Chapter 301 Epidemic Prevention (Repair)

"When demolishing the old house," Xu Zixian pondered: "The clans here were broken up and lived in scattered areas. Some people were dissatisfied, but fortunately they all suppressed them."

The demolition of the old clans, including the ancestral halls, made some clan beneficiaries very dissatisfied with the demolition of the old clans.

This is just a small matter. What big trouble can dozens of local buns cause?

With a series of persuasion and some threats, everyone obeyed the arrangements honestly under the silence of the silence.

Now Huaxi is all broken up, and everyone has become a miscellaneous surname. Each hundred households have more than a dozen surnames. If you want to bully others by surnames and clans, you have to consider the level of guards first.

"For every five hundred households, a criminal officer will be added to be responsible for the trial and judgment of cases." Xu Zixian continued: "Ten hundred households are one thousand households. So far, we have not yet organized five thousand households."

Xiuniang said softly: "When I was in Nan'an, people mentioned the Dongfan and said that they would suffer there. It would be better to go to the Dongfan to try their luck. Anyway, being an official household in the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion would not suffer any losses... I am just worried about the epidemic here. This time, dozens of doctors and apprentices came with the ship, which should be much better?"

When Xu Zixian mentioned this, he also frowned.

After a large area of ​​peripheral wasteland burning and the publicity of health and epidemic prevention knowledge, there is no sign of a large-scale epidemic disease.

But medical officer Chen Changnian did not express optimism, because when people go to strange places and are not adapted to the environment, they are disagreeable to the new environment, including food and water.

If what we are doing now is in a normal place, we will definitely prevent the outbreak of large-scale epidemics, but it is definitely not enough in the Dongfan.

"We need to prevent the epidemic." Xu Zixian pointed to the distance, about ten miles away, and thick smoke was rising there. He frowned and said to the two girls: "The shrubs on the outside are still green, and there are still many dead leaves and grass. I am sending people to burn the wasteland everywhere, most of which are at the foot of the mountain, deep in the hills, and in those lush grass. One is to drive away beasts and poisonous snakes. There are not many beasts on the island, only some small beasts, and there are many big deer. But there are many snakes, so I have to drive them away with fire. Many snakes have killed many snakes in the past, and many people have to give them a tooth sacrifice."

When it comes to snakes, the two girls are not as fussy as the young girls in later generations... After all, the population is definitely not large these days. Fujian has a population of 40 million in later generations, and now it is only over 10 million, far less than Henan and Shandong, and the capital of Jingmin, Jiangling Prefecture, Jiangnan East Road, and West Road are highly dense.

There are still many remote and uninhabited areas now. There are not many forest areas formed by large-scale giant trees, and there are still quite a lot of shrubs and grass areas, and there are many snakes and insects.

"The second is to prevent mosquitoes." Xu Zixian continued: "Burn the shrubs and grass everywhere. One can change them into fertile fields, and the other can repel mosquitoes."

Xu Zi sighed first and said, "The effect is some, but there are still many mosquitoes."

The little girl asked in surprise: "Is there an epidemic spreading?"

"Some of them are still within control." Xu Zixian said: "About 100 people get sick, and they don't get rid of the high fever. They all live in isolation and are treated with medicine."

Those who have high fevers are probably mosquito-borne malaria. If it spreads on a large scale, it will be difficult to deal with humans and humans. Even if there is medicine to treat it, it will not be one or two people who die, but hundreds or thousands.

In later Taiwan, there were many folk traditions that drove away the plague, such as firecrackers and worshiping gods, which showed that during the hundreds of years of immigration, plague and malaria became the number one killer for people's health.

This treasure island, which is warm all year round and has high heat in summer, is a major cause of death for islanders, except for the abundant resources, fresh water and forest resources.

Zheng Chenggong died of malaria. At that time, as Zheng Chenggong's status, he must have done his best to treat it. However, with the medical level at that time, medicine was only an auxiliary, and what was important was the patient's will and physical fitness.

Plagues are also divided into many types, plague, smallpox, malaria, and various influenza. As long as the disease is spread on a large scale, it is collectively called plague. From the pre-Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are many medical prescriptions for recording plagues and treating plagues, but there are only a few that have real and practical effects.

