Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 623 Artemisinin

The prince is very annoying recently.

Since the last case of counterfeit money, the crown prince has been stripped of his military power, and even the guards of the East Palace have been replaced by soldiers from the Shence Army.

The East Palace was cleaned up and down, and at that moment the prince was terrified, he was afraid that his father would abolish him as the prince.

Li Chu had also read books, and of course he knew that the deposed princes in history would not end well. Amid such fear, Li Chu ushered in his own final judgment.

Confinement, thinking about it, gone?
Li Chu didn't expect that after such a big storm, he would just shut himself up and think about such a simple punishment?

During the confinement, Li Chu got the news from the Crown Princess Dugu, and King Qi was also punished for casting fake money!

Only now did Li Chu understand why his father raised his punishment high and lightly put it down, but he felt relieved.

Judging from the results, the officials of the Eastern Palace were cleaned up, and the command of the Eastern Palace Guard was taken away by the father, but the Qi Palace also received the same punishment.

Li Chu knew his father's thoughts very well, and he was afraid that his punishment was just to appease the anger of the government and the public.

As long as the crown prince is not abolished, Li Chu will be in a good mood, so he can just play in peace in his East Palace.

The only regret is that Dou Shen is about to be sent to Lingnan. Li Chu generally trusts Dou Shen as a counselor.

Although there was a problem with Dou Shen's private casting of fake money, there was nothing wrong with the plan of private casting of fake money. Dou Shen also set up several fake money workshops outside the city, but the court failed to find out.

The money donated to the prison last time was also obtained by Dou Shen, and Li Chu felt a little bit reluctant to part with this counselor who can make money.

But now Li Chu could not protect himself, and it was impossible to take the risk of offending the emperor to intercede for Dou Shen.

For Prince Li Chu, this time he was just frightened, but for Dou Shen, this time was a catastrophe.

Although he was not sentenced to death, Changliu Lingnan was basically given a reprieve.

The miasma is rampant in the south of the Lingnan area, and officials in the Central Plains like Dou Shen can't live long at all. A fever may kill them.

Moreover, the road to Lingnan was rough and difficult, and the exiled officials had to arrive at the place of exile at the scheduled time, otherwise the escorts would also be punished, and many officials could not hold on and died on the road.

What made Dou Shen even more chilling was that during the interrogation at Dali Temple, he clung to only one workshop in Wannian County, which saved the prince's tens of millions of dollars, but when the time came, the prince and officials of the prince's family turned out to be alone. There is no one who pleads for himself!

Standing outside the city, Dou Shen looked at Yang Liuyiyi's Baqiao, feeling even more sad, but under the urging of the escort, Dou Shen had no choice but to go on the road.

At the same time, under the sunshine of spring, the snow field in Liaodong is gradually melting, and on the melting black land, a group of people are looking for something.

This is a place not far from Daxing City. A young female player is sitting by the stove and warming up. Pang Ju is happily accompanying her, pointing to a map and saying:
"Sister-in-law, this is the land allocated for your pharmaceutical factory. It's not far from the wharf, not far from the Yalu River. It's convenient to fetch water, and there are roads nearby. What do you think?"

This female player is Wang Xue from Jiuquan Pharmaceutical Factory. She traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong this time to investigate the location of the new pharmaceutical factory.

However, when Wang Xue was still on the way, he received a request from a player. This player was Xu Hao, who is now the county magistrate of Bao'an.

Xu Hao and Zhao Chen were good friends when they were in Longyou. They were the same group of players who entered the game. Now Zhao Chen is a pharmaceutical tycoon in Longyou, while Xu Hao took part in the imperial examination in Chang'an, and finally became a Jinshi and elected officials to Bao'an, Lingnan Road county.

After Xu Hao arrived in Renbao'an County, the first thing he felt was the heat.

He is also a southerner in the real world, but the Lingnan area at this time is very different from later generations. Because of the climate, on the first day when Xu Hao arrived in Baoan County, he saw a large number of rhinos outside Baoan County. !
Xu Hao asked the county magistrate beside him, and unexpectedly learned that the special products of Bao'an County today are rhinoceros armor and rhinoceros horns made of rhinoceros hide!

Outside of today's Bao'an County, there are large tracts of virgin rainforest. When Xu Hao came to the county seat, he huddled in the city every day and dared not leave the city at all.

The bad weather is fine, what is even worse is the environment here.

In fact, Lingnan was civilized very early. Zhao Tuo brought the civilization of the Central Plains to Lingnan when he conquered Baiyue at the end of Qin Dynasty.

For example, the history of Baoan County can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. The entire county is full of Chinese-style houses and buildings, and this is also a pure Chinese cultural circle.

However, in the forests in South of the Five Ridges, there are still some remnants of the ancient Yue people. The whole of South of the Five Ridges is characterized by the fact that the Han people live together and the Baiyue people live together.

Han people seldom leave the city, and a few sporadic cities are scattered in the vast land of South of the Five Ridges. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the present, the pioneering work in the whole of South of the Five Ridges has not progressed smoothly.

