Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 280 The Yan Family
Yang looked at her husband who had been walking around in the room for a long time, and said,

"The king of Wei chooses a concubine, why is my husband so difficult? After all, Empress Changsun is reasonable. If my husband doesn't want Juan'er to participate in the selection of a concubine by the king of Wei, just push it!"

Yang Yan stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Yang Shi but said, "It's fine if there are other princes, but this is King Wei.

He is extremely talented, both civil and military, and is almost a replica of a saint. How can this not be exciting!

Don't say it's me, any family that has received this decree, at the moment, I'm afraid that I'm glad that I have this opportunity, but I'm also afraid that I have this opportunity! "

"I never saw you hesitate like this last time when I was choosing a concubine for the crown prince. Could it be that the king of Wei can still beat the crown prince?" Yang said.

"Prince, hehe!" Yang Yan sneered and said, "Even since the Sui Dynasty, how many princes have you seen enthroned!"

"Keep your voice down!" Seeing Yang Yan's posture, Yang's worried voice slowed down.

"Understood. Seizing the heir is always the most dangerous thing. I, Hongnong Yang, managed to calm down. If I get involved again, I'm afraid I'm going to be smashed to pieces!" Yang Yan said unhurriedly, "It's exactly That’s why I’m so worried!”

Hongnong Yang's life is not easy. If he wants to get rid of the shadow of the previous dynasty, unless there is another great man among his clan, he will wait for the next era.

After hearing Yang Ji's words, Mrs. Yang understood that Yang Ji's heart was indeed moved, but her heart was moved, but Hongnong Yang's current background, especially Li Tang's background, could no longer afford to gamble.

However, Yang rolled her eyes and said to Yang Jian,

"Since you are not willing to part with your own daughter, how about letting the Wu family lady try it?
I looked at Lady Wu, who hadn't unfolded yet, but she was still an embryo of a beauty. If I was lucky enough, the King of Wei would see her as Princess Wei!
The Wu family abandoned their elder sister, so my Hongnong Yang family will be somewhat honored after all.

Even taking ten thousand steps back, even if King Wei didn't like it, it wouldn't be a disadvantage to my Yang family! "

"This... will my sister agree?" Yang Yan was a little hesitant when he heard Yang Shi's words.

"Just ask. After all, she was kicked out of the house by the Wu family. I don't believe it. She doesn't want her daughter to find someone to rely on!" Yang Shi said here with a little self-confidence.

After all, after the death of the samurai Xun, the Wu Yang family was expelled from the Wu family by the Wu family on the grounds that they had no males.

As for Wu Yang, a woman with a few children, she has no way to survive on her own except to go back to Luoyang to find her natal family.

According to the normal history, Li Tai had already been married and even had a son, so naturally there was nothing wrong with the Wu family.

But now because Li Tai proposed that it is better for women to have children later, although it was not enforced, the royal family, as court officials, gradually accepted this opinion with the idea that they could not afford to support their daughters.

This made the occurrence of Wei Wang's selection of concubine during this period of time, which was more or less a coincidence, not necessarily a fate.

In fact, Wu Yang stayed at Yang Ji's house until Li Shimin came to Luoyang Palace and heard about Wu Mei's reputation, which gave Wu Zetian the opportunity to enter the Tang Palace. Can't enter the palace.

Of course, when Yang made this suggestion, he had his own calculations more or less. After all, although Wu Yang was a low-key person, Yang felt that it was better to give it to this elder sister who was already married. .

Adding ten thousand steps back, the samurai Xun is actually a loyal minister of Li Tang. Now that she is orphaned and widowed to participate in the concubine selection of King Wei, the court will definitely investigate. Temper, should be kind to Wu Yang.

After all, in the final analysis, the marriage between the samurai Xun and the Wu Yang family was still the mediator of the deceased Taishang Huang Laxian.

Just like this, it would be best for Wu Yang to go to Chang'an by taking advantage of Wei Wang's opportunity to choose a concubine.

"Oh~" Hearing this, Yang Ji couldn't help thinking, this plan at least sounds good.

The Yang family didn't expect to be successful, but if Miss Wu was really favored by the King of Wei, the Yang family could get some help.

However, Yang Yan was a little uneasy and said, "Madam Wu is old enough?"

"If she wants to seize this opportunity, it should be enough!" Yang said calmly.

In fact, it was not only the Hongnong Yang family where Yang Yan belonged, who was thinking about whether or not to choose his daughter to participate in the selection of the concubine of the King of Wei.

