Chapter 142: Plague (2)

Since ancient times, every time there is an epidemic, there have been many famous doctors.

For example, Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", Hua Tuo's treatment of malaria with Yin Chen and Artemisia annua, as well as the pox seeding technology of smallpox, which was available in the Northern Song Dynasty. It's just that the human pox inoculation in the Northern Song Dynasty was not perfect, and the cowpox inoculation was developed later, which can be regarded as the real overcoming of the smallpox problem.

But in ancient China, the plague was not without a large-scale outbreak.

During the first day of the Qing Dynasty, the plague was epidemic. At that time, Chinese medicine was still mainstream medicine, and many famous doctors came forward to compile various classic cures for plague.

Jiang Jiujiu clearly remembered these methods, and in the absence of Western medicine antibiotics, these methods became the key to the life-saving of the plague in Jiangnan at this time.

She immediately said: "Huangpu River, order someone to immediately prepare the following medicinal materials. ”

The plague is terrible, and the most terrible thing is that it spreads so quickly and so quickly.

If there is no suitable method, people will have no way to govern and prevent it, and the consequences will not be said to be ten rooms and nine empty, and there will be a dead city.

But in Jiang Jiujiu's eyes, he must face up to the horror of the plague, and as a doctor, he must not be afraid of the plague. She didn't even think about whether the epidemic was very dangerous, so she naturally saw it as her own business.

Compared to the panic of many others, her calmness and organization are especially infectious.

"The right medicine is indispensable, otherwise it will be impossible to cure the epidemic."

"Rhubarb, Pu Ni, Citrus aurantium, Chuanpu, rhino horn, antelope horn, Coptis chinensis, Skullcap, psyllium, Ze Yuan, Forsythia, Cow, Peach, Safflower, Comfrey, Purple Flower, Purple Back Geranium, ......"

Jiang Jiujiu wrote down a series of drug names, and wrote down the amount to be prepared for the first time.

And said: "Among them, there are valuable medicinal materials, such as rhino horn, etc., which can be replaced by buffalo horn, and tortoiseshell can also be used." ”

The tortoiseshell replaces rhino horn, which is recorded in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica".

Unfortunately, tortoiseshell is also very precious, although it can be used interchangeably with rhino horn, but it is meaningless in terms of parity.

Jiang Jiujiu also wrote other medicinal materials: "Bupleurum chinensis, Pueraria lobata, Shengdi, Angelica, red peony, licorice......"

And said: "Until the last resort, it is best to use less or even no medicines such as rhino horn, tortoiseshell, antelope horn, buffalo horn, etc. There are too many patients in the epidemic area, so it is necessary to save costs, otherwise it will be difficult to continue. ”

……

"Hmm!" Huang Puyi looked at the list in his hand and answered. After looking at it, he asked, "Removing rhino horn and other valuable things, can the medicine still be effective?" ”

Jiang Jiujiu took a sip of tea and said: "It is feasible to replace cooked drugs with crude drugs, replace animal medicinal materials with pure plant medicines, reduce pharmaceutical processes, and reduce drug costs. ”

"However, it is better to have these valuables on hand, just in case!" She still hopes that there will be some rhino horns, buffalo horns, antelope horns and other substances in the spare medicinal herbs, just in case.

"Okay, I'll arrange people to buy some early tomorrow morning, and it's too late, you can rest early!" Huang Puyi glanced at her and said.

"My third brother and second brother Feng, have they arrived?"

"When I arrived, I was resting in the house. I'll see you tomorrow. ”

"It's good to be there!"

……

Early the next morning, after Jiang Jiujiu hastily ate breakfast, he asked Feng Wu to gather the people in the city who were okay.

The people who were summoned looked at Feng Wu and the others standing on the high platform, and they didn't know what they were going to do, so everyone quietly talked about it below.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me! We are the emperor's platoon to help everyone, this is the second prince, Lord Rui, and Lord Qincha. Jiang Jiujiu looked at the crowd of people talking below, and pointed to a few people to introduce. When she spoke, she used a bit of internal force to make her words go farther, and everyone only felt that she seemed to be talking into their ears.

Everyone quickly calmed down and looked at Jiang Jiujiu and his party excitedly.

"Heavy rain, after the flood, this plague will follow, so do you know the main source of the plague?"

It's a group of people who don't have any medical knowledge, how can they know?

Jiang Jiujiu looked at the rats crawling on the ground, and everyone followed her gaze.

"Could it be these rats?" Everyone was surprised, aren't rats very common? Although I usually hate mice, I would never have thought that it would be because of mice.

Jiang Jiujiu nodded, "It's because of these rats." After the flood, rats were overflowing, which led to the plague. ”

Jiang Jiujiu looked at everyone and saw that everyone looked suspicious, and he was not annoyed. He continued: "The plague is not terrible, as long as everyone can do what I say and work together, the plague will be solved soon."

Everyone looked at Jiang Jiujiu with a look of disapproval of the plague, and secretly sighed that maybe this son really had a way, but this is a plague after all! Which does not fear when it comes to the plague!

Jiang Jiujiu smiled shallowly, "You don't believe me?" But think about it, if I have no way to solve the plague, how can I stand here at the risk of my life, and I dare not wait. ”
