Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 237 Sun Simiao’s Pharmacopoeia

The basic training route was taught to Su Dingfang, and Lin Heng would come to check the results in a few days.

As the general in charge of this divine machine battalion, Su Dingfang also knew nothing about divine guns, and was currently training with the soldiers.

Holding a gun under the scorching sun trains muscle memory. This process takes a long time in order to get into position as quickly as possible on the battlefield and then shoot.

Generally speaking, it takes a period of time to practice in order to better utilize the strength of thermal weapons.

It was almost evening when he left the military training ground. Since his wife was not at home, he was not in a hurry to go home and went shopping in Chang'an.

After the Japanese people were driven away, the Japanese monks could no longer be seen, and it became a lot cleaner.

Chang'an is particularly lively after dark.

On a street, Lin Heng saw Sun Simiao again, running around with his young apprentice.

Lin Heng felt curious about this, so he stepped forward and said hello.

"Divine Doctor Sun, what are you doing?"

Seeing Lin Heng, the old man also smiled: "I didn't expect that I would meet Lin's consort. What a coincidence. The injury has been healed?"

Lin Heng said with a smile: "Thanks to the miracle doctor Sun, it's almost healed and there is basically no impact."

Sun Simiao shook his head: "It has nothing to do with me. Consort Lin's recovery from his injuries was so fast that even me was amazed. He is really a strange person."

A few days ago, Sun Simiao saw that Lin Heng's wound was scabbed. In fact, it was almost healed. Lin Hengfei asked to put a bandage on him, as if to let Princess Runan stay longer.

However, Sun Simiao didn't want to interfere in the young couple's affairs, so he just followed Lin Heng's wishes.

"Divine Doctor Sun, you are not resting this night and are still carrying your luggage. Are you going to practice medicine?"

Sun Simiao shook his head: "I have been visiting major medical clinics in Chang'an these days to see how far Chang'an's medical skills have progressed. After all, I have been away for so many years."

The young apprentice on the side said angrily: "Unexpectedly, after so many years in Chang'an, the medical skills are still the ones left by the master back then, but I can't recognize the master's identity. It's really ridiculous!"

Lin Heng smiled: "Miracle Doctor Sun has not appeared in Chang'an for so many years. Everyone only hears the name of Medicine King, but has never seen the true appearance of Medicine King. This is normal."

Sun Simiao was deeply touched by this. Every time he entered a medical clinic, he was looked down upon by others. He had to give his name and then show off his medical skills to shock everyone before he could enter.

It's a bit troublesome and tiring, but the purpose is to see what the medical books from various places are like.

In this regard, the old man was a little disappointed. These people stuck to their old ways and made no progress!

"I observe that there is nothing wrong with the medical books they have used over the years. It's just that many traditional Chinese medicines in the pharmacopoeia have some problems, or there are gaps in new medicines or incorrect records of their efficacy. They are already backward products from hundreds of years ago."

"Over the years, I have visited various parts of the Tang Dynasty and often tested the efficacy of hundreds of herbs. I have re-summarized the efficacy of old herbs, and then added more than [-] kinds of herbs that were not included in the pharmacopoeia, and compiled it into a new pharmacopoeia. I will prepare to find it after a while. His Majesty proposed the issuance.”

"It's just that the printing of books is so expensive. I'm afraid it won't be popularized in a short time. I'm afraid that some doctors will use old classics to treat new diseases, which will cause problems!"

Hearing this, Lin Heng's eyes immediately lit up: "Doctor Sun, can you show me the new pharmacopoeia?"

Sun Simiao nodded: "That's okay. Consort Lin seems to have some knowledge of medicine. This must be the reason for the Queen's recipe."

He then looked at the young apprentice on the side: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you quickly take out the pharmacopoeia and show it to Prince Consort Lin?"

The young apprentice was extra careful and took out a pharmacopoeia written on yellow paper that was as thick as two Xinhua dictionaries. "You have to be careful. The things that come to your door are all written by my master. It's not okay if you break them."

Lin Heng smiled: "Don't worry, I will be careful."

After taking the pharmacopoeia, Lin Heng looked at it and was surprised. On the yellow paper, the properties, pharmacology and effects of each drug were written in Juanxiu small regular script. It was extremely detailed, and there were accompanying pictures, including similar types of medicine. The division of drugs is clearly planned.

The development of traditional Chinese medicine in ancient China is very good. The person in front of me, Sun Simiao, has made surprisingly great contributions to Chinese medicine.

The old man proudly said: "The medicines recorded here are all the medicines I have seen over the years. Many modifications have been made on the basis of the old pharmacopoeia. They must have made some contributions to the medicine of the Tang Dynasty today."

Lin Heng shook his head repeatedly: "Why is Dr. Sun so important? The progress of our Chinese pharmacy is all due to the existence of people like Dr. Sun. The existence of this classic is a boost to our Chinese pharmacy!"

Sun Simiao hurriedly waved his hand: "As a medical practitioner, I cannot afford such praise from Prince Consort Lin."

Lin Heng suddenly thought: "Doctor Sun want to print this article and then distribute it?"

Sun Simiao nodded: "I want to ask His Majesty for permission on this matter, but His Majesty is currently preparing for the war in Korea. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to deal with these small matters, so I may have to wait for a while."

Aunt Lin Heng said: "I have a printing house for printing books. You might as well leave it to me, Divine Doctor Sun!"

A glimmer of light appeared in Sun Simiao's cloudy eyes: "In the past few days, I heard that Consort Lin has a book-making business. It seems that Consort Lin is responsible for some of the books in the royal family, and there is also the paper."

"It's just that I don't have much money, so I'm afraid I can't afford the money to make the book."

Lin Heng waved his hand: "Why should Dr. Sun be so polite? Besides, the cost of printing books is not very high. It would be good to contribute to Chinese pharmacy."

"Not very high?"

Sun Simiao couldn't help but be a little confused. He knew that the price of paper was not high. The cheapest ones cost a penny each. But making books was not a small expense, and you had to hire someone to copy them.

This is the most expensive book. The cost of a book is only a few guan. With such a large number of words, it would take hundreds of guan for anyone to write it.

That’s why I have to ask Your Majesty for permission to publish it.

"Can I ask, what is printing?"

Lin Heng returned the book with a smile, and then said: "It is very convenient to use engraving to print the contents on the paper and then dip it in ink for printing. Doctor Sun might as well come with me and take a look."

Lin Heng immediately brought his master and apprentice to the printing factory, and they were immediately shocked by the sight in front of them.

Arrange wooden blocks of different sizes with printed text on them, brush them with ink, hang up the surface residue, and then print on paper?

During the entire process, workers only need to control the equipment from the side. After completion, they pull the lever and the paper will be automatically taken out for the next process.

If we print books like this, not only the cost, but also the speed will be reduced a lot!
Sun Simiao immediately took a deep breath and raised his hands to Lin Heng: "Then there is Prince Consort Laolin. If this book can be published, it will definitely be of great help to today's medicine!"

Lin Heng hurriedly went to help him: "Why is Dr. Sun doing this? This is just a contribution to Chinese medicine. The publisher can just leave my name."

"Hehe, of course."

Lin Heng chuckled: "Then I'll go find the manager and let him be responsible for the typesetting. Doctor Sun will just contact him. Don't worry about the cost. Anyway, this book will definitely be sold. When the time comes, I'll give it to you." I’ll just give you a share.”

"No problem, we have Laurin's consort!"
