Chapter 236: What kind of resistance did Hua Tuo take
In the past winter, Zhuge Jin arranged farming tasks for the officials of Guangling and Donghai counties were actually very fulfilling.
This time he came to Guangling, according to the original plan, Zhuge Jin first inspected how Guangling County was doing in taking advantage of the winter farming slack to build new polders and dredging Sheyangze.
Then I had to ask Mi Zhu whether the development of the trade route to the Liaodong Peninsula via Donglai was going well, and whether Tai Shici helped Mi Zhu to take charge of the escort and the port construction work along the way to see if he was left behind.
Finally, we have to understand the latest celadon and other luxury goods produced in Yuzhang, how well the sales development on the new route is doing, and whether we can buy back some more Liaodong war horses just by relying on these profitable goods.
But plans don't always keep up with the changes. After arriving in Guangling in person, he heard that Chen Deng was still worried about forcibly staying in Huatuo, and Zhuge Jin did not hesitate to adjust his priorities.
Hua Tuo will be done first, and the rest of the work can be interspersed with inspections and reports in the process.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhuge Jin had a preliminary chat with Chen Deng and Mi Zhu and synchronized the information, and then went to rest first.
Then he instructed his subordinates to make some preparations, such as finding the manuscript of Ah Liang's "Qu Tiller Theory", and then preparing a copy of each of the experimental samples that should be collected, and then getting some experimental equipment.
While planning, Zhuge Jin made up in his brain what are the gaps between the experiments of A few months ago and Ah Liang's experiments and the microbial experiments of the French medical scientist Pasteur more than 1,600 years later.
What other experiments can be done but have not yet been done with today's instrument conditions? After sorting it out, it can be used as bait to persuade Hua Tuo.
After having a plan in mind, Zhuge Jin called a few technicians who accompanied him to investigate-
Mainly some craftsmen who were responsible for helping Zhuge Jin build a new refractory kiln and fire celadon when he was in Yuzhang County. Zhuge Jin's trip was originally to inspect the results of celadon trade, and he brought a few craftsmen with him, so that when there was any doubt about the sales of Mi Zhu, it was convenient for technical support, which was very reasonable.
It's just that I didn't expect that for the sake of Hua Tuo, these craftsmen need to return to their old business, set up another kiln here in Guangling, and do some fine-tuning, and make some latest experimental equipment.
……
The next morning, Zhuge Jin, who hastily finished the preparations, sent someone to summon Hua Tuo.
Hearing that General Fubo was going to summon him, Hua Tuo was naturally cautious.
Even Hua Tuo, an outsider, knows that under the curtain of the Che Cavalry General, the status of the county guards is different, and General Fubo is obviously the highest status among them.
After Hua Tuo brought it, Zhuge Jin went down to the atrium to greet him, Hua Tuo saw this, and immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Shanye Sanren, meet General Fubo." ”
Zhuge Jin's expression was kind: "Sir, you don't have to be polite, I heard that Brother Yuanlong has been extremely sick, and you can't treat it, it's really hard." I had to work tirelessly in Guangling for several months. By the way, who are these two? ”
After Zhuge Jin comforted Hua Tuo, he noticed that he was followed by two men in their thirties, so he also asked politely.
Hua Tuo immediately introduced: "These two are the apprentices Wu Pu and Fan A, who have obtained my pulse diagnosis and acupuncture respectively, but the rest of the techniques are still incomplete, so they have not yet been released." ”
When Zhuge Jin heard this, he also nodded and smiled at the two, and the two were flattered, and hurriedly bowed down and were helped up by Zhuge Jin.
Historically, Wu Pu later helped Hua Tuo inherit the Five Bird Opera, while Fan A inherited Hua Tuo's acupuncture and moxibustion skills, and there were also some prescriptions for repelling insects and nourishing the five internal organs, "Qi Ye Qing Sticky Powder".
