Wild North America 1846

The two were chatting when the Prime Minister's secretary opened the door and came in to report, saying, "Your Excellency, according to your appointment; Mr. Lin from the Ministry of Finance is already waiting outside the door and will report on the financial expenditure of Chaoge in the new capital. Do you want to arrange a meeting? Please show me?"

Upon hearing the words, Lord Liu Daqing immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said goodbye; "My lord is busy with work, and it is inconvenient for me to disturb you too much, so I will take my leave now, my lord, please stay."

"Master Liu, please let me go, please send me off." Prime Minister Pan Shouguo stood up and stretched out his hand to make a false pretense, and ordered the secretary to send Master Liu to the gate of Qingyun Terrace.

Qingyuntai is the official residence of the prime minister of the empire, and next door is the majestic building of the imperial parliament with cornices and brackets, which looks really spectacular.

The various ministries and general administrations under the Tang Empire Government have independent office buildings, most of which are scattered on both sides of Danfengmen Street, and a few are in further districts and are not concentrated together.

As soon as Lord Liu Daqing left, Lin Wanqin, the Minister of Finance, arrived with a document in his hand. With gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, he was a seasoned financial official.

His report on the use of financial allocations for the construction of the new capital Chaoge, which involves neighborhood renovations, new subway lines, tram lines, new railway line construction, imperial government, ministries and council landmarks, road widening, bridges And reservoir construction, No. 1 to No. 5 thermal power plants, etc., a series of construction projects are in full swing.

The new capital, Chaoge, is planned to be officially opened at the end of this century. The Tang Empire is mobilizing a large number of labor forces to carry out a large-scale construction battle for the new capital, which has become a large construction site.

The main battlefield is naturally in Fairmount Park, which is the world's largest urban park covering an area of ​​more than 1600 hectares. It is located on the banks of the Schuylkill River and is a place with beautiful scenery.

The government of the Tang Empire under planning, the landmark buildings of several departments of the parliament, and the new imperial palace are all located here, which is the focus of the construction of the new capital Chaoge.

The allocation of imperial financial funds only involves government-led construction projects, and does not involve the new palace and a series of royal residences. This part of the expenditure is allocated and led by the Royal Household Affairs, which are completely two channels.

After the construction is completed

The plan will preserve the many towering giant trees and the beautiful park environment of Fairmont Park, thus forming a royal palace in the park, a government building in the park, and achieving the harmony between man and nature.

According to the disclosure of the highest level of the empire;

His Majesty the Holy Emperor intends to transfer the imperial power ahead of time, to retire as the Supreme Emperor, and let His Royal Highness Tang-Li Gan ascend the throne.

This kind of secret news related to the imperial power has been circulating among the top nobles of the empire, but no one dared to talk about it publicly, and they all speculated privately.

But many things can't be hidden from others, just like His Majesty the Holy Emperor's substantial transfer of power in recent years, strengthening the power of the cabinet and parliament, and less interference in major political and economic affairs, all revealing that this is by no means groundless.

Daming Palace
There are many palaces and pavilions in the East Palace, and there is a solemn royal atmosphere.

Emperor Li Cha sat at the head of the hall with a dignified expression, watching several imperial doctors busy back and forth, feeling worried.

The person who can make him so caring is naturally Queen Lin.

Originally, it was just an occasional cold, but unfortunately, Empress Lin was very old, and after taking a few doses of medicine, she didn't get better, but became more and more serious.

In this age when medical technology was quite backward, Emperor Li Cha couldn't help but be helpless, and was upset by this matter.

in the temple

Headed by Crown Prince Tang-Li Gan, a group of princes and grandchildren knelt down to serve the sick Empress Lin.

His Royal Highness Tang-Li Kun of Guangnan and His Royal Highness Tang-Li Xin of Pingxi, who were descended from Empress Lin, are not here, but are running the government in their respective vassal states, and have not received any news from the royal family yet.

This was also stopped by Emperor Li Cha. The main reason was that the distance was too far, and a big fight would be involved in a lot of energy for no reason.

The two of them are not doctors, and they won't be of much use if they come.

wait a while
Emperor Li Cha couldn't bear his temper, stood up and walked straight into the palace. The maids and imperial doctors he met along the way paid homage to him one after another, and he strode over with a solemn expression.

