Then, Chang'an Hospital, located in the south of the city, has become the current holy place of medicine. Because the Donggong Medicine Tibetan Bureau headed by Meng Xian invested a lot of manpower and resources in conducting various clinical trials; it also cured various difficult and complicated diseases for the ancients, and even terminal diseases.
Therefore, a large number of aspiring doctors and pharmacists from all over the world were attracted and gathered. They all participated and joined on the grounds of exchanging skills and learning medical classics; thus, in disguise, the first medical school was established to train students in batches. , the prototype of a research site including human anatomy.
Even under the call of the East Palace, the founders headed by Meng Xian were no longer satisfied with the work of calibrating and verifying many ancient medical books; they began to seek to compile a large-scale pharmacopoeia similar to "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Ji Shi Huifang", and The "Medical Standards" with relatively unified standards and specifications.
This work, which is obviously beneficial to the country and the people, has not only received unanimous praise from the government and the public, but also received praise and commendation from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, not only official famous doctors from the Imperial Medical Office and Shang Yao Bureau have joined in one after another; Received large amounts of donations from princes and nobles.
Therefore, although the current leadership in compiling medical books and pharmacopoeia has gradually been transferred to Ouchi; as a start-up team, coupled with the front-line clinical treatment of Chang'an Hospital, the Donggong Medicine Collection Bureau headed by Meng Xian; still obtained A particularly grand reputation and reputation;
In other words, after treating thousands of patients with difficult and terminal diseases, and rescuing and proudly reviving many times the number of people in the hospital who could only wait to die; Meng Xian and his brothers, disciples, and disciples; It has become the most experienced and capable team in the world.
As his mentor and elder, Sun Simiao, who had already been an official at home and was known as the contemporary king of medicine, was also disturbed and moved by this unprecedented event. He endorsed it with his reputation as a human being, and not only contributed his many years of experience to the compilation of the Pharmacopoeia and Medical Standards.
He even called on his disciples to praise him for his efforts; he even exchanged and competed with his opinions on medical books and prescriptions. Some people even received awards from the court for donating prescriptions and books. This popular event that decorates the prosperous times has further expanded like a snowball.
Therefore, to this day, sporadic doctors from all over the world are still arriving, as well as patients and their families who have traveled thousands of miles to the capital, gathering near the hospital in the south of Chang'an; waiting in line for the opportunity to be diagnosed and treated. It was as lively as going to Beijing to take the exam.
In contrast, the original intention of conducting large-scale human experiments to solve the chronic illness of Prince Li Hong, who had been lingering since childhood, has long been covered up under this temporary wave of disturbance; only what remains is Several specific groups are still diligently searching.
Their evidence is the dozen or so medical books that Jiang Tian left behind; as well as directional instructions on the effective anti-disease ingredients such as artemisinin, penicillium, sulfamides, etc. that have been passed down by later generations; they have conducted countless experiments and explorations, To obtain a certain slim probability and possibility.
Among the changes led by Prince Li Hong, another most significant achievement is a series of hydraulic workshops standing along the Jingshui River and Weihe River. These replaced the original mechanical workshops of water hammers and water mills, and can not only produce batches of Forging and polishing various ironware, lead, tin and copper products.
It can also drive the grinding mechanism to crush rough raw materials such as bark, bamboo, and hemp, and turn them into light, strong, and durable new paper pulp; it can then be prepared by kiln-fired pine smoke ink and wood tar. The fine ink is made into a book on a movable type printing plate mechanism several feet high.
Then, these large-scale reprints of various cheap books and official model collections of classics and history, poems and songs were marketed in bookstores and bookstores in cities and towns all over the world through the related industries under the name of Donggong; they were filled in every famous city and important city. In the library of the official school.
Therefore, in addition to the share allocated by the imperial court and Ouchi, one of the most important items of income for the East Palace is this large-scale printing. After all, compared with the billions of people in the world, among them there are those who are willing to travel, learn and make progress. There are tens of thousands of scholars and their families who have been promoted through the imperial examination.
After all, what kind of folk version can compete with the normative books calibrated by the literary team of the current prince? Moreover, the reputation of the East Palace is promoted through this, and among the people, he is vaguely regarded as the current prince. , bestowing grace and welfare on scholars all over the world.
In contrast, as another way to make money by walking on multiple legs, in the industry under the name of Donggong, trying the Feiqian joint venture project is relatively more bumpy. The reason involved is also very simple; officials do not compete with the people for profit, let alone the prince of the country, how can he be infected by the smell of copper.
Therefore, let alone being heard by heaven, even the several prime ministers who assisted the prince in supervising the country expressed varying degrees of dissuasion or opposition; some even used this to impeach, and utilitarianism appeared in the East Palace. of sycophants; only Prime Minister Xiao Dezhao expressed implicit support.
Therefore, the prince Li Hong could only make a few remarks when listening to the government, and then he accepted the advice. At the same time, on the grounds of promoting benefits and eliminating disadvantages, he reorganized many properties posted under the East Palace; transferred some direct Businesses involving dijian, shop and quality shops were all divested.
Then, he once again wrote a letter saying that many of the soldiers in Guanzhong were having a hard time making a living, and asked to be exempted from debt. When he repeated the same old tune, he also mentioned these soldiers who were guarding the border and went to the army. Although they were provided with food, clothing, salt, vegetables, and money and silk The payment was fully paid, but there was always a delay, which led to difficulties in making a living for the family.
