The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 779: Want to find it? They are all in Ji County!

Cao Mao initially had some opinions about this person.

Because Pei Xiu said that he bought the loose items from him, the Cao Xi in Cao Mao's mind was similar to the image of a desperate monk, who grabbed Pei Xiu's neck and asked him to read out his name.

But after actually meeting him, I realized, what kind of master is this? He is clearly a medical scientist!
Cao Xi was well-versed in medical theory. He was proficient in many treatment methods and even took Cao Mao's pulse himself.

When talking about various kinds of poems, Cao Xi talked about several of his own achievements.

He had successfully treated patients through the use of powder.

After hearing this, Cao Mao understood that this was not a problem with the Five Stones Powder, but a problem with its usage.

This thing can harm people, but it can also save people. The original intention of these medical scientists when they created this thing was to save people.

But it changed its nature when it fell into the hands of bastards like Pei Xiu.

Cao Mao put away his fake smile and contempt, and showed more genuine respect for Cao Xi.

When Cao Mao talked to this person about fertilizer, Cao Xi seemed very surprised and repeatedly asked about the origin of the ancient recipe.

Cao Xi was very curious about Cao Mao's recipe.

"Your Majesty, this is the best prescription I've ever found. Although it's not for medical purposes, it might contain something your Majesty hasn't noticed. Could I borrow it to take a look?"

There was a gleam in Cao Xi's eyes. These people who work in the medical field all have a collecting habit.

In other words, today's celebrities all have a collecting habit.

It’s just that everyone likes to collect different things.

When Cao Mao mentioned an ancient recipe, Cao Xi's first thought was to borrow it and take a look, ideally copying it, taking it home and hiding it, to be buried with him in the future!
Cao Mao pondered for a moment, "That ancient recipe is very old. I only glanced at it for a few times, and it has become weathered. It seems that it has existed for many years."

Cao Xi sighed deeply, but did not doubt it.

He said, "This is a common occurrence. I've searched for ancient recipes before, but unfortunately, they always crumble and weather upon discovery, making them impossible to preserve."

Cao Xi felt very sorry about this, but there was nothing he could do.

Cao Mao continued to ask: "What about the recipe?"

Cao Xi perked up again, "Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

He confidently stated, "The formulas your majesty has mentioned are actually not difficult. I even know what your majesty wants to refine. If you add water to the green vitriol, it will become a highly corrosive water. These are old formulas! People have even died from eating them!"

Cao Mao felt a chill when he thought of that scene.

Eat sulfuric acid? ?

Is this the alchemist of the Wei and Jin Dynasties?
Cao Xi looked at the horrified emperor and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. That was the situation before the Han Dynasty. We didn't know these things then. But now it's different. We all know what we can eat and what we can't eat."

You know it's so weird!!
Cao Mao said, "I have also gathered some other people. Perhaps you can bring them with you. They are all very skilled in alchemy."

"Your Majesty, please leave it to me. I will definitely not let your Majesty down."

Judging from Cao Xi's words, simple early fertilizers were not a big problem for these crazy alchemists.

Of course, Cao Mao still needs someone to cooperate with them in the experiment, and then we have to see the results after they are practiced!

Cao Mao explained a lot, and Cao Xi was very serious. He even took out a pen to write down Cao Mao's words.

The two talked for a long time, and Cao Xi was ready to leave. Cao Mao specially bought a mansion for him in Luoyang so that he had a place to stay.

As for the rest of the alchemists, they naturally have to find a special place.

Cao Xi stood up to say goodbye, and when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped again.

"Your Majesty, I am still curious about those ancient recipes. Could Your Majesty tell me where they came from?"

Cao Mao pondered for a moment and immediately came up with a reasonable explanation.

"When I sent Du Yu to Ji County to develop water conservancy, all the people from Sili were there, and someone found the ancient recipe and presented it to me."

Cao Xi was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did he leave.

Cao Xi returned to the mansion that the emperor had rewarded him with and was very satisfied with it. He took out the formula given to him by the emperor and prepared to set up a new alchemy room (laboratory) in the mansion to start refining fertilizer here.

Before refining it, Cao Xi found a few guards and asked them to help him deliver the letter.

He wanted to send the letter to some of his old friends, all of whom liked to collect ancient prescriptions. Cao Xi told them: The emperor said that there are a lot of ancient prescriptions in Ji County that you can search for!
When Cao Xi's letter reached the hands of his old friends, they could no longer sit still and immediately set out to Ji County to search for the ancient recipe.

Many famous people came to Ji County, and the news spread more and more outrageously, attracting more people.

The locals also seemed to have discovered this opportunity and searched everywhere for ancient recipes to present to these celebrities.

