"Your Highness, are you sure you are going to use stinky artemisia instead of Artemisia annua?" Cui Wei asked again without knowing it. Li Yan just said that he would prepare a medicinal herb, but what he didn't expect was that what Li Yan was looking for was actually stinky artemisia annua.

The so-called stinky artemisia is actually a type of artemisia, which is different from the same species as the stinky artemisia mugwort that ignites smoked mosquitoes for a hundred days. In fact, there are many artemisia medicinal herbs that can be used as medicine, such as artemisia mugwort and artemisia annua, which are commonly used medicinal uses, but artemisia mugwort is different because it has a strong odor, so few people use it as medicine.

"Yes, to be precise, it is a kind of yellow-green stinky artemisia with yellow flowers" and it is best to be fresh, the stronger the taste, the better," Li Yan reminded again. Stinky artemisia is actually divided into several types, among which only Artemisia stinky artemisia has the effect of treating malaria.

Speaking of malaria, Li Yan mainly heard from a friend in his previous life. This friend went to Africa because of work and talked about the fact that he almost died of malaria. He also popularized the relevant knowledge of malaria with Li Yan. So Li Yan was very impressed. He knew that the artemisinin in Artemisia is the nemesis of malaria, so he was so confident.

"This..." Cui Wei saw Li Yan's confident look, obviously very confident, and he was not good at saying anything for a moment. He thought of a plant in his mind carefully. He nodded and said, "Okay, since Your Highness insists, then the official will do it. According to the form of the official who said the official should be the official who is called the "Artemisia wormwood" by the southerners. There are also many places growing in Liuqiu. The official will send someone to collect it."

When Li Yan heard that Cui Wei already knew what kind of artemisia herb it was, he was very happy at the time and immediately asked Cui Wei to do it quickly. After all, saving people is like putting out a fire. If he hadn't been to establish his authority, he wouldn't have been delayed until now.

Cui Wei is worthy of being a governor, and his efficiency is indeed not comparable to ordinary people. He had sent someone to deliver the first batch of wormwood wormwood before he left, and all of them were cut. In fact, because of its own odor and a little poison, no one could eat it at all. However, some ethnic minorities in the south would use it to make wine, and this is also the origin of the name of the wine cake.

Artemisia sacred has strong vitality, so it is almost everywhere in the mountains and roadsides. Most people just regard it as a weed. No one thought that this thing was actually a fairy grass that can cure malaria.

"Your Highness, you don't want to use stinky artemisia to make medicine for those on the boat to drink?" Cui Mengxue asked speechlessly as if she had piled up in front of her. After a while of rest, she immediately came to urge Li Yan to save the person, but she didn't expect that she would see such a pile of stinky artemisia with a odor soaring into the sky.

Cui Mengxue has been studying medical skills for so many years, so he naturally knows that some predecessors have proposed to use Artemisia annua to treat malaria, but it is Artemisia annua rather than Artemisia annua. She also asked Sun Simiao for advice, but the other party told her that using Artemisia annua as medicine has no effect on malaria at all. As for using Artemisia annua as medicine, Cui Mengxue felt it was even more nonsense, because she had never heard that it could be used as medicine?

"Of course this thing cannot be used to make medicine," Li Yan smiled mysteriously. When Cui Mengxue heard it, she immediately felt relieved and thought that her memory was indeed correct, and the stinky artemisia really cannot be used as medicine.

Fazing before Cui Mengxue was happy for too long, Li Yan continued to say confidently: "But this stinky artemisia is used to squeeze juice for patients to drink. As long as you drink this, you will definitely cure malaria and other diseases."

"Juicing?" Cui Mengxue was even more surprised after hearing this. He did not expect that some herbs cannot be cooked on high heat, otherwise they will lose their efficacy. Is this the same thing with this stinky artemisia? In fact, Cui Mengxue guessed that the artemisinin in stinky artemisia is the main ingredient in the treatment of malaria, but if it is heated, artemisinin will be destroyed and will naturally not have any effect.

Li Yan looked at Cui Mengxue's surprised look and felt even more proud. He directed people to squeeze all the stinky artemisia sent by Cui Wei into juice, then served it in a few large buckets and delivered it to the fleet outside the port in a small boat, so that the sick people could drink as much as they could. After all, the only effective ingredient here is artemisinin. Li Yan didn't know how much artemisinin content in artemisia, so he asked them to drink more insurance.

However, in Li Yan's opinion, it is far from enough to let the people on the boat drink stinky artemisia juice. After all, the weather in Keelung Port is hot and there are many mosquitoes. Two days is enough for them to spread the malaria parasites. So Li Yan did not stop Cui Wei to collect stinky artemisia, but instead sent more people to assist him and speed up the collection of Artemisia annua.

