Villager of Daming

Chapter 958: Overseas Exchange of Materials to Solve the Shortage

In addition to military households, nearby people also came over to eat and drag their families with them. Only dogs left in the village were loosely tied and placed in the courtyard.

I won’t go back at night and will stay at the Ninghua Inspection Department. After breakfast tomorrow, I will decide whether to leave depending on the situation.

Military households are different from normal civilian households. They live in houses at the moment, but there are enough marching tents in the entire military camp.

The military households took out the tents, quickly set them up, and asked the people to live in them. It was hot, so spreading a straw mat on the ground was enough.

Zhu Xiang and the others took a boat to the place and first collected mugwort and elm bark powder, both of which were readily available.

Under the leadership of the sergeant, the common people will try their best to find out the herbs around them, reserve some, and teach them what they need to prepare.

The team took the things and made mosquito-repellent incense directly, which was just for use at night. As many materials were delivered, they would make as much mosquito-repellent incense as possible, and the people divided it among themselves.

People from nearby villages come here mainly to let the imperial doctor help check their pulse, especially the elderly, children, and pregnant women who are always feeling unwell.

The sergeant came over, and the sergeant could only treat the doctor through some methods taught in the book, a barefoot doctor.

Zhu Fan took a sip of beer and let out a burp after speaking. His nose felt very comfortable.

Imperial doctors are relatively professional. How could the team of four princes not have a master from Xinglin?

The imperial doctors ate first and were always busy, with too many people needing to check their pulses.

Zhu Fan looked like I was very angry, the kind that couldn't be coaxed, no more, I won't give you any medicine in the future.

"Just wait! We will definitely improve Taiyuan Prefecture and catch up with Nanjing, burp~~!"

Zhu Fan nodded, and the other three princes nodded slightly.

The little girl Ling'er in his team said to kill him, Hanhan immediately took action, and the bezoar belonged to him.

Tang Zongsheng got down from the chair and knelt there, but his expression did not show any fear.

The steward of Prince Jin's Mansion who was waiting at all times looked anxious and unhappy at the same time.

The commander smiled and said: "Your Highness, shall we send some of the black gunpowder we brought over to the Marquis of Yan'an? They are all made from materials collected when the team stayed in Yangqu and other places. They are divided into parts of the Ninghua Inspection Department and the rest. Take it to Ningwuguan."

"Okay! Originally... eh? Marquis of Yan'an, you care about the money we ask for the bezoars, right?"

"Your Highness, would you like to see other cows? If you encounter one with bezoars again, the cattle owners will be happy."

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I actually wanted to... I have used Bezoar Shangqing Pills before and it worked very quickly."

"I don't dare. I don't mean that. I'm just wondering if the presence of bezoar in cattle has anything to do with raising it. Let's take a look at other cattle."

But if you take thirty bezoars like that, you won't get a single medicine, so there's no need to tell you one thing. "

"Get up! It's just a calculation. The bezoar hasn't been finished yet. I'll give it to you now. How much do you think you can sell it for?"

You are the Marquis of Yan'an, and your father should reward you with a set of bezoar medicinal materials.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the cow exists and has a bezoar, it will naturally gradually lose weight and eventually be slaughtered, and gallstones will appear in the cow.

Seeing that he could no longer kill the cow, the Marquis of Yan'an Tang Zongsheng finally felt safe again, saying that he was a fool and had not been resented, otherwise he would just kill the cow...

Your Highnesses don't need them to take care of them. The people from Xiaqiu Village are guarding them. The special box in the village is the most mysterious. I don't know how many life-saving things are contained in it.

Tang Zongsheng drank beer for the second time. A businessman had brought beer to him before. When he took a sip, he couldn't recall the taste, and he had no impression of comparing it with this one.

Zhu Fan said and suddenly realized that the cattle belonged to the military camp and did not belong to the individual military households.

The bezoar taken from the cow just now is relatively large. Ling'er said that it is no problem to make thirty sets of medicine, or even more, depending on the weight after processing.

