Chapter 90: The ancient sacred act of the medical country!
On a personal level, Peter is grateful that the system has given him a good body.
After all, Catherine became the empress, and the supreme imperial power overwhelmed her. She had to constantly review reports, consult with advisers, and make decisions every day.
Even though Ekaterina tried to stay healthy by getting enough sleep, eating moderately and getting fresh air and walking, she still suffered from frequent headaches and back pain.
But I will not be troubled by this aspect, but I have no problem personally. Now there is a war crisis, and Russia has also been swept in, so I have to consider the army.
The medical conditions of the Russian army are appallingly poor.
At one time, there were only 45 qualified military doctors (and more than 400 medical assistants) in the 400,000-strong Tsarist Russian army, with an average of one for every 10,000 people.
Throughout the wars of the 18th century, Tsarist Russian soldiers were killed in action, and the number of people who died from injuries was 750,000. The number of people who died of illness because they did not receive timely treatment was also 750,000. Tsarist Russian soldiers thoroughly implemented the saying that gray animals are worthless.
Even with such service conditions, Tsarist Russian soldiers stayed for 25 years. Peter couldn't help but feel deeply about the benefits of autocratic monarchy at this time.
It was a bit difficult before, but now that Huang Xueming is here, it will be better.
Huang Xueming is an old Chinese medicine doctor. Peter has a practical attitude towards whether Chinese medicine is useful.
Not only because he now sees Huang Xueming recuperating Vivian, but also because he knows the situation of Kublai Khan and Tokugawa Ieyasu in history.
Kublai Khan was the richest man in the world in the 13th century, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was the richest man in Japan in the early 17th century. Both of them were big fans of traditional Chinese medicine.
As a member of the golden family, Kublai Khan was one of the few longevity men. He was second only to Qianlong in terms of health preservation among ethnic minority kings, and he lived to be 80 years old.
Common wolfberry health regimen Kublai Khan knew from Chinese medicine. His wolfberry regimen is:
"Five buckets of wolfberry, wash them in water, remove the floating wheat, roast them, clean them with a white cloth tube, remove the stems and calyces, which are black, select the red and ripe ones, first use the tongue tea to grind them, and use the tea buds, then grind the wolfberry into fine pieces At the end of the day, use the head of a spoon to make a hollow, stir in the ghee, mix it with warm wine, you can also use white soup."
The Mongolian nobles all loved drinking and hunting. They often liked to hunt while drunk and lift weights to show off their strength. Kublai Khan, who liked traditional Chinese medicine and health care, was disgusted with this practice. He specifically stipulated that when drinking, you should not "lie in the wind" or "lie in the sun". After being drunk, You can't eat pork, you can't show off your strength, and you can't drink in the northwest wind in winter. When his grandson Yuan Chengzong fell unconscious after drinking, Kublai Khan personally performed physical sobriety.
Kublai Khan's emphasis on traditional Chinese medicine is even more reflected in his official titles. The status of the top traditional Chinese medicine doctors in the Yuan Dynasty was the highest among the feudal dynasties.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Taiyuan Hospital became a second-grade unit after 1301, which was higher than the Sixth Department. The six ministers had to bow to the person in charge of Taiyuan Hospital when they met.
Yelu Chucai, the famous prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, was also a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He became prime minister because of the recommendation of the famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor Zheng Xianjing. The traditional Chinese medicine doctors around the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty were very powerful and sometimes served as prime ministers part-time. The famous Han ministers Xu Guozhen, Dou Mo, and Han Gonglin were all originally top-notch traditional Chinese medicine doctors.
After Xu Guozhen, an old Chinese medicine doctor, cured Kublai Khan's foot disease, he not only gave some advice to the imperial hospital, but also gave him a golden tiger talisman, and became the Minister of Rites.
The old Chinese doctor Liu Haci Badulu was originally Han, but his Han name is unknown. He was not only in charge of Tai Hospital, but also the logistics manager of the Yuan Dynasty's fight against the Haidu army.
In front of Kublai Khan, whoever dared to question his traditional Chinese medicine without a few brushes would end badly.
And Tokugawa Ieyasu is also very famous. His greatest ability is to stay on standby for a long time. He outlasted Takeda Shingen, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and other strong men who could not deal with him, and finally conquered Japan by staying alive.
The secret of his long battery life is Chinese medicine. He doesn’t have the qualifications of Kublai Khan’s network of famous doctors, but he will endorse it.
If Takeda Shingen is the authority on Sun Tzu's Art of War during Japan's Warring States Period, Tokugawa Ieyasu is the first daimyo to have the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. He carries the traditional Chinese medicine book "Heji Bureau Prescription" with him, and he can recite it by heart. Whenever he has a headache or a fever, he will take medicine for himself.
eat.
As for the effect, Tokugawa Ieyasu killed every opponent is the best proof.
This medical book was written during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was originally called "Zengguang Taiping Huimin Heji Bureau Prescriptions" and contains nearly 800 prescriptions, including Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder, Niuhuang Pills, etc.
The Huimin Bureau was an official medical institution in the Song Dynasty. It was the Chinese version of the National Health Commission and the General Pharmaceutical Corporation in the Song Dynasty. It was also responsible for distributing free medicines to the people and promoting medical knowledge. Therefore, this book "Zengguang Taiping Huimin Heji Bureau Prescriptions"
》The prescriptions on are all very affordable.
In the early Ming Dynasty, "Heji Bureau Prescription" was spread to Japan and the Korean Peninsula, and became a standing book for Japanese doctors in the 16th century. During the Tokugawa Shogunate period, Japan also organized the former Imperial Pharmacy School's Dian Yaotou Tachibana Shinaki and others to specialize in
After correction, the corrected version was promoted to the whole country of Japan.
To Peter's great joy, Huang Xueming brought many books with him, and "Hejiju Prescription" was one of them.
Whether it is for the royal family, the people and the army, Huang Xueming is definitely a unique super talent in Russia at the moment!
If used well, it will definitely give Russia wings to take off.
So Peter directly appointed him as Minister of Health.
After talking with Huang Xueming for a while, Peter called for Vorontsov and ordered:
"Immediately start building hospitals in major cities. The standard is to have at least 200 beds, spacious rooms, good ventilation, and set up children's areas. Each child must have an independent bed, clean pajamas and bedding, and a bedside arrangement.
The bell that summons the carer.”
"Each city will open a specialized hospital for sexually transmitted diseases, where both men and women can receive treatment."
"A general hospital must be opened in every large and densely populated city, and each county must be equipped with at least five physicians, four surgeons, ten surgical assistants, ten trainees, and three pharmacists."
Peter knew that the current population of each county was basically 20,000 to 30,000, and this kind of equipment could not meet the needs at all. But the problem was that there was a huge gap in medical talents.
However, if the hospital is established, it will be a huge improvement compared to the poverty of the past.
Then Peter looked at Huang Xueming and said:
"Huang Lao, as for how and how many Chinese medicine hospitals and students should be opened, I will not interfere. Everything depends on your decision. Vorontsov, the whole country must cooperate fully. If there is any negligence, no matter who it is,
I will show no mercy!"
Vorontsov couldn't help but stare when he heard this.
His Majesty didn't even have specific targets and actually let this newcomer make his own decision.
Such grace is unprecedented.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Vorontsov quickly agreed, and Huang Xueming was also very excited. Although he was a famous doctor in Jiangnan, he never received such treatment.
This is equivalent to the emperor giving him the entire Russian territory and letting him use his medical skills at will.
He is no longer healing people, but healing the country!
