Doctor Liu refuses to accept apprentices easily. Let's do this. We have to open a pharmacy in our big world. You can just sit here and make a living. Secondly, you can also make Liu a disciple." The doctor always teaches.”
In this way, although it is not considered as a disciple, we can still get along with each other day and night. Yu Qing was overjoyed to receive the teaching from time to time, and said that since Liu San was like his reborn parents, to show his loyalty, he was willing to change his name to Liu Qing after his master.
Liu San advised him, "You can't do this. You can't just change your ancestor's surname." But Yu Qing insisted on changing it. Finally, Zhang Yikun reconciled and suggested that he change his name to Liu Yuqing. So both of them agreed, and Liu Yuqing met with his senior brothers again. This is speechless.
Liu San ordered his apprentice to go down and pack his luggage. Zhang Yikun said: "This person's origin is unknown, so you should be more careful."
Liu San didn't take it seriously: "Even if he is a spy, it is unlikely that the appendicitis is disguised..."
"The spy Wang Qisuo who was captured by Lingao did not intentionally get stabbed in front of Emperor Zhao. This man is from Shaanxi. Not to mention the spy sent by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and his gang."
"You are too naive. Is Li Zicheng so capable?" Liu San expressed disbelief, "Besides, he is thousands of miles away from us, so what's the use of setting up a spy here? We have to contact him every time." One year, maybe.”
"You are just a careless and innocent person." Zhang Yikun shook his head, "You don't know the twists and turns in the belly of this Ming Dynasty man. He is much more powerful than us."
"No more, no more," Liu San quickly interrupted the topic, and the two of them picked up where they had left off. Liu San smiled and said to Zhang Yikun: "Runshitang is a small business, and it is not as wealthy as your boss Zhang. I ask you to take more care of our business in Guangdong in the future. Let's open a semicolon here..."
Runshitang currently does not have its own direct branch in Guangdong. Those opened in Guangdong are joint ventures through Yang Runkaitang's cooperation to sell patent medicines. It can only be regarded as a counter. Now that he wanted to conquer Guangdong, and with the ready-made stronghold of Dajiejie, Liu San immediately encouraged the big guys in the health department to support Runshitang to advance into Guangdong and open a Runshitang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. On the one hand, it can promote the efficacy of various Chinese patent medicines, and on the other hand, it can also recruit Chinese medicine talents in Guangdong.
However, the big guys in the health clinic are basically all Chinese medicine hackers. Fortunately, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and the like are quite effective and have solved many medical problems after D-Day. Liu San still has a place in the health clinic. However, Dr. Shi and others were not so happy about opening a branch of Runshitang with the nature of a "TCM hospital" - after all, this would occupy the resources of the Provincial and Hong Kong General Hospital. Section Chief Deng, who was in charge of general affairs, pushed the envelope in every possible way, leaving Liu San at a loss. In the end, the commercial department expressed strong interest in the project and the project was approved. However, because it is a commercial project, it can only be regarded as a pharmacy and a doctor.
Zhang Yikun patted his belly and said with a smile: "It's easy to talk, but my words are still useful in this small area of the world." He has been prosperous in Guangzhou in the past few years, full of ambitions, and has a comfortable life. Standard Ming Dynasty gentry style. "We are not outsiders. Brother Liu's business is my business, so I didn't say anything. But...although I have the reputation of being a rich man, in fact all the assets belong to the Senate. I am the one who asks the maid to get the keys. , the boss doesn’t make the decision. Even though I have a lot of stores, staff, and money here, but if I want to spend money and use resources, I have to apply to my superiors first, and then I dare to move after approval. Of course, since Brother Liu has opened his mouth, he can help. I will still do my best to serve the Senate, haha."
Liu San saw that his words were tactful and he couldn't say anything solid after a long conversation. He couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Old Zhang, when we first met a few years ago, you were still a very cheerful person. Why do you now smell like copper? Is it possible that you are a very cheerful person?" Was it the feudal decadence of the Ming Dynasty that defeated you? Sure enough, this man is different once he has money, haha."
Zhang Yikun felt a little unhappy after hearing this, but his face was still full of joy: "Xiao Liu, what you said is unjust. You are not a family member and don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. If you can also come out and take some responsibility, you will know that we are here There are difficulties outside. Let’s just say that the preparations for the big world have been over the past few years. Although it relies on the residual power of our attack on Guangzhou and the support of the special reconnaissance team to kill and hide, it has still spent countless efforts. "
"Stop pretending. Who has wronged you? You just have a bad conscience."
Seeing that the conversation was inappropriate, Zhang Yikun changed the topic and discussed the Guangdong strategy: "There are so many elders here this time. It seems that the Senate is going to start a big fight here."
"Although we don't have a specific plan to attack the mainland this time, it is different from the previous attacks. In the past, when we attacked Guangzhou and Xiamen, we just hit and leave, killing them and leaving them alone. This time we went to the mainland, but It cannot be left. Establishing effective rule is much more difficult than simply destroying it.”
"We are not without experience. Now in Hainan, Taiwan, and Jeju Island, the government's production and construction are all very impressive."
"It's different. We have overwhelming advantages in military, organization and manpower in these places. To put it bluntly, these are the fringe areas of Ming society. The ruling power is very weak and the power of the people is not strong. Once we arrive on the mainland , we are facing feudal people that are a hundred times larger than us and intricate feudal forces, so it is not as easy as imagined."
"It's not a big deal to me. When the Manchu Tatars entered the country, did they have more people than us? Are the production relations more advanced than us? Their system of universal slavery is worse than the Ming Dynasty. Are they not going to eventually rule China? Don't forget it's still a feudal society. The most successful ruling dynasty, why? A hard fist is the truth."
"I don't think it's a good time yet. We should think about it in the long term. This time, I don't agree with following the putschism of those guys in the military to start a war. If we wait another ten years, the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the rogue bandits, etc. will both lose. , all three sides suffer losses, and when all of China is in ruins, wouldn’t it be easier and more popular for us to pick peaches as liberators and saviors?”
"That's what I originally thought. The problem is that we can't wait for another ten years." Zhang Yikun touched his head and sighed, "Although people can live for seventy or eighty years, how many years can they actually work? ? I was already in my thirties on the D-day, and now I am over forty. How many five or ten years are there in life?"
Liu San opened his mouth. He originally wanted to talk about the "Nanshan Project" that the health clinic was studying, but he thought that this project was carried out in secret. Speaking of it rashly would put a lot of pressure on the health clinic, so it was better not to say anything. Still couldn't help but click: "You're over forty, do you think your energy is better than before?"
"It's not bad. I don't think there are any signs of decline." Zhang Yikun didn't know what he meant. "Maybe it's because we live in a good natural environment, eat organic food, and live a regular life." (To be continued.)
