Datang Longya

Chapter 554 Prosthetics
"Use tools to help me connect the prosthesis?"

Liu Yuan fantasized for a while, but found that he couldn't imagine what it would look like at all.

Li Shimin roughly understood what Leng Feng was thinking, and asked, "Didn't you mean the kind where a wooden stick is attached to the broken leg, it's still very chilling!"

There are many disabled people in Datang. Many of these people lost their limbs on the battlefield and survived from the wounded barracks.Some of those with broken legs did not want to lie on the bed to fend for themselves, so they attached a wooden stick to their legs, which made people feel sad.

Many of them were not severed limbs by swords, but had to be amputated after the wounds became inflamed and deteriorated.

Li Shimin is a commander who has gone through countless battlefields, and it is precisely because of this that he attaches great importance to Baiyao and penicillin.

Leng Feng shook his head: "Since the prosthesis is going to be connected, it can't be so shabby. Let's put it this way, if you put on shoes or something, as long as no one touches it, you won't find out that it's a prosthesis. If Wei Guogong works hard, he may not be able to run. Get up, but it's fine to walk like a normal person."

Liu Yuan said anxiously: "It's fine if you can walk like a normal person!"

For some time now he had been terribly tired of walking and crutches.

One needs to be lifted by others, and the other can't walk fast, and stumbles from time to time.

Leng Feng took a sip of tea and said, "Anyway, Wei Guogong has nothing to do recently, so how about visiting the scientific research institute of my Academy of Arts? I will build you a prosthetic limb with Wei Wang and the Gongshu family. With it, don't say anything. Let's go, you will go to the countryside alone in the future to see the farm conditions, and even do some farm work, it will not be a problem."

Without a leg, Liu Yuan would no longer be able to hold a position of real power in the court. That is to say, although he is now named Wei Guogong, he may become an empty title in the future.

Of course, the great merit of getting the seeds can bless Liu Yuan's family and enjoy the imperial salary with peace of mind from now on.

But Leng Feng knew that Liu Yuan was still unwilling to become a waste from now on.

Liu Yuan excitedly said: "Yes, I will move to your Academy of Arts tomorrow!"

Li Shimin took a serious look at Leng Feng. Based on his understanding of Leng Feng, this matter must be very promising. No, it should be said that it can be done 100%.

"Duke Xi, if such a prosthesis can be made, then I will fund it. You can make one for all the disabled soldiers in Datang!"

In the past few years, some businesses controlled by Li Shimin have made a lot of money. Not only has the national treasury been filled, but his small coffers have also increased in several places.Now that Leng Feng has a way to make prosthetics, he can't help thinking of spending money.

After seeing some of Tianxialou's actions, Li Shimin felt that the monarch's money should not only be used for the development of the royal family, it is also very useful to use it for the people sometimes.

Although this is an act of giving away money for free, as long as it can accumulate reputation for the royal family, the money will not be lost.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Leng Feng couldn't help but smile. It's a good sign that the stingy Li Shimin can take the initiative to pay for civilians.

"Of course, we can make this a permanent rule. As long as the soldiers are injured and amputated on the battlefield, the imperial court will fund them to make prosthetic limbs. I believe that if this is the case, the imperial court will not need to issue any conscription orders in the future."

By that time, it is estimated that many people will be able to let go of their worries and take the initiative to join the army.

Li Shimin nodded, that's what he meant.

Early the next morning, Leng Feng walked into the Academy of Arts with his two children.

Ever since they could walk, Leng Feng asked Liu Shuwen not to hold them all the time.Although he never thought about how to educate his children before, Leng Feng still hopes that his children can be more independent.

It wasn't until he saw the sweat on Leng Yuewu's head that Leng Feng bent down and hugged her.

Seeing that Leng Feng picked up his sister but not him, Leng Jing tugged at his father's sleeve.

Good, at least the kid didn't cry for a hug.

Leng Feng was very satisfied, so he hugged Leng Jing again.

Two arms, a child weighing thirty pounds on each side, is also a kind of physical work, so when Leng Feng saw Liu Yuan, his forehead was also sweating.

"Duke Xi now has both children, which is really enviable!"

Leng Feng smiled slightly: "Is there a feeling that things are right and people are wrong?"

Liu Yuan nodded. When he left, there were still slums in many places in Chang'an. Today, slums in Chang'an are rarely seen. The places where farmers used to live were bought by merchants or officials to build mansions.

Chang'an has a big change!

Leng Yuewu pointed to Liu Yuan and said to Leng Feng: "Daddy, why does this person have no legs?"

The black line on Leng Feng's face, that's what a brat looks like!
Liu Yuan laughed loudly: "Tongyan Wuji! Little girl, uncle lost his leg, didn't he ask your powerful father to make his uncle's leg?"

Leng Yuewu immediately looked at her father with admiring eyes.

Leng Feng said helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't lie to the child, I always tell the child what to say."

While the two were talking, Li Tai walked over pushing and dragging a wheelchair.

The one pushing was Gong Shuli, this poor old man obviously still had the energy to play in the wilderness of the extreme north, but after returning to the Academy of Arts, he immediately pretended to be an old man.

Li Tai has been devoting himself to understanding the mechanism of the Gongshu family for the past few years, and now he has almost exhausted it.

Pushing a wheelchair to Liu Yuan, Li Tai smiled and said, "Wei Guogong, it's better for you to sit in this one recently."

Liu Yuan also smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank King Wei for his kindness!"

It is a very happy thing for a king of Wei to meet a Duke of Wei.

Seeing that the master's forehead was sweating, Li Tai came over to share the burden for the master.

Leng Jing especially likes this third senior brother who often takes him to steal ice cream, and also likes being hugged by him.

At this time, Gongshu Li didn't need to be pushed by Li Tai anymore, he turned the wheel vigorously with both hands, and demonstrated to Liu Yuan how to move forward, reverse, brake and turn.

After teaching Liu Yuan, Gong Shuli said: "It is not difficult to make the thing Leng Feng said, but the difficulty is to make you the same as a normal person, and there is no difference from the outside.

It takes a long time of experimentation, and you have to be prepared. "

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "As long as you can walk like a normal person, nothing will matter!"

Gongshu Li nodded. In fact, someone in the Gongshu family once made artificial hands and legs, but after so many years, the craftsmanship has been lost, so he can only find a way to make this thing by himself.

Prosthetic legs are much easier to make than prosthetic hands, but Gong Shuli made one on the first afternoon.

Although it is straight and has no decoration, but after Liu Yuan put it on, at least he can walk two steps without crutches.

"The counterweight is not enough, because his leg was broken above the knee. With this prosthetic leg, he can't squat down. We still need to study this!"
