Large-scale production of lime is the first priority to control the source of the epidemic, Shen Yang, Yang En, and Han Daoxun are all concerned, so they went with Han Qian to see how the three large stoves were built.

The big stove built last night, the green and white stone has been calcined for almost a day and a night, and a large amount of iron-gray lime has accumulated at the bottom of the chamber.

After all, four large stoves can produce an average of 20 loads of lime a day, but to deal with human and animal feces and control the source of the epidemic, it is enough to use hundreds of loads of lime every day.

Not to mention the rest, 30,000 or 40,000 people, divided into 25 tuns, and each tun village has 14,500 people, how many loads of lime do you need to dispose of the feces and sewage produced by these people every day?

"Han Qian, you try to build a big stove here, and every load of lime comes out, the military government will collect it at the market price." Shen Yang said.

"The more lime you use, the better, but the military government has limited financial resources, and if you use more for this matter, you will use less for him," Han Daoxun thought about the hungry people and asked Fan Xicheng, "The four big stoves here can produce twenty loads of lime every day after they are completed, how much effort do you estimate it will take?" ”

Han Qian was so anxious that he wanted to stomp his feet and settle the hungry people infected with the epidemic, in the early stage, the Xinchang Marquis Mansion invested money and materials, and it was rare to have the opportunity to slaughter Li Pu and Li Chong's father and son in this matter, how could he be soft-hearted?

Seeing the question of the head of the family, Fan Xicheng ignored Han Qian's vigorous eyes, and the thief replied honestly: "According to the method taught by the young master, the stone-burner is counted as three laborers, and a total of only thirty laborers is enough - one laborer will give three liters of grain every day." ”

"Thirty laborers are enough, then even if you count one hundred liters of grain, you can produce twenty loads of lime, and each load of lime is worth five liters of grain." Han Do-hoon said.

Hearing his father's words, Han Qian's heart was so painful that he cried blood.

The market price of lime per load was 20 liters of rice, and as soon as his father Han Daoxun came generously, he directly cut the lime produced by the villa to a quarter of the market price and supplied it to the cantonment military government.

And he can't publicize it yet, he has to keep it secret, and he can't let the Anning Palace know that this side is desperately sticking to the cantonment military mansion of the Dragon Bird Army, how wronged he is!

You are destroying the market and engaging in vicious competition!

However, Han Qian also understood that his father did not hesitate to bear the notoriety in order to settle these hungry people, and he would never sit back and watch him profit from the hungry people, and he could only swallow the bitterness into his stomach.

"This is very good, the more lime is used, the better, it must be 70,000 or 80,000 quintals a year, if it is the market price, it will be very difficult to use nearly 20,000 stone grains for one thing." Shen Yang said.

The military funds officially given by the imperial court to the Dragon Bird Army are only equivalent to 30,000 or 40,000 stone grains per year, which is not enough to consume at all, and all the shortage needs to be raised by the Dragon Bird Army itself.

Theoretically, it is necessary to rely on the cantonment camp side to replenish, but now the cantonment camp is the biggest bottomless pit.

If you use up 20,000 stone grain in the purchase of lime, first, the opposition will be very loud, and the second is that Shen Yang, as the chief manager of the Long Bird Army, is really difficult to squeeze out so much extra money and grain.

This part can be compressed to 5,000 stone grains per year, which is much easier.

Shen Yang discussed this matter with Han Daoxun, and he didn't think to ask Han Qian's opinion.

Han Qian said to Fan Xicheng in frustration: "The method has been instructed by Lord Yang, there will be no problem, you hire more people to quarry and burn stones, and you will always do everything possible to send two hundred loads of lime to Shen Yang every day." ”

Han Qian originally thought about whether there was room for further improvement in the stone burning stove, but now that he thought that if there was really further improvement, his father would most likely be generous to others, so it was better to maintain the status quo and attract a little less attention.

…………

…………

Han Daoxun had no intention of getting involved in the dispute, his mind was mainly on the hungry people who were infected with the epidemic.

Seeing that Shen Yang was in charge here, he invited Yang En, the official of the right school, to come over, and he went back to the city in the evening, and he did not stay in the villa for a long time, so as not to see the flaws in the Anning Palace and the prince's side.

