Section 167 Preparations before the expedition
"Is this the strongest wine in your house?"
Liu Zhiyi shook his head. He did not read enough, and the medical alcohol that can disinfect it is at a concentration of 75%. The degree of this wine is far from enough.
"Young Master, let's steam the strongest wine you want. That's the money!"
"It's easy to talk about money. You can keep this intensity meter and you must go to the red line, otherwise I won't want it. As long as you can make it, I want it all. I can give you a brief first, at least 100,000 taels of goods!"
The winery owner instinctively disbelief and looked at the servant beside him. The servant was the buyer from Yihongyuan. As a guide, he took Liu Zhiyi to visit the large winery in Pingkangli.
The servant nodded, and the winery owner was relieved.
Liu Zhiyi said again: "I will come to see you when you are done. But I have to say that first, and I will order you a large amount of goods. I also have to require a group of your men in case there is no time to be distilled on site."
Lingnan is thousands of miles away, and all the alcohol is transported from the capital, so it is easy to cause difficulties in replenishing. Lingnan does not lack food or wine. If the supply cannot be achieved, Liu Zhiyi will consider processing on site in Lingnan.
The winery owner is a little embarrassed. He strives to keep it confidential. His wine has a secret recipe.
Liu Zhiyi said: "When I come back, the person will still be yours."
The winery owner smiled and said, "The official is joking."
He had already communicated with the servant quietly that this was a big deal for the official who bought supplies for the army.
After switching to several big wineries, Liu Zhiyi said the same thing and arranged the same job.
Then he left Pingkangli and went to Bingma Lane, where there was a clinic that was very famous. The wealthy families in the capital often asked them for medical treatment.
Xu's Medical Center, next to it, Xu's Pharmacy Shop.
This is a business of many Fu family. If you don’t let many Fu follow you, you may not be able to come. Unexpectedly, today is very smooth. Several wineries trust Liu Zhiyi for the sake of Yihongyuan, and saved a lot of time and had time to come.
Many lucky second brothers were sitting in the hall. When they saw Liu Zhiyi, they were very happy and quickly closed the shop and invited him into the back hall.
Liu Zhiyi explained his purpose, and many people hesitated.
Because Liu Zhiyi wanted to record the scene of him performing orthopedic surgery on his patient, this was definitely a confidential technique and the Xu family relied on for their meals.
Liu Zhiyi did not make things difficult for him and asked, "Can all the orthopedic doctors in the Xu family follow the army?"
Manyan thought for a while and said, "If you go to Lingnan, of course there is no problem."
The Xu family was able to treat the King of Lingnan all year round, which was deeply trusted by the King of Lingnan. Because the ancestors of the Xu family followed the King of Lingnan to fight in the south and accumulated enough orthopedic experience to become a famous orthopedic family.
Liu Zhiyi needed a group of medical officers who had major surgery, not too many, it would be better to have a hundred people, and there were not so many people in the Xu family, but there were still a group of masters in the Taixu School, and they were almost the same together.
I returned to the Imperial Academy in the evening, but Xie Zhong did not come back, so this kid must have stayed overnight.
The classmates were very envious. When they thought of the courtesans in Yichunyuan, many of the regrets that Fu and You Huwei and others were all blue.
Liu Zhiyi comforted them: "What's the hurry? Next we have to go to Yihongyuan, Peony Tower, Shaoyao Tower, and Furong Tower to teach those girls one by one. Who do you want to go?"
Many blessings immediately said, "I have no choice!"
You Suwei said: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently. Brother Liu's affairs are mine."
Li Yuan said: "Xiong Wan and I are going too."
Liu Zhiyi said gratefully: "That's a blessing for you. Please learn these procedures well."
As he said that, he took out the jade token, input a thread of true energy, and immediately reflected the pictures, which were very clear. It was Liu Zhiyi's emergency rescue operation.
The picture drawn by the painting will not last too long, and the jade tablet will basically be blurred if it is played ten times.
But let alone ten times, if these guys are serious and cannot remember within three times, they will not be able to get into the Imperial Academy.
They are all top-notch people, and they all memorized that night.
The next day, Liu Zhiyi sent them to four brothels, Yihongyuan, Furonglou, Shaoyaolou and Peony Building. Yesterday, he went to Yihongyuan to discuss with Yukou. Yukou was very supportive. The identity behind Yukou was the Manichae Saint, the mandarin girl in Shaoyaolou, the mandarin girl in Peony Building, and the mandarin girl in Furonglou were all her subordinates, and she could be the master of these three famous buildings.
Liu Zhiyi was not available to go to the brothel, and the preparations were complicated, so he couldn't guarantee whether he could do it before going to the expedition. The plan had actually been handed over to the Lingnan Prince's Mansion, but the other party had not taken action for a long time. Liu Zhiyi couldn't wait for them to use official power to do it. He planned to make preparations in private first to avoid being caught off guard when the start.
Today I visited the famous cloth merchants, silk merchants, and during the war period, gauze materials such as gauze were strategic resources. He needed to ensure sufficient supply.
The rich gauze is in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, where the land is flat, there are many people who grow mulberry and cotton. The textile industry is very developed, and one-third of the textiles in the world come from there.
When they were clear about their identity, they were all very enthusiastic. In addition to worrying about not being able to pay for the goods, they were absolutely good. For ordinary merchants, they were reluctant to do business with the government, but for these wealthy merchants, the government said the best buyers, because they didn’t pick up goods, and did not consider the price, because they were not their own money or for their own households. As long as they could guarantee that they would not be deductible, the business was done. Wealthy merchants were not afraid of the government’s debts, because most of them had relationships in the court.
Liu Zhiyi talked to them about the specifications of gauze and agreed to come to inspect the goods another day.
Then he rushed to the Lingnan Prince's Mansion and urged the Lingnan Prince to teach the craftsmen to make a batch of surgical tools. Most of the styles were kept in the Imperial Academy, and a small number were Liu Zhiyi who painted the patterns according to his own experience.
The major preparations were basically explained, but I always felt that some details were not in place.
After busy for several days, the gauze sample was finally accepted and the winery also distilled qualified medical alcohol, and agreed to lend a group of apprentices to the army to accompany the army, and process several sets of distillers as they are.
News came from the royal palace that the surgical tools were built within two days, and it was also guaranteed that if they were damaged, they could be built temporarily even when they reached the front line. Among the craftsmen who followed the army, there were the most blacksmiths.
Feeling that everything was about to stop, Liu Zhiyi suddenly realized that the biggest job had not been done yet.
He hasn't done his family's job yet.
He was going to go to war with the army, and his father Liu Dadao would most likely not stop him, but his mother Liu Jiangshi would not agree.
On the second day of the palace examination, Liu Zhiyi returned home.
Sure enough, when he said that, my father didn't care and my mother cried endlessly.
"Mom. Don't worry, I'm going to be a medical officer, not going to the front line, there's nothing to do."
"Don't lie to me. Even if you don't fight, people will die if you don't fight."
"What are you afraid of? I'm a medical officer!"
"Will the medical officer not get sick?"
My mother's mind suddenly became much more flexible, but she couldn't even tell her.
