Chapter 501: It's Not an Elixir
Yan Chengjin got off duty and passed by Huimin Pharmacy.
He was sent to inquire about the news of the medical house, and soon came back to report: "Young master, Doctor Wang has cured eighteen cases, and there are still two people who have not recovered, Tan Yunxian has treated four cases, all of them are women, or Doctor Wang is amazing!" ”
Wang Ji looked around for a doctor, and rarely had time to read.
And Tan Yunxian has been in the boudoir for a long time, and he can only rely on reading books to improve his medical skills, and the number of diagnoses is very small.
Tomorrow is the last day, and there is no suspense, Wang Ji cured eighteen cases, indicating that of the twenty prescriptions prescribed, eighteen are available.
And Tan Yunxian's prescription only four worked.
Wang Ji won.
The special doctor in the house has to use Wang Ji.
The next day, the front of the Huimin Pharmacy was flooded, and the gentry and the common people came to see the excitement, and there were twice as many people as on the day of the exchange.
Yan Chengjin passed by in front of Huimin Pharmacy.
Wang Busui greeted him with a smile: "Young Master Yan is looking for a villain?" ”
"From today onwards, Wang Ji's worth will rise by another ten taels."
Yan Chengjin said very quietly, afraid that the surrounding gentry would hear him and kill him on the spot.
Wang Busui covered his mouth and laughed wildly: "Will it be too little?" The villain wants to go up by twenty taels. ”
The gentry were afraid of death, and they did not necessarily get sick once a year.
Forty taels of silver were paid at a time when they were sick, which was not much for most gentry.
Now Wang Ji is the signboard of Huimin Pharmacy, and even His Majesty has admitted it, how dare any doctor in the market disagree.
The people who came to see Wang Ji were waiting for two months, and you have to see if I want to see if you have money.
The highest price wins, and there is nothing to blame.
Yan Chengjin shook his head: "Let's make up enough for fifty taels." ”
"......" Wang is not old.
In the early dynasty, hundreds of officials walked into the palace.
Before waiting for the cabinet and the six ministries to report, Emperor Hongzhi took the lead in frowning and said: "Malaria is raging in the south, and I want to withdraw the Tuntian camp to Beijing, but malaria cannot be ignored, what is the best plan for the Qing and others?" ”
If the imperial court reclaimed the southern hinterland as a granary, whether it was to conquer Tatar or to conquer overseas.
are all very sure.
In the battles between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars, many defeats were due to the conquest at the front and the lack of food in the rear.
The civil servants reduced the nine-sided allotment, which led to a weakening of morale, and the soldiers were halfway out before the battle began.
Yan Chengjin thought carefully for a long time before he said slowly: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate begs, don't withdraw the army!" ”
The people who came to the court from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were actually only him and Zheng Qian, and the rest of the people went to the local imperial history.
said that it was the Metropolitan Procuratorate asking for begging, but in fact, it was this kid asking for begging.
Qin Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said coldly: "Reducing casualties at the moment is the best policy. ”
"Malaria appears in the south today, if it appears in Jiangnan tomorrow, will the military department let the people withdraw from Jiangnan? The minister thought that it was better to attack and cure the disease than to withdraw the army. Yan Chengjin said solemnly.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Yan Qing's family is talking about the flavor medicine mentioned by Yunxian?" It's time for her to unveil the competition with Wang Ji, as far as I know, Tan Yunxian's medical skills are not as good as Wang Ji's. ”
Li Dongyang and others bowed their heads, and discussed it yesterday.
Yan Chengjin knew that His Majesty had misunderstood: "The minister is not referring to Tan Yunxian alone, but Wang Ji and Tan Yunxian working together, and it will not be possible to control it within a month, and it will not be too late to withdraw the army." ”
One month, plus the time it took to transport to the south, it would take two months, and the army would have been wiped out.
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and said solemnly: "The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are not to be played, I will give you ten days, if you can't develop a prescription, you will withdraw the army." ”
If we can really deal with malaria, it is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty.
Yan Chengjin's eyes wandered.
Out of the palace, came to Huimin Pharmacy.
In front of Huimin Pharmacy, there are still many people who come to see the excitement.
Wang Ji did not take the outcome of the comparison test to heart.
It's just that his worth has risen again, and there is a sense of shame that he is not worthy of virtue.
"I don't know what the young lady is doing here?"
