Chapter 247 Grapes

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Lu Yunan, a businessman from Montenegro in the north, is wearing a conical hat and riding a horse through Suzhou official road.

In just one month, the entire Suzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Potholes and large holes can be seen everywhere in the city, and construction teams are busy digging water wells - in the past, water wells meant a safe and reliable source of drinking water for the people, which meant a significant increase in resistance to drought.

A good well can be called a family heirloom. It requires a specialized well engineer to find deep water sources. The construction price is ten to twenty guan.

In some villages with poor irrigation conditions, conflicts between neighbors and villages can sometimes arise because of the ownership of a well, or even large-scale fights and vendettas.

However, the arrival of the monks from the Academy and Luli Academy changed this.

They will use their thoughts to reach deep into the ground to find reliable water sources, and then use their cultivation skills to directly dig out stubborn rocks so that ordinary construction teams can quickly build water wells.

Moreover, even if the well is not an artesian well, the monks from the Academy also brought a drawing of a hand-operated water outlet valve drawn by Su Feng, a doctor of science.

After it is built, you only need to move the valve up and down by hand to quickly pump water out of the well.

In addition, a construction team composed of monks and ordinary people also built a large number of public toilets and supporting sewer systems in the city.

Ceramic sleeves produced in ceramic factories are connected to each other to form pipes.

The gaps in the pipes will be filled with glue substances to prevent corrosion, leakage, and air leakage.

One end of the pipe is connected to the public toilet, and the other end leads to septic tanks of various sizes.

Each septic tank is composed of three parallel tanks, with a volume ratio of two to one to three.

Domestic sewage and sludge will flow and settle in the pool.

The suspended solids are removed, turning the easily corrosive raw sludge into stable cooked sludge, which can be used as fertilizer to reduce environmental pollution.

Moreover, some septic tanks also use a technology called three-phase separation, which can speed up sedimentation and reduce sewage.

Now the people in Suzhou, as well as the entire Jiangnan Province, have learned about schistosomiasis and its treatment principles and transmission channels through Xuegong publications.

Extremely supportive of the imperial court.

The King of Light Li Shan, who was said to be not taken seriously in Chang'an, showed quite outstanding abilities.

As the prince and inspector, he coordinates the transportation of materials in Jiangnan Province, formulates policies, and mobilizes manpower.

He also dug out "Yu Lv Shu Yi" and strictly followed the above laws and regulations.

"If you can penetrate holes and walls to get out filthy things in the streets and alleys, the staff will be sixty. If the chief executive cannot help it, he will be guilty of the same crime."

Anyone who dumps feces in the streets and pollutes the streets will be punished with sixty strokes of the cane.

And also subtly modified the article "Those who come straight out of the water are not guilty".

Anyone who urinates indiscriminately will also be punished.

In short, there are so many public toilets in the city, and defecating everywhere is not allowed.

Compared with cities, the changes in suburban towns are greater.

People in counties around Suzhou were called upon to join forces.

Men, women and children, old and young, wore distributed cloth socks, oil socks, leggings, masks, and gloves.

Find the place where snails are most prevalent,

Dig new ditches, fill in old ditches, and bury the snails alive in soil;

Build dams and change water potential;

Burn the weeds and clean the reeds;

Soak the land with potion and use a shovel to turn over the lawn;

Pull down the dilapidated houses that are uninhabited, and use flames to burn the snails that breed and spread under the tiles;

Apply quicklime on the walls of residential houses to prevent the spread of snails;

...

Civil servants, people, soldiers, officials, monks,

People from all walks of life have contributed their efforts to this end, striving to kill as many snails and schistosomiasis as possible before spring plowing.

Lu Yunan and her escort were riding on the road, and they were deeply shocked when they saw the vast number of people in the Yu State who were working together and busy in the fields.

This shock was so touching that Lu Yunan subconsciously tightened the reins, slowed down her riding speed, and squinted her eyes to carefully appreciate the scene in front of her.

