The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 379 Forage and Horse Raising

"That's right." Lin Xiazhi nodded.

Cheng Wenliu continued: "The alcohol comes from white wine or rice wine, and it is purified with the glass still on this drawing."

"Yeah." Cheng Wenliu said no problem.

As for the suturing, Lin Xiazhi was still thinking about whether to say it or not, mainly because it was too shocking, using sewing needles to sew up people, probably few ancient people could accept such a statement.

But thinking about the pain suffered by those soldiers who were injured due to the war, Lin Xiazhi gritted his teeth and said this: "I'm not sure if this is feasible, so don't use it directly on people. If Xiaoyao Wang and the others are willing to believe it, first Find some pigs, cattle and sheep to try."

Cheng Wenliu was shocked when he heard Lin Xiazhi's words. Is it really possible to sew human skin like fabric?

But after thinking about it, the knife wounds and sword wounds on the body are cuts in the skin. Under normal circumstances, the wounds will gradually heal on their own. This process is very slow and painful. If the wounds are stitched up with that gut...

"You go to Xiaoyao Wang, I'll think about other ways." Lin Xiazhi turned his head away from Cheng Wenliu's shocked gaze, he drove the people out, and continued to think about whether there was anything else that could be used at home. Above, medicines or useful things that can be made now.

Cheng Wenliu clenched the blueprint in his hand: "Okay."

First, King Xiaoyao went to Cheng Zhai to meet Cheng Wenliu, and after a while Cheng Wenliu took the initiative to come to find King Xiaoyao: "My lord, I have a few important things to tell you, which are related to the border war."

As soon as he heard that it was related to the border, King Xiaoyao quickly blocked the irrelevant people on the left and right, waiting to hear what Cheng Wenliu had to say.

Cheng Wenliu first cleared up the first two things he heard from Lin Xiazhi just now.

To tell the truth, he was a little nervous, how small are the dirty things that can't be seen with a magnifying glass, would Xiaoyao Wang believe them?

A brand new set of rhetoric, King Xiaoyao has never heard of it before, nor has he seen it from any ancient books, it seems absurd and unreliable, but he just feels that it is very likely to be true.

King Xiaoyao thought about it and said, "I have to think about what you said. As for the distiller drawn on this blueprint, the glass kiln under my hand hasn't made glass yet. Why don't we let the glass kiln in Jiangning County do it first?" How is it approved?"

If you say yes, you have to think about it. In fact, Xiaoyao Wang has chosen to believe it, otherwise he would not let them make the glass still.

Cheng Wenliu breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem, I will send the drawings to the glass kiln later, and discuss with the glass kiln boss Lan about making a glass still."

Coming out of Xiaoyao Wang's small courtyard, Cheng Wenliu calmed down his complicated mood, and went to Boss Shanglan with the blueprint.

Unlike before, Cheng Wenliu did not tell Boss Lan what the things made of glass are useful for this time, but only said that it was what he wanted, and asked Boss Lan to temporarily stop all other things made in the glass kiln and devote all his energy to researching new utensils .

Boss Lan instantly understood the importance of the items on the drawing. He and his craftsmen had already become familiar with the temper of glass, so they rushed to make a set that night.

Xiaoyao Wang sent people to purify the wine with a glass still according to the method Cheng Wenliu said. The wine purified for the first time was much more mellow than the best baijiu they bought back. Bad, even with Xiaoyao Wang's drinking capacity, he would feel a little dizzy after drinking a pot.

After the second purification and the third purification, the aroma of the wine gradually disappeared, but the taste of the wine became more intense. King Xiaoyao felt that this was the alcohol Cheng Wenliu was talking about.

I found three clean-shaven rabbits of about the same size, and all cut the same wound on the same position on the rabbit's leg. One rabbit wrapped the wound with ordinary gauze, the second rabbit wrapped it with treated gauze, and the third rabbit wrapped it with treated gauze. After washing the wound with alcohol, the rabbit was also wrapped in treated gauze.

When wiping the rabbit's wound with alcohol, the rabbit struggled desperately, obviously in great pain. Seeing this, Xiaoyao Wang doubted whether the alcohol was effective.

However, the next day, the wounds of the three rabbits were different. The wounds of the first rabbit became more serious, the wounds of the second rabbit remained unchanged, and the wounds of the third rabbit had begun to scab.

Although it was just a rabbit, it showed that the method Cheng Wenliu gave was real and useful. King Xiaoyao personally brought the rabbit to check.

This kind of thing that can speed up the healing of wounds and reduce the death of soldiers due to injuries is too important for Jing Guo who is at war. King Xiaoyao urgently needs a large number of glass stills that can purify alcohol. He asked Cheng Wenliu again.

Having won the trust of King Xiaoyao, this time Cheng Wenliu told King Xiaoyao what he hadn't finished talking about last time, and also brought another new idea. If these two things are realized, it will be no less than the impact of alcohol on war.

