Chapter 38 Year-end Meeting
"Zimei (Xie Xing), you should pay attention to whether anyone in the camp has typhoid fever, and if there are symptoms such as fever, immediately isolate and treat them, and burn their belongings and bury them deeply. Patrols should be strengthened in the battalion, and they must not be allowed to be linked to the epidemic. Liu Wei instructed very solemnly. There was no such thing as a vaccine at the end of the Han Dynasty. The development of traditional Chinese medicine is still in its infancy, and the disease of typhoid fever is like a sickle of death for the people of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Zhongjing was born in a family of eunuchs, so why did he suddenly study medicine? Zhang Zhongjing's family was originally a large family, with a population of more than 200 people, but under the continuous devastation of typhoid fever, two-thirds of the people died of the epidemic, of which seven-tenths died of typhoid fever! What a terrifying number. Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing made up his mind, studied medical skills, and traveled all over the world.
Even if he became the Taishou of Changsha, the wind could not blow, and the rain could not go away, he chose the first day and the fifteenth day of the first month of the month, opened the yamen widely, did not ask about political affairs, and let the sick people come in. Therefore, he wrote "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", which is a collection of medical theories since the Qin and Han dynasties and widely used in medical practice, which is one of the most influential classical medical works in the history of medicine in China and the first masterpiece in clinical therapy in China. He himself is also revered as a "medical saint", and he deserves it.
Xie Xingbai said: "I will live up to the trust!" ”
Liu Wei is not the kind of person who likes to hold everything in his hands, when his own affairs are spread out more and more, he will disperse the power to everyone, and grasp the main point by himself, which is the way of the emperor. If he was as diligent as Qin Shi Huang, Liu Wei still asked himself if he still couldn't do it. Therefore, he handed over the management of the refugees in Luoyang to Xie Xing. Luoyang Ling also responded to Liu Wei's ancestor, and specially transferred a lieutenant to serve as a soldier, which was specially handed over to Liu Wei for dispatch. Liu Wei handed it over to Xie Xing, who specially patrolled the refugee camp to deter the youngsters. The matter of tongue and throat propaganda was handed over to Zhong Xuan, and the system of storytellers had spread, and the Tongfu Inn, which was invincible in the same industry, collected information from all over the world was handed over to Zhong Xuan to sort out, pick out the key things under Liu Wei's orders, and report them to Liu Wei.
The importance of intelligence is absolute, and Taiping Dao thinks that they have been able to monitor Liu Wei's every move, and Liu Wei also listens to Taiping Dao's movements from the continuous "ears and eyes" of the Quartet.
Liu Wei set his sights on Huang Zhong again, and Liu Wei handed over the matter of Jingzhou's grain exchange to Huang Zhong, but Liu Wei knew that Huang Zhong was the most stressed, and those families were not easy to deal with, and the world was gradually chaotic, no matter which direction he went, it began to be not peaceful.
Huang Zhongyu said: "Your Highness, the grain has also been exchanged for Han paper from the hands of the major families in Jingzhou, and the subordinates are not effective, and they have been lost due to the attack and looting of bandits during the transportation. ”
Everyone knows that in a disaster year, grain is hard currency. On the one hand, Liu Wei asked the Huang family to sing white faces to communicate with the major families, and on the other hand, he was enthusiastic about the Han paper that has recently swept the entire Luoyang in Jingzhou, but he has not released it for sale. Han paper can be said to be "expensive for a while" in Jingzhou. When the fire was ripe, Liu Wei released the conditions again, and bartered with the major grain families at a price lower than that of Luoyang, and pulled out a lot of grain from their cellars.
Many families in Jingzhou are also unwilling to be toyed with, but several times they bought good paper from Luoyang and shipped it back to Jingzhou, first, the price supplied by Liu Wei outweighed the loss. And often "for no reason" is "laughed at" by some mountain kings. After a few times, they had to pinch their noses and recognize the position where Liu Bianqiang had inserted.
