Fan Fuzhong!
Everyone looked at the bristle toothbrush in Fan Zheng's hand with disgust and shook their heads in fear.
"You can even swallow pig hair!"
Madam Fan looked at her son with disgust. Ever since her son started studying medicine, he had used evil prescriptions one after another. Now he unexpectedly came up with the evil prescription from nowhere. He even made a toothbrush out of pig bristles, claiming that it was far better than what they usually used. The method of green salt and willow branches.
Even Li Qingzhao gave Fan Zheng a warning look. If he dared to use a bristle toothbrush, he would not touch her at night.
Fan Zheng asked rhetorically: "It is common for humans to use animal fur. My father's wolf hair brush, my mother's feather duster, and Qingzhao's white fox fur are not all animal fur. Why can't it work with my bristle toothbrush!"
"How can it be the same?" Fan Chunli argued.
The three of them suddenly felt guilty. This was true. However, their animal furs were only for external use, while Fan Zheng's bristle toothbrush was for entrance. Coupled with the prejudice against pigs among the people, they were naturally particularly concerned.
Fan Zheng retorted: "Why is it different? When doctors were studying Hua Tuo's secret knowledge, they found that catgut is more easily absorbed by the human body than mulberry string. Now it has replaced mulberry string on a large scale. That is not the entrance, but It is directly absorbed by the human body, and for the same reason, bristle toothbrushes are better than green salt and willow branches, and will definitely become popular in the world in the future."
"Gut is a life-saving medicine, but it cannot be compared with a pig-bristle toothbrush." Li Qingzhao still couldn't accept brushing his teeth with pig bristles and was unwilling to give up the green salt and willow branches in his hands.
Fan Zhengzheng said: "The pig bristles in my husband's hands are high-temperature sterilized and cleaned by the Ministry of Medical Industry, and then made into a toothbrush. It is moderately soft and hard, the best thing for cleaning teeth, and the oral cavity is also made according to medical principles. Branch, in the future personal care items such as toothbrushes and soaps will also be under the supervision of doctors, and there will be no uncleanness at all."
Under Fan Zheng's future plans, doctors may not directly produce personal care products. However, all personal care products will be under the supervision of doctors and will be inspected regularly to ensure hygiene.
At the moment, Fan Zheng mixed together pre-ground limestone, alkali (also known as soda in later generations!), and various weird things that the three of them didn't recognize at all, to make the most primitive toothpaste.
After doing all this, Fan Zheng couldn't help but feel very moved. He had never been used to the Song Dynasty's method of brushing teeth with green salt, and now he finally got what he wanted.
Fan Zhengzheng used a bristle toothbrush dipped in some toothpaste and demonstrated brushing teeth to the whole family in person.
soon! As Fan Zheng brushed his teeth skillfully, a lot of foam soon appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"Ms. sir!"
Li Qingzhao was shocked when he saw this and stepped forward quickly.
Don't blame her for being careless, Fan Zheng's appearance is very similar to the way a woman is said to drink pesticide.
Fan Chunli and Ma were also frightened and foaming at the mouth. Isn't this a symptom of poisoning?
"It doesn't matter!"
Fan Zhengweng said, while waving his hands to stop their movements.
Now he raised the glass of water, rinsed away the foam in his mouth, and grinned, showing his white teeth.
Everyone was immediately dubious. If Fan Zheng hadn't been a doctor himself, everyone would have been prepared to forcefully send him to the hospital.
"Bubbles are for better cleaning of teeth!"
Fan Zheng explained the principles of toothpaste one by one, and everyone felt relieved.
After Fan Zheng's personal experiment, Fan's father slowly tried to brush his teeth with toothpaste. At first, he was a little uncomfortable, but as he gradually got used to it, he suddenly felt that it was much better than ordinary willow green salt.
"This is a great thing, it's convenient and fast." Fan Chunli praised it after using it.
Although I felt a little uncomfortable when I first used toothpaste, brushing my teeth with green salt was also uncomfortable. A small amount of salt is more delicious, but using salt directly to clean teeth is very salty in the mouth, and willow branches are not convenient to use without a brush.
Fan Zheng proudly said: "This product is only made of limestone and alkali and some drugs are added. Its cost is much lower than that of green salt, and the effect of oral cleaning is better. With this advantage, it will be popularized all over the world in the future."
In later generations, with the development of salt manufacturing technology, the cost of salt dropped significantly. In the Song Dynasty, green salt, which can be used to clean teeth, was a high-quality salt. It was expensive and ordinary people could not afford it. If toothpaste was promoted , will definitely save more people from dental caries.
When Li Qingzhao and Ma saw the father and son praising the toothpaste, they were immediately dubious.
Fan Zheng threatened: "There is a saying among doctors that toothache is not a disease, the pain can kill people! Now that you dislike bristle toothbrushes and toothpaste, you will regret it in the future."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and because of their trust in Fan Zheng, they had no choice but to put down the willow branches and green salt, and obediently started using the toothbrush and toothpaste.
