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

Weizhou!

Artemisia Farm.

The twenty kilograms of seeds sent by Yelu Nanyin were planted on hundreds of acres, forming a large-scale planting.

Moreover, with the support of doctors and the careful care of three thousand soldiers, each plant of Artemisia sativa was carefully taken care of, with reasonable spacing, watering and fertilizing on time, and the growth of hundreds of acres of Artemisia was gratifying!

"The flower heads of Artemisia are used as medicine! They must be collected before they bloom and dried in the shade." A doctor solemnly ordered at the Artemisia farm.

Young people in the Song Dynasty were suffering from roundworms, and roundworms were a good anti-worm medicine. Naturally, doctors paid special attention to them. In addition to spending money and effort to hire soldiers to take care of roundworms, they also personally sent doctors to sit on the roundworm farms. Once picked, Artemisia buds require immediate medical treatment.

"But when collecting, don't fish all the time. You must keep some of the flower buds so that they can be used as seeds!" Fan Zhengping on the side warned.

Doctors are concerned about the yield of Artemisia annua, and Fan Zhengping, who is in charge of the Artemisia annua farm, must also take into account the collection of Artemisia annua seeds. This year, only one hundred acres of Artemisia annua will be planted. Next year, the size of the Artemisia annua farm will reach 3,000 acres. , in the third year, the scale of artemisia cultivation will completely occupy the entire farm.

Fan Zhengping couldn't help but feel high-spirited when he saw the prosperous Artemisia farm. This time, the Artemisia farm only required the doctor to provide the money and food needed for half a year. Not only did it provide the doctor with enough Artemisia, it also made a lot of money growing cotton.

What's more important is that the three thousand Xiang soldiers no longer need to be allocated food and grass by the court. He believes that this law will definitely become a good solution to the problem of Xiang soldiers in the Song Dynasty.

"According to His Majesty's decree, Fan Zhengping has made great contributions in establishing the Artemisia Farm. He is specially appointed as the Du Yuhou and leads 30,000 soldiers to Qingtang to form a construction corps!" Just when Fan Zhengping was full of ambitions, a transfer order from Kaifeng City shocked the entire city. Wormwood Farm.

"Du Yuhou!"

Fan Zhengping couldn't help but hold his breath. Although his previous position was Kaifeng Lieutenant, he only managed local security, while Du Yuhou held a serious military position, not to mention holding 30,000 troops. His status was naturally not A Kaifeng captain can compare.

"I accept your order!"

Fan Zhengping suppressed his excitement and said respectfully.

Just as Fan Zheng and Fan Chunren expected, the 400,000 soldiers were like 400,000 parasites, sucking blood from the Song Dynasty all the time.

However, in order to stabilize its rule, the Song Dynasty was ultimately helpless against these parasites. The Construction Corps was the artemisia that cured the Song Dynasty's stubborn diseases. Once the experiment was successful, the Song Dynasty would be eager to adopt it.

"Congratulations Master Fan!"

Upon hearing the good news, the entire Artemisia Farm came to congratulate him.

"It is because of the help of all brothers that Fan is what he is today." Fan Zhengping saluted solemnly to all the soldiers.

An older soldier was recommended by everyone and asked: "Master Fan, now I have to go to Qingtang. I don't know how the Artemisia Farm will operate in the future."

All the soldiers understood that for them to be able to live a stable life now, Artemisia was the top priority, and Fan Zhengping and Fan Zheng were cousins, so Fan Zhengping's role was naturally self-evident.

Fan Zhengping naturally understood the worries of the soldiers, and immediately assured: "The Artemisia Farm will continue to cooperate with doctors in the future and supply Artemisia to the doctors. The Wanmu Farm adopts the Paradigm Yizhuang model, and the Artemisia Farm is not owned by individuals. It is shared by three thousand soldiers, and each soldier can rent a certain amount of land to grow artemisia and support his family."

Artemisia is extremely delicate, and planting it requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Planting more than three acres of artemisia for one soldier is already the limit, and the Yizhuang model is enough to take care of every soldier, so that he no longer has any worries.

After receiving Fan Zhengping's assurance, all the soldiers could not help but smile. The price paid by the doctor for purchasing the artemisia was very high. Three acres of artemisia was enough for the soldiers to get a generous return.

"In addition, I will also apply to the imperial court to expand the scale of the Artemisia Farm, continue to reclaim wasteland, and grow food, which will be enough to make you self-sufficient!" Fan Zhengping continued.

With Artemisia income and food self-sufficiency, Artemisia Farm can continue to operate for a long time and become a template for reforming the army.

In this way, not only can the problem of side soldiers be solved, but the model of Fan Jia Yizhuang can also be widely promoted. For the Fan family, this is not only the glory of Fan Zhengping, but also the glory of the Fan family.

As Fan Zhengping immediately led 30,000 troops to Qingtang non-stop! In Kaifeng City, Fan Zheng also saw the famous Pagoda Candy!

"Is this the patent medicine of Artemisia?"

Su Dun picked up a pagoda candy and looked at it, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

Doctors' medicines are usually made from medicinal materials, or they are ointments, pills, or Chinese patent medicine granules! This was the first time he had seen the pagoda-like pill.

"It's actually still sweet!"

Su Dun picked up a pagoda candy and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up and he said.

Fan Zheng was not surprised by Su Dun's reckless behavior. After all, it was normal for doctors to test medicine on their own bodies.

Fan Zheng explained: "Because most of the people infected with roundworms are children, the roundworm has a slightly bitter taste, the pagoda shape and the addition of sucrose can neutralize the medicine and allow children to take the medicine actively."

"Pagoda candy works!"

Suddenly, Yang Jie heard an exclamation, attracting their attention.

Next to Yang Jie, I saw a child with a sallow complexion and white spots on his face, expelling a bunch of disgusting roundworms. There was half a roundworm hanging on the child's buttocks, twisting constantly.

Fan Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth. This situation will definitely become a childhood shadow for young children and will accompany them throughout their lives.

Yang Jie used a tool to pick out the roundworms behind the child, and then studied it without hesitation: "Baota sugar can't kill the roundworms, but it can paralyze the roundworms and allow them to be expelled from the body."

"If this is the case, then spread it to the world immediately!" Su Dun said impatiently. Roundworms are very harmful, and many children have suffered greatly from them.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "At present, the Song Dynasty only has a hundred acres of Artemisia spp., and the wormwood buds it produces are extremely limited. With the current production, it can only be given priority to children and critically ill patients!

"For children!"

Su Dun couldn't help but frown. You must know that roundworms are very harmful, and there is no good medicine to cure them. There are roundworm patients in almost all ages.

Fan Zheng explained: "The reason for this distinction is that pagoda sugar is the least toxic. However, since roundworms are insects, they are naturally afraid of poisons. Elderly patients can take black plum pills and some drugs for treatment. However, roundworms are The farm has continued to expand production, and within three years at most, the output of pagoda sugar will be enough to supply the entire Song Dynasty."

"That's all!" Su Dun said helplessly.

"Not only that, we also need to publicize hygiene knowledge, promote medical toilets and public toilets, and use soap to wash hands before meals to prevent large-scale outbreaks of ascariasis." Fan Zheng added.

The two nodded solemnly. Combining prevention and treatment has always been a medical prescription pursued by doctors. Sometimes prevention is even more effective than treatment.
