Chapter 315: The Disease of Flooding (Seeking Perfection)
Chapter 315: The Symptom of Waterlogging is fully ordered
Talent determines the limits of achievement, but it is not the most important factor in achievement.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
Wang Xu has rich theoretical experience and materials, and his hands-on ability is no worse than some craftsmen in many years of archaeological work, but after all, it is still a professional difference.
There is a specialization in the art industry, not only the difference in theoretical knowledge in the professional field, but also the length of time and the accumulated practical experience in the related field.
This is also known as hand familiarity.
It took Wang Xu, Yu Chun and others two hours and a half days to get the reed pouring paper, and it only took one day to figure it out in the hands of a master craftsman like Gong Yiju.
And the new paper that came out, whether in color or quality, is much higher than the one Wang Xu, but it can't be used directly for writing, because as soon as the ink is stained, it will blur very badly, probably because of the material or process, the water absorption is very poor.
But in the end, if it is used as toilet paper for going to the toilet, it is still suitable.
The first batch of paper made was used as toilet paper, although Wang Xu felt that the paper was sacred, but the body was still very honest, to be honest, the silk cloth or silk that had been used for so long, that thing sounded tall, but the experience of using it was really poor, and there was a psychological burden.
It's too extravagant after all.
Well, now there's finally paper.
So Wang Xu's first task for Gong Yi was to ask him to take his group of brothers to sweep the reeds, and then dry the reed poles and make toilet paper.
When he received this task, Gong Yi's expression was a little subtle, because he originally thought that Wang Xu would give him a more important task.
In fact, he ventured to find Wang Xu yesterday, just relying on his carpenter skills as a public loser, and saw that what Guzhu Country was in urgent need of now was a master shipbuilder.
But he didn't expect that Wang Xu would give him such an insignificant task, but fortunately, he was not young and vigorous, and he didn't know what to do, so he just regarded it as a test, and gladly accepted it, and took his group of brothers to harvest reeds along the river in a delicate wooden boat specially made by him.
The shipbuilding of the Lone Bamboo Country can be said to be very primitive, and it is the most primitive way of shipbuilding, because there was indeed no qualified carpenter in the earliest Lone Bamboo Country, and now the sea ships they are studying are not professional carpenter shipbuilding teams.
Wang Xu's earliest shipbuilding was to hollow out the giant tree, and then use tung tree oil to mix cement to cross a layer of waterproof layer on the bottom of the ship, a simple and crude way.
This is a typical combination of professional theoretical foundation and layman practice.
Because it is a river boat, the problem of sailing is much simpler than that of navigation, and it is enough to deal with the two problems of waterproofing and power.
The hollowing out of the whole wood and the waterproofness of tung oil cement cope with the river ship without pressure at all, and Wang Xu directly made the most important power technology for navigation two thousand years in advance, that is, the sail.
Because China is an inland river farming civilization and shipping is an auxiliary transportation, it is more than a thousand years slower than the Western maritime civilization in navigation.
The earliest sail technology of mankind came from the Egyptian civilization, the origin of all the seafaring technology of the West.
The navigation technology of the Chinese civilization has always been at an independent origin, and there is not much exchange with the Western navigation technology.
It did not go through the long sailing phase of the West, and the turnable sail was developed at the beginning.
The appearance of the balanced sundler in the Eastern Han Dynasty is an original creation of China.
The proportion of the area in front and behind the mast is different, so that the center of pressure of the wind moves behind the mast, and it is very close to the mast, so the rotation of the sail is more labor-saving.
Because before the Eastern Han Dynasty, the sails of the early days of the Chinese ships could not be turned, and they could only be used when the wind was good, and only the sails could be rowed when the wind was not good.
This type of sailboat can only go downwind, and the turn is steered by the oar.
The oar is the original of China, at the latest in the Western Han Dynasty, the ship has a oar, it is evolved from the long oar, with a high propulsion efficiency.
Wang Xu moved away from aerodynamics and combined with primitive shipbuilding technology to complete the shipbuilding industry of Guzhu Country.
But in the eyes of real shipbuilders, this kind of boat is no different from a bamboo raft, except for the sail technology, which makes them shine, but it is also a skill that can be learned at a glance.
The sails on the ship looked much more flexible in structure than the science that Wang Xu had fooled up.
It is very telling to see that the small boat almost does not require manpower, and with the help of the wind of the river, it can carry a dozen big men to sail.
Although using the gong torque as a master craftsman may allow a ship to at least double the load bearing capacity and less than half of the oar-controlling crew, Wang Xu is not in a hurry.
The exploration of the waterway has only reached a third of the way, and because there is no shortage of raw materials for shipbuilding, Wang Xu does not need to consider the waste of ship materials to consider the problem of efficiency.
