Chapter 39 The Body is the Capital of the Revolution
The Lord of Cheshire couldn't understand the connection between curing her brother's illness and transporting eels from the sea to Fangzhou.
Looking at the confused look of the Cheshire Lord, Shi Wei's originally somewhat solemn expression became relaxed.
He said slowly: "This eel, also known as the white eel, is cooked and eaten with wine, but it has the miraculous effect of killing insects, curing corpses, healing gas, and strain, and has the effect of nourishing the body, so this eel is the prescription prescribed by the lower officials for King Zheng to cure tuberculosis. ”
In fact, this prescription for treating tuberculosis has long been recorded in the Chinese medicine works "Taiping Shenghui Fang" and "Compendium of Materia Medica".
It's just that one of these two books was written in the middle of the Song Dynasty and the other in the Ming Dynasty.
Even if it can be found out that the patient has tuberculosis, he may not be able to think of a radical cure for eels.
Therefore, when everyone heard that King Chai had tuberculosis, they actually didn't report too much hope that it could be cured, and now when they heard that Shi Wei sprinkled a dose of eel prescription, everyone was naturally surprised by Shi Wei's medical skills.
The Lord of Cheshire didn't understand what Shi Wei said, but she was convinced that Shi Wei's medical skills were outstanding, and now that she had prescribed a prescription, how could she dare to hesitate, even if she repaired a book, she sent someone to Bianjing to ask for help from the Son of Heaven at night.
This eel is a saltwater fish, and it must be caught in the sea, and Fangzhou is located in the inland west of the empire, in such an era of underdeveloped transportation, the people and officials here, not to mention that they have never eaten eels, and most people have never even heard of it.
If an ordinary person gets this tuberculosis, even if the doctor can prescribe this prescription, I am afraid that he will not be able to get the sea fish that can only be found thousands of miles away.
Chai Zongxun was much luckier, and it was precisely because of his extraordinary identity that he saved his life.
As long as Zhao Kuangyin made a decree, he used the state apparatus slightly, not to mention the eels in the sea, even if it was a lobster in Australia, those coastal states and counties would do their best to send it to this mountain from thousands of miles away.
Just when the Cheshire Lord wrote a letter and was about to send his henchmen to Bianjing, Shi Wei made a look and sent the Cheshire Lord to a quiet place.
Seeing that there were no eyes and ears, Shi Wei said in a low voice: "County Lord, please tell the person who sent the letter, after leaving the city, don't take the road to the east when we came, but go west to Hanzhong first, then go north to Chang'an, and then go east to Bianjing through Luoyang." ”
"Why? In this way, wouldn't it be a big circle and waste a lot of time on the road in vain. "Lord Cheshire couldn't understand Shi Wei's intentions for a while.
Shi Wei glanced around, lowered his voice, and almost whispered: "King Zheng's illness, I suspect that the previous Gan Zhizhou was a hindrance, if you take the original shortcut, I am only afraid that the messenger will have accidents on the road, in case this happens, that is the real delay of King Zheng's illness." ”
"You mean the ...... surnamed Gan" The Cheshire Lord Bing Xue was smart, and immediately understood Shi Wei's hint, and he exclaimed.
Shi Wei hurriedly put up his index finger to his mouth, signaled her not to be quiet, and reminded: "This is the boundary of Fangzhou, it is not appropriate to startle the snake in advance, everything will be determined after returning to Bianjing and making a statement to the saint." ”
As the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, the Cheshire Lord will not understand this truth, and after listening to Shi Wei's persuasion, he temporarily suppressed the suspicion and anger in his heart, and only explained to his henchman according to Shi Wei's advice.
The servant was also able to do things, according to Shi Wei's instructions, dressed up in disguise, spared a big circle, and it took more than half a month to arrive in Bianjing.
During this period, Shi Wei used his medical skills to the fullest, using acupuncture and moxibustion, and prescribing medicine, doing his best to delay the deterioration of Chai Zongxun's condition.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was in Bianjing, received a distress letter from the Lord of Cheshire, and immediately issued an order to catch the life-saving eel for Chai Zongxun.
However, Zhao Kuangyin was also smart and refused to use the manpower and material resources of the Great Song Dynasty, but handed over this will to Lu Duoxun, who sent an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty again, and asked him to hand it over to Li Yu to do.
Last year, Lu Duoxun sent an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty to persuade Li Yu to enter Bianjing to come to the court to no avail, and when today's son was angry, he had already moved the idea of using troops to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
After the former Panshi Wei and Fan Ruoshui offered a pontoon bridge, Zhao Kuangyin had issued a secret order to the Song army in the Jingxiang area, and ordered the local sailors to build the bridge.
It's just that Zhao Kuangyin has a glimmer of hope for the peaceful recovery of Jiangnan Shangbao, so in the early spring, he sent Lu Duoxun to the Southern Tang Dynasty, on the one hand, to persuade Li Yu to return to obedience, and on the other hand, to take the opportunity to explore the Southern Tang Dynasty.
As soon as Lu Duosun took out Zhao Kuangyin's will, Li Yu naturally did not dare to be sloppy, and hurriedly sent orders to the coastal states and counties of the Southern Tang Dynasty, urging local fishermen to go to sea to catch eels widely, and then send people and efforts to Fangzhou to thousands of mountains and rivers.
A month later, the Great Song Dynasty did not spend a penny per person, and dozens of tanks of eels were delivered to King Zheng's mansion.
