Chapter 103: The Health of Farmers (Ask for Collection Recommendation)

One foot deep and one foot shallow, he walked back from the paddy field, and was about to step on the dry grass to go back to the city to eat a meal of eight-treasure porridge that Jia Ling carefully cooked for him, but he inadvertently looked down, and immediately made him stunned, not only did he lose his appetite, but he almost vomited.

Such a strange appearance naturally surprised Wang San and Li Ergou, and following Shi Bin's eyes, it turned out that several small leeches were sucking blood on Shi Bin's calves.

"Big brother, you are really surprising sometimes, you are not afraid of life and death, but you are afraid of a few leeches (leeches)?" After Li Ergou said this, he and Wang San both laughed.

Shi Bin has never been afraid of those fierce beasts, and he likes to eat eels and loaches, but the slimy maggots and leeches down there make him afraid.

In his memory, the head of that thing has a suction cup, and has an anesthetic effect, once attached to the skin, it is not easy to feel, when the leech bites a person or animal, it sucks the skin with a suction cup, and burrows into the flesh to suck blood, and the amount of blood sucking is very large, which is equivalent to 2-10 times its body weight!

As the so-called ignorant are fearless, the more they know, the more they think, and the more they think about it, the more afraid they are that horror movies are automatically playing in their heads.

He is not afraid of being sucked blood, but he is afraid of being infected at this time when there is a shortage of medical treatment, and if he gets a parasitic disease or lung infection, it will be a catastrophe. Before anything else was done, I met Hades so aggrieved first.

The more he thought about it, the worse his face became, the more unscrupulous the two brothers laughed, Shi Bin said angrily: "Laugh, laugh, laugh, isn't this funny?" Of course, it's disgraceful to be afraid of this, but do you think it's good for us to be bloodsucked like this? Is it good for our development? ”

After speaking, he had to pull out the leeches on his legs with his hands, and he also put on a posture like a great enemy, such a performance was indeed strange enough, but Wang San and the two didn't dare to smile anymore.

"Big brother is slow, you can't do this to drive leeches, I'll 。。。。。 it" Before Shi Bin could make a move, Li Ergou grabbed his hand and said gently.

It was a big mistake to see how he reacted and pulled the leech out so directly. Shi Bin naturally believed in Li Ergou very much, and put down his hand to let him deal with it.

A very surprising way of dealing with it appeared in front of him, Li Ergou did not pull the leech, nor did he play the body of the leech, let alone slap it to death on the leg, but gently slapped it above its blood-sucking position, and the little leeches fell off by themselves in less than five seconds. Then he asked Shi Bin to walk out of the paddy field, squeeze out the dirty blood from the wound, and finally found a few clean young leaves and mashed them and applied them to the wound.

"Big brother, if you are bitten by this thing, you must not pull it or shoot it to death, that thing sucks tightly and drills deeply, pulling out and shooting the dead leech will make things difficult, because this is just a removal of its body, the head and suction cup are still in the human body, and it will take some extra effort to completely remove it when the time comes."

I have only been walking here for an afternoon and have been regarded as food by so many leeches, and those farmers who have been cultivating in this paddy field all year round are not feeding leeches every day?

Feeding a few mouthfuls of blood is not a big deal, I am afraid of the infectious diseases that will be caused, and now there is a shortage of medical treatment, once it really spreads, it will really be a catastrophe, and the result will make people want to cry without tears.

"Stop giggling, now we have a problem that we have been ignoring, ten times more serious than those farmland water conservancy problems, that need to be solved."

Seeing that Shi Bin looked like he was facing a great enemy, Wang San and the others didn't dare to laugh anymore, because according to his temperament, he must have thought of a very serious problem at this time, not one or two leeches.

"Big brother, please speak." Wang San also said cautiously. Li Ergou didn't say anything more, just stood aside and listened.

"We should all know that drinking raw water can cause diarrhea, hepatitis, typhoid fever and other diseases, right?" Seeing that the two of them were no longer uninteresting, Shi Bin said slowly.

Both of them were smart people, and they immediately understood what Shi Bin was referring to, so they asked Shi Bin how he was going to deal with this problem, and admired Shi Bin for being so insightful.

This specific prevention of leech bites and treatment of diseases caused by leech bites, Shi Bin knows nothing except that he knows to drink boiled water, drink ginger soup, and eat garlic, and he is a complete medical blindness.

Li Ergou actually knows this method of slapping his legs, but this can only be used after being bitten, not to mention that these farmers are tired from taking care of this farmland, where is there such idle time to see if there are leeches on their legs? Not to mention that this thing is also anesthetic.

At this time, Shi Bin understood why the farmers in his memory always liked to wear a pair of rubber galoshes to work in the fields, and he did it for a long time, not only to prevent athlete's foot, but also to prevent leech bites.

But where are the rubber shoes at this time? But we must not let these refugees who have taken refuge in them have an accident, and their strength will decline if they have an accident, and they can be regarded as grasshoppers on a rope.

