Tyrant, your vest fell off

Chapter 39 - Military Orders
Even Qin Yin, the ghost doctor of Shura, was helpless. It seemed that Weishan City was going to fall into hell completely.

Gu Qing lowered his head in frustration, and after a while, he raised his face, his eyes filled with the hope of breaking the boat.

"Send me an order! Inform all doctors and common people that if anyone can find out the cause of cold and fever and propose an effective treatment plan, a reward of [-] will be given. No, a reward of [-]."

"And I, Gu Qing, in the name of Weishan Chengshou, can't do anything except rebel and treason, and agree to any request of the other party."

"In addition, I will ask Your Majesty to give him another favor!"

At this time, Li Qingmei's eyes were shining brightly, don't get me wrong, she wasn't for the prefect's [-] bounty.

Instead, I finally know what this so-called cold and fever disease is all about.

Because this disease has another name, called malaria.

She was unfortunately infected when she was on a mission in a tropical rainforest, but she quickly found the right herbal medicine. Tianzhao is always hot, humid and rainy all year round, so maybe there is that medicine.

"Doctor, do you have any small shrubs here? Some are large trees, with red and green layers overlapping each other. The red ones are young leaves, and the green ones are old leaves."

"Oh, by the way, that kind of herb has small white flowers in summer, and the seeds are very small. It is called cinchona tree in our hometown."

The doctor thought for a long time, then ran all the way to ask the doctor who was treating him, and finally shook his head at Li Qingmei from a distance.

"Doctor, do you mean the quinine tree?"

At this time, a little drug boy asked suspiciously.

"That's right, that's quinine, quinine tree, do you know where it is?"

"What do you want that for? That tree is very evil. It's bitter all over its body. It doesn't even eat cattle and sheep. I heard from the old people that it's very poisonous!"

"Where is it? Take me to find it quickly, maybe Weishan City will be saved!"

"The whole area in the western suburbs is full of quinine trees, which have grown so tall!"

God bless Weishan City, there is salvation now!
Remove impurities from the bark or root bark of cinchona tree, dry, pulverize, mix evenly with soda lime, then repeatedly extract with petroleum ether, and combine the extracts.

After clarification, dilute sulfuric acid is added for extraction, and the acid layer is concentrated and crystallized to obtain quinine sulfate.

Quinine has the effect of inhibiting or killing the erythrocytic endotypic protozoa of Plasmodium falciparum, and is an important antimalarial drug.

With the current medical conditions, it is definitely not possible to purify and synthesize quinine sulfate in large quantities.

But direct cooking and frequent consumption are also effective.

The most urgent task is to find the quinine tree.

"Master Gu, I have a good plan! You can try it!"

"You? The cold and fever that the doctor Qin can't do anything about, will you have a solution?"

Gu Qing looked suspicious.

"My lord, it's not too late. In this situation, I can only be treated like a dead horse."

"If Weishan City is lucky enough to escape this catastrophe, it will be considered an immeasurable merit."

"Stop messing around! You're just an entry-level student! It's a very important time, don't mess around!"

Ying Li scolded loudly.

"I am willing to issue a military order! If the task cannot be completed, I am willing to punish the crime with military law!"

There was a sudden silence in the field, and after a long time, an officer beside Gu Qing asked:
"Do you know what a military order is? There are no jokes in the army. A military order is written in black and white, and it must be honored!"

"I know that if the epidemic cannot be cured, I am willing to live and die with Weishan City, and I will never live!"

Hey, in order to implement the treatment measures as soon as possible, she swore and swore, and issued a military order, which is really not easy!
"The only condition is that now everything must be done strictly according to what I said!"

"I have had this disease, and then I took the secret medicine and recovered!"

"Really! Well, tell me what you need us to do!"

Gu Qing seemed to have grabbed the last straw to save his life, with an excited expression on his face.

"First, the cause of this disease is complex. Generally speaking, it is transmitted by mosquitoes biting humans and animals."

