I studied in modern times

Chapter 321 The Emperor bestows divine objects

In Zichen Palace.

The governors have already bid farewell and left, and even the two palaces have also left.

But Zhao Xu still stayed here, and Di Yong also stayed here.

Zhao Xu kept Di Yong in order to "teach him face-to-face instructions."

Although it sounds exaggerated for a nine-year-old child to give instructions to an experienced general.

But considering the tradition of Zhao officials, it is normal - since Taizong, officials of all generations like to give battle plans to frontline generals.

The emperor was far away in the palace in Bianjing City, but he was still separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it was not uncommon for him to micromanage the front line.

The most famous one is the late emperor.

Five roads to defeat the summer, all the way micro management.

It is said that at that time, there were more than a dozen or even twenty hurried horses departing from Bianjing every day.

As a result, horse riders kept coming and going on the road.

In addition, the battle of Yongle City is also full of micro management.

Since the emperor, who knows nothing about military affairs, can dictate wars thousands of miles away, he also demands unconditional obedience from the generals on the front line!

Then, it is completely reasonable for a self-possessed and smart little emperor to give face-to-face instructions to the general who is about to set off.

The two palaces understand this very well.

After Zhao Xu announced that he would stay with Di Yong and ask for advice, he took his people back to Baoci Palace.

As soon as these people left, Zhao Xu asked Yan Chen to lead people to clear out everyone in Zichen Palace.

In the huge Zichen Palace, only a few ministers around Zhao Xu were left, as well as the imperial guard Yan Chen led by Yulong Zuozhi.

Zhao Xu turned to Feng Jing and ordered: "Go and bring the things I have prepared!"

"Yes!"

Feng Jinggong left.

Zhao Xu stepped down from the throne, walked down the imperial steps, and came to the palace.

Yu Longzhi, whom Yan Chen brought with him, was always guarding him.

"Di Qing!" Zhao Xu looked at Di Yong.

Di Yong immediately bowed: "I'm here!"

"Your father once put down the rebellion of Nong Zhigao in the past. You are more familiar with Guangxi's geography and folk customs than I am! I don't need to say more about this matter!"

"Don't dare!"

"You serve in various places and lead troops to fight. I don't love you as much as you do about military affairs, so I won't say much about it!"

"I'm scared..." Di Yong quickly lowered his head.

Zhao Guanjia's reputation for micro-management is popular all over the world.

The generals have long been accustomed to it and have even developed their own countermeasures.

Like Zhao Xu, he made it clear that he would not interfere in strategy or military affairs.

It has been extremely rare throughout the ages!
"So, I will only teach you a few little marching skills!"

By this time, Feng Jing had returned.

In his hands he held some strips of burlap.

This kind of cloth was the cheapest fabric in the Song Dynasty, and it was also the material used by most ordinary people for daily clothing.

"The first one is leggings!" Zhao Xu clapped his hands and said to Feng Jing: "Feng Jing, show Di Aiqing how to leggings!"

Leggings are a skill that Zhao Xu learned from the archaeological team in modern times.

It is said to come from experience during the war years.

Gaiters can improve the infantry's marching efficiency and speed, reduce muscle soreness, and even varicose veins.

It is the best marching auxiliary equipment for light infantry.

After Zhao Xu practiced it, he was convinced.

With leggings, walking in the wild, especially when climbing mountains and ridges, becomes much easier.

Moreover, the legging straps can also be used as a tourniquet in an emergency.

Di Yong looked at the cloth strips, and then watched Feng Jing in front of him, holding the strips of cloth and skillfully wrapping them around the calf starting from the toe of the shoe.

While wrapping it up, he also explained the key points: "General Di, this leggings should be worn while standing. It is most comfortable..."

"Every one or two turns, turn the wrong side of the strap upwards..."

"Not too tight, not too loose..."

"It's better to hit it all the way to the crook of your leg!"

Di Yong looked at the simple movements demonstrated to him by Feng Jing, although he still didn't quite understand what they were for.

But this is something that the emperor ordered his people to demonstrate in person.

Even if it is a completely useless burden, at least it must be promoted throughout the army while in Bianjing.

