Chapter 1055: Clean and hygienic
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Zhen did not give a banquet as usual, but rewarded the civil and military ministers with a silver letter, two silk horses, and ten altars of fine wine, and sent them back to their respective homes.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone was tired enough to play monkey shows with him for two hours, and if he ate a banquet with him for two hours, it would be too painful to spend this year.
Zhu Zhen himself suffered from it, so he hated these red tapes very much. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and when it is his turn to be the master, of course, you should try to be as simple as possible.
However, after the dispersal of the dynasty, he was not idle, but accompanied by Pan Yuanming and other civil officials, he came to the south of Kunming to inspect.
There are still more than 100,000 people here waiting for him to appease them...... Although Boss Zhu's will did not explicitly require the people to stay in Yunnan.
But it is common sense that at least 100,000 people are needed to supply the daily needs of more than 200,000 troops...... So the people had to stay.
But unlike the soldiers who are bound by military orders and have long been accustomed to their families following their own transfers, these civilians are ordinary people who come to serve, and normally they can go back after the one-year period.
Now that they are forced to spend their second year in Yunnan, it is already an overdue period of service, and the mood of the people must be very unstable.
If you know that the imperial court doesn't plan to let them go back, and you are ready to let them be Yunnan people for the rest of their lives, they will definitely have to blow up the pot.
So Zhu Zhen has to come and go, and he must come on the first day of the first month. It is easier to win the favor of the people when you come to pay New Year's greetings, which is much more important than staying in the palace to eat a banquet......
"There are many people among the people, and it is inevitable that they will collide with the prince." On the way, Pan Yuanming was still worried. "It's too bad luck for the New Year, let's let the ministers go on this trip for the prince."
"Can they eat this king?" Zhu Zhen didn't care.
"Who dares to make a mistake? I'm afraid that whoever doesn't have a clean mouth ......" Pan Yuanming smiled.
"They can scold the king, and it is good to be angry. Besides, don't hit the smiling person. This New Year's guest came to them to greet the New Year, can you still drive the king out? ”
"That's not ......" Pan Yuanming hurriedly shook his head and smiled, but he was a little unaware: "But the prince must not mention letting them stay in Yunnan, if you mention it, it will be another matter......"
"Why am I going to do without mentioning this stubble? Simply condolences to the masses. Zhu Zhen glanced at him angrily and said: "Going is to solve the problem, how to solve the problem without raising the problem?" ”
"Alas, Wechen understands." Pan Yuanming reluctantly stopped persuading, and said in his heart who he loved, anyway, I have already reminded him......
While speaking, Wang drove to Nancheng, and Peng Kang, the current magistrate of Kunming, was already waiting on the side of the road.
After meeting the prince, he introduced Zhu Zhen to the situation of the southern city:
"The people mainly live in this part of Nancheng, which is divided into 36 camps, including the mat camp, the tofu camp, the blacksmith camp, the palm tree camp, the saber camp, the arrow camp, and the clay pot camp."
"It sounds like these thirty-six camps are divided according to the type of work?" Zhu Zhen asked with interest.
"The prince is right." Peng Zhixian hurriedly nodded and said: "It is not an exaggeration to say that the food, clothing, and shelter of more than 200,000 soldiers in the whole army, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and war horses and rain gear all depend on them. ”
"Let's go, let's get out of the car and have a look." Zhu Zhen got down from the golden chariot and asked Peng Zhixian to lead him around.
"Yes, Lord Wang, please." Peng Zhixian hurriedly responded: "Not far ahead is the mat camp, let's go over there first." ”
"Okay." Zhu Zhen nodded, and followed Peng Zhixian for a while, and the biggest impression he had along the way was that it was clean.
I saw that on the road of this neighborhood where many people lived, there was no human and animal manure everywhere on the streets of urban and rural areas in the mainland, and there was no domestic garbage of all kinds.
Even the gutters are cleaned and there is no smell.
