Thick leg of lamb, cooked in a cauldron and sprinkled with a large pinch of salt, is a delicacy.
Three and a half-year-old boys, each holding a leg of lamb, squatted in front of a short table only one foot high, and devoured the food.
While Yang Miaoyan ordered the maids to prepare mushroom soup for the three and a half-year-old boys, she sympathetically advised, "Eat slowly, it's not enough, there is more."
Chai Lingwu took a hard bite on the lamb leg. While chewing the lamb, he raised his oily face and gave Yang Miaoyan a bright smile.
"Aunt, it's okay... uh..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he choked and stretched his neck and rolled his eyes, but he refused to spit out the meat in his mouth.
Yang Miaoyan quickly brought a cup of water and handed it over, and patted Chai Lingwu's back carefully.
Chai Lingwu picked up the water, drank it all in one gulp, thanked Yang Miaoyan, and continued to eat the leg of lamb with his head lowered.
Yang Miaoyan looked at Chai Lingwu as if he had never seen meat in eight lifetimes, and cast a resentful glance at Li Yuanji, who was sitting aside with a calm look, flipping through a volume of medical scriptures.
Li Yuanji seemed to feel Yang Miaoyan's gaze, put down the medical scripture and looked at Yang Miaoyan.
"Alang..."
Yang Miaoyan spoke in a quiet tone, obviously she had something to say, but it was inconvenient to say it due to the presence of outsiders.
Li Yuanji understood and said calmly to Chai Lingwu and the others who were chewing on the leg of lamb, "Let's eat somewhere else."
Upon hearing this, Chai Lingwu and the other two men hugged the leg of lamb and prepared to leave without even stumbling.
Yang Miaoyan sighed and said, "Let's talk somewhere else."
After saying that, he got up and walked out.
When he walked to the door, he seemed to remember something. He paused, turned around, told the maids to take care of Chai Lingwu and the others, and walked out again.
Li Yuanji stood up reluctantly, picked up the medical scripture in his hand, and followed Yang Miaoyan outside the house.
Yang Miaoyan found a relatively quiet place. After Li Yuanji arrived and sat down comfortably, he complained: "Alang, are you too harsh on Lingwu and the others?"
Li Yuanji guessed what Yang Miaoyan would say, so his heart didn't change much. He just smiled calmly and said: "Is it harsh? No? It's just that they are not allowed to eat meat."
After a pause, he added with a smile, "And it's only one month, isn't it too harsh?"
Yang Miaoyan slowly sat next to Li Yuanji, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, "They are also considered nobles of the emperor. They grew up in fine clothes and fine food, but now they are restrained by you like beggars. Isn't that not harsh?"
Li Yuanji said frankly: "I am also doing it for their own good."
After all the clan disciples recover from their injuries, they will be sent to the Tongjun Mansion camp under Xue Wanshu for training.
Life inside is far more difficult than it is now.
If they are not allowed to adapt in advance now, they will be worse than dead after arriving at the Tongjunfu camp.
Yang Miaoyan said angrily: "I know Alang is doing it for their own good, but even so, we have to give them some meat. Otherwise, when they see the meat, they will look like beggars. I feel uncomfortable just looking at them, let alone them.
A member of the family."
Just as Li Yuanji was about to talk, Yang Miaoyan said again: "Lingwu is your nephew, and although Chongyi is not your nephew, he is also your cousin.
Others are also related to you.
If you restrain them too harshly, how will they face their elders in the future?
Those aunts, sisters-in-law, brothers, and sisters, if they encounter the right opportunity in the future and say, 'It's my child you abused,' how could you come to Taiwan?"
In Yang Miaoyan's view, they are all relatives, and discipline belongs to them, but they should not be too harsh or severe, otherwise it will be very embarrassing when relatives meet in the future.
If your relatives are teasing you on some special occasions, it's not easy for you to refute.
Li Yuanji pondered and did not speak in a hurry.
Yang Miaoyan has Yang Miaoyan's views, and he also has his own.
He felt that in order to educate these spoiled clan children, one must take heavy measures, otherwise it would not have much effect.
After all, they are no longer three-year-olds, but half-grown boys of thirteen or fourteen. Some of them have even made an engagement and will get married within a year or two.
Therefore, the temperament of a large part of them has already been formed, and most of them are vicious.
If you don't take a heavy hand, you won't be able to change their temper at all.
If you can't change their temperament, then no matter how long they stay in the army or the Tanshan Literary Museum that was later built, they will still be in their old ways after returning home.
Li Yuanji's idea in this regard is very simple, either don't teach, or if you want to teach, you must teach a good person.
Li Yuanji did not require them to make any progress in knowledge, nor did he require them to have the ability to conquer their ancestors. He only hoped that they could be upright and good people.
Rather than becoming a scourge to one party.
The people of this era have been through enough hardships. These guys who were born with golden keys have already been above the people from the moment they were born.
If they go out to cause trouble, they will do more harm to the people than ordinary officials.
