Pei Xuanji felt extremely lucky that there was such a Zuo Cheng in the Tang Dynasty.
Another half month later, the epidemic situation in Fenyang County finally gave people a sigh of relief, and quarantine was implemented from the beginning of the spread.
So far, more and more villagers have recovered.
Lu Zhaolin and others left first, while the remaining Lishan doctors were still doing the finishing touches.
An old man from Lishan said: "There are still three people waiting for recovery, and the isolation will be lifted in less than three days."
Pei Xuanji hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, old man, for coming to help."
"It's not worth mentioning. This is what doctors should do."
"I don't know what to call the old man."
The other party stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I, Cui Zhiti, have always been good at the Qihuang technique. Recently, I have been studying acupuncture more."
He then introduced: "This person also came out of Lishan with me."
The old man standing next to Cui Zhiti also stroked his beard and smiled: "I, Zhen Quan, are good at caring for children. When I was young, my mother was seriously ill. At that time, I took my younger brother to study medicine together, and took my sick mother to treat her illness. Unknown to me,
He also became a healer."
"Thank you very much!"
Pei Xuanji led a group of villagers to salute these doctors.
Zhen Quan struggled and said: "This disease looks like dysentery but is not dysentery. The disease is cunning and I almost used the wrong medicine."
Cui Zhiti stroked his beard and said, "It was the Marquis of Lishan County who woke us up. Fortunately, we got through it."
After the last few people in Fenyang County have recovered, there are still many people who may have suffered from the disease.
Doctors at Lishan must follow medical advice when practicing medicine, and make arrangements for future life and rest adjustments, as well as diet and environmental management.
The county magistrate here was also infected. Fortunately, he recovered in time. Cui Zhidi said to him: "Remember not to drink raw water in the future. Children who drink boiled water will be stronger."
"Your Majesty, please keep this in mind."
Only then did the doctors leave.
The epidemic in Shaanxi passed without any danger, and Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Lu Zhaolin's report.
Lu Zhaolin added: "Your Majesty, Lishan's lifestyle and drinking habits can reduce the occurrence of many diseases in the Central Plains."
"As a doctor, I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue an edict for the sake of the country and all the people. I ask all parts of the Central Plains to follow suit."
Li Shimin smiled in astonishment. Zhang Yang's method was indeed right. He said in a low voice: "I will issue an order immediately. For the sake of all the people, I will not dare to refuse."
"I would like to express my congratulations to the Tang Dynasty."
The emperor issued two decrees. In the first decree, the state capitals and counties set up civil petitions. Citizens in each county could express their opinions and report any inappropriate issues in the governance of each county. It was directly connected to Chang'an City without going through the state capital.
As soon as this decree came out, there was endless discussion in both the government and the public.
The second edict is that since the Zhenguan period, there have been epidemics in various places in the Central Plains. There have been people who cooked meat and ate it for the sake of the people. I ask all people in the world to drink boiled water and not to drink raw water. The state government will supervise this, and all townships and counties will do it.
Implementation.
As soon as the decree came out, there was a lot of discussion between the government and the public, and they were very puzzled by His Majesty's two decrees.
Especially the first decree allows villagers to report inappropriate governance of the state capital, and even bypass the state capital and go directly to Chang'an City.
This is undoubtedly a knife hanging over the heads of state governments everywhere.
At the residence of Duke Zhao, Tang Shanshi and Chu Suiliang were still discussing.
Changsun Wuji understood His Majesty's thoughts. If you drink boiled water, you can reduce the epidemic. This is undoubtedly a very low-cost management strategy.
But why the water needs to be boiled before it can be drunk, only Lishan knows.
Changsun Wuji drank tea, but after thinking about it carefully, after getting used to drinking tea, abdominal pain rarely happened.
Listening to the discussions of the juniors in front of him, His Majesty allowed the villagers in each county to independently report the inappropriate governance of each county.
In the future, it will be more difficult to be an official in the Tang Dynasty. Even if you are just a small county magistrate, you must always be careful and cautious.
Li Shen can go to see Brother Jin Wang again. He is very happy. He should be able to read Lishan's books again.
Seeing that there was no one in the Chongde Hall, Li Shen, who was still quite short, stood outside the hall for a long time. He didn't see Brother Jin Wang come back, and Gongsun Xiaoniang was not there either.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked into the Chongde Hall. There were many more books on the emperor's bookshelf, and he picked up one of the volumes, titled Science and Humanities.
When you open the content of the book, you will see a sentence: Humanities and art have been innate to human beings since ancient times. Humanities, like science, should develop towards the positive side of human nature and inspire human nature...
