One, two, six, taste the herbs
Shennong worked hard to promote agricultural planting in the human race, and in the future, the planting will no longer be planted alone, and some plants often collected by the human race will also be used for planting, among which several are called the most important planting crops, namely hemp, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean. These five main crops are known as 'grains'. The rest of the crops grown are called 'coarse grains'.
Although Shennong vigorously promoted agricultural planting, which greatly alleviated the current situation of food shortage for the human race, it still failed to completely solve the problem of food shortage.
This is mainly because the level of agriculture at this time is too low, and people do not know what crops to plant and when, and they just take it for granted, and there is no such thing as management.
As a result, some crops are not planted at the right time, they cannot grow at all, and even if they do, they cannot mature, and they waste their efforts but do not harvest.
Some crops are planted at the right time, but they are not managed at all, and the weeds grow better than the planted crops, so that the planted crops are too small.
It is precisely because of these problems that although the food shortage of the human race has been greatly alleviated, it has not been completely solved, which urgently requires further agricultural technology.
As the leader of the human race, Yandi Shennong, walked through the various tribes of the human race, looked at the existing problems, felt anxious, and thought about the solution to the problem all night.
In his thoughts, he once again remembered what Xundaozi said: "If you have doubts, you can think more about what you have seen in the past ten years!"
In his mind, he gradually recalled the four seasons that Xundaozi led him to observe, the tide rose and fell, the plants and trees flourished and withered, and the moon was full and lacking.
Shennong's mind kept recalling the various things he had observed under the guidance of Xundaozi for more than ten years, and at this time, the most obvious in his mind were the various phenomena related to the natural season, although Shennong didn't know that this was something about the season, but he vaguely felt that as long as he thought about what came to his mind, he would definitely make a big step forward in the agricultural planting he promoted and further solve the problem of food shortage for the human race.
After several years, Shennong finally roughly determined the concepts of 'year', 'month', and 'day', and roughly divided the year into four seasons: 'spring', 'summer', 'autumn', and 'winter', and December, about 30 days per month.
Under the careful observation of these years, I roughly figured out the growth law of the planted crops, and found out the simple planting rules of spring planting, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage.
The Divine Lunar Calendar has developed a simple calendar for several years to guide agricultural production.
With this guidance, Terran agriculture has developed greatly, and some simple agricultural management methods have gradually developed in production. Considerable progress has been made in grain production, and the problem of food shortage has been truly and gradually solved. And because of the use of the calendar, some solar terms have gradually developed. And the emergence of these solar terms, people often hold some sacrificial activities when these solar terms come, and then there are some special festivals to sacrifice, pray, and celebrate.
The human race once again ushered in a prosperous era of great development, and the name of Shennong was praised by people.
The problem of Terran food has been solved, but another major dilemma still plagues the development of Terran. That's the 'disease'.
After Shennong saw that his clan was injured, he had to hold on, and when he was sick, he could only drag it, and there was nothing he could do. Many died in agony like this.
Whether the elderly, children, or young people, as long as they are injured or sick, what awaits them is usually death, and even a small illness will cause the loss of life. There are too few people who can really live to old age without disasters and pain.
Faced with this predicament, Shennong, who was seeking solutions in many ways, finally remembered the parting sentence of Xundaozi again: "If you have doubts, you can think more about what you have seen in the past ten years!"
Shennong tried his best to recall what he had seen in those years, and then tried his best to recall it, and Shennong remembered that Xundaozi had led him many times to watch the beasts fight, and how the beasts after the battle looked for some inconspicuous flowers and plants to swallow or crush and smear their wounds.
Shennong thought back to this scene, and his heart seemed to brighten, and he seemed to have found a way to solve the plight of the human race.
Shennong rushed into the mountains to find the flowers and plants that he had seen in his memory that were swallowed by wild beasts and smeared with wounds!
After a difficult trek in the mountains, he really found some flowers and plants that he had seen back then, and Shennong carefully dug them back, like a baby.
When Shennong returned to the tribe, he saw some of the tribesmen who had gone out to hunt come back, and two of them were wounded and carried back by their companions, each with a gloomy expression and a sad face. The injured two were even more lifeless and desperate.
When Shennong saw it, an unspeakable pain rose in his heart, and he walked quickly to everyone, lowered his head and looked at the clansmen who were carried by his companions, and saw that the wounds on the two of them were torn by wild beasts, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and the desperate expressions of the two made Shennong even more heartbroken.
After looking at it for a while, Shennong picked out a few of the flowers and plants brought back from the mountains according to the grass used by the injured beast in his memory to smear his wounds, held them in his hand, hesitated for a while, and then as if he had made up his mind, he smashed the flowers and plants and applied them to the wounds of the two. The clansmen next to him silently watched Shennong drumming, but there was a puzzled look in their eyes.
