[In the past two days, the grassroots level has been delayed, and I can't help you. I'll have a little more to come. 】

The Huatuo Temple built in the Tang Dynasty, in Su Song's opinion, is far less spacious than the state government. But now that the state government is being renovated, it can only settle down here temporarily.

The main hall dedicated to Hua Tuo cannot be occupied, and a large family of 100 people from the Su family are all crowded into the wing room where Miao Zhu and others live. The narrow and cramped space made the Su family miss the spaciousness of the state government.

Last month, a once-in-a-century hailstorm destroyed more than 1,000 houses in Bozhou, killing as many people as a result and injuring countless others.

The state government of Bozhou was also badly damaged by this hailstorm. From the front door to the back garden, almost every house building has been smashed out of one or even several holes, and almost all the roof tiles on the house have been destroyed. Even the most sturdy lobbies are no exception.

Su Song, who is currently the governor of Bozhou, had no choice but to move out of the state government and select craftsmen to come over to renovate the Bozhou state office. In the hailstorm, the buildings near the state government were also seriously damaged, and for a time they had to live in the Huatuo Temple, which was still intact in the east of the city.

Now that a month has passed since the hailstorm, the affected people have almost been resettled, but the time for the completion of the repair of the state government is still far away. Not only did most of the roof tiles have to be replaced, but most of the structural damage to the roof is not light, and there are too many places to be replaced, and it cannot be completed without more than three months.

The bigger problem is that the city of Bozhou has to rebuild houses everywhere, and the prices of building materials such as wood and lime have skyrocketed, and after the Bozhou government treasury has spent a lot of money and food to relieve the refugees, the remaining inventory is no longer enough to buy enough materials to complete the repair work.

Under such circumstances, Su Song received a letter from Han Gang.

"I didn't expect it to be my father to help him revise the pharmacopoeia." Su Song read Han Gang's letter and was noncommittal, just handed the letter to his son Su Jia behind him.

Su Jia is Su Song's second son, and he has always been by Su Song's side, and after seeing the requirements on Han Gang's letter clearly, his eyebrows were raised, "Han Gang is too rude!" first belittled the "Materia Medica" for himself, and then invited adults to practice the pharmacopoeia, this matter is a righteous person!? ”

Su Song's face couldn't see joy or anger: "Han Yukun's character shouldn't be like this." And what he said is right, the outline of "Shennong's Materia Medica" is indeed unclear, and there are currently more than 300 articles divided into upper, middle and lower grades, so it is better to check and read. However, in the compilation of the pharmacopoeia, there are thousands of prescriptions for medicinal materials, and they are still distinguished by three products, and when the time comes, there is no way to find a medicinal material or prescription. ”

Su Song breathed a sigh of relief, "For my father, I once told Uncle Wang Yuan [Wang Zhu], because of the discussion of political affairs, his son Zhong went to [Wang Qinchen] to serve on the side, and Uncle Wang Yuan ordered him to inspect the history of the book, and said: 'There is a catalogue of learning here. 'Uncle Wang Yuan, Wang Zhongzhi father and son, you also know the Tao of the Tao, the number of techniques, the five elements of yin and yang, and the pronunciation of the teachings. This is the reason why we know the study of catalogs. ”

"Then you can't call the adults around, depending on what the adults are?" Su Jiawu was not angry.

Su Song shook his head and said, "Han Yukun is going to revise the compendium for the pharmacopoeia, and he plans to use the catalogue in the medicinal materials, and take a rope to string all the money. Looking at his letters, there is a mind to include everything in the world. This kind of courage is rarely matched by anyone...... What kind of standard does he want to use to distinguish it, but his father really wants to know the way. ”

Su Song's eyes were full of curiosity about the unknown. The pursuit of the truth contained in the nature of heaven and earth made him not indulge in drinking and feasting, or poetry and songs, like other scholars.

Among the tens of millions of scholars in the world, it was a surprise for Su Song to meet a colleague like Han Gang who also explored the way of nature.

Chaowen said, death can be carried out.

Although Su Song's heart is not like this, being able to ask one step earlier than others is a happier thing than anything else.

"It's not bad to go back to the capital, my father actually has a place to ask Han Yukun for help." Just beside Su Song, there was a claircase on a stand, several times larger than the ordinary claircase, and the objective lens at the front was the size of a bowl. Su Song raised his hand and rubbed the smooth and silky brass mirror, "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Taizu's "Yingtian Calendar", Taizong's "Qianyuan Calendar", Zhenzong's "Yitian Calendar", Renzong's "Chongtian Calendar", Yingzong's "Tomorrow's Calendar", and until today's "Fengyuan Calendar", this calendar has been repaired one by one, but there is no one accurate number. During the Xining period, Shen Kuo was in charge of the Tianjian and raised Wei Pu to participate in the Tianjian calendar of the school, but the "Fengyuan Calendar" he ordered was actually full of errors and omissions. The test of qishuo, the test of five stars, and the test of food are only six or seven out of ten. As a father to envoy Liao, the calendars on both sides were unexpectedly one day apart. Su Song's eyes suddenly sharpened, "The calendar of the Liao people is actually more accurate than that of China, and this is the legal calendar that will be awarded to all the nations of the world!" ”

The acceptance of the era name and calendar issued by the Central Plains Dynasty was a sign of the submission of the vassals. Giving the wrong legal calendar to the vassals and showing all the people in the world shows how much the court will lose face.

