This master craftsman could name more than fifty kinds of blue colors in one breath.
Among them, there are more than 70 kinds of grass used for dyeing blue materials.
"Your Majesty, we have better blue material this time.
At least five types of blue grass, two types of yellow grass, and a purple grass that is probably very good in color were found here."
Purple is a special color for nobles.
Purple silk, when sold to the Western Regions, is more than five times more expensive than ordinary or colorless silk.
Fortunately, the purple color in Qin is based on grass, while the purple color in Rome is based on shells.
King Qin was happy to hear this.
This was the first time he heard this.
He immediately ordered: "Come here, give each of the master craftsmen a bottle of new wine."
After everyone thanked them, another one said: "Your Majesty, this grass has wonderful effects.
Take indigo grass as an example.
The leaves of the indigo grass used in Qi State can be used to make indigo materials.
But for doctors like us, the roots are not useful."
It can cure wind and cold.”
"Oh, such a wonderful thing."
"Yes, the more we study the knowledge about this grass, the deeper it becomes.
We are already working hard to write a herbal classic.
At present, we have collected more than a thousand grasses, some of which can be used to make grass dyes and some of which can be used as medicinal materials. , and some are spices.
Today, there are herbs and fruits.”
"It's wonderful, it's very wonderful.
The date of the completion of the book is unknown.
When it was compiled, I didn't mention the reward.
But if you have any need, the Great Qin State Treasury will guarantee it for you and others."
A group of old men kept saying thank you excitedly.
Writing a book is a very hard job.
Now that we have paper, it is much easier than relying on bamboo carvings before.
We can sort out a large amount of information and put a lot of knowledge together, which is also very hard work.
When these masters of medicinal materials, grass dyeing, spices, etc. become too old to walk, they will join this compilation department.
They will compile a Cao Jing based on what they have learned throughout their lives.
Bai Hui has known about this for a long time.
Originally, Bai Hui thought that botany should be separated into several categories such as dyes, spices, and medicinal materials.
But then I thought about it, since it is a spontaneous research in this era, why do we need to add so many details?
It doesn’t matter, let future generations slowly improve it.
For the first time, King Qin sat beside Dahewei and other great craftsmen, chatting without any gaps.
King Qin finally learned.
Wherever these old men have walked, everything they have not seen must be dug out.
Even if you have seen them or know them, you still need to compare the differences between the north and the south.
After hearing the speeches of these old men, King Qin was very humble and asked in a tone of seeking advice: "Master craftsman, what I don't understand is how the grass in the mountains became a medicinal material."
"Your Majesty, the old man has gone to the mountains with his tribe to collect herbs since he was a child.
An elder in the tribe has said something, and the old man himself has also observed it."
"Tell me and listen."
"Your Majesty, there are wild boars in our Qinling Mountains.
After being injured, the wild boars will go looking for grass.
The mice that escaped death after being bitten by snakes will go to gnaw the mud.

The most amazing thing is that the beads in the mountains will look for earth dragons after being stung by bees.
Apply dung to wounds, this is the origin of ancestral herbal medicine.”
After hearing this, King Qin suddenly realized that this was the method.
King Qin asked again: "So now, we find many plants, trees and fruits here that we have never seen before.
How do we classify them?"
Immediately, a pharmacist came out to answer: "Your Majesty, after the Dahe Pharmacy Academy has compiled the books from the time of King Wu of Zhou to the present, our Dahe Pharmacy Academy in the Qin State has all the medicines that can be obtained at the moment except the Zhao State.
Medicine books.
There are people who specialize in sorting out these books.
I heard that the cost is huge, but this is not the responsibility of this young man. " "Praise" King Qin knew that Bai Hui's Yiyang and Yichuan spent money like water, and some of them were only reported to the Jiu Qing of Qin.
The Qin Palace recorded them in secret records and were not known to ordinary people.
The medicine man continued: "Your Majesty, after sorting it out, many books have been initially compiled into volumes.
Although we are not very literate, we also listen to lectures and learn from them in our spare time."
"Study, learn."
"Your Majesty, there are three methods in Dahe Medicine Academy.
The first is to imitate the God of Medicine and taste the herbs.
But this recipe is the last try.
Before that, we first made inferences based on the growth habits around the herbs, and then based on the rabbit , try it with the dog, and then try it yourself.”
When the old medicine man said this, he looked proud.
These pharmacists have all suffered greatly.
Even if some medicinal herbs are not poisonous to death, they are very uncomfortable and can make people die.
These pharmacists have all contributed to the research of medicinal materials and risked their lives.
The King of Qin stood up, raised his body and saluted: "I represent the world, and I would like to thank all the elders."
The pharmacists quickly knelt down and returned the gift: "I used myself to test the medicine to benefit the common people."
As pharmacists, they all have to worship the Medicine King God.
Legend has it that the Medicine King God died after tasting medicine.
These medicine makers are not afraid of death.
They are only afraid of being unknown in their lives.
Many people were originally ordinary herb collectors, and Bai Hui's new measures benefited them.
It is not only affluence in life, but also an improvement in status.
Every great pharmacist enjoys at least the enshrinement of the ninth rank of the Qin State, and his descendants will be blessed.
Being able to leave their names in the pharmacopoeia is the only pursuit of these old pharmacists at the moment.
They have the heritage of the River Guards.
No matter where you go, you can only miss something that cannot be discovered.
You don’t have to know it, you don’t have to understand it, but you must have a sample left.
If you don’t understand it, it doesn’t mean that a few people, a dozen people, or dozens of people will study it together, and you won’t be afraid of not being able to find the medicinal properties of the herb.
Bai Hui knows the suffering of these people.
For ancient pharmacists who did not have chemical means, it was not easy to find the medicinal properties of medicinal materials.
It is one thing to test the medicine yourself, and sometimes there are many people testing the medicine.
When they get sick, there are new medicinal materials that they can try out, and they are treated for free, or even for free.
It is not certain whether they will die, but they will definitely suffer.
The condition gets worse, the medicine doesn't work, or you feel strangely uncomfortable or something.
The most medicinal materials are accumulated.
In addition to great tonic and extremely beneficial medicines, many medicines used for diseases are toxic.
Compared with medicine makers, grass-dyed craftsmen are much luckier.
At most, they can't find the right color.

The amount of dye produced by grass is small, the color is poor, etc.
Of course, in the deep mountains and old forests, the damage caused by ferocious beasts and poisonous insects is equivalent.
Let’s talk about another campsite, the one close to the boat parking area.
Qu Yuan was left here, and this time Bai Hui brought Wen Luo out specifically to keep an eye on Qu Yuan.
In the tent, all kinds of food are naturally good, and of course there is a crocodile leg.
"I've never seen meat like this before."
Wen Luo replied from the side: "It is said to be an earth dragon, one foot long, with thick skin and sharp claws, and is difficult to defeat with swords.
We don't have much water on the ship, so we will temporarily stop the ship for a few days.
An expedition team will be responsible for looking for water sources.
The medicine man and the herb The dyers were impatient and wanted to see if there were any flowers and plants they had never seen before
