I am the king of the dead

According to the past, Beizhen Fusi had a kind of torture device, which was to take out ice cubes from the ice cellar and let the woman sit on it naked. It only took a moment for the woman to confess clearly.

That kind of ice sting is not something women can bear, and few men can also bear it.

Daming's interrogation process has become more and more perfect, and now Daming does not need such physical torture tools at all.

Lu Zhong personally escorted the prisoner to the east gate of Mixiang in the eastern suburb of Taiyuan Hospital.

"See nobleman Ran." When Lu Zhong led the prisoner to the gate of hell, what he saw was Ran Siniang who was on duty in the Xiejiaoyuan.

When Lu Zhong saw Ran Siniang's warm and indifferent smile, his scalp tingled for a while.

How can you be so indifferent when you are on duty in Jieyuan?

"Is this the culprit this time?" Ran Siniang signaled to the two medical apprentices to lead Yang Wan into the Jiefang Hospital.

When Yang Wan left the gate of hell again, she was carried out.

Her legs were weak and she couldn't stand.

Not to mention that Yang Wan is a weak woman, even Lu Zhong's legs trembled when he first entered Jieyuan.

Not bloody, but that kind of calm.

Yang Wan was carried up with her limbs weak, and shouted hoarsely, "Don't touch me! I don't want to be released! Let me go!"

"Female Shura! Ah, it's Shura!"

Lu Zhong stepped forward and knocked Yang Wan unconscious. If he didn't faint again, nothing would come out of the interrogation.

The wind blowing from Xieyuyuan is full of coolness. This place has made important contributions to the progress of Ming Dynasty's medicine, but Lu Zhong still dare not enter here.

This round of Ran Siniang's work at the Xie Jie Yuan was over, she packed up her personal belongings, left Jie Jie Yuan, got into a sedan chair, and went straight to the lecture hall.

His Majesty has his own dormitory in the Martial Arts Lecture Hall, and Mrs. Wen has counted the days. Today is a good day. She has been with His Majesty for three years, and the Emperor is very fond of her, but her stomach is still not up to date.

His Majesty is busy with state affairs, Ran Siniang has to see the needles, and take the initiative to fight for opportunities.

When Ran Siniang arrived, it was already dusk, and the lime blowtorch in the imperial study had already been turned on, obviously His Majesty was still busy.

Lu Zhong came to the imperial study room just as the sun was setting.

"Your Majesty has found out." Lu Zhong's forehead was soaked in sweat, which showed that he attached great importance to this matter.

Zhu Qiyu stopped writing and asked calmly, "Who is it?"

Lu Zhong bowed his head and said, "It's Zhang Zhao."

This is the person who contacted the royal palaces to ask His Majesty to move the palace, contacted celebrities, Hanlin, and Tai students to criticize the ten major calendar bureaus, changed Yang Wan's name and surname, and deceived Yang Wan to assassinate the emperor.

Zhang Zhao.

"I remember that he is just a censor of the capital, and only a fourth-rank official position. How can such a situation happen?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.

Zhu Qiyu has a little impression of Zhang Zhao, who wrote a letter in the orthodox ten years to prevent the poor and crazy King Jili from going south to the west, and then impeached Guo Yan, a shipbuilder, to Guizhou as the magistrate.

But this person, who is just a grade four, can make so many moths?

Zhu Qiyu suspected that there was someone behind Zhang Zhao.

After the incident happened, Lu Zhong kept rushing to the third-rank and above Minggongs, checking and checking, but he couldn't find the mastermind behind the scenes. In the end, he didn't expect that it was a fourth-rank official.

Lu Zhong explained: "This person is the leader of the Universal Clan Alliance and the mainstay of Qingliu. He and He Zhang had an ugly quarrel in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is a long-sleeved and good at dancing, rich in businessmen, has a wide network of contacts, and does not hesitate to spend money. traffic everywhere."

If Zhang Zhao hadn't acted in a hurry this time and left behind clues, it would have been difficult to find this person.

"So that's the case, that's not surprising." Zhu Qiyu nodded.

The Four Seas Clan Alliance is roughly the Four Seas Great Ming Culture System Alliance.

There are many literary traditions in the Ming Dynasty. For example, Xue Xuan is the originator of the Hedong School, and Chen Xianzhang is the originator of the Baisha Shu School. There are many schools of similar literary traditions.

The Four Seas Clan Alliance is a loose alliance, and most of the leaders can only be seated by people with great reputations, such as the mainstay of Qingliu.

This kind of person can actually be called a schoolboy.

There are three types of cliques in the Ming Dynasty, the same class, the same township, and the same teacher, and the same teacher happened among such school groups.

The cultural tradition of the Ming Dynasty, which developed to the middle and late Ming Dynasty, was a political alliance and a community of interests with the background of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Xi, Donglin and other school lords.

Behind the members of the Donglin Party is a huge chain of interests, which is by no means as simple as an academy.

"How many people are involved in the case?" Zhu Qiyu asked quite solemnly.

