I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

A few days after the rumors about the elixir were around the corner, King Qi suddenly arrived at the Provincial Political Affairs Hall with his cronies, and then summoned the prime minister on duty to take charge, which was an outrageous reprimand.The king of Qi spoke very harshly, claiming that the rumors in the city are everywhere and the people's hearts are uncertain. All kinds of turmoil are due to the hesitation of the important ministers and their inability to educate the people with virtue; It gave the shameless Xiaoxiao who spread rumors an opportunity to take advantage of it.After standing on the moral high ground and pointing heartily, King Qi also set the tone for this matter by the way.He reviewed all kinds of damage caused by the rumors in the city, and believed that Ba Jiucheng was caused by the spies of the Southern Dynasty and fueled the flames. He strictly ordered all ministers to deal with it carefully and not relax for a moment.If there are those who are indulgent and slack, or even covertly, they will be guilty of the same crime as the internal and external enemies.

After so much reprimand, King Qi finally walked away with his head held high and his chest held high.Several chief ministers in the capital bowed their heads to listen to the training, but they couldn't help the corners of their eyes twitching after seeing the rightful lord leave - with the status and power of all the important ministers, they should never have trembled and swallowed in front of a mere usurper.Just now they heard the king of Qi talking nonsense on the Internet, and they also recalled the bonds they bought recently several times in their hearts, and they forcibly suppressed the unknown anger.But when they heard King Qi's last words, the important ministers suddenly became vigilant, but subconsciously pricked up their ears—they had passed through too many storms, and to put it bluntly, they didn't even know how many emperors had changed, so of course they wouldn't care What a petty crime of being connected with foreign countries; but everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, of course they know this tricky thing in political affairs: King Qi threatened to cooperate with the enemy, and made it clear that he would disregard his face and forcibly suppress the rumors!

——Such impatience and anxiety just show that the rumors have their own reasons, and they are definitely not groundless!

King Qi's figure disappeared outside the gate, and several white-haired old men in their seventies and eighties raised their heads one by one, and exchanged glances calmly.The so-called being romantic without a single word means that they have a tacit understanding with each other.

So the leading prime minister thumped his old waist and sat down slowly, picking up a writing brush on the table.

Since the King of Qi ordered to investigate the spies and wipe out the rumors, all the gentlemen are naturally ordered to be cautious and sort out the reports as soon as possible.

The remaining ministers were accustomed to cooperating on weekdays. Seeing the memorial presented by the great minister on the conception, they quietly retreated to the two sides of the political affairs hall to fetch the daily report from the imperial guards in the city. , Jing Zhaoyin found out the news, and displayed several cases for the prime minister to use.The prime minister is proficient in government affairs, and he scribbled down the framework with a pen, but frowned slightly:

"Weiren Hall seems to be in too much of a hurry."

After the palace change, the court of the Northern Dynasty fell into a rather embarrassing political situation.Because the king of Qi has not obeyed the law of Yao, Zen and Shun, the court still has to be a minister to the little emperor in name, so since the title of monarch and minister is there, it is impossible to give the king of Qi the honorary title and eagerly call him "supreme" , "Saint" - especially the important ministers named Gao Yi, it is absolutely impossible to leave such shameless infamy.But now that the change of dynasty is imminent, if the important ministers honestly call you "His Royal Highness" or "Great King" according to their titles, then they can only conceive of their own posthumous titles and posthumous titles... adults really want fame, but lord They didn't have any brains.

Under this dilemma, it is even more obvious that the writing skills honed by the important ministers for decades, are far from being comparable to ordinary small officials.The ministers deliberated over every word, and finally chose "Weiren Hall" as the representative of King Qi - since the palace change, King Qi has lived in the Hall of Weiren for a long time, so it is appropriate to refer to it; and "Weiren is a relative", It was Jiang Taigong who praised the virtues of King Wu of Zhou.King Wu conquered the world by slandering the people and punishing Shang Zhou. Such an ingenious allusion can naturally tickle the deepest itch of King Qi.

