Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Doctors have found the source of charcoal poison!"

With Su Shi's great help, the front page of Di Bao published another feat of the doctor.

"Charcoal poison!"

Countless people were in an uproar.

"The quilt has been as cold as iron for many years, and my dear child has been lying on it and it has cracked inside."

Among the people, carbon poisoning is a bad thing. Houses and buildings are not warm and there are very few means of keeping out the cold. Whenever winter comes, people are suffering.

Burning charcoal for heating is probably the only option for ordinary people to spend the long cold nights. However, the biggest drawback of burning charcoal for heating is the generation of charcoal poison. Whenever charcoal poisoning occurs, the whole family will not be spared, and many people will die every winter. Charcoal poison is a hazard in winter.

"Burning charcoal on a high fire will not cause charcoal poisoning, but covering the charcoal fire with plant ashes will produce charcoal poisoning!"

"Burning firewood with wet wood can also easily cause charcoal poisoning."

........................

For a moment, the people couldn't help but be stunned.

All along, charcoal poison is colorless and odorless. They don't know where it comes from. They only know that burning charcoal may produce charcoal poison. Opening the windows slightly at night can reduce the occurrence of charcoal poison.

But I didn't expect that the same pot of charcoal fire could have two states: poisonous and non-toxic. No wonder it was hard to guard against.

"I hate it!"

An old man cried bitterly and regretted that he had not taught the truth in the first place.

He was a victim of charcoal poisoning. In order to save money on carbon, he added plant ash to the charcoal fire in his wife and children's room, which resulted in tragedy.

If he had known about this danger in advance, he would definitely not have sacrificed the lives of his wife and children just to save a little money.

"So what if we know that charcoal fire may be poisonous, but the winter is extremely cold and how can we spend the long nights without a brazier." Someone else frowned.

"Exactly! Although the charcoal fire is not poisonous, it will overheat the fire and it will not burn for long. I am afraid that the charcoal will need to be changed several times a night. The charcoal money cannot be spent at all, and even the rest will not be good."

Many people in Kaifeng shook their heads helplessly.

"Don't worry, the doctor you are thinking of has already thought of it for you. The doctor asked the blacksmith to create a new type of carbon-saving stove, which can not only keep the room warm overnight, but also discharge the carbon poison outside without worrying about the harm of carbon poison." A merchant said in surprise.

"really!"

Suddenly, the hearts of all the people were excited. If there was a way to get the best of both worlds, it would be great news to the people of the world.

"This is still fake! The doctor also printed the drawing of the charcoal-saving stove on the Di newspaper to promote it to the world." The merchant opened the back of the Di newspaper and pointed to the drawing of the stove above.

"I see!"

The drawings of the charcoal-saving stove are easy to understand. The long pipe leads to the outside of the house to discharge the carbon poison out of the house. The iron stove and iron pipes are easier to dissipate heat.

"Well, with this charcoal stove, the winter in the Song Dynasty will no longer be so cold."

Many knowledgeable people exclaimed.

Many blacksmiths felt as if they had found a treasure and immediately seized the business opportunity and started building charcoal-saving stoves and iron pipes non-stop! Even so, the orders received every day are still overwhelming.

"There are still many people who are illiterate and cannot read the newspapers! I am sure that the officials will spread the harm of charcoal poisoning and its prevention methods throughout the world to relieve the suffering of the people all over the world."

Inside the Chui Gong Hall. Su Song solemnly reported to Zhao Xu that not only Kaifeng City, but the whole world was suffering from charcoal poison.

"allow!"

Zhao Xu waved his hand.

The harm of charcoal poisoning has been around for a long time. Even if Zhao Xu was deep in the palace, he had heard about it, and not only among the people, but also in the imperial palace.

Now that doctors have found a cure for charcoal poisoning, they have also created a harmless charcoal-saving stove for heating. This is a cure for the world, and Zhao Xu naturally agrees.

