Chapter 120: Initiating the School of Medicine
If you ask Cheng Nuodan if he is worried that Li Hutong is using the platform of the Academy of Sciences to promote religious ideas, such as establishing Buddhist schools and cultivating Buddhist talents, he has made a wedding dress for people for no reason.
Cheng Nuo has not considered this point, this is a genuine monk, who strictly adheres to the precepts, studies the Dharma, and has a family, and few people can keep up with the depth of thought.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not possible at all, because he is also a "fake monk" and a "strange monk", although he is shaved, monks, and wearing robes, he does not become an abbot, does not open a dojo, and does not hide in the temple, but wanders in the red dust every day, openly preaching the essence of Confucian culture to the society, to students, to the people, and to people from all walks of life.
In the face of such a geek, Cheng Nuo can naturally use it with 100% confidence, of course, the premise is that people are willing to cooperate with the Academy of Social Sciences, otherwise all this is in vain.
This kind of work is naturally urgent, and it will flow for a long time.
With the addition of Wu Changshuo, Wang Fu'an, and Li Shutong, the work behind will be much more convenient, and then Ma Heng, Yu Youren, Sheng Xuanhuai and others have been invited.
Faced with such a scene, Jiang Jiang Zuo sighed again and again: "Disasters are merciless, people are merciless, and with the support of so many people, I believe that our charity bazaar will be a great success."
Cheng Nuo nodded: "Usually, if you choose any one of these calligraphy and painting works, you can sell them for a lot of price, but now, presumably, with everyone's efforts, there will only be more auctions."
Flipping through the list of works, Jiang Jiangzuo asked, "The seller is there, but on the buyer's side, what are you going to do, so many things can't be solved in a while."
Handing over the invitation card that had been written in his hand, Cheng Nuo said: "Different from the seller groups of inviting calligraphers and painters, the number of buyers is larger, and the one-to-one invitation is too cumbersome and inefficient.
In addition to the Shanghai Flour Trade Union, which has begun to cooperate, there are also steel trade unions, textile trade unions, construction trade unions, etc., mainly in light industry and textile industry, all of which are very strong economic groups in Shanghai, and some have money for spiritual pursuit.
"Hey, why do you still have an invitation from the embassy or consulate here?" Jiang Jiang Zuo flipped out a door and said in surprise: "Do these foreigners understand this, don't give us things when the time comes, and destroy the heavens."
Cheng Nuo wrote and drew on the table, without raising his head: "You don't need them to understand, you just need them to pay for it, in terms of money, it's difficult for us people to compare with others, and I'm really sorry for myself if I don't kill a sum, not to mention these gringos and goblins, after buying them here, I guess I will send them back to China in the next step and continue to deceive their compatriots."
Jiang Jiang Zuo nodded: "Indeed, it is difficult for us to compare with the Anglo-Saxons in terms of pit people, and I will do whatever you say when the time comes."
"There's just something to trouble you here, and by the way, you can train yourself." Cheng Nuo pulled out a list of materials from the table and introduced: "This is the materials in urgent need of the disaster area that I have sorted out, and while the price of materials in Shanghai has not fluctuated, you had better hurry up and buy the last batch, the more the better."
took the list, which included rice, cornmeal, cotton clothes and other materials, all of which are currently in short supply for the victims of the disaster in Zhili, and the purchase quantity is also in tens of thousands.
"Needless to say, there is no need to talk about food, it is estimated that the local wild vegetable roots may not be found, so food procurement is the top priority of this batch of materials, and nothing else is good to say, but if you can't eat, you can die." Seeing that Jiang Jiang Zuo had already taken the list away, Cheng Nuo introduced: "As for the cotton clothes, they are prepared for winter, although it is not yet officially autumn, but it will be very soon, and when the temperature drops, the victims will suffer again, so we should prepare in advance."
Looking at the list, Jiang Jiang Zuo was a little stunned: "There is nothing wrong with things, but after purchasing such a large quantity, at least tens of thousands of oceans, can we afford it?"
