Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 83 My second cobbler will also have a day to sew a living person? (seeking subscription)
Chen Chuwu is a skilled craftsman and the head craftsman in the scientific research institute, he can be regarded as a small leader in the compound.

But Chen Chuwu has never dared to regard himself as a leader, let alone that he has no fame, and he doesn't even know a few big characters. Slack, you can only work overtime every day to be worthy of so much wages.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of Hongwu, when everyone else was still on vacation, Chen Chuwu brought the craftsmen to the Science Research Institute and continued to work.

A group of people worked overtime to make hand-operated printing machines. After all, the printing industry is definitely in short supply, and the higher the efficiency, the better.

In addition to the printing press, there are also firearm improvement drawings given by His Royal Highness King Liao, which are also under overtime research and development.

However, after Chen Chuwu came back this time, he found that there was an extra courtyard next to the Science and Technology Research Institute, with a sign on it: Institute of Biology!

Um?What kind of place is this?

Chen Chuwu inquired with Shopkeeper He, and Shopkeeper He said mysteriously:
"Do you know who is in the Institute of Biology?"

"Who?"

"Speaking out scares you to death, it's Liu Bowen's clever plan!"

When Chen Chuwu heard this, he was taken aback. He never expected that Liu Bowen would start working for His Royal Highness King Liao. Then shopkeeper He mentioned that the Institute of Biology was going to develop a new drug that could treat ulcer disease. .

Canker?This is a good thing, our Royal Highness Liao Wang is really powerful, he understands everything.

It's just different from Chen Chuwu's impression that a bunch of doctors grab all kinds of herbs and torment them. The Biology Research Institute next to it doesn't smell of any medicine, and it doesn't make a fire to cook anything. Thick face towels, and then all the things that are moved in and out are rice, yams, various earthen pots, cotton, toner and the like.

I even saw someone pushing a cart full of weird herbs, and after asking, I realized that it was seaweed, which was picked up from the sea and transported here in a hurry.

Not only that, but Chen Chuwu also saw some strange fermented and moldy things by chance, which were sent in bottles and jars, and he didn't know what they were for.

Come and go, why does it seem to be a winery?
In fact, Chen Chuwu guessed more than half of it right, because although His Royal Highness Liao Wang asked Liu Bowen to take the lead in supervision, the people working under him were all people from several brewing workshops.

At this time in the early Ming Dynasty, there were not a few large-scale workshops, and most of them were family-based workshops. Therefore, Zhu Qi could only hire people from the imperial winery, which is the so-called Huangzhuang. Hire someone.

Since it was for the manufacture of antibiotics, Prince Zhu Biao naturally approved all of them, but it was just craftsmen in some breweries, so what's the difficulty?

Zhu Qi is also a special person to do special work. If you want to say who is the most professional in diluting, filtering, washing, and preparing distilled water, it is definitely not Zhu Qi during the Hongwu period, but the artisans of these wineries. Don’t they do these things every day? In actual operation, each of them is absolutely professional-level.

Of course, when preparing antibiotics, some points must be paid attention to, such as paying attention to personal hygiene, everyone must wear a headgear, gloves, not to contaminate the petri dish, and to wear a face towel, and try to stay away from it during operation Petri dishes, don't inhale Penicillium, etc.

Anyway, Zhu Qina has pointed out the points that should be paid attention to in detail. With the operation of these professionals and the supervision of Liu Bowen, it will be very easy for Zhu Qi. If you have nothing to do, come and have a look. The rest is to wait results.

And Liu Bowen did not disappoint Zhu Qi. Soon under his supervision, the first batch of antibiotics prepared using the local method of the "Military Training Manual" was successfully completed!

Because the antibiotics are obtained by the local fermentation method, not by chemical synthesis, the final product is not in the form of crystalline particles, but in a liquid-like form.

Of course, if conditions permit, chemical synthesis is definitely better. Compared with antibiotics obtained by fermentation, they are more efficient, more stable in structure, less toxic and safer.

As for whether the antibiotics prepared by indigenous methods are effective, Zhu Qi doesn't know. He only knows the theory and has no actual experiments. If he wants to know the effect, he must do human experiments.

Speaking of doing human experiments, it was a little bit embarrassing for a while, because there were no injuries in the imperial city, but Zhu Qi was not troubled, so he directly posted a notice in Yingtian Mansion, saying that there is a kind of A new drug for the treatment of ulcer disease has come out, and it is hoped that patients suffering from ulcer disease will be recruited to try the drug for free.

There are so many people in Ying Tianfu, there must be cases where someone's family has an accident, scratches the body, and accidentally contracted ulcer disease.

But ordinary people are actually a little panicked about this kind of experimentation of new drugs, just like modern people, if I tell you to experiment with a new drug that does not know its effect, would you be willing to go?
Even those who are terminally ill are more willing to undergo some conservative treatment at this time.

But soon someone heard the news, saying that the new drug was developed by His Royal Highness Liao Wang, and he had rescued a person suffering from ulcer disease before, and that person was alive and kicking within a few days!
When the common people heard it, good guy, is it a new drug developed by His Royal Highness Liao Wang?Who is His Royal Highness King Liao, the Wenqu star who descended from the sky!

