Chapter 244 New Drugs

People like Jennings and Sulla are professional officers. Their physical fitness is far higher than ordinary people, and their drinking capacity is greater than ordinary people. Although they do not encourage drinking, people like Odaye do not even drink. On average, everyone drinks two or three times. About kilograms.

Julian drank the wine in one gulp and said: "I feel that there have been great changes in recent years. For example, Odaye's restaurant has roasted suckling pig and lamb. A few years ago, the territory was relatively short of meat. , it is impossible for us to eat suckling pig or lamb. Even eating a roasted whole lamb is considered a luxury."

Odaye said: "Yes, the price of meat, sugar, and wine have all dropped a bit this year. An ordinary soldier family can regularly consume brown sugar and white wine."

"Let's drink to a better life!"

After everyone had eaten and drank, Sulla handed over the food. He is a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs. Although he has the largest share in the hotel, because of his partnership with Odaye, he takes the initiative to pay every time he comes to eat.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Jennings stood at the end. He quietly said to Odaye: "I heard that Sula got married?"

Odaye nodded and said: "Sula got married three months ago, to an indentured widow. The widow and her four children were allocated thirty-six acres of land near Graveson Castle. I also moved my family from Village near Vicburg, moved to Gravessen, and became neighbors with Sulla's family.

Because our family has no strong labor force, we rent out half of the farmland. The remaining half of the farmland is planted with pasture and more than 200 sheep are raised. Sula's wife is good at raising pigs, and we raise a dozen old sows. The suckling pigs and lambs used in the restaurant are all produced at home. In fact, there is still a lack of meat in the market outside, and lambs and suckling pigs are rarely sold. "

"How is the hotel's revenue this year?"

"In addition to expenses, there is a net profit of about thirty gold coins. But Sura's investment in gold coins has exceeded two hundred. There are a total of six indentured servants in the hotel and home."

Zhan Nings nodded and said: "The profit is still possible. In a few years, when Mr. Richard becomes the earl, the migration law should be abolished. It is very good for the development of business, and your income will increase."

"I hope this day comes soon. The ban on migration is very detrimental to the flow of business. When I go to Graveson's home, I need to write an application and go through many procedures, which is really troublesome. There are no immigrants in Fort William. The market relies entirely on local free people. If this does not change, our profits will have reached an end. The prohibition on migration has seriously restricted business activities. "

Jennings sighed: "Nothing is perfect in the world. The development of the territory depends entirely on the external market. Without the income from the sales of brown sugar, steel, wool, glass and other commodities, the territory cannot support seven thousand regular troops. Although the prohibition of migration law It is not conducive to the flow of business, and it also limits the activities of espionage and prolongs the time for technology leaks. Everyone should understand this situation. "

Odaye nodded and said: "I don't mean to complain, I just hope that Mr. Richard will become a great nobleman as soon as possible. Mr. Richard has become a great nobleman, and our territory has become an earldom. It is almost time to relax the ban."

Zhan Nings nodded, found that Su La had walked away, pushed Odaye, and asked quietly: "With Su La's conditions, you can marry a noble lady, why do you want to find someone with several children?" widow?"

"The widow looked very much like Sulla's sister. Sulla's parents died very early, and their brothers were raised by their sister. The soldiers of the Duke of Guise killed his brother-in-law and killed Sulla's three siblings. Sold to a slave merchant. Sula’s sister died on the road, and his brother was also bought by a merchant in Nolan. Sula has not found his family for so many years.”

Hearing Sura's tragic past, Zhannings sighed empathetically: "Hey! I hope the goddess of the morning will bless and reunite Sura's brothers as soon as possible."

The situation of Jennings is similar to that of Sulla, except that his parents did not resist, and the entire family was captured by soldiers of the Duke of Guise.

When migrating from the Delong Kingdom, Jennings's grandmother also died on the way.

In Jennings' memory, it was a very difficult road, and many old and sick people were abandoned on the road.

When they arrived in Nolan, life was also very difficult. Jennings' grandfather died of freezing and starvation in the first winter due to malnutrition, and his aunt was bought by a bald businessman because of her beauty.

His uncle became a eunuch during that time and was sent to Grant's royal court.

