In one breath, the master craftsman said more than fifty kinds of blue alone.

Among them, there are more than 70 kinds of forage used as grass to dye blue.

"Your Majesty, this time there is better blue material. At least five species of blue grass, two species of yellow grass, and one comfrey, which is estimated to be very good color, are found here. ”

Purple was a special color for the nobility.

Purple silk, sold to the Western Regions, is more than five times more expensive than ordinary or colorless.

Fortunately, the purple of the Qin State relied on grass, and the purple of the Roman side relied on shells.

King Qin listened happily, it was the first time he heard this, and he immediately ordered: "Come here, give each of the masters a new bottle of wine." ”

After thanking them, another said, "Your Majesty, this grass has a wonderful use." Take the blue grass as an example, the blue grass originally used by the Qi Kingdom, the leaves can be made into blue material, but for us and other medical craftsmen, the roots can cure wind and cold. ”

"Oh, that's so good."

"Yes, the more you study this grass, the deeper it becomes. I'm already working on writing a cursive scripture. At present, there are more than 1,000 kinds of grasses, some of which can be used to make grass dyeing, some can be medicinal herbs, and some are spices. Today, there is a grass fruit to join. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful. The day the book was written...... No, when compiling it, no one said that it would be rewarded, but if it was necessary, the Great Qin Treasury would guarantee it for you. ”

A group of old men excitedly thanked each other.

It is a very hard thing to write a book and speak about it.

Now that there is paper, it is much easier than before by carving bamboo, and it is very hard to sort out a lot of information and organize a lot of knowledge together.

These master craftsmen of medicinal herbs, grass dyeing, spices, etc., when they are too old to walk, they will join this department of compiling books, and they will collect what they have learned all their lives to compile a grass scripture.

Bai Hui had known about this for a long time.

Originally, Bai Hui thought, should this botany be separated, dyes, spices, medicinal herbs, etc., divided into several types.

But think about it again, since it is a spontaneous research in this era, why add so many bars, no matter what, let future generations slowly improve it.

For the first time, King Qin sat on the side with the masters of Dahewei, chatting without any gaps.

King Qin can be regarded as having learned.

The places where these old men have walked, but everything that they have not seen must be dug up. Even if you have seen and known, you must compare the difference between the north and the south.

Hearing these old men speak, King Qin was very modest, and asked in a tone of seeking advice: "This craftsman, what is incomprehensible is how the grass in the mountains became a medicinal material?" ”

"Your Majesty, the old man has been going into the mountains with his clan to collect medicine since he was a child, and some elders in the clan have talked about some things, and the old man himself has also observed."

"Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, there are wild boars in our Qinling Mountains, and after the wild boars are injured, they will go to look for grass, and the rats that escape from the bite of snakes will gnaw on the mud. The most amazing thing is that after the beads in the mountain were stung by bees, they would find dragon dung and apply it to the wound, which is the origin of the ancestors' herbology. ”

After hearing this, King Qin suddenly realized that it was such a method.

King Qin asked again: "So like now, we have found many plants, trees, trees and fruits here that we have never seen before, how to classify them?" ”

Immediately, a pharmacist came out and replied: "Your Majesty, after the Dahe Pharmaceutical Academy has sorted out the books from the time of King Wu of Zhou to the present, our Dahe Pharmaceutical Academy of the Qin State has all the medicine books except for the Zhao State, and it can be said that we can get all the medicine books right now." Someone is sorting out these books, and I heard that the cost is very huge, but this is not a matter for the little old man. ”

"Great!" King Qin knew that Bai Hui's Yiyang and Yichuan spent money like water, and some of them were only reported to the Jiuqing of the Qin State, and the Qin Palace was recorded in the secret record, which was not known to ordinary people.

The pharmacist continued: "Your Majesty, after sorting out, many books have been preliminarily written, and although we are not very literate, we are still listening to lectures and learning in addition to our tasks. ”

"Learn, learn."

"Your Majesty, there are three ways in the Dahe Medicine Academy now, the first is to imitate the god of the medicine king and taste the herbs. But this side is the last try. In the past, I inferred from the growth habits around the herbs, then tried rabbits, dogs, etc., and then tried it myself. ”

When the old medicine maker said this, he was proud.

These pharmacists have suffered greatly, and some herbs are very uncomfortable to die even if they are eaten without poisoning, and these pharmacists have made lifelong contributions to the study of medicinal materials.

King Qin got up and bowed: "The widow represents the world, thank the elders." ”

The pharmacists hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I tried the medicine to benefit the common people!" ”

As a pharmacist, they all want to worship the god of medicine, the god of medicine is said to taste medicine and die, these pharmacists are not afraid of death, they are only afraid of their own life nameless.

Many of them were ordinary herb pickers, but Bai Hui's new initiative has benefited them.

It is not only the abundance of life, but also the improvement of status. At the very least, each great medicine maker enjoys the worship of the ninth rank of the Qin State, and blesses his descendants.

Being able to leave a name in the pharmacopoeia is the only pursuit of these old pharmacists at the moment.

They have the tradition of the Great River Guard.

In any place, there can only be something that cannot be discovered, and there must be nothing missing.

You can not know, you can not understand, but there must be a sample left, I don't understand, it does not mean that a few people, a dozen, dozens of people study together, not afraid of not finding the medicinal properties of the herb.

Bai Hui knew the suffering of these people.

For ancient pharmacists who did not have chemical means, it was not easy to find the medicinal properties of medicinal materials.

It's one thing to try the drug yourself, and sometimes there are many people who try it.

When they are sick and have new medicinal materials to try, they will be given free treatment, or even if they are inverted, it is not certain whether they will die, but they will definitely have to suffer.

The condition is aggravated, the medicine is not right, or it is strangely uncomfortable or something.

The most abundant herbs are accumulation.

In addition to the great tonic and extremely beneficial medicine, many diseases are poisonous.

Compared with the medicine maker, the craftsmen of grass dyeing are much luckier, at most they can't find the right color, the number of dyes produced by the grass is small, the color is poor, and so on.

Of course, in the deep mountains and old forests, the damage of fierce beasts and poisonous insects is equal.

Then there's another camp, a camp near the docked area.

Qu Yuan was left here, and this time Bai Hui deliberately brought Wen Luo out, just to keep an eye on Qu Yuan.

Inside the tent, all kinds of food and drink are naturally not bad, and of course there is a crocodile leg.

"I've never seen this meat before."

Wen Luo replied on the side: "It is said that it is the earth dragon, one zhang long, thick skin and claws, and a sharp sword, and it is difficult to beat, and there is not much water on our ship, so we will temporarily stop the ship for a few days, and there is an expedition team responsible for finding the water source. ”
