"Li Zexuan, can this alcohol really prevent wound infection and suppuration as you said?"
In the main hall of the Qin Mansion, Li Er sat alone at the front seat, while the others sat neatly below.
Li Zexuan was tired for a long time and finally sat down to rest. When he heard Li Er's question, he really didn't want to move his buttocks, so he cupped his hands to Li Er on the stool and said:
"Indeed, when my master treated the wounds of farmers who were bitten by wild beasts, he would use strong alcohol to disinfect them. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can test it at the Imperial Medical Office first."
Li Er nodded. Li Jing stood up and cupped his hands to Li Er and said:
"I implore your Majesty to introduce this strong alcohol disinfection method into the army. The mortality rate of wounded soldiers in the army is as high as 70% every year. Many good men did not die on the battlefield, but died of wound infection. I am really sad. "
Li Er quickly said: "I also understand what the pharmacist said. Li Zexuan, how much liquor of this concentration does your winery have?"
He directly wanted to take over the spirit brewing method to the imperial court. After all, from the perspective of efficacy, this spirit has become an extremely important strategic material, but there is also the Cheng family's stake in it. If he does this , it really doesn’t look good on the face.
Li Zexuan suddenly had a good premonition and felt as if he was being targeted by a tiger. He said cautiously: "Your Majesty, spirits of this concentration have no other use except for disinfection, so There are only a few bottles in the winery, and the boy prepared them temporarily."
Li Er glared and said: "What do you mean it has no other use than disinfection? You kid really doesn't know the importance of it. Just by being able to disinfect it, you can save the lives of countless good men in the Tang Dynasty."
He shook his head and pondered: "Can this kind of wine be brewed in large quantities and supplied to the army?"
Li Zexuan thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder how much of this kind of spirit used for disinfection is needed every year in the Tang army?"
How could Li Er know this? He looked at Li Jing and asked the question.
Li Jing was also a little confused. He knew how many wounded soldiers there were every year, but how could he know how much strong alcohol was needed
"There are about 15,000 injured soldiers in the army every year. Xiaoxuan, you can calculate how much liquor you need to stock up!"
Li Jing could only throw the problem to Li Zexuan again.
Li Zexuan calculated carefully, and after a moment he said: "Your Majesty, I have roughly calculated that the army needs to reserve more than 600 liters of spirits every year to ensure enough."
Li Er nodded and said, "Okay! Then your winery provides six hundred liters of spirits to the Ministry of War every year. As for the price..."
Li Zexuan rushed to say: "At least eight strings and one liter!"
Li Er was so angry that he almost slammed the table, "What nonsense, you have the nerve to earn the life-saving money of those soldiers!"
Li Zexuan said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, this is really the cost price. This kind of disinfectant spirit is more than twice as strong as Shenxian Zui. Think about it, Shenxian Zui sells for five ounces per liter. You If it’s lower than eight liters and one liter, I will really lose everything!”
What he said was not completely false. In modern times, alcohol is indeed very cheap, but industrial alcohol is generally obtained through chemical synthesis, not through grain brewing and re-distillation. In the Tang Dynasty, eight liters of medical alcohol of this concentration was really not expensive.
Li Er said angrily: "Fart, this little wine can bankrupt your family? Stop messing around, just six ounces and one liter!"
Li Zexuan almost vomited blood. This Li Erzhen is not a good guy. He is a robber. He is committing such robbery behavior!
Cheng Yaojin stood up and hummed: "Your Majesty, the cost of this strong liquor is indeed very high. Six ounces per liter will really cost my grandma's family."
This wine shop is owned by the Cheng family, so of course Cheng Yaojin would jump out and complain.
When Li Er saw Cheng Yaojin pretending to be pitiful, he suddenly lost his temper and said, "Okay, just Ba Guan. If you dare to cut corners, let's see how I deal with you!"
After Li Er said this, he walked away.