Tang Zongsheng finally got scared. He didn't want money, he wanted medicine, a set of medicine in a limited quantity.

It says that the most expensive one is Niuhuang Angong Pills, but other Niuhuang Jiedu Pills are as useful as Niuhuang Shangqing Pills.

When a brother was sick before, he took Shangqing Pills, but he became increasingly thinner that day. He couldn't take any other medicine, his mouth was covered with sores, and he felt so angry that he fainted. As a result, after giving the bezoar supernatant pills I got to my brother, he was cured and the medicine was gone. If he had taken it earlier, how many pills would he still have left?

"It's gone?" Zhu Xi said something to help, but the bezoar was really too big. He said that after processing, it would weigh more than 700 grams with that kind of measurement unit.

It is said to be a special situation, because gallstones gradually become larger, and a cow that looks strong should not have large gallstones.

Special circumstances refer to gallstones that did not affect the cow's diet and sleep before, and did not cause the cow to react until it became larger.

Anyway, the bezoar is big and of good quality, so you can make a lot of medicines back home.

Actually, there’s no need to go back, right? The team from Xiaqiu Village should be able to do it. There are also imperial doctors here and a lot of medicinal materials.

"I've finished taking the Shangqing Pills, help me." Tang Zongsheng sweated non-stop.

"There is a replacement for that! Well... patch it up for you. If you find the bezoar in the future, you must give it to me. I will change the dressing for you."

When Zhu Fan heard that it was to save his life, he understood the other party and all the prescriptions given by Xiaqiu Village were verified.

There are several first aid medicines, all of which are magic medicines, including nitroglycerin, which is used to make explosives.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Tang Zongsheng wiped his sweat and stood up slowly.

……

"Hanhan! How do you think a cow can get gallstones?"

After everyone had a rest in the evening, Zhu Wentian continued to go back to his place to eat skewers. The chief came over and asked a question that many people wanted to know.

"Alas~~!" Zhu Wentian sighed.

“If you raise cattle in an unhealthy direction, without thinking about them plowing fields, pulling carts, or eating beef, the probability will be higher.

The purpose of raising cattle is to do work, and we always think about making the cattle sick, which is not worth the gain.

The most important medicine containing bezoar is Niuhuang Angong Pills. Other Jiedu Pills and Shangqing Pills can be replaced by other medicines.

There are many cattle like these in the Ming Dynasty, as well as in the Ming Dynasty.

Water buffalo and cattle are the most common, and it has been difficult to increase the number of yaks. It is better to exchange the bezoars of buffalo and cattle from Shibosi and Yi people. "

Zhu Wentian is talking about India, Nepal, Bangladesh and other places, where there are cattle and they are also used.

It's just that the application is different. China uses it for eating and medicine, while India uses it for salvation.

Like cinnabar, Chinese cinnabar is a mineral medicine. It is not good if you take too much of it. It can also be used as a dye.

In India, it is also used as a dye. A red dot is placed between the eyebrows or something to calm the mind, including adult men and women.

The use of bezoars is evidenced by a sutra called Dharani Sutra: The Buddha Says Longevity, Destroys Crimes, and Protects All Boys.

The content related to bezoar is: If you use bezoar, pearls, light, sand, honey and dust to settle the heart of a child, you can avoid bad luck.

Due to low productivity, little food, and no effective contraceptive methods, it was impossible to feed the children even after they were born.

Killing a child, including abortion, is considered bad by people. This sutra is specifically meant to comfort people. In other words, it supports this behavior.

From the perspective of the society at that time, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong.

To put it another way, there was bezoar in India, and the barbarians brought it over to exchange for things, such as bezoar Angong pills.

The Yi people used a large amount of bezoars and rhino horns in exchange. Calculated by weight, for example, making Angong Pills into large honey pills required a thousand times the weight of dried bezoars and rhinoceros horns.