The two guards breathed softly involuntarily. The countless people of the Yu Kingdom, who were bending their backs and wielding hoes and shovels on the river embankment, brought them even greater pressure than the towering city walls and the so-called monks.

"Now do you know why the Yu State is the most powerful empire in the world?"

Lu Yunan said softly: "In terms of bravery and ruthlessness, they can't compare to Xi Jing.

In terms of cavalry tactics, they are no match for the Turks.

In terms of superior climate, they cannot compare with Southern Zhou Dynasty.

In terms of physique, they are not as good as us northerners, and there are hundreds of thousands of barren people in the barren mountains.

But, unity,

Not because of the coercion of tyrants or officials, but for the unity of one's own life and that of others..."

Lu Yunan was inexplicably silent for a while, with a strange light flashing in her eyes, as if she was remembering something.

"Let's go and see that Li Ang."

She pulled the reins and drove towards the hospital with her escort.

————

"...It's okay for the time being. In the next few days, you should pay attention to rest and eat lightly..."

In the hospital, Li Ang, who had just completed an operation, patiently explained the precautions to the patient.

During this period of time, he has been in the ward. In addition to eating and sleeping, he has been performing operations to remove schistosomiasis using chanting threads, as well as providing emergency training to the monks from Luli Academy who volunteered to help.

Qiu Feng was the first to think of the silk thread surgery method, which is indeed groundbreaking.

Based on careful attention, a successful operation can remove more than 90% of the schistosomiasis in the patient's body. If the patient's immunity is strong enough, self-healing is also possible.

Moreover, doctors such as Qiu Zhen and Qiu Quan also made considerable contributions.

Traditional medicines cannot eliminate schistosomiasis, but some prescriptions prescribed according to medical principles, such as ascites, etc., can significantly reduce the pathological symptoms of patients and ease the pain suffered by patients.

But, it’s still the same problem.

There are too many patients and too few qualified monks.

"Huh..."

Li Ang sent away the patient who had thanked him so much, and lay down heavily on the chair, his face unable to conceal his exhaustion.

Qiu Feng said with some distress: "I'll make the bed for you, you go and have a little sleep. I'll handle the rest of the operation."

"No, there's still a little spiritual power left. I'll go to sleep after I use it all up."

Li Ang rubbed his face and stood up from the chair.

For monks, exhausting their spiritual energy will cause them to fall into an extremely uncomfortable state of collapse.

However, Li Ang has already formed the muscle memory of the operation. Even if he is tired, tired and slow in thinking, it will not affect the operation.

Just when I was about to ring the bell on the table and go to the next operation, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

The waiter from the hospital walked in and said respectfully: "Li Xiaolangjun, someone revealed the reward you offered. She said she can provide a large amount of wine. She is in the courtyard now."

The hospital clerk stopped talking.

During this period of time, Li Ang, King of Light Li Shan, and Suzhou Prefect worked together to mobilize a large amount of supplies.

For some items that are difficult to obtain in a short period of time, high rewards are offered among the private sector.

Such as tea cakes, such as wine.

As for what to do with wine...

No matter what, Li Xiaolangjun is always right anyway.

"Huh? Someone revealed the list so soon?"

Li Ang was slightly startled, and immediately opened the door and went out of the house, where he saw the white-haired girl admiring the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

"Ah, you must be the legendary little Medicine King God."

Lu Yunan reached out her hand to shake Li Ang's hand graciously, "Let me introduce, I am a businessman from Heishan in the north. I opened the Fengshun store in Chang'an City."

"Oh, it does matter. It's the one that sells black wood kettles, right?"

Li Ang spent some time recalling it, and other than expressing a little surprise at the other person's age, he didn't have much reaction - he didn't care about the other person's origins, nor did he care whether the other person wanted to curry favor with him.

"Let's get this straight, you said you offer a large selection of fine wines?"
