As the time entered the middle of summer, the assets from Guanzhong also arrived in Jingzhou one after another.

These assets are mainly silk and silk, and are accompanied by some materials that are not produced or produced very little in northern China, and as for truly strategic materials such as grain, they are rarely exported. As for copper coins, there are none.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, one of the key reasons why it was difficult to achieve long-distance trade across regions was that there was no unified currency in circulation. The copper coins of the Western Wei Dynasty have been bankrupt for a long time, and they are rarely circulated in Guanzhong.

The iron money of Nanliang is a strange thing in the history of coinage, and it has no circulating value when it leaves the land of Nanliang. Although Li Tai also ordered the governor's office to collect a portion of the trade with Gangneung, it was mainly used as a raw material for smelting and forging, and did not recognize its value as a currency.

As early as the beginning of Li Tai's entry into the town, he began to consciously reserve all kinds of materials, and saved a considerable amount of various materials before the social production environment of Nanliang was wreaked havoc.

A large amount of silk silk poured into the warehouse of the state capital, and of course Li Tai would not store these silk silk in the warehouse to eat ashes. On the one hand, Gangneung proposed to increase the volume of trade and obtain more goods and raw materials for production, and on the other hand, it was natural to issue a large number of orders to those workshops that had just been put into production to ensure that their production and profitability were on the right track as soon as possible.

With the mushrooming of various workshops in the northern part of the country and the continuous production of products, the Jingzhou Governor's Office has greatly enriched the types of materials at its disposal, which can be used for more internal construction.

After having sufficient supplies in hand, in addition to strengthening and supplementing the original affairs, Li Taixuan even started a new work content, that is, public health and epidemic prevention.

As the seasons change, seasonal epidemics often occur, and these conditions are often referred to as epidemics. The causes and manifestations of the epidemic and the methods of treatment vary from place to place.

Under normal circumstances, the people of a region will have a certain degree of resistance to the frequent occurrence of local epidemics, and the relatively backward transportation conditions and closed living environment in ancient times also make it difficult for these regional epidemics to spread.

However, in the era of war, the corpses of people and horses left behind by the war are already prone to breeding diseases, and the large-scale flow of people has promoted the spread of epidemics.

The Nanyang Basin is located at the junction of the north and the south, and the Jianghan, Huguang and Guangxi are already wet and hot in the summer season, and there are many mosquitoes and flies breeding.

Li Tai has actually been aware of this since last year. He himself fought between the Huai and Han dynasties, haunting various battlefields, and there was no shortage of infected soldiers with him.

Li Tai himself did not get infected because of this, one is naturally because of his strong physical fitness, and the second is that he knows that the first thing to do is to prevent these epidemics, pay attention to personal hygiene, put an end to mosquito bites, and add dietary prevention, basically you can avoid most of the epidemic infections.

The barracks are areas with a high concentration of people, so the health situation needs to be paid special attention, Li Tai will certainly not relax in this regard, and the camps are specially set up to supervise this matter, and there are all kinds of medicines to prevent and control the epidemic. Therefore, since the arrival of his men and horses in the southeast, although there have been cases of epidemics and diseases in the army, they have not formed a large-scale spread and caused huge losses.

In the army, it is still possible to supervise strict orders and be well prepared, but it is not easy to operate among the people. Last year, nearly 3,000 of the people who moved back from Hefei, Huainan, did not pay enough attention to the prevention and control of the epidemic, and nearly 3,000 people died of the disease, which also sounded the alarm for Li Tai, and he has not rashly carried out large-scale personnel relocation since then.

When he was in Guanzhong before, when he learned that Daxingtai intended to move the people of Handong into the customs, Li Tai was resistant for this reason.

Epidemic disease has never been exclusive to the war years, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Guanzhong area was still frequent, which was related to the high frequency of unplanned migration. The influx of a large number of people has also caused the population of Guanzhong, especially around Gyeonggi, to be over-concentrated, and public health has become quite poor. Coupled with various reasons such as climate warming during the Sui and Tang dynasties, this problem has become particularly serious.

