Li Yin thought it would take some extra effort to get rid of that Taoist Chunyang, but he didn't expect it to be done so easily. He really didn't expect him to be a charlatan, a pure liar.

He praised Rongda a lot, and Li Min promoted Rongda to be the deputy housekeeper of the palace. Su Morer used to hold this position concurrently, but now she is busy with the shadow guard, so it is obviously impossible to be busy with this matter in the palace. Jin Daqian ran around with him all day, and he should find someone to share some work for him. This Rongda is smart and honest, and he is indeed a good candidate.

Rong Da had already learned about this from Jin Daqian, but when the words came from Li Yin, he still kowtowed to Li Yin and Cui Yingying excitedly.

This time when Rongda went to Chang'an, what really surprised Li Yin was that Li Shimin canceled the restriction on his traveling to and from Chang'an.

Rong Da left, and Li Yin picked up the compound bow to practice archery again. This time was relatively relaxed, and he could finally spare time to practice martial arts, which is the capital of saving his life.

Li Yin lived a leisurely life, but outside the land of Shu, there was gradually a wind of Yizhou in the Tang Dynasty. Those merchants who left the Tang Dynasty took Yizhou's goods to every inch of the land, except for potatoes. The accident of planting new vegetables also brought a flourishing image of Yizhou to everyone they came into contact with. The smooth and hard roads, tough and sharp agricultural tools, countless workshops, and novel commodities, Yizhou is described in their descriptions. Xia became a place full of gold, and this good reputation attracted more businessmen to Yizhou, and then more businessmen brought the same information out.

In addition to Datang, those foreign merchants also targeted Yizhou. For a while, Yizhou was expensive, because these merchants were full of hope for Yizhou's development prospects and wanted to gain a foothold here.

In Chang'an City, the dozens of carts of gifts brought by Li Yin also caused a lot of repercussions among the nobles, the things Li Yin sent. It can't be described as expensive, but you can't buy it if you have money. This time, the gifts sent by Li Yin are all specially made, no matter the paper. The perfume and soap are all high-quality things, impeccable, and the delicious snacks, Sizi, and Li Zhi are all put away as treasures.

"My sister is the biological mother of Min'er. This gift is different. It is several times more than ours. It is really enviable. If Li Zhen has one-tenth of his sixth brother's ability, I will be satisfied as a mother." In Ziyun Pavilion, a dozen or so concubines were sitting and chatting together, and what Li Yin sent them really made them happy for a while, and they all wanted to have a good relationship with Concubine Yang, so that they could get some glory in the future. The things Li Yin sent are really used and not used.

The person who spoke was Concubine Yan, she was the biological mother of the Eighth Prince Li Zhen, and she had always had a good relationship with Concubine Yang.

Concubine Yang was very happy when she heard that, the mother didn't like filial sons, she said: "Min'er, I don't care if I use it or not, this perfume is really too much, if any sister doesn't have enough, you can take it A few bottles to go."

All the concubines looked enviously at the whole box of perfume on the table. There were more than a hundred bottles in it. This was also intentionally done by Li Yin, so that Concubine Yang could use the perfume as a favor and win over some concubines. Let her status rise in the palace.

And Li Shimin. Li Ke and the others had different reactions after receiving the gifts. Of course, what they valued most was the composite bow that Li Yin sent. This kind of bow and arrow showed great power when Li Shimin and the generals were hunting, no matter in terms of power or range. They were all better than the so-called excellent bows and arrows in the hands of those generals, which surprised the generals. Later, after inquiring, I found out that this kind of bow and arrow is called a compound bow. It was a gift from Li Yin to the emperor and princes, and there is no other place.

It was passed on from ten to ten, and the compound bow became famous in Chang'an. Some nobles even paid tens of thousands of gold for this kind of bow and arrow. Merchants went to Yizhou after hearing the news, but they all returned disappointed. Li Min's control over these weapons was very strict. The equipment in the army is not sold by the people at all.

In the army, soldiers are not allowed to carry weapons when they leave the barracks privately.

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian was playing with the compound bow in his hand. Ashinalan stood on one side with a slumped face. Li Yin also gave Li Chengqian a compound bow. It was not that Li Yin was stupid, but that he knew that as long as Li Shimin had it, Li Chengqian He will definitely do everything possible and will ask Li Shimin for a favor. Even if he doesn't ask, Li Shimin will give him a favor. Instead of doing this, it's better to be a favor.

Ashnalan was amazed after trying the compound bow. The first thing she thought of was to master the method of making this bow and arrow, but the result was inevitable, and she failed.

