Entering May, the rainy season begins in Ningzhou. Heavy rains often last for more than ten days without stopping.
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 go to court, I will explain what happened in Ningzhou and the courtiers will not say anything else."
Immortal cultivators naturally do not want mortals to die on a large scale.
"This plague spread with 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, and no one detained them midway this time.
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 Princess," he pulled Shen Zhining, "this is Concubine Xian. She knows a lot. She is now responsible for 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 some advice from Concubine Xian."
Shen Zhining responded with a smile.
The matter was urgent, so after a group 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 poison and poison masters also arrived, and 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 making these arrangements, 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.
Wei Chen 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 and mountain gods are angry. Rather than doing anything else, they would rather worship the gods. "
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 ideas are difficult to shake.
Xu Mochen pondered and thought of other ways.
"Go to Yingyue Sect and bring over 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?
After the drug is researched, we will ask the Nuo master to perform Nuo noodle dance in the village, 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 Boan'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 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 Bo'an.
As expected of your Majesty, he is a master at deceiving people.
When Xu Mochen came to the door, he was hit by the rain outside. The weather in this season was too uncomfortable.
The times have many limitations and can only be reformed step by step.
When we get electricity, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and the like, the quality of life can 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 it themselves, so it can only be said to be done slowly.
In this way, the research is divided into two parts.
Some of them were 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 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 produced only a small pile of praziquantel.
Fortunately, Zhao Lingbo has gradually figured out the complicated relationship here.
It turns out that elements and synthesis mean this.
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 is directly pursuing the results, which invisibly speeds up the research speed.
This kind of thing is like putting together a puzzle. The first part is definitely slow, but as the areas are completed, the later parts will get 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 was so great about her.
However, she could not resist Shen Zhining's rich knowledge of cheats.
The new world that opened 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 ushered in new changes here, and Zisu gave him 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 win this job.
Of course, the poisonous snake lurking in the dark would not easily let go of such a good opportunity.
