Chapter 117: The Plague Settles

With Xi Jian managing the entry and exit of materials and property, to be honest, Liu Tai relaxed a lot, and even began to be a little idle.

Originally, Liu Tai was still more or less responsible for material scheduling, but as Xi Jian became more and more skilled in this work, Liu Tai was also happy to hand over these things to Xi Jian.

After all, in this era when there is no cure, ensuring the food and hygiene of patients and doctors and increasing their resistance is one of the most effective ways to treat diseases in this era.

Of course, not only the patients, but also the doctors who worked hard to take care of the patients, the righteous soldiers who were responsible for transporting supplies, and the soldiers sent by Liu Tai to forcibly isolate villages and not allow people to enter and leave at will, all played their due role.

As for Liu Tai, except for reminding Meng Dong and Wang Rujing of some modern simple hygiene knowledge at the beginning, Liu Tai didn't do anything superfluous.

Because Liu Tai knows very well that he should not underestimate the medical skills and doctors of this era.

Don't say it, the new crown was so bad in the three years at the beginning, and in the end, I still used Chinese medicine to stabilize my symptoms in an emergency.

Although TCM is not as targeted as vaccines, in terms of cost performance, TCM is still more suitable for targeting plagues.

The only thing I can do is to take care of their logistics and provide enough manpower, especially coal and boiled water.

When Liu Tai arrived in Qingzhou, he set up a general's division, which was responsible for Xie Fei, and allocated coal as an energy source to the general's division, so that Xie Fei could grasp the output of coal and steel.

Xie Fei's craftsmen were sent to study how to increase coal production and how to forge steel.

Compared with the people of this era, Liu Tai understands very well that if you want to improve the productivity of this era, you must either improve production technology or basic materials.

And these two things continue to be derived, one needs to be burned at a higher temperature, and the other is to make more suitable steel.

As for the rest, it is more of an application level, and I have time to guide and experiment.

However, forging more suitable steel materials, or calcining a higher controllable temperature, these need to be accumulated little by little, and there is no chance of detouring at all.

The only thing that makes Liu Tai happy is that because of his emphasis on coal, he nationalized all the large and small coal mines in Qingzhou, and now he will not use it.

Even so, this kind of excavation from coal mines to briquettes production, from mass transportation to delivery to the front line, is still a small part.

The real big deal is to cut down the trees around the county and split them into firewood to burn.

This is also the reason why Liu Tai needs to recruit so many volunteers, because it is quite laborious to want a cup of boiled water in this era.

For the vast majority of people in this era, the value of a glass of boiled water may be more than their day's hard work.

And the only thing Liu Tai is doing now is to stabilize people's hearts here and do his best to ensure the stability of material supply.

In fact, only two weeks have passed, and Meng Dong and Wang Rujing have brought a doctor to see Liu Tai.

"I've seen Liu Qingzhou!" Several people saluted Liu Tai, and then said to Liu Tai:

"Doctor Xu has already tested a prescription for this plague, and the most important herb needs kudzu, and we don't have a stockpile.

Dr. Xu has drawn a picture and found the herbs.

I also asked Liu Qingzhou to get together this main medicine as much as possible, I believe that soon, this plague will be suppressed!! ”

"Good, good!" Liu Tai nodded, and saluted Doctor Xu in front of him, "Doctor Xu, I thank you for the people of Qingzhou!" ”

Xu Xi hurriedly returned the salute, and then said:

"Liu Qingzhou, don't be like this, you have organized people to save the people, even if you want to treat the sick, you can't catch it, it should be the people in these plague areas thank you."

If there were more officials like you, maybe the world might not be so chaotic! ”

As he spoke, Xu Xi took a sample of kudzu, as well as the kudzu he drew and annotated it in front of Liu Tai, and said, "This kudzu will ask Liu Qingzhou to find it." ”

Liu Tai nodded when he heard this, but suddenly reacted, raised his head and asked, "Ge Gen...... Is this named by Ge Hong? ”

"This is indeed the medicine discovered by Ge Zhichuan, who once rescued the plague caused by Zhang Chang and Shi Bing during the Yangzhou uprising, so the old man thought of using this medicine to use medicine!" Xu Xi looked at Liu Taidao and said, "Do you know Ge Zhichuan as well?" ”

"God has been friends for a long time!" Liu Tai hurriedly asked at this moment, "If you don't know the doctor, do you know where the little fairy is now?" ”

"Little fairy? Although my friend Ge Zhichuan has many thoughts of retreating, he has never heard of such a title.

