Chapter 240: Kindness
"The last battle was just an ordinary small battle, General Luo Hongyingluo personally led his troops to fight, exterminated 3,000 Dawa tribes, and captured 1,000 prisoners, but we killed 2,000 on the spot, and 700 were injured, of which as many as 100 were seriously injured and physically disabled. Forrest Gump"
Gu Anran's eyebrows were dim, and he smiled bitterly, "In Dayong, we are singing and dancing, celebrating the big victory, who knows what a painful price we have paid for this victory." ”
"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and that's it." Gu Wan sighed, the Daqing Dynasty is not bad, the Mu family has always paid attention to martial arts, and they are extremely generous to military generals, although some families look down on martial artists and vulgarity, but in the end, at least respect is still there.
When she was reading poetry in the 21st century, she saw that most dynasties were heavy on literature and light on military force, and generals had to fight a bloody battle, not only to take care of the enemy, but also to flatter civil officials.
"I had an accident with the food and salary this time, and the brothers around me were also injured by dozens of them, some of them had no family members, and they were alone, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to make a living when they left the army, so I brought them back when I returned to Beijing this time."
Gu Anran pressed his eyebrows, but it was easy to bring people back, but it was difficult to resettle. If it's just these dozens, the injury is not too serious, and it's not a big deal, and sending it to the Mu family firm or the dart bureau or the like can be regarded as a good way out.
But those who are really seriously injured to the point of being physically disabled, or even broken hands and feet, and are not good at walking, are not so easy to resettle.
If you raise these people for nothing, not to mention that you can't raise them, even these soldiers will not feel comfortable in their hearts, and maybe they will be easy to cause trouble, but you have to find a job for them. What kind of work does Forrest Gump have for people with disabilities?
In this era when the parents of the body are not damaged, even if it is just broken, it is criticized. How much more mutilated limbs?
Now the disposal of the disabled soldiers is based on the benevolence of the Mu family, and it is only a one-time compensation of silver. He sent people back to his hometown, not to mention those who have no family and are lonely, that is, soldiers with families, and life at home is not easy, and there is no daughter of a good family who is willing to marry a disabled person, and the parents are fine. If you have brothers and sisters in the family, sooner or later you will feel burdensome, and if you are kind-hearted, you can endure it even if you feel uncomfortable. If you meet a bad relative, I am afraid that no one will be able to endure that kind of mental torture.
Therefore, almost all the soldiers would rather die on the battlefield than return seriously wounded.
Since Gu Wan's army first aid method has spread in the army, even if it has saved many lives, the merit is immeasurable. But there are also more war-wounded soldiers who need to be resettled.
Of course, even if Gu Wan knew this, she wouldn't feel that there shouldn't be first aid on the battlefield, and that the wounded soldiers should be allowed to die, no matter what. Life is always precious.
Gu Anran returned to Beijing, ran around for several days, and introduced the more than forty people he brought back to the Mu family's trading house, dart bureau, and other shops to be guards, and he was relieved after finishing everything.
Gu Wan felt that in the placement of disabled soldiers, the imperial court should come up with a solution.
After a big victory, Mu Yanxu took the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the nobles of the clan to reward the gods, rewarded the heroes, and personally wrote a memorial to the dead soldiers, and even listened to Gu Wan's occasional gossip in Liu's ear, next to the royal mausoleum, built a cemetery, and set up a stone tablet to record the names of all the soldiers who died in the Daqing Dynasty.
If there are homeless soldiers, even the grave can be set up here, by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers, worship every year, this will, naturally is very happy, that is, there are soldiers with families and clans, and they are willing to be buried in this cemetery in case of death, according to them, it is a little bit of the dragon spirit of the Son of Heaven.
Mu Yanxu did a good job, but Gu Wan felt that she couldn't just think about the heroes and generals, and the dead people, the living, the disabled, and the part that had no ability to live should not be ignored.
"Those soldiers who are really seriously injured and have no ability to take care of themselves, it is better to turn the one-time silver into a one-time part, and then give a part every month, so that they can live, and those who still have the ability to take care of themselves will be given all at once."
Gu Wan sent Gu Anran away this day, thinking about it, she felt that she had also walked around from the afterlife, if she couldn't even remind Mu Qi of this, it would be too useless, so she grabbed Mu Qi out of the study and discussed it together.
Mu Qi nodded again and again, and went to Mu Yanxu's ear to nag the next day.
Of course, this kind of thing The emperor can't make a decision with a pat on his head, he still has to take it to the court for discussion, and after two days of discussion, the majority of people still support it.
It's just that the emperor wants to change the rules in a word, and it is not a matter of overnight implementation, how much to give at one time, how much to give every month, these have to be discussed, and it depends on the state finance.
The court has not yet discussed a result, Gu Wanzhi first discussed with his eldest brother and uncle, and set up a 'charity fund', so that these big families of Dayong can come up with money to help disabled soldiers, and also gather those soldiers who can't find a living to find someone to teach them a skill, even if it is a bodyguard, there is a big difference between those who can be bodyguards and those who can't be bodyguards, if you can learn more things, it will only be good for these people, and there is no harm.
Gu Wan's intention to bring this out was actually just to help the injured soldiers return to normal life better, but when he got to Liu Yin, it became more perfect, not only the soldiers who came back from the frontier, but even those who had no land and were looking for flexible people on the street, as long as they wanted, he also found someone to teach, and even if someone wanted to learn the craft of killing pigs, he was not too vulgar and tried for the other party.
According to Liu Jin, if there are too many idlers on the street, it is easy to cause chaos, and if everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and the rules and regulations are in order, the world will be peaceful.
Most of these soldiers who have experienced bloody battles cherish the hard-won ordinary life the most, most of them are determined, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, and have a good habit of obeying orders, in fact, they are really good candidates for their subordinates.
Gu Wan pretended to be public and private, and chose the best character and good ability among them, taught well, and sent it to her own shop, or Zhuangzi, and took care of the home, all of which were easy to use, and she was relieved to use them. This is not a new thing, and other families also have the habit of using retired soldiers to take charge of the home.
However, there is a little bit that Gu Wan didn't expect, because she just wanted to give the injured soldiers a means of making a living, the so-called teaching, of course, would not be to teach them the Four Books and Five Classics, but to teach the medical skills that are not much valued today, carpentry, ironwork, arithmetic, business, housekeeping, etc., after the formation of a scale, Q
