Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 124 Reagents
Sun Xiangfu didn't want to be a businessman, but without the nourishment of business, it would be difficult to do agriculture.

During this period, the production level of the Lingnan area and the Central Plains area was not even a star and a half, so a lot of investment was needed to improve their production efficiency. Seeing this, Sun Xiangfu decided to be the behind-the-scenes promoter.

As soon as it was dawn, Ah Yue brought a basket of lychees that had been tempered with cold well water to Sun Xiangfu's residence. fire.

Sun Xiangfu knew that Ah Yue was so diligent because she was afraid that she would forget to save her father, so every time he saw her, Sun Xiangfu would smile and say to her, "Your father's illness will be eliminated soon." Once cured, he will never leave you again."

"Ah Yue knows that my lord is the Bodhisattva sent by heaven to help Ah Yue." The little girl put on a rare smile and said to Sun Xiangfu.

"Who told you this?" Sun Xiangfu was taken aback when he heard the words.

"The little novice next to the great mage." Ah Yue replied honestly.

"That little guy's words are unbelievable. If there were a Bodhisattva in the world, he would have come down to save you a long time ago. Your mother and your brother wouldn't have died from the disease."

Hearing that Ah Yue's eyes were a little dazed, Sun Xiangfu didn't explain anything to her. After eating a few icy lychees, he took Ah Yue's little hand and walked towards the concentration camp for patients. The patient tries the medicine, and if it is effective, Xi Junmai, who is ready, will immediately set off to purchase medicinal materials in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.

After a while, Sun Xiangfu saw Xuanzang and Li Chunfeng outside the concentration camp, and after a greeting ceremony, Sun Xiangfu asked, "Master, Daoist Li, are you feeling well?"

"Some minor illnesses can be cured when the medicine arrives." Li Chunfeng replied very easily, then took the lychee basket from Sun Xiangfu's hand, and ate the lychees, looking pretty good.

Xuanzang was not idle either. Together with the three masters, he added medicinal materials to more than a dozen earthen jars. The two Taoist boys brought by the little monk and Li Chunfeng were helping to light the fire. After a while, when the smell of medicine in the earthen jars came out At that time, Feng An also came.

"Mr. Yue, you can select people from the patients to test the medicine." Sun Xiangfu saw that Xuanzang had already divided the boiled medicine into dozens of bowls. .

"The amount of medicine in the first five bowls has been reduced by half compared to what we used yesterday. You can choose people with a strong body to try it. The middle five bowls and the last five bowls have reduced by [-]% and [-]% respectively. You can choose people who are a little weaker to try. medicine, but the poor monk doesn’t know if the medicine can kill the poisonous insects in the patient’s body, if the medicine doesn’t kill the insects, they will explode in the patient’s stomach, and the patient’s life may be in danger.” Xuanzang, who has many medical skills, preached to Feng An cautiously.

Sun Xiangfu and Li Chunfeng were full of confidence in this medicine. After a while, after the sergeant rang the gong several times, most of the patients in the patient camp were gathered in the open space. Of course, there were also a few people who could never see By today's sun.

"Feng Gong, the first batch of drug testers may be dangerous, let them volunteer!" Sun Xiangfu picked up Ah Yue and distanced himself from the patients.

"If a few people die and can figure out the properties of the medicine, it's worth it."

After finishing speaking, Feng An shouted into the crowd in a loud dialect, and Sun Xiangfu could roughly understand a little bit, which meant that Feng An promised that if the first batch of people who tested the medicine died, he would not treat them badly. For their family members, those who have children to support them cannot try the medicine first, and those who have only one person in the family cannot try the medicine. Among the more than 1000 patients, only a dozen or so people finally met the conditions for the medicine test.

The ancients didn't know how to prevent and treat it, and usually the whole family got sick together when one disease occurred. People like Ah Yue were extremely lucky. Seeing this situation, not only Sun Xiangfu and Xuanzang, but even Li Chunfeng, who ate lychees, were also shocked. Somewhat dejected.

"Come on! It's just you. If you don't drink this bowl of medicine, you will definitely die. If you drink it, you still have a chance to live." Feng An said something to more than a dozen patients in dialect, and those patients left one after another. It was before the table where the medicine bowl was placed, but some people were still timid and didn't want to die now, so they hesitated to take the medicine bowl.

"Father, take your medicine."

Ah Yue still didn't quite understand what Xuanzang said before, she just felt that there were too many patients and few medicine bowls, so she yelled at Ah Shan who was not among the first batch of patients to test the medicine.

Hearing her call, Ah Shan staggered out of the crowd, glanced at Ah Yue lingeringly, then turned around, and knelt down to Feng An in poor Chinese, "Chief, please allow me the first time!" A batch of test drugs."

Feng An nodded appreciatively at him and said, "Forget it, since some people don't want to try it, you can just eat a bowl! If something happens, I will take care of your daughter."

Ah Shan kowtowed three times to Feng An, stood up and walked towards the table where the medicine bowls were placed without looking back. Xuanzang checked his physical condition, picked up one of the bowls of medicine, and handed it to him.

