Chapter 1341: Agriculture (3)
Zhao Hanzhang didn't know how to treat schistosomiasis, and the books he had read in the library were all brushed aside in this regard, but there were a lot of prevention and control measures.
She told the prevention and treatment methods that she and Fu Tinghan remembered, and told Imperial Doctor Ding, who was willing to go to Guangzhou, and asked him to do research while starting with prevention.
Schistosomiasis, if properly prevented, can reduce the incidence of schistosomiasis by 80% alone.
The most critical issue in this matter is how to make the people of Guangzhou trust them and act according to their precautions.
Not to mention that an uncivilized and wild place like Guangzhou is a state of etiquette like the Central Plains, if you want the people to complete one thing in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, it is impossible without heavy punishment.
And heavy fines ......
She couldn't punish a family severely just because one of them drank raw water, it wasn't to prevent disease, it was to force the people to rebel.
So she chose Zhao Shen.
Sure enough, Zhao Shen deserved to be Zhao Shen, and after replacing Dai Yuan, he quickly took over the Guangzhou Army, while training the Guangzhou Army, he asked Imperial Physician Ding to recruit some apprentices locally, and cooperate with local local doctors to research and treat schistosomiasis.
Chinese scholars have always believed that all things in nature tend to be harmonious, which is not only the will of all things, but also the will of heaven and earth.
Therefore, there must be an antidote near the poison, and schistosoma itself has natural predators in nature, and it is nearby, but they have not yet discovered it.
But it doesn't matter, Dr. Ding said that he can implement preventive measures while searching, and he believes that one day he will find a cure for schistosomiasis.
At that time, not only Guangzhou, but also the Jingchu Jiangnan area will no longer suffer from schistosomiasis.
Imperial Doctor Ding was full of confidence, but he was beaten to the ground before he even started, and he worked hard to lead his apprentices everywhere to publicize that he could not drink raw water, not bathe in the river and stream, and pay attention to the feces of his family members, so as to detect the existence of schistosomiasis as soon as possible and then prevent and control it......
After a year of hard work, very few people were willing to listen to him, but the officers and men were given a lot of medicine to prevent and treat miasma, and the local market was not opened at all.
As a result, Thorn Shi went out for a walk, ran around Guangzhou, went to a city for two days, went to a village for one night, and when he left, they fell into a frenzy, and they didn't need their hard persuasion, they took the initiative to boil water, and even went out with a bamboo tube to boil cool water, instead of squatting down and bowing down to drink from a random river.
They will even take the initiative to come to him for the herbal remedies he wants to treat.
Doctor Ding has been here for a year, and it's not that he hasn't made any progress at all, and he can't cure schistosomiasis at all, but if it was in the early stage, when he was first infected, he had several insecticidal prescriptions.
Coincidentally, the required herbs can be found in the mountains of Guangzhou.
However, you should be cautious in using medicine, and you must control the amount, otherwise it will not be good to kill yourself by killing insects.
In addition, they would also bring the feces to Imperial Physician Ding for identification, and as soon as they were sure that there were insect eggs, they would immediately light a fire near their water source, pray prayers, and curse the demon god with deeds.
Imperial Physician Ding's whole body was numb, watching their assassins take the lead in putting on brightly colored official uniforms, dancing with swords and stepping on gossip steps.
Envoy, does Your Majesty know that you use official uniforms as legal services?
Imperial Physician Ding shouted in his heart: Your Majesty - the minister wants to return to Beijing!
Unlike Dai Yuan, who went around to conquer the people, Zhao Shen relied on his ability to pursue immortals for many years to win them.
It doesn't cost a single soldier.
The prevention and control of schistosomiasis has not yet had any effect, Zhao Shen has already gained prestige in the hearts of the people of Guangzhou, and Zhao Hanzhang, who was used by him to fool people, has also been raised to the height of being able to fight against the demon god.
Zhao Shen took the opportunity to ask for a batch of improved varieties from Sinong Temple, not Luoyang South No. 2, and the rice seeds have not yet begun to be promoted.
He wanted rice seeds that had been cultivated for several years and had been successfully planted in rainy areas such as Jingchu.
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and agreed for Sinong Temple.
Zhao Hanzhang gave preferential treatment to Guangzhou and did not take their taxes, that is to say, Guangzhou's local taxes would be used for Guangzhou's local financial expenditure.
Zhao Shen is not a child of an ordinary family, he was born in troubled times, he has traveled abroad since he was fourteen years old, and he has seen the hardships of people's livelihood.
He himself worked as a Taoist, a ranger, and even a bandit and a beggar.
Zhao Hanzhang gave a lot of money, and he has the backing of his family, one person is full, and the whole family is not worried, so he will not intercept the taxes of the state and county.
If the officials are not greedy, the officials will be clear, and there will be more surplus wealth in the prefectures and counties, and there will be more people who give back to the people.
By the end of the summer of Zhao Shen's third year in office, his governance began to pay off, and the natives of Guangzhou planted the best rice seed in the mountains, Lingnan No. 1.
This rice seed is from Jingchu No. 1, but after planting in Lingnan, its growth state is better than in the Jingchu area, I don't know if it is because the local rice is still mixed with self-retained rice seeds, it has made a qualitative leap in the end.
Not only are the ears longer, the grains are more numerous, they are fuller, and they are also more resistant to flooding.
Zhao Cheng was also lightly taxed, and the taxes required by each tribe were not high.
He knew that in the huge Guangzhou, it was impossible to send officials to govern one place after another, and he still had to rely on the locals.
Zhao Hanzhang also repeatedly told him to respect local customs and chiefs, govern the local area and communicate with them more.
Because he had read it too many times, Zhao Shen and his father couldn't help but complain when they wrote a letter, "Your Majesty is less domineering than before and more tender in the face of the border people, and those who don't know think that she and Nanban are a family, not from the Central Plains." ”
Zhao Ming scolded him, "The people you govern are called Nanban, it can be seen that you have not had an epiphany yet." Her Majesty treats everyone equally, no matter what nationality she is, she treats them as family. She is less domineering to the border people, but more tender, because the natural conditions of the border people are worse than those of the Central Plains, but she shoulders the responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country. ”
Zhao Ming turned around and asked Zhao Hanzhang to let Zhao Cheng stay in Guangzhou for a few more years, not because he was transferred back because his three-year term was up.
In his view, it takes at least five years for an official to achieve initial results in governing a place, and three years is just a matter of figuring out a place.
Zhao Shen was angry and aggrieved when he learned about this, and directly wrote to quarrel with his father, "This is all your prejudice against me, am I not honest, my ability to govern is not high, and I don't love the people?" ”
Zhao Ming replied: "You have never looked down on the people you ruled, as a parent official, you are high up and look at them with pity from top to bottom, did your grandfather teach me like this?" Is that how I taught you? ”
"Your seventh uncle also loves your husband and is generous to him, but you have always been unpretentious to him, why?" Zhao Ming said: "His love for your husband is high, when he goes to the right path, his love is right, but what if he goes to the wrong path?" ”
"Zhao Shen, don't follow in the footsteps of your Seventh Uncle Ancestor, whether you are an official or a person, you should learn from the best and compare upwards, not downwards."
Zhao Shen received the letter and was stunned.
His long history didn't know that he was wandering and was replying, "Envoy, Jiaozhi sent an envoy over, do we want to refuse?" Those rebellious ministers and thieves, still have the face to come to us for good seeds? ”
Good night
