Powders and pills are nothing new. Many medical clinics in the city sell Chinese patent medicines such as Jinchuang Powder, Tiger Bone Powder, and Buxue Pills. Regarding the processing of medicinal materials and Chinese patent medicines, famous doctors of the previous generation have also
There are special works handed down from generation to generation.
Today's proprietary Chinese medicines are mostly packaged in paper, which has the disadvantages of being difficult to preserve and susceptible to moisture. Powders, pills and other proprietary Chinese medicines launched by medical clinics can only be circulated within a small area. In addition to the above shortcomings, unlike those of medical clinics,
Scale and radiation range also have a lot to do with it.
Lin Fu considered that even if a large number of medical officers were assigned to the army, the problem of medication would still be a headache. It would always be extremely troublesome to carry a large amount of medicinal materials with the army to make temporary preparations and then grind or decoct the decoction. Equipping the army with commonly used proprietary Chinese medicines would at least be helpful.
Marching operations are very necessary. In particular, external powders to stop bleeding and prevent wound infection are provided as standard rations. Soldiers can promptly treat themselves when injured, which will greatly reduce casualties and casualties caused by blood loss and wound infection.
Speaking of the problem that Chinese patent medicines are difficult to preserve and susceptible to moisture, the solution is also very simple. Packaging in small porcelain bottles with cork stoppers is easy to achieve; Liu Yuer, Xiaoman and the others bought rouge, powder and other materials from Dongshi.
It is packaged in exquisite porcelain bottles, but the cost is higher.
Although porcelain is expensive, once it reaches a large scale, even if the craftsmanship cannot be improved much, the cost will drop significantly. A thick white porcelain bowl used by ordinary villagers only costs three to five cents.
He rushed Lin Jingzhong to Prison Island to talk about the matter. Lin Fu grabbed Lin Mengde and Lin Jingzhong, and asked Wu Yanqing to come over to talk about the large-scale production of hemostatic and healing drugs.
After listening to Lin Fu briefly explain his ideas, Wu Yanqing was not sure, but felt it was worth a try, and said: "If this method is really successful, it can save a lot of effort..."
Those who are responsible for concocting medicinal materials and manufacturing powders and other Chinese patent medicines in medical clinics are apprentices. This is a tradition that has been formed for many years. For medical clinics, it costs no money to use apprentices, but they do not consider that the number of apprentices is scarce, and doctors should be the most important
Assistants spend most of their time doing chores, which is a huge waste of scarce resources. Medical hospitals are also limited by this tradition, and without sufficient manpower, they cannot expand their production scale.
Lin Fu has nothing to be unsure about. Yunnan Baiyao in later generations is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine powder for healing. Although Wu Yanqing's prescription is not more effective than Yunnan Baiyao, there is not much difference in essence.
Although porcelain bottles are fragile, they are small and thick, but also quite strong.
There are too many injured prisoners being sent to Prison Island at this time. Jiyun Society has to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials every once in a while. It can be said that setting up a medicinal materials shop at the mouth of the river has been ready for a long time. Now it has accumulated a batch
Medicinal materials. Jiangning also has official kilns, and private kilns produce porcelain. The preparation of Chinese patent medicine powder is a relatively mature set of traditional techniques and equipment in the world. Wu Yanqing has a complete set. If the price is high, the medicinal materials shops in the city also have spare parts.
The equipment will be sold. Jiyunshe just needs to organize a group of skilled and capable people who can start producing hemostatic medicine with a little training.
There is a shortage of everything here at the mouth of the river, except for manpower.
Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong said that he immediately sent people to the medicinal material shop in the city to buy two sets of powder preparation equipment. Jiawu Yanqing's side had three sets of equipment, one set was taken to Prison Island to imitate, and the other two sets were first organized by some people.
We will first trial-produce a small batch of hemostatic medicine to meet the needs of Prison Island.
***********
After it got dark, Lin Fu returned to Hekou Thatched Cottage and saw Liu Yue'er sitting in the room with a sad face. He walked around behind her, held her as warm and fragrant as jade in his arms, and asked her softly: "How are your parents, brothers and sisters-in-law?"
Why are you looking so sad when you come here? Where do you arrange for them to live? Do you want to arrange a better house for them here and arrange a helper for them? Newcomers will inevitably be frightened. Please spend more time with them these days.
Follow them. Who do you want to ask to go over and talk to your parents on our behalf?"