"I would like to inform the officials that charcoal is mostly used for heating in the palace in winter, and the charcoal used in the palace is of the highest quality. If the fire is too strong, a small amount of charcoal poison will often be produced. Under normal circumstances, adults can still accept it, but for young princes and princesses, But he is unbearable and will fall ill again and again. Officials are requested to respond in advance to avoid catastrophe." Fan Zheng reminded.

This is not Fan Zheng’s unfounded worry. In later generations, even Puyi of the Qing Dynasty was almost killed by charcoal poison. Young princes and princesses are even more delicate when poisoned, and palace maids and eunuchs are afraid of freezing the princes and princesses, so they often light fires to keep warm. Princes and princesses will be poisoned and their lives will often die.

"Is this happening?" Zhao Xu was suddenly shocked.

He couldn't help but think of his brothers who mostly died of illness in the winter. Logically speaking, they had survived the poison of cotton oil and were successfully born. Although they were weak, they shouldn't have died so young.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it was probably because of this. I followed my mother, Zhu, and was not taken seriously, so I didn't have much charcoal at all. In addition, I was in good health, so I was protected from this harm.

At that moment, Zhao Xu couldn't help but think of his newly born son and two daughters, and he was suddenly shocked and said: "Come here, the use of charcoal basins is prohibited in the palace. If you need to keep warm, you need to transform them into charcoal-saving stoves."

"Yes!"

Tong Guan responded immediately.

"The officials are wise!"

Su Song complimented.

The other officials also bowed their heads.

Following Zhao Xu's order, the entire government and the public immediately publicized the dangers of charcoal poisoning and promoted charcoal-saving stoves.

In cooperation with the imperial court, doctors officially began to deal with the peak of winter diseases.

Nowadays, the medical family has been unified. With Fan Zheng's order, the medical family immediately started to operate.

Medicinal materials from the Song Dynasty poured into Kaifeng City, and were immediately made into patent medicines and sent to various roads in the Song Dynasty. Major hospitals began to stock up on medicinal materials and medical supplies to deal with diseases that are more common in winter.

With Su Shi's strong support, doctors' measures to prevent winter diseases were printed by the Ministry of Rites and distributed throughout the world.

"Doctor!"

Watching doctors flourish! Fan Zheng's words moved the whole world, and officials from both the new and old parties fell silent.

Once upon a time, medical schools were just one of the most inconspicuous schools in the Song Dynasty. Although there were officials in the court who were both Confucian and medical practitioners, they did not have much say.

Ever since Fan Zheng became a forensic doctor, once the hospital model came out, medical doctors began to slowly revive. Now it has such a scale and such great influence, how can it not make people stunned.

At the same time, the story of Fan Zheng and a group of doctors testing the poison on their own bodies and finally finding the source of the charcoal poison was widely publicized, and the doctor's reputation suddenly reached a new height.

"Buying fame and reputation! Doctors even imitated Shen Nong and tasted hundreds of herbs!"

The old and new parties immediately sneered. Doctors first used a roundworm farm to test the method of solving the problem, and now they have discovered the source of charcoal poisoning by testing poison on their own bodies. No matter how you look at it, it feels like sensationalism.

Zhang Dun shook his head and said: "Fan Zheng is indeed deliberately building momentum for doctors, but it is not to gain fame and reputation, but to promote doctors' experimental methods."

"Doctor's Experimental Method!"

Everyone in the New Party couldn't help but be stunned. They recalled the Artemisia Farm and the poison test, and they couldn't help but understand.

"I think the doctors think they have found the road to great prosperity, and are ready to apply it in the reform." Zhang Dun said with a solemn expression.

Everyone in the New Party couldn't help but be silent. The strong rise of the Medical Party has put great pressure on the New Party. If the Medical Party uses the experimental methods of doctors to implement reforms, the status of the New Party may not be guaranteed in the future.

Suddenly, the new party felt a strong sense of crisis.
