Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 616 Artifact Appears

  Fang Jifan first dried all the bark, and then ordered people to crush it into ash.

  The first batch of bark, the bark ash obtained is about a hundred catties.

   It doesn’t seem like much, but if you mix it with other medicines, such as the lime base used to make quinine, Artemisia annua, etc., you can get about three hundred catties of medicine.

  In fact, in later generations, the real anti-malarial magic weapon is the artemisinin produced by Ms. Tu yoyo. However, at the level of Fang Jifan, it is undoubtedly a dream to extract artemisinin from Artemisia annua.

  Simple Artemisia annua, although it has an auxiliary effect against malaria, cannot be made into a specific drug, so it can only be used as an auxiliary drug.

   After a busy day, hundreds of people worked day and night, and on the third day, this simple quinine was finally made.

  Three hundred catties of quinine, with the efficacy of this quinine, is actually enough to deal with the current epidemic.

  Generally taking medicine is only a few grams, and not everyone needs to take medicine, except for critically ill patients. If the body can handle it, let them take it first.

  Of course, to eradicate epidemic diseases, special medicine alone is not enough, and disease prevention and treatment is also required.

  At first, people didn’t know where the disease came from. They only thought it was the acclimatization of the soil and water. They had a natural fear of the disease. Some people even thought that it was a plague that God wanted to spread, so they allowed the disease to spread at any time.

There are even some people who fail to find the correct treatment method after getting sick, treat indiscriminately, take many medicines that should not be taken, or do some things that are not helpful to the condition, but harmful. In the end, this minor illness becomes a serious illness. Immediately lethal.

Although the Chinese medicine at this time is much better than the so-called medical skills of Franji, it is still not enough to kill witches everywhere when you get the plague, or just come to bloodletting therapy, no matter what the disease is, let a few catties of blood first If it's not enough, add a few more pounds.

   But after all, in this era, people basically have no understanding of modern medicine. Many so-called epidemic diseases often have wrong treatment methods, resulting in more people dying on a large scale.

Fang Jifan began to write books, and roughly told his father that the usage of this special quinine drug can only be used for severe patients, and this malaria is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes, so the military camps in various places need to start immediately. There are puddles and wet places in the house, especially those places where mosquitoes are easy to breed, and should be treated to prevent the influence of mosquitoes.

   In addition to this, there are some ways to reduce the symptoms of malaria.

  As long as mosquitoes can be eliminated, the spread of this disease can be alleviated on a large scale.

  A letter from home, quickly packaged, together with hundreds of catties of quinine, was dispatched urgently towards Guizhou!

Because time is the most important thing about human life, Fang Jifan used hundreds of fast horses and dozens of knights, each carrying several catties of sealed medicine, and asked them to disdain day and night, along the official road, constantly changing horses along the way to Guizhou In the direction, send it urgently.

  Waiting for the medicine to be delivered, Fang Jifan felt more at ease.

  He can't take care of other things these few days, but he doesn't know that Xishan Medical College is already very lively at this time.

  Many people have begun to inquire about how to have children.

  After learning that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had impregnated seven women, the entire capital almost exploded.

  People were talking about this frantically, and while countless people felt joy and encouragement, they also raised a question.

  According to gossip, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be infertile, but it is also strange. It is said that it was cured in Xishan. It seems to be called circumcision, and the child will come out soon after cutting it with a knife!

  In this era when there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no heir is the greatest, having no heirs is a matter of the sky falling. I don’t know how many people seek medical treatment everywhere for the sake of children, and I don’t know how many people are so anxious that their husbands and wives are at odds.

  Now here in Xishan, there are not many people who want to come for circumcision, and even some foreigners from nearby have rushed to come here, wanting to get medical treatment.

  Xishan Medical College, there is no shortage of people who want to be circumcised.

  Even if it costs a tael of silver for one cut, the person who wants to circumcise is still like a crucian carp in a river.

  The School of Medicine did not rashly start to use the knife. Although it is a simple operation, there is no shortage of patients, but what is lacking is the doctor who performs the surgery.

As a result, dozens of able-bodied scholars were selected to enter the medical school and began to train and study, responsible for teaching some theoretical knowledge, such as pre-operative treatment and post-operative treatment, such as anesthesia knowledge, such as the usage of golden sore medicine, For example, the person who sterilized the equipment was Su Yue, Fang Jifan's disciple.

   And it was Liu Yidao who was in charge of leading people to practice surgery.

   At this moment, Liu Yidao has rejuvenated his second life.

Although he used to cut those things, after all, such things are more sinful, but now, they are cut for the sake of the family. Suddenly, his status has risen to a very high level, from a low-ranking person to being respected For Dr. Liu.

  Liu Yidao never dreamed that he would be respected by others, and there were dozens of apprentices under him. These knowledgeable scholars surrounded him every day and were yelled at by him.