"Give me a notice, and whoever can come up with this to prevent and cure the diseases caused by leeches will be rewarded. One way to come up with it is a bucket of rice, and it's new rice. ”

Wang San, a guy who has always been vigorous and resolute, didn't mean to move after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Big brother, there is something wrong with your notice, it may be better to remove the treatment." ”

Inappropriate? This can surprise Shi Bin, of course prevention and treatment should be together, where is there anything wrong? knows that Shi Bin is also reasonable, but he is also a little stubborn, so he still has to speak calmly, especially when he puts forward opinions.

Wang San said with a smile unhurriedly: "Big brother, this prevention of leech bites must be right, one way is a bucket of rice, the younger brother thinks that two buckets are not too much, but it is not appropriate to treat the diseases caused by leeches." Because the leeches are not diseased but spread diseases, it is impossible to determine whether the disease obtained by the farmers is caused by leeches. If more cures are to be sought, the specific disease should be indicated, and a separate notice should be made, not at this time. ”

After hearing this, Shi Bin of course realized his mistake, but because Wang San was very good at talking, he praised first and then depreciated, which made people very comfortable, so he immediately agreed to issue a new notice according to Wang San's suggestion:

Seek a way to prevent leech bites and a simple and effective way to kill leeches, once a method is used two buckets of new rice.

The conditions for two buckets of new rice are very tempting, and the notice has just been posted, and the place where the notice is posted is already crowded.

At this time, Shi Bin found that this government affairs were difficult to handle, and he had just made another mistake, and forgot how to ease the fight between these people who knew how to prevent and kill leeches.

In that era of worry-free food and clothing, there would be people fighting for an inferior basin, not to mention now when there is no last meal?

So he immediately added a clause: the net worth is innocent, the whole family has only one man, the family property is no more than five acres of fertile land, and he has lived in Xiangtan for more than ten years. As soon as this additional condition came out, there were only a few scattered people left in the crowded place.

In about two days, Shi Bin knew seven ways to drive away leeches. Li Ergou had already told him the first method, and the rest were exchanged for new rice.

For example, you can use cigarette water (that is, water soaked in cigarettes), table salt (table salt is extremely important in outdoor activities, it is best to bring a small packet with you wherever you go), strong vinegar, alcohol (or liquor), chili powder, lime, etc., dripping on the insect body, so that it can relax the suction cup and fall off on its own.

And the way to prevent leech bites was told to him by Li Chao, a former water bandit. When in the water, you should wear long pants and tie the trouser legs tightly, if you feel sorry for the pants, use rags to make leggings to prevent leech bites, and then get some raw garlic juice to smear on the legs and feet, leeches hate these pungent smells and will naturally not come to bite, but this method is only effective for two to four hours, so it is a bit troublesome.

Although he got so many good methods, he still had the meaning of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, so the bounty for killing the leeches was mentioned to five buckets of new rice.

The notice was posted only an hour before the bounty was taken. The best way to kill a leech is to scatter lime into the water at regular intervals.

When it is contaminated with lime powder, it will festering and die, and it will also die of physiological acidity and alkalinity in alkaline water with lime. The strong alkalinity of lime can only be maintained for a short period of time, and it can be diffused and desalined after insecticide, and it is also conducive to the improvement of the strong acidic old swamp soil after desalination.

This method made Shi Bin ecstatic, and such a way of killing two birds with one stone made him eager to add five buckets of new rice to the farmer. If he hadn't been reminded by Wang San that his family background was not thick enough, and he could no longer be a boy with scattered wealth, it is estimated that he would really give it.

After summarizing these methods, Shi Bin immediately ordered the village chiefs to come to collect the relevant information, and strictly ordered that every household should implement the requirements as required. Once something happens, you have to be held accountable, and the first thing is that the village chief is unlucky. When the time comes, not only will he lose his power, but he will also have to pay a fine of a bucket of rice.

With these methods, not only are the farmers much less sick, they are more motivated, and Shi Bin's official reputation is also better.

People like to be praised, and with praise comes motivation, and recently, after finishing the work in the yamen, he often went to the fields to think about finding some ways to protect the grain and the peasant households. After all, the people take food as the sky, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

However, the height is not cold, although it is only a county order, but the real power is in hand, and there are thousands of soldiers under his command and a population of nearly 100,000. Now there are really few people willing to talk to him, even a rectum like Zhao Gang began to cringe, and there was rarely brain congestion when he spoke.

This is also the reason why he often comes to take a walk between the paddy fields and talk to a few ordinary people who don't know him, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Since he was frail and sickly since he was a child, he was most prone to colds and coughs, so he was particularly sensitive to coughing sounds. This time, it didn't take long to hear three or four farmers coughing intermittently not far away. Although it is not strong, it does not stop, and it is obviously a chronic cough, which will be more harmful to the body.

The most serious cough was a farmer who was drying and turning dead grass, and when he saw this, Shi Bin immediately remembered the words "PM2.5", "pneumoconiosis" and "tuberculosis".

