Chapter 1583: New Transfer to Bancang

Tang Shenwei said: "Cinchona frost is taken from the bark of the 'Queli tree' in Dongshengzhou. This sapling is now planted in the South China Sea, Fujian, and Guangdong. By the way..."

After speaking, he bowed to Su Shi and said, "I heard that Master is good at planting trees. If we can promote this tree, it will be a great merit."

Su Shi said: "I read information at the Agricultural College before coming here and found that there are several types of trees. One of them is a tall tree, which can reach a height of five feet. There are also several types of low shrubs that grow easily."

"The doctor of the Tang Dynasty made sense. If this tree could be promoted in China, it would be of great use in Jiangnan and Jinghu. With the development of Jinghu, the people suffered from miasma. Dysentery was also a disease that seriously injured the immigrants.

.”

"Shrub propagation is nothing more than sowing, dividing, cutting, layering, and bud grafting. In short, it is easy to do once you have a tree. Back then, Uncle Yao and I were promoting citrus and borneol camphor in Kelong, and it was very fast."

"The natural conditions in Bianjing are not suitable, but Hangzhou can be tested. Shen Yuan's suggestion is very good. It just so happens that the Zhitian outside Hangzhou has been taken back by the imperial court, and a few acres have been set aside to set up a nursery. I will study this cinchona tree!

"

Speaking of this, I remembered something: "Shen Yuan, is it true that Sheng San Zi Fang cannot be used?"

Tang Shenwei couldn't help but roll his eyes: "The prescription of Shengsanzi is hot and dry in nature. It is suitable for the cold and humid riverside areas in the north, but it is not suitable for the hot and humid areas in the south. Therefore, this medicine can cure ten thousand people in Xuhuang, but it cannot be used in Hangzhou."

.”

"If you practice medicine without distinguishing between yin and yang diseases and treat them all, you will kill with a sword! Master, don't think that one side is omnipotent, okay?"

Well, Su Shi didn't dare not listen. He and Shen Kuo had previously planned to co-author a medical monograph, but now it seems that it's okay not to write the book.

If Su You heard what these two guys had in mind, he would probably laugh his head off.

Shen Kuo's nephew often took Chuanxiong. The doctor Zheng Shuxiong saw it and advised him: "Don't take Chuanxiong regularly. Eating too much will cause death." Shen Kuo's nephew and the wife of his relative Zhang Shitong all died because of this.

Shen Kuo himself suffered from severe back pain. If he sat for a little longer, he would need to walk slowly and walk more than a thousand steps before he could move freely.

Finally, a general under his command met and asked the marshal if he often brushed his teeth with Sophora flavescens. Shen Kuo replied that he always liked to use Sophora flavescens powder and did not like toothpaste. He wanted to brush his teeth while also taking care of his health, which was beautiful.

The general couldn't laugh or cry, and said that Sophora flavescens hurts the kidneys and makes the waist heavy. This is the cause of your illness, Commander-in-Chief.

Shen Kuo then switched to using toothpaste to brush his teeth. A year later, his back problem was cured.

If these two guys publish medical books, I'm afraid many people will fall into the trap.

What Su You didn't know was that in real history, because of their fame, someone actually compiled the medical prescriptions recorded by Su Shi and Shen Kuo into a book and named it "Su Chen Liang Prescription". Many doctors with two swords used their fame to treat diseases.

, regardless of dialectics, it has really harmed many people.

Su Shi said: "Now the epidemic seems to be under control, but we must learn lessons."

"Although the plague has been driven away, relief can only play a temporary role. The focus is to promote medicine."

"Because Hangzhou is a metropolis with an important land and water transportation route from north to south, the plague may spread to all directions."

"If we want long-term peace and stability in Hangzhou, we must establish a government-run pharmacy. Now that there are still some donations from the gentry and citizens, I will ask the Queen Mother to allocate some funds. We will build a medical school in Hangzhou to treat diseases and spread medicine.

how?"

Pang An couldn't help being overjoyed: "This should be done. The place where I practice medicine is in Zhong'anqiao Temple. Why not use that land to set up a pharmacy."

Su Shi nodded: "Then it's settled, we'll go see the place again after this matter is over."

Just as they were chatting, a middle-ranking officer came from outside the village, followed by a small yellow man: "The bachelor is here, it seems that a certain family is easy to find."

Su Shi didn't know him, but he was used to eating and drinking, so he quickly asked: "I wonder what reprimand your envoy brought?"

The lieutenant general was confused: "What reprimand? A certain family came out of Beijing to inspect the shipping department. When they came..." After speaking, he looked at Pang An and Tang Shenwei: "Who are these two?"

Su Shi said: "These are the heroes who contributed to the epidemic control this time. This is Pang Zian, a famous doctor in Huangzhou, and this is Tang Shenyuan, the Imperial Medical Doctor and academician of the Capital University School of Medicine."

The lieutenant handed the bamboo basket in the hand of Xiao Huangmen behind him to Su Shi: "Nothing, just that when the visit comes, the sage asked the bachelor to bring something. After the delivery is completed, the certain family will leave."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away in a hurry.

