Late Tang

The name of Lin Yuexian, the little doctor fairy, has been known to Li Jing for a long time.

This is a quite legendary woman. She looks like she is only twenty or eight years old, but in fact, she is already over thirty years old. It can be said that she is very beautiful.

But what is most famous about her is not her appearance that is nearly half younger than her actual age, but her extremely superb medical skills.

According to rumors, Lin Yueru's grandfather worked as a censor in Chang'an, and then resigned and returned to his hometown to farm and study by himself.When Lin Yueru was still very young, one day, a wandering doctor passed by the door and asked her for a glass of water.Miss Lin saw that it was an old man with a silver beard and an extraordinary bearing, so she invited him into the house, offered a seat to make tea, and warmly entertained him with meals.Seeing her virtuous and diligent hands and feet, the old doctor taught her secret surgical recipes such as surgery and ointment, and also gave her a secret "Shenfang for Acne".Later, after continuous practice, Zhang Xiaoniang became a famous female doctor who was proficient in surgery before she was 20 years old.All patients with sores, ulcers and carbuncles come to seek medical treatment, and after her diagnosis and treatment, they all have miraculous results. - At that time, he became famous and the patients were overwhelmed.

Later, she married the son of her father's family friend. Her father-in-law was a doctor in the court's Ministry of Punishment. He was a famous doctor in Feng Yi, and her mother-in-law was also very proficient in medicine.After she married into her husband's family, she passed on her surgical skills to her husband, and also studied medical skills with her in-laws.

Not long after her marriage, she suffered from Qi and blood disorders. Not only did she not give up studying medicine, but she took her own disease as a research object, prescribing and dispensing medicine herself, and finally cured her disease.Soon, her mother-in-law was bedridden and passed on all the secret recipes and pharmaceutical tools to her before she died.

In this era, some boudoir daughters and rich family members suffered from gynecological diseases. Due to the shackles of ideas, they were often ashamed to ask male doctors for diagnosis and treatment, which often delayed their illness.Lin Yueru was well-known for her superb medical skills, and female patients went there one after another.She summed up the doctors taught by her parents-in-law and her own years of experience into a "Miscellaneous Records of Women's Doctors".

Li Jing opened a medical school and a general hospital in Dengzhou, and invited famous doctors from all over the world to come here.

Lin Yueru is not only proficient in surgery, but also good at gynecology, so Li Rang went to invite her in person.I thought it would be difficult to recruit, but Lin Yueru, who has lost her widow, heard that she was not only invited to treat the rich, but Li Jing, the commander of the town [***], opened a special medical school in Dengzhou. They even set up several subjects for women to study in gynecology, obstetrics, pediatrics and nursing. When she was invited to be a teacher for female students and preside over several departments of Dengzhou Hospital, a large integrated hospital, she readily agreed up.

After Lin Yueru arrived in Dengzhou, she immediately started working.Li Jing had heard several reports from Li Rang that Lin Yueru had done a great job, and he had been looking for a chance to meet her to thank her face to face, but he never had the chance. He never expected to meet her on such an occasion today.

The people in the carriage, except for Li Rang and the others who had been smirking all the time, the others were a little eager to strike up a conversation.However, although Lin Yueru looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, she was already in her early thirties, so she easily pushed them aside with a few words.Then he simply took out a few large sheets of paper full of words from his small bag, opened them and placed them in front of him.

The few businessmen and scholars who had just arrived in Dengzhou looked at the words on it with some curiosity, and hadn't seen such a book yet.It seems to record all kinds of news, even some news that happened recently.

Several young scholars and businessmen were attracted by the paper in Lin Yueru's hand, but it was not easy to get too close to see it.

The driver driving the car in front also saw this, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the girl to be literate. This is the newspaper."

Lin Yueru smiled lightly, "Master, you are really well-informed, this newspaper is not long after it came out."

"I saw it at the post office. I heard that it is just a trial release, but it is said that the trial release is very successful and very popular. I heard that it will be officially released next month. Lao Liang from the post office also told me that I will Every day, I drop by to help him sell newspapers. But it is said that this newspaper costs ten cents a copy, which is really not cheap." Although the coachman said it was expensive, he was happy in his heart.He has already made an agreement with the post office that he will take newspapers from the old Dengzhou city to the new Dengzhou post office, and also help to recommend and sell this newspaper to the guests on the carriage. It is agreed that he can get a penny for selling a newspaper. money.If you can sell ten or twenty copies a day, it will cost several hundred pennies a month.

"Girl, what is written in this newspaper, can you read it and listen to it?" the coachman laughed.

Lin Yueru didn't have much airs, "I think it's a good deal for a newspaper for ten cents. It's full of four sheets of paper, but unfortunately, the words are too deep. For older people, I guess you need to use a magnifying glass and reading glasses to get it." I can see clearly."

As he spoke, he picked out a piece of news and read it out. Lin Yueru's voice was soft and sweet. Listening to her reading the newspaper, the others seemed to be listening to a play.

Li Jing had read the contents of this newspaper a long time ago. With the successful implementation of the post office system, Li Jing set up a new publishing bureau, which is in charge of the printing presses due to the success of papermaking and printing. The cost of books is reduced, and the publishing market is booming.Under the unified management of the Publishing Bureau, the content of all published books must be reviewed, and the sale of books to the outside world is also subject to control. For example, books related to agriculture, handicrafts, and military affairs are strictly prohibited from being sold outside Datang.But the Book of Songs, music, Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, etc., are completely unrestricted.

