Chapter 27 Lie Shan tastes all kinds of herbs

Since Lie Shan became the co-owner of the human race, he has been conscientious, doing everything by himself, taking responsibility for himself, and promoting some of his previous practices in the Youjiang tribe, spreading the method of farming grains to all tribes.At this point, grains began to be planted in all human tribes.

After humans learned to grow five grains, the food crisis of the human race was resolved, and there was a surplus of grain, but many grains that could not be eaten were destroyed due to poor preservation.Although Fuxi's tribe also kept some inexhaustible prey in the past, most of the prey were difficult to raise and fierce, and could easily hurt people. From these prey, Lieshan selected pigs, cows, horses, sheep, dogs, Chickens and other six kinds of animals that are gentle and easy to raise are kept in the entire human tribe, and the tribes collectively call them "six animals".Since then, the livestock has entered the era of poultry, and the surplus food of the tribe can also be used to raise livestock without being destroyed due to poor preservation, and people do not need to hunt often for meat, which greatly reduces unnecessary casualties .

Since then, people are no longer short of food, and they still have surplus. Some tribes or families sometimes have too much leftovers, not only they can’t finish it, but also the livestock can’t finish it, and they can’t keep it for a long time. They have no choice but to throw it away, which is a waste.Lie Shan specially convened a meeting to solicit the opinions of the ministers on this issue, and finally came up with a way, imitating what he had done in the Youjiang tribe before, and opened markets in each tribe, and even built a market in Chendu. The big market on the whole street, so that people have extra items and take them to the market to exchange what they think are worthwhile and useful. Commodity trading also began, which greatly strengthened the connection and communication between tribes.

At that time, the human race still used the animal skin invented by the Ziyi family to wrap their bodies, but Lieshan found a plant called hemp while searching for five grains, which could be used to make hemp into cloth and clothes, but it was more comfortable to wear than animal skin, and it was also more comfortable. It is easier to get than animal skins, so it was popularized. From then on, people began to use linen to make clothes, no longer need to wear animal skins, and gradually walked out of ignorance.

At that time, most human tribes baked food with their hands. If you are not careful, you will often get burned, and there is a lack of containers to hold the food. Lieshan then made various containers from the soil of the Youjiang tribe, which is called pottery. , Promoted to the whole human race, since then people can use pottery to hold food, which is much more convenient.

At that time, although people already knew the seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, they had little effect on farming. They didn't know when to plant grain seeds and when was the harvest season. So Lieshan observed the changes of the four seasons for several years, alternating cold and warm, according to According to Fuxi's gossip calculations, the calendar day is established, the stars are established, day and night are divided, the sun and the moon are determined, the month is [-] days, and November is the winter solstice.Since then, people have learned when to plant grain seeds and when to harvest, so the production of five grains has greatly increased.

The emergence of agriculture and animal husbandry not only solved the food problem of the human race, but also because people began to have surplus items, so the original commodity trading began, and the market also appeared.After such a series of governance measures, the life of the human race has obviously improved greatly, and the population has also increased rapidly, showing a more prosperous trend than in Fuxi's era.Moreover, the exchanges between various tribes became more frequent, which greatly accelerated the development of the human race.

Lie Shan manages the tribe and has a good way of governing the world. He said: "If a husband is young and does not plow, the world will suffer from hunger, and a woman who did not weave the world will suffer from the cold." Hope for their retribution, don't be greedy for the wealth of the world, and the world will be rich together.Wisdom is more valuable than others, and the world respects it.He uses morality and righteousness, does not reward but the people are diligent, does not punish but is evil and upright, does not fight with anger but is rich, does not restrain and order but the people obey, is majestic but does not kill, and saves the law but does not bother him.There is no intention of harming the people, the punishment and government are not used to govern, the armored soldiers can not afford to be king, so all the princes and ministers support it, and everyone loves it!

Lie Shan saw that the lives of the clansmen were improving day by day under his management, and he was very happy. Walking in the streets and alleys of Chendu, seeing the chattering clansmen, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.At the same time, the various tribes of the human race also showed a scene of early prosperity.

However, Lie Shan also encountered troubles at this time, but Lie Shan often heard that some old and weak tribesmen occasionally encountered headaches and fevers that could not be cured. I can't work anymore, I can only lie on the bed and wait for the improvement, and these phenomena are increasing now, and there are more and more people who eat poison by mistake or are injured by poisonous insects and snakes, but the human race is helpless , can only watch the tribe die.It turned out that the human race did not know medicine at that time, so they didn't know how to treat them when they got sick, so they often died.This problem has also troubled Lie Shan for a long time, but in the past there were too many things in the clan to deal with, and he didn't spend too much energy on this aspect, and this problem has not been effectively resolved.But now that most of the important things of the human race have been solved, they should also think of a way to solve this problem.

