Wei and Jin Cooks

Zhao Hanzhang didn’t know how to treat schistosomiasis. The books he had read in the library all mentioned this aspect briefly, but there were a lot of prevention and control measures.

 She told Dr. Ding, who was willing to go to Guangzhou, the prevention and treatment methods that she and Fu Tinghan had remembered, and asked him to start with prevention while doing research.

Schistosomiasis, if properly prevented, can reduce 80% of the disease.

The most critical issue in this matter is how to make the people of Guangzhou trust them and follow their precautions one by one.

 Let alone an uncivilized barbaric place like Guangzhou, it is also a ceremonial state like the Central Plains. If the people want to complete one thing in accordance with the regulations of the court, it is impossible without heavy punishment.

 And heavy punishment…

It is impossible for her to severely punish a family because one member of the family drank raw water. That is not preventing disease, but forcing the people to rebel.

 So she chose Zhao Shen.

Sure enough, Zhao Shen was worthy of being Zhao Shen. After taking over from Dai Yuan, he quickly took over the Guangzhou Army. While training the Guangzhou Army, he asked Dr. Ding to recruit some apprentices locally and cooperate with local doctors to study and treat schistosomiasis.

Chinese scholars have always believed that the harmony of all things in nature is not only the will of all things, but also the will of heaven and earth.

 So, there must be an antidote near the poison. Schistosomiasis also has natural enemies in nature, and they are near it, but they haven't discovered it yet.

But it doesn’t matter. Dr. Ding said that he can implement preventive measures while searching. He believes that one day he will be able to find a cure for schistosomiasis.

By then, not only Guangzhou but also the Jingchu and Jiangnan areas will no longer suffer from schistosomiasis.

Dr. Ding was full of confidence, but he was beaten to pieces before he even started. He worked hard and took his apprentices everywhere to preach that they should not drink raw water, not bathe in rivers and streams, and should pay attention to the feces of family members in order to detect schistosomiasis as quickly as possible. Exist and then carry out prevention and control, etc...

After working hard for a year, there were very few people willing to listen to him. However, he distributed a lot of medicine to prevent and treat miasma for the officers and soldiers, but the local market was not open at all.

As a result, the governor went out for a walk, wandering around Guangzhou, staying in a city for two days and a village for one night. When he left, they fell into a frenzy and took the initiative to boil water without their careful persuasion. Even when you go out, you use a bamboo tube to bring boiling and cooling water, instead of just finding a river and squatting down to drink water.

 Even they would come to him for herbal prescriptions for prevention and treatment.

Physician Ding has been here for a year, but it’s not that there has been no progress at all. He has not been able to cure schistosomiasis, but if it is in the early stages, when it is first infected, he has several ways to kill the parasite.

By coincidence, the required herbs can be found in the mountains of Guangzhou.

However, you must be careful when using medicine and control the amount, otherwise it will be bad if you kill the insects and yourself.

In addition, they would also bring feces to Dr. Ding for identification. As soon as they were sure there were insect eggs, they would immediately light a fire next to their water source, pray, and perform rituals to curse the devil.

Physician Ding was completely numb, watching their governor take the lead in wearing brightly colored official uniforms, dancing with swords and doing Bagua steps to perform rituals.

Your Majesty, does your Majesty know that you use your official uniform as a legal service?

Physician Ding shouted in his heart: Your Majesty, I want to return to Beijing!

Unlike Dai Yuan who went around establishing his power and regaining the local people, Zhao Shen relied on his ability to pursue gods for many years to win them over.

 It doesn’t cost a single soldier.

The prevention and control of schistosomiasis has not been effective yet, but Zhao Shen has gained prestige in the hearts of the local people in Guangzhou, and Zhao Hanzhang, who he used to deceive people, has also been raised to a level where he can fight against the devil.

Zhao Shen took the opportunity to ask Sinong Temple for a batch of improved rice varieties, not Luoyang South No. 2. That rice seed had not yet been promoted. What he wants is rice seeds that have been cultivated for several years and have been successfully grown in rainy areas such as Jingchu.

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and agreed on behalf of Sinong Temple.

Zhao Hanzhang gave preferential treatment to Guangzhou and did not collect taxes from them. In other words, all local taxes in Guangzhou would be used for local fiscal expenditures in Guangzhou.

Zhao Shen is not a child of an ordinary aristocratic family. He was born in troubled times and has been traveling since he was fourteen years old. He has seen the suffering of people's livelihood.

 He himself has been a Taoist priest, a knight-errant, and even a bandit and a beggar.

 Zhao Hanzhang gave him a lot of salary, and he had the support of his family. If one person had enough to eat, the whole family would not have to worry about it, so he would not withhold taxes from the prefectures and counties.

If the officials are not greedy, the administration will be clear and clear, there will be more surplus wealth in the prefectures and counties, and more will be given back to the people.

In the late summer of Zhao Shen's third year in office, his governance began to pay off. The native people of Guangzhou planted the best rice seed-Lingnan No. 1 in the mountains and fields.

This rice seed came from Jingchu No. 1, but after it was planted in Lingnan, its growth condition was even better than in the Jingchu area. I wonder if it was because the local rice seeds were mixed with domestic rice seeds. In the end, it showed some quality problems. leap.

Not only are the rice ears longer, the rice grains are more abundant and plump, and they are also more resistant to floods.

  Zhao Cheng also had light corvee and low taxes, and the taxes required by each tribe were not high.

He knew that in Guangzhou, which was so huge, it was impossible to send officials to govern each place. He had to rely on the local people.

Zhao Hanzhang also repeatedly told him to respect local customs and chiefs, and communicate with them more when governing the place.

Because he had read it so many times, Zhao Shen and his father couldn't help but complain when they wrote a letter, "Your Majesty is less domineering and more tender when facing the border people. People who don't know it think she and Nanman are just one family." , not the Central Plains people.”

Zhao Ming scolded him, "You call the people you govern Southern Barbarians. It shows that you haven't realized it yet. Your Majesty treats everyone equally. No matter what ethnic group they are, she treats them as family members. She is less domineering and more tender towards the border people because she is less domineering and more tender towards the border people." The natural conditions of the border residents are worse than those in the Central Plains, but they still shoulder the responsibility of protecting their homes and the country."

Zhao Ming turned around and asked Zhao Hanzhang to let Zhao Cheng stay in Guangzhou for a few more years and not to transfer him back just because his three-year term was up.

In his opinion, it takes at least five years for an official to manage a local area to achieve initial results, and three years is enough for him to just figure out a local area.

Zhao Shen was angry and aggrieved after learning about this incident. He wrote a letter directly to quarrel with his father, "This is all your prejudice against me. Am I not honest, my ability to govern is not high, and I don't care for the people?"

Zhao Ming replied: "You have never looked down upon the people you rule. As a parent, you look at them with pity from above. Is this what your grandfather taught me? Is this what I taught you?" "

"Your seventh uncle also loves your husband and is generous to him, but you have never been hypocritical to him. Why?" Zhao Ming said: "He loves your husband from above. When he walks on the right path, his love is correct." Yes, but what if he goes astray?"

"Zhao Shen, don't follow in the footsteps of your seventh uncle. Whether you are an official or a person, you should learn from the best and compare upwards, not downwards."

 Zhao Shen was in a daze when he received the letter.

His chief minister didn't know that he was distracted and was replying, "Envoy, Jiaozhi has sent an envoy. Are we going to reject it? Those rebellious officials and thieves have the nerve to come to us for good seeds?"

Good night