Zhu Zhen was unhappy, although he scolded his mother directly for the New Year, he still couldn't help but say in a weird manner: "Peng Zhixian is really a good skill, such a clean street is rare, and you can't even see the explosion skin on the ground." ”
"This ......" Peng Zhixian couldn't hear it, the prince was sarcastic about his deception? When he heard this, his face was red and he couldn't speak.
"The prince is angry." Pan Yuanming hurriedly explained: "Knowing that the prince is coming, Lao Peng must let people sweep the street, otherwise wouldn't it be too lazy?" ”
"However, the streets of Kunming City are usually very clean, so it can't be considered fraud." He changed his mind again.
"Lao Pan's words are a bit unreliable, right? How does this king remember that he inspected Kunming last year, when the streets were muddy, with feces and garbage everywhere, and they were dirty? Zhu Zhen said with a slightly gloomy expression:
"Of course, it's great to be able to clean it so clean, anyway. But the question is, how long? ”
"I can keep it all the time!" Peng Zhixian finally held back a sentence.
"Oh? Do you dare to make a military order? Zhu Zhen glanced at him.
"Dare!" Peng Zhixian said loudly.
"Haha, good, very energetic." Zhu Zhen regained his smile: "Anyway, it's always good to have this energy." However, in the future, we should do less superficial work and more practical things. ”
"Yes." Peng Zhixian ran out of courage and hurriedly bowed his head in response.
"Hehe, the prince doesn't know." Pan Yuanming seized the opportunity to explain:
"It's so clean in the whole of Kunming, and even in all the places where we garrison our troops. It's not to deal with the prince's inspection. ”
"What's that for?" Zhu Zhen asked.
"This is the order of His Royal Highness King Zhou." Pan Yuanming replied: "After the prince returned to Beijing last year, the weather was hot, and the soldiers and civilians fell ill countless times. At that time, people were panicking, and they all said that the miasma in Yunnan was too powerful, and it was not good to wipe out the whole army now......"
"Later, His Royal Highness King Zhou called us civil and military officers to the military hospital and told us that after investigation, he found that the so-called miasma was not some mysterious ghost, but just an infectious disease based on malaria and cholera."
"And these infectious diseases are preventable." Pan Yuanming continued:
Then he gave us ten rules to die. Lao Peng, you can tell me. ”
"Yes." Pengzhi County is like a few treasures:
"One, don't drink raw water, drink water to boil; Second, keep the water source clean and do not drink polluted water; 3. Keep the environment clean, do not defecate anywhere, and clean up garbage in a timely manner; Fourth, make every effort to prevent mosquitoes, and keep the residential area free of weeds, not stagnant water, and kept dry; 5. Maintain personal hygiene, wash hands before and after meals, bathe frequently, change clothes frequently, and advocate shaving your head ......"
In fact, these ten rules, except for shaving the head, are not difficult for strong people. It is a normal requirement in the afterlife.
But for people in this era, it is time to completely change their lifestyle.
In normal times, even if the fifth child was the respect of the prince and had defeated smallpox, and was regarded as the world's medical saint, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians would not strictly abide by his orders.
Fortunately, the disease specializes in treating all kinds of head iron. As more and more people fell ill and even died, the fear of miasma among the vast number of soldiers and civilians was no longer great, and in order to save their lives, they had to do it honestly, and as a result, it didn't take long for the disease rate among the military and civilians to plummet.
A month later, cholera disappeared and the number of people suffering from malaria was greatly reduced. The results are immediate!
"So everyone now regards this 'Ten Articles of King Zhou' as a way to save their lives, and they don't need government supervision at all, and they are clean and hygienic." Peng Zhixian finally explained.
Zhu Zhen was ashamed to hug his fists at Peng Zhixian and said, "I'm sorry, it's this king who is arbitrary." ”
"The prince is serious, but Weichen didn't make it clear." Peng Zhixian hurriedly waved his hand, but his heart was warm.