Lie Shan saw the sufferings of the tribesmen and felt pain in his heart.How to heal the clansman?Lie Shan thought hard for three days and three nights, and finally came up with a solution.It turns out that Lie Shan has a relatively good understanding of plants because of his search for grains. He knows that some plants can cure diseases, but there are more plants that are poisonous, and it is impossible to tell whether they are poisonous or non-toxic.So Lie Shan vowed to go all over the world, taste all kinds of herbs, let people know what can be eaten, what can't be eaten, which ones are harmful, which ones are beneficial, and which ones can heal what diseases and so on.Lie Shan decided to record these for people's reference.

Lie Shan then summoned his ministers and told them that he was going to try a hundred herbs. After hearing this, the ministers were shocked, and they prostrated themselves on the ground crying and persuaded: "No, co-lord, your contribution to the human race is great, and the human race is You can't pay back even if you pour all the water of the Nine Heavens, your safety is related to the fate of the human race, how can you let you risk your life to taste the herbs."

After hearing this, Lie Shan laughed and said, "How can my safety be compared to the safety of hundreds of millions of people. Now my people are facing the threat of illness, how can I, as the co-lord of the human race, not solve it?" ?”

Everyone tried to persuade them, but Lie Shan refused them one by one.

The next day, Lie Shan took a group of subjects and left Chendu under the weeping of countless subjects in Chendu, and walked towards Dashan.They kept walking, their legs became swollen, their feet became callused, and they kept walking for seven to seven days, until they came to a certain place.I saw high mountains peak after peak, canyons one after another, and the mountains were covered with exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance could be smelled from afar.Lie Shan and the others were walking forward when suddenly a group of wolves, tigers and leopards burst out from the canyon and surrounded them.Lie Shan immediately asked his subjects to fight with all their might, to kill the beasts.After one group was beaten away, another group came up again, and they fought for seven days and seven nights before they drove all the beasts away.

At this time, the subjects said that this place was too dangerous and advised Lie Shan to go back.Lie Shan shook his head and said, "I can't go back! The Li people are sick and have no medical treatment, so how can I go back!" He led the way into the canyon and came to the foot of a vast mountain.

Half of this mountain is inserted in the clouds, and it is surrounded by knife-cut cliffs. There are waterfalls hanging on the cliffs, covered with moss, smooth and slippery. It seems that there is no ladder to climb to the sky.The subjects advised him to forget it and go back as soon as possible.

Lie Shan shook his head: "I can't go back! The Li people are sick and have no medical treatment, and they are still suffering. How can we go back!" He stood on a small rocky mountain, facing the high mountain, looking up, down, left Take a look, look right, make up your mind, think of a way.Later, people called the small mountain where he stood "Wangnong Pavilion".

Then, he saw a few golden monkeys crawling along the high hanging ancient vines and the rotten logs lying on the side of the cliff.Lie Shan had an idea, and there was.He immediately called his subjects over and told them to cut wood poles, cut vines, and build a shelf against the cliff. One layer was built every day, from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, no matter it was windy or rainy, or Flying snow and freezing, never stop working.It took a whole year to build 360 floors before reaching the top of the mountain.According to legend, the scaffolding used by people to build buildings later is the way to learn from Lieshan.

Lie Shan took his subjects, climbed the wooden frame, and reached the top of the mountain.I saw that the mountain is really a world of flowers and plants, red, green, white, yellow, all kinds of colors, densely packed.Lie Shan liked it very much. He told his subjects to guard against wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. He personally picked flowers and plants and put them in his mouth to taste.In order to try herbal medicine and find medicine here, Lie Shan asked his subjects to plant a few rows of fir trees on the mountain as a city wall to prevent wild animals, and to build thatched huts inside the wall.Later, people called the place where Lie Shan lived "Wooden City".

During the day, he led his subjects to the mountains to taste the herbs. At night, he asked the subjects to light a bonfire, and he recorded it in detail by the light of the fire: which herbs are bitter, which are hot, which are cool, which can satisfy hunger, which can heal diseases, All written clearly.

Then after decades of debating and tasting, Lie Shan finally tasted almost all the plants and trees, and recorded them one by one. Shan returned to Chendu for collation, editing and dissemination.

Since Lie Shan returned to Chendu, he began to sort out his knowledge of tasting herbs over the years, and began to edit Honghuang's first medical book.
