Cheng Yaojin stayed home to care for Madam Sun.
Fang Er drove the car, taking Sun Simiao back to the Fang family manor.
Sun Simiao sat in the car, his eyes closed, resting.
He seemed to have no interest in the pickup truck, asking no questions, showing no curiosity. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
This earned Fang Er's admiration from the bottom of his heart.
Truly a master beyond the mortal realm!
When the car stopped at the entrance of the Fang residence.
Fang Er got out of the car and opened the door for Sun Simiao.
"Venerable Sun, please."
Sun Simiao alighted from the car and followed Fang Er into the courtyard.
Li Shimin had already woken up and was speaking with Fang Xuanling. Hearing footsteps, he turned his head.
He quickly rose from his chair.
"Venerable Sun, I trust you are well?"
Sun Simiao bowed his head.
"Thanks to Your Majesty, this old Taoist is still quite robust." kanδん
Clearly, these two knew each other.
Li Shimin gestured to a chair beside him.
"Venerable Sun, please be seated. May I ask why you have come here?"
Sun Simiao stroked his white beard, glanced at Fang Er, and said.
"This young friend has a method to prevent wounds from festering, so this old Taoist has followed him back to witness it."
Li Shimin suddenly remembered.
Cheng Yaojin had mentioned this matter to him before.
However, due to the matter of gunpowder, it had been put aside, and he had subsequently forgotten about it.
Now, with Sun Simiao mentioning it, he finally recalled.
He looked at Fang Er and said.
"You possess such a skill? I too would like to witness it."
Fang Er pointed to Zhang Gongjin, who was still asleep, slumped over the table.
The empty pot of the potent wine they had drunk earlier was still clutched in his arms.
"Your Majesty, the wine we drank earlier will suffice."
"Additionally, there is another medicine that can also prevent wounds from festering, which I obtained by chance."
Having said that, he reached into his懷 and took two capsules of cefixime from his spatial dimension, placing them on the table in front of Sun Simiao.
Sun Simiao ignored the empty pot and picked up the cefixime capsules to examine them carefully.
The capsule, half white and half green, was something he had never seen before.
After examining it for a long time, he couldn't discern anything.
He felt that it was somewhat hollow inside, and gently squeezed it.
The capsule deformed, and a bit of white powder spilled out.
He dipped some with his finger, about to put it into his mouth.
Fang Er quickly stopped him.
"Venerable Sun, no!"
Sun Simiao looked at him with some confusion.
Fang Er asked.
"Venerable Sun, have you been drinking alcohol recently?"
Sun Simiao nodded.
For the people of this era, drinking a little every day was almost a habit.
Fang Er patted his chest.
"Fortunately, I stopped him."
Otherwise, if this cefixime were ingested, even the King of Medicine might be in trouble.
"Venerable Sun, you may not know this, but this medicine, upon encountering alcohol, becomes a deadly poison that kills without a trace."
Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao quickly placed the cefixime back on the table.
"Thank you, young friend, for the reminder."
"Since I cannot taste the medicine, please, young friend, explain the principle behind how this medicine and that wine can prevent wounds from festering."
Fang Er organized his thoughts.
He pulled over a chair and sat down. "May I ask, Venerable Sun, do you know why wounds worsen and fester?"
Sun Simiao said, "Invasion of evil toxins."
Fang Er replied, "Venerable Sun is correct, but this humble one has another explanation."
"That is, it is caused by tiny worms."
"These tiny worms are invisible to the naked eye, but they are living things."
"These tiny worms constantly reproduce in the wound, feeding on the blood and qi, causing the flesh to rot and worsen."
"Tiny worms are everywhere, in the air, in water, in the soil, everywhere."
"This is also why once injured, it is very easy for the wound to fester."
"May I ask, Venerable Sun, what are your thoughts on this explanation from this humble one?"
Li Shimin felt a chill run down his spine after hearing this!
He was surrounded by countless tiny worms?
Sun Simiao pondered for a moment, his brow furrowed.
This was the first time he had heard such an explanation.
So he asked.
"May I inquire if you have a way to prove this, young friend?"
Fang Er said, "Since this humble one dares to speak thus, naturally there is a method of proof."
"However, it will require some time for preparation. If Venerable Sun has no urgent matters, please stay at the manor."
"In a couple of days, when this humble one has made preparations, I will invite Venerable Sun to observe."
Sun Simiao nodded.
"Since that is the case, I will trouble you, young friend, to arrange lodging for this old Taoist."
Fang Er was overjoyed.
As long as he can stay, I don't believe he can leave!
The five refresh opportunities for conquering Xinluo and Baekje have not been used yet.
Currently, there is still the monthly automatic refresh and three manual refreshes.
Nine times, as long as one of them can yield a medical book, hehe!
As for technical geeks, I have the most say!
Sun Simiao was led away by Xiao Qing.
To the side courtyard, which had always been empty.
It was just being tidied up for him.
Li Shimin had not spoken the whole time, he had just listened.
Mainly because he couldn't interject even if he wanted to.
He truly didn't understand this matter.
After Sun Simiao left, he looked at Fang Er and asked.
"How did you and Venerable Sun meet?"
Fang Er recounted the incident of Cheng Yaojin's wife fainting.
After Li Shimin listened, he immediately called in the Imperial Guards stationed outside the courtyard.
"Go to the Imperial Hospital and fetch some medicine to replenish qi and blood to send to Duke Lu."
After the guard left, Li Shimin looked at Fang Er.
"Is it true, as you said, that these tiny worms are everywhere?"
Fang Er nodded.
"Indeed, it is true. However, Your Majesty need not worry."
"As long as good habits are maintained, wash hands before meals and after defecation, and do not drink raw water."
Only then did Li Shimin relax, and he said to Fang Xuanling.
"Duke Fang, next, let's discuss the matter of the silver mountain."
Fang Xuanling nodded, looking expectantly at Fang Er.
"Marquis of Liaodong, can that silver mountain truly be mined for hundreds of years as Your Majesty claims? How did you come to know this?"
Fang Er said with a smile.
"It was what King Rongliu said before he died, and Jin Bofan of Xinluo also mentioned it."
"Since the two of them said the same thing, it is unlikely to be unfounded."
Dead people are the best candidates to take the blame.
Fang Xuanling became excited.
Li Shimin had already explained Fang Er's words to him once before.
But he still wanted to get Fang Er's confirmation again.
At this moment, his feelings were like a person who had been starving for a long time suddenly seeing a delicious roast chicken!
"Your Majesty, your humble servant agrees to dispatch troops!"
Li Shimin looked at Fang Er.
"What is your opinion?"
Fang Er, however, shook his head.
"Your Majesty, crossing the vast ocean makes it impossible to transport warhorses, so it is best to send the Army for Eliminating Barbarians to go."
"Or, it would not be too late to go after the Victorious Army has been trained."
"That silver mountain is there, it won't run away whether it's a day earlier or later."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment.
"Then let the Army for Eliminating Barbarians go!"
"They will set sail directly from Xinluo and march all the way to that silver mountain!"
"Anyone who dares to obstruct me from taking the silver mountain will be killed without mercy!"
After speaking, he looked at Fang Er again.
"This time, you will go!"
Following the previous precedent, I will cover the military expenses for your Heavenly Fire Army!
You will also lead the Army for Eliminating Barbarians of Liaodong!
As you are engaged to Yue'er, you will naturally have to assist Duke of Qiao in his affairs.
The reform of the Army for Eliminating Barbarians will also be entrusted to you.
Whatever expenses are needed, draw them directly from the Ministry of Revenue.
Make preparations, and submit a plan to me later!"
