Chapter 795 Antibiotics

The workshop where Zhang Zhou prepared penicillin was in a soy sauce shop.

Because soy sauce is fermented here all the year round, it has its own flora environment, and the people who brew soy sauce are more experienced in molding and making koji. In addition, some brewing craftsmen have been passed down from generation to generation. By teaching them the basic theory, they can better cultivate bacterial flora and complete a series of purifications.

But it is not easy to accomplish all this.

For two days in a row, Zhang Zhou’s cat didn’t come out of the soy sauce workshop and didn’t even return home.

And Ning Tong will inform him of Xie Junnu’s situation. Now Zhang Zhou’s only worry is that what this little girl is suffering from is not bacterial pneumonia, but viral pneumonia. What will happen to him? Basically, there is nothing you can do.

Fortunately, there were previously Bupleurum antibiotics and Houttuynia cordata antibiotics extracted from traditional Chinese medicine. Although these two pure plant antibiotics did not appear to be perfect in effect, they fortunately treated Xie Junnu’s condition. Being delayed, Zhang Zhou realized that it was bacterial pneumonia.

The next step is to complete the production of antibiotics in the shortest possible time.

At this time, Xie Qian returned to the capital again after a tiring journey, and there was only one day left before the New Year.

"Father." Xie Zheng went out of the city to greet him personally.

Xie Qian waved his hands and said: "I won't enter the city anymore. I'm going to Xishan. There is no need to stay in the capital."

It seems that for Xie Qian, the capital is his sad place. A year ago, he was the auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty and the respected Elder Xie Ge, but now he is almost a prisoner, still relying on working for the court to atone for his sins, and his family has been displaced because of him.

"Xie Qian said, "You have your own business, just do your job and don't worry about me." As he said, Xie Qian was ready to get back on the carriage.

Xie Zheng said hurriedly: "The imperial court has issued a decree, saying that you can wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before going to Xishan, and you can stay in the capital in the near future."

"What?"

Xie Qian frowned.

Can the imperial court be so humane? Could it be that my old friends helped me fight for it?

Then Xie Zheng said: "It was Zhang Butang who helped intercede."

"He..."

Xie Qian heard Zhang Zhou's Name, I was speechless for a moment.

Xie Qian avoided his son very much.

It seems that he knows very well that he is still guilty of the crime. It is rare that his son has been forgiven by the court and promoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. It is best for him to keep a distance from his son so as not to implicate his son.

In this way, everyone in the Xie family will be safe, as long as Xie Qian continues to atone for his sins.

Xie Zheng said with a bitter look on his face: "There is something that I didn't want to tell my father, but now I can't.good. After Jun Nu returned to Beijing..."

"How is she? "Xie Qian suddenly remembered that his granddaughter was ill before returning to Beijing, "She...she..."

Xie Qian looked very nervous.

Seeing his son like this She looked like she was afraid that the accident had happened. If she could not see her granddaughter again, she would be extremely sad. After all, her granddaughter had grown up and had already experienced the misfortune of her childhood. If she died when she was about to reach adulthood, she would be the elder's daughter. He couldn't bear it even more.

Xie Zhengdao: "Junnu is still recovering from her illness, but... her situation is not good, it is very similar to when my father was ill. "

"Then look for Zhang Bingkuan. " Xie Qian almost blurted out.

Now he also knew who could help him, and it seemed that only Zhang Zhou had the chance to relieve his granddaughter's illness.

Xie Zheng said helplessly: "After I returned to Beijing, I went to visit Zhang Butang. "

"What did he say? Not willing to help? No, I know Bingkuan, he is not the kind of person who refuses to save someone. "Xie Qian seemed to have great trust in Zhang Zhou at this time.

It was precisely because he came down from a high position and became a humble person, and got along with Zhang Zhou in another way, that he understood Zhang Zhou's character. What is sex like?

Xie Zhengdao: "Zhang Butang has sent Mr. Ning to visit Junnu and brought him magic medicine, but the effect is still not satisfactory. "

"What? "Xie Qian became nervous after hearing this.

He survived by relying on the magic medicine provided by Ning Tong. Now if the medicine doesn't work for his granddaughter, then he may really have to give the old man the black hair.

