327 Make white powder

Thinking of using drugs to make money, Liu Hong couldn't bear it anymore. Especially after hearing that Hua Tuo had a large number of poppies, after finishing the reception banquet for Guan Ning and them, he went directly to Hua Tuo.

Since there were a large number of experimental materials, Hua Tuo and his students were busy all day long. Vowed to compile the most detailed atlas of human anatomy. And today, it was the day when the map was completed, and Liu Hong came to him.

Seeing Liu Hong coming, Hua Tuo thought that Liu Hong knew that his anatomy catalogue was completed, not to mention the excitement, "Your Majesty, you really care too much about the medical career." Wechen finished sorting out the catalogue, and you actually got the news and came in person. You really moved Weichen beyond measure. ”

Seeing Hua Tuo like this, Liu Hong's words were suffocated. There's no way, people have been working day and night for so long, how can he discourage people's enthusiasm.

"The medical career is a big matter related to the health of the entire human race, how can I not care. With such a big event as the completion of your catalogue, how could I not come and celebrate with you! With that, Liu Hong began to instruct his subordinates, "Hurry up and let people prepare, I will personally celebrate the Huayuan and those who participated in the drawing of the catalogue together." ”

The emperor was going to give them a banquet to celebrate, and Hua Tuo was very happy, especially the students. Emperor, what a high status that is, it is difficult to usually want to meet, but now he actually invited them to dinner.

And unlike those happy students, Liu Hong looked at the table of dishes, and was worried, "Alas, just this moment of hard work, I ate three meals!" But Liu Hong just couldn't help it. He just couldn't eat it anymore, and he had to force a smile on his face.

Everyone chatted while eating, "Hua Aiqing, once this catalogue is completed, will the teaching and application of surgery be accelerated?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hua Tuo happily replied, "Your Majesty, the catalogue is complete." When it is printed, it takes little effort. With these catalogue guidelines, surgery can be greatly accelerated, both in teaching and practical application. Wechen believes. It won't be long before the surgery happens. It can be fully rolled out in our big han. ”

"That's fine. That's fine. ”

Hearing this, Liu Hong was really happy. After all, in this way, the surgical skills of Chinese medicine are no longer in danger of being lost. It will never be the same as in later generations, and there will be no surgery in traditional Chinese medicine. And Liu Hong was happy, and Hua Tuo was even more happy. After all, this surgery is open. He became a founder.

Surgery can be passed on, and Liu Hong can be regarded as a matter of concern. Now, he's remembering the poppy again.

"Hua Aiqing, I heard from others. You have a lot of poppies here. I wanted to do some experiments with this thing, and it just so happened that you had made the catalogue here, so I went through it myself. I don't know, Hua Aiqing is here, are there many poppies? ”

"Your Majesty, when Weichen undergoes surgery, poppy must be added to the anesthetic drugs used. So Wechen here, there is some stock. How much do you want, if you don't want much, Wechen will take it for you. If you want more, you'll have to wait a few days. But it won't take long, this year's poppy has been harvested, and it won't be long before the new goods ordered by Weichen should be delivered. ”

"Oh, I don't need much for my experiments. However, as soon as the experiment is successful, the dosage will be large. I don't know Hua Aiqing, is there a way to order a large number of goods, and a large number of goods will be ordered every year. ”

"Your Majesty, opium poppy is not the main drug, and the dosage is not large. If you want to buy goods on a large scale, it's a bit unlikely. For example, the poppies of Weichen are specially planted by someone. Speaking of this, Hua Tuo began to remind Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, although it is late autumn now, it is not too late to sow poppies. If you need a lot of poppies every year, you might as well grow them yourself. ”

"Yes, such a dangerous thing should indeed be insured." After Hua Tuo's reminder, Liu Hong thought that if this thing is planted in the future, as long as there are more than two, it will have to be recorded. From this, you can know its power. So, how could he not take precautions in advance. "Yes, Hua Aiqing is very reasonable. You'll get some poppies for me to experiment with later, and I'll arrange for people to plant them. ”

"Your Majesty, what are you doing with poppies? Wechen has a little experience in the application of these poppies. Maybe Weichen can help His Majesty. ”

"That's great, if you want to fiddle with these things, you people are still experts. Later, the experiment will depend on Hua Aiqing. ”

Someone is willing to help, and Liu Hong is very happy. Therefore, he was very happy and agreed to Hua Tuo. At the beginning of the experiment, Liu Hong was glad that he had made a decision.

For white powder, Liu Hong except for the small packets of white powdery things he saw on TV. It is also known that it is extracted from the poppy. As for how to refine it, he didn't know at all. Therefore, if there is no Hua Tuo's help, but on his own, not to mention white powder, even opium, he will definitely not be able to drum it up. Moreover, even with Hua Tuo's help, this thing is not so easy to come out.

After more than a month of hard work, Liu Hong and Hua Tuo, steaming and boiling, plus roasting over the fire, after countless experiments, wasted a large number of poppies, and finally made some white powder.

"Your Majesty, can you see if this thing is what you said it is?" Hua Tuo took those white powders to Liu Hong and said, "Weichen tried it, these things do have the feeling you said." ”

Looking at those powders, Liu Hong didn't have the courage to test it himself, he instructed Hua Tuo and said: "Hua Aiqing, according to what you said, it should be this thing, it can't be wrong." But for the sake of insurance, let's make another batch and find a few prisoners and slaves to do the test. ”

Within a few days, Hua Tuo came to Liu Hong again, "Your Majesty, those things are really terrible. Don't look at the time, the prisoners and slaves, after smoking those powders, fluttering. Looking at the time of the past few days, these people, if they don't use some of those powders when they see the sky, like that, it is simply better to live than to die! ”

"Yes, that's what I need." Hearing this, Liu Hong was overjoyed. After so much effort, he finally got the white powder out. (To be continued......)
