Bathing, for ordinary people in the Han Dynasty, was really a big deal. The so-called "bathing every May Day" means that government workers can have paid bathing leave every five days.
Go home leisurely and take a shower. Don't make your legs stink like mud.
The easiest way to judge whether a person is a noble person is to see if he is clean or not. It is not like Western barbarians who refuse to take a bath and then in order to cover up their own stench, they come up with various perfumes. The result is like this
The perfume was originally intended to cover up body odor, sweat, and foot odor, but in later generations it became as popular as some holy water in the world.
Bathing requires a wooden bucket and boiling water, which is a lot of work. Most farmers are exhausted after a day's work. How can they feel like boiling a large bucket of water for bathing? After all, they are a minority who can occupy hot springs for home use.
.
Especially in the north, if it's summer, it's fine. But when the temperature drops sharply, you don't have much storage in your stomach and don't have much fat on your body. If you go swimming in the water in winter, you may not be taking a bath, but you're courting death.
Therefore, when General Fei Qian ordered everyone to take a bath and asked Zhao Yun to take charge of the matter, Zhao Yun was almost dumbfounded.
In this era, although you can see the beautiful scenery of nature everywhere, people's bodies are also full of the breath of nature. Not to mention mites, which are just for children, lice and fleas are even more common, and some people even suffer from parasitism.
Some of them have some kind of unknown insect, either their abdomens are swollen, or there are big nameless pustules on their hands and feet. The most terrible thing is that these people live in groups, and everyone is so dirty that they are full of spring.
If you look closely at the breath, you can even see some small insects crawling on the heads and bodies of these big-headed soldiers.
Is it normal? I can't control it.
To maintain a person's hygiene in the Han Dynasty required too much energy, and for the big-headed soldiers, they had to crawl around in the mud, grass, and woods, and they needed to be with big animals.
Even if a person is clean, it is easy to get contaminated again at the livestock, so basically, except for the two fixed cleaning times per month, most of the time it is ignored.
But now, it must be managed.
The spread of germs, except for those germs in later generations that were so metamorphosed that they could be spread even in the air we breathe, most of the germs in the Han Dynasty, even vicious infectious diseases like plague, were transmitted through flies, lice, fleas, rats, etc.
Living animals carry and spread, eventually leading to large-scale outbreaks.
Therefore, after burning the corpses in the trench, personal hygiene and cleaning work was done, and then everyone was given the medicinal soup prepared by Zhang Yun to treat the plague...
Zhao Yun was fully armed, with scales shining in the sun. He stood on a high platform, majestic. But if you look carefully, you can see the corners of Zhao Yun's eyes twitching slightly.
In this life, I am afraid that this is the first time that Zhao Yun has taken charge of such a large number of soldiers, but he did not expect that they were taking a collective bath...
Because there were all naked soldiers lined up below. The young soldiers were shyly covering their crotches with their hands, while the older ones were wandering around indifferently, and by the way, they took a few glances at the buttocks of some young soldiers.
Eye……
The robes that were taken off were all concentrated, washed, steamed again, and then dried in the sun to basically kill off all the lice and fleas attached to the robes.
The soldiers first had to drill through a large wooden pool filled with water and sprinkled with a lot of sulfur powder. When it comes to drilling, there is a section in the middle with a roof. The soldiers need to hold their breath and dive into the water before they can get through.
Then they queue up to jump into the second smaller pool in the body. The people at the edge of the pool hold long-bristle brushes and brush them up, down, left and right. As for which part they brush, it basically depends on personal opportunity.
Already...
Finally, it enters a large iron bucket that is continuously heated, and the whole person is cooked for more than ten seconds, and then it is ready...
Well, it's over...
Not only that, Zhao Yun also needs to manage the subsequent cleaning work of these people, mainly urinating and defecating. The original shallow ponds are all filled up, new deep pits are dug, and lime needs to be sprinkled every day for disinfection. Anyone who defecates at will in the barracks will be
It is the whip of thirty records that serves the long memory.
At first, these soldiers were not used to it, and then those who were whipped secretly gave Zhao Yun the nickname "Poop Captain". Together with "Bath Captain", they became Zhao Yun's new pronouns...
Compared with Zhao Yun's misery, Zhang Yun is much better.
Not only was there a tent to provide shade, but there were also several apprentices working and waiting on him, making his life much more comfortable than Zhao Yunlai's.
At this time, Zhang Yun was sitting in the tent, holding a pen, recording the events of the past few days, including some things that General Fei Qian asked Zhao Yun to do, on the bamboo slips one by one, and then carefully
After reading it two or three times, I felt that I had indeed memorized everything, and that nothing had been missed. Then I carefully dried the ink, and then put the bamboo slips in a Gebu bag...
This is something that is to be passed down as a family heirloom, how can you not be careful and careful?
