Chinese people have always been wise and ingenious.
The women on Zhuangzi have already learned many techniques for making breakfast.
Things like fried dough sticks, steamed buns, pancakes and tofu puffs are all made in a stylish way.
Sun Simiao looked at the large pot full of hot fried dough sticks and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
He had been to rich families a lot, but this was the first time he had seen people cooking food with a large pot full of oil. It was really outrageous.
The old Taoist priest has good teeth, and even at his age, the fried dough sticks are crunchy and crunchy.
He doesn't eat slowly, but he can still chew slowly and never waste food. Even the leftovers that fall on the table must be picked up and eaten.
After breakfast, Sun Simiao helped clear away the bowls and finally started talking about business.
"Fellow Taoist." He looked very serious. "I heard that fellow Taoist has an elixir that can cure smallpox?"
"Which bastard told you that I had an elixir?"
'Uh~~~'
Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment, and Li Shimin's appearance appeared in his mind.
He shook his head with a wry smile, "Fellow Taoist, the intensity of smallpox poisoning the people is really shocking. We, the Taoist cultivators, are hanging pots to help the world. If you, Taoist, can save all the people from the fire and water, the old Taoist shamelessly implores you to do something for the people of the world. Share your strength!"
If these words were spoken by Fang Xuanling and others, Li Yunze would yawn.
If Li Er told him, Li Yunze would discuss business with him.
The reason is simple. He knows very well that these people's intentions are not as pure as they say.
After all, there is no pure person in the court.
But these words were spoken by Sun Simiao, but he listened carefully.
Because Li Yunze knew very well that Sun Simiao was a pure person, and he only said these words to cure illnesses and save people.
Li Yunze has always respected such people.
As for treating smallpox...
"Daozhang Sun." Li Yunze sighed and said, "For me, it's not that it's impossible to treat smallpox, but it's that it can't be applied on a large scale."
Large-scale treatment of smallpox requires national-level efforts.
Not the power of an agricultural country, but of a truly industrialized country.
"So what we should really do to deal with smallpox is vaccination. As long as you are vaccinated against smallpox, you will not get sick even if you are infected with smallpox in the future."
Li Yunze could clearly feel that Sun Simiao's breathing was quickening. "My friend, where is the smallpox vaccine?"
Li Yunze also scratched his head when he asked this question.
He could buy a huge amount of supplies from the modern world, but he couldn't buy the smallpox vaccine.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t.
In the modern world, smallpox was completely eradicated decades ago, and the vaccine was naturally discontinued accordingly.
Smallpox still exists in some laboratories, but the vaccine cannot be stored for that long. It was even more impossible to take smallpox out of the laboratory and recreate the vaccine.
That would create a risk of leakage.
Therefore, Li Yunze could only take Sun Simiao to the bullpen.
Looking at the large cattle shed in front of him, which was filled with hundreds of cattle, Sun Simiao was puzzled, "What does this mean, fellow Taoist?"
"Smallpox can not only infect humans, but can also infect cattle." Li Yunze explained, "The vaccine, to put it bluntly, enhances the body's corresponding resistance and activates the immune system through microtoxicity. I can't get the finished vaccine here for the time being. You can only make it yourself
Made. "
Although he didn't understand many words, Sun Simiao still nodded seriously, "How should I make it?"
"First the cowpox... then grind it into dry powder... then... finally..."
After describing the method of preventing and treating cowpox, Li Yunze continued, "This matter is very risky. In order to avoid causing infection, we have to find a remote and uninhabited place to make a batch first and then conduct the experiment. Once the experiment is successful, it can be promoted on a large scale. Yes. If all
Everyone in the world has been vaccinated against smallpox, and the smallpox has no basis for its existence. The only result is that it disappears on its own... What's wrong with Taoist Master? "
While Li Yunze was talking, he saw Sun Simiao actually shed tears.
The old man at this age was crying, which really made him a little embarrassed. "What did I say?" '
"Fellow Taoist, don't be surprised."
Sun Simiao wiped away the tears from his eyes and smiled, "The old Taoist is happy."
"The veteran once went to a place where smallpox was raging to save people, and he saw the horrific scenes. It was like a ghost, like a ghost."
Having said this, Sun Simiao wiped the corners of his eyes again, "The old Taoist has tried all his methods, but they are still useless. At this time, I heard that my fellow Taoist had a magical formula that can resist smallpox, and I cried with joy."
"well."
What else could Li Yunze say? He said nothing.
He never worried about dealing with people like Fang Xuanling and Li Er, because he knew that he could control the situation.
But facing the pure Sun Simiao, he could only gradually become pure.
He is a good person after all.
Li Yunze could only show up in person and teach Sun Simiao step by step how to extract cowpox, how to make vaccines, how to conduct experiments, how to inoculate, etc.