"You are really easy to talk to, but it's a pity that they are not easy to talk to," Liu Yue'er said distressedly, "The relationship between father and daughter, mother, and brother and sister has not been finished yet when they came here, they asked for five hundred taels of silver, otherwise the marriage would not be allowed.
…”
"Five hundred taels of silver is not much, but you are priceless to me." Lin Fu said.
"It's not serious to tell you anything," Liu Yue'er blushed in embarrassment, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said angrily, "They sold me once, twice, how could they be allowed to sell me again?
I'm selling for the third time? They all say that filial piety must be fulfilled. How can people fulfill their filial piety with parents, brothers and sisters like this?"
Lin Fu touched Liu Yue'er's cheek. Being surrounded by parents, brothers and sisters like this, the most uncomfortable thing was for her.
At that time, the Liu family married her to the seriously ill son of the Xiao family to celebrate the occasion. The Liu family was greedy for the financial gifts given by the Xiao family and did not consider that the Xiao family's son was about to die. Later, Liang Zuoren gave Liu Yuer'er to the Gu family as a cook, which was also the case.
The Liu family was greedy for the three taels of silver that Liang Zuoren paid every month. Now they came over and asked for 500 taels of silver. They were really greedy.
"I really want to never meet or recognize them..." Liu Yuer said with a sigh.
"This is easy," Lin Fu said with a smile, "but you can't blame me for being cruel in the future."
"Ah," Liu Yue'er looked at Lin Fu in surprise and said, "They are my parents, brothers and sister-in-law after all. Don't mess around."
"They are my Mount Tai after all," Lin Fu shook Liu Yue'er's hand and said with a smile, "Why would I do this? I'll send someone to send them somewhere to enjoy themselves, so that they don't bother you.
.”
Lin Fu immediately called Lin Mengde and told him about Liu Yuer's parents.
Lin Mengde couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, and said: "You are really blinded by money. Having this kind of relatives is not ten times or a hundred times better than five hundred taels of silver. What should we do, or should we delay things first?" Such relatives
It would be harmful to Lin Fu. If that were the case, he would not even suggest that Lin Fu take Liu Yue'er as his concubine. Anyway, Liu Yue'er was in Lin Fu's room, and her status was not important, so it was hard to say how important she was.
"You do this. Give them money and deceive them into getting the marriage certificate first," Lin Fu said. "Find a few people to cover their faces at night and throw them to the north bank. Remember to get the money back. Just tell the outside world that they will be taken away."
He was sent to the city to enjoy his blessings. At this time, people on the north bank will not starve to death, so I told the people on the north bank not to recognize each other."
Lin Mengde thought that people on the north bank would not die of hunger, but the bones would be a few taels lighter if they were hungry. Since Lin Fu could be so "cruel", of course he had no objection and went out to make arrangements.
When a man takes a concubine before he is married, the etiquette is simple. He is usually taken in from a side door in a small sedan chair, and the so-called betrothal gifts are mostly naked monetary transactions. Liu Mengde is considered an elder, so he took the silver to go with him.
Liu Yue'er's family agreed to get married. Lin Fu set up a banquet in the thatched cottage and invited Liu Yue'er's parents, brother and sister-in-law to come over. The marriage was finally settled.
Liu Yue'er still didn't know what method Lin Fu wanted to use. Although she had little affection for her parents, brother and sister-in-law, she always felt uneasy and depressed after a meal of wine. Her parents, brother and sister-in-law had a meal with
I ate happily, but seeing Lin Fu giving the money so readily, I felt a little regretful that I had underestimated the number. Five hundred taels of silver can buy 70 to 80 acres of good land in Dongyang, and can also ensure that the family has enough food and clothing, but who is born
Do you think you have too little money?
The four people left from the thatched cottage, and they didn't mind that Lin Fu didn't see them off. They didn't feel that the light outside the thatched cottage was much darker than when they came. When they were wondering why there was no one around, they didn't even notice that several people quickly came up from behind and covered their mouths.
They covered their noses, covered their eyes with cloth strips, tied them up, stuffed their mouths with cloth dumplings, and put them all in big cloth bags, head and feet.
At this time, Lin Mengde came out of the darkness. Without saying a word, he made a gesture and asked someone to take off their tooth tags and send them to the north bank of the river to throw them into a pile of homeless people. At the same time, all the people who were stationed in the Jiyun Society on the north bank were removed.
Put on a new face.
Lin Mengde laughed in his heart and said: Without Lin Fu's relationship, they would have been refugees near Chaotianyi at this time. Since they are greedy, it would be worthy of them to beat them back to their original form.