Xie Zhengdao: "The condition has been delayed. It is said that Zhang Butang has not done anything else in the past few days and has been researching new drugs, saying that there may be results in these days. , if Junnu has the blessing of the gods, or can..."

"Bingkuan, is he researching new medicines for Junnu? "Xie Qian felt even more ashamed when he heard this.

"Yes. "Xie Zhengdao," I heard that I haven't slept a wink for several days. ”

“Alas! "

When Xie Qian heard this, he couldn't help but sigh heavily. He didn't know what to say.

"Father, you..."

"Nothing. Stop talking and go to the city. I won’t see anyone after entering the city. Let me go and see Junnu. That child is well-behaved and the most heart-warming. I don’t want anything to happen to such a smart and lovely child. Let's go. ”

Xie Qian doesn’t care about his status or face at this moment. He just wants to go to the city to visit his granddaughter’s illness.

……

......

Zhang Zhou is making medicine behind closed doors, and there are actually many things in the court waiting for him to deal with.

After all, it is already the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, even the emperor. There are many things to do with Zhang Zhou these days, and Zhu Youtang even plans to invite Zhang Zhou to the palace to celebrate the New Year.

In Zhu Youtang’s opinion, Zhang Zhou has done too much for the Ming Dynasty in the past few years, and he has always done so. Instead of giving him a good reward, this year he planned to invite Empress Zhang and Concubine Xian to come and treat his childrenThey all took them with them, and by the way, Zhang Zhou also brought his children into the palace. Zhang Zhou could even bring his wives and concubines if he wanted, and then the two families would sit together and have dinner.

For Zhu Youtang, he and Zhang Zhou were no strangers to each other. He even regarded Zhang Zhou as a biological brother, not even as close as a biological brother.

Immediately Yang Peng sent someone to find Zhang Zhou to inform him of the matter.

At this time, Zhang Zhou was still wearing professional protective gear and was in the laboratory. Several craftsmen around him had followed him all year round and were relatively familiar with him.

After Zhang Zhou knew that Yang Peng had arrived, he also came out with him.

"Master, you are..." Yang Peng was surprised.

He had already visited Zhang Zhou once before, but the matter that time was not too urgent, so he did not deliberately come to see him.

This time it was the emperor who gave the order, so he had the confidence to look for it.

Zhang Zhou asked someone to take off his protective gear, and then said: "We are making new drugs, which is very important."

"What a new drug, we need you..." Yang Peng Also curious.

"Okay."

Yang Peng sat down.

Zhang Zhou then said: "If this kind of medicine can be developed, in the future, when soldiers are injured on the battlefield, even serious injuries, it can reduce wound infection and greatly improve the survival probability of the injured. "

"Huh?"

Yang Peng was shocked.

In this era, it is a serious matter for soldiers to be injured.

Especially when injured in summer and autumn, the wound may not heal well, but may become infected, and even a small injury can be fatal.

As for "bone scraping to heal wounds", it is not uncommon these days. Sometimes some people have a high fever after the wound is infected, and they can only survive by cutting off their arms and other methods, using a knife to survive. It has become commonplace to come and dig at wounds.

Even if some people recover from the disease, carbuncles will form. After the wound heals, it is easy to tear and ulcerate again, and even occur once every one or two years.

Zhang Zhou said: "This medicine is too difficult to make."

Yang Peng said hurriedly: "If it can be made, it will really... save the world from water and fire, and save the soldiers. We will definitely regard you as a god."

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "Eunuch Yang is ridiculous. In fact, I studied this medicine and thought that in addition to curing injuries, this medicine can also cure many special diseases. , such as wind and cold, etc., many people are worsened by wind and cold, leading to pneumonia and death. If we have this medicine, maybe..."

Speaking of this, the first thing Zhang Zhou thought of was... According to history, Zhu Houzhao, the unlucky man, died of illness eighteen years later.

If you get pneumonia after falling into the water, it must be bacterial. As for whether it was poisoned or not, Zhang Zhou will not hold conspiracy theories. He thinks it should be caused by the delay in research on pneumonia.

Yang Peng said: "That's... We will go back and report it to Your Majesty. Let Your Majesty know the good news."

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "It's better.Let’s wait until the medicine is researched and we’ll talk about it. I’m afraid of disappointing His Majesty. "

"Oh, then you...will you enter the palace the day after tomorrow? ”

Yang Peng asked eagerly.