Not only did I teach in person, I also had to stay up late at night writing, writing out each step in great detail, which really made my eyes red.
Fortunately, the hard work finally paid off. Medicine King Sun Simiao lived up to his title and studied very seriously and quickly.
"Fellow Taoist." Sun Simiao held a thick stack of procedures in his hand and said seriously, "I want to write this recipe into Qianjin Fang. I wonder if you are willing to part with it?"
At this time, what else can Li Yunze say? "It doesn't matter, you and I are both benevolent doctors. The purpose of hanging a pot to help the world is to prevent the people of the world from suffering from diseases. It is not just to deceive people for money and professional titles. I want to A person's life savings are all spent on medical treatment.
Inside the museum, banners were held to celebrate. Take it and use it, let people all over the world use it for free. "
Sun Simiao took a step forward, and held Li Yunze's hand tightly with his big hands that had numerous cuts from picking herbs all year round. "Fellow Daoist, the people of the world will never forget your kindness."
Seeing Sun Simiao leaving Zhuangzi with men and materials and heading towards the Qinling Mountains in the distance, Li Yunze could breathe a sigh of relief.
Sun Simiao went to the depths of the Qinling Mountains to do experiments, and Li Yunze, who was driven seriously by the old Taoist priest, finally did not have to stay up late to write books.
Back in Zhuangzi, Li Yunze told Zuo Hong before going to bed, "I want to rest. Even if a meteorite falls from the sky, don't wake me up. Otherwise, I will let you clean up the cow dung."
There are naturally piles of cow dung in the cattle farm, and the smell is really hard to describe.
Judging from the breeding density of Lijiazhuang, it is possible to faint directly from the smoke.
There is no doubt that cleaning up cow dung is a tough job.
Zuo Hong beat his chest so loudly that he swore that he would never disturb the owner of the village even if it was burned by fire or flooded with water. "Who dares to disturb the owner of the village? I, Zuo Hong, will be the first to spare him!"
Then, in the early morning of the next day, before last night's thick fog had completely dissipated, Zuo Hong was already standing in the yard calling at the top of his voice, 'villager owner~~~villager owner~~~'
The people in Li Yunze's room were kicked away, they really flew out.
The flying debris splashed on Zuo Hong's face, causing many wounds.
But Zuo Hong didn't dare to move at all because there was someone behind him.
A group of guards hurried forward to protect Li Er. They were really frightened.
The flying wooden door almost hit the emperor. If that happened, they would be in big trouble.
Of course, I still have to thank my former comrade Zuo Hong, because Zuo Hong blocked the flying debris for the emperor.
"Young people get very angry when they get up in the morning." Li Er, who had started to grow a mustache at some point, pushed away the crowd and came forward. "It's understandable."
After glancing at Li Er, Li Yunze raised his head and looked at the sky, "Don't you have to go to work? Don't you have to go to court early? Are you coming here so early, is your head so wet?"
Li Er also looked up at the sky, and said quietly with his hands behind his back, "There are clouds today, and they are quite thick."
Hearing this, Li Yunze was stunned.
Then it suddenly dawned on me that this was the day the rain had been promised.
When Li Yunze and Sun Simiao were practicing cowpox, there were days when the clouds were thick in the sky.
It's just that Li Er needs to make a lot of preparations to make this prayer for rain bigger and stronger, in order to achieve the best results.
Offering sacrifices to the sky to pray for rain is never really about praying for rain, but a political action that contains many demands and secret actions and arrangements.
Asking for rain is just a process, what is needed is the result.
Li Yunze raised his head and yawned, then turned back to the room to get ready.
After sorting out the clothes, washing up, and having breakfast after coming out, I set off for Chang'an City.
But before setting off, Li Yunze reached out and tapped Zuo Hong, "Do you still remember what you said last night?"
Zuo Hong, who is neither stupid nor stupid, has a good memory. Of course he remembers what he said last night that he would never spare anyone who dared to disturb the village owner's rest.
But the problem is that it is the emperor who disturbs the village owner's rest. What can he do? He is helpless.
Zuo Hong's eyes were full of pleading.
Li Yunze snorted twice, but didn't say anything more.
When he arrived at the city gate, Li Yunze reined in his horse and simply asked, "When will it rain?"
Li Er, who looked at him with astonishment, looked at him for a while and responded in a deep voice, "Noon."
"Um."
Li Yunze nodded, "Your Majesty, go and prepare. It will rain at noon inside and outside Chang'an City."
The weather today is very suitable. There are many thick clouds in the sky, and the wind is not too strong. The clouds move very slowly.
Looking at Li Yunze's back as he rode away, Li Er's mind was filled with scenes of making waves.
Shaking his head to dispel the scene in his mind, Li Er rode back to Chang'an City with the guards.
This is his stage, and he is about to stage a huge show of worshiping the sky and praying for rain.