Maybe it was because he saw that Han Qian and others were on the side of the villa, and the soldiers of the Han family's thirty or forty families were following Shen Yang's dispatch all day long and mixing with the infected and hungry people, judging that Han Qian had absolute confidence in "Epidemic Water Sparseness" and controlling the source of the epidemic.

And every time a large amount of materials are delivered, Li Chong, as well as Li Zhihe, Chai Jian, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xinchang, will also take turns to appear on the stage to declare their favor to the infected and hungry people on behalf of the third prince Yang Yuanpu......

Han Qian stayed in the villa to "recuperate", in addition to continuing to expand the lime kiln, there was also a problem encountered by the children of the family soldiers when assisting Shen Yang in relieving the hungry people infected with the epidemic, although he would not soak in the military government office all day, but he would also find a way to guide and solve it.

This can be regarded as a hand-in-hand teaching to Guo Nuer, Lin Zongjing and other soldiers how to deal with the various problems they actually encounter.

Of course, this is too fragmented and fragmented, and it is difficult to equip these children of family soldiers with the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities he needs in a short period of time.

Han Qian took advantage of the free time of "recuperation" to teach Zhao Ting'er, Zhao Wuji and these children of the family soldiers while compiling some things.

He lacked practical experience, the books he could read, and his words were extremely brief, without legends and details, so he called Fan Xicheng and other family soldiers to him and asked carefully.

Fan Xicheng and they don't have a particularly deep knowledge, so let them teach the children of the family soldiers, and they are only limited to fists, feet, cavalry, archery and the most basic array arrangement, but as a pawn in the army, Han Qian really wants to dig deeper, and he will find that they still have a lot of skills in details.

It's just that even an old man like Fan Xicheng didn't think about simple bandaging, soil medicine, hiding blades, tying knots, observing words and feelings, and even judging the difference between enemy and enemy uniforms and weapons, all of which are considered skills.

Han Qian himself is also groping and summarizing, while teaching the children of the family soldiers, and the cantonment military government is also on the right track step by step.

Guo Rong, Chen De and others didn't know the existence of "Epidemic Water Sparse", and they were naturally afraid of the epidemic, so they refused to come to Taowuji, which also made what happened in Taowuji not spread in a short time, at least not to the ears of Anning Palace and the prince.

At present, the water Gu plague can only be controlled, or can not be effectively treated, but most of the patients with the water cup plague, although they showed more serious symptoms of infection before, but they are mainly malnourished.

Shen Yang mainly drove these people, regardless of men, women, and children, to build tunsai houses, and also requisitioned tens of thousands of people to build embankments along the north bank of Chishan Lake, and at the same time dug new ditches and ponds, so that a batch of dry fields could be reclaimed and planted crops in time for spring.

The symptoms are severe, ascites, and almost the infected and hungry people who are in the late stage of the epidemic account for about 20%, these people are well fed and their bodies are also quite weak, mainly used to dispose of feces and dirt.

Even if the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion imported a large amount of money, food and materials in this half month, it was still insufficient.

At the same time, they endured famine, severe malnutrition, and long-term epidemic torture for a long time, and when the cold snap invaded the south, the mortality rate of the infected and hungry people who were initially resettled was also terrifyingly high, and dozens or even hundreds of people died of disease almost every day.

There is no doubt about the cremation of the dead and the sick.

Fortunately, this situation lasted for more than half a month, and it slowly improved, even if there were thirteen or thirteen people dying every day, the mortality rate was extremely high, but it was mainly because people with extremely weak physiques could not survive the cold winter, and it was not as terrifying as it was in the first half of the month.

At this time, the military government of the cantonment camp gradually took on some appearance.

A considerable number of the families of the hungry people who were infected with the epidemic, except for their yellow faces and thin muscles due to long-term hunger, were generally healthy, and they were also incorporated into the cantonment military government, accounting for almost 40% of the total number of hungry people.

Under the personal auspices of Shen Yang, the source of the epidemic was strictly controlled, and in the past month, only 17 of these people showed obvious symptoms of the epidemic. It is very likely that these 17 people contracted the epidemic before entering the cantonment, and the symptoms only showed up after arriving in the cantonment.

This fully shows that it is accurate and effective to strictly control the source of the epidemic in accordance with the "Epidemic Water Sparseness".

