Our island owner is always playing dead

After Ye Limo calmed down a little, the housekeeper asked, "Your Majesty, is this tree what you call cinchona?"

Ye Limo nodded.

"It does look very ordinary. If His Majesty hadn't pointed it out, we might not be able to recognize it. This is the magic medicine that can cure cold and fever."

The cinchona tree is really ugly in the tropical rainforest. Along the way, they have seen many exotic flowers and plants, some dangerous and some mild. It is really difficult for them to appreciate the tree full of small white flowers. Have a look.

Ye Limo hummed, and told the guards: "Go around and see how many trees like this are around here."

The guards left a few guarding Ye Limo's side, and the others scattered to see how many cinchonas were nearby.

The steward asked curiously: "Where can this kind of tree be used as medicine? Is it the flowers or the leaves?"

Ye Limo shook his head and said, "No, it's the bark and roots. It doesn't need to be processed. It just needs to be boiled in water to exert its medicinal properties. But if it can be made into medicinal materials, the medicinal effect will be even better."

The steward looked at the tree and said, "In that case, one tree can't heal many people."

If it is leaves or flower seeds, a tree can still grow and provide medicinal materials.

Ye Limo sighed, and said, "Yes, so the more such trees the better, of course, it is very lucky to be able to find such a tree."

The land and sea plates of this world are completely different, so the distribution of plants is very different from the distribution of animals. There are even many species that did not exist before, and many species that existed before.The natural environment of sea and land distribution is indeed the basic factor that determines the distribution and diversity of organisms.

After waiting for a while, the guards who went to search came back one after another. According to their descriptions, there was a patch of cinchona trees here, some big and some small, some as short as shrubs, some as tall as trees, and others. The plants are mixed and growing together, and there are quite a few of them.

Knowing such a situation, Ye Limo became happy. With so many cinchona trees, it means that there are enough medicinal materials available for use, which is really good news!

Order the guards to rest where they are, and take out the already unremarkable dry food to replenish their strength.These dry rations are what they collected on the road.Because of his good mood, Ye Limo's appetite improved a lot.

After eating, I made some repairs, took some cinchona trunks and roots, and set foot on the return journey again.

There are enough marks along the way, so as not to find the way back here.

There was no need to search for medicinal materials on the return journey, and the speed was faster. It took about five days to finally return to the station.The whole group was very embarrassed, and even the butler, who had always shown his meticulous image to others, became very embarrassed.

Let the guards send the cinchona to the patient's station first, and let Gogol boil water for the patients to drink. Ye Limo and the housekeeper returned to the residence, cleaned up, and changed into clean clothes before daring to Come out and meet people.

Ignoring his exhaustion all the way, Ye Limo went directly to the patient's station, which can be said to be a simple hospital, with a shed to keep out the rain on the top, and curtains made of grass and trees around it, and the patients Lying on the mat woven of weeds, although it is often ventilated, there is still a strange smell here.

The girls who nursed the patients were constantly shuttling around. Their faces were covered with cloths, some were feeding the patients, some were comforting the patients who were suffering from illness, and some were wiping the sweat of the patients. Everything was in order.

Ye Limo is very satisfied, it is indeed not wrong to choose Gogol.

Gogol is brewing medicinal materials. Although the method is very simple, he is not at ease entrusting others to do it. This is the medicinal material that the king took half a month to find, and it is for everyone to save lives. He is not at ease entrusting it to others. .

Ye Limo didn't bother him either, and asked someone about the current situation.

After the medicinal materials were ready, the nursing girls filled bowl after bowl with coconut bowls and gave them to the patients.For these patients, even though this is the medicinal material that the king spent a lot of effort to find, it is finally a matter of luck. After all, the world has never heard of such a magic medicine. , that is also the will of heaven, and the king cannot disobey it.

After the patients finished drinking the medicine, Gogol checked the conditions of the patients before noticing Ye Limo's arrival.

Gogol hurried over to see Ye Limo, took off the cloth covering his mouth, saluted Ye Limo, and said, "Your Majesty! I didn't expect you to come here!"

Many people are reluctant to come to this place where the patients are staying, for fear of contracting the same disease, although Gogol explained that the disease does not spread directly.

Ye Limo sat on the chair and said: "It's okay, taking care of patients is very important. I took a look at your work and it is very good. You have lived up to my expectations, Gogol."

Gogol blushed and looked very shy, and said, "It's a great honor to be recognized and praised by Your Majesty. I have been trying my best to do my best." His bright eyes showed that he was very happy.

