"You will stay in Zhuangzi tonight. You can leave after changing the bandages tomorrow. Come back two days later."
Li Yi spoke to the child. The child called Gao Ju.
Li Yi cut a small hole in the bandage on the child's face. Then, he removed the pus and blood and put in a deep-fried dough stick, which was the drainage strip.
If the drainage strip was put in, the wound would not heal. If there was fluid, it would flow out along the drainage strip.
He put a piece of gauze on the outside. If the pus and blood continued to flow, it would flow onto the gauze.
After one night, the pus and blood should leak out from the gauze. He would change the drainage strip depending on the situation.
If there was no suture, there would be a small scar. It would not be obvious and the child could continue to grow. When he grew up, it would not be obvious.
There was no need for tetanus or intravenous drips. He just needed to drink a dose of Chinese medicine.
For such a small surgery, the standard of the doctors in Lantian County was not good enough. They were afraid of leaving a scar.
"Brother Dongzhu, I did not bring my books." The child felt much better after the bandage on his face was removed.
There was a sense of pressure with the bandage. His face and temples hurt for half a day.
"I will find someone to teach you. Let's see how far you have learned." Li Yi's voice was gentle. What a good child. He knew how to learn.
"Will I eat at the canteen tonight?" The child was looking forward to it. He had only heard that the food in the Li Family Zhuangzi canteen was good, but he had never eaten it.
"You can't eat irritating food. You can eat … pork and cabbage dumplings. Don't eat garlic. Eat a piece of braised lean meat."
Li Yi decided on what to eat first. He was afraid that the child would eat chives, fish, broad beans, chili, green onions, ginger, garlic and other things.
It was not only for the wound. The prescribed Chinese medicine also could not allow the child to eat these things.
The child nodded vigorously. He could eat anything. As long as he ate in the Li Family Zhuangzi canteen, he would be able to boast to his friends when he went back.
"The people from the Japanese Empire are here? What do you think? "Li Yi asked Gao Ju.
"There are also people wearing hemp clothes. There are also some people who can't understand us." The child replied.
"The people wearing hemp clothes might be monks. They can't understand us … At least they know how to write and have some skills in a certain field.
Li Yi said as he packed up.
"Dongzhu -gege, did the people from the Japanese Empire come to study in the Tang dynasty?" The child wanted to touch the spot where there was a bump before, but he stopped.
"Yes, they'll learn anything. As long as it's better than them, they'll try their best to learn it." Li Yi nodded.
"Don't teach them. What if they turn around and beat us when they learn it?" The child had his own ideas.
"Alright, you should focus on nurturing him. However, there were many things that could not be kept secret. They could still learn them.
For example, new papermaking technology, farming technology, ships, rails, sleds, silage, bean worm farming, stall rental, business tax, and so on. "
Li Yi revealed a helpless expression. The current Tang dynasty was especially good to the Japanese Empire.
The previous few times the Japanese Empire had come to visit the imperial court, they had been warmly welcomed by the local prefectures and even sent people to escort them.
The people of the Japanese Empire did not have to pay for anything. It seemed that this was the only way to show the style of the Tang dynasty.
This time, Ren Baqian had informed them in advance, so they did not dare to be extravagant in Luoyang.
The problem now was whether or not they could ask the envoys of the Japanese Empire for money. For example, they could not ask for money for food and accommodation in the Four Quarters Embassy.
However, if they wanted gunpowder, guns, hot air balloons, parachutes, propellers, ink production, money printing, and other technologies, Ren Baqian would definitely not give them to them.
If any of the officials in the imperial court were generous, he would let them research and teach them to the people of the Japanese Empire.
"Then what should we do?" The child acted as if his toys were about to be snatched away.
"Some things might not be useful even if they were learned. We can help the Japanese Empire make money." Li Yi finished packing and pulled the child out.
"Give them money?" The child was unhappy again.