The big bosses had all seen the excitement, and Qin Qiong was sleeping now. It was not appropriate for them to stay here any longer, so they all said goodbye.
Only Li Zexuan, Sun Simiao, and Cheng Yaojin were left. Sun Simiao looked at Mrs. Qin and said, "General Qin's pulse is stable, his blood is getting stronger, and his body is now the same as a normal person. Mrs. Qin, please be at ease!"
Mrs. Qin thanked her sincerely: "Thank you so much, Dr. Sun!"
Sun Simiao waved his hand, looked at Li Zexuan and said, "Xiao Xuan, I have never heard of those invisible bugs in the air that you mentioned. Can you tell me about them in detail someday?"
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the five movements and six qi, the balance of yin and yang, and the unity of nature and man. The theories Li Zexuan mentioned before really broke Sun Simiao's understanding of medicine. He seemed to have seen the door of a new world waving to him.
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Of course, if Daoist Sun wants to hear what I have to say one day, I will tell you everything. In fact, these small things that are invisible to the naked eye can be seen with some tools. After I make this tool in the future, , I will invite the Taoist priest to visit us when the time comes!”
Sun Simiao was surprised and said: "There is such a strange thing? That is really great. As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is believing. If one day you can really make that kind of tool, you must send someone to inform me. Even if you are thousands of miles away, you must come back to see it.”
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, Taoist Master Sun, I will definitely inform you!"
Only then did Sun Simiao say goodbye with satisfaction. Hu unexpectedly helped Sun Simiao lift the medicine box, smiled sweetly at Li Zexuan, waved goodbye, and then turned and left with Sun Simiao.
When Li Zexuan saw everyone leaving, he was about to say goodbye when he heard Mrs. Qin say: "Xiaoxuan, don't leave in a hurry. Auntie has something to tell you."
Li Zexuan stamped his feet, raised his hands respectfully and said, "Auntie, please tell me!"
Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "What are you doing standing here, kid? Sit down and talk."
Li Zexuan complied and sat down. Cheng Yaojin originally planned to come, but when he heard that Mrs. Qin was leaving someone, he sat down with Li Zexuan.
Mrs. Li looked at Li Zexuan and couldn't help but said with emotion: "Xiao Xuan, your Uncle Qin's illness is all thanks to you, otherwise..."
Li Zexuan quickly waved his hand and interrupted: "Aunt Qin, please don't say that. The Qin and Li families have been as close as one family for a long time. This is what a boy should do."
Mrs. Qin smiled happily and said: "Haha, you are right. I heard that you are going to marry Yu Xi. This girl is my adopted daughter. From now on, our two families will really become one family. !”
Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened. At this time, he patted Li Zexuan's shoulder hard and laughed: "Haha, no wonder you are so kind to Han Tianhu. It turns out that you have fallen in love with his daughter. You are so treacherous!"
Li Zexuan's forehead is covered with black lines. Does this old guy know how to speak human language

This is the third update today, sorry! Something happened temporarily.
Xiake is in his third year as a graduate student this year. Before, he was almost in an internship state. He was usually under strict control by his superiors. He once stayed up all night and secretly coded words every day. He had no time to worry about finding a job. Others around him My classmates have already started looking for jobs, but I am still doing internships and coding at the same time. . I heard from my classmates tonight that there will be several high-quality large-scale job fairs next week. I thought I couldn’t put it off any longer, so I uploaded a temporary resume at night (please tell me, am I ambitious enough?), so originally I could have coded two chapters at night, but I ended up writing only one chapter. I'm so sorry, fellows. I will go to the job fair tomorrow to try my luck. The update at noon tomorrow will most likely be pushed to the evening. I can still guarantee you the two updates. Please forgive me. If I don’t find a job, I will have no choice but to graduate next year. Drink the northwest wind!
Thank you to Childhood Pi Cun for taking the lead, While You’re Young, My Heart Is Empty, and Supreme Gundam’s monthly tickets. Thank you for your support!
