Chapter 1488 Alcohol Takes Effect and Orders Received
So he thought for a moment and said, "Let me look for one. If I really can't find one, I'll cut one off for you."
After hearing Tang Yun's words, Chu Chen immediately wondered if this guy had something wrong with his brain.
Or is the life of this Song soldier so worthless? It's just an experiment, is it really necessary to kill a real person?
There are bound to be people with external injuries on the street and in clinics, so why bother?
So he quickly stopped him: "General Tang, there's no need to go to such lengths. You can just send someone to the clinic to get someone with external injuries."
After hearing this, Tang Yun slapped his forehead: "That's right, why didn't I think of that?"
He's a brute, another fat tiger-like brute, the kind who acts without thinking at all.
"Wait here, Young Master Chu, I'll go find it for you right away."
After saying that, Tang Yun rushed out of the courtyard in a hurry.
A short while later, he had two soldiers carry in a civilian whose expression was extremely frightened.
"Sir, sir, I haven't done anything wrong. I was just injured in a fight with Ma Er next door. I'm really not a spy."
The people were terrified to see themselves surrounded by so many soldiers.
He begged Tang Yun for mercy.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a young gentleman come to his side.
Then, with a tearing motion, he ripped open the burlap sack he had wrapped around his wound.
"What kind of knife was used, and when was it done?"
Chu Chen looked at the wound in front of him and asked.
"Hmm... You're not going to kill me? Just the other day, that bastard Ma Er next door messed with my wife. I was so angry that I fought with him, and he slashed me with a rusty woodcutter's knife."
Chu Chen nodded after listening, and then pulled Tang Yun over.
“General Tang, it’s clear that the wound is already red and oozing pus. If it’s not treated in time, he’ll likely develop a fever, and in severe cases, he might die.”
Before Tang Yun could speak, the man was so frightened that he soiled himself.
"My lords, are you saying I will die...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yun punched him on the head, knocking him unconscious.
"Damn it, you deserved it, Ma Er, for messing with your wife. I'll chop you up!"
Tang Yun cursed, then carefully examined the man's wounds.
To be honest, he had seen many wounds like this. On the battlefield, the environment was harsh, and many people would encounter such situations after being injured, just as Chu Chen had said.
Their best course of action is amputation, which is still an injury to all four limbs.
If other parts of the body are injured, then you can only endure it, or watch the person die.
"Young Master Chu, shall we use this medicine next?"
Chu Chen shook his head: "He's been like this for a few days now. I can't be sure if I can save him, but I'll give it a try."
"Several men, hold him down. General Tang, have your physician watch carefully how I do it."
After saying that, Chu Chen picked up a sharp dagger, soaked it in alcohol, and then cut directly into the rotten flesh of the wound.
"The first step is to cut away the excess rotten flesh."
After cleaning away the rotten flesh, Chu Chen took out some alcohol and poured it directly onto the wound.
After disinfection, the medical officer continued to stop the bleeding and bandage the wound.
This operation looks easy, but it is actually very difficult.
Even Chu Chen, who had witnessed countless life-and-death situations, broke out in a light sweat.
The commoner, meanwhile, was in so much pain that he would wake up and then faint, then wake up again.
After the bleeding was stopped and the wound was bandaged, Chu Chen led General Tang outside: "From now on, check the wound daily. If it doesn't continue to fester and swell, then this matter will be resolved."
The physician was secretly amazed. Although he didn't know the principle behind it, the bloody scene of the necrotic flesh being removed still made him feel uneasy.
So he couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Chu, isn't this a bit cruel?"
Chu Chen smiled and accepted the physician's address of "sir" calmly: "Compared to life, pain is nothing, but there is something that can relieve him of pain."
"Please give me some advice, sir."
"anesthetic."
"anesthetic?"
Chu Chen couldn't tell him what kind of anesthetic it was, but the medical skills of ancient times were not to be underestimated. So, after explaining the concept of anesthetics to him, the physician immediately thought of several medicinal herbs.
Three days later, the man survived completely under the care of the physician.
At this moment, Tang Yun became completely excited when he saw Chu Chen's jar of alcohol.
“Mr. Chu, if this item could be brought to the battlefield, and soldiers could be disinfected immediately upon being wounded, the casualties would likely be greatly reduced.”
Chu Chen nodded in agreement: "As for how to use it, I believe your physician is more proficient than I am. After all, I am just a businessman."
Tang Yun shook his head, then took a step back and led the soldiers to kneel down before Chu Chen.
"We are deeply grateful for Mr. Chu's great kindness!"
"What are you doing, General Tang? I can't accept this. Please get up quickly."
Tang Yun stood up, his face as if he had thought of something tragic.
After a long while, he calmed himself down and said, "Mr. Chu, you deserve it. On behalf of thousands of soldiers, I bow to you. Your actions have saved countless soldiers at the bottom of society and countless families."
After listening to Tang Yun's words, Chu Chen thought to himself that although that was true, he still had to collect the money.
This guy wouldn't make me hand over the recipe, would he? Facing so many soldiers, even though I've practiced martial arts since I was a child, I still have no chance of winning.
It seems that for my own safety, that thing needs to be made as soon as possible.
"General Tang, you are too kind. We are able to live such a peaceful life entirely thanks to you protecting the Song Kingdom for us. Therefore, my small matter is not worthy of your high praise."
Tang Yun didn't say anything more.
Instead, he invited Chu Chen to sit down and then asked, "By order of His Majesty, after witnessing the effects of this item, I would like to know at what price Mr. Chu intends to sell it."
Fortunately, this guy probably got instructions from Dong Shilan and didn't force him to give him the formula or anything.
However, you'll have to think about the price carefully.
Based on the cost of brewing and producing the wine myself, one pound would probably cost more than one tael of silver.
However, this is a major event that benefits the country and its people, and Chu Chen has no intention of making a lot of money from it.
After all, there are many ways to make money, but if you're going to make money, you have to make it with a conscience.
Moreover, aside from the people in Liexi Village, he doesn't need much money. He came into this world, but ultimately, he will leave.
Just like every ordinary person, we come into this world, and after a hundred years, we will eventually leave.
Money is something you can't take with you when you're born or when you die. It's enough to experience the world; there's no need to accumulate too much wealth.
You should know that being content with a little wealth is not enough...
"General Tang, to be honest, alcohol is a good thing for the country and its people, so I won't make too much money from it."