"If you can't bear it, you have to take it down, people's lives are at stake." Afraid that Jiang Jiang Zuo would think too much, Cheng Nuo explained: "Millions of people have been affected.
Don't look at these things, they look like a lot, but in fact, they are just a drop in the bucket and can't save too many people. However, this money is not a small amount after all, although we can afford it, but after taking it out, it will definitely hurt our muscles and bones and affect scientific research work."
"So you mean?" Jiang Jiang Zuo asked.
"It's very simple, while food and other materials have not risen, we will advance funds for procurement, and when the bazaar is over, we will make up the shortfall, and it will only take half a month before and after, so it is not a big problem." Cheng Nuo added.
Hearing this, Jiang Jiang Zuo breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's fine, I'm afraid that if you open your mouth, you will take out tens of thousands of silver dollars, and if you can't get it back, it will affect the work of the work-study society in France, not to mention, it will also affect the technical research of the radio station, which requires money."
During this time, I have met a lot of celebrities with Cheng Nuo, most of them are about industry, compared with these people, the scale of the Academy of Sciences is far from enough, which has invisibly put a lot of pressure on him, and he has begun to take on the role that Cheng Nuo arranged for him, even if the money is used for disaster relief, he is still a little sensitive.
Cheng Nuo stood up and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Do you remember the invitation card in front, let's raise funds from those trade unions, and then use the funds to buy goods from them, one in and one out, which is beneficial to both parties."
Jiang Jiang Zuo couldn't help but admire again and again after hearing this: "You are taking other people's money and buying other people's goods, which is a great thing to pick up for nothing."
Cheng Nuo waved his hand and smiled: "Economic behavior, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, not to mention that we are all using money for the victims, and it has little to do with our actual interests."
Jiang Jiang Zuo pondered for a while and said, "Yes, in the end, it is the victims who benefit, and no one can say anything, maybe they will be happy to buy and sell." But then again, we bought the things back in advance, which doesn't seem to fit the process you said, right?"
Cheng Nuo shook his head and said confidently: "You think so, we are lending them a loan, so that they can have money to spend, so as to support our charity bazaar, so as not to be cold, and things cannot be auctioned, how embarrassing it should be."
"Then what if they don't buy after they make money, can you still force them to buy and sell?" Jiang Jiang Zuo asked.
"We are civilized people, and of course we don't do such robber things." Sitting back in his chair, Cheng Nuo sneered, "If you don't buy it, they did the first year of junior high school, then don't blame me for making the fifteenth."
So, with the list of materials prepared in advance, Jiang Jiang Zuo successively purchased 100,000 catties of cornmeal and 100,000 catties of flour, and thousands of sets of cotton clothes, and waited for them to be shipped to Tianjin.
Some people originally wanted to take advantage of the national disaster to make a windfall, but they forgot that Cheng Nuo was not only a scholar, but also joined various associations, such as the China Vocational Education Society, the Chinese Sports Association, etc., although it doesn't look good, but there are both the north and south governments, and the original intention of joining in is to build the country, where can you see this kind of behavior.
After a few female businessmen were warned, it finally stopped a lot.
As for how to hoard Juqi behind the scenes, Cheng Nuo and the others don't know, although 200,000 grains are a lot, but in the big city of Shanghai, it can only set off a small ripple, and the impact is not big.
However, in addition to supplies, epidemic prevention is also very important for disaster relief.
found Wu Liande, who was still in Shanghai and was preparing for the Academy of Medical Sciences under the Academy of Sciences.
I knocked on the door, but no one responded, and I wanted to come back another day, but when I looked away, it seemed that the lights were still on inside.
"In broad daylight, why is the light on, nothing will happen?"
Cheng Nuo was a little worried, returned to the door, and saw that the door was not locked, so he pushed the door directly in.
Unexpectedly, Wu Liande was inside, the light on was his desk lamp, and he was sleeping in his clothes right now.