Zhang Yun slightly proudly stroked the bamboo slips through the cloth bag, thinking that even future generations could rely on this method to cure and prevent plague, and be respected and treated with courtesy, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
There is nothing wrong with doctors having medical ethics, but doctors are also human beings. They eat, drink, and have diarrhea, and they are also troubled when facing these illnesses. The most important thing for doctors in this era is to leave some experience and inheritance for their descendants.
Item work.
Although Zhang Yun's own descendants have not yet had a single birth date, there seems to be someone over there in Pingyang Lane who is pretty handsome. Should I find someone to be a matchmaker when I go back this time...
Speaking of which, General Zhengxi’s place is really good. Before, I was a little worried that as a doctor, I would either throw myself to the sky and fall to death, or be ignored and angry to death. However, in the land of Bingbei Pingyang, I don’t know if I was affected by General Zhengxi.
The instructions were still affected by it. Relatively speaking, Zhang Yun was in a relatively relaxed position.
There will not be powerful people coming over at every turn, asking for treatment of various difficult and complicated diseases, and then if something goes wrong, they will have to pay with their lives, nor will there be any Taoist disciples who will use talisman water to claim that doctors are incompetent, or talisman water is better
Have divine power...
I think about that time in Yuzhou, well, wasn't my teacher Hua Tuo so angry that he became seriously ill because of these Taiping Taoist disciples who were pretending to be gods and ghosts?
Well, I don’t know where the master is now...
"General Zhengxi has arrived!"
Suddenly, there were guards outside the tent singing and shouting loudly.
Zhang Yun trembled all over and suddenly woke up from his personal memories. He quickly put the bamboo slips aside, stood up, and ran out of the tent to greet Fei Qian.
Fei Qian did not enter the tent, but stood outside, accompanied by Zhao Yun standing behind him.
Fei Qian looked at the soldiers in the distance who were taking turns cleaning, and said: "Zilong, according to the current progress, how long will it take for them all to be cleaned?"
Zhao Yun stood aside, cupped his hands and said: "Junhou, it will take at least two days..."
Fei Qian nodded and said: "Good. Take advantage of Xianbei's delay and hurry up. In addition, don't mix with the cleaned soldiers, otherwise it will be a waste of time... Well, Yiyang, how is the anti-worm medicine going?
Already?"
"For the information of your Majesty," Zhang Yun said quickly, "For the things that can drive away the outside, use stone yellow and forged stones and scatter them inside the tent, or under the eaves of the house... As for the things that can drive away the inside, this, um...
…”
Zhang Yun hesitated for a moment, then took out something from his arms, handed it over, and said, "If you are looking for a medicine to exorcise the internal organs, this is the best thing..."
Fei Qian took it and saw that it was a dried fruit, which looked somewhat like an olive.
Olives also repel insects?
Doesn’t olive treat sore throat and enteritis?
Fei Qian looked at it carefully, then took it to his nose and smelled it. Well, it doesn't smell like olives... What does it look like? Oh, this is...
"This thing... betel nut?" Fei Qian asked with some uncertainty.
"It's Bennan." The two characters "Langnan" have similar pronunciation, which made Zhang Yun a little surprised. He didn't expect Fei Qian to know this one, so he quickly said, "This thing is also called Bengyu, Renpin. It mostly grows in southern Xinjiang. It can be removed."
Miasma Li can repel abdominal worms, but... alas, it's a pity that this thing is hard to find..."
"In the past, Emperor Wu planted it in the Fuli Garden in Chang'an. It's a pity..." Zhang Yun shook his head and said, "... then it became rare... This thing was passed down by a master to someone, and there is only one of it... someone
I have walked through the mountains and forests of Hedong many times, and I have never encountered even half a tree..."
"Betel nut repels insects?" Fei Qian didn't notice the difference in pronunciation, but was a little surprised. But thinking about it, I'm afraid it really has this effect, otherwise there wouldn't be so many local people in Taiwan, Guangdong and Guangxi in the future.
The habit of eating betel nut. After all, Taiwan, Guangdong and Guangxi are areas with a lot of mosquitoes.
The welfare home, um, wrong, Fuli Garden, was indeed a waste of natural resources by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not know whether it was really to cultivate animals and plants or just to show off his martial arts. He opened such a garden in Chang'an to plant different tree species from various places. It is said that there are longan, lychee, olive, betel nut, etc.
There are no less than a hundred plants of each type, but it is a pity that these things are only used by the emperor and have not been widely circulated.
Now that it has been collected, it must be studied and studied. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only used it to show to himself to satisfy his personal expansion desires. It seemed too boring. If it had been spread out earlier, according to Hua Tuo's urine
, haven’t we already figured out how to use it as medicine and how to use it?
"...Junhou, you can make a soup made of yellow stone and cinnamon branches. It can also be used to repel insects in the abdomen..." Zhang Yun said with some hesitation. Anyway, if the stone is sprinkled in the house, the insects will basically be around.
