Yao Chong was lingering on the sickbed some time ago. Xuanzong personally sent Dr. Du, who was superb at diagnosing pulses, and Master Zhen, who was a master of acupuncture, to take turns visiting him for consultation.
After Jiang Shidu took the tonic prescription prescribed by Li Sixu, he supervised the construction of secret rooms for Taiyuan Hospital and the digging of canals in Shangyang Palace. He was in high spirits.
So Li Sixu asked Imperial Physician Zhen and Imperial Physician Du to get some valuable medicinal materials from the small warehouse of Linglongju, as well as some medicines from the Imperial Hospital. According to Yao Chong's condition, she sent some clearing and tonic prescriptions to Yao Chong's house. .
Yao Chong insisted on taking the Qingbu prescription to make soup. After drinking it, his health did improve. Although he was still a little weak, he could still go to court every few days.
Yao Chong was extremely grateful to Li Sixu for the clear and tonic prescription he gave to extend his life!
I learned that the malaria medicine developed in the secret room of the Imperial Hospital has been continuously sent to the Imperial Medical Office, and has been used on malaria patients treated by the Imperial Medical Office with miraculous effects.
Yao Chong burst into tears and praised Li Sixu again.
He opened his mouth to talk about the little princess and shut up about the little princess, saying that he envied Xuanzong for having such an extraordinary talent and a heart to help the world.
If the Yao family had such a granddaughter, she would be able to close her eyes in peace one day.
After Xuanzong asked Eunuch Yang to send someone to escort Yao Chong out of the palace, he sat in the imperial study and was overjoyed. Thinking of his little ten, he glanced at ten lines while reviewing the memorials.
After almost finishing the review, he asked Eunuch Yang: "What is Xiao Shi busy with these days?"
"After the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, the little princess has been developing malaria medicine in the secret room of the Imperial Medical College. Now the malaria medicine sent to the Imperial Medical Office is available in tablets. It is said that when the malaria medicine is mass-produced, it can be put into the market and used in more diseases. In patients with malaria.”
Speaking of Li Sixu, the reticent Eunuch Yang talked a lot.
"The princess still finds time to go to Shangyang Palace these days. Master Jiang built a canal to divert water from Taiye Lake into Shangyang Palace, which solved the water source problem. Now the wasteland in Shangyang Palace is almost reclaimed. The princess has ordered people to The seeds of Artemisia annua were sown.”
"Sow in spring and harvest in autumn. This is the way of heaven."
Xuanzong was puzzled by Li Sixu's behavior: "Xiao Shi actually chose to plant artemisia annua in autumn?"
"The little princess said that Artemisia annua is a kind of composite plant that can grow in autumn. She also said that when the weather gets colder, she won't be afraid of freezing the Artemisia annua to death. She will build a greenhouse to plant it."
"Greenhouse cultivation?"
Xuanzong was puzzled: "This is really unheard of. What kind of method is greenhouse cultivation?"
"What the little princess means is to keep the weather outside the shed and make the inside of the shed feel like spring all year round. In this way, even in winter, the severe cold can be kept outside the shed and the plants inside will still grow luxuriantly."
Eunuch Yang reported to Xuanzong: "The little princess summoned Wang Yuanbao to the palace yesterday and asked him to help build the shed that can be like spring all year round. The emperor is busy with government affairs, so the princess asked Zuo Wei to keep quiet."
His little things are so neat!
When the zhezi was almost approved, Xuanzong laughed loudly and said: "Then I will go to Shangyang Palace to see what magic is there to keep the winter outside the shed?"
"The little princess is not in Shangyang Palace!"
Eunuch Yang hesitated and said, "The princess went to Nanxun Palace and said she wanted to give the Queen a surprise."
Originally, Xuanzong was worried about Wu Jieyu about the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner. After carrying her back to the Hanbing Palace, he realized that it was not appropriate to leave the queen behind to face the emperor's relatives.
Xuanzong felt a little guilty because of this matter, but he didn't take it too seriously. When he heard that Li Sixu went to the Queen's Nanxun Palace, he felt a little guilty again.
His little Shiyou was surprised and only thought about the queen, not his father.
This made Xuanzong feel a little disappointed.
"Oh, Xiao Shi wants to surprise my queen?"
Xuanzong stood up and said: "Let's go with me to Nanxun Palace to see what medicine is sold in Xiaoshi Gourd..."
There were no eunuchs or maids on duty in Nanxun Palace. Xuanzong and Eunuch Yang were still at the entrance of the palace when they heard bursts of exclamations and the queen's laughter coming from inside.
Xuanzong led Eunuch Yang into the palace without any obstruction, and saw the eunuchs and maids surrounding the queen.
"Print one more and another, I still want to see it."
"This slave will grind ink for the princess!"
"Wow, it's printed. It's printed."
"The little princess is so awesome. I dare to ask, if I print it out, can I keep a copy of it in Nanxun Hall?"
"..."
With the aura of Xuanzong and Eunuch Yang, no one noticed them after entering the palace for a while.
What kind of surprise could make the palace maids and eunuchs neglect their duties?
Xuanzong felt that the messy scene in front of him was a bit outrageous, and he coughed heavily while standing in the hall.
The eunuchs and maids who surrounded Li Sixu and the queen were startled by the coughing. They followed the sound and looked at the emperor and Eunuch Yang who were standing in the palace. They were so frightened that their knees softened and they fell to the ground.
As the maids and eunuchs all knelt down, Xuanzong saw clearly that Li Sixu was tinkering with something that looked like a carving in front of the desk. There was a thick stack of paper placed on the table.
The little man's face was stained with ink marks, like a little cat.
Li Sixu looked towards Xuanzong and showed a bright smile: "Father is here!"
The look of her little cat made Xuanzong laugh!
The aura that burst out from Xuanzong's body disappeared like a tide: "What is Xiao Shi doing?"
"Typography!"
Before Li Sixu could speak, the empress greeted Xuanzong: "On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuzhen came to the palace and said that he wanted to print a script and distribute it to the believers. However, there were too many words in the script, and the money spent on printing it was not taken into account. Just carving the engravings takes a lot of manpower and material resources.”
"Xiao Shi figured out how to use movable type printing and asked Wang Yuanbao to help him make the type plates and blocks."
When Xuanzong came to the desk, the queen explained: "Xiao Shi just showed me and the palace attendants in Nanxun Palace how to use movable type printing to print scripts. This palace is really eye-opening and strange."
Xuanzong looked at Li Sixu, who had ink marks on his face and body, and seemed to be asking how this movable type printing was carried out, which made the queen find it very strange.
Li Sixu then explained while demonstrating: "The printing technique circulating in the market now is block printing. The words are engraved on the block, and then printed with ink and paper. This method evolved from rubbing."
Xuanzong nodded!
Li Sixu then picked up a word block and handed it to Xuanzong.
"As for Erchen, let Wang Yuanbao carve commonly used characters on the clay, and then make a character plate to place the clay. According to the content of the book, Erchen will find the corresponding clay and arrange it neatly."
Li Sixu looked at the script book, found out the blocks to be printed, then placed them neatly and orderly on the writing tray, brushed ink in front of Xuanzong, and then covered them with paper.
Then spread the finished product on the table and show it to Xuanzong.
