Liu Mingju frowned: "Sir, are you saying that there is something wrong with their blood?"
"That's understandable."
Lin Xu nodded.
Liu Mingju frowned even more. Although his understanding of medicine was very limited, he also knew that blood is a very important thing in the human body. If there is something wrong with the blood, wouldn't it mean that he has a terminal illness?
"Sir, may I ask how they got this nasty disease? Sir, is there any way to treat it? Is there any way to prevent it?"
Liu Mingju was like a barrage of questions, asking several questions at once.
Lin Xu explained: "There are many reasons why they suffer from this disease, the most important of which is caused by their eating habits."
"I have asked Captain Yang before and learned that the sick soldiers are basically officers and soldiers stationed on the island. These officers and soldiers mainly eat grain, fish and shrimp, and rarely eat fresh vegetables and fruits."
"Right, Lord Governor?"
Liu Mingju nodded slightly: "That's right."
Lin Xu went on to explain: "We usually eat not just to satisfy our hunger, these foods also provide us with nutrients to maintain our body's health. There are many kinds of nutrients, which are stored in different types of food. If we eat on a daily basis,
If we eat a single diet, we will not be able to absorb enough comprehensive nutrients. Over time, our bodies will get sick."
"The reason why those soldiers suffered from scurvy was because they did not eat vegetables and fruits for a long time, which caused the body to lack some nutrients that can only be found in vegetables and fruits."
"My Lord Governor, I wonder if you can understand what I say?"
Liu Mingju nodded again with a solemn expression: "I completely understand!"
Lin Xu continued: "Knowing the reasons why these soldiers are sick, it is easy to treat them. Just give them a sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables every day. This is why I asked Captain Yang to pass the letter before.
The reason why the Governor buys fruits and vegetables in large quantities. Especially oranges, tangerines, and tomatoes, the effect of curing diseases is very good!"
"As for the method of prevention, I believe that even if I don't mention it, the Governor already understands it. Just provide the soldiers with a balanced diet on weekdays and ensure that they can eat fruits and vegetables every day. If conditions do not allow, then give them
They eat wild vegetables, which can also have certain effects!"
"In addition, I also wrote a prescription."
"To be honest with you, this prescription does not have a direct effect on treating scurvy. The key lies in these vegetables and fruits. However, I was worried that you would not believe my treatment method, so I had to write a prescription.
"
"However, this prescription is full of nourishing herbs. Those soldiers were very weak after suffering from scurvy. Giving them some nourishing herbs will have a certain positive effect on their recovery."
After the previous testing, Lin Xu felt that Liu Mingju was a trustworthy person, so he simply told the actual situation.
Let them understand the nature of scurvy, which will definitely be of great benefit to the soldiers in preventing and treating scurvy in the future!
After hearing what Lin Xu said, Liu Mingju couldn't help but look at Lin Xu with a more profound look in his eyes!
Not only had he never heard of scurvy, but all the famous doctors from Jiangsu and Zhejiang he had visited before knew nothing about it!
Lin Xu didn't need to speak so thoroughly. As long as he could cure the soldiers' illnesses, he would be the only one in the world who could cure such a nasty disease!
From now on, he can gain both fame and fortune!
But now, he has revealed all the causes and treatment methods, and does not take it as a surprise!
This alone is enough to prove Lin Xu’s commendable character!
Liu Mingju had been in the officialdom for decades, and he had developed a pair of sharp eyes. After pondering for a moment, he stood up, bowed to Lin Xu, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, you are a great talent! I will take care of those sick soldiers.
, and those people who have been invaded by Japanese pirates, thank you sir!"
Lin Xu was not an arrogant person. Since the Governor treated him with such courtesy, he naturally would not hold it anymore and immediately returned the gift: "Your Majesty, you are so polite! I don't know if those vegetables and fruits have arrived.
?"
"We've arrived! We took the water route and arrived at the dock an hour ago."
"In that case, then distribute it to the sick soldiers quickly! Scurvy is completely curable in the early stages of the disease. However, once it reaches the advanced stage, even gods may not be able to save it!"
"Yang Peng, according to Mr.'s advice, organize the distribution immediately!"
Liu Mingju immediately ordered! This chapter has been completed!