People measured a mountain within a stick of incense. Those who watched His Royal Highness King Liao measure Zijin Mountain on the spot would say that they saw gods descending to earth.

Not only that, His Royal Highness King Liao can predict the future, how cunning those horsemen of Beiyuan are, they are going to attack Yanmen Pass, something that no one has thought of, it is so strange, His Royal Highness Liao Wang actually knew it in advance!

He traveled all night and led the army to a decisive battle in Yunzhongshan. With only a small team of 2000 people, he beat the 4000-odd army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the ground without any casualties. This is not a god, can he achieve such a record?

But someone immediately raised a question and said:
"No, I heard that the version of the Battle of Yunzhongshan is not like this."

As soon as the man finished speaking, some common people raised their hands. Fortunately, the man quickly said:
"I heard that His Royal Highness King Liao led more than 4000 cavalry, rushed to kill the formation, entered seven times and exited seven times, and the army of more than [-] Beiyuan was wiped out in an instant!"

Good guy, the slap he just raised immediately slapped the opponent's shoulder, and he patted the opponent in relief, that's right, this is my good citizen of Daming.

The common people didn't say much, and spread the news quickly to see if anyone had ulcers, and quickly pulled them over for treatment, maybe they would be cured for His Royal Highness Liao Wang?

Zhu Qi didn't know at all at this time that the announcement he sent out was a drug developed in the name of the court, but the common people knew privately that it was developed by His Royal Highness King Liao. The news spread quickly, and within two days two hundred people came. Incoming wounded.

These wounded and sick, without exception, were all due to various reasons, resulting in extensive trauma, some infected with canker, some just started to show symptoms, and some were burned and unconscious, and the wounds were full of pus scab.

There are also some who don't want to spend money to hire a doctor, and use local methods to treat trauma, such as window ash on the window to smear the wound, and ash on the threshold to smear the wound.

That really made Zhu Qiqi laugh when he heard it. Apart from aggravating the wound infection, this dust also has a fart effect?The point is that some people don't have common sense, and even regard those messy treatment methods as classics.

Zhu Qi just read a piece of news about a man who was burnt, and his family even covered the man's burn with sand, saying that the sand can heal the burn, and besides aggravating the condition and causing infection, it has little effect?What do you mean it's not mentally handicapped?
It’s okay for ancient people to have no common sense. It’s the 21st century. Those who have received compulsory education still believe in these things. How is it different from those in India who believe in cow urine to cure cancer?

Every time he saw these lack of common sense, Zhu Qina was so angry that he couldn't breathe.

So, the worst thing is anti-intellectualism, but whenever you see this kind of behavior, you must resolutely resist it.

Seeing the various treatment behaviors of these common people, Zhu Qi couldn't speak out in anger, but this is not the time for popularizing science and common sense. Seeing the various patients who were sent here, Zhu Qi didn't talk nonsense either. , Immediately people began to use new methods to heal.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang came to the scene in ordinary clothes, and brought a group of imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital along with him. How did these imperial doctors know about Zhu Qi's new treatment method.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liao King Zhu Qizheng ordering someone to help a man with a big gash on his thigh to uncover the blood scab. An imperial doctor couldn't help but said:

"Your Highness, his wound has finally begun to heal. If the blood scab is uncovered at this time, the injury may worsen. Why don't we brew more medicine to eliminate ulcer disease."

Although the other imperial doctors did not speak, they also thought so in their hearts. They did not have bad intentions, it was simply that the medical skills they learned were taught in this way. Carrion, the rest is ignored, and there is no way to manage it.

Zhu Qi pointed to the patient's thigh and said:
"You can see that the area around the wound is black, and there is still a foul smell, which means that the blood scab has been festered and rotted, and the patient has already burned to the point of coma, not to mention drinking medicine, and even water can't be fed. Hurry up and deal with it, I don’t know how many days I can live.”

Zhu Qi also did not expect that so many critically ill patients were sent, but the ancient ulcer disease was indeed like this, if it developed into a sepsis, it would be a disaster.

Seeing what His Royal Highness Liao Wang said, those imperial doctors really couldn't do anything about it. When the disease developed to such a degree, all they could do was improve their quality.

Since it can't be saved, we can only watch His Royal Highness Liao Wang come down to play.

Taking this patient as an example, His Royal Highness King Liao quickly ordered the arranged special medical personnel to prepare to do it.

Soon a lean middle-aged man came out, with dark skin and quick hands and feet. One of the imperial doctors knew him. Good guy, isn't this the second cobbler in Yizhuang! ?
The second cobbler didn't expect to see an old acquaintance, so he smiled embarrassedly. He has dealt with the corpses of dead people all his life, and he is responsible for stitching the corpses full-time. , all came to ask them to sew it up.

The technique is exquisite, not only the flesh, but also the bones are fixed for you. Except for the surrounding string, it looks as if it has not been broken.

