Chapter Twenty-Three: Manganese Equals Money
On the cabinet of the pharmacy, there are complex names written in traditional Chinese, studying the Song Dynasty, and he is quite familiar with the words of the Song Dynasty, but he has not studied Chinese medicine, he does not know the difference between the ancient texts of inorganic substances and the names of later generations, except for one or two common Chinese medicines, I know what they are, and the others do not know, he doesn't even know if he has found a suitable inorganic substance, because he has no time to carefully summarize, but there is one point, Mi here is a relatively comprehensive and perfect Chinese medicine store, with the height of the development of Chinese medicine in the Song Dynasty, There should be all kinds of inorganic things, as long as he searches carefully and doesn't miss any of them, it's no problem to light up the relevant cards, which is also why Zhao Xin stopped the little guy and stayed in this Chinese medicine store for more time.

Entering the Chinese medicine store, the bigger surprise also made Zhao Xin overjoyed, this pharmacy, it seems to be not simple, in addition to ordinary medicinal materials and raw materials, there are actually medicines, Zhao Xin as a doctor, has seen the relevant historical research, Chinese medicine is not Zhao Xin's research aspect, but also temporarily dabbled, read the relevant papers, there are many historians believe that the Chinese medicine is just a secret recipe for a family, there is no large-scale production and sales, which has also been recognized by many experts, the status of Chinese medicine is not low, But it depends on what it is compared with, in the eyes of historians, except for a few people, such as Sun Simiao, Zhang Zhongjing, Li Shizhen, who can write works with great influence on traditional Chinese medicine, they will leave a mark in history, and other Chinese medicine with great influence in a certain dynasty or a certain period of time has no record at all, let alone traditional Chinese medicine.
History will dissolve them under the loess, but in front of them, this Chinese medicine store has proved with iron-like facts that in the Song Dynasty, Chinese medicine has been quite developed, and the hundreds of medicines in this pharmacy cannot be a secret recipe, obviously, a certain scale and system have been formed.
Water pills and honey pills, which are the two types of medicines, can effectively lock the active ingredients, easy to take, without a lot of time to boil, especially for some minor diseases and common diseases, and the same as the standing medicine of later generations, has become one of the ordinary commodities, the same is true of this Chinese medicine store, from some large Chinese medicine stores, purchase such medicines, distribution and wholesale, has a business model for later generations.
Even handicrafts are a separate card, these ancient prescription medicines, of course, are also, the subtleties of traditional Chinese medicine, the subtleties of the adjustment, is a completely different medicine, the way of application is completely different, the various medicinal materials have been boiled, the active ingredients in it, after a special boiling, and finally formed pills, ointments, structure and form, has changed, become another thing, the card can also be lit up.
As many as hundreds of kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, not only provides a large number of lit numbers, in front of the basic number of 10,000 upgrades, three or four hundred is already a big increase, equivalent to three or four percent, equivalent to a month of the basic number of lights per day, the most important thing is that the drug itself also has a huge effect, for example, hemostatic dispersion, marching pills and the like, specially used for military drugs.
Compared with weapons, which can only be restricted to the use of war, the control of the imperial court is quite strict, but the others are not so strict, and medicines are also among them, otherwise, the marching pill that has a great effect on the army, hemostasis, can also be sold in the store in a grand manner, perhaps, in this era, the important role of medicine has not been recognized.
Medicine in later generations, is one of the important strategic materials, indispensable in the war, without enough medicines, can not save more lives, the mortality rate of injuries and diseases increases, will greatly reduce morale, will also affect the combat effectiveness of an army, the elite of the rest of the battle, even if nothing, is stronger than the strength of the recruit eggs, in the battlefield role, this is particularly formula, there are a variety of roles, which can be used for military purposes, it is not uncommon.
For the Chinese medicine store, Zhao Xin is very satisfied, Chinese medicine plus medicine, completed 600 times of lighting, but also contributed to Zhao Xin hundreds of medicines and dozens of inorganic substances, Zhao Xin turned around twice in the store, and strive not to leave any kind, these important things, any one is missing, maybe there is one less chemical output, there is one less drug for a certain type of disease, the Chinese medicine store has risen to a certain height, a height that is very different from other cards.
