The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 850
Navigation matters for generations to come, and it is even more related to the safety of the [-] soldiers and crew who are about to go to sea. However, for Yang Tong, the emperor, it is only one of many major events. In terms of various nautical supplies, give them the best.

Arranged well, and devoted himself to the intense and orderly busyness. Every day, he met with the prefects from all over the country who came to report on their work, learned about the situation of each county, listened to their plans for the coming year, and repeatedly deliberated with the important officials of the court. The construction plan and plan that came up, and also asked about the snow conditions in various places in the north every day. In the past, many people in Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Liaodong and other places in the cold winter every year would freeze to death. In recent years, there have been some improvements in the popularity of .

In addition, with the coal mines in Zhangye, Lingwu, Yanmen and other places being mined by more than [-] slaves all the year round, long before the rivers froze, they were continuously transported to Yongliangyouhe and other places through waterways, and made of earthen kang. The method has been popularized among the people, so although this winter is cold, there is no large-scale freezing to death. In the past, every time there was heavy snow, the situation of starvation everywhere and corpses lying everywhere has disappeared for several years. within the normal range of acceptance.

Because of this, Yang Tong, who popularized cotton planting and soil kang technology among the people, has steadily increased his reputation in the northern land, and his cohesion and dominance have risen to unprecedented heights.

The people are so down-to-earth, as long as you can let everyone live a good life, everyone will support you. Although the name Yang Tong still has mixed reviews in southern scholars not long after the recovery, but in Jizhou, Youzhou, Liaodong, Bingzhou, Yongzhou, In Liangzhou, the northern lands that have been ruled for a long time, the voices against him have long since disappeared. If someone dares to abuse Yang Tong in these places, then don't blame the people for beating you up, and don't blame the local officials for not caring.

More importantly, with the restoration of stability in the north and the prosperity under Yang Yu's governance, Yongliang people who fled to Yizhou due to the war began to return, and brought back many Yizhou people who were afraid of the torment of the war. In the short period of time when Li Yuan fled back to Chengdu, more than 2 households in Yizhou did not have confidence in the puppet Tang Dynasty and fled to the Hanzhong area one after another. Going to Jiangyuan and Heyuan to settle down. For these refugees, having a place to stand on is already very grateful. As for where to settle down, they don’t really care. What’s more, the imperial court promised them to reduce taxes for three years. This is extraordinarily merciful.

According to Yang You's estimation, as long as Li Yuan and his son don't stop them, more people from Yizhou will go north in the future.In addition to the re-opening of the Silk Road, Hu merchants traveling between the Sui Dynasty and the Western Regions also drove many refugees from the Western Regions to migrate to the Sui Dynasty and become the people of the Sui Dynasty. As long as Yongliang continues to be stable like this, the prosperity of Yongliang is unstoppable.

People now have fields and land, and because of the promotion of Quyuan plow and drum car, as long as they work hard, food and clothing will not be a problem, and with the smooth development of the Silk Road, it has driven the development of the local economy and made the people surplus year after year. , the days are getting better and better, and I can usually ask the neighbors to repair the houses, so although the snow is heavy, there are very few houses that collapse, and there are even fewer homeless people.Furthermore, the foundation was well established, and the officials appointed by the imperial court were practical officials. When the heavy snowfall came, officials and servants from all over the country were dispatched one after another to help repair and strengthen the houses, and provide shelter and food for the affected people.

The common people support their foreheads and celebrate. How lucky are there to be such pragmatic officials in this prosperous age ruled by the Ming emperor?
The days are good, and the people in Guanzhong happily come to Daxing City with mountain goods. After selling out, they first go to the clothes store to buy a new clothes for the children, then go to the pen store to buy some pens, ink and paper for the children, and then go to the cloth store to pull a few feet. Cloth, go to the meat shop to cut some meat...

On the contrary, those literati and poets who were bored took advantage of the heavy snow to form groups out of the city, or went to Zhongnan Temple and Huashan Taoist temple to chant plum snow; The publication made the Guanzhong Forum extremely active in this cold winter.

It's just that at this time, someone always brings out Yang Guang's and Yang Tong's poems and articles to appreciate, which often makes those literati who have written excellent works full of depression.

This is simply hopeless compared to...

The articles and poems of Yang Guang and Yang Tong, the grandparents and grandchildren, are top-notch without being flattered by others, especially Yang Tong is even better. If you don’t write, you can forget about it. But if there are poems and articles that come out, they must be classics handed down from generation to generation, and they are even more unbearable It doesn't matter if he writes well, but he also has rich genres and poetic styles.

