Early the next morning, in the "field hospital" of the winter hunting camp, the eleven wounded soldiers saluted Li Yuanjia anxiously, not knowing what they were about to face.
This is the King of Han, the person at the top of the Tang Dynasty’s title pyramid.
How could such a big shot suddenly come to a place like this? Come to see these injured soldiers? You must know that in addition to the strong smell of sweat and blood, the smell here is more of the smell of boiled herbs.
Ordinary people simply can't stand it, let alone a king who grew up in fine clothes and fine food?
So not only the injured soldiers, but also the doctors responsible for treating these wounded soldiers were also very panicked.
Li Yuanjia was not surprised at all by this. In fact, he knew that in front of these people, he was a high-ranking and powerful person, and he was also the top one. If he really showed the so-called "love soldiers as sons", not only these small soldiers
He must be extremely panicked, and even he himself may be very awkward.
After traveling through time for so many years, Li Yuanjia has become accustomed to it.
Just like Chun Yan and Liu Mei next to him, their relationship is naturally very close, but no matter how close the relationship is, the huge gap in identity and status cannot be ignored, otherwise Han Shan will definitely teach the two girls how to behave in every minute.
So after just waving his hand to let them get up, Li Yuanjia just looked at the surrounding environment.
The most common camp in the army is old and dirty.
There were six wounded soldiers sleeping in one tent. Although they were not crowded together, the space was definitely not spacious. And everyone's bedding and clothes were all mixed together in a mess, exuding the odor
A smell that makes people want to run outside the camp...
The most speechless thing is that there is a huge puddle of sewage at the door of the tent!
Take a look at the bodies of these wounded soldiers. If they were just stained with dust and blood yesterday, Li Yuanjia can guarantee that they would never be so dirty! The thick layer of dirt on their necks and behind their ears is obviously caused by long hair.
It was accumulated over time without taking a shower, especially the hair of the two sergeants. It was greasy, as if they had applied a lot of the worst quality hair wax. Li Yuanjia didn't even want to take a second look!
That's why the smell in the tent is so sour.
Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is the linen used to wrap their wounds. In Li Yuanjia's opinion, those things should be called rags.
It was tattered and very dirty. I didn’t even know if someone had wrapped the wound before. The blood stains on it had a faint smell of old...
This thing is wrapped around the wound. How long do they have to live to avoid infection?
"Hiss..."
Taking a deep breath, Li Yuanjia suppressed the irritability in his heart. As a doctor...at least a former doctor, he really couldn't accept what he saw in front of him, but his reason told him
, all this happened in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, it is really a normal thing.
The ancient times of more than a thousand years were an era of extreme scarcity of materials.
Even though Li Yuanjia was well-dressed and well-fed on weekdays, he wore countless sets of clothes, and there were also many kinds of various dresses stipulated in the "Five Rites". But for ordinary people, it is very common for ordinary people to have new clothes every year.
It’s all a luxury wish!
Clean linen to wrap the wound?
Such a waste!
There is also the accumulation of old dust on the bodies of these sergeants. It does not mean that they do not like to be clean and are unwilling to take regular baths. It is really difficult to take a hot bath after autumn.
The Tang Dynasty in this era did not lack water, but it lacked fuel to heat the water.
Li Yuanjia loves to be clean because the palace has everything he needs, and there are people who boil water for him every day. But for ordinary people, not to mention that the utensils for boiling bath water are different from the utensils for boiling water for drinking. They are bulky and expensive.
How can water fuel be so easy to obtain?
If a person wants to take a quick bath, the price he pays is quite high.
For example, if you want to boil hot water enough for one person to take a bath, you must have at least several basic conditions: hundreds of liters of water, enough fuel, and a large pot for boiling water!
There is no running water, so you can only choose it by yourself; without gas or electric water heater, you can only cut firewood yourself or buy firewood, or more expensive and high-end fuels such as charcoal and briquettes.
Of course, more importantly, you also need a big pot!
Traditional pottery pots have slow heat conduction and waste fuel, but iron pots with fast heat conduction are expensive. Even small pots for cooking were difficult to popularize in the Tang Dynasty, let alone large pots for boiling bath water!
So it was only after this era that Li Yuanjia discovered that it wasn't that people didn't like cleanliness, it was actually that they couldn't afford to be clean! Even more than a thousand years later, there are still many people who can't afford to be clean because the environment they work in is very difficult.
In addition to sweating countless times every day, they also have to pay a price they are unwilling to pay if they want to take a hot bath...
However, understanding is understanding. After seeing this situation, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but frown.
so terrible.
Even if the injuries of the six sergeants in this tent are not serious, they are all injured on the arms or calves, but after the treatment by the doctors, maybe it is better to do nothing, right?
After thinking for a while, Li Yuanjia looked at the frightened middle-aged man next to him: "You took care of all their injuries? What's your name?"
"If you get back to the king, I will handle it all."
Quickly bowing, the middle-aged man quickly replied: "The lower official's name is Chen Feng, and he is a medical worker at the Imperial Medical Office... I have indeed treated the injuries of these sergeants."
"Oh? Medical worker?"
After hearing the other party's answer, Li Yuanjia narrowed his eyes slightly.
The medical institutions in the Tang Dynasty...or Chang'an are mainly divided into two categories. One is responsible for the palace's medical affairs, such as the Shang Yao Bureau, which is affiliated to the palace province. In addition, there are menxia province and palace officials who specialize in treating concubines.
It was a place where palace residents and guilty concubines were treated; the other was the Imperial Medical Office, which means the Ministry of Health.
The Imperial Medical Office is further divided into five categories: physicians, acupuncturists, masseurs, curse practitioners, and herbalists.
Doctors treat people, acupuncturists list acupuncture separately, masseurs perform regular health massage, and herbalists are responsible for managing the herbal garden where medicines are grown...
To be honest, these are all serious positions.
There is only one curse master who is a bit ridiculous and uses talismans to ward off evil spirits and cure diseases. When he saw this name for the first time, Li Yuanjia almost thought that he had traveled to an alien version of the Tang Dynasty, and there was a great mage who had mastered the forbidden curse.
Such existence.
Doctors who treat people have different statuses.
The highest one is naturally called a physician, the intermediate professional title is a medical engineer, and the junior professional title is a doctor. If you want to be promoted to a professional title, "just like the law of the country", you have to take an exam! Only after passing the exam can you be promoted to a professional title.
Being able to reach the level of a medical engineer shows that Chen Feng's level should not be bad.
only……
Look at the terrible environment of this camp, and look at the tattered and dirty wound dressings on the wounded soldiers. Without even opening it to look inside, Li Yuanjia had already made a decision for Chen Feng to treat his injuries.
