Chapter 19: Cooling down with wine
"Try it to know, I hope it will work wonders!" Although Li Zhonghua knew the way to cool down quickly, he really didn't dare to guarantee the effect.
But now he can only let it go, so Li Zhonghua asked His Majesty for a few jars of imperial liquor, and in the imperial dining room, he tried to distill a small jar of spirits by himself.
When the first drop of spirits is distilled from the humble bamboo tube, the thick aroma of the wine permeates the entire Imperial Dining Room, which surprises all the Imperial Chefs who work in the Imperial Dining Room.
Back in the Lizheng Palace, Li Zhonghua asked Li Shimin to find the maid who served Empress Changsun, brought half a basin of warm water, opened the wine jar, poured in an appropriate amount of high wine, and after mixing thoroughly, told the maid how to wipe the body of Empress Changsun and what matters should be paid attention to.
After the maid figured it out, she went in to wipe the queen of the eldest grandson, Li Shimin curiously picked up the remaining high wine in the jar and said, "What kind of wine is this?" How can there be such a strong aroma of wine? Can this really cure the queen's illness? ”
"Your Majesty, this is the essence extracted from wine, and the minister named him alcohol, although it can be used to cool the queen, but it cannot cure the queen's illness, it can only suppress the queen's illness.
If you want to cure the queen's disease, you must first restore the queen's body temperature to normal, and only when the body temperature is normal, can you continue to find ways to treat other diseases. Li Zhonghua explained.
"That is, this thing called alcohol, in addition to cooling the queen and curing the disease, what is the use, can you drink it?"
Li Shimin was originally a good drinker, but when he smelled the smell of wine, he only felt that his throat was smoking, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and he wanted to taste the essence of this wine immediately.
"Of course, the essence of this wine can be drunk, in addition, it has many uses, such as repelling the cold, even if it is in the cold place of Mobei, drink a few sips of this wine, and the body will immediately exhale hot, not afraid of the cold.
In addition, this wine can be used to clean the wound, which has the effect of eliminating inflammation, avoiding wound infection and suppuration, and speeding up the healing and recovery of the wound.
In short, the effect of this high-grade wine is still very large, but it is not easy to extract, the cost is too high, and if it is sold, the price will definitely be very expensive. ”
"What do you say? Is it true that this wine can speed up the healing of wounds and also protect wounds from the pain of infection and suppuration? Li Shimin said in surprise.
Li Shimin has fought countless battles, and if the effect of this wine is really so great, he knows too well what this means.
At the end of each major battle, there will inevitably be a large number of casualties on both sides.
Most of the wounded were not too seriously injured, but because the wound was infected, it became suppurative and inflamed, and finally the wound became more and more serious, causing other complications and losing their lives.
Anyone who has been a soldier knows that entering the wounded barracks means nine deaths, and if the wound is treated well and will not be infected and suppurated, then it is basically considered to have survived, so the care of the wounded soldiers is actually very important.
"It's not absolute, it's important to take care of the wounded." Taking advantage of the time, Li Zhonghua did not hide his personal interests at all, and told Li Shimin everything he knew about basic nursing.
"Since this wine has such a big effect, no matter how high the cost is, it must be produced." Li Shimin said very decisively.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The body temperature of the queen's mother has dropped. At this time, the maid who had been serving Empress Changsun hurriedly walked out and said.
"Good! Great, Li Aiqing really didn't disappoint me, I must reward you, say it! What do you want me to reward you? Li Shimin said happily.
"The minister doesn't dare, sharing worries for His Majesty and treating the queen's mother is what the minister should do, the minister just did what he should do, how can he ask His Majesty to reward anything, besides, His Majesty has already given too much to the minister."
After Li Shimin listened, he nodded secretly in his heart, and was very satisfied with Li Zhonghua's performance.
"I am the Son of Heaven, Chrysostom and Jade Words, the words spoken are like spilled water, how can I take them back, since you can't think of it for the time being, then wait until you think about it, my promise will always be valid." Li Shimin said with a very solemn look.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Li Zhonghua thought of himself, and made a promise to Luo Feiyan and others, so he no longer shirked.
Li Zhonghua opened a prescription that he knew well and gave it to Empress Changsun.
24 grams of honeysuckle, 15 grams of forsythia and skullcap, 12 grams of seven-leaf flower and strong seed, 9 grams of almonds, 30 grams of raw gypsum, knotweed root, wild buckwheat root, fresh reed root, 4.5 grams of ephedra, 6 grams of raw licorice.
Considering that Empress Changsun's cough was somewhat serious, and even coughed up blood, Li Zhonghua added 50 grams of dry stems and mulberry peel each, and instructed two doses a day, decoction in water for 2 times, and then take it in two parts, once every three hours.
This prescription was prescribed by a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, called Yinhua Forsythia Soup, which is very effective in treating lung inflammation.
The main breath of the lungs, the patient's breathing and wheezing, accompanied by coughing, and even coughing up blood, are mostly because the patient's lungs are inflamed, and the complications of lung inflammation can easily lead to the patient's body temperature rise, resulting in fever.
So far, anti-inflammatory is the main thing, and the addition of dry stems and mulberry peel is a good medicine for cough.
It was still the eunuch Liu Zhong who sent Li Zhonghua out of the palace, and outside the palace gate, the carriage of the Shuangliu County Men's Mansion had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, and there was a team of guards from the County Men's Mansion following.
If it weren't for the introduction of the eunuch Liu Zhong, Li Zhonghua, the master, really didn't know the people in his county man's mansion.
Today's Li Zhonghua is a county man personally named by the emperor, although he is the bottom of the lord, but he is also a veritable lord, and the size is also a character.
So when going out, carriages and guards are a must, which is the basic pomp that a lord should have.
All the way to his county man's mansion, Yang Xue took everyone out.
I saw that on the plaque outside the door of the house, there were a few words of Shuangliu County male Li Mansion, which was very magnificent.
When I walked into the house, I knew that the master had returned, and all the people in the house came to visit.
Li Zhonghua took a look, the scale of the county men's mansion is not smaller than the house given to him by Li Ke, the king of Shu, in Yizhou, and it can be seen that this county men's mansion is not a new house, and it can still be seen if you look closely, it has been renovated not long ago.
However, every inch of land in Chang'an City is expensive, and the street in front of the county man's mansion is still very lively, and it is not far from the palace, so the value should be very high.
It's a pity that these houses are estimated to belong to the welfare housing of the imperial court, and they should not be traded privately, even if you want to sell them, no one dares to buy them.
In this era, for the mansions of court officials, the specification system is very strict, and it must not be reversed, otherwise it will be severely punished.
Especially this kind of knightly mansion with a knighthood.
As for the subordinates in the house, they are all transferred from Sinong Temple, they come from many sources, and the families of the convicts will betray once they are in the lowly register, except for the young and beautiful, or young women, who will be sent to the Jiaofang Division, most of them are handed over to the Sinong Temple.
Others, as well as prisoners of war captured during the battle with the enemy, will also be handed over to Sinong Temple for disposal.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a human market in the West Market, where slaves could be sold openly and legally, and there was the shadow of Sinong Temple behind them, so most of the officials of Sinong Temple were very rich in oil and water.
