Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 394 Journey
"Rice seeds?"

After hearing his granddaughter's plan, Gu Heng couldn't help frowning slightly.

Mobilize the army and mobilize the crowd, and send troops to capture a wild land, just for the rice seeds.

"Aweng, don't underestimate this kind of rice."

Gu Qingcheng has top-level biological skills, so he should not be too familiar with some common sense of animals and plants.

She talked eloquently, "This kind of rice is upland rice, drought-resistant and highly adaptable. It can be grown not only in Lingnan, but also in other places!"

"The key is that it matures quickly! The fastest one only takes more than 50 days!"

In Lingnan, because of the unique weather and geography, crops can easily be harvested twice or even thrice a year.

But even so, many conditions are required.

The Champa rice variety, however, seems to be cheating. It only takes less than two months to mature.

Moreover, with such rice seeds, Gu Qingcheng can let the old farmers try to "hybridize" and produce new varieties with high yield and drought tolerance.

Hybrid rice is definitely at the level of nuclear weapons.

Gu Qingcheng knows that in her original world, there are many restrictions, and it may not be possible to completely restore it.

But as long as the output can be doubled, the problem can be solved to the greatest extent.

With sufficient food, Gu Qingcheng has the confidence to occupy a larger territory and train more soldiers and horses.

By then, it will be easy to fight back to Jiankang!
"Just over 50 days? Less than two months?"

Gu Heng was really surprised.

Although he comes from a noble family and is in the center, he seems to be a noble person.

However, Gu Heng is not a dead-educated person, he is a standard son of aristocratic family, proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, read a lot of books, and traveled all over the world.

He has also dabbled in farming, medical skills, etc.

Maybe Gu Heng doesn't know how to farm the land himself, but he still knows the basic "common sense".

Rice seeds that can be harvested in less than two months are indeed very precious.

If it is popularized, the world will no longer have to worry about famine.

"Okay! Then take Jiaozhou!"

Gu Heng is a person who has done Zhongshu Ling, and he has the heart of family, country and world.

He also knew that if such an "artifact" was in the hands of the Gu family, his granddaughter's career would be even smoother!

Gu Heng looked deeply at the increasingly beautiful Gu Qingcheng, his eyes filled with relief and pride.

If he was willing to support his little granddaughter with all his family's strength before, it was more because of guilt and distress, and because of family affection.

So at this moment, seeing Gu Qingcheng being so successful and discovering the magic rice seed, Gu Heng only felt: This world, Ah Qing can take it away!
Gu Qingcheng proved with facts that she can be stronger and more capable.

Once you have a goal, you must continue to train.

In addition, if troops are to be dispatched, issues such as food, fodder, war horses, and logistical supplies must be prepared in advance.

In Lingnan, there is another terrible existence - miasma.

For miasma, only its name has been seen in the history books of the past dynasties, but its cause has not been seen.

What exactly miasma is, there is no clear explanation at all.

Is it the poisonous gas derived from the dense forest water in southern Xinjiang in the hot and humid climate?Or is it a disease that breaks out due to the bite of mosquitoes (Plasmodium), etc.?

Later generations did not have a clear answer, and Gu Qingcheng, as an ancient aborigine living in Lingnan, could not make a judgment for a while.

All she knew was that the poison of miasma was terrible.

People in the world are afraid of the south of the Five Ridges like a tiger. Apart from being remote, wild, and uncivilized, the main reason is the miasma!

Although Gu Qingcheng has knowledge in medicine and biology, she only has one, no equipment, and no helpers. She wants to do research and find out what the miasma is, but she can't do it!
She can only conduct some experiments according to her own ideas.

First of all, regardless of whether the miasma is marsh gas or poisonous gas, anti-inflammatory drugs are necessary.

Gu Qingcheng collected a lot of things along the way when he was exiled in Lingnan.

Among them is mustard marinade.

This is probably the earliest anti-inflammatory drug in China.

It uses moldy mold to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, and it is a proper soil antibiotic.

However, the old mustard stew is only the most primitive, not a patented medicine, and there are no guarantees about the efficacy of the medicine, whether it is allergic or not.

After Gu Qingcheng came to Lingnan, he began to search for all kinds of talents who were exiled to Lingnan.

In addition to craftsmen and farmers who can build houses and farm, Gu Qingcheng also focuses on recruiting doctors.

"Physician Zhang, how is the development of this old mustard stew?"

Gu Qingcheng found the first group of medical talents she recruited.

Doctor Zhang is said to be a descendant of a medical sage.

Ahem, this "supposedly" is more like bragging, and there is no real evidence.

However, the Zhang family has practiced medicine for generations. Since the father of Imperial Physician Zhang, he has been selected into the Imperial Hospital.

Becoming an imperial physician is indeed the pinnacle of an ancient doctor's career.

However, the "reincarnation rate" in the hospital is too high.

If they are not careful, the imperial doctors will get involved in palace intrigues and officialdom conflicts.

The status of doctors is extremely low. Once something happens, the first one to be cannon fodder is the doctor.

Moreover, the patients in the Tai Hospital are all rich and powerful.

If you encounter medical trouble, you may lose your official position or get slapped with a ban, or you may be exiled or beheaded!

Doctor Zhang is one of the many unlucky people in the hospital.

Speaking of it, Doctor Zhang was really wronged.

He was exiled by the former Emperor Xiao.