Tan Yunxian asked: "Dr. Wang's medical skills are excellent, why is he obsessed with ...... Aphrodisiacs? ”
Wang Ji was ashamed to say: "This is... The will of an adult who is inconvenient to name. ”
At this moment, a scholar with a beautiful face walked into the consultation room.
Yan Chengjin glanced at Wang Ji deeply, and Wang Ji hurriedly lowered his head.
He did not waste time: "The south is raging, and Your Majesty has ordered you to make a malaria prescription within seven days." ”
Wang Ji's face was stiff, and malaria was not comparable to ordinary diseases.
How can seven days be enough?
Tan Yunxian frowned: "President Xie, the little girl's medical skills are not as good as Dr. Wang, but she also knows that seven days is not enough." ”
Wang Ji bowed slightly: "The student obeys the order." ”
Yan Chengjin nodded with satisfaction.
For example, Song Jing and Wang Ji are reasonable and always communicate very well.
"There is no need to develop it, as far as this official knows, the prescription is recorded in the medical book, you go to the palace to find it."
Tai Hospital has a large number of medical books, most of which are unique.
After Wang Ji heard this, he immediately entered the palace.
In the past two days, the hundred officials heard about the affairs in the south and advised Emperor Hongzhi to withdraw his troops as soon as possible.
Malaria is the wrath of heaven, and Wang Ji is a person after all, and it is strange that he can cure it.
Xiao Jing was puzzled: "Your Majesty, the group of old ministers in Hanyuan have come to ask Your Majesty to start Jiaozhai again." ”
"Hmph, one by one, I think about finding trouble with me all day long, but I don't see it." Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and disappeared.
"Can Wang Ji make progress?"
Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Wang Ji is reading medical books in Tai Hospital, Yan Chengjin said that the medicine to cure malaria has long been recorded in medical books. ”
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes in surprise: "Yan Chengjin doesn't know medical skills, how does he know?" ”
"That's what the slave thinks, too."
Wang Ji stayed in the Tai Hospital for a day, asking the imperial doctors to find medical skills to treat malaria.
Huang Gengnian complained: "If the ancients could cure malaria, would we not know? Who did Dr. Wang listen to? ”
Wang Ji was also a little apprehensive, Master Yan didn't know anything about medical skills.
How would they know that it was written in the medical books?
"Lord Yan......"
Huang Gengnian came to the duty room of the Metropolitan Inspection Institute and met Yan Chengjin: "I looked through the ancient books of the Tai Hospital, but I couldn't find the book that Lord Yan said. ”
It is certain that the cure for malaria in later generations was found in ancient books.
If it is found at this time, there will be a difference of 500 years.
"What do you think of this officer?"
Huang Gengnian glanced up at him and said, "Lord Yan is cautious, far-sighted, and never deceives and recognizes, so the lower officials will look for ......."
Wang Ji flipped through the classics and found a palm-sized book on the fuchsia bookcase, called "Emergency Preparation Prescription Behind the Elbow".
"Master Liu, the student has found it!"
Liu Wentai was a little disappointed, Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was an alchemist, not a serious doctor: "Doctor Wang wants to use pills to save people?" ”
"This ......"
Wang Ji first carefully examined the page, but used the juice of Artemisia annua to treat malaria.
"Students try!"
Artemisia annua is a weed that grows on the side of the road, which can be found everywhere, but it is not precious, and it is impossible to think that it can cure malaria.
When Wang Ji returned to Huimin Pharmacy, Tan Yunxian was waiting here, and the two of them were holding elbows to study.
Three days have passed, and the morning has passed.
As soon as he walked into the palace, Emperor Hongzhi asked: "Yan Qing's family, the affairs of the south, can you have eyebrows?" ”
Hundreds of officials turned their heads sideways.
Yan Chengjin took out a brocade box from his arms, and when he opened it, it was a cyan pill.
This is a pill made from artemisinin.
This was used to cure malaria in later generations.
In the Ming Dynasty, it is worth a capital imperial history official position.
"It's ...... Pills? "Emperor Hongzhi heard that two days ago, Wang Ji found a book on alchemy in the Tai Hospital.
Hundreds of officials scoffed, you actually want to use pills to cure diseases?
Yan Chengjin shook his head: "It's not an elixir, it's just an ordinary pill, and it's called Qingwan." ”
