: Returning to the Lost Way

Author: There are dragons in Nanshan

Back at the inspection office, Jiao Xin picked up the book and looked it carefully behind the elbow.

The first chapter is the preface made by Ge Hong himself: People can arouse faith, but they can avoid being too arrogant and their intentions can be seen. Since the great changes in heaven and earth, this preface has been lost and almost gone. If one exists in the world, how can the original intention be determined... It is the heaven, and the man engraved it on the order of the man to make it happen, and he is afraid that the sick will see it late...

Although the appearance is obvious and obscure, people's life and death are closely related. It comes from time to time, but they are filled with hidden pain and compassion. If they are anxious, they cannot bear to others. If they have the heart to bear to others, they cannot bear to others' policies. Then the benevolence of the marquis is the people... This is the person who sees my benevolence, so I see the fate in order and write it to the beginning and end to tell the unknown...

It can be seen that when Ge Hong wrote the book, he did not think about becoming famous. Instead, he faced ordinary people and used as much as possible to make the language in the book easy to understand, the prescriptions and medicines contained in them were cheap and effective, and the treatment methods were simple and easy to implement.

The so-called elbow refers to the place where the sleeves are used to hold things is just the elbow, which is named behind the elbow, which means that there are not many volumes and can be hung behind the elbow for easy carrying.

There are eight volumes and seventy-three chapters in the book. Each chapter records several or even dozens of prescriptions, most of which are used for more common sudden diseases.

For a family of imperial doctors like Jiao Xin, the prescriptions recorded in this book are too sparse and ordinary, and the medication is also messy. If you get it to the Imperial Hospital, you will probably be laughed to death.

However, if you think about it carefully, these seemingly messy things can save lives at critical moments.

"How strange, how strange!"

Jiao Xin couldn't help but start talking to himself. By this time, he had already vaguely felt something strange.

As a third-generation imperial doctor, in his understanding, medicine is extremely rigorous. The ratio of each prescription must be correct. The book says that one ounce must be one ounce, one cent more or one ounce less, which is not possible.

However, in this book, the dosage of medicinal materials is very vague. It seems that I just grab a handful of herbs from the roadside and stuff them into them randomly, even if I treat the disease.

Isn’t it nonsense to treat the disease like this?

However, after thinking, what would he do if a person suddenly became ill and was in danger of his life, and he saw a herb on the roadside, which was the life-saving medicine recorded in the back of the elbow?

At this time, who will prescribe medicine and decoct medicine for him?

The only way is to take the herbs into your stomach, take effect, save your life, and then go to the clinic to find a doctor. Only then can you prescribe the right medicine and carefully regulate it.

Even if that herb is poisonous, it will become poisonous if you eat too much. When your life is at stake, you will choose to give it a try without hesitation.

After eating, hopefully survive.

If you don’t eat, there is only a dead end!

Most of the prescriptions recorded in the back of the elbow are mainly emergency response. People do not understand medical skills or herbal medicines. They only need to follow the methods recorded in the book, and at least they can save their lives in times of crisis.

For example, in the prescription for treating cold and heat malaria, the method of stirring juice in Artemisia annua is recorded.

I only talked about Artemisia annua, which is different from men, women, old and young, big and small hands. What is this grip?

The book does not say it clearly, but no matter how much he is, you can just grab a handful and eat it anyway!

With Jiao Xin's medical background, he quickly mastered the essence of this book.

That is to prepare for emergency rescue, and there are all places.

The book highlights the characteristics of "simple, convenient and intact". The recipes collected should be collected and screened out by Ge Hong during his medical practice and travel.

Moreover, Ge Hong specially selected some medicines that are easier to obtain. They are easy to collect, cheap, and practical.

Even in mountains and villages with shortage of medical treatment or poor travel, it can be used to rescue emergency services at any time.

Even if you have to spend money, they are relatively cheap medicinal materials, which completely changed the previous problems of emergency prescriptions that are difficult to understand, difficult to find drugs, and expensive prices.

The oil lamp was exhausted and slowly went out, and the surroundings became pitch black.

Jiao Xin looked out the window. The moon was shining and the stars were sparse. Unconsciously, it was already midnight.

Without adding lamp oil, he sat blankly in the dark until dawn.

The next morning, the King of Zhou continued to take people to various villages to treat malaria.

The people drank the well water with Artemisia juice, and the disease had begun to be controlled.

However, it is still far from completely eliminating malaria.

