"Blood test is nonsense!"
As soon as the news came out in Di Bao, it aroused heated discussion among the people.
In this era, blood recognition is the only way to identify parent-child relationships. It has been used by royal nobles in the past, but it has now been proven to be false.
Suddenly, countless people's faces turned green.
"Who would have thought that a blood test would be fake?"
Beside the Royal Lake, Zhao Xu and Zhao Xu were training as usual and couldn't help but smack their tongues.
The royal family naturally values bloodline the most. However, when concubines enter the palace, they will check their bodies to ensure that they are virgins. Moreover, the palace is full of maids and eunuchs, and there are no men. In addition, every sexual intercourse in the harem is recorded, and blood is dropped to test the authenticity of the marriage. Pseudo doesn't have much impact on it.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Although the blood test has been proven to be untrue, blood transfusion therapy is feasible."
"Blood transfusion therapy? Is it true that blood transfusions are not allowed between father and son?"
Zhao Xu frowned and said,
Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "Mr. Pang has already used animals to conduct experiments. Once the blood between father and son is mixed, there will be nine deaths out of ten."
Fan Zheng's efforts in cultivating a line of veterinarians finally paid off. Many medical ideas cannot be directly applied to the human body. Using animals for experiments has become a trend among doctors, and the line of veterinarians is indispensable.
"What a pity." Zhao Xu frowned.
If doctors could successfully test blood transfusion therapy, more soldiers of the Song Dynasty would surely be saved.
Fan Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Wei Chen came here today to seek help from the officials."
"Ask me for help?"
Zhao Xu couldn't help but be surprised. He knew that Fan Zheng had always had a steady stream of villains, and he had never seen anything that stumped Fan Zheng.
Fan Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "I am a doctor, not a god, so naturally there are things beyond my power."
Zhao Xu laughed and said, "Then how do you want me to help you?"
"If the blood transfusion therapy is successful, the world will benefit a lot. However, Wei Chen gathered the collective wisdom of the doctors, but got nothing. Wei Chen wants to ask the Ministry of Industry to supervise the skilled craftsmen to help the doctors." Fan Zheng said solemnly.
Zhao Xu was very puzzled and said: "How can a craftsman who is going to be the supervisor know medical skills?"
Fan Zheng explained: "Although craftsmen do not have medical skills, they can help doctors create better blood transfusion equipment. Moreover, Weichen is impressed by the wonders of Kuoku and plans to use Kuoku's method. Please make a pair of them for doctors." Eyes, eyes that can see the tiniest speck of dust.”
Fan Zheng naturally knew that blood type was the most important for a successful blood transfusion, and a microscope was necessary to identify the blood type.
Naturally, it was impossible to build a microscope with the technological level of the Song Dynasty. Fortunately, it only required a microscope that was forty times more powerful to see the cells in the blood. The only way to do this was to create a powerful craftsman.
"allow!"
Zhao Xu naturally agreed.
"Thank you, officials!"
Fan Zheng was overjoyed and couldn't wait to leave and go to the general's prison.
………………
Will be jailed!
"Gongshu should have met Master Fan!"
Fan Zheng came with the official instructions in hand, and the general did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent out highly skilled public transportation personnel to assist Fan Zheng.
"Master Gongshu is so polite. I hope Master Gongshu can help the doctors this time," Fan Zheng said solemnly.
"I wonder what Lord Fan wants to create?" Gongshu Ying asked.
Fan Zheng solemnly laid out his ideas for the microscope.
"It can magnify an object forty times! Is this impossible?" Gong Shuying suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.
The most he could do was to magnify an object several times. Being able to let an old official see documents clearly was already an incredible achievement, but magnifying it forty times was simply a fantasy.
Fan Zheng raised a presbyopic lens and looked at the enlarged text inside. He smiled slightly and said, "A convex lens cannot magnify an object more than forty times. What if two convex lenses are superimposed?"
Fan Zheng immediately stacked the two coins together and handed them to Gong Shuying.
Gongshu Ying couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the words enlarged more than ten times in Kuili.