"Do you ask someone to have more mosquito nets?"

"I asked someone to go to Fujian Road to purchase it." Xu Zixian said: "There are not too many things in the private sector. I can only buy them slowly in various prefectures, counties and towns. Fortunately, the weather is hot and there are more stocks, otherwise it will be a big trouble."

"At present, we can only do this." Xu Zixian smiled again and said, "I never believe in destiny or luck. Luck only gives people who are prepared. We have done our best. The worst result is that people who come to the island will have to get sick more or less once, so I don't believe how many people can die!"

“Brother said it.”

"Junhou said very well."

Both women looked at Xu Zixian with convincing eyes. Such words can be said to be irresponsible or bragging. Both women knew that Xu Zixian said sincerely and would never use such a big thing to shirk responsibility. Since they have done their best, they can accept it calmly no matter what the result is.

...

Under the order of the captain Lin Chonggui, the five-leader, including the sailor chief, the chief of the deck chief, all worked hard. Before getting off the ship, everyone looked at all the matters on the ship in an orderly manner. At noon, the Marquis' Office came from Cao's officials to pass the order. The Marquis of Nan'an invited the captain, deputy chief of Fu-1 and five-leader's five-leader's facial features at the official hall of the 100th household in Huaxi. The Cong Cao suggested that everyone change into clean robes to attend the banquet. This was the most basic politeness.

Of course, Lin Chonggui, Huang Laigui and others would not have any objections. In fact, they all knew that Si Cong Cao was a servant around Junhou, including the Secretariat staff, who were responsible for writing letters, memorials, official documents, and document circulating and archiving the documents above and below. In the Secretariat, it was responsible for the cardinal room. In the Secretariat, the Zhongshu Room was connected with the cardinal room.

Then there is the guard room, which is responsible for the safety of the king and marquis. When they are in the other courtyard, they will accompany the guards when they go out.

There is also an audit room. Huang Laigui and others are not very clear about the audit process and don’t know it.

There is also the Security Department, which is responsible for the illegal people on the island, as well as the information collection, investigation, extermination, and daily public security of the bandits. It is directly under the management of the Ministry of Justice, and it is also in charge of the Lord.

The other is the concierge room, which is responsible for internal and external exchanges in the Hou's Mansion, including the holding of ceremonies. The concierge room is responsible for the concierge room.

In this matter, the Marquis' Mansion originally had a special position, which was a guest of the Marquis' Mansion, but there were no subordinates or special institutions, just one person and several officials in Wu Shizhong, so of course it is not enough to use it now.

Even if Wu Shizhong holds the official position of a guest, he is only used to cover it up. When he arrives on Dongfan Island, he will be the right assistant and the academic room of the Secretary's Pavilion, which is also a good place for Wu Shizhong.

According to the requirements of the official Cao Cao, Huang Laigui and others changed into cleaner clothes. To be decent, they were definitely not very decent. They had just received two or three months of salary and were all loose at work, but many people handed over the money to their wives or parents for safekeeping. In the system of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion, most of the sailors' families were placed in Nan'an or Dongfan. After the sailors got ashore, they had to accept unified management and arrangements, and they could not spend much money on food, clothing and expenses.

There are no gambling houses in the Dongfan now, prostitutes, and only some secret prostitutes who are half-closing their doors. According to the people of the Hou Mansion, the lords are most disgusted with gambling. Even if the Dongfan population is too large in the future, brothels can be opened. This is a physiological need for people. Suppression is counterproductive, which will breed more contradictions and problems.

But gambling is not a physiological necessity, so when Xu Zixian was in Nan'an, he strictly prohibited gambling, and in Dongfan, he should not think of gambling in the gambling house.

The sailors' money is useless. They are always at sea and don't have much time to get ashore, so naturally they won't think of buying a few decent robes for meeting guests.

Everyone went ashore together, and Huang Laigui even took a look at the left.