After some trouble, Shennong asked the clansmen to send the two injured clansmen back, and instructed Haosheng to take care of them, while he returned to his house with a heavy heart. For a long time, his eyes showed a resolute color, put aside the pain, and carefully separated the flowers and plants he brought back, imagining that those were swallowed by the beasts he saw in his memory, and those were smeared.
Two days later, people were pleasantly surprised to find that the two injured people did not deteriorate from their injuries, but seemed to be much more energetic.
The people who took care of them happily ran to tell Shennong, and Shennong was also pleasantly surprised to visit the two injured tribesmen, and saw that there were indeed signs of improvement, and their hearts were more confident in using all kinds of flowers and plants to heal the injuries and diseases.
Soon, the two tribesmen miraculously recovered, and the whole tribe rejoiced. People worship Shennong as a god.
Soon someone in the clan had abdominal pain and went to look for Shennong, who thought that the beast in his memory had swallowed that kind of flower and herb, and Shennong found the grass and let the clansmen with abdominal pain eat it. But the next day, the man died.
Shennong was full of remorse, feeling that he had killed his people.
After that, some tribesmen were sick, but Shennong did not dare to give the tribesmen those flowers and plants, but some sick tribesmen could not stand the torture of the disease, and begged Shennong to take those flowers and plants with them.
At the request of these tribesmen, Shennong had to give them the flowers and plants he found, and some of the sick tribesmen who took the flowers and plants recovered again, while others died.
Shennong was extremely distressed, this flower and plant can indeed cure the diseases of the clan, but it is troublesome to use it specifically, in the face of all kinds of diseases of the clan, he does not know how to use these flowers and plants, and if he uses the right disease, the disease will be cured; if he is wrong, a life will come to an end.
Every time he faced the suffering of his people, Shennong didn't know whether to give him or her the grass he or she found. Every time I give it ruthlessly, I am suffering endlessly in my heart.
Shennong recalled the bits and pieces with Xundaozi again and again, hoping to find a solution, but he never found any clues to solve the problem.
Shennong, who had no choice, saw the clansmen struggling in pain, the torment and pain in his heart was really indescribable, looking at the clansmen who had not been effectively treated in the pain, and the pain was dead, Shennong secretly determined to find the correct way to take the healing flowers and herbs.
On this day, Shennong sat on a stone pier with a solemn face, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and some flowers and plants he was looking for were placed on a stone table in front of him.
In the middle of the sound, I saw Shennong pick up a grass, as if he had made a lot of determination, pinched off the grass, gently put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and the light in his eyes changed.
Finally, Shennong chewed and swallowed a whole piece of grass, sat on the stone pier, closed his eyes, and seemed to feel the changes of the grass he ate in his stomach.
In this way, Shennong devoured all kinds of flowers and plants he found, carefully experiencing the changes in his body and the feelings of his body after eating those flowers and plants.
Sometimes the grass he eats makes him feel like he is burned, sometimes the grass he eats makes him feel like he has fallen into an ice cave, sometimes the grass he eats makes him feel like a knife, and sometimes it makes him diarrhea??????
Fortunately, Shennong was physically strong, and the flowers and plants he found at this time were not highly poisonous, so all kinds of pain were also suffered, and he wrote down the surnames of these flowers and plants, and understood the physical changes they could cause.
Shennong tasted herbs for the first time, and although he came over with a strong body, he was still weak for a long time before he recovered.
The recovered Shennong seemed to use the surnames of the flowers and plants he mastered to give targeted doses to the sick clansmen in the clan, and the effect was much better. But there are still many diseases that there is no way to do, and there are no flowers and plants that I find that can be targeted for those diseases, and the few flowers and plants I have mastered can only work on very few diseases.
Shennong felt that he still needed to master more kinds of flowers and plants in order to truly solve the pain of the human race, but the beasts he had seen swallowed and used the plants were only in front of him, how could he master more plant surnames and better treat the diseases and injuries of the people?
Shennong thought about it, there was no other way, only to taste the same in person, in order to really figure it out, in order to find the right plants for the treatment of the people.
Shennong thought clearly, picked up a stick, and resolutely stepped into the ten thousand mountains, to taste all kinds of flowers and plants in person, and find out the plants that can cure diseases and save people.
Here Shennong stepped into the Ten Thousand Mountains and was meditating in the mountains to find the Dao Seeker, who was meditating in the mountains, opened his eyes and said to himself: "The 'Earth Emperor' is about to return to his position, but I have to save him and help him!"
Immediately, a message came from the seeker.