At that time, there was a concubine who was quite favored in the harem. During childbirth, she had a difficult delivery and one foot got stuck in the birth canal. Both mother and child were in danger.

Wen Po was helpless, so the emperor forced the imperial physician.

Imperial Physician: ...Where can we deliver babies?

Dr. Zhang Xu was dizzy for a moment and whispered, "Maybe we can perform a cesarean section to take out the baby!"

Caesarean section?

Of course not!
Therefore, that beloved concubine died twice.

The emperor was sad and angry, and began to find fault.

The first ones to bear the brunt were the people serving around the beloved concubine, followed by Wen Po who delivered the baby, and the imperial doctor who was responsible for the diagnosis.

And then, Xu Shidi was still angry, and remembered that imperial doctor who was talking nonsense!

Got it!
It was just such a sentence that came out unintentionally, Doctor Zhang and his whole family were exiled to Lingnan.

Doctor Zhang and his family were exiled, but they were really exiled.

They don't have the treatment of family, let alone take a car, they are served by servants, they have to put on shackles and chains, eat and sleep in the open, and walk all the way.

The Zhang family had a total of 27 members. When they arrived in Lingnan, there were only nine people left.

It shows how tragic it is.

After experiencing this difficulty, Imperial Physician Zhang has completely learned to shut up.

The whole person became taciturn, and did not dare to try novel medical methods lightly.

However, Gu Qingcheng's recruitment, the importance of the Gu family, and the many "inspirations" proposed by Gu Qingcheng slowly stimulated the dying heart of Imperial Doctor Zhang.

In Gu's Wubao, Dr. Zhang rekindled his passion and enthusiasm as a doctor.

"Chen mustard stew, it really has a miraculous effect!"

"Someone has tried to extract the mold and make it into a medicine with stable efficacy."

When it came to his profession, Doctor Zhang finally stopped being taciturn.

He really likes to study medicine, and Gu Qingcheng gave him sufficient conditions and respect.

This is the Gu family of Wu County, a noble family, no less than the royal family.

But the little girl from the Gu family is polite and considerate.

Doctor Zhang and his family all felt the kindness and sincerity from the Gu family.

Scholar die for the confidant!

Doctor Zhang thought he would die of old age in a remote and wild foreign land.

But he didn't expect that he would have such luck - Mr. Gu!

Their family will definitely not be satisfied with Lingnan, an alien place, and they will definitely find a way to return to Kyoto.

And Zhang, as the person Gu Sanniang needs, should be able to go back with him, right?

After gaining respect and seeing hope, Doctor Zhang became more active.

He even began to try experiments that he did not dare to try in Beijing: rabbits, mice, cats and dogs, etc., all became the test subjects of Dr. Zhang.

The old mustard stew that Gu Qingcheng gave him was actually developed by him.

"Good! Doctor Zhang really lives up to the reputation of the Xinglin family!"

Gu Qingcheng was very satisfied. Looking at the medicinal powder stored in the small porcelain bottle, he nodded repeatedly.

Now that we have a preliminary version of anti-inflammatory drugs, can we try to extract artemisinin next?

The Gu family is an aristocratic family with a particularly large collection of books.

Even if he was exiled, Gu Heng still brought one or two compartments of books with him.

What a coincidence, there are some medical books or Taoist classics in the Gu family's book collection.

Gu Qingcheng remembered that the earliest ancient book that recorded the extraction of artemisinin should be "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" by Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The time and space where Gu Qingcheng lives is an overhead dynasty in a parallel world.

There are no dynasties like Wei and Jin, but they have similar backgrounds.

However, some similar works have also been derived.

Gu Qingcheng found relevant content in a handbook written by a Taoist priest:
"One hold of Artemisia annua, soak it in two liters of water, twist it to get the juice, and take it as much as you want."

She gave the manuscript to Doctor Zhang.

Doctor Zhang: "Malaria? Is this an ancient remedy for malaria?"

"Yes! Lingnan is hot and humid, and there are many mosquitoes. Gu's Uburg pays great attention to hygiene, and malaria has not yet appeared."

Gu Qingcheng nodded and said softly, "But if you go to the wild, you will inevitably be bitten by mosquitoes, and the risk of malaria infection will be greatly increased!"

When Dr. Zhang heard Gu Qingcheng's words, he seemed to have thought of something, with a painful expression on his face.

It's not just Lingnan, even on the way to Lingnan, there will be cold, malaria and other diseases.

And this kind of disease, as long as you get it, there is only one word-death!

Rao is that the Zhang family is a family of medicine, and the nephews and nephews in the family have been rolling in the pile of herbs since they were young. When it really came to a critical moment, they were all helpless.

I can only watch my close relatives dying of illness because the high fever does not go away!
"Sanniang, don't worry! I will do my best!"

Not only to repay Gu Qingcheng's kindness, but also to make achievements in front of the lord, but also for the regrets I once had!

"..."

Gu Qingcheng nodded and didn't say too much, "If you need anything, just talk to the manager! If the manager can't handle it, come to me!"

Gu Qingcheng has already made a plan. She will lead the army next year at the earliest, and the year after the next at the latest.

As long as the miasma problem in Lingnan is solved, it will be a paradise - rich in materials, high in the sky and vast in the sea, and there is a lot to do.

This is also the starting point of Gu Qingcheng's career, and she will definitely manage it well.
