Chapter 222: The Living Should Be Like This
Not to mention that this "universal mourning of the world" is only Confucius's subjective understanding, in fact, the customs are different from place to place. If all the families of the deceased have served three years of mourning, and the weeping has decayed, who will farm the land, who will enlist in the army, and who will build the township?
Therefore, this point was not negotiable, so Zhao Wuxian taught Zigong a lesson and tried to reverse his three views.
"I have heard that Confucius is so retro, so Zigong should know the burial method of the three generations of holy kings. Now that the dead have been buried, the living should not weep for a long time, but should hasten to perform their duties, so that everyone can do their own good. ā
"Therefore, in Chengxiang, the retro ceremony is a must, but what I want to restore is the gift of the holy king in the three generations, the death of the parents, the death of the third brother in March, and the death of the third brother, and the crying and mourning of the three days!"
Zigong was speechless, three generations of ancient rites?
The master once said: "Xia Li, I can say it, but it is not enough to levy." Yin Li, I can say it, Song is not enough. The literature is insufficient. ā
Even the Xia Li and Yin Li thousands of years ago are gradually unverifiable, where can Tang Yao and Yu Shun verify it? Is the gentleman talking nonsense, or is the Zhao family, as a thousand-year-old clan, really keep documents in the Tibetan room of the lower palace?
In short, for Zhao Wuxian, who is extremely realistic, the master's rhetoric does not seem to be easy to convince him, and this admonition is only half successful, so Zigong can't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.
When Zhao Ying entered the Qiqi Palace, he also brought the doctor Bian Que and Le Lingzi to treat Le Qi. And Bian Que's two apprentices, Yang and Zibao, were invited by Zhao Wuxian to go to Chengxiang to do follow-up treatment for the villagers who were injured a few days ago.
So. After the beginning of winter, when Ziyang and Zibao came to Chengxiang. I saw the people in the township who had just buried their relatives and shouted "The soul returns". They had wiped away the tears from which they had wept for three days. Start harvesting corn and smile for a good harvest.
Because the gentleman said such a sentence to them after presiding over Lun's funeral and memorial service.
"The dead are long, and the living should be like this!"
The dead have left us, and the living must live stronger and better!
In the previous war, the enemy chose a flat corn field to assemble, charge, and retreat, destroying thousands of acres of fields, and it was necessary to put it in the past. These losses have to be swallowed by the people themselves.
But this time it was different, the gentleman promulgated the law of "subsidy": all economic losses suffered during the war, such as the collapse of houses, the destruction of acres, the death and injury of cattle and sheep, etc., can be reported to the officials and the township Situ, and the township temple will compensate one by one after verification!
Therefore, after Ziyang and Zibao arrived in Chengxiang, they were first amazed at the rapid recovery of people's livelihood after the war, and along the way, they saw the people spontaneously drive the prisoners who had become gangsters to repair the wall. Harvest the corn. And after stepping into the newly set up "medical hall", the two were even more surprised.
Although the current north is shrouded in the shadow of the Jin and Qi hegemony, it is still a relatively peaceful era, and there is a bit of a moral bottom line emphasized by Sima Fali between the Xia. So the scale and lethality of the war are smaller.
But in the south, the Chu people, who have been Huaxia, and the barbarian Wu people who do not pay any attention to etiquette. Only three years ago there was a protracted war, and the corpses were thousands of miles away. Murderous city. Yibian Que also took Ziyang and Zibao to the Tang and Cai areas in the center of the war, and entered several barracks where the wounded were housed. Under the guidance of Yi Bian Que, he personally experienced the treatment of ulcers.
The Chinese character "medicine" and "disease" are both derived from "arrow", that is, arrow, so from the beginning of the emergence of Yiyang Yang, it has a close relationship with war.
In the princely countries, there are four types of official doctors, namely: food doctors, who are responsible for the dietary maintenance of the nobles, equivalent to ancient nutritionists; Disease doctor, responsible for treating headaches, brain fever and other diseases for Chinese people; Veterinarians, who treat horses, cattle and sheep in the gardens and stables.
Finally, there is the ulcer doctor, who is the disease of gold ulcers, broken ulcers, swollen ulcers, and ulcers. These four types of ulcers are open wounds, fracture wounds, local swelling from blunt object blows, subcutaneous hemorrhage, and surgical infections, so ulcer doctors are equivalent to surgeons in later generations.
But the immediate treatment of these specialized surgeons after the injury was enjoyed by the distinguished doctors. Ordinary soldiers are not so lucky, although they will not be abandoned immediately, they will only be assigned to the care of witch doctors and alchemists with poor skills.
Usually, in the Zhuxia army, each division is set up with "three Fangshi, who set up a hundred medicines to cure gold sores and cure all diseases." "However, these half-witch and half-doctor colleagues, Yi Bian Que and his two disciples, all look down on them very much.
Therefore, the situation in Tang and Cai Shuboli at that time will never be forgotten: one hundred and ten wounded soldiers lying on the bunks of several dimly lit barracks with sluggish faces, blood flowing sideways, the air is filled with the stench of decay, and the sound of wailing and mourning fills the small space.
The weapons of this era were lethal enough, and after each battle, they often killed some of the dead, as well as many more wounded.
The seriously injured who had broken their stomachs and legs were carried directly to the outside of the corpse pit to die, and their cries became quieter and quieter.
Those who have suffered four non-fatal injuries will be treated simply by witch doctors and alchemists. Generally, the plant ash is mixed with water to form a paste, applied to the wound, and then covered with a random kudzu cloth, which is enough to stop the bleeding.
Then, it's up to fate.
