Liu Zhirou successfully came back to life. After seeing Old Man Pi and the other two people, she began to say that she had gone to another place. Time passed very slowly, as if she was recalling her entire life.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also heard these words, but the two of them absolutely did not believe that they had gone to another place. The two of them came from another place, and at that time, they directly lost all of their senses in an instant.
The moment they opened their eyes, they were already in another world. It was very magical. The two of them also discussed whether this was in line with science or not.
The final conclusion was that it was not in line with science in a narrow sense, but in line with science in a broad sense. The two of them defined science in a narrow sense as science based on existing scientific theories, and defined science in a broad sense as science that required research and exploration.
The unknown did not mean that it was not scientific, but that the research had not reached that point. As for what Old Man Liu said about time passing slowly, it was because the mind was too fast.
Under the situation of lack of oxygen, the human body's oxygen supply would try to supply oxygen to the brain, and for a certain period of time, the mind would be more agile.
"Yuanzhi, guess what I saw at that time?" Liu Zhirou laid on the bed and asked Old Man Yao.
How would Old Man Yao know? He shook his head in confusion, wanting to hear more information from Liu Zhirou's mouth.
Not only him, Old Man Pi, Old Man Chang, and Zhang Xiaobao's two people were all in front of the bed listening, hoping to understand what was going on in the underworld.
Without waiting for Liu Zhirou to speak, Zhang Xiaobao said from the side, "Grandpa Liu, at that time, did you feel that time passed very slowly, and then it seemed that the surrounding things were very close to you, but also very far away, and then there were stars in front of you, as if you were in a vast starry sky?
When you woke up, you felt that your whole body was numb, even your neck was numb, your hand was still trembling in Weiwei's hand, and the distant scenery and sounds came back to you? "
"Yes, yes, that's right. Xiao Bao, how did you know?" Liu Zhirou was stunned, then nodded fiercely.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled a little and didn't explain. Wang Juan continued, "Grandpa Liu, did you find that after you felt numb for a while, you found that your breathing was very comfortable, as if it had just rained in summer and there was a gentle breeze?"
"Yes, yes, that's right. Don't tell me you know what hell is like?" Liu Zhirou was even more surprised.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't say anything else. They turned around and left together, leaving the four old men puzzled.
They were the only ones who were puzzled, but the others were not. The members of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family, as well as the people in the Inner Yard, 'understood' what was going on.
The more they understood, the more they couldn't say. After greeting the members of the Zhang Family and Wang Family, they left in a hurry.
"Aiya, Liu Zhirou's life is too good. She was already at the gates of hell, but she was pulled back by Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. It seems that Xiao Bao and Cuckoo went to the gates of hell every now and then. Otherwise, how could they know so clearly? Pulling someone and going there yourself, isn't it different? Use the immortal power that you don't need, right? "
Zhang Zhong said to Jang Wong Clan as he walked.
Jang Wong Clan agreed and said, "No wonder Xiao Bao and Cuckoo made a generator. It's because of this. There's one in our room and we're waiting to use it. Let's go back and try it later and see how it feels to breathe in that place."
"Don't. That's a life-saving thing. Maybe the more you use it, the more harm it will do to Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. Liu Zhirou is going to benefit from it."
Zhang Zhong looked back at Liu Zhirou's ward and said with jealousy.
Not only Zhang Zhong and Jang Wong Clan, but the people in the Inner Yard who served Liu Zhirou also felt that it was not worth saving such a person. Why should they save such a person? Therefore, they were even more humble. In fact, they were looking down on Liu Zhirou. So what if she was a minister? Didn't she still need the help of an immortal?
Some people even whispered in private, "The King of Hell wants people to die at midnight. Little Young Master and Little Young Lady said to stay at midnight."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were also whispering.
"Xiao Bao, what do you think is the cause of this illness? Is it because the food is not good enough? "
"I don't think it has much to do with the food. It's mainly a problem with the occupation. It's an occupational disease. How many people don't have cardiovascular diseases?"
Zhang Xiaobao knew more about this. Although the officials usually looked good, in fact, their bodies were very overdrawn.
The two people slowly walked back to the younger brother and sister's courtyard. Along the way, they talked about the same thing. As for the various reactions, it was very normal. Those who suffered from this illness were basically like this.
When they saw the house and the little guys in it, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly said, "Since many people can suffer from this illness, it's better to sell them special recipes and prepared medicine."
"You want to make money from this? But I think the possibility of you making money is very small. I don't think that so many officials will listen to you and buy it. Do you dare not to give it to them? "
Wang Juan was also a little tempted, but when she considered the various matters in reality, she had no choice but to remind him.
Zhang Xiaobao was still thinking about how much the recipes and medicine could be sold for. When he heard Wang Juan's words, he felt very helpless. Indeed, even if he could produce the medicine to control this illness, he might not be able to sell it for a good price.
