Chapter 393: The Journey

"Rice seeds?"

Gu Heng listened to his granddaughter's plan and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Mobilize the army and mobilize the people, and do not hesitate to send troops to occupy a wild land, just for the sake of rice seeds.

"Ah Weng, don't underestimate this rice seed."

Gu Tingcheng has top-level biological skills, and he is not too familiar with some small knowledge of animals and plants.

She said, "This rice variety is upland rice, which is drought-tolerant and adaptable, and can be grown not only in Lingnan, but also in other places!"

"The point is, it's fast! The fastest one only takes more than fifty days!"

In Lingnan, because of the unique weather and geography, it is easy to achieve two crops a year, or even three crops a year.

But even then, a lot of conditions are needed.

Champa rice, a rice seed, seems to have cheated, and it only takes less than two months to mature.

Moreover, with such rice seeds, Gu Tingcheng can allow old farmers to try "hybridization" to create new varieties with high yields and drought tolerance.

Hybrid rice, definitely nuclear weapons level.

Gu Tingcheng knew that in her own world, there were many restrictions under conditions, and it may not be completely restored.

But as long as we can double the output, we can solve the problem to the greatest extent.

With sufficient food, Gu Qingcheng was confident that he would occupy a larger negative piece and train more soldiers and horses.

At that time, it will be easy to kill back Jiankang!

"Just over fifty days? Less than two months?"

Gu Heng was really shocked.

Although he was born in a family and was in the center, he seemed to be a noble man on top.

However, Gu Heng is not a dead reader, he is a standard family son, proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, well-read, and travels all over the world.

He also dabbled in farming, medical skills, etc.

Maybe Gu Heng won't farm the land himself, but at least he still knows the "common sense".

Rice seeds, which can be harvested in less than two months, are indeed very valuable.

If it is promoted, there will be no more hunger worries in the world.

"Good! Then take Jiaozhou!"

Gu Heng is a person who has done the Chinese book order, and he has the heart of the family and the country.

He also knew that if such an "artifact" was in the hands of the Gu family, his granddaughter's great cause would be smoother!

Gu Heng looked deeply at Gu Qingcheng, who was becoming more and more beautiful, and his eyes were full of relief and pride.

If he was willing to devote his family strength to support his little granddaughter before, it was more of a guilt, distress, and family affection.

So at this moment, seeing that Gu Tingcheng was so successful and had discovered a magical rice seed, Gu Heng only felt: In this world, Aqing can take it!

Gu Tingcheng used facts to prove that she can be stronger and more capable.

Once we have a goal, we must continue to train our troops.

In addition, if you want to send troops, you must prepare in advance for issues such as grain and grass, war horses, logistics supplies, etc.

In Lingnan, there is also a fatal existence - miasma.

For miasma, the name is only seen in the history books of the past dynasties, but the cause is not seen.

There is no clear explanation for what exactly a miasma is.

Is it the toxic gas derived from the dense forests and waters of southern Xinjiang in the humid and hot climate? Or is it an outbreak caused by the bite of a mosquito (Plasmodium) or the like?

Later generations did not have a clear answer, and Gu Tingcheng, as an ancient native living in Lingnan, could not make a judgment for a while.

All she knew was that the poison of the miasma was terrifying.

The people of the world are afraid of Lingnan like a tiger, in addition to being remote, wild, and uncivilized, the main thing is that it is also a miasma!

Although Gu Tingcheng has knowledge of medicine and biology, she only has one, no equipment, no helpers, and she can't do research to find out what the miasma is!

She can only follow her own ideas and conduct some experiments.

First of all, regardless of whether the miasma is biogas or what kind of poisonous gas, anti-inflammatory drugs are a must.

On the way to be exiled to Lingnan, Gu Tingcheng collected a lot of things along the way.

Among them is aged mustard stew.

This is probably the earliest anti-inflammatory drug in the Celestial Empire.

It is the use of moldy mold to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, and it is a proper soil antibiotic.

However, in the end, the stew of aged mustard is only the most primitive, not an over-the-counter medicine, and the efficacy, whether it is allergic and other issues cannot be guaranteed at all.

After Gu Tingcheng came to Lingnan, he began to search for all kinds of talents who were exiled to Lingnan.

In addition to craftsmen and farmers who can build houses and farm, Gu Tingcheng also focuses on recruiting doctors.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang, how has this mustard stew been developed?"

Gu Tingcheng found the first batch of medical talents she recruited.

Imperial Physician Zhang is said to be the descendant of the medical saint.

Ahem, this "supposedly" is more like a boast than a real game.

However, the Zhang family has indeed practiced medicine for generations, and since the father of Taiyi Zhang, he has been selected to enter the Tai Hospital.

Becoming a Tai Yi is indeed the pinnacle of the career of ancient doctors.

However, the "rebirth rate" of the hospital is too high.

If one is not careful, the imperial doctors will be involved in the intrigues of the palace and the overthrow of officialdom.

The status of the doctor is extremely low, and once something happens, the first person to be cannon fodder is the doctor.

Moreover, the patients of the Tai Hospital are all powerful people.

If you encounter a medical trouble, you will lose your official position and be punished, or you will be exiled and beheaded!

Taiyi Zhang is one of the many unlucky people in Tai Hospital.

Speaking of which, Imperial Physician Zhang is really wronged.

He was exiled by the former Emperor Xiao.