Both Su Shi and Pang An and Tang Shenwei were a little confused. When they opened the bamboo basket, Tang Shenwei exclaimed: "Dragon group!"

Zhang Shunmin recorded in his notes "Hua Yuan Lu": "First Ding Jin Gong was the transfer envoy to Fujian, and he first made it into a phoenix dumpling and then a dragon dumpling. The tribute could not be more than forty cakes, so it was specially planned to be offered as an offering, even though he was a close minister.

, I only heard about it but never saw it.”

Tang Shenwei served as the prince's physician and had been in and out of the palace, but he had seen him before.

Although Pang An was old enough, he had never seen such a top-quality tea group before. He couldn't help but be shocked: "This is a great reward!"

Su Shi lifted the basket and saw the four words "Jin Feng Bao Ci" at the bottom. He immediately understood and was inexplicably moved: "This is a gift from the Empress Dowager."

Seeing Pang An's greedy look, he couldn't help but smile and said: "You can drink the tea as soon as it is given to you. My uncle Yao always said, 'Go up the mountain to hunt birds, and those who see you will be rewarded.' Zian, you are in for a treat today."

…

In May, Shen Kuo, the transfer envoy of the Four Roads in Hebei Province, reported that the Suncunxi project in Daming Prefecture was completed.

Shangshu Sheng had previously reported: "The great river flowing eastward is a critical danger for China. After the Battle of Dawu, when it flows from the boundary river into the sea, China will be completely in danger. We must be deeply concerned about it."

So he issued a eloquent edict to Fan Bailu, and Zhao Jun painted tin strips to hear about it.

After Fan Bailu and others came back from the inspection, they reported: "I followed the route from the mouth of the Yellow River's only stream to the Jiehe River, and then east to Haikou. After familiarizing myself with the situation of the river, I divided the river from the Jiehe River to the Puzhai area in Haikou.

The envoys each said that before the Yellow River flows, the boundary river is one hundred and fifty steps wide, goes down to fifty steps, and is one foot to five feet deep, down to one foot.

After the Yellow River flows, it is five hundred and forty paces wide and three to two hundred paces deep. It is three feet to five feet deep and two feet deep.

It is known that when the nature of water goes down, when it moves quickly, it will be scraped away and become hollow and slightly deeper, which is consistent with the theory of Zhang Rong in the Han Dynasty."

Zhao Junxi reported: "Since the opening of the river in the fourth year of Yuanfeng and the emergence of the Dawu Road, it has gained momentum. Over the past eight years, the two banks of the boundary river have been washed away, becoming increasingly wider and even the bottom has become empty. The trend towards the sea is very rapid. Although it is extremely swollen,

But for hundreds of miles above Dawu, there is no way to overflow. This is the danger of the river flowing deep and fast."

"Now the Sun Village Road has been opened and can be branched into three branches to alleviate the trouble of downstream. Although it has not ensured a regular flow in winter and summer, it has the potential to be done. The ministers secretly said that since this dynasty, no big river has flowed safely.

It is so convenient for Yu’s traces.”

"Let's use the method of scouring the sand with water, go deeper and go down, and the rapids will surge. There will be only broad and deep, but no shallow sediments."

"Now that water conservancy has been fully developed below Bianjing, China will be able to defend the country for a hundred years. There is no reason to lose all dangers and obstacles, and there is no need to worry about the emperor."

With great joy, he rewarded all water conservancy ministers below Bianjing, and ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to establish a water conservancy bureau to take charge of river defense all over the world.

This year, in addition to the disasters on the two Zhejiang roads, there is also a great harvest in the world. In autumn and July, the Ministry of Household Affairs ordered all the roads to go to Fengshu Prefecture and County, increase the amount of money, and go out to collect crops.

The construction of the third type of grain storage warehouse in the Song Dynasty, Zhuanbancang, began.

Although this Zhuanbancang has the same name as the previous Zhuanbancang, the essence is completely different. It has become a commodity circulation granary after ensuring the country's basic grain storage. Compared with Changpingcang's tough measures, Zhuanbancang is mild.

Through market behavior, the state can achieve the purpose of moderating the fluctuation of food prices in some areas and small areas by transferring goods in warehouses to circulate grain.

The income generated will continue to be used to subsidize the national grain reserve project.

Although on the surface, this was requested by Su Yuanzhen, Sima Kang, Liu Anshi, and Fan Zuyu, this idea was actually implemented in accordance with Su You's step-by-step plan.

After this year, the Song Dynasty will have a national standing reserve - Changpingcang; a disaster relief reserve - Guanghuicang; a commercial reserve - Zhuanbancang; plus some spontaneous grain storages such as free warehouses, clan houses, and small households

With the Shengdou reserves, the Song Dynasty basically solved the food problem.

This great achievement will be a resounding political achievement for the next governors. Following the footsteps of the Duke of Shu, he will be so arrogant.

In the eighth month, Renyin ordered the county governor to teach the county magistrate the four virtues and three of them, and the Ministry of Personnel inspected the governor's report.

This is when the imperial court began to fulfill its promise, and local state and county officials began to use political performance evaluation as a hard standard for promotion.