"Starlink, why are you sleeping here, aren't you afraid of catching a cold, did you stay up late last night?" Seeing that the table was covered with manuscript paper, with words written on it, and the paper basket was stuffed, Cheng Nuo immediately judged that the dean of the medical school had probably spent the night here again.
"Oh, Dean? When did you come here?" Wu Liande rubbed his bloodshot eyes, sat up with difficulty, and the coat on his back fell down as he got up: "I didn't stay up late,
I was suddenly sleepy last night, and I thought about squinting for a while and going back, but I didn't expect to see you coming when I opened my eyes again."
"Alas, pay attention to your body, you are not young anymore, and you know better than me the consequences of staying up late." Cheng Nuo picked up the coat from the ground, patted the soil on it, folded it and handed it over: "If you fall, our medical school will be stillborn."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of my body, and before the medical ideal is completed, I will spare my life more than anyone else." Wu Liande turned off the lamp, and while cleaning up the straw paper on the table, he said, "Besides, don't we still have Mr. Zhang Taiyan, in terms of theory alone, I am not as good as him."
Cheng Nuo originally wanted to pour saliva for Wu Liande, but he shook the kettle and found that it was empty, so he had to reconnect the water and boil the water: "You two have different studies, one is Chinese medicine and the other is Western medicine, how to compare?"
Holding the manuscript in his hand and bumping it up and down the table a few times to make it align, Wu Liande smiled: "In essence, it is all about curing diseases and saving people, and the idea of Chinese medicine is also an inspiration for me, and I am more confident in fighting the epidemic in the future."
For thousands of years, the Chinese nation, like other nations in the world, has been inevitably plagued by plagues in every period, and for more than 2,000 years since the Western Han Dynasty, China has had many large-scale plague epidemics.
Compared with the two world-wide plagues in the A.D. century and the century, which led to a sharp decline in the population / and /, the population of ancient China remained relatively constant, from the Western Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, it has been maintained at 10,000 ~ 10,000, I have to say that traditional Chinese medicine has indeed played an important role in epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic.
The statistics of ancient epidemics in China are as follows: Zhou Dynasty, Qin and Han Dynasties, Three Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasties, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Two Song and Jin Dynasties, Ming Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty.
Especially in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a major epidemic occurred every four years, and in this way, we were able to grow from tens of millions of people to more than 100 million during the Qianlong period, and the role of Chinese medicine cannot be ignored.
Cleaning up the ashes in the coal stove, Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "Yes, in essence, they are all about curing diseases and saving people, naturally which one is convenient and effective, then which one to come from, there is no need for binary opposition, good and good competition and integration, which is also good for patients." Z.br>
As one of the important representatives of Western medicine in China, Wu Liande agrees with this attitude: "It is such a truth, both sides have their own strengths and weaknesses, depending on the patient's condition, with the purpose of treating diseases and saving people."
Sitting on the stove with the kettle, Cheng Nuo clapped his hands: "We will have a chance to talk about Chinese and Western medicine in the future, talk about the flood in Zhili, I am ready to send you over to help the local people prevent the epidemic after the disaster, I don't know if you have any opinions?"
As soon as he heard this, Wu Liande took out the draft paper that had just been sorted out again, and said seriously: "Of course there is no opinion, even if you don't say it, the dean, I am also ready to apply for the past, millions of people, if it is not handled well, there will be an outbreak of epidemics, and the scale will be much larger than the plague in Northeast China, maybe more people will die of disease than due to waterlogging."
In order to show his work, Wu Liande put the most prominent pieces of scratch paper in front of Cheng Nuo: "It is my improved mask, which is specially used to prevent epidemics from entering the mouth and nose and threatening human life and health."
Seeing this, Cheng Nuo came to his senses, and took the drafting paper and looked at it carefully.
Although it has been improved by Wu Liande, the structure of the mask is still relatively simple, but it covers the mouth and nose with two or three layers of gauze, and then cuts the ends to make straps.
