Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 222: The living should be like this

Not to mention that this "universal mourning in the world" is just Confucius' subjective understanding, in fact, customs are different in different places. △, if all the family members of the deceased have served the three-year mourning and the crying has subsided, who will farm the land, who will join the army, and who will build a township?

Therefore, this point is not negotiable, so Zhao Wuxi taught Zigong a lesson, trying to reverse his three views.

"I have heard that Confucius is very retro, so Zigong should know the burial method of the three generations of holy kings. Since the dead were buried at that time, the living should not cry for a long time, but should quickly perform their duties, and everyone should do their best All that can be used for mutual benefit.”

"So, in Chengxiang, the retrospective ceremony is a must, but what I want to restore is the ceremony of the holy king of the three generations. When parents die, the mourning in March ends! When a brother dies, the mourning ends for three days!"

Zigong was speechless, three generations of ancient rituals?

The Master once said: "Xia Li, I can say it, Qi is not enough to sign. Yin Li, I can say it, Song is not enough to sign. The literature is not enough."

Even the rites of Xia and Yin of a thousand years ago are gradually becoming impossible to verify. Where can we verify the rites of Tang Yao and Shun? Is this gentleman talking nonsense, or is the Zhao family, as a thousand-year-old ancient clan, really kept the documents in the palace guarding room?

In short, for the extremely realistic Zhao Wuxi, it seemed that the Master's rhetoric was not easy to convince him that this remonstrance was only half successful, which made Zigong feel a little regretful.

When Zhao Yang entered the Xiqi Palace, he also brought doctors Bian Que and Le Lingzi to diagnose and treat Le Qi. And Bian Que's two apprentices, Yang and Zibao, were invited by Zhao Wuxi to go to Chengxiang to provide follow-up treatment for the villagers who were injured a few days ago.

so. After the beginning of winter, when Ziyang and Zibao came to Chengxiang. Then I saw the people of Chengxiang who had just put their relatives in the burial and shouted "Return of the soul". They have wiped away the tears of three days of mourning. Start harvesting corn and smile for the harvest.

Because the gentleman said this to them after presiding over the grand funeral and memorial ceremony.

"The dead are long gone, and the living should be like this!"

The dead have left us, and the living must live stronger and better!

In the previous war, the enemy chose flat cornfields to gather, charge, and retreat, destroying thousands of acres of fields and leaving them in the past. These losses have to be swallowed by the people of the country themselves.

But this time is different, the gentleman promulgated the "subsidy" law: all economic losses suffered during the war, such as the collapse of houses, the destruction of fields, the death and injury of cattle and sheep, etc., can be reported to the planning officials and overseas Chinese and the township ministers, and the township temple Will be compensated one by one after verification!

Therefore, when Ziyang and Zibao arrived in Chengxiang, they were surprised at the rapid recovery of people's livelihood after the war. On the way, they saw the people spontaneously drive away the prisoners who had become gangsters and repair the walls. Harvest corn. After stepping into the newly set up "medical hall", the two were even more surprised.

Although the current north is shrouded in the shadow of Jin and Qi fighting for hegemony, it is still in a relatively peaceful era, and the Xia Dynasty is a bit of a moral bottom line emphasized in the "Sima Law". So the scale and casualties of the war are smaller.

But in the south, there are the people of Chu who have become Huaxia, and the people of Wu who have no etiquette at all. There was a protracted war only three years ago, and the corpse was thousands of miles away. Murder Yingcheng. Doctor Bianque also took Ziyang and Zibao to the Tang and Cai areas at the center of the war, and went to several barracks where the wounded were placed. Under the guidance of Doctor Bian Que, I personally experienced the treatment of ulcers.

The Chinese characters for "medicine" and "ji" both start from "arrow", that is, arrowhead, so from the beginning of medicine, it was closely related to war.

In the feudal vassal countries, there are four official doctors, namely: food doctors, responsible for the dietary maintenance of the nobles, equivalent to ancient nutritionists; disease doctors, responsible for treating headaches and other diseases for the Chinese people; Horses, cattle and sheep diseases.

Finally, it is the doctor of ulcers, which treats the diseases of ulcers, broken ulcers, swellings, and ulcers. These four kinds of ulcers are open wound with golden blade, fracture wound, local swelling caused by blunt force beating, subcutaneous hemorrhage, and surgical infection. Therefore, ulcer doctor is equivalent to the surgeon of later generations.

However, after being injured, they were treated by these professional surgeons immediately, which was only enjoyed by the distinguished scholar-officials. Ordinary soldiers are not so lucky. Although they will not be abandoned immediately, they will only be assigned to the care of less skilled witch doctors and alchemists.

Usually, in the Zhu Xia army, each division is equipped with "three alchemists, who set up a hundred medicines to cure golden sores and cure all diseases." Famous disciples are very despised.

Therefore, Ziyang and Zibao will never forget what happened in Tang and Cai's wounded and sick camps at that time: a hundred and ten wounded soldiers lay sluggishly on the bunks of several dimly lit camps. There was a rotten stench in the room, and the sound of wailing and mourning filled the small space.

The weapons of this era were usually not lethal enough, and after each battle, some of the dead were often killed, and many more wounded.

Those seriously injured with broken stomachs and broken legs were carried directly to the outside of the corpse pit and waited to die, letting their cries become smaller and smaller.

Those who have suffered four types of non-fatal wounds will be simply treated by witch doctors and alchemists. Generally, plant ash is mixed with water to make a paste, applied on the wound, and then covered with a randomly found ge cloth, which is enough to stop the bleeding.

Then, it's up to fate.

