After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Lin Mingxuan prescribed Wutou Decoction and Duhuo Jisheng Decoction to dispel wind, cold and dampness, relieve pain, and nourish the liver, kidney and spleen. He also prescribed honeysuckle and wild chrysanthemum, etc., and asked Yue Ling to make tea to relieve her cough. Ding Xirui did some massage, and Yue Ling only felt warmth in her knees, and her discomfort was greatly relieved.

"Oh, it doesn't matter to me, I just feel sorry for those ten-year-old children..." she murmured.

"Miss, you should take care of your health first." Ah He said.

Yue Ling's face showed a trace of pity, and she thought of the three girls who huddled together in the cell for warmth.

"We'll talk about it later." She bowed and left with the two of them.

Ding Xirui seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes looking at the prescription, his thoughts flying to Yue Ling.

In the evening, Ding Xirui received a small package sent by Xu Weining from Qizhou. In the package was a thick stack of letters and a small packet of medicine powder.

Before she finished reading the letter, Ding Xirui's hands could not help but tremble. Seeing this, Lin Mingxuan hurried to her side.

"What happened?"

"Drugs." She pointed at the packet of powder and said in a daze.

"what?"

"Opium..." The letter in Ding Xirui's hand fell to the ground.

"What's the matter, Xirui?" Lin Mingxuan held her shoulders and asked her to turn to him.

Ding Xirui carefully picked up the packet of medicine and said again: "Some people in Qizhou use this thing to treat diseases, but it is poison."

Lin Mingxuan picked up the letter and read it carefully from beginning to end. Xu Weining said that a magical powder had recently appeared in Qizhou, which could cure all kinds of diseases, including headaches, coughs, arthritis, spleen and stomach discomfort, and even diarrhea. However, it was expensive and only the rich could afford it. Xu Weining felt strange and asked someone to buy a small package for inspection, and then forwarded half of it to Ding Xirui.

"The letter said that this powder can indeed cure some diseases. Xirui, why are you so scared?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"No, it can't cure diseases, it can only temporarily paralyze the body." Ding Xirui still had fear on his face. "If you take it continuously, you will become addicted. That person will be dependent on it for the rest of his life. He will lose everything, his wife and children will be separated, and he will gradually become skinny and die soon."

"This..." Lin Mingxuan originally wanted to take the medicine powder and take a look, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

"We must write to Doctor Xu as soon as possible. No, we must write to Uncle Gao Boyan and let Lord Li write to the governor. This thing must not be circulated!" Ding Xirui pulled Lin Mingxuan and hurried to the back hall. He knocked over a chair and didn't even turn back to help it up.

"Xirui, don't be anxious, take your time and do it one by one." Lin Mingxuan held her hand.

Ding Xirui took a few deep breaths, sat down, cut some paper and started writing. At the end, she felt that she had not explained it clearly enough, so she drew a big skull.

After the letter was written, it was taken away by a messenger. Ding Xirui dragged Lin Mingxuan to the yamen. After some explanation, Li Xingjian became angry again. His Huimin Pharmacy was short of even ordinary medicinal materials. This inexplicably expensive poison was secretly circulated in Qizhou. Coupled with the psychedelic powder he had just learned about, he was so angry that he paced back and forth in the yamen and almost dropped his teacup.

"I will go there myself!"

He called the county magistrate, briefed him on recent affairs, and took Ling Junsheng and several other yamen runners with him, escorting Yin Ayao to Qizhou.

As night approached, lanterns were hung along the street, and a few drizzles of rain floated down from the sky, gradually wetting the ground. Lin Mingxuan held Ding Xirui's hand and walked back slowly.

"How do you know that the powder is poisonous?" he asked after a while.

"I am the daughter of a medicinal herb merchant after all, don't look down on me." Ding Xirui rolled his eyes at him and smiled slightly, but he felt bitter in his heart.

"What is the opium you are talking about made of?"

"Opium." Ding Xirui said calmly, "Although the Materia Medica says that poppy shells and opium can cure diseases, they must be controlled by doctors and combined according to prescriptions to treat symptoms. Doctor Xu said that the stuff has already appeared in the market. Some people don't see doctors when they are sick and are afraid of taking medicine. They take it without knowing it, which will definitely cause big problems."

Lin Mingxuan nodded. "There is no medicine that can cure all diseases. There must be something wrong with saying this."

"Ah."

The rain was getting heavier, and the two held each other's hands tightly and trotted back to the clinic. The temperature dropped, the rain turned into ice, and the ground was slippery, so An Yumo closed the wonton stall.

