Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Chapter 184 Glass is born!

"Blood test is nonsense!"

As soon as the news of the Di Bao came out, it aroused heated discussions among the people.

In this era, blood test is the only way to identify parent-child relationship. It has been used by royal nobles in the past, but it is now proven to be false.

All of a sudden, the faces of countless people turned green.

"Who would have thought that the blood test would be fake?"

Beside Yuhu Lake, Zhao Xu and Zhao Xu were training as usual, and they couldn't help but click their tongues.

The royal family naturally values ​​bloodlines the most, but concubines will check their bodies when they enter the palace to ensure that they are virgins, and there are all maids and eunuchs in the palace, and there are no men. In addition, there are records of every sexual intercourse in the harem, blood test for in-laws Pseudo doesn't have much effect on it.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Although the blood test has been proved to be untrue, blood transfusion therapy is a feasible way."

"Blood transfusion therapy? Blood transfusion is really not allowed between father and son?"

Zhao Xu frowned and said,
Fan Zhengning nodded and said: "Pang Langzhong has already used beasts to conduct experiments. Once the blood between father and son is mixed, ten deaths and nine lives will be born."

Fan Zheng vigorously cultivated the line of veterinarians, and it finally paid off. Naturally, many medical ideas cannot be directly applied to the human body. The use of animals for experiments has become a trend among doctors, and the line of veterinarians has contributed a lot.

"It's a pity." Zhao Xu frowned.

If doctors can successfully test blood transfusion therapy, it will surely save more Song soldiers.

Fan Zheng clasped his hands and said, "I came here today to ask the officials for help."

"Ask me for help?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but be surprised, one must know that Fan Zheng has always come from different places, and he has never seen anything that stumped Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng smiled wryly and said: "I am a doctor, not a god, so naturally there are things beyond my power."

Zhao Xu laughed and said, "Then I don't know how you want me to help you?"

"If the blood transfusion therapy is successful, the whole world will benefit a lot, but the collective wisdom of doctors and doctors can be gathered by Wei Chen, but nothing will be gained. Wei Chen wants to ask the Ministry of Industry to be a skilled craftsman to help the doctors." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu was puzzled and said: "How can a craftsman who will be a supervisor know medical skills?"

Fan Zheng explained: "Although craftsmen don't know medical skills, they can help doctors create better blood transfusion equipment, and I feel the beauty of Kuo, and I plan to use the method of Kuo, please make a pair of blood transfusions for doctors." Eyes, eyes that see the tiniest speck of dust."

Fan Zheng naturally knew that the blood type was the most important thing for a successful blood transfusion, and a microscope was necessary to identify the blood type.

With Da Song's level of technology, it is naturally impossible to make a microscope. Fortunately, only forty times the microscope is needed to see the cells in the blood, and the only thing that can do this is probably to create a great master.

"allow!"

Zhao Xu naturally agreed.

"Thank you, the official!"

Fan Zheng was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to leave and go to serve as the general.

………………

Will be in prison!

"Gongshu should have met Master Fan!"

Fan Zheng came with the official's order in hand, and the general prisoner did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent a highly skilled Gongshu Ying to assist Fan Zheng.

"Master Gongshu is polite, and I hope Master Gongshu will help the doctors this time." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"I don't know what Master Fan wants to build?" Gong Shuying asked.

Fan Zheng solemnly stated the idea of ​​the microscope.

"It can magnify an object forty times! Is this impossible?" Gongshuying suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at Fan Zheng in disbelief.

What he has done can only magnify the object several times at most. It is already a great achievement to make the old officials see the documents clearly. Magnifying forty times is simply a fantasy.

Fan Zheng raised his presbyopic eyes, looked at the magnified text inside the screen, and then smiled slightly: "Of course, one convex screen cannot magnify the object to more than forty times. What if two convex screens are superimposed?"

Fan Zhengzheng superimposed the two pieces together and handed them to Gong Shuying.

Gongshu Ying looked at the text in the 叆叇 that was more than ten times magnified, and couldn't help but startled.