There were craftsmen like ant colonies and Ding Zhuang building a large shipyard. Many people have discussed this shipyard. When the Hou Mansion explains it to the outside world, it is easy to repair damaged ships and maintain normal ships. However, Huang Laigui's feeling is that the Hou Mansion wants to build his own ship, and he is extremely enthusiastic.

This is good news for the sailors, and it is also true for Huang Laigui.

In just a few months, there were a lot more ships in the Nan'an Marquis Mansion, including twenty warships, more than 30 small and medium-sized merchant ships, and more than 200 large and small ships.

The large and small ships can be controlled by naval warriors, while warships and merchant ships must have a large number of experienced sailors and captains, plus more senior five-leaders and five-character men to take charge.

This month, several senior sailors were transferred away. Huang Laigui found out that he should be working on the Fujiu merchant ship that was repaired.

Most of them are technical positions such as sailors and deck lengths.

The chief of the department, the medical officer, and the chef may be ordinary people, provided that the chief of the department must be familiar with the operation of the entire ship and be proficient in necessary techniques such as arithmetic.

The same is true for medical officers and chef officers.

Huang Laigui’s current idea is to perform well on Fu No. 1 and wait for opportunities.

Fu 1 is the first Fu craft obtained by Nan'an Hou Mansion. It has been overhauled once before and has not been overhauled in recent months. It has just cleaned the surface and painted it a while ago. If it is repaired again, its performance will definitely improve again.

The more than 30 small and medium-sized merchant ships in the Nan'an Marquis Mansion now occupy about fifteen of the Fu Ship, as well as the Linglong Ship, Guangdong Ship, Jiangling Sand Ship, Water Boat, etc., are of great origin. The previous capture of the Battle of Jiangtan, the spoils of the Battle of Qizhou, and the ships of the Nanyang Navy were all disrepaired. They are now all moored in the port of Dongfan, waiting to be repaired one by one according to the degree of damage and disrepair, and then resume use.

This project is extremely large in volume and costs a lot of money. Repairing a lucky ship with a total of about 100 tons will cost at least a few thousand tonnes to tens of thousands of guan.

Dongfan Shipyard can use the continuous recruitment and trial of qualified craftsmen to learn from the experience. When these dozens of ships are almost restored, it is estimated that they can try to build ships by themselves.

If most of the ships are repaired, there will definitely be insufficient qualified captains. Huang Laigui hopes that he will perform well and gain more experience, and he can also become the captain of a lucky ship.

Huang Laigui's current salary is twenty jin per month, which is many times stronger than farming. Even the war soldiers of the Nan'an military soldiers who came on board the ship and fought desperately, the monthly salary was only four jin of coins, and the salary of the officers was similar to Huang Laigui.

If you become a captain, your monthly salary will not be much higher, but the captain can participate in the dividend distribution. If you are assigned a good route, the shipment will be fast and the profit will be large, and it is not impossible to get a thousand trump cards a year.

In the past, Huang Laigui had a low salary and was very expensive and had a lot of taxes. Even if he didn't use it outside, he would have to be skinned after he came back.

This is true for everyone, which is the main reason why sailors could not save money before.

Now under the Nan'an Marquis Mansion, the tax customs of the Great Wei no longer had the help of the sailors. After he brought his family to the Dongfan, all the sailors' enthusiasm further increased.

Run more boats, make more money, move money, and buy acres of land in the house, and even if you go further and settle down.

The Nan'an Marquis Mansion has issued an order to rule the lord and the mansions are sold at a price of about 40 to 60 cents. In addition to the settlements of the official households, the Hou'an Mansion will continue to expand settlements along Huaxi to Nan'an River, and several other streams will continue to expand settlements, and set up camps on the periphery to protect the settled people.

After several months of observation, Huang Laigui was able to confirm that Dongfan can not only be managed successfully, but also be quite successful.

This gave him a little more motivation and drove him and the rest of the sailors to work harder.

There are more merchant ships on the Fu-1 ship, and there will be more and more sailors like Huang Laigui.

There are many poor people along the coast of Fujian Road. Many people have boarded the boat, but they feel that the hard work at sea is not proportional to the rewards, and many people have got off the boat one after another. If the high welfare in the Dongfan side can continue, it is normal for a large number of sailors to pour in.