He was walking around, so Zhang Yun naturally thought that adding Shihuang and Shituo into the decoction should also have the effect of repelling insects.
"Ah?" Fei Qian glared and drank the decoction made from stone yellow stone. Wasn't this looking for death?
Stone yellow is realgar, and stone forging is lime. No matter which one it is, it is corrosive, so mosquitoes dare not fall on it. But realgar will turn into arsenic when heated. Zhang Yun also said to use other
Make a decoction...
"Forget it about stone yellow. It's poisonous after all. What about stone forging?" Fei Qian said after pondering for a while. After all, later generations remembered that gypsum was also used as medicine. "You can give it a try... Well, Zichu, remember to tell me later.
"Send two Xianbei laborers over to test Yiyang's medicine..."
…………………………
In the Xianbei camp north of the Yinshan camp, the great shaman Hu Yehan was anxious in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
"how?"
The great shaman stared closely at the Xianbei scouts who went to spy on the camp. He held the scepter studded with colored stones and feathers in his hand, as if he was holding the power given by the Changsheng Heaven. He held it so hard,
The veins on the dry and skinny hands and arms popped out, like purple-black earthworms that were constantly squirming.
"To the great shaman, there are indeed a few people missing on the camp wall..." the Xianbei scout said.
Hu Yehan stared at the scout, his eyes beating like will-o'-the-wisps, and said slowly: "Have you looked carefully? Have you ever counted them?"
The Xianbei scout said: "Yes, respected Great Shaman, I counted three times. The Han people are indeed short of manpower on the wall..."
Hu Yehan closed his eyes, leaned back relaxedly, then closed his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and said: "Go and call the commander-in-chief..."
Zaruda arrived soon.
"...Han people...the curse of Changshengtian...has taken effect..." Hu Yehan said in a low voice.
Zaluda was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He waved his arms in the air and said excitedly: "Really?"
Hu Yehan raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Zaluda, and said: "The Immortal Heaven is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent..."
"Uh..." Zaluda realized that he might have asked a stupid topic, so he changed his words and said, "These... damn Han bandits should also bear the wrath of Changshengtian!"
"...Tomorrow, early in the morning, send people up to attack the wall..." Hu Yehan said slowly.
"So fast?" Zaluda said subconsciously.
"What? Brave Commander, are you afraid?" Hu Yehan asked, "Or are you unwilling to obey the will of Changshengtian?"
Zaruda laughed twice, then banged his chest and said, "How could I be afraid! I will make arrangements later to attack the stronghold tomorrow!"
Hu Yehan nodded, expressing satisfaction.
"By the way..." Zaruda scratched his bald head, which looked a little bald due to his age and started to lose hair, and said, "Great Shaman... Regarding what you said before, the Changsheng Heaven created everything in the world...
Well, I have a question that I want to ask..."
"...Have said it..." Hu Yehan shook the colorful scepter and said slowly, "The Changsheng Heaven will not reject a believer who has the heart to explore..."
"Well... I remember that in May the year before last, when I was worshiping the Changsheng Heaven, the great shaman also said something about the power of the Changsheng Heaven..." Zaluda said, "Well... everything in the world was created by the Changsheng Heaven.
He first created water and the various creatures nourished in the water, and then created various birds in the sky... Then Changshengtian created various beasts on the grass... When everything was ready, Changshengtian created us,
Created the greatest nation on the grassland... That's what you said at the time, great shaman, right?"
"...Well," Hu Yehan responded incredulously, and then said, "Is there any problem with this?"
"...But, but..." Zaruda frowned and said, "But yesterday, when you gathered everyone after the sacrifice, you also talked about the power of the Changshengtian... You said that the Changshengtian uses the white clouds in the sky and the black soil on the ground.
He pinched our appearance and poured the aura of Changshengtian into his nostrils, so our ancestors came to life... Then Changshengtian felt that it was not good for our ancestors to be alone in this world, so he created various beasts and animals.
The birds in the sky were then brought to our ancestors to tell them which ones are good, which ones are bad, which ones can be eaten, and which ones cannot be eaten... Is that so?"
"...Well," Hu Yehan thought about it for a moment and said, "Is there any problem with this?"
"I just can't figure it out..." Zaluda scratched his bald head again and said, "...Did the Immortal Heaven create our ancestors first, or did it create the fish and birds in the water and the sky first?
Which one is in front? Also, since Changshengtian created us and we are the favored children of Changshengtian, who created the Han people? Doesn’t the omnipotent Changshengtian know this?"
Hu Yehan suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "How dare you question Changshengtian?!"
"No, no," Zaruda suddenly put away his original silly smile, stared at Hu Yehan and said, "I'm not questioning Changshengtian, and I don't dare to question Changshengtian... I'm just reminding you,
My great shaman... be your great shaman, Changshengtian didn’t ask you to do the rest, right?”
