How powerful is Heniantang? Ding Henian, a health care master, was born in the Yuan Dynasty and was proficient in the Chinese medicine and health care for generations. His grandfather, Lao Ding, was famous in Dadu for "good medicinal food, good medicine and food, and health soup Changle Drink".

Ding Henian inherited his family tradition and deeply learned the essence of Hui Han medicine and the true meaning of health preservation, creating the Health Preservation Henian Hall.

Heniantang has always had a close relationship with the Ming Dynasty. From Jiajing to Wanli, Heniantang is no longer just a Chinese medicine shop. Yan Song, the first counselor of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Jisheng, the anti-Japanese hero Qi Jiguang, the medical saint Li Shizhen, and the famous doctor Zhang Jingyue have all had interactions with Heniantang.

At this time, the shopkeeper of Heniantang was surnamed Cao, and he was still a little surprised by Zhu Cilang's arrival. He heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came specifically for the plague in the capital, and Manager Cao was immediately excited.

"Your Highness, a few guys in the small shop have sent medicine to Chongwenmen and Dongsi Pailou to the sick victims. The plagues in these two places are the most serious. We sent six guys to stay there for seven days. But when we came back, none of them got sick. I think this nectar drink has the effect of preventing plague."

Zhu Cixuan was overjoyed: "In this way, is this nectar drink effective in preventing and controlling plague?"

Manager Cao nodded: "It's probably like this, but the villain dares not make sure he is safe. But when you think about it carefully, this medicine is useful. The shopkeepers often drink it."

"Is it difficult to prepare a prescription for your nectar drink?" This is what Zhu Cilang is most worried about.

Manager Cao thought for a while and smiled: "Your Highness, the prince, the villain dares not lie. This soup is all ordinary herbs, and there are some outside our capital. The more inconspicuous weeds, the more useful it is. Except for two or three of them, other herbs are ordinary, otherwise the shop would have lost their pants and closed the door long ago."

Zhu Cilang was very satisfied: "Okay, from now on, the nectar drink from your Heniantang will be taken over by the court. You will provide the recipe for the medicine and the court will purchase the raw materials."

"Have a moment, your highness." Manager Cao was in a hurry and after that, he went to the counter to rummage the boxes. After a while, he took out a yellowed prescription from an old wooden box. He held it in his hands and sent it to Zhu Cixuan as if he had received a treasure: "Your Highness, please see, this is the grass recipe for the nectar drink in the small shop."

Zhu Cixuan opened it and was shocked. He looked at Cao Fang over and over again: "Are you sure?"

Manager Cao respectfully gave a respectful gift: "This kind of medicine is prepared for the people outside the shop."

The grass recipe on this is really strange. It is actually a weed everywhere in the suburbs. With a few ordinary herbs, as Manager Cao said. If the decoction is expensive and it will last for hundreds of years to deliver medicine to the people of Beijing for free, their Henian Hall will have to close.

This is the first time Zhu Cilang heard that weeds can prevent and control plague. However, they can cook a large jar of herbs every day and distribute them to the people for more than 200 years. This shows their kindness.

In fact, weeds can prevent and control plague. Moreover, this grass is very common, and they are everywhere in the fields. This weed is tenacious and destructive to crops. It is the weed that farmers hate the most.

This grass is beef tendon grass, with very developed roots. Only by pulling them out of the roots, otherwise they will be killed endlessly. They grow in the fields and are everywhere. They like to compete for sunshine and water in the fields, which is harmful to the crops.

But such weeds have miraculous effects on preventing and controlling plagues. It is said that the first person to discover the magic of this herb was the local farmers.

It is said that a farmer's donkey was sick, and the donkey who had a fever was dying. Later, the farmer saw that the donkey ate this kind of beef tendon grass and miraculously recovered.

Later, farmers discovered that once someone had a burn, boiling the beef tendon grass in water could cure the disease.

Once a plague occurs, the people will look for this kind of beef tendon grass to boil water. The entire plant of beef tendon grass can be used as medicine and can also treat encephalitis.

In addition to beef tendon grass, there is also mugwort. Chinese herbal medicines are all adapted to local conditions, and mugwort, as the founder of the fight against the epidemic, also contributes to it. Malmeat is an antiviral and antibacterial drug, especially for respiratory diseases.

In addition to a few of the common herbs, such as wild chrysanthemum honeysuckle, there is also a donkey-eared vegetable, which is the soul-returning grass. These herbs have a good effect in preventing and controlling plagues.

Since Zhu Cixuan, as the main person in charge of epidemic prevention, he has fully mobilized all the power that can be used in Beijing.

All soldiers from the three major camps were isolated and no one was allowed to leave the military camp without permission. Because once the epidemic spreads, the defenses in the Gyeonggi will be scrapped.

Some historians insist on another point of view, that is, why Huang Taiji could not conquer the city of Beijing. Li Zicheng came and fought it down with almost no effort.

You should know that Beijing City has the most powerful defense in the world. The inner city of the outer city is guarded by the city. As long as you defend the city wall, even if the outer city is lost, you will stick to the inner city. Wait for the royal army from all over the country to head north, Li Zicheng will undoubtedly fail.

There is a view that in the 16th year of Chongzhen, an extremely serious plague broke out in the capital, which caused the soldiers guarding the capital to get sick one after another, causing the entire capital to be killed and injured.

"History of Ming Dynasty·Five Elements" records that in the 16th year of Chongzhen, "the capital was in great epidemic, from February to September". Luo Yangxing supervised military affairs in Tianjin, and mentioned the major epidemic in Beijing in the 16th year of Chongzhen: the capital was plague last year, and the death pillow was lost...

Originally, there were 100,000 troops stationed in Beijing, but less than half of them remained after the plague. When Li Zicheng came, there were not many people. The huge Beijing city became a town that was almost unprepared.

Facing the rebels coming, the city guards could not get together even 10,000. The city guards were "shouldered in a dove" and "whipped one person up and the other person lie down". It was not that they were unpatriotic, but that they were really sick and had no strength. Only one person was on average for every five battlements.

Therefore, the three camps must not move. While the plague has not yet been rampant, Zhu Cilang must extinguish them in the bud.

The Xishan Glass Factory was forced to stop production, and the lime was originally pulled into the capital by trucks. Lime was spread all over the streets of the capital, especially the gathering places of refugees, and lime was sterilized.

Limestone calcined into quicklime is the best raw material for disinfection. The palace is stricter, and Zhu Cixuan ordered several souvenir workshops in the capital, like Luoshan County, to brew one of the few alcohols.

Every time he returned to the palace, Zhu Cilang ordered people around him to spray alcohol on his hands to disinfect. Including the concubines, eunuchs, palace maids, and even Emperor Chongzhen himself, he had to spray alcohol on his hands under the service of the eunuch early in the morning every morning.

When Luoshan County, when Langzhong Qin learned about the plague in the capital, he kept preparing to go north. Hongniang prepared the best carriage for him and sent a few subordinates to escort him.