Lu Zhong hesitated before saying: "The three of 130 are still checking and making up."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Lu Zhong and said with a smile: "What are you hesitating about? Do you want to say that you don't want to blame everyone? Since I'm going south soon, I should only punish the culprits at this time?"

"Yes." Lu Zhong nodded. There are many people involved in the case this time, and His Majesty is going to tour the south again. Such a large-scale personnel transfer between the court and China is bound to cause all kinds of troubles.

Lu Zhong just had this idea, and he didn't intend to persuade him. As the knife in His Majesty's hand, he would kill whoever His Majesty said he would chop.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "This Zhang Zhao, or these people in the literary tradition, I am in the capital, and they dare to take advantage of the winter order to counterattack and count. If I am not in the capital and the emperor supervises the country, I am afraid they will go to heaven!"

"So this matter must not only be dealt with, but must be dealt with severely. Otherwise, the emperor's uncle will struggle in the capital and even be forced to rebel by them. Wouldn't that fulfill the villain's wish?"

"Aren't I going to lose my royal uncle?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lu Zhong convinced him, he thought too little, and His Majesty was more thoughtful.

Zhu Qiyu said with a bit of anger: "Besides, only the chief criminal is punished, and the accomplices are forgiven. Is that the treatment they deserve!"

"They don't deserve it!"

As the great emperor, Zhu Qiyu had forgiven many people. For example, the 25 captives who rebelled against the Nanya government back then, after five years of hard labor, most of them have become free and have a skill.

At the beginning, Zhu Qiyu conquered the rebellion by himself, but when he arrived in Nanya, he practiced the lenient punishment method of only killing the chief villain.

This is because the common people are ignorant, easily deceived, and easily bewitched by others, but are these scholars in the literary tradition also ignorant?

After reading so many sage books, what is the truth?

Not to mention the thoughts after the explosion of productivity in later generations, that is, the morality of the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty for 2000 years, they have not read it, these people are also worthy of talking about forgiveness?

Zhu Qiyu was really angry, and with the power of killing, he said coldly: "After Zhang Zhao checked the facts, he was transferred to Jieyu Yuan, the chief culprit was beheaded, and the rest were sent to Liaodong Coal Wells Division. Let Xu Siqi keep an eye on them. Be sure to let them do coolies. go."

"The minister leads the order." Lu Zhong had the backbone and took the order to leave.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Ran Siniang who was studying medical books, adjusted his breathing, and said, "Scared you?"

Ran Siniang looked at His Majesty inexplicably, she was the female imperial physician who was in charge of the Jiejie Hospital.

She smiled sweetly and shook her head and said: "No, it's just that Jiejieyuan has no newcomers for a long time, thanks to Ke Qian who sent so many spies, otherwise it would not be enough."

"Furthermore, these people deserve what they deserve. With His Majesty's salary, they should have thought about this end before they did such frivolous things."

Zhu Qiyu understood that his Lady Ran was not an ordinary woman.

"What did you take?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the food box that Ran Siniang brought, and asked curiously.

Ran Siniang seemed to have thought of something, pursed her lips, and said softly, "Liuwei Dihuang Wan."

"I want to eat this?!" Zhu Qiyu was astonished, he rode military horses every day, his body was strong and his waist strength was excellent, and he was always quite harmonious in this respect.

How did it get down to the point where Ran Siniang gave Liuwei Dihuang Wan?

Ran Siniang looked at the shocked His Majesty, covered her mouth with a smile and said, "It's for reward."

"This is the achievement of Taiyuan Hospital over the years."

Zhu Qiyu said confusedly: "Oh? Tell me more specifically."

Chapter 644 Hard and soft, both kind and powerful

"Liuwei Dihuang Wan is a pill, Baibaodan is a pill, the golden sore medicine based on Sanqi powder is a powder for external application, and Kangfuxin Liquid is an ointment for internal and external application. I have brought a patented medicine that can be mass-produced recently by the Tai Hospital. "

"At least they are all good medicines that won't deteriorate within three years, and these medicines can be sent to major Huimin pharmacies."

"But Tai Hospital has no money, and Miyun Kangfuxin Liquid Pharmaceutical Factory has some problems, so it has no money."

Ran Siniang opened the boxes she brought one by one, and introduced them one by one.

This time the Tai Hospital brought a total of nine proprietary medicines.

Rehabilitation New Liquid, which greatly alleviated Jin Lian's old stomach disease;

Panax notoginseng powder, which is effective in treating trauma, is mainly used for treating wounds, as well as Baibaodan for oral administration.These two types have a common name in later generations, Yunnan Baiyao.

Liushen Pill and Liushen Medicinal Wine are mainly used for repelling mosquitoes, relieving itching, dispelling prickly heat, and refreshing.

Huoxiangzhengqi pills and Huoxiangzhengqi powder are mainly used to treat aversion to cold and fever, abdominal distension and pain, vomiting and diarrhea, and Shushi cold.

It is worth noting that these four medicines are all medicines that were often used in the Southern Expedition Army when the British Duke Zhang Fu went south to occupy the city.

