107 Rewards for the Workers
After the Queen Mother finished the porridge, she felt that she felt so comfortable for the first time in more than ten days.
"Hel me up."
The Queen Mother sat up with the help of Queen Liu and Zhuzhu.
"Zong Shu, you are very good! Tell me, what reward do you want?" The Queen Mother was in a happy mood, and the first thing she thought of was to show kindness.
Zong Shu was also sweating just now. If the Queen Mother really passed away, Huizong would definitely put him in prison.
What exactly is a reward? Zong Shu glanced at Huizong, and Huizong's right eyelid couldn't help but twitch.
"Don't look at the emperor, I will decide what you want." The Queen Mother looked at Zong Shu lovingly.
Zong Shu became bold and said: "Queen Mother, I still owe you the reward your Majesty promised. Let's pay off the old debt first."
Huizong was stunned, since when did I owe you?
"Zong Shu, I have given you the same background as a Jinshi. I want you to be the secretary-general, but you don't do it. Why do you think so?"
"Your Majesty, you promised to write me five words about the Great Song Academy of Sciences, but so far you haven't even seen a trace."
Only then did Huizong remember such a thing.
Zong Shu said that he wanted to inscribe "Academy of Science of the Song Dynasty", because the name was rather weird. Huizong forgot it for a while, and thought about asking Zong Shu what the words were, but he has been putting it off until now.
Isn’t it just a matter of writing a few words? What’s the big deal?
Zong Shu even remembers these things so clearly. He is indeed a shrewd man from a businessman family.
In any case, Huizong was in debt to others, so he did not dare to say anything in front of the Queen Mother.
"Ji'er, why don't you settle the old debt quickly?" the Queen Mother immediately ordered.
In front of other people, Huizong was the emperor who said he was the emperor. But in front of the Queen Mother, Huizong was just a child.
Huizong returned to the imperial study in despair, worrying all the way that Zong Shu, this kid, must not do anything wrong.
What if the Empress Dowager agrees to the reward Zong Shu wants but cannot achieve it herself?
I really forgot to remind you just now that rewards must be reasonable and legal.
"Queen Mother, if you have a wound in the future, no matter how small it is, you must use povidone iodine." Zong Shu took out the bottle he had just used to clean the wound of the Queen Mother and said.
When Zong Shu was cleaning the wound just now, he discovered that there was some black-gray powder on the Queen Mother's wound, which should be incense ash.
Incense ash has a hemostatic effect on wounds. If it is high-temperature incense ash, it has a certain bactericidal effect. If it is cold incense ash, it will make the wound more susceptible to tetanus.
Zong Shu explained the use of iodophor, and the Queen Mother listened very carefully.
The old doctor who had just been kneeling on the ground suddenly rushed over, snatched the povidone iodine from Zong Shu's hand, and asked: "Can it be used on all wounds?"
Zong Shu nodded confidently and said: "All wounds, no matter what the cause, as long as you put this on them, you can prevent tetanus. If it is really stained with water and is not disinfected with iodophor in time, penicillin can also solve it."
.”
"With iodine and penicillin, we no longer have to worry about wounds," Zong Shu said.
Lin Lingsu then remembered that when Zong Shu asked him to extract iodine, make iodophor, and extract penicillin, he said at that time that countless people would be killed.
Look now, it really is so.
The old doctor was excited. As a doctor who had been practicing medicine for many years, he basically had no way to deal with diseases such as tetanus.
With the Queen Mother's personal test today, there is no doubt about the role of iodophor and penicillin.
The old doctor bowed deeply to Zong Shu and said, "Young Master Zong is gifted with talents, but I have wasted my life for a long time. I am far behind. I have offended many people just now, so please forgive me."
Judging from the situation just now, the old doctor, Cai Jing, and Zhao Kai are in the same group. This is not a big mistake, but the mistake is that these guys just want to pass the blame.
"Excuse me? If I am unlucky today and penicillin has side effects on the Queen Mother, and an accident occurs, will you put the shit basin on my head?"
Zong Shu refused to accept the old doctor's overtures.
