Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 107: The Empire’s Carnival!What does her life and death have to do with me, Li Kuan!

In fact, before the King of Chu started the Liaodong City War, the two had a brief marriage ceremony.

But at that time, it was only spread among the people in the inner city, and the marriage was a bit shabby, and it was a hasty marriage, so not many people remembered it.

This is the result that Princess Changle learned after sending people to investigate.

It was so shabby that not many people remembered it!

The people in the inner city are still like this, and the refugees who have poured in in large numbers after a few months are even less aware of it.

So in order to make this matter more familiar in the hearts of the people in the inner city, Princess Changle asked King Chu to have another feast.

Spend a lot of resources just for a fake wedding.

She knew that this request was a bit excessive.

but!
This is necessary to let more people know that she really comes to represent the peace of the Tang Dynasty.

And luckily.

King Chu still agreed to her proposal as before, as if he accepted her, and always agreed to all kinds of unreasonable requests so gently.

This man, he is so gentle, always so...
"Second brother, it's really troublesome for you to perform another show with me."

Princess Changle, who was dressed in red today, couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Li Kuan, who was also dressed in red, looked at her and said with a smile: "Chang Le, as I said when I first met you, I will agree to any request that is not too excessive."

"And the grand wedding is also beneficial to Yanyun City."

Princess Changle was slightly surprised: "Can I know where it is beneficial?"

She really couldn't figure it out.

How useful is it to spend so much resources just to hold a wedding that has already been held long ago and just expand it?
Anything, even if it takes away a girl's first time, is only the first time that is truly self-serving.

Hearing this, Li Kuan smiled and explained: "There have been too many refugees coming to Youzhou recently. Our Yanyun City originally had [-] residents in the inner city, but the total number of refugees during this period is [-]."

"It can be said that the locust plague in the Tang Dynasty added [-] people to Yanyun City, doubling the population from before."

"So many people from Youzhou have arrived. Although they have enjoyed the blessings of Great Yan, they have not yet had a grand banquet in the true sense."

"A grand, just like...a welcoming banquet to welcome them!"

Princess Changle's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

She seemed to... somewhat understand what Li Kuan meant.

there.

Li Kuan paused for a moment and continued to explain: "And Changle, on this important day of your marriage, I also specially sent people to post notices. Today is also a welcome banquet to welcome all the refugees from Youzhou!"

"Today is a special day. I will include it in my Dayan Festival, so that people in the future can celebrate today, and celebrate the people of Youzhou... who survived the disaster!"

"I call this day, Carnival!"

"Let the people who fled from Youzhou rejoice for their choice to survive!"

"It's just like…."

Just like National Day, Teachers' Day, etc. in later generations, they are just carnival festivals unilaterally held by the Great Yan Empire.

Li Kuan paused and added a sentence to himself.

Princess Changle's beautiful eyes widened when she heard this.

She really didn't expect that her slightly unreasonable request could be fenced and cheated by Li Kuan and he could benefit from it.

She was certain that she also understood King Chu.

If he had not made the request for a grand marriage, the King of Chu would never have thought of this. It was because of his request that Li Kuan thought about whether he could benefit from it, so he came up with a carnival.

This….
This is too outrageous.

This man, this man...
Princess Changle looked at him, looked at him seriously, and was once again frightened by the power of this man.

Father, can he really defeat such a terrifying King of Chu?

Princess Changle couldn't help but smile bitterly, becoming increasingly uncertain.

While she was feeling lost, Li Kuan walked up to her and slowly covered her with a red hijab.

"Okay, Changle."

"It's time for me to leave. I'll pick you up later and pick you up...to get married."

Li Kuan said calmly.

Princess Changle nodded sadly: "Yes."

After she agreed, Li Kuan paced outside.

this day.

Carnival.

As the festival literally means, it is destined to be a day full of carnival for the people of Dayan.

Traveling all the way from Youzhou through mountains and rivers, experiencing life and death hardships, a total of nearly 6 people arrived in Yanyun City, which was almost half of the original [-] people in Yanyun City.

This was the first officially recognized carnival day in their lives.

The people of Youzhou rejoiced for escaping from the death and oppression of the Tang Dynasty. The people of the original Yanyun City also reveled for the growth of their empire. The officials and soldiers of Dayan rejoiced for their emperor and for marrying the great Tang Dynasty. The emperor of the empire reveled in his favorite princess.

Everyone has carnival moments.

This day is worthy of the name of carnival! ! !

July 7th in the Great Yan Calendar is the real carnival day that belongs to Great Yan... and only to the Great Yan Empire!
From now on, it will be held grandly on July 7th every year, to celebrate the life and death decision of the people of Youzhou to escape the Great Flame, and to make the right choice and revel!
………………………….
The next day.

