Feed the sick prince, start from the Krypton Gold Mall

Chapter 5 Your Daughter Refuses Sensationalism (Overhaul)
It takes 8 points to redeem a tablet of quinine.

With tens of thousands of people infected, she couldn't provide pills at this price to everyone in the city.

"Our biggest hope now is to collect a large amount of Artemisia annua and try to extract a substance called artemisinin from it, which is very effective in treating malaria.

My eldest sister and mother were cured by it.

But this extraction is a little difficult. If the temperature is slightly wrong, the artemisinin will be...cooked to death, so it would be best if all the doctors in the city could come and help."

I don’t know why, but the confidence in Ji Nanxing’s words makes people want to believe him.

But Ji Yongchang couldn't understand, "Nanxing, who told you this? Where did you get the medicine you gave your mother and elder sister?"

Sometimes, this questioning spirit can be annoying.

I had to make up a story to appease him in my busy schedule.

"Father, to be honest, my daughter met a crazy old Taoist priest on the last outing with mother.

I felt sorry for him, so I gave him some food and silver. He gave his daughter two pills, told her that there would be a disaster in Xuzhou, and told her this method to treat malaria.

I was not sure before so I did not dare to say it, but now it seems that the master's method is definitely worth a try."

Ji Yongchang looked at her in shock, his eyes reddening again, "Son, if you succeed, you will have saved the lives of tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou!"

After all,

He took the plan given by Ji Nanxing and hurriedly summoned the doctors who had not left yet.

Little do people know that the extraction conditions for artemisinin are extremely harsh. If the temperature is too low, it cannot be extracted, and if the temperature is too high, the effective ingredients of artemisinin that inhibit malarial parasites will be destroyed.

With only the doctors her father had summoned,
I don’t know when I will finish this research.

She opened the points mall and looked at a set of extraction devices in the mall——

To purchase it, you need 1000 points.

too expensive.

But the point mall is very user-friendly in that it provides rental services for reusable tools. If this device is rented, 8 points can be rented for one day.

She rented an extraction device and returned to her own yard to begin her retreat.

the other side,
Seeing hope, Ji Yongchang regained his motivation.

A large amount of Artemisia annua was transported from other places. The doctors in the city boiled the Artemisia annua day and night and tested the medicine on sick people inside and outside the city.

The use of Artemisia annua,
Provides slight improvement in the condition of a small number of malaria patients.

However, before the good news could make the officials in Xuzhou happy, the imperial doctors who returned to Beijing informed Emperor Wenxuan of the situation in Xuzhou, and the emperor's second oral order came again -

“In compliance with the order of His Majesty, I order the governor of Xuzhou, Ji Yongchang, to execute and burn all the sick civilians within five days to prevent the disease from spreading beyond Xuzhou.

If the disease spreads beyond Xuzhou,

All the officials responsible for this matter will be beheaded in public!"

His Majesty's decree left the officials in Xuzhou dumbfounded.

On one hand, there is hope for treatment;
On one side is the Emperor’s will;
"Since His Majesty has issued an order, let's do as he says."

"We already have a prescription for treatment. Maybe we can cure the sick people soon."

"It's still uncertain whether this prescription will work. The longer we delay, the more harm will happen to the healthy people in the city..."

As soon as they received the imperial edict, the officials in Xuzhou immediately split into two groups.

As the most senior official here and the final decision maker, Ji Yongchang did not speak and the others could only argue. It was precisely because of this that he was reluctant to express his position.

at this time,

He thought of Ji Nanxing...

"Everyone go back first, we will discuss this matter later."

"My lord, time is pressing now. The Emperor's order..." "No matter how urgent it is, there is no need to rush for a few incense sticks."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards Ji Nanxing's yard.

Ji Yongchang was more inclined to save the people of the city, but such a choice would undoubtedly risk his life. So before taking the risk, he should at least see hope.

##
Ji Nanxing had been up for two nights. The data board was filled with records of failures, and her eyes were purple.

When Ji Yongchang came, she didn't even want to stand up to greet him, and stared at the instrument intently.

Ji Yongchang was also attracted by the strange thing in front of him, "What is this?"

"extraction."

She finally looked away, "Dad, why are you here? Someone out there has already succeeded?"

"No."

Ji Yongchang did not tell her the emperor's order, but asked, "Nanxing, are you sure you can get this life-saving medicine in three days?"

Ji Nanxing looked at him with an expression that said, "Are you okay?" "Instead of thinking about this, you might as well ship more Artemisia annua to Xuzhou. The extraction amount of artemisinin is not high, and the current technology wastes a lot of money. If you have the time, you might as well ensure the supply of raw materials."

He asked the question that concerned him most: "This medicine can definitely be made, right?"

Ji Nanxing stopped and handed him the extracted liquid, "These are all we have for now, but we can definitely get it out. You can try it first.

I am currently trying a simpler and more efficient method. Call me if you have any questions. "

The words "Call me if you need anything" stunned Ji Yongchang.

He couldn't help but re-examine his little daughter.

Among all the children, the eldest son was young and promising, and had gained experience in the frontier; the eldest daughter was well-educated and well-mannered, and was a famous lady in Xuzhou;

The only thing was his youngest daughter, who stayed in the backyard and didn't like to get close to him. She didn't have much of a sense of existence. His deepest memory was when she was sick as a child and he held her in his arms to seek medical treatment...

did not expect,
Grow up,
And became the savior of this epidemic...

For a moment, Ji Yongchang was filled with emotion, "Nanxing..."

"Dad, there's a small snack under your nose, remember to wipe it off when you go out."

Having said that,

Ji Yongchang just felt embarrassed, "Then, then Dad will leave first."

##
Ji Yongchang used the liquid she extracted on seriously ill patients. Although the amount of medicine was small, the effect was significant.

This will undoubtedly make people more confident in the treatment of this epidemic!
He had already made up his mind.
However, many people around him advised him, "Sir, please think twice about this matter!"

By clearing out these sick people according to the emperor's order and then arresting the officials in the place where the incident occurred and sending them to the capital for punishment, the impact of this matter on Ji Yongchang can be minimized.

But if he really petitioned the emperor to ask for more time, it would mean that he was taking the responsibility on himself.

Ji Yongchang's position as prefect was the ceiling for local officials. No matter how well he did, there was no room for advancement; but if he did not do well, he would lose his head.

"Since I am the prefect of Xuzhou, I should be a good official here. I should benefit the people and provide them with a good life!"

He stamped the official seal representing the prefect of Xuzhou without hesitation.

Ji Yongchang looked at the remaining officials and said, "Please work together with me. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility!"

The memorial from Xuzhou will be sent quickly, eight hundred miles away.

in the palace

The old eunuch was holding the lamp beside him
Emperor Wenxuan, who had been reviewing memorials until late at night, frowned when he saw the memorial from Xuzhou. He picked up his pen...
