In May, the rainy season begins in Ningzhou. Heavy rain often lasts for more than ten days, continuously.
Because it is located in the lower reaches of rivers, there are many rivers in Ningzhou, and flood conditions have become the norm.
Coupled with the spread of the plague, it is simply adding insult to injury.
In the middle of the year, doctors from the National Medical Center in Beijing finally arrived in Ningzhou.
Also arriving at the same time were important figures such as Zhao Lingbo and Li Bitong.
"According to His Majesty's instructions," Zhao Lingbo explained the whole story, "When I went to court, I explained what happened in Ningzhou and the courtiers said nothing more."
Immortal cultivators naturally do not want mortals to die on a large scale.
"This plague spread due to water source infection," Li Bitong took out a stack of memorials. "After the princess unveiled the fig leaf in the court hall, memorials came from all over the place one after another. This time no one detained them midway.
In addition to Ningzhou, there are several states in the south where the same plague has also broken out."
Xu Mochen's face was solemn. He didn't expect schistosomiasis to spread so quickly.
"Princess," he pulled Shen Zhining, "this is Concubine Xian. She knows a lot. She is now in charge of drug development. From now on, you will be a team and we must fight side by side."
Zhao Lingbo's eyes flashed, and she saluted Shen Zhining: "Please give me more advice from the Concubine Xian."
Shen Zhining responded with a smile.
The matter was urgent, so as soon as a team of people arrived, they immediately started working.
Not long after, another group of people wearing cloaks and Nuo masks arrived.
"Your Majesty," Tang Derun reported in a low voice, "you are a disciple of the Yingyue Sect."
The masters of making poisons and poisons also arrived. Xu Mochen breathed a sigh of relief: "Go and settle them and put them directly under the control of Concubine Xian."
Although these people have severed their ties to immortality and given up on the path to immortality, they still possess some magical powers.
If something goes wrong, it would be a serious matter.
Moreover, Shen Zhining compiled information on various compounds for them to study in detail.
"Understood," Tang Derun accepted the order, "They also brought a lot of medicines and raw materials left by Shen Changfeng."
"Very good," Xu Mochen was very satisfied. Zhong Qi was still very capable. "If they need anything, just ask them and we will fully cooperate."
After arranging these, Wang Boan came in wearing a raincoat. Due to the heavy rain, he was soaked to the skin.
"Your Majesty," he saluted hurriedly without caring about himself, "I have just returned from an inspection tour outside.
Weichen has already had people start implementing the plan given by Concubine Xian last time, but the effect was not good.
Many villagers still think that they are sick because the water god and mountain god are angry. Rather than doing anything else, it is better to worship the god."
The limitations of this era are there, and Xu Mochen cannot say that the people are stupid.
"The other thing is to collect snails and feces," Wang Bo'an sighed. "Some villagers just used hoes to drive people away, saying that the people sent out by the prefecture were crazy."
Deep-rooted thoughts are difficult to shake.
Xu Mochen pondered and thought of other ways.
"Go to Yingyue Sect and get some Nuo noodles," Xu Mochen gestured to Tang Derun, "and a few immortal cultivators who can dance with Nuo noodles."
Tang Derun was stunned: "Your Majesty, you want to watch the Nuo Noodle Dance."
"I don't want to see it," Xu Mochen shook his head, "it's for the villagers to see. Aren't they going to sacrifice to some god?
When the drug is researched, we will ask the Nuo masters to go to the village to perform Nuo noodle dance, and then give them drug treatment. In the name of the gods, we will let the villagers implement our measures."
Since you have faith, then use the means of faith to deal with these people in a targeted manner.
Wang Bo'an's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is planning to use some sacrificial rituals to influence these stubborn people."
"As long as one village gets treatment," Xu Mochen is very confident, "as soon as the news spreads, everyone will follow suit.
Is it just a promotion of Nuo noodle dance? Just treat it as a kind of ritual entertainment."
Even if there are immortal cultivators and gods in this world, Xu Mochen, who comes from Blue Star, has a materialistic worldview in his bones.
But this idea is very remarkable in the eyes of Tang Derun and Wang Boan.
As expected of your Majesty, he is a master at deceiving people.
When Xu Mochen came to the door, all he felt was the bits of rain outside. The weather was so uncomfortable this season.
The times have many limitations and can only be reformed step by step.
When will electricity be provided and air conditioners and dehumidifiers installed, the quality of life will be improved.
Even with the help of a group of immortal cultivators, the development of drugs still takes a lot of time.
After screening, Shen Zhining found the latest production technology from Du Niang and confirmed it.
This is the best choice made by combining some raw materials brought by Yingyue Sect.
But even so, there are still many chemicals lacking.
Zhao Lingbo has just started his research journey of chemical elements. It is impossible to follow up in one go.
In the end, Shen Zhining could only choose a shortcut and use magic to directly catalyze the refining.
However, she wrote out the inner principles, names of chemical raw materials, and detailed production methods for everyone's reference.
The human race produces and manufactures by itself, so it can only be said to be done slowly.
In this way, the research is divided into two parts.
Some of them are human doctors headed by Zhao Lingbo, as well as the Li family's children. They started from the basics and gnawed away at professional knowledge bit by bit.
On the other side, Shen Zhining took the lead, including Li Bitong and the disciples of the Yingyue Sect, using magic to quickly create raw materials and catalyze the reaction, hoping to get the medicine as quickly as possible.
But after all, the number of immortal cultivators is limited, and refining medicine requires spiritual energy. Without their immortality, they can absorb very little spiritual energy. They need to rest for a long time after using it once, making large-scale mass production difficult to achieve.
By the end of May, they had only produced a small pile of praziquantel.
Fortunately, Zhao Lingbo has gradually figured out the complicated relationship here.
It turns out that this is what elements and synthesis mean.
For reference, of course, there is also the periodic table of elements given by Shen Zhining.
At present, the human race does not need to understand the principle of absorption for the time being, but directly goes towards the results, which invisibly speeds up the research speed.
This kind of thing is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. The first part will definitely be slow, but as the areas continue to be completed, the later parts will become faster and faster.
Originally, Zhao Lingbo didn't think highly of Shen Zhining. She was just a beauty, and she was also His Majesty's virtuous concubine. What's so great about her?
However, she could not resist Shen Zhining's rich knowledge of cheats.
The new world that opened up completely changed her original thinking.
The relationship between the two is getting better and better. Basically, they stick together every day and communicate in depth.
As for Xu Mochen, they were completely ignored.
It will take time to continue manufacturing drugs and arrange some measures.
Xu Mochen has ushered in new changes here, and Zisu gave the exact news.
In June, there is a high possibility that exotic fairy mountains will appear.
Xu Mochen clenched the note in his hand. For Gu Jinge, he was bound to get this job.
Of course, the poisonous snake lurking in the dark will not easily let go of such a good opportunity.
