King of Mercenaries Chapter 185

Published at 14th of June 2023 05:22:27 AM

Two Mongolian doctors seem to have a bad language talent. What's more, Marin's collapse is that these two guys can speak Mongolian and the Russian language popular in Eastern Europe, but can't speak German.

Since being recruited by the Teutonic state, the two have learned a little German, but they have only learned a few words to say hello. Then, their communication with Marin was basically based on simple German words and gestures.

One day, Marin was really tired of communicating with two Mongolian doctors with such gestures. Thinking of the fact that the two of them came from Mongolia before, maybe they can speak Chinese, so they used Chinese. Unexpectedly, the two really spoke Chinese.

However, the Chinese of the two, how Marin listened to the dialect to the north of SX, was about the accent of Datong. It's no wonder that the tribe of Mozgen and Butler were originally close to Datong. In their tribe, they often send horses to Datong to do business in exchange for iron pots and tea. Therefore, the children of many noble families in the tribe have learned the dialect of Datong to facilitate trade.

At this moment, their Datong dialect Chinese finally came in handy. Fortunately, both Datong and Mandarin belong to the northern dialect, and there are still many similarities. Therefore, as long as speaking slowly, Marin can still communicate with these two Mongolian doctors who speak a dialect of Datong. If they were talking GD, then Marin would be blind. Because GD and Mandarin are so different. Even after listening to a lot of Cantonese songs in previous lives, Marin didn't watch the subtitles, but he still didn't know what those singing Cantonese songs were ...

After some communication, Marin finally talked to the two goods. To be honest, if the patient and the doctor can't communicate normally, it can be called sad reminder. The doctor always asks the patient's situation. The patient speaks a dialect and speaks for a long time. The doctor doesn't understand a sentence. How to treat it?

Fortunately, after moving out of Mandarin, Marin became the first person on the island to be able to communicate with the two Mongolian doctors normally. But this is useless, because Marin is the lord, not a translator. It would be miserable if the two goods could not be communicated to each other. Coupled with the Mongolian doctor's treatment is already simple and rude. If you do not understand the condition, using the wrong and rude treatment may not be able to kill the patient.

So, helplessly, Marin had to teach them to speak German, and the grief was a mess. At the beginning, when someone on the island came to see them for treatment, Marin also came to guest translation ...

Thinking of it, Marin was almost depressed. The dignified baron actually acted as an interpreter for two Mongolian doctors.

However, Marin often talked when he was teaching German goods to learn German. One day, Bartel suddenly said that he had many seeds of oriental herbs in his surname Li ...

Marin was shocked on the spot and broke the dish glass imported from Venice ...

"What are you talking about? Medicinal seeds? How many?"

"Ah?" Butler didn't expect Marin to react so much and hesitated.

"Don't hold back, answer my question ..."

"Oh, just a few packets, a dozen grains of each variety. The seeds were collected purely by my curiosity. I originally planned to plant them in the Golden Horde ..."

"What are they, let's talk about them!"

"Oh, there are mainly Astragalus, Bupleurum, Chinese Elm, Parsnip, Ephedra, Licorice, Gentiana ... Uh, before I came from my hometown, I also collected some artemisia annua on the grassland. This thing is not eaten by ordinary people. For cattle ... "

"Ah? Artemisia annua!" Who knows, Marin almost jumped in surprise when he heard the name of Artemisia annua.

"? Sir, have you heard of Artemisia annua? In our case, this thing is called Artemisia annua, it tastes very bad, and most people don't take it with medicine ..."

"Of course, of course!" Said Marin Xin. A few hundred years later, a Chinese **** named Tu Yoyo extracted artemisinin from Artemisia annua and won the Nobel Prize.

If Bartel doesn't say the word Artemisia annua, Marin may still wonder if they brought the artemisia annua which he needed to extract artemisinin. Artemisia. Chinese herbal medicine is also called Artemisia annua, but it has nothing to do with the later plant called Artemisia annua.). But when he heard the word stinky, he was relieved.

Why is Marin so excited? Because artemisinin, the magic drug for the treatment of malaria, even exceeds cinchona cream. Moreover, artemisinin is easily sourced. This is because Artemisia annua is a perennial herb that can grow in a year and then extract the medicinal ingredients.

The cinchona cream is taken from the bark of the cinchona tree. However, it takes six or seven years for the cinchona tree to grow before it can be peeled to make cinchona cream, and the period of effect is very long. Unlike Artemisia annua, it is very easy to plant and grow in that year.

As for its use value, the most important thing is the treatment of malaria. Marin lives in Europe and is less likely to have malaria. Once colonized in the tropics, however, malaria is the number one disease. ,

Most of the deaths of sailors aboard these years were caused by scurvy. Colonists who settled in the tropics mostly died of malaria ...

Therefore, the possession of medicines against malaria can also develop tropical islands and increase safety ...

With Artemisia annua, Marin has enough confidence to conquer tropical regions and engage in sugarcane planting. Otherwise, even if it is done, many people will die. Generally, those who go to the tropics to colonize, 10 people pass by, and half of them can survive well.

In order to adapt to the tropical climate, the colonists had to go to Africa to catch slaves and work. Because blacks are more adaptable to tropical climates than whites.

...

What makes Marin even more surprised is still behind ...

"What do these herbs do?" Marin asked, pointing to the elm, windbreak, and gentian he hadn't seen before.

Astragalus, Bupleurum, Ephedra and Licorice are very common herbs, and Marin is known for its uses. However, he did not touch the ground elm, windproof and gentian. After all, his level of Chinese medicine is not even half-dead. Therefore, he didn't know some of the less used herbs.

When Bartel told Marin that the ground elm was used to stop bleeding and swelling, Marin was so happy to die ...

It was also that his later generations did not specialize in Chinese medicine, and did not know the role of ground elm. Because, in future generations, to stop bleeding and swelling, basically use YN white medicine, which is mainly based on panax notoginseng. UU Reading Book www. uukanshu.com Because YN Baiyao is very powerful, Sanqi also greatly masked the light of the ground elm. Therefore, Marin did not know that the ground elm was normal.

As for the wind-relief, wind-relief and pain-relieving anti-wind, and the gentian that treats hair loss with clearing away heat and dampness, and purging the liver, Marin paid less attention. Because these diseases are actually rare. However, it seems that many middle-aged people in Europe have hair loss problems. Maybe gentian is still useful ...

Among these herbs, Marin attaches the least importance to bedwort and ground elm. Because one for malaria and one for wounds are useful for colonial expansion. Ephedra is also a good herb for colds, and Chaihu also has a fever ...

So, Marin made a lot of money this time. For this reason, in order to plant this batch, Marin decided to build a glass greenhouse to grow and protect these herbs ...

Because, now it has entered the middle and late April, and the spring season has passed. But these herbs are so important. So Marin decided to build a glass greenhouse to grow these herbs.

Of course, in the spring and summer and early autumn, glass greenhouses are not needed. However, in late autumn, glass greenhouses are needed. Because the climate was cold at that time, it was easy to freeze to death these precious herbs.
