Xia Hongsheng made a preparation plan that night, which was not completed until the second half of the night, so he slept directly in the inner room of the study for one night.

Early the next morning, Xia Hongsheng woke up from the heat, and when he went out to let the morning breeze blow, he felt extremely refreshed, and the heat and dryness finally subsided.

But I couldn't sleep anymore.

simply went out early in the morning, called Qi Yong, who had already finished practicing, and the two of them went to the Fang City for breakfast, and then went straight to the Taiyi Bureau.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Taiyi Bureau, I saw that Taiyi He was walking out with a letter, and he had just come out.

"Oops, Young Master Xia!" Imperial Physician He stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "This is really a coincidence, I was about to go to the mansion to ask if the young master was in Chang'an or Jingyang." ”

"Oh? What a coincidence! Xia Hongsheng also smiled: "I don't know what happened to Doctor He?" ”

"Daochang Sun sent back a letter, bringing great news, and the lower official was about to tell the young master." Mrs. He raised the envelope in Yang's hand and handed it to Xia Hongsheng.

"But the pox method has worked?" Xia Hongsheng didn't need to read the letter, he knew that it was sent back by Sun Simiao, so he thought of the content inside.

Imperial Physician He nodded: "Exactly!" After Sun Daochang arrived in Lingnan, he immediately began to experiment with the method of planting cowpox. At that time, smallpox had spread to five cities, and more than 7,000 people had died. The Taoist sent the people of the special combat team to look for the pox cow, and found the pox cow, but he couldn't find anyone who was willing to experiment. It was the people of those special combat teams who were willing to take the risk to give Sun Daochang an experiment, but Sun Daochang remembered that they were elite soldiers, and it was already risking his life to accompany him into the epidemic area, so he couldn't bear to experiment with them again, so he simply gave himself a pox - Sun Daochang's medical ethics, a model for my generation! ”

Xia Hongsheng took the letter and looked down, and at the same time listened to Doctor He say: "After that, Sun Daochang ate and lived with the person suffering from smallpox, and got along day and night. Only then did the locals believe that pox could prevent smallpox. At the beginning, the pox cow was not enough, and the refined scab powder was not enough, so the government bought a lot of cattle, put them together with the pox cow to make it infected, and then refined the scab powder, so far, more than 10,000 people in the local area have been vaccinated with cowpox, and smallpox has not continued to spread. ”

Xia Hongsheng also bowed his head and read the letter at this time, and the content in it was basically what Taiyi He said. The letter also said that Sun Simiao was already preparing to return to Chang'an, and asked Imperial Physician He to look for pox cattle near Chang'an, and he himself would bring some scab powder, and after returning, he would immediately implement the method of planting pox to eliminate smallpox.

"The great doctor is sincere!" Xia Hongsheng remembered the article Sun Simiao wrote before Qianjinfang, and sighed: "In the future, I will separate the medical school from Jingyang Academy, erect a statue of Sun Daochang, and then engrave this book on the pedestal!" ”

"Grandpa is very good!" Imperial Physician He also sighed: "By the way, I don't know what happened when the young master came to the Imperial Medical Bureau today?" ”

"Is there one thing, or is it a big thing," Xia Hongsheng said, "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

The two entered the Taiyi Bureau, and when they arrived at the house, they retreated left and right, and only Taiyi He and Xia Hongsheng were left.

"The Great Food Kingdom came down to the Tang Dynasty and declared war with the Tang Dynasty, how can the Imperial Doctor know about this matter?" Xia Hongsheng asked.

Imperial Physician He nodded: "I heard that Your Majesty has said this at the court meeting today. ”

"A year later, I will lead the Datang Naval Division to sail to Persia, and with the power of the Naval Division, I will wipe out the Great Food Country Naval Division, and control the sea area around the Great Eclipse in the hands of the Great Tang Dynasty." Xia Hongsheng said again.

Doctor He was taken aback: "This ...... The young master informed the subordinate about this, but he was afraid that it would not be suitable......"

"It's okay, I can trust Doctor He." Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and said, "Since it is a long voyage, you must stay at sea for a long time. Conditions at sea are extremely limited, and the open sea is far from the harbor, making it difficult to replenish supplies. At that time, the officers and sailors on the ship were not well nourished and were prone to illness. There are military doctors on board, and it is not difficult to diagnose ordinary patients. However, the ships are limited, and the space on board must be carefully arranged to carry armaments and daily necessities. This herb also needs to be carefully cared for. However, this time, the sailor will be dispatched thousands of miles, and there will be a lot of people, and this medicinal herb ......"

"What does Young Master Xia mean is that the soldiers go out on the expedition, there are a large number of people, the ship has to carry people, and all kinds of materials, and I am worried that the medicinal materials that need to be carried will not be helpful if there is less, it will not be enough, and if there are more, I can't bring so many supply ships?" After listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, Taiyi He guessed Xia Hongsheng's problem.

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "Not only that, the sea is changing rapidly, and it is not as good as on land, you can place the barracks, and the wounded soldiers will be raised in the barracks." In case of war, all ships need to move at any time, and it is also very inconvenient to boil medicine. ”

"That's a problem." Imperial Physician He frowned and said, "Ordinary sailors are dispatched, bringing more food and water, and there are indeed not many medicinal materials. However, it is not too far from the harbor, and it is convenient to replenish it. This big food country is thousands of miles away, and it will take a lot of time to be at sea, and there are no vegetables and vegetables at sea, so it is indeed easy to get sick. It's easy to get sick, but you can't bring too many medicinal herbs, which is really troublesome. ”

"I have a solution to this." Xia Hongsheng looked like Zhuge Kongming, and said with a smile: "Not only that, this method may also provide great convenience for people in the world." ”

"Oh?" Imperial Physician He's face was happy, he knew Xia Hongsheng's ability, whether it was the affairs of the court or the people's livelihood, every time he said such a thing, he had never lost his words.

Doctor He sat up straight: "I don't know what the method is?" ”

"The medicine is prepared and boiled, and then made into dry powder granules by some means, after the medicine is made into granules, a pot of liquid medicine is only a handful after being concentrated into granules. When needed, put the pellets in a cup, rinse down with hot water, and the pellets will dissolve into the water, and you can drink them. It is convenient to receive and easy to drink medicine. ”

"For the same disease, sometimes there are more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials needed. There will be many more meals. These herbs alone require several large packages. When drinking medicine, it needs to be boiled for a long time before it can be drunk. Xia Hongsheng continued: "And this granule powder method distributes the drugs for the treatment of such diseases in advance, boils them into granules, and puts them into small paper packets. It's just a handful in the palm of your hand. Packed into a small bag, you can take away several days' worth of medicine with one hand, how convenient it is to carry! When drinking medicine, there is no need to boil it for half a day, just open a small packet, pour it into water, stir it slightly and drink it. ”

"This ......," Doctor He thought for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about how to make this ...... Granule granules, just ordinary medicines, all must be symptomatic to people, even if it is the same disease, the patients are different, the amount of each medicinal material required in it is also different, all of them must be added or subtracted, how can they be made into medicine in advance? If it is done in advance, the ratio must be fixed, how to deal with the symptoms? ”
