Chapter 423 Ginseng
If there is any one in the family of traditional Chinese medicines that is accepted all over the world and undisputedly regarded as a miracle medicine, it must be ginseng.

This is not bragging, but fact.Not to mention domestically, foreigners attach great importance to ginseng, which can be seen from the name.

Panax ginseng CA Mey, which means cure all diseases.The use of "Cure All Diseases" as the name of a medicinal material shows the importance attached to it.

Well, of course, for Chinese people, the name "Cure All Diseases" is full of derogatory connotations. After all, the dog doctor who sells Shiquan Dabu pills on the street likes to use this name too much.

Chinese people's discovery and utilization of ginseng can be traced back to Shennong's Herbal Classic, but the real large-scale use of ginseng had to wait until the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and it was not promoted to the altar in the Qing Dynasty.

This is also due to geographical and historical reasons. Ginseng lives in the inaccessible extreme north and is relatively rare in the Central Plains, so it is not listed as a standing drug.When the Song Dynasty lost the entire Great North, it was also unable to obtain ginseng.

During the Ming Dynasty, the national power became strong again and brought the north into the sphere of rule again. Ginseng began to flow into the pass in large quantities, and its potential ability was gradually discovered.

Before the Manchu government was established, they made a living by selling ginseng, buckskin and other products, so they paid more attention to ginseng.After entering the customs and establishing the Qing Dynasty, the status of ginseng was raised unprecedentedly.

Of course, the reason why ginseng can be promoted to the altar is not political reasons, but it is really worthy of the reputation of the king of medicines, and "Compendium of Materia Medica Supplements" praised it as the first to invigorate qi.

"Ginseng?" The three imperial doctors were at a loss. They knew that there was this medicine, but they had never used it, and they didn't know if the Imperial Hospital had it.

Seeing the faces of the three people, Li Shimin didn't know what was going on, and immediately said angrily: "You don't even know the medicine from the Tai Hospital, so what do you need?"

"The saint forgives the sin, forgives the sin. It's not that the minister is incompetent, but the medicine of ginseng has only been seen in medical books, but has never been used. Even if I found ginseng, I don't know how to use it." An old imperial physician argued.

"You still dare to quibble..."

Li Shimin wanted to hit someone, but fortunately his elder grandson Wugou quickly stopped him, and persuaded him, "Don't be angry, saint, what they said is not unreasonable, besides, now is not the time to get angry, the most important thing is to save people."

After persuading Li Shimin, she winked at the imperial doctor and said, "Hurry up and investigate."

"Here." Immediately, the youngest imperial doctor rushed to the Tai Hospital.

Then Changsun Wugou turned his gaze to Yue Shan... also froze, staring at his hand with some annoyance.

It was only then that Yue Shan realized belatedly that he seemed to be holding Li Lizhi's hand all the time.Although the defense between men and women in the Tang Dynasty was not so strict, this kind of behavior was true in public... He quickly let go.

Li Lizhi also reacted, her small face turned into a red cloth in an instant, and even the roots of her ears were red.

"Hey... Madam, what do you want to ask?" Yue Shan sneered.

"Hmph." Changsun Wugou glared at him fiercely, and said, "Apart from ginseng, do you need any medicine?"

The two imperial doctors present also pricked up their ears. Qing Shuihou is a child of a fairy, so maybe he will come up with some secret recipe of the fairy family.As for whether Yue Shan understands medical skills... none of the doctors doubted this.

One of the most basic textbooks in the medical school was compiled by Yue Shan, which put forward many seemingly nonsense theories, but after careful verification, they found that they were simply the truth.

It is said that Sun Simiao has gathered a large group of famous doctors, who are concentrating on research and preparing to reorganize a medical system based on these theories.Once this work is done, medicine will enter a whole new era.

This is also the reason why these imperial doctors did not refute when Yue Shan said that he needed forceps and ginseng.

"No need." Yue Shan shook his head and said, "Ginseng is the king of qi tonic medicines. It doesn't need any supplementary medicine. The main thing is that a small piece can hold your breath and buy precious time for rescue."

"Besides, the current situation doesn't have time for us to torment the medicine. Just take a few slices of ginseng and grind it into powder, and drink it with hot water."

It is naturally difficult for Yue Shan to prescribe the medicine, but fortunately, taking ginseng alone can hang one's life.

As for the formula related to ginseng, I believe these imperial physicians will take the initiative to study it after today's incident.Even if they want to be lazy, Li Shimin, who cherishes his life, will drive them forward with a big stick.

Because the silversmith had to go outside the palace to look for it, and the imperial hospital was inside the palace, so the imperial doctor who took the ginseng left late but returned first.

"The sage has found, found, ginseng... ginseng offered from... Liaodong." The imperial physician said out of breath.

Then it should be ginseng from Changbai Mountain, Yue Shan was overjoyed.Although he is not a doctor, he also knows that the wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain is the best quality of all ginseng.

Li Shimin was also overjoyed, and quickly said: "Cuilan, how do you say to take it?"

Yue Shan took the old ginseng which was obviously very old, pulled off a few roots from it, said: "Grind it into powder and drink it." Then he naturally put the rest into his arms.

"..." Everyone.

But no one cares about this anymore, those imperial doctors personally ground the roots and brewed it into tea, and then the maid sent it to the delivery room.At this time, Zhang Cairen's screams were already very weak.

While everyone was waiting for the ginseng medicine to take effect, Yue Shan asked for a pen and ink to draw the forceps style he had seen on the Internet.

To be on the safe side, I even called the imperial doctor and Mrs. Wen over for reference to see if there were any mistakes.

Experienced veterans are different. These imperial doctors and Wen Po's eyes lit up immediately after seeing the forceps, and they repeatedly praised Yue Shan for coming up with a good idea.

At this moment, the silversmith was finally brought over, along with tools for making silverware.No one dared to delay the time, so everyone acted immediately to build forceps according to the blueprint.

However, a bad news came again, the ginseng had already come into effect, but the situation of Zhang Cairen in the house remained unchanged.

Could it be that ginseng is not working?No, no, Yue Shan shook his head, it must be another problem.

He pondered carefully, and soon discovered the problem.So I found Mrs. Wen: "Go and tell Zhang Cairen that the sage is waiting for her outside and has found a way to save her, so she must persevere."

Wen Po walked into the room suspiciously, and after a while there was a high-pitched, sharp cry of pain.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces.

Several silversmiths acted at the same time, and within two quarters of an hour they finished the finished product, which was brought into the house by Mrs. Wen after a little polishing.

About two quarters of an hour later, there was a heart-piercing cry from inside the room, followed by the baby's cry of 'Wow'.
