Chapter 439: Spirit Magpie (I)

PS: Chapter 2 is after dinner

After the time entered the second half of December, the epidemic in Qinyi was basically extinct.

Although there were hundreds of nameless graves in the wilderness, most of them were captured by the Qi people, and the survivors, under Zhao Wuxian's intentional propaganda, learned that the territory of Qi was also plagued by typhoid fever, resulting in thousands of deaths, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to think about returning home, so they spent this winter honestly in Qinyi and Xilu Geyi for the time being.

They even began to rejoice that they could be captured by the Zhao soldiers after the defeat, after all, the highest-ranking person among the Qi captives, Qi Gongzi Yangsheng, was also forced to come forward and preach the Zhao family's captivity policy to them.

"The Zhao clan will not abuse the captives wantonly, but the food and medicine you eat these days are not free......

The less than 5,000 Qi soldiers became free laborers, repairing the city defenses, and helping the villages to rebuild the houses destroyed by the Qi army when they went south. After the beginning of spring, some of them will be redeemed, but most of them may have to leave the Eastern Kingdom forever and follow Zhao Ying back to Jinyang, thousands of miles away.

As the patients in the quarantine area gradually recovered and left, Bian Que's treatment pressure was also reduced a lot, and he had more time to write the booklet on how to prevent and treat typhoid fever. At this moment, he knelt behind the desk, picked up a pen and wrote on the smooth vellum paper, and there were disciples on the side to help pass on the copy.

Paper is a good thing, inferior hemp paper can be used to wrap loose medicinal herbs, medium public paper can be used to copy medical books, whether it is writing or reading transmission, it is more convenient than bulky brochures. But this thing has only appeared for a short time, and everyone is not used to it, so they will also carve a copy on the bamboo slip. Hidden in the treasury.

"In winter, it is bitterly cold, and all kinds are hidden. If a gentleman is solid, he will not be hurt by the cold. The one who touched it. It is called typhoid ear. The middle is the sick, the name is typhoid fever; If you are not sick, the cold poison hides in the skin, and it becomes a warm disease in the spring, and a summer disease becomes a summer disease......"

After writing this sentence, Bian Que looked up at Zhao Wuxian on the opposite table and said, "Is this true little gentleman?" Is Zhao really willing to let some of the disease doctors go with us to Suju to help the epidemic? ”

Zhao Wuxian was still dressed in warm and thick clothes today, sat opposite Bian Que with a smile on his face, and said after bowing respectfully: "Don't look at the master sitting in peace these days." But the boy knew that the plague and disaster that the master had thought about in his heart had already been anxious. Although the master and his disciples had exquisite medical skills, they were only a few people, and the number of people who had more than 1,000 patients was a drop in the bucket, and they couldn't keep busy at all. "Yes, it's still the little gentleman's thoughtfulness." "My father and son are so gracious to my master, how can I not do anything? And it is not only the doctors who are traveling with the disease, but also the soldiers. "Soldiers? What do you do to save the epidemic and lead the soldiers? Bian Que's eyes flashed. was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Wuxian. "After the catastrophe, there must be a lot of chaos around Suju, and there are some remnants of Qi by the causeway. There were bandits who escaped from Onozawa, and there were also people who were so hungry that they robbed people when they saw them, so they needed to be protected by soldiers along the way. And the doctor believes in witches and not doctors. has always turned a blind eye to the application of medicine to extended medicine, and it is difficult to say that he will intervene to stop it. It's like he rejected my anti-epidemic advice and detained the messenger. So when the time comes. I can't say that I have to rely on Zhao Bing to force him to comply. Once the disaster relief began, the construction of porridge sheds and the place where the medicine was administered required labor, and when the time came, it would be necessary to rely on the Zhao soldiers. ”

You must know that when the Celestial Empire encountered a famine in the later generations, the basic ones who fought on the front line were the "people's soldiers", and the sacrifice was naturally inevitable, but the results were also great. Therefore, Zhao Wuxian also intended to follow suit when treating the epidemic, and Zhao Bing, who was stationed in Qinyi, was relatively strong and had survived the epidemic of typhoid fever, and the probability of contracting the disease would be low if he went again.