"It's still possible to do this?" Gongshu Ying said in disbelief.

Fan Zheng nodded. Since the two convex lenses can magnify more than ten times, theoretically speaking, it is not impossible to achieve forty times.

However, Gong Shuying shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Master Fan's recipe is miraculous, but it is still difficult for me to complete it."

Fan Zheng frowned and said, "Why?"

Gongshu Ying said helplessly: "Firstly, although the crystal is transparent, it still has many flaws and is not completely transparent. Secondly, no matter how superb the polishing process is, the surface looks as smooth as a mirror, but after magnification, cow hair patterns will appear. Ten times, that is, magnified twenty times, I am afraid that it is impossible to see clearly.

"Ox hair pattern!"

Fan Zheng frowned, picked up a polished crystal and magnified it with a magnifying glass, and sure enough, there were fine lines formed by polishing.

"Sure enough, there is no shortcut to medical skills!" Fan Zheng sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, he has a backup plan, artificial glass.

"Glass, I don't know what glass is?" Gongshu Ying asked puzzled.

Fan Zheng replied: "Glass and colored glaze are essentially the same, but the production of glass is simpler, only sand and lime are needed to make it."

"How is this possible?" Gongshu Ying asked in shock.

You must know that colored glaze was extremely precious in the Song Dynasty, but sand and lime were everywhere, so how could the two be compared.

"Master Gongshu will know once he tries it!"

Fan Zheng believed in himself.

Gongshu Ying was skeptical, and according to Fan Zheng's method, mixed sand and lime, ground them, and sent them to a crucible for smelting.

Released!

cool down!

When a large piece of translucent glass appeared in front of him, Gongshu Ying said in disbelief, "It's so simple."

The glass in front of Fan Zheng's eyes was only the most primitive glass, with a lot of impurities and bubbles, and the transparency was not enough.

However, Fan Zheng was not disappointed. Under his guidance, Gongshu should continue to improve the formula, after repeated experiments.

Finally, a colorless and transparent glass product appeared in front of the two.

"It's done"

Fan Zheng was overjoyed.

With transparent glass, doctors can conduct various medical experiments.

With transparent glass, it is no longer necessary to use expensive and rare colorless crystals to make 叆叇, and cheap glass 叆叇 will benefit scholars all over the world.

With transparent glass, the microscope will be at your fingertips, and doctors will enter a new era, and they will see through the doctors.

Physicians are about to flourish.

With transparent glass, the most difficult step in building a microscope was finally completed. Under Gongshu Ying's delicate production, an original microscope was finally completed.

Its shape is much simpler than the microscopes of later generations, and its clarity is also far different, but Fan Zheng regards it as a treasure. To doctors, it is simply an invaluable treasure.

Fan Zheng looked at the still-shocked Gongshuying, and couldn't help but move in his heart, "I don't know if Master Gongshu is willing to join the doctor's family?"

"Join the doctor's family? I'm just a craftsman, but I don't know medical skills!" Gongshu Ying said puzzled.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Doctors will set up a medical engineering institute! It will be responsible for manufacturing medical equipment for doctors. A forty-fold microscope is just the beginning. Doctors need more accurate microscopes to find the source of various diseases!"

"If Master Gongshu joins the Doctor's Family, his status will be second only to Fan's, and he will be on an equal footing with the deans of the other institutes, and enjoy all the benefits of the Doctor's Family."

Following Fan Zheng's promises, Gongshu Ying's expression was excited. Although he is a general prisoner, although he is highly skilled, he is just a low-status craftsman. treatment.

However, Gong Shuying said bitterly: "Thank you, Fan Taicheng's great love, I am a craftsman under the Ministry of Industry, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape."

The Song Dynasty had extremely strict restrictions on craftsmen, especially for master craftsmen like Gongshuying that belonged to the Ministry of Industry, there were even stricter regulations, and it might be difficult to escape.

"Don't worry, I have my own way to let you join the doctor's family."

