Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 858 The Mistake of Medicinal Use
After Ma Zhou left, Chang'an remained the same.

Qin Tian is still the same.

His life has gradually become much calmer. Apart from going to court every day, he is dealing with some things in Shangshu Province.

What's more, rest at home and enjoy family happiness.

Such days made Qin Tian feel very good.

A person can be stimulated by occasional busyness, but if he can enjoy the ordinary, his life will be more stable and peaceful.

Qin Tian is like this now.

He can fight on the battlefield like a god of war, and at the same time, he can also be a good husband at home.

Live comfortably.

This afternoon, the early autumn sun was quiet.

Ninth Princess and Tang Rong set up a table in the courtyard, ordered someone to bring some snacks and fruits, and then started playing mahjong.

Mahjong is played by four people, Tang Rong, Jiu Gongzhu, Lu Huaniang and Bian Suwen.

Qin Tian wanted to play, but Ninth Princess and the others were not willing, because when Qin Tian played, he was very lucky and always won. Even if he didn't win, he would lose on purpose.

This kind of gameplay is really meaningless.

So they rejected Qin Tian.

This situation made Qin Tian very helpless.

In the past, the reason why he always won or lost on purpose was that he didn't want to play, because he was busy at the time, so he used this method to make the nine princesses not play with him.

But who ever thought that now that I am free and want to play with them, they will not play with me again.

He felt it was all retribution.

There was no other way, so Qin Tian had no choice but to set up a table next to him, make a pot of good tea, and watch them play while drinking. Although it was a bit boring, it was better than nothing.

And just as he was looking at it like this, Qin Xiaodie ran in bouncing from outside.

Seeing Qin Xiaodie, Qin Tian suddenly thought of something to entertain him.

"Little sister, come here."

Qin Tian smiled maliciously, the current Qin Xiaodie was already very beautiful, but she hadn't shed her immaturity yet, seeing her elder brother like this, she immediately became cautious.

"You...what are you going to do?"

Qin Tian smiled: "Come here."

"No, if you don't say what you want to do, I won't go."

Xiaodie became more and more cautious, Qin Tian had no choice but to say, "Come here, brother will test your understanding of medicinal herbs."

Hearing that Qin Tian was going to test herself, Xiaodie immediately curled her lips and said, "No."

At this time, Xiaodie still likes medicinal herbs and is very familiar with many medicinal herbs, but she just doesn't like being tested by Tang Mu, which makes him feel stressed and uncomfortable.

Seeing Xiaodie like this, Qin Tian didn't expect that the main reason he took Xiaodie's exam was that it was boring, so he asked her to have fun, and also to see how she was doing.

Who knew that this little girl was not on the road.

"It seems that you are not good at learning." Qin Tian shook his head.

As soon as Xiaodie heard this, she immediately raised her head: "Who said I can't learn?"

"Then let me test you."

Xiaodie rolled her eyes: "Don't you have any other new ideas? You know how to use this method."

When Xiaodie suddenly said this, Qin Tian was a little stunned. He thought he had succeeded, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Xiaodie.

"Then how about this, come here, if the answer is good, the elder brother will make you delicious food, believe it or not?"

"Really?" As soon as Xiaodie heard that there was something delicious, Xiaodie immediately became ecstatic. There was no way, as a foodie, IQ would have problems in front of delicious food.

"Of course it's true, come here."

This time, Xiaodie didn't shirk and make excuses, let alone be cautious, and ran over directly.

After Xiaodie came over, Qin Tian asked him about some medicinal materials. Apart from asking about the shape and characteristics of these medicinal materials, he also asked about their medicinal uses and so on.

For many medicines, Xiaodie's answers were very good, and there was no deviation. It's just that after Qin Tian asked a lot, he gradually discovered some problems.

Because the medicinal uses of some of the medicinal materials that Xiaodie said were wrong, and they were very different from what he knew.

"Xiaodie, what's the use of talking about sage?"

Hearing Qin Tian's sudden question, Xiaodie curled her lips and said, "Didn't I just say that sage is used to treat dysentery."

Qin Tiandao: "However, as far as I know, this thing does not cure dysentery, but it is more effective in treating chronic bleeding and malignant sores."

Xiaodie's eyes widened, as if she was a little surprised how her elder brother knew this, but thinking that her elder brother was able to cure smallpox, he was relieved, and said: "But this is what Sister Su Wen said, if you don't believe me, you can ask her. "

At this time, Bian Suwen, who was playing mahjong next to him, had already turned his head and said, "Brother Qin, this sage does cure dysentery. It is said in ancient books, but there are better medicinal materials for treating dysentery, so it is rarely used. With sage."

Seeing that Bian Suwen said the same thing, Qin Tian felt a little strange, because he knew that sage really didn't cure dysentery.

But soon, Qin Tian understood somewhat, because he suddenly thought of Li Shizhen's original intention of writing "Compendium of Materia Medica".

He wrote "Compendium of Materia Medica" because the medicinal properties of many medicinal materials are wrong, but many people are still using them. Maybe occasionally they really cured the disease, but sometimes, it may not be the medicinal effect of this medicinal herb. .

You must know that the human body is immune, and many diseases will gradually improve without taking medicine.

And many times, many doctors attribute the improvement of this disease to the medicinal properties of some herbs.

After trying to understand this truth, Qin Tian felt that some of the current medical books may have serious problems, not to mention that they cannot be used. At least many medicinal materials are wrong. If someone treats a disease according to such medical books, then Isn't something big going to happen?
After thinking about it, Qin Tian said: "You are all wrong about the medicinal properties of this sage, how about this, I will write you a book on medicinal herbs, so that you can understand it more clearly."

Qin Tian said something like this, Bian Suwen was playing mahjong, but he didn't care much, Xiaodie just curled her lips, she Bian Suwen taught her elder sister, how could it be wrong, she felt that her elder brother was just making excuses .

"Then elder brother, will you make me something delicious?"

Xiaodie looked at Qin Tian eagerly, Qin Tian stroked Xiaodie's hair, and said: "Do it, of course, I'll make it for you right now, I promise you will like it very much after eating it."

"Is it a big meal?" Xiaodie asked excitedly.

"I won't make a big meal this time, I'll make you a pastry, Shaqima."

"Shaqima? What is this?" The name made Xiaodie completely confused. From the name, he couldn't think of what kind of pastry it was.

"You'll know when you do it."