People in the Central Plains would rather go north to Liaodong, which is bitterly cold, than go south to Lingnan. The biggest reason is miasma.

In fact, miasma is the collective name for various infectious diseases in the tropical rainforest, but with the knowledge of people in this era, it is impossible to distinguish the causes of various diseases, so it is collectively called miasma.

Among all infectious diseases, malaria is the most terrible.

Malaria is not a terminal illness in ancient or modern times. Some people can recover after a few days of diarrhea.

But malaria has a big killer, that is, it can be transmitted through mosquitoes and can be transmitted through drinking water.

Ordinary people have to suffer from malaria, and they will also have a serious illness. For those who are already weak, every time they get malaria, it is like passing through the gate of hell.

Not long after Xu Hao arrived in Bao'an County, he contracted malaria, and there was a "disease" status on his attribute panel.

Fortunately, he exchanged a lot of institutional attributes before coming to Bao'an County, and finally carried it through.

Xu Hao found that all the officials in Bao'an County and nearby counties, except for him who came here on his own initiative, were basically exiled, and there was no room for advancement in the officialdom.

Xu Hao saw sea ships on the coast several times. These were merchants who went to Quanzhou Port for trade. Sometimes there were sea ships that wanted to replenish in Baoan County, but they gave up because there was no dock.

Obviously Bao'an County has very good seaport conditions, but on the one hand, the local officials are lazy, and on the other hand, the population of Bao'an County is too small to support such a project.

Looking at the vast virgin forest outside the city, Xu Hao felt heartbroken!If these lands are placed in later generations, they can buy an aircraft carrier formation!
But Xu Hao is also very clear that calling on the people of the Tang Dynasty to immigrate to Lingnan is tantamount to sending them to death. Malaria alone can kill half of the people.

So Xu Hao found his old friend Zhao Chen and asked him to develop a drug that could treat malaria.

Xu Hao's suggestion reminded Zhao Chen that the medicine for treating malaria must be profitable!

Although there are few people in Lingnan Road, malaria is not only a one-time disease, which can be said to be stable and just needed in tropical areas!
And isn't the most effective drug for treating malaria invented by the Chinese?

Artemisinin!
Zhao Chen immediately began to check the information. After checking the information, Zhao Chen discovered that the distribution of Artemisia annua was so wide.It is distributed from northeast to southwest.

Artemisia annua is afraid of humidity and is a short-day plant. The largest production area of ​​Artemisia annua in modern China is Chongqing.

However, Xichuan is not yet controlled by players, and the traffic in Yuzhou is not very convenient in central Shu, so Zhao Chen asked the King of Yue to send a mission, asking players from all over the world to find Qinghao.

The final result was that Pang Ju submitted a task to King Yue, and found a large piece of weed-like Artemisia annua on the grass near Dahang City.

Wang Xue hurried to Liaodong, and after extracting artemisinin in the temporary laboratory, Zhao Chen and Wang Xue immediately decided to build a pharmaceutical workshop in Dahang City!
It’s normal to think about it. In the northern spring, the sunshine is short and the humidity is low. Isn’t it a suitable environment for the growth of Artemisia annua?

Wang Xue bought Artemisia annua at a high price in Dahang City, which unexpectedly prompted a large number of people from Liaodong to go to Dahang City, which promoted the population development of Dahang City.

A pharmaceutical workshop can bring jobs and tax revenue to Dahang City, so Pang Ju naturally cooperates closely and actively cooperates with Wang Xuemou to build a pharmaceutical workshop.

And Wang Xue also took a fancy to the geographical conditions of Dahang City. This is a port, and the produced artemisinin can be shipped all the way south by sea and sold in the Lingnan area, which is much lower than the cost of land transportation.

Naturally, the two parties hit it off, and Jiuquan Pharmaceutical planned a workshop for extracting artemisinin in Liaodong, and began to manufacture artemisinin, a specific medicine for treating malaria.

On the other hand, Xu Hao is also asking for advice from Zhang Juanhua, who opened the Baocitang in Chang'an. He led the people to clean up the rainforest near the city, dredged the city's sewers, built toilets in the city, and separated the drinking water from the sewage in the city. , and popularized the hygiene knowledge of washing hands and drinking boiled water in Baoan County, and launched a "new hygiene campaign".

After the start of the new sanitation campaign, the incidence of malaria in Bao'an County has dropped significantly, and the people are even more in awe of the new county magistrate.

Xinke Jinshi, this is the diploma of a top scholar in Lingnan, and he leads the people to prevent malaria. Isn't this a star from the sky descending to earth?

The people in Bao'an County wanted to build a shrine for Xu Hao, but of course Xu Hao stopped them.

Looking at the sailing ships passing by in the distance, Xu Hao only felt that the money had slipped out of his hands. If malaria could be overcome, Baoan County would actually have a superior geographical location and would be very suitable for development. The building is out.

Xu Hao thought about the future development of Bao'an County, and the players he invited to go south were about to arrive in Quanzhou at this time.