"Your Majesty, in fact, I don't have to do any treatment today. Because this drug has just been trial-produced, there are risks. Anyway, my profession is not a doctor! Once I take action, the risks and responsibilities will be taken on me. However, doctors are benevolent.
When you meet a patient, your heart is not thinking about how to save the person, but how to take the blame! How inhuman!"
Zong Shu said "inhumane" to the old doctor, and at the same time made Zhao Kai roll his eyes in anger.
At this time, Huizong came in and handed the words "Academy of Science of the Song Dynasty" to Zong Shu.
Zong Shu unfolded it and saw that he had a thin golden body!
In fact, the most suitable ones for carving on stones, on door heads, and as signboards are Yan Ti and Liu Ti, while the least suitable ones are Thin Gold Ti.
What Zong Shu wants is not good looks at all, but status. With these few words, he will have the guarantee and confidence to develop Song Dynasty Technology.
From now on, if anyone talks about "strange and obscene skills" to scientific and technical personnel, Zong Shu will take out the "Academy of Science of the Song Dynasty" written by Huizong and beat them!
"Queen Mother, I don't want any reward." Zong Shu said, and Huizong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zong Shu brought the Queen Mother back from the gate of hell, and no reward is too great. But the key problem is that the treasury of the Song Dynasty is now empty, and the fertile land has been basically divided up by officials. If you want money, you will not have money, and if you want land, there will be no land. Huizong felt very guilty.
.
This time, Zong Shu finally understood the court's difficulties.
"Queen Mother, I want to ask for rewards for others." Zong Shu said, "First of all, please allow His Highness the Crown Prince to continue to serve as the governor of Kaifeng."
Just now, Huizong was so angry that he fired Zhao Huan from his position as Kaifeng Prefecture Yin, and replaced him with Zhao Kai, the King of Yun.
Just when Huizong was about to refuse, the Queen Mother said: "I agree, the prince is the governor of Kaifeng."
Zhao Kai was so depressed. He was still complacent about getting the position of governor of Kaifeng. Before he could leave the house, the official hat he just got flew away again.
Empress Liu was convinced that Zong Shu really understood the general situation and took the overall situation into consideration. Instead of asking for rewards for himself, he wanted to get back what he had just lost for the prince.
"Secondly, please give rewards to all workers in the world." Zong Shu then made his second request.
Everyone was stunned again, Zong Shu was going crazy again.
Aren’t all the workers in the world just the people at the lowest level? Are these people rewarded? Is there any mistake?
"Zong Shu, don't push yourself too far. Baigong is a lowly person and is not worthy of royal rewards." Zhao Kai jumped out again.
Zong Shu sneered: "King Yun, I think you have read the book into the dog's belly! The wise create things, the skillful describe them, and the people who keep them are called works. Hundreds of works are all done by saints. Hundreds of works.
, can be as famous as a saint, this is what "Zhou Rites" says."
"Are Baigong a lowly person? You should go back and read "The Rites of Zhou" carefully!"
"The iodophor and penicillin that saved the Queen Mother's life were developed by my apprentice Ling Su and Baigong! Zhao Kai, you are not insulting Baigong, you are insulting the Queen Mother! I feel ashamed of you!"
After Zong Shu scolded Zhao Kai, he turned to the Empress Dowager and said: "Empress Dowager, your Majesty, please reward Baigong. As long as you pass the assessment and become Baigong, you can ride a high horse, sit in a large sedan chair, wear fine clothes, and be exempted from military service."
When Huizong heard this, he thought the condition was good because the court did not have to pay for it.
As long as you have money and can buy horses, of course you can ride them. As for exemption from military service, it is completely possible. The current problem of the Song Dynasty is redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses.
The reward for hundreds of workers that Zong Shu requested has nothing to do with the "three redundancies".
"Zong Shu, I agree to your request." The Queen Mother made the final decision.
Seeing Zong Shu's overjoyed look, everyone was speechless. With such a good opportunity, he actually wanted a reward for all his work. The most important reward was that it didn't matter whether he was eating or drinking!