The family finished washing and felt refreshed. Fan Chunli called Fan Zheng into the study and ordered: "In the recent period, doctors need to be careful!"
"Why did father say this?" Fan Zheng asked in confusion.
Fan Chunli sighed: "You don't know something. In recent times, there have been frequent cases of civilian women dying after drinking pesticides. Kaifeng Prefecture alone has received many cases. Many censors have written to the court, and the court has criticized them. Take it very seriously!”
"So among the people, there are women who drank medicine and died, and both the government and the public think it is the responsibility of the doctors and pesticides? Have there never been people among the people who threw themselves into wells and hanged themselves before?" Fan Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, every year in the Song Dynasty, people committed suicide due to various things. The difference is that the tools used are different!
Fan Chunli couldn't help but sighed: "Although pesticides are medicines, they are also poisons. Moreover, pesticides sold by doctors were spread throughout the Song Dynasty. Nowadays, many women among the people have died due to pesticides, and doctors cannot escape responsibility."
Originally, there were very few poisoning incidents among the people. The widespread circulation of pesticides made poisoning the first choice for people to commit suicide. As the number of cases increased, doctors soon became the target of public criticism.
Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that the problems of later generations would appear in advance in the Song Dynasty. There was even one of the most efficient pesticides. Because there was no cure for people who drank it, it was eventually discontinued. Could it be that doctors' Pesticides will also follow the same path.
Inside the Chui Gong Hall!
"I would like to report to the officials that the distribution of pesticides has led to rampant poisoning among the people in the Song Dynasty. There have been many deaths caused by drinking pesticides! Please let the officials take a closer look." Zhang Dun solemnly said.
Lu Dafang also continued: "However, there have been many poisoning cases in the Ministry of Justice recently, and pesticides are often used for poisoning, resulting in continuous tragedies among the people."
The old and new parties unanimously reported this matter and used the pesticide poisoning incident to attack doctors.
In recent times, doctors have been at the peak of their power, and the North Korean Traditional Chinese Medicine Party has been on the rise. Now that the two parties have seized on the doctors, they will naturally attack them immediately.
Su Song defended: "To inform the officials, pesticides are originally used to poison farmland pests and weeds. Their original intention is to benefit the people, and they have no intention of harming them."
Yang Wei sneered and said: "Before the advent of pesticides, poisoning cases were rare in the Song Dynasty. But now that pesticides are prevalent, people are dying from pesticides everywhere. Doctors cannot escape the blame."
Before that, poisons were rare things in the Song Dynasty. Crane crown red and poisonous wine were only available to the rich and nobles. However, pesticides were prevalent. Poisons were everywhere throughout the Song Dynasty. There was no way to detect the poisoning and poisoning of the people. , poisoning cases increased significantly.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown. There was a sharp increase in poisoning cases among the people. As an emperor, he was naturally very distressed.
However, pesticides were the biggest driver of the imperial court’s promotion of farm work. If they were rashly banned, the impact would be even greater.
"Fan Aiqing! Do the doctors have any countermeasures for this matter?" Zhao Xu said loudly.
Fan Zheng said helplessly: "This is reported to the officials! Doctors have also heard about this. Now they have decided to study the second generation of pesticides to greatly reduce their toxicity to humans without losing their insecticidal and weeding effects."
Yang Wei said directly: "This method is completely ineffective! Pesticides need to be diluted to kill insects, but even weakest pesticides may be fatal."
Fan Zheng said again: "Doctors plan to add unpleasant, foul-smelling and even nausea-inducing substances to pesticides when they are produced. Firstly, they will warn that the pesticides are poisonous. Secondly, they will make people feel nauseous and vomiting, making it difficult to swallow."
Adding disgusting and vomiting substances can, on the one hand, make people afraid of pesticides, and on the other hand, make people whose stomach cannot tolerate the pesticides and vomit the pesticides out, which can reduce the degree of poisoning and increase the chance of survival.
The medical party couldn't help but feel helpless. Pesticides are originally used to kill insects and weeds. In order to prevent people from committing suicide by drinking the medicine, doctors added useless substances just to make people sick.
Wang Di shook his head and said: "Many people commit suicide because of impulsiveness. Even if there is a stench, it is difficult to avoid the accident of death by drinking medicine. Doctors still need to find a cure."
All the officials nodded. Wang Di said that although it was nitpicking, this kind of situation did happen, and in order to suppress the medical party, they had to exaggerate no matter how small the disadvantages were, unless Fan Zheng could really take advantage of them. Come up with an antidote to pesticides.
"The cure?"
Fan Zheng couldn't help but feel a headache. With the medical skills of the Song Dynasty, most of the raw materials used in pesticides were traditional poisons, and there was no antidote at all.
