Chapter 27 Water Plague
At dawn the next day, Han Qian got up and lit the lamp, sat in front of the window to read, and soon Zhao Ting'er brought a copper basin with hot water for Han Qian to wash.
Zhao Ting'er may have just entered the Han Mansion and didn't sleep well, but when she saw the lights on here, she wanted to behave in the Han Mansion just now, so she had to reluctantly get up and rush over to serve Qingyun; She placed the copper basin on the wooden shelf and couldn't help but yawn.
Seeing Han Qian coming over, Zhao Ting'er made a big red face, and her pretty and beautiful face seemed to have been dyed by the morning glow.
Han Qian was slightly stunned when he saw it, and then he noticed that Zhao Ting'er had changed into a round-necked jacket and a red and yellow floral cloth skirt, and the rural atmosphere was gone, and she really had an outstanding beauty and beauty.
Han Qian put down the scroll in his hand, walked to the basin stand to wash, turned his head and saw Zhao Ting'er tiptoeing at the book he had spread out on the long table, and asked, "Can you read?" ”
"The young bishop is literate without mowgli, and Ting'er has learned some from Wuji." Zhao Ting'er stuck out her tongue and said.
"And how much do you understand this book?" Han Qian asked.
"I recognize most of the words, but I don't quite understand what they mean when they are put together." Zhao Ting'er said.
"Oh!"
Han Qian looked at Zhao Ting'er in surprise, he had officially taught Zhao Wuji to read and write for more than 20 days, and then he left Zhao Wuji a few books on literacy and went back to the city first.
If Zhao Ting'er had only used it for three months, he would have roughly recognized most of the redundant handwriting in those two pages of the book, then his qualifications would be really good.
"Don't you believe it, young master?" Zhao Ting'er's bright eyes stared at Han Qian and asked boldly.
Although Qingyun is the same age as Zhao Ting'er, perhaps Qingyun has been restrained too much and too long in the Han Mansion, and she has the consciousness of being a slave and maid, and she always acts carefully, unlike Zhao Ting'er, who still maintains the bold and curious nature of a mountain girl.
"What does this read?" Han Qian put the sweat towel on the shelf, walked over with great interest and pointed to Zhao Ting'er and asked Zhao Ting'er.
"Yi, in 'Shuowen', 'Yi' means flying......," Zhao Ting'er said.
Han Qian even pointed to a few words, but as long as there were records in several Mongolian books such as "Shuowen" that he left to Zhao Wuji, Zhao Ting'er generally recognized it, which was really not simple.
Han Qian took a piece of paper, wrote down some book titles, handed it to Zhao Ting'er and said, "When you meet Han Laoshan, give him this paper, and say that these books are what I want to read, and let him buy them back." In the future, you will be in my room, start with these books, and if there is anything you don't understand, wait for me to come back at night. ”
"Ting'er is by the young master's side, can he really read and write?" Zhao Ting'er asked happily.
"Why not?" Han Qian smiled, thinking that even if he could divert his father's attention, there were still too few people around him who could really use it, and he didn't want to let Zhao Kuo, who couldn't see through the details, always follow him like a ghost.
After a while, Zhao Kuo took Zhao Laoqi and Zhao Wuji over to ask for peace - Zhao Laoqi was in a hurry to rush back to the villa.
Han Qian asked Han Laoshan to bring a piece of cloth and two thousand money from the treasury and asked Zhao Laoqian to bring it back; He also asked Fan Dahei to go to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion to see if the Linjiang Marquis had come back from the palace.
Although he heard from Changhou Li Pu in the evening Red Mansion last night that the third prince Yang Yuanpu would stay in the palace for three days before returning to the mansion, Han Qian couldn't show that he already knew about it, so he had to let Fan Dahei go to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion to wait for the official news, so that he could steal three days of laziness in the mansion.
After practicing Shi Gongquan, Fan Dahei rushed back from the Linjiang Hou Mansion and was informed that the third prince Yang Yuanpu would be in the palace for three days before returning to the Hou Mansion.
Han Qian asked Han Laoshan, Zhao Kuo, and Fan Xicheng to gather them, and said that they would select innocent widows from outside the city, especially widows with many heirs around them, and marry them to the lonely widows in the house.
Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo were a little caught off guard, standing there looking at each other, not agreeing, not agreeing.
"My wife and daughter are just separated in the war, and there may be hope to find them - Da Hei is a lot older, and the young master is gracious, just help him find a daughter-in-law." Fan Xicheng said.
He is used to being alone, even if Fan Wucheng is dead, and there is Fan Dahei in front of him to take care of him, he really doesn't want to be almost sixty years old, there is another strange woman in the room, and there are a bunch of snotty and sloppy little ghosts calling Dad.
Fan Dahei squatted next to him and smiled.
He is energetic now, walking on the street, his eyes can't help but stare at the breasts and buttocks of the big girl and the little daughter-in-law, at this time he really doesn't mind begging a daughter-in-law to have children.
"Fan Dahei wants to find a daughter-in-law, and I will help him choose a good family background in the future - now my father can't bear to see the hungry people outside the city starving everywhere, thinking that this move may be able to live dozens of more lives, and at the same time, it is also pity that you are getting older and no one to take care of you, don't think it's a troublesome thing,"
Han Qian didn't allow Fan Xicheng to shrink his head, and said to Fan Dahei,
"You go and prepare the carriage and horses, I will go out of the city with my father today for a walk. When you go out with us, keep your eyes open, help your father and Zhao Kuo, and pick a room for a docile and virtuous mother-in-law to come back-"
Speaking of this, Han Qian stared at Zhao Kuo: "If you have any requirements, make it clear at this time, and find a blind woman for you to come back when you can save it." ”
"......" Zhao Kuo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and finally gave up struggling, saying, "Just don't be blind and rot your legs." ”
After Fan Dahei prepared the carriage and horses, Han Qian went into the house and invited his father out of the city together.
Han Daoxun reluctantly agreed to this, but he really had no interest in Zhang Luo.
However, Han Qian's most fundamental intention was to use other things to divert his father's attention, and after persuading him for a while, he dragged his father to the horse, and went out of the city accompanied by Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo, Fan Dahei, Lin Haizheng, Zhao Wuji, Han Laoshan and others.
…………
…………
The war between the Jianghuai and the Huai River has not been appeased, the local looting is still fierce, large fields and cities are deserted, and countless hungry people have fled into barren mountains and old forests, or fled south to survive.
Jinling City strictly forbade the hungry to enter the city, and hundreds of thousands of hungry people were stranded outside the four cities all year round, or in the deserted rivers and deserts, or struggling to survive in the Daoye.
Fortunately, in the land south of the Yangtze River, especially the fish, crabs, shrimp and snails in the rivers and lakes, there are many hungry people, a large number of hungry people are stranded, and the vast majority of people can barely starve to death, but they are also yellow and thin, and they are dying.
And the hungry people in the river beach valley, many of them are so hungry that they lie in simple shacks or lie directly in the open air with bulging bellies.
Han Qian went out of the city several times before, and noticed this situation, Zhao Kuo and they said that this was a big epidemic, Han Qian was worried about the spread of the epidemic at first, and avoided it every time, until one day he suddenly remembered that in the dream world, this is a schistosomiasis infectious disease commonly known as big belly disease!
Although Zhai Xinping, the person in the dream, did not experience a large-scale outbreak of schistosomiasis, when he was in primary school, the school would publicize this matter every spring, and organize students to go to paddy fields or ditches to pick up and kill snails, leaving a very deep memory - snails are the only intermediate host for the transmission of schistosomiasis, and they are picked up from the ditches that are easy to breed and eliminated them in a centralized manner, so as to achieve the purpose of blocking the source of infection and controlling the spread of the disease.
Han Qian went out of the city several times to see that the infection rate of schistosomiasis among the hungry people is extremely high, almost reaching the horror level of 23 out of ten, the most critical reason is that the hungry people do not get relief, they can only rely on the fish, crabs, shrimp and snails in the lakes and canals for a living, and constantly contact with the infected water, most people can only eat crab snails raw, how can the infection of schistosomiasis not be fierce?
Even the spread of the disease can be controlled by relocating hungry people from the river flats where schistosomiasis eggs breed and effectively controlling their exposure to the infested water.
However, this seems simple, but it requires a strong government force to promote it.