However, he was unwilling to give up such a huge profit. After some thought, he said, "How about this? Let's not directly ask the officials if they want to buy the medicine. Instead, we'll specially buy a place in the capital and Luoyang to let others know what this place is selling. Then, we'll tell them the benefits.
Finally, we'll post a notice in front of the shop. On it, some officials can receive a month's worth of medicine for free. Furthermore, we'll deliberately raise the price and let the officials try it first. "
"Then, the officials will be able to buy it?" Wang Juan did not believe that the officials would be willing to buy it just by raising the price.
"Of course, they won't buy it if we let them spend their own money. However, we can use other methods. For example, we can give them vouchers of the same value. Using such vouchers to buy medicine worth ten strings of coins only requires one string of coins. Furthermore, they can receive a gift worth two strings of coins for free.
The cost of this gift is ten strings of coins. It's best if it's something they need in their daily lives, such as vegetable oil or cloth. It allows them to buy the medicine without actually having to pay anything. It can be used to attract other rich people.
Now, we can't earn the officials' money, nor can we earn the government's money like we did in the past. We can only use them to earn the money of others. There are plenty of rich people. Regardless of whether the medicine is really for the illness or not, I believe that rich people will be willing to buy it and use it. The officials will serve as role models. "
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaobao happened to see his sister, Little Bei, wearing a thick down coat, running out of the yard while giggling. As she ran, she looked back and immediately said, "Look, Little Bei and the rest are constantly changing their clothes as their bodies rapidly grow. How can they not save more money?"
"Tsk, don't drag Little Bei into this. How much money can a few children spend? Little Bei, Little Bei, come, come to elder sister. Aiyo, whose clothes did you steal and put on another layer? Be careful not to get hot. "
Wang Juan clapped her hands at Little Bei who had just run out. Little Bei was running in a daze when she heard the sound and turned her head to see Wang Juan. She opened her small arms and looked back nervously while running over with her little legs. When she got closer, Wang Juan discovered that Little Bei actually had an extra layer of clothes on her body. It was bulging like a ball.
*****
Following Liu Zhirou's illness, the restaurant Between the Clouds and Clouds here immediately made a special recipe for her. The news was also sent to Beijing. Between the Clouds and the Water also jointly launched a variety of new dishes specifically for cardiovascular diseases.
Not to mention other aspects, at the very least, the consumption of aged vinegar increased. In a short period of time, several 'vinegar factories' with poor results ushered in spring.
The sales of Pomegranate's wood ears also increased greatly. At the same time, the demand for meat decreased, making the price of meat more stable in Beijing and the surrounding areas.
The people who planted 'greenhouses' were now benefiting. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's operation once again made people feel the power of the tide.
Before the arrival of the New Year, some people were happy, while others were worried. The happy ones were naturally the people who wanted to buy meat and sell vegetables, while the worried ones were the people in the imperial court. Twice, it had already been twice. The prices were actually affected by the Zhang family who was still in Shuzhou.
In fact, the officials also understood that it was them who pushed this matter. If they continued to buy meat in large quantities, the price of meat would not fall. But who told them to be afraid of death? After knowing that Minister Liu almost 'passed out' because he ate too much meat, they all adjusted their diet according to the method of Deyi Hospital.
"It's not that they ate too much meat, but that they usually have too many thoughts. Why didn't they mention this matter? Hypocritical, it's really too hypocritical. "
After Wang Juan received the news five days before the arrival of the New Year, she said to Zhang Xiaobao. "This is not hypocritical.
"This is not hypocrisy, this is the truth. Human nature is like this. Not to mention adults, even children will often use crying methods to achieve their goals. It's almost the new year, and in the next year, the peaches will appear. That will be the moment when the imperial court is truly hypocritical. Let's see where they will arrange for my father."
Zhang Xiaobao seemed a little helpless. Shuzhou was originally an upper province. Except for Beijing and Luoyang, no matter where he was transferred, the best he could do was to be transferred to the same level. His family did not want to go to Beijing, and Old Man Pi and the others in Luoyang were not willing to go either.
According to a good way to put it, it was called experience. They wanted his father to keep changing places. A bad way to put it was to use his father as a tool and arrange for him to do construction in other places. It was a scheme, a scheme against each other.
Arranging his father to other places that needed him was because the imperial court wanted to use their power to increase the rent tax. However, wasn't he using his official position to open a business?
However, this time, he had to carefully study it. Going to Luoyang was an exchange. If they did not agree, then he had to take out the corresponding compensation. He could not just casually arrange it.
Just as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were preparing for the greatest benefits in Zhang San's career, Liu Zhirou, Old Man Pi, and the others, who had already recovered, came looking for him again.
Liu Zhirou, who could no longer rush back for the New Year, decided to spend the New Year in Shuzhou. He had received news from Beijing, so he had no choice but to do it.
