Chapter 34: The Nurse
"General Gao, can you assign me some more manpower?" If Wu Heng is allowed to continue to work day and night, it will be a matter of time before he dies of exhaustion due to overwork. Although Wu Heng is compassionate, he also cherishes his body. You know, healers can't heal themselves, and if they are exhausted, they will be in great trouble, and there will be no one to take care of the wounded soldiers.
Therefore, Wu Heng had to ask Gao Shun for someone, although he knew that Gao Shun's hands could get a pitiful number of doctors.
Mr. Wu...... I know you're not easy...... But I ...... "In the face of Wu Heng's request, Gao Shun was also very embarrassed. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say no. He knew how hard Wu Heng had been in the past two days, how difficult it was, and he knew how important Wu Heng was to the defenders in the city, once Wu Heng was tired, the losses caused would definitely not be small. But Gao Shun was helpless, he wanted to help, and the people who might have been sent out were sent out, but at this moment he really had no way at all, and he couldn't help at all.
"If there is no one who understands medical skills around the general, ordinary people can do it, please, as long as there is someone who can help me." Wu Heng also knew that Gao Shun was very embarrassed, so he could only lower his requirements, and if there was no doctor, he could let him give himself to the common people, and let them help with some of the simplest tasks such as bandaging and handing things. Even if he can reduce his burden a little, Wu Heng is grateful.
Ordinary people? Hearing Wu Heng say this, another flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Gao Shun's mind......
For the treatment work in the wounded barracks, Gao Shun has not been to inspect. Every time he made an inspection, looking at the busy appearance of those few doctors, Gao Shun always felt as if something was missing.
At this time, being mentioned by Wu Heng like this, Gao Shun finally thought of it, nurse! There are no nurses in this day and age!
Nurses play an extremely important role in a health care system. Nurses not only serve as the doctor's deputy, but also help to care for the sick. More importantly, nurses can give patients spiritual comfort, which is the most important thing.
In the camp for wounded soldiers, the most heard sound is the voice of mourning. The injuries caused the soldiers not only physical pain, but also mental torture. If there were seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls who were in charge of taking care of them at this time, even if they had never received medical training, as long as these young and beautiful girls were by their side, it would have played a great role in healing the mental wounds suffered by those soldiers.
Of course, it's easy to think about, but it's really difficult to implement. Although the defense of men and women in the late Han Dynasty was not as serious as after the Song Dynasty, you have to persuade other people's parents to send their young daughters to the barracks to take care of those men who have never met, and you feel a headache when you think about Gao Shun. In addition, according to Gao Shun's idea, the age of the nurse was set at between 16 and 20 years old, and more than ninety percent of the women in ancient times were already married, so it was very inappropriate for them to leave the men in their own families and take care of strangers.
As for setting the age group lower? Gao Shun never had this idea, and let the twelve or thirteen-year-old Lori take care of a group of uncles? Gao Shun thought that he was not so evil. Moreover, a girl who is so young, has never been married, and has no training as a nurse may not know how to care for people.
"General, general?" Seeing Gao Shun wandering there alone, Wu Heng couldn't help but remind him twice.
"Oh...... Mr. Wu. Gao Shun came back to his senses and said to Wu Heng, "Mr. Wu will let me go for another half a day, and I will see if I can transfer some people to you in the evening." ”
Wu Heng also knew that Gao Shun could promise to give him manpower, which was already commendable, and it was not good to continue to be strong at the moment, so he resigned and retired.
As soon as Wu Heng left, Gao Shun immediately called someone to write a notice and hung it in the most conspicuous position in the East County City:
"Today, Lu Bu is attacking the city in a hurry, and the defenders are wounded a lot, so now we specially call women from good families between the ages of 16 and 20 to join the army as nurses and perform the duty of nursing and caring for the wounded soldiers. Whoever is a nurse will be given half a tael of gold by her family. ”
Although this move is quite uncourteous, Gao Shun can't care so much at the moment. Worried that no one would apply, then a heavy reward was promised. As the saying goes, money can make the devil grind, and some parents of poor families even do not hesitate to sell their daughters into brothels in order to make a living, but now they just let them care for the wounded, and do not want their innocence, I believe that there will always be parents who are greedy for money to send their daughters.
The rarity of gold at the end of the Han Dynasty was not comparable to later generations, and the gold awarded to heroes in the Tang and Song dynasties was dozens of taels or even hundreds of taels. At the end of the Han Dynasty, being able to reward a few taels of gold was already a supreme gift and wealth. In the original history, in the second year of Wei Jingchu (238 AD), the queen of the Wa kingdom sent an envoy to meet her, and Emperor Cao Pi of Wei Wen gave eight taels of gold. This is to be placed in the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent Tang envoys to come to the court to meet, and you only rewarded people with eight taels of gold, which is definitely ridiculous and generous, and tarnishes the face of my heavenly kingdom. The preciousness of gold at the end of the Han Dynasty can be seen from this.
Half a tael of gold is already a great wealth for the commoners' family, and this is what Gao Shun privately decided to embezzle from the treasury, and he himself doesn't have so much money. Gao Shun didn't believe it, under the temptation of such a heavy money, he wouldn't be able to summon people? As for whether Cao Cao will be blamed in the future, as long as Gao Shun can finally hold the city, it should be no problem. If his own efforts to defend the city could not be surpassed in Cao Cao's eyes, Gao Shun would really have to consider running away and joining another master.
————————————————————————————————
In the afternoon, a total of 10 girls applied for the position called nurse.
Although the number of people is not small, it cannot be considered large. However, Gao Shun also said that he can understand that even if he promises high returns, people always dare not try new things easily. Ten is ten. Anyway, it's not just a day of recruitment, Gao Shun plans to treat nurses as a long-term system and pass it on, and the number will always increase slowly in the future.
In fact, there were a total of eleven girls who originally came, but the appearance of the last one was so sorry for the audience, even Gao Shun almost didn't vomit when he saw each other. If she was asked to take care of the wounded, the slightly more seriously injured person might lose her breath directly when she saw her face, how could this kind of person stay, and Gao Shun immediately ordered someone to drive her out.
"General Gao...... This ......" Looking at the ten girls who were a little timid in front of him, Wu Heng was so surprised that his eyes were about to fall out. What is this General Gao Shun doing? asked him for help, how did he give himself ten delicate little girls? Could it be that General Gao saw that I was too tired and sympathetic to his subordinates, so he gave me ten women to make me happy?
Phew, how can your own mind be so dirty, and even if your mind is dirty, how can General Gao have such a dirty idea? Although Wu Heng and Gao Shun don't have a lot of contact, they also know the general character of the other party, and they will not make such a move as rewarding their subordinates with women, not to mention that there are still so many ten women.
Moreover, Wu Heng's personality is not upright, but he is still upright in general, if Gao Shun only gives him one beauty, maybe he will accept it, but if Gao Shun really gives him ten beauties, he will definitely thank Bumin, and maybe he will leave with his sleeves.
But what did General Gao do to let so many girls go to the barracks?