"How can it still be like this?" Gongshu Ying said in disbelief.
Fan Zheng nodded. Since the two convex lenses can be magnified more than ten times, theoretically speaking, it is not impossible to reach forty times.
However, Gongshu Ying smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Master Fan's recipe is indeed magical, but it is still difficult for me to complete it."
Fan Zheng frowned and said, "Why is this?"
Gongshu Ying said helplessly: "Firstly, although the crystal is transparent, it still has many flaws and is not completely transparent. Secondly, no matter how superb the polishing process is, the surface may appear as smooth as a mirror, but after magnification, ox hair lines will appear, let alone four Ten times, that is, magnified twenty times, I am afraid it will be impossible to see clearly.
"Ox hair pattern!"
Fan Zheng frowned, picked up a polished crystal and magnified it with a lens. Sure enough, there were fine lines of cow hair formed by polishing.
"Sure enough, there is no shortcut in medical skills!" Fan Zheng sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan, artificial glass.
"Glass, you don't know what glass is?" Gongshu Ying asked confused.
Fan Zheng replied: "Glass and colored glaze are essentially the same, but glass is simpler to make. It only requires sand and lime to make it."
"How is this possible?" Gongshu Ying said in shock.
You must know that glass was extremely valuable in the Song Dynasty, and sand and lime were available everywhere, so how could they be compared.
"Master Gongshu will know after just one try!"
Fan Zhengxin said.
Gongshu should be dubious and follow Fan Zheng's method of mixing, grinding and pulverizing the gravel and lime, then sending them to the crucible for smelting over a large fire.
Out of the oven!
cool down!
When a large piece of translucent glass appeared in front of him, Gongshu Ying said in disbelief: "It's so simple."
The glass in front of Fan Zheng was just the most primitive glass, with a lot of impurities and bubbles, and not enough transparency.
However, Fan Zheng was not disappointed. Under his guidance, Gongshu continued to improve the formula after many repeated experiments.
Finally, a colorless and transparent glass product appeared in front of the two of them.
"It is finished"
Fan Zheng was filled with ecstasy.
With transparent glass, doctors can conduct various medical experiments.
With transparent glass, there is no need to use expensive and rare colorless crystals to create kuei. Cheap glass kuei will benefit scholars all over the world.
With transparent glass, microscopes will be at your fingertips, and doctors will enter a new era, and doctors will be able to see through
The great success of the medical profession is imminent.
With transparent glass, the most difficult step in building a microscope was finally completed. With Gongshu Ying's exquisite production, an original microscope was finally completed.
Its shape was much simpler than that of later microscopes, and its clarity was also far different, but Fan Zheng regarded it as a treasure. It was a priceless treasure for doctors.
Fan Zheng looked at Gongshu Ying, who was still shocked, and couldn't help but thought: "I wonder if Master Gongshu is willing to join the medical family?"
"Join a medical family? I'm just a craftsman, but I don't have medical skills!" Gongshu Ying said in confusion.
Fan Zheng solemnly said: "Doctors will set up a medical engineering institute! It will be responsible for manufacturing medical equipment for doctors. A microscope with forty times magnification is just the beginning. Doctors need more accurate microscopes to explore the sources of diseases!"
"If Master Gongshu joins the medical family, his status will be second only to Fan. He will be on an equal footing with the presidents of various hospitals and enjoy all the benefits of the medical family."
Following Fan Zheng's promises, Gongshu Ying looked excited. Although he was a prisoner, although he was highly skilled, he was just a low-status craftsman. But if he joined a medical family, he could rise to the top in one step, not to mention the enviable pension provided by a medical family. treatment.
However, Gongshu Ying said bitterly: "Thank you very much, Fan Taicheng's kindness. I am a craftsman from the Ministry of Industry, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."
The Song Dynasty had extremely strict restrictions on craftsmen, especially large craftsmen like Gongshu Ying, who were affiliated with the Ministry of Industry. There were even stricter regulations, and it might be difficult to escape.
"Don't worry, I have my own way to get you to join the medical family."
