Chapter 99 Chapter Ninety-Nine: Treatment of Wind-Cold Syndrome
In just a few days, the Xianyang Palace guards found more than 30 good farmers and doctors from all over Neishi County, and then placed these people in Shanglin Garden under the orders of Fusu.
As early as when the Xianyang Palace guards went out to look for these people, Fusu had already begun to search for relevant knowledge about agriculture and medicine from his mind. Taking the knowledge he knew before traveling through time, it was obviously just a vast sea of agricultural and medical knowledge in later generations.
Even so, this superficial knowledge was top-notch in an era like Da Qin.
Fusu told these doctors the medical principles for treating wind-cold diseases, as well as the common prescriptions used to treat colds in later generations, but they were also the simplest prescriptions composed of honeysuckle, forsythia, bupleurum and other drugs. Of course,
At this time, the names of these medicinal materials were not that, and Fusu did not know what these medicinal materials were called in the Qin Dynasty. He was gratified that he knew these medicinal materials by chance.
After receiving Fusu's guidance, these medical officers did not show any pretense and went to the mountains to look for these herbs with the rough drawings drawn by Fusu.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when these doctors went to the mountains to search for medicine, Fusu gathered those good farmers together and discussed with them ways to increase agricultural production.
Knowledge is selectively taught to these farmers, and it is nothing more than the most basic means of increasing income such as seed selection, composting, fertilizing, and cutting crops.
After five or six days of discussion and demonstration, these good farmers, with the help of Fusu, worked out a complete set of methods to increase production, and were waiting for these farmers to take these methods to Guilin County and meet with the group of representatives of the ministers.
The farmers were in a league of their own. If they managed their fields in this way, they would not be able to reach the Ming Dynasty standard of 300 kilograms per mu, but there was still hope for the yield to exceed the 200 kilograms per mu mark.
After these farmers were ready to go south to Guilin County, Fusu informed the officials who had bet with him about the news.
At this time, the ministers headed by Li Si and Meng Yi had already prepared. In their view, farming is nothing more than sowing and harvesting. As for the harvest, it completely depends on the will of God. They think
There was no need to spend so much time preparing for agriculture. They didn't even want to find people who were good at farming. But because of Fusu's reputation, they had to find a few farmers from Xianyang City to help them.
When they received the news that Fusu was ready, they rushed to Shanglinyuan with the farmers they found.
The next day, a group of Yinglong troops escorted these farmers on their way to Guilin County.
The day after these good farmers left Xianyang, the doctors who followed Fusu's request to search for herbal medicines also returned to Xianyang one after another, but each of them was carrying a basket of herbal medicines.
When these doctors poured the herbs they collected in front of Fusu, Fusu carefully searched among the herbs, and actually found honeysuckle, bupleurum and a few other herbs he knew.
One regret is that there are too few honeysuckle and other medicinal materials available, which is not enough to treat ten patients with typhoid fever.
Regarding this problem, Fusu quickly thought of a solution. He wanted to send some soldiers to take samples of honeysuckle and other medicinal materials to the township fairs near Xianyang, mobilize the people to go to the mountains to collect medicines, and then spend money to buy these medicines from the people.
medicinal materials.
A group of doctors were excited when they saw that among the medicinal materials they collected were medicinal materials designated by Fusu.
Time flies, a month passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for Fusu and his ministers to fulfill their bet.
On this day, the emperor and his ministers gathered in Qilin Hall.
"Young Master, I have summoned ten people suffering from wind-cold syndrome according to your edict. I don't know how to deal with them?" Meng Yi came out to report.
After hearing what Meng Yi said, all the officials looked at Fusu expectantly. They were eager to know how Fusu would fulfill his bet with them and how he would treat these patients suffering from wind and cold.
Fusu ignored the curiosity of the officials and directly started to fulfill the bet with the officials.
"Bring in those patients with wind-chill syndrome," Fusu told Meng Yi.
After a while, an attendant led ten people suffering from cold syndrome into the Qilin Hall.
Fusu Soda measured these patients with wind-chill syndrome and saw that these people looked shabby, some had runny noses, some had runny eyes, and some were drowsy.
Wind-cold symptoms are actually colds in later generations. These are the most common symptoms of colds. However, due to the backward medical conditions of the Qin Dynasty, there were no effective drugs at that time. There was no other way except relying on one's own immunity to resist.
, so the fatality rate of wind-cold syndrome was not low in the Qin Dynasty.
After looking at these patients for a while, Fusu ordered the chamberlain beside him: "Go and invite the doctors here."
After a while, the doctors, led by the chamberlains, arrived at the Qilin Palace. The two doctors at the front were carrying a huge Gui (a container for water or rice in the Qin Dynasty), and they didn't know what was in it.
When these doctors came to the court, they immediately saw the sick patients with wind-chill syndrome.
"These are the people. I wonder if you can treat them?"
After all the doctors had settled down, Fusu asked.
"Young master, I can heal."
The leading doctor glanced at the ministers and replied with a guilty conscience.
In fact, the doctor had no idea, but because of Fusu's instructions, he had no choice but to answer like this. He didn't know what the medicinal soup Fusu asked them to brew had any effect, and he was not sure whether the medicinal soup could cure these diseases.
People with wind and cold. All this is because Fusu warned him in advance: "No matter what the condition of the people with wind and cold is, you just have to agree. Then let each of these patients drink a cup of the medicinal soup in Gui."
.
After the doctor answered Fusu's question, he walked straight to the copper gui, picked up a copper spoon, scooped up a spoonful of medicinal soup from the gui, poured it into the cup, and then asked the guard to carry the soup.
He went to the patient suffering from wind-chill syndrome.
Those suffering from wind-chill syndrome looked at the dark soup in the glass with confusion, wondering what kind of medicine the doctor was selling in the gourd. As for the ministers, they couldn't understand the use of the soup.
During the Qin Dynasty, medicine was still in its infancy. In the minds of these ministers, doctors and alchemists were almost the same. In addition to medical methods such as bandaging wounds, doctors had never seen any other treatment methods. At this time,
When the ministers saw the goblet of dark soup on the plate carried by the guards, it was understandable that they couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Everyone, this medicinal soup is specially designed to treat wind and cold diseases. I would like to invite everyone to drink the medicinal soup in the cup." The leading doctor explained to the patients and ministers.
"Can this soup cure wind and cold?" Meng Yi looked at the doctor and asked in surprise.
"My lord, this soup is indeed effective in curing wind and cold."
Meng Yi looked at the doctor in front of him doubtfully, and then turned his questioning eyes to Fusu.
Fusu saw the doubtful expression in Meng Yi's eyes, so he had no choice but to gently nodded to Meng Yi, proving that what the doctor said was true.
Seeing that Fusu nodded in agreement, Meng Yi didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to temporarily put away his curiosity and retreat to the train, looking expectantly at the medicinal soup in the hands of the waiter.
Until this moment, those patients with wind-chill syndrome no longer hesitated and picked up the medicinal soup on their plates and brought it to their mouths.
When these medicinal decoctions were poured into the patients' mouths, the expressions on their faces instantly became a little strange, and they all frowned.
Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of these patients, Meng Yi and others were confused again.
"Everyone, although this medicinal soup is a bit bitter, it has miraculous effects. Please bear with it and drink it." The leading doctor had to explain again and persuade these patients to drink this medicinal soup.
These patients did not hesitate and drank the medicinal soup while enduring the bitterness.
After these patients finished drinking the medicinal soup, they left the court under the leadership of the chamberlain, leaving only Meng Yi, Li Si and others looking at each other.
