Chapter 33: The Saints
Finally got rid of Mi Zhu, who asked for debts, Lu Chen finally found Chen Gong's carriage, and was just about to climb up, when he saw an old man in his fifties jumping on the carriage, the old man had half-white hair, a ruddy face, and was flexible and vigorous.
The old man jumped out two steps first, pulled Lu Chen and asked, "Lu Bochao, what you said in your letter, the essence of wine can wash away the wounded places and prevent them from ulcerating, but is it true?" ”
At the same time, Lu Chen said: "The old man is Mr. Yuanhua? ”
The old man didn't answer, and continued to ask: "The old man doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, don't use what you said about the gods to deceive me, the old man only asks you, how to extract the essence of wine?" The old man tried to dry the wine, but unfortunately the wine was not thicker, but lighter. ”
No need to ask, this old man is Hua Tuo, as a doctor, of course he knows the medical value of wine, but the wine of the Han Dynasty is all fermented wine, the degree is too low, disinfection is impossible, but it can be used for anesthesia. Hearing that Hua Tuo was actually drinking, Lu Chen was slightly surprised, the principle was almost the same, that is, he had reversed.
On the carriage, Chen Gong and Guo Jia walked down slowly, a little surprised, Hua Tuo is also a famous doctor now, and his bearing is also extraordinary, why is he so eager? Obviously, when they saw Lu Chen coming, the two of them first introduced Lu Chen.
After the ancient soldiers were injured, most of them died of infection, mainly because there was no disinfectant, and alcohol could disinfect, so a generation of famous doctors Hua Tuo would be so anxious. Of course, for the evil tetanus, Lu Chen has no way in this era, but washing with water and disinfection with alcohol can at least reduce the probability of tetanus.
It is still very difficult to purify alcohol to a very high concentration, but generally seventy or eighty degrees is quite simple, and this concentration is just right for disinfection, too high and too low to kill bacteria. It was precisely because of the simplicity of the method that Lu Chen was reluctant to say it in public, so as not to leak the secret. Of course, he can teach the method of purifying alcohol to other princes and use it to treat soldiers, which is a good thing to cure diseases and save people, and it can be done, but it also needs some benefits, right? Hi! Don't forget that Lu Chen set up a stall before crossing!
Lu Chen was not in a hurry to explain, helped Hua Tuo to get into the car, and said, "Old man, how about we get in the car and talk about it in detail?" ”
Hua Tuo swooped into the carriage, Lu Chen saw sweat on his forehead, it seemed that the five bird drama was much more reliable than radio gymnastics! From tomorrow onwards, learn the five poultry plays from the old gentleman.
In the carriage, Chen Gong spent a lot of time drinking tea, Guo Jia scratched his head on the side, and this game of backgammon was about to be lost again.
After getting into the carriage, Hua Tuo asked about alcohol again before he sat down, and Lu Chen had to take his eyes off the chessboard, concentrate on answering Hua Tuo's questions, and said the purification method he had conceived - distillation.
"So easy?"
After learning the specific purification method, Hua Tuo asked with a glare, obviously a little reluctant to believe it.
Of course, Lu Chen couldn't tell Hua Tuo, the evaporation temperature of alcohol was lower than that of water, and Hua Tuo couldn't understand it, and Lu Chen himself didn't understand it, chemistry or something was very weird. Lu Chen just knew that the liquor in later generations was distilled, so it would not be a problem to distill a 70-degree liquor.
Lu Chen said: "Mr. Yuanhua, yes or no, you and I will go to Yewang County to give it a try, don't you know?" ”
Hua Tuo then helped his beard and said, "It's okay!" If you can really make alcohol, the effect of alcohol is as miraculous as you say. The old man has been a living soul in the world since the present generation, thank you Xiaojunhou! ”
The Doctor is Benevolent!
Lu Chen's face flushed, he was embarrassed to tell Hua Tuo, this was the method he thought of when he drank with Guo Jia because he thought of a low alcohol content.
