The group of students who went to Henan Road to build a bridge have not returned for a long time.

After hearing that the gentry clan over there saw several completed steel and concrete bridges with his own eyes, he made another request, and asked the road construction team to build steel and concrete bridges at several ferries that originally did not plan to build the bridge.

The officials in charge of road construction came back after writing documents on this matter. After some discussion, the ministers in the court approved the construction of several bridges.

This matter was mentioned in a small court. Luo Yong's official position was too low and he was not a regular official, so he did not participate in that discussion. It was only afterward that someone told Luo Yong that his disciples and students from the Engineering and Machinery Workshop would probably stay on Henan Road for several more months.

I heard that in that small dynasty, after approving the construction of these bridges, the saint said that by the spring of the following year, these bridges should be completed. At that time, he would take advantage of the railway tracks to visit Jiangnan.

After hearing this, the ministers hurriedly advised him. Considering that the saints have been in poor health in the past two years and are inconvenient to go out, everyone is afraid of a mistake. Moreover, the emperor's mobilization of troops is not only huge, but also many safety issues. It is okay to go around other palaces around the capital. It is so far in the south of the Yangtze River, and many things are a bit difficult to control.

As a result, the saint got angry and complained a lot to the gang of ministers.

He said that he worked diligently and worked hard for the past few years, and had never slacked off. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, he wanted to go to Jiangnan to see it, but these ministers didn't allow them.

This is true. Since the saint ascended the throne, they have never slacked off their work. They are even famous wise rulers who are good at accepting advice. However, this wise ruler's evaluation was achieved after much effort and price.

In recent years, the court has opened up a wide range of opinions, and ministers and ministers are very brave to say it. Generally, even if they say the wrong thing, there is no big deal. At most, there is no hope of promotion. I have never heard of losing my head.

In this case, he will inevitably listen to a lot of things he doesn't like to listen. He not only needs to listen, but also tolerate it. Now that he is old this year, he often asks people to complain, so he just needs to listen to it. But some people are not willing to let go of big and small matters, and they have to fight him hard everywhere.

In Luo Yong's opinion, there is no need for this. After all, the emperor is also a human being, and it is indeed not easy for him in his life.

These days, Sun Simiao entered the palace to treat the saint. When he went back, he heard that Luo Yong was at the Wannian County Duke's Mansion on that day, so he went over to find him and said a few words.

He has read many books and done a lot of research in recent years. However, due to the limitations of conditions, he always encounters various problems. He always feels that this and that are not possible, which makes the old man a little impatient. Luo Yong advises him not to be anxious, and he has to take everything slowly.

"I am so old, how many years will I have to wait?" Old Sun also complained.

"You have so many years now." Luo Yong said with a smile. In history, when Li Zhi became the emperor, the old man lived well and lived for many years.

Sun Simiao is also quite busy at the moment. After a few chats with Luo Yong, he set off for Zhongnan Mountain.

He did not mention the saint's condition, nor did Luo Yong ask.

Sun Simiao has been living in Zhongnan Mountain in recent years and has stopped traveling around the world. Many people want to find him to see a doctor, so they go to Zhongnan Mountain.

The palace would invite him to come to see a saint from time to time. He has been easier to speak in the past two years. Generally speaking, if he is to see a monarch and prince, he would probably come, unlike before, where he could hide, and he would push.

At the end of this summer, Sun Simiao also did a big thing at Zhongnanshan Medical Center.

There was a fellow Taoist who used to talk about learning and studying elixirs and Taoism with him. When he already had three children, at the end of last winter, his wife was pregnant again and had a child in old age. The couple were also very happy.

But after gradually showing signs of conceit, an experienced midwife and he said that the fetus is not good, and the fetus is probably a bit dangerous, so it is better to take medicine early and get aborted.

The two of them were happy. How could they be willing to do so? If they dragged it again and again, the bigger the belly, the more they could see that something was wrong. The doctors and midwives who had seen it all said that this fetus was too dangerous.

So they went to Zhongnan Mountain to seek medical treatment. At that time, the fetus in the belly was already old and the pregnant woman was a little old. Forcibly aborted abortion was also dangerous. After weighing the two, they finally decided to take the risk of giving birth.

At the end of the summer, the woman gave birth in Zhongnan Mountain. The delivery process was not smooth, but the baby was finally born safely and the woman was well.

Not long after, there was a rumor in the public that the baby was born with a caesarean section, and that the woman had a knife cut more than three inches long on her belly, which was left behind when she gave birth.

Zhongnanshan Medical Center handled this matter very low-key and deliberately promoted it. When some people asked about it, they often said that such a childbirth was quite dangerous and should not be followed.

However, this could not stop many families from flocking to Zhongnan Mountain with their pregnant women, especially those doctors and midwives said that this child was dangerous and difficult to give birth, so they even wanted to go.

