Chapter 9: Transforming Healthcare (3)
As far as Zhang Bingliang's performance so far is concerned, Chongzhen is very satisfied. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Since this person is available, Chongzhen decided to give him a more detailed account of the plan. Zhang Bingliang's current ability may still be some distance from Chongzhen's ideal candidate, but Chongzhen believes that as long as time is given, Zhang Bingliang is still completely competent.
Chongzhen took a closer look at the dragon well again, turned his gaze to Zhang Bingliang, and continued to him: "The third is the problem of medicinal materials, now the supply of medicinal materials in the Ming Dynasty should be planted artificially, but the key is that the output is limited. Therefore, in order to increase the yield, it is necessary to improve the cultivation pattern, otherwise, the yield and quality of the medicinal herbs will decrease. Gu Zhen understands that the cultivation of herbs can only receive one season a year, and if the planting time is long, the yield of medicinal herbs will decline. Therefore, these will cause the current shortage of medicinal materials.
I know from ancient texts that this is due to the fact that plants consume too much of the material in the soil after being planted many times, and the plant will not grow well without this substance. Therefore, if we want to increase the yield of herbs, we must supplement the soil with these substances, which I will call fertilizer.
In our current planting methods, we use livestock and human manure for fertilization. This is a great way to supplement these substances that plants need. However, in today's general food shortage, there is very little manure and there is simply no enough supply for plant growth.
So, I read a lot of texts and learned that inverted bean plants don't need much fertilizer, but they can grow very well. Moreover, if the land where the bean plants have grown, and then plant other plants, the harvest will be much better. According to this, is it possible to let the medicine farmers rotate the seeds, so that they can harvest a part of the beans; It can also increase the production of drugs, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
Of course, these are just some of my ideas, and they have not yet been implemented, and the specific effect still needs to be tested by the medicine farmers. ”
Zhang Bingliang didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would be so knowledgeable. I've never seen this book before, and it seems that I need to study it carefully. Zhang Bingliang is a doctor, and he is an imperial doctor, with a noble status, although he also understands the cultivation of medicinal materials, but this is some vulgar work after all, he is in short supply of medicinal materials, he sighed, but he doesn't know anything about this matter at all. Therefore, when Chongzhen said this, the only thing he could do was to silently write it down, and these things were not something he could understand for a while. Zhang Bingliang felt that the pressure was really great at this time, a genius emperor would never tolerate the minister being mediocre, he had been an envoy of the Tai Hospital for so many years, and for the first time he had doubts and worries about whether he could be competent, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
Looking at Zhang Bingliang's tightly knit brows, Chongzhen understood that what he said today was a bit too much, and with Zhang Bingliang's vision, he might not be able to accept it for a while. However, time is pressing, and these things must be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be a little late to implement them when the world is in chaos. Chongzhen must use chemical knowledge to improve the grain production of the Ming Dynasty, but some people wonder why it is to increase the grain production, but they find the envoy of the Tai Hospital. This has to start from the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule, more than 90 percent of the Ming Dynasty are peasants, for the agricultural country, the six departments are all for agriculture. Reform of agricultural planting methods, received more attention, the same impact on thousands of years of planting mode, the resistance will inevitably increase, therefore, from the inconspicuous medicinal planting shot, and so on to have an effect, and then promote and explain the principle of nitrogen fixation elements of rhizobia of legumes, it will be much smoother, and easier to implement.
The per capita arable land of Daming is very large, but the grain output per mu is very limited. The reason why the peasants rebelled was actually very simple, for the sake of a way to survive. Natural disasters and high taxes have forced farmers who are already on the verge of collapse to take risks. Historically, peasant uprisings in many places were ignited by the Great Famine. Therefore, in order to eradicate the peasant uprising, the first thing to do is not to suppress it, but to solve the problem of the peasants' food. In the Ming Dynasty, rebellion was a major crime of the nine clans, and if they were not persecuted to a certain extent, they would not embark on the road of no return.
Chongzhen asked Zhang Bingliang to come over today, in addition to reforming the medical system and increasing the output of medicinal materials, there is a more important purpose, that is, in ancient China, the spread of chemical knowledge was often inseparable from alchemy. Famous alchemists in China, such as Wei Boyang, Zuo Ci, Ge Hong, Tao Hongjing, Ma He, Sun Simiao and others, are not only alchemists, but also famous pharmacists, and their medical skills are very high.
And Zhang Bingliang in front of Chongzhen is a relatively good alchemist, the name of the Ming Dynasty for matter is too different from that of later generations, Chongzhen urgently needs such a talent who is familiar with this aspect, Zhang Bingliang is the best choice. It can be said that Zhang Bingliang should also make a career, if it weren't for Chongzhen being born in the chemistry class, Zhang Bingliang's official position would have stopped there. In the Ming Dynasty, great importance was attached to birth, of course, this birth, not to be proud, but to refer to the Jinshi and the first. Jinshi was born much faster than Ye Luzi as an official, and there are even many people who enter the cabinet as ministers. However, now that Chongzhen is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, everything is about to change. Chongzhen understands that in this troubled world, birth is not important, character is not important, the important thing is ability and courage, as long as there is the corresponding talent, Chongzhen will be bold and will not have any scruples. Since he has decided to reform, he will inevitably be impacted, and Chongzhen has been mentally prepared enough. Wei Zhongxian is the first, and Zhang Bingliang will be the second.
Chongzhen tasted a dragon well again, and continued to say to Zhang Bingliang: "Aiqing, you go back today, draft a memo for today's conversation, and submit it to me at the court meeting. It's up to you tomorrow to see how you perform. ”
Looking at Chongzhen's eyes full of expectation and trust, Zhang Bingliang did not have a trace of hesitation and timidity this time: "Minister, go back and write the folds, and I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." If the emperor has nothing to do, the minister will retire first. ”
Chongzhen didn't want Zhang Bingliang to leave like this, he had more important things to say: "Don't be busy, in addition to this matter, I still have things to do with Aiqing." I heard that Aiqing loves alchemy, and the emperor has taken a lot of pills you have refined. ”
Zhang Bingliang was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, but this sudden move surprised Chongzhen.
"Aiqing, what is this doing, I don't blame you, let's be even." As soon as Chongzhen thought about it, he understood that Zhang Bingliang might have misunderstood and mistakenly thought that Chongzhen was going to liquidate the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Bingliang slowly stood up, feeling like he had walked out of hell. The Emperor of the Apocalypse died young, and he, the imperial envoy, had an unshirkable responsibility.
"I'm very interested in alchemy these days, and when you go back, in addition to writing the memo, you will also order someone to sort out the names of the commonly used materials in alchemy. In addition, I will take time to visit your alchemy room. Chongzhen directly stated his intentions, only by familiarizing himself with the differences between the names of substances as soon as possible, can there be no mistakes when arranging manpower. Chongzhen believes that with his solid chemical foundation, it is not difficult to change the basic chemical industry of Daming, and this day is just around the corner.
