Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 97

For Li Jiancheng, the biggest threat to Li Shimin is still because of his military exploits.Due to formal needs, Li Jiancheng could not leave Chang'an easily.King Qin, on the other hand, could lead his army out without any ties.

Now Li Jiancheng finally took advantage of Wagang Li Mi and Jiangnan Du Fuwei's desire to join and form an alliance, which attracted the main attention of the court and asked Chen Ying to lead his army to support Lingzhou.Li Jiancheng is fully responsible for Chen Ying's success.

If Chen Ying can successfully rescue Lingzhou, it will also allow Li Yuan to reduce his dependence on Li Shimin. Li Jiancheng is naturally unwilling to make any mistakes in Chen Ying.Chen Ying needed armor, and Li Jiancheng took advantage of his position to over-satisfy Chen Ying's needs. Chen Ying needed craftsmen, and Li Jiancheng satisfied Chen Ying without hesitation.

Li Yuan agreed to support Lingzhou in this season, in fact, because Chen Ying invented the down quilt, because the appearance of the down quilt can greatly reduce non-combat losses.But now the down quilts in Chang'an City are sold out by aristocratic families, which means that Chen Ying cannot complete the task smoothly.

Li Jiancheng doesn't think so when it comes to the huge profits of down quilts.Although down has good warmth retention properties, it is not as expensive as the best fur. True aristocrats still disdain to use it, but the high cost is not affordable by ordinary people.Chang'an's frenzied purchase of down is most likely instigated by Li Shimin behind the scenes.

Their real intention of rushing to buy down was not to make a profit, but to drag Chen Ying's back, and also to intensify the conflict between Li Jiancheng and the power of Chang'an Xungui.

Chen Ying is not a child of a powerful family, so naturally he doesn't understand the real horror of a powerful family.Aristocratic families have been married for generations, you are in me, and I am in you. The roots are intertwined and the relationship is intricate. The so-called killing chickens to warn monkeys is out of the question.As long as Li Jiancheng dares to raise the knife, the current situation will inevitably become a mess. No matter who is at fault, Li Jiancheng will be held accountable.

It is not in Li Jiancheng's character to give up and admit defeat.Li Jiancheng asked Zheng Guanyin to wrap a down quilt, and personally took it to the residence of Li Gang, Minister of Rites and Prince Zhan Shi.

Li Gang's concierge was named Li Nianbo, who was about forty years old. There is a saying that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.After listening and studying with Li Gang for more than ten years, even though Li Nianbo is only Li Gang's concierge, he is a very learned person, and he is especially good at classics and righteous articles.

Seeing Li Jiancheng, Li Nianbo hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, "My humble respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"At the end of the year, I entered Li Jiancheng, and asked to see my predecessor, Mr. Wenji..." Li Jiancheng respectfully saluted and registered outside the closed gate of Li Gang's mansion.

However, Li Jiancheng's address to Li Gang shocked Li Nianbo.It doesn't matter if you call your predecessors Mr., how can this teacher be called casually?For thousands of years, only Confucius and Yan Zi were qualified to be called the first teachers. Now Li Jiancheng calls Li Gang the first teacher. As a senior person who has devoted his whole life to Confucianism, Li Nianbo finds it unacceptable.

However, Li Jiancheng obviously didn't have the burden of thinking in this regard. He stood outside the door respectfully, as if a devout disciple was visiting a Confucian master.

Li Nianbo shook his head, returned to the inner courtyard to meet Li Gang, and conveyed Li Jiancheng's words to Li Gang's ears verbatim.Li Gang sighed long and long: "Being courteous to others, one must ask for something. It seems that His Royal Highness is in quite some trouble!"

Li Gang was a famous official at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He once served as the master of three princes in the Sui and Tang dynasties.Even though Li Jiancheng is a prince, in front of Li Gang, he is still a student.

Li Jiancheng saluted Li Gang respectfully and reverently: "The last student is a late student, and I pay my respects to Mr. Wenji, my senior teacher!"

"The first teacher can't afford it!" Li Gang said: "It seems that the plan is not small to make His Royal Highness condescend!"

Li Jiancheng didn't blush, but he said with anger: "Mr. Wen Ji understands the general theory, and masters the classics and history. If Mr. Cheng Ji deserves the title of not being a teacher, who in this world deserves it!"

There is a saying that everyone carries the sedan chair. Although Li Gang is not good at wealth, he loves fame.Li Gang raised his face and said: "Your Highness, don't do this, you want to make people laugh!"

However, Li Gang's eyebrows and eyes could hardly conceal his excitement and joy.

Li Jiancheng smiled and understood clearly.So he told Li Gang about the fact that the Chang'an aristocratic clan robbed the feathers for personal gain.

After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Li Gang jumped up against the case: "You should be killed, you really should be killed. The Tang Dynasty is now a time of trouble, and the gentry are all responsible for the stability and stability of the country. They actually sit and watch the soldiers in the army suffer from cold and hunger for personal gain. This old man is duty-bound!"

Although Li Gang is only a Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, Li Gang's reputation is very good, even Kong Yingda's reputation is not as high as Li Gang's.In the court, Li Gang represents Qingliu, and this group of Qingliu doesn't care what kind of family or family background you are, if you catch them, you will be impeached to death.

Li Jiancheng invited Li Gang out, but it was clear that there would be a lot of excitement in the court.

The Tang army also used medical officers, but the number was very small. About 1 people in each army were equipped with one military medical officer. Generals who paid attention to medical treatment in the military camp might also add two military medical officers to assist them.It is barely enough to treat a headache, foot pain and training injury at ordinary times. When there are a large number of casualties in wartime, this manpower is not enough at all.

In fierce battles, there are always a small number of people who die on the spot, and most of them die from blood loss or infection after injury, resulting in a large number of attrition.There are many factors that affect the morale of soldiers. The wounded cannot receive timely and effective medical treatment, even if it is not the most important, it cannot be ignored.

Of course, the profession of doctor has high requirements for practitioners, and the training time is long. Those who are able to train their children to read and write for a long time are keen on fame. Although the profession of doctor is also respected, it is not classified as a gentry after all. This also caused the scarcity of doctors in the world.

After Chen Ying returned to the mansion, he recruited Chen Huairen.Chen Huairen was originally a doctor of traumatic injuries, and he learned the skills of treating trauma from Chen Ying during the battle of Jingyang, but now it is not Chen Huairen's turn to take action for the wounded in the Tang army.In order to make a living, Chen Huairen had to open a small medicine shop in Chang'an City.

Chen Ying looked at Chen Huairen and asked, "Huairen, you haven't asked me recently, how is your pharmacy doing?"

"Don't get it!" Chen Huairen said with a gloomy face: "Since the beginning of winter, the number of typhoid fever patients has increased greatly, but rich people don't look down on me at all, and those who can look up to me are poor ghosts. Although they are not less busy, they are not. What kind of oil and water, not to mention making money, also posted a lot of money for medicine!"

"I don't think you can do anything for a mediocre doctor. Come with me to Lingzhou, and you can be a medical officer if you don't guarantee it!" Chen Yingdao: "However, you also know that there are risks in the battlefield!"

"Man dies for money, and birds die for food!" Chen Huairen said, "Wealth and wealth are in danger!