"Grumble" sounded.

Ah Shan was the first to drink the medicine, and there was no reaction for a while, followed by other hesitant people who also slowly drank the potion that didn't taste very good.

"Sit down and rest first, if you feel unwell, just say it quickly."

Feng An yelled at the people who had drunk the medicine. At this moment, Li Chunfeng's eyes began to sweep over the people to observe their reactions.

After more than a quarter of an hour, probably because the medicine had been initially digested in the stomach, many people's stomachs began to tumbling.

"I, I want convenience."

Ah Shan was the first to yell out, then hugged his stomach and ran to the side of the open space, where the hut was specially prepared for patients. There was not much pain on his face.

Soon, another patient who drank the medicine followed his footsteps and ran towards the hut. Suddenly, a crackling sound rang out from the hut, and a stench also came from the direction of the hut.

"Pay attention to their stomachs later. If they shrink, it proves that the medicine has worked." Sun Xiangfu shouted, and suddenly, the eyes of thousands of people in the field focused on the hut area.

After a while, Ah Shan came out of the hut. Although he looked a little weaker, everyone's eyes were on his stomach.

"It's deflated, it's really deflated, hehe, this medicine is effective, this medicine is effective..."

Feng An, who was in his fifties, shouted loudly like a child and jumped up.

At this time, Li Chunfeng didn't care about the smell on Ah Shan's body anymore. He lifted up his thin clothes and looked at his stomach. It was indeed much more deflated than before. After seeing his stomach, he went into the hut again. Yes, he held his nose and ran out of it.

"It's really a lot of pulling, it's black, and it's extremely smelly." After running out of the range of the smell, Li Chunfeng kept fanning his nose with his hands.

"These feces are the source of the disease of pot belly disease. They must be buried deeply or set on fire." Sun Xiangfu reminded Feng An again, but these days Feng An has been sending his sergeants to beat gongs in the concentration camp to preach, basically all patients We all know that you can't defecate anywhere, you can't eat raw or cold food, you have to take a bath with hot water, and the bath water has to be boiled before it can be thrown away.

After a while, patients came out of the hut one after another. Feng An asked the sergeants to bring them enough food. However, there were still a few who did not come out after entering, and were finally carried out by the sergeants with blood in their stools. , There were three people who were pulled into a coma, and after the coma, there was one unlucky guy who suffocated to death.

"Nowadays, as long as the dosage of this medicine is appropriate, the chance of death is not high. First, continue to use the medicine for observation. If the patient's condition continues to improve, then our treatment will be successful." Sun Xiangfu concluded.

"Successful, are we really going to succeed?" Feng An excitedly grabbed Sun Xiangfu's shoulder and said.

"It's almost the same. The biggest problem now is the shortage of medicinal materials. In addition, the prevention work must be strictly implemented. As long as the people here are not lazy, follow the prevention manual I gave you to pay attention to daily life and believe the number of patients. It will be greatly reduced." Sun Xiangfu said with a smile even though he was hurt by Feng An's grasp.

"Okay, okay, okay, the old man will definitely send people to each village and tribe to preach, supervise, and strictly let them implement it."

Feng An was a little agitated, and after talking with Sun Xiangfu, he told the news to all the potbellied patients present, and immediately, a large crowd of people in the field bowed down.

"Sun Xiamu, Master Xuanzang, Daoist Li, please pay homage to this old man and many suffering people in Lingnan." Feng An stood in front of many sick patients, bent at ninety degrees and saluted.

"Yuegong, you can't do it, you can't do it..."

The three of Sun Xiangfu hurriedly helped Feng An up, and after comforting many patients, they let the patients go to the cool barracks to rest first.

The weather in Lingnan is very hot in May. While talking about some other common diseases in Lingnan, everyone went to the pier. Here, Sun Xiangfu's guards had already assembled.

"Yue Gong, besides the big belly disease, the cold and heat disease in Lingnan can also be cured. Pindao has already trusted Daoist Sun in Chang'an. He is the best at treating this disease. Even if he can't go south immediately, there should be a prescription."

Having received heartfelt thanks from many people, Li Chunfeng was in a good mood and told Feng An.

"That's very good. If Daoist Sun can come to Lingnan, I will treat him as a distinguished guest." Feng An said with a smile.

Just like the purpose of the little novice's words to Ah Yue, Li Chunfeng also began to want to increase the influence of Taoism in Lingnan. It is no wonder that religion can be easily spread in this period. They have a set that is easy for people to believe in this period. While speaking, he did a lot of things that are beneficial to the people. For example, Sun Simiao studied medicine and pharmacology all his life, and left countless people alive.

But Sun Xiangfu didn't think that to do things that are beneficial to the people, he must flaunt his identity as a religious member, and said indifferently, "The master and the Taoist master must know the truth that helping others is the foundation of happiness!"

Xuanzang and Li Chunfeng were taken aback when they heard the words, and silently recited these words several times, as if they had realized something.