When he came to the bed, Emperor Li Cha waved his hand, and the people who were waiting on him retreated immediately.

When he came closer, he saw that Empress Lin's complexion was withered and yellow, her face was visibly thinner, and her temples were intertwined with white hair.

heard the sound
Empress Lin tried her best to open her eyes, and seeing that it was the emperor Li Cha who had come to the sick bed, she moved quickly, as if she wanted to get up.

Emperor Li Cha quickly leaned over and sat down, pressed Empress Lin's weakened body with his hands, and said softly; "Queen, don't move, you and I have been together as a husband and wife for decades, don't care about those red tapes, the most important thing is to take good care of your body." thing."

"Let His Majesty worry about it, it's the crime of a concubine."

"Empress, don't care about these things. Getting well now is the most important thing. Without you in charge of the Six Palaces, I don't know what to do? Everything is messed up."

"Your Majesty is just joking. I don't know how many lifetimes of blessing my concubine has been able to serve His Majesty for so many years? I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany Your Majesty when I am content."

"Don't talk nonsense, my queen wants to live a long life, and I'm not allowed to leave, even if the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth come, it's useless."

Speaking of here
Emperor Li Cha sat up straight and looked around, stretched out his hand to take off a phoenix hairpin on Empress Lin's head, pointed at his finger and stabbed it hard, and then pressed hard, a drop of viscous and thick blood dripped down. Into the jade cup.

Seeing this scene, Empress Lin was about to cry out in horror.

Seeing Emperor Li Cha shaking his head slightly, he forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart, and looked at him with a full face of conviction and remained silent.

The wound that Emperor Li Cha had just pierced had healed quickly, and no more blood flowed out.

He poured in half a pot of boiled Chinese medicine, and melted the drop of viscous blood with a faint golden luster, completely submerged in the thick black Chinese medicine liquid.

thought about it

Emperor Li Cha was worried that Empress Lin was weak and that the medicine would be too strong to be beautiful, so he poured out one-third of the medicine liquid mixed in the jade cup, and personally stirred it in the Chinese medicine bowl with a phoenix hairpin.

done it all

Only then did Emperor Li Cha reach out to lift up the weak Empress Lin, lay on her side on the side of the bed, and handed over the still steaming Chinese medicine bowl.

Empress Lin took the Chinese medicine bowl with her convinced hands, said in a low voice, "My concubine, thank you for your generous gift!"

After finishing speaking, he drank it in a big gulp regardless of the bitterness of the traditional Chinese medicine. After a few sips of "gudong, gudong, gudong", he drank the medicine liquid to nothing.

Emperor Li Cha was always watching Empress Lin attentively. After seeing her liquid medicine entered her abdomen, a layer of blush soon appeared on her face, and then the blush became more and more serious, spreading from top to bottom to the whole body.

Even Empress Lin's fair palms were stained with a layer of light red.

Looking at Empress Lin's expression at this time, she seemed to be a shrimp in a steamer, gritting her teeth and struggling hard, layers of fine sweat burst out on her forehead, her face was as red as blood.

Emperor Li Cha knew that the weight might be too heavy, so he gently held Queen Lin's hand and said softly, "Hold on, I'm still waiting for you to grow old together and spend the rest of your life together."

At this moment, the Empress Ling seemed to be on a steamer, her body was soaked in sweat, and her head seemed to be steaming. She gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously, expressing that she had heard His Majesty's words.

The scalding heat surged through the body, like waves one after another.

So and so
After 3 to 4 times of tossing, Empress Lin seemed to have been fished out of the water. The hair on her forehead was completely wet, and she was lying on the sick bed weakly and gasping for breath.

"How...how does your body feel?" Emperor Li Cha didn't know what consequences his reckless behavior had produced, so he did it impulsively, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Empress Lin let out a long breath, and said in a weary but clear voice;
"Thank you His Majesty the Emperor for your generosity, the concubine feels better.

The inside of this body seems to have been boiled several times by hot soup, after that time, the whole body is comfortable and light.

Now the concubine doesn't have the strength yet, but she really wants to eat big mouthfuls, and suddenly she feels very hungry, very hungry, as if she has been hungry for a few days.