What Cheng Wenliu told King Xiaoyao was to use catgut to suture the wound and anesthesia. It was the first time Lin Xiazhi mentioned catgut to suture the wound, and the anesthetic was only mentioned by Lin Xiazhi when Cheng Wenliu went back.

When talking about alcohol last time, Cheng Wenliu thought that the catgut was too shocking, so he didn't mention it when he met Xiaoyao Wang for the first time. After Xiaoyao Wang believed what he said, he said the catgut again. Come out, the credibility is much higher.

Lin Xiazhi didn't know much about anesthetics, so he only talked about two concepts, one is an oral anesthetic, which is similar to a drug, and the wounded fall asleep after drinking it to reduce their pain; The other is an anesthetic that is wiped on the wound. The wounded's consciousness is clear, and the purpose of reducing pain is achieved by paralyzing the wound.

The anesthetics of these two directions actually have prototypes in Jingguo, such as oral or inhaled Mihunsan, or poisons that can paralyze wounds after cutting. Doctors will study them again, maybe they can really work. Made out of medical anesthetics.

After listening to what Cheng Wenliu said, King Xiaoyao couldn't regain his senses for a long time, catgut?Stitch the wound?Are you kidding me?Will this method really make the wounds of the wounded heal faster, or will they add more injuries to the places where they were already injured?

"My lord, to tell you the truth, I am not sure about suturing the wound with sheep gut. If it can be done, please try it on animals such as pigs, cattle and sheep. If it is useful, we will use it on soldiers. Forget it if it’s useless.” Cheng Wenliu said as calmly as possible, “As for anesthesia, it can reduce the pain of injured soldiers, I personally think it’s necessary to study it.”

"Wen Liu, although your proposal is very unrealistic and unrealistic, but for the sake of the soldiers on the frontier, I am willing to give it a try. I believe that you and the person behind you are sincerely for the good of Jingguo." Xiaoyao Wang stared into Cheng Wenliu's eyes and said word by word.

"My lord, don't worry, what Wen Liu said is true." Cheng Wenliu said seriously.

Coming out of the small courtyard where King Xiaoyao temporarily lived, Cheng Wenliu regained his breathing and heartbeat.

He and Xia Geer have already done what they can do, and the rest is up to Xiaoyao Wang and the emperor. I hope they can research something really useful based on what Xia Geer said.

When Cheng Wenliu came back, Lin Xiazhi let go of his hanging heart. Although he didn't have much respect for the royal family, it didn't mean he didn't understand what imperial power represented in this era when imperial power was supreme. In case Cheng Wenliu's words made King Xiaoyao suspicious, King Xiaoyao They can't predict what will happen.

"I really hope this war can end sooner." Lin Xiazhi sighed, thinking about the vast territory of the motherland in his previous life, he couldn't help asking, "Wen Liu, is Jing Guo capable of defeating Xiliang Kingdom?"

If Xiliang could be brought down, then Jing Guo would not have to worry about the harassment of this foreign race, and would be able to frighten the other small countries nearby.

Cheng Wenliu pondered for a while: "It wasn't there before, but now I can't say for sure."

"Although the Xiliang Kingdom is not small, their population is actually not large. The tribesmen gather together in a tribal way and live a life of herding. Wherever there is good pasture, they will go with their cattle and sheep."

"But it is precisely because they live on horseback all year round, they are strong and strong, and their style is tough. Brothers who don't fight can also carry a knife on a horse. It is not easy to fight."

"Besides, Jingguo doesn't have many cavalry. Whenever those Xiliang barbarians see that they can't fight, they get on their horses and run. The infantry can't catch up, so they fight very passively."

Lin Xiazhi nodded: "I see, that means horses are very important, right?"

"Yes." Cheng Wenliu was helpless. Most of Jingguo was plowing fields, and there wasn't enough pasture. In winter, the fodder the horses could eat would decrease, so they couldn't raise too many horses. If there weren't many horses, there wouldn't be more cavalry, no. It is easy to deal with the cavalry of Xiliang country.

Lin Xiazhi looked at Cheng Wenliu and said helplessly, "If I say, I have a solution here to solve the problem of raising horses?"

Cheng Wenliu paused, what did Brother Xia think of?

"As far as I know, there is a method called silage to store forage. Horses eat the forage stored in this way and grow stronger than the forage that is purely dried. As for the amount of forage, we can do it like farming. Plan a large piece of land suitable for grass growth, sow grass seeds, fertilize and water the grass, so that they grow faster and better than no one takes care of them. In addition, now that winter is about to enter, if you want to grow fresh grass, you can use the construction Greenhouses now have glass, which is more transparent than oiled paper and keeps warm, and if you use glass to build a greenhouse, you can grow grass in winter.”

Now, Lin Xiazhi doesn't even bother to say what ancient book or book he saw these things in.After explaining the specific steps of making silage, Lin Xiazhi sat on a chair and gulped water, saying that he was thirsty after talking about so many things at once.

"Okay, I'll go find King Xiaoyao again." Cheng Wen Liu Fu forehead, wondering if King Xiaoyao would have any objection to his repeated visits.
