Chapter 207 Increase the dosage?
Chapter 207 Increase the dosage?
"Your Majesty, this cannot go on any longer!" A minister looked anxious, with the word "sincerity" almost written on his head in his eyes.
The emperor was also very worried. If he didn't control the flow of people, it would be easy for the economy to collapse. The sickness that had finally recovered would start to wander around again. If this continued, even the tax revenue would be gone.
If we relax the policy now, spring ploughing will be a little late, but it is not completely hopeless.
"Go to the Imperial Hospital and call the director." The emperor couldn't make up his mind for a moment, but suddenly remembered that An Qiao had increased the dosage at the beginning and was able to quickly control the disease.
There was another thing that the emperor couldn't understand: why some people in the store got sick while others were fine.
"Summon the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple to the palace." The emperor thought for a moment and said again.
He has to ask about every link clearly, otherwise if he makes a mistake at one step, it will be disastrous.
While waiting for Shaoqing and the head of the Imperial Hospital, the small meeting room was noisy again.
On the one hand, they debated the impact of the plague and argued that the country should not be opened.
On the one hand, they were arguing over the tax and neither of them was willing to give in.
There were also a few who looked around, either not saying anything or trying to smooth things over.
The emperor sighed in his heart again and said that he could not be an emperor. Apart from anything else, the damage to his ears was not something that ordinary people could endure.
Soon, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau arrived. The thing the old gentleman feared most during these days was "the emperor summons you", which was more frightening than his grandson having a sexual fetish.
"Your Highness." The old head of the dean knelt down and did not dare to look up.
"Let me ask you, have you ever used the dosage of medicine that An Qiao gave you at the beginning on anyone?" The emperor's majesty was the kind that could scare the people kneeling below him and make them tremble even if he was just asking a question.
"Reporting to the emperor, it has been used." The old head of the academy did not dare to guess the emperor's mind, fearing that he would be scolded again or even lose his head if he was not careful.
Although His Majesty the Emperor is not the kind of person who would randomly kill people, this matter is of great importance and the old head of the court understands it.
"How are the people who used it? Are there any sequelae?" The emperor became interested. Would it be better if there were no problems?
"Those who have used it have indeed recovered very quickly, the fastest among all people. It is very effective in reducing fever and curing diseases. However, the dosage is very large. The two little girls were too thin, so after taking the medicine, they said they wanted to vomit and felt dizzy. I fed them a lot of sweets before they recovered. So... I think this medicine seems to be only suitable for young and middle-aged people or people who are usually strong and healthy. The dosage currently placed in various places is the dosage that I think is most suitable for everyone after proportioning. But for young and middle-aged people, it may be slower, but I dare not make the decision on my own to distribute such a large amount of medicine."
The head of the dean was almost touching the ground, and the emperor seemed to have just noticed it at this moment.
"My dear, please get up quickly. I was so busy that I forgot to ask you to get up."
Gu Qingyun also arrived outside the hall at this moment.
Seeing the drama going on inside, I couldn't help but feel my temples throbbing. This was much more torturous than investigating the case.
Gu Qingyun also stood in the hall and explained why his eyelids had been twitching this morning, first the left eye and then the right eye.
It was a whole day, with no rest at all. In the morning, Chen Xi came to report the case in a panic and made no sense. Xin Hai hadn't come back yet, and in the afternoon, he was called into the palace to listen to these masters singing. Before he even left the Dali Temple, he was grabbed by Chen Xi and wouldn't leave.
She insisted that she would die if she left Shaoqing's eyes.
Zhao Huaiqing and Wu Huan laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs. They said that the age and gender spans of people who like Shaoqing nowadays are so huge.
"Si Yu, how does the young lady in this restaurant control the disease? It stands to reason that as long as one person in a place gets the disease, it is unlikely that everyone will be spared." The emperor asked Gu Qingyun who was standing below him.
The emperor specifically called him to be intimate, in fact, to protect Gu Qingyun. He reminded others that Gu Qingyun came to the palace today only to answer questions, and they were not allowed to bother him with other matters.
Gu Qingyun also understood quickly, with a grateful look on his face, "Reporting to the emperor, when Miss An gave me the prescription last time, she specifically told me that this prescription was just something she made up on her own, and whether it is useful or not needs to be handed over to someone more powerful to know."
Gu Qingyun recalled and said, "The other day when I was helping the Kyoto government to count refugees, I discovered a strange phenomenon. The refugees who drank the food cooked by the young lady's charity hall had a lower chance of contracting a disease... Before entering the palace today, I went to ask about it. It turned out that the young lady put more medicinal herbs in the food than other charity halls, and most of these medicinal herbs were used to treat wind-cold and wind-heat in the market. She put whatever she had in the food."
The emperor interrupted Gu Qingyun, "Where's the recipe? Do you have it?"
Gu Qingyun shook his head. "No, the young lady just added some common herbs, which can be bought in almost all drug stores, and sometimes even just some Sterculia lychnophora. However, the young lady told me that almost no one in the store was infected with the disease. On the one hand, it was because they originally ran a restaurant and they usually had good food, unlike many ordinary people who did not have enough food. People who could afford to eat would recover faster from this disease, not because they had good doctors, but because they were usually stronger than ordinary people. Therefore, the little girl in the restaurant was fine after taking the scary medicine. She also gave them a lot of food every day, and even started making medicinal food since the beginning of the plague. They took more herbs than others, so the disease naturally stayed away from them."
Seeing that everyone was listening to the story attentively, Gu Qingyun concluded, "Those who are in good health can increase the dosage. If you don't want to get sick, you should boil the herbs and drink the water. You may get better. In this way, the probability of getting sick is low, and the population can flow quickly. Also, if you give one mask to each family, there will be people working. The court and the people will not starve to death because of this."
Gu Qingyun said so many words in one breath, leaving the others looking at each other in admiration.
This Shaoqing is really good at diverting trouble away, and the key is that he is so successful every time.
For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the whole house, and the emperor was quietly thinking about something.
At first, everyone thought that the young lady's surprises had ended there, but unexpectedly there were other surprises. The emperor was also surprised. This was really one surprise after another.
"Are you sure?" After all, it concerns the lives of many people, so the emperor has to be cautious.
"What I can be sure of is that eating well can indeed make one less susceptible to disease, but the dosage of medicine still needs to be determined by the Imperial Medical Bureau. This is the same as teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and cannot be standardized. However, it is still okay to drink herbs on a daily basis." There was no panic in Gu Qingyun's eyes, but rather calmness.