Although Bian Que is worried that behind this "armed epidemic rescue", Zhao's father and son also have different intentions, but what Zhao Wuxian said is reasonable, and he can't deny it. It's just that there is still some reluctance in my heart, reluctant to let the simple act of saving the epidemic be used by politicians.

In this way, when Bian Que's selfless "humanitarianism" met Zhao Wuxian's conspiracy, the scene was a little silent and deadlocked for a while, and only the rustling of Bian Que's disciples in the house could be heard copying books and pounding medicine.

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Wuxian spoke again, although he didn't know what impact this idea would have on Bian Que and the times. "Don't mention these, the kid still has an idea, I want to talk about it and discuss it with the master, but what?"

Bian Que was still thinking about the benefits and harms of letting the Zhao family intervene in this epidemic treatment, so he vaguely agreed.

What he didn't expect was that this was an epoch-making dialogue, and the impact was as far-reaching as the time when Zhao Wuxian put forward the "Theory of Delicate Gu Causing Disease" in front of him!

……

The snow has stopped falling, although the people of Lu have lived the New Year of the Lu calendar, and now it has already reached the tenth year of the Luhou Song Dynasty, but the Zhao soldiers are Jin people, and they have lived the summer calendar, so they are close to the New Year, and it is the day of the wax sacrifice, although they are in a foreign land, the camp also distributes some wine and food, and it is lively. The Qi captives could only swallow their saliva and continue to do the arranged labor.

Qinyi was now in a precious period of peace, but it was only a short truce, and even Zhao Wuxian did not know how the next war would unfold, and eventually evolve into a great war that swept the entire Central Plains.

He came back to his senses from the comfortable truce atmosphere outside the window, and said to Bian Que: "It is rumored that when Zong Zhou Lile is especially alive, the gentleman will not be seriously injured when he fights, and he will not capture two cents. Although Song Xianggong imitated this move and was ridiculed as pedantic, if the princes and ladies could do the same, the death of the people in the war might be much reduced. “

Bian Que sighed with emotion: "It's impossible, the years when the alliance of soldiers was still maintained were good, but since the Wu division entered Ying, as far as the old man has seen, Wu and Chu are vying for capture, the military revolution is even higher, and the cities between Huai and Han are slaughtered. This time the Qi State attacked Yiyi, and the defeat of the Zhao family was the same as that of Xilu. The army of defeat, the dead cover the grass, and the corpses are tens of thousands; If it is a year of famine, the hungry will be full of roads, warm and epidemic, and thousands of households will be wiped out, which is the norm. "Why bother?"

The concept of unification that penetrated into the bone marrow of later generations and the rich cultural edification made Zhao Wuxian look at Wu Yue, who was a barbarian in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, regardless of Jin, Qi, Qin, Chu, and even Wu Yue, who was a barbarian in the eyes of the Central Plains people in the Spring and Autumn Period, even though they are enemies and competitors of each other now, but there is not much of this frontier and the other world. There will be no cruel thoughts of destroying his country and his people.

Because he knows that it doesn't take centuries. When the first empire of the Qin and Han dynasties was formed, the above states and ethnic groups would truly merge into the great China.

In the war for hegemony and reunification, there will be casualties. However, tragic casualties such as Yique's beheading of 240,000 and Changping's burial of 400,000 bones, even if the account is exaggerated, even if it is reasonable for its time, in the eyes of Wu Xian, every life that died after the war is extremely regrettable.

What is the suffering of the country of the crown and belt?

Anyway, he will never go beyond his bottom line and do "human slaughter".

