Outside the west gate of Gangneung, there is a large piece of public land belonging to the government, which is cultivated by some subordinates, and what is planted is not grain, but ramie and "marijuana" as the small officials of Nadian (xǐ) say.

"Zuo Bing Cao Shi is unlucky, ramie and marijuana are planted in late February and early March, and now they have just sprouted, and there are still a few months before they grow, at least until midsummer and May, before they can be harvested for the first time......"

Dian Feng said sorry, but in his heart he felt that the behavior of this left soldier Cao Shi was unbelievable, he wanted to use linen, and he even had to come and see it again with hemp plants, did he have to go to the chicken to see if the hen was handsome before eating the chicken?

"What a weirdo."

Heifu didn't know what the little official was thinking, and earnestly inquired about marijuana: it turned out that hemp could be harvested three times a year, in summer, autumn and before winter, and after harvesting, the leaves were removed, and only the stalks were soaked in the pond, and the fibers were softened and then fished out to dry and subdivided, which could be used to sew cloth.

"Meitian yields 50 stone and 100 stone per mu, and Botian still produces 30 stone, which is much easier to grow hemp than to obtain silk."

Therefore, in the hemp field in front of me, there are basically hemp buds that have just emerged from the young leaves, and I can't see Mingtang.

However, there are exceptions, after half a circle of this thousand-acre hemp field, on an adjacent hill, they finally found some hemp growing on the hill due to the spilling of hemp seeds.

But looking at these plants that are nine feet tall and taller than himself, Heifu showed a puzzled expression: "This is what you call marijuana?" ”

"It's marijuana."

Not only did he look at the head, but even Chen Wuji on the side also gave a positive answer, although this kind of hemp is not as widely cultivated as ramie in the south, but in the north, it is the main source of linen, and five-year-old children know it, Chen Wuji is a doctor who has to deal with plants at any time, how can he not recognize it.

Hefu was a little disappointed because it didn't seem to be the "marijuana" he had imagined.

In his previous life, during his internship, Heifu followed the anti-narcotics team to arrest a family who stole marijuana at home, although the marijuana that could be smoked was very similar to the hemp in front of him, but it grew low, less than half a person tall, and the leaves seemed to be larger and rounderer, on the other hand, the hemp in front of him had slender stems and narrower leaves.

Heifu couldn't help but think that in his previous life, when he was in class, a teacher had taught them science, although they were all called marijuana, but there were also some subspecies. In ancient times, hemp in northern China, which was widely used for weaving cloth, is fibrous and contains very little narcotics. However, the cannabis grown in India and Yunnan has a high narcotic content, and after the flowers and leaves are dried, they can be used as drugs to smoke, and the local people are as accustomed to pockmarks as snacks as the Central Plains people......

"It's a shame......"

Hefu was slightly disappointed, not because he wanted to "take a puff" and try it, but because if he could find marijuana containing narcotics, the anesthetic used to treat the wounds of the wounded might be gone.

He once asked Chen Wuyi, in addition to alcohol, could the doctor have any intoxicating things that would relieve the pain after being injured?

After thinking about it, Chen Wuji told Heifu that it is said that when Bian Que was treating people, he used a kind of "poisonous wine" to make people die for three days, and then cut the patient's chest and heart, treated the lesions, and finally injected miracle medicine to make the patient realize as before......

This statement surprised Heifu, it turned out that there was a surgical operation so early? Bian Que is really amazing.

But when he asked Chen Wuji if he would make that kind of "poisonous wine" that could stun people for three days, Chen Wuji reluctantly said that since the doctors were scattered and Bian Que was extinct, this secret recipe was lost.

Lost? Tease me?

Heifu was disappointed, but it is true that ancient technology is often broken, and it is all the pots that doctors cherish themselves because of the restrictions of the portal genre.

But after hearing the name "marijuana" today, Heifu's heart was filled with a different kind of thought.

"It is said that Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, also made hemp boiling powder, since there is a hemp character, it is probably also related to hemp, perhaps it is a narcotic substance extracted from the flowers and leaves of marijuana?"

Although the hemp in front of him seems to be different from the marijuana in later generations, Heifu still does not give up, two thousand years, maybe the hemp leaves in this year contain more narcotic substances than later generations? In addition, it is a warm climate now, and the climate and vegetation near Yunmengze are similar to those in Yunnan in later generations, and some wild cannabis may also be found? Maybe they can make good narcotics without being domesticated.

So Heifu asked Chen Wuyi: "Doctor Chen, I wonder if this hemp has been used for medicine in addition to weaving cloth?" ”

"Yes."

Without thinking, Chen Wuyi said: "After these hemp seeds are fried in practical oil, they are called hemp seeds, which are mainly used to treat dry stools and can be used to moisten the intestines and laxative!" ”

He lowered his voice: "What, the left soldier Cao Shi wants to use?" ”

You're constipated!

Heifu was speechless, so he could only pretend to tell a mysterious story, claiming that when he was a child, he once saw a wild marijuana plant in the mountains because he was playful, and because he was young and ignorant, he picked its flowers and leaves and chewed it, and then he couldn't wake up......