That memory will never be forgotten by Zhannings for the rest of his life. Thinking of his lost relatives, his displaced aunt, and his castrated uncle, Zhannings also had the idea of ​​revenge in his mind.

It's just that his reason can suppress crazy thoughts, but for the soldiers of the Duchy of Guise, people who have experienced them will always hate them to the bone.

Coming out of the Odaye Hotel, Jennings looked at the sun and felt that he still had a lot of time left, so he decided to go to Fort William Hospital to visit his sister first.

There are now six and a half infantry brigades and two cavalry brigades in Harland territory.

Responsible for the first line of defense in the north are the Second Battalion, the Fifth Battalion, the Sixth Battalion, and the Scout Cavalry Brigade. Their strength exceeds half of the main force in the territory.

The second brigade is stationed in the swamp basin, guarding the two mage towers in the territory.

The Scout Cavalry Battalion is stationed at the Fortress, and the Fifth Battalion is stationed at Graveson Castle. The First Battalion, the First and Second Guard Squadrons, and the Warcraft Cavalry Battalion are stationed at Fort William. The Third Battalion is stationed at Fort Vick, and the Fourth Battalion is stationed at Fort Sophia.

The Sixth Battalion where Jennings is stationed is stationed at the Flower Castle, and is also responsible for patrolling the copper mine area.

The Fifth and Sixth Battalions have completed a year of recruit training. Because they are mixed with veterans from the Third and Fourth Battalions, although their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the old troops, it has not declined too much.

However, the army was established not long ago, and officers and soldiers need to run in for a period of time. Recently, military affairs are busy. Unless the senior officers of the whole army are meeting, Jennings rarely comes to Fort William. He has not seen his wife for two and a half months.

Connie failed to advance to a magician, and her mental space was injured. It takes three years of recuperation to recover.

During the three years of injury, she cannot meditate or cast spells.

It only takes about half a year to a year for advanced students to advance to warriors. If a magic apprentice fails to advance to a professional, the cost will be higher, and it will take three to five years to recover.

Connie only needs to recuperate for three years because she is young. After becoming a professional, if a magician fails to advance, it will often be delayed for a longer time.

Connie still works in the hospital. She has been in the hospital for five years. In the past five years, she has been learning in the hospital. Not only can she perform several common operations and become a qualified surgeon, but she has also summarized a lot of internal medicine experience and took the initiative to transfer to the hospital's internal medicine department. She has become a good internal medicine doctor.

Although Connie is not very talented in learning magic, she may be more suitable to be a doctor. She is more talented in learning medicine.

Compared with the rapid development of surgery, the development of internal medicine in Harland Territory Hospital is very slow. It can only treat diseases by summarizing various experiences, and the effect is not very good.

Doctors who can perform operations are the backbone of the hospital, and most of the internal medicine doctors are not very good.

Connie likes medicine very much in her heart.

After failing to become a magician, Connie was depressed for a while, but she has come out of the haze recently and is preparing to study a new drug.

She cannot meditate within three years, so she plans to focus all her energy on medicine.

The work of internal medicine is relatively leisurely, and there are not many patients in a day.

The few who come occasionally come to the internal medicine department just to queue up for registration, get admitted to the hospital early, and find a surgeon for surgery.

When Jennings came, he found that Connie was receiving a patient with a serious skin disease. Connie carefully took off a piece of ulcerated skin debris and soaked it in a special solution.

"You need to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time. According to my experience, it should be a bacterial infection."

"Can you let the surgeon take a look and arrange an operation for me, doctor?"

"Surgery is useless for this disease, and magic healing is more effective. Our internal medicine department is studying a drug recently. If you agree, we can also give you an experimental quota to try the effect."

"I, I still want to have surgery." Perhaps because Connie is young, the patient said a little embarrassedly.

"In that case, I'll write you a list and let Dean Griffin take a look. However, your disease is indeed not suitable for surgery, and it is estimated that you will be transferred to the internal medicine department."

Because surgery has cured difficult and complicated diseases, for ordinary contract servants, it seems that surgery can cure all diseases.

In fact, most diseases are incurable. Whether it is surgery or internal medicine, most diseases are helpless. The best way to treat diseases is magic therapy.