Today's Nanyang Basin naturally does not reach the population density of Guanzhong, but a large number of personnel movements are inevitable, and almost all border cities in the south will receive a varying number of displaced people every day, and these displaced people will often become the source of epidemic diseases. Especially as the time enters the middle of summer and the peak of the epidemic comes, the situation becomes more serious.

Jingzhou is a comprehensive regional center of industry, agriculture and business, so it is necessary to establish a complete set of public health and epidemic prevention systems.

He first demarcated three areas, centered on Shicheng, Suizhou, and Yiyang. All the displaced people received by the border cities and garrisons were sent to these three cities for temporary resettlement, and while compiling a book, they were isolated and treated to ensure that after the epidemic was cured, they would be transported to the inland of northern Chubei.

Because of the emergence of a large number of workshops in the north, the craftsmen of these workshops need to concentrate on production and life, and the establishment of public toilets and public baths is also a proper meaning. A large stove was set up between the villages to boil water and steam clothes.

In order to allow this series of affairs to be systematically managed, Li Tai also set up a special epidemic doctor Cao in the governor's office, and recalled Li Qujian of Cai Yangcheng to serve as the governor of the palace and take charge of the epidemic doctor Cao. Below the epidemic doctor, there is a medical office, a medicine warehouse and a health care hall to manage doctors, medicines and epidemic patients respectively.

This is an action that requires the participation of the whole people, and since the administrative agencies and specific regulations are already in place, the next step is to promote and popularize it among the whole people.

There is no doubt that young people are the highest in their enthusiasm for accepting new things and public welfare. Therefore, the state school became the first place to promote, and when the relevant epidemic prevention knowledge was posted in the state school, it immediately attracted many students.

"The plague kills people more than swords. People only love themselves, and diseases do not give birth. Wash your hands frequently, don't drink raw water, don't defecate in the open ......"

Similar slogans and slogans were posted everywhere in the state school, and the students felt novel, and they also began to follow their words, and after leaving the state school, they were also enthusiastic about publicity, and even set off a picket movement inside and outside Jingzhou City. Although it is a bit of a juvenile prank, it has the righteousness of sweeping away the epidemic for the masses.

The epidemic is raging and spreading rapidly, and there is usually no good treatment for it, but it only strengthens the individual's resistance, and most cases can heal itself.

However, there is no shortage of infectious diseases with high mortality rates such as smallpox and malaria, and for smallpox prevention of special cowpox, Li Tai will of course not hide his secrets, after the staff tried to study a more stable and safe pox dosage and method, he began to gradually promote it in the country, and of course he himself is also a pox, to avoid becoming a marijuana.

Jiangling actually has a lot of experience in the prevention and control of the epidemic, and Li Tai also specially sent people to ask for advice, and even gave Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, a hundred horses of Longyou, just to borrow some medical books and methods of treating the epidemic.

Xiao Laoqi was very generous to this, and specially sent his subordinate official Wang Gu to come to the north with a batch of medical books, accompanied by the son of Wang Shengbi who had been requested by Li Tai before.

Wang Sengbi's son aside, Li Tai was very warm to the messenger Wang Gu who came with a life-saving letter.

This Wang Gu is in his thirties, his appearance and bearing are quite impressive, in addition to the Langya Wang family who was born in Jiangzuo, he is also the nephew of Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, when Li Taibing forced Jiangling, his people came as a messenger to ask for peace, and this time he became an acquaintance.

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and Wang Jun holds this benevolent technique to travel north to give alms, and the merit is also great! Today's banquet is upstairs, and the book describes this matter, and since then, but I am in the town, and Wang Jun will always be the guest of honor! ”

Li Tai did not choose to entertain this group in the state capital, but chose to entertain each other on the Hongbin Tower, in addition to the fact that this building is more magnificent than the governor's mansion, he also intends to start the official operation of this golden platform in the north of the country, attracting the scholars of the southern dynasty to join here.

The last time Wang Gu saw Li Tai, his person from Huainan defeated Murong Shaozong, his posture can be described as domineering, awe-inspiring, but this time he came back to be so kind and pleasant, he couldn't help but feel quite flattered in his heart, and thanked him again and again, and hurriedly presented the book list brought by this trip.

Li Tai took the book list and skimmed it slightly, his face suddenly became even more happy, although he was not very familiar with ancient medical techniques, but he had heard of famous Dan doctors such as Ge Hong and Tao Hongjing.

