Chapter 692 Two Medicines
According to their prescription, the medicine arrived very quickly, and the two prescriptions were put together so that the doctors on both sides could study and verify each other.
It’s a pity that Ye Yan is not here, otherwise he would definitely be better at this.
But now it’s not a big problem to just simply study the prescriptions of both parties.
During this process, the doctors on both sides soon discovered that there were several common medicinal ingredients in their prescriptions, but they just called them differently, and the ingredients were exactly the same.
In addition, there are naturally some medicinal herbs that neither of them has.
As a person with outstanding abilities in the field of medicine, Zhang Jingyan naturally has a strong desire to explore new prescriptions and new medicinal materials.
At this moment, he was obviously interested and completely immersed in the discussion of those new medicinal materials.
During this period, he kept asking questions to the military doctors from Da Zhou to confirm the medicinal properties of each medicinal ingredient and why this medicinal ingredient was added.
Fortunately, those who can serve as military doctors are among the most outstanding doctors in their Great Zhou.
For them, understanding medicinal materials, medicinal properties, and even prescriptions is the most basic thing, and they can recite them by heart.
Now, they are discussing and exploring the two prescriptions and the new medicinal materials that neither of them has, and they are not at a disadvantage.
As the descendant of the "Great Han Miracle Doctor", Zhang Jingyan naturally had a bit of pride in his heart. At first, he did not take the Great Zhou doctor in front of him seriously.
But after some discussion, Zhang Jingyan's contempt had completely disappeared, and he even felt a bit of admiration for the prescription in front of him.
According to his current understanding of the medicinal properties of the various herbs in this prescription, those herbs combined together can be said to complement each other and the combination is quite exquisite.
"I wonder who developed this prescription? Can you recommend it to me?"
"It was discovered by our minister, but unfortunately, our minister is not here. He is in the rain forest researching various herbs."
"Rainforest? Where is that?"
Zhang Jingyan could understand the words "Yu" and "Lin" when taken separately, but when they were combined together, he was confused.
When talking about this, the doctor became excited.
"The rainforest is a great place..."
Ever since Ye Yan became fascinated with the rainforest and established a medicine garden there to study herbs, it has become a holy place in the eyes of the doctors of the Great Zhou.
But this is not an exaggeration.
The rainforest area is rich in plant life and has countless varieties of herbs; it is truly a natural treasure trove.
Not to mention the development of medical skills, Zhou Xu is confident that as he owns the rainforest medicine garden, he will definitely surpass this side in terms of the variety, quality and quantity of herbs, and may even completely beat them.
At this moment, Zhang Jingyan was also amazed by what he heard, and wished he could grow wings and fly over to find out what was going on.
Of course, more importantly, he wanted to have a good discussion with Ye Yan on the field of medicine. He believed that by then, they would both gain a lot from it.
Just as Zhang Jingyan was thinking this, Zhou Xu, who was standing beside him, glanced at Huo Qubing, who was about to lose his soul, and then let out two dry coughs.
"Should we get the medicine to be boiled first?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jingyan's face turned red. He was so busy chatting that he accidentally forgot about Huo Qubing.
The main reason was that the cold was not a serious illness, and he treated it with acupuncture, so there would be basically no problem.
"I was negligent. Now I have two prescriptions. This one is what I took to cure colds in the past. Why don't you try the new medicine this time? It may work better."
The medicines from Da Zhou have been used for some years and have been proven to be effective and there are no problems with them.
Under this premise, instead of letting Huo Qubing drink the old medicine, it would be better to let him try the new prescription.
After arranging the boiling of medicine, they let Huo Qubing have a good rest, and the group moved to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Thank you for your hard work this time, sir. How much is the consultation fee?"
Seeing this, Zhang Jingyan hurriedly saluted Zhou Xu.
"Reporting to the king, I do not ask for money, I only want to ask the king to give me some food."
Having said this, Zhang Jingyan paused, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he simply knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Xu.
"Your Majesty, please understand. Food is scarce in Black Stone City right now. The people in the city have run out of rice to eat. If this continues, people will soon starve to death."
"Now that Your Majesty has taken over Black Stone City, the people of Black Stone City are also Your Majesty's people. Please have mercy on the people and help them!"
As he spoke, Zhang Jingyan had already bowed his head deeply.
At first he didn't know that he was going to treat Huo Qubing, he volunteered and came just for food.
Originally, he just wanted to ask for some food rewards to distribute to the people. Any help he could provide would be helpful.
But in the brief contact later, he vaguely felt that the king of the Great Zhou in front of him seemed to be a benevolent monarch. From his words and deeds to the way he got along with others, he was completely different from the tyrant Yan Sheng.
This made Zhang Jingyan determined to take a risk! Seeing this, Zhou Xu immediately helped him up from the ground.
"Sir, you don't have to do this. I told you when we entered the city that as long as you are loyal and submissive, I will treat you all equally without any prejudice. I have always intended to help the people in the city."
"Early tomorrow morning, porridge shops will be set up near the four city gates of Black Stone City to distribute porridge. They will be available in the morning and evening, so that people in need can line up to receive porridge."
Hearing this, Zhang Jingyan's expression was dull. He looked up at Zhou Xu with a gentle smile on his face, as if he was looking at a living Bodhisattva who had come down to earth to save the people and relieve their suffering.
For a moment, his eyes turned red and he almost burst into tears.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
There was no other way. The common people were having a hard time under the rule of the tyrant Yan Sheng! This made Zhou Xu at this moment like a ray of light shining into their miserable lives!
Seeing Zhang Jingyan whose emotions were somewhat out of control, Zhou Xu tried to comfort him softly. After he calmed down, he thought for a moment and simply extended an olive branch to him.
"Sir, your talent should not be buried like this. It should be used to help the people. I wonder if you are willing to work for me?"
Zhou Xu originally wanted to wait for some time before considering recruiting Zhang Jingyan.
However, this sudden and unexpected situation had brought his emotions to this point, so he just went with the flow.
Faced with the olive branch thrown by Zhou Xu, Zhang Jingyan naturally understood the meaning. After thinking about it for a while, he bowed down again.
"If the king does not abandon me, Zhang Jingyan is willing to die for the king!"
