Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

"I owe you another big favor!"

After taking the elixir prepared by Mo Jun, Meng Ao slowly woke up and turned around half a day later.

Although his breath is still a little weak and his face is as pale as recovering from a serious illness, this is actually a good thing. Although the previous Meng Ao was majestic, his actual body had long been strong and hollow, like an old tree infested by insects, completely supported by his last breath.

But now Mr. Mo used the powder of [Life Crystal] to replenish Meng Ao's vitality and healed some of his hidden injuries. On the surface, it seems that the momentum is not as good as before, but the real situation is that a new source of water has been injected into a pool of stagnant water.

Meng Ao felt this most deeply. After taking Mr. Mo's elixir, Meng Ao could clearly feel that his internal organs, which had been withered, were filled with new vitality.

Meng Ao is not an ignorant person.

Quite the opposite.

It is precisely because he is very knowledgeable that he is more aware of the preciousness of the pill that Lord Mo took out.

Such a 'miraculous medicine' is not an exaggeration even if it is described as priceless.

"The general has shown me so much kindness, how can a mere pill be compared to it?"

"Haha~~"

Looking at Mo Jun beside the bed, Meng Ao smiled kindly and had no intention of continuing to say some pretentious words.

Because it makes no sense to say this now.

Some kindness in this world can still be repaid with material things, but some kindness goes beyond these. Of course, there are many ungrateful people, but the Meng clan is obviously not such people, so Meng Ao will naturally remember what happened today silently in his heart.

And what Mr. Mo just said was half polite and half sincere.

Speaking from my heart.

At the very beginning, Mr. Mo did consider the question of whether to save Meng Ao from the perspective of interests?

But when it came to the last step, Mo Jun still took the initiative decisively.

Just like the rush to rescue Xiong Da during the last war.

Continuously calm and rational, with intermittent dementia... This sentence is probably the most suitable to describe Mr. Mo's character.

"It's a pity that I will lead the army to attack Zhao this time. I may be ashamed of my trust in the king."

After chatting with Mr. Mo for a while, Meng Ao suddenly let out a sigh, with a bit of disappointment in his tone.

This time Qin attacked Zhao, there were indeed many accidents on the way.

First, he suffered a defeat on the frontal battlefield, and then encountered a rebellion in the rear. After originally planning to regroup his morale, he launched another attack on Zhao, but before he could take action, Meng Ao suddenly suffered another disaster.

Now that Meng Ao has recovered from his serious illness, even if he is confirmed to have recovered after being diagnosed by Lord Mo and three medical experts, it is impossible for King Qin to continue to let Meng Ao, a meritorious veteran, take risks.

What's more, this war has been fought for a long time. The food and fodder consumed by the 100,000 troops during this period was a huge burden for Qin.

So it won't be long before the order to withdraw troops from Xianyang will probably come to Tunliu.

······

······

at the same time.

In the Xianyang Palace, the communication Black Eagle was specially trained by the Qin State to communicate urgently with the frontline troops during the war. In just half a day, the news that Meng Ao was seriously ill in Tunliu had reached the hands of Qin King Yingzheng.

as expected.

Even Ying Zheng was shocked when he saw the news recorded on the cloth that Meng Ao was seriously ill and was about to die.

To know.

Although after Shang Jun's reform, the Qin State established a new "military merit system", which resulted in the emergence of a large number of talented generals. But there are only a handful of generals who can truly be called commanders.

And Meng Ao is undoubtedly one of the pillars of Qin's current army.

More importantly, in the current conflict between the three forces of Lu Buwei, Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and Queen Mother Huayang in the court, the two major families of the Meng family and the Wang family are very few supporters who have military power and are willing to support Ying Zheng.

Of course, to be precise, the Wang clan and the Meng clan have always supported royal orthodoxy, or the Qin Kingdom.

But for now, these two families still stand on the same side as Ying Zheng.

