"Back to Your Majesty, the production of penicillin is extremely cumbersome, and problems may arise at every step. Therefore, it is not easy to produce high-purity penicillin. The price is naturally expensive, but the specific amount is unknown to ordinary people.

Dare you talk nonsense!"

Wang Meng lowered his head and swallowed hard.

It's impossible to say that he doesn't know anything at all, but it's not very accurate, because he doesn't care about the procurement of many materials at all.

For example, the large number of monkeys used for testing, the labor costs of silversmiths to make syringes, glassware, etc., are all included in the final cost.

No matter what, you can't hide a number from the emperor. If you talk about high or low, it will be difficult for the master to deal with it, and you will be in trouble.

If it can be used on the battlefield, then it will truly be a miracle drug worthy of countless lives! Emperor Jing was a little disappointed when he heard this: "According to what you said, this thing cannot be mass-produced. What exactly is penicillin and why does it have such a weird name?

"

"Penicillin is a mold that grows on orange peels. It grows not only on orange peels, but also on many foods."

"It is very simple to obtain materials, but besides penicillin, there are many impurities that may be harmful to the body. In order to effectively treat it, we have to find a way to separate a single penicillin. There are too many links and it is uncontrollable, so it is very difficult.

.”

Wang Meng continued: "The penicillin your Majesty uses is the best we can come up with. In fact, some penicillins are not that high in purity and have more impurities. Penicillin can also cure diseases, but there may be some problems. But compared to throwing it away,

Life has become much better. Moreover, we have only known this drug for a short time, and given time, we may be able to mass-produce it."

"Well, very good, very good!" Emperor Jing looked pleased. Although he didn't fully understand, he generally understood.

When I closed my eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Fang Qing taught me another lesson. I didn't expect that this thing is really a wonder that can benefit the world.

It’s amazing that moldy things can also cure diseases!

It seemed that I was still trying to stop him from doing it...

"Guo Banban, please take the two of them down first and arrange them properly, and then give me a generous gift after I recover."

"You two can live in the palace with peace of mind and diagnose my illness. If anyone asks you questions, don't answer them."

"The common people thank Your Majesty!"

Guo Tianyang bowed his head and resigned, taking Wang Meng and Wang Meng away with him.

As soon as they left, Emperor Jing's eyes immediately turned cold and he looked at Dr. Hu.

"What on earth does Tai Hospital do? It's not as good as the doctors in Taoyuan County. I think it's better to abolish all of you."

"Your Majesty! This veteran has been wronged!"

Doctor Hu suddenly wailed and fell to his knees.

"Everyone in the capital knows that penicillin is poisonous! And using moldy orange peels to make it must be a way to fight fire with fire!"

"I have already thought of a way to treat His Majesty, using aconite to fight poison with poison, but... before I could use it, they used penicillin first."

"Lao Chen, this ancient prescription can definitely cure tumors!"

While talking, Dr. Hu wiped away tears, and his face was still swollen.

These two damn bastards really kept them in the dark!

Emperor Jing looked disdainfully and said: "Taoyuan County can think of penicillin, why can't you think of it?"

"This...this...tangerine peel has been used as medicine since ancient times! Our ancestors must have recorded its use, but...it didn't become popular. They discovered it." Dr. Hu explained sweatily.

Li Yuanzhao sneered from the side: "Father, when he was treating you, he went back to read a book. I think it would be better to abolish all the old people in the Tai Hospital. In the future, the imperial doctors in the palace will be selected from the private sector every year."

"In my opinion, medical skills are the same as martial arts. Use them or lose them. Those old people in Tai Hospital can't see many patients all year round and they are already dead!"

"When you encounter a situation, you rely on reading books to treat your illness? Everyone in the palace can read and is not good at learning, so why should we rely on you?"

Doctor Hu opened his mouth with a pitiful look: "I...I have been wronged! The wisdom of our ancestors is vast. How can I learn it all by myself? Even a private doctor has to read books."

"Okay, don't make any noise." Emperor Jing took a few breaths, but his body was still tired. He waved his hands and said: "Let's forget about this for now. If the Imperial Hospital continues to do nothing, why don't you all go to the private sector to treat people's diseases and save everyone's money?"

You know how to get a salary in the palace!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely study ancient books carefully after I return!" Dr. Hu quickly kowtowed his head three times.

There was a hint of panic in Li Yuanzhao's eyes.

At this age, do you still need to study? I will not be reduced to this!

"Cough... cough... pour me some more water."

Li Yuanzhao quickly poured a glass of water and handed it over.

After drinking a cup of tea, looking at Li Yuanzhao's concerned eyes, Emperor Jing smiled and said: "I'm fine. Don't worry too much. It's just that I'm still a little weak. I'll be fine in a few days."

"Don't panic when something happens. What if I really die one day?"

"I...I don't know." Li Yuanzhao lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.

He couldn't think of it and didn't dare to think about it.

"If I die tomorrow, you should cheer up and preside over the government as soon as possible. Your responsibility is not just for your family, but for the whole world."

"It doesn't matter if I collapse, this world cannot collapse. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Li Yuanzhao felt uncomfortable and muttered: "Father, stop talking."

"Haha, okay, I don't..."

"Your Majesty! Urgent report!"

Just as Emperor Jing was about to speak, Guo Tianyang came back!

He hurriedly rushed to Emperor Jing's side and said, "Your Majesty! News of Fang Zhengyi has returned!"

Emperor Jing and Li Yuanzhao cheered up at the same time: "Speak quickly!"

"People from Dongchang went to Haiyuan City to inspect, and Fang Zheng was no longer in the city early in the morning. After asking the soldiers guarding the city, they found out that he might have been kidnapped by King Wu."

"The people below followed up on the clues and found a secret port. A lot of supplies and fragments of the ship's hull were left on the coast."

"Hundreds of corpses were found in the mountain forest not far away, and a large-scale battle broke out. At this point, the clues were interrupted."

"The following guesses that someone may have rescued Mr. Fang, and King Wu also escaped by boat."

Li Yuanzhao felt nervous and said anxiously: "No one found Lao Fang? Nothing will happen to him!"

Emperor Jing closed his eyes and thought, then reached out and patted Li Yuanzhao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, he won't cause any problems to anyone."

"If the Fourth Brother wants gunpowder, then we must not let anything happen to Fang Zhengyi. Moreover, it is not that easy to go into the mountains to find people, and their time is very tight. Fang Zhengyi should have escaped if he had a good chance."

"Is that all there is? Is there any other news?"

Guo Tianyang looked at the secret report in his hand: "Yes, based on the ship ropes and hull fragments found at the port, it is inferred that the ship King Wu traveled on was unusually large in size, and there was a large amount of gold and silver in the materials left behind, and the system of the port was

The ship pillars are very old, and the port must have been used for a long time.”
