Chapter 210 Disagreement caused by a potion

Chongzhen had already made a basic judgment on the matter of medicine powder. This is just a Chinese medicine stimulant. As for the specific effects, I have never tried it, but I cannot know how powerful this medicine is. Chongzhen then asked Zhang Lu:

"Zhang Lu, as you can see, will your strength increase after taking this medicine, or can you fight for a long time?"

Zhang Lu can only describe her as shameful when she is in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Lu is young, and she is very young. However, as seen in the medical world, the most prevalent thing nowadays is aphrodisiacs. "Long-term battle pills" are used to fight for a long time in bed. As for drugs that are conducive to fighting for a long time on the battlefield, they are not worthy of it, but no one thought of doing such a thing. Compared with the Tartars, they are really ashamed! They answered immediately:

"I believe that the internal Chinese medicine has the effect of revitalizing the mind and promoting blood circulation after taking it, and both strength and endurance can be improved briefly. In fact, it is not a big deal to use this medicine. It is just that our doctors use medicine to save the disease and heal the wounds, but they do not advocate for forcibly improving people's physical strength with medicine. Therefore, it is not as scruples as the Tartars when they use medicine. If the emperor thinks that if they can use medicine, they can also prepare a pair of strong medicine. At that time, they will not be at a disadvantage when they meet Tartars."

Du Jun had a straightforward personality and said now:

"Brother Zhang said it nicely. I think today's doctors are doing it, of course, and they practice medicine! But today's doctors are not just treating diseases and treating injuries, hehe, the doctors have not produced magical powders like the Tartars, but the doctors in the Ming Dynasty are also quite amazing! What they made are also very magical, such as "Shi Pills" and "Zhou Zhan Pills", are just medicines for promoting lust! The Ming Dynasty official said that they are just a medicine for promoting lust!

Whether it is the market or the people, taking aphrodisiacs has become a trend. As I see, the world's wind is corrupt, and doctors have been in trouble. The emperor, I speak without saying anything, but this is indeed the fact that the Ming Dynasty is extremely extravagant. If this trend is not suppressed, even if the Tartars and Li Zicheng are destroyed, I am afraid that this kind of trend of only seeking pleasure will spread. Over time, the energy of the Supreme People will be strong. If you are a general, you will be greedy. If you are a general, you will be timid and difficult to return. It is really worth considering!"

Du Jun is good at chess and poetry, but people are used to being indifferent to poverty and humbleness. He is even content with poverty and hatred of evil and never avoids his own view on any occasion.

After hearing Du Jun's words, Chongzhen immediately remembered what Lu Xun said:

"Foreigns use gunpowder to make bullets to defend against enemies, but China uses it as firecrackers to respect gods; foreigners use compass needles to navigate, but China uses it to see Feng Shui; foreigners use opium to treat diseases, but China uses it as food."

The current situation can also be said:

"The Qing military uses medicine to enhance its strength to kill the enemy, and the Ming Dynasty uses medicine to enhance its sexual ability to promote lust."

Haha, this is the case. Even Zhang Juzheng died on aphrodisiacs, what else can I say? Because he had been taking various aphrodisiacs for a long time and was addicted to the mood, Zhang Juzheng's body collapsed, and finally he became sick and became ill, causing a piece of his large intestine to break out of his anus, bleeding prolapsed and in pain, and died at the age of 57.

It is said that his cheap father Zhu Changluo also died of aphrodisiacs. He died of indulgence after taking aphrodisiacs. It is really embarrassing.

However, extravagant style is not something that can be cured by ruling. Since ancient times, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. It is necessary to completely reverse the extravagance. Even if Li Zicheng is in power, it is really the butcher knife of the Qing army that forced people to return to suffering. Only in suffering can they never be destined to be extravagant!

Chongzhen was not a savior, and this problem was not something he could solve. All he could do was to reshuffle the cards with economic means instead of violence. It can be imagined that economic means could not completely eliminate the wind of **, but it was somewhat effective. Chongzhen was very frustrated when he thought of this problem, so he was not ready to entangle it. Therefore, he said:

"It is understandable that doctors also prepare aphrodisiacs according to their needs. Bai Aiqing, in your opinion, will our army also do the same as the magical powder made by the Qing army?"

"I think it's not possible! As far as I know, ephedra and horse-copper are both toxic, so it is okay to use it as medicine to treat diseases and injuries. If it is taken by ordinary people, over time, it will be harmful to the body of the takers. For example, ephedra, long-term use can cause anxiety, insomnia, palpitations, fever, sweating and other adverse reactions. Therefore, I think that soldiers should never be taken. Although the medicine is effective for a while, it will cause harm for life."

At this time, Liu Jiyun couldn't help but interrupted:

"Compared to soldiers who die in battle, taking medication or have some sequelae, but it's much better than dying in battle."

Du Jun also echoed:

"I think this is the case. Those people who take aphrodisiacs also know that it will damage their bodies, and they will not miss it. If they can kill less people, I think it is worth it."

Chongzhen smiled bitterly. It seemed that there were many people who agreed to take stimulants. People like Bai Hengdu became a minority. Chongzhen sighed, looked at Qin Zhiyong and asked:

"Qin Aiqing, your Jinyiwei also has news about Dorgon. Can you tell me what disease Dorgon has?"

