Chapter 124: Sanitation Campaign

Liu Yong nodded, and said with a straight face: "Everything has a cause and there must be an effect, and everything has an effect." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf illness is a cause, then what is a cause? The reason is that there is no hygiene or that there is no condition to pay attention to hygiene. Most diseases, including epidemics, furuncles and other alarming diseases, are closely related to everyone's hygiene habits. In other words, under the same conditions, the main reason why some people often get sick and others live a long and healthy life is the problem of hygiene. ”

Everyone was stunned, even more inexplicable, and couldn't understand what Liu Yong meant.

Liu explained: "Why are the poor more susceptible to disease and shorter lifespans than the rich? If you think about it carefully, you can understand that poor families can only drink unclean raw water and eat stale food, and it is impossible to clean their hands before eating, brush their teeth and wash their faces before getting up and going to bed. Of course, it's not that poor families don't pay attention to hygiene, they lack food and clothing, and it's good to be able to avoid the cold and eat half full, let alone take a bath and change clothes frequently. ”

"This is what Taishou is talking about hygiene, right?" It was the doctor Cao Pengshi who spoke.

"Exactly. Good hygiene habits, once developed, will benefit you for the rest of your life. Of course, this is only part of the story. Liu Yong nodded, "Why can't you spit, untie your hands anywhere, and not litter?" Why do we need to kill rats, flies, mosquitoes? Liu Yong tries to make his explanations as easy to understand, "As the saying goes, 'people gather by like, and things are grouped'." In the same way, the plague likes to be around these filthy things. Think about it, is it true that the more dirty the family and environment, the more patients there are? ”

Everyone pondered for a while, and this is indeed the truth. Everyone exchanged a few words and nodded their heads.

"Therefore, as long as we love cleanliness, pay attention to hygiene, and stay away from those dirty things, we will not be easy to get sick."

"So what should we do?" After listening to Liu Yong's explanation, everyone was a little moved.

"There are two steps: one is to enact the Public Health Convention so that everyone in the province can act in compliance; The second is to carry out a number of measures to improve the environment. Here I have drawn up a convention, and I will read it......"

Public Health Convention - To promote the economic and social development of the Plateau. The people live a healthy life, build a clean and beautiful living environment, create a good public morality, and enhance physical fitness. To increase life expectancy, the following health conventions have been formulated by the government of the county government of Yuhara:

1. The whole people should develop the concept that it is glorious to stress hygiene and shameful not to pay attention to hygiene, and consciously abide by the health convention;

2. Wash your hands frequently, wash your feet frequently, cut your nails frequently, and bathe frequently. Brush your teeth morning and evening;

3. Dishes and chopsticks should be cleaned, boiled and disinfected, do not drink raw water, and do not eat dirty things;

Fourth, do not untie your hands, do not spit, do not litter;

Fifth, the front and back of each household and the courtyard are their own responsibility, to achieve no garbage, no sewage, no sludge, adhere to a small cleaning every day, a big cleaning every week;

6. Those who spit or litter in public places shall be given criticism and education, and shall be fined 10 copper coins; Those who defecate in the open will be given criticism and education. A fine of fifty copper coins. If the offender refuses to change or the circumstances are serious, he may be fined twice as much, notified by the whole county, and paraded in the streets;

"In fact, the most hateful thing is to be relieved everywhere." Liu Yong hated, "To be honest, I really want to write like this." If it is convenient to untie his pants on the spot, he will 'click' and cut his ******. ”

Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and Liu Yong also laughed: "Of course, it's just a joke." ”

"It's good to abide by this convention too much, but the lower officials are a little worried." Doctor Cao Pengshi raised his own question, "The elderly have poor memory. Those habits have been with him for decades, and it is not easy to change. Children can't distinguish between things, and most of them do things casually, and it is difficult to obey the rules and disciplines. ”

"Can you be open to the elderly and children?" Someone suggested. The others whispered for a while. They all echoed it.

Liu Yong hesitated for a while, he really didn't think about it very carefully at the time, and when he was about to answer, Yu interjected: "I don't think it's necessary." If this is the case, I am afraid that this measure will be difficult to implement and will end in nothing. I think it can be like this. If the old man violates it, his son shall be punished on his behalf; If a child makes a mistake, his father suffers on his behalf. As the saying goes, 'The son does not teach the fault of the father', and 'the father pays for the son'. ”

Yu's proposal was recognized by everyone, and Liu Yong added this paragraph. Not long after, notices were posted in all pavilions of the Rakhara Prefecture promulgating the "Public Health Convention of Rakhara Prefecture", and the pavilion chief was responsible for informing every household and person, and holding various forms of publicity, education and training, so that this convention could penetrate into the hearts of everyone.

The first 10 days after the promulgation are the stage of publicity and self-reform, and after the official implementation, as long as you violate a certain item, such as unwinding in the alley, a person wearing a red armband will come out of the cold, and say with a straight face: You have violated the health convention and will be fined 50 yuan. What the? You don't have any money. Then put on this hat and take the little red flag to catch others, when you are caught, when you can go; If you don't catch it for a day, then I'm sorry, you'll have to work all day. Of course, in the process of implementation, it will also be humane, for example, if you inadvertently lose some peels, you immediately realize your mistakes, and immediately pick up only criticize education, no longer fine.

At the same time, Liu Yong also made a rational layout in the county, building public health service facilities such as garbage ponds, peel baskets, public toilets, and public bathrooms, and at the same time changing open ditches into culverts, removing garbage in a timely manner, eradicating places where flies and mosquitoes breed, and carrying out campaigns to eliminate rodents, flies, and mosquitoes. In addition, a strict order was issued to prohibit the raising of edible livestock in the central area of the city, and the traditional free-range breeding method was changed to large-scale breeding, which is convenient for unified management and unified control.