"Help them make paper money. Copper coins are heavy and inconvenient to carry. If they bring over copper coins worth ten copper coins, we can print twenty copper coins worth of Kazunokai.
The Japanese Empire's Kazunokai is our Tang dynasty's Kaiyuan Tongbao. One Kaiyuan Tongbao is one copper coin, and ten Kaiyuan Tongbao are one tael. "
Li Yi thought of an idea. If he helped others print paper money, he would get a 50% discount.
The child could not understand why others would give him ten copper coins worth of copper coins, but he would print twenty copper coins worth of coupons for others.
The Li Family Zhuangzi coupons he used were better than the Kaiyuan Tongbao. Those who had Kaiyuan Tongbao would take their copper coins to the Li Family Zhuangzi and exchange them for coupons.
"Because printing money does not use the actual amount of money. If you print one copper coin worth of coupons, you can print ten thousand, and you will spend less than two thousand copper coins."
Li Yi explained patiently.
"Are you saying that the coupons I take are not worth one copper coin?" The child reacted quickly.
"They are worth it. The Li Family Zhuangzi can print as many coupons as they have." Li Yi explained again.
"I don't understand. Anyway, Gege Dongzhu, you can do as you see fit. We can't lose out." The child scratched his head.
"Yes, we can't lose out." Li Yi brought Gao Ju to the canteen.
He instructed the staff to make dumplings separately and not to put too much spicy seasoning in the filling.
… …
At this time, the Japanese Empire's delegation entered Chang 'an City. They first went to the Four Quarters Embassy to put away their things. They took out the things that they wanted to present to Li Longji.
There was a banquet tonight, so they quickly went to take a bath.
They changed into the clothes they brought. They would be living in the Tang Dynasty for a while.
Takagi Junichiro, Abenaka Maru, Fujiwara Ma Yang, and Shimichi Shimichi soaked in the same pool.
"On the way here, I saw the Tang Dynasty building a new relay station. It is said that there is a relay station every ten miles. Does the Tang Dynasty have the money to maintain it?"
Abenaka Maru shouldered a heavy responsibility. He wanted to know the situation of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible.
Takagi Junichiro's expression was serious. "Yes, the Tang Dynasty collects business taxes. The Tang Dynasty newspapers are distributed in various places.
There are also letters and postal services. They get money from them. In addition, the Li Family Zhuangzi, Li Yi, has a way to arrange it. I'm not sure about the details. "
"The Li Family Zhuangzi. I've always heard about him since I arrived in the Tang Dynasty. It was even more so when I arrived in Luoyang. It was hard to believe what others said.
It was said that the Li Family Zhuangzi of the Chang 'an City could earn a lot of money every day. He had so much money that he could give it out for free.
It was also said that the Dongzhu of the Zhuangzi could bring the dead back to life. He had published hundreds of medical books. He could save and kill people with a single thought.
It was said that he had created many things that were beneficial to the people, such as short-shaft plows, plows, earthworms, threshers, and flour grinders. Did you know that in Chang 'an City? "
Fujiwara Ma Yang asked. He didn't believe that anyone could be so powerful.
Otherwise, why would his country send 557 people? Everyone had their own specialties.
Takagi Junichiro looked at the three people and nodded helplessly. "It's true. In fact, Li Yi has learned far more than that. He … "
Takagi Junichiro began to introduce Li Yi, the things Li Yi had created, and the methods he had provided.
The more Shinbei Shimodo and the others listened, the more confused they became. They felt that it was even more frightening than what they had heard on the road.
Burning cement, growing cotton, new textile machines, designing rails, building a water network, and building ships and another type of faster boat.
The Yellow River Hukou Waterfall used land boats, hot-air balloons, and parachutes to prevent falling from the sky.
There were also gunpowder, kerosene lamps, thermos bottles, soap that were not allowed for civilian use …
There were many, many things. It seemed that there was nothing Li Yi couldn't do. It just depended on whether he wanted to take them out.
