Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 75 Proposes the disadvantages of pills, and the alchemist bluntly slanders
"No gift, no gift!"

Li Er smiled and looked at Li Ze, saying: How is my cooperation this time?look.

Li Ze smiled slightly and shouted to the crowd: "I have handed over all other matters to the village chief. If you still have any questions, just ask the village chief. I say goodbye, junior!"

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands towards the victims of the disaster, and turned to look at Sun Simiao and Meng Shen: "Sun Simiao, Meng's main medicine, I need to trouble you to come with me. Your help."

Sun Simiao and Meng Shen looked at each other in disbelief.

Doctor Li actually needs the help of the two of us?
After being stunned for a while, the two nodded flattered, and without asking any further questions, they hurriedly followed Li Ze towards Li Er's carriage team.

After entering Chang'an City, Li Er immediately mobilized all the imperial guards in the entire imperial city and walked towards the Xing'an Gate in the north of Chang'an City. The famous guard circled another piece of land and handed it over to Li Ze, Sun Simiao and others to develop gunpowder.

Li Ze claimed that he would develop gunpowder as soon as possible and could not go to court for the time being, and Li Er readily agreed.

In fact, I can't bear to get up at four o'clock in the morning.

Immediately, Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling and the others and said, "Keming, Xuanling, you will find someone to make the clay pots and balls that Miracle Li mentioned last time, and you can find someone to make the auxiliary machine according to the drawings. splint."

Then I followed Li Ze to see what kind of gunpowder and bomb Li Ze was going to make.

Thinking of the house that was instantly razed to the ground last time, Li Er looked forward to what it would look like after it was made into a bomb.

Fang Xuanling and the others also hurriedly took the blueprints with them, and took a few followers to contact the pottery kilns and workshops.

Li Ze ordered a few people to buy saltpeter and sulfur, and then asked someone to buy dried bamboo.

It's a bit expensive to buy charcoal directly. For Li Ze, who is very good at living, he can save money if he can. Moreover, the charcoal burned by farmers will inevitably have some impurities, so bamboo charcoal is the best raw material.

"Prince Meng, please go to the Imperial Medical Office and find all the people in the Imperial Medical Office who know how to make alchemy, and also bring the Glauber's salt, flame salt, and sulfur from the Imperial Medical Office." Li Ze was on the ground. Digging a hole, talking to Meng Shen.

"Alchemist?" Li Er looked at Li Ze suspiciously, not knowing what Li Ze was up to.

The alchemist himself is responsible for making herbal medicine into pills. Later, as the demand for the elixir of immortality appeared, the alchemist became more and more crazy, especially when the alchemist and the alchemist merged into one, adding iron ore peacock to the herbal medicine Heavy metals such as lead or mercury in quarries made the things made by alchemists more and more outrageous.

Later, the alchemy furnace exploded, killing the alchemist.

So gunpowder took shape.

Seeing that Li Er was very curious, Li Ze followed Sun Simiao and the others to sit on the ground, waiting for the alchemists to arrive, and said to Li Er, "Your Majesty, have you ever eaten the elixir?"

Li Er looked at Sun Simiao in bewilderment, then nodded and said, "I have taken the typhoid medicine made by Miracle Doctor Sun."

Then Li Ze looked at Sun Simiao and asked, "Master Sun's elixir is made from herbal powder? Is there any stone powder added?"

Sun Simiao also shook his head in a daze, and immediately said: "The old man made it because His Majesty's volume moisture, take yellow flowers, licorice, zanna leaves, osmanthus orchid, ephedra, osmanthus twigs, ginger, etc., grind them into powder, and mix them with honey Shaped into balls, these herbs are very spicy, and the soup is difficult to swallow, so they are mixed with honey and syrup to make pills."

Li Ze nodded slightly after hearing this. Fortunately, Sun Simiao added those heavy metal poisons to Li Er.

Seeing that Li Ze didn't speak, Li Er became even more anxious, so he asked even more urgently: "Master Li, what do you mean? Is there something wrong with this pill?"

"It's okay, Your Majesty will wait until those alchemists arrive." Li Ze needs to wait for those alchemists to confirm and separate the alchemists and alchemists completely. Otherwise, it would be too much for these two professions to mix together. Too outrageous.

In the future, I also want to make pills according to the model of western medicine and sell them to the common people. In case some alchemist who doesn't understand adds heavy metals to it, once he eats the dead, his own reputation will be ruined.

Not long after, a group of alchemists came to Li Ze dragging big and small bags. Meng Shen bowed his hand towards Li Ze and introduced these alchemists to Li Ze one by one. When the alchemists heard about Li Ze, they would bring him back to life. The doctor, and Li Er was also on the spot, so he immediately saluted very respectfully.

"Okay, okay, everyone doesn't have to be so polite. Now that the alchemists are here, can we talk about the pills?" Li Er couldn't wait to stand up, his eyes full of anticipation.

Li Ze smiled lightly, then used the system from his arms to take out a small piece of malachite, lead ore, and a piece of sulfur from the package they brought, pointed at these things and asked the alchemists : "Did you add any of these things when you practiced alchemy?"

All the alchemists nodded, and Meng Shen also nodded immediately, pointing to the stones and saying: "Shenglu: mainly used to treat nebula, sores, wind and phlegm, etc.; lead white: used to treat boils, malignant sores, etc.; sulfur: used to treat yang." I feel weak, cold hands and feet, weak and wheezing, etc. Is there any problem?"

In ancient times, almost all of these minerals could be used as medicine. Although they are poisonous, small doses do have the effect of curing diseases.

However, not every alchemist will strictly control the dosage, otherwise they would not be able to create gunpowder.

Apparently, the first person who used sulfur and Glauber's salt to make elixir was most likely a certain emperor. So the alchemist consulted ancient books and found these two herbs, and then added herbs. The herbs were carbonized at high temperature, and the elixir furnace was burned. When it was red, the mixture of the three was accidentally ignited and an explosion occurred, and the survivors listed the substances in it in order to warn future generations.

Later generations improved and made gunpowder.

Li Er, on the other hand, was confused. These things are indeed medicines for treating diseases, no problem!
"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you, I hope Your Majesty will not take their anger out on them." Li Ze said, looking at Li Er.

Seeing Li Er nodded slightly, Li Ze said immediately: "Sima Pi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty died of poisoning after taking elixir. His posthumous title is Emperor Ai. I wonder if Your Majesty knows about this?"

Li Er nodded quickly, and the alchemists behind him suddenly blushed and said loudly behind them: "Miracle Doctor Li, what do you mean by this? Do you think we are going to poison your majesty? We respect you as a miracle doctor, why do you want to Are you here to slander me?"
