Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 498 Patient Arrangement
  This information contains a lot of content, including prescriptions with different ratios of various medicinal materials, the number of patients, the degree of infection, and... the frequency of use of drugs with different prices.

Gu Xun needs to use this information to determine several prescriptions with the highest possible applicability based on the different degrees of infection and the dosage ratio of the drugs. Among them, the ratio of medicinal materials is a very critical point.

In this pre-Qin world, there was no such shortage of food. The variety and output of food were so impressive that even South Korea, the largest among the seven countries, could afford to maintain a standing army of hundreds of thousands. However, medicinal materials... were still scarce materials. .

In this era, most people still think that medicines, which are used to treat diseases and save lives, are spiritual creatures that are naturally raised and cannot be produced on a large scale through cultivation. Therefore, most medicinal materials are still purely wild, and only a few species are It is cultivated in a few areas.

In this way, the potency of medicinal materials is generally not bad, but the quantity is very unsatisfactory. It is precisely because things are rare that many people look down on medical treatment.

Even with Gu Xun's current brain power and superb medical skills, it still took him half a day, even missing his meal, to sort out this information and come up with preliminary ideas for dispensing the medicine.

After basically having the manuscript, Gu Xun copied the paper and pen, and the pen moved like a dragon. He wrote down the contents of three or four pieces of paper, and then handed it to Master Ben who had been waiting beside him:
  "Master Ben, please go and collect the medicinal materials according to these recipes now."

Master Ban took the paper and didn't rush to read the content. Instead, he asked, "Doctor Gu, you haven't actually investigated it yet. Do you want to confirm the prescription now?"

A major difference between Mohism and Confucianism lies in the word practice. Confucianism founded by Confucius sometimes overly pursues the so-called learning. Learning without thinking will lead to failure, and thinking without learning will lead to peril. However, beyond learning and thinking, there is Somewhat empty.

However, the Mohist school founded by Mozi attached great importance to practical operations and emphasized doing it personally. Moreover, it is impossible to learn things like mechanical skills without getting started with them.

Therefore, Master Ben would make this suggestion to Gu Xun at the beginning, and then raise doubts again at this time.

However, Gu Xun is also very clear about this issue. Medical skills are also the most difficult to talk about without practicing them. However, specific situations must be dealt with in detail...

"Master Ben, I know this, but it's a little late. The preparation of medicinal materials cannot be completed overnight. It must be prepared as soon as possible. Moreover, these prescriptions will generally be fine. In the end, it should be just some fine-tuning. There won’t be a big problem if we raise this ratio.”

After Gu Xun's reminder, Master Ban also reacted. He hit his forehead with his machine arm and said with a wry smile, "Old man, I forgot about this. You are still thoughtful."

"In this case, I will immediately start collecting the medicinal materials to ensure that I won't miss the time."

With that said, Master Ban lowered his head and planned to take a brief look at these prescriptions. However, when he took a look at them, he felt a little stupid.

"I said, Doctor Gu, the word "prescription" of yours is not very easy to identify."

Master Ben thought about his words several times before finally saying this.

The serious doctors these days are all scholars and intellectuals. Even if they can't do calligraphy, they can at least do it neatly and cleanly. Unlike modern doctors, their handwriting can only be understood by people in the pharmacy.

Gu Xun's handwriting is not very good. Just now, he was sloppy and splashed with ink, which was even more wanton. Coupled with the complicated seal script characters, the final result was that Master Ban couldn't understand the pile of consecutive words. What are the lines that come together.

"...Uh hahaha..." The atmosphere was silent for a while. Gu Xun was a little embarrassed. He could only laugh a few times and then write another one.

………………

After taking care of the business, Gu Xun rushed to the restaurant to have a long lunch, and then settled down at his temporary residence.

This time, his trip to Yan State yielded less than he expected. The main reason was that Yan Dan left Jidu and went to Xianyang first, causing him to lose a key goal. But it doesn't matter. If you can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple, there will always be a chance.

As for Concubine Yan's problem... Gu Xun had some difficulty making up his mind to actively intervene, so in the end he just sent a letter. As for what choice the woman would make, that was her business.

Just like in the original plot, she was separated from her daughter, imprisoned by Donghuang Taiyi, and left alone for half her life. Whether she chose to resist or reject the ending that she didn't know, it was her choice. Gu Xun would not interfere any more.

When he returned to his residence, Yan Lingji was still outside and did not come back as he expected. On the contrary, it was Xue Nu who did not hide quietly in the guest room, but sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, seeming to be waiting for Gu Xun, with an expression on her face. As cold and emotionless as ever.

Seeing her posture, Gu Xun couldn't help but take the initiative and asked:
  "Uh... Miss Yuki, are you okay?"

"..." Xue Nu looked at Gu Xun, her big crystal clear eyes blinked, and then she replied, "Is there something I want to ask?"

"Well, what's the matter?" Gu Xun looked at the place, took a stone stool and sat down not far from the snow girl, and asked carefully.

"Last night, what Mr. Gu asked me to do..." When the words came to her mouth, the snow girl hesitated a little, but her eyes flashed with determination and she continued to ask, "What does it mean?"

"Why do you ask this?" Gu Xun did not answer, but asked with a smile.

"I think... Master Gu wants to find someone who can pull out that sword, so I want to try again." Xue Nu hesitated and briefly explained a few words, but she didn't really answer Gu. On the idea of ​​asking.

"For so-called repayment?" However, Gu Xun knew her true purpose as soon as she heard it, and confirmed it with a smile.

The snow girl nodded silently.

She insisted on repaying this favor, not because she must repay a favor, but because she simply did not want to owe a man a favor, especially a semi-stranger man who made her feel a little strange. The person who wanted to save her was a familiar friend like Gao Jianli. On the contrary, I don’t care so much about the so-called kindness.

"Well...then there's no need to worry. I said yesterday that you have nothing to repay me, and I don't need it."

"I want to try again. Yesterday I was only a little bit short." The snow girl didn't mean to give up and said again.

Gu Xun frowned, this woman is a bit arrogant...

"It's not necessary. In fact, pulling it out to the level you did last night is enough."

"Then..." Xue Nu still wanted to speak, but Gu Xun raised her hand to stop her.

"Let me tell you clearly, I am really looking for someone who can draw the Ice Soul Sword, hold the Ice Soul Sword, and become the sword master. You basically have this qualification, but you yourself do not meet the Ice Soul Sword that I want. The image of the sword master, so...that’s enough.”

"There is no need to worry about repaying your kindness. If you really can't let go of this, you can consider it later, when you can rely on the power of the Mo family."
