"My lord, if I can revise the Compendium of Materia Medica, it will surely be a great thing that will be remembered for generations to come and benefit people for all ages."
Jiang Tian: "I have all kinds of herbs here, more than 3,000 kinds. You can do whatever you want with them."
"Thank you, my lord. I will do whatever it takes to revise this Compendium of Materia Medica."
The three of them ate and chatted.
Jiang Tian would occasionally cook all sorts of delicious food for Shangguan Wan'er.
This moved Shangguan Wan'er to tears.
Shangguan Wan'er thought he was the happiest woman in the world.
As the meal drew to a close, Li Shizhen turned around and bowed respectfully to Jiang Tian.
"My lord, there is something that has been troubling me for many days, not years."
At this moment, in Li Shizhen's eyes, Jiang Tian was a celestial being descended to earth, an omnipotent being.
"Tell me what has been troubling you for so many years."
"The wounds caused by swords and knives..."
Before Li Shizhen finished speaking, Jiang Tian already knew what Li Shizhen meant.
"Penicillin can treat all bacterial infections. Once the wound is no longer infected by bacteria, the injured person can survive."
Bacterial infection, penicillin...
These were all things that Li Shizhen had never even heard of.
"My lord, what is meant by bacterial infection?"
Jiang Tian put down his chopsticks and bowl: "Bacteria are extremely small things, so small that they are invisible to our eyes."
But this thing does exist.
Let me give you an example.
We leave a piece of bread there, and after a few days it will be covered in mold.
"Mold is a type of bacteria, and mold can make the cake sour and smelly. Cakes with mold are poisonous, and people who eat them will get sick."
"If bacteria attach to a wound, they will multiply rapidly on the wound."
Soon, the wound will fester and become life-threatening.
Jiang Tian's simple and easy-to-understand words made Li Shizhen suddenly realize the truth, as if he had been enlightened.
Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners of that era tried every possible method but could not prevent wound infection.
Whether it's wounded soldiers or women giving birth, they are all susceptible to bacterial infections.
If not handled properly, it could be fatal.
"My lord, how do we deal with this bacteria?" Li Shizhen said, "These people have some methods to deal with bacteria."
However, this method cannot be widely adopted.
“Use penicillin. Penicillin is also an extremely tiny substance. When it sees bacteria, it will frantically bite and completely eliminate the bacteria.”
"My lord, how can we obtain this penicillin?"
“Use orange peels, leave them there to rot and spoil, and the orange peels will be covered with mold.”
Collect these, put them in oil, refine and filter them, and you can obtain penicillin.
Jiang Tian explained the method of extracting penicillin in detail again.
Li Shizhen never imagined that the method for extracting penicillin would be so simple.
In this way, everyone can use penicillin.
On the battlefield, wounded soldiers no longer have to worry about losing their lives due to minor injuries.
Li Shizhen knelt respectfully before Jiang Tian.
"Physician Li, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Jiang Tian hurried forward and helped Li Shizhen up from the ground.
"Our lord is kind-hearted. Once this method of extracting penicillin is invented, it will be able to save the people from suffering."
Jiang Tian nodded: "Li Shizhen, I have an idea that I've had for several days now. I'd like to ask for your opinion."
"My lord, please tell me what Li Shizhen can do, and I will go through fire and water for him."
“You don’t need to go through fire and water,” Jiang Tian said with a smile. “Physician Li’s medical skills are superb and will be remembered for thousands of years. However, there are very few divine doctors like Physician Li in the Great Xia Dynasty.”
With Physician Li's ability to heal the sick and save lives, he was able to save many people.
But it's still very rare.
I want to do two things after I return to the Great Xia Dynasty. One of them is to establish a medical school.
Our medical school enrolls several thousand students every year.
Physician Li personally gave the lessons.
This way, several thousand doctors can be trained each year.
Even if they learn from you, Physician Li's insignificant skills are enough for them to use in this world to save lives.
"I wonder if you, Physician Li, would be willing?"
Li Shizhen had more than a dozen disciples, and under his tutelage, these disciples were already capable of handling things independently.
But he didn't expect that Jiang Tian would open a medical school.
The medical school admits students once a year, enrolling one to two thousand students each time.
In less than a decade or so, this will be able to supply the Great Xia Dynasty with tens of thousands of doctors.
Moreover, they are all doctors with extremely high medical skills.
The people of the Great Xia Dynasty no longer need to worry about not being able to afford a hospital.
"My lord, your subordinates are willing to obey all your arrangements."
"In addition, I plan to build a pharmaceutical factory that specializes in producing all kinds of traditional Chinese medicines."
Once this pharmaceutical factory goes into production, it will be able to produce hundreds or even thousands of tons of traditional Chinese medicine every year.
With these traditional Chinese medicines...
It became much more convenient for the people of the Great Xia Dynasty to buy medicine.
Jiang Tian and Li Shizhen talked for a long time.
Li Shizhen was surprised to find that Jiang Tian's knowledge far exceeded his expectations.
After a long conversation.
Li Shizhen agreed with all of Jiang Tian's suggestions.
…………
Japan, Honshu Island.
Due to the rampant hunting by bounty hunters.
Many local residents fled their homes.
They set off for Hokkaido in groups.
Along the way, the Japanese people helped the elderly and children.
The long queue stretched for dozens of miles.
The cries of the children in the procession echoed through the sky.
The elderly people, whose bodies are not very mobile, sighed and complained.
"Tell those children to stop crying. If the hunters hear us, we'll all be dead."
"Everyone, hurry up! If we can reach Hokkaido and seek refuge with His Majesty the Emperor sooner, we can all survive."
"Otherwise, those bounty hunters would cut off our heads and peel off our scalps."
The children who were still crying were immediately covered with their mouths.
Not only are multiple teams heading towards Hokkaido from Honshu Island, but the refugees on the Japanese islands now know that heading to the Japanese islands might be a way to survive.
Otherwise, they will only face certain death.
However, what these people did not expect was...
No matter how fast they run, they can't escape the bounty hunters' clutches.
These bounty hunters were like greedy jackals; they followed the scent.
How could these ordinary people possibly be a match for bounty hunters?
What awaited these Dongying residents was only the wanton slaughter of bounty hunters.
Along the way, corpses littered the ground, a truly horrific sight.
These Japanese samurai fought each other to the death for silver they could never obtain.