The next morning, Li Yan asked Lu Qing to post a list article throughout the city, warning the people of the city to get herbs at various gates as soon as possible, and even set up special medicine collection offices at the port. As long as you find suspected patients on foreign ships, you can immediately fill a few bowls without saying a word. Anyway, artemisinin can not only kill malaria parasites, but also kill other parasites, and also have the effect of cooling and relieving heat. Therefore, it is also good to drink it as herbal tea. Of course, the premise is that you have to adapt to the strange taste.

Artemisinin is indeed the nemesis of malaria. After the people on the dead fleet drank stinky artemisia juice, they felt that their condition improved the next day. As a result, this not only greatly increased Li Yan and the others' confidence, but also made the patients see a glimmer of hope of survival in despair. Therefore, they immediately became active. Every time the bucket of stinky artemisia juice was delivered to the ship, it would cause a scramble. Everyone wanted to drink more so that they could get better faster.

Three days later, the condition of the malaria people on the ship improved greatly. Some even recovered faster, almost like ordinary people, but for safety, they still had to stay on the ship. Of course, not everyone can cure it. For example, there were several crew members on the ship who were already terminally ill. Even though they drank stinky artemisia juice, their condition did not improve at all, and they eventually died in pain.

In this regard, Li Yan estimated that the concentration of artemisinin is too low. After all, the original method of stinky artemisinin juice is only used to squeeze juice, which makes the content of artemisinin extremely low, and at most it can only have an effect on early and mid-stage patients. As for late-stage malaria, it is probably not very effective.

It is also worth mentioning that Li Yan did not deliberately keep it confidential. After all, it is difficult to escape the eyes of those who are interested in purchasing Artemisia. In addition, Li Yan did not point to this thing to make money, and it also affects the lives of countless people. So Li Yan simply announced the function of Artemisia and sent people to notify several major ports that are closer to the current, and asked local officials to report it to the court. After all, malaria is a common plague. If you can prepare earlier, you may save many lives.

Of course, Li Yan is not such a pedantic person. The weather in the south is hot, and malaria is definitely not eradicated. Therefore, after the effect of stinky artemisia is announced, it will definitely increase its value. The wild ones alone will definitely not meet the requirements. So he was already discussing artificial cultivation with Yanbei, Cui Yu, Wang Kuang and others, but this matter is not so easy. At least you have to figure out the habits of stinky artemisia in advance. So after discussing, each person paid a portion of the funds and organized people to try the seeding. The technology obtained was shared by everyone.

After dealing with malaria, Li Yan finally had to deal with the mysterious force in Tainan. Of course, as he was, he naturally would not go to the other party to take risks. Lu Qing had already sent someone to inform the other party and asked them to come to Jiman to calculate the days. News would come in the past two days. However, Li Yan did not wait for the other party. He had one more thing to do before meeting the leader of the mysterious force.

Li Yan took Xi Junmai and more than a dozen guards next to him. He was led by a confidant from the Lu Qing Sect and passed through several heavily guarded checkpoints. Then he entered a tall cement building. From time to time, he also patrolled soldiers passing by. When he saw Li Yan and the others, he immediately saluted.

The place where Li Yanlai was located was Niuchong Port when he landed. He had already explained that the moored ships in Niuchong Port were all military ships, and the land around the port was also full of military strongholds, and the defense was very strict. However, it was precisely because of this that there was another building in Niuchong Port, which was the prison in Keelung City. This was why Li Yan came to Niuchong Port today.

The prison chief of the prison was Huang, a middle-aged man in his forties. He had already received the news that Li Yan was coming, so he had been waiting in front of the gate. When he saw Li Yan and his group, he immediately came up and bowed and said, "Keelung Prison is in the morning, see the prince."

"Don't be too polite to take me to see those three people," Li Yan raised his hand. What he was going to meet today were the three assassins who assassinated Lu Qing. At that time, the three were captured. Lu Qing admired the strength and character of these people, so he not only did not kill them, but also sent a doctor to heal them. However, these three people were not ordinary people. Lu Qing was afraid that they would escape, so he sent them to prison for detention.

"Please follow the officials." Huang Jiucheng did not dare to neglect when he heard Li Yan's orders. He immediately opened the prison door and led the way in front. Li Yan also followed him into the dark prison. However, because the prison was newly built and there were not many prisoners inside, there were no strange smells.

Under the leadership of Huang Jiucheng, Li Yan quickly arrived at the deepest part of the prison, which was the place where the repeated offenders were imprisoned. The iron fences on the prison cells were obviously thicker than outside, and there were special people guarding them, which was very careful.