The world calls him a man who hugs Pu, and he himself laughs and calls himself a Puzi, is it wrong? Xu Xi wondered.

"Hug Puzi"?! That's definitely right! Liu Tai said thoughtfully, "He's still alive?" ”

“…… Thorn History, he has not yet reached the age of establishment this year, and with his habit of self-cultivation and his ability to keep a good qi, I think he can at least live to the age of antiquity. Xu Xi said seriously.

"In other words, if he can find Ge Hong now, he can still work for himself for forty years!"

Liu Tai's eyes lit up unconsciously when he thought of this, this is the top talent of this era!

If Ge Hong is willing to help him, then he can let Ge Hong help him create the most suitable medical system for this era.

And in addition to the progress of medicine, the most important thing is chemistry, if anyone in this era can summarize the knowledge of alchemy chemistry in the old era and open up a new era of chemical system...... This person can only be Ge Hong!

"Then this little fairy ...... Where is Bao Puzi now? Liu Tai couldn't help but say when he heard Xu Xi's words.

"I don't know, when I separated from him, he was planning to go to Luoyang to study widely, but when he encountered Sima Zhuwang's rebellion, he disappeared without a trace!" Xu Xi couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The world is too chaotic now, I hope he is still healthy now!" ”

"I see!" Liu Tai took a deep breath and said, "I will ask people to find a painter to draw the appearance of kudzu, and let the people find the corresponding medicinal materials, please don't worry, this main medicine will be sent over soon!" ”

"I am waiting for the people of Qingzhou, thank you Liu Qingzhou!" Xu Xi heard Liu Tai's words and thanked Liu Tai.

"Since you call me Liu Qingzhou, do your best for the people of Qingzhou, this is what I should do!" Liu Tai waved his hand and said, "The patients still need your care and go back first, by the way, Meng Dong, you can stay for a while, I have something to ask!" ”

Several people glanced at each other, and without saying anything, they said goodbye to Liu Tai and left first.

"Thorn history? I don't know what you left me for? Meng Dong heard Liu Tai's words and couldn't help asking.

And Liu Tai nodded and said, "I asked you to find an area suitable for growing herbs in the mountains and forests of Qingzhou." ”

Meng Dong said, "Laiwu County in Taishan County and Wei County in Le'an Country are very suitable for land and water sources.

I plan to wait until the plague is brought down, and then I will reclaim these two places and plant herbs for the general's needs!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Tai nodded and said, "I've long had enough of this kind of empty medical skills, but not enough medicinal materials.

Even if some rare herbs have not been cultivated, some commonly used medicinal materials can be planted for me as much as they can be.

You must grasp this matter as soon as you go back, and when the time comes, you need manpower and material resources, just tell me directly! ”

"Yes!" When Meng Dong heard Liu Tai's words, he promised to come down and saluted Liu Tai.

Meng Dong could feel that Liu Tai attached great importance to cultivating herbs, but the problem was that in this era, only the top scholars or the imperial court had special people to cultivate a certain type of herbs.

For the vast majority of folk healers, the main way to collect herbs is to rely on manpower to collect them in the wild, rather than planting them.

Liu Tai did not have the corresponding talents in his hands, and even if Meng Dong accepted Liu Tai's order, he could only try to cultivate at the same time.

As for the difference between the medicinal properties of the cultivated herbs and the medicinal properties of the wild herbs, to be honest, Meng Dong did not know.

But there is no way, for a person like Liu Tai who attaches so much importance to the people and attaches more importance to his own subordinates, Liu Tai's reserves of medicinal materials are almost to the point of being a little crazy.

Liu Tai often regularly ordered according to different seasons to use various materials for the people to collect medicines in different seasons, so as to constantly hoard various herbs.

One of the daily tasks of the medical battalion is to sort the various medicinal materials collected from the people, and then prepare them, retain the medicinal properties as much as possible, classify and store them, and then take them out and use them when needed.

