Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhang Juzheng slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhao Hao seriously.

    Qi Jiguang also regained his falcon-like gaze, and instantly he seemed like a different person.

    "Don't be nervous, it's not that someone poisoned it, it's the fish itself that has a problem."

    "What's wrong with this fish?" Zhang Juzheng looked slightly relieved.

    "Do you know how it was transported?"

    "I just said, use ice ships."

    "When I was born in Jinling in the late 1990s, I went to see how they kept food fresh." Zhao Hao said unhurriedly: "I found that in order to keep the fish fresh, the fish must be packed in large lead boxes, and then put in solidified pig boxes.  oil, then freeze it in layers with ice cubes.¡±

    "Yes, that's right." Zhang Juzheng nodded and asked, "Is there any problem?"

    "The problem lies in the lead box," Zhao Hao organized his language and explained: "There is a branch of chemistry in science that specializes in the study of various materials. In chemistry, lead is called a heavy metal. Using lead boxes to store food is  Very dangerous.¡±

    "Because free lead ions can cause food contamination. In mild cases, it can cause dizziness, fatigue, and loss of appetite; in moderate cases, it can cause anemia, and in severe cases, it can cause toxic encephalopathy, leading to madness and premature death."

    "Is it so serious?" Zhang Juzheng subconsciously touched his beard and said, "You have been eating Bugu for several years and you don't feel anything?"

    ¡°It will be too late when you feel it, Mr. Zhao.¡± Zhao Hao sighed, this is not alarmist.

    There is a consensus among historians that ancient Rome was destroyed by severe lead poisoning.

    Various Ming Dynasty notes say that Zhang Juzheng was addicted to anchovies and ate hundreds of them every year.

    Therefore, many researchers in later generations believe that Zhang Juzheng's many crazy behaviors and early death in his later years may be related to the serious excess of blood lead in his body.

    Of course, there is another theory pointing to Qi Jiguang

    No matter which one, Zhao Hao hopes to avoid it as much as possible.  Allowing Zhang Juzheng to live for one more year would be a great help to the Ming Dynasty and himself.

    "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall." He raised his hands and admonished with a serious look: "My Lord, your body is connected with the world. You should cherish this body for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. I would rather believe that you have it than that you don't have it."

    Qi Jiguang has a very cautious temperament. Hearing this, he nodded and agreed: "Yes, sir, the fish from Yongding River is not bad in taste. Since Mr. Zhao said so, there is really no need to take risks anymore."

    "Yes." Zhang Juzheng nodded silently, glanced at the three delicacies of the Yangtze River reluctantly, and waved his hand to let people move away.

    Zhao Hao asked him again how much he had eaten in Beijing.

    Fortunately, during the Jiajing period, Zhang Juzheng was no more than a fifth-rank official, so the emperor's rewards were not his turn.  I can only try to get two of them every year, just to try something new.

    Even though it was a very expensive year last year, because Emperor Jiajing was newly mourned, Longqing did not reward him lavishly. He only ate about ten pieces.

    From this point of view, the problem should not be big.

    He then told Zhang Juzheng to eat garlic, milk and eggs regularly, and eat more apples, oranges, kiwis These things can help eliminate lead poisoning from the body.

    Zhang Juzheng wrote it down very carefully, cupped his hands to Zhao Haogong and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Bu Gu will never touch these distant tributes again in the future."

    Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Zhang Juzheng didn't care and wouldn't listen to his words at all.

    Fortunately, Mr. Zhang is still afraid of death.

    "And when Zhang Juzheng read the history books, he discovered that all emperors who made elixirs and took medicine basically did not live long, or like the late emperor, they went crazy in their later years

    He had read the late emperor¡¯s medical records from the Tai Hospital and knew that the late emperor¡¯s symptoms were very similar to the lead poisoning that Zhao Hao said.

    And lead and mercury are the two main ingredients that all alchemists cannot avoid when making alchemy.

    Thinking about it this way, it is simply a miracle that the late Emperor lived to be sixty years old despite taking drugs day after day.

    Of course, this is just a guess, but in such a matter of life and death, there is really no need to show off

    ??~~

    After a while, the cook changed the table of food and wine.

    But after the commotion just now, everyone lost their appetite, so they still focused on talking.

    During the dinner, Zhang Juzheng wanted to ask Zhao Hao to tutor his sons.

    Zhao Hao quickly explained it to him, so as not to be considered by his idol as a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation.  "To be honest with Mr. Zhang, science is not a matter of imperial examination. Even those born late are not good at imperial examination."

    "Oh?" Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang were both a little surprised. It was hard to imagine that the teachers of the five Jinshi were not good at doing business.

    ¡°The disciples were already relatively good at their careers, and they paid homage several times.To be a teacher is to lift people up.  Zhao Hao explained half-truthfully: "It is because science helps train thinking and strengthen logic that it helps them improve their performance."  "

    Um.  It's not because I, the young master, have the skills to hit the mark 100% of the time.

    "That's it" Zhang Juzheng, instead of looking down on Zhao Hao, said even more happily: "Okay, very good. What does that say? Oh yes, science means seeking truth from facts."

    Zhao Hao didn¡¯t blush and thought to himself, it¡¯s a pity that scientists can lie.

    However, Zhang Juzheng still hopes that Zhao Hao can take the time to teach them science

    I guess it¡¯s because Zhao Hao said science can improve imperial examination scores, right?

    Zhao Hao couldn't shirk it, so he made an agreement with Prime Minister Zhang to come out one afternoon every five days to give a science lesson to his young masters.

    For this reason, Zhang Juzheng even asked his five sons to come out and pay homage to the newly hired teacher.

    It¡¯s a pity that Shu Xiu¡¯s calculations were not mentioned, and Zhao Hao didn¡¯t dare to ask.

    ????????????????????? Hey, you are lucky enough to be able to serve idols, and you don¡¯t have to pay for it.

    When the five boys heard that they would have one afternoon every five days without studying with Mr. Cheng, they grinned to the back of their heads.

    ¡°I also heard that I was learning science from Zhao Hao, and even the most composed Jingxiu couldn¡¯t help but cheer.

    Because those little science toys are so fun

    They naively think that learning science is also a very happy thing.

    hehe¡­¡­

    ??~~

    After finishing their lunch, Zhao Hao and Qi Jiguang left wisely.

    When leaving, Zhang Juzheng deliberately pulled Zhao Hao aside and whispered to him: "Your three disciples, don't have high hopes for the Hanlin Academy election in the future."

    "Oh?" Zhao Hao knew what was going on and pretended to be surprised.  "They are all among the top thirty-six of the second division."

    "That's just an established rule. Now that your majesty has broken the rules of the palace examination, you can't blame Mr. Xu Ge for breaking the rules of selecting common people." Zhang Juzheng sighed and introduced the situation of the palace examination to Zhao Hao in a few words.

    Hearing this, Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, isn¡¯t Emperor Longqing a little bee?  Why can it sting people?

    "Bu Gu can help you keep one spot at most." Zhang Juzheng asked in a low voice: "Which one do you want to get?"

    "We need to go back and ask about this." Zhao Hao whispered: "Their fate should be decided by themselves."

    "That's fine." Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "I won't be on duty tomorrow. Once I've decided, I'll let You Qi know."

    "Thank you very much, sir." Zhao Hao saluted deeply.

    "The purpose of not having grain is to promote science." Zhang Juzheng said lightly.

    Hearing this, Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment. He never expected that during a lecture in Lingji Palace, he would actually hook up a golden ally for our sect
