Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 697 Industry
In the medicine garden next to the Avenue Tribe.

Hengwang Zhu Youfeng is playing with a few little princesses under the care of imperial concubine Wu Waner and other concubines. Concubine Su, Zhao Baiyun and others are dancing and communicating with the chiefs here.

Accompanied by Li Shuchu and Li Shuben, Taichang strolled among the medicine fields, listening to the two brothers explain the efficacy of various herbs, and would stop to discuss with them from time to time, seemingly very leisurely.

He seems to have forgotten that he came to the South American continent to deal with the anti-Habsburg alliance army, and he took all the concubines, princes and princesses to the medicine garden all day long.

What is going on here?
Naturally, he would not forget what he was doing to lead the army to the South American continent.

However, there is no rush to clean up the anti-Habsburg alliance army.

At this moment, he didn't even know how many ships they had, how many troops they had, and where they were fighting.

Naturally, he would not lead his army to rush up so hastily.

This battle is not fought like this, it is a big taboo for military strategists to underestimate the enemy.

Besides, he doesn't need to be in a hurry.

Although Luo Sigong didn't find out the specific situation of the enemy, he had a good understanding of the general situation of the Governor-General of Brazil.

The army of the anti-Habsburg alliance is also unable to move an inch in this primitive jungle. It is impossible for them to take down the entire Brazilian Governor-General in a short time.

And if they can't take down the entire Brazilian Governor-General's jurisdiction, they won't be able to spare their hands to frantically loot supplies.

What is he in a hurry for.

At this moment, the key is to win over the Indian tribes here. After all, they are the masters of this jungle. In this jungle, if they can get their help, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover, he can also develop the Ming Dynasty's pharmaceutical industry by the way, so why not do it.

He was walking in the medicine field with brothers Li Shuchu and Li Shuben, when Wang Chong, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, walked over quickly, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the kraft glue is ready."

Cowhide glue can also be regarded as a kind of medicine, which has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, nourishing blood and stopping bleeding.

However, this nourishing blood to stop bleeding refers to internal bleeding, such as pulmonary impotence and hematemesis, bleeding during pregnancy, hematemesis and hemoptysis, etc.

This disease is not very common, so kraft glue is not a big-selling drug.

Brothers Li Shuchu and Li Shuben were a little puzzled when they heard that the emperor ordered people to boil cowhide glue. Could it be that some lady was sick?
Question, the ladies are playing in the medicine garden well, if they are really bleeding, how can they come out to play.

They followed Taichang to the camp tent at Taniguchi, and when they looked at it, they suddenly realized.

It turns out that what the emperor ordered people to boil was glue, not medicine.

This kind of cowhide glue is often used to glue books, so they have used it too.

Question, why did the emperor order people to boil this glue? No one has time to write a book right now.

Taichang didn't explain anything either.

He walked directly to the bucket of boiled glue, picked up a spoon and roughly stirred it, smelled it, then nodded slightly and said, "Wang Chong, get a piece of kraft paper."

Uh, brown paper?
Wang Chong was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, there is no brand new kraft paper here, can the big kraft paper bag that contains herbs work?"

Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, as long as it's not damaged."

This time, everyone was a little baffled.

Why does the emperor seem to be on a par with kraft leather? It's kraft glue and kraft paper.

Taichang actually wanted to make a bag for packing medicine, but this is a bit troublesome to explain, and people can understand it directly after making it.

So, he didn't explain anything.

Although there is no Daming Pharmaceutical Company at the moment, the Daming Western Company still sells some herbal medicines. Some herbal medicines are relatively fragile, so they cannot be packed in cloth bags. There are no plastic bags at the moment, so naturally they can only be packed in kraft paper bags. up.

Soon, Wang Chong came over with a large leather bag several feet square.

Taichang ordered someone to bring over a table, prepared a small knife, and then he did it himself, cutting and folding the big leather bag.

What he made seems to be an envelope, but it is not in the deflated shape of an envelope, but in a rectangular shape when it is stretched out.

Folding this kind of paper bag is really a little complicated, and he probably won't be able to explain it to others for a long time, but once he folds it, everyone will understand it.

After folding, he glued the bottom and the side together with kraft glue, and then gestured: "The front should also be printed with the label of Daming Pharmaceutical Company and the names of the medicines contained in it, and it would be better to have some simple and beautiful patterns, Berke, how about you come?"

Uh, the herbs haven't been planted in large quantities yet, why are you preparing these?

Li Shuchu was stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, is this urgent?"

Taichang couldn't help but sighed slightly: "No way, there is no place for printing here, let alone a factory for making paper. It is estimated that such a product can only be produced in large quantities if it is ordered to be brought back to the mainland of Ming Dynasty. It will take more than half a year to go back and forth. It’s impossible to prepare in advance.”

Li Shuchu thought for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, there seems to be nothing special about this printing factory and paper factory. It seems that it is not difficult to make this kind of kraft paper. Why don't we build a printing factory and a paper factory here?" ?”

There is really nothing special about this printing factory and paper mill, and it can be built here.

However, you can't just recruit some half-baked guys to do it.

Taichang explained in detail: "The packaging is equivalent to the face of the product, the more exquisite it is, the more valuable the things inside will look.

Therefore, we cannot just build a printing factory and a paper factory and forget about it.

This will also require a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry and artisans above the seventh level to be prepared from Daming, and it will definitely take some time.

We can ask them to make a batch of packaging bags and bring them over for trial use. If there is anything that is not suitable, we can improve it, understand? "

This is not a very profound truth, Li Shuchu naturally understands it immediately.

He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Of course, the establishment of a Daming pharmaceutical company is not just a matter of designing a bag for packaging medicine.

The industrialization of a thing is not so simple, and all aspects must be considered carefully.

Perhaps, it is precisely because Huaxia Medicine did not carry out industrialization upgrades in a timely manner that it gave the so-called Western medicine an opportunity, but Western medicine was crushed with similar industrialization.

Of course Taichang knew this well.

Now Daming's industry is the world's leading, and Daming's medicine is also the world's leading. He can use his industrial advantages to assist Daming Medicine and completely defeat the so-called Western medicine.

He thought about it carefully, and then asked, "Berke, have you ever thought about how to promote Daming Medicine around the world?"

This Li Shuchu naturally thought about it. After all, Taichang asked him to be in charge of the Daming Pharmaceutical company, to promote Daming Medicine to the world, and make Daming Medicine the orthodoxy of the world's medicine.

He nodded quickly and said: "Your Majesty, this minister has been thinking about it for a few days. I think that the key is to have someone to promote it. Moreover, people are also needed to see a doctor. I plan to establish a medical institution in the manner of the College of Arts and Sciences. Academy, compiling tutorials, cultivating relevant talents, and then let them open the branches of Daming Pharmaceutical Company all over the world."

Uh, doing this seems to be a reformation of the past with reference to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, but it is still a bit conservative in essence, or in other words, the extent of reformation is not large enough.

Moreover, it will take a lot of manpower, material resources and a lot of time to train a large number of medical talents and let them spread the semicolon of Daming Medicine all over the world, and the effect is not necessarily good.

How about this?

Taichang thought about it carefully, then nodded slightly and said: "Well, we need to cultivate talents in medicine, this time, we can let Daming native send a batch of them to study with you.

However, cultivating talents to spread the semicolon of Daming Medicine all over the world is not the only option for promotion. We can also vigorously promote it in other ways. "

Is there any other way?
Doesn't it mean that there should be no doctors for people to see and treat diseases? If there are no doctors, how can it be promoted?

When Li Shu heard the words, he pondered for a while, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, my humble minister is dull, I really can't think of any other way, please teach me."
