Zhao Hao came to Xishan Island this time to select a site for the Ordnance Research Institute.

Previously, he received a commission from Zhang Juzheng from the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Helpers to improve firearms.

For this reason, Zhang Xianggong also appointed him as a 'supervisory member' to supervise the errands of the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau on behalf of the cabinet.

But Zhao Hao didn't want to please that person, so he only asked the Ordnance Bureau for a dozen gun-making masters, and he never harassed them again.

Even the dozen or so gun-making masters were all sent by Zhao Gongzi to make flood-fighting tools such as hammers, hoes, and shovels, and they haven't met him yet.

At this point, the most difficult time has passed. Kunkaisi recruited dozens of ordinary blacksmiths from various counties in Suzhou, so there was no need to overdo it.

Zhao Hao ordered someone to pick up Gao Laohan and those gun-making masters to Kunshan.

But for the sake of prudence, he decided that it would be better to set up the Ordnance Research Institute on Xishan Island.

It is surrounded by water on all sides, not to mention the strict guards, and the whole island is 22 miles long from north to south, and 14 miles wide, which is as big as five Suzhou cities. Even if you fire a cannon to test explosives, it will not alarm people outside the island.

He is a traitor...... Oh no, an excellent place to conduct classified science.

When he inspected Xishan Island before, he roughly selected the area of Chenjiawu located on the middle island. It is surrounded by mountains, secluded and easy to guard. In the middle is a long, narrow flat valley, which is suitable for a shooting test field.

This time, Zhao Hao came to work with the designers to finalize the construction plan of the Ordnance Research Institute on the spot.

Unfortunately, the next morning, a bad news reached the island, which forced him to change his itinerary.

When Pan Jitao was surveying the third phase of the project in Kunnan, he suddenly fainted by Dianshan Lake. Zheng Ruozeng and others hurriedly sent him back to Kunbei and urgently notified Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao was anxious when he heard the news, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a ship to return to Kunshan. Xu Bangrui was worried about his son and followed him on the boat.

~~

The boat sailed down the river from Xishan Island and arrived in Kunshan at noon.

At this time, it was late August, the flood season had come to an end, and the stagnant water in Kunnan had basically receded, revealing a large area of muddy ground, and it was impossible to distinguish where the fields were and where the roads were.

Obviously, it will be some time before normal living conditions return to Kunnan. Pan Zhongcheng has been working in this kind of ghost place for several days.

No matter how Lao Pan complains, his serious devotion to water conservancy work is enough to kill those scholars and doctors who only know how to talk in seconds.

'Old Pan, you must not be fine! Otherwise, this son will become a sinner for the ages! Zhao Hao slapped the railing heavily, turned his head to look at the Jiangnan Hospital on the bank of the Xiaoli River in the distance, and couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly over.

Jiangnan Hospital has been open for more than a month, and it is now overcrowded with people who come to see patients every day.

It's no surprise that there are three of the world's top doctors in the hospital.

Although most of the daily consultations are their disciples, the level of medical skills has far surpassed that of ordinary doctors.

Moreover, Jiangnan Hospital implements a 'flexible consultation fee system' - simply put, it is up to you to give as much as you want, and you can give a few duck eggs, a bunch of lamp grass and the like if you don't have money. It's really poor and can't do it, and it doesn't matter if you don't pay for the consultation.

Anyway, they Zhao Gongzi didn't open a hospital to make money.

As a result, not only the people of this county flocked to it, but even people from neighboring places such as Taicang and Changshu in Suzhou also came to see a doctor, almost overcrowding the hospital.

Zhao Hao had to adopt an appointment system hundreds of years in advance.

In addition to the emergency department, each department releases an unequal number of 'treatment numbers' every day according to its own ability, so that patients can come to see a doctor with the number, so that the busy doctors have a chance to take a breath.

~~

Zhao Hao entered the hospital through the back door.

When he walked into the single room with a faint smell of alcohol, he saw Pan Jitao changing into a blue cotton hospital gown and lying motionless on the hospital bed.

He crept into the room and placed a bouquet of golden chrysanthemums on the bedside table. Looking at Pan Zhongcheng, whose eyes were closed and his face was sallow, Zhao Gongzi sighed apologetically and asked Li Shizhen, who was guarding the side:

"Sir, what is Zhongcheng's disease?"

"The Eight Achievements are Gu Worm Disease." Since learning about the world of germs, Li Shizhen has become accustomed to wearing a mask. He also wears a cloth hat, which looks a little like the doctors of later generations. "Dean Wan personally went to check his feces, and he will soon be able to determine if it is or not."

Now Jiangnan Hospital has adopted the method of observing the patient's feces with a microscope and looking for eggs to diagnose schistosomiasis.

Daming's doctors have a very deep understanding of medicine, as long as they are given enough scientific and technological support, they can find out the scientific ones on their own

How to confirm the diagnosis.

"Schistosomiasis, did you get it after coming to Kunshan?" Zhao Hao covered his mouth. Thinking of Pan Zhongcheng, after coming to Kunshan, he stepped on the mud soup almost every day. He felt that he had harmed him.

"It's not." Li Shizhen shook his head and said: "The damp and poisonous qi in his body has gradually become viscera along with the meridian blood qi, and ascites has accumulated. It's been sick for years. ”

After a pause, he said: "I asked his attendant, and it is said that he suddenly had a habit of eating soil in the past two years, which is likely to be caused by worms in his stomach." ”

"That's right." Zhao Hao sighed secretly, I thought Mr. Pan was simply good, but it turned out that he was sick.

"And how did he get unconscious?"

"Blood deficiency caused by asylosis, plus exertion." Li Shizhen replied: "I also had a high fever when I sent it, it is estimated that there are new worms entering the body, we have fed him medicine, and the fever has subsided at this time, and he will be able to wake up soon." ”

"......" Zhao Hao listens well, feelings are still my responsibility.

"Can this disease be cured?" Zhao Hao's knowledge of schistosomiasis focuses on how to prevent it.

As for treatment, he only knew that 'praziquantel' was a special drug, but he didn't have the ability to synthesize it.

Artemisinin seems to have some effect, but let's listen to what the doctor has to say first.

"Don't worry." I only heard Li Shizhen say lightly: "I have nine prescriptions to treat this disease, and there are seven kinds of predecessors, which are roughly divided into five categories: insecticide, spitting, stasis, water, and straightening." After the diagnosis, we will discuss a set of plans to help Zhongcheng cure the disease. ”

Seeing that Li Shizhen was very sure of treating the terrible schistosomiasis, Zhao Hao suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

He felt more and more the need to continue to invest in medicine.

To put it mildly, this is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and for the benefit of future generations; To put it in a small way, it is also a way to let yourself and the people around you win more battles when the disease comes.

In this way, the legendary story of our Zhao Gongzi will not be a eunuch halfway.

ps. third more. Well, everyone also has to vote hard to continue the legendary story of Zhao Gongzi. Write one more more.
