Yunxi discussed a few more words with Zhu Rui on how to use this large-sample double-blind controlled experimental method, and Zhu Rui wrote them down one by one in his notebook.
"These problems have been solved. Although the method is very complicated to use, we finally have a method. It is better than nothing." Zhu Ju added.
"That's right, something is better than nothing." Yunxi said with a smile.
After saying this, he continued: "My nephew solved a problem for my uncle. Is it okay for my uncle to talk to his nephew? The nephew said that the nephew just asked my uncle to study the kind of thing from the Hanzhou continent.
The crops are coming.”
"This kind of crop grows in hot and humid places, so my nephew said that it should not grow in Henan. This kind of thing cannot be used as medicine, let alone edible, but its fruits are extremely elastic and remain so after being cut at will, so they are quite useful. Nephew
I want Uncle Wu to take it back to Kaifeng to study its physical properties. Although it is not considered a medicinal material or a crop, it grows in the ground and can be considered the same as what Uncle Wu is studying, so I asked Uncle Wu to
Do some research."
Of course, the thing Yunxi was talking about was rubber. The usefulness of rubber has been said before and I won’t go into more details. Yunxi attached great importance to it. And the reason why he let Zhu Ru know that it was basically impossible for rubber to grow in Henan.
The purpose of studying physical properties is not to drink wine, but to let people in Kaifeng know that there is such a thing as rubber in the world.
At this stage, the biggest use of rubber is to wrap it on wheels and use it as tires. In the south, there are dense river networks, and there are not many people using private cars. Although the population in the north may be only one-third of that in the south, all types of vehicles are larger than those in the south.
There are only a lot more in the south; and Kaifeng, as the transportation center of several northern provinces, must have the most car-making craftsmen. When they know that there is something called rubber in the world, they will definitely realize that it can be used as tires on wheels, and rubber will naturally
be promoted.
Although Zhu Zhu prefers literature and medicine, he has also received military education since he was a child. He quickly understood the importance of rubber and said: "It's good that there is such a thing. But this kind of thing really can't grow in Henan?"
"This shouldn't be possible. In the Hanzhou continent, it grows in hot and humid places, even hotter and humid places than Changsha and other places. In Henan, it's so far north, I'm afraid it won't work." Yunxi didn't dare to say it. At present, rubber is not available.
It had been planted in places similar to Henan, and not even in the capital. Although Yunxi knew that it would definitely not survive, if Zhu Xi asked him why he was so sure, he couldn't answer, so he could only say this.
"If the Hanzhou continent is not successful, the Central Plains may not be impossible." Zhu Ju said confidently: "I have grown even Fujian crops in Kaifeng, and rubber trees may not be impossible."
"That's fine. My nephew gave Uncle Wu a few seeds, and Uncle Wu took them back to try." After Yunxi said this, he couldn't help but said: "The saying is that oranges grow in Huaibei, and they grow into tangerines. Uncle Wu should not hold them.
What a huge expectation. Even if it is planted, it will not be the same as the original rubber."
These words were just ordinary words of persuasion, but after Yunxi finished speaking, he saw that Zhu Xi seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly in an instant. Although he returned to normal immediately, Yunxi also noticed it.
"Uncle Wu, what did you think of just now?" Yunxi asked.
"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." Zhu Ru replied.
"It's a small matter? If it's really a small matter, Uncle Wu, you would never be like this." Yunxi didn't think much about it at first, but after hearing his answer, he thought more about it: "If it's really a small matter, he must have told me casually,
Rather than these words.'
"That's all, let's tell the officials about this." Zhu Ru sighed and said: "Guardians, I study medicine. Medicine is not only about prescribing prescriptions and decoctions for patients to drink and then cure their diseases, but also massage, acupuncture, and even incision.
Eliminating lesions on the skin is like the folk legend of Guan Yu scraping bones to cure poison.”
"Whether it is massage, acupuncture, or bone scraping to treat toxins, you need to have an understanding of the human body. Oh, what a mistake. Among the doctors from Henan that I called to Kaifeng, there is one who is very good at it.
He did massage, acupuncture, and even removed tumors on people's bodies. I thought he was also a miracle doctor, so I summoned him to Kaifeng."
"But I didn't expect that this man was an extremely morally corrupt person. In order to better understand the condition of a person's body, he went out in the middle of the night to steal corpses for dissection. The servants I sent to serve these doctors noticed him and found out. Later, he came from
Many human bones and paintings of dissected bodies were found in his residence, proving that he was already a habitual criminal."
"After I learned about this incident, I was furious. The skin and hair of your body are protected by your parents. Even your hair should not be damaged, let alone your body. This person is so disrespectful of human relations, and it is really a heinous crime. But if this matter is spread, because I have already punished him
If he is summoned to Kaifeng, the people may think that I caused him to do it. There is no excuse for such a thing, and I dare not execute him suddenly."
"In the end, I had to quietly clean up his collected bones and teeth, then find an excuse to expel him from Prince Zhou's Mansion, and have someone kidnapped him on his way back home, and locked him up in a place to slowly starve him.
Die." Zhu Ru said.
Due to the influence of traditional concepts, stealing corpses and dissecting corpses without the consent of the deceased's family were considered serious crimes at this time. If one was found, he would be exiled to the frontier forever. This doctor has collected so many bones and has so many different body paintings. He must have stolen them before.
, he had dissected so many corpses, and it had long been a capital crime. There was no problem with Zhu Xi handling it this way. He just felt that it was not honorable to speak out about it, so he did not want to tell Yunxi.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yunxi say: "Quick! Send someone to deliver the order quickly, we can't just let him die like this!"
"Guan family, what is this?" Zhu Zhu raised his head in confusion.
"How could he be allowed to die like this when he committed such a heinous crime?" Yunxi realized that the tone of his words just now was not right, and hurriedly said: "Of course a person who has committed such a heinous crime should be punished and not die like this."
"Secondly, my nephew has always opposed the use of private means to deal with people. Although this person deserves to die, he cannot be executed like this."
"Thirdly, although this man committed a heinous crime, the knowledge he gained from dissecting the body is still useful. His knowledge should be passed down, which will be more beneficial to the development of medicine." Yunxi tilted his head slightly and asked Zhu
He couldn't see his expression clearly and said.
"What the officials said is right, I should not execute him privately; the knowledge he gained from dissecting the body is also useful and should be passed on." After hearing Yunxi's words, Zhu Xi hurriedly said. (To be continued)