This is respect!It is also a kind of surrender!
Feng Jing tied the strap on his left leg and then danced in front of him.

"General, please see, after these leggings are put on, they should fit perfectly with the shoes...so that even in the wild, you won't be afraid of insects and ants biting your legs!"

Di Yong's eyes lit up as he listened.

When his father was still alive, he said that the biggest problem encountered during the expedition against Nong Zhigao was the rugged mountain roads of Guangnan West Road and the bites of insects, ants and leeches.

Guo Kui and Zhao Xinnan Zheng were also harmed by insects and ants!

Therefore, when Di Yong looked at those cloth strips, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a beauty!
This alone can save the sergeant from countless illnesses!

"In addition, after wearing these leggings, you may feel some swelling and pain in the first few days, but you will get used to it after a few days!"

"Moreover, it can make soldiers march more easily! It has been tested in Ouchi. The ministers wearing leggings can walk around Ouchi several times a day without feeling any pain!"

Di Yong's eyes brightened as he listened.

If it really has such an effect, this is an artifact!
He immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty has given me this gift. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of our officers and men!"

If it really has such an effect.

Even if it only allows the army to travel an extra twenty miles a day.

For thieves, this is already a dimensionality reduction blow.

It can make the Song Dynasty army appear unexpectedly in places that the thieves and bandits could not imagine.

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Di Qing, don't be too hasty to thank me..."

"I have also prepared a lot of things for the army!"

He clapped his hands, and something contained in a small porcelain bottle was brought over.

Zhao Xu took the porcelain bottle in his hand and opened the cork.

After smelling the smell, he laughed: "It's this refreshing smell!" "Please come and smell it too..."

Di Yong took the porcelain bottle, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. A strange fragrance with the smell of mint and mugwort hit his nostrils.Give him a cooling pleasure!

"This is this?" Di Yong suddenly became curious.

"This is a kind of medicinal wine specially made by my imperial medicine hospital. It's called toilet water..."

"I won't tell you the formula. All you need to know is that this product can be applied to mosquito bites to effectively prevent wounds, itching and abscesses..."

Di Yong's eyes suddenly widened.

Zhao Xu smiled.

Why did Liu Weijian stay in the Imperial Concubine Pavilion and the Imperial Medicine Hospital, and was only sent by Zhao Xu to review the accounts of the Detective Department a few days ago?
Just doing this.

First, the distillation technology of alcohol was solved, and then it was soaked with mint, mugwort, camphor, borneol and other substances.

Of course spending money is spending money!
More than 1000 kilograms of toilet water cost at least more than 1000 and [-] guan.

This does not include the cost of distilled liquor.

However, this is nothing more than the cost of an army expedition.

What's more, it is impossible for Zhao Xu not to lose money.

By the time the Southern Expedition is over, it will almost be summer.

Toilet water just took the opportunity to launch the market along with the good news and make a lot of money!
For this reason, Zhao Xu had already sent an edict to Song Yongchen in Hebei, asking Song Yongchen to summon local kiln officials in Hebei to make a batch of exquisite white porcelain vases or celadon vases.

At the same time, an order was given to the kiln factory in Beijing, which also required the firing of a batch of exquisite porcelain vases.

Just wait for summer to harvest the money bags of Bianjing people.

By the way, he also harvested the money bags of the Liao people.

Mosquitoes in the north are more ferocious than those in the south!
Especially mosquitoes on the grassland!
Now that toilet water is available, high-concentration alcohol is naturally indispensable.

Zhao Xu clapped his hands, and Feng Jing handed over a porcelain bottle filled with alcohol.

"And this thing is the essence of wine made by Ouchi using a secret method to extract the essence of wine!"

"It is the most yang thing, specially designed to overcome the poison of yin evil!"

"If a soldier is injured, use this substance on the wound, which may prevent the wound from becoming fester!"

Di Yong's eyes almost popped out of his head as he watched.

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Of course, this thing can only be used by doctors, and it should be kept by medical officers!"

"This is the fourth gift I have prepared for the soldiers of the army!"

"A full 150 medical officers accompanying the army!"

