Ge Hong, also known as Zhi Chuan, was the grandnephew of Ge Xuan of the Three Kingdoms and was known as the Little Immortal. He was once conferred the title of Marquis of Guannei and later lived in seclusion in Mount Luofu to refine pills. At the same time, he was also a famous doctor in China during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was the pioneer of preventive medicine and wrote "Behind the Elbow", which recorded the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases such as smallpox and chigger.
Ge Hong's wife, Bao Gu, was the daughter of the Governor of Nanhai, Bao Jing. She was also a famous doctor. She had followed her husband for a long time to refine pills and practice medicine in Mount Luofu, treating the people and benefiting the people. Therefore, the people of Lingnan respectfully called her "Bao Gu".
Bao Gu practiced medicine and gathered herbs, and her footprints were all over Guangzhou, Nanhai, Huiyang, Boluo, and other places. Her medical skills were excellent and meticulous. She was good at acupuncture and was famous for treating tumors and warts. After Bao Gu's death, the people of Lingnan commemorated her contribution to the medical industry and built a shrine to Bao Gu in the Sanyuan Palace at the foot of Yuexiu Mountain in Guangzhou.
Therefore, the Ge Family that Ge Qingyue belonged to could be called a super medical family!
However, Li Zexuan found it a little strange. With the Ge family's background, even after several hundred years, they shouldn't have let Ge Qingyue, a young miss who had never done any household chores, apply for a job at the joint medical center, right? Could there be a story in between?
Shaking his head, Li Zexuan left the medical center and went home. He still had to go to the palace to see Li Er, so he had to go home and change his clothes.
"Greetings, Marquis!"
Just as he stepped into the gate, a person came from the front yard and bowed to Li Zexuan.
"Yo! Brother Zhang, why are you here? "
Li Zexuan was slightly surprised.
The person who came was none other than the blacksmith of the workshop, Zhang Hongsheng.
"Marquis! This Zhang is here today to return the sword. Thank you, Marquis, for trusting this Zhang and being willing to lend the Wind Chasing Sword to my father. Now that three days have passed, this Zhang will return the Wind Chasing Sword intact! "
Zhang Hongsheng raised the sword above his head and bowed to Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan nodded and took the Wind Chasing Sword. After a cursory inspection, he said, "It's just a small matter. You don't have to be so polite! I wonder if your father is satisfied with my Wind Chasing Sword? "
"Satisfied, satisfied!"
Zhang Hongsheng nodded his head and said, "After my father saw the Wind Chasing Sword, he was shocked by it and even wanted to reforge the Nine Raven Swords. However, my father knew that he was too old and could not afford to reforge the sword, so he could only give up! My father admires Marquis's honorable master, Spiritual Master Daoist Lingxu. I only regret not being able to meet him personally back then! "
Li Zexuan laughed and said, "Haha! Your father's swordsmithing technique is something that few people in the world can match. This Marquis admires your father very much and will definitely pay a visit to him in the future! "
It was inevitable that the workshop would run into some technical problems in the future. It was not a bad thing to establish a good relationship with a famous blacksmith like Zhang Jujiu!
Zhang Hongsheng quickly cupped his hands and said, "This Zhang looks forward to Marquis's arrival! Now that the sword has been returned, this Zhang will return to the workshop to forge weapons and armor for Marquis! Oh, by the way, on the way here, this Zhang heard from Steward Fu that the hydraulic stamping machine in the workshop has been completed. It should be ready for use now. Marquis, the plate armor you designed should be ready soon! "
Hearing this, Li Zexuan's eyes lit up. He said with a face full of joy, "Oh ~? The hydraulic press machine has been completed? Then do you know how Ink Girl's electric motor is? "
"Uh … this …"
Zhang Hongsheng said awkwardly, "Marquis, this Zhang is not very familiar with Ink Girl, so I don't know …"
Mo Lingwei might be chatting and laughing with Li Zexuan, Yan Shaoning and the rest, but in front of outsiders, she was cold and unapproachable. It was said that this girl wanted to maintain the dignity of a Yanhuang College professor, so Zheng Hongsheng was "innocently implicated"!
Li Zexuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and waved his hand, "Alright then! Go do your work! As for the electric motor, I will personally go to the workshop and ask Ink Girl! "
"Yes! Marquis! "
…
After hanging the Chasing Wind Sword on the sword rack at home, Li Zexuan changed into a set of court clothes with the help of Xiao He and Xiao Xi. Then, he rode on Big White and left with Pang Feiji and a few other guards.
Currently, the roads in Lantian County were being upgraded. The original bluestone roads were being changed into cement roads. In order to avoid traffic jams due to the road construction, County Magistrate He chose to construct the roads in sections. This way, the construction speed could be guaranteed and it would not affect the people's travel as much as possible.