Even if there is no problem of public loss, the Lone Bamboo Country can still complete this voyage independently.
can solve the problem by himself, Wang Xu doesn't want to fake the hands of others for the time being.
But there are some things that still have to be done professionally.
For example, medicine.
As an archaeology major, I rarely admire people in other majors, but Wang Xu admires people in medicine, because the knowledge they need is more tedious and boring.
Knowing medicinal materials and pharmacology does not mean that you can make medicines and cure diseases.
The maturity of a drug, the extraction process and the dosage of the drug are not solved by the data, but can really be judged through years of experience.
In the past, if Wang Xu wanted to make some simple antidiarrheal drugs according to the information, he had to experiment with cows, lambs and lambs for several months before he dared to give them to them.
Nightshade is a common herb that can be directly cooked and eaten to treat cough, and several people have been poisoned before.
Not to mention Mo Kui's half-hung medical skills, after Wang Xu himself saw the witchcraft treatment of their great witch's secret, he knew that the destruction of the Lone Bamboo Country might not be due to external forces.
Although Wang Xu has two divine books in his hands, the Rural Medical and Health Handbook and the Barefoot Doctor's Handbook, due to the use of medicinal materials and tools, he has not made significant contributions to the medical cause of the Guzhu Country, and can only improve the quality of the people through his usual living habits, but once someone has a cold or other diseases, most of the time, they are helpless, or let Mohai and them try.
There is a medical department in Guzhu Country, with Mohai as the minister and Qi Bo.
The medical department of the Lone Bamboo Country is a medical team composed of Mohai plus the Baidi Department of the city, the Donghulin Hu Department, and the shamans and wizards of the major savage tribes.
Their treatment methods are supplemented by all kinds of unpleasant and strange medicinal pastes, and they mainly use all kinds of superstitious activities such as cutting meat, bloodletting, and jumping to ask the gods.
Later, it was ordered to be rectified by Wang Xu, and everyone learned the basic health knowledge of the two manuals, plus the medicinal materials and prescriptions that Wang Xu put together, which can be regarded as ensuring the basic medical care of Guzhu Country.
But Wang Xu knew that as long as there was a slight flu spreading in the country, it was likely to cause a plague-like effect in the end.
Therefore, a serious doctor is what Guzhu Country needs the most.
Carpenters, warriors, these can be used by Wang Xu's theory to make up the number of temporary, but only the group of doctors can't, because this is not a profession that can be trained with theory and experiments in the short term.
Moreover, the profession of doctor, although the status in the Warring States is not particularly high, but the monopoly group of all the princes and nobles, Wang Xu wanted Zhai Qiu to go to Liaoyang City to tie up a few Yan State doctors and come back, but he didn't expect that when he went, all the doctors were already in Wang Ben's military camp.
Tu Tan did not have a reliable doctor in Qi State.
I didn't expect to be able to pick up the descendants of Bian Quemen.
Although Lu Ai looks like a little doll, when practicing medicine, he does have the wind of a general.
In the face of the divine slave who was twice as big as him, he was still able to hold the scene lightly.
Moreover, Lu Ai's diagnosis method is not the hope and hearing of the legendary Chinese medicine.
Her diagnosis method turned out to be more like the diagnosis method of Western medicine in later generations, and she actually drew blood.
Or bloodletting, cutting a wound on the little finger, then squeezing the blood into a silver bowl, then stirring with chopsticks of several different materials, and then checking the pulse, and asking the examiner to do some movements.
Wang Xu looked at it from a distance for a while, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, walked over and asked, "I've measured more than 20 people, I can rest for a while." ”
Hearing this, Lu Ai stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your understanding." ”
After speaking, he squatted down and fished out the silk cloth soaked in the basin, wiped his face and arms.
"How is the health of the Shennu?" Wang Xu looked at the blood in the silver bowl that had not yet been poured out by him, because of the weather, it was almost dry, and it attracted a lot of flies.
"The physical condition of the Shennu guards is very special." Lu Ai threw the silk cloth back into the basin and said respectfully.
"What kind of special law?" Wang Xu asked.
"Too much qi and blood." A trace of solemnity flashed on Lu Ai's doll face, "According to common sense, it is a good thing to be full of qi and blood, but things must be reversed, too full, and it will cost you life." ”
Wang Xu narrowed his eyes: "Do you know the reason?" ”
"It doesn't look like a diagnosis." Lu Ai shook his head, "But I found that the amount of food of the divine slave is abnormal, the Jin idiot is already a gluttonous person, and the divine slave guard seems to be even worse, according to the Lu family's medical book, this is a disease of waterlogging." ”
"Waterlogging?" Wang Xu frowned.
