Chapter 356 Du Ruhui's Disease
The matter is not complicated at all. Du Ruhui is sick, and it is very serious. According to the historical trajectory, he should die in a few months. Maybe it is because Sun Xiangfu came to this world and changed some of his eating habits Well, now he is not on the verge of death, and he is still actively seeking medical treatment. Today, Mrs. Lai Guo came to the Sun Mansion to seek medical treatment after hearing the letter.

"Sun Dudu, please read it as a minister of the same dynasty as the master, and do your best to treat him."

Originally, I came here to congratulate him, but when I mentioned this matter, Madam Laiguo had no choice but to do anything about it. Sun Xiangfu's medical skills may not be known to the general public, but among the top dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, it was passed on as a miracle, because they We all know that the big belly disease in Lingnan and the smallpox plague in Guanzhong were all cured by the method proposed by Sun Xiangfu.And these diseases, in this period, are terminally ill.

Therefore, even if Sun Xiangfu doesn't come back this time, it won't be long before the Du family will send someone to Shanyang to invite him.

However, the actual situation is that Sun Xiangfu is actually an ordinary person who can't even be considered a half-doctor. How could he dare to easily agree to other people's medical treatment.

When he was in a dilemma, he heard the doctor Zhen say, "Duke Lai's hemoptysis, I have seen it many times, it is really an unresolved disease..."

"Wait, Imperial Physician Zhen, you said Duke Lai is coughing up blood?"

Coughing is basically a problem with the respiratory tract and lungs.

"Cough cough cough..."

While speaking, Mrs. Lai Guo also coughed repeatedly, and Sun Xiangfu frowned suddenly, thinking of a common disease in later generations.

"Come here, take the mask."

Masks are used in many production projects in Xingfu Village, and there are many positions in the kitchen of Wangjiang Tower. Naturally, there are many in the Sun Mansion. Uncle De, who is in charge of serving in the hall, heard the tone in Sun Xiangfu's tone. With a trace of anxiety, he ordered someone to fetch it.

"Madame Lai, please put on this mask quickly, you may also be infected with Duke Lai's disease."

"Ah! This..."

Mrs. Lai Guo was shocked when she heard this.

As if thinking about it, Empress Changsun hurriedly asked, "Zhengming, Duke Lai is suffering from an easily contagious plague?"

When she said this, not only Mrs. Lai Guo, but also other people in the hall panicked and hurriedly distanced themselves from Mrs. Lai Guo.

Feeling the emotion of everyone avoiding her, Mrs. Laiguo wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in. She accidentally became a spreader of the plague, and the queen was also present. This time, their Du family will not only die Du Ruhui If she is alone, the whole family may die. Thinking of this, Mrs. Lai Guo felt her world spinning, her body went limp, and she fell backwards.

Sun Xiangfu, who was closer, stepped forward to support her, and dragged her to the chair placed in the hall.

"It's because I'm not healthy, I disturbed the happy event in the governor's mansion, and even spread the plague to the mansion, my old man deserves death..."

"Madam Lai Guo, don't worry, although this disease can be contagious, it is not a plague. Let me explain it in detail."

After all, Sun Xiangfu put the mask brought by Uncle De on Mrs. Laiguo to prevent her from coughing up any germs. Adults like myself are fine, but the two newborn babies in the house may not be able to resist live.

Seeing that Mrs. Lai Guo's expression had stabilized, Sun Xiangfu turned to Imperial Physician Zhen and asked, "Princess Zhen, is Master Du suffering from lung disease?"

"However, this symptom is the same as that of Du Shangshu who passed away last year, that is, constant coughing, thick phlegm, and sometimes coughing up blood..."

"This is the disease of tuberculosis." In the middle of speaking, Sun Xiangfu figured out Du Ruhui's disease and the cause of his uncle Du Yan's death.

Tuberculosis, also called tuberculosis in later generations, is a chronic infectious disease. In the next century, it took at least 800 to 1000 million lives around the world every year. my country was once one of the countries with the worst tuberculosis epidemic.

Because this kind of disease is not necessarily contagious to all, in this era, it is difficult for doctors to define it. Usually, it is called necropsy, because they just confirmed that the corpses of people who died of this disease will be infected with this disease. A disease comes.

However, Sun Xiangfu, who came from later generations, knows that tuberculosis is not only transmitted after the patient dies, he can also spread it through the bacteria in the saliva and thick phlegm coughed out by the patient, but the transmission is not so high, and most people People's resistance can be partially immune, and they will not get infected immediately, and some people will not get sick for life even if they are infected.

Du Ruhui, for example, was probably infected by Du Yan, and Mrs. Laiguo, was probably infected by Du Ruhui, because their illnesses were all connected successively, and there are a lot of conversations and conversations in daily life. close contact.

"Consumption of tuberculosis? Now that we know the cause, is there a cure?" Empress Changsun is also sick, and she often coughs. Hearing this, she asked urgently.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu suddenly thought of the last batch of cauliflower he had brought back to Empress Changsun, and said with a smile, "The Duke and Duchess of Lai should die. Does the Empress remember the cauliflower? The vegetable juice of this dish is just right. It is a good medicine to treat this tuberculosis, and it happened that His Majesty asked the minister to bring back the last batch of cauliflower produced by Shanyang to the empress, but he wanted to trouble the queen to give the cauliflower to the Lai Guogong and his wife."

"I didn't expect this cauliflower to be so effective. If so, I will give these cauliflowers to Lai Guogong and his wife!"

"Thank you, Empress, for your kindness."

Hearing that she and her husband were rescued, Mrs. Laiguo's energy suddenly recovered, and she hurriedly got up to kneel down to worship Dali, but was held back by Empress Changsun.

