"Oh, by the way, I just came to Chang'an and heard a lot of rumors about me. I said that close relatives including cousins cannot get married. I said that quicklime can disinfect and remove diseases. I said that you need to wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet. Preventing diseases, etc., are all what I said?" Sun Simiao looked at Li Ke and said with a smile.
"Yes, isn't this what you said?" Li Ke said confidently.
Sun Simiao: "..."
"When did I say these words?" Sun Simiao was speechless, "It seems that this is the first time I have met you, Your Highness."
"What you just said." Li Ke asked with a smile, "Didn't you repeat it all?"
"Your Highness, you know that this is not what I said." Sun Simiao was a little speechless. Aren't you being reckless? Obviously, Sun Simiao didn't know the seriousness of the matter at all. He had never met someone like Li Ke before, so he naturally didn't know the seriousness of the matter.
"Then let me ask you, do these things make sense?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
"Yes, I have indeed researched a lot of the content here, and I have thought about it systematically. Although I have not summarized the pathology, it does make sense." Sun Simiao nodded seriously and discussed medicine. At that time, Sun Simiao was very serious. Although Li Ke did not study medicine, some of Li Ke's ideas were very groundbreaking for Sun Simiao.
So Sun Simiao naturally didn't mind discussing this with Li Ke.
"Isn't that enough? You know this, so you must have said similar things in other places. Is it possible that you haven't told others to wash their hands frequently? It's definitely impossible." Li Ke smiled. He opened his mouth and said, "If you said it, then it's okay for me to say it was you."
"Uh..." Sun Simiao choked, it seemed...that makes sense? Although he felt something was wrong, Li Ke's statement was correct. He did not say it in front of Li Ke, but he said it elsewhere. Li Ke said that he said this...it seems to be right?
"Hey, why are we so entangled in this? These things are actually summarized from some folk classics that I collected. Just like the disadvantages of incest marriage, there have been some records since ancient times, but I think it is not only ethical, but also shouldn't As for cousins. Mothers will also pass on some genetic information to their children, otherwise why would some children look like their mothers?"
"This shows that what affects the child is the common characteristics of the parents, and these characteristics will naturally bring about changes in the child. This means that there may be problems caused by incest marriage on the paternal side, and the same will happen on the maternal side." Li Ke tried his best to explain to Sun Simiao in his own more straightforward language.
It's not that Li Ke wants to teach Sun Simiao, but that Li Ke gives Sun Simiao a lesson first. When Li Shimin asks, Sun Simiao will naturally think of what Li Ke said.
Lao Sun has been studying in the medical field all his life. He has a deep understanding of many of these things. He will definitely speak out the correct medical theories.
The two people were riding side by side in the direction of Qin Wangzhuang. Sun Simiao suddenly asked: "Actually, I have been practicing medicine in the outside world for so many years, and there is always a question that I haven't clarified. Today I saw His Highness and heard from the people around Chang'an City. I have heard His Highness publicize some measures in this regard, and I wonder how His Highness views epidemic prevention."
Regarding disease protection, Li Ke pondered for a moment. The disease protection Sun Simiao mentioned must refer to a major epidemic, that is to say, a plague. Plague has not referred to the same disease since ancient times, but has been equated with malignant infectious diseases.
Plagues spread in ancient China generally refer to plague, smallpox, cholera, malaria, etc. The harm caused by these plagues varies depending on the type of disease. They are generally caused by poor environmental sanitation after natural disasters.
But if you simply tell Sun Simiao some measures, it will not have much effect. What Li Ke needs is a policy that can solve the problem of epidemic prevention. In fact, he himself approached Sun Simiao to prevent this aspect.
The projects carried out by Li Ke are all projects with a very large flow of people, and this kind of project is the most prone to epidemics.
However, he did not expect that Sun Simiao would ask this question directly.
"Master Sun, actually I don't understand medicine, but I have money." Li Ke thought for a while and then said.
Sun Simiao was a little confused, but he did not respond casually, but quietly waited for the next step.
"Although money is not everything, to a certain extent, you can do whatever you want with money. After I got rich, I asked people to search dozens of small countries around the entire Tang Dynasty, as well as those farther away like They are medical books from India, Persia, Dashi and even countries around the Mediterranean Sea further away, and then these books are compiled and studied.”
"Overall, medical books from different regions are not as developed as the medicine in our Central Plains region, but they explain some pathologies and cases from different angles, which may bring more enlightenment to people."
"For example, how diseases arise."
"Has Master Sun ever thought about a question? Or, let me give you an example, has Master Sun ever seen a case where some children have bugs in their stomachs. They don't know when they enter the human body, and then these bugs When the bugs are in the stomach of children, they will cause various diseases. After taking medicine to kill these bugs and excrete them from the body, or directly excrete them, the diseases will be cured." Li Ke asked.
"Of course, it is recorded in the Huangdi Neijing and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber that roundworm disease originated from this. I don't know what His Highness wants to say." Sun Simiao was a little confused.
"Haha, has Master Sun ever thought about a question, how do these roundworms enter the human body? Some roundworms are very big when they are excreted from the human body. They certainly cannot crawl into our bodies when we are asleep, so There must be a reason, and insects like this should have eggs, am I right?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
"Yes." Sun Simiao nodded.
"Is there a possibility that we don't pay much attention to it because the eggs are too small, and some roundworm eggs will stay on some vegetables and fruits in the wild. When people eat these things without washing them, once the eggs are Once it enters the human body, it will easily multiply inside and turn into roundworms.”
"I have asked people to investigate all the wealthy families and nobles. In the homes of wealthy people who pay more attention to hygiene and clean these vegetables and fruits, there are almost no cases of ascariasis." Li Ke said with a smile.
"I can understand this." Sun Simiao nodded and said. What is not understandable? Insects must have eggs, and the eggs must enter the human body through different ways. Sun Simiao can naturally understand.
"Master Sun, do you think it is possible that all kinds of diseases in the world are actually caused by various small bugs? It's just that these bugs are too small, even smaller than roundworms. The eggs are so small that we can't even see them with our eyes, so they cause various diseases after entering our bodies?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
