Chapter 379: Hygiene

Unlike the educational reform and the official selection system, which caused a huge wave in the entire Yeongcheon County, the establishment of the Yeongcheon County Hospital did not cause much commotion.

With the basic solution of the problem of food and clothing for residents in Yingchuan County, especially in Yangzhai County, whether it is the original residents or the new residents of Xicheng District, or the people living around the wharf outside the city, they have a more urgent need to improve their quality of life, the most important of which is the urgent demand for their own life safety and physical health.

It has to be said that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, doctors have always been mysterious figures who are close to immortals. In the eyes of the ignorant world, medicine has always been a magical spell that can free people from the torment of illness, which has led to the association of doctors with religious activities such as sacrifices. Therefore, in ancient times, Wu Zhu, whose job was to serve the gods, could also give people a cure, and his status among the tribes was also very high. It is precisely because of this mystery and the lofty status of Wu Zhu that until the founding of New China, the witches and gods who are engaged in exorcism of ghosts and evil spirits are still all over the place.

In China, the art of medicine has even risen to the level of philosophy, dividing the five organs of the human body into the five elements, giving it a mystical character. In fact, in the final analysis, from a biological point of view, human beings, as a sophisticated and extremely complex creature, are inherently very mysterious, and if they can really break the secret of human existence and survival, it will also promote human beings' own understanding of the laws of the universe.

It is for this reason that in the eyes of ordinary people, medicine and even doctors are highly respected as a mysterious and noble special function and its performer. In the Qin Dynasty's three princes and nine qings system, there was a position of Fengchang among the nine qing, and according to legend, its official name was changed a lot, and it was called Taichang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was in charge of the ceremonial music and temple rituals. The so-called major affairs of the country are in the worship and Rong, which is too often in charge of the sacrificial business. Because doctors were also too common in the Han Dynasty and Han Dynasty, even the evaluation and recommendation of doctors and doctoral disciples were presided over by Taichang. Therefore, it has become an important institution for cultivating and promoting officials who are proficient in scripture.

In addition, in order to treat the injuries and illnesses of the royal family and the magnates, the imperial court also set up a special imperial physician order, and the subordinate officials who were specifically responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases were called imperial doctors. When people from local wealthy families are sick, they can invite people who know how to heal to go directly to their homes for treatment, and ordinary people and even poor children, if they are unfortunate enough to get sick, most of the time they rely on the earthwork and witches and gods that are spread in the streets.

Of course, some doctors have noble medical ethics, such as Zhang Zhongjing, who once served as a Taishou in Changsha and wrote "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", according to legend, he practiced medicine on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and did not take a penny. However, this is only a small number after all, and even if you sit in the hall every day, how many patients can be treated with the power of just one person?

Guo Bin returned to Yangzhai from the capital, so he had to make a detour to Jingmur Mountain to invite Fan A down the mountain, in order to set up a hospital in Yingchuan County to treat the common people. Hua Tuo's medical skills are exquisite, and his medical ethics are also admirable, but after all, he is a senior master in the rivers and lakes, how can he be a person who is easily driven by others? Besides, Hua Tuo once saved Guo Bin's life, Guo Bin was 100% respectful of him like a god, how could he bear to disturb the chic life of his old man's idle clouds and wild cranes? Fortunately, Fan A has followed Hua Tuo to practice medicine for many years, and he has been quite a true legend, so this time Guo Bin invited Fan A down.

Although Hua Tuo's Yimai medical technique is a solid traditional Chinese medicine, it also has some characteristics of Western medicine, and surgery alone will play an extremely important role on the battlefield. Historically, every war has had an extremely powerful impetus to the advancement of medicine, and this is especially true of surgery. In the coming chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the number of wounded in the war can be imagined, in order to save the lives of his elite soldiers, but also for his soldiers to exert stronger combat effectiveness, Guo Bin decided to set up a special public hospital.

This public hospital has the ability of clinical medicine, medical education, and medical research, and treats the wounded and sick of the common people in peacetime, and during the war, it will send medical teams to become doctors with the army. In addition, students will also be recruited to teach medical knowledge; Delve into the art of medicine and advance medicine and biology more quickly.

Don't underestimate the role of military doctors in war, having a military doctor in an army is like putting on a second layer of armor for the soldiers, because the soldiers know that even if they are injured, they don't have to worry about being thrown into the wounded barracks to die as before, the nurse group composed of young girls with good faces will take care of themselves, and the military doctor prepared by the lord will try their best to save their lives. Therefore, the soldiers will fight to the death, and naturally they will also exert unimaginable combat effectiveness.

It can be seen from this that a unit with extremely strong combat effectiveness cannot be built so simply. Perfect and fair rules of rewards and punishments, reasonable and scientific management system, precise and almost strict training requirements, sophisticated, solid and advanced equipment, and even nursing and medical conditions are all indispensable. Trying to train an elite soldier through rigorous training is treating war as a child's play.

Yingchuan County Public Hospital is located in the east of Yangzhai City, which is in the same direction as the pier on Yingshui. Because of the open terrain here, the scale of the hospital can be built to a large extent according to Guo Bin's requirements. This hospital not only has a teaching building, an outpatient department, and an inpatient department for patients, although it is far from the big hospitals of later generations, but it also has the posture of a later township hospital.