Last year, at Zhao Xu's request, the two palaces expanded their recruitment by [-] practicing doctors.

These people were then sent to Hebei by Zhao Xu to follow Song Yongchen and practice with the tens of thousands of young men.

At the same time, Zhao Xu also asked Chen Yijian from the Imperial Medical Bureau to teach these practicing doctors some field first aid techniques learned in the modern archaeological team.

The most common thing that happens on the construction site is various injuries.

After a whole winter of practice, these medical practitioners grew up rapidly.

Now, another 150 people are selected from them to serve as military doctors for the 5000-strong Yulong First Army.

Zhao Xu feels that it should be able to fully meet the medical needs and first aid needs of the army!

When Di Yong heard that there were actually 150 military doctors, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the First General Yulong!"

This is Ron!
150 doctors!

Not to mention how many lives can be saved.

Just having these 150 doctors accompanying the army will boost morale beyond compare.

After all, what soldiers fear most on the battlefield is to be injured and have no one to treat them, so they can only die wailing.

This is the biggest blow to morale outside the battlefield, and it is also the thing that soldiers fear the most.

Despair and fear are contagious.

However, Di Yong actually didn't have much illusions about those so-called military doctors.

Because doctors in the Song Dynasty basically did nothing active in dealing with trauma.

Basically, just prescribe some painkillers and then let nature take its course.

But, this is at least better than the soldiers in the camp, wailing day and night, but no one comes to rescue them.

At the very least, some lives can be saved no matter what.

At least there is comfort!

In despair, having comfort is better than anything else!
Zhao Xu asked Feng Jing to help Di Yong up and said: "These military doctors are all national talents, please protect them carefully!"

This expansion of [-] medical doctors has drained the entire Kaifeng Prefecture of private medical resources accumulated over the years - those who can pass the examination of the Imperial Medical Bureau are naturally those who understand medical principles.

There are very few such people among the people, but Zhao Xu also asked the Imperial Medical Bureau to screen out people over 30 years old from the Imperial Medical Bureau's assessment.

Only choose those who are young and have not yet formed a fixed mindset.

Because only these young people will learn the first aid skills Zhao Xu learned from modern times.

But as a result, next year, the year after, or even the year after, the Imperial Medical Bureau will no longer be able to recruit so many young people in Kaifeng Mansion.

After all, in the Song Dynasty, everyone was inferior in everything except reading!
Young people who understand medical science are generally scholars.

Scholars will not abandon Confucianism and practice medicine as long as they are not at the end of their rope.

As long as these young people come back from Cochin alive.

Each one will become a cash cow in the hands of Zhao Xu - in the Song Dynasty, famous doctors are real money-making machines!
Nowadays, the most luxurious families in Bianjing City, apart from the heads of the guilds, are the famous doctors.

From Maxing Street to the north, there is a dedicated medical street.

There are famous doctors' homes in Bianjing, and there are countless pharmacies and clinics in between.

The competition here is also extremely fierce!
In his previous life, Zhao Xu heard a report from the Kaifeng Mansion: Pharmacies on Maxing Street often pretended to be lions and hozens to attract pedestrians and gather citizens in order to sell medicine!

There is also a Yang family who, in order to stand out from the competition, locks the live tiger in the market! '.

In order to grab traffic, a live tiger was locked in front of the store for advertising!
The profits of medical treatment are so great that "for dozens of miles from north to south, there are medicine shops along the way, with doctors from many countries and many wealthy people."

The Chinese doctors in the palace all opened medicine shops outside, doing diagnosis and treatment work.

So get rich!

For example, the Sun family's mansion in Bianjing City has more than a hundred doors, which is comparable to the prime minister's house!

It is known as: Jade Luo Han Ping Sun Family.

The profits from medical treatment are so huge, how can the Zhao officials not get involved?
Therefore, during the Xining period, Zhao Xu's father set up a bureau selling medicine in Bianjing City, called the Cooked Medicine Institute, and earned 10,000+ yuan a year!
Intense medical issues have naturally given rise to many social conflicts.

Therefore, Cai Jing later promoted the establishment of the 'Huimin Medical Bureau' to sell drugs at affordable prices to maintain people's hearts.