Back then, there was a very favored concubine in the harem, who had dystocia during childbirth, and one foot was stuck in the birth canal, and both mother and child were in danger.

Wen Po was helpless, so the emperor went to force the imperial doctor.

Doctor: ...... Where are we going to deliver babies?

Imperial Physician Zhang Xu was dizzy for a moment, and actually muttered in a low voice, "Maybe you can take the child by caesarean section!"

Disembowel?

Of course not!

Therefore, the favorite concubine has two lives.

The emperor was sad and angry, and began to look for the account.

The first to bear the brunt is the person who waits around the favorite concubine, followed by the stable woman who delivered the baby, and the imperial doctor who is in charge of the consultation.

Then, Emperor Xu was still angry, and remembered the arrogant nonsense of the imperial doctor!

Get!

It was such an unintentional sentence that came out of the bald language, and Imperial Doctor Zhang and his whole family were exiled to Lingnan.

Imperial Physician Zhang's family was exiled, but they were exiled for the real thing.

They don't have the treatment of taking care of their families, let alone riding in a car, they have to be served by slaves, they have to wear shackles and locks, eat and sleep in the open, and walk all the way.

The Zhang family had a total of twenty-seven people, and when they arrived in Lingnan, there were only nine people left.

It shows its tragedy.

After this difficulty, Imperial Doctor Zhang completely learned to shut up.

The whole person has become reticent and does not dare to try novel medical methods easily.

However, Gu Tingcheng's recruitment, the importance of the Gu family, and the many "inspirations" proposed by Gu Tingcheng slowly stimulated Imperial Doctor Zhang's dead heart.

In Gu's Wubao, Imperial Physician Zhang rekindled the passion and enthusiasm of a doctor.

"Mustard stew, it really has a miraculous effect!"

"I've tried to extract the mold and make it into a stable medicine."

When it comes to his profession, Taiyi Zhang finally did not speak silently.

He really likes to study medical skills, and Gu Qingcheng gave him sufficient conditions and gave him considerable respect.

This is the Gu family of Wujun, a noble family, compared to the royal family, it is not inferior at all.

But the little girl of the Gu family is polite and considerate.

Imperial Physician Zhang and his family members all felt the kindness and sincerity from the Gu family.

Death for a confidant!

Imperial Physician Zhang thought that he would die of old age in a remote and wild foreign land.

But he didn't think about it

arrived, he actually had such a way of luck - Gu's!

The family will not be satisfied with Lingnan, a place outside the country, and they will definitely find a way to return to Kyoto.

And he, Zhang, as the person Gu Sanniang has to use, should be able to go back with him, right?

After gaining respect and seeing hope, Dr. Zhang became more and more active.

He even began to try experiments that he didn't dare to try in Beijing: rabbits, mice, cats and dogs, etc., all became the objects of Taiyi Zhang's drug test.

The Chen mustard stew that Gu Tingcheng handed over to him was also really developed by him.

"Good! Imperial Physician Zhang really lives up to the reputation of the Xinglin family!"

Gu Qingcheng was very satisfied, looked at the medicinal powder stored in the small porcelain bottle, and nodded again and again.

Now that you have the primary version of an anti-inflammatory drug, is it possible to try extracting artemisinin?

The Gu family is a family with an exceptionally large collection of books.

Even if he was exiled, Gu Heng brought one or two carriages of books.

Coincidentally, in the Gu family's collection, there are some medical books or Taoist classics.

Gu Tingcheng remembered that the earliest ancient book that recorded the extraction of artemisinin should be Ge Hong's "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The time and space where Gu Tingcheng is located is an overhead dynasty in a parallel world.

There are no dynasties such as the Wei and Jin dynasties, but the background is similar.

However, some similar works have also been derived.

Gu Tingcheng found the relevant content in the codex of *** scholar's book:

"Hold the Artemisia annua, soak it in two liters of water, wring the juice, and take it to your heart's content."

She took the codex to Imperial Physician Zhang.

Doctor Zhang: "Malaria? Is this an ancient cure for malaria?"

"Yes! Lingnan is hot and humid, there are many mosquitoes, and Gu Shi Wubao pays attention to hygiene, and there is no malaria yet."

Gu Tingcheng nodded and said softly, "But if you go to the wild, you will inevitably be bitten by mosquitoes, and the risk of contracting malaria will be greatly increased!"

When Imperial Physician Zhang heard Gu Tingcheng's words, he seemed to have thought of something, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

Not only Lingnan, but also on the way to Lingnan, there will be cold, malaria and other diseases.

And such a disease, as long as you get it, is just one word - death!

Rao is Zhang family is a medical family, and the children and nephews in the family have been rolling in the pile of herbs since they were children, and when it really came to a critical juncture, they were helpless one by one.

I can only watch my loved ones die alive because of the high fever that does not go away!

"Sanniang, don't worry! I'm going to do my best!"

Not only to repay Gu Qingcheng's kindness, but also to make contributions in front of the lord, but also for the regret he once had!

「……」

Gu Qingcheng nodded, and didn't say too much to draw cakes, "Just tell the steward if you need anything!" If you can't do anything, come to me!"

Gu Qingcheng has already made a plan, as soon as next year, and the year after the latest, she will lead the troops to the battle.

Lingnan is a piece of world, as long as the problem of miasma is solved, it is a paradise - abundant materials, high sky and wide seas, and there is a lot to be done.

Here, it is also Gu Qingcheng's career, and she will definitely manage it well.