"Xi Rui," she came to the brazier, dispelled the moisture on her body, and then took out a small purse from her sleeve, "Look what this is?"

Ding Xirui opened his purse, opened his mouth wide, and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

An Yumo withdrew his hand, a little puzzled: "Why are you like this? Today a customer said that putting this thing in the soup will make the soup taste better, but I don't know what this thing is."

"Don't use it." Ding Xirui sighed.

"what is this?"

"Poppy. It's poisonous." Ding Xirui clenched her purse. What was going on recently? These things appeared one after another. Her heart could not bear it any longer.

"I was so scared." An Yumo stroked his chest, "Fortunately I didn't listen to him directly, otherwise, I would be in big trouble."

Ding Xirui called everyone in the clinic and strictly ordered them that if they found poppy fruits, poppy shells or opium, they must deal with them seriously and not let them go easily.

The clinic rarely uses opium to treat diseases. Seeing Ding Xirui so serious, Xiaoqiang and others nodded in agreement.

Ding Xirui put the things in the medicine cabinet and locked it, her inner anger was about to explode. Wait, now she can only wait, she is a civilian, a doctor, she can only start from her surroundings.

He returned home in silence and finished the unfinished candles. Ding Xirui bought a small pot, boiled the washed Chinese tallow tree seeds until they were soft, crushed the outer wax layer over and over again, sieved it, put it into the pot, added water and continued to boil, waited for the wax oil to float up, put it through the sieve, and white wax appeared in the big bowl. The remaining black and shiny seeds were washed again and taken to the clinic for medicinal use.

There is no container for making long candles, but there are shorter small plates and small jars. Put the oil-soaked rush in the middle, then pour the melted wax oil into it, let it sit for a while, and the candle is ready. A large bag of Chinese tallow tree can make more than a dozen jars of candles, lined up in a row, and I feel a sense of accomplishment.

I picked up a can and replaced the original oil lamp, and the brightness in the room gradually increased.

Lin Mingxuan put down the medical records in his hand, dimmed the lamp, and said with a smile: "My wife is really talented."

"Tsk~" Ding Xirui rolled his eyes at him and sat down. "It took me four days to finish it on and off. It was really not easy."

"We worked hard during the day and were pressed for time at night. It's already very good that we can finish it in four days. It will be enough for us to use for some time." He stood up and massaged her shoulders.

Ding Xirui also gathered the candles and said, "The Chinese tallow tree is very good. I thought that when we go back, we can plant it on the ridges of the fields. When winter comes, it will be a considerable income. We will take some, and the rest will belong to them. We can also plant it near the hot spring villa, so that we can enjoy the red leaves in autumn and pick the fruits in winter. We can open a small candle workshop and let the masters, young masters, or ladies of the rich families make candles..."

Lin Mingxuan smiled and tapped her forehead, "That's a good idea."

"In fact, we can also grow crops here in Lan County." Ding Xirui leaned back and leaned on him. "The grain and silver earned from farming are limited, and there are many ways to increase income. Honeysuckle, Chinese tallow tree, dogwood, and fruit trees, as long as the county government is willing to invest the first sum of money, it shouldn't be a loss."

"Okay, wait for Magistrate Li to come back and give him some advice." He sat down and hugged her gently.

Li Xingjian rode as fast as he could to Qizhou. Two days later, he arrived at the governor's mansion. The newly appointed governor, Xun, was appointed by the emperor. He immediately sent people to search secretly and submitted a memorial to the court. What he didn't know was that opium had already spread among some princes and nobles. Before the emperor issued an order to ban it, some addicts had already appeared.

The opium in Qizhou came from foreign countries in the south, which was close to the sea. Governor Xun paid up all of it and distributed it to various medical clinics in Qizhou and its subordinate counties for medical treatment. At the same time, he arrested the merchants who sold the opium powder. Those who carried the powder multiple times or carried large amounts of the powder were all sentenced to exile. The rest were sentenced to imprisonment. Foreigners were either escorted to the court or expelled from the country. Those who bought the powder were fined and warned in court.

All six counties under Qizhou received the order and posted the notice. Ding Xirui breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know the future of this world, and didn't know whether this country would be deeply harmed by opium in a few hundred years. Now, she could only fulfill her duties as a doctor.

As for the person who secretly sold the psychedelic powder, Ling Junsheng and the yamen runners of the governor's mansion secretly followed him and found a plantation. Ling Junsheng dug up two plants and brought them back to Jimin Medical Clinic, and burned the rest.
