Chapter 651: Common Sense
In mid-April, a booklet led by Heifu's outline, Chen Wuyi, and the military Chinese medicine practitioners brainstormed and supplemented the details and medical theories, and put it in front of Heifu's case.
The beginning of the book is similar to the "Questions and Answers on the Law" that every civil servant in the Qin Dynasty read, starting with a conversation in which any schistosomiasis patient up his ears.
"Question: Someone suffers from a swollen abdomen, a large abdomen, thin limbs, and a belly as hard as a stone. Small labor foot shin swelling, small diet and shortness of breath, this lifelong disease can not be treated, patients are not in their forties to die, what is this disease? ”
"Said: The name of the disease is Shui Gu."
"Question: What is a Water Gu?"
"Said: Gu person, there is a worm in the abdomen. Nanjun, Changsha, Hengshan, Yuzhang have poisonous insects, the summer moon is in the water, its insects are very fine and invisible, people enter the water bath and wade and walk, this insect is attached to the body, and it burrows into the skin......"
In short, the Q&A began with what schistosomiasis is, and used more than a dozen questions to describe the causes of the disease, the symptoms of the disease, and the fatal circumstances in an easy-to-understand manner.
Then he began to analyze the cause of the disease, explaining that the poisonous insect is mainly spread with human and animal feces, so the government requires the people not to defecate in the open, not to wash the dung bucket in the water source, and it is best to mix the feces with urine and make compost. They should also stop drinking unclean raw water and restrain their children from swimming in the infested water.
In short, it is not that Qin officials have nothing to do and care about the head of Qian's shit and fart, but so that they will not be harmed by poisonous insects.
Heifu turned from beginning to end, nodding constantly, sometimes laughing, and smiled at Chen Wuyi:
"Good drawing."
There are also some rough drawings depicting the process of schistosomiasis parasitizing the human body, which is said to have been written by Chen Wuji. It's a pity that Heifu can't build a microscope for the time being, and Chen Wuyi is still skeptical of his statement.
But it doesn't matter, this pamphlet at least explains the "swollen" disease that has plagued southerners for countless generations, and also gives methods of prevention and treatment, indicating that all the decrees issued by the government are for the good of the Qianshou, and I hope that they will obediently follow it for the sake of their own lives and safety.
According to Heifu's proposal, he also scared at the end: If you don't pay attention again, the leaders of Qian, from old to young, will all suffer from the disease of water Gu, be harmed by Gu insects, and finally lose their children and grandchildren......
Cutting off children and grandchildren, this is the most terrible curse for the Chinese, when it comes to this, no matter how big the heart is, the fool should be frightened, even if it is not for himself, but also for the clan, for the descendants.
Chen Wuji was very optimistic about this, believing that the government would send this pamphlet to Lilu, so that Lizheng and Tian Dian would teach it, and it would definitely be able to reverse the current situation, he said with a smile:
"I'm worried that after learning the truth, no one will dare to go into the water and fields."
Heifu shook his head: "Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, the ignorance of some Qianshou is far beyond your imagination, in my opinion, it is better to be afraid than to know nothing." ”
This booklet, Heifu was influenced by the historical "Barefoot Doctor's Textbook", it is a southern edition, dark green cover, a lot of content for schistosomiasis, is a popular bestseller in the country at that time, almost everyone in the barefoot doctor everywhere has a copy.
Its content is very simple, it is a popular science book, it is problem-centered, clear and clear.
So Heifu recalled his previous life, and the few words he remembered when he was a child when he flipped through this book at his grandfather's house, combined with the characteristics of the Qin Dynasty, and compiled this booklet specifically for Shui Gu in accordance with the genre of "Legal Questions and Answers".
This is the medicine that Heifu prescribes for "ignorance".
But how should this medicine be spread to the masses? But it's a nuisance.
New China's common sense of hygiene was popularized only through the propaganda of countless barefoot doctors and one village after another. But where can Hefu find so many doctors? Especially in the south, there are often ten witches in the countryside, but it is difficult to find a doctor.
Ziying's idea is simple, leave it to the government to do! Anyway, now all counties have begun to use block printing, which is used to print the provisions of the law, print hundreds of pamphlets, and distribute them to every city, so that the county orders, village officials, pavilion chiefs, and lizheng can be publicized layer by layer.
This is a good solution, after all, the rule of the Qin Dynasty went deep into the grassroots.
But Heifu shook his head, it works in Nanjun and Yuzhang, but Changsha and Hengshan are the hometowns of Chu, and in many places, Qin officials can't manage the towns and villages at all. In addition, the extremely high tax rate and frequent forced labor, the increasingly antagonistic and confrontational mood between the Qiantou and the government will make them hate the house and the Wu, and it is easy for them to become a formality.