When Guo Bin went to Jingmuro Mountain, he sincerely told Hua Tuo the original intention of establishing Yingchuan County Hospital, and won his strong support, so Fang sent his proud disciple Fan A. At present, there is only one attending doctor in this hospital, and the other dozen or so barefoot doctors from the countryside recruited from nearby are temporarily following Fan A as assistants. In addition, Guo Bin also asked Fan A to select more than a dozen students from Yangzhai County School and Fulong Villa School, and follow Fan A to learn medical skills. Of course, Dong Xing'er's medical team that had been on the battlefield was also organized in the hospital to learn nursing and simple surgery. If Guo Bin hadn't been born, it would have been extremely difficult for these poor weak women to survive in the troubled times, how could they become "important figures" in the army and hospitals who have attracted much attention and can even have a relationship with the future "housewife" like now?

Whether it is martial arts or medicine, Chinese have always had the habit of keeping a hand, and they are afraid of teaching apprentices and starving their masters. However, although Hua Tuo is indeed a person in the rivers and lakes, he is very broad-minded, and he has never seen the door, otherwise he would not have taught him the precious five-bird opera in order to treat Guo Bin's illness. Therefore, Guo Bin is grateful to Hua Tuo and even the entire Jingmur Mountain.

In order to remind everyone of the concept of saving people in the hospital, a stone tablet was erected in front of the newly built Yingchuan County Public Hospital, on which were more than 20 words written by Guo Bin himself: "The upper is to cure the illness of the monarch's relatives, the lower is to save the poor and the lowly, and the middle is to ensure the growth and well-being, so as to nourish his body." ”

After the completion of the hospital, it immediately became the medical care center around Yangzhai County and even in the entire Yingchuan County. Although the ordinary people who have just basically solved the problem of food and clothing have not yet had the mind and leisure to go to the hospital for treatment, the wealthy families in Yingchuan County have become frequent visitors to the hospital. This is not to say that the rich people in Yingchuan are not in good health, in this era when food and clothing are still the highest pursuit of most people in the whole society, being able to eat enough and have meat to eat is a very luxurious life, and their physical fitness will naturally be higher. After all, even if it is a small and medium-sized landlord's house at this time, it is impossible to have meat to eat all of a sudden! The kind of "good life" where every meal has to have wine and meat is just the daily life of a very small number of top wealthy families.

However, under Guo Bin's deliberate guidance, it is difficult to say that the whole county of Yingchuan has changed, at least the dietary structure of the residents in Yangzhai County has changed greatly. With the rise of the construction industry and various industries and commerce in Yangzhai County, the population engaged in industry and commerce in Yangzhai County and nearby Changshe County has increased rapidly, and the secondary and tertiary industries such as major factories, restaurants, and restaurants have begun to have a shortage of labor, which also reflects the rapid increase in the proportion of non-agricultural population in Yangzhai County and Changshe County, and the proportion of hidden households confined to the land has naturally decreased.

With the rapid development of industry and commerce, people's living standards have improved, the dietary structure has undergone great changes, and high-protein foods such as dairy products and meat products have also entered the dining table of ordinary people. This has greatly improved the physical fitness of residents around Yangzhai County, and at the same time, the probability of their illness is naturally much lower. In the same way, the physical fitness of the wealthy families and the small and medium-sized landlords all over the countryside is naturally higher.

The public hospital of Yingchuan County attracted the wealthy families in Yingchuan County to come for treatment, but it still relied on the reputation of Fan A, a disciple of Jingmuro Mountain Huatuo. But as long as the family is thriving in one place, who doesn't have a little relationship in the rivers and lakes? Jingmuro Mountain Huatuo's medical skills are profound, proficient in internal, external, gynecology, pediatrics, acupuncture and moxibustion of various disciplines of the name is more famous than its unfathomable martial arts, Guo Bin actually said that his disciple Fan A came to Yangzhai to sit in the hall to practice medicine, these wealthy families have a headache and brain fever, naturally rush to send money!

In addition, coming to support Guo Bin's newly built hospital is also one of the ways for many wealthy families to show favor to Guo Bin. However, when Fan Ah performed his best acupuncture technique in front of everyone's eyes and pulled a seriously ill old man back from the line of death, the cheers became "superstition". Rich people are the most desperate for their lives, and many rich people who have no serious illness have to stay in the county hospital for two days before they can leave with peace of mind.

Of course, there is another important reason, which is the trust and support for Guo Bin's administrative measures. In the past two years, the wealthy families of Yingchuan County have followed Guo Bin, and they have made a lot of money, although their net worth has risen upwards, and their trust in Guo Bin's administrative measures is naturally very high. A consensus has quietly formed among the wealthy families in Yingchuan County: "If you want to make a lot of money, follow Guo Zhijun." Guo Bin's influence has quietly taken root in Yingchuan County, and the support of the people in Yingchuan County for him is naturally rising.

The so-called popular aspirations, today's Guo Bin has begun to emerge.