***************
Lin Fu was with Liu Yue'er at this time. Lin Mengde saw that the matter was done, so he was not in a hurry to report to Lin Fu and went to do other things first.
There were suddenly three to four thousand refugees at the mouth of the river, and the number of people continued to increase. It was not known when the situation in Hongzepu would stabilize. Two porridge shops were opened here, and each person was provided with vegetable porridge at half a kilogram of rice per day. They could only make do with it.
Sustaining starvation and long-term resettlement are still big problems.
Lin Mengde has been responsible for the resettlement of refugees and refugees in the past few days. He is really busy, but at least he has some clues. Thanks to Lin Fu having done so much work in Hekou before, he has laid a solid foundation.
The carriage roads, north-south long streets, and back streets are basically built. Later maintenance, excavation of drainage ditches, planting of road trees, and buildings such as shops, houses, warehouses, and grass markets along the streets have all been built one after another, all of which require a lot of work.
Labor. In order to accommodate the labor force, Jiyunshe plans to immediately expand the river wharf and river bank wharf. The spinning and weaving workshops that were previously used to house the families of the displaced workers are also being prepared. Although the number of people that can be accommodated is limited, but things
Once you have a clue, it will be much easier to follow the example. Continuing to expand the spinning and weaving workshops and building other workshops and workshops can itself accommodate a large amount of labor.
The first thing to do now is to sort out those who have expertise and skills among the refugees, and use the manpower rationally.
Generally speaking, resettling refugees requires a large amount of arable land. Jiangdong County has been prosperous for hundreds of years and has been fully developed. Naturally, it cannot accommodate more immigrants. The influx of refugees not only causes a large number of public security problems, but also causes local problems.
There was a serious surplus of labor force, which caused labor prices to plummet, so that ordinary local tenants were even hostile to immigrants.
As a man of two generations, Lin Fu certainly knew that working-for-work relief could effectively solve the problem of short-term refugees and stranded refugees. In addition, large-scale household handicrafts, workshop handicrafts, and even larger-scale handicraft factories could accommodate more people than pure arable land farming.
of remaining labor.
Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong and others followed Lin Fu's two ideas to resettle the refugees. After the initial chaos, five or six days passed, and many things became clear. With so many people stranded at the mouth of the river, everything seemed to be lost.
It was so orderly. Even Lin Mengde himself couldn't imagine it being so smooth at first. Although it was very hard, he was also very excited.
From childhood to adulthood, Lin Mengde had seen many characters in his whole life, but he had never seen anyone whose skills in managing the world were comparable to Lin Fu's. He often thought that Lin Fu was really content to lead the people on Changshan Island in the chaos.
To survive in the current situation?
Those who are capable should know the way of dormancy. The current situation is chaotic, but it has not become irredeemable. It is said that the times create heroes. If the times do not grant them, it is difficult for heroes to emerge. Don't look at what Liu An'er is doing in Haozhou, Dongyang and other places at this time.
In just a few days, they claimed to have an army of 200,000, but the earliest jumping grasshoppers in ancient times were mostly destined to be wedding dresses for others. When the time comes, Lin Mengde believes that Lin Fu will also respond.
From time to time, it can be seen from today's events that Lin Fu is by no means a hypocritical person who sticks to "loyalty, justice, benevolence and filial piety".
Lin Mengde made up his mind not to think too much about this issue. The most important thing was to lay a solid foundation step by step. He found Lin Jingzhong and Qian Xiaowu to discuss the details of opening a medicine shop in Hekou.
Since there were nearly 300 injured prisoners on the prison island who needed medicine every day, Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong and the others gave priority to setting up the medicine shop.
Apart from surrounding houses, there are not many newly built houses at the embankment and river mouth, but there are still some that can be used as medicine shops. I bought two sets of old equipment from the medicine shop in the city and started using them. The key is the problem of manpower. Wu Yanqing
Unable to escape from the Prison Island, he recommended his son Wu Jiye, who was also a famous doctor in Jiangning City, to work in the medicine shop. He then transferred an apprentice from the Prison Island who had already mastered the skills to come over as an assistant, and hired someone from among the refugees from Shanglin.
Twenty literate young men were recruited to work as apprentices in the medicine shop. In just two or three days, the medicine shop was built according to Lin Fu's requirements.

This holiday was really painful. Little Shota didn’t even take two steps before she shouted: Dad, hug me!