So the waiter center, who rummaged through the files on both sides, comprehended and reported aloud:

"Apart from the rumors of investigations all over the city, there is nothing unusual. It's just that the one in Weiren Hall has a Zhuangzi outside the city. I heard that he has made some moves in recent months. Before that, he was recruiting refugees every day to clean up, and then looking for Some widows, orphans, and old women came to wash their clothes, and they were given food and rice every day. They said that they were very generous, so it was particularly shocking. In the past few days, notices have been posted all over the city, asking for a lot of money to recruit some "test subjects" , and additionally limit people who are over 50 years old..."

The waiter took pen and ink, wrote the two big characters "subject" on the paper, and presented it to the prime minister respectfully.

Grand Master glanced at this inexplicable strange word, but there was no disturbance in his heart.The prime minister, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, has been sitting in the position of courtesy for a long time, of course he would not care about such a small manor, let alone the lowly refugees who depend on the manor for a living... Even if the manor is backed by The most powerful name in the entire dynasty is not worthy of polluting the eyes and ears of the nobles.Normally, he would probably just scoff at such vulgar and vulgar news, but when he thought about the last few sentences, he frowned slightly:

"This Zhuangzi is recruiting people over fifty? What are you recruiting for?"

There are also rules in Zhuangzi for buying and recruiting people. You have to be strong and able to do things. If you invite these old men in their fifties, isn't it a pension?

Quite naturally, the prime minister thought of the royal elixir that King Qi kept secret.

He picked up the pen and wrote another line on the spread out yellow cotton paper.

"Since the Hall of Weiren entrusted the matter of clearing up the rumors to the Zhengshitang, we naturally have to shoulder the burden." The Grand Minister said softly: "Although Zhuangzi is outside the city, he will not refuse to recruit refugees like this. It is inevitable that no one will sneak in. How about this, I think we can send hundreds of soldiers from Nanya to help keep an eye on the news outside the city, how about it?"

The prime minister was so thoughtful, the important ministers standing on both sides naturally bowed their hands one after another, only claiming to be right.

In general, the recruiting of subjects by the time-traveling team was smooth sailing.Because of the favorable treatment given when recruiting refugee widows to work, the Bieyuan is well-known among the lower classes in Chang'an.Not to mention the homeless refugees who are looking for food, even the people with a small foundation in the city. Hearing that the other courtyard is served with white rice every day, they are secretly eager to move.Therefore, less than half a day after the notice was posted, the people below were surrounded by crowds.But when the guard who recruited them asked carefully, he couldn't help being very surprised—it turned out that among the old men and women all over the street, there were not many of them in their fifties.

The news spread to the top, and finally Wang Zhi took the time to point out a few words: "Plagues were prevalent in the Middle Ages and wars were frequent. Few of the nobles lived past fifty. The average life expectancy is probably less than forty. You still have to Looking for this kind of person among the low-level commoners? If you want me to say that it is almost enough, it is already rare to be in the forties..."

So the guards randomized people, picked dozens of refugees who looked the most out of shape in their old age, and sent them back to hand over their errands.

The other courtyard was prepared early in the morning. As soon as the people arrived, hot water was provided for them to wash and take care of, and then new clothes were sent to clean them up one by one.These refugees rolled in the dirt and dust on weekdays, and it took two hundred barrels of hot water to wash them clean; then some clever and clever servants led them into Beixia's canteen, and announced in public that they would test the medicine .

In order to supplement nutrition for the subjects, the cafeteria specially used high-quality fatty pork, and served it with bean paste made from pork white sugar, and prepared hundreds of bowls of oily, sweet, plump and fatty pork with sand .Dozens of hungry refugees sat on the wooden benches, not daring to move, but they still couldn't help spitting and swallowing when they smelled the oily and sweet fragrance, and naturally they didn't care about what was being preached.There were only a few people with different backgrounds and ulterior motives, who could barely suppress their appetites and pricked up their ears to write down their speeches one by one.

The refugees have been struggling with hunger, cold and hardship for a long time, and a full meal is enough to sell their lives.The servant who came to preach hadn't finished speaking, but there was a lot of approval from the following, for fear that the meat would be left to cool after waiting for a long time.Fortunately, the servants didn't talk much nonsense. After the lecture, they were offered hundreds of large ceramic bowls. Each bowl was filled with five layers of fat meat that was steaming with oily tops, and five taels of lard residue lay thickly underneath Egg fried rice mixed with sausage and bacon.So when the cafeteria opened temporarily was full of gobblers, the refugees who had been hungry for a long time didn't care about the rules of eating, so they simply grabbed the big bowl and gobbled up the food. Lick it.

