Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2070, increase the average life expectancy of the Ming Dynasty by 20 years

Inside Liu Jin's mansion in the capital.

Today is the weekend, and it is a day for resting and taking a bath. As usual, Liu Jin got up early and read the newspaper while eating breakfast.

Recently, Liu Jin's main task is to establish and improve Daming's medical system. He not only builds ten medical schools in many places in Daming to cultivate medical talents and research medical technology, but also uses the power of the government to establish and improve Daming's state capitals, New hospitals were built in major counties.

Improve and standardize relevant medical systems and systems, with the emphasis on prevention, control, and notification of infectious diseases and plagues.

The Ming Dynasty has entered the Little Ice Age. In the future, natural disasters will continue to appear and become more and more frequent, and related plagues and plagues will also occur one after another.

According to historical records, during the middle and late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, the whole world was within the scope of the Little Ice Age.

Not only is the climate change extremely extreme, various natural disasters emerge in endlessly, but also various plagues and diseases have entered a period of pandemic.

I must make adequate preparations now, improve some relevant systems, and store more food, so that I can deal with various natural disasters with ease.

"Zhang Xingjian, a student of Daming Medical College, has developed a new type of drug that can effectively treat tuberculosis and pneumonia?"

"penicillin?"

For a long time, Liu Jin had the habit of reading the Daming Medical Journal, mainly because the Daming Medical Journal often reported various diseases and corresponding symptoms and treatment methods.

This has been seen a lot, and naturally it will be somewhat useful, knowing some medical knowledge, knowing some useful small prescriptions, treatment methods and so on.

The reason why people in later generations know so many things is because the information of later generations is developed, and people have more information, so they naturally know more things.

When Liu Jin saw the news about penicillin reported in the Daming Medical Journal, he couldn't help standing up.

"Penicillin was discovered?"

Liu Jin couldn't believe it. We must know that the appearance of penicillin in history did not appear until the 20th century, and large-scale mass production was not realized until World War II.

Unexpectedly, someone from Daming has discovered this penicillin and used it in clinical medicine, which shocked Liu Jin.

Penicillin is an amazing thing.

Known as one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century in later generations!

Its appearance saved the lives of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people, and created a new field of medicine, the field of antibiotics, which directly increased the average life expectancy of human beings by 20 years.

Before the absence of penicillin, the average lifespan of humans was still very low. Even before World War II, the average lifespan of humans was only forty or fifty years old.

However, since the advent of penicillin, the life span of human beings has been greatly improved, and the emergence of various antibiotics has solved the troubles and problems of anti-bacteria and anti-virus that have plagued medical scientists and scientists. The diseases that are cured can be healed easily.

Especially on the battlefield, because of wound infection, too many soldiers died of wound infection and tetanus in the past.

But with penicillin, the mortality rate from wound infection was greatly reduced, and this alone saved tens of millions of soldiers.

After World War II, it was widely used in many medical fields. Many drugs in the antibiotic family have miraculous effects on pneumonia, tuberculosis, meningitis, viral infection, tetanus, syphilis, plague and many other diseases. I don’t know how many people have been cured. people.

Now someone actually researched this penicillin, which is of great significance to Daming.

You must know that you are worrying about infectious diseases. Like the plague, if there is penicillin, the plague can be easily cured.

During the plague last year, so many people would not have died, and there would be less panic when dealing with the plague, because if a disease can be cured, then everyone will not be afraid. If it cannot be cured, then everyone will be very panicked.

The appearance of this penicillin is really amazing.

For Daming, it is of great significance. This will greatly improve the medical level of Daming and increase the average life expectancy of Daming.

"Prepare the car and go to Daming Medical College!"

Thinking of this, Liu Jin also planned to go to Daming Medical College to see Zhang Xingjian.

This is really a remarkable person who was able to develop penicillin.

Here at the Affiliated Hospital of Daming Medical College, at this moment, a large number of medical school professors, doctors, and scholars gathered together, marveling at the magic and inconceivability of penicillin.

"It's incredible!"

"This is simply amazing. There was no cure for tuberculosis before. At most, some prescriptions for nourishing the lungs were prescribed, but the symptoms were not cured. After all, there was no effect."

"That's right, especially if the tuberculosis develops to an advanced stage, it is basically waiting for death, but now, using this penicillin, the tuberculosis can be cured so quickly."

