Chapter Ninety-Nine: Healing Wind and Cold
In just a few days, the guards of Xianyang Palace found more than 30 good farmers and doctors from all over Neishi County, and then placed these people in Shanglin Yuan by the order of Fu Su.
As early as when the guards of Xianyang Palace just went out to find these people, Fusu had already begun to extract the relevant knowledge of agriculture and medicine from his mind, as far as the knowledge he knew before the crossing was concerned, it was obviously only some of the most basic aspects of the vast agricultural and medical knowledge in later generations, even so, these fur knowledge was the top existence in an era like Daqin.
Fusu told these doctors about the medical theory of treating the disease of wind and cold, as well as the common prescriptions used to treat colds in later generations, but it was also the simplest prescription composed of honeysuckle, forsythia, bupleurum and other medicines. Of course, the names of these medicinal materials were not like this at this time, and Fusu did not know what these medicinal materials were called in the Qin Dynasty, and he was pleased that he had the opportunity to know these medicinal materials.
After Fusu's guidance, these medical officers did not pretentiously, so they took the rough map of these medicinal herbs drawn by Fusu and went to the mountains to look for these herbs.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of these doctors to go to the mountains to find medicine, Fusu gathered those good farmers together, and discussed with them how to increase agricultural production.
After five or six days of discussion and demonstration, these good farmers worked out a complete set of methods to increase production with the help of Fusu, and they were waiting for these farmers to take these methods to Guilin County to compete with the farmers who represented the ministers, if they managed the fields according to this method, and reached the standard of 300 catties per mu during the Ming Dynasty in later generations, they did not dare to say, but there was still hope that the yield per mu would cross the 200 catties mark.
When the peasants were ready to go south to Guilin County, Fusu informed the ministers who had made a bet with him of the news.
At this time, those ministers led by Li Si and Meng Yi were also ready, in their opinion, planting land is nothing more than sowing seeds, harvesting these simple things, as for the harvest, it is completely up to the will of God, they think that there is no need to prepare so much trouble for agricultural matters, they don't even want to find people looking for good farmers, but because of Fusu's face, they have to deal with a few farmers from Xianyang City.
When they received the news that Fusu was ready, they rushed to Shanglinyuan with the farmers they had found.
The next day, a group of Ying Longjun escorted the peasants on their journey to Guilin County.
The day after these good farmers left Xianyang, the doctors who had gone to find herbs according to Fusu's request also returned to Xianyang one after another, but each of them carried a basket of herbs on their backs.
When these doctors poured the medicinal materials they had collected in front of Fusu, Fusu carefully searched for these herbs, and actually found a few herbs he knew, such as honeysuckle and bupleurum, but there was also a regret, that is, there were too few medicinal materials such as honeysuckle that could be used, which was completely insufficient to treat ten typhoid patients.
For this problem, Fusu quickly thought of a solution, he wanted to send some soldiers to take samples of honeysuckle and other medicinal materials to the township near Xianyang, mobilize the people to go up the mountain to collect medicines, and then spend money from the people to buy back these medicinal materials.
The doctors were excited for a while when they saw that there were medicinal materials designated by Fusu among the medicinal materials they collected.
Time flies, a month passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for Fusu and the ministers to agree on the implementation of the gambling contract.
On this day, the monarchs and ministers gathered in the Qilin Palace.
"Yu Gongzi, the minister has been ordered by the prince to find ten people with wind and cold, I don't know how to deal with it?" Meng Yi came out and said.
Hearing what Meng Yi said, the hundred officials looked at Fusu expectantly, and they were eager to know how Fusu would fulfill the bet with them, and how he would treat these patients suffering from wind and cold.
Fusu also ignored the curiosity of the ministers, but directly began to practice the bet with the ministers.
"Bring those cold patients in," Fusu instructed Meng Yi.
A moment later, an attendant walked into the Qilin Hall with ten people suffering from wind and cold.
Fusu looked at these cold patients, and saw that these people looked decrepit, runny noses, tears of tears, and of course drowsy people.
The disease of wind and cold, in fact, is the cold of later generations, and these are the most common symptoms of cold. It's just that due to the backward medical conditions of Great Qin, there was no effective medicine at that time, and there was no other way than to rely on one's own immunity to resist, so the fatality rate of wind and cold in the Qin Dynasty was not low.
After looking at these patients for a while, Fusu instructed the attendants beside him, "You go and invite those doctors here."
After a while, those doctors went to the court hall of the Qilin Hall under the leadership of the inner attendants, and saw the two doctors in the front carrying a huge jar (a container for water or rice in the Qin Dynasty), and they didn't know what was inside.
When these doctors came to the court, they saw at a glance those sick and cold patients.
"These are the people, I wonder if you can heal?"
After the doctors were settled, Fusu asked.
"Son, can heal."
The leading doctor glanced at the ministers and replied with some humility.
In fact, the doctor didn't have a bottom in his heart, but because of Fusu's advice, he had to answer as such. He didn't know what the effect of these medicinal soups that Fusu had made them boil, and he was not sure if these medicinal soups could cure these people who were cold. All this is only because Fusu told him in advance: "No matter what the condition of the person with wind and cold is, you just have to say yes." Then let each of these patients drink a medicinal soup in the soup."
After answering Fusu's question, the doctor went straight to the copper spoon, picked up a spoonful of medicinal soup from the pot, poured it into the soup, and then asked the guard to carry the soup to the wind-chilled patient.
Those wind-cold patients looked at the soup in the dark and autumn in confusion, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in this doctor's gourd. As for the ministers, they couldn't understand the use of these soups.
During the Qin Dynasty, medicine was still in its infancy, and in the cognition of these ministers, doctors and monks were almost the same, except for medical methods such as bandaging wounds, they had never seen any other treatment methods for doctors.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this medicinal soup is specially designed to treat the disease of wind and cold, and please drink the medicinal soup in the soup." The head doctor explained to the patient and the ministers.
"This soup can cure the cold?" Meng Yi looked at the doctor and asked in surprise.
"Your Excellency, this soup does have the effect of curing the disease of wind and cold."
Meng Yi looked at the doctor in front of him suspiciously, and then turned his inquiring gaze to Fusu.
Fusu saw the puzzled expression in Meng Yi's eyes, so he had to nod lightly at Meng Yi, proving that what the doctor said was true.
Seeing that Fusu nodded in agreement, Meng Yi didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to temporarily put away his curiosity and retreat to the train, looking expectantly at the medicinal soup in the hand of the waiter.
Until this moment, those patients with wind and cold no longer hesitated, and picked up the medicinal soup on the plate and brought it to their mouths.
When these medicinal soups were poured into the mouths of the patients, the expressions on the faces of these patients instantly became a little weird, and they all frowned.
Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of these patients, Meng Yi and the others were about to be confused again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although this medicinal soup is a little bitter, it has miraculous effects, please bear with me and drink it." The doctor had to explain again and persuade the patients to drink the soup.
These patients did not squirm, and drank the medicinal soup one after another with bitterness.
After these patients drank the medicinal soup, they left the court under the leadership of the chamberlain, leaving only Meng Yi and Li Si and the others looking at each other.
