After Liu Chan said goodbye to Chai Rong and others, he boarded Zhao's company's cargo ship in batches again and sailed back to Jiangling along the Yangtze River.
In his mind, he kept checking for gaps in this plan with Chai Rong and others as the core, although this plan was only a temporary idea and could not be launched until Chai Rong and others successfully took root and became bigger.
But if they really succeed, once launched, the impact on the Battle of Jingzhou is bound to be considerable.
It's worth spending the energy to think it through in advance.
On the way back to Jingzhou, another thing Liu Chan was doing was trying to get closer to Wang Xi, the successor of Zhang Zhongjing.
This person is quite a bit indifferent.
I have already expressed my respect for the deceased old miracle doctor Zhang. No matter how much I express my admiration and remembrance, my good opinion will not rise again.
This Wang Xi didn't care much about money or status, but Liu Chan was a little confused about what to do.
Considering that Wang Xi attaches so much importance to those medical books, I am afraid that the only thing that can improve his favorability is medical skills.
However, Mr. Liu has little knowledge of traditional medicine, at least he is lackluster...
The little bit of medical talent that Wang Xi had gained before was of no avail, and now his medical skills are still at the level of "mediocre talent".
Liu Chan, who couldn't think of any other way, had only the last resort - to use the experience of a time traveler to talk about it.
Fortunately, he had seen an interesting introduction from the public account before, and his already blurry memory became clearer with the improvement of his medical talent.
It just so happens that the necessary items are now available, and they can be brought to Wang Xi for appraisal.
Now he just hopes that the article is more reliable and not just nonsense.
"Uncle He, are you reading?" Liu Chan came to Wang Xi's cabin compartment with a smile on his face.
The ship's hull was rocking, but it still couldn't dampen Wang Xi's interest in reading.
Except for treating the wounded soldiers a few days ago, Liu Chan had never seen him express interest in anything other than reading.
Wang Xi felt helpless when he heard this. Song Gongming came too often...
But after all, the other party had retrieved these precious books for him first, so Wang Xi couldn't refuse.
"General Gongming, I wonder what else is going on today?"
Liu Chan deliberately ignored the hint of rejection in Wang Xi's words and said with a smile: "I remembered an unexpected earthwork, and I came here to ask my uncle for details."
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Xi heard that there was a recipe, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, he changed his indifference and raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh? General, you can tell me."
As soon as Liu Chan saw the door, he sat on the floor next to him and talked about the "Chen Mustard Braised" recipe he had seen.
In fact, it is not difficult, and mustard greens are not a rare thing at this time.
Just take a large vat, spread the mustard greens in it, and let it dry in the sun and dew at night. When it becomes moldy and the "green hairs" are three to four inches long, seal the vat and bury it in the soil for ten years. When you open it again, both the mustard greens and the green hairs will turn into mold. water.
It is said to be the earliest record of extracting penicillin in China.
"That family often uses this recipe to treat lung abscess, purulent phlegm and other diseases. I wonder what Uncle He thinks of this recipe?"
[Wang Xi’s favorability +5]
[Wang Xi’s favorability is 40, physical fitness +5, medical talent +10×2]
[Current favorability level 42]
[Medical talent increased to: acceptable talent]
Talking about medicine really works!
Wang Xi frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Although mustard greens have the effect of clearing the lungs and eliminating phlegm, how can it cure lung abscess? And why do we have to wait for it to become moldy and turn into water?"
How would I know!
But for the sake of goodwill, Liu Chan could only bite the bullet and keep talking.
Fortunately, as a time traveler who came from the era of information explosion, I can still talk about things even if I don’t understand much.
"Well... that family is very sure that mustard greens don't matter, but penicillium is the key to the curative effect."
[Wang Xi’s favorability +1]
"Why is this?"
…
He doesn't understand medicine, but he still studied biology in high school.
