Seeing Shen Yang nodded in agreement, Han Qian asked Fan Xicheng: "I asked you to hire some stonecutters, have you found any suitable manpower?"
To isolate the source of infection, in addition to staying away from infected water, the most important task is to deal with human and animal feces and other filth.
Especially among the 30,000 to 40,000 infected and hungry people gathered on the lake beach, there must be a large number of schistosomiasis eggs in their feces, which must be exterminated.
Han Qian racked his brains and the cheapest and relatively reliable method he could think of was to use quicklime.
Five or six hundred years ago, there were medical books recording that the lime produced by burning blue and white stone in a stove was useful in treating sores and wounds. It was also the cheapest and most readily available disinfectant in the world.
Qingbaishi (limestone) is produced in the mountains behind the farm. Although Han Qian checked some information on the ancient method of firing lime, they were all similar, but he still felt that the information on the paper was shallow. He still had no idea, so he ordered Fan Xicheng to hire someone near the farm. Several craftsmen who could burn lime felt that this should be more reliable.
"I found five old craftsmen. With the current situation in the villa, I paid three times the wages before they were willing to come over. I walked along the mountain in the past two days and initially chose to build a kiln at the inlet below the villa. I am waiting for you, young master, to come over. Determine it." Fan Xicheng said.
"Mr. Shen, do you want to take a look?" Han Qian asked Shen Yang.
Shen Yang has always been good at the study of managing the world and applying it. Today, he was lucky enough to read "Epidemic Shuishui" and knew that lime is of great use.
The epidemic-stricken and hungry people are still unavailable for the time being, and all the officials are basically recommended by the Xinchang Hou Mansion. Even if they are in place, even the military office has not been established at this time. There will be chaos in the early stage, and there are too many things to do. many.
Shen Yang saw that Han Qian had long thought of building a kiln to burn lime, which was of course the best. Then the cost would be calculated and the military government would price the purchase.
It has become a habit for hungry people to defecate everywhere. Even if the soldiers are driven into the hungry people and force them to go to the toilet together, the thirty to forty thousand hungry people will produce a terrifying amount of defecation every day.
The powerful do not engage in lowly affairs, let alone deal with filthy things such as defecation and defecation.
However, Han Qian knew that this was the most important link, and he could not ignore it because it was dirty, and it was better to build a kiln and burn lime sooner rather than later.
Before the villa can produce lime, it even needs to be purchased from elsewhere at a high price for emergencies.
Han Qian was about to accompany Shen Yang out to inspect the location of the lime kiln. At this time, Zhang Qian and three burly captains in military attaché uniforms came running over to see Shen Yang.
Including a large area of beach land, Taowuji north of Chishan Lake, which ranges from three to five miles in depth from north to south and twelve or thirteen miles in length from east to west, as well as part of the mountainous land north of Taowuji. This time the entire area was covered. It was conquered and built as a garrison for the Longque Army.
In Taowu Ji, like Qiuhushan Villa, the heads of families who have official status are naturally exempted; and the tenant farmers who are employed in farming on these farms can also choose to stay or leave.
All other households will be evicted and resettled in other places in Jiangcheng County. The original fields and houses will be requisitioned by the military government.
Li Zheng Zhang Qian was originally a large family in Taowuji, owning 2,000 acres of fertile farmland. Although he was exempted and the land was not directly requisitioned, his family's farmhouse was located below the Qiuhu Mountain Villa, and the epidemic-hit and hungry people gathered around it. It was so much that it frightened him.
Of course, Zhang Qian is a small and upright person and has no ability to prevent the Longque Army from setting up the military headquarters in Taowu. However, he also has some connections in Jiangcheng County and can hand over the land and house here to Taowu. Find another piece of land outside the collection.
However, Zhang Qian was unwilling to abandon the fertile farmland that had been managed by three generations of the Zhang family and start from scratch on a piece of wasteland elsewhere. He first moved his family to the county town, and he stayed with two servants to watch. situation.
When Fan Wucheng was shot and killed by Zhao Wuji, Han Qian met Zhang Qian, but they had no deeper contact and could only be regarded as acquaintances. He politely invited him into the hall to meet Shen Yang.
The three generals who came with Zhang Qian to see Shen Yang were Du Yuhou Guo Liang and two battalion commanders of the Longque Army who were stationed there.
After the Battle of Runzhou, the Longque Army only had 500 weak and old soldiers who had not been disbanded.
In recent years, Guo Liang, the Marquis of Duyu, who was the only senior general of the Longque Army, was not implicated and held accountable after the Battle of Runzhou, but he has been forgotten by the court. He was only in his thirties at this time. Guo Liang established military exploits at a young age and was awarded the post of General Du Yuhou. This was the year when he established his military exploits. The wasted years were really a kind of suffering.
This time, Emperor Tianyou appointed Linjiang Marquis Yang Yuanpu as General Longque and took charge of the Longque Army. He also established a new garrison military office to recruit hungry civilians as military households so that in the future he could organize and train military households and reorganize the Longque Army. Guo Liang He still served as the Du Yuhou, and together with Li Zhigao, the eldest son of Xinchang Hou, and Chai Jian, the second son-in-law, he was one of the five generals under Linjiang Hou Yang Yuanpu and deputy commander Chen De.
However, Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, has no intention of using Guo Liang for the time being. Not only did he kick Guo Liang over to be responsible for the construction of the camp military mansion, but he also took away more than 400 of Guo Liang's former subordinates and left them behind. Guo Liang brought more than a hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people to Taowu.
Guo Liang was full of resentment. Even though he did not dare to disobey the order, he brought his troops to Taowu and gathered his troops. He only built gates and fences on both sides of the camp area determined by the Ministry of War, and then divided his troops to guard the east and west shores of the lake beach. Exports and other things are ignored, let alone participating in relief for the hungry people affected by the epidemic.
As a long history officer, Shen Yang was not appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Tunying, but no one else took up the post of Commander-in-Chief of Tunying. Shen Yang was the top person in charge of the Military Mansion of Tunying.
When he learned that Shen Yang was coming, Guo Liang could only rush over to see him with his two battalion commanders who were also full of resentment after being kicked over.
Du Yuhou was already a mid-level and senior general. Kong Xirong's father, Kong Zhou, was the deputy commander of the You Shenwu Army and was only one level higher than Du Yuhou.
Han Qian was interested in making friends with Guo Liang, who was ostracized by Xin Changhou Li Pu and the others, so he politely offered the seat next to Shen Yang to Guo Liang, but Guo Liang didn't even look at Han Qian, but stood and looked at the young man Zhao Wuji behind Han Qian. After a few glances, he went to talk to Shen Yang.
Seeing Guo Liang's arrogant look, Han Qian gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking that this guy with no eyesight deserves to be benched all these years!
Of course, Han Qian was very proud that Guo Liang could notice the young Zhao Wuji. Although this young man always stood quietly in the corner, he was always threatening like a cheetah squatting in the shadows.
Fan Wucheng was originally a son of a military family. He had not practiced martial arts since he was a child. After the death of his father and brother, he passed to Fan Xicheng. His skills were even better than those of Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng.
When it comes to fighting alone, the three or four thin Zhao Wuji are no match for Fan Wucheng. However, in the small shabby room, Fan Wucheng, who was trying to drive people away, was mercilessly shot by Zhao Wuji with a bow and arrow. The whole process made Lin Haizheng, Fan Dahei and the others merciless.
Unbelievable.
Logically speaking, the narrower the space, the harder it is to kill enemies with bows and arrows.
Under Han Qian's strong pressure, Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng did not dare to get angry with Zhao Wuji, and often competed together.
In a head-on confrontation, Zhao Wuji was still too weak when standing in front of Fan Dahei's strong body that looked like half an iron tower. However, if the situation was restricted, Fan Dahei had to join forces with Lin Haizheng in order to guard against Zhao Wuji's dangerous body.
And an unexpected attack.
Zhao Wuji was not the kind of invincible general who charged into battle, but was born an assassin hiding deep in the shadows.
It's a pity that Fan Xicheng and the others are strong soldiers who are used to fighting on the battlefield. Zhao Wuji wants to improve himself in another direction, but they can't give him good guidance.
Han Qian asked Zhao Wuji to follow him and learn from his wild ideas and random knowledge. He usually focused on training in lurking, scouting, reconnaissance, and survival in the wild.
To become a qualified killer or assassin in this world, the requirements are definitely much higher than those of a general charging on the battlefield.
As for the training of the soldiers below, in addition to strengthening their physical foundation with basic fists, feet, swords and bows, Han Qian also focused on cultivating their reconnaissance, scouting, lurking and other abilities.
Han Qian thought that one day, the trajectory of history would be irreversible and he would unfortunately become Da Chu's "rebellious party". At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he would not think of using fifty or sixty men to fight head-on against the pursuers.
Strengthening the loyalty of these family soldiers, training them in latent reconnaissance and survival in the wild, and ultimately protecting him from crossing the mountains and escaping from Dachu, is what Han Qian is most concerned about.
Likewise, this is still much more difficult than cultivating generals to charge into battle. Astronomy, geography, dialects, character customs, survival in the wild, first aid, and even dirty tricks such as sneaking around are all involved.
However, in the eyes of Fan Xicheng and others, Han Qian was just messing around.
However, after the completion of "Epidemic Water Shu", the trust that Han Qian gained from his father Han Daoxun could not be overturned by the opinions of Fan Xicheng's family soldiers.
Therefore, Han Qian was determined to mess around, and Fan Xicheng and others could only cooperate.
Of course, it has only been less than a month, so it is impossible to see any immediate effects, but it is not without benefits.
Thirteen of the forty children of the family soldiers are real family members. Han Daoxun used to have a loose command. These family members have practiced martial arts since childhood, are proficient in writing, and are strong and confident.
Although Han Qian forcibly suppressed these thirteen children during training and selected the children of the hungry people to lead the teams, and severely punished anyone who dared to resist, but in any case, the children of the hungry people did not have self-confidence at the beginning, and
All the children in the family were dissatisfied.
However, the resilience shown by children of hungry people is much stronger than that of children born at home.
Perhaps struggling under strong pressure to survive all year round, these teenagers have done a lot of sneaking around and watching people's movements. They have become more adaptable in training subjects such as scouting, reconnaissance, and lurking, and have gradually become less timid than they were at the beginning.
Han Qian asked Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng to take these teenagers and follow Shen Yang's instructions to participate in the relief work. He also took this opportunity to strengthen their adaptability and resilience.