It is a blessing for literati to live in the same era as Yang Tong, because they were born in the era when countless masterpieces were born; it is also the greatest misfortune for literati, because when everyone is still exploring at the foot of the mountain, nostalgic poems, poems about objects, and frontier poems , Farewell Poems, Travel Poems, Love Poems, Landscape and Pastoral Poems and all kinds of images are all written by him to an unattainable peak; even the poems about wives are harmed by him. Whose boudoir poems won the "Resentment" ?
Yang Tong didn't know the sense of despair of the Sui literati, and he didn't care if he knew it. It was just an occasional joke or a game to coax his wife.It is his main business to let the people of the Sui Dynasty live a good life, to be cured when they are sick, and to have books to read.

At this time, he took time out of his busy schedule to meet Sun Simiao, a genius doctor, in Ganlu Hall.

After the meeting, Sun Simiao presented a stack of thick paper to Yang Tong.

"What is this?"

Sun Simiao was born in the seventh year of Datong in the Western Wei Dynasty, and he lived in troubled times for most of his life. Because he had seen swords, swords, and blood, he no longer cared about trivial matters in the world.He believes that it is an unparalleled achievement to use limited energy to develop one more medicine, identify one more prescription, and pull one more patient back from the hands of Lord Yama.The true meaning of life is the prescriptions that can save lives and heal the wounded. The desire for power and utilitarianism has faded for decades. He spends all his time traveling around the world, observing all kinds of intractable diseases. Yang Tong has known him for so many years, but this is the first time he sees him going to school, and he feels a little strange.

"My lord, these are all kinds of prescriptions that I have collected in my humble life. There are prescriptions for regulating qi and blood, and there are also secret prescriptions for treating typhoid fever. Some prescriptions are obtained from ancient books. Additions, deletions and revisions based on medical practice experience.”

"Oh?" Yang Tong hurriedly lowered his head to look, and on the first piece of paper were written neatly and elegantly ""Prescriptions for Emergencies"'.

""Preparation for a Thousand Gold Prescriptions"?"

Seeing these words, Yang Tong's heart beat faster. Could this be the famous "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" that has been famous for thousands of years?
"Exactly." Sun Simiao bowed slightly, and said: "Although the Holy Majesty has not studied artisan medicine, he is proficient in medical principles, which is much better than many quack doctors in the world. The humble official was deeply inspired by the Holy Majesty, and divided the "Emergency Prescriptions" into internal, Clinical subjects such as surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics are divided into 230. The above content not only involves detoxification, first aid, health preservation, diet therapy, but also acupuncture, massage, guidance, and breathing. Combined prescriptions, theory, and methods 560 For the first time, the content involves various aspects such as herbal medicine, women, typhoid fever, children, nourishment, tonic, stroke, miscellaneous diseases, sores, color veins, acupuncture and moxibustion, etc., especially for typhoid, stroke, miscellaneous diseases and sores. Among the 140 nine kinds of medicines contained in the book, [-] kinds of medicines introduce the relevant knowledge about the collection and processing of medicines in detail.

"That's great!" Yang Tong was overjoyed, and flipped through each sheet carefully. At the beginning of each sheet, there was written treatment for some kind of disease, such as: wind-cold, heatstroke, acclimatization, etc. As for the content, he could only read characters, and wrote these three words. Qian and Na Siliang's eyes were darkened, and they couldn't understand anything, and they didn't even know what the medicinal materials looked like, but how could Sun Simiao's "Prescriptions for Emergencies" be bad?He smiled and said: "Each prescription is worth thousands of gold, this name is a good one."

"Your Majesty misunderstood, the meaning of 'qianjin' in "Preparation for Emergencies and Essential Prescriptions" is not what it means." Sun Simiao corrected: "Since the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, the Central Plains has been in constant wars, which has caused the loss of life and the decline of all industries, and has also caused the collapse of medical centers all over the world. Your Majesty Although the edict ordered the establishment of medical centers in all counties and counties, the long-standing disadvantages of medical skills are hard to recover. There are no famous doctors in many county and county medical centers, and they cannot truly benefit the people. Moreover, the world has been in turmoil for many years, and the prescriptions and herbal medicine departments are numerous and rushed. It is not easy to seek medical examinations, and most doctors are helpless in the face of various diseases, resulting in countless lives that could have been saved in vain. I have a sense of humility, so after I have learned a lot, I have been collecting a lot of classics, cutting out the complex, And combined with personal experience to compile this book. If this book can be spread throughout the counties and counties of the Sui Dynasty, the common people can calmly search and prescribe the right medicine when they face diseases. Humble officials believe that human life is the most important thing, and there is precious money. More than this, so it is named 'Qianjin'."

Yang Tong sighed in admiration.

But all great men who are famous through the ages must be those who have reached the pinnacle of a certain field, and Sun Simiao was honored as the "King of Medicine" by later generations with this "Thousand Gold Prescriptions" that cost him his whole life, which established his ancient history in medicine. Shuo Jin's position.However, his starting point for writing this book is simply "when people face diseases, they can search and prescribe the right medicine calmly." The simpler and purer the purpose, the more immortal greatness will often be created.

