Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 50

A week later, the prince ascended the throne, and the princess calmed down a lot.

The son-in-law has a false title, so he doesn't have to go to the court, so Shen Sanwen naturally won't go to the court.But he was not idle either, there were more schools in Shen's Mansion and Princess Mansion, he had to take care of them, and he had to go to the East City Gate from time to time.

Hearing that the famous doctor Sun Simiao left several medical classics, Shen Sanwen planned to get these books.

Not everyone can memorize chemical formulas through time travel, and not everyone knows how to make gunpowder. Even if they remember, many things in the 21st century are called differently from those in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention many things that the Tang Dynasty did not have at all.With the steel-making technology of the Tang Dynasty, it would probably take craftsmen decades to make a musket and a few rounds of bullets, so after Shen Sanwen learned about it, he didn't think about it again.

Furthermore, if these weapons were really available, there would be no repeated political struggles in the Tang Palace. One shot down one, and assassination could determine the outcome of the court struggle.

If you want to get some weapons, you still have to rely on the achievements of existing people, and you can't get too far away from the overall productivity of society.

Sun Simiao was not only a famous doctor who pioneered pulse diagnosis by hanging silk, but also an alchemist and the first person in the world to record the composition of gunpowder.This man lived to be 140 years old. He was valued by Dugu Xin during the Western Wei Dynasty, and he was hailed as a holy boy. He went through the three emperors of the Tang Dynasty and was highly valued by the emperor. Unfortunately, he was also seriously ill when Gaozong was seriously ill, otherwise it would not have been the case.

It would be good if gunpowder could be developed according to Sun Simiao's records.

If it is possible, you must try it.

If every doctor could serve the world like Sun Simiao, with compassion, the Tang Dynasty would not have changed so quickly, and that quack doctor would not have ended up beheaded all over his family.

Shen Sanwen took Wang Bin to visit Sun Simiao's house together.

Sun Simiao's eldest son was an official in another place, and only his second son, Sun Zhi, was at home. Shen Sanwen prepared a hundred gold coins and politely asked to see him.

Hearing that he came to the door, Sun Zhi eagerly came to greet him personally, "My son-in-law, please come in. I don't know what's going on."

The three went into the living room and sat down, Shen San asked to clarify the purpose of coming, "It is said that Mr. Sun once left some books on medicine and alchemy, I would like to borrow one or two, I wonder if it is possible."

Sun Zhi was not surprised by his intentions. There are always many people who come to ask for books, "Could it be that the son-in-law is also proficient in medical skills?"

Shen San asked frankly, "I don't know medical skills, but I am very interested in your father's alchemy skills."

Sun Zhi chuckled, "my father once said that in the past three years, medical skills were only passed on to famous doctors who can help the world, and alchemy was only passed on to alchemists with good morals. , then this alchemy technique can also be passed on to the son-in-law."

Shen San asked puzzled, "Master Sun is not a pedantic person, he only writes books to pass on to future generations, but why there is such a regulation."

Sun Zhi explained, "Borrowing medical skills from virtuous people is only because the files have not been extracted and sorted out, and it will take time. Saving the manuscripts in the Sun's residence can prevent my father from losing his hard work. As for my father's dying order, he ordered us to destroy and improve it. The formula of Wushi powder, so as not to harm the people, this is a major matter, the Sun family is weak, it may take several generations to complete, so please help me."

Wang Bin couldn't keep silent anymore, "Was the new Wushi powder developed by Mr. Sun?"

Originally, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Wushi powder was widely circulated among the nobles, and later it was improved. Most of the dandies in the Tang Dynasty smoked it, and it cost a lot of money. If Shen Sanwen didn't understand these details, the Shen family would definitely not tolerate such an addiction gentleman.But Wang Bin couldn't calm down anymore, the Wang family didn't know how many young talents were ruined by this medicine.

Seeing Wang Bin like this, Sun Zhi naturally knew why he reacted so strongly, "When my father improved Mafeisan, he had no intention of developing this medicine for anesthesia, and the prescription was only passed on to a few doctors. Misusing it is harmful, so it is ordered that the Sun family should not keep this prescription, and all Sun's descendants should try their best to eliminate this prescription."

"But I don't know what's going on now?" Shen San asked.Wushi powder is equivalent to the opium of future generations. It not only damages the intelligence of people who smoke, but also becomes an important economic burden, causing the families of ordinary people to be ruined. Since I am in the Tang Dynasty, I must help the Sun family to deal with this matter.

Wang Bin said, "Five stone powder originally caused obvious damage and made the number of people drowsy day by day, but the improved secret recipe will shorten the time to two hours. Therefore, in the past five years, more and more princes from aristocratic families have begun to indulge themselves, and it is not easy. Known by the family, he only knows to pursue illusory bliss, regardless of the consequences."

"Then it is imperative to eliminate this formula."

Shen Sanwen responded immediately, and Sun Zhi took out the "Neifu Sulfur Method in the Alchemy Classic" which records alchemy.

The earliest gunpowder should have been developed from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. Now that I am concentrating on researching on the basis of this pill formula, it should be able to be developed earlier.

Shen Sanwen didn't know anything about Wushisan. These aristocratic sons would only have fun with the people they accompanied day and night. Although a son like him who was away all year round participated in their frolicking, he was far from adventuring together. The friendship of smoking this thing.

Therefore, he had to sum up with Wang Bin.

Shen San asked: "How should we solve the five-stone powder? Do we check the raw materials and execute those who made them, or start with the people who bought them and find out the source step by step."

Wang Bin thought for a while, imitating Di Renjie's gesture of stroking his beard when he was thinking, "Investigate one by one directly from the people who know the formula, and draw out layers of relationships. If you do an investigation, it will be easy for these people to disclose the prescription directly, and they have already made a lot of money through the prescription, so they definitely don't want to take this risk."

Shen Sanwen asked again: "The princes of the aristocratic families are powerful, could it be that they have already obtained the prescription, and even made a profit from it, and the doctors who first obtained the prescription, could it be that powerful people got the news, A pawn placed next to Mr. Sun to control some dignitaries."

Wang Bin nodded, "It's possible, we still have to start with doctors. If it's just some unscrupulous traders, it's okay to say something, and the family is nothing to be afraid of, but if there are forces from the DPRK and China involved, this matter is far from what we can do." It's under control. By the way, what's the use of that alchemy book, you want to live forever?"

Shen Sanwen looked at his unscrupulous appearance, and was speechless, "There is no one in this world who can live forever. People live forever, worthy of the world, worthy of relatives and friends, and have no regrets. The longer you live, the harder it is to have sincere feelings. See Watching the most beloved people around me leave one by one, the only thing left is loneliness, and one day I will be extremely bored, and life would be worse than death."

Wang Bin is also a free and easy person, "Unfortunately, since ancient times, no one has ever given up the pursuit of longevity. If Emperor Qin and Han Wu had Brother Shen's insight, many people would be able to shed a lot of tears."