At this time, Sun Xiangfu said again, "I would also like to ask the empress to issue a decree to seal off the mansions of Lai Guogong and Anji County, isolate all people suffering from tuberculosis, and eliminate the source of the disease."

Although Sun Xiangfu denied that tuberculosis was a plague, he made a method that was only used when fighting the plague, and immediately made many guests who came to congratulate him feel sorry for him. Fortunately, this disease will not kill people immediately, and Immediately, everyone became interested in this cauliflower, especially Doctor Zhen.

"Sun Dudu, I don't know if this cauliflower can be given to the Imperial Medical Office for medical research?"

"Uh, this, maybe a small amount is okay, but if there is a lot, I'm afraid there is none. The previous fan has already sent most of Shanyang's output this year to Chang'an, and the few hundred that the governor brought back this time is the last one." After all, they may not be able to treat the patients in the Du family.

However, the efficacy of cauliflower has been proven in the Western Regions. It is anti-cancer and detoxifying, stimulates menstruation and activates blood circulation. It has a very good defense and treatment effect on heart and lung diseases. It can be used as medicine, but it is more difficult to grow this cauliflower, and the market price may be more expensive. Next year, it will be planted in Chang'an. "

Sun Xiangfu said in public that the efficacy of this cauliflower is heaven and earth, and it can be regarded as an advertisement for it again.

Moreover, the living spokesperson, Empress Changsun, came forward to assist and said, "No wonder Your Majesty spared no effort to send this cauliflower to Chang'an for my palace to eat. It turns out that it is not only a vegetable, but also a good medicinal material. Listen to me!" Having said that, Bengong just remembered that since eating this cauliflower, he has never had symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, and cough, and this dish is really a good medicine."

As they were talking in the hall, Zhang Ke had already taken a flower ball that had been unloaded and preserved from the refrigerated warehouse. Sun Xiangfu had someone mash it up, and made a small bowl of cauliflower juice for Mrs. Laiguo to pour down. Empress Changsun asked for a token to order the Ouchi guards to seal off Du Yan and Du Ruhui's mansion, and isolate all those with coughing symptoms.

Saving people is like putting out a fire. Sun Xiangfu didn't have much time to drink and chat with the guests at home, so he quickly rushed to Du Ruhui's house wearing a mask.

"Zhengming has just come back from the Northland, so I'm really ashamed to work on the old man's affairs." After seeing the ceremony, Du Ruhui, who was lying on the bed with a sick face, said with guilt.

"Lai Guogong said that this is what it should be. I only hate that the introduction of cauliflower is a bit late, otherwise, Anji Jungong would not have gone so early."

Seeing that Du Ruhui didn't appear to be terminally ill, Sun Xiangfu was determined that if the disease became serious, he wouldn't be able to save him with cauliflower. Of course, even if Du Ruhui was given cauliflower juice, Sun Xiangfu would still let him According to the situation, the Imperial Medical Office prescribes some auxiliary medicines for relieving cough, clearing lung, promoting blood circulation and antibacterial.

After taking the medicine, Du Ruhui didn't rest immediately, but asked Sun Xiangfu to sit down in front of the couch, and said slowly, "Although the old man has not been in court for a while, I also know about the Goguryeo invasion. Your Majesty wants to march eastward." Goguryeo has been around for a long time, this time, when Zhengming returns to Chang'an, I'm afraid it's not just because Mrs. Ling gave birth!"

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled wryly and said, "It was originally because of the birth of a child, but after such an incident, His Majesty temporarily added a task to me. Now, the matter of preparing money, food and equipment for sending troops also falls on my head .”

"Goguryeo is not a country that will perish quickly. If your Majesty wants to conquer, he will definitely go to war. I am afraid that only the sixteen guards will have a small chance of winning."

Du Ruhui was worthy of being the former Minister of the Ministry of War. He was very familiar with the situation inside and outside the Tang Dynasty, and he guessed the current situation all at once.

"What Lai Gong said is exactly right. This time, Lu Gong will recruit all the elite soldiers of the Sixteen Guards to train in Chang'an. They will go out when the summer grain harvest is harvested next year at the latest. The number of people is conservatively estimated to be more than 25."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui nodded with a clear expression and said, "A 25 army is going on an expedition, and the annual cost is more than tens of millions. How does Zhengming plan to raise these expenses?"

"I'm about to ask Lai Gong for advice!"

Unable to resist the itching of his lungs, Du Ruhui coughed twice before saying again, "This old man has been Minister of the Ministry of War for many years, but he has never executed such a large-scale recruitment order, but there are not many people who can teach Zhengming. However, the old man these few days In the past few years, I have gotten to know you a little bit. I would like to advise you on some things. You still have to share what should be apportioned. Don’t be too afraid that the people will suffer and suffer. If you don’t apportion for such a large-scale war, the court will have more in the future. The war can no longer be apportioned on the heads of the people, and it is the most difficult thing to cure the heart."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was taken aback for a moment, but after savoring it carefully, he felt that what Du Ruhui said was very reasonable.

When people should take responsibility for the country, they should not think of ways to shift the responsibility they should bear to others because they feel that their economic situation is not good enough. If they get used to it, they will take it for granted. When the imperial court has to use apportionment means, they will have complaints, this is the human heart and human nature.

"Laigong's words, let me be educated. In the past few days, Laigong, please take the medicine on time to rest and recuperate. In a few days, there are still many things that I need to ask you!"

"Well, you are a new father, and it's time to enjoy the family relationship. Don't accompany this sick old man. Go back to the Ministry of War and get some old man's manuscripts. Maybe it will help you."

"Then thank you Lai Gong."
