Dugu Jiu's footsteps are very fast, in the middle of the night, the matter has been ascertained, early in the morning, Hou Junji and Dugu Jiu came over together, although Hou Junji said that he is now the secretary of the military department, but his success as the secretary of the military department is obviously not as good as Li Jing's time to be the secretary of the military department. Li Shimin will promote him, in large part because of his loyalty.

The older generation of generals are all old, and the military of the Tang Dynasty needs a leading figure, in comparison, Li Ji is obviously more suitable, but Li Ji chose neutrality when the Xuanwumen incident occurred, which made Li Shimin doubt his loyalty, and Hou Junji as Li Shimin's ' Captain of the guard', in terms of loyalty, Li Shimin is trusted, so Li Shimin promoted him to be the secretary of the military department, he is the general of Tiance, the best general in the world, he naturally knows Hou Junji's defects, but he thinks that this defect can be made up, so he not only often discusses the way of using troops with Hou Junji, but even asks Li Jing to personally teach Hou Junji the art of war.

But unfortunately, facts have proved that Li Shimin is likely to have lost his eyes this time. Hou Junji can be described as a fierce general, but he is really not a handsome talent. Li Jing taught him the art of war, but he felt that Li Jing did not teach him sincerely, but went to Li Shimin to make a small report. And Li Shimin discussed with him the way to use soldiers, and he didn't think there was anything unusual, thinking that Li Shimin would know what he would, and he would do it, so when he listened, he might not be so serious.

Li Shimin chose him to be the secretary of the military department, which was originally meant to be cultivated. But he misunderstood what Li Shimin meant, and regarded this military department book as an affirmation. thinks that it is because of his own excellence that he got the position of the secretary of the military department.

When leading the army and employing troops, there was no improvement compared with before, and it was still the same as when he was the 'captain of the guard' by Li Shimin's side.

If Dugu Jiu hadn't come to the door, he wouldn't have noticed that the big belly disease in the camp had quietly become prevalent. After listening to Dugu Jiu, he realized the seriousness of the problem, so he didn't think about it when he slept, and hurried to Li Mu to discuss a solution.

Li Mu also didn't sleep much all night, this matter was too big, and there were too many involved. In addition to all factors, the lives of 20,000 soldiers cannot be taken seriously by Li Mu.

Hou Junji originally wanted to complain about the barracks, but when he saw Li Mu's bloodshot eyes, he couldn't say anything to his mouth. The two glanced at each other, but Li Mu said, "General, let's settle the matter first, how many patients are there in the camp?" ”

"After checking overnight, there are about fifty or sixty people." Hou Junji was a little ashamed, as a general, there were already fifty or sixty people in the army who were sick, and he didn't know anything about it, and he didn't wronged him at all.

Li Mu did not mention this stubble, but said; "Now the first thing is to separate these sick people from those who are not sick. In addition, this disease is caused by the water source, you can no longer take water from the ditch, don't be too troublesome, dig a well, before the well is built, transport water to drink, or boil the water before drinking, never drink the raw water in the river again. ”

Hou Junji listened stunned, and found that he couldn't remember so many items, so he said repeatedly: "Write it down, I'll go back and do it." You said it so fast, I'm afraid I won't remember. ”

Li Mu had already prepared, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over, and said, "I wrote it last night, the general can refer to it to see if there is anything missing." ”

"If you still have anything to worry about, just do it." Hou Junji took it and put it in his arms, he also had his own eyes, this is the charter given by Li Mu, he did it all, if something went wrong, Li Mu was also responsible, although he was responsible, he also accounted for a small head.

Li Mu knows his mind well, but he doesn't care, just get things done now, after thinking about it yesterday, he has smoothed out his thoughts, and the big belly disease is not uncontrollable, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"In order to prevent the epidemic from spreading, I decided to stop the construction of Mingzhou Port first, mobilize all the material forces, and build a hospital."

