Chapter 308 Trouble with the Emperor means no trouble
In fact, knowledge can be popularized, or the popularization of knowledge was originally part of her plan.
But now I don’t know what they wrote or whether they mentioned anything else.
The main reason is that she didn't expect this group of literary young people to move so quickly. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, so why not work overtime and finish the work without thinking about it in a while?
Shen Zhoujin quickly took out a pen and paper and said to the prince, "Write it down. What is the content of your letter?"
The prince said: "We each write our own things. We only write down the important things clearly, and everyone else writes their own things."
Shen Zhoujin was also disappointed with the prince's political sensitivity, and said: "You haven't read any of other people's works?"
The prince said: "I saw a few."
Shen Zhoujin said directly: "You carry it on your back."
The prince memorized a few of them. While doing so, he also asked her: "Is there anything wrong? Or you can just tell me what is wrong. I will recall it and see if anyone has mentioned it."
Shen Zhoujin sighed: "It goes without saying, I have already heard it. Distributing medicine packs, spraying medicine and so on."
The prince said: "But aren't these all necessary for treating fleas?"
"That's true," Shen Zhoujin explained to him: "But, have you always heard that you don't suffer from scarcity but from inequality? Since fleas can transmit diseases, why can Zhongzhou treat fleas but not elsewhere? Why can't Zhongzhou distribute medicine packages elsewhere? Why doesn't Zhongzhou spray spray elsewhere? We also have fleas here. Does the higher-ups not care about our life or death? People including Zhongzhou will also wonder, is it because they get such special treatment because there is some disease here? Surrounding states The county is also worried about whether fleas and rats will come to our place, and we also need spraying kits!"
The prince was silent.
Shen Zhoujin comforted him: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, this kind of thing is for your father to worry about, and it's none of our business. I'll just write a report later and submit the prescription and the epidemic prevention measures here." "
The prince said: "Can't we do this elsewhere? Let the local government do it?"
Shen Zhoujin: "..."
She looked at him for a long time, then sat down and said: "Here, let me give you a simple calculation. For a lower county, calculated as five hundred households, the costs are: First, the medicine in the medicine package costs about two hundred and dozens of kilograms in total. The medicine on the left and right costs about 300 taels of silver; secondly, the medicine for spraying, although it is "water", is refined and does not save any medicine at all, about 500 taels; thirdly, the medicine that will be given to everyone in the future , I took out this medicine myself, but if calculated according to the market price, I can’t even buy it for two thousand taels; fourth, medicine for soaking ropes, medicine for livestock deworming, etc.; fifth, hired workers, cloth; sixth, medicine for soaking ropes, medicine for livestock deworming, etc. , the amount of money collected from mice is small, so I will ignore it for the time being."
"So, even if you don't count the government officials and the camp army's salary, a small county would need at least four to five thousand taels of silver to do such a thing... If I remember correctly, there are more than ninety counties in Zhongzhou. Right? How many counties and counties? How much money does it cost in total? And even if we have money, where can we get so many medicines??"
The prince was stunned.
He could be considered to understand the sufferings of people's livelihood, but if it weren't for her intuitive calculation, he really wouldn't have this concept in his mind.
It turns out that such a thing, which seems so simple, is so expensive?
Shen Zhoujin said: "So, now we can only concentrate our efforts to solve this problem..."
The prince said seriously: "Then am I wrong? Shouldn't I write letters everywhere?"
Shen Zhoujin sighed: "You can't be wrong even if you say it's wrong. Sooner or later, this matter will have to be kept secret. Telling it out will have advantages and disadvantages... It's actually a good thing for everyone to pay attention to it. Even if you don't use medicine, you can clean it up in time. Clean up and develop some hygiene habits, including some folk methods, such as garlic, mint, and mugwort can repel mosquitoes; white vinegar and mothballs can also repel fleas, prevent water accumulation, and focus on rodent control, etc., all of which are very useful Measures.”
As she spoke, she was a little gloating: "In short, the emperor will handle all the troublesome things. If we don't need to do anything, it means there is no trouble."
If it were something else, the emperor might pretend to be pitiful and ask her for supplies and money, but there was no use asking her for this matter... She didn't have so much medicine!
She doesn't specialize in growing medicines, so where did she get so many medicines?
Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be solved by expanding the scope of the problem, nor can it even be solved once and for all. Therefore, no amount of medicine is enough.
In the end, we still have to work hard to publicize it so that everyone can form various hygiene habits. Then we can be self-sufficient in medicinal materials. We can also let pharmacies produce some mothballs and essential oils for sale.
But how should we publicize this matter so that everyone will pay attention to it and learn spontaneously?
Just saying that a certain action has been carried out in such and such a place, the people still have no sense of involvement, and they only hear about it as a new thing, which is not very helpful in forming hygiene habits.
Shen Zhoujin walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back, then turned back and looked at the prince seriously.
The prince couldn't help but sit up straighter and look at her.
Shen Zhoujin said: "Uncle, as a son and minister, you have brought so much trouble to your father, are you ashamed?"
The prince became serious and raised his hands towards the capital: "I am extremely ashamed."
Huo Lingjue just stepped in quickly and saw this scene. He immediately stopped and then retreated silently.
Shen Zhoujin turned his back to the door and put his hands behind his back. He gave him a hook and motioned for him to come in. He said to the prince: "Now there is a way. Once it is done, it will not only allow you to make up for your fault, but also help you." Father, sharing your worries will bring a lot of benefits to the people of the world. Are you willing to do it?"
The prince said seriously: "Yes."
The prince is actually really good.
He is thirty years old, born in the most noble place, with the most noble status, but he has the temperament of a bookworm, simple and obedient.
Looking at his clear eyes, it really makes people feel that his heart is like a child, it really exists.
However, Mr. Shen had a soft heart and was not soft-hearted in deception, so he continued: "It's very simple, write a play."
In fact, many places have their own popular operas. The more earthy, vulgar and local the accent, the easier it is to impress the people and arouse resonance. Therefore, it is actually very simple to make everyone form hygienic habits.
Why are monsters and monsters scary?
Because it's alive.
When it is alive and has an image, it becomes terrifying.
In the same way, "virus" can also be personified.
"Bacteria" is hard to understand nowadays, but the word virus is actually very powerful.
So, write a down-to-earth drama, for example, a lazy woman did not clean the house, and the virus slowly grew up from the dust, creating a ferocious and terrifying image, infecting the whole family, and let’s say a big man He thought that the dragon was strong and the horse was strong, but he never paid attention to the fleas on his body. He shouted every day that there would be plenty of blood for him to drink. As a result, he fell ill and died, even though he was strong, and the whole village was implicated.
In short, it should be down-to-earth, and the lyrics should be straightforward and catchy. Eventually, it can be formed into a hygiene song, and people will know how to do it by following the song. For example, the personal "bathe frequently, change clothes frequently, and wash hands before meals and after using the toilet"
”, for example, at home: “The bedding should be washed and changed frequently, and the corners should be cleaned frequently.”
Of course, it is very difficult to infiltrate all these habits into the play and write it in an interesting way so that everyone can remember it.