Although King Wei didn't have Yuanfu yet, his achievements all the time almost made Li Tai's face full of the words "potential stocks".

In the end, whether you want to change your bicycle into a motorcycle, or change your bicycle into a stretcher, basically depends on this wave.

Therefore, as the matter of Li Tai's concubine selection gradually spread, the families related to Guan Long, large and small, selected their daughter-in-law and sent them to Chang'an, and began to participate in the selection of the concubine by King Wei. complicated.

On the other hand, Li Tai didn't care much about his marriage. In Li Tai's opinion, the eldest grandson queen should help him choose a woman with impeccable family morals.

If I let myself intervene, I will choose the one with the biggest breasts and the tenderest face. If I don't let myself intervene, then I will accept the most beautiful concubine in the future. It's ancient times, why don't you allow yourself to be corrupt!

Now, Li Tai is adjusting his property leisurely. Hearing that Sun Simiao was going back to the infirmary for consultation, he found an opportunity to come here.

Came to Gaoling Medical House, and at the moment Sun Simiao was taking the patient's pulse. It had become Sun Simiao's habit to spend at least fifteen days a month to see the patient.

As for the rest of the time, I either go to agricultural colleges to give lectures, or do combustion experiments, and perfect my own "Thousand Gold Prescriptions", which is quite enjoyable.

The arrival of Li Tai made Sun Simiao stunned, and asked with a little bit of surprise, "Wei Wang, why are you here?"

"I'm here to find the old god!" Li Tai calmly greeted Sun Simiao.

When Sun Simiao heard this, he made a gesture of invitation to Li Tai, and said, "Speak in the back room!"

When the two of them went to the inner room, someone brought tea, which was not the kind of tea soup that was ground into powder, but fried tea that could be brewed directly. Li Tai took a sip, and felt the fragrance on his lips and teeth, and he was full of energy.

Sun Simiao looked serious, but asked Li Tai, "What's the matter with King Wei coming this time?"

"I brought a lot of processed herbs from the land of Tuyuhun. Although I have asked the medical battalion to sort out some of the medicine experience, but in the end, I still need you, the old god, to check and incorporate these medicines into my medical system in the Tang Dynasty. I can rest assured!"

Li Tai looked at Sun Simiao in front of him, and revealed his purpose.

"Please rest assured, King Wei, this matter is my duty as a doctor, and the old man will naturally do his best!" Sun Simiao saluted Li Tai.

Li Tai heard Sun Simiao's words, nodded and said:

"I also ask the old god to try to sort out the medicinal properties and uses of these medicinal materials at the beginning of the year.

The Hehuang Valley is suitable for planting medicinal materials. In the spring, I will let them plant according to the medicines you sorted out by the old gods, so as to enrich the medicinal materials of our Tang Dynasty. "

To be honest, in Li Tai's impression, the shelf life of traditional Chinese medicine is quite long.

As long as they are handled well, they can basically be stored for two to three years, and a special storage room can even be established to store drugs and extend their time.

In this regard, it is actually more convenient to store in places like Hehuang Valley.

Because those are relatively easy to build icehouses, or similar storage, after all, it is not an easy task to transport medicinal materials from Hehuang Valley to Chang'an.

In the final analysis, roads still need to be built. Only by building roads can Chang'an completely control the Hehuang Valley, and even the four counties in Hexi.

But this is a big project that needs the support of the state. Even Li Tai only thinks about it and doesn't even make a plan.

Sun Simiao heard Li Tai's words, and replied again, "I must have sorted out the properties of the medicine before the Chinese New Year."

Because with the compilation of Qianjin Yaofang, Sun Simiao also awakened his own spiritual talent.

It's a bit similar to studying things to gain knowledge, or to understand the subtleties of mysteries. Of course, in a more popular way, it is the analysis of medicine.

To put it simply, if Sun Simiao thinks that it can be used as medicine, then he can analyze the overall nature of this thing.

Under normal circumstances, there is no problem at all in mastering this talent and becoming a medicine king.

Relying on this talent, Sun Simiao can adjust an optimal ratio of medicinal properties to toxicity for any side.

But Sun Simiao is not only a doctor, his essential occupation is a Taoist priest, but his side job is beyond the reach of everyone.

At the same time, for Huaxia's TCM theory, most of the substances in this world have two properties,

One is imported, and the other is used as medicine. Even a stone may give you a strange earthwork.