If they lose their humanity in the process of constantly causing trouble, it will be a disaster for the people.
Li Yuanji did not want to personally chop off the head of one of them in the near future.
"I have my own concerns about this matter, so you don't have to worry."
Li Yuanji spoke slowly.
Yang Miaoyan saw that Li Yuanji was determined after eating the weight, so she opened her mouth unwillingly, but did not say another word.
Li Yuanji saw Yang Miaoyan's unwillingness, so he briefly told Yang Miaoyan his thoughts and comforted Yang Miaoyan.
After Yang Miaoyan's expression softened a lot, he coaxed Yang Miaoyan to go with the other children to pick up the soft ground in Jiulongtan Mountain.
The soft ground is something that looks like fungus. It can be found everywhere in the mountains and forests after the rain.
There was a light rain last night, and it's not too hot today, so I should be able to pick up some.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In winter, except for the soup supervisor in the palace and the soup palace outside the palace, which can barely supply a few wrinkled vegetables, most of them
At that time, there were no vegetables to eat.
Therefore, some dry foods such as fungus, mushrooms, ground soft food, etc. have become a must-have in winter.
Prince Qi's Mansion has a steward who is responsible for preparing dry goods, so Yang Miaoyan naturally does not need to pick them up.
Li Yuanji simply asked Yang Miaoyan to relax, so as not to sit idle in the monastery all the time and pity those half-grown boys.
…
In the evening, when Yang Miaoyan had not returned from picking up the stuff on the ground, Li Yuanji was sitting alone in the main room of the monastery, reading another volume of medical scriptures.
The medical books were sent by Sun Simiao, and there were more than two thousand volumes.
Sun Simiao said that when he was placed in Guangdefang, people from Taiyuan Hospital would always miss him, so he sent someone to Jiulong Tanshan.
Li Yuanji flipped through several volumes and found that a number of medical books needed to be recompiled, revised, and calibrated to eliminate falsehoods and preserve the truth.
In the several volumes of medical books that Li Yuanji read, he saw a lot of things that should not be left in medical books. He also saw a lot of repeated prescriptions. He also saw that the same herbal medicine had different prescriptions in different medical books.
Records of medicinal properties, as well as records of different medications.
Most of the things that should not be left in medical books are some mysterious things.
For example, ask gods to heal your wounds, burn talismans to cure diseases, etc.
There are also many blessing techniques for building sacrificial temples and communicating with wild gods and ghosts.
Li Yuanji believed that these things should be removed from medical books and compiled into non-medical skills, leaving it to future generations to explore the mysteries of gods and ghosts.
The remaining medical skills should be summarized and sorted out, the false ones retained, the true ones preserved, divided into categories according to different functions, and integrated and edited.
Finally, it was compiled into a set of comprehensive medical books covering various subjects and taking into account both internal and external aspects.
Then, the different expertise of medical students is passed on in different categories.
Break the sectarian views and the characteristics of one line of inheritance, and let it form a relatively complete system.
This is why Chinese medicine in later generations was impacted to the point where it was difficult to gain a foothold.
It is because a complete TCM medical system has not been formed, and all the major doctors are doing their own things. Under the impact of the relatively complete Western medicine medical system, it has become difficult to gain a foothold.
Of course, let’s leave aside the role played by some profit-seeking businessmen in order to make profits.
Since Li Yuanji came up with the hospital model and agreed to work with Sun Simiao to promote the hospital model to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally had to help establish a relatively complete system for traditional Chinese medicine.
Li Yuanji picked up his pen and began to edit Sun Simiao's books.
He briefly talked about some of the shortcomings he saw in the medical books sent by Sun Simiao, as well as some ideas.
After writing the letter, I sent someone to deliver it.
He also ordered the guards guarding the door to give orders to the person who would be the prisoner, asking him to put down the work at hand and focus on building the buildings, conference hall, library, editing room and other buildings needed for the medical department.
Li Yuanji originally did not plan to incorporate the medical department into the Tanshan Library, but considering that Sun Simiao's Xinglu in Chang'an would be built at the foot of Jiulongtan Mountain, he incorporated the medical department into the Tanshan Library.
After explaining clearly to the guards at the door, Qu Tutong appeared in front of the monastery on horseback.
When he arrived at the main room of the jingshe, he said straight to the point: "Your Highness, His Highness the King of Qin agrees to your conditions."
Li Yuanji nodded without much reaction on his face.
Because he had guessed that Li Shimin was determined to get the position in Zuojianmenfu, then Li Shimin would definitely agree to the conditions he proposed.
After asking Qu Tutong to sit down and briefly chatting about business, Qu Tutong said with a look of shame on his face: "I offended His Highness when I was by the pond today. Please forgive me."
Without Qiu He present, Qu Tutong didn't have to be secretive when speaking, he could just say what was on his mind.
Li Yuanji said with emotion: "The past has passed. I said I don't care about it, so I won't care about it."
Having said this, he looked at Qu Tutong specifically and said, "I know your difficulties and understand what you are doing."