"Hospital?" Hou Junji was a little confused, he hadn't heard this word, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and he said, "Is it similar to the medical hall of Liu Shenwei in Chang'an City?" Last year, my child's illness was diagnosed and treated in his hospital. ”

"It's pretty much the same, but it's different. Hospitals have more people and more doctors than hospitals. I ask the general to send 2,000 sturdy soldiers to help, and I will personally supervise the work, and strive to build this hospital within half a month. ”

Hearing Li Mu say that he personally supervised the work, Hou Junji completely realized the importance. He knew that Li Mu had not personally supervised the construction of the project for a long time, and the fact that he could make an exception was enough to show that this matter was urgent and very important.

Hou Junji also said with a straight face: "Don't worry, two thousand people, when I return to the camp, I will prepare it for you immediately." ”

Li Mu said to Dugu Jiu again: "Go to Wang Rui and ask him to transport all the cement produced to me immediately, and not a single bag is allowed to be kept." All other places will be put away first, and all resources will be placed on the hospital's side. In addition, in the name of the Jiangnan Governor's Office, I will post a notice to recruit all famous doctors in Jiangnan, and those who fail to arrive when they see the notice will be punished for the crime of delaying the military aircraft. ”

Dugu Jiu took the order and left, Hou Junji also got up, and Li Mu sent the two to the door. He also wrote a flying pigeon biography and sent it to Luoyang, transferring Gongsun Kang, who was building the road. Although he said that he personally supervised the work, he still had to deal with other things, and he could not stay on the construction site in every detail. It also needs an experienced, veteran, and most importantly someone who can understand his intentions, so that the hospital can be built with confidence.

……

In the evening of the same day, 2,000 soldiers were in place.

On the second day, 2,000 soldiers went into the mountains to cut wood, and Li Mu set the address of the first hospital in Jiangnan between Mingzhou Port and Yangzhou Port. Wang Tong and more than 20 doctors in Yangzhou City were urgently requisitioned by Li Mu to be responsible for boiling medicines to prevent potty belly disease and distributing them to the soldiers of the battalion.

The resettlement villages that did not fall ill also sent doctors to station, and in accordance with the regulations he stipulated, the resettlement villages began to eradicate snails.

On the third day, the cement transportation was in place. Wang Rui also brought 20 bricklayers to support Li Mu's construction project. The rest of the families are also preparing, each wang family, the family will raise some craftsmen, this time seeing that Li Mu personally supervised the work, they didn't dare to hide their secrets, under the leadership of Wang Rui, this family of ten, that family of ten rushed to the construction site to report.

On the fourth day, timber was gradually transported from the mountains, and all the blacksmiths in Yangzhou were requisitioned to build pipes that they did not know what to do.

On the fifth day, Li Mu finally finished drawing the drawings of the hospital, and the construction project officially began.

At the beginning of the project, all the craftsmen involved were a little confused. What they were confused about was that this project was different from the buildings they had participated in before. When laying the foundation, there is already a big difference, in addition to the normal piling, ground beams, etc., all kinds of pipes that do not know what to do are pre-buried. And for most people, building a house with cement is also the first time in their lives, so when they first get started, the progress is a little slow.

Although Li Mu was in a hurry, he also knew that it was not a matter of urgency. Moreover, building with cement, there is also a disadvantage that once the cement construction is formed, if it is wrong, the cost of rebuilding is very large, and after the cement is solidified, in the absence of heavy machinery, it is very difficult to shake it by manpower alone. So you can't be in a hurry, because being in a hurry means making a mistake.

Li Mu was patient and explained to all the small foremen how to construct, and after two or three days, his patience was basically exhausted. Fortunately, just when Li Mu almost broke out, Gongsun Kang finally arrived. As one of the few people in the world who can understand Li Mu's drawings, Gongsun Kang took over the work of supervising the work, which can be regarded as liberating Li Mu.

