Chapter 132 Evil Prescription - Fighting Poison with Poison

Listening to politics behind a curtain is a policy of subjugation!With the example of the two empress dowagers of Xixia in front of them, many neutral officials turned to Zhao Xu one after another. After all, the orderly inheritance of imperial power is really important.

Zhao Xu was originally an official family, and his pro-government was well-founded. Empress Dowager Gao should have returned to power. Besides, the Song Dynasty could not stand the civil strife, otherwise it would be taken advantage of by the Liao and Xia countries.

Seeing the change in the attitude of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhao Tingzhi and other conservatives were anxious, and they couldn't help turning their attention to Liu Zhi, a figure in the forefront of the officials, the Grand Scholar of Guanwendian.

Liu Zhi sighed, and came out and said: "The officials have a heart of benevolence, and it is really a blessing for the minister to order Mr. Cai who is seriously ill to return to Beijing. However, the officials have forgotten that the Empress Dowager is also suffering from illness. How can it be filial piety to persecute the Empress Dowager?"

"Liu Zhi!" Zhao Xu couldn't help but change his face. Liu Zhi was once the prime minister of the court, but he was impeached by Lu Dafang and dismissed as prime minister. It was only thanks to the efforts of Empress Dowager Gao that he gained a firm foothold in the court.

As soon as Liu Zhi made a move, he used filial piety to attack Zhao Xu. Regardless of Zhao Xu's reasons, his behavior of forcing the palace is a kind of unfilial piety.

Fan Zheng rescued Zhao Xu: "Master Liu is surprised by this statement. The Empress Dowager is suffering from a disease. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and the Imperial Hospital have worked together to find a cure for the Empress Dowager. It will definitely make the Empress Dowager recover."

Liu Zhi shook his head and said, "Physicians are reforming, and Liu does not deny the medical skills of doctors, and the prescriptions he prescribes are definitely effective. However, I heard that Mr. Fan is best at heart diseases. How dare I ask the Empress Dowager how to treat her heart diseases? "

Fan Zheng frowned suddenly. He didn't expect Liu Zhi's attack to be so cunning. The Empress Dowager held great power but was suddenly forced into the palace.
Liu Zhi took the opportunity to say again: "If the emperor is not filial, there must be a warning from heaven. Now that the capital is suddenly hit by large-scale pests, it is a warning to the officials. Please don't act willfully."

"Pest plague!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help being startled, and suddenly stared at Liu Zhi in surprise, he didn't expect Liu Zhi to be so insidious, to use the name of warning from heaven to suppress him.

The style of writing in the Song Dynasty was at its peak, and the Confucianism between heaven and man was extremely popular. Whenever natural disasters, earthquakes, floods and droughts were all warnings from the heavens, the imperial court would amnesty the world. This is one of the reasons why the Song Dynasty amnesties the world so frequently.

There is no major disaster in the world now, yet Liu Zhi concocted a plague of insects to suppress him.

Liu Zhi's face remained unchanged and he said: "This matter is not just a matter of nonsense, but it has already spread throughout the capital, Kaifeng prefect Master Su can testify for this veteran."

In an instant, the eyes of all the officials were focused on Su Song. Su Song has always been an upright person, and he would definitely not give false testimony for Liu Zhi.

Su Song frowned and said, "Report to the officials, not long after the beginning of spring, the counties in Kaifeng reported that there was already a plague of insects, and now it has turned into a prairie fire. I am afraid that the grain production in the capital will be reduced by more than half this year."

Insect disasters occur every year, and most of them are not serious. However, this winter is not cold, and many insect eggs have not been frozen to death, so that the insect disaster broke out just after the beginning of spring.

Liu Zhi continued: "This year, not only the Gyeonggi, but even the Central Plains may be plagued by insects. The food production has been greatly reduced, and the people are suffering unspeakably. It will also drag Da Song into the abyss."

Zhao Xu's face changed, he was ambitious to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty, but who would have thought that there would be a sudden outbreak of pests in the capital.

As soon as the plague of insects came out, the food production in the Central Plains decreased, and the military equipment was definitely insufficient. He was also caught by the old-fashioned faction who followed Empress Dowager Gao and used natural disasters to threaten him.

The time of Liu Zhi's election was extremely delicate, and now Zhao Xu has just forced his own government to be unstable, and in the name of warning from heaven, he will definitely give Zhao Xu a blow. If this crisis cannot be properly resolved, I am afraid that the advantages he has worked so hard to build will be destroyed in one go.

Suddenly, there was a burst of wild laughter, and Fan Zheng said mockingly: "Poor Midnight, who doesn't ask the common people and asks ghosts and gods, the plague of insects is just a group of small bugs. It's ridiculous to be regarded as a god by you!" Lost teeth."

Liu Zhi scolded angrily: "Little insect, do you know that insect plagues cover the sky and cover the earth together, I don't know how many billions, countless fields have no crops, this is God's punishment. The skill of treating thousands of people can heal the sufferings of millions of people in the world."

Liu Zhi sneered in his heart. Insect disasters are natural disasters. Although they are common, once they break out, the damage will be serious. Floods, droughts, and locust disasters may only affect one area, but almost all the farmlands in the world are affected by insect disasters. This has been a very headache for all dynasties. .

"Unfortunately, Fan does have a party that can solve the pest disaster." Fan Zheng said seriously.

A group of conservatives were sneering at Fan Zheng when they suddenly heard what Fan Zheng said, and they froze there.