The healing spell can not only stop bleeding, but also improve vitality. With improved vitality, the body's immunity and resistance will also be improved in a short time.

Relying on the improved vitality, the healing spell can resist the inflammatory storm and is most effective for diseases invaded by bacteria and viruses. Moreover, there are spells such as plague removal in magic therapy, which are also very effective in killing some special viruses. Many diseases are cured in this way.

The only disadvantage of magic therapy is that it is difficult to popularize.

The population of Grant Kingdom is tens of millions, but the number of magicians is less than 300. Even if a magician casts spells to save people every day, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the huge patient base, and it cannot improve the average life expectancy.

According to the statistics of Riverbank Primary School, the probability of low magic talent is about one in fifty, but the children who can go to Riverbank Primary School seem to be smarter.

Magnified to the entire population base, the probability of people with magic talent is estimated to be only one percent. Even if all these people with magic talent are trained to become magic doctors, how many patients can they treat with healing skills every day?

The development of medical level still relies on a large number of ordinary doctors.

Although there are relatively few internal medicine doctors and their level is relatively low. From Richard to several hospital deans, they still attach great importance to the development of internal medicine, and equipped internal medicine doctors with a microscope to let several internal medicine doctors do research.

After seeing her brother, Connie nodded and sent away the patients first. When she saw that there were no new patients, she asked, "Brother, when did you come back?"

"Sura invited us old comrades to dinner, so I took a day off and came to see you. How are you doing recently?"

After arriving at the hospital, Jennings saw that Connie was in a good mood, so he put aside his worries.

"Very good. I accidentally discovered that the indentured slaves from the Grand Duchy of Stannik used a special herb to treat burns, and the effect was quite good. By studying the medicinal properties of this herb, I invented an ointment for treating burns, using four or five plants, and the animal experiment was very successful. However, there are relatively few patients with burns in the territory, and human experiments have not yet begun, so the treatment effect and side effects are still uncertain."

In the Harland Territory Hospital, human experiments on new drugs need to be approved by the hospital. In addition to the dean and vice dean, there are also several authoritative doctors who have the right to approve.

These people have different voting rights, and the experiments on new drugs will only be approved after the vote is passed.

Only after approval by the hospital can new drugs be used for patients.

Generally speaking, before human experiments, animals will be used for experiments. Only when the treatment effect of animal experiments is outstanding will they enter the human experiment stage.

In fact, 80% of the new drugs in the Harland Territory can be sold when they reach the human experiment stage.

After all, the Harland Territory does not attach as much importance to human life as the Earth in the previous life, and there is no monopoly in the territory. In order to raise the threshold, the pharmaceutical giant has formulated extremely cumbersome procedures for new drug human experiments to block competitors. If a new drug is developed, as long as the side effects are not too serious and the drug has a certain effect, the new drug will be approved and manufactured for sale.

In the years since the establishment of Harland Hospital, five drugs have been developed, and the most successful one is the hemostatic ointment.

The core of the hemostatic ointment is the two drugs of purple head peak royal jelly and purple blood vine. Purple blood vine can be planted on a large scale in the Harland Territory. Now the production of hemostatic ointment is insufficient, mainly due to the production of purple head peak royal jelly.

Richard also ordered drug researchers to find substitutes, using ordinary honey, royal jelly, and some blood-activating and blood-dissolving plants to make ointments with purple blood vine, but the effect is very general and cannot replace the efficacy of purple head peak royal jelly at all.

This year, a new queen bee appeared in the purple head peak hive in the Harland Territory.

According to the rules of the hive, there can only be one queen bee in a nest of purple-headed bees. If they are not taken care of in time, the two queen bees will fight and the young queen bee will be killed by the adult queen bee.

The purple-headed bees have a relatively large range of activities, and the area within a radius of dozens of kilometers is considered their territory.

Because a purple-headed bee nest was built near Fort Wick, some people are stung by purple-headed bees every year during the flowering season. The tail sting of the purple-headed bee is poisonous, and beekeepers were often stung to death in the past.

After Sophia gave birth to Margaret, she moved to Fort William, which was also a factor.