Fan Zheng turned his peripheral vision to the discarded glass scraps aside. As a time traveler, he naturally knew the value of glass. However, in the eyes of doctors, the valuable glass secret skills were simply worthless compared with the value of a microscope. carry.
…………………………
"Report to the officials! The court is out of money!"
In the Chui Gong Hall, the new Minister of Household Affairs, Fan Chun, said with a solemn expression.
"The court has no money? How is it possible?" Zhao Xu said in disbelief.
In order to save finances, he did not hesitate to take risks and abolished the Liao and Xia Sui coins. Now he has reduced the burden of Ma Zheng. However, the Ministry of Revenue told him that there was no money in the court.
Fan Chunchuan smiled bitterly and said: "The officials don't know. In the previous war between Song and Xia, the court spent a lot of money to build Pingxia City. In addition, a large number of forts were built on the border of Liao and Xia. The weapons supervisor manufactured a large number of divine arm crossbows and Zhentian Lei, he is spending money like water, and the imperial government’s finances are already stretched.”
The Song Dynasty's finances seemed to be large, but the redundancy of soldiers, officials, and expenses were serious, and the expenses were also extremely huge. Now that the situation in Liao and Xia was tense, the Song Dynasty had to take more precautions, which almost brought down the Song Dynasty's finances.
"Although the country is large, if it is warlike, it will perish! Please don't start a war lightly!"
Lu Dafang wrote a letter to advise him.
"The ministers impeached the imperial physician Fan Zheng and persuaded the officials to abolish the annual coins, which put the Song Dynasty into such a crisis." Yang Wei, the censor, once again targeted Fan Zhengdao.
Other ministers of the old party also agreed. They had opposed the abolition of the Sui coins. The expenditure of the Sui coins seemed heavy, but compared with the money spent on the war, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Fan Zheng scolded coldly: "The annual coins may not seem like much, but they are given year by year, and they accumulate a lot of money every year. However, the bastion and the thunder can frighten Liao Xia. Although the expenditure is huge, it can be done once and for all." , there is no need for Fan to calculate the economic accounts one by one for you!"
Zhao Xu nodded. Zhentianlei's offense was insufficient, but its defense was more than enough. The Song Dynasty had enough confidence to resist Liao Xia.
Although this expenditure is huge, it is a one-time expenditure. In the long run, it will be greatly beneficial to the Song Dynasty.
Lu Dafang snorted coldly: "Having said that, the Song Dynasty adopted the strategy of jointly operating the Silk Road with the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom has not yet responded. It is still unclear whether the Liao Kingdom will be in war or peace. The Song Dynasty will all If the finances are used to defend Liao and Xia, I am afraid it will only bring down the Song Dynasty."
Now Liao Xia has to guard against the fact that the expenditure of the Ministry of Household Affairs is like a bottomless pit, which directly affects the government's finances. This makes the old party extremely dissatisfied and can't help but miss the days when they used to spend money to buy peace.
Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Yizhuang still has hundreds of thousands of donations from people all over the world, which will be transferred to Kaifeng City in the near future and can be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Li Qingzhao is now taking advantage of the momentum of the Battle of Pingxia City to open charity villages in various cities in the Song Dynasty and raise funds from the public. After accumulating a little and accumulating a lot, he now has a lot of money to spend.
When Fan Chunli heard this, he was not too happy. He shook his head and said, "It's just a drop in the bucket!"
Fan Zheng said again: "Doctors have recently been studying blood transfusion therapy and accidentally discovered a treasure. They are willing to donate it to the imperial court, which can solve the urgent needs of the imperial court."
"treasure?"
The officials couldn't help but be stunned. They were important officials of the imperial court and had never seen any treasures. Besides, they didn't think that a mere treasure could help the imperial court much. Even a gold mine might not be able to save the Song Dynasty's finances.
In full view of the public,
Fan Zheng took out a crystal clear cup from his arms, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Is this a crystal cup?" Lu Dafang guessed.
"crystal glass?"
All the ministers' eyes suddenly became wild. Crystal is a rare thing. Crystal products must be carved from a complete piece of crystal. The materials are precious, the process is extremely cumbersome, and it is easily damaged.
