Episode 576
‘I think mixing opium is to relieve the pain that comes with it…?’
He said after reading Jin Cheon-hee’s expression.
“of course! We also know that mercury is a powerful substance and can harm the body if used incorrectly. However, treatment is possible if it is used just enough to prevent the patient from dying. but…! Even so, it is harmful, so we use it with caution.”
‘What does it mean to use mercury carefully?’
Jin Cheonhee was confused, but forced herself to maintain a calm expression.
‘Still, I think we recognize that mercury is harmful.’
If so, if you do a good job, wouldn’t you be able to convince people not to use it in the future?
Jin Cheonhee thought.
He said.
“Besides, isn’t the characteristic of this disease precisely mania? Older people give up treatment, but for young people with mania, drugs using cinnabar are prescribed. “Anyway, you have to purify cinnabar to get mercury.”
‘Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Acquaintances? ‘You’re using it with opium?’
Jinsa. A sulfide mineral also called rosacea.
Although it is used as a medicinal ingredient in traditional medicine, mercury can be obtained by purifying it.
And parts other than mercury are also used as medicine. That part is also used as an elixir of mental stability.
It is said to be effective in treating mania, and there are many records of its actual effectiveness.
of course.
This is also frequently used by members of the Moorim Star Council.
However, since it is a dangerous medicine with great side effects, Baeklin Uigak replaces cinnabar with other medicines.
But are you using this together with opium?
“If I do something wrong, the patient could die, right?”
He nodded at those words.
“No matter what you do, usage and dosage are important. “We will first observe the progress and if the medicine you brought, White Cloaked Divine Dragon, is more helpful, we will use it.”
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“Rather than that, hygiene is more important.”
“…I will consider it.”
The conversation ends here.
All that remains is to go out and ask Master to send me antibiotics.
But the treatment here is also.
The empty eyes of therapists and patients.
There is such a severe gap between the rich and the poor that hygiene and other things are luxuries.
The congressman felt rotten inside because there was nothing that could help with quarantine.
‘You’re not intentionally ignoring it because you don’t think you’ll do it, right?’
I’ll watch it and if it doesn’t work, I’ll attack it.
‘First of all, I need to ask the nearest medical office to send me insecticides with a price tag of 4,000 won.’
Distance is a problem. Distance.
* * *
Infectious diseases and sociology are inseparable.
Especially in this day and age, humans have to go through other people to do anything.
Meeting family, meeting friends, going to work in the fields.
Beyond this, it is true that diseases inherently spread faster in unclean environments.
And the poorer the environment, the more difficult it is to be clean.
‘If we include the slums, there could be more people at stake.’
During the Five Readings, religion was a problem.
But the gap between rich and poor is the problem here.
And the question is whether the director of the treatment center understood properly.
When I returned to the Beihai Ice Palace, Gongsun Yong was waiting for me first.
“Hey, why are you so late?”
“Something was a bit complicated. “Oh, I’ll change my clothes first.”
As soon as I left the treatment center, I turned on the fire generator once, but new clothes would still be better.
Jin Cheon-hee immediately changed her clothes and turned her old clothes on again.
Hwang-gu and Noe-jin also sent a small amount of chemical energy and burned the skin surface.
Wow!
“It stings a little, doesn’t it?”
In fact, it is not good for beauty.
If you keep using it, your skin dries out, and some doctors say that your skin feels tight and cracked.
In modern times, it would be dull.
Still, is there a reason?
There’s no way a lawmaker won’t do this.
And these spirit creatures….
‘They don’t like stinging things.’
When turning the flower generator, a faint stinging sensation remains, but animals do not like it.
After reviewing the history, Gongson-yeong also realized that something was unusual.
“Sister, change your clothes and wash up… ah. It will take a while for the main bath to be ready. “Let’s at least change clothes first.”
“hmm?”
“Let’s just do it.”
When Jin Tianxi said that, Gongsunyoung reluctantly changed his clothes.
Jin Cheon-hee held Gongsunyoung’s hand and turned the flower pot to disinfect it.
“Atta ta ta!”
“I did it a little harder. “It would be difficult if even a louse moved.”
“okay. okay.”
“So what did you find out? sister?”
In response to Jin Cheon-hee’s question, Gongson-yeong nodded and unpacked the bundle of stories.
“It’s nothing special… uh… First of all, the North Sea Ice Palace and White Tiger City were quite wealthy and well-off just 10 years ago. Even though they were poor, there were very few people who starved to death. That meant a large harvest of game and fish. “The land is volcanic and fertile.”
“okay.”
It’s hard to imagine what it looks like now.
She continued.
“But strangely enough, life has become increasingly difficult about 10 years ago. “Taxes went up quite a bit, and the people of White Tiger City began to be treated harshly little by little.”
“Oh really? Have yields or catches decreased?”
“That’s not right. “There is some reduction, but even so, it is not enough to create a slum like this.”
“There were no slums 10 years ago?”
“huh. They said there was none. “They say everyone lived similarly.”
“….”
Then someone came in.
“Um, are you talking?”
He is a prince.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“I asked the attendant to prepare a large bathhouse. “Please change your clothes first.”