Ye Limo felt that this child looked more innocent than himself, but he really didn't expect that it was the veterans of the guards who came out of it.

"Tell me about the condition of the patients during my absence!"

Gogol became serious, and told Ye Limo about the situation in the past half month: "Your Majesty, I have been paying great attention to hygiene and safety according to your order, and I have also used many methods to repel mosquitoes. The number of patients stopped increasing. After you left, we had more than ten more patients, and now there are more than 60 patients. And four patients have passed away because of their serious illness.”

Speaking of this, Gogol seemed a little ashamed, as if he hadn't completed the task assigned to him by Ye Limo, so he was embarrassed.

Ye Limo reassured him and said: "Malaria is a disease that no one can cure. Whether the patient will get better or die depends on luck. This is not your responsibility. I have seen your work, and you have done a good job. We have no power to change the outcome of many things in the world, we just do our best to obey the destiny."

Gogol thoughtfully listened to Ye Limo's words, nodded and said: "I know, Your Majesty, do your best and obey the destiny. I have already done what I should do, and I can only look at the will of heaven. This sentence says That's right."

Seeing that Gogol was comforted by himself, Ye Limo said: "The patients have already taken the medicine, so you should take good care of them and continue to take the medicine. But this medicine should not be taken by healthy people, especially pregnant women. , if you take this medicine, you will definitely have a miscarriage, please be careful."

Gogol hurriedly said: "I remember, Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will definitely take the medicine carefully."

Although cinchona is a wonderful medicine for treating malaria, it is toxic to healthy people, so healthy people should not use it casually.

After seeing the patients and seeing that they had taken the medicine, Ye Limo was finally relieved, and returned to his residence, he wanted to have a good sleep.

After changing into pajamas, Ye Limo said: "Bruce, you should go to rest too. You are the only one who is more tired than me along the way."

The butler bent slightly and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, after I have arranged everything, I will go to rest."

Ye Limo felt relieved, yawned, hugged the quilt, and fell asleep at once.

On this day, Ye Limo only got up for dinner and then fell asleep again.

After sleeping like this for three full days, Ye Limo finally recovered.

This time, there is no need for Ye Limo to go to check, and you will know that there is good news. Many sick conditions have improved, some of them have completely improved and returned to health, and some have not fully recovered, but they are much better. For heat islands, this is a great thing.

Ye Limo, who had been in a coma for three days, walked out of his residence and basked in the sun. The people he met all called him His Majesty, and the smiles on their faces became more sincere. Obviously, Ye Limo, as a king, ventured into the mountains and spent half a month. Time has found the magic medicine to cure cold and fever. This incident touched them. It turns out that there are kings who think of them so much and are willing to take risks for them. Why don't they respect the king who loves his people so much?

The people, the favorite is not the king who thinks of them?

Although Ye Limo looks calm on the surface, he is actually very proud of himself in his heart. He is not a very smart person, and the so-called means of governing the country are not very clear. Fortunately, he comes from the 21st century when the information is exploding. Only with his own insights can he think of many ways that others can't think of.

In order to express their gratitude to Ye Limo, those patients and their families picked fruits and food from the mountains and forests, obtained prey, and presented them to him. Of course, Ye Limo did not lack these things, but he still accepted them. Thanks to the people, he worthy.

Not only Ye Limo, Bruce, the guards, and Gogol were all thanked by everyone.

In addition to the gratitude of the people, there are other important meanings to Ye Limo. Such important medicinal materials are of strategic significance.

When the patients were getting better day by day, good news came from the port. The Hope, which had been out for more than 20 days, finally returned.

In the past, the Hope ship went to sea and usually returned in about half a month. This time it took more than 20 days. Ye Limo probably went to discuss business, so it took some time.

The Nozomi Hope on its return voyage is still fully loaded with supplies needed by the heat island.

In addition to the full ship of goods, Sorel also brought back several contracts, all of which were supply contracts signed with merchants.In addition to the several deals that Ye Limo negotiated, Sorel also negotiated several other contracts, which greatly increased the demand for supply.This time, apart from those goods in the past, there are even people who want coconuts. In fact, Ye Limo is unwilling to make such heavy, not small, and low-priced goods. Earn a little bit.

In order to reward Sorel, Ye Limo not only rewarded him with gold coins, but also specially asked Angker to cook a sumptuous meal according to Ye Limo's own method, which was used to entertain Sorel and encourage him to continue to be the chief merchant.

Under the double happiness, Ye Limo's cheeks were also full of joy all day long. He was so happy when he heard that Sullivan's pirate group had returned, but it didn't look good?
