The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Emperor Hongzhi looked over and saw that this boy had just been promoted to the imperial censor of the capital, and yet he dared to contradict me.

This kind of prescription should be promoted all over the world. Li Dongyang and others thought about it carefully for a long time, but they didn't realize there was anything wrong with it.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly and continued: "Qingwan was developed by Wang Ji. According to the newly promulgated patent law of the Ming Dynasty, it belongs to Wang Ji and cannot be implemented.

Secondly, there will definitely be a large-scale purchase of Qingpeng in the market, which will not only increase the price of the drug, but also make Qingpeng a rare commodity. "

In later generations, similar prescriptions were not protected by patents.

The reason why Yan Chengjin was included in the special law was to establish a credible Huimin Pharmacy in the Ming Dynasty to represent the imperial court.

If the prescription is spread, it will definitely cause drug shops to compete for raw materials.

Not only cannot it be promoted, but it will also increase drug prices.

The Huimin Pharmacy sells them everywhere, which can not only ensure that the price does not rise, but also gradually establish credibility and encourage people to come to the pharmacy for medical treatment.

Establish a complete medical system in Ming Dynasty.

Even in later generations, there is no way to develop a prescription and share it with everyone.

Liu Jiandao: "It makes some sense. Uncle Chang Ning will definitely stock up on medicine."

The anger on Emperor Hongzhi's face disappeared and he looked at Wang Ji: "The prescription belongs to the imperial court. What does Doctor Wang think?"

After listening to Yan Chengjin's words, I felt that this prescription should not be handed over to the gentry and common people.

Wang Ji bowed slightly: "It's not a student's property at all. It's at your Majesty's disposal."

Yan Chengjin hesitated for a moment and raised his head slightly: "Your Majesty, what about the money earned from this prescription?"

"The imperial court and Huimin Pharmacy, 40% of the tax will be attributed to the imperial court, and the rest is at your disposal." Emperor Hongzhi said without hesitation.

Your Majesty was afraid that he didn't know how profitable selling medicine would be, so he gave up 60%.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "I obey your order."

News of his promotion to the position of censor of the capital was spread to the Ministry of Personnel, who entered it into the roster and supervised the production of official uniforms.

Ma Wensheng was a little surprised when he heard the news.

This son was promoted to the imperial censor of the capital.

When Zhang Sheng returned to the mansion, he was too frightened to enter.

"You...what are you doing!"

The butler trembled and came up to us: "Young ones don't know. They didn't say anything, they just wanted to give away money."

Is this a bribe?

Otherwise, how could there be such a good thing in the world? It would be thousands of taels of free money, right?

It was enough to buy the Zhang Mansion. The housekeeper was so frightened that he saw the master coming back and hurriedly came to greet him.

Zhang Sheng angrily scolded Wang Busui: "When will I recognize you? Take your money and get out of my mansion. I will not take bribes."

Wang Busui was asking his servants to open the wooden boxes and count them one by one in the courtyard.

I was originally given five thousand taels of silver, but I felt extremely distressed.

I gave away my money for nothing but was rejected by others. I felt so aggrieved that I wanted to die.

He forced a smile and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, it's not a bribe. Do you still remember Liangxiang's Gaozhao Chemistry Award? I'm here to fulfill my promise."

If Master Yan hadn't forced him, he wouldn't have come to give the money.

Isn't this a fool?

Wang Ji received 20,000 taels, and Hu Dalong and Zhang Yuanxi each received 5,000 taels, for a total of 30,000 taels of silver.

Although the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money, it still hurts to give it to others for nothing.

Zhang Sheng was surprised: "The Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce is really generous."

"Master Yan misunderstood. Master Yan said that he must keep his promise, so he sent the little one." Wang Busui grimaced.

All the money earned by Huimin Pharmacy was lost here, and I don’t know what Master Yan meant.

He didn't dare to disobey anyway.

When Jiang saw so much money, her eyes shone and she hurriedly persuaded Zhang Sheng to accept it.

"I want to report it to Your Majesty first to see if it can be accepted."

There is no such precedent since ancient times, so Zhang Sheng wonders if he can accept it.

…

The blue sea waves were undulating constantly, and a huge six-masted ship landed on the shore.

When Shang Zhen returned to Ryukyu, he encountered two groups of pirates. Their fleets were not large, and both were sunk by hired guards.

The big ship landed at the pier of the chicken coop, and the group mounted their horses and returned to Shuri Castle two days later.

Shang Zhen put on the Ming Dynasty-style leather bean hat uniform, which was majestic and inviolable.