Although the method of caesarean section seemed very dangerous to people at that time, in this era, it is dangerous for women to give birth. Once they cannot give birth naturally, they will often suffer human life. Sometimes they can barely protect adults or children, and sometimes they often have one corpse and two lives.

In this case, many people would like to try any chance of survival if they could increase their chances of survival. Moreover, Sun Simiao was also a famous miracle doctor. The method of cowpox early gave him a high reputation among the people, and people at that time believed in his medical skills.

Since these people have already arrived in Zhongnan Mountain, Sun Simiao and his disciples naturally don’t stand by and watch, and then help several women give birth to a caesarean section.

A few years ago, Ma Feiyang, who had not seen for a long time, returned from Jiangnan and came to Luo's yard as a guest. Luo used someone to prepare a table of wine and food to entertain him.

After drinking and eating, they leaned on the kang in the main hall and talked, and they mentioned the clinic in Zhongnan Mountain.

"...There is a daughter-in-law of a shop on our street. She said earlier that her fetus was not good, so she went to Zhongnan Mountain to give birth." Ma Feiyang said.

"But it was a severance?" Aunt Luo has also been quite concerned about these things recently.

"Secretly," Ma Feiyang replied, "I heard from the woman in the neighborhood that there was a centipede-like scar on her belly, just as long as her fingers." Ma Feiyang said, and stretched out his hand to gesture.

Although this person has not seen the Luo family for a long time, he is now here to visit and sit in the same place with Aunt Luo and others and talk. He is still very comfortable. He is still the same as before, but his words and deeds are a little more steady than before.

"You know very much, but I'll ask for your wife?" Aunt Luo joked.

"She never refused to give birth again. When she said she wanted to cut off her belly, she was even more scared." Ma Feiyang waved her hands repeatedly.

Ma Feiyang and his wife met when they were collecting tea in Jiangnan. His wife was also from a businessman family. The first time they met, they met these two, and they were even more loving after marriage.

They also had a daughter, about the same age as Fei'er. On that day, Ma Feiyang boasted with Aunt Luo and others, saying that his daughter was so powerful, that she really learned the strengths of them. Ye Niang had learned all the advantages she had.

The aunt told him not to brag, and brought the little lady to the next day and asked her to fight Fei'er to see who is so powerful.

These words made Qi Niang and the others laugh. Fei'er also sat aside, clapping his hands and laughing.

After spending most of the time in the Luo family, before leaving, Ma Feiyang talked about some business matters with Luo Yong.

The two most profitable industries in the Ma family are Eucommia Glue and tea. Most of the teas are purchased and processed after they are processed, and they often buy spots. Most of the Eucommia Glue is produced by its own manors. The Ma family has invested in many Eucommia Glue Manors in Shannan Road in recent years.

This time, Luo Yong told him that when he was traveling before, he heard from the merchant who transported goods that there are grass in the north that can produce rubber, and locals call it rubber grass, but they don’t know whether it is true or false.

After Ma Feiyang returned, he repeated Luo Yong's words to his father. After hearing this, his father thought about it for a while and said:

"It may not be that rubber grass. Luo Sanlang is just a reminder, but there is also a reason for this. The business of Eucommia ulmoides is probably not very long."

Ma Feiyang's father thought Luo Yong must have known something, but it was difficult to explain it clearly, so he made excuses.

After all, the north is remote and cold, and it is probably difficult to plant crops there in the Tang Dynasty. Since it cannot be planted here, how can gum grass replace Eucommia?

His guess is somewhat similar to the facts. The grass that can produce rubber does exist, but the rubber it produces is very thin and soft, and it is afraid of the sun, so it may not be able to replace Eucommia ulmoides.

In fact, rubber is the one that can really bring impact to the Eucommia rubber industry.

The rubber tree was originally grown in the Amazon plains in South America. The American continent had not been discovered by people on the Eurasian continent at this time. Logically speaking, Luo Yong should not know the existence of the rubber tree now, so he made a statement about rubber grass, not mentioning rubber.

In the past two years, sea transportation between the East and the West has developed greatly, and there is also a compass. According to this situation, it should be a matter of time before the discovery of the American continent.

But no matter what, it should be no problem to do the Eucommia ulmoides for another 10 or 20 years. The growth of trees requires a cycle. Even if someone discovers rubber trees now, large-scale planting will not be achieved overnight.

Rubber trees like hot and humid. In the 21st century, the two most important production areas in China were Hainan and Yunnan.

Yunnan was not the territory of the Tang Dynasty at this time, but belonged to Tubo. The main ones that could be developed and planted with rubber were Yazhou and Jiaozhou. Yazhou was located in Hainan, and Jiaozhou was located in Vietnam in later generations. These two places are currently very remote places of exile.

One trip will go ten thousand miles, one trip will go thousands of times but one will never return.

Where is Yazhou? I will live through the gates of hell.

This is a poem from the Middle Tang Dynasty, which describes the pain of exile in Yazhou.