When publishing was booming, Li Jing set out to set up the Kyushu Newspaper, which is still in trial release. The Kyushu Newspaper adopts eight folio pages and is a large newspaper.There are a lot of content published, the first page of the front page is the important events of the court and China in the residence newspaper sent back to Dengzhou by Chang'an Jinzuoyuan in the town [***].There are also local editions at the back, as well as important news, economics, current affairs, poetry, and even some novels, songs, and so on.Li Jing plans to release picture editions and advertisements in the future.In addition, a reference edition for internal reading and a weekly magazine will also be issued.

Newspapers are the last tool for publicity and control of public opinion, so Li Jing has long thought that newspapers and magazines must be controlled by the government in the future.The same is true for the division of newspapers into general newspapers and internal reference news editions.Ordinary newspapers should publicize more good news, while reference editions would report some important news, as well as some vicious events and so on.

The front page headline of today's newspaper is quite heavy news.

Huang Chaojun, who had not been seen for a long time, finally reappeared in the eyes of the people all over the world after the defeat in Yizhou, but he had traveled thousands of miles west from Yizhou on the East Sea, and appeared directly in Yangzhai County, Henan Province, near the Eastern Capital. , and broke through Yangdi, only a few hundred miles away from Luoyang, the eastern capital.

And this is not the most shocking news. The even more shocking news is that Wang Xianzhi, the leader of the grass bandits who was beheaded in Yizhou and sent to Chang'an a few months ago, came back from the dead and led a group of grass bandits such as Shang Junchang. , Breaking through Jiacheng in Ruzhou, which is only tens of miles south of Yangzhai.

The two grass bandits appeared almost at the same time, Huang Chao attacked Yangzhai County, Henan Province, and Wang Xianzhi attacked Jiacheng County, Ruzhou.

As soon as this news came out, it can be said that everyone was shocked.Dengzhou was not the first to know about this news. In fact, it was half a month ago.Chang'an's emperor He Tian Lingzi, Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong and others had been happy for a few months, and they couldn't believe it when they heard the news.

But in fact, both Du Ke from Luoyang and Cui Anqian from Zhongwu have confirmed the news and reported to Chang'an.

It is not too surprising that Huang Chao suddenly appeared near Luoyang and defeated Yang Di.What really surprised them was Wang Xianzhi's resurrection.In any case, after Wang Xianzhi's head was sent to Chang'an, and the grass thief Huang Chao was defeated and Wang Jingwu was captured, the rest of the world's rebels, large and small, did disappear, and they were much more low-key and honest.But now with the appearance of these two people, the local government has already reported that the thieves in the four places are in chaos again.

The emperor immediately summoned Song Wei into the palace to answer, Song Wei also firmly insisted that Wang Xianzhi was dead, even the head was sent to Chang'an for seal inspection, there could be no mistake.There is only one possibility, the grass thief got a fake Wang Xianzhi out, just to take advantage of Wang Xianzhi's momentum.

As for the integration of Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi's old department, he also replied that it was absolutely impossible.Although he was the first to create chaos in Yizhou City and caused internal strife among the grass thieves, no matter what, the grass thieves did have internal strife.Moreover, once Wang Xianzhi died, the hatred between the two sides would be even greater, and it was impossible for them to converge.The current situation only shows that the two sides are looking for a way out together, and it cannot be said that they are all lost.However, seeing them make a fake Wang Xianzhi, it shows that the grass thief is not what it used to be, and its power is not as good as before.

This statement was agreed by most people in the court, but no matter what, the grass bandits suddenly reappeared and killed near Luoyang, which has already threatened the Eastern Capital.If the Eastern Capital is lost, the world will be shaken.Therefore, Tian Lingzi, Lu Xie and others discussed and reported to the emperor, and continued to transfer the towns to encircle and suppress the rebels.Tian Lingzi wanted to take the opportunity to kick Ximen Sigong and Yang Fugong out of Chang'an again.

But this time, Ximen Sigong and Yang Fugong refused to be fooled, joined forces with Zhang Tai, and finally sold them back in front of the emperor, and got the emperor's approval to stay in Beijing.In the end, the emperor issued an edict to Yang Fugong, the supervising officer of the Shatuo Army, to be the military envoy to recruit the grass-thiefs. He still used Song Wei as the camp of various ways to recruit the grass-thief envoys, but Song Wei refused to go out of Beijing again. Yi won a big victory, who knows if he will have such good luck next time.Therefore, the emperor did not excuse his illness, and the emperor did not dismiss him, but only ordered Cui Anqian to recruit his deputy envoy.

At the same time, Cui Anqian was ordered to lead the Zhongwu Army to quickly dispatch troops to chase down the grass bandits from the rear.Then he ordered Du Shencun, the Jiedu envoy of Zhaoyi, to lead five thousand cavalry to join the reinforcements sent by Li Zhong, the Jiedu envoy of Yicheng Town, to guard the palace in Dongdu.

Then Mu Renyu, the envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu, rushed to Luoyang to assist another new deputy envoy, Du Ke, to defend Luoyang.

He also ordered Li Fu, the Jiedu Envoy of Shannan East Road, and Yu Gui, the Jiedu Envoy of Shannan West Road, to select two thousand horses each, and to approach the main roads leading to Ru and Dengzhou.

Then ordered Binning Jiedu Envoy Li Kan and Fengxiang Jiedu Envoy Linghu Chen to draw [-] infantry and [-] cavalry from their respective towns to guard Shanzhou and Tongguan, the east gates of Chang'an. (To be continued.)