It is mainly for the storage of soldiers, and these medicines are also stored according to military supplies.

This is also a point that military registration is better than civilian registration, that is, military registration and family members can directly go to the army to see a doctor, and the payment is not direct currency, but the merit of soldiers, which belongs to the special currency in the military system.

Merit points are not allowed to be traded, and military history must be present for each use before registration and deduction.

However, although doctors have never been forbidden to treat these people, military drugs will not be used by them.

If the people wanted these herbs, they had to collect them themselves, or they could buy them at a high price from a pharmacy.

This is also one of the hidden benefits of military status, Liu Tai is deliberately elevating the status of military families.

To be honest, if it weren't for Ge Gen, which was only found by Ge Hong in recent years, it wouldn't be a medicinal material that appeared in medical books at all, otherwise Liu Tai would definitely have hoarded several major warehouses.

Even now, when this plague passes, Ge Gen is afraid that he will be left on the list of medicinal materials reserves by Liu Tai, after all, this is one of the medicines that can suppress the plague.

And as a cure was found, and when the herb was continuously excavated under the ground, Kudzu was quickly sent to the epidemic area, and the people who had the plague in the epidemic area were also quickly treated.

This not only gave the patients hope for life, but even the doctors, righteous soldiers and soldiers under Liu Tai's command had a sense of pride in conquering the plague, and the enthusiasm that burst out made them devote themselves to their work with greater enthusiasm.

And Liu Tai also immediately found Xi Jian, and these days for Xi Jian, Liu Tai is more and more comfortable with it.

Liu Tai said to Xi Jian, "We have also solved this plague.

We prepared a banquet to celebrate the victory over the plague by giving a good meal to all the doctors, righteous men and soldiers who participated in this rescue.

Then you pay Xie Fei a sum of money and food, and ask him to build a batch of medals about the size of his thumb and distribute them to all the righteous soldiers who survive.

Thanks to their contribution to Qingzhou this time, this medal is a testament to their efforts. ”

Liu Tai thought that this medal naturally needed to play its due role.

Don't say it, you need to attach some extra rewards to this medal, not that it is completely equivalent to the treatment of the army, but you can disassemble the treatment of the army.

These righteous men can enjoy one or more of the rewards of the army, especially the more they participate in such activities, the more medals they accumulate.

Then there was a medal system of gold, silver, bronze and iron, so that they could enjoy the joy of doing good deeds and rising in rank.

Of course, these Liu Tai just thought about it, and now these are just ordinary iron cards.

Now I can help them the most, that is, to clean up the officials who are responsible for the apportionment.

At the same time, let the military history register the names of these people, and if there is a vacancy in the local official position in the future, then they will be the first choice.

Maybe if people stay in the position of power for a long time, they will definitely lose their hearts, or they may not be able to resist all kinds of temptations.

But in any case, at least all of them are now risking death to follow themselves to suppress the plague, so they should naturally be rewarded accordingly.

And even if you need these people to fill in the grassroots in Qingzhou, become the second political group in addition to veterans, the most important thing is that this political group is really rooted in the grassroots, which is a rare attribute.

"Besides, I really want to catch the wild beast Ge Hong.

But the problem is that this guy is in Jiangnan, Lao Tzu can't lead the army to directly push Sima Rui and then arrest him, right?

Just try to brush up his favorability and see if he will come over on his own, but how should he spread the news? ”

Liu Tai couldn't help pondering in his heart, but he couldn't think of a good way, after all, he didn't have a propaganda system outside Qingzhou.

At this moment, the waiter came over and reported: "Taishan Goat Man asks to see Thorn Shi!" ”

"Please, please!" When Liu Tai heard this, he said decisively.

Yang Man raised his head and entered Liu Tai's camp, looked at Liu Tai proudly, and quickly saluted Liu Tai:

"Taishan Goat Man has seen Ming Gong, and in recent days, he has seen Ming Gong planning for this plague, and Man has finally seen benevolence and righteousness in troubled times."

"Please get up, please get up!" Liu Tai hurriedly went over to help Yang Man up, thinking in his heart, is this what he means to take refuge in himself?

Six hundred monthly passes, which also means that there will be twelve more chapters next month, well, I remembered.