In particular, Liushen Medicinal Wine played a great role in the Ming Dynasty's three southern expeditions to Luchuan. Mosquito repellent and epidemic prevention were the top priority of the military camp.

For the styrofoam pills used to treat stroke, the styrax needed comes from Haimao, and the benzoin comes from the Western Regions.

The last one is Zixue Dan, a local prescription that is very effective in treating convulsions in children.

"Can the Tai Hospital successfully formulate a prescription?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the nine medicines, all of which were urgently needed by Daming.

Forming prescriptions is a tradition of the Central Plains dynasties.

As early as the pre-Qin period, after the "Huangdi Neijing" was completed, it not only put forward the concept of traditional Chinese medicine that the monarch and ministers assist the envoys, but also recorded thirteen prescriptions, nine of which were patent medicines.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" written by the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing, there were more than 60 kinds of patented medicines.

The wheel of history is rolling forward, and Chinese medicine is also spiraling upward. In the Song Dynasty, the pharmacopoeia "Taiping Huimin Pharmacy Bureau Heji Bureau Prescription" and "Nine Chapters of Mathematical Sciences" organized by the imperial court were published on a large scale for the first time.

In the Song Dynasty, Wude was not good, and the culture was at its peak. This pharmacopoeia recorded nearly a thousand kinds of patent medicines.

Proprietary Chinese medicine has been renewed for a long time and has ushered in rapid development.

"The Tai Hospital can make prescriptions, but the Tai Hospital has no money." Ran Siniang took a sip of tea and looked at her husband with piercing eyes, as if she was watching... the God of Wealth.

That's right, Ran Siniang came this time not only to do something that both men and women love to do, but also with the idea of ​​attracting investment.

Ran Siniang said with emotion: "After more than six years, under the leadership of the court judge Lu Zicai and Xin Kejing, the Supreme Hospital has carried out a big wave of scouring the prescriptions of the past dynasties. , contacted Yao Nongyou to select the best, and finally determined the first batch of prescription preparations that can be mass-produced."

"Hundred steps are half to ninety. The Tai Hospital has prepared prescriptions, but they have adjusted the prescriptions, but there is not much money. This government-run pharmaceutical factory cannot run."

"Your Majesty, please have mercy."

Lack of money seems to be Daming's curse.

Because of the lack of money, Daming caused a disturbance in the winter sequence, and the court of Daming was even more poor. They were stuck in the neck and couldn't do anything they wanted to do.

Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu has a good way of making money, and his inner money is so rich that it is not counted as anything other than gold and silver. There are nearly 500 million silver coins and nearly 50 taels of gold lying in his inner money.

Zhu Qiyu said helplessly: "I know about this. Lu Zicai's memorandum was handed over to Wenyuan Pavilion. I have read the proposals of the scholars, and most of them do not agree to give the money. If the academicians do not agree, they will not approve it."

"Such a good business, the Ministry of Households does not do it, but the internal funds do."

Kangfuxin liquid is the first prescription preparation in Ming Dynasty. Zhu Qiyu set up a large-scale cockroach breeding base in Miyunwei in order to prevent Daming Muyang Bo Jinlian from leaving. liquid this medicine.

The Kangfuxin Liquid belongs to Ran Siniang independently from materials to production to sales. After five years of development, under Zhu Qiyu's guidance, the production of Kangfuxin Liquid has become large-scale, standardized and industrialized.

It's an out-and-out pharmaceutical factory.

As the saying goes, those who sell their bodies can't earn more than those who sell medicines, and now the richest lady in Tai'an Palace is Ran Siniang.

"I want more money." Ran Siniang kept circling her fingers and said, "I don't have any money, or I won't talk to my husband."

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, "How much?"

Ran Siniang stretched out two fingers, then quickly retracted one and said, "Twenty...one hundred thousand silver coins, just wait for the money from Miyun Factory, it will be enough."

"20, I'll draw the check for you." Zhu Qiyu picked up the check book on the table, filled in the money, took out his seal ribbon, covered it, and put the house on the table.

Zhu Qiyu writes checks, rich and powerful.

"It's hard to open my mouth, and I don't want to point too much." Zhu Qiyu looked at Ran Siniang's surprised eyes, and shook his head.

20 silver coins, placed in the orthodox years, is one-sixth of the annual silver tax of the Ming Dynasty, and can be kept in the Shaobao Jiuzhong Hall for 220 years.

Ran Siniang didn't want much.

Since the first year of Zhengtong, a total of 120 prefectures have been paid for silver, and the imperial court has about 140 million to [-] million taels of silver in a year.

For a huge empire, this silver income was a drop in the bucket, and Ming could not make ends meet all the year round.

"Mr. Xie, the Tai Hospital will return the money to the internal funds." Ran Siniang took the check and put it in her purse. This is the funds for the Tai Hospital for the next year.

There is a clear distinction between public and private, this money is from His Majesty's private treasury, and the Imperial Hospital is run by the government, so it is natural to have to pay it back.

Lu Zicai's memorandum was drafted by the great scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, all of them opposed it, and Shen Yi from the household department was serious and refused to give money, so Ran Siniang thought of asking for help, and asked her husband.