At this moment, Cao Mao had not yet imagined that a sentence he made up at random would cause a huge academic sensation.

Koto.

Chen Tai looked at the Wu people in front of him with a smile.

Zhu Ying, Kang Tai, and even several ministers who had experience in sailing in the Wu Kingdom sat in front of him. These people were sent by Cao Mao.

The purpose of their coming was very simple, which was to send envoys to overseas countries, let them know the situation of Wei, and establish exchanges.

General Wang Ji has returned safely from Yizhou. He captured the local Wu officials and re-appointed new officials. He abolished the Wu's reign calendar, etc., and implemented the reign of the Wei Dynasty, which completely ended the Wu Kingdom.

People in Wu said jokingly: Now General Wang has destroyed Wu!
At this moment, Wang Ji was also sitting among the officials, his expression the same as usual.

Chen Tai didn't quite understand the emperor's thoughts.

The Great Wei is not the Wu Kingdom. Does it really need those small countries to come and pay tribute?
As for those small countries overseas, some of them were really no different from villages in Chen Tai's eyes. How could a few thousand people dare to call themselves a country?
Perhaps a certain great emperor really needs the recognition of these small countries, but for a mighty Wei Dynasty that even had to submit to countries like the Xianbei, why would it still need these small barbarians?

Although he didn't quite understand it, Chen Tai had to follow Cao Mao's order.

"His Majesty has already issued an edict informing us. I have already prepared the ships and the men. General Wang will send someone to escort the voyage."

"Do you have any other instructions?"

Chen Tai asked.

Zhu Ying, the mastermind of this mission, said, "Mr. Chen, can we select the sailors and officials for the trip ourselves?"

There was still a smile on Chen Tai's face.

"No."

But his refusal was also very direct.

Even though these people have surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, they still cannot change their identity as old ministers of Wu.

Unless Chen Tai was crazy, he would let a group of Wu people select another group of Wu people and then drive the Wei ship away from the shore.

Are they on a diplomatic mission?!

That's immigration!

Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment, then he explained, "Don't misunderstand me. The situation overseas is different from here. Northerners might be able to tolerate it, but overseas, they will definitely not be able to adapt to the climate. When we led everyone to Funan and other places, even the soldiers in Lujiang County found it unbearable and many died of illness."

Zhu Ying wanted to bring some people from Jiaozhou and Guangzhou there, because the climate and feng shui there were not much different from those of overseas countries, and they could accept it. However, if he brought people from the Central Plains, he was afraid that something big would happen.

Wang Ji glanced at Chen Tai and said, "Actually, he has some truth to him. I led the most elite navy to Yizhou, but I still suffered from severe illness due to acclimatization."

Chen Tai pondered for a moment, "I can let you choose the person, but the final decision will be made by me."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Zhu Ying and others had nothing to say to Chen Tai, so they left the mansion immediately and prepared to go out to sea.

Wang Ji stayed with Chen Tai at this time.

"I don't think these Wu people are that reliable. General Wang, please help me choose the right person."

The two of them conspired in the mansion for a long time, and then Wang Ji left.

Chen Tai was the only one left in the room.

Chen Tai stayed for a moment, then looked outside the door and said, "Come in."

Then a man walked in with a smile and bowed to Chen Taixing.

"Mr. Chen."

"Liu Jun."

Chen Tai looked at the person in front of him, his eyes clearly filled with displeasure and vigilance.

Simply because this person's identity is so disturbing.

Dian Xiaowei.

The emperor's eyes and ears, his henchmen.

That’s right, this person was Liu Lu. Liu Lu looked at Chen Tai in front of him. His scrutinizing eyes made people very unhappy.

"Sit down."

Liu Lu sat aside and said, "Your Majesty asked me to fully cooperate with you, and I will do so."

Chen Tai said, then added: "But I am not Liu Jun's subordinate. If you want to do something, you still have to use your own people."

Liu Lu understood what the other party meant. He was willing to do all the auxiliary work to prepare a retreat and arrange accommodation, but he would never send anyone, let alone get involved.

And Liu Lu never thought of letting the other party participate.

The power of the Dianshifu in the north is already considerable. Liu Lu came to the south this time to prepare to establish a complete Dianshi institution in the south.

All of this would be difficult to accomplish without the cooperation of the highest local officials.

Compared with the north, there are more things happening in the south. People here are generally dissatisfied with the emperor. Those who secretly gather together to insult Cao Mao are considered the least serious. There are also many who are secretly preparing to rebellion.

As soon as Liu Lu arrived here, he felt that one after another human heads shining with golden light were walking back and forth in front of him. These were his military merits!
He even wanted to send people all the way to Funan to illuminate the local map so that the soldiers who would go out to fight would know which way to go.