Zhu Youtang wanted to hold the family banquet between the two families at noon on the first day of the new year, so he had two days to prepare.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "Please tell your Majesty, if I can research the medicine before the day after tomorrow, then I will go. If not, I may have to work overtime. ”

“Work overtime? Your choice of words is really...unique, but I still have to mention it to His Majesty. Our family is also happy about this. With you here, this medicine will be made sooner or later. Blessed are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and so are the people. ”

……

……

Zhang Zhou was embarrassed to say it.

According to the current manufacturing cost of penicillin, it can be produced A batch, the manpower and material resources that may be spent are unimaginable. If everyone in the market uses it, industrialization will inevitably occur, at least within ten years... it will still be difficult to form the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the process is still very slow.

He, Zhang Zhou, has only been in this world for less than four years.

In the autumn of the eleventh year of Hongzhi, it is now the fifteenth year of Hongzhi. It’s the twelfth lunar month.

What Zhang Zhou can do is only complete some basic arrangements, but more importantly, he needs to discover more talents and promote his ideals.

Finally the next morning, when Zhang Zhou took a nap, Ning Tong patted him on the shoulder. Wake him up.

"What's wrong? "Zhang Zhou looked at Ning Tong.

Ning Tong said: "In that glass basin, I saw the circle that the master mentioned. ”

Zhang Zhou stood up, quickly put on his protective clothing, and entered the laboratory.

Immediately he saw some circles appearing in the petri dish for cultivating Staphylococcus aureus. This shows that this batch of penicillin is finally effective... Although the amount is not very large, it at least shows that this cultivation and purification method is effective.

"Good. ”

Zhang Zhou felt a little more happy when he picked up the potion, which was contained in a special glass tube and sealed with the latest rubber brought back from America.

Nearly a month ago Years of hard work and continuous fierce battles over the past few days have finally yielded results.

Ning Tong asked: "Can this cure the disease? ”

Zhang Zhou said: “Such a small tube can be worth thousands of gold. A dying person can save his life with this dose of medicine.” It's called antibiotics. "

Ning Tong asked: "Can one dose save people? ”

“That’s the theory. "Zhang Zhou said, "It's not suitable for everyone. If you use this thing too much, it will also make people develop drug resistance. But since no one has used this medicine so far, one dose is really enough for everything. . "

"Then..."

……

……

Xie Mansion.

Early in the morning, no one even got up yet, and the yard was very quiet.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, awakening the family.

Xie Zheng went to open the door in person. When he saw it was Zhang Zhou, his jaw was about to drop. When he learned the purpose of Zhang Zhou's visit, he did not dare to neglect Zhang Zhou. Invited in.

"I really feel sorry for you to consult my little girl personally." Xie Zheng was also a little ashamed.

It is shameless to have the minister of the court and the most powerful official of the Ming Dynasty come to his door just to treat his little daughter.

Logically speaking, even if his daughter died, he should not bother Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou said: "There are some things that are inconvenient for me, so I'd better let her go in and give the medicine."

Because it involves injections and other matters, there is no skin test at this time. Sort of like, even a bit like treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

At this time, Xie Qian also quickly got up and ran to the yard.

Zhang Zhou asked: "Mr. /p>

"Father, Zhang Butang said, it's a little inconvenient." Xie Zhengdao.

Ning Tong should let Zhang Zhou personally treat her little granddaughter's illness so that he could rest assured.

Xie Zheng looked at his old father with strange eyes and said to himself, aren't you forcing others to make things difficult for you?

And you also know the process of treating a disease. When it comes to things like planting medicine, can you really trust a grown man to go in?

Xie Qian said: "It's better to hurry up."

Zhang Zhou nodded and said: "That's right, I'll go in to see how she is doing."

Immediately, Zhang Zhou, surrounded by the Xie family, entered Xie Junnu's ward, but it was a temporarily modified ward. Because she was sick, and Zhang Zhou also told Ning Tong that she was contagious to a certain extent, The family placed her here, and Xie Zhengxian's wife did some physical cooling and other things for her.

Without antipyretics, Xie Junnu had been suffering from a high fever for several days. Even though he seemed to be sleeping, his face was still shaking slightly.