"In just a few days, the breathing is smooth, the coughing is much less, the complexion is rosy, and all aspects are much better."

"The magic medicine, it really is the magic medicine!"

"What a god!"

"I have been practicing medicine for decades and all my life. In the past, I have seen many children die because of pneumonia. It is heartbreaking to see. Too many people die of pneumonia every year. Everyone has been All helpless."

"I didn't expect to use this penicillin to cure pneumonia so easily. From then on, I don't even know how many children I can save every year."

"I think this penicillin can not only be used to treat tuberculosis and pneumonia, but since it can kill germs, it can also be used to treat some viral diseases."

"Like a cold and fever, according to our current research, one of them is a cold and fever caused by a virus. We have not had any good way to treat this type of cold and fever."

"It's completely different from wind-cold and cold. Traditional methods are very ineffective. When the fever is high, it is easy to burn out the brain. Every year, many children die because of this and become stupid."

"I think you can try to use this penicillin to treat this type of viral cold and fever."

"It's really amazing. Such a magical medicine has been researched at such a young age. It's no wonder that he is the grandson of Professor Zhang. This family has practiced medicine for a long time, and it has accumulated blessings and virtues."

"Isn't it? Once the penicillin is released, many diseases can be easily cured. I don't know how many people it can benefit."

Everyone kept discussing and sighing in the special ward where Zhang Xingjian was experimenting.

Accompanied by the report of Daming Medical Journal, there are many patients with tuberculosis and pneumonia who come to the Affiliated Hospital of Daming Medical College to see a doctor. These patients can be cured quickly by injecting penicillin. This is also caused by the Daming Medical College. There was a huge sensation.

Tuberculosis and pneumonia have always been incurable diseases, even if there are some prescriptions, it is a method to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Those who can survive are fatal, but most of them will eventually die of illness.

Now with this penicillin, it is very easy to treat these two diseases. If you insist on taking the medicine every day, you can easily cure pneumonia and tuberculosis. This is a miracle in everyone's eyes.

"The chief minister of the cabinet, Mr. Liu, is here!"

At this time, I don't know who shouted, and when everyone heard it, they rushed forward to greet him.

"Uncle Liu!"

When everyone saw Liu Jin, they hurriedly said hello in unison.

"Hello everyone, hello everyone!"

Liu Jin also greeted everyone with a smile, and then asked, "Who is Zhang Xingjian?"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Xingjian quickly stood up and said, "I am Zhang Xingjian."

"You are Zhang Xingjian, you are amazing!"

Liu Jin gave Zhang Xingjian a thumbs up, and then carefully looked at this Zhang Xingjian, but he didn't expect that he was of mixed race.

"Ah~"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Xingjian immediately became excited. What is this Liu Jin? He is the chief assistant of the current cabinet, and he actually said to himself that he is great.

"I read the Daming Medical Journal, which said that the penicillin you invented can effectively treat pneumonia and tuberculosis, so I came here to take a look. These two diseases have always been incurable, and you can have such achievements at a young age. , is indeed remarkable!"

Liu Jin said with a smile.

"I also discovered it by accident."

Zhang Xingjian immediately scratched his head in embarrassment and said.

"That's also amazing. This penicillin will greatly increase the average life expectancy of our human beings, and will make a huge contribution to the development of our human medical science and technology."

"I will report this matter to the emperor and ask the emperor to reward you!"

Liu Jin praised him very much. Such people are all great scientists and medical scientists who have made outstanding contributions and great effects on the progress and development of mankind.

"what?"

When Zhang Xingjian heard this, he was stunned immediately. He didn't expect that he could get such a high evaluation by accidentally discovering it, which would even alarm the emperor.

"Isn't this a big deal?"

Zhang Xingjian's grandfather Zhang Zhigang thought for a while and said.

"No, no, not at all."

Liu Jin shook his head with a smile and said, "With this penicillin, the average life expectancy of my Daming can be increased by at least 20 years. How many people do you think can make such a contribution?"

"Work hard!"

"I think you can set up a pharmaceutical factory to produce this penicillin, find ways to increase its production, and promote it as soon as possible to benefit more people!"

"Yes, I will definitely work hard!"

After Zhang Xingjian listened to it, his whole blood boiled with excitement, and he was very active!