With the end of the carnival, Yanyun City, which was crazy yesterday and had free drinks and food, finally returned to calmness from the madness, and was even calmer than before.

That's because some people got drunk the day before, and some people were so tired after a day of partying that they fell asleep, making Yanyun City even more deserted than before.

Trash can also be seen everywhere on the streets, leftovers from the carnival.

Yanyun City aims to be a civilized city in the future, and so much garbage is really against the rules.

However, the King of Chu has granted permission to take a day off today, and tomorrow we will clean up the debris and resume work in all walks of life.

King Chu is always so gentle, yes, he is always so...
After getting married to Princess Changle, at the same time, intelligence came from Liaodong City.

Zhang Liao, leading the Haw Par Battalion, has effectively stopped the Goguryeo army. He can do this alone with the Haw Par Battalion. When General Bai Hu arrives with the full White Tiger Battalion in the future, it will only become more powerful and make the Goguryeo army even more difficult to move.

It can be determined with a clear eye that the war in Liaodong City will not ignite again in the short term, and even if it does, there is no fear. Five thousand Wei soldiers led by Xin Qiji are stationed in the city.

Compared with the previous Xuanwu camp, Wei Wu's soldiers made as much concessions as before.

There are even 2000 more people, and Liaodong City can be said to be impregnable.

Everything is moving in the right direction for Yan Guo.

On this day, Li Kuan, who had just gotten married, was handling government affairs in his Yanyun Palace.

The Yan Kingdom has developed so well that it can never lack an emperor who is at the right helm.

Therefore, in order to steer the ship correctly, Li Kuan had to personally supervise many things.

Just like the concept of school in Yanyun City today, if Guo Shoujing and others are not from later generations, how can they understand school?

They were all supervised by the King of Chu, and the latter simply followed the first successful case and continued to imitate it.

And school is just one of them.

There are many, many things waiting for this young emperor to handle personally.

today.

While King Chu was dealing with government affairs, a commander of the self-defense army, sweating profusely, came in through the report. He looked horrified and said: "Your Majesty! Dr. Li said that Miss Nalan is not alive. Go and have a look!"

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

"Oh?"

He was slightly surprised, closed the file gently, and asked calmly: "Even Dr. Li Shizhen, Li, can't do anything?"

The Nalan girl that the Self-Defense Army commander mentioned just now was Nalan Haixue that Li Kuan brought back from Goguryeo.

He rejected the Goguryeo emperor's proposal to return Nalan Haixue, and after lingering with her for a few days, he returned to Yanyun City and brought her back with him.

But after coming back, for some unknown reason, perhaps due to acclimatization or other reasons, Nalan Haixue has been suffering from a high fever.

It’s been hard.

Li Kuan didn't care about this either.

Unlike Du Ruyan, Nalan Haixue accompanied Li Kuan through life and death and was a true family member.

Nalan Haixue….
Just like Queen Xiao, she is just his pure plaything.

Even Queen Xiao has a higher status than Nalan Haixue because she is Han.

Counting down the days since he left the Tang Dynasty, he has had relationships with a total of three women.

Du Ruyan is a family member in the true sense, and Empress Xiao and Nalan Haixue are just playthings. They come and go when they are called, and they move according to his whims, nothing more.

and so.

Even if Nalan Haixue really died, Li Kuan would not be half sad.

Playthings are just playthings after all, don't talk about feelings.

only….
If it is within the scope of your ability and you can save someone within your means, then you should still save it.

After all, there are not many people like Nalan Haixue in the entire Goguryeo. They are very high-end playthings.

So Li Kuan sent Li Shizhen to diagnose and treat him.

I thought it would be easy to treat, but I didn’t expect it to be bad news now.

After Li Kuan closed the file, he thought about it without any emotion, and then said, "Let's go and see what's going on."

He asked the self-defense commander to lead the way.

soon.

The commander of the Self-Defense Forces took Li Kuan to Nalan Haixue's room.

I could only see the room separated by a curtain.

A beautiful woman was lying on the bed, feeling depressed and sick, her eyes closed tightly, and she coughed twice from time to time...
The delicate and greasy nose, the skin as white as snow, the small cherry mouth, and the red lips are more like a red plum in the snow, solitary and charming.Through the thick quilt, you can still see the exquisite curves of your figure.

Li Kuan walked in, frowned, and asked, "Mr. Li, how is Nalan Haixue doing now?"

Li Shizhen looked like a fairy. He kept stroking his beard and sighed: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic. Just now I almost thought that Miss Nalan would not be able to hold on. Fortunately, God protects her. This time I’ve just endured it for the time being.”

"The rest can only be observed after Miss Nalan has been raised for a while."

Hearing this, Nalan Haixue's maid on the side couldn't help but sigh up to the sky and said with sadness: "Ten years! Miss, your strange disease has not been cured for ten years. You are suffering too much!"

ten years….
Li Kuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Is there some genetic disease?
"Nalan Haixue, can she hear me now?"