Zhuge Jin let the three of them sit inside, and ordered the maid to serve the celadon cup of Lushan cloud tea, Hua Tuo took a sip, praised it again and again, and then said:
"General, although Chen Fujun's illness is difficult to cure in an emergency, as long as the old man leaves a prescription and takes it as scheduled thereafter, he will be fine. The apprentice Wu Pu was a native of Guangling, Fan A was a native of Pengcheng, and now Pengcheng County was occupied by Cao Cao, and he also moved to Xiapi and the East China Sea.
If the general is not at ease, he can leave the apprentice alone and stay in Guangling for diagnosis and treatment until Chen Fujun is completely cured. If there is a recurrence during the period, it can also be checked in time. The old man will definitely give all the insect repellent prescriptions to the apprentices, and there will be no reservations. ”
Zhuge Jinyun said lightly: "Is Mr. in a hurry to travel around?" Why can't I stay in Guangling for a longer time, I also happen to have some medical skills, so I can ask Mr. for advice and discussion. ”
When Hua Tuo heard this, his eyes suddenly became incredulous. He knew that Zhuge Jin's status was much more noble than him, but he had lived to be in his fifties, and he really hadn't seen anyone who wanted to learn medical skills from him.
Hua Tuo couldn't help but be stunned for a while, but there was no response. He also wanted to wait for Zhuge Jin to change his words and confirm whether the other party had said the wrong thing.
Seeing that Zhuge Jin was just smiling calmly, Hua Tuo finally couldn't hold his breath anymore and took the initiative to confirm: "What the general said is ...... Studying medicine? ”
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zhuge Jin stopped selling Guanzi, took out a few scrolls from his sleeve, and motioned to the maidservant to give them to Hua Tuo.
Although the technique is derived and summarized from the old noodles of wheat flour and the qu tillers of winemaking, it is also quite inspiring for the decay of all things and the infection of the times. Sir may wish to take a look, maybe you can confirm some experience. ”
Hua Tuo looked at the letter suspiciously, he also knew the name of the ingenuity of the Zhuge brothers, and there were always rumors of "immortal arts", and he was worshiped by the foolish Shanyue tribes of Danyang and Yuzhang.

Originally, Hua Tuo felt that those so-called "immortal arts" should only be powerful techniques, but the Shanyue barbarians had no knowledge, so they were falsely rumored to be immortal arts.
But after reading the text of "Qu Tiller" for hundreds of words, Hua Tuo's expression became solemn and decided to retract his original judgment.
How can anyone in the world summarize the principles of disease infection and contagion in this way? Infection and decay may be due to the fact that some people are invisible, and the microscopic insects are multiplying and cannot be contained?
Plague diseases are also caused by a kind of microscopic microscopic bacteria that can cause plague with the naked eye, which spreads and reproduces from person to person through different channels?
Plagues such as lung diseases may be spread by microscopic worms in the venomous boils that are called? The plague of the stomach and intestines is spread by drowning in polluted water? The plague of the heart is spread by mosquito bites and microscopic worms?
Hua Tuo only felt that he had opened the door to a new world, and was shocked for a long time and was silent.
After being stunned for a long, long time, Hua Tuo sighed: "In the "Qu Tiller Theory", the statement about the spread of microworms is similar to some of the views that the old man heard when he met Nanyang Zhang Ji a few years ago, but Zhang Xiandi did not put forward the theory of 'microworms'.
As for the wound carrion, cold and heat and other symptoms are also related to microworms, it is unheard of. In this case, only boiled cheese is taken as an example. But how can the acid rot of cheese be compared with the rot of human wounds? ”
Hua Tuo just read a rough idea, and didn't have time to read it for the time being, so he gave his own judgment.
He believed that Zhuge Liang's experiment should be correct, but Zhuge Liang's experimental objects were only dough, yogurt, wine, and vinegar, how could these things be compared to flesh and blood? This association is too fanciful.
"Well said! Mr.'s inference on medical skills is really rigorous, and his brother's previous experiments are indeed not for medical skills, so there are still flaws in this aspect. Since he saw the problem, why not stay and use the equipment we can provide to complete the experiments he wants to do?
On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it. Wouldn't it be a great merit if the gentleman could explore the root cause of the decay of the wound and the principle of the plague contagion? ”
Zhuge Jin opened his mouth just right to persuade and help Hua Tuo draw this cake more clearly, so that he could better see his life goals.