At the beginning, Zhu Qi wanted to find a cobbler to do it, but when professionals heard that they were going to sew flesh, they should find a second cobbler!They are more professional than the average job!
Zhu Qiyi heard the introduction from others, good guy, maybe these two cobblers are experts in ancient surgery?Although their surgical targets are all dead people, they are one of the few groups in this world who know the human body very well.

The second cobbler did not expect that he would be able to sew living people one day. In fact, his occupation is very unlucky. If anyone has a happy event on weekdays, he will never call him. Even if he is called, he will not go Yes, after all, who is not particular about it.

The two cobblers were also afraid of their own bad luck, so they came to help people sew skins. If someone died, would they be considered their own at that time, but His Royal Highness Liao Wang waved his hand and said:

"You guys used to sew up corpses, but now the king calls you here to save lives and to experiment with new treatments. Since it is a new treatment, there is nothing you can do if there is a death or injury. Don't put any pressure on me. How did you sew before?" How to sew now."

His Royal Highness Liao Wang said so, and the two cobblers naturally let go of their burdens.

At this time, he brought professional tools, and then asked everyone to stand back and put on those who could wear face masks. This was not his common medical knowledge. He was afraid of infecting patients or being infected by patients. It was purely a professional habit.

Corpses can easily cause illness in normal people, which is the so-called corpse poison. As a second-hand cobbler, he naturally pays attention to everything.

After some preparations, he brought various sterilized utensils and disinfected his hands with 75-degree alcohol before he began to operate.

As soon as the blood scab was lifted with a tool, the nose was filled with a rancid smell. Sure enough, under the large blood scab, pus had begun to rot. I have seen rotten ones, this is a ball.

Those imperial doctors are also well-informed, and they are all watching intently at this time, and the rest of the ordinary people are all pale with fright, Zhu Qi saw this scene, good guy, isn't this the famous public surgery scene in the history of modern medicine ?

A large group of people surrounded the doctor to watch the operation process, which is not a dark scene in the development of Western medicine in modern history.

Unexpectedly, it was reproduced in the first month of the eighth year of Hongwu. It seems that human medical progress needs to go a certain way.

Surgery in modern history was performed in theaters, and tickets were even sold publicly. When it comes to public surgery, one person has to be mentioned, that is the famous "flying knife" Robert Liston, with a 300% fatality rate in one operation.

Of course, this is just rumored to deliberately blackmail Robert Liston. Anyone who has studied medicine knows that Robert Liston's contribution to modern medicine is unparalleled.

Compared with surgeons generally talking and laughing to help patients break legs and hands, and the whole theater screamed again and again, Robert Liston paid great attention to patients' feelings. He not only standardized surgical instruments, emphasized a sterile environment, and even "flying The title of "knife" was also forced to make the patient suffer as little as possible when there was no anesthesia at that time.

Those two cobblers didn't know what a great pioneer of modern medical care they were doing.

He followed what he had learned. After removing the blood scab, he began to drain the pus and blood, and then scraped off the carrion. The patient who was comatose with burns woke up from the sudden pain. Fortunately, he was bitten earlier. He took a piece of wood, and there were three strong men beside him to fix him.

Even so, they screamed again and again.

There is no way, Mafeisan has been lost, otherwise there would be no pain after eating ten thousand Mafeisan.

The second cobbler was quick with his hands and feet. After quickly removing the rotten black meat, he began to repeatedly disinfect the surrounding skin, and then began to put the skin and flesh together for stitching.

For those who saw this scene for the first time, it was quite bloody and violent.

While sewing, the patient fainted from the pain again, which was considered a good thing for him.

After the stitches are finished, the most critical injection of antibiotics.

There is no needle in this idea, but it doesn’t matter, there are still many substitutes. The goose quill is a natural needle, but it is a little thicker. The patient must be in pain for a long time, but there is no way. It cannot be done in the short term.

However, metal syringes can still be done. In fact, the earliest metal syringes appeared in the 67th century, but metal syringes are easy to corrode. In the future, it is better to develop glass syringes. it's the same.

The antibiotics that had been prepared were injected into the patient's body. Because the patient's condition was more serious, he chose a medium dose of injection. After that, he observed the situation every day, and then increased or decreased the dose as appropriate.

There is no way, under the current conditions, we can only try step by step in the spirit of experimentation.

The common people were terrified when they saw it. Zhu Qi was also watching with sweat on his forehead. Zhu Yuanzhang was very calm. Those who have been on the battlefield are well-informed. Seeing that the second cobbler finished the operation, Zhu Yuanzhang asked someone to take care of the doctor Suffering, make records, and report the situation at any time.

All that remains to be done is to wait, either to wait for the patient to die or to keep the patient alive.

At the scene, there were still one or two hundred patients waiting for treatment, but many people saw their faces turn pale, and they probably wanted to run away, but who would dare to run away when the emperor is here?

Those imperial doctors also looked at each other in blank dismay. It was the first time they had seen this kind of medical method after practicing medicine for so many years.

They can scrape the flesh, but it is the first time I have seen the second cobbler to sew the flesh and then inject things.

Does this really, really work?