The medical one is a little more complicated, in addition to the two ends of the straps, but also to pull a strip in the middle to tie the top of the head, in order to protect tightly, even in the gap to stuff enough cotton, is too complicated.
Without rushing to point out the problem, Cheng Nuo first took the civilian mask and asked, "This design is very good, even if the illiterate women in the village can make it after looking at the picture, it has a basic protective effect, if it is mass-produced, how much will it cost?"
Wu Liande thought for a moment and stretched out two fingers: "If the energy is produced, I guarantee that the cost will not exceed two cents, and if it is produced on a large scale, I believe the cost can be further compressed."
Subject to the current production conditions, Cheng Nuo will naturally not stupidly propose to replace non-woven fabrics and meltblown fabrics, which is simply unrealistic, far less than this seemingly rustic method
Be practical.
"Civilian masks can still be further refined on this basis, at present, it is still a little bloated, there is more unnecessary gauze area, and the design needs to be dealt with again, as for the size of the gauze gap, I will contact Zhang Lao later, let Dasheng Yarn Factory see if it can be solved."
"As for medical masks, they are too complicated to use, and under the conditions in the disaster area, it is difficult to get gauze, cloth strips and cotton at the same time, and the actual application is too harsh and difficult to popularize.
Combined with the experience of his previous life and the actual conditions, Cheng Nuo first raised and then suppressed, and gave his advice.
Of course, as a "layman", Cheng Nuo does not expect the other party to be 100% convinced, and when he takes out the finished product and compares it with each other, he will know which is good and which is bad.
Turning the topic to post-disaster epidemic prevention, Cheng Nuo asked: "What diseases will occur after such a flood, in addition to masks, we should also prepare in advance."
After putting away the design straw paper, Wu Liande replied, "Under normal circumstances, in the winter after the disaster, there are more people suffering from dysentery and fever, and these two need to be considered."
Cheng Nuo nodded, these two epidemics are also old rivals, and there are some ways to see curative effects, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and specifically instructed: "If possible, it is best to build a temporary epidemic prevention hospital in the local area, clean up the source of the disease, strengthen disinfection, especially the corpses in the water should be salvaged and buried in time, and the filth should also be eliminated in time......
Although he knew that the other party was an epidemic prevention expert in this era, Cheng Nuo couldn't help but nag out the experience of his previous life, and if he could give an opinion that the other party felt was of reference value, it would be enough, and he would be greatly relieved in his heart.
Wu Liande also listened carefully to this, did he still nod his head, the dean just said a few more words, and he didn't directly stretch out his hand to do a slight exercise, he was already very satisfied, not to mention that some theories were indeed heard for the first time: "Don't worry, dean, in addition to me, there are more than ten doctors in our academy, all of whom follow me, and they will definitely live up to your expectations."
Cheng Nuo nodded, brought the boiling water and poured a cup for Wu Liande: "Although it is a little cruel, I still want to say that the epidemic prevention action is based on the premise of protecting yourself as much as possible, and you must also guard against bandits after work, there are always some people who take advantage of the disaster to loot, endangering social security and people's lives and property, if possible, the rest place is arranged near the police department."
Holding the teacup in both hands, Wu Liande was very touched by this: "Bring a few with you, and bring back a few with sure you are intact."
Cheng Nuo said no more to this, and left here after a few words.
This support is both a challenge and an opportunity for the School of Medicine, and if it can be grasped, it will certainly be able to make an important voice in the international frontier of modern medicine.
Just like Wu Liande himself, he was only a relatively powerful doctor in China before, powerful but not top-notch, and basically no one knew him when he went abroad.
However, the plague in Northeast China has made rapid progress in its research in this area, and it has become an expert in plague research and epidemic prevention in the world, leading the way in this international medical frontier.
Next year there will be the Spanish flu, when tens of millions of people around the world will die from the disease, a quarter of the world's population will be infected, and we will also die about 1 million people in our country, which is quite scary.
If you don't start a study at this time, how long will you wait?
