Chapter 149 Good people in troubled times are easy to become thieves
．
com
The prisoners sent here in the past few months have taken risks, and most of the refugees who have stolen and looted accounted for more than 90%, and they have received the heaviest punishments. The local government is eager to kill these refugees who are thieves on the spot. Changsun Geng and the prison island officials
Most of the soldiers were locals, and they also had a repulsive attitude towards the refugee prisoners sent to the island. They just barely treated them equally according to Lin Fu's strict order.
Even if Lin Fu is not a person who freely overflows sympathy, he also knows that in troubled times, good people can easily become thieves, and that rising up is mostly driven by the cruel fact of making a living, so he has no prejudice against these prisoners.
Lin Fu saw that the A-size cell, which could hold three to four hundred people, was crowded with cribs for the sick and injured. He looked with a gloomy face as a young medical apprentice led by Wu Yanqing gave medicine to the injured prisoners.
The young man was already very familiar with the technique, and it was also because he had been exposed to so many injuries. The paper bag containing the wound medicine was at hand. Perhaps because Lin Fu was too nervous watching, the young man accidentally knocked the medical bag to the ground.
.
The scum-like medicine was spilled all over the floor, and Changsun Geng felt heartbroken when he saw it.
The Wuyan Puritans were also strict and would scold the young people they saw nearby.
Lin Fu walked over and squatted down, carefully put the unsoiled medicine on the top into the paper bag, and comforted the young man: "You are already quite proficient in it. It seems that you haven't had enough rest?" Only half of the paper was left.
The medicine package is given to the boy.
"There are too many injuries, and we don't have enough manpower. In addition to taking care of the injured here, we also need to prepare medicines for decoction and application. You can see that these external medicines are also very sloppy," Wu Yanqing said, "
We really don’t have enough manpower.”
"There are two doctors who fled to the forest. I have thought about it. I want to open a medical clinic at the mouth of the river. One person is enough. I will send another person here to help you temporarily before I trouble Mr. Wu.
Work harder and bring a few more apprentices." Lin Fu said.
"Okay, okay, you'd better send me the person now." Wu Yanqing said.
Changsun Geng felt heartbroken. The more people he needed, the more money he would spend. He whispered: "If we add more people, the island will be unable to make ends meet again."
"This is also troublesome," Lin Fu frowned and said to Changsun Geng: "Changsun Secretary, you write a report to the Inspectorate in the name of Prison Island, bluntly stating that the corporal punishment in various prefectures and counties is too severe, especially in Gutang County.
When prisoners were sent, nine out of ten were seriously injured. Is Gutang County inflicting corporal punishment or beheading? Seventeen prisoners sent from Gutang County who were seriously injured and died. What kind of corporal punishment they received, where they were injured, and when they died. In the article
Write them all clearly, and do not use euphemism in your tone. From now on, prisoners sent from Gutang County with fractures and injuries will be rejected. If an injured prisoner sent from Gutang County dies, his body will be sent directly to the Gutang County Yamen.
.Gutang County is not afraid of poking holes, so just let them continue to poke holes..."
"This..." Changsun Geng looked at Lin Fu hesitantly, "Submit this document to have a grudge with Gutang County."
"Did I make too many enemies in Jiangning?" Lin Fu looked at the injured prisoners in the cell and asked with a frown, "We are doing business here, so there is nothing to worry about; the person named Liang in Gutang County also
I only dare to pinch soft persimmons."
Lin Fu was still worried about the large number of refugees stranded on the river beach on the north bank of Chaotiandang. He would rather make some small troubles at this time and force Jiangning Prefecture and Gutang County to solve the problem than to have floods hit the land in the future and corpses everywhere. Even though he worked hard, he would not
Does anyone know if anyone knows.
Wu Yanqing was in urgent need of manpower, and Lin Fu didn't waste any time. He immediately sent people to find Lin Mengde at the mouth of the river, and asked him to send two doctors and several apprentices who had escaped from the forest to send a boat over for emergency response.
Lin Fu had an idea, which was to train as many qualified doctors as possible.
At that time, military camps also used medical officers, but the number was very small. There was almost one military medical officer for each town with more than 10,000 people. Generals who paid attention to the medical issues in military camps might add two military medical officers to help them. They usually treat headaches, foot pains, and training injuries.
, barely enough, but when a large number of casualties occur during war, this manpower will not be able to cope with the problem at all.
In fierce battles, there are always a small number of people who die on the spot. Most of them die from blood loss or infection after injury, resulting in a large number of attrition. There are many factors that affect the morale of the soldiers. The injured cannot receive timely and effective treatment. Immediately is not the most important thing.
It cannot be ignored either.
Of course, the profession of doctor has very high requirements for practitioners, and the training time is long. Those who have the ability to train their children to be literate for a long time are keen on fame. Although the profession of doctor is also respected, it is not classified as a gentry after all.
This has also resulted in the scarcity of doctors in the world.
Even if Lin Fu cannot completely solve these problems, he must try to improve this problem as much as possible.
After escaping from Shanglinli this time, Lin Fu did not care about the others and could not take care of them. The two doctors from Shanglinli Medical Center and several apprentices took them out together.
Lin Tingxun was also a visionary person. The Lin family established their clan in Shanglinli. Lin Tingxun did many things that benefited the local area. One of them was to build a school in Shanglinli.
Different from ordinary private schools, the scale of the Lin Clan School is much larger. There are four teachers invited. Children of the main family and side branches can attend the school for free. Children of the non-Lin Clan in the countryside can enter the school through connections and only charge a small amount of rice.
money.