"Nowadays, the deviation between the five stars and the solar eclipse is getting worse every year. As a father, he has long had the intention to rebuild the calendar, and since Han Gang wants to help him for his father, it is natural for his father to ask him to do a favor in astronomy. ”

“…… My son has never heard that Han Gang is good at the astronomical calendar, three walls and twenty-eight nights, how many stars can he recognize? ”

"You're wrong, Han Yukun has seen far more far-reaching than anyone else." Su Song sighed and gently tapped the barrel of the clairfront mirror: "The appearance we are waiting to see, what he sees is the essence." The foundation of the changes of the sun, moon and stars, Han Yukun has long seen through it. No one could have imagined that the five-star cycle could be explained so simply. ”

Saying that, he turned back and smiled at his surprised and inexplicable son, "Bozhou has suffered a catastrophe, and the people are temporarily stable, but the yamen is also destroyed. ”

…………………………

Zhang Tun's proposal, Han Gang thought about it again and again, and then wrote a letter to Su Song. And Su Song's reply soon reached his hands. After receiving an affirmative answer, Han Gang immediately sent a letter to the Son of Heaven, requesting that Su Song be transferred back to Beijing to edit the pharmacopoeia together.

Regarding Han Gang's request, according to the news that came out of the Chongzheng Palace, there was a fierce debate in the political hall about this matter, but in the end, Zhao Ji made the decision, agreed to Han Gang's request, and sent someone to Bozhou to give Su Song an edict.

However, Zhao Ji also gave Su Song a Hanlin bachelor and a sentence to Guanglu Temple by the way, after all, it is impossible to transfer Su Song, a high-ranking official of this level back to Beijing, it is impossible to only let him be a pharmacopoeia editor, which is not in line with the reason of preferential treatment of Confucian ministers.

Su Song's judgment Guanglu Temple is basically the same situation as Hangang's judgment Taichang Temple, they are all a number of idle errands, and now they are in charge of the wine, food, and meat offered during the sacrifice.

From the subordinate officials under his name, there are only twenty-one people in total, and Guanglu Temple is actually a little more leisurely than Taichang Temple. Comparatively speaking, the Hanlin Attendant, the official who gave lectures to the Son of Heaven, was a little more important and busy than Guanglu Temple, one of the Nine Qings.

The edict that was transferred back to Su Song was issued, and the name given by Zhao Xu's pharmacopoeia was also determined-"Compendium of Materia Medica".

When Han Gang heard this name from Zhao Ji's mouth, his heart tightened in an instant, this coincidence was a little unbelievable, and people couldn't help but think about the bad things.

However, if you think about it deeply, Han Gang has been talking about the classification of compendiums since he began to propose the compilation of pharmacopoeia, and it is not impossible that this will affect Zhao Ji's thinking. Just like Sima Guang read the eight volumes of the "Tongzhi" at the feast, the original intention was to take history as a mirror and govern the Tao, so Zhao Ji quoted 'Shangjian is not far away, in the life after Xia. This sentence is named "Zizhi Tongjian".

After the Son of Heaven gave the name, the Compendium of Materia Medica Editorial Bureau was established. The main assistants are Su Song, Lin Yi and Gao Baoheng, in addition to a large number of famous doctors, who will provide technical support for the compilation of this book.

The location of the Editing Bureau, Han Gang arranged it in the yamen of Taichang Temple, although the location of the Department of Health and Welfare is a little better, but there are too many idle people there, and it is not a place where you can compile books with peace of mind, and the area of the Taiyi Bureau is too small to make space.

The funds provided by the imperial court to the Editorial Bureau amounted to 300 yuan a month, which was a lot, but it was still one level lower than Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" Editorial Bureau, after all, pharmacopoeia and historical books could not be compared at this time. Han Gang, who worked in the bureau, also transferred a group of officials from Taichang Temple, the Department of Health and Welfare, and the Taiyi Bureau.

With the localities, people, and finances all in place, all that's left is what to do. Of course, this must be the editor-in-chief Han Gang to set the tone, this is his power, but also his duty.

The beginning of autumn has passed, and the summer season is the end of the hottest period of the year, and the sun in the sky is still like a charcoal fire in an iron-making furnace, as if it can scorch the earth.

Lin Yi and Gao Baoheng walked into Taichang Temple side by side, and the deserted compound also made them feel cool all over their bodies. For the arrival of two officials who did not belong to the department, the officials in Taichang Temple turned a blind eye, that is, they just made a salute, and no one came up to help them guide the way.

However, the two of them don't need someone to guide them, and they have visited here several times in the past ten days. In the courtyard in the corner of Taichang Temple, it is the place where they will be busy in the next few years.

Walking into the courtyard of the Editing Bureau, the middle door of the main hall was wide open, and Han Gang was standing in the hall, with two paintings hanging in front of him.

Lin Yi and Gao Baoheng glanced at each other and quickened their pace.

But when the two approached the hall, they found that they were not two trees, but a bifurcation like a tree. At every bifurcation, there are inexplicable nouns. In the upper left corner of the two paintings, there are simple titles: animals, plants.

"Duanming, this is ......" Gao Baoheng pointed to the two pictures and asked Han Gang suspiciously.

"It's a creature tree." Han Gang turned around: "It's also the outline of this classification." ”