Yang Wei saw Fan Zheng frowning and said loudly: "Wei Chen believes that the abuse of pesticides must be restricted and can only be used when there are insect pests."
When an insect plague occurs, the fertile fields will fail to harvest. Human beings have finally gained the ability to control the insect plague, and naturally they will not abandon their martial arts. No matter how conservative the old party is, they may not dare to completely ban the use of pesticides.
"No! In addition, pesticides can increase farmland yields by 30%. They are a powerful tool for promoting farm work. How can we easily restrict their use?" Su Song objected categorically.
"Increasing food production is important, but the lives of the people are also priceless!" Yang Wei said proudly from the moral high ground.
Some conservative ministers nodded one after another. Pesticides are also poisons. Nowadays, poisons are everywhere in the Song Dynasty, and they are not regulated. There is no antidote, which caused a series of incidents that made them frightened.
For a while, the court fell into disputes over whether to restrict or liberalize pesticides.
However, due to the intentional or unintentional alliance between the new party and the old party, the medical party quickly fell into a disadvantage.
"Pesticides have increased farmland production by 30%, and the people of the world have no worries about food and clothing. How can we stop eating because of choking!" Su Song said angrily.
Lu Dafang practiced Tai Chi and said: "We are not completely banning pesticides. In the future, when doctors develop antidotes to pesticides, they will naturally be able to lift restrictions on pesticides."
The New Party also nodded in agreement. Now that more than half of the system has been implemented, it is no longer relevant to have pesticides to help. It would be great if it could use this to suppress the Medical Party.
Su Song suddenly became angry.
Suddenly Fan Zheng said loudly: "Actually, Fan has made an antidote to pesticides! It can save people suffering from pesticide poisoning."
In an instant, the court fell silent, looking at Fan Zheng in disbelief.
"Fan Taicheng has already made an antidote to pesticides, why didn't you tell him earlier?" Zhao Xu complained. If Fan Zheng had found an antidote to pesticides, there would be no disputes in the court today.
Fan Zheng said Hao Ran: "Wei Chen just thought of it."
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but twitch their mouths. Fan Zheng actually made the antidote without knowing it. If this was spread, people would probably laugh.
Su Song couldn't wait to ask: "What is the antidote that Fan Taicheng mentioned?"
As a representative of Confucianism and medicine, Su Song naturally understands how difficult it is to cure poison. Once doctors have an antidote to poison, it will be a blessing to the world.
Fan Zheng looked around and said solemnly: "The antidote Fan mentioned is the soap that is just popular in Kaifeng City."
"Soap?"
All the officials were in an uproar and looked at Fan Zheng questioningly.
"Fan Taicheng, you wouldn't just say something to fool me, right?" Zhang Dun asked.
Naturally, he had heard about the soap that was very popular in Kaifeng City. The women in his family also used this soap. Its greatest function is to clean the human body, and the effect is very good. Its greatest medical value is that the derived sulfur soap can remove indigestions caused by the naked eye. How can the visible mites be the antidote to pesticides?
"What kind of medical theory is this?" Su Song also asked in confusion.
He naturally knew that the raw materials of soap were lard and alkali, but he never thought that soap made from these two things could detoxify.
Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Soap itself cannot detoxify! However, soap has a special ability, that is, it has strong adsorption power and can absorb grease and other dirt to achieve the purpose of cleaning."
Su Song nodded, he also knew the functions of soap well.
"Most poisons need to be drunk to become poisonous. The first place they reach is the human stomach. We only need to inject soapy water into the patient's stomach, induce vomiting first, then repeatedly inject soapy water and shake the body repeatedly. Let the toxins in his stomach be cleansed, and then induce vomiting to achieve the detoxification effect. This method is called gastric lavage!" Fan Zheng explained his detoxification method one by one.
"Gastric lavage!"
All the officials were surprised. They had all heard that soap was used to wash hands and bathe, but soap could actually wash the stomach.
"This method is wonderful!"
Su Song was furious.
Talking about toxins regardless of dosage is just a joke. Pesticides themselves are low-toxic substances. A slight exposure is not serious. The reason why it is fatal is because the patient drinks high-concentration pesticides and uses soapy water to lavage the stomach to induce vomiting first. , and then gastric lavage to minimize the toxins in the body, thereby achieving the purpose of saving people.
"This method is not an antidote, but it is better than countless antidotes! It is enough to deal with many poisoning incidents in the world." Fan Zheng said proudly.
You must know that poisoning incidents all over the world are not caused by pesticide poisoning. Once this method comes out, poisoning all over the world will have a solution.
"Evil recipe! Evil recipe again!"
The old and new parties couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although this method was evil, its principle was extremely simple, leaving them speechless.
Using pesticide poisoning to attack the medical party was a tacit agreement between the two parties and was originally foolproof. But Fan Zheng actually used this evil method to make their attacks invisible.