“hmm?”
“Starting with clothes. And receive some rebirth prayers.”
In this way, the prince had his clothes changed and was forcibly sterilized without his knowledge.
Only after that was he able to listen to Gongsunyoung’s story and tell what he knew.
“I heard that the North Sea Ice Palace Lord became authoritarian about 10 years ago. Since I am a prince, I was an exception, and since my illness worsened, I rarely went out of the palace, so I didn’t know. “Even small mistakes were punished severely.”
“What if the punishment is severe…?”
“It’s the local way. “At midnight, I sprinkle cold water on the limbs and when they become numb from frostbite, I cut them off.”
“Hey!”
Gongsun Yong was greatly surprised.
“Of course, the placenta doesn’t freeze that cleanly and just freezes from the cold. Even if you survive, it’s a problem. “Shouldn’t we survive the winter without one of our limbs?”
“…It’s not just a flogging.”
“In the past, you were someone who didn’t even get flogged very often. I don’t know why it changed like this, but….”
“….”
Jin Cheon-hee was lost in thought for a while.
Soon, I asked various questions about the former palace lord and the current palace lord.
Then he asked:
“Perhaps it’s not possible to take a pulse?”
“You mean it could be a health problem?”
Jin Cheon-hee scratched her cheek at those words.
“There are many factors that can cause a person’s personality to change, but since they say he changed like a different person without any major incident, we might suspect a tumor or a sign of a stroke.”
“Well, maybe my personality just changed as I got older.”
“yes. you’re right. “It could be so.”
said the prince.
“If it’s not an illness, it’s just that there has been some change in Master’s disposition. It is said that people are beings that do not change easily, but it is also a problem that changes easily. Also, destruction techniques…”
“It’s prohibited in the Guardian Church, right?”
“I see.”
The reason why destruction was banned in the Kingdom of Aisha was because of the Guardian Church, and the Northern Sea Ice Palace also believes in the Guardian Church.
“There is no way they will allow it anyway. “That teacher.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
“First of all, I plan to go to the treatment center starting tomorrow. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think the director will do as I say.”
“hmm?”
“There is a cure, but first of all, you have to pay attention to cleanliness. Clean everything up. Either burn it all or something. one.”
Gongsunyoung said.
“It’s just a bird, but you don’t plan on leaving it alone?”
“Hahaha sister. I guarantee you that if you leave this alone for a month, it will come to the midfield. Are you sure you’ll be getting a lot of calls from your sister’s neighborhood? “If a civil war breaks out, it will spread even further.”
“Huh?”
“That’s always the case with epidemics. Now is always the best time to treat. If you leave it alone, it will only get worse. If you start dividing your area into my own area, we will all be ruined. “Are they covering the border or something?”
The prince, who had been listening to those words in silence, asked.
“How can I kill this?”
“First of all… I’m going to use something else instead until pesticides arrive from the party. “It won’t be effective enough.”
I said that first and then explained it one by one.
first.
performance.
Put the smoke from the burning herbs into the house and block the windows and doors.
Once that happens, the insects suffocate to death or some run away. This is something that must be done first.
second.
Pesticide.
Sprays poison that kills insects.
Although Danggaje is effective, it is not as eco-friendly and harmless as Hyundai. Still, it’s much better than living with one another.
They say that strong alcohol is also effective, but it can attract other bugs, so I wanted to avoid it as much as possible.
third.
This is basic.
Wash, boil, or burn your bedding or clothing.
This is an infectious disease that can be prevented from spreading just by doing these three things.
In fact, it can be easily ended if it is easier than cholera or typhoid fever. Because it’s not a drinking water issue.
“It’s so easy, right?”
But the prince sighed as if he was troubled.
“…It’s ruined.”
“I made a new request to Saint-Germain.”
“It doesn’t cost much money, so that’s enough to do it. And I will tell you that part specifically to my teacher. “It will be possible if the master, the palace lord, gives an order.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
While we were talking and talking, a servant came.
“The palace lord is calling!”
“It just so happened.”
So I got up.
* * *
After washing in the main bath, I refined my clothes and headed to meet the palace lord.
The Lord of the North Sea Ice Palace was sitting on something similar to a throne, just like the first time she saw him, and the saintess was standing quietly next to it.
And beneath the palace lord, there were people lined up in strong prayer.
That outfit was completely different from Kangho’s.
It was made of leather armor with chain armor on top.
The helmet was like a Viking helmet with leather lined on the inside.
‘It’s similar to a Norse Viking warrior.’
Although the North Sea Ice Palace uses Central Chinese, it was found that food, clothing, and shelter were greatly influenced by the Western Continent.
The palace lord said.
“Jin incinerator liquor. I thought about your suggestion. But I don’t trust you. The medical technique that treated the prince may be real. “That and this matter are separate.”
“….”
Jin Cheon-hee shows respect but does not reply.
Only the blue eyes are clear through the hair.
The palace lord continued speaking.
“Even if you are an honest person, wouldn’t it be possible that you were mistaken about the inaction of the Central Plains people in the first place?”
“….”