Of course, the above measures only have a significant effect on general epidemic diseases, and they are still somewhat powerless against infectious diseases known as plague diseases in ancient times, especially virulent infectious diseases. Liu Yong also screened several prescriptions that were effective for typhoid fever and epidemic from the previous Chinese veterinarians' prescriptions, and distributed them free of charge in each season, so that they could always have a plan and be able to deal with them at all times.

At first, most people were still a little unaccustomed to it, and even a little resistant, after all, everyone has lived like this for thousands of years. However, after a period of time, seeing that the streets were clean and orderly, the environment was clean, and there were many fewer annoying pests, I also deeply felt the benefits of hygiene, and began to support this policy from the bottom of my heart.

Liu Yong and Yu changed into civilian clothes and went on a field trip in the city, and they were overjoyed to see that the environment was completely new. The two found a window seat on the second floor of the teahouse, and observed the people passing by the window while sipping tea. Although there are still a few violations in the flow of people who come and go, there are fewer and fewer such cases. It shows that the effect of severe punishment is obvious, and people's hygiene habits have been greatly improved.

Liu Yong nodded secretly, everything is difficult at the beginning, this is already much better than he expected. Liu Yong also smiled when he saw Yu Xuan. Then he said: "Duke Yu, now that the politics of Yuyuan are clear, the treasury is full, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and live a prosperous life, I want to issue another measure to benefit the country and the people, what do you think?" ”

Yu chuckled and said, "Childe, please speak." ”

Liu Yong smirked and said, "I want to implement insurance." This is what Liu Yong wants to do in his dreams. When he was in Xuzhou, he proposed it to Mi Zhu, but was shattered by the ruthless reality. Now that the society is stable and the people are rich, it should be possible to implement it, right?

"Insurance?" Yu was stunned, "What does this mean?" ”

Liu Yong smiled lightly and said, "The insurance is that people pay us some money and sign a contract with us." The person who pays is called the policyholder, we collect the money and take responsibility and call it the insurance company, and the money that pays is called the insurance premium. This contract is called an insurance contract. Yu was confused when he heard it, but he had seen too many of Liu Yong's whimsical ideas, and he only needed to listen patiently to understand it.

Sure enough, Liu Yong continued: "The insurance contract is to stipulate that the policyholder and the insurance company will compensate for the property damage and health status caused by an accident within the time specified in the contract, including accidental injury, illness, death, etc. To put it simply, insurance is about spending money to buy peace for a period of time. There are many kinds of insurance, such as illness insurance, accident insurance, pension insurance, ......" Liu Yong gave an example of the basic characteristics of insurance, and said: "Why do people buy insurance? It is to transfer one's own risk and minimize it. Will the insurance company lose money? No, because insurance spreads the losses of a few people among a large number of policyholders. As a result, the loss that is unbearable for the individual becomes the loss that the majority of the people can bear, which is actually an equal distribution of the loss to the policyholder with the same risk. And insurance is composed of many entities, and there are very few that really have to be paid. Ultimately. The premium paid will be much higher than the insurance company's compensation, and this difference is our profit. ”

Liu Yong's face was excited, and he continued: "Gong Yu, now we have too much money to make a living, porcelain, medicine and wine, and banks...... We've accumulated so much wealth, and I want to combine it with the sanitation campaign. Get another medical insurance, so that our people can also get some benefits. ”

Yu was stunned and said, "Isn't this insurance different?" Not to make money? ”

Liu Yong smiled: "This one is almost unprofitable. It is to let each citizen pay a small amount of money, and if he falls ill at any time in the future, we will pay most of the money to help him heal, which can greatly reduce their burden. Of course, if he hadn't been sick for the rest of his life, the money would have been given to us for nothing. Of course, this is very rare. ”

Yu frowned and was silent for a while.

Liu Yong did not wait for the expected excitement on Yu Turn's face, but instead looked solemn, worried in his heart, and asked, "Yu Gong, what do you think is wrong?" ”

Yu hesitated and said: "Childe, it is said that you are the highest official of the Yuan, as a subordinate, I should have obeyed unconditionally......"

Liu Yong saw Yu tumbling and spitting, and immediately understood what he meant, so he said: "Duke Yu, there is something between us that can't be said explicitly." If you have any concerns, just say it. ”

Yu Chuan sighed: "Childe, Yu Tuo doesn't understand your heart of love for the people. However, although this policy was good, it could not be implemented in the Lord's Plain. ”

"Why is that?" Liu Yong was stunned when he heard this.

"My son-in-law. The land was lightly requisitioned and lightly served, and it was only used according to the amount of money, which attracted a large number of people from other places, and it was already overwhelmed. Now that more measures are being given to benefit the people, may I ask the son, is it enjoyed by the local people or all of them? If it is only locals, it is easy to cause conflicts between the two sides; If you have all of them, I'm afraid that a large number of people will flock to it, and it will be unbearable. ”

Liu Yong was stunned when he heard this, and he was hit twice in succession. Seeing that Liu Yong didn't speak for a long time, Yu Pan couldn't bear it in his heart, and enlightened: "Son, Yu Pan also thinks that this strategy is very good, but the time has not yet come, and it can only be implemented after the unification of the country." ”

Liu Yong nodded and sighed: "Gong Yu is right, I'm too anxious. ”

Yu laughed and said, "Childe, you should be in a hurry, not in a hurry." In my opinion, there is one thing you should do. ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Yong was stunned. (To be continued.) )