Liu Wei took over the "report" written by Huang Zhong, and the numbers on it still made Liu Wei a little frightened. What is heart-wrenching is not the number of grain losses, but the fact that every time grain is transported, it seems to be caught in the ocean of "people's war", and every trip is attacked by dozens of bandits. Although basically all of them are defeated. But it is conceivable that this pair of guards transporting grain is simply mentally devastating. Along the way, they even slept with weapons and armor in their arms. And the spirit has always been in a tense state, and from time to time I have to worry that a group of robbers will come out of somewhere on the road to rob money and food.
"Who are those bandits?"
"It's all ......" Huang Zhong couldn't open his mouth, but in the face of Liu Wei, he was already quite majestic, gritted his teeth and said, "They are all homeless people who have no food, the old, weak, sick and disabled kneel directly on the road, praying for life, their subordinates are soft-hearted, and some losses are sent to them by subordinates." ”
Although Huang Zhong is an iron-clad soldier, he may not blink in the face of the sword and sword. Huang Zhong himself watched his fellow villagers starve to death on the side of the road, but Huang Zhong still couldn't do it. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. Huang Zhong would rather be punished, rather than have a restless conscience for the rest of his life.
Liu Bianchang sighed and picked up Huang Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground: "What is the general's crime?" Aren't the people of Jingzhou the people of my Han Dynasty? ”
Liu Wei is not angry with Huang Zhong for helping the victims all the way to Jingzhou, if Liu Wei wants to watch those homeless people die on the side of the road with a heartfelt heart, he can't do it. Liu Wei was annoyed that the corpses of those local officials were vegetarian, and they were indifferent to the fact that there were many displaced people in his territory.
Alas...... In fact, Liu Wei also knew that the key was that there was a problem with the central government, and the struggle between the central court and court led to the negligent management of the localities, and the central government took turns to change the king, and the policies changed day by day, and the localities were happy to be left alone. Those who are not happy will not be able to get the help of the imperial court, so they can only cooperate with the clans, and when the clans come to a natural disaster, they will force the lower classes to annex their fields. And those people, whoever you call the emperor, you can't call whoever you want.
Since then, it has become bigger, and the people who can't find food have rebelled repeatedly, and the interests of the local clans have been harmed, and they are dissatisfied and blame the emperor, since the surname Liu is not good, let's find the surname Cao, the surname Sun, and the surname Sima, and finally there is a family that can meet their interests.
Leave some relief for the victims, just to alleviate the devastation of the Yellow Turban Uprising in Jingzhou. Nanyang's position in Liu Wei's eyes has always been as the external barrier of the capital and the external window of the economy. If you can reduce some of the damage, you can leave a little more vitality for the Han family.
"Let's talk about this, the Spring Festival is approaching, Zhu Qing has worked hard for a year, there is no way to repay it, each gentleman's house, the debate has sent two hundred gold and a number of Shu brocade horses for family use, and I hope you gentlemen will not refuse."
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed the horse. Liu Wei thought that those who worked hard for you were not saints, even if they asked for higher ambitions, not money, but there was no reason to ask people to do things for him hungry. Liu Wei himself is still just a small flame now, there are countless people snooping outside, even if he wants to step on his own position, he can also come to Luoyang from the Tiger Prison Pass, so Liu Wei must work hard to unite the people around him, in the change of Xuanwu Gate, why can Li Shimin ambush in the Xuanwu Gate in advance, you must know that Xuanwu Gate is not the outer door of a public place, as an important entry and exit place of the Forbidden Palace, and the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin has entered a white heat, and Li Jiancheng is actually defenseless, the reason is, The leader of the Xuanwu Sect is Chang He, who is Li Jiancheng's person, but this key figure has been bought by Li Shimin. History has created a "prosperous era of Kaiyuan" because of the name of a small person.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the season of military training is about to end, do you feel cool for those who have just entered school? Hahaha~