"The human body is like a field, it needs to be cultivated, irrigated, planted, weededed, and harvested." Lu Ai explained, "But the human body is born different, just like the fertility of the river field is incomparable to the Gobi sand, but no matter what kind of field, through irrigation, it may be improved, which is also the medical philosophy of Lao Zu." ”
Bian Que is known as the ancestor of miscellaneous medicine, because his concept of medicine involves a wide range of theories, and he has his own set of theories, and it seems to be very useful, one of the core concepts is to treat diseases, not to prevent.
The most famous story recorded in history is the dialogue between King Wei Wen and Bian Que in the sixteenth middle school of Shixian under the Guanzi Juan, Bian Que said that among the three brothers in his family, Bian Que's own medical skills were the worst.
Bian Que's eldest brother treated the disease before the onset of the disease, and the patient himself did not feel sick at that time, but the eldest brother could take medicine to eradicate the root of the disease, making it difficult for his medical skills to be recognized, so he was not famous, but was respected in a small range of the family.
Bian Que's second brother's treatment was at the beginning of the disease, the symptoms were not very obvious, and the patient did not feel very painful, and the second brother was able to cure the disease with medicine, so that the villagers mistakenly thought that the second brother was only very good at curing some minor diseases.
Bian Que's treatment was all when the condition was very serious, the patient was already in extreme pain, and the patient's family had reached a state of impatience.
At this time, they saw Bian Que piercing the meridians, bleeding with needles, or applying poison to the affected area to fight poison, or performing major surgery to point directly at the lesion, so that the condition of the seriously ill patient was alleviated or cured quickly, so Bian Que was famous all over the world.
Bian Que has these two brothers not to say for the time being, this story expounds Bian Que's personal medical concept, the doctor and the patient are respected in the future, followed by the doctor and the patient at the beginning of the disease, and the worst is the doctor and the patient at the onset of the disease.
This book was included in the Han Calligraphy and Art Chronicles in the Western Han Dynasty, but later because Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty felt that this book was vulgar and thought it was a forgery, and after a thousand years, everyone defined it as a forgery.
However, a large number of silk books unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb have been unearthed, and a large number of records have overlapped with the crown, which confirms that this book is not a forgery.
Therefore, the story of Bian Que should also be true, confirming that Bian Que's medical concept is indeed extraordinary, based on prevention.
That is, the core thing of Chinese medicine, health care.
This health care has nothing to do with the health care products of later generations.
So when Lu Ai used farming to describe their family's diagnosis, Wang Xu felt very appropriate.
"So the disease of flooding is caused by over-irrigation victory?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.
"Yes, the draught of dry land is actually not as good as moistening the field, but most people think that dry land should be irrigated in large quantities, but in fact it is harmful to the land, and the land is still like this, and the human body is more fragile." Lu Ai said.
"What's the solution?" Wang Xu asked.
Lu Ai pursed his lips and shook his head, "The emperor forgives the sin." ”
"What about mitigation?" Wang Xu asked again.
"The ancestor once recorded a case, which was to cut off a part of the Taicang stomach." Lu Ai looked up and blinked.
The word stomach is used to take farmland from the human body.
Taicang is the most important farmland, and it also means a granary.
Wang Xu frowned, "Cut Taicang?" Is it to cut out a little bit of the stomach? ”
Lu Ai saw that after Wang Xu heard this kind of stomach-cutting statement, his face was not surprised or shocked, but his face was full of seriousness, and he was shocked, and hurriedly reined in his mind and replied, "Let me explain to the emperor first, this waterlogging disease, first of all, is because of overingency, which is commonly known as eating too much, the human body needs to maintain it through diet, but not eating more, the better, the ancestor recorded that most of the patients with waterlogging disease are suffering from binge eating, but people with binge eating disorder eat more, but their bodies are thin, And on the contrary, the qi and blood gradually declined, and eventually died of internal friction. ”
"Diabetes." Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Shennu is not this disease. ”
"Huh?" Lu Ai was stunned, "What did the emperor say?" ”
"It's okay, the binge-eating disorder you mentioned has another name for me, you go on." Wang Xu waved his hand.
Lu Ai pursed his lips, inexplicably a little nervous, "But there is really no sign of gluttony on the Shennu Guard, but he is only a shallow learner, and he has not been exposed to related cases, but he can be sure that this is indeed a waterlogging disease, and the Shennu Guard seems to be strong and abnormal, but in fact, it is deeply rooted in the disease, and it is difficult to live a long life." ”
"Is there any pain?" Wang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was a little weak.
Suffering?
What do you mean?
Because he didn't understand, Lu Ai's expression froze, and his eyes looked at Wang Xu's slightly frowning brows with some doubts, and his handsome face with clear shadows in the bright sun revealed an unconcealable sadness, and his heart trembled inexplicably. 11
