Chapter 162 War is always started by the old man

In April 1682, there were lush fields near the coast of Qiongzhou Prefecture.

There is a green scene, and the harvest season of sweet potatoes has arrived.

In December last year, due to drought, the people of Qiongzhou Island planted a large number of sweet potatoes and potatoes under the guidance of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

These two crops are relatively drought tolerant.

Among the fields, there were people sitting on the ground everywhere.

With happy smiles on their faces, they were still chatting with each other.

"Those officials said that after digging out the sweet potatoes from the fields, you can boil them and eat them in your mouth! They are sweeter than honey!"

"I heard it's already ripe. Once it's confirmed, it can be harvested in the fields!"

"So good!"

For this reason, Zheng Kezang summoned a large number of imperial doctors from the imperial hospital.

Moreover, think about yourself, you have a luxurious imperial hospital, and the best doctors in the entire Ming and Zheng Dynasties are here. What will the people and the army do?

Every time Zheng Kezang passed by the wounded barracks and listened to the wailing of the Guards soldiers, he would always feel unbearable.

This book can be said to be a collection of common diseases that often occur among ordinary people.

[Get "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook"]

Shovel down the shovel in your hand and you will harvest piles of sweet potatoes in a short while. Place these sweet potatoes uniformly on the head of the field and take them back at night.

Many people secretly set up memorial tablets for Zheng Kezang at home. Some villages even set up shrines for Zheng Kezang in public areas and spontaneously burned incense to Zheng Kezang.

Therefore, Zheng Kezang wanted to use the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" to start promoting medicine and establish a Dongning Medical College to train more doctors to serve the army and the people.

However, Zheng Kezang was not paying attention to the food harvest because he was busy with more important things, which was to promote medicine and medical skills.

But for his own ambition and the revival of Ming Dynasty, he could not stop his steps.

The main reason was Zheng Kezang's consideration in many aspects, the most important of which was that the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" contained a large number of illustrations of Chinese herbal medicine.

Thinking of this, Zheng Kezang silently called up the system.

Not far away, the village chief rode over slowly on the only donkey in the village.

With the popularization of "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual", it will be much better for Ming and Zheng to have children in the future.

The deleted part of "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual" has been supplemented and revised again.

After all, nothing counts in the face of hunger.

You know, the mortality rate of pregnant women during childbirth was as high as 40% in ancient times, and giving birth was a life-and-death experience.

This "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" is a good thing, but many of the articles related to medicine still need to be deleted. Zheng Kezang looked at it carefully, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.

In those remote villages, there is no such thing as a doctor.

After all, the transition from traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine is not a simple matter.

The feeling of gradually losing strength and hovering on the verge of death is something that almost every civilian in Qiongzhou Prefecture has experienced.

For the people who have experienced drought and no harvest for several months, nothing is more precious than food now.

"When all the sweet potatoes here are harvested, we must send some to Dongning Mansion so that King Yanping can taste the sweet potatoes produced in Qiongzhou!"

The "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" not only allowed more doctors to relieve the pain of a large number of people, but more importantly, it popularized reproductive medicine, giving babies and mothers in Ming and Zheng a higher chance of survival.

What Zheng Kezang understands better is that a lot of state means must be used in this process. Nowadays, Ming Zheng's medical resources are actually in short supply.

This shortage is mainly manifested in more prosperous prefectures and counties, such as Dongning Prefecture, where there are often a few doctors who run medical clinics.

He browsed the system mall for a while and finally locked on a book.

Among the many medical books, there is a reason why I chose the time-traveling book "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual".

The harvest season has arrived, and people can’t wait to see their harvest, Dongning Daily.

It can be perfectly connected with the current traditional Chinese medicine system of Ming and Zheng Dynasties.

At the beginning of the year, if King Yanping had not come to the rescue in time and allocated food from Yizhou and Luzon, many people might have starved to death in Qiongzhou Prefecture at the beginning of the year.

To put it bluntly, if I don’t give you some superstitions, even the dancing masters are already somewhat skilled, let alone the charlatans who are very popular these days and commit crimes in various villages, using the guise of hanging pots to save the world.

There are also quite a few.

"This year's sweet potato harvest came just in time. This is really a good thing. I heard that as long as we work fast enough and gather the fields together, we can plant them again at the end of the month! We can also harvest some before winter!"

Although the development of medicine cannot be achieved in a day or two.

There is no one among all the people on Qiongzhou Island who does not think of King Yanping.

After experiencing several wars, he realized the importance of medicine. Even if he could produce alcohol and allicin, it was not enough.

Secondly, this book covers everything from solving snoring during sleep to helping pregnant women give birth, from TCM acupuncture techniques to Western medicine surgical procedures, from the collection of folk herbal medicines to the steps for synthesizing Western medicines. It has it all, and is extremely cost-effective.

high.

Every Guard soldier is a precious asset of the Ming Dynasty and is by no means a consumable. A better medical environment must be provided for them.

In the expectant eyes of many villagers, he blurted out: "Dig! Hey, hey, hey! Slow down, sweet potatoes are not valuable, but they are still food!"

【80 points deducted】

"Yes! King Yanping really cares about our people!"

Harvest scenes are not limited to Qiongzhou Island, Zheng Kezang’s territory is experiencing the joy of harvest everywhere.

Every time this happened, he would think of the famous saying of later generations: wars are always started by old men, but it is young people who disappear.

With the efforts of Zheng Kezang and the doctors from Tai Hospital, the new "Dongning Doctor's Handbook" was born!

The Dongning Medical College project was also proposed by Zheng Kezang at the court meeting, and all civil and military officials supported it!

"The king's move is undoubtedly a great act of kindness that benefits the people!" Yang Ying, the household official, was the first to stand up and support him. His eldest son died when he first arrived on Yizhou Island and could not adapt to the weather. He was saddened by the scarcity of doctors in the Ming and Zheng Dynasties.

Endless.

"Then it's settled. Every year, a special amount of money will be allocated to the medical school to train doctors, and then the matter will be reported to the Dongning Daily to let the common people know!"

Zheng Kezang now has plenty of money. Not long ago, the Tatars just sent a wave of money, and he is worried that he has no place to use it.

The medical school needs to be built slowly, and it will not be effective so quickly. However, the Dongning Manufacturing Administration not far away sent Zheng Kezang shocking news!