The farmer stood beside the haystack and turned the dead grass with a rake, looking very powerful, but the harm in this Shi Bin was clear. It is estimated that he has begun to cough up phlegm, chest pain, and difficulty breathing, and eventually will die of hemoptysis.

After returning to the city, he immediately signaled Wang San to do a general investigation of the cough of these peasant households, and he was shocked if he did not know that he was shocked when he did not check it, this lung disease was actually to the point that there were two out of five peasant households, and it seemed that this problem had to be dealt with as a key point. Although it is not all infectious tuberculosis, lung disease itself will seriously affect people's health, and he does not want a group of sick seedlings to treat the people.

His people, who were impressed by PM2.5, then issued a set of death orders: all residents who have been exposed to dust all year round must wear masks when working, and if they are found to have disobeyed the order, they will be expelled from Xiangtan immediately. In order to prevent some people from engaging in personal fraud, they even sat in a row, five households sat in a row, and the village head checked it. And offer a reward for effective prevention of pneumoconiosis.

Because of the precedent of the last leech reward, the people believed in the notice issued by the county very much. I thought it would take a few buckets of rice to get a way, but I didn't spend a grain of rice to get it.

The person who sent the method was an old Chinese medicine doctor who was over fifty years old, and of course those who have been practicing medicine all year round were very familiar with it, and Shi Bin certainly recognized his method.

The first thing is to drink plenty of plain water to wash the internal organs. The second is to wear not only masks but also hats to minimize body exposure when working with heavy dust, the third is to eat more fruits, houttuynia and fungus that have a protective effect on the lungs, and the fourth is to ventilate comfortably even if the working environment is free of dust, because poor ventilation will still lead to an increase in indoor dust.

This is his job, and it will not be passed on as usual, and it will be passed on to men and not women. Once these are gone, the old Chinese medicine business will definitely be reduced a lot, all of which makes Shi Bin very surprised.

It was not that he was suspicious of any misdeeds, but that he could not harm the interests of this old Chinese medicine doctor too much, so he inquired carefully.

The old man was obviously very wise, and after listening to Shi Bin's words, he looked at him again and said with a smile: "Lord Shi, you are old and have no children or daughters, so you don't have to worry. Besides, these are not treatments, but they are just for prevention, and if something happens, you have to come to me, and besides, old people don't rely on this to eat, right? ”

The words are good, but Shi Bin still feels inappropriate, he has no children and clansmen, and it is unreasonable to have such a way to make money.

Seeing that Shi Bin couldn't hide it, the old Chinese medicine doctor had no choice but to tell the most important reason, all because he Shi Bin accepted so many refugees and opened up the wasteland for tax exemption, which made the old Chinese medicine doctor very impressed.

Such words of gratitude made Shi Bin feel guilty, except for Kang Yuan, everything else was just selfishness. It's just that I want to rely on these healthy people to accumulate more strength and dominate one side in the future.

As if knowing why Shi Bin was not only flushed but also speechless for a long time, the old Chinese medicine doctor hummed lightly and said with a smile: "Lord County Order, people die for money, birds die for food, who will do things that have no benefit?" I just ask you to popularize this method, and as for what you use it for, you can determine for yourself. ”

As he left, he also mentioned an important issue that Shi Bin might have missed: it is necessary to drink boiled water rather than boiling water in ordinary life.

This is indeed something that Shi Bin never thought about from beginning to end, because he basically can't drink. But Wang San and the others often drank it, and he didn't bother to argue with them because of this, after all, in his opinion, one or two sips of raw water were just like that.

After being reminded by the old Chinese medicine doctor, Shi Bin at this time remembered those examples of diseases caused by drinking raw. So he immediately issued an order to prohibit drinking raw water, but it had little practical effect, after all, if he himself was extremely thirsty, he would pour a mouthful of raw water into his stomach, not to mention the ordinary people who did not have the slightest sense of hygiene.

During a visit to the barracks, it was found that four sergeants in the capital were infected with dysentery at the same time, and the reason was that they drank raw water, and this situation continued. It's good today, this one, and tomorrow it's broken.

This situation made Shi Bin unbearable any longer, and the resulting non-combat attrition was simply ridiculous, and the losses were too great. This time, he did not issue a county order, but a military order:

No matter who it is, as long as it is in Xiangtan, it must drink boiling water, and the people who dare to drink raw water are found to be beaten with five military sticks at a time, and the sergeants are found to be beating ten military sticks at a time.

The people were found to be exempt from tax five times, and were expelled from Xiangtan ten times. The sergeant often found ten sticks once, and immediately killed with the rod if he found five times.

It was very surprising to the people that they were so strict about drinking water, but Shi Bin didn't bother to explain, and in his opinion, it seemed that it was not bad to play official power. Let those doctors do it, and by the way, popularize the knowledge related to leeches and lung diseases. It can also be regarded as a city-wide health knowledge popularization campaign.
