Chapter 99 School starts
The banquet to celebrate the housewarming didn’t last long. Cheng Juxiu’s three school disciples were busy with many things, and they still had their own affairs to deal with.
Yang Yu, Yong Hongzhong, Ji Linlang and the others also had to prepare for their future school life.
Yang Yu’s family held banquets for six days in a row. Anyone who came over and shouted “Yang Qilang is talented”, “Yang Qilang is rich in learning”, “Yang Qilang is smart and studious”, can eat and drink for free.
Just like that, Yang Yu's family still felt that the banquet scene was deserted compared to the other families in Chang'an City who had their children admitted to the academy.
Yong Hongzhong and Ji Linlang had to write letters home to inform their parents of the good news, so that the family members would not have to worry.
In addition, Ji Linlang also told Li Ang an interesting fact—Yu Miaoshui, a Fu doctor who is famous for selling mung beans in Weizhou City, is also eager to inquire about the process of this year's school exam during this time.
When the news that Li Ang was second in the first test came back to Yunzhou City, Yu Miao was ashamed of the water and closed the business.
When the news of Li Ang's first place in the retest came back to Yunzhou City, the door of Yu Miaoshui's house was closed, and there were constant cries in the yard.
When the news that Li Ang was determined by Xi Yangyu to be unable to cultivate for life came back, Yu Miaoshui was overjoyed again, and the crying in the yard stopped again.
And when the dust settled and the news came back that Li Ang had become the first scholar in the academy, Yu Miaoshui sat at home all day without eating or drinking.
The next day he looked haggard, as if he had aged several decades, and took the initiative to drag his family and went to the Lansheng Building at Qiaotou, Yunzhou to find Song Shaoyuan's mother, Aunt Song,
Kneeling and begging, Yu sold his family's pharmacy property and house in the city of Yunzhou to Aunt Song at a low price—looking at the situation, if Aunt Song really refused to accept it, the other party would jump into the river.
In desperation, Aunt Song had no choice but to buy the property at a low price, and Yu Miaoshui also thanked her family and left Weizhou for another place.
The letter sent from Weizhou to Chang'an the next day also explained these contents.
In the letter, Aunt Song first expressed her apology to Li Ang for making a decision without authorization, and attached a flying ticket that sold one-third of the Yu family's property at the normal price, a total of 1,500 guan - the other two-thirds needed Wait until the remaining houses are sold before sending them to Chang'an.
Then Aunt Song wrote a letter again, asking Li Ang to comfort Song Shaoyuan, so that he should not be sad if he failed the entrance examination, and that he could stay in Chang'an for another half a year and take the imperial examination in February next year.
sad
Looking at the letter, Li Ang thought of Song Shaoyuan, who had a close relationship with You, and had a strange expression on his face.
Next year, if Aunt Song comes to visit Chang'an next year, I'm afraid she will have grandchildren.
It's all about.
Li Ang shook his head and put down the letter. Song Shaoyuan studied very hard, not to mention that You all knew that he had a high literary talent, so he was relatively confident in the imperial examination.
The matter of Yu Miaoshui was just a short episode, and Li Ang put away the 1,500 guan.
During this time, he was mainly busy with two things.
The first thing is to meet people from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, Taichang Temple, and the Imperial Medical Office.
The Ministry of War needs Li Ang's assistance in formulating the problems related to malaria that may be encountered if Yu State uses troops to the south. For example, anti-mosquito and anti-mosquito strategies when stationed in barracks.
The Ministry of Household and Taichang Temple informed Li Ang about matters related to midwifery forceps, such as publishing articles in academic journals, explaining how to use midwifery forceps and key points, and asking physicians from various prefectures of the Imperial Medical Office to call midwives in their states to promote the use of midwifery forceps etc.
By the way, Li Ang wrote down the precautions for childbirth and postpartum care in text form.
For example, midwives should wash their hands, midwifery forceps and mattresses should be disinfected, and maternal health care should be strengthened during pregnancy, paying attention to balanced nutrition, and improving physical fitness.
This is a broken pot. The matter of malaria is relatively sensitive. It is not easy to post Li Ang's name. Midwifery forceps do not have this taboo.
According to the officials of the two ministries, both His Majesty and the Queen intend to publicize Li Ang's achievements, and the title of gynecological master will never escape.
Since this is the case, it is better to do a good job in the promotion of maternity care and save more lives. The mortality rate of puerpera during childbirth and postpartum care is as high as 1.5% in some extremely backward areas of Yu State.
Many are caused by backward hygiene concepts.
The Ministry of Industry’s visit is about Chang’an’s mosquito control matters—although Tantai Leshan Siye of the Academy has already revised the Chang’an water canal construction plan with his students, but he still has to consult Li Ang again on the specific mosquito control strategy. .
For example, how to make anti-mosquito nets, what plants should be used to repel mosquitoes, if fish are to be raised in water canals to eat larvae, what kind of fish should be raised, etc.
Because the people in Chang'an have a lot of talk, I don't know what's going on, and the specific policy of the Ministry of Industry has not yet been formulated, and the news of mosquito-caused diseases has already begun to spread in the market.
Rich households began to hang silk mosquito nets in the halls and bedrooms one after another, and the linen mosquito nets with inferior materials were also sold out, causing the price of Chang'an cloth to rise in place.
These things are handled by professionals, Li Ang didn't pay much attention to it, shut himself in the house, and declared to the outside world that he would study the medical books and classics sent by the imperial medical office.
In fact, I used the 1,500 guan to buy gold, silver and other precious metals in the gold shop in Chang'an West City, and continued to study Mosi.
Feeding precious metals to ink silk can indeed increase the strength of ink silk, improve body functions, and optimize the transmission efficiency of spiritual veins without affecting its own volume and weight.
Currently, Li Ang has consumed about 150 taels of gold and 500 taels of pure silver.
Strengthened the spiritual veins from six and a half when the sword was broken in the skull to about ten spiritual veins.
If more gold and silver can be devoured, the strength of the spiritual veins can even reach thirteen or fourteen, which is getting closer and closer to the genius in the concept of the academy.
"I heard that Pei Jing's talent for spiritual veins is fourteen, which is a qualification that can only be found among thousands of people.
And Liu Yemei is definitely not bad.
It will take a lot more money to match or surpass their innate aptitude.”
In the room, Li Ang shook his head and complained, "Is this considered creating happiness with krypton gold?"
The faster the Mosi grows, the more gold and silver it consumes.
The price of gold in Chang'an, the price of one tael is seventeen pennies and five hundred coins.
Fifteen hundred guan, not even a hundred taels of gold can afford it.
It is necessary to develop new financial resources.
While thinking about ways to raise money, Li Ang is also concerned about the news of the Zhenfu Division.
Jiao Cheng's disappearance had just caused some waves in the Pingkangfang and Chang'an gangs, but was quelled by the people above.
Jiao Cheng was a tool for someone or some powerful people to make money, and no one wanted his death to be widely noticed. So it didn't take long for Pingkang Square to usher in a new steward.
The pavilion where Jiao Cheng originally lived was also engulfed and burned by a fire—it was rumored that Jiao Cheng had the private information of the dignitaries in Chang'an in his hands, and it would be the most troublesome if there was no fire.
As for whether the Zhen Fusi has continued to investigate, has he unearthed more clues from the underground palace, and has contacted the missing Jiao Cheng and even Li Ang?
Li Ang has no way of knowing this information, so he can only search for information secretly and continue to wait.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and finally, the day when the school started.
