Chapter 57: There is someone in the medical department

"Compendium of Materia Medica" is written by Li Shizhen with all his life's painstaking efforts, and it is definitely a masterpiece across the era. Even in the 21st century, this book still occupies a very important place in Chinese medicine.

In the late Han Dynasty, when Chinese medicine was still in its primitive stage, it was definitely a subversive medical book.

Fan Ah was fascinated by it, and he couldn't immediately verify the prescription recorded in it. After reading it, he immediately rushed to Zhang Miao's courtyard regardless of the obstruction and asked for other parts.

Zhang Miao spread her hands: "No, that's all for today, if Mr. Fan wants to see it, tomorrow." ”

Fan Ah said angrily: "How can there be tomorrow but not today, are you doing it on purpose?" ”

Zhang Miao spread her hands and said helplessly: "Just these words, I have already written my wrist, and I can't write anymore." ”

Fan A was shocked: "Could it be that these are what you just wrote?" ”

Zhang Miao said: "Of course, didn't you see that the ink was not dry?" ”

Fan A carefully distinguished, and really, at the moment, incredulous: "So possible?" So classic, in fact, can you write it? ”

Zhang Miao also knew that he couldn't explain the source of this compendium of materia medica, so he said: "If I say that it was given by a god in a dream, do you believe it?" ”

Fan A nodded heavily: "Believe." ”

The thousands of words I just saw summarized the uses of more than a dozen herbs, and attached prescriptions for curing diseases, some of which Fan A was very familiar with and knew that the prescriptions were not bad. Naturally, such a medical book could not have been written by Zhang Miao, a teenager, but by Zhang Miao, there was only one reason, and it was given by a god.

Seeing that Fan A actually believed it, Zhang Miao couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, it was actually given by the ancestor Liuhou." Some time ago, I was hit in the head by a blunt object and fell unconscious, and my soul was ethereal and misty in the nine heavens, and when I met the ancestor Liuhou deity, he taught me a lot of things, including this "Compendium of Materia Medica". ”

In desperation, Zhang Miao could only push the Compendium of Materia Medica to Liuhou's head. Well, in the future, all the unexplainable things will be pushed to the head of Liuhou, and the province will explain it repeatedly.

"Liuhou also knows medical skills?" Fan Ah was not only surprised.

The three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Zhang Liangfan, who stayed behind, naturally knew that he was a great genius. But Fan A has never heard of it, and Zhang Liang also knows medical skills.

Zhang Miao said: "The old man who stayed with him naturally didn't know much about medical skills, but he made a lot of immortal friends in the heavenly realm, and this "Compendium of Materia Medica" was given to him by one of the immortals named Li Shizhen. ”

"It turns out that the author of this "Compendium of Materia Medica" is called Li Shizhen, I remember it." Fan A nodded, agreeing with Zhang Miao's explanation.

"Mr. Fan, in that case, would you like to serve as a professor of medicine at Sanshui University?" Zhang Miao took the opportunity to ask.

Fan Ah rolled his eyes: "Do you think I still have a choice?" ”

With the "Compendium of Materia Medica" hooked here, it is impossible for Fan A to leave even if he wants to. For a person who is obsessed with medicine, there is no more attractive way to learn new medical knowledge.

"Alas, the tutor asked me to travel the world to hone my medical skills, but I stayed in Sanshui Village, which is really against the tutor." Fan A sighed.

Zhang Miao said with a smile: "Mr. Hua Tuo means that you can meet different patients through your travels, so as to improve your medical skills. In fact, if you want to see enough patients, you don't need to go around the world, as long as the reputation spreads, some people come to see a doctor.

Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if I could build a medical center for my husband in Sanshui Village, and he would teach at the college while treating patients from all over the world? ”

Fan A sighed: "It can only be like this." ”

Fan A was fooled into staying, and the medical department of the college was settled, but there were no professors in other departments. However, Zhang Miao is not in a hurry, because there is still time.

As the weather gets colder and colder, more and more people are defecting to Sanshui Village. The people were already having a hard time, and they were looted by thieves, and they really couldn't find food in the winter.

In accordance with the strategy formulated in advance, Changyu gave priority to accepting those who were related to Sanshui Village and did not know them, and rejected all of them, suggesting that they go to Huyang County.