"Master Gu, please mobilize all your strength to dredge the underground drains and ditches in the city, all stagnant water that may harbor dirt and breed mosquitoes, and sprinkle quicklime powder on it."

"Second, all the dense grass and forests in the city must be eradicated to ensure that mosquitoes cannot hide and reproduce in large numbers."

"Third, uninfected and infected people must be quarantined forcibly, and quarantine areas must be established, infected patients will be treated in a centralized manner, and dead patients will be cremated in a centralized manner."

"Fourth, I need Master Gu's cooperation to get the medicine in the west of the city! Now! Immediately! Immediately!"

"Okay! The old man will take a gamble! Come on!"

"Also, light a bonfire, set up a cauldron, the bigger the better, boil the fire, and wait for me to come back!"

Gu Qing assigned Li Qingmei's request in detail, and then took a few soldiers and personally accompanied Li Qingmei to the western suburbs to fetch medicine.

"Young master, why don't you stop such brazen behavior?"

"She's right. A dead horse is treated like a living horse doctor. A glimmer of hope is better than complete despair!"

Qin Yin kept treating patients while answering Yingli.

With his medical skills, even if he treats people without sleep or rest, he can save dozens of people a day at most.

But there are at least [-] patients in the city, he is really powerless and powerless.

Along the way, Gu Qing whipped his horsewhip anxiously, wishing he could fly to the western suburbs immediately with his wings on.

From a distance, Li Qingmei saw the familiar small white flowers with a faint fragrance.Sure enough, it is cinchona tree.

"Quick, I want bark and roots, as much as possible."

As she spoke, she took out her lancet and quickly peeled off the bark.

Everyone pulled out their daggers and hastily peeled off the bark, trying to get the medicine back as soon as possible, so as to snatch one more lost life from Yan Luo's hands.

Soon everyone peeled a sack of bark, and Li Qingmei picked up the bark and threw it on the horse's back.

"Master Gu, you continue to collect the bark here first, and I will go back to boil the medicine first, time is life!"

"Okay! Go quickly! The new bark will be delivered quickly!"

She nodded, raised her whip, and galloped anxiously towards the center of the city.

At this time, several huge iron pots had already been set up in the square, bubbling with steam.

She turned and got off the horse, and ran straight to a boiling iron pot, before cleaning it, she poured all the bark in the bag into the pot.

"This taste? Isn't it bitter quinine?"

"Who doesn't know that this medicine is so poisonous that even cattle and sheep dare not eat it. What is she doing?"

"Look at the situation, don't you want to boil it for us to swallow?"

"Ah! I dare not, who knows if I will die of poison immediately."

"I'd rather wait for Doctor Qin's treatment than be that junior student's guinea pig!"

"Me too, me too, it's better to live than to die."

The crowd began to chatter and whisper.

And Li Qingmei by the side of the pot was concentrating on stirring the soup at this time, the fierce flames made her sweat profusely and her cheeks flushed.

An hour later, watching the soup in the pot turn dark brown, she carefully filled a bowl.

"Who will come first?"

No one in the crowd responded, and some people shrank back in fear, fearing that Li Qingmei would test the medicine by name.

"This is bitter quinine. It will eat dead people. Anyone who wants to drink it will drink it! Anyway, I will definitely not drink it!"

"That's right, who dares to drink the poison boiled by a junior apprentice!"

Li Qingmei, who was holding the medicine, pinched her sore arm helplessly.

"Then I'll come first!"

She brought the medicine bowl to her mouth, raised her head, drank it in one gulp, and spread the empty medicine bowl.

"If you don't drink it, you will die. If you drink it, you will still have a chance of survival. The bitter taste may not be poison for the intestines, but it may also be a good medicine for curing diseases. You can drink it or not!"

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about her after drinking, everyone immediately started whispering again.

"I come!"

I saw a frail young man staggering forward. At this time, he was dying of illness, and his severe dehydration made every movement of him seem to be laborious.
