Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Fan Fuzhong!

Everyone looked at the bristle toothbrush in Fan Zheng's hand with disgust and shook their heads in fear.

"You can even swallow pig hair!"

Fan's mother, Ma, looked at her son with a look of disgust. Since her son studied medicine, one evil prescription after another, and now she didn't know where to come up with the evil prescription. She even made a toothbrush out of pig's bristles, claiming that it was far better than their usual methods of green salt and willow branches.

Even Li Qingzhao gave Fan Zheng a warning look. If he dared to use a bristle toothbrush, he would not touch her at night.

Fan Zheng asked rhetorically: "It is common for humans to use animal fur. My father's wolf hair brush, my mother's feather duster, and Qingzhao's white fox fur are not all animal fur. Why can't it work with my bristle toothbrush!"

"How can it be the same?" Fan Chunli argued.

The three of them suddenly felt guilty. This was true. However, their animal furs were only for external use, while Fan Zheng's bristle toothbrush was for entrance. Coupled with the prejudice against pigs among the people, they were naturally particularly concerned.

Fan Zheng retorted: "Why is it different? When doctors were studying Hua Tuo's secret knowledge, they found that catgut is more easily absorbed by the human body than mulberry string. Now it has replaced mulberry string on a large scale. That is not the entrance, but It is directly absorbed by the human body, and for the same reason, bristle toothbrushes are better than green salt and willow branches, and will definitely become popular in the world in the future."

"Gut is a life-saving medicine, but it cannot be compared with a pig-bristle toothbrush." ​​Li Qingzhao still couldn't accept brushing his teeth with pig bristles and was unwilling to give up the green salt and willow branches in his hands.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "The pig bristles in my husband's hands are high-temperature sterilized and cleaned by the Ministry of Medical Industry, and then made into a toothbrush. It is moderately soft and hard, the best thing for cleaning teeth, and the oral cavity is also made according to medical principles. Branch, in the future personal care items such as toothbrushes and soaps will also be under the supervision of doctors, and there will be no uncleanness at all."

Under Fan Zheng's future plans, doctors may not directly produce personal care products. However, all personal care products will be under the supervision of doctors and will be inspected regularly to ensure hygiene.

At the moment, Fan Zheng mixed together pre-ground limestone, alkali (also known as soda in later generations!), and various weird things that the three of them didn't recognize at all, to make the most primitive toothpaste.

After doing all this, Fan Zheng couldn't help but feel very moved. He had never been used to the Song Dynasty's method of brushing teeth with green salt, and now he finally got what he wanted.

Fan Zhengzhong dipped some toothpaste on a bristle toothbrush and demonstrated brushing his teeth to the whole family himself.

soon! As Fan Zheng brushed his teeth skillfully, a lot of foam soon appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Master!"

Li Qingzhao was shocked when he saw this and stepped forward quickly.

No wonder she was supercilious, Fan Zheng's appearance was very similar to that of a woman who was said to drink pesticides.

Fan Chunli and Ma were also frightened and foaming at the mouth. Isn't this a symptom of poisoning?

"It doesn't matter!"

Fan Zhengweng said, while waving his hands to stop their movements.

Now he raised the glass of water, rinsed away the foam in his mouth, and grinned, showing his white teeth.

Everyone was immediately dubious. If Fan Zheng hadn't been a doctor himself, everyone would have been prepared to forcefully send him to the hospital.

"Bubbles are for better cleaning of teeth!"

Fan Zheng explained the principles of toothpaste one by one, and everyone felt relieved.

After Fan Zheng's personal experiment, Fan's father slowly tried to brush his teeth with toothpaste. At first, he was a little uncomfortable, but as he gradually got used to it, he suddenly felt that it was much better than ordinary willow green salt.

"This is a great thing, it's convenient and fast." Fan Chunli praised it after using it.

