Edo Traveler

Vol 7 Chapter 70: Beriberi

Chungemon naturally didn't know that he had just helped his brother to send money, and gave himself away a domain of hundreds of thousands of stones. I heard that the final disposal of the shogunate was the same as before, except that in addition to the construction of the fortresses on Susaki and Tsukushima, it also assisted in the construction of the Futtsu Fortress on the Boso Peninsula.

Counting down, the Shimadzu family will have to spend at least four to five million yuan, but compared to being divided into two, or the three fathers and sons are ordered to live in seclusion, this condition is quite acceptable compared to the children of other Shimadzu branches. Slightly.

Shigetomi Tadashi, no, it should be Shimadzu Tadashi now. The gratitude to Tademon is beyond words. After being released by Suga Qiyu, he immediately found Chuemon Gate. Among other things, the other elders are 50,000 each, and Chuemon cannot be missing here.

For the rest, the great grace does not say any thanks, and the few money sent casually should be the right to improve life. In the future, when it is useful to teach Tadashi Shimazu, just speak up. We are the brothers of the iron fight, the kind that I eat in one bite, and I will give you half a bite.

Of course, the Chuyemon gang Shimadzu Shimazu did not want to repay him. It was purely to help the brothers and to delay Shimadzu's development. There is Shimazu Tadashi as the "maintainment chairman" in the Satsuma domain. As long as Satsuma can develop five years and ten years later, it will be the victory of Tademon.

What a great thing you love me!

The only thing that dissatisfied Shimazu Tadashi was that the shogunate required him to stay in Edo until the expiration of the account in April next year before returning. To put it bluntly, he was not allowed to take advantage of the panic of the feudal clan. He also said that the shogunate Tenken At the time, he went back to clean his father Shimazu Qixing and the remaining forces of his brother Shimadzu Qibin, quickly stabilizing the overall situation. The shogunate wanted to make the Satsuma domain messy, the more messy the better.

It’s impossible for the Shogunate of Love to let go of this matter. Shimadzu Tadao, who has made extraordinary achievements here, rushed back and forth, and worked tirelessly. He was only 16 years old and sent back to Satsuma, and became his in Satsuma. Temporary agent. Even if there is no way to start the purge immediately, at least he will promote all his cronies and seize Satsuma's military power and political power.

Of course the financial power is still in the hands of the mediator Guangxiang, this one supports Shimadzu Tadashi. He was just the elder of the Shimadzu clan, and was not forced to stay in Edo by the shogunate, so he was also ready to leave for his country to stabilize the domestic situation.

Satsuma has his own host, so I can barely feel relieved. Shimadzu Tadao Xie finished Tademon, and was ordered by the shogunate to go to Suzaki, reclaim the sea and build land, and build a fort. Thinking about a year after coming, he can only run back and forth in Susaki, Futtsu and other places.

It is necessary to pay for the shogunate and contribute to the shogunate. This is the current situation of the shogunate who is still suppressed by the shogunate. Anyway, the shogunate was both guarding against, using, and wooing and suppressing the foreigners. Various political methods went into battle, reluctantly keeping the broken ship of the shogunate running.

The mess at the Shimadzu family has finally been perfunctory, and Chuemon will continue to do other things. Three months have passed since Ogata Koan was given to eat doughnuts with coarse grains, especially doughnuts made with coarse noodles, to alleviate the condition of patients with beriberi.

There is no doubt that after consuming the fried fruit for a month, several patients with milder symptoms of beriberi recovered miraculously. He was full of energy, not weak at all, and even felt that he could go to the pier under the Nihonbashi to carry a big bag.

However, some patients with more serious symptoms have shown considerable improvement after supplementing vitamin B1 for three consecutive months. Patients who are already ill in bed can take a short walk with the support of their family members.

The curative effect of donuts completely covers all ages, and the disease conditions from mild to severe, all have a certain therapeutic effect, which is simply a miracle. Ogata Hongan, who has been studying art and medicine for almost 30 years, couldn't believe it. He thought Chuemon was a joke before, but now he has already admired the five-body cast.

Without him, to what extent are the Japanese obsessed with eating rice? During the Second World War, many navy soldiers knew that eating only white rice would cause beriberi, and the military order strictly stipulated that they must eat wheat and rice regularly, but they dared to pour the wheat directly in after they left the port. Nautical miles.

I just die, I die here, and I won't eat your other food!

I just want to eat white rice. When the sky collapses, I also want to eat white rice. The science is a fart. I want to eat white rice if I die. Please fill my mouth with white rice before I die.

It doesn’t speak any truth or science, it’s useless to say anything, and only eat white rice in violation of military orders. After eating white rice three times a day contentedly, and some sweets, it's almost the same and acceptable.

In a sense, when they encounter white rice, their personalities have been distorted. Even if Chungemon took the scientific report to them and broke it apart, it was useless to tell them to them. Between white rice and death, they just choose white rice.

Let's just fudge with donuts...

Ogata Koan found Chuemon~www.wuxiaspot.com~ as a doctor, he naturally wanted to know the reason for this. He knew exactly how the doughnuts were made and what was added, and there were absolutely no medicinal materials or special ingredients added. Just knead the dough, fry it in the pan, and then coat it with sugar.

Find an apprentice at a fruit shop, you can make hundreds of them a day, with zero difficulty, Ogata Koan can do it himself. He even used the donuts he made and the donuts that Chuemon gave him as a control group, and found that the effect was exactly the same, and there was basically no difference.

Chuemon only had a clever plan, but the reason was not mentioned. He also told him that, in fact, it is okay to cook Jinping sweet potatoes directly, and eat a bowl of sweet potatoes after a meal for three consecutive months. Anyway, sweet potatoes, which are sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes or yam, are also rich in vitamin B1. Eat them every day for three months. They will definitely have a certain effect.

But this is not the point. Chuemon now needs the already convinced Ogata Hongan to recommend this treatment to Tokugawa Kaikei when he vaccinated the two little princesses of Tokugawa Kaikei's vaccinia.

He is already a well-known doctor in the world, and there are countless living doctors. Whatever he said, Tokugawa Kayuki would believe him a lot. By that time, including these two little princesses, as well as young children such as Kiyomizu Chiyo, were planted with cowpox and avoided beriberi, and can always avoid most of the deadly injuries nowadays.