Artemisia annua is thrown into a well, on the one hand, to temporarily alleviate malaria, and more importantly, because the people will walk around and repeatedly spread. However, no matter where they go, they have to drink water, right?

More than a dozen wells in Dongxiang were given Artemisia anesthesia, which was equivalent to the fact that the people in Dongxiang had all taken medicine. Everyone's symptoms were all alleviating, so naturally there was no infection.

Next is to prescribe the right medicine and distribute medicine to severe people.

For the people who die of illness, cremate them as soon as possible and then bury them.

A team of officers sprinkled quicklime on the street to eliminate miasma.

After sprinkling on the street, they go to sprinkle from house to house, especially in the homes of people who are infected with diseases. Lime must be carefully sprinkled with lime at the corners of the corners, once a day.

The King of Zhou was in the middle of command and ordered them to be passed down one by one, so busy that he could not make any contribution.

Inadvertently, I seemed to see a familiar figure...

The King of Zhou couldn't help but be surprised and walked forward, and saw Jiao Xin squatting in front of a big pot, concentrating on boiling medicine.

"Doctor Jiao, here is ready!"

A doctor greeted him, Jiao Xin hurried over, scooped up a spoonful and tasted it at his mouth.

"Pay attention to the heat and cook for another quarter of an hour."

"OK!"

Jiao Xin turned around, sniffed, and said to the doctor next to another pot, "You have put too much Bupleurum there!"

"What should I do?"

"Add two taels of Scutellaria baicalensis and Pinellia ternata, and add some water!"

"Okay, I'll go now."

Jiao Xin shook his head, turned around, and suddenly was stunned.

"See Your Highness!"

King Zhou asked, "Why are you here?"

Jiao Xin said seriously: "The official is here to help Your Highness rescue disasters!"

"Yeah?"

The King of Zhou was a little confused and asked, "Didn't you say that the people walked around each other and delayed your treatment?"

"No, no..."

Jiao Xin quickly changed his words and said, "It's a ignorant official, so please forgive me!"

The King of Zhou said lightly: "What crime is there?"

"Secret officials, low officials... are not good at learning skills, are arrogant and arrogant!"

“Is there any more?”

"have!"

Jiao Xin thought for a while and said, "The lower officials don't know how to adapt."

“Is there any more?”

"And... the official shouldn't contradict Your Highness!"

King Zhou sighed and said, "What you shouldn't have been reading medical books for half your life, but there is no people in your heart, and you are a doctor!"

Jiao Xin blushed and said, "The official knows he is wrong!"

The King of Zhou asked again: "I am very curious. Are you not very noble? What happened today? Why did you suddenly change your temper?"

Jiao Xin said truthfully: "The Xiaguan read the back of the elbow written by Ge Hong last night and did not sleep all night."

"Oh? Is it?"

Interest suddenly came around and asked again: "Tell me how you feel, is this book vulgar and cannot be seen by your experts?"

Jiao Xin was ashamed and said, "After reading this book, I realized that I had wasted more than forty years. As a doctor, I should take it as my responsibility to cure diseases and save others. What medical books and principles are all empty talk. In front of the people, as long as I can save lives, I am a good doctor!"

"very good!"

King Zhou nodded and said, "Now you should understand why the emperor wants to rectify the Imperial Hospital?"

Jiao Xin said: "The Imperial Hospital upholds the emperor's kindness, but is conservative and does not want to innovate. It only seeks the false reputation on its head. However, no one is willing to give up his identity and do things for the people. It is time to rectify it."

King Zhou sighed softly and said, "You are a person who has been well-read poetry and books since childhood, and they are quick-witted. It is beyond the reach of people. If you can keep the people in mind and do more things that benefit the country and the people, wouldn't it be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty? But he held medical books and refused to let go. No matter how many books you read, you don't know how to adapt to things and don't know how to walk with the times?"

"What Your Highness taught is that the lower officials have received the teachings!"

Jiao Xin has changed a lot today. The arrogant look of the past has long disappeared. In the place, there is indescribable shame.

The King of Zhou looked around and said, "It's important to save people now, let's talk about it when you return to Beijing!"

"The emperor will do his best to assist His Highness!"

"You are just here watching the medicine pot, I am not at ease with the rest!"

"yes!"

Zhu Ji, not far away, mingled among the crowd, quietly took out the charcoal pen and paper, recorded Jiao Xin's every move, and then put it in his arms.

After a series of combinations of King Zhou, malaria was effectively controlled.