Although I felt a little uncomfortable when I first used toothpaste, brushing my teeth with green salt was also uncomfortable. A small amount of salt is more delicious, but using salt directly to clean teeth is very salty in the mouth, and willow branches are not convenient to use without a brush.

Fan Zheng proudly said: "This product is only made of limestone and alkali and some drugs are added. Its cost is much lower than that of green salt, and the effect of oral cleaning is better. With this advantage, it will be popularized all over the world in the future."

In later generations, with the development of salt manufacturing technology, the cost of salt dropped significantly. In the Song Dynasty, green salt, which can be used to clean teeth, was a high-quality salt. It was expensive and ordinary people could not afford it. If toothpaste was promoted , will definitely save more people from dental caries.

When Li Qingzhao and Ma saw the father and son praising the toothpaste, they were immediately dubious.

Fan Zheng threatened: "There is a saying among doctors that toothache is not a disease, the pain can kill people! Now that you dislike bristle toothbrushes and toothpaste, you will regret it in the future."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and because of their trust in Fan Zheng, they had no choice but to put down the willow branches and green salt, and obediently started using the toothbrush and toothpaste.

The family finished washing and felt refreshed. Fan Chunli called Fan Zheng into the study and ordered: "In the recent period, doctors need to be careful!"

"Why did father say this?" Fan Zheng asked in confusion.

Fan Chunli sighed: "You don't know something. In recent times, there have been frequent cases of civilian women dying after drinking pesticides. Kaifeng Prefecture alone has received many cases. Many censors have written to the court, and the court has criticized them. Take it very seriously!”

"So among the people, there are women who drank medicine and died, and both the government and the public think it is the responsibility of the doctors and pesticides? Have there never been people among the people who threw themselves into wells and hanged themselves before?" Fan Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, every year in the Song Dynasty, people committed suicide due to various things. The difference is that the tools used are different!

Fan Chunli couldn't help but sighed: "Although pesticides are medicines, they are also poisons. Moreover, pesticides sold by doctors were spread throughout the Song Dynasty. Nowadays, many women among the people have died due to pesticides, and doctors cannot escape responsibility."

Originally, there were very few poisoning incidents among the people. The widespread circulation of pesticides made poisoning the first choice for people to commit suicide. As the number of cases increased, doctors soon became the target of public criticism.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that the problems of later generations would appear in advance in the Song Dynasty. There was even one of the most efficient pesticides. Because there was no cure for people who drank it, it was eventually discontinued. Could it be that doctors' Pesticides will also follow the same path.

Inside the Chui Gong Hall!

"I would like to report to the officials that the distribution of pesticides has led to rampant poisoning among the people in the Song Dynasty. There have been many deaths caused by drinking pesticides! Please let the officials take a closer look." Zhang Dun solemnly said.

Lu Dafang also continued: "However, there have been many poisoning cases in the Ministry of Justice recently, and pesticides are often used for poisoning, resulting in continuous tragedies among the people."

The old and new parties unanimously reported this matter and used the pesticide poisoning incident to attack doctors.

In recent times, doctors have been at the peak of their power, and the North Korean Traditional Chinese Medicine Party has been on the rise. Now that the two parties have seized on the doctors, they will naturally attack them immediately.

Su Song defended: "To inform the officials, pesticides are originally used to poison farmland pests and weeds. Their original intention is to benefit the people, and they have no intention of harming them."

Yang Wei sneered and said: "Before the advent of pesticides, poisoning cases were rare in the Song Dynasty. But now that pesticides are prevalent, people are dying from pesticides everywhere. Doctors cannot escape the blame."

Before that, poisons were rare things in the Song Dynasty. Crane crown red and poisonous wine were only available to the rich and nobles. However, pesticides were prevalent. Poisons were everywhere throughout the Song Dynasty. There was no way to detect the poisoning and poisoning of the people. , poisoning cases increased significantly.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown. There was a sharp increase in poisoning cases among the people. As an emperor, he was naturally very distressed.
