The Rise of the European Emperor

After waking up after vomiting, Marin sent someone to inform Da Vinci—to make sure that he drew a picture of the appendix as an illustration for future medical textbooks. Needless to say, Leonardo Da Vinci's painting skills, when the time comes, there will definitely be more accurate illustrations in medical books, so that novice doctors can compare them so that they will not make mistakes.

What's more, Marin also asked people to start making catgut for suturing the belly. After all, after the operation, the stomach must be sealed. Otherwise, what if the intestines flow out?

The sheep gut is not directly cut into thin lines as most people think, but is made of the mucosal tissue (many of which are villi) on the inner side of the sheep intestine. Because these internal mucous membranes, whose main cost is protein, are easily absorbed by the body, that is, they help to grow together. Therefore, this catgut does not need to be removed.

The outer layer of sheep intestines is actually more similar to leather. Even, it can be made into bowstrings and leather ropes. Of course, the inner mucous membrane of the intestines is easily decomposed. Therefore, if you want to make sheep intestines into bowstrings and ropes, you need to dispose of the inner mucous membrane. Otherwise, the organic matter in the inner mucous membrane will easily lead to decay. The leather-like outer layer can be left for a long time after treatment. However, if the sutures made from the outer layer of sheep intestines are used for surgical sutures, the sutures must be removed. Because this kind of thread cannot grow with the meat.

The fluff and inner wall of the inner wall of the sheep intestine are very soft and not strong. Therefore, making these inner wall fluff into catgut for surgery is very troublesome and requires very dexterous women. Marin searched for a lot of people, and finally found a spinning master who could turn sheep gut fluff into gut thread. Of course, sheep catgut is not only made of sheep intestines, but also cow intestines. Moreover, the intestinal villi of cows are much larger than those of sheep, and they are easier to handle.

With catgut, plus the already existing alcohol for disinfection and ether for anesthesia, the conditions for surgery are ripe. The only trouble is that it violates the regulations of the Holy See...

The reason why Marin asked the two Mongolian doctors Mozhigen and Battelle to learn anatomy from Da Vinci was because neither Mozhigen nor Battelle were Christians. It is more appropriate for the two of them to come up with the surgery involving anatomy first than Da Vinci, a Christian. People are not Christians, what religious rules should they obey? It will be easier to be accepted if several appendicitis resections are performed successfully in the future. Even, Marin can make Mozhigen and Battelle claim that this is originally an oriental medical technique, and it is not a new one, so it will be easier to be accepted. Moreover, Marin, who invented anatomy and cures diseases, has already thought about it—Hua Tuo... Moreover, this is not nonsense, even if you investigate, you are not afraid to investigate...

Of course, Hua Tuo was more unlucky. He wanted to operate on Lao Cao, but Lao Cao was very suspicious-what? You want to give me a knife? Also split the brain? I will "surgery" on your head first... Then Hua Tuo GG...

Hua Tuo is a well-known figure in China, and with the spread of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in China in the early Ming Dynasty, Hua Tuo has a very good reputation in Ming Dynasty now. Therefore, if you use this excuse, you are not afraid of checking. If you go to the Ming Dynasty, just find someone who has heard of Yi Zhongtian...ah bah, someone who has heard the storyteller talk about the Three Kingdoms, he must know the name Hua Tuo. If the people of the Ming Dynasty knew that the two Mongolian doctors, Mo Rigen and Bateer, had obtained the inheritance of Hua Tuo, they would probably still admire them very much. After all, that is the legendary method of the gods.

As time entered March, while spring plowing gradually began, the auction of porcelain and silk organized by Marin was getting closer.

In order to catch up with the first auction held in Emden Port on March 15th, many nobles from various European countries, or their important subordinates, rushed to Emden Port to prepare for the auction in advance. Representatives of many great nobles came to Aurich to meet Marin. Among them was Marin's old friend, Sir Redondo, a subordinate sent by Jorge de Rencastre, Duke of Coimbra in Portugal.

"Redondo? Could it be the ancestor of the Argentine long-haired football prince?" Marin guessed. But, who cares...

Because Marin has no plans to continue holding auctions in Portugal,

This makes the supply of porcelain and silk in Portugal slightly insufficient. And Marin's old friend Jorge de Rencastre was also very interested in porcelain and silk, so he sent his important steward, Sir Redondo, to Emden to participate in the auction, Get more porcelain and silk and go back.

However, Redondo came to visit Marin in advance, obviously unwilling to raise prices with others like being taken advantage of. Therefore, he came through the back door...

Why did Redondo go through the back door? Because, in the past few months, Marin's intelligence personnel have launched overwhelming and powerful propaganda in European countries.

Relying on the carrier of the tavern, the famous names of porcelain and silk from the Beihai Kingdom are now known to everyone in major cities in various countries.

Moreover, Marin, a half-assed advertiser who worked in an advertising agency for a while in his previous life, also came up with a classic line-"There are not many porcelains in the house, so you have the nerve to call yourself a nobleman?"

This is the influence of the diamond marketing that Marin, a half-assed advertiser, received in his previous life. In the previous life, the famous advertising slogan "Diamonds are forever, one piece will last forever" drove the overwhelming diamond marketing. It seems that if you don't buy a diamond ring to get married, you will not be happy. Then, the matter that could be solved with a gold ring worth a thousand dollars turned into a price of tens of thousands...

Are diamonds of practical value? No, it can be used as a diamond carving at best...

However, because of the successful marketing of the businessman, many women feel that - you don't even buy a diamond ring, and you still want to marry your old lady?

In fact, what if they wore diamond rings? add blood? Defense? Still can attack? Add nothing. However, they who were bombarded by advertisements just wanted it. Men, on the other hand, can only buy...

Therefore, the role of advertising is enormous. A good advertising idea can greatly improve sales performance.

Marin's stock of goods is certain, but he can attract more buyers to participate in the auction through advertising. Invisibly, the bidding price can be too high. Then, his income will naturally be more.

In order to increase the promotion of porcelain and silk, Marin sent a large number of spies to brag about it in taverns in major cities in Europe. For example, "I don't have a lot of porcelain at home, so I have the nerve to call myself a nobleman?", and "I can't even afford silk skirts, your husband must not love you, or he is a poor ghost"...

Then, Spygate also tells a couple of clichéd chivalry tales. Among them, when the big nobles who are villains are angry, they will always break a few precious porcelains... At this time, the interstitial advertisement will appear again-"There are not many porcelains in the house, so you have the nerve to call yourself a noble? "It's like saying that when a nobleman gets angry, he should smash the porcelain...

Similarly, the spies also have their own tricks for those noble ladies - you can't even afford silk clothes, and if you say that your family is aristocratic, who will believe it? Or, your husband doesn't love you at all. Or, your family is a declining poor noble family...

Ladies are very face-saving, and their IQs are not high. After hearing such rumors, how can you give up? Then, their husbands will not be able to live in peace...

...

After this kind of routine marketing bombing, the nobles of many European countries are already very familiar with the porcelain and silk auctions of Beihai. So, although the auction date has not yet been reached, the Port of Emden is already buzzing...

For those nobles, especially the big ones, buying a few pieces of porcelain and some silk is no longer a matter of liking or disliking, but a matter of face. Who wants to be despised because there is no porcelain at home? And which noble lady is suspected that her husband does not love her or her family is poor because she does not wear silk clothes? When the sanity has been lost, the soaring price of porcelain and silk is a foregone conclusion...