Therefore, for Sun Simiao, as long as he ideally judges that this thing can be used as medicine, then the nature of this thing will be continuously analyzed by Sun Simiao, and he uses this method to continuously analyze the flame.

Because Sun Simiao thinks that fire can be used as medicine, such as cupping, which is a way of using fire as medicine.

This allowed Sun Simiao to analyze the properties of fire, and allowed him to go a long way in the study of flames, because Li Tai's coal was almost unconditionally used by Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao has basically been able to do it through his own spiritual talent. When a piece of charcoal is passed over his hand, he can judge how hot the charcoal can burn.

Of course, because there is no precise temperature vector, Sun Simiao can't describe the accuracy.

But Sun Simiao himself can basically judge that the flame is the process by constantly experimenting with various flames. However, if he wants to completely overthrow the theory of the five elements, or expand on the basis of the theory of the five elements, Sun Simiao still can't find enough to generalize. theory.

Basically, this level cannot be broken through. Sun Simiao may be the pioneer of this path, but he is only a pioneer.

We need to wait until the people behind step on his shoulders to truly prove this path and summarize his discoveries.

To be honest, this kind of person who sums up the experience of the predecessors and carries forward the past himself is really hard to wait for. It may take hundreds of years for such a person to appear, and this kind of person is basically a monster that can promote the development of the times .

And Sun Simiao was a little tired from the experiment, so he came out to see the doctor, and relieved himself by treating diseases and saving lives.

"That's why I'm going to trouble the old god!" Li Tai said to Sun Simiao, "Also, Qing Que wants to ask the old god about something. To what extent has your research on fire reached?"

Since Li Tai proposed the idea of ​​proving that flame is a process rather than a result, Sun Simiao has been researching it.

In Li Tai's view, even though Sun Simiao is not the most outstanding scientist of this era, he is the top person of this era with his talent. With his four or five years of hard work, he should be able to research it. something!
"Wei King, how far do you want to go!" Sun Simiao asked Li Tai when he heard Li Tai's words.

"Can you make Kongming lanterns!" Li Tai looked at Sun Simiao, but asked his own question.

"Isn't this matter so easy!" Sun Simiao couldn't help being a little puzzled when he heard Li Tai's words.

In this era, there are Kongming lanterns, and even the Lantern Festival has the habit of lighting up lanterns to make wishes. Under such circumstances, Sun Simiao felt that Li Tai's question was somewhat redundant.

And Li Tai continued to ask, "Can this sky lantern carry people?"

Yes, Li Tai has no interest in whether the study of fire is the process or the essence.

But what I am interested in is the derivative products brought about by this matter, and I need hot air balloons!

"King Wei... why would he have such an idea!" Sun Simiao looked at Li Tai, but he didn't expect that Li Tai would have such an idea.

The principle of Kongming lanterns is naturally clear to Sun Simiao and others, but to expand it to the extent that it can carry people, to be honest, normal people would not have this idea, but Li Tai thought about it this way.

Li Tai said: "Because the transportation of materials in the Hehuang Valley is not easy, and the terrain is even more obvious with high altitudes.

In such a place, it may not be a matter of time to build roads, and it may even be a project similar to the Grand Canal.

Therefore, before the road is repaired, is it enough to use a method similar to the Kongming Lantern to transport it directly from the air?

I don't care how far the transportation distance is, as long as the Kongming lantern can help the materials to be transported through the mountains and reach the official road, it is enough! "

Yes, Li Tai didn't intend to study things like hot air balloons for war, but Li Tai hoped to use this thing for material transportation.

Especially in places like Qinghai and Hehuang Valley, which are far away from Datang and have inconvenient transportation.

Just use this hot air balloon for mountain climbing, and even build a few more transfer stations on these mountains to replenish the fuel of the hot air balloon to help the hot air balloon climb over the mountains.

And with the establishment of things like hot air balloons, it is no longer impossible to build engineering facilities on mountains and rivers in the future. At least when laying the foundation, this hot air balloon can help a lot.

To be honest, if the hot air balloon can really be made, it will be of great help to the current Datang, at least mastering areas such as mountainous areas.

"Old Daoist, I may be able to give some advice on the flames, but if I want to make such a skillful thing, I'm afraid I need Mo Ling's help.

If possible, King Wei can find the Yan family, they are best at craftsmen, and they are famous craftsmen! "Sun Simiao said.

"Yan Family Yan Liben..." Li Tai couldn't help thinking about it when he heard this.
