Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

"After cold, there is fever. The more obvious the chill, the more high the fever. Some are restless and moaning; some are delirium, empty, even convulsing or unconscious; some have severe headaches and stubborn vomiting. Patients Red face and shortness of breath; conjunctiva congestion; skin burning and dryness; pulse rapid and rapid; frequent complaints of palpitations, thirst, and desire for cold drinks.

"After high fever, the face and palms are slightly sweaty, and then it spreads all over the body, sweating profusely, and the clothes are soaked. The body temperature drops for about an hour. The patient feels comfortable, but very sleepy, and often falls asleep peacefully. When he wakes up, he is energetic and wants to eat. "These symptoms are typical of malaria!" Zhuge Xuan looked at Qin Hao and wrote lightly in the middle of the village.

"Don't do it without saying anything next time."

"promise!"

Despite the calm demeanor of the two of them, Qin Hao was so angry when he just came in that he wanted to take out his saber and chop the guy in front of him to death.

Fortunately, Zhuge Xuan explained in time and Qin Hao gave up his murderous intention.

Qin Hao and the cavalry and slashing soldiers were specially modified by the system. Otherwise, Qin Hao's physical body would have traveled directly through time. With the 21st century bacteria on his body, he would have been a "poisonous person" in this world. Not surprisingly, in the 17th century Only if more than 95% of the people are killed or injured can some individuals develop immunity and survive, the whole "Pure Land Plan".

Fortunately, thanks to the transformation of the system, people in the 17th century were able to avoid this disaster. Therefore, physical time travel is very unfriendly to the indigenous people.

At the same time, Qin Hao and the others will not get any diseases because of this, and these malaria viruses cannot do anything to them. This is why Zhuge Xuan dared to come in to check.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

"You didn't even ask!"

"That means I won't even catch a cold in my life."

"Yeah, yeah, that's about it." Zhuge Xuan shook the green hairband on his head with a smile on his face.

"Where are the patients?" Qin Hao asked. Even if they won't get sick, it would be tragic if Li Yi and others were still in the village and were infected.

"There are not many people, only 5 people. I have already ordered the Shuntian Death Soldiers to place them at the end of the village."

Qin Hao followed the direction of Zhuge Xuan's finger and saw the three bamboo houses at the end of the village. The doors were guarded by soldiers.

"How did they get infected?" Qin Hao asked.

"Malaria is mainly prevalent in the tropics and subtropics. Lingnan, Guangxi, Annan, Siam, and Taiwan have always been areas prone to warm malaria, especially in summer and autumn. There is a chance of getting infected by mosquito bites and drinking raw water.

Moreover, these refugees have just arrived on the island and are not accustomed to the acclimatization, which greatly increases the chance of getting sick. "

"At what stage?" Zhuge Xuan just mentioned so many symptoms, and Qin Hao didn't know the actual condition of the disease.

"It's pretty good. I'm currently running a high fever, but it's not life-threatening yet."

Fortunately, Zhuge Xuan came to Zhulin Village today to resolve the issue. He happened to hear someone reporting that someone had malaria, so he hurried to take a look.

It is indeed malaria. This disease is not uncommon in Taiwan and there is basically no mistaking it.

"Is there any way to cure it?"

"Don't Your Highness know this method?" Zhuge Xuan nodded his head in a conspiratorial manner.

At this time, Qin Hao had made up his mind and finally understood what Zhuge Xuan meant. He patted his thigh and said, "Qinghaosu!"

Isn’t this the most valuable Nobel Prize for future generations in our country, the miracle drug that has cured countless malaria-like illnesses?

"Hurry up and find someone to look for Artemisia annua there!" Qin Hao urged. He had read a report about what to do if there was no such high-concentration modern medicine.

The old man gave the answer that drinking wormwood water can cure the disease, and he said nonchalantly that this was the wisdom of the ancients. Later, someone said that he was a wise man, but Qin Hao couldn't stand it, so he threw the "Compendium of Materia Medica" over and sneered, "I'll give you a copy, and you can get it out and try it." The man was instantly speechless.

Indeed, it is explained in the Compendium of Materia Medica: Artemisia annua is specialized in relieving bone steaming and labor-heat. It can especially relieve the heat caused by summer heat. It can relieve the heat of heat without consuming Qi and blood. It can be used as a medicine to supplement Qi and blood. It can perform great feats and can be used by kings and ministers. , and it can be used as an assistant or a helper, so it is all appropriate.

And I didn’t know that this medical book mentioned:

To treat malaria and cold and heat: soak one handful of Artemisia annua with two liters of water, wring out the juice and drink it all. ("Filling the gap behind the elbow")

To treat chronic malaria caused by fatigue: pound Artemisia annua into juice, decoct it, and drink it as usual. ("A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" Huanghao Wine)

These are prescriptions that have been verified by countless people throughout the ages, but today’s Chinese medicine has almost become a vassal of Western medicine and various auxiliary medical devices, and has almost completely lost the basic skills of seeing, hearing, asking, and doing things.

Few people can seriously study the things left by their ancestors, which leaves them with countless things to talk about. There are even some incompetent guys who play with mysticism and sell mung beans under the guise of traditional Chinese medicine.

To use that famous internet saying: There are no useless martial arts spirits, only useless soul masters.

"After discovering it, I sent someone to get it. The patient has already taken it, and the effect is good. After drinking it, he fell asleep smoothly, and his fever has basically gone away."

I have to say that this Artemisia annua is definitely a great tool for treating malaria. Not only is it easy to eat, you can squeeze out the juice and mix it with water and feed it, it is also cheap. You can see it everywhere on the sand at the seaside and on the edge of the woods in the back mountains. It doesn’t cost anything. Strength to find.

Of course, Qin Hao is not the only method that can treat malaria. There is also a medicine called cinchona that can also treat malaria. However, although this medicine is much better in efficacy than Artemisia annua, its popularity is far behind.

Cinchona frost is taken from the Cinchona tree. The growth period of this tree is about 10 years. The medicinal effect is not the tree itself, but the bark. The bark is removed during the rainy season from November to December every year and is dried in the sun the following year. Only after these treatments can the maximum medicinal effect be achieved.

When Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty contracted malaria, which could not be cured by traditional Chinese medicine, a few missionaries brought Cinchona Shuang into the palace and cured him. Later, in order to express their favor, they allowed the introduction of this medicine.

But this kind of medicine is expensive and can only be enjoyed by high-ranking officials. Ordinary people cannot afford it. They have to rely on their willpower to carry it. It will be fine if they can get through it. If they can't get through it, they will be in a grave.

"That's good." Knowing that the patient had taken the medicine, Qin Hao relaxed a little and was no longer as worried as before.

However, he still reminded Zhuge Xuan: "It is better to let the villagers stay here first and not run around. They will be released after the illness is cured. Also, let's collect more Artemisia annua and boil it into soup for everyone under treatment to drink."

"Any other suggestions?" Qin Hao looked at Zhuge Xuan, the think tank, and that was all he could think of.

"Drink hot water, fix toilets, and take showers frequently."

"Such a good method! Why didn't I think of it?" Qin Hao was very sorry. As a person of later generations, he didn't think of it. Could this be darkness under the lamp?

Good advice should be implemented immediately!

So he said to the guard: "Write these words for me in big letters with lime on the house at the end of the village."

At the same time, he told Zhuge Xuan: "From now on, I will leave all this matter to you. Supervise me carefully. If anyone dares to disobey, he will be punished with hard labor without any worries."

This is a century-old plan that benefits the people. It cannot be completely transformed in one generation, but it must start from now on, and Qin Hao will not allow anyone to violate it.