After leaving the county, he rode his horse all the way to Chang 'an City. It was only nine o' clock in the morning, so the weather was not too hot. Therefore, the journey was very refreshing!
"Eh? Little Xuan? You're done with the morning court, what are you doing here? "
Coincidentally, when he arrived at the entrance of the Imperial City, he bumped into the civil and military officials who had just finished their morning court. Cheng Yaojin's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw Li Zexuan who had just dismounted from his horse. He quickly walked in front of Li Zexuan and laughed.
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Qin, did you guys just finish your morning court?"
Li Zexuan smiled and greeted them.
"Yes! Little Xuan, you came to the palace today because you have something to ask His Majesty, right? "
Qin Qiong nodded and asked with a smile.
"Yes! It's about Yanhuang College's medical school. There are some things that I need His Majesty's opinion on! "
Li Zexuan replied.
"Then hurry up and go! Don't delay the important matters! "
Qin Qiong was much more serious than Cheng Yaojin. When he heard that Li Zexuan had important matters to discuss with Li Er, he quickly moved aside and said.
"Yes! Eh? Uncle Yan? "
Li Zexuan nodded and was about to leave when he saw Yan Lide walking towards him. He suddenly remembered that he had tested Mo Huai a few days ago, so he quickly took the initiative to greet him.
"Yes! Little Xuan! Are you going to the palace to see His Majesty? "
Li Zexuan was the leader of the younger generation in the Tang Empire, and Yan Lide had a very good impression of him. Hearing this, he revealed a kind smile and said.
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "There are some things that I need to see His Majesty about, but I also want to congratulate Uncle Yan today!"
"Congratulate? This is for no reason. What's there to congratulate me for ~? "
Yan Lide was a little confused when he heard this and asked doubtfully.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Uncle Yan, you're too involved to see clearly! What I mean is that I should be able to attend Shaoning's wedding soon ~! "
"Wedding? Heh! Old Yan, is that kid of yours getting married? Not kind! You're too unkind, old man! You didn't even inform me of such a happy event. Are you afraid that I'll drink your family dry? "
Not far away, Cheng Yaojin heard this and immediately stopped moving forward. Then, he turned around and walked over quickly, pointing at Yan Lide and teasing him.
Yan Lide was still in a daze at this moment. When he heard Old Cheng talking non-stop, he immediately said impatiently, "Alright, alright! Cheng Zhijie, stop messing around! I don't even know what's going on! Little Xuan, are you saying that Shaoning is getting married? As his father, how can I not know anything about this? "
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Yan is busy with official business all day long, so it's normal for you to neglect these small matters. However, it's rare for Shaoning to find a good marriage. Uncle Yan, you have to seize the opportunity for Shaoning! Alright, I won't talk about it anymore. I'm going in to see His Majesty! Goodbye! "
After saying that, Li Zexuan didn't care about Yan Lide's dumbfounded expression. He cupped his hands and walked toward the palace gate.
…
"Brother Little Xuan? You're in the palace? "
As soon as he entered the palace and walked across the arch bridge in front of Taiji Palace, he heard a pleasant female voice shouting beside him.
Li Zexuan paused and looked to the right. He saw Changle, who was wearing a pink dress, walking towards him.
"Changle? Oh, greetings, Your Highness ~! "
Seeing the fairy-like Changle, Li Zexuan was immediately in a good mood and wanted to greet her. However, remembering that this was the imperial palace and that there were many eyes, he promptly stopped and saluted.
Changle knitted her brows, somewhat reproachfully saying, "Brother Little Xuan, we haven't seen each other for so long. Why are you treating Changle like a stranger?"
Li Zexuan had always treated Changle as his own younger sister. As an elder brother, who would be willing to salute his younger sister every day? Hearing this, he whispered, "This is the imperial palace. This subject naturally has to be cautious and respectful."
"Oh ~!"
Hearing this, Changle instantly understood. Only then did she feel a little better. She made an "oh" sound and said, "Then Brother Xiaoxuan, did you enter the palace this time to see my Imperial Father?"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "That's right!"
Changle happily said, "That's perfect! I also have matters to discuss with my Imperial Father. Brother Little Xuan, let's go together ~! "
"Mm ~!"
Li Zexuan thought it over and did not refuse, nodding his head.
…
"Your Imperial Majesty, Princess Changle requests an audience!"
In the Sweet Dew Palace Hall, Li Er had not been seated for long after the morning court session when an eunuch entered and bowed.