This time to build the first hospital in Jiangnan, Li Mu made a bloody investment. In addition to the cement brick house, which is very different from the traditional wooden structure, Jiangnan First Hospital also extravagantly uses an easy-to-flush concrete floor and a strictly separate water supply, drainage, and sewerage system. The various buried pipelines alone consume an unknown amount of wrought iron. Hou Junji watched a pain in his flesh, Wang Rui's steel factory, before it opened for business, all the production capacity had been rounded.

In addition to these pre-buried pipes, a boiler system that supplies hot water all day can also be expensive. In order to conduct heat faster, Li Mu even used copper, and countless copper coins were melted and made into pipes and heaters, which made people worry that after these things were put into use, they would not be stolen directly by people who saw the money.

After Gongsun Kang took over Li Mu's baton, Li Mu finally had time to deal with the doctors who were recruited to come over.

No matter what the era, doctors are respected people. After all, nothing is more important than life, Li Mu's rude conscription order caused the doctors to be collectively dissatisfied, but Li Mu is in power, unless Li Shimin gives an order, otherwise in the territory of Jiangnan, Li Mu's words are like a holy decree, and disobedience will really be beheaded.

Li Mu screened the doctors who were recruited. The people who sold dog meat in sheepskins were ruthlessly expelled by him. For the rest of those who have real skills, he has assigned different departments according to the different medical skills that each person is good at. There are departments of surgery, internal medicine, orthopedics, etc., as well as infectious diseases departments for the treatment of infectious patients, as well as specialized epidemic prevention departments.

These doctors, whether they wanted to or not, were forced by Li Mu to sign a one-year contract. If you really don't want to, you can take the money and leave after a year, but in this first year, whether you want to or not, you have to work in Jiangnan First Hospital.

This kind of compulsion naturally aroused dissatisfaction, but after seeing the remuneration given by Li Mu, these dissatisfaction were almost gone. Without him, there is too much to give.

Everyone's salary is different. But there is one thing that is unified, that is, the price offered by Li Mu is basically about three times their original annual income. At this price, unless you want to go against it, there is no reason to refuse.

Li Mu is powerful, and there are very few people who are determined to oppose him. If there is, he doesn't mind crushing it either. He doesn't care if he usually laughs and laughs, when he is doing business, who dares to drag his feet is definitely a thorn in his eye.

Human life is at stake, how can it be joked?

Facts have proved that such a huge action by Li Mu is definitely not alarmist. Halfway through the construction of the hospital, cases of potbelly disease began to be reported in nearby counties centered on Yangzhou. Although it is not much, it has accumulated more than 1,000 cases.

Where there were case reports, Li Mu clicked a point on the map, and when all the points were finished, he was shocked to find that almost all the villages and towns near Yangzhou and Mingzhou Port, where the water system was connected, were not spared.

If you don't prepare, these dots are likely to be connected. During the period of chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, similar things did not happen in Jiangnan. It's just that the tragic situation of that year was covered up by the tragic situation brought about by the war. Now that the world is peaceful, if hundreds or thousands of people die violently, it will cause an uproar, and I dare not think about it.

Without further ado, when Jiangnan First Hospital only built a conference room, Li Mu summoned all the doctors from the internal medicine department to tell them about the cause of big belly disease.

Yes, all the famous doctors in Jiangnan gathered in one place to listen to Li Mu, a layman, talk about the cause.

How ridiculous it is, but no one dares to say. Who made Li Mu the Hou Ye, the governor of Jiangnan, holding the sword of Shang Fang? This time to build the first hospital in Jiangnan, Li Mu made a bloody investment. In addition to the cement brick house, which is very different from the traditional wooden structure, Jiangnan First Hospital also extravagantly uses an easy-to-flush concrete floor and a strictly separate water supply, drainage, and sewerage system. The various buried pipelines alone consume an unknown amount of wrought iron. Hou Junji watched a pain in his flesh, Wang Rui's steel factory, before it opened for business, all the production capacity had been rounded.

Li Mu screened the doctors who were recruited. The people who sold dog meat in sheepskins were ruthlessly expelled by him. For the rest of those who have real skills, he gave different koasa asadas according to the different medical skills that each person is good at
