Hu Feng and the others were arranged to take a bath. Li Yi changed his clothes, washed his hands and face, and then returned to the single room in the canteen.
He was afraid that if he came into contact with animals, there would be bacteria on him and he would infect the little fellow. He had to treat it as the little fellow was still uncomfortable.
As soon as he entered the single room, Li Yi found that everyone had stopped eating. Even the little fellow who was drooling was not allowed to eat. They were waiting for him.
Li Yi sat down, picked up a cucumber strip, and cut it into pieces with a spoon. He pushed the chopsticks into the spoon and put it in the little fellow's bowl.
The little fellow opened her eyes wide, looked at her spoon, and smacked the cucumber cubes in the bowl, giggling.
"Hu Feng and the others who helped catch the Khitan soldiers last time came back and killed a black bear with a crossbow arrow through its eyes.
I caught ten nine-joint wolves and fifteen forest musk deer alive. I call the nine-joint wolves small pandas. They are very cute.
I have a way to take the musk out of the forest musk deer alive. I take it once a year. The forest musk deer is fine. "
Li Yi explained the situation, mainly emphasizing on taking the musk out of the forest musk alive.
The biggest consumption of musk in the Tang dynasty was not medical use, but the incense used to make incense.
The poor could not afford to buy musk when they were sick, but the rich could buy it to make incense.
The three of them suddenly thought of the pharmacy. Now they did not like to burn incense and preferred to spray perfume in the house.
Li Chengqi took a sip of wine: "Brother Yi, do you have a way to take the sachet out of the forest musk deer alive?"
"It's not a sachet, it's a spice. When it's just taken out, it doesn't smell good. It needs to be processed later.
It's like digging out earwax. Very soon, in a few breaths.
In addition, I can also take the bile of the bear alive and make it into powder. I plan to buy live bears to raise.
In the future, I think all the medicine related to bear gall should be provided by me. "
Li Yi meant to ask the imperial court to help spread the news, mainly about the purchase of bear gall medicine.
"Uncle, does it hurt to take bile from a live bear?" Empress Wang suddenly asked.
"It hurts, and it's easy to get infected, so I plan to use herbs instead. I'll raise dozens of bears for tourists to see."
Li Yi found that his current hardware condition was not enough to put a drainage tube in the bear.
The main difficulty was in preventing infection. He could use this as a gimmick.
The patient asked for treatment, not to extract the gallbladder.
His substitute at that time was made from the bile of other poultry and pigs, cows, and sheep.
If it really wasn't useful, why bother to refine it?
Herbs could replace bear gall to treat some diseases.
Li Yi decided that other than the bear gall, he would use other herbs.
Then, every once in a while, the bile would be taken instead of the usual drainage tube.
It was like burying a needle. It was very painful to accidentally touch it.
Of course, if the hunters were willing to kill, Li Yi wouldn't care. There were too many bears.
At that time, it was a Grade II protected animal.
That was not the case in the Tang dynasty. Coercion was not allowed.
Li Longji and the others understood. It was mainly the forest musk deer. As for the bear, it was for takeout.
One couldn't kill a bear just for its gallbladder. If a hunter wanted the bear's skin, he wouldn't care. He would also get the bear's gallbladder.
"Also, you can try to catch some poisonous snakes and make them into snake venom. I need to use horses or rabbits to make it.
I've already used the corresponding equipment for the smallpox vaccine, so I don't need to buy it again.
Actually, it can be reduced, but since you have the equipment, why not use it? "
Li Yi wanted to make snake venom. Usually, he made one type of snake for each type of snake. Sometimes, it was not easy to use.
When he made the smallpox vaccine, he had the equipment, so he could make snake venom serum. The main thing was inactivation.
Inactivation was also possible. He just needed to inject a very small amount of snake venom into horses and rabbits.
If the snake venom carried germs and viruses, then the horses and rabbits would be infected. After testing and finding that there were germs and viruses, there was no need to inject them.
If there were no viruses and germs, then they could be used again.
It saved the step of inactivation. It was like the people who had smallpox in the past. They took the powder from the smallpox site and blew it into the nose of normal people.
There was no inactivation in the process. If that person had other diseases, it was likely to be contagious.
"Brother Yi, can you treat smallpox?" Li Chengqi didn't think about the snake venom serum at all.
"I can't treat it. I can only support the treatment. It depends on fate, but it can be prevented. However, there has been no smallpox in the Tang dynasty in recent years."
Li Yi had already asked. No one in the Tang dynasty had smallpox at the moment, so he didn't promote the vaccine. He had the virus, so he could make a lot of vaccines at any time.
If no one had smallpox, he couldn't immediately release the vaccine for others to use.
First, it was inconvenient for transportation. Second, why would others use it?
You said that you could prevent smallpox, but there was a certain risk. No one would do it.
Only when smallpox appeared in a place, the people in the surrounding places would be willing to be vaccinated.
"So, if you give the medicine to people in advance, they won't get smallpox?" Li Longji guessed.
"Yes, it will leave a small scar, usually on the arm." Li Yi nodded.
"What about snake venom?" Li Longji asked again.
"Not snake venom. Snake venom is given to me first. I use snake venom to make medicine. When others are bitten by the same snake, they will be injected with this medicine."
Li Yi introduced. The two things were different. One was a serum, and the other was a vaccine.
"Yes, yes." Hearing the adults talking, the little girl interrupted.
"Yes, yes." Li Yi immediately responded.
The little girl showed a happy smile and continued to eat with the spoon.
Li Longji and Li Chengqi were absent-minded while eating.
The two of them thought of the same thing. Brother Yi could prevent smallpox. If he gave it to people in advance, it would be terrible.
Then their own people would use it, and then …
Yes, the two of them thought of the virus war.
Li Yi actually also thought about it, but he rejected it.
That kind of method couldn't be used outside. Otherwise, it would be one kind of virus today. If someone survived, it would be another kind of virus tomorrow …
People would lose themselves. If a person was used to using despicable means to target others, this person would eventually become a devil.
If a country was like this, it would be the same.
After they finished eating, the little girl was sleepy and was arranged to sleep in the bedroom in the courtyard by the palace maids and eunuchs.
Empress Wang didn't care about it. It was safer in Zhuangzi than in her palace.
Even after moving to Xingqing Palace, Empress Wang still didn't let down her guard.
"Brother Yi, can you show us how to take the musk alive?" Li Chengqi tried to think of specific things.
"No, the male forest musk deer now needs to rely on the fragrance to attract the female forest musk deer. If its musk is taken away, it will become a failure."
Li Yi knew that the musk was the best at this time. It was also the time when hunters were most willing to hunt forest musk deer.
In summer, hunters would only wander around in the nearby areas. They would only go to places far away in winter.
With snow, there would be traces of oneself and animals. It was easy to find animals, and one wouldn't get lost.
"I'll take you to see the red pandas. Red pandas are interesting. They like to play all day long. They are more lively than giant pandas. At the same time, they are willing to be with many of them."
Li Yi changed the topic. The red pandas should be arranged to go to places with snow.
