Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Marriage
Dean Philip could not refuse Constantine's proposal. It has to be said that for doctors, the body is really tempting.
Because of professional habits, driven by the thirst for knowledge, before the Renaissance, many doctors were tried and burned to death by the church in the name of heresy because of the "bad habit" of dissecting corpses.
Now Constantine promised to help contact the Athens prison and provide the corpses of the prisoners in the Athens City Hospital, which made Philip very excited.
Seeing Philip sitting in an office chair, lost in thought, Constantine was not in a hurry to urge.
After a long time, Philip finally had a reaction.
"Your Excellency, can you tell me about the source of your medicine? You said it has the effect of treating malaria. Can you tell me how you learned about it," Philip asked.
Seeing Philip's attitude loosened, Constantine naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
It's just that Constantine can't say that artemisinin is a special medicine for malaria from later generations.
In order to increase some persuasiveness, we can only fabricate a plausible and possible story.
"That's it. I heard a sailor who had been on the Eastern Route before said that the doctor of Huaxia had used a herbal medicine to treat malaria, which was very effective."
This is actually Constantine, based on the story of Cinchona bark being seen by missionaries as being able to cure malaria.
But after Philip heard this statement, he finally didn't resist as before.
Reminiscing about the origin of quinine, Philip also felt that the idea that the green liquid in Constantine's hands can treat malaria does not seem to be completely impossible.
In Philip's eyes, this story finally made Constantine's behavior less ridiculous.
"I can help you verify the effect of this herb, but you must help our hospital get the corpses of the prisoners in the Athens prison."
"I know the warden of the Athens prison, this is no problem," Constantine readily agreed.
Philip took the glass bottle in Constantine's hand, looked at the green liquid in it, opened it, and smelled it. The strong smell of alcohol stimulated him to frown.
"You used ethanol to extract a certain kind of herbal medicine. There is a mixture of medicine and ethanol in this glass bottle, right?"
Worthy of being a professional, even though it was just a glance, Philip had already guessed it all.
Immediately afterwards, Constantine told Philip his experience of operation.
Of course, the key Artemisia annua was replaced by some kind of herbal medicine.
Although this Philip was not like a greedy and cunning man, Constantine did not want to experiment with the philosophical question of whether money or morality is more reliable.
Seeing this, Philip felt even more confident. Although Constantine's experimental request was a bit abrupt, at least it did not violate scientific common sense.
"In this way, we will heat it. The boiling point of ethanol is low. After being heated, it will evaporate, and the herbal ingredients in it will be precipitated. Then you can get the medicine you said. This idea is okay," Philip asked.
"No problem, that's the idea," Constantine nodded and agreed.
"Then the dosage of a single patient, what side effects will there be after taking it, do you have any suggestions for these key issues, does the Eastern sailor have any suggestions?" Philip asked with a serious face.
"As far as I know, this herb does not have any serious side effects, and may have mild nausea, vomiting and diarrhea," Constantine recalled the information about artemisinin in his mind and returned.
"As for the dosage issue, I don't know this, otherwise I won't use it to test with you."
Synthesizing Constantine's answer, Philip pondered for a long time, and said: "If the experiment goes well, the whole process will be divided into three steps. The first step is to conduct a control experiment with eight patients with mild malaria, two taking quinine and two taking quinine. For the experimental drugs, four people will make a comparative observation and will not take any drugs for the time being. If there is no effect, the subsequent experiments will not be carried out. How about?"
The first experiment is to observe whether the drug is effective or not. For the safety of the patient, only patients with mild malaria can be selected.
Constantine agreed to the experiment, and Dean Philip chose several doctors as assistants to prepare for the experiment.
······
Constantine, who returned to the Tatoy Palace to wait for the news of the experiment, saw the butler of Cape coming to report the news.
"Your Excellency, during your absence, the little Costebro from Alfa Bank has come and sent a cheque." As he said, Capet handed a cheque in his hand to Constantine.
Seeing the £500,000 figure on the cheque, I sighed that the richest person is the banker.
"Did he ask for anything?" Constantine asked.
"No, I just said that I supported your African adventure, and then I left. I also said that I will visit the Lord Duke again another day," the butler of Cape said with a bewildered look.
Hearing this, Constantine admired the story of the Costebro family.
The courage is extraordinary, such a huge sum of 500,000 pounds, give it as you say it, not even a request, and I am not afraid of being lost.
"I see, is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty the King and Queen are now waiting for you in the living room," said the cape butler.
After hearing the news, Constantine came to the living room in the Tatoy Palace and saw Queen Olga and King George sitting on the sofa chatting.
"How was the hunt yesterday? Did you catch any prey?" Queen Olga asked Constantine with concern.
"Of course, we caught a red fox, everyone had a good time."
"That's really good news," Olga said after hearing it.
After that, he glanced at his husband George and nodded to him.
"Constantine, you have completed your studies at the Athens Military Academy. I have discussed with your mother and plan to let you go to Heidelberg or Leipzig University to study political science and command the army officers. You know, the Germans The school is still very good, especially their army officer education."
King George I watched Constantine's reaction, and when he saw that he had no objections, he was determined.
"Furthermore..." Having said this, he pondered for a long time.
Seeing her husband's hesitation, she seemed to hesitate, but Constantine's mother, Queen Olga, took the conversation and continued: "You are almost reaching adulthood, Constantine, it's time to think about your marriage. event."
"You should be very clear that the Greek people have high hopes for you. As the crown prince of Greece, you will become the king of the Greeks in the future, not an ordinary person, so your marriage will also receive special attention."
Constantine was very surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the queen and the king were already considering his marriage.
European royal families have the habit of intermarriage with each other, and almost all royal families in various countries have relatives, and political marriages are prevalent.
The marriage of royal family members is not only a personal matter, it is also closely related to national interests, which determines that behind the marriage of royal family members, national interests must be considered.
