Chapter 351 Ginseng Geometry

At night, Prince Yuwen Weixin looked at a ginseng on the plate on the table and fell into deep thought. He was not thinking about how to eat this ginseng, but wanted to write an essay based on this ginseng as the topic.

It is not a poem, not a song, but a pure explanatory text, and the number of words must not be less than one thousand words.

It is not difficult to explain a ginseng. The problem is that the explanation must be more than one thousand words, which makes Yuwen Weixin feel very depressed: even if he talks about it, he can't even talk about it.

My father also asked for "the words are interesting" and did not write randomly to make up the number of words. All kinds of requirements really stumped Yuwen Weixin.

After writing, I only wrote more than 300 words, which is still far from a thousand words.

Seeing that there was not much time left, Yuwen Weixin could only put down his pen and give up "struggle".

Yuwen, who was reading a book beside him, saw his son admit defeat, put down the book in his hand and asked, "Is it difficult?"

"Um...."

Yuwen Weixin nodded and admitted defeat. Chen, who was a mother, began to feel unfair: "It's too difficult to write more than a thousand words in this ginseng branch, right?"

"It's not difficult. Just in terms of writing skills, a little official who wrote a thousand-word article to the ginseng is no problem. Wuro can't write it because he doesn't have enough vocabulary and can't speak chess."

When Yuwen Wen said this, he began to educate his son: "In the future, if you leave the town and deal with the officials below, beware of these people talking to you in the official documents."

He took ginseng as an example and began to show off his skills: "The ginseng is neither flowers nor grass, neither gold nor stone, collects the essence of heaven and earth, and lives in extremely cold mountain soil..."

"It is neither the plants and trees of the East China Sea nor the strange fruits of the West..."

"Nanliang Tao Tongming (famous doctor Tao Jinghong) has a poem that says: Three branches and five leaves, with the sun facing the yin, I want to come and ask me, and the linden trees look for each other..."

"The virtues and good deeds and good deeds are nourishing the gold and stone, and they are immortal. It depends on this..."

Yuwen Wen said more than a thousand words in one breath, which made Yuwen Weixin dumbfounded. His vocabulary was indeed not enough. He heard that his father forced the word "ginseng" to evolve into more than a thousand words. He was so impressed that he was impressed.

"My father urged you to study hard, not that you would have to rely on academic research in the future. If you don't have enough knowledge, how can you fight against clerks in the future? When you meet two elderly officials who are shirking each other's credit and competing for merit, they are all clever and ask you to judge one by one, what should you do?"

Yuwen Weixin, the fifth-ranked family, is too early to leave the town, but after hearing what his father said, he nodded vigorously: "I understand!"

Seeing the ginseng, Yuwen Weixin asked curiously: "Aye, does this ginseng really have the effect of bringing back the dead?"

Yuwen Wen asked back after hearing this: "What did your aunt say?"

"Auntie said ginseng is a good thing and can prolong life."

Auntie is the name used when a illegitimate son calls her biological mother. Of course, when a child grows up, he will still call her biological mother "Amniang" in private after knowing the difference between legitimate and illegitimate son. Yuwen Weixin's mother Chen believes in the effects of ginseng.

Of course, Yuwen Wen would not say "science" at this time. He nodded and replied: "Ginseng can calm the mind and calm the soul, nourish the body, and prolong life. As for the death to reincarnate... there is no immortal person in the world."

"Then, what about those great monks and Taoist priests?"

"He is just old and has a good look. As for why he has lived for hundreds of years, haha, do he have a household registration certificate? He can't say that he can live for as many years as he has lived."

Yuwen Wen has always forgotten to instill "scientific ideas" and "anti-superstition" in his son: "You have also known a lot of scams of the wise man of the martial arts. The truth is the same, and immortality is all nonsense."

Yuwen Weixin still has many questions, such as whether ginseng can form essence, it is said that if ginseng is first tied to the stem with a red rope to dig ginseng, etc. Yuwen Wen answered this one by one.

Of course, in order to maintain the mystery of ginseng, he would say that even without empirical evidence, he would rather "believe in its existence than believe in its absence."

Seeing that the night was getting deeper, Yuwen Wen asked his son to rest early, got up and left, and headed towards his bedroom. Chen told his son a few words and rushed over. The two walked on the dimly lit path, talking while walking.

