The banquet to celebrate the housewarming did not last long. Cheng Juxiu's three academy disciples were busy with everything and had their own affairs to deal with.
Yang Yu, Yong Hongzhong, Ji Linlang and others also have to prepare for their future life in the academy.
Yang Yu's family held a running banquet for six days. Anyone who came over and said "Yang Qilang is talented by eight buckets", "Yang Qilang is rich in learning" or "Yang Qilang is smart and eager to learn" could eat and drink for free.
In this way, Yang Yu's family still disliked the banquet scene, which was deserted compared to several other families in Chang'an City whose children were admitted to the academy.
Yong Hongzhong and Ji Linlang had to write letters home to inform their parents of the good news so that their families would not have to worry.
In addition, Ji Linlang also told Li Ang an interesting story - Yu Miaoshui, a Buddhist doctor in Zhenzhou City who was famous for selling mung beans. During this time, he was also eagerly inquiring about the progress of this year's Academy Examination.
When the news of Li Ang's first try and second place came back to Zhenzhou City, Yu Miaoshui was ashen as ashes and closed down his business.
When the news that Li Ang ranked first in the re-examination came back to Zhenzhou City, the door of Yu Miaoshui's house was closed tightly, and crying continued to be heard in the yard.
When the news came back that Li Ang was judged by Xi Yangyu to be unable to practice cultivation for the rest of his life, Yu Miaoshui was overjoyed again, and the crying in the yard stopped again.
And when the dust settled and the news came back that Li Ang had become the first top scholar in the academy in Zhenzhou, Yu Miaoshui sat at home for a whole day without eating or drinking.
The next day, looking haggard, as if he had aged several dozen years, he took the initiative to drag his family with him and went to Lansheng Building at the head of Zhenzhou Bridge to find Song Shaoyuan’s mother, Aunt Song.
Kneeling down and pleading, Yu's family's pharmacy, property and house in Zhenzhou City were sold to Aunt Song at a low price - looking at the situation, if Aunt Song really didn't accept it, the other party would jump into the river.
Aunt Song had no choice but to buy the property at a low price, and Yu Miaoshui was grateful and took her family away from Zhenzhou to other places.
The letter sent from Zhenzhou to Chang'an the next day also stated these contents.
In the letter, Aunt Song first expressed her apology to Li Ang for making the decision without authorization, and also attached the flight tickets for one-third of the Yu family's property sold at normal prices, totaling 1,500 yuan - the other two-thirds. You need to wait until the remaining houses are sold before sending it to Chang'an.
Then Aunt Song wrote another letter, asking Li Ang to comfort Song Shaoyuan, so that he should not be sad if he failed to pass the imperial examination. He could stay in Chang'an for another six months and take the imperial examination in February next year.
sad...
Li Ang looked at the letter and thought of Song Shaoyuan, who had a close relationship with Youdu, and his expression was strange.
Next year, if Aunt Song comes to Chang'an to visit, I'm afraid she will have grandchildren.
This is nothing.
Li Ang shook his head and put down the letter. Song Shaoyuan studied very hard, not to mention Youduzhi's own literary talent was also very high, so he had a good chance of taking the imperial examination.
The incident with Yu Miaoshui was just a short interlude, and Li Ang put the fifteen hundred strings away casually.
During this time, he was mainly busy with two things.
The first thing is to meet with people from the Ministry of War, Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of Industry, Taichang Temple, and Imperial Medical Office.
The Ministry of War needs Li Ang to help formulate malaria-related problems that may be encountered if the Yu Kingdom sends troops south. For example, anti-mosquito and anti-mosquito strategies when stationed in barracks.
The Ministry of Revenue and Taichang Temple informed Li Ang about matters related to midwifery forceps, such as publishing articles in academic publications to explain the use of midwifery forceps and key points to note, and asking doctors from the Imperial Medical Office in each state to convene midwives in the state to promote the use of midwifery forceps. etc.
By the way, Li Ang wrote down the precautions for childbirth and postpartum care in written form.
For example, midwives should wash their hands, disinfect midwifery forceps and mattresses, strengthen maternal health care during pregnancy, pay attention to balanced nutrition, and enhance physical fitness.
This is a broken situation. Malaria is relatively sensitive and it is difficult to post Li Ang's name. Midwifery forceps does not have this taboo.
According to officials from the two ministries, both His Majesty and the Queen intend to publicize Li Ang's achievements, and the title of Gynecological Master will never go away.
In this case, it is better to do a good job in promoting maternal care and save more lives - the maternal mortality rate during childbirth and postpartum care is as high as 1.5% in some extremely backward areas of Yu State. ,
Many of them are caused by backward hygiene concepts.
The Ministry of Industry came to visit regarding the mosquito prevention matter in Chang'an. Although the Tantai Leshan Siye from the academy had re-revised the Chang'an water canal construction plan with his students, they still had to consult again on the specific mosquito prevention strategy. Li Ang.
For example, how to make anti-mosquito nets, what plants should be used to repel mosquitoes, what kind of fish should be raised if fish are to be raised in ditches to eat the larvae, etc.
Because the people in Chang'an are talkative and I don't know what's going on, before the specific policies of the Ministry of Industry have been formulated, news about mosquito-borne diseases has begun to spread in the city.
Rich families began to hang silk mosquito nets in their halls and bedrooms, and linen mosquito nets of inferior materials were also sold out, causing cloth prices to rise in Chang'an.
These matters were handled by professionals. Li Ang didn't pay much attention to them. He locked himself in the house and announced that he wanted to study the medical books sent by the Imperial Medical Office.
In fact, he used the fifteen hundred guan to buy gold, silver and other precious metals at a gold shop in Chang'an West City, and continued to study ink silk.
Feeding precious metals to the ink silk can indeed increase the strength of the ink silk, improve body functions, and optimize the efficiency of spiritual vein transmission without affecting its own volume and weight.
The faster the progress, the more gold and silver will be consumed.
At present, Li Ang has consumed about 150 taels of gold and 500 taels of pure silver.
He strengthened the six and a half spiritual veins from the skull when the sword was severed to the level of about nine spiritual veins.
If he could swallow more gold and silver, the strength of his spiritual veins could even reach thirteen or fourteen, getting closer and closer to the genius in the academy concept.
"I heard that Pei Jing's spiritual talent is fourteen, a qualification only found among tens of millions of people.
And Liu Yemei is definitely not bad either.
If you want to catch up with or even surpass their innate qualifications, you will need more money..."
In the room, Li Ang shook his head and complained: "Is this krypton gold creating happiness?"
The price of gold in Chang'an is that one tael costs seventeen guan and five hundred wen.
Fifteen hundred guan, I can't even buy a hundred taels of gold.
New sources of revenue must be developed.
While Li Ang was thinking about ways to make money, he was also concerned about the news about the Zhenfu Division.
Jiao Cheng's disappearance caused some slight disturbances in the Pingkangfang and Chang'an gangs, but was quelled by the people above.
Jiao Cheng was a tool for someone or some powerful people to make money, and no one wanted his death to be widely noticed. So it didn’t take long for Pingkangfang to have a new manager.
The pavilion where Jiao Cheng originally lived was also engulfed and burned by a fire.
As for whether the Zhenfu Division continued the investigation and dug out more clues from the underground palace to contact the missing Jiao Cheng and even Li Ang...
Li Ang had no way of knowing this information, so he could only search for information secretly and continue to wait.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and finally, the day for the academy to start school arrived.