It was like someone was speaking in my ear, and these knowledge echoed over and over in my mind. The more I read it, the more shocked I felt.
"Always maintain dialectical thinking and force yourself to think."
"Our current knowledge can be roughly divided into literature, history, philosophy and even aesthetics..."
As I continued reading, I felt a little unfamiliar again, and I didn’t understand many words and sentences.
Li Shen read carefully, becoming more and more focused, and didn't even notice the person coming in front of him.
It wasn't until the sun set to the west and the window sill blocked most of the sunlight that Li Shen moved the scroll to the sunlight and noticed a figure standing in front of him.
He quickly stood up and said: "Brother Emperor."
Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so restrained. I told you that you can read all the books here."
"My younger brother took the liberty to walk into the palace and read Brother Wang's books."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just that reading this volume is very unfamiliar with your current understanding of Lishan knowledge."
He picked up another volume from the bookshelf and handed it over, "It will be more appropriate to read it in conjunction with this volume."
Seeing that Brother Wang did not blame himself, Li Shen was even more happy. Lishan's knowledge was very interesting and not as boring as those classics.
Li Zhi added: "This knowledge will never be hidden from outsiders. Lishan will take out this knowledge in volumes, so that everyone can read it and learn it."
"Brother Wang, I heard that the monster in Lishan can move."
Li Zhi sorted out the debris in the hall and said: "You are talking about the train, right? The current railway is too short, and it takes too much time to go back and forth, which is not enough for fun."
Li Shen actually wanted to take the train, but since he could already read in Chongde Hall, he couldn't invite Brother Wang anymore, so he lowered his head and swallowed his thoughts.
Li Zhi sat down at another table and began to write about the recent events in the palace, what the prince was doing today, and what the status of his father was.
After writing these, ask Miss Gongsun to give the letter to the braised pork seller in Chang'an City, and they will send the letter to Lishan.
Today, Pei Xingjian asked someone to make a gold chain with his own gold, and walked into a house with a smile. In this house were Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, and Yuan Gongyu.
Brother Xue and Mrs. Liu have gone through a lot of hardships and ups and downs to get to where they are today.
Now Brother Xue has a child, named Xue Ne.
Pei Xingjian presented the gold chain and said, "Brother Xue, this is for the child."
After the First World War in Persia, Xue Rengui also knew that Pei Xingjian had a lot of gold, so he declined: "This is too valuable. A certain family can support a family with the military salary."
Pei Xingjian said again: "Brother Xue, this is for the child."
Xue Rengui looked at the length of the gold chain, frowned and said, "This is just right for a certain family, but it would be too generous for a child."
Pei Xingjian smiled helplessly, "The craftsman who forged the gold chain was ignorant and has been taught a lesson."
Recalling that they had played together when they were young, and later lived together in Persia in the Western Regions, Xue Rengui knew that it would be bad if he refused, so he had no choice but to accept.
Not long after, Wang Xuance also came, bringing with him a large leg of lamb. "Brother Xue, please don't despise a certain family because they are poor."
Xue Rengui cupped his hands and said: "A certain family likes mutton, thank you."
"Hahaha!" Pei Xingjian laughed, looked at the guests present and said loudly: "It seems that all the traitorous officials in this dynasty are here."
Hearing this, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu laughed even more happily. The court said that the three of them were traitors, and Pei Xingjian was right.
Xu Jingzong even readily accepted that traitors could serve the country as well.
Only Yuan Gongyu still couldn't adapt to the mentality of Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu.
If it were me, it would definitely be uncomfortable to be called a traitor.
I somewhat regret having bowed to the etiquette department.
It is a very pleasant thing to watch Lishan build a house. Lishan Association will sort and place various materials, and they will use ropes to build scaffolding.
All civilians wear a strange wooden hat, which Lishan calls a safety helmet.
And the place under construction is called a construction site, and you must wear this kind of safety helmet when entering the construction site.
Lishan divided the civilian workers into several teams, each of whom performed their own duties. Yan Liben was the general leader of the construction, and he was responsible for presiding over every aspect of the fortifications.
Fang Xuanling often comes here to see the completion of this technical courtyard, "May I ask His Highness the King of Wei, can it be completed next summer?"
Li Tai replied: "The overall construction will be completed in the spring, and the capping will be completed before the rainy season. What the progress will be after that can only depend on how long the rainy season in Guanzhong is."
Fang Xuanling put his hands behind his back and said: "Two thousand acres of land is a city. I have seen the map Lishan handed to the court, but I did not see the city wall."
"Actually, my brother-in-law is opposed to enclosing these two thousand acres. Firstly, it is inconvenient to enter and exit. Secondly, there will be many entrances and exits here. Only part of the fence exists. Except for the living area, there are no fences elsewhere."