Therefore, we sincerely request that due to the great grace of Heaven, we should set up special delivery offices near the military mansions in the pass. Based on the original post buildings, we would like to set up special delivery offices to deliver letters and personal belongings from soldiers and soldiers, as well as receive mails from the people. Paid delivery is required to subsidize and maintain the working mules and horses.
Then, special transfer stations were established in more than a dozen larger cities with rich military bureaucracies and developed business travel such as Xianyang, Fufeng, and Feng Ling on the Guannei Road, which were managed by divisions. At the same time, it also engages in the nascent folk money exchange business, the copper money exchange business for gold, silver, silk, silk and other valuable goods.
However, Prince Li Hong's memorial was left unpublished. After some time, the Queen of Heaven had someone read it out again at the court meeting. She was extremely impressed and said that the Prince had overseen the country for many years. He has quite a lot of achievements and experience; he is enough to promote advantages and eliminate disadvantages, and share worries with the country.
Later, the emperor of the current dynasty, who was becoming increasingly lazy in his administration, also took advantage of the situation and announced that he had adopted some of the provisions, and tried one or two in Gyeonggi Province and Tongji Province respectively. Among them, the operation of the government troops in Gyeonggi Province was handed over to Xiao Dezhao, the prime minister/right concubine who assisted the supervision of the country, to assist the prince in enacting his laws.
Of course, in terms of system and structure, this system has been mature for many years in another version of time and space. The only problem is that it needs to train and arrange enough manpower to ensure that during the general execution of the operation, As for serious distortion, it can even become a disaster.
At this time, the first two batches of half-year-long students who came out of the inner academy of the East Palace and were proficient in writing and calculation, as well as some low-level officials who had been engaged in general affairs for a long time, were put to use. Therefore, the network has been laid out in more than 20 counties in Gyeonggi Province.
However, the corresponding business development is still at the initial stage of breaking even, or even at a slight loss; because as a new thing that has never been seen before, in addition to the military soldiers affiliated to the imperial court; the vast majority of civilians, civilians, and businessmen Most travelers still watch in secret.
The few dozens of off-site cashing transactions were made by the royal family, relatives, dignitaries and ministers in the capital, in order to show their goodwill to the prince in charge of the country, and made symbolic contributions. In addition, Prince Li Hong also used his power to supervise the country to a small extent, allowing the palaces and royal estates in various places to be transferred.
By the way, the money and grain reserves produced in these palaces and imperial fields were also used as capital guarantees for various transfer stations; finally, this brand-new system was put into operation stumblingly; while making a slight loss and making a profit, It also received unanimous praise from soldiers from all over the country.
All these changes and progress were recorded in a set of specially classified daily notes/memorandums by the attendants of Prince Li Hong for future inquiries and inquiries. The person beside Concubine Pei who takes care of this daily life is Mrs. Zheng, who is the Secretary-General of the Sixth Shang.
Therefore, just such a responsibility in charge of daily life is enough to reflect her crucial and key position in the East Palace, as well as her potential importance. Of course, in addition to Concubine Pei, Wan'er was also allowed to read part of it; as for Jiang Tian, there was no taboo.
Of course, many other things also happened in the Tang Dynasty this year; some were closely related to the East Palace, some had only varying degrees of indirect influence; and some continued to follow the established historical trajectory and continue in the chaos and unknown. Zhonggungun pushed forward.
For example, as a strategic counterattack against Tubo's expansion, in November of the first year of Shangyuan (AD 674), King Fuchaxiong of Khotan came to the court. In the first month of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Kingdom of Khotan was designated as the governor of Bisha, and its territory was divided into ten states. The Khotan king Yuchi Fuchaxiong was granted the title of governor of Bisha.
Taking Khotan as an important force in the Western Region as a benchmark, while disintegrating the peripheral alliances of Tibet, the Tang Dynasty also intended to gradually restore its rule and influence in the Western Region. Then Tubo sent its ministers to the Tang Dynasty to seek peace with Tuyuhun, and to request the restoration of good-neighborly relations with Tuyuhun;
However, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty refused, and instead turned around and ennobled Tuyuhun's proton. That's right, Tuyuhun, the biggest stumbling block in the rise of Tubo and an old enemy that has been fighting for many years; and the longest Wuhu branch in the Southern and Northern Dynasties (more than 800 years), is still alive and kicking.
At this time, Tubo, which had just left the land of Houzang, did not have time to completely annex the vast Qinghai and gain the geographical advantage to conquer the plateau. In the previous Battle of Dafeichuan, Qinling defeated the Tang army led by Xue Rengui with absolute superiority, and western Qinghai was gradually controlled by Tibet.
Tuyuhun Khan Nuohebo and his wife, Princess Honghua of Tang Dynasty, led thousands of remaining troops to abandon the country and flee to Liangzhou. After attaching himself to the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong granted Nuohebo the title of King of Qinghai and supported him to regroup the remaining tribes in eastern Qinghai and continue to fight against Tibet. Therefore, this might not be a temptation by Tibet.
Test Datang's determination to continue to maintain the four lost towns of Anxi. From the perspective of future generations, the Tubo regime, located on a plateau with a harsh and dangerous environment, was actually quite good at constantly learning and seizing opportunities during its rise step by step.