Shi Wei then ordered to go down and remove the dead eels, choose those that were still fresh, mix them with salt in the ratio of two catties of fish and two glasses of wine, mix them with salt, and boil them into fish soup for King Zheng and those people in the royal palace who were infected with tuberculosis.
Although the medicine to cure the disease is no longer a problem, Chai Zongxun has been sick for a long time, and it is not cured in a day or two.
In the next two months, Nantang continued to send eels to Fangzhou, while Shi Wei stayed in King Zheng's mansion, under his careful conditioning, Chai Zongxun's cough gradually stopped, and the whole person was also refreshed, and finally showed signs of serious illness healing.
Unconsciously, spring went to summer, flowers were in full bloom, and Shi Wei had been staying in Fangzhou for more than two months.
Early in the morning, Shi Wei woke up, and after washing up a little, he started exercising in the courtyard.
First jumped rope, then pull-ups, and then sit-ups, those people outside the hospital who passed by, looking at this fresh scene, couldn't help but talk in private.
Since Shi Wei treated Zheng Wang, in addition to maintaining normal hygiene and avoiding infectious bacteria, he has also consciously strengthened exercise to maintain a good physique and enhance his own immunity.
Therefore, soon after he moved into the palace, he asked the people in the palace to invite craftsmen to come, and according to the drawings he drawn, many sports facilities such as horizontal bars, double carries, and dumbbells were made in this courtyard.
Skipping rope also exists in this era, but it is called jumping rope, which is commonly known as skipping rope, and it is generally only used as a game played by children during festivals.
Like Shi Wei, a person jumps rope alone, and he also jumps on one foot, on both feet, and on two feet.
As for the "pull-ups", not to mention, when they saw Shi Wei grabbing the bamboo pole up and down, they couldn't help but snicker, and they were all secretly amazed that this superb imperial doctor had a very special hobby, how he preferred to be a "monkey trick".
"Twenty ...... Twenty-one...... Twenty-two ......"
"Shi Fengyu, what are you doing here?"
Shi Wei was pulling the pull-ups, and his body was just halfway pulled when an exclamation suddenly came from behind him, he was startled, and his hands fell down as soon as he loosened his strength.
When he looked back, the man who looked at him with a surprised face was none other than Lord Cheshire.
In the past two months, the Cheshire Lord's mind has been on taking care of her brother, and it is rare that he will think of visiting Shi Wei today, and he doesn't want to meet Shi Wei doing that "weird" exercise for the first time.
Shi Wei pulled up the towel around his neck to wipe his sweat and said, "Xiaguan is doing pull-ups, why is the county lord interested in coming to Xiaguan here today." ”
Lord Cheshire stepped forward and said with a slight smile: "Thanks to Shi Fengyu's careful treatment, Brother Wang's body is becoming more and more energetic, and I suddenly remembered that I haven't officially thanked Shi Fengyu today, so I came over." ”
"This is a matter within the duties of the lower officials, and it is really not worth mentioning, so why should the county lord say thank you." Shi Wei looked humble.
Lord Cheshire's attention couldn't help but turn to the horizontal bar, and he said curiously: "Shi Fengyu, what kind of 'pull-up' you are talking about, it looks weird, but I don't know what it is for?" ”
Shi Wei saw that she was interested, so he said: "The county lord doesn't know, this pull-up helps to exercise the muscles on the back and arms, and has the effect of strengthening the body." ”
Hearing his words, Lord Cheshire's expression couldn't help but become more and more curious.
She carried the bamboo pole, but she was puzzled: "I only know that martial artists will deliberately strengthen their bodies, in order to have the strength to go into battle to kill the enemy, you are an imperial doctor, you don't need to go to the battlefield, and you don't need to do hard work, you use your own ingenuity, why bother yourself like this." ”
In ancient times, it was important to pay attention to the hard work of the superior people, the labor of the inferior people, the hard work of the people, the labor of the people, the labor of the people, so in the exercise of the body quite careless, the Cheshire Lord has this doubt is inevitable.
Shi Wei didn't think it was strange, and only patiently explained: "The county lord's words are wrong, you need to know that the body is the foundation of people, and if you are healthy, you will not be easy to get sick, and you can also prolong your life, only in this way will you have more energy and more time to use your wisdom to serve the country." ”
Lord Cheshire's blank eyes blinked a few times, as if he had heard something.
Shi Wei then said: "Let's take His Royal Highness King Zheng as an example, if he had taken a small part of his study time to exercise and cultivate a strong physique, then he might not have suffered from this tuberculosis at all, and he would not have to go through so much suffering." ”
Hearing his words, the Lord of Cheshire seemed to have an understanding.
She was silent for a while, and couldn't help nodding and said, "Shi Fengyu, what you said is very reasonable, from now on, I will also exercise well, why don't you teach me this pull-up." ”
Seeing an "ancient" and being persuaded by his own ideas, Shi Wei was quite proud in his heart and readily agreed.
He demonstrated how to do a few pull-ups and then asked the Lord of Cheshire to try it himself.
It's just that the Lord of Cheshire is a head shorter than him, and his daughter's bounce is naturally weak, and he always can't catch the bar after jumping a few times.
Shi Wei couldn't help but want to laugh.
The Cheshire Lord was in a hurry, and complained with a red face: "You are really, you are so high that this bamboo pole stand is so high." ”
Shi Wei restrained his smile and arched his hand: "County Lord, forgive the offended." ”
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly grabbed Lord Cheshire's waist with both hands, and with a little force, he lifted her body high.
When Lord Cheshire reacted, the man was already in mid-air, and his heart couldn't help but move.