"Aren't you afraid that some idlers will enter?"
"Lishan didn't consider this. My brother-in-law doesn't like to build high walls. Just like the city wall in Chang'an City, it may be useful during wars, but with the development of Guanzhong, the city wall will only become more and more burdensome. What does Fang Xiang think?"
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said nothing, still thinking.
Li Tai explained: "When this place is completed, you will understand that the city wall is actually unnecessary."
When the severe cold receded from Guanzhong, it was already March.
There are still many problems in the firing of tungsten ore.
Zhang Yang connected a cotton-thick tungsten wire to the electric wire. As the generator rotated, the tungsten wire seemed to heat up and turn red.
Without enough light, the incense burned out in half a stick.
The burning of tungsten wire seems to be an inevitable process.
Zhang Yang recorded the results of the experiment, "It's still too thick. Maybe it really needs to be in a vacuum lampshade?"
Holding the pen in his hand and scratching his head, the noise of the steam engine stopped as the machine stopped.
Lishan's manufacturing technology is still not mature enough, and tungsten wire is more difficult to use than he expected.
Zhang Yang said: "Can it be more detailed?"
Master Jiang looked solemn and said, "It's difficult, you can try it."
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and shook his head helplessly.
It is difficult to cast tungsten ore. From the black smoke coming out of the tungsten wire, it can be seen that there are still many impurities inside.
This is due to insufficient combustion during casting.
Master Jiang took out some blades and said, "These are blades cast from tungsten ore. The county prince said he needed them before, so the old man cast them. I don't know if they can be used."
The blade made from tungsten ore was full of pits. Zhang Yang was discouraged and said: "I'll give it a try."
First, place an iron pipe at the other end of the lathe, push the blade in, start the lathe, and you can clearly hear the cutting sound inside the iron pipe.
Then there was another sound of metal breaking, and the blade inside broke.
"The blade is easy to break, or there are too many impurities during casting." Zhang Yang took out the broken blade, "Let's try adding graphite next time."
"graphite?"
"Since borax doesn't work, let's try using graphite. Maybe it can react with more impurities."
Zhang Yang walked out of the workshop while writing in his notebook.
In the spring and April of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, the commercial taxes collected by the central government from various counties this year amounted to more than 6,000 yuan. Eight of the twelve counties in Chang'an City were engaged in production under the auspices of Lishan. After producing goods
When making transactions, taxes must be paid.
This is only a tax on the production of workshops in these eight counties, and it is additional to the original tax.
If Lishan continues to expand its industry, the tax revenue that the DPRK and China will receive will be even greater. Now the 24 counties of Zuofu under the jurisdiction of Li Daozong are also preparing to receive even more tax revenue once production is put into operation.
Taking the production in Guanzhong into his own hands gave the emperor enough sweetness.
It was under this model that the imperial court received 6,000 guan in taxes from these eight counties, and business in Chang'an City inexplicably flourished.
Some people even made suggestions to the court, admonishing Your Majesty not to vigorously encourage the rise of workshops, but to dismantle the workshops and let the villagers return to farming and continue working in the fields three years ago.
To oppose Lishan was to oppose Xu Jingzong. After the memorial was sent to the court, Li Yifu led his men to beat up the official who came to remonstrate.
Li Shimin sighed and said: "Assistant officer, this Li Yifu is too ignorant. I will fine him a salary, and he will be fined for three years. He will not be able to hit anyone again."
Changsun Wuji bowed and saluted, "Li Yifu will definitely shed tears of gratitude to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise."
Li Shimin half-heartedly issued a decree, asking all counties to not only seize the output of workshops, but also do a good job in mulberry farming.
Whether it is farming or producing in workshops, the emperor's attitude is very clear, he must grasp it with both hands, and he must do it all.
The first teaching building of Zhenguan Institute of Technology has been capped. Students can attend classes in the teaching building under construction or stay temporarily.
This is just one of them, and many more buildings like this will be built in the future.
The building is five stories high, with four classrooms on each floor that can accommodate a thousand students, but Lishan will recruit more students in the future.
Zhang Xin'an felt very distressed every time she saw her copper coins being pulled out.
Zhang Qingqing looked at his brother's hopeless look and said, "It's just some copper coins. Our Lishan's wealth is far greater than these copper coins."
Zhang Xin'an whispered: "Sister, this is money."
"Every money my parents spend now can be earned back."
"Then when can we earn it back?" Zhang Xin'an looked at the warehouse. There was only a small copper mountain left in the warehouse. He continued: "And the family still has to pay taxes! Sister, go and blow up Chang'an City.