Liu Chan used the non-existent "family" to describe to Wang Xi the existence of bacteria and the competitive relationship between fungi and bacteria in as localized language as possible, and used this to explain the efficacy and great value of penicillin.
Once penicillin comes out, the survival rate of both civilians and the military will be greatly improved.
This is crucial for Ji Han, who has historically been short of population.
Unfortunately, there is no microscope now, so Liu Chan cannot directly prove the correctness of this theory.
But for this unheard of and seemingly fanciful statement, Wang Xi, as a descendant of a miracle doctor with a strong thirst for knowledge, did not directly deny it completely.
Of course, I didn't immediately believe what Liu Chan said.
Instead, he recorded it in detail with great interest and planned to start his experimental work.
And Liu Chan used this magical talk to successfully increase Wang Xi's favorability to 58.
"It's just that this method of extracting the essence of Penicillium is too long. I wonder if Uncle He can find a way to shorten this process?"
Wang Xi said helplessly: "I don't know its function or its principles yet, how can I do it?"
Liu Chan was a little disappointed when he heard this. Ten years was too long to produce a batch of penicillin.
But soon Wang Xi smiled again and said: "But it depends on the human condition. I can give it a try before talking."
Liu Chan held up his hand and said, "Thank you, Uncle Lao, and I will rely on you for this matter. To be honest, I am not some bandit Song Jiang. I am Liu Chan, the son of Liu Bei, the general of the left, after Prince Jing of Zhongshan."
[Wang Xi’s favorability +5]
Wang Xi was stunned when he heard the words, but he immediately felt relieved. He bowed and saluted and said with a smile: "I don't think the general is a bandit, but I didn't expect him to be after General Liu. I have also heard of General Liu's reputation for benevolence for a long time. It’s true that like father, like son, it’s disrespectful.”
Now Liu Chan also realized the benefits of his father Liu Bei's good reputation. Just reporting his identity directly increased his favorability by 5.
"If this is done, countless lives will be saved. After returning to Yizhou, Uncle He Dan can let me know if he needs help. If manpower is needed, I can also recruit doctors from Yizhou to Chengdu to cooperate with you. "
Unlike other doctors, the sectarianism at this time was not as serious as in some dynasties in later generations.
It is the common wish of most doctors to spread medical skills widely and help the world by hanging a pot.
[Wang Xi’s favorability +5]
Wang Xi was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is very good. Practicing medicine and curing diseases is the duty of a doctor. Everyone can show their talents and exchange what they have learned. It will definitely be better than me thinking hard alone."
It also promised a dedicated venue, full accommodation and meals, and provided various medicinal materials and tools. It also promised to recruit people to participate in Wang Xi's penicillin development project. All the money needed was provided by Liu Chan.
After this big-picture offensive, Wang Xi's favorability towards Liu Chan skyrocketed. When the fleet arrived in Jiangling, Liu Chan had fucked him to 70 in one breath...
It is estimated that when I return to Yizhou and the project is implemented, 100 favorability will be almost there.
…
Liu Chan is busy training troops, fighting, and gaining favor these days, and Manager Zhao is not idle either.
The profit from the wine in Soochow, after completing the grain and mineral purchase quota set by Liu Chan, he bought all the specialties from Soochow. This trip made more money than last time, Manager Zhao The corners of his mouth never closed.
He does not plan to sell these Soochow specialties in Jiangling, but plans to transport them all the way back to Yizhou, which will make the profit higher.
Therefore, after the fleet docked, there was no need to carry goods like last time. They only waited for Liu Chan, Guan Yu and other Jingzhou defenders to say goodbye, and then they had to go upstream and return to Chengdu.
After half a month, Liu Chan landed in Jiangling again, and Liu Chan keenly felt the change in the atmosphere.
The number of carriages, horses and people entering Jiangling increased.
Among them, there are those who escort grain and grass, and there are those who escort wood and minerals.
There were faint sounds of drill shouts coming from the direction of the military camp.
An atmosphere of impending war is permeating Jiangling City...