Among the books sent by Jiangling this time, there are medical books such as Ge Hong's "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", Tao Hongjing's "Commentary on the Materia Medica", as well as Li Tai's relatively unfamiliar "Xiaopin Fang" and "Jingnan Materia Medica" and so on.

Just as Li Tai was still reading the book list, Wang Gu said cautiously: "Before leaving, the king told General Li that the words contained in these medical books are beneficial to the world and save people, and the paper is just a mundane thing, but its old is very cherished by the king, so please ask General Li to transcribe the pictures and texts, so please return the original paper." ”

This is not the first time Li Tai has heard such a request, when he borrowed the Jiangling collection of books before, Xiao Laoqi asked for a transcription, and the original book had to be returned to Jiangling. This guy is indeed a book lover, but the thought of 140,000 books in Gangneung being burned by him can't help but make people hate itchy.

Take the dozen or so medical books sent by Jiangling this time, many of them are unheard of by Li Tai, of course, because he doesn't understand ancient medicine, but it is estimated that he was also burned by Xiao Laoqi. As for other types of books, they are even more innumerable. For that alone, it's not an exaggeration for this guy to get skinned and cramped.

If possible, Li Tai also wants to try to save the collection of books in Gangneung, which requires a long-term planning arrangement.

Li Tai first put this thought down, then smiled and agreed to Wang Gu's request, and then went to the governor's mansion to recruit a few scribes to come and receive the books.

Taking advantage of this time, he casually asked Wang Gu about the origin and value of these medical books. It doesn't matter if you don't ask, this question was shocked by a little one-eyed dragon, it turned out that there was a medical book written by the king of Xiangdong himself, called "Jin Kui to make up slightly".

After knowing this, although Li Tai still looked down on the one-eyed dragon a little in his heart, he had to admit that this guy was really fucking versatile, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and astrology, and even made a book of war and a book of horses, and his knowledge reserve was really amazing.

But it's better not to know everything, it's better not to know, this guy probably just likes the pleasure of knowledge flowing through his brain, as for how much practical talent for governing the country this knowledge has brought him, then only the ghost knows.

After chatting for a while, Li Tai took out a golden talisman weighing half a catty from his side and played with it in his hand, and then asked people to hand it over to Wang Gu who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile in his mouth: "This Hongbin Building has been set up to entertain guests from all over the world, but since its completion, Wang Jun is still the first-class VIP on the top floor.

Distinguished guests come to the door, vulgar things are naturally not enough to express hospitality, give this golden charm only for the certificate, Wang Jun holds this but all into my Jingzhou Governor's Mansion within the jurisdiction, the state and county cities all need to be fully entertained and sent here. Although Jiangling is inhabited by good trees, the river wind is urging people and is afraid of the cold, don't forget that there is a vast world elsewhere in the world! ”

When Wang Gu heard this, he was a little embarrassed and cramped, and he hurriedly got up and waved his hand to refuse, but since Li Tai sent it out, how could he take it back, so after some unsuccessful shirk, Wang Gu could only give his hand and say: "Thank you General Li for your kindness, but it is disrespectful, so I can only accept it with a smile." ”

It will take many days to revise and transcribe more than a dozen medical books, and Li Tai will naturally not accompany him from beginning to end, and after a feast, he left two Taiwanese officials to continue to entertain here, and then he got up and left.

When Li Tai returned to the state capital, Li Qianzhe, who had sent an envoy to Shuzhong, also returned to Jingzhou.

Li Qianzhe was a little tired, but when he saw the general standing outside the mansion waiting, he was busy and turned over and dismounted and stepped forward to bow and say: "Lord Qiqilang, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored in this trip, and he has gained a lot." After showing the strange goods, there is no shortage of famous families in Shu who are eager to buy goods. In order not to alarm the government, the last general only received some personnel vouchers and returned to present the lord of Lang, and then planned for the future. ”

As he spoke, he pointed back to his back, there were more than 20 trucks full of loads, and when the thick felt cloth was lifted, the Shu brocade loaded below was suddenly revealed, which was colorful and dazzling in the sunlight!