The previous feeling was not obvious, but the battle of the Snow Field was the largest battle in which Zhao Wuxian had ever participated, and thousands of casualties were killed and wounded on the spot on both sides of Qi and Zhao. Many more died after the war. The wails and screams in the wounded barracks, as well as the smell of death with corruption, made Zhao Wuxian who was patrolling there deeply impressed and worried.

Fortunately, there was Bian Que, which reduced Zhao Bing's casualties to a certain extent.

What is the suffering of this age than war? The epidemic swept by, and it was the norm for the population of one town to disappear into two or three percent.

Wu Xi said: "However, just like the poem: Min Tian is mighty, and Tian Du is mourning; I am hungry, and my people are in exile. Originally, these were given by the emperor of the Zhou family. This is one of the obligations of a man and a democrat. But after King Ping moved eastward, Lile conquered from the princes, and the overlord was prosperous. So he helped the princes. The responsibility of preventing and controlling epidemics and famines also fell on Uncle Hou, and Qi Huan Gong and Guan Zi did very well back then. "When it came to the Jin and Chu rivalries, there was also an alliance on the First Song Alliance. Said: Fan Jin and Chu have no one to add to each other, and they have the same likes and dislikes. Sympathize with disasters and prepare for the rescue. In those years, there was a famine among the royal families and princes. The marquis of Jin or the ruling party would still summon the princes to jointly transport millet and send labor to the rescue. “

These covenants at the First Soldier Conference were still valid at the Second Soldier Meeting, and those forty years were a rare good era in the Central Plains. Uncle Xiang, Ji Zha, Zisheng, and Yan Ying have four masterpieces; It is no coincidence that Lao Tzu, Confucius, Bian Que, Deng Xi and other people who opened a hundred schools of thought in later generations also grew up in this era. "But now that the princes have also lost their power, the Lile expedition is made by the Qing doctor, to put it mildly, among the six secretaries of the Jin State, except for my Zhao family, who still has a heart for the state, the rest are happy to fight privately and lack justice. As a result, no one presided over the measures to sympathize with the disaster and prepare for the culprit. Therefore, as Yan Zi and Uncle Xiang said to the doctor, now it is really the season of the world, there is a plague this year, and there are many people who are industrious and frozen, and there are countless people who turn to death in the ravine, and those who see it are pitiful. Although I am a Qing clan and a doctor, the same is true. “

Zhao Wuxian said sincerely, Bian Que also forgot Fang Cai's little unhappiness, he knew that Wuxian had the most novel ideas and ideas, so he asked anxiously: "What does the little gentleman think should be done to save this season and make the people suffer less?" “

If his arrival only brought suffering to the times, Zhao Wuxian did not feel that he was any different from those tyrants of history. Perhaps, in addition to selfish competition, it is time to do something for this era?

In this era of idealistic civilization, he, a man full of reality, has ideals from time to time, and it is also an opportunity to change the world. "Famine, disease, and plague are suffering, and this is the common sorrow of the ministers, lords, and scholars, since the Son of Heaven, the overlord, and the princes cannot preside over the rescue, it is better to ...... It's better to let the scholars save themselves! It's like the Master is now walking the nations to save the dead and the wounded! “

Bian Que was a little discouraged, he sighed: "Just like the little gentleman said before, I only have a few disciples to follow, and I have to treat the local doctors and nobles everywhere I go, so as to win their favor and then give it to the people." It can save 10 people and 100 people, but it can't save 100000 people......"

Zhao Wuxian leaned forward and slapped his hands directly on the desk. "But what if the master is the leader and more like-minded scholars are called on among the princes? If it is like this treatment of Qin Yi, and then the treatment of Xu Ju, what if I have the Zhao family behind the back? “

Zhao Wuxian's words opened a new door for Bian Que, and the old doctor's eyes began to light up and he began to get excited! "What if we could set up an organization of doctors who crossed the boundaries of states, did not get involved in the war, only helped the wounded and sick after the war, and walked among the people to extend the medical treatment!?" (To be continued......)
