Chapter 368: Sitting on the ground and traveling 80,000 miles a day
Shen Minxue is a person who has been in Chenghua for 11 years, and he has not been able to pass the Jinshi examination, and after being discouraged by the examination, he chose to become a county official.
With good luck, he made up for the gap and made up for a Cixi county, originally thinking that the land south of the Yangtze River must be a fat difference.
But after coming to this place, I found that it was not the case, and there has always been an epidemic of a big belly disease in the entire Cixi County.
This kind of evil disease is very terrifying, and the appearance of people after they get it is very terrible, and there is also a local legend that it is an evil person who is doing evil.
Because of the existence of this evil disease, the entire Cixi County has always been inferior to the surrounding states and counties, and the people nearby are too willing to interact with their people here.
This made Shen Minxue quite discouraged, and he was afraid that he would also be infected with this disease, and even his family members did not dare to take it, and he had been living a fearful life for several years.
When the Huang people came last year, he originally felt that he was dead, and he had already prepared to die for the country, but after the Huang people captured Ningbo, the offensive stopped.
During this period, there was a time when people were sent into Cixi County, but they left in a hurry within half an hour of entering.
This made Shen Minxue quite proud, feeling that there was such a bad disease, and he didn't dare to break in easily.
As a result, a few months later, a medical team of the Huang people, under the escort of the Huang soldiers, was stationed in Mingxi Town.
At first, Shen Minxue was very jealous, but after observing for a few days, he was shocked!
He didn't expect that the people were actually treating the people, and they could really save them.
A deep sense of shame welled up in his heart, and he did not think of a way at the beginning of his official career, but as soon as he said it, he was dissuaded by the county Chinese officials and wardens.
When he saw the Huangren medical team risking their lives to help the people of Cixi County, he resolutely took his master and his entourage and rushed over to contact them.
After a few words, he understood the intention of the Huang people, and also knew that the Huang people had decided to stop fighting, so he simply began to help the Huang people.
As a local parent official, Shen Minxue felt that he couldn't be inferior to the Huang people, so he summoned the gentry of Cixi County afterwards to contribute money and efforts together.
The local gentry who have long been threatened by schistosomiasis are very happy this time, donating money and materials without saying a word, and cooperating in everything!
Just because there are family members among the gentlemen who have this disease, they also deeply feel the negative impact of this disease on the local area. After learning that the people had a way to cure it, even the big families and landlords were willing to cooperate with the people at this moment.
After Shen Minxue has been an official for many years, he finally encountered a "united heart" thing, and finally stopped begging the gentry to take the lead.
After that, things were much simpler, they paid for the money, and the people were in charge of the treatment.
Shen Minxue also learned that the original disease was called schistosomiasis, and he also knew that this disease was mainly obtained through contact with plague water containing cercariae, which penetrated into the human body through the skin and accumulated and developed in the veins of the liver through blood.
At first, he was a little unimpressed, but it wasn't until Dr. Long Ping, the chief physician of the Yellowman Medical Team, personally dissected a seriously ill and dead patient, that he completely believed it.
Deeply feeling that the medical skills of the people are not inferior to Da Mingye, he also followed Dr. Long Ping and learned about the prevention and treatment of schistosomiasis.
At present, he is already half a doctor, and he even knows how to repair the toilet.
Through the prevention and control of the so-called "source of infection", I understood why schistosomiasis in Cixi County was so serious, and it turned out that this place was at the confluence of the Yao River and Cixi.
The water flow here becomes wide and gentle, and it is downstream, so it is inevitable that there are eggs in feces in the water, and aquatic animals such as snails are the best hosts for schistosomiasis, which also causes the suffering of the people here.
In the past few months of getting along, he has really faced up to the Huang people, and feels that this group of people is free, enthusiastic, capable, courageous, and benevolent.
The only drawback is that there is no male and female defense, but in Shen Minxue's opinion, it is a true gentleman who does not care about these.
It's a pity that the medical team is about to leave after completing its mission, which makes him quite sad, and he doesn't know why he is so reluctant, as if his heart is empty.
……
"Doctor Long, if you wait for you to leave, what will happen to Cixi, and what should I do?"
Two days before parting, Shen Minxue carried two pots of good wine and found Long Ping.
