Chaihu Guizhi Decoction is said to have been invented by Zhang Zhongjing.

Who is Zhang Zhongjing?

In later generations, it was the hometown of Li Mengxi when he was a child, Nanyang, a place of outstanding people and one of the Four Saints of Nanyang.

The Four Sages of Nanyang, which ones are they?

Shang sage Fan Li, science sage Zhang Heng, medical sage Zhang Zhongjing, wisdom sage Zhuge Kongming.

When I was a child, my teacher often introduced these four celebrities, so I knew them relatively clearly.

Zhang Zhongjing happened to be from the late Han Dynasty, and he wrote a treatise on febrile diseases that was passed down to later generations.

Zhang Zhongjing should be the governor of Changsha, a native of Wu when the Three Kingdoms were in power.

At this time, it is not necessarily certain where Zhang Zhongjing is, and it is not certain whether he has served as an official. It is not certain whether Zhang Zhongjing invented Bupleurum Guizhi Decoction.

Therefore, Li Mengxi only said that he heard it from elsewhere and asked the military doctor to divine. Since the diviner knew the properties of the medicine, he thought about whether this Bupleurum Guizhi Decoction could be used.

Bu is a professional, at least in the area of ​​traditional Chinese medicine pharmacology, much better than Li Mengxi.

Finally, after Li Mengxi suggested it, he wrote it on a piece of rough paper and prepared the prescription.

I saw that Bu Xian had written down the old Bupleurum prescription. After each medicine, he also wrote the weight, such as one tael, two taels, and half taels.

Then, add cinnamon twigs.

Bu frowned and thought, doing calculations with his hands, crossing out one or two medicines from time to time, adding new ones from time to time, or constantly modifying the medicines.

But looking at the back of the Bupleurum medicine, Bu corrected it three times.

Li Mengxi watched quietly. He felt that the process of dispensing medicine now was just like using a scale to weigh chemicals when doing chemical experiments. Add one gram here and one gram there. It was all calculated.

Li Mengxi wanted to say, aren't you ancient people, aren't you traditional Chinese medicine, and don't you just rely on feeling and experience when taking medicine? Why do you calculate it over and over again, and change the weight of the medicine again and again? It's so precise, which makes Li Mengxi somewhat doubtful.

The impression of traditional Chinese medicine is that of a chemist.

Finally, Bu prepared a new prescription.

The new prescription is Chaihu Guizhi Decoction,

To use medicine, 1 and 2 halves of cinnamon twigs (peeled), 1 and 2 halves of skullcap, 1 and 2 halves of ginseng, one tael of licorice (broiled), two and a half pieces of pinellia, one and two halves of peony, six jujubes, and one and two halves of ginger (cut)

, four liang of Bupleurum.

For the nine flavors, boil three liters with seven liters of water, remove the drizzle, and drink one liter warm.

The prescription is ready.

Li Mengxi came up with the idea, and Bu completed the prescription based on his own medical experience and theoretical knowledge.

In the room, there was a sudden cry.

The unknown doll in the room was given acupuncture by the military doctor and rubbed with alcohol using Li Mengxi's method. After sleeping for a while, he suddenly woke up.

When I woke up, I cried and rubbed my eyes, looking for my mother.

Everyone hurried over to look after him, but before they could go over, the child turned over and fell off the bed with a snap.

Then she cried even harder.

Li Mengxi smiled unkindly.

The military doctor wanted to coddle the baby, but the baby cried hoarsely and ran all over the room without being touched.

When the child came, he was carried back by the cavalry and was in a coma.

When he woke up, he thought he had been kidnapped by a child cannibal. He was afraid that he would be eaten. The child was so frightened that he cried.

The military doctor couldn't stand it anymore and picked up the baby. The baby was biting and scratching.

The "Zhao Zilong" who brought the child back also tried to help coax the child, but was unable to do so.