Yuwen Wen ordered: "Don't supply ginseng to become a magical medicine. Use it when it should be used, and don't stock up too much."

"But, these many noble ginsengs can't be sliced ​​and made into tea."

"Then you can do it carefully, I really can't eat it. I told the queen to send more."

"Then... does this ginseng really have no effect?" Chen was extremely convinced of the efficacy of ginseng, but when he saw that Yu Wen Wen did not comment, his position was a little shaken.

"Well, I can't explain clearly. I would rather believe that there is than that there is nothing..." Yuwen Wen's words made Chen calm down.

Chen is now in charge of the warehouse, including medicinal materials. Of course, this is mainly in charge of accounting, but there are also many ginseng under Chen's name, mainly for his mother to prevent any need.

Yuwen Wen felt that there was no need to store too much ginseng, because even if ginseng has miraculous effects, it would not be possible to revive. If it is stored too much, it would be useless, so it would be better to "monetize" appropriately.

The efficacy of ginseng is very controversial even in later generations. Yuwen Wen is not an expert and it is difficult to make arbitrary assertions, but it is not wrong to use ginseng as a tonic, so he thinks that he should eat it.

What's more, there are so many ginseng transported from Liaodong every year. They are always treasured as treasures, and the palace is almost turned into ginseng shops.

Yu Wen Wen didn’t care whether ginseng could be resurrected, but he still hyped up the concept of “Liao ginseng” in order to develop Liaodong.

To attract people to explore Liaodong, Liaodong must have some high-value specialties that can bring real benefits to immigrants and have to take effect quickly. Then ginseng that claims to be able to "resurrect" is naturally indispensable.

As long as you dig a hundred-year-old or thousand-year-old mountain ginseng (known as) and sell it, you will earn thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan in revenue. Such a huge profitable industry is even more exaggerated than gold digging, which is enough to stimulate the people to go to Liaodong to try their luck.

Yuwen Wen felt that if "digging ginseng fever" can bring prosperity to the development of Liaodong, what's wrong with vigorously advocating that ginseng can be resurrected?

Rich and noble families who are so rich and afraid of death need hundreds or even thousands of years of ginseng to save their lives. For them, spending more money is not a problem, but they are afraid that they can’t spend money even if they want to spend it.

I felt much more at ease when I ate the ginseng that I bought for tens of thousands of yuan.

Yuwen Wen felt that this kind of money was a crime. In any case, the sign of Liao Shen must be opened and used as another knife to cut leeks.

Many landlords are rich and have a lot of money to lock in the door. They use copper coins to store them in the cellar. They wear clothes made of hand-spun linen on weekdays, and they don’t pay much attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation. They are completely traditional manor owners, self-sufficient, and live on the land.

It is harder to make such people spend more money than climbing to the sky, but it doesn’t matter. Human nature has not changed since ancient times, that is, the older you get, the more you fear death. As long as you take this weakness in human nature, you will definitely make money.

In later generations, why are so many health products for the elderly so popular? The reason is very simple. The elderly want to live a few more years, so the elderly who are locked up again, do not hesitate to take out their savings for many years to buy health products in order to prolong their lives.

As for the upper class, of course, they are crazy about chasing all kinds of "masters". The qigong and special abilities that were popular back then were nothing more than this.

This was the case in later generations with advanced science, and even more so in the feudal era. Countless emperors were obsessed with immortal pills, and the root cause was to hope to live for a few more years.

Even the emperors who stand at the peak of the world cannot be spared. Why do landlords and wealthy people stay out of the matter?

Facing a hundred-year-old ginseng that can prolong life and bring back life to life, who can hold her wallet?

However, there are more than one knife to cut leeks.

A tiger whip that strengthens aphrodisiacs can ensure that a man has not yet grown old. Even if he does not need to have a few more sons to pass on his family line, is it easy to suffer when facing the young and beautiful Xuxian and his concubine who are willing but unable to do it?

Therefore, the tiger whip produced in Liaodong is hundreds to thousands of silos per, or not?

Then, after soaking in wine, you can strengthen the muscles and bones, strengthen the waist and kidneys, and eliminate wind and cold medicine. Do you want to get a few pounds of tiger bones?