"Reporting to the official family, Fan Zhengchao is talking nonsense, and I implore him to be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor?" Zhao Tingzhi immediately seized the opportunity and forced Zhao Xu to speak.

The other officials also looked at Fan Zheng with a frown. The insect plague was a natural disaster, and this was well known. Fan Zheng dared to speak out about cracking down on the insect plague, which was simply extremely arrogant.

Facing the scrutinizing eyes of all the ministers, Fan Zheng said calmly: "Fan can not only solve this insect plague, but also make the people of the world no longer have to worry about insect plagues."

"really!"

Facing Fan Zheng's bold words again, Baiguan couldn't help being moved.

Everyone knows that Fan Zheng loves to come up with evil prescriptions, and the prescriptions can cure diseases. If Fan Zheng really has the evil prescriptions to solve the plague of insects...

Thinking of this, the civil and military officials couldn't help but feel excited.

"Okay, if you have an evil method to solve the pest disaster, the old minister will follow the official's lead from now on. If Mr. Fan can't do it, then don't blame Liu for being ruthless." Liu Zhi sneered.

Zhao Xu's heart tensed up immediately, and he didn't answer the words. He had personally seen Fan Zheng's evil method, and suffered a great loss for it.If Fan Zheng's evil formula can really solve the insect plague this time, then their trump card will be useless.

Fan Zheng looked around and said proudly: "The method of the humble minister is to fight poison with fire."

"Fight poison with poison!" Zhao Xu's heart skipped a beat. In the imperial palace, the poison of cotton oil had just been discovered, so he was naturally very sensitive to poison.

"When I decided to become a forensic doctor, I once said that all living things are afraid of poison. Insects are living things, and they can be poisoned to death. If you use poison to kill insects, the natural insect disaster will be solved." Fan Zheng spread his hands and said in a tone Easy way.

"It's a bunch of nonsense. In the court, you still come up with evil methods. You know that there are insect plagues, the number of which is countless and boundless. How do you poison so many insects? Besides, food is something that is eaten. Are you using poison on the crops to poison the people of the world?" Liu Zhi scolded angrily.

All the officials also stared at Fan Zheng with unkind expressions. After the pest plague, the food production was only reduced, and if the food was poisoned, the people might starve to death.

Fan Zheng looked at the officials with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and said: "The people who know the most about poisons are the doctors. The poisons that can poison and kill insects are harmless to crops, and rice, wheat, and millet all have husks. It will also be washed when eaten, even if there is a very small amount of residue, it will not cause harm to the human body, and Weichen prefers to call this kind of poison a pesticide."

"You dare to say it's harmless even if there are residues, that's nonsense!" Zhao Tingzhi scolded angrily.

The other officials and ministers also frowned. After all, they were unwilling to eat food contaminated with poison.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Compared to humans, insects are like mayflies and big trees. The dose that can poison insects is not a serious problem to humans. What is this little residue? It is three-point poison of medicine. I will wait for the sick Sometimes it’s better to take medicine as usual, and fighting poison with poison is the only way to solve the pest plague, without the pest plague, it is enough to increase the yield of farmland by more than [-]%.”

"Increase production by more than [-]%!"

All of a sudden, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty gasped for breath, and together with the plague of insects, the output of the farmland was reduced by at least half.

If the pesticides are really as good as Fan Zheng said, not only will the insect pests no longer reduce the grain production, but also increase the production by [-]%. Once the pesticides are applied to all parts of the Song Dynasty, it will increase the national grain production by [-]%. This is a great blessing .

"Is there really such a pesticide in the world?" Zhao Xu didn't dare to believe it.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "Where there is disease in the world, there are doctors. If people are sick, if poultry and animals are sick, there are doctors and veterinarians. If plants and crops are sick, doctors naturally also have agricultural doctors."

"Using poison to kill insects is just the simplest method of agricultural medicine. In addition, agricultural medicine also studies various diseases in farmland and crops for symptomatic treatment. There is even an idea of ​​agricultural medicine to develop a poison to specifically Killing weeds without harming farmers can save the people of the world from the pain of weeding."

Hearing Fan Zheng's eloquent talk, the eyes of civil and military officials suddenly became hot. With their knowledge, they naturally understood that using poison to kill insects is a feasible way. What a benefit Song brings.

"How to poison?" Su Song asked.

He is proficient in medical skills, so he naturally knows that poison is easy to handle, and how to apply the poison is the biggest problem.

"Just dissolve the pesticide in water! The modified pump sprays the pesticide into water mist and evenly sprays it on the crops to kill the virus." Fan Zheng replied.

The pump is also the water dragon gun of later generations. Zeng Gongliang in the Northern Song Dynasty drew a pump in an illustration of his "Wu Jing Zong Yao".

"How do people avoid poison?" Su Shi asked.

"Just wear a mask! The doctor will also prepare the corresponding antidote at the same time. Once poisoning occurs, detoxify in time." Fan Zheng replied.

All of a sudden, the court turned into a pesticide promotion meeting, and no one supported the idea that the pest plague was a warning from heaven.

Liu Zhi's face turned pale immediately. No matter how stubborn he was, he understood that once pesticides were released, Da Song's grain production could be increased by more than [-]% out of thin air. Such a huge benefit, let alone a warning from heaven, even gods descending to earth, could not stop Da Song from using it. pesticide.

"The trend is over!"

Zhao Tingzhi smiled wryly in his heart, this time, they lost, once again lost to Fan Zheng's evil formula.