Hua Tuo said with a sincere face: "As soon as the alcohol is completed, the old man will agree to everything that Xiaojun said in the letter!" Don't say a year, it's ten years, and the old man is willing! ”
On the side, Guo Jia said curiously: "A year? What does Bo Chao want Mr. Yuanhua to do for you? ”
Hua Tuo hurriedly said, "This ...... Actually, it's not a big deal, Xiaojun Hou asked Liu Yuzhou to send a letter to the old man, and asked the old man to help him teach a group of doctors, about a hundred. ”
Guo Jia looked at Lu Chen with a strange expression and said, "You asked Mr. Yuanhua to teach others a secret technique?!" ”
Chen Gong was slightly angry and glared at Lu Chen fiercely, he had always regarded himself as an elder in front of Lu Chen, because Lu Bu respected him too much, and Lu Chen respected him equally.
In this era, the inheritance of skills can only be fathers and sons or masters and apprentices, and they are passed on to outsiders.
Lu Chen knew that there were such drawbacks in ancient times, but he didn't care about them, and said, "Don't look at me like that, I'm not harming Mr. Yuanhua, I'm helping him!" ”
Hua Tuo was obviously a little embarrassed, this was a kind old guy, although he was a little reluctant to pass on his medical skills to outsiders, but when he saw Lu Chen being targeted by Guo Jia Chen Palace, he was also uncomfortable.
Chen Gongzheng took a deep breath and wanted to count Lu Chen.
Lu Chen reacted faster and asked, "Mr. Fengxiao of Gongtai, you are both scholars, dare to ask where the avenue in the book comes from?" Isn't it the scriptures written by the sages, if these sages also passed on the Great Dao only to their own children, dare to ask if you can still learn this body of the scriptures? Writer, carry on the unique learning of the past saints, and open the peace of eternity! Healer, isn't that true? ”
Chen Gong Guo Jia shut up at the same time, and Hua Tuo was thoughtful.
Lu Chen said: "I said Mr. Yuanhua, naturally what I said is true. I want to help Mr. Yuanhua recruit disciples, just like the Confucian saint back then, and spread the mystery of the Great Dao to the world! A hundred years later, Mr. Yuanhua is the saint of medical Taoism! Not to mention whether he can become a saint or not, the more people Mr. Yuanhua teaches his lifelong medical skills, the more his disciples can save thousands of people, wouldn't it be more than Mr. Yuanhua can save alone? Saving 10,000 people or saving 10,000 people, which is more important? ”
Hua Tuo was slightly excited, his beard trembled slightly, and he arched his hand towards Lu Chen and said, "Xiaojun is waiting for Gaoyi, the old man has been taught!" ”
"Mr. Yuanhua is too modest! Just call me Bochao. I ask you to form this medical team, which is a pilot, if it is successful, this army will be able to have perfect medical care, and the lives of the soldiers will be more guaranteed! After Mr. Yuanhua left our office, Chen hoped that you would go to more princes and help them form a medical team. Although in the future, some people will become the enemies of our army, but we are all Han Chinese, and I don't want the enemy army to die too many people, because, I know, they only fight to eat! At the same time, I don't want to be uninhabited for thousands of miles after this troubled world, and there will be no roosters for hundreds of miles. ”
Lu Chen said his true thoughts, which was not too great, but just a hope for his own nation.
Afterwards, Lu Chen looked at Guo Jia and said: "So, I don't have a good impression of Cao Cao, who often slaughters the city, but when I talk about the medical team today, I don't shy away from Mr. Fengxiao, because I hope that Cao Jun can also provide good medical security for the soldiers." Only with the people can there be food, and only with food can there be national strength! To tell you the truth, I have always laughed at your military tun farmers, do you know why? Because the people are all soldiers, there is not enough food, so the soldiers have to be in the fields! The people who didn't serve as soldiers were slaughtered by Cao Cao again! ”
In the end, Lu Chen became a little excited, not because he hated Cao Cao to the core, but because he hated this world! This world affects not just the present, but hundreds of years to come! At the end of the Han Dynasty, 50 million Han people, eighty or ninety percent died due to the melee of the Three Kingdoms! Except for those who fled to the wilderness to escape the world, after the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, the population was only a few million! So much so that decades later, there was not enough national strength and manpower to resist, the Han people in the north were almost slaughtered, and the Han civilization almost withered.