Han Qian wouldn't have had a headache about things he couldn't do before, but today he took advantage of the reason of choosing a civilian woman to marry a family soldier and pulled his father out of the city, which really wanted to divert his father's attention from this matter.
"These hungry people are very pitiful, and they do not know what kind of epidemic they have contracted them, so that their bones are as dry as wood, but their bellies are swollen like this!" Han Qian stopped on a river embankment, waved his horsewhip at the sick and hungry people on the river beach, and said with emotion.
"The water Gu plague occurred between the Jianghuai River, and the aftermath was very serious, and the good doctors in the DPRK and China were helpless, and the expedient measure was to drive the sick people away and not let them enter the city." Han Daoxun looked at the tragic situation in front of him, his expression was even more sad, and he said with a long sigh.
Han Daoxun has a wide range of knowledge, and he is resting today, although he is helpless against the tragic situation of the people in front of him, he is still very patient to tell Han Qian what he knows about the water cup plague, as well as the research of the current doctors on the water Gu plague.
Han Qian has been reading medical books these days, and he has already learned that the understanding of schistosomiasis by the doctors of the world is only limited to the level of "proximity to water, and the Gu poison hidden in the water", and according to the memory of Zhai Xinping in the dream, the schistosoma eggs that enter the human and animal bodies through the only intermediate host, the snail, are only as small as a hair, and if the doctors of the world only observe with the naked eye, it is indeed impossible to observe the existence of "water Gu"!
In addition, even after being cured, infected patients repeatedly come into contact with infected water, it also leads to the erroneous perception that there is no cure for the water plague in the world.
"Since Gu poison is hidden in water, but the water is in rivers, lakes and streams, and in addition to the water of irrigation, ditches and ponds, and water for digging wells, whether all waters have Gu poison, or is there a difference?"
Han Qian couldn't directly say the things in the dream, but he quietly raised some questions, prompting his father Han Daoxun to think in the right direction,
"When the child went out of the city today, he saw the epidemic outside the city, as if he was on the verge of a great defense, and the city was relatively peaceful. However, if you think about it, in addition to digging wells and drinking water, the Shitang River, Qiupu River and other streams and ponds and ditches are connected with the waterways of the outer city. ”
"The young master kept asking, the family mainly knows so much, and it is time to enter the Shang Medical Bureau." Han Laoshan, who was waiting next to him, said with a smile.
"......" Han Daoxun did not appear impatient, but frowned deeply, obviously Han Qian's questions really grasped the key point and led him to ponder.
The reason why Han Qian thinks that such an induced inquiry can divert his father's attention is mainly because the medicine of the world is not complex and professional enough, like his father Han Daoxun, who is familiar with the meaning of the scriptures and the application of the scriptures, is usually a Confucian doctor.
In particular, his father has served as a secretary and young eunuch in recent years, and his main responsibility is to sort out documents, revise and compile the posthumous scrolls of the previous dynasty, and the research on medical science, pharmacy and even medical administration is by no means under the so-called "good doctors" in the world.
If his father had taken pity on the starving people and wanted to change it on his own, he would have only had to pry open the window and let in a glimmer of hope that would solve the problem, and he might have diverted his father's attention.
"......" After a long time, Han Daoxun sighed and said, "Thinking about it, it is indeed a big difference, this Gu disease may be hidden in some aquatic things, and these aquatic things, ditches and ponds outside the city are common, and the wells and rivers in the city are rare, which will cause these differences between inside and outside the city-Qian'er can see things in detail, which shows that you have been resting for half a year, and you have indeed gained, and if you continue to work hard in the future, you can become a minister of the world!" ”
Han Qian's changes during this period of time are obvious to everyone, but Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan don't understand that the few seemingly random questions of the young master Han Qian today actually made the family master have such high expectations for him.
What they don't know is that Han Qian's questions about the Shuipu epidemic have not been thought about by Han Daoxun, even after reading medical books, and it can cause Han Daoxun to think deeply at this time, which may make the world's understanding of the Shuizhu epidemic take a big step forward, which is not the smart and capable that ordinary qualifications can achieve.
Han Qian saw that his father's mind was hooked, and he was afraid that it would be too much, so he didn't continue to ask.