Li Kuan asked.

Li Shizhen shook his head: "I don't know yet. Miss Nalan is not stable yet. Your Majesty should let Miss Nalan rest for the time being. I will report back when there is any situation."

Li Kuan did not leave, but stayed there and thought for a while, and then said: "Mr. Li, what disease does Nalan Haixue have?"

Li Shizhen replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, it is lung disease."

Li Kuan frowned: "Lung disease? As I expected, there are many types of lung diseases. What kind of lung disease is it?"

Li Shizhen shook his head: "I don't know, but this disease is very strange. It looks a bit like tuberculosis but it's not..."

"This disease is very strange. I previously thought that Miss Nalan was caused by weak liver fire, so I prescribed a prescription and it had some effect."

"But Miss Nalan suddenly became ill today... It seems that the prescription I prescribed is not of much use, and we need to think about it again..."

After hearing this, Li Kuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll come and take a look."

He walked to the Nalanhai snow bed and observed it for a while.

I found that apart from fever, it seemed to be coughing, and nothing special could be seen.

Hearing Li Shizhen say it was a lung disease, I couldn't help but feel a bit like pneumonia, but after all, I'm not a medical student, so I couldn't be sure at all.

All he could do was turn to Li Shizhen and say: "Mr. Li, you continue your research, I'll leave first."

Li Shizhen cupped her hands and said, "Best farewell to Your Majesty!"

Li Kuan walked out of the room and wanted to leave, but suddenly an unrealistic idea came into his mind, and once it came in, he couldn't contain it.

Finally, let his whole mind be filled with that thought.

then.

He turned back and walked toward the room.

"His Majesty?"

Li Shizhen watched Li Kuan go and come back, thinking that Li Kuan had other instructions.

Li Kuan went straight to the point and said: "Perhaps... I have a solution for this disease, but the hope is very slim."

Li Shizhen's eyes widened instantly.

Li Kuan went to see Nalan Haixue just now, but he didn't think anything. His Majesty is busy with many things and also takes care of the imperial war. It is unlikely that he has great medical skills, so he just took a look.

This is what Li Shizhen thinks.

but….
Your Majesty seems to have really seen something.

Li Shizhen looked at Li Kuan for a moment, with a little excitement on his face and said: "Your Majesty, what kind of solution can I ask? Can you tell me?"

Having been under Li Kuan's tent for a long time, he knew that the young emperor would not express his opinions easily, and he would be sure of his opinions once he expressed them.

Therefore, Your Majesty really has a solution!And it’s still feasible! !

This makes Li Shizhen, who has made no progress for several days, why not be excited?
Li Kuan said: "There is a drug called penicillin, which may be able to save Nalan Haixue's illness."

Li Kuan also struggled for a long time before deciding to speak out, without any hope in his heart.

The drug penicillin can be said to be a panacea in later generations, and it is also a soft gold during war times.

The safety is extremely high, and it has played an inestimable role in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.

Li Kuan happened to watch a drama before coming here, which explained in detail the preparation of penicillin through local methods.

But just remember the general idea, the details still need to be worked out.

However, he must ensure that the program is correct, the preparation environment is up to standard, and the knowledge on TV dramas must be reliable... so the success rate is basically zero in his mind.

Seeing Nalan Haixue like this, and seeing Li Shizhen making no progress, now she can only act like a dead horse.

soon.

Li Kuan then wrote down the approximate steps for preparing penicillin through local methods on paper, and then handed them over to Li Shizhen for supervision before leaving completely.

When Li Shizhen saw the method on the paper, she was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Your Majesty's method is quite...unique..."

Although he didn't quite understand it, this method was written down by the legendary man, so Li Shizhen didn't dare to be careless and immediately ordered someone to get a few baskets of oranges.

Putting all the oranges in a dark place allowed the mold to grow, and within a few days the mold began to climb the surface of the oranges.

Li Shizhen also asked people to get rice and taro to boil into juice, and roughly made a culture solution.

Finally, on the penicillium on the orange peel, I tried to select the greenest strain and put it on the culture medium.

After a week, the culture medium has been almost completed, and then in it

Add vegetable oil and stir.

Since penicillin is a water-soluble substance, this step is for further purification.

Next, add carbon powder and continue to stir and purify.

In the following steps, Li Shizhen followed the method on the paper and used acidic water and alkaline water to further purify penicillin.

If you don’t know how to make acidic water, you can only add vinegar directly. As for alkali, there is plenty in the imperial dining room, although the purity cannot be guaranteed at all.

There are several steps to filter in the middle. There is no such thing as filter paper. Li Shizhen even specially brought good paper from the imperial specialty from home!
Compared with the same rice paper, this kind of paper is tougher and softer, has good air and water permeability, and has a high density. It is much stronger than ordinary rice paper in all aspects.