"Doctor Chen, imagine that after a general is injured on the battlefield, the pain pierces his heart, and at this time, if something like Bian Que's poisonous wine can stun him, and quickly deal with the severed limb sores when he is unconscious, so that the generals do not have to suffer, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Chen Wuyi is a smart person, and he immediately reacted: "What Zuo Bing Cao Shi means, let me try, can I also use the flowers and leaves of marijuana in medicine?" ”

"However, if you can make something similar to Bian Que's poisonous wine, Doctor Chen will be a doctor in the world, and he will be a great success! Presumably, the Imperial Physician Ling will once again treat Doctor Chen differently. ”

At the instigation of Heifu, Chen Wuyi was moved, and promised that during Heifu's training of medical soldiers, he would also use the flowers and leaves of marijuana to see if it could be used in medicine, and lead people to find wild marijuana.

"If it can be made, it will be all due to Dr. Chen, and it has nothing to do with me."

Heifu had cleaned himself up in advance, and was determined to let Chen Wuyi figure it out by himself, he would no longer ask about this matter, whether it was successful or not, it had nothing to do with him.

"It's all Ye Teng's fault, I'm really doing good deeds now without leaving a name." Heifu couldn't laugh or cry.

After that, Heifu consulted with the pawn that Bingcao needed a hundred horses of ramie cloth this month, and asked the weaving room to help make twenty rolls of bandages for each cloth. In the next six months, it was necessary to weave 1,500 horses of ramie cloth and make 30,000 rolls of bandages!

"Do you need that much to do?" Chen Wuji was a little surprised, according to the market price of 300 yuan per ramie cloth, it means that 450,000 yuan will be invested! That's not a small amount.

"Be prepared."

Heifu said that he knew that Nanjun would recruit at least 30,000 soldiers this year, and although it was impossible for everyone to be injured, at least he had to ensure that everyone had a roll of bandages, right? If that weren't enough, the weaving room in the rear would still need to be continuously crafted to supply the front line.

And if I remember correctly, although this battle ended with the destruction of the Chu State, the process was very long, and every time there was a confrontation, it would lead to many casualties. At that time, it was the time for the medical soldiers to show their skills, in addition to boosting morale so that the soldiers have no worries, it was also a good thing if they could save as many people as possible.

As for spending money? If I remember correctly, after returning from the breakthrough of Liyang, the reward that King Qin gave to Heifu and their nearly 1,000 people was as high as two or three million yuan! Heifu alone got 70,000 yuan, if only a few hundred thousand dollars can inspire the morale of tens of thousands of soldiers and save hundreds of lives, it is definitely worth it! This account, he believed that King Qin and the county guard and the county lieutenant would be able to calculate it.

These things can't be mastered by the little officials, so Heifu and Chen Wuyi returned to the weaving room in the west of Jiangling City, intending to discuss it with the weaving room engineer, but as soon as they arrived at the door, they found that there were a large number of women here......

……

All the female warblers and warblers, all holding bamboo plaques, which are full of fresh mulberry leaves, are walking in the direction of the silkworm room.

Of course, Heifu would not mistake them for mulberry pickers, because these women, judging by their clothes, knew that they must have come from rich families. They consisted of a few well-dressed middle-aged women, while the rest of the women ranged from their teens to their twenties and thirties, all dressed in brocade silk clothes, or deep-sleeved robes with wide sleeves, or two-color skirts. Moreover, they also puffed incense powder and carried incense sachets, so that the whole weaving room was filled with the scent of bluegrass......

"What are these Jiangling nobles, wives and daughters doing here?" There's something strange about Heif.

"I hope that the left soldier Cao Shi will not be blamed."

Seeing that Heifu and the others were back, the weaver hurriedly came over to confess: "On the first day of the month of Ji Chun, according to the rules, from the queen and concubine to the county and county to order the wives and daughters, they all have to go to the local weaving room silkworm room to personally pick mulberry, raise silkworms, and decorate silk, which is a gift to persuade silkworms." Today, the wives and daughters of the county guards took the lead, and the wives and daughters of the families of the officials in the city came, and I was busy preparing for this matter, so I neglected ......"

Heifu suddenly realized, and the weaver left in a hurry, it turned out that it was for this matter!

He knew that during the spring ploughing in January and February, in order to show the importance attached to agricultural affairs, the king, the county guard, and the county commander had to personally go to the field to touch the plow handle, which was called "persuading the peasants." Their female dependents cannot be idle, and at the critical moment of raising silkworms in March, they must also come out to do these "women's skills" in person, showing their attitude of encouraging sericulture.

This is not a formalism, because even at home, these women who have no worries about food and clothing are encouraged to learn to weave and sew clothes, which are part of the "women's skills", and the woven clothes and silk cloth will be sent to the local lady to compare the level.

Unfortunately, when this kind of thing happened, Heifu and Chen Wuyi should avoid it, but Heifu thought: "So, the county guard's wife and daughter are also among them?" ”

His eyes swept over the flowers of the warbler and Yanyan, and he looked at the girl standing in the front row of the silkworm room, following a middle-aged noblewoman.

The girl was far away, she was dressed in a dark blue dress that matched the color of March, her white neck was slender, because she had not yet reached the curtain, so her dark hair hung down her shoulders, and at this moment she was struggling to hold a bamboo plaque full of mulberry leaves, and followed her mother into the silkworm room, and soon disappeared from view......