Li Mengxi went over. Children are afraid of adults, but they are not so afraid of Li Mengxi, a villain. When he saw Li Mengxi coming, he cried and clenched his fists and wanted to hit Li Mengxi.

In the end, it was Liu Bei who coaxed the child.

Liu Bei spoke softly and patiently on the corner of the bed, comforting the little baby for a long time. Then, he went over and tried to pick up the baby. Surprisingly, he stopped resisting.

Liu Bei was very good at coaxing his children.

For example, Xiao Bian doesn't want Zhang Fei to hug him, nor does he want Guan Yu to hug him. Liu Bei will be fine if he hugs him.

Maybe, this is the so-called personality charm.

Among Liu, Guan, and Zhang, Zhang Fei was fierce and Guan Yu had an arrogant face that could repel people thousands of miles away. Only Liu Bei usually had a gentle look on his face, with a natural smile and a natural look that made him easy to talk to.

Many of the soldiers were close to Liu Bei, even the children.

The child was sobbing, and Liu Bei carried him outside.

The military doctor told me not to catch cold in the wind if my clothes were thin.

Liu Bei took a look, and sure enough, the doll's clothes were in tatters, and his arms could touch his ribs.

Liu Bei then turned to look at Li Mengxi and ordered, "Xi'er, go find some clothes."

At this time, it became clear that Liu Bei did not regard Li Mengxi as a subordinate, but more as a junior, and gave orders casually.

Clothes are also hard to find.

Don't look at small items of clothing. In this era, they are valuable items.

It is very likely that in some poor areas, people are afraid of wearing out their clothes, so they are reluctant to wear them when working, so they wear a skirt made of straw curtains to cover them up and then go to work.

Cloth and grain are hard currencies. Ordinary people can be considered to be well-off if each person in the family has one set of clothes and there are not many patches on the clothes.

Now in the manor, the ordinary tenants of Zhang Fei's family are fine. They may have extra clothes, but there are hundreds of refugees. Because there is no extra clothes for them, many people's clothes are still in tatters, including the children among the refugees.

First, I had to scrape together enough clothes.

There is no extra clothing and it is not easy to find.

Li Mengxi went to see where to find clothes.

Finally, Li Mengxi put his younger brother in the pavilion and brought him his clothes.

The younger brother ran off somewhere and went crazy. He took off his clothes and threw them there before running away.

When Li Mengxi brought the clothes to Liu Bei, Liu Bei recognized them as Xiao Zhuan's clothes at a glance.

Liu Bei asked with a smile, "You take Zhuan'er's clothes, what will Zhuan'er wear?"

Having said that, Liu Bei put the children down with their clothes and helped them put them on.

"Xiao Bian has plenty of clothes." Li Mengxi replied.

"However," Li Mengxi looked at the children getting dressed and thought thoughtfully, "Xuan Degong and General Guan are going to recruit the Yellow Turbans. Among the refugees, there will be many old and weak. We should prepare clothes and accommodation early in the morning.

Just in case you’re caught off guard.”

Liu Bei nodded, "This matter has been arranged. Yide ordered the strong men to build a large grass shed to provide a place for the refugees to stay.

As for clothing, if there is a shortage of cloth, we can make it now.”

Resettling the refugees is not an easy task, as Li Mengxi could expect, and so could Liu, Guan, and Zhang, who had rich life experience.

Later, Liu Bei saw that the child was weak, so he bent down and held the baby in his arms.

Arriving at the threshing floor, Liu Bei looked at the empty field, glanced at Li Mengxi, and joked, "Xi'er, call your army!"

Li Mengxi was stunned, "Huh?"

It turns out that Liu Bei was referring to children.

Li Mengxi went to find the children.

In the past few days, straw huts have begun to be built. The children among the refugees have helped the adults with the work, and the little bricks have also run over to watch people working.

Li Mengxi searched around, and after a while, a large group of children came running over with a roar.

The children were running over like crazy and noisy, like an army crossing the border.