The concubine wants to eat fat, tender and charred steak, two pieces at a time, no...three pieces are not enough.

What the concubine wants most now is to take a bath first, so as not to stink to His Majesty.

Oops...Your Majesty, please allow me a moment, this appearance is really unbearable.

The concubine begged His Majesty to go out first, and let those maids come in to help me change and bathe, Your Majesty..."

Seeing that Empress Lin was in such a panic, Emperor Li Cha was sure that she was really well. He patted her hand lightly with joy in his heart, and said in a low voice; Tomorrow and the next two days, divide it into two doses, mix it with traditional Chinese medicine, and take it to get rid of the root cause of the disease. Remember, this is a little secret between you and me."

After finishing speaking, he patted her hand, then stood up and strode towards the layman.

Empress Lin stared blankly at his tall and straight figure who was leaving, as if possessed by a demon, she muttered to herself; "I knew it, I knew it..."

after a while

The entire East Palace was full of joy and laughter, and the sick princes and grandchildren also breathed a sigh of relief, the joy on their faces was beyond words.

God bless, the empress is well.

After re-bathing, Empress Lin changed her whole body from top to bottom, and she was refreshed. She was sitting at the dining table, eating the fresh, tender and fragrant steak with big mouthfuls.

With the extravagance of the royal family of the Tang Empire, these top-notch steaks and lamb chops are just ordinary food, and the arrangement is naturally quick and convenient.

Emperor Li Cha sat on the other side of the dining table and ate some with Queen Lin. His appetite was always good, and he swept away a large piece of Tomahawk steak, several large pieces of lamb chops, and some vegetable desserts. .

after a long time
Empress Lin touched her belly in satisfaction and said with a sigh; "It's been a long time, it's been a long time, I haven't felt such a strong desire to eat for a long time, and I still have a sense of satisfaction after eating. It seems that I have returned to how many years ago... "

After finishing speaking, she looked at Emperor Li Cha unblinkingly with infinite fiery eyes.

This made the Emperor Li Cha feel a little uncomfortable. He put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth with a white napkin, took a sip of the juice, and then said;
"Queen, remember to take the medicine on time, and there are so many children outside who are concerned about the Queen's health, and they have to deal with it.

Cough cough, I have important things to do, so I won't accompany the queen.

From now on, when the body is well and healthy, the Empress should be more concerned about the affairs of the Sixth Palace, I am impatient to take care of them. "

With that said, he stood up and walked away.

Only Empress Lin at the dining table was left staring at his back with great admiration, until she could no longer see him, her eyes still staring blankly at the direction where he disappeared.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Your Majesty the omnipotent emperor, when did the matter in the harem bother you? I knew it... I knew it..."

Back to Qinzheng Palace

Emperor Li Cha was in a particularly happy mood. He verified the new role of the divine blood in this way. Empress Lin is a person who knows the importance, and she will definitely not publicize it.

in this world
The only person who can make the emperor cherish and rely on as a partner is Empress Lin, and her status in his heart is unparalleled.

The only one worthy of his shot is Queen Lin.

After ascending the throne for more than 50 years, there are more than [-] concubines who have passed away in the Ming court, and they have already been buried in the Shenghuang Mountain Mausoleum, waiting to be with His Majesty the Holy Emperor forever.

In this era when the medical conditions were relatively backward, several concubines in the court died of various diseases every year, which was unavoidable.

From the royal family to the society, the lack of medical treatment and medicine has led to a large number of abnormal deaths. Many people only suffered a small injury or fell while working, and they died due to the attack of inflammation.

Anti-infection is the biggest problem to be solved urgently in the current medical field.

Empress Lin only had a cold by accident, and according to later generations, she had a cold and a fever.

But because of old age and frailty, his own resistance was low, and he almost developed into a life-threatening serious illness.

For this matter alone, Emperor Li Cha felt the fragility of life more and more, so he spent quite a lot of points to exchange for sulfonamide from the system, which is "a hundred waves and more breaths".

Therefore, Emperor Richard hoped that this synthetic antibacterial drug would appear more than 30 years earlier and save more lives.