It's not that Zhang Yu and Zhang Miao are hard-hearted, but with the strength of Sanshui Village, they can't accept too many people at all, so they naturally have to accept their own people. For Sanshui Village, these people who are related by blood are naturally more loyal and reliable than those who don't know each other.

The population has increased, and the construction of the wall has become much faster. When entering the wax moon, after two months of construction, the wall was finally closed and the entire Sanshui Village was protected in it.

The length and width of this walled wall are more than 100 zhang long, and the internal space is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. Although the wall is only two feet high, it is enough to shelter from the cold wind.

It's just that the walls are made of rammed earth, and I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the wind and rain, and they will need to be repaired in the future. However, there is no way, with the current strength of Sanshui Village, it cannot build a brick city.

The population of Sanshui Village is increasing, and by the time of Layue, it has exceeded 2,000, which is more than three times the original size.

There are more people, there are more mouths to eat, and training and building walls are all manual work, and most of the grain obtained from Xiangyang has been used, and now it is all supported by the grain seized from the bandits' nest, and it is estimated that it will support at most for a month or two, and it will be good to be able to withstand it until the beginning of spring.

There are still four or five months before the wheat matures in the summer, so there is still a very short supply of food.

Many clansmen suggested that they stop accepting people from other villages, saying that the food of the Zhang clan is not enough to eat, how can it be cheap for outsiders? But Zhang Miao categorically denied it, because now is the best time for the Sanshui Zhang clan to expand aggressively. If there was no danger caused by the robbery of the thieves, how would the people of the neighboring villages be willing to come to Sanshui Village?

Now Zhang Miao's prestige is very high, and it is the hope of Zhang's future. And the patriarch Zhang Yu and Zhang Jin and others all supported Zhang Miao, so the clansmen could only agree. In fact, they don't want to turn away a lot of people, who have their own relatives.

Now that it has been decided to continue to accept the people who have taken refuge, the population of Sanshui Village will increase, and the food problem must be solved as soon as possible.

Relying on grabbing grain from the thief's den was not accurate, Zhang Miao could only pay attention to Xiangyang and choose to buy grain from Xiangyang.

These days, there are thousands of soaps made, and the ash secretions obtained by Deng Niu have also been made into honey candles, and there are more than 600 candles.

And soap is unprecedented in this era, and it has a strong ability to decontaminate, and it is definitely popular among the wealthy families. Although the price of honey candles cannot be as high as before, they are still an expensive luxury, and there is absolutely no problem in selling them at a high price.

This batch of goods should be sold for more than 1,000 stone of grain. Coupled with the money stolen from the bandits' nest and the more than 100,000 yuan just copied from Jiang Chong's house, there should be no problem in buying three or four thousand stone grains in Xiangyang.

And with an extra three or four thousand stone of grain, it should be able to support the people of the whole village until the summer harvest.

Zhang Miao had the intention to go to Xiangyang in person, but considering the busy various things in the village, as well as the newly established Sanshui College, he gave up going to Xiangyang after careful consideration, and decided that Zhang Jin would be in charge of the matter.

The road to Xiangyang has been opened, and the Xiangyang clan Kuai family has also established contact, there is no need to do it yourself, cousin Zhang Jin is enough to do it.

"Uncle Jin, whether it's honey candles or soap, it's all through the Kuai family, don't go to the market to inquire about the price. The price of these two things is rare, and our production is low, so we can only take the high-end route and sell it to families who like luxury. The Kuai family is deeply rooted in Jingxiang, and it is better for us to let the profits to them than to sell them all over the city. Zhang Miao said to Zhang Jin.

"How do you make a profit?" Zhang Jin asked. Although he has a strict personality, he doesn't know much about business.

"In this way, Uncle Jin, you can tell Kuai Yue that the honey candle is cost at fifty yuan a piece, and the soap is at eighty yuan a piece as the cost price, and the extra profit can be shared with the Kuai family. In this way, in order to make more money, the Kuai family will inevitably find ways to sell at a high price. Zhang Miao suggested.

Zhang Jin said: "Ah Miao, the family has a big business, will they be willing to do business with us?" ”

Zhang Miao said with a smile: "The family has a big business and a lot of expenses, why doesn't he do it to make money?" Uncle Jin, you tell him that there are only so many honey candles left, but we can supply soap in a steady stream, and the quantity will increase in the future. ”