"Oh? Changle? Quickly let her in! "
Li Er had just finished the morning court session and was originally somewhat tired. Hearing that his most beloved daughter had arrived, he immediately became spirited and hurriedly replied.
Who knew that the eunuch would say, "Your Imperial Majesty, the Marquis of Yong 'an is also outside the hall, requesting an audience ~!"
"Mm? Why did that fellow think of meeting Us today? Let him in ~! "
Hearing this, Li Er's eyebrows trembled slightly as he spoke.
Speaking of which, ever since Li Zexuan had entered the palace to ask for brass after the construction of the hydroelectric dam in Lantian County, Li Er had not seen Li Zexuan for quite some time.
Without Li Zexuan causing trouble in Chang 'an, Li Er felt that it was lacking a lot of fun.
"Changle pays respects to Imperial Father ~!"
"This subject Li Zexuan pays respects to Your Imperial Majesty!"
Not long after, Changle and Li Zexuan walked in from outside the hall and bowed to Li Er.
"Mm! Dispense with the formalities! Changle, quickly come to Imperial Father ~! "
Li Er replied with a faint "mm" before hurriedly beckoning to Changle.
This completely different treatment also proved how important Changle was in Li Er's heart.
Changle responded with a smile and then walked cheerfully to Li Er's side.
Li Er lightly patted Changle's shoulder before looking at Li Zexuan and asking, "Marquis of Yong 'an, you came to the palace to meet Us. Do you have something to report?"
Li Zexuan secretly curled his lips as he thought to himself, Your Imperial Majesty has finally thought of me!
He stepped forward and clasped his hands together before saying, "Your Imperial Majesty, the workshop has already made a breakthrough in the weapons and armor that you asked me to upgrade for the Black Armored Army. In a few days, Your Imperial Majesty will be able to see the incomparably sharp vanadium steel horse lance and the world's number one defensive vanadium steel plate armor!"
This was the art of speaking. First, talk about the good news to make Li Er happy. Then, talk about the matter of girls entering the school. This was the only way to get a better result.
Hearing this, Li Er was indeed delighted. He stood up and said, "Vanadium steel horse lance? Vanadium steel plate armor? That means that your workshop can already produce vanadium steel?
Previously, Li Zexuan had told him that vanadium steel had superior performance compared to ordinary steel. This was why he asked Li Zexuan to create a batch of vanadium steel weapons and armor for the Black Armored Army, the Tang Empire's most elite cavalry. Now that he heard that the weapons and armor were about to be completed, Old Li was naturally excited.
Li Zexuan clasped his hands together and said, "Your Imperial Majesty, the workshop has not only mastered the method of smelting vanadium steel, but also a new type of forging technology. It is because of this technology that we can create the world's number one plate armor. This plate armor is difficult for ordinary swords and arrows to penetrate. It can greatly reduce the death rate of our Tang Empire's cavalry!"
Li Er couldn't help but ask curiously, "From what I heard, you seem to be very confident in this plate armor. You actually dare to say that its defense is number one in the world?"
"Your Imperial Majesty, I am not boasting. Not only is the defense of this plate armor far superior to the Mingguang Armor, it is also lighter than the Mingguang Armor. In about three to five days, this plate armor will be completed. At that time, Your Imperial Majesty will know when you see it!"
Li Zexuan said confidently.
Who gave him such confidence? Of course, it was the workshop's advanced production technology!
Li Er nodded and said, "Good! Then let's wait for the plate armor to be completed! If it is really as you said, I will definitely reward you handsomely! "
"Thank you, Your Imperial Majesty!"
Li Zexuan said his thanks. Then, he pondered for a moment and bowed, "Your Imperial Majesty, I have another matter to report to Your Imperial Majesty!"
"What is it? Let me hear it! "
Li Er was still immersed in the plate armor that Li Zexuan said had the world's number one defense. Hearing this, he nodded and said.
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said, "Your Imperial Majesty, I have planned to establish a medical school in Yanhuang College a long time ago to spread medicine and benefit the people. A few days ago, I spread the enrollment notice of the medical school to the people of all provinces and counties through Datang Daily. Unexpectedly, many women went to Datang Daily to sign up. After they were rejected, they unwillingly surrounded the office of Datang Daily, claiming that they wanted an explanation!"
Hearing this, Li Er, who was sitting at the head of the table, said in a deep voice, "I have heard about this matter. You can just send some people to send these women away. Why do you need to discuss it with me?"
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "Your Imperial Majesty, that is not what I meant. I want to ask Your Imperial Majesty. Since the Imperial Medical Department can recruit female students every year, can the Yanhuang College's medical school also recruit female students?"
Hearing this, Li Er and Changle's faces were filled with surprise. The Ganlu Palace suddenly became quiet. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop!