The Jinyiwei was of course very careful about the regent of the Qing Dynasty, the one who actually held great power. Qin Zhiyong replied:

"According to the investigation by the Jinyiwei, Dorgon had heart disease, wind disease, and hemoptysis. It is said that these diseases were caused by excessive work and over-worry in the battle of Song Jin. After that, as long as he overworked, he would feel dizzy and heart-cuckoo."

Qin Zhiyong has never talked much, and he answered only after asking him. His memory is unusual and he often answered without checking the documents. The accuracy is often the same as the documents contained. Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction and said:

"There were almost two years before and after the Battle of Songjin. Perhaps Dorgon repeatedly took this magical powder during this period, and maybe this disease is now caused."

The Ming army won a small victory in the early stage of the Battle of Songjin, and the war between the two sides continued. If Dorgon had to take medicine powder before each battle to increase his killing power, the dosage he took would be excessive. Bai Hengdu nodded frequently when he heard this. Chongzhen naturally knew that Dorgon was still a short-lived ghost and died at the age of 39. He was hunting and fell off a horse, injured his leg, and then he died. Some people even said that he died by taking medicine stones by mistake. But how could he know that the medicine stones he took when he was cured and the toxins that Dorgon had consumed in his body for many years, so he was unable to treat it!

Of course, I can't talk about Dorgon's short life with the ministers, but it made Chongzhen firm his mind. Chongzhen glanced at everyone and said:

"Have you all listened to you. Although this magical powder has the effect of forcibly improving strength, its toxicity cannot be underestimated. We don't care whether Dorgon's disease is related to this medicine. We just don't want to see that we should take medicine in front and back of the Ming Dynasty. The medicine in the rear is to indulge in lust, and the medicine in front is to kill the enemy. Of course, it is better to kill the enemy than to indulge in lust, but it is not necessary to take medicine. First, we can improve the training level and train a strong army. Second, we can equip the submachine guns in a short time. This is a weapon for close combat. With these two points, why should we be afraid of close combat with the Qing army! Dear friends, please don't mention the matter of letting the soldiers in battle take medicine in the future."

When everyone heard what the emperor said, they thought it was right. If Da Ming went to bed and took medicine, and if he went to battle, he would take medicine in the whole country, he would take medicine if he had anything to do, then Da Ming would definitely be very ill. When Du Jun thought of the funny part, he couldn't help laughing, and then he forced himself to hold it back. The funny look made Chongzhen laugh and laughed.

However, Chongzhen remembered that stimulants were repeatedly banned in later generations, and Griffith, a famous American sprinter; Joyna died suddenly because she took banned drugs, and she died at only 38 years old. This Joyna set a 100-meter world record for women with 10.49 seconds, and this result was no longer popular. In addition to 100 meters, she also set a world record of 21.34 seconds in the 200-meter race. In addition, there seem to be about 20 athletes who died because of taking stimulants, so taking medication cannot spread in the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen then said:

"There must not be mentioned to the public about the Qing army taking Divine Power Powder. Qin Aiqing, Jinyiwei's related persons, etc., must also issue a closure order and no leakage shall be made."

Everyone replied at the same time:

"Abide by the order."

The people agreed well, but they thought in their hearts that this matter would not be hidden for a long time. With the level of the doctors at this time of the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to prepare similar prescriptions. Maybe it will not take long before such prescriptions will spread. The Ming New Army may not take such drugs, but it is hard to say that Zuo Liangyu and others will not let their subordinates take them. Besides, even if they are not used in the army, maybe players may not be able to use them on the increasingly popular football field.

How could Chongzhen consider so much? What Du Jun said just now touched Chongzhen, and Chongzhen said solemnly:

"Du Aiqing said just now, he speaks bluntly and criticizes current problems. Well, it makes sense to speak. I appreciate it very much. In the past few decades of the Ming Dynasty, the extravagant trend is not a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. This is one. Second, it is impossible to use aphrodisiacs occasionally to increase the fun in the room, but it must not be abused. In my opinion, the proliferation of aphrodisiacs such as aphrodisiacs are one that harms the body and will harm yourself, and the other is that they are harmful to the customs and harm the world. In addition, there are all kinds of fake drugs that are simply harmful to people. Therefore, I am considering strengthening medical management. For aphrodisiacs, especially the need to strengthen supervision, and it is necessary to prevent such drugs with too many side effects from harming. At that time, as for how to supervise, another method can be drawn up. In addition, although I do not require myself to "preserve the laws of nature and eliminate human desires", the extravagant trend of the Ming Dynasty should be appropriately restrained, and when necessary, it should also stop this trend of indulgence. Du Jun said it right, if the trend of indulgence is prosperous, everyone will have a desire to compete, so how can there be no end? Those who indulgence in lust will consume a lot of money. If the trend of indulgence in the officialdom is prevalent, the trend of corruption will naturally become more intense. If this continues, it will inevitably be that when you are a greedy official, you will be timid for your generals. I am sincere to say that the world is simpler, whether you are a rank or a general, you will be more difficult and simple, and I will be very relieved!”

Chongzhen knew that the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was even more serious than what he said, and how many people would respond sincerely if they advocated hardship and simplicity! It was not the same in later generations. Most officials only had mistresses and third-children, and of course they could not handle it with a little money, so they all became corruption one by one. Thinking of this, he sighed, which made everyone present feel terrified. Chongzhen thought of it, and he didn't know whether it would curb the extravagance and indulgence in the Ming society through a round of economic and political reshuffle.