Because of the lack of disinfection methods, toilet paper chooses to be exposed to the sun to sterilize when the sun is bright.

The needle tube was also handmade by a silversmith, and the rubber stopper was replaced with animal sinew.

All experiments were carried out in an orderly manner, and Li Shizhen's confidence was constantly built up through experiments one after another.

Your Majesty's method is feasible!

In order to ensure safety and rigor, Li Shizhen changed the order of the uncertain experiments, steamed all test equipment at high temperatures, and adjusted the ratio of acid and alkali water in groups. In the end, there were 27 experimental groups.

During the preparation of penicillin, Nalan Haixue got sick again inexplicably. Fortunately, he survived again without any danger.

at last.

Half a month later, all penicillins in all experimental groups were successfully prepared, and Li Shizhen also summarized a thick notebook, which recorded the experimental processes of each group in detail!

Li Shizhen looked at the 27 small silver bowls with lids on the table. Each bowl contained a portion of penicillin, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart.

perhaps….
Under His Majesty's guidance, I am going to make history!

The influence is extremely far-reaching and can even affect the history of the pharmaceutical industry for at least hundreds of years!

however.

Different from Li Shizhen's arrogance, He Shen, who was in charge of making money, had nothing to do today and ran over to look at them for a long time. Today, when he looked at these silver bowls, he couldn't help but start to feel a little drummed in his heart.

I have never heard of such a treatment, but Li Shizhen is a strange person, so there is a reason for doing this!
Believe him!Believe him!
"Old Li, what should we do next?"

He Shen touched his bald head and said.

Li Shizhen said: "Let's put aside whether this medicine can cure diseases. Our top priority is to verify the safety of penicillin. I need some death row prisoners. The rest will be left to you, Mr. He."

He Shen readily agreed.

Although he was mainly responsible for making money, he had also managed many people in the Qing Dynasty. It was precisely because of this that in the Great Yan, the King of Chu also gave him some power to decide the life and death of certain people on his own.

This death row prisoner is among them!
It was precisely because He Shen had the power that Li Shizhen spared no effort to report the death penalty to the King of Chu.

I don’t know what method He Shen used, but early the next morning, a thick list of death row prisoners was delivered to Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen looked at the roster, her face getting darker and darker...
Behind each roster is a record of what the prisoners have committed, such as murder, arson, and rape of women. There are many perverts who enjoy cannibalism and murder.

There are also many prisoners of the enemy country, people of different races, and the crimes they committed are also clearly written. Of course, there are also some whose guilt is unknown, but the prisoners are simply soldiers of the enemy country.

Originally 27 people were scheduled for the test, but Li Shizhen was so angry that he chose more than 40 people.

I originally wanted to cancel...

However, medical matters need to consider variables. As a medical expert, Li Shizhen understands the principles better. Therefore, considering the differences between individuals, he finally felt that it would be better to select more people to get more accurate results.

And Nalan Haixue no longer has time.

Although the King of Chu did not care about Nalan Haixue's life and death, and told Li Shizhen this idea, Li Shizhen adhered to medical ethics, so he put pressure on himself to save Nalan Haixue, so this time he must succeed once and not fail. .

So I hooked up a few more and made up 54 people.

Three days later, there was a dungeon in Yanyun City.

The inside has been changed into a huge sun-shaped prison cell. There are oil lamps all over the dungeon, but it still looks a bit dark.

Separated by curtains, Li Shizhen was afraid that the prisoners were too dirty and would spread some bacteria through sneezing and breathing, contaminating the test products.

Since He Shen has important matters today, among the senior staff, only Li Shizhen is experimenting here today.

More than a dozen Self-Defense Army soldiers guarded Li Shizhen. In front of him was a large table with 27 silver bowls placed on it.

Li Shizhen just silently drew the penicillin from 27 silver bowls into the numbered silver syringe.

After everything was ready, the curtain in the middle of the dungeon was slowly pulled open.

More than 50 death row inmates looked at the friendly old man in front of them through the cell door, feeling a little uneasy. This was the first time they had such an unusual prison experience.

Li Shizhen said slowly: "Everyone... please don't be nervous. The reason why you are gathered here today is to try out a new drug for the soldiers of my Great Yan Empire."

"This medicine can cure hundreds of poisons! It is extremely safe, but you need to share your experience after using it."

"The lucky prisoners who come to participate in the experiment today will each receive a reward of twenty dollars, which will be distributed after the autumn!"

"After the test is successful, I will plead with Your Majesty to exempt you from the death penalty and change it to life imprisonment!"

"Okay, I've finished talking. Who is in favor and who is against?"

As soon as Li Shizhen finished speaking, all the guards around him put their hands on the handles of their swords.
