The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 585

[585. Chapter 570 The ancestral grave is really smoking]

The person in charge of summarizing is Su Yue.

Su Yue had different ambitions from others. He was just a scholar and did not want to continue to take the imperial examination. He became a disciple of Wang Shouren and devoted himself to learning new learning. He most recognized the new learning’s integration of knowledge and action.

In this day and age, those who could endure the criticism of others and resolutely join Xishan Academy were either paranoid people or true fanatical believers.

Su Yue is one of them.

After that, he saw a miraculous medical skill.

Surprisingly, a person’s belly can be cut open, the contents of the belly taken out, and then sewn back together. After the operation, the person can actually wake up and recover as before.

At this moment, Su Yue seemed to have opened a new door.

He recorded countless information, even Zhu Houzhao’s every minute movement during the operation, he faithfully recorded it.

In his opinion, this was too magical.

There is such medical skill in the world.

In the past half month, more than 30 patients have been treated, five died, and the rest all survived.

But these thirty-odd people were all terminally ill. Logically speaking, they wouldn’t live much longer, but at this moment… they miraculously survived.

It turns out… saving lives is so simple.

The surviving people are still arranged in the silkworm room, and are taken care of by Su Yue and some attentive villagers.

After all, this was a matter of disembowelment. Even though the patients who had been initially treated had begun to recover and could even walk around, Su Yue still did not dare to neglect. He needed these people to live here for half a year in order to record this. Does the person have any hidden dangers in his body?

In just a few months, Su Yue’s hands and neck were extremely sore, because he had written at least one hundred thousand words, and it was troublesome to organize these words.

For this reason, Fang Jifan specially requisitioned an inconspicuous small building on the side of the academy. On the small building, a signboard of the medical school was hung. Xishan Medical College was established since then. In addition to Su Yue, who was responsible for recording research, there were also Zhou Yuan is responsible for the management. Zhou Yuan is responsible for maintaining the Jamsil and preparing various surgical instruments. Liu Yidao no longer cuts things randomly. He abandoned the ancestral business inherited from his ancestors and is responsible for the study of his stinky pockmark soup and the disinfection of silkworm rooms.

Next, there is a group of farmers who were transferred. These farmers can probably know some words, but their knowledge is limited after all. They are responsible for the work of caregivers.

The chief surgeon, Zhu Houzhao, has become more and more proficient in his skills. He can even cut off a person’s waist with his eyes closed.

This is similar to some hospitals in later generations. If there are many factories in a certain area, the doctors in this area are often very knowledgeable in treating trauma or reconnecting severed fingers. The reason is that there are too many patients. Naturally, he became a famous doctor.

In later generations, it was the dream of many doctors to perform an operation. After all, it was impossible for a doctor who could serve as the chief surgeon to let newcomers try it.

Although the equipment and tools at this time were rudimentary, even the theoretical level was far behind those of later generations.

But Zhu Houzhao’s biggest advantage is that he has rich practical experience. After all, he is the prince and he is the oldest. If he wants to cut your kidneys, let alone treat you, even if your kidneys are twice as healthy, he will cut them off. Land, right?

Therefore, if you have power, you can do whatever you want. This is the greatest truth.

Fang Jifan focused on the circumcision surgery. Slowly, he began to gain some experience and became proficient in his knife skills. As a result, the circumcised person, after taking a rest, felt that he had not lost his treasure and had no choice but to I don’t admire Dingyuan Hou’s sword skills.

Fang Jifan’s only weakness lies in stitches, which requires careful practice.

…………

Siam.

When the huge fleet arrived here, Siam welcomed the Ming Dynasty’s fleet.

As the Francons began to establish so-called trading points everywhere, the West became increasingly unstable.

Siam was once a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but they knew that water far away could not save the fire nearby. Out of concerns about the increasingly rampant pirates overseas and the Francois, the Western countries, after seeing the huge Ming Dynasty fleet, , suddenly overjoyed.

The Sanbao eunuchs left many legacies to the Ming Dynasty. Although most of the legacies have been completely destroyed by later generations, at the beginning, the Sanbao eunuchs passed through this place with a huge fleet and controlled the most powerful force in the world. But Qiu made no mistakes, which left a deep impression on the Siamese people.

Therefore, although a huge fleet came this time, instead of arousing the vigilance of the Siamese people, they received warm hospitality. The King of Siam personally came to the port to welcome Xu Jing, and took various officials to welcome Xu Jing into his palace to entertain him.

As for other sailors and sailors, they also landed one after another.

Zhang Heling, Zhang Yanling and Zhou La also went ashore. The journey was very hard. Although there was plenty of food on the ship, they still felt that it was not enough to replenish their physical strength. The Zhang brothers became much thinner, but Zhang Heling was not afraid of hardship because he was a A person with ideals is fearless even if he encounters storms. Every time Zhang Yanling wanted to back down, his brother would slap him on the head and scold him angrily.

