Chapter 576 Ginseng Planting
The two parties signed an agreement. Under the strong request of Japan, it was not made public. East Africa is very clear about the Japanese thoughts, that is, they are evil-minded, but as long as East Africa manages Southern Ryukyu well If Japan wants to take away the islands, it will have to pay the price.
……
Hohenzollern Province.
Although East Africa is reluctant to develop the pharmaceutical industry, it still tries its best to develop traditional Chinese medicine based on its own characteristics and advantages, or to reduce the cost of traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
This is a topic about free prostitution. The West pays attention to patents, but the Far East does not have this statement. Of course, we cannot say that the doctors in the Far East are generous. Many of these skills are spread through families and apprenticeships. In fact, it is quite selfish, and There is a risk of being lost. Of course, it is understandable. After all, it is the craft of eating.
And the Far East may not necessarily attach much importance to the development of medicine. This can be seen from the social status. Doctors and lawyers were very important professions in the United States in the previous life, but both of them were money-hungry industries.
Medicine in the 19th century focused on the idea that one's destiny is determined by one's own destiny. Ernst could not be reassured by its efficacy, so he paid great attention to health issues and tried to reduce the risk of illness.
At present, East African medicine and modern medicine need to be driven by a founder, or a complete system can form spontaneously, or it can be promoted by advanced equipment and new methods, and the above three conditions are all in East Africa. Not available.
While the traditional Chinese medicine system is relatively mature, breakthroughs in new Chinese medicine cannot be accomplished in a day or two, nor can it have any significant impact on the current medical system in East Africa.
Therefore, East Africa can only vigorously develop the cultivation of medicinal materials based on traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. No matter which ancient medical system it is, it is inseparable from the support of medicinal materials. This is also the case in East Africa now.
In this era, Europeans and Americans have no interest in Chinese medicine, so they directly demonize Chinese medicine. Japan is on the road of "departing from Asia and joining Europe", so no one except East Africa has a wrong idea about Chinese medicine. The Far Eastern Empire is also very insensitive in this regard.
After all, Europe and the United States look down upon it, so much so that they themselves have some doubts about their own traditional industries. Many formal Chinese medicine practitioners are increasingly being questioned.
When it comes to free Chinese herbal medicine, although there is no patent in the Far East, growing Chinese herbal medicine is a technical activity, and most of the Chinese herbal medicine needs to be imported from East Africa from the Far East.
Chinese herbal medicine is mainly based on grass. Although East Africa has a tropical grassland climate and there are many types of grass, the level of development of medicinal herbs by Africans is very low.
Therefore, the native medicinal herbs of East Africa mainly use the original Arab medicine in Africa as the entry point, inheriting and absorbing the medical traditions of the Swahili people and the Arabs on the southern edge of the northern Sahara Desert.
Black people actually have their own witch doctor system, but the black power that has been completely controlled by East Africa has naturally declared its witch doctor system extinct. Although black people exist, African witch doctors are different, even the most backward Knowledge barriers also exist in Africa.
Before the colonization of East Africa, the original black power in East Africa was not very developed. The same was naturally true for medicine, and it must be tied to the theory of ghosts and gods.
This makes curing a disease a metaphysical issue. If it is cured, it means that the gods have not given up on its people. If it cannot be cured, it means that the heart is not pious enough, so it is abandoned by the gods. This also solves the problem of medical treatment. troublesome problem.
Even if the death is really caused by a treatment error, the ruling class has shifted the responsibility to the gods. The problem is that your heart is impure and has nothing to do with your own treatment.
African witch doctors belong to the ruling class, because most of these so-called doctors are tribal chiefs, priests or other high-level officials.
Of course, this kind of deceptive method also requires technical content. Ghosts and gods cannot always take the blame, and lies will one day be exposed.
This witch doctor system generally does more harm than good to East Africa, because it is still in the stage of primitive society and the version is too backward. The most mature traditional medicine is Far Eastern medicine and Arabic medicine. One is that it has been passed down for a long time and is becoming more and more complete. The other is that it occupies a convenient location and the intersection of east and west, so it can combine the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.
East Africa has chosen traditional Chinese medicine, so it is natural to use Chinese medicinal materials. However, most of the growing environment of Chinese medicinal materials is not available in East Africa, or there is no way to promote it at the moment, so it requires a large amount of money to be imported from the Far East. It is imported, but it is much cheaper than many Western medicines with unknown side effects.
However, the effect of trial planting and promotion of Chinese herbal medicine in East Africa is not obvious, especially for some commonly used medicinal materials, such as Tiger Balm and ginseng.
The Hohenzollern Province is one of the trial planting bases for ginseng, mainly in the shady river valleys.
“This kind of ginseng grown in Sanin can indeed mature, but I don’t know how the quality and efficacy compare with the Far Eastern Empire?”
“Currently we have screened ginseng from four places across the country. From the perspective of finished product, Hessian ginseng grows best, is the largest, and is most in line with the characteristics of Far Eastern ginseng. Of course, we still need to further observe the specific efficacy, and more samples and clinical trials are needed. "< br>
“Hesse Province mainly relies on mountainous terrain. Although the finished products grown are of excellent quality, they are not suitable for large-scale promotion. I think we should try planting in the South African Plateau in the southernmost part of East Africa.”
"Kyles, what do you think?"
"I mainly think about it from the perspective of lighting. I heard that the most suitable area for ginseng planting in the Far East is at a relatively high latitude, and our highest latitude in East Africa is the south. The three provinces are already subtropical.”
“You take it for granted. Although the temperature of the South African plateau is suitable, it does not meet the characteristics of humidity. , and ginseng likes a humid environment.”
“Of course I know this, so I suggest choosing the location in the former Kingdom of Swaziland, where precipitation should be relatively abundant and the area is relatively large. Platform.”
“But many of us have never been to Swaziland, so we don’t know if what you said is true.”
"Of course, you don't understand me, so what's the point of lying to you? Now Swaziland is a prefecture-level city, and the indigenous population has basically been relocated. The population is very small, but there are troops stationed around it. Guard against the Portuguese, so there is absolutely no problem with safety."
"Well, Kells, how about leaving this task to you? You take a team to Swaziland to test it first, and then report the results. "Dean, I can't do it. It's not like you don't understand me. Although I like plants, my cultural level is limited. It's definitely not possible for me to lead the team unless you bring Mar." Sipai will be my assistant."
Mars said with a smile: "If I go to Swaziland, the team leader will be me. How can it be your turn? And I will pass. We have to go to Hesse Province for inspection in a few days, so the task still falls on you.”
“But I’m really inexperienced!”
Dean: "Kyles, don't worry. In fact, you just need to do what you do here every day in Swaziland. That's it. There will be a new intern in the future. When the time comes, I will send him to you. He has studied in Europe. With his help, I believe you will have no problem!"
Kyles said helplessly: "That's all."