Fan Zheng placed his peripheral vision on the discarded glass scraps aside. As a traveler, he naturally knew the value of glass. However, in the eyes of doctors, compared with the value of microscopes, the expensive glass secret skills are simply worthless. carry.

"Report to the officials! The court has no money!"

In the Chuigong Hall, Fan Chunchun, the new Minister of the Household Department, said solemnly.

"There is no money in the court? How is it possible?" Zhao Xu said in disbelief.

In order to save money, he did not hesitate to take risks to abolish the Liaoxia Sui currency, and now he has lightened the burden on Ma Zheng, but the Ministry of Household Affairs told him that the court had no money.

Fan Chunchun smiled wryly and said: "The officials don't know. Before the Song and Xia wars, the court spent a lot of money to build the Pingxia City. In addition, a large number of fortresses were built on the Liaoxia border, and the Military Weapons Supervision produced a large number of god-armed crossbows and shaking the sky. Lei spends money like water, and the imperial court's finances are already stretched."

The Song Dynasty seems to have a lot of finances, but the redundant troops and officials are too expensive, and the expenditure is also extremely large. Now that the situation in Liaoxia is tense, the Song Dynasty must take more precautions, which almost dragged down the Song Dynasty's finances.

"Even though the country is big, it will perish if it is warlike! Please don't start war lightly!"

Lu Dafang wrote a letter to advise him.

"The minister impeached Fan Zheng, the Imperial Physician, and bewitched the officials to abolish the old currency, which put the Song Dynasty in such a crisis." Censor Yang Wei pointed the finger at Fan Zhengdao again.

Other old party ministers also echoed. They once opposed the abolition of the old coin, that is, the expenditure of the old coin seems heavy, but compared to the money spent on the war, it is a drop in the bucket.

Fan Zheng coldly reprimanded: "It seems that there are not many old coins, but they are given every year, and they accumulate a lot of waste every year, but the bastions and the shocking thunder can deter Liaoxia. Although the expenditure is huge, they can be done once and for all. , the economic accounts in it, don't need Fan to calculate them one by one for you!"

Zhao Xu nodded. Zhen Tianlei's offense was insufficient, but his defense was more than enough. Da Song had enough confidence to resist Liaoxia.

Although this expenditure is huge, it is a one-time expenditure. In the long run, Song Dynasty will benefit greatly.

Lu Dafang snorted coldly: "Although this is the case, the Song Dynasty has adopted the strategy of cooperating with the Liao Kingdom to manage the Silk Road, and the Liao Kingdom has not responded for a long time. It is still unknown whether the Liao Kingdom will be war or peaceful. If the finances are used to defend the Liao and Xia Dynasties, I am afraid it will only drag down the Song Dynasty."

Now Liaoxia has to guard against it. The expenditure of the Ministry of Households is like a bottomless pit, which directly affects the government's finances. This makes the old party extremely dissatisfied, and can't help but miss the years when it used to spend money to buy peace.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Yizhuang still has hundreds of thousands of donations from the people all over the world, and it will be transferred to Kaifeng City in a few days, and it can be handed over to the Ministry of Households."

Li Qingzhao is now taking advantage of the momentum of the Pingxia City War to open charity villages in various cities of the Great Song Dynasty and openly solicit donations. After accumulating a lot with a small amount, there is already a lot of money that can be used.

Fan Chunli was not overly delighted when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's just a drop in the bucket!"

Fan Zheng said again: "Physicians recently studied blood transfusion therapy and accidentally discovered a treasure. They are willing to present it to the imperial court, which can solve the urgent need of the imperial court."

"treasure?"

The officials couldn't help being stunned, they were important officials of the imperial court, and they had never seen any treasures, besides, they didn't think that a mere treasure could help the imperial court much, even a gold mine might not be able to save the finances of the Song Dynasty.

In the public eye,
Fan Zheng took out a crystal clear cup from his pocket, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Is this a crystal cup?" Lu Dafang guessed.

"crystal glass?"