The market in Siam was very lively. Soon, Zhang Yanling’s eyes widened. He saw something and hurriedly waved to Zhang Heling: “Brother, brother, come on, come on.”

Zhang Heling went over and took a look, wasn’t this spice? , slapped Zhang Yanling hard on the back of the head: “Idiot, this is spice, have you never seen it?”

“Yes, it’s very expensive.” Zhang Heling said with a bitter face: “But…”

He pointed at the vendor, he said one tael of silver , can be exchanged for twenty pounds. “

“What. “Zhang Heling squinted and looked at the vendor on the other side. This vendor looked like a Ming Dynasty face.

Not only that, this man could barely speak Chinese: “Yes, yes, twenty pounds, a little bit of silver, A little bit. “He pinched his little finger.

This is a Han Chinese, and I don’t know when he fell here. Maybe his ancestors came here to make their home, but the language has been passed down from generation to generation after all.

One tael of silver and twenty pounds of spices.

Zhang Heling shuddered and his pupils began to shrink.

It’s terrible. You know, in the Ming Dynasty, this thing was worth as much as a hundred silvers. It was a rare treasure that couldn’t be more rare: “I…I want it, two thousand catties.”

Take as much as you want, you’re going to get rich ah.

Zhang Heling was so excited that his whole body trembled.

San Francisco is still far away. Let’s make a fortune first. If this thing is sent back to the Ming Dynasty, it will be dozens of times huge profits. Haha, I, Zhang Heling, am also where I am today. God, my eyes have finally opened.

The merchant was overjoyed, but also happy. You should know that this spice was not a rare thing here, but now it was a big deal…

But then, he was stunned.

A pair of eyes were staring at Zhang Heling’s waist.

Zhang Heling was stunned and lowered his head.

Hanging on his waist is a pair of glass mirrors.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Heling’s eyes.

The reason why glass mirrors are needed is because Fang Jifan donated a batch of glasses to the palace.

Zhang Heling naturally asked for it from his sister.

This is not important yet. What is important is that you are going to sea. You cannot leave valuable things at home. What if the thieves take care of them? These eyes were in the Ming Dynasty, but they cost ten taels of silver each, and they were tribute items. They were more sophisticated and probably worth twenty taels. Zhang Heling was reluctant to stay at home, so he hung them around his waist with a rope. In this way, I feel at ease and happy.

“What are you doing?”

“How…how do you sell this?” The merchant looked at the glasses.

Zhang Heling narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively: “What do you want to buy?”

“How about…” The merchant tentatively said: “You make a price.”

“You go ahead.” Zhang Heling was not stupid.

The merchant hesitated. This was transparent glass. He had never seen it before. It was a treasure at first sight.

He said: “Can I pick it up and play with it?”

Zhang Heling shook his head: “No.”

The merchant was silent for a moment: “I can exchange it for two thousand kilograms of spices.”

Two thousand kilograms of spices, isn’t this… one hundred taels of silver?

Zhang Yanling was overjoyed and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: “Okay, okay…”

“What a ball!” Zhang Heling slapped Zhang Yanling away with tears streaming down his face: “You beast, an heirloom passed down from our ancestors. , you are selling two thousand kilograms of worthless spices, you are so disgraceful, sir, I will beat you to death!”

Zhang Yanling cried: “Brother, our ancestor…”

“Shut up!” Zhang Heling crossed his hands and turned to the merchant. : “This is a family heirloom.”

Heirloom…

the vendor looked regretful.

If it is a family heirloom… then…

“How about you add a little more.”

The vendor suddenly felt that there was still a chance: “How much do you want?”

Zhang Heling’s eyes turned red: “This was passed down from my eldest father. At first, he spent a lot of money on it. Tens of thousands of taels of silver were obtained after a lot of effort. Before he died, he held my father’s hand and said that such a treasure could not be exchanged for even a thousand gold coins. Before his death, my father held my hand again. , saying that this is a treasure in the family and must not be sold. When I first arrived in your precious land, I was very amiable when I saw you. You and I are thousands of miles apart. Since we met, it was fate. You bring ten thousand kilograms of spices. I sold you. “

Ten thousand catties. “

Five hundred taels of silver.

If these 500 taels of spices were sent back to the Ming Dynasty, they might be worth 5,000 taels or 10,000 taels after changing hands.

And one eye is only twenty taels.

Zhang Heling wiped away the tears with a drumbeat in his heart. He was very nervous and looking forward to it.

The merchant was silent for a moment: “Let me see, if it is really a rare treasure, then… ten thousand catties!”

Zhang Heling’s eyes lit up.

This… is a whole new world, haha… He has an intuition.

Zhang family…the ancestral grave is going to smoke.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he tremblingly handed over his eyes.

The merchant looked left and right, and finally seemed to have made up his mind: “Deal!”

Zhang Heling cried, tears falling down.

These Westerners are all idiots. This time, they really made a fortune! Oh yeah!