Hua Tuo finally fell into deep thought, and he had to admit that the temptation was too great.
And Zhuge Jin didn't forget to remind some technical details: "Actually, according to the doubts that Mr. just mentioned, I thought of an indirect proof method - to prove whether the flesh and blood will rot under the erosion of microworms, we can completely use the cattle, sheep and porpoise meat to blanch and wash it, and then put it in a bottle with a thin neck and light to boil, and leave it for a while to see if it will be sour and rotten."
In contrast, we can also cook a bottle of meat in an ordinary translucent container with no thin neck, and then leave it open in a seemingly clean and ventilated place for a while to observe the meat and soup rotting.
The original experiment of Shedi was just to prove that 'adding a new koji tiller to the boiling thing, and the later koji tiller can occupy the absolute upper hand', and now this control experiment can also prove that 'once the original microworms in the boiling thing are killed, no longer add the koji tiller, and the microworms will not regenerate naturally', so it is very similar to the principle of wound decay. ”
There is no doubt that what Zhuge Jin casually mentioned was the "Pasteur gooseneck flask experiment" that was turned over in junior high school biology textbooks in later generations. This is also one of the few Pasteur experiments that Zhuge Liang could not do because of insufficient experimental conditions.
After all, Zhuge Liang can't burn a gooseneck flask, and there is no glass in this era.
If you use celadon for this kind of experiment, the celadon is opaque, and it is impossible to observe the changes in the meat and soup inside. If you open the lid and look at it, the experiment will be in vain, because the bacteria in the air will fall into it and interfere with the results.
Zhuge Jin is actually not sure to burn transparent and homogeneous glass. But he had a celadon workshop, and he also understood the application of refractory bricks and new blast technology, which could increase the temperature of the kiln, and it was still possible to make translucent, brown or variegated glass, or "translucent glass".
It is nothing more than calcining the sand at a high temperature, and then trying to figure out various additives. When modern glass is fired, many formulas are added to remove color and impurities, even if there are no additives, it is still possible to burn ugly glass, and the ancients can.
This kind of glass may not be of much significance for making luxury goods and selling them for money, but it is not without help to improve the conditions for scientific experiments and make transparent utensils that are easy to observe.
Since the conditions have been set to this point, by the way, this small scientific and technological progress has been easily ordered.
If you really can't do it, you can even use the crystals of the natural crystal minerals of Donghai County, find some crystals with low purity and poor crystallization effect, and re-blow and set them with a fierce fire to form a thin-neck flask.
Just glass is amorphous, about 800 degrees can be softened and shaped, and quartz glass has to be 1,000 degrees Celsius. Natural crystals are crystals with a fixed melting point, which is not easy to soften in advance, and it will be much more difficult to melt.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you pick a crystal mine with low purity and relatively inobvious crystal properties.
If it is really not soft, then add lead calcination, and the lead glass will be red and soft after five or six hundred degrees. The addition of lead impurities can greatly reduce the melting point of glass and crystal. This bit of chemistry knowledge, Zhuge Jin still knew it in his previous life as a gold medal lecturer in high school science.
Hua Tuo was really shocked by Zhuge Jin's whimsical thoughts: "But...... How should this experiment be carried out by the general? Is there such an instrument in the world? ”
Zhuge Jin smiled indifferently: "As long as Mr. is willing to stay in Guangling and slowly guide the allocation, I will send people to make these utensils." Just asked Mr. to stay for a few more months, and said to the outside world that Chen Fujun was seriously ill and had to leave temporarily. ”
Hua Tuo frowned, he was already willing to stay for a few more months, but if he wanted him to preach that Chen Deng was seriously ill and difficult to recover as an excuse, wouldn't that smash his medical signboard? He obviously cured Chen Deng's symptoms at once, but he couldn't cure them for the time being.
It's a pity that when he thought of the experimental conditions and research support prescribed by Zhuge Jin, Hua Tuo still couldn't hold back: "In this case, the old man will live in Guangling and see what the general can do." ”