Injured people often die because of the deterioration of the wound, and if they don't die, their entire arms and legs will rot. After the treatment of the injured, there are two different outcomes, recovery and tragic death, witch doctors and alchemists, and even professional ulcer doctors cannot figure out the cause.
They generally believe that this is the work of ghosts and gods, and they don't think of any good way, but just let the injured person and his family pray every day, pinning their hopes on the illusory great and young priest's forgiveness.
So at the beginning, Ziyang and Zibao thought that in this remote place, there were only a few wild witch Zhu, although a few ulcer doctors had been transferred from the lower palace, but the situation was probably similar to the methods used by Tang and Cai to treat wounds.
However, the two of them were very wrong.
With the "generous" dedication of Cheng Wu and Cheng Jun, this medical hall was built in the original Cheng manor. The location is remote and quiet, and there is no usual foul and rancid smell or wailing, but it is very neatly set up.
Ziyang stood outside the medical hall. Looking at the three circles of white ash on the yellow earth, he habitually squatted down and sniffed it. Xiang asked Cheng Shu, who led the way, "This is clam ash?" ā
The so-called "mirage" and "clam ash" are actually lime powder in later generations. In the Spring and Autumn period, people already knew that lime could be used for disinfection. In the palace of the Son of Heaven and the princes, there was a special official "Chi Ya Ba clan", who was in charge of the cleanliness of the walled house, and they painted the walls with "mirage" and splashed the surroundings with "clam ash" to remove poisonous insects.
It's just that the material of the burnt is not limestone, but oyster shells and clam shells from the seashore.
These raw materials are abundant in Qi country. However, it is relatively scarce in the Central Plains, and things are scarce, and only the Marquis of Jin and the doctors of Liuqing can afford to use them. Therefore, although Ziyang and Zibao knew the efficacy of this thing, they never thought that it could be used for the isolation of injuries.
"I have heard of the wealth of the township, but when I see it today, it is indeed so"
Zibao, who was greedy for money, couldn't help but sigh, Zhao's generous shot in this treatment had already made him dumbfounded. After Zhao Ying woke up. In order to thank Yi Bian Que for his recovery, he waved his hand and gave him 40,000 acres of fertile land, with a township and city. There are also countless good horses, chariots, and money. Even the position of chief medical officer of the lower palace is vacant.
Yi Bian Que was used to freedom, so he naturally excused himself one by one, saying that after the diagnosis and treatment of Le Qiā„ he would leave the Jin Kingdom and continue to travel westward. Go to the Qin Kingdom.
Zibao was excited, and in this legendary place of origin of wheat flour and porcelain, it was too luxurious to be able to use a large amount of clam ash to isolate the residence of the wounded soldiers!
But Cheng Yan, who led the way, smiled when he heard this: "Two gentlemen, this thing is not clam ash, but burnt from the white stone dug up from the mountain, and the gentleman calls it lime." ā
White stone, is the name of limestone at this time, although it has been occasionally used since prehistoric times, but no one has ever figured out that this thing and clam ash are originally a kind.
In addition to practicing medical treatment, doctors also have to learn to collect medicinal materials, in addition to herb medicine and animal medicine, there are also a lot of gold and stone materials. So Ziyang Zibao naturally knows what Baishi is, but this is the first time he has heard of such a usage, and he can't help but be surprised.
When they entered the hospital, they saw that it was in order, busy and unhurried: ditches were dug everywhere, clean water was brought in with clay pipes, and the pungent smell of vinegar and pepper filled the air.
Boiling water was boiled in a cauldron in the cook's stove, and the wounded were basking in the sun on a strangely shaped "couch", with no despair or sadness on their faces, but joking and laughing with the young woman who had changed the cloth belt for herself.
Their gentlemen stood in the courtyard covered with kudzu and linen cloth, and gave detailed instructions to Cheng Wu and the medical officials of the lower palace.
"All the people here are for the sake of the Zhao family, for the sake of me for the wounds, must be well cared for, the promised rewards will be doubled, each person will be given half a liter of wine every day, a tael of meat, and half a bucket of powder. The medical officer must not be lazy in administering medicine, so that the village officials will inspect the injuries and illnesses twice a day, and if there is anything, immediately go to the village temple to report to me! ā
These days, every time he comes to this medical center to inspect, Zhao Wuxian's heart is full of regrets.
After a journey, he learned the cruelty of suffering from injuries and diseases in ancient times: after the first batch of war dead were buried, there were more headaches for more than 100 wounded, among which those who were seriously injured with broken stomachs and broken legs, and several people died.
In desperation, Zhao Wuxian was determined to save the lives of the remaining injured.
However, relying on the medical methods and ideas that have just started in this era, but are extremely backward in the eyes of modern people, will not work!
Therefore, while running around for the interests of the Zhao family, he created a military doctor in Chengxiang who began to take shape. Although he doesn't understand medical skills, he understands simple medical theory, and with the bits and pieces of common sense he knew in his previous life, he can be used to save emergencies.
The recruitment of Ziyang and Zibao is to use these top doctors in the Spring and Autumn Period to pick up and fill in the gaps for themselves.
He finally said solemnly: "Please believe me, no matter how painful it is, you must persevere, as long as you take care of it carefully, except for those who are too seriously injured, there is no one who can't be saved. ā
If someone else said such a terrifying thing, the townsmen and the people naturally didn't believe it, but the gentleman was different. Because in their eyes, a gentleman is a person who can mobilize the power of ghosts and gods and lead down the thunder of the sky, and he can naturally go against the sky!
The wounded in the hospital tensed their faces and shouted in unison: "This life is owned by a gentleman from now on!" We will never admit defeat, we will never wait for the dead to be long, and the living should be like this! ā(