The eyes of all the ministers were frenzied. Crystal is a rare thing. Crystal products must be carved from a whole piece of crystal. The material is precious, the craftsmanship is extremely cumbersome, and it is easy to damage.

It was the first time they had seen such an exquisite crystal cup. It is said that during the Warring States Period, there was a crystal cup made of pure crystal that was extremely precious, but it was a pity that it was taken into the tomb and buried with it.

"How much do you think this treasure is worth?" Fan Zheng asked, looking around at the court officials.

"Such a large crystal cup is indeed rare, at least worth a thousand gold, but if it can help the court tide over the difficulties, I am afraid it is a bit exaggerated!" Fan Chunchun shook his head.

The crystal cup is indeed rare and precious, but there is only one of them, which is useless at all.

Fan Zheng smiled strangely, stretched out his hand and loosened it, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the crystal cup fell to the ground and shattered with a bang.

"What does Fan Taicheng mean?"

All the officials were greatly distressed, this is a crystal cup worth thousands of gold, even if Fan Zheng doesn't want it, he doesn't need to destroy it!
"My minister was disrespectful before impeaching Fan Zhengjun, and was proud of being favored." All the censors impeached one after another.

"The officials calm down, Fan Zheng's hands were slippery, it was just an unintentional mistake." Fan Chunchun quickly excused his nephew.

Fan Zheng calmly said: "Everyone, don't feel bad, the cost of this crystal cup is only a penny, and you can have as much as you want!"

"what?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help being moved.

A crystal cup is precious, but he is not valued by an emperor. If the cup is made for a penny and has everything, even he can't help being moved by the wealth in it.

"really?"

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not help being shocked.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "As you all know, doctors are currently researching blood transfusion therapy. This is just one of the by-products. It is called glass. In order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of the leakage of silk secrets, the doctors are willing to donate it to the court."

Only by keeping the secret recipe of Fan Zheng’s glass secret can the benefits be maximized. Western glass craftsmen live on an island all their lives just to keep it secret.

I am afraid that only the government of the Song Dynasty can do this today. Even if the doctors are forced to operate the glass business, I am afraid they can only make quick money for a while.

In addition, he is a doctor, so naturally he will not be engaged in business. What he values ​​more is the promotion effect of the appearance of glass on medicine.

When Tong Guanfan Zhengti prepared a batch of assorted glass products in the vertical arch hall,

The civil and military officials couldn't help but see a frenzy.

Once such an exquisite crystal cup appears in the world, it will definitely become popular, and if it can be operated, the benefits will not be inferior to those of silk.

"The cost of glass is really only one penny?" Fan Chunchun still couldn't believe it.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "To make glass, the cost is pitifully low. If it doesn't require labor and smelting, it won't cost a penny."

In front of all the officials, Fan Zheng did not elaborate on the secret recipe of the glass.

"The secret formula of glass is priceless." Lu Dafang said ecstatically.

It costs a penny and can be sold for thousands of gold. This is simply more profitable than a gold mine.

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "The reason why a single crystal cup is very valuable is because it is extremely rare. If it is sold in large quantities, the price will plummet once there are more crystal cups."

The ecstasy in Lu Dafang's heart suddenly dropped.

"It doesn't matter! As long as the imperial court controls the secret recipe of glass, the quantity and price, it is enough to maximize the profit of glass." Fan Chun said confidently.

The business of the Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous, and there were many state-run workshops. Fan Chunchun was naturally sure to make a fortune in glass.

Fan Zheng took the opportunity to ask Gongshu Ying to join the doctor's family and study optical glass for the doctor's family.

"allow!"

Zhao Xu was overjoyed, so naturally he agreed!
"Report to the officials! Although the secret glass technology is good, it is after all a foreign thing, not the foundation of a strong country. I invite the officials to start a new law and implement the law of young crops. The people are not rich but the country is sufficient. This is the way to make the country rich. "

Suddenly, Zhang Dun took the opportunity to propose to restart the law of enriching the country in the new law.

A group of new parties have echoed.