The wounded will often die as the wound worsens, and the undead will rot off their entire arms and legs. Witch doctors, alchemists, and even professional ulcer doctors could not figure out the reason for the two different outcomes of recovery and tragic death after the wounded were treated.

They generally believe that this is the ghosts and gods at work, and they have not thought of a good way. They just ask the injured person and their family members to pray every day, pinning their hopes on the illusory Da Si Ming and Shao Si Ming's forgiveness.

So at first, Ziyang and Zibao thought that there were only a few wild witches in this remote township. Although several ulcer doctors had been transferred from the lower palace, the situation was probably similar to the methods used to treat wounds in the Tang and Cai areas.

However, the two were horribly wrong.

With the "generous" dedication of Cheng Wu and Cheng Tuan, this hospital was built in the original Cheng family manor. The location here is remote and quiet, without the filth, rancid smell, and wailing of ordinary wounded and sick camps. Instead, it is set up very neatly.

Ziyang was standing outside the hospital. Looking at the three circles of white ashes on the loess floor, I habitually squatted down and smelt it. He asked Cheng Tuan, who was leading the way, "Is this clam ash?"

The so-called "Mirage Clam Ash" is actually the lime powder of later generations. In the Spring and Autumn Period, people already knew that lime could be used for disinfection. In the palaces of the emperor and the princes, there is a special official "Chih (ba, who is responsible for cleaning the walls of the house. They paint the walls with "mirage charcoal" and sprinkle the surrounding with "clam ash" to remove poisonous insects.

It's just that the burnt material is not limestone, but oyster shells and clam shells from the seashore.

These raw materials are abundant in Qi. However, it is relatively scarce in the Central Plains, and what is rare is the most expensive. Only the Marquis of Jin and the six officials can afford it. Therefore, although Ziyang and Zibao knew the effect of this thing, they never thought that it could be used in the isolation of wounded and sick camps.

"I have heard of the wealth of the township, but today I saw it, and it really is..."

Zibao, who was greedy for money, couldn't help but sighed. Zhao's lavish spending in this treatment had already left him stunned. After Zhao Yang woke up. In order to thank Doctor Bian Que for his recovery, he waved his hand and gave him 40,000 mu of fertile land, along with a township and city. There are countless good horses, chariots, money and silk. Even the position of the chief medical officer of the lower palace was vacant.

Doctor Bian Que was used to being free, so he naturally declined one by one, saying that it was after the diagnosis and treatment for Le Qi. He was about to leave Jin and continue to travel westward. Go to Qin State.

However, Zibao was very excited, and in this small town that is said to be the origin of wheat flour and porcelain. To be able to use a large amount of clam ash to isolate the homes of soldiers and wounded is really, it is too extravagant!

But Cheng Tuan, who was leading the way, smiled when he heard the words: "Two gentlemen, this thing is not clam ash, but burnt with white stones dug from the mountain. The gentleman calls it lime."

White stone is what people called limestone at this time. Although it has been used occasionally since prehistoric times, no one has ever figured out that this thing and clam ash turned out to be the same.

In addition to practicing medicine and treating diseases, physicians must also learn to collect medicinal materials. In addition to herbal medicines and animal medicines, there are also many stone materials. So Ziyang Zibao naturally knows what Baishi is, but this is the first time I have heard of it, and I can't help but be amazed.

After entering the medical center, they saw that the place was orderly, busy without panic: ditches for sewage were dug everywhere, and clean water was drawn through ceramic pipes, and the air was still filled with vinegar and hemp. The pungent smell of pepper.

Boiling water is burned in a large kettle in the cooker's stove. The wounded and wounded lie on a strangely shaped "couch" and bask in the sun. There is no despair and sadness on their faces, but jokes with young and strong women who are changing the cloth belts for themselves. on.

Their gentleman Wu Xie stood in the courtyard covered with fine grass and sackcloth, and instructed Cheng Wu and the medical officials of the lower palace carefully.

"Everyone here is for the sake of the Zhao family, and the wounds suffered by me must be well nourished. The rewards promised before will be doubled. Each person will be given half a liter of wine, one or two meat, and half a bucket of powdered food every day. Don’t neglect the medicine and make the village officials inspect the wounded and sick twice a day, and if something happens, go to the village temple and report it to me immediately!”

These days, Zhao Wuxi was full of regrets every time he visited this hospital.

Only after a battle did he realize the cruelty of injuries and illnesses in ancient times: after the first batch of war dead were buried, it was the more than a hundred wounded who suffered even more headaches. The legs were seriously injured, and several others died.

In desperation, Zhao Wuxi gave birth to the determination to save the lives of the remaining wounded.

However, relying on medical methods and ideas that have just started in this era, but are extremely backward in the eyes of modern people, will not work!

Therefore, while running for the interests of the Zhao family, he created a military doctor's injury and illness system in Chengxiang~www.wuxiahere.com~ Although he does not understand medical skills, he understands simple medical principles. Fragments of common sense can be used for emergency rescue.

The reason for recruiting Ziyang and Zibao is to use these top doctors in the Spring and Autumn Period to fill in the gaps for themselves.

He finally said solemnly: "Please believe me, no matter how painful or difficult it is, you have to persevere. As long as you take care of it with your heart, except for those who are too seriously injured, no one can't be saved! Qi Qi wants to take your lives, and I will forcefully take them back!”

If someone else said this horrifying big talk, the villagers and the people of the country would naturally not believe it, but the gentleman was different. Because in their eyes, a gentleman is someone who can mobilize the power of ghosts and gods to lead the thunder, and naturally he can go against the sky!

The wounded in the hospital tensed their faces, and shouted in unison: "This life will be owned by a gentleman from now on! We will never admit defeat, and we will never wait to die! The dead are already old, and the living should be like this!" (To be continued... …)