Although Meng Wu of the Meng clan is now gradually emerging in the military, compared with his father Meng Ao's reputation and status in the military, it is obviously still far behind.

Therefore, if something happens to Meng Ao at this time, Ying Zheng, who has not yet secured his throne, may have another earthquake.

It wasn't until he saw the news that Lord Mo had taken action to rescue Meng Ao that Ying Zheng's nervous mood regained its composure.

"Jun Mo, I seem to have seen this name somewhere."

After confirming that Meng Ao was okay, Ying Zheng turned his attention to another name recorded on the cloth: "If I remember correctly, last time Meng Ao specifically performed meritorious deeds for me and saved thousands of warriors after the war. It seems that he is also the person who dedicated his life to the Qin Dynasty with a 'new type of sword-creating medicine'."

Ying Zheng tapped the table gently, and the memory of Mo Jun gradually came back to his mind.

Ying Zheng was quite impressed by the name Mo Jun. After all, there were only a few people who could make Meng Ao dedicated to him. Another point is that there are countless people in the Qin State who have made various military achievements every year, but there are only a few people with "literary achievements" like Mo Jun in a year.

"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have rewarded him yet..."

Ying Zheng quickly thought of another thing. The main reason why he has not awarded Mo Jun a reward so far is that Ying Zheng has not yet decided what to reward him.

Of course, Ying Zheng had already sent people to test the prescription and the 'new knife-creating medicine' presented by Lord Mo, and he was very satisfied with the results.

This alone is already a great achievement.

But how big this 'great achievement' accomplished by Lord Mo will be depends on another thing.

That is whether this 'new knife-creating medicine' is really as stated in the prescription. It can be mass-produced using only a little bit of discarded moldy grain.

After all, for a country, a 'new type of knife and wound medicine' that can be mass-produced and a 'new type of knife and wound medicine' that cannot be mass-produced are completely different concepts.

If it's the former, then...

"Come here and pass the imperial doctor's order."

At this thought, even Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart, and he directly ordered the imperial doctor to be summoned here.

There is no theory of early dynasty in Qin.

Most government affairs are carried out by officials who submit memorials, and then the king approves them.

Sometimes when encountering some state affairs that cannot be approved, one or several officials will be directly summoned to 'hold a small meeting'.

Only when there is a real big event, the king will gather officials and hold a 'meeting' in the court.

It didn't take long.

An old man with gray hair, about fifty years old, hurried to the side hall with a medicine box hanging on it.

"The imperial doctor ordered Xia Wu to pay homage to the king."

"Xia Wuji, I want to ask you, what was the result of the production of the 'new knife-creating medicine'?"

"Back to the king, the production of the 'new knife-creating medicine' has initially achieved results. However, there is always a slight gap in purity between the 'new knife-creating medicine' we developed and the original medicine previously provided by General Meng Ao. Therefore, I will I was about to beg the king, could you please let me wait to meet the creator of this medicine in person?"

If Mr. Mo heard Xia Wuji's words, he would probably be quite surprised.

After all, even if he had guessed that with the black technology in this world, it was very possible to actually produce 'penicillin', he probably would not have expected that Da Qin would be so fast.

Less than two months had passed since Meng Ao presented the medicine to Ying Zheng, but Xia Wuche and others had already begun to achieve results.

This efficiency is simply terrifying.

"Oh? In other words, this medicine can definitely be mass-produced and used for soldiers in the army?" Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. His focus was obviously not on how superb the medical skills of Xia Wuche and others were.

"There should be no problem. Although it is difficult to extract the core main drug of this 'new knife-creating drug', after dozens of days and nights of research, we can also make this drug temporarily exert its effect by enhancing the efficacy of some side drugs. The original drug has 70% efficacy. But if we want to fully exert the original efficacy, we must further purify the purity of the core drug."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment, he said: "In that case, I know. In addition, the conversation between you and me today is not allowed to be narrated."