Wang Shouren also wore the imperial court's fifth-grade imperial robe and stood in the main hall.

Ryukyu ministers were separated on two sides. The palace was much smaller than Fengtian Palace and seemed a bit crowded.

I heard that King Shangzhen personally went to the Ming Dynasty to borrow troops, but only brought back one person.

Is this the person?

The ministers looked at Wang Shouren in surprise and saw nothing extraordinary about him.

"Your Majesty, how dare you attack the Satsuma Kingdom like this? It's better to recover Kume Island first and recharge your batteries before planning."

"The Ming Dynasty does not send troops. We alone have only ten thousand people."

It was a little noisy in the hall.

On the way back, Shang Zhen had already thought carefully about the fact that Ryukyu was not yet a rival to Satsuma.

He raised his hand and pressed it, then looked at Wang Shouren: "When does Mr. Wang want to send troops?"

The air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The ministers were a little panicked, not expecting that His Majesty was determined to attack Satsuma Kingdom.

We are not afraid of attacking Satsuma alone, but we are afraid that Satsuma will get help from island countries and Japanese pirates. These are the three forces.

At least thirty thousand people!

Wang Shouren's expression remained normal and he bowed slightly: "Your Majesty must have seen the map and Ryukyu's military equipment before you can give an answer to King Shangzhen."

The Ming Emperor and the mysterious minister highly praised him, but Shang Zhen was always puzzled.

After returning from a sailing trip in the past two months, he observed carefully and found that the scholar would occasionally be in a daze, write books, stand on the deck, and tell sailors the principles of life, and he never tired of it.

Others are just like ordinary readers, nothing special.

Talking about war on paper can kill people.

Shang Zhen put it aside, his face as calm as usual: "Just follow the order of the king, Dong Qing's family passed it down, and take the king to inspect the military camp."

Wang Shouren moved slightly and left the hall.

In front of the Ming envoy, they did not dare to offend him, for fear of offending the Ming court.

After Wang Shouren left the hall, the ministers of Ryukyu exploded.

"Your Majesty, this man is wearing a red robe of a civil official, how can he fight a war, how can he not be a military general?"

"He looks like a weak scholar. I heard that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, except Wang Yue, can't fight a war."

They heard a little about the battle in which Wang Yue defeated Dayan Khan.

Shang Zhen snorted coldly and said unhappily: "You think the king doesn't know! Let's see how he arranges it. Whether there will be a war or not, we will know in three days."

In two days, Dong Wen took Wang Shouren to visit the camp and check the military preparations.

After reading the map, Wang Shouren had a rough idea of ​​Ryukyu's military preparations.

No wonder King Shang Zhen traveled thousands of miles to the Ming Dynasty to borrow troops. Ryukyu's military strength was too weak and backward.

"Lord Wang, do you know the king's difficulties?"

"I am here on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, and I will naturally help you win this battle."

Dong Wen shook his head helplessly and did not answer. Young people just like to show off.

King Shang Zhen looked at Wang Shouren and said, "Lord Wang, have you read it? What plan do you have? How should we fight?"

The ministers focused their eyes and examined Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren said calmly: "Directly attack Satsuma, the sooner the better."

Satsuma is the farthest from Ryukyu and has a strong military force. There are also forces like Kume Island around it, and he actually said to attack Satsuma directly.

The ministers' pupils shrank suddenly. This scholar really doesn't know how to fight!

King Shang Zhen came to the same conclusion as the ministers.

The correct strategy should be to attack Kume Island first.

For the sake of the Ming court's face, he smiled: "Why do we have to attack Satsuma directly?"

"Warfare is a tricky way. If we use the right tactics and the unexpected tactics, we may win." Wang Shouren continued: "Ryukyu's military strength is not strong to begin with. If we attack Kume Island, we will lose the military strength and there will be no hope of victory."

There was a long silence in the hall.

Although what he said made sense, this move was very risky.

"What if Kume Island also took the opportunity to attack?"

"They will only wait for our army and Satsuma to be defeated, and will not send troops rashly." Wang Shouren looked as if he had expected it, with a firm expression.

A doctor Yonglu asked: "How do you know?"

"I guessed it."

King Shangzhen looked slightly disappointed. This move was too risky.

If the attack on Satsuma failed, it would be divided by Kume Island.

In other words, it must win, otherwise, the country will be destroyed.

"Your Majesty, think it over and tell me."

Wang Shouren left the hall with Yan Chengjin's letter in his arms.

Given Brother Gao's personality, this must be the key strategy to victory.

But he didn't plan to open it yet.