After eating and drinking enough, the guards led the refugees into the rooms at the back of the cafeteria one by one.In order to fake the effect of rejuvenation, the medical team's plan is to use medical aesthetics technology to perform a simple facelift. First, the muscles and nerves are paralyzed with drugs to relax wrinkles, and then saline is used to fill the depressions and folds of the skin, trying to create a youthful and plump face. (The original plan was to fill with autologous fat, but it is obviously unlikely that the refugees have any excess fat).In order to step by step and create the effect of the elixir taking effect gradually, the doctors deliberately reduced the dosage, and just injected a small amount of the medicine into the wrinkle with a sterile fine needle, and then one of them gave a vitamin sugar pill as a placebo.

The refugees have all rolled out of the mountains of swords and seas of fire. They have no fear of this tiny sterile injection needle. Some of them are bold enough to look at the shiny and moving needle, and want to pick up a few from the medical waste bin. Going back to do needlework—then was stopped by the doctors sternly, and I was so frightened that I collapsed to the ground and almost fainted from crying.After repeated persuasion by several medical consultants, each of them had to grab a few sugar pills and stuff their mouths.These sugar pills are children's nutritional supplements bought by the emergency team from the pediatric hospital. There is no problem in eating more.

The so-called don't worry about the few but the unevenness. Since the crying people have candy, then everyone who is left obediently waiting in line will naturally have a handful.So the whole big basket of vitamin sugar pills was divided up in an instant.The skinny and dark refugees grabbed colorful candies and looked forward. Seeing that the bamboo baskets were empty, they could only shake their heads in disappointment. Then they lowered their heads and carefully stuffed the sugar pills into their pockets—these people struggled from life and death. It became instinctive. If there were no repeated urging by the guards next to it, I am afraid that the sugar pill would not be willing to take a sip until the sugar pill melted and rotted.

More than an hour later, the injection and observation were all over, and the guards led the subjects to rest in the open space outside the hospital in batches.There are recruited workers busy outside, and a dozen thatched tents have been set up for the refugees to live in these few days.The doctors who stayed in the field carefully counted the medical waste, but found that the number was not the same in any case-the injections that were originally prepared greatly exceeded the number of subjects, but now there are not many left!

The news was quickly reported to Xiang Liang.Xiang Liang remained calm after hearing this, and just asked them to replay the monitoring of the injection site, but there was no need to startle the snake.

"Although it has been expected." He tilted his head and sighed to Bei Yan: "But the bait is too fast!"

"You have to think about the good." Bei Yan smiled slightly: "This shows that the dignitaries in Chang'an City are really strong in action, have great courage and imagination. From the side, this is the prosperity of the Northern Dynasty. The good omen of..."

Xiang Liang glanced at him expressionlessly, unable to tell if this person was acting strangely, so he simply avoided the subject:

"The action is really strong. Judging from the quantity, they stole at least fifteen injections."

Bei Yan let out an ooh.Originally, he should have ridiculed the astonishing accomplishments of the dignitaries of the Northern Dynasty in petty theft, but before he could speak, a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he sat up straight from the reclining chair:

"Fifteen injections? I'll give it a go! These bastards must be trying to test the medicine if they stole it - such a fucking large amount will not cause accidents, right?!"

——Of course, Bei Yan doesn't care about the life and death of the important ministers in Chang'an, but these medicines are high-end new products obtained from private hospitals in Zhang Yao's way!Recently, Zhang Yao's cultivation of fungi to raise white mice has grown to the point of foaming at the mouth, and being able to take the time to write such a note is simply to show the love of his colleagues to [-] points.If there's some medical accident with this thing that hurts her face, then this biologist who's been tormented mad by the rats will have to stuff a bunch of dead rats in the lab into their mouths...

Sure enough, Xiang Liang also frowned, but quickly regained his composure:

"It doesn't exist." He said in a low voice, "Hyundai consulted experts and said that this is a new type of product that is very safe. Even if the dosage and location of the injection are wrong, at most it's just a muscle numbness, and it will recover on its own within a week. recover."

"Besides, there's no way someone is really stupid enough to make a dozen shots at once..."