Lin Fu and Lin Jingzhong are full of knowledge, and the three Zhao Hu brothers can benefit from this. This also makes the literacy rate of the villagers in Shanglinli far higher than the average level of the world. This also makes the Lin family's industries use more books.
It is possible for a village boy to become a shopkeeper.
In addition to Lin Fu, there were more than a thousand refugee villagers who were directly picked up from Shanglinli. Lin Fu asked Zhao Mengde to work with the checkpoint on the north bank and use the ferry from Xihedu to pick up all the villagers from Shanglinli who had fled to the north bank.
They came to the estuary for resettlement. In addition to those who could seek refuge with relatives and friends, there were almost 3,000 villagers stranded at the estuary. Lin Fu set up two porridge farms at the estuary to provide relief. Every day, cooking porridge required 2,000 kilograms of rice.
Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong and others were extremely busy.
There are four to five hundred young people among the villagers, and one hundred, forty or fifty of them are literate.
Lin Fu looked at the more than three hundred injured prisoners lying in the cell with broken bones and bruises, and thought that it wouldn't be too much to send Wu Yanqing twenty or thirty apprentices over.
With so many wounded prisoners to practice on, apprentices should learn to treat wounds quickly.
When the injured prisoners in the cell were brought here after being tortured, they thought their lives were in danger. How could they expect to receive careful treatment? Besides, the food here was much more delicious than the bark, straw, stems, and rice bran when they were refugees. They thought
To heaven on earth. When I came to the island, I heard a lot of rumors about Lin Fu. When I saw the real person, many people would get up and kowtow to thank them if they weren't worried about the heat in their bodies. But they didn't know that Lin Fu was thinking about killing them.
Give apprentices training.
"Mr. Wu, I have something to discuss with you..." Lin Fu said to Wu Yanqing.
"What's going on?" Wu Yanqing dropped the matter at hand and walked with Lin Fu into the corridor outside.
"The external medicines used here are very large. Only apprentices are used to grind the medicine powder, and the manpower is far from enough. I see that Mr. Wu and several younger brothers are very tired," Lin Fu said, "At first, I thought about grinding the powder from the prisoners.
Select a few honest, smart and capable people for you to use. After thinking about it carefully, I found there is a better way, so I discussed it with Mr. Wu."
"What method?" Wu Yanqing asked.
"I know that most of the people who run medicine shops in the city have been treating patients. They now prepare medicines or grind them into powders, or ask the patients' families to take them back directly to decoct them. There are some common diseases that require the use of medicines in powder form.
The shop will grind the matched powder in advance and wrap it in paper. When someone comes to see a doctor, they will take the medicine package and leave. Xuanjitang’s tiger bone powder is very famous in Jiangning. I think it is the method developed by Mr. Wu," Lin
Fu said, "Mr. Wu's prescription is better than others in stopping bleeding and healing wounds. The medicine for wounds can be ground into powder and stored for a long time. I want to set up a medicine shop at the mouth of the river and hire some people to specialize in making this powder. First, it is used for
To treat injured prisoners, there is no need to waste manpower here. Secondly, it can be sold as trauma medicine to outsiders. If there is a surplus, Mr. Wu will take 20% of the profit. Mr. Wu, what do you think..."
"That's fine," Wu Yanqing said, "let's not mention the profit sharing. How much is a method worth? Outside of Prison Island, the rumors from others are quite unfavorable to you. I will go back to the city occasionally.
, there are always many people who come to persuade me to leave the place where this is wrong, and they also say that if they are coerced by you, they will try their best to find a way for me. But I am thinking that it will be those people who are full of benevolence and morality to control the prison island.
, who would use medicine to treat injured prisoners as carefully as you?"
"Mr. Wu is too praised," Lin Fu said. "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. Love of money is not an ungentleman. Mr. Wu opened a garden in the bamboo house and planted some herbs. I heard people say that Wu
The gentleman has a great ambition to build a medicinal garden to collect herbs from all over the world. This ambition will benefit the country and the people, but it requires financial resources to achieve it..."
"Well," Wu Yanqing thought for a moment and said, "Grinding the medicine has little benefit and requires a lot of manpower. If there is a profit, I will take 10% of it. It's just that Wu is not very capable, so I'm afraid that you will sacrifice your own business.
.”
"I am a man who loves money..." Lin Fu said with a smile, and stopped disturbing Wu Yanqing's efforts to save lives and heal the wounded. He walked around elsewhere in the prison and rushed Lin Mengde to personally send two doctors and several apprentices to the prison.
Come to the island.
Lin Mengde knew that Lin Fu wanted to hide at this time and not participate in the Lin family's layoff of Xiang Yong. If he had something to do during the day, he would go to the island to find Lin Fu, find Lin Fu's others, and said to him: "What a coincidence today, the Xihehui's boat just arrived
Send Miss Liu, her father, brother and sister-in-law over. After Liu An'er occupied the city, he did not restrict the civilians from leaving. They walked on the road for five days and only arrived at the checkpoint at the Gutang County camp yesterday morning. They reported your name, Liu Xilin sent
I sent people to the ferry, drove Sun Jingtang to the north, and personally escorted him across the river. Now things are better."
There were many things that Liu Yue'er didn't say, but Lin Fu could also hear from other people's mouths. Liu Yue'er's parents, brother and sister-in-law were quite mean and snobbish. Liang Zuoren sent Liu Yue'er to the Gu family to be a cook.
Greedy for his money. Lin Mengde promised that once Liu Yue'er's parents, brother and sister-in-law came over safely, he could officially take Liu Yue'er as his concubine, without having to worry about others using "filial piety" as an excuse.