Not only that, the town government also awarded him a medical officer. Although he is a small ninth-rank official, he is satisfied, because here, he still has a salary. It's like carrying the wind.

  In Xishan Medical College, more than a dozen silkworm rooms have begun to be built. All medical equipment are specially customized, and other things such as bandages, gauze, alcohol, etc. are also well prepared.

   In addition, there are special wards, and a group of households trained as nurses.

  The remuneration here is obviously much more generous than other places. After all, this knife is worth a tael of silver. It is safe and fast, and there are almost no future troubles. The profit is huge.

  Since you are willing to spend money to recruit people, you don’t have to worry about having no one.

This circumcision technique is the simplest, much easier than cutting kidneys, and even less difficult than Liu Yidao's original cutting. Therefore, it only takes a few days, more than a dozen chief surgeons and dozens of assistants, and Thirty or forty nurses are ready.

  Countless people flocked to Xishan Medical College. Cutting everything has become a very healthy thing. Even for those who are not married, it is said that cutting everything has great benefits!

  The doctors in Xishan are a little unfamiliar at first, but practice makes perfect. After cutting a few more, they become proficient at once, and even stitches look better.

   Two days later, Zhu Houzhao, who hadn't shown up, finally came to Xishan again.

   These days, he has been staying in the East Palace, like a wounded beast, licking his own wounds.

  Now, when Xiao Zhu was out of the slaughterhouse, when he saw Fang Jifan, his expression was not good, and he said with wide eyes: "Old Fang, have you heard? Your father is sick!"

  Actually, a few days ago, Zhu Houzhao was not willing to pay attention to Fang Jifan, after all, this time he was really hurt.

   But when he heard that something happened to Fang Jinglong, Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear it after all.

  What's more, it won't work for him to ignore Fang Jifan. There are academies, medical schools, and Wen Yansheng in Xishan, and there are many things that he can't let go of.

   But Fang Jifan's reaction seemed to be very calm, not at all anxious and anxious as Zhu Houzhao thought!

  Zhu Houzhao was annoyed, and couldn't help but said: "Oh, it's too bad, this is a serious illness, why are you still here and not going to Guizhou? Lao Fang, aren't you worried?"

  The expression on Fang Jifan's face was still peaceful, he even shook his head frankly, and looked calmly at Zhu Houzhao who was about to stomp his feet in a hurry.

  Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

  Fang Jifan said very heartlessly: "Life is a matter of life and death, I believe my father will be fine."

  Zhu Houzhao blinked, then sighed, as if he felt that Fang Jifan was overly sad and had gone crazy.

   Then he patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, I forgive you."

  Fang Jifan saw that he was very serious, and he was also quite touched: "Thank you, Your Highness, but has your Highness thought about one thing?"

  Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan curiously: "What?"

Fang Jifan said: "Before, the friction between An Nanguo and my Ming Dynasty was getting more and more intense. I'm afraid everyone in Annan Kingdom felt a lot of uneasiness. After all, I, Da Ming, once took advantage of Annan, and this Annan was very wary of my Daming, not to mention that Annan has always been rebellious. Taming, with wolf ambitions. At this time, the relationship with Annan was the worst, but a disease suddenly broke out in the southwest, and the military and guards everywhere were affected. Your Royal Highness, do you think Annan...is there a preemptive strike? possible?"

   "It's better to strike first?" Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "Is it possible?"

Fang Jifan smiled slightly and said: "Annan Kingdom has become king and hegemony in the West, and they have long been arrogant and arrogant. What's more, they thought they defeated the Ming army and were able to recover Annan, but I was the weakest in the Southwest of the Ming Dynasty. Don't be wary."

  When it comes to military affairs, Zhu Houzhao is most interested in it, and he suddenly became energetic: "It means that next, we may have a relationship with Annan..."

  Fang Jifan smiled without saying a word.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "If this is the case, then we should have prepared early, Lao Fang, let's go to Guizhou, shall we go? Let's sneak away, don't be afraid, take Liu Jin with us, something happened. , the father blamed it, and said that it was Liu Jin's instigation, and we believed in Liu Jin's evil."

  Fang Jifan said in his heart, malaria broke out in the Southwest. At this time, I will take you to the Southwest. Isn’t this courting death?

Fang Jifan quickly shook his head and said: "Your Highness, you must plan ahead, but you must not go to this dangerous place in person. In the southwest, the miasma is too heavy, and His Highness will inevitably be dissatisfied. My father is in Guizhou, Your Highness does not have to worry. If His Highness goes there, Could it be that you can’t look down on my father? In fact...there’s no other way, we might as well transfer the Flying Ball Battalion, other than that, order Ningbo Beiwawei to go all the way south...as long as the Annan people dare to move, then...hehe..."

  ...

   Tomorrow, the update will be resumed slowly, and the account will be paid back slowly.