"Xiao Bao, are you still playing with Xiaobei and the others?" Old Man Pi really did not want to be the vanguard, but he had no other choice. Who told him to be familiar with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan?
When Zhang Xiaobao heard Old Man Pi's words, he thought of a very old story, the story of Grandmother Wolf. He reached out to touch his head and felt that he did not look like Xiao Hong. Only then did he relax and reply,
"So Grandpa Bi is here. No, I'm not playing. It's cold, so I'm going back to rest. Cuckoo and I will also go to bed early and take an afternoon nap. Grandpa Bi, are you and the others strolling around? Then make sure to keep warm. "
After replying very politely and explaining that he and Wang Juan were going back to sleep, Zhang Xiaobao prepared to immediately go back to his courtyard.
At this time, Old Man Pi sighed and his body trembled twice. After attracting Zhang Xiaobao's gaze, he said, "It's really cold.
"It's really cold. This is still Shuzhou, and it's already so cold. Xiaobao, how cold do you think the capital can be?"
Zhang Xiaobao knew that he could not avoid it. He also realized that as long as he spoke, Old Man Pi would definitely find an excuse. However, he really did not understand. What did the cold in Beijing have to do with this place? Which year was not cold? So what if Beijing was cold? There were even colder places. Did they think that Siberia's cold current was just a decoration?
This time, there was no need for him to speak. Old Man Pi spoke again.
"Xiao Bao, news came from Beijing. It said that suddenly, Yan Zhou became frighteningly cold. Originally, they could still rely on sleighs to transport goods and buy food back. However, this year, all the cows and sheep will probably freeze to death. It is estimated that that place will not recover for a few years.
If it was just the cows and sheep, it would not be a big deal. However, the people there may not be able to survive. Who knows how many people will lose their relatives? Older brothers and sisters will lose younger brothers and sisters, and fathers will lose their children. Pitiful, really pitiful. "
"Grandpa Bi is right. It is indeed pitiful," Zhang Xiaobao could imagine the situation when he heard Old Man Pi's words, so he echoed.
"Xiao Bao, do you think there is any way to make that place warmer?" Old Man Pi asked hopefully.
"No, my family doesn't have that ability." Zhang Xiaobao shook his head vigorously. He might be able to think of a solution to other problems, but when it came to resisting the weather on a large scale, even if he worked together, it would be useless. Who could stop the cold current? What a joke.
Wang Juan looked at Old Man Pi in a daze. She did not know what Old Man Pi was thinking. Why would he ask about such a thing? The difficulty of climbing to the moon a hundred times was not even one-ten-thousandth of the difficulty of stopping the cold current. That was not something a human could do. At least, in the world she knew, it was impossible to do so.
If they wanted to stop the cold current, perhaps there was a way. That was to destroy the ozone layer. When that time came, the ice at the two poles would melt. First, all the people living on the island would be submerged. Then, the coast of the Tang Empire would become an ocean, and the ice and snow on the Himalayas would become a flood. Then, everyone would not have to worry about the cold current when facing the end of the world.
"Is there really no way? What should the people there do? Xiao Bao, why don't you go back and ask. Isn't your father going to Luoyang next time? If … "
"My father isn't going anywhere. He has resigned. Our families will find a small island to live on and live out the rest of our lives in peace. Now, hand over all the prescriptions that you know. Whoever has the ability can stop the cold current. My family is very obedient now. You don't have to think about my family."
Zhang Xiaobao's answer was very straightforward. Other things could be discussed, but this was not something that people should be involved in. If they could not afford to offend it, could they not avoid it?
Old Man Pi did not expect Zhang Xiaobao's reaction to be so intense. In the past, everything could be discussed. What was going on today? Whether it was possible or not, he should go back and ask first.
At this moment, Wang Juan said, "Grandpa Bi, the matter there is not something that can be done by humans. You should change the matter. How about this? My family can come up with something and fly directly from the capital to Lu Zhou. What do you think? Compared to the cold in Yan Province, it's easier to fly. "
"Is it really that difficult? Is there no way? What should the people there do? " Old Man Pi saw that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were no longer as calm as before. In the face of such a situation, it seemed like there was no room for discussion. He asked again in disappointment.
"Since we can't hide, let them come out and hide in the capital. Grandpa Bi, you know about the thermometer, right? If we really encounter a cold climate, the thermometer won't be able to detect anything. There are two ways. One is to let the people there come out and don't wait to freeze to death. The other is to transport coal there. It would be even better if we can find coal there. Burn it as much as we can and don't stop. People will be fine as long as they hide in the house."
Just stay in the house. "Zhang Xiaobao frowned as he thought about the heating. How could he prevent the people there from freezing to death? He could not count on the heating. Perhaps the best way was to use fireplaces and walls.
