The blast furnace was previously in charge of Yu Haozhong.
As a foreman-level figure, there is no doubt about his hands-on ability.
Civil engineering came easily to him.
After Pei Yun arranged for someone to transport bricks and cement to him.
With his own ability, he built the area around the blast furnace into a large-scale workshop.
The location is in a remote area at the foot of the mountain.
No one passes by here.
There is only a small stream flowing down from the mountain, forming a small lake not far away.
This also eliminates the need to face the trouble of water supply.
Another advantage of the small stream is that it is a branch of the mountain river.
The rivers in the mountains can be used to transport coal.
And this small stream can also transport things down from the mountain.
This also makes it easy to obtain various materials.
Pei Yun plans to build this place into a small secret base.
The scale does not need to be large.
Too big and difficult to hide.
It's not big, but its importance goes without saying.
If allowed, if necessary, this would become an arsenal.
Of course, this is just an idea, and it is not that simple to implement.
You can't just forge the iron by yourself when the time comes.
Nowadays, the only person with the most talent in blacksmithing in Nanshan Village is Niu Lili.
But Niu Lili clearly doesn't know how to make weapons.
Relying on oneself to support the production of weapons in an arsenal...
It's better to forget it. In the end, I will be exhausted.
Therefore, without manpower, everything is out of the question.
Just like now, the blast furnace has not been officially started.
At this time, this place is no different than abandoned.
The arsenal is just an idea, and it is not certain whether it can be implemented.
You must know that large-scale private manufacturing of weapons is a serious crime of beheading.
Unless you have some ambition, you wouldn't want to take this step.
So the basis for this idea to be established is permission, if necessary.
Near the foot of the mountain, there is a cave. The cave is not small, so it became a warehouse.
The cave contains coal, iron ore, and some weapons that Pei Yun considers to be broken...
These are the materials for making weapons, and they are staying quietly in the cave for the time being.
Since the cave is large enough, it became a temporary cage.
According to Pei Yun's explanation, Master Fan and the official were both detained here.
When these people were brought here, they had sacks on their heads the whole time, so they didn't know where they were.
In fact, Pei Yun was curious that the Qin Detachment of Women could capture them all alive.
When Pei Yun asked what happened, he got a surprise.
The story begins with a Qin woman soldier.
She found a flower on the mountain that she had never seen before.
This kind of flower was beautiful and different from other flowers, so she picked a lot and placed them on her bedside as a way to admire them.
Unexpectedly, she developed narcolepsy from then on.
By chance, she discovered that her narcolepsy was related to the flowers she picked by her bedside.
It was later proven that the flower was poisonous.
After finding the culprit, her narcolepsy was cured.
But it's not just that.
A sudden thought occurred to her.
This flower is actually poisonous. Is there any other use for it?
Finally, she smeared the flowers on the crossbow arrows.
While hunting, she discovered that flower-coated crossbow arrows made prey behave abnormally.
This was the key to truly capturing Master Fan and Guan Cha alive. At that time, Lady Qin's army used crossbows like this.
After Pei Yun got to know the flower, a name came to mind.
"This is a datura flower."
Mandala, Sanskrit, datura flower, also known as angel devil's horn.
Datura flowers are poisonous.
Almost all parts of Datura flower are poisonous.
From roots to stems to fruits to seeds, it is very toxic.
Especially seeds can poison a horse to death in a short period of time.
Once a certain part of the Datura flower is accidentally eaten, usually within half an hour, the poisoned person will develop a series of poisoning symptoms.
The poisoned person will be very excited, and then they will have headaches and hallucinations.
In the final stage, the poisoned person will have severe symptoms such as convulsions, and will eventually die in a coma.
Therefore, although datura flowers are beautiful, they should be avoided.
However, even such a poisonous flower has effects that cannot be ignored. If used properly, it is also a kind of medicine.
Datura flower, its leaves, flowers and seeds can be used as medicine.
its efficacy.
First, it has the effect of anesthesia, analgesia, and antispasmodic and anticonvulsant effects.
Second, to improve sleep, the mashed leaves can help people fall asleep as soon as possible.
Third, it is used for the treatment of rheumatism and arthritis. Pounding fresh leaves, flowers and seeds into a paste and applying it to the relevant parts can effectively relieve pain.
Among them, the anesthetic effect of Datura flower can be said to be magical.
You know, even modern surgeries require anesthesia.
When it comes to the earliest anesthesia, it is the famous Huatuo Mafei Powder.
The main ingredient of Ma Fei Powder is datura flower.
According to legend, Hua Tuo's son Feier died from accidentally eating datura flowers. In order to commemorate his son, Hua Tuo named the anesthetic prescription prepared with datura flowers Ma Fei San.
As for the historical status of Mafei Powder in the medical field, there is a passage that says this.
There was such a doctor who traveled abroad to study when he was young and practiced medicine all over the world.
When an epidemic was prevalent, he would travel around to treat people's illnesses regardless of remuneration.
In order to relieve the pain of patients, he made "Mafei Powder" based on decades of accumulated medical experience and repeated trials.
He pioneered the use of general anesthesia to perform surgical operations, and was honored as the "originator of surgery" by later generations.
This man's name is Hua Tuo.
Pei Yun knew how Ma Fei Powder was prepared.
The main material is mandala flower,
Followed by Shengcaowu, Chuanxiong, Angelica, Angelica dahurica, Chao Nanxing...
Among them, datura flowers account for the largest proportion.
Compared with other medicinal materials, datura flowers are rare.
In fact, datura flowers grow in many places.
Fields, ditches, roadsides, river banks, and hillsides are all places where datura flowers grow.
But to normal people, datura flowers are a kind of poison.
This is what happened.
In common places such as fields, ditches, roadsides, and river banks, datura flowers have long been exterminated by our ancestors.
Datura flowers can only be found on sparsely populated hillsides.
Unexpectedly, it was Datura Hua who made the miraculous feat of capturing Master Fan and the officials alive.
This is also good news for myself.
From now on, I won’t have to worry about running out of datura flowers.
Of course, it is difficult to find datura flowers in the winter season.
It's a miracle to find datura flowers in winter. You must know that the minimum temperature for datura flowers to grow is 1 degree Celsius.
Just to apply poison to the crossbow arrows, all the datura flowers in the mountains were picked.