This was the first time they had seen such an exquisite crystal cup. It was said that during the Warring States Period, there was an extremely precious crystal cup made of pure color crystal, but it was a pity that it was taken into a tomb and buried with it.
"How much do you think this treasure is worth?" Fan Zheng asked as he looked around the court officials.
"Such a large crystal cup is indeed rare, at least worth thousands of gold. However, if it can help the court tide over difficulties, I am afraid it is a bit of an exaggeration!" Fan Chunchuan shook his head.
Crystal cups are indeed rare and precious, but there is only one of them, which does not help at all.
Fan Zheng smiled strangely, stretched out his hand, and in full view of everyone, the crystal cup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces with a snap.
"Fan Taicheng, what does this mean?"
All the officials were heartbroken. This was a crystal cup worth thousands of gold. If Fan Zheng didn’t want it, there was no need to destroy it!
"Weak ministers have lost their manners before impeaching Lord Fan Zheng, and are arrogant because of their favor." A group of censors impeached him one after another.
"The officials should calm down. Fan Zheng was just slippery and made an unintentional mistake." Fan Chunchuan quickly excused his nephew.
Fan Zheng said calmly: "Don't feel bad, everyone. The cost of this crystal cup is only a penny, and you can get it as much as you want!"
"What?"
Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel moved.
Although a crystal cup was precious, it was not something he, an emperor, valued. If this cup was made for a penny and had everything he wanted, even he couldn't help but be moved by the wealth contained in it.
"really?"
All the officials in the court could not help but be shocked.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "As you all know, doctors are currently studying blood transfusion therapy. This is just one of the by-products, called glass. In order to prevent the tragedy of leaking the secret silk technique from happening again, the doctors are willing to dedicate it to the imperial court."
Fan Zheng's glass secret recipe can only be maximized if it is kept secret. Western glass craftsmen live their entire lives on an island just to keep it secret.
Today, I am afraid that only the Song Dynasty government can do this. Even if doctors force themselves to run the glass business, they may only be able to make quick money.
Furthermore, he is a doctor and naturally will not be engaged in business. What he values more is the promotion of medicine by the emergence of glass.
When Tong Guanfan Zhengti prepared a batch of dazzling glass products and placed them in the Chui Gong Hall,
All the civil and military officials couldn't help but see a frenzy in front of them.
Once such an exquisite crystal cup appears in the world, it will definitely become popular. If it is successfully operated, the profit will be no less than that of silk.
"The cost of glass is really only a penny?" Fan Chunchun still couldn't believe it.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "If you want to make glass, the cost is pitifully low. If it doesn't require labor and smelting, it won't cost you a penny."
In front of the officials, Fan Zheng did not explain the secret recipe of the glass in detail.
"The secret recipe for glass is priceless." Lu Dafang said ecstatically.
It costs only a penny and can be sold for thousands of gold. This is simply a huge profit compared to a gold mine.
Zhang Dun frowned and said: "The reason why a single crystal cup is valuable is because it is extremely rare. If sold in large quantities, I am afraid that once the number of crystal cups increases, the price will plummet."
The ecstasy in Lu Dafang's heart suddenly dropped.
"It doesn't matter! As long as the imperial court controls the secret recipe of glass, as well as the quantity and price, it will be enough to maximize the profit of glass." Fan Chunchuan said confidently.
Business in the Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous, and state-owned workshops abounded. Fan Chunchun was naturally sure to make a fortune from glass.
Fan Zheng took the opportunity to request that Gongshu should join the medical team and study optical glass for the doctors.
"allow!"
Zhao Xu was overjoyed and naturally agreed!
"I would like to report to the officials! Although the secret technique of glass is good, it relies on foreign objects after all, and is not the foundation of a strong country. I would like to ask the officials to initiate a new law and implement the green seedling method. If the people are not rich, the country will have enough. This is the way to make the country rich. "
Suddenly, Zhang Dun took the opportunity to propose restarting the method of enriching the country in the new law.
A number of new parties agreed.