On the 24th day of the lunar month, when the New Year was approaching, Li Chong, his eldest brother Li Zhihe and his brother-in-law Chai Jian and others led their troops into the cantonment camp again and transported a batch of meat.

Although they had to engage in heavy labor and the work of training could not wait to begin, the thirty or forty thousand hungry people were completely freed from the situation that they would fall to death at any time, and they were also full of gratitude in their hearts for rescuing their benefactor, the Third Prince and the Marquis of Xinchang.

After Li Chong, Li Zhihe, Chai Jian and others visited the soldiers on behalf of the third prince Yang Yuanpu, they talked to Shen Yang, Guo Liang, Zhang Qian and others for a while, and then drove their horses into the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard.

Han Qian hugged Qiu and lay down, continued to pretend to be sick, and met Li Chong, Li Zhihe, and Chai Jian in the bedroom.

Han Qian's sources of information are too limited, and it is only recently that he learned that Li Zhihe is actually the son of Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, according to Feng Yi, Li Zhihe's father died on the battlefield to protect Li Pu when he was young, and Li Pu later adopted Li Zhihe under his knees.

In addition to Li Chong, Li Puyan's eldest son died on the battlefield, and there was also a thirteen-year-old young son who stayed in Hongzhou, where the Li family was originally home, to be fostered.

Li Zhihe was over thirty years old at this time, and Chai Jian was older, before the founding of the Great Chu, they fought on the battlefield with Li Yu, Li Pu and others, revealing a bloody and murderous aura.

After Emperor Tianyou transferred Li Yu to the court as a privy deputy envoy, Li Pu's general Zhang Ji and others handed over their military power and returned to the court with Li Yu.

Li Zhihe, Chai Jian and other sons-in-law of the Li family also left the Chuzhou Army and were transferred to the prefecture and county to serve as military posts, mainly responsible for local security and anti-theft, and could no longer command the real elite soldiers to charge into battle on the battlefield.

It was also this time that Emperor Tianyou intended to use the manpower of the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion to support the framework of the Dragon Bird Army, and Li Zhihe, Chai Jian and others were able to return to the army to serve as middle and senior generals such as the Marquis of Duyu.

To tell the truth, Li Zhihe and Chai Jian were extremely resistant at first, even if they watched "Epidemic Water Sparse", they didn't take it seriously, and they didn't think that there was no way to solve the problem for generations of medical officers, and the secretary and young eunuch Han Daoxun really had a solution.

However, in the past month, they have been able to keep abreast of the development of the situation on the side of the cantonment military government, and they firmly believe that the epidemic is effectively controlled, so that they can truly realize the power of "Epidemic Water Sparse".

There are a total of 12,500 military households in the cantonment camp, and more than 1,000 households have died due to the epidemic in the past month, and more than 11,400 households remain, with a total of more than 34,000 soldiers and families, including more than 13,000 men between the ages of 15 and 50.

Among the more than 13,000 men, there are about 2,000 people who are seriously affected by the epidemic and extremely weak and shaped like waste; The infected but able to drive 6,000 laborers, but there are still more than 5,000 people without the disease.

Looking at the control of the source of the epidemic here, there is no need to worry that these 5,000 people will be infected with the epidemic, and preliminary training has been started.

Prior to this, they only had four or five hundred people available in Jinling, once Emperor Tianyou could not suppress the ambition of Anning Palace, they and the Marquis of Linjiang would be on the verge of being destroyed at any time, although there were more than 5,000 people, and the combat effectiveness was far from expecting, but the situation had improved too much compared to a month.

And all of this is thanks to a letter "Epidemic Water Sparse".

Therefore, don't say that Han Qian pointed his nose and scolded a fool, even if Han Qian sprinkled a few bubbles of urine on his head, Li Chong could only pinch his nose and run over to visit the "sick" Han Qian every once in a while.

Li Zhihe and Chai Jian had never dealt directly with Han Qian before, but even if it was a grasshopper tied to a tree, Han Qian didn't stick to it, and they couldn't stick to Han Qian because of their identity.

However, the Linjiang Marquis Mansion will hold a banquet tomorrow, and the third prince Yang Yuanpu lost his temper, saying that if Han Qian did not show up again, he would personally come to the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard to invite them, and they were afraid that Li Chong would not be able to invite Han Qian, who was "sick", so they could only come over together......