With this magical medicine, the pharmaceutical group of the Tang Empire Royal can use it as a basis to develop a world-leading advanced pharmaceutical industry and become a powerful industrial pillar in the national economy.

Emperor Li Cha has made three moves before. The first time was to exchange for the petrochemical refining system that has led the world for more than 1 years, allowing the petrochemical industry of the Datang Empire to dominate the world and bringing a steady stream of huge financial resources.

The second time was the exchange of Harvey bulletproof steel, which made Datang Empire take the lead in the world in the field of special steel, and with this as a bargaining chip, it finally won the tacit approval of London; Yukon Province passed a referendum and voted to join Datang Empire territory.

Taking this as an opportunity, the special steel industry of Datang Empire has developed rapidly, and now it has reached the world's top level in the fields of bearing steel, bulletproof steel, spring steel, gun tube steel and other special demand steel products.

There are no shortcuts in steel research.

Only after furnace after furnace of special molten steel is produced, and through countless verifications, can a series of steel products that meet special needs be developed, and the more produced, the deeper the accumulation.

The special steel industry of Datang Empire belongs to the top level in the world. World powers such as Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Italy all import a large amount of special steel from Datang to meet their own needs.

There is no way, the quality of the steel produced by itself is quite poor.

The Armstrong main naval gun equipped by the British Royal Navy, various secondary main guns and secondary guns all use imported special steel barrels in large quantities, as does the German Krupp Steel Company.

With the same caliber of 305mm main ship gun barrels, the life of the barrels imported by the Datang Empire can reach 180 rounds, while the life of the gun barrels made in the UK is only 100-105 rounds. The gap is too big.

nowadays

Britain, Germany and other countries are investing in special steel research at any cost, trying to catch up with the world's advanced level represented by Datang.

It's a pity that one step is slow, every step is slow. With the urgent needs of the military industry in all countries in the world, the output of the special steel field of Datang Empire accounts for 6% of the world, and various special steel products with constantly refreshing technical properties have emerged one after another, forming a good development of innovation. momentum.

This means that all countries in the world have invested in Datang's special steel research and produced one batch after another of special molten steel with different formulas.

Even if the new expectations are not met, at least the performance remains at the original level, and delivery to customers is no problem at all.

If there is a breakthrough in the performance of special steel, then a new product series will appear. This is the secret of the development of the special steel industry in Datang Empire.

As for the customer's order, it is enough to produce a furnace of molten steel for him according to the demand. More advanced performance means more expensive prices, and business at a loss cannot be done.

The third move was to exchange a complete set of production technology for the advanced chemical fertilizer factory for the Royal Coast Company, thus establishing the world's largest and most advanced chemical fertilizer industry, which effectively promoted the Datang Empire's right to speak in the world grain market.

This 4th shot was aimed at the synthetic antibacterial drug sulfonamide, also known as "Bai Lang Duo Xi".

Actually

With the development of the chemical dye industry, as early as 1856, the British chemist William Perkin accidentally discovered aniline violet when he was conducting research on the synthesis of quinine.

It is a pity that he did not conduct further research, let alone conduct biological experiments.

Later, German pathogenic microbiologist Robert Koch used aniline dyes to stain bacteria, and successfully invented the bacterial staining method (the purpose of staining is to facilitate the observation and identification of bacteria under a microscope).

In the process, he discovered that some synthetic dyes have an inhibitory effect on bacteria, which inspired scientists to study the antibacterial effect of synthetic dyes.

It is a pity that Robert Kohli did not conduct in-depth research and apply it in the field of modern medicine.

Prontosil, an orange-red dye compound, is composed of an azo dye combined with a sulfonamide group, and its properties are special.

Only when it is applied in biological experiments can it show a strong antibacterial effect, and azo dyes without sulfonamide groups have no antibacterial activity, which is the main reason why many scientists ignore their antibacterial effects.

Without the biological mouse test, the sulfonamide group cannot exhibit a strong antibacterial effect, and most of the dyeing agent researches are not experts in the medical field, and there is no need for the biological mouse test, which forms a paradox.

Emperor Li Cha was not a chemist, so in order to save trouble, he simply exchanged the industrial preparation process of sulfonamide, planning to use this as an opportunity to develop a world-leading pharmaceutical industry.

Either don't play, play a big one if you want to play.