It took a quarter of an hour in the Chinese medicine store, with this effort, it is enough to turn more than 30 stores, and the harvest is also amazing, Chinese medicine medicine, plus some sundries, abacus, medicine scales, etc., and a small number of medicines, all of a sudden 900 kinds of lights, which made Zhao Xin smile almost from ear to ear, big harvest, a Chinese medicine shop, dozens of other ones, this is not more than half, it has passed 5000, it seems that it is possible to upgrade, at least, greatly reducing the difficulty of upgrading.
Because there was not much danger in the pharmacy, Zhao Xin even asked the little guy to put him down, because he saw that next to the cabinet and under a large pile of medicines, there seemed to be some stone-like things, which looked like mineral rough stones, and some white powders, some like inorganic salts, because it was far away, the little guy didn't take him over, and now that he saw it, he must light it up.
Sure enough, there are more than a dozen, as he expected, this is an ore type of medicine, and it is the kind that does not deteriorate, casually found some bags, piled them aside, here is more than a meter away from any aisle, Zhao Xin also crossed a few medicines, only then did he get closer, and saw a series of lights, it really helped a lot, if he was a little careless, he would miss it, because in a series of lights, he saw a familiar name, miscanthus salt.
If you say, in the inorganic Chinese medicine, there is one he is familiar with, that is, miscanthus salt, starting from the doctor, he traveled more throughout the country, an excavation of ancient tombs, may take a few days, or even more than ten days, water and soil and irregular diet, indigestion is a common thing, he himself is taking medicine, and then there is an old professor, so that he can use a little miscanthus salt, with several other flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, grinding and taking, the effect is good, he also wrote down the name of miscanthus salt, and also checked what he is.
Miscanthus nitrate is a natural mineral, very early use of the important, chemistry has a scientific name sodium sulfate decahydrate, will be in the air, slowly dehydrated, into sodium sulfate, this is also a more famous sulfate inorganic salt, in the chemical industry, there are many uses, such as the production of soda ash, the earliest alkali method, is to use salt and sulfuric acid reaction, the generation of sodium sulfate to make soda ash, because of the corrosiveness of sulfuric acid, the yield is not high, but if there is a sufficient amount of miscanthus salt, minus the sulfuric acid reaction, For the difficulty of processing and production, it will be greatly reduced, even if the purity of the soda ash produced is not high, the cost is large, but it is also the most basic method of manufacturing two alkalis that can be thought of at present.
Whether it is soda ash or caustic soda, it has a huge effect on the traverser, but it is better than turning stone into gold and excellent alchemy, because soap is the saponification reaction of caustic soda and grease, as for glass, it is just the melting and casting reaction of soda ash and silica, limestone, etc., these simplest chemical manufacturing, Zhao Xin is very clear, and it is also the doorway to make money, but the key to restricting him is whether he can find natural soda ash, or raw material first-class inorganic salt, now with miscanthus salt, everything is not a problem, at least, A huge way to make money has appeared, and this is probably the correct way to use cards to make money.
After more than a dozen inorganic salts of traditional Chinese medicine were lit, there was no other harvest in the Chinese medicine store, and here was also the last part to be lit, after Zhao Xin confirmed it again and again, this came out, a miscanthus salt, has allowed him to solve the most critical money problem, it may take a while of exploration, but the problem is not big, basic chemical knowledge is fine, other inorganic substances, there may be greater gains.
The Chinese medicine store was delayed a little time, almost a quarter of an hour, but the harvest was huge, a store, actually obtained the total amount of the previous ten, or even a dozen stores, a big step forward, even if a lot of time was wasted, it was worth it, not to mention such a big harvest as miscanthus salt.
Zhao Xinxin is very good, stepping out of the Chinese medicine store, is also brisk, when being picked up by the little guy, quickly cut into the card system, very satisfied, the total number of lights has exceeded 5000, more than half of the task, there are many shops and other places in the city, if you are lucky, it is not a problem to upgrade in one fell swoop.