Duplicating this kind of bow and arrow is simply an impossible task. Li Chengqian even recruited the best bow and arrow craftsmen, but he still couldn't do it, not to mention the bow tire made of fine steel, the kind of thing with round ends, the blacksmiths It can't be produced at all, and there is such a strong bowstring that the craftsmen have never even seen it, let alone copied it.

Li Yin sent these things with this in mind, so he didn't worry about it. If they could copy it, it would be a ghost. Because of this, the price of compound bows has risen again and again, but it is still priceless. city.

Not only Li Chengqian, almost everyone who got the bow and arrow tried this way, but the results were all the same, all failed, and this also made Li Yin more mysterious in their hearts, and more ministers were dealing with Li Yin's problems. At the beginning, the attitude was ambiguous. The memorial to impeach Li Yin did not cause any disturbance in the court, and Li Shimin was even more proud of his decision on Li Yin. Now Li Yin has become a big mountain of the royal family and is betting on the heads of these gentry clansmen. Let them become more and more unable to straighten their waists.

And in such an atmosphere, Li Yin ushered in another happy event.

"Your Highness, I left without saying goodbye that day. I have offended you so much. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" Sun Simiao bowed and stood in front of Li Yin. Behind him stood more than fifty people of different ages, all dressed in black shorts shirt, all of them are in high spirits.

Li Yin was instructing the people to plant rice in the field. Rong Da came to him on horseback and said that a man who called himself Sun Simiao asked to see him. Li Yin came back without saying a word, and saw that Sun Simiao and many people were already in the main hall. waiting for him.

"It would be great if the elders could communicate with each other. You can't offend me if you offend me." Li Min beamed with joy. Sun Simiao came back with so many people, which meant it was self-evident, "All of these?"

Sun Simiao did not expect Li Yin to be so magnanimous, and felt very relieved, saying: "These are the disciples and grandchildren of the old man, and the old man left without saying goodbye just to bring them all back home. This medical school cannot rely on the old man alone."

Li Yin stood up and looked over one by one, his eyes narrowed into a smile, thinking that it was right to win over Sun Simiao, and this was still a buy one get fifty or sixty free event.

Li Yin laughed and said: "For this king, the more people like Mr. Sun, the better for Yizhou."

After finishing speaking, everyone laughed. Li Yin then called Rong Da and said, "Hurry up and arrange board and lodging for Mr. Sun and his disciples."

Sun Simiao was not in a hurry, but asked: "Is the medical school that His Highness said is under construction?"

Li Yin did not stop the medical school plan because of Sun Simiao's departure. On the contrary, he accelerated the construction. The medical school has already been completed. It is located in the south of the city, facing the main road of Yizhou. The location is quite good. The place for board and lodging is built according to the hospital outside, allowing the common people to seek medical treatment.

"That's natural, it's finished now, would Mr. Sun want to go and have a look?" Li Yin asked.

Sun Simiao's excited expression needless to say, although the status of disease doctors is relatively high, but they are still below the peasants, Li Yin attaches so much importance to medicine, how can Sun Simiao not be moved.

Li Yin said: "Okay, everyone, please come with me!"

Now Yizhou Medical College has been completed, but there are no disease doctors in it. Li Yin is planning to start recruiting people, but Sun Simiao brought people back, which is really a timely rain for Li Yin.

Leading more than 60 people to the south of the city, the people along the way cast their eyes on them. Many people who have nothing to do are following the team curiously. Now Li Yin has become the weathervane of the people in Yizhou. Min's every move has attracted much attention.

Walking through the East-West Avenue in the middle of Yizhou, the number of people here has obviously decreased. After walking four or five miles, Li Yin took Sun Simiao to the medical school.

The buildings in this medical school basically have three floors. In order to save land, Li Yin used his architectural knowledge to plan and design this new building, but the style still adopted the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty. The architecture is very recognized and has a different kind of historical charm, and he does not want to destroy this beauty.

The medical school occupies a large area, even the upper and lower floors, and it also covers an area of ​​about 10,000 square meters, which is enough to hold thousands of people studying at the same time, and the division of each floor is different. There are libraries, study rooms, and laboratories. When Li Yin took Sun Simiao to watch, Sun Simiao asked questions like a child, Li Yin also patiently explained, and the plan of the medical center in the front and the school in the back was also affirmed by Sun Simiao. The academy brings in some additional income.

It took an hour to turn around the medical school. Sun Simiao spoke excitedly with trembling voices. Li Yin thought about everything from the cafeteria, single dormitory, and bathhouse. It's perfect.