Long Ping was in a good mood at the moment, and he didn't feel like he was about to leave, he advised: "As long as you remember the prevention regulations, this disease will always be eliminated one day, but this time it is only around Mingxi Town, but I heard that there are many places in the whole of Zhejiang, there are still many places with this disease, so the important thing is to spread the prevention method!" ”
Shen Minxue's eyes were red, and he arched his hand and said: "Before Dr. Long left, he was still so concerned about my people in the Ming Dynasty, it is really the heart of the parents of doctors!" ”
"Eh, it's all what should be done, Dongqin and Da Ming are the same kind of text, blood is thicker than water, how can we see death and not save it?" Long Ping said modestly.
"Hey, it's not easy to keep the lower officials, Dr. Long's merits, you should set up a shrine in Cixi, so that future generations of Cixi people will remember your great kindness!"
"I can't help it!" Long Ping panicked, "This is not my research results, these prevention and treatment regulations are all from the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" issued by our government, which can be regarded as the credit of all our medical workers in Dongqin!" ”
"This ......" Shen Minxue was a little embarrassed, if he didn't set up an ancestral hall, he was afraid that the people of Cixi would poke his backbone.
"Then why don't you set up a shrine and let your entire medical team enjoy the incense?"
"Don't bother! Just set up a monument, just engrave a poem written by my family, after hearing about schistosomiasis, I personally wrote a poem "Send the Plague God", you want to erect a monument, just copy this poem. Long Ping smiled lightly, but he was thinking in his heart, thinking that the king was wise and martial, and he could set up a monument in Daming, and the publicity effect would definitely be excellent.
Shen Minxue hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you are the great benefactors of my fathers and elders in Cixi County, and I don't know how many people I will save in the future. ”
Long Ping didn't expect it to be so serious, and after thinking about it, he still copied the poem and gave it to Shen Minxue.
"If you are embarrassed, the name can be directly signed by my monarch's name, and you don't need to add the titles of the monarch of the Eastern Qin Kingdom!"
Shen Minxue nodded, took the poem and glanced at it, and was immediately stunned for a moment, although there was something inaccessible about Pingxuan, but the momentum of this poem made him speechless.
"Sit on the ground and travel 80,000 miles a day, survey the sky and see a thousand rivers from afar!" He read it, and immediately sighed three times in a row!
As a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't know the meaning of the words "sitting on the ground and traveling 80,000 miles a day", but he knew that the meaning of the words was to describe the vastness of the world, and it was easier to understand the sky and the sky to see a thousand rivers from afar.
This poem is accompanied by the name of the plague god, which not only seems to worry about the country and the people, but also looks majestic, and does not take this little insect disease into account at all.
I am confident that I will be able to eradicate the worm disease. This kind of courage made Shen Minxue bend his waist a little.
…………
Two days later, when the medical team was about to say goodbye.
The people of ten miles and eight townships ran to Mingxi Town early in the morning, and Shen Minxue and the gentlemen also came to see them off with a stele.
The stele was carved in two days, and it gave a detailed description of the medical team's fight against insect diseases, and pointed out the gratitude of the people of Cixi to the medical team.
Lu Lishu and Du Wensong, looking at the dense crowd, couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
With more than a dozen Wanmin umbrellas being sent, the two felt that this trip was really meaningful.
Amid the toasts and send-offs of the gentlemen, the medical team slowly set off and left.
The people who came to see him off fell to their knees, and many of them burst into tears.
Shen Minxue looked at this situation, took off his official hat, and made a gesture towards the medical team.
……
If Yan Zheng saw this situation, he would rarely have to send more than a dozen press releases.
He ordered the treatment of schistosomiasis, which contained several layers of purpose.
First of all, it is for publicity, after all, it is a battle with Daming, which will always have a negative impact.
What's more, the demonization and smearing of the Ming Dynasty will definitely appear with the war, in this era when the right to speak basically depends on the "public opinion of the gentry", if you want to fight back against this smear, you have to take the bottom line.
As long as this wave works properly, it will have a great positive impact on the subsequent population consolidation.
Not to mention schistosomiasis, which affects a wide range of areas, which is a great loss for the workforce.
And once the concept of prevention is popularized, the disease is controllable and even extremely easy to extinguish.
So in Ningbo, it's just a fire, and these follow-up methods will definitely be spread by those who have a heart.
In the process of spreading, it is natural that the deeds of the people will also be passed out.
In addition, the Treaty of Ningbo stipulated that the Eastern Qin Dynasty was allowed to run newspapers and drama theaters and other cultural institutions in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had no right to censor the content of the distribution.
This has created an extremely favorable condition for seizing the right to speak.