Yang Tong already understood Sun Simiao's reason for coming, he put the manuscript as precious as Mount Tai on the table, and said with emotion: "The genius doctor has the heart to help the world, how can I cherish my secret skills? I will definitely hand it over to the publishing house and send it to the printing press." Publish the world and benefit the world."

"Once "Preparation for Emergency Prescriptions" is published in the world, not only the people of the Sui Dynasty will benefit, but this medical book will surely be spread all over the world, and everyone in Huadi can benefit from it." Sun Simiao's original intention was to ask Yang Tong to publish this book, and only Yang Tong, who is the emperor, has the financial resources and power to make this book published in the world, but Yang Tong promised so readily, but it made Sun Simiao full of doubts...just because he knew that Yang Tong was very interested in engineering, military, and agricultural books. Classics such as medical books and medical books are extremely important, especially the forging techniques of smelting and weapons and armor are closely monitored.

Yang Tong said: "A man can do something and not do something. I can't just leave millions of barbarians without prescriptions and tens of millions of people suffering from diseases."

"The Holy One is merciful." Sun Simiao suddenly admired.

"The genius doctor is polite." Yang Tong can't help but laugh. He has killed countless people in the past few years. Millions of people have died under his orders. The sage of medicine who puts life first and doesn't even want to use animals as medicine says he is kind. , which is a bit embarrassing.

In fact, besides not wanting to lose the big because of small things, there are two other reasons why he is willing to publish the world. One is that Sinology is too profound. They will also be confused, and even if they translate it hard, there will be no words to pass on to future generations.The second is that there are too few countries as large and rich as the Sui Dynasty. Even if they get this book, they may not have all the medicinal materials that are completely consistent with the prescription.

Sun Simiao said to Yang Tong: "Your Majesty, I have heard that Sinong Temple, Taipu Temple, and Ministry of Civil Affairs compiled the "Nong Dian" on the basis of "Qi Min Yao Shu" to print; There is also the "Great Sui Law Code" to be printed; there is also the "Dictionary" of His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty to be printed; Kong Shangshu of the Faculty of Science has also compiled "Four Books and Five Classics Justice" in conjunction with the world's famous Confucians. Printing, if you add this "Emergency Preparation" and the "Da Sui Ban Yue Tan" twice a month, then there will be a lot of books to be printed next year...will it cause a heavy burden on the national treasury?"

"Agricultural Code" teaches farming time, "Da Sui Law Code" teaches people to obey the law, "Dictionary" enlightens the world's children, "Four Books and Five Classics" is cited as a classic for scholars, "Emergency Prescriptions" saves lives and heals the wounded, the sooner it is printed, the better The key is that these five books are of extraordinary significance and far-reaching influence, which means that the imperial court cannot issue them at a high price, otherwise the world's reputation will be extremely unfavorable to Yang Tong and the imperial court.

Yang Tong said with a smile: "The genius doctor can rest assured, even if a thousand books are printed every year, the imperial court can afford it."

"However, if the Five Books are published in the world, it will cost countless manpower and financial resources. After all, the Holy One is the Lord of the world. Not only will the Sui and Tang Dynasties be fought next year, but also a huge amount of money and food will be left to prepare for floods and droughts in the four directions. Change; there is no small matter in the country, and all thoughts and considerations must be taken into account. How can we lose sight of the other? The book "Emergency Prescriptions for Emergencies" is not over. It’s okay to wait a few years.”

Once "Prescriptions for Emergencies and Prescriptions for Emergencies" is published, Sun Simiao will immediately become the king of medicines and the sacred medicine.Yang Tong admired Sun Simiao's character more and more, and smiled gratefully: "I have invented high-quality and cheap papermaking in the Sui Dynasty, which is why paper books and paper are cheap. The genius doctor can rest assured."

"I know this humble job. However, the manpower and material resources required to carve the board are still not small. A carved board will be scrapped after only a few hundred times, and our Great Sui has a vast area. If we want to distribute it to the world and benefit the whole world, every This book requires tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of copies. What an astonishing number? Although the Great Sui Dynasty has been governed in recent years, the puppet Tang You is here, and there will be wars to be fought next year. Before the world is unified, the humble official believes that such a big event should not be hasty !"

"Look at the genius doctor!" Yang Tong took out three seals, stamped them with ink pads, printed them once on a piece of paper, then messed up the seals, printed them twice, and handed the paper to Sun Simiao, "This It is our current printing technology. Although the production of movable type was a huge project before, these metal movable type are not only convenient for printing books, but also can be recycled for at least ten years.

Sun Simiao was stunned, "So that's the case, I can rest assured that I am humble."

"If a genius doctor has a prescription to supplement, just give it to me, and it will be printed once a year in the future, and it will also save the people from suffering from several or dozens of diseases."

"Here."

"When it was printed, it was named "Thousand Golden Prescriptions", what did the genius doctor think?"

"No objection to a humble position."
