The sweltering heat of Asia Minor makes people drowsy. There is no feasting, no revelry, and no impulse to love.
Li Ning waited for 4 days in Ancharas, and Alexander broke free from those trivial plots and came to him smoothly.
So this guy once again lay in the carriage like a sick cat. Alexander thought he was really sick and hurriedly took him back to Tarsus to seek help from Philip.
But during the treatment, Li Ning confided the truth to Philip, saying that all the work he had done before facing the King of Persia had been completed long before he fell ill for the first time.
His Majesty the Great King will win the decisive battle without any doubt. The only uncertainty is whether he will be harmed.
After hearing this, Philip was shocked.
He grew up with King Alexander, but he never knew how trustworthy the king's military capabilities were. He accompanied the king on an expedition not knowing what would happen, but he never felt a trace of pride or complacency. , which convinced him that the king could successfully win the war.
But the man in front of him openly told him that the king would definitely win the war in the future. He also said that the work he could help the king complete had been completed long ago. Next, the king would show his undoubted absolute power. ability.
He felt the admiration and recognition of the king, and also felt his concern for the king. He was worried about what harm the king would suffer in the next decisive battle. As the king's doctor and one of the most famous pharmacists in Macedonia, He also had the same worries, but his worries had never been expressed in such a solemn and solemn way.
Suddenly, he seemed to have found another person who was protecting this young man like himself.
He is not a god, but he is as mysterious as a god.
They have the aura of wise men, but they are always concerned about success and failure.
He doesn't have the spirit of a hero, but he can stand out on the battlefield at any time.
He is convincing and trustworthy, like steel, resisting corrosion in sea water for thousands of years.
Philip left. He had seen countless patients, but he had never seen such a patient.
At this time, Alexander was offering sacrifices to Asclepius, the god of medicine.
In order to celebrate his recovery from the curse of death, and also to allow his friend Li Ning to receive the same blessing.
However, Li Ning only found Philotas and asked him when he would cross the Arean Plain to attack the Pyramus region northward.
The Pyramus area was the last target of the attack on this trip to Silesia.
He was in the area east of the Cilicia Gate, or northeast from Tarsus.
Cleitas replied that in three days he would attack Tirana, and at the same time Alexander would go to Maras, and after continuing east for a while, head south to Phoenicia.
The king was not interested in agricultural production in the two river basins. He wanted to know how Fuxi's spirit had achieved such great success in the commercial field. You must know that in the entire Eastern Mediterranean, except for the maritime trade of the Greeks, there was no such thing that could attract the king's attention. business activities.
Li Ning is also very interested in how to make things like Phoenician Red, but the southward attack direction is not an absolute choice for him.
Therefore, he believed that in the subsequent war, the two sides may part ways for a period of time.
But he never mentioned this statement to anyone. He just sent away his old friend Fabertus silently.
At the same time, Alexander's time to rest in Silesia also gave Li Ning the opportunity to deal with rear affairs.
The first piece of good news is that the ship that traveled to the Arab region in the past few months to collect scholars, craftsmen, slaves and other talents in various fields has finally returned to Quanzhou Port smoothly.
What is very interesting is that a great scholar who may have been on the verge of death in history appears in the list of these talents.
This man was called Avicenna.
His real name is Ibn Sina.
This Tajik worked for various dynasties in Khorezm, which later became Uzbekistan. He also went to Persia to serve the local feudal rulers.
He had completed his masterpiece (medical classic) more than 20 years ago, so he was famous in the local area.
Based on this, it is not difficult to find out about him, but it is very difficult to invite him.
Because the local ruler almost regarded him as a treasure and would never allow him to leave easily.
However, the cunning Arabs do everything possible for commercial interests. After finding each other, several friends of Puyana discovered that his physical condition was not very good. As a doctor and a famous medical scientist, even his own health Failure to take good care of them is probably a sign of great incompetence.
Therefore, they used a small provocation to anger the respected elder, and then spread many similar rumors in the local area. Finally, they claimed in front of the local ruler that such a respected elder faced such a dilemma. Very sympathetic.
Then he pointed out that there might be someone in distant China who could cure his disease.
The local gays were helpless and unwilling to see their treasure die, let alone see her despised and doubt their own judgment and knowledge of others.
Therefore, he could only ask those cunning businessmen to send Avicenna to the Song Empire.
After arriving in Quanzhou, local doctors and Hanlin medical officers working in the Guangmu Division were invited to solve the health problems of this friend from afar.
In fact, Jiang Hua's Arab businessmen were not absolutely sure at all, but unfortunately, the powerful Hanlin medical officers actually found some ways to extend their lifespan.
Although this wise man was old and death was an inevitable outcome, he quickly agreed to cooperate with the treatment after hearing that it could prolong life.
At the same time, many of the various classics he created were brought to the Song Dynasty.
Crazy translation work also started quickly.
If most of the people involved in the translation were Arabs who had lived in the Song Dynasty for a relatively long time, local scholars seemed not to be interested in barbarian medical works.
Even Li Ning has a similar attitude, mainly because although Avicenna, as a famous natural science scholar, has very high scientific and medical attainments, he is limited to exploring the era of life, so the relevant level is not imagined is so high, so Li Ning did not show too much interest in this aspect.
But he still gave his Arab friend Puyane a reward of nearly 50 million.
However, the other party seemed not satisfied, because the good news he brought was not just this.
First of all, the arrival of a large number of Arab craftsmen brought obvious benefits to Li Ning's iron and copper smelting business.
The team heading to Mayi, the Philippines, also embarked on a trip not long ago.
As it developed on the Southeast Asian archipelago, the idea of plantations slowly began to attract the attention of the imperial court.
One of the most important reasons is that the Song Dynasty often faced food crises, and the agricultural characteristics of three crops a year in the south during the same period of rain and heat undoubtedly became the most coveted condition of the Song Dynasty.
It’s just that the local people are lazy and greedy, so they guard the cornucopia but refuse to transfer the land. As a result, the local food output is low, it is difficult to buy knowledge, and they can’t get permission to plant their own crops. Therefore, the court is trying to solve this problem. Worry about things.
However, another friend brought by Puyane provided a brand new solution for the Song Dynasty court and Li Ning.