Ziying felt that Heifu was too worried, and persuaded him: "Changnanhou, the people can not start with worries but can be happy, the most virtuous are not in harmony with the customs, and those who have achieved great success are not in the public!" The prince has the heart of worrying about the country and the people, and if those leaders don't appreciate it, they deserve to die. ”
"What is the difference between doing and not doing if this is not known to all?"
According to Heff, people don't need to know too much esoteric knowledge, but they can't be foolish when it comes to common sense related to life and death. While thinking about it, I happened to hear the sound of soldiers training outside the camp tent, and suddenly had an idea, patted his forehead and smiled:
"It's really a person who rides a donkey to find a horse and spreads this "Common Sense", isn't it right in front of you!"
……
"Common Sense", this is the name given to this pamphlet by Heifu, and the first people to know about it were the thousands of people in the Chuting Battalion.
At the end of each day's training, the hundred-hundred-hundred
Let them understand the reason why the Marquis of Changnan ordered the military camp to be relocated and asked the soldiers to drink well water and boiled water, and not to defecate everywhere......
The soldiers were often named and recited some common sense of hygiene for elementary school students in their previous lives:
"Wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet."
"Sickness comes from the mouth."
"Drink raw water, full of worms."
Most of the soldiers in this camp were infected with water Gu and malaria, and it was difficult for them to travel, and those with poor physique died early, and the patients with chronic diseases lasted until Heifu and Chen Wuyi arrived, drank medicine for a month, and improved slightly, and many people have recovered.
After the pain of the skin, the soldiers were very active in learning the common sense of hygiene and preventing water Gu, and their gratitude to the Marquis of Changnan became stronger and stronger.
In addition to the soldiers, thousands of local people who came to work in the camp were also forcibly brought in, sat down in rows, and listened to the lectures of the military officials. Every two men will also be supervised by a soldier until they stumble and recite those common sense sentences, and then they can eat.
Heifu also had the whim to use these short sentences as a patrol command, so that even the stupidest soldiers, illiterate people, could blurt out.
Now, the local people finally know what is wrong with the swelling and early death of their parents and uncles. Hearing the threat of "cutting off children and grandchildren", they all sweated like rain, and muttered that after they went back, they would definitely learn the methods in the barracks and never let the children drink a sip of raw water.
Heifu watched the activities of "stressing civilization and creating hygiene" in the camp in full swing, and was very satisfied, and said to Ziying, Chen Wuyi, Li Cang and others:
"There is a cloud in the art of war, one person learns war, and teaches ten people; Ten people learn to fight, and teach hundreds of people; 100 people learn to fight, teach thousands of people; Thousands of people learn to fight, and teach thousands of people; 10,000 people learn to fight and teach the three armies. ”
"The combat skills are like this, and the common sense is also like this, within a month, the soldiers and conscripts in the battalion all know the terrible disease of the water Gu, and when the battle is over, everyone will return to their hometown, and they will let the five members of the family know about it......"
Although this method is a bit slow, it is the most effective, Ziying nodded, and silently wrote down everything that happened here, he would write it into the song and send it back to Xianyang for the emperor to see.
Heifu decided to promote this pamphlet among the two or three hundred thousand soldiers and civilians of the Southern Expedition, and then use them as a medium to pass on to his family and neighbors, and slowly spread it to the outside world.
Let this knowledge be accepted by thousands of households.
Let this land get rid of the plague god as soon as possible!
"The Southern Expeditionary Army is not only a conqueror, but also a colonization team."
Hefu was looking forward to it.
"They are still manifestos, they are propaganda teams, they are seeders!"
……
At the end of April, the engraving of this pamphlet was sent to the Wuchang Battalion, and the Duwei was asked to print hundreds of copies and distribute them to all tuns for "study".
"Criticize the cruel indifference of the imperial court, and preach the love and righteousness of the prince and prince......"
Gong Ao remembered what Chen Ping had said to him, so he took matters into his own hands and mysteriously told the chiefs of Anlu who had become confidants:
"When preaching this book, be sure to tell the children that this is because the Marquis of Changnan loves the soldiers like a child, and thinks about the illness and pain of the Nanjun Township Party, so he does it, and then let the children tell all the soldiers the truth!"
At the same time, Xiao He, who had received Heifu's new order, also arrived at the Wuchang camp and began the local work in Tuntian.
Beside Xiao He, Han Xin, a young man under the crotch who had been promoted to the rank of chief, looked at the Wuchang Battalion's Chuangwei movement with great curiosity......
