Chapter 279: Vaccination
Huang Han comes from modern times and understands that drying up and fishing will hurt the foundation of the country.
Therefore, the land rent and taxes he set were paid with reference to 40% of the mu yield of the year, and no one would need to go hungry or sell their children or daughters because of this burden.
Because the peasants and the guards who cultivate the land will be given 60 percent of the yield per mu at their disposal, and if 30 percent of the cost of farming is discarded, they should be able to get 30 percent of the output to support their families.
Based on the average military household cultivating fifty acres of dry land and harvesting one season of wheat, the family should be able to obtain more than fifteen stone of wheat for rations and exchange for the necessities of life.
Huang Han's calculation is really reasonable, only one acre of dry land is estimated to be about 75 kilograms of wheat per acre of dry land, and Funing, which has been managed by a small watershed, is already very conservative, and Huang Han ignores all the cash crops such as vegetables and peanuts that the military households have planted themselves.
In a disaster year, when the peasants and the guards received 30 percent of the grain was not enough to feed their families, the feedback system would follow up, and at that time, instead of asking the peasants to hand over the grain, the "Red Banner Army" system would lend and reserve grain for the people to tide over the food shortage.
Huang Han is very confident that now the integration of acres in the system has been basically completed, the construction of reservoirs, ditches, and irrigation wells are always in progress, and the possibility of a catastrophe and famine in the Beidaihe area, where the land is fertile and beautiful, can basically be ruled out.
In addition, two or three percent of the acres of potatoes and sweet potatoes with relatively high yields are planted in the fields within the system, and it is not a problem at all for the "Red Flag Army" system not to be troubled by the shortage of grain supply in the short term.
Moreover, because the general treats the officers and men under his command well, the food of the "Red Banner Army" must ensure that there is one meal of meat every day, and the thousands of people stationed in Funing must of course purchase local materials such as poultry, eggs, pork, and so on as much as possible.
Raising chickens, ducks, and geese can be sold at a good price, and poultry eggs are not sold, which points out the way for the local people to make a fortune through hard work.
With a strong demand, the breeding of folk chickens, ducks and geese is basically the use of kang house incubation technology, and the people with high seedling emergence rate have a rich harvest, which has brought technological progress.
The old and weak people in the original guard army no longer forced them to train once every three days, so that they could completely become peasants and produce food, but now only 500 young and middle-aged people of the guard army participated in the training.
Huang Han has never pretended to be painless, and now only one-third of the guards are left for military training, of course, they will not practice every three days, but run drills, training queues, arrays, and stabs every day according to the standard of cold weapon infantry......
The recruitment of military service existed in the name of the guard, and in the case of managing three meals and uniforms, he was given a monthly salary of six coins of silver plus five buckets of miscellaneous grains.
Such treatment is enough for a strong laborer to support himself and at the same time to support two or three family members, not only the young and strong soldiers of the former guard station who are training every day for 500 days, but also many ordinary people are vying to join the army, and now there are 3,000 in training.
The common people know that these treatments are the most basic, if they are selected as regular soldiers because of their good performance, their treatment will be doubled immediately, and if they can kill the enemy and be rewarded for their meritorious service, they will also have the opportunity to become an official master.
Only those who can see hope will be motivated, Huang Han is willing to give hope to thousands of Han people, stimulate their ambition, and strive to make the Han people never be slaves of other peoples!
Spring goes to spring and comes again, and in the blink of an eye, it is early spring February, and the old apprentice Li Zhonghua has found dozens of ploughing cattle carrying pox viruses in Funing.
In order to strengthen secrecy, Huang Han personally selected two twelve or thirteen-year-old young soldiers rescued from Karaqin and belonged to the command of three old apprentices.
Before making the move, Huang Han told the young soldiers of the two general banners very seriously that this move was a first-class military secret, and those who leaked it would be beheaded.
These children are all orphans, who used to be slaves in Karaqin without enough food and clothing, but after being rescued by the "Red Banner Army", they not only got food and clothing, but also were incorporated into the ranks of young soldiers to practice literature and martial arts every day.
There is no problem with their obedience, they have no relatives, they live in the barracks and eat in the barracks have long been accustomed to acting in unison, and the possibility of leaking secrets is minimal.
Huang Han handed over these children to the three old apprentices to call, and it was also conditional for them to work with them for a year and study with them for a year, if these children could not write 500 words silently after a year, the old apprentices would be mistaken children.
Li Zhonghua, Li Zhongzi and Wu Youxing are all scholars, and they all have at least a reputation for showing talents, and their knowledge is very different from that of other people.
Because they are all talents in Jiangnan, Li Zhonghua and Li Zhongzi are students in Songjiang Mansion, and Wu Youxing is in Suzhou Mansion.
The three of them saw that the teacher handed over more than 100 teenagers to them, and asked them to teach the children to read and read with their hearts.
Huang Han asked the young apprentices to block the scene, and at this moment, there were only three old apprentices watching by his side.
He explained to Li Zhongzi and the others that the smallpox virus was just an innocuous pox in cows, and then he used a needle to puncture the pustules of cowpox.
Immediately after the three old apprentices watched him, he pricked the needle stained with cowpox on the outside of his left arm, Huang Han clearly remembered that he had been planted with cowpox in this position in his previous life, leaving an obvious scar.
Li Zhonghua, Li Zhongzi and Wu Youxing all stared intently, they were all doctors, of course they knew that the master's action meant that he had been infected with the pox virus.
Huang Han smiled and asked the three old apprentices, "Are you afraid?" Do you dare to pierce? ”
The three of them did not hesitate to roll up their sleeves and expose their left arms and said: "The master dares, of course we dare more, please do it." ”
Huang Han said with a smile while piercing: "There is really no danger, it's just that the location where someone is pierced may be rotten and it will hurt for a few days, and the scar left is deeper."
You have all experimented yourself, and you will observe it for yourself for a few more days, and you will have to think about how to send more people to inoculate the entire Red Flag Army with pox without letting people know that the pox is so easy to find. ”
In order to prevent the young soldiers of the two general banners from contracting smallpox when they collected pox seeds, Huang Han proposed that 112 children be given pox vaccinations at once.
The three old apprentices thought that this was the right thing to do, and they collected the pox seeds by themselves, and Huang Han gathered the four teenagers to work together to give them a needle one by one.
