Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 150: return to its original form

Powders and pills are not new things. Most of the medical centers in the city sell Chinese patent medicines such as Jinchuang Powder, Hugu Powder, and Buxue Pills. As for the processing of medicinal materials and Chinese patent medicines, the famous doctors of the previous generation also have a long history. There are special works handed down.

Currently, Chinese patent medicines are often packaged in paper, which has the disadvantages of being difficult to store and easily damped. The powders, pills and other proprietary Chinese medicines launched by the medical center can only be circulated in a small area; in addition to the above shortcomings, it is also closely related to the scale and radiation range of the medical center.

Lin Fu considered that even if a large number of medical officers were assigned to the army, the problem of medication would still be a headache. Carrying a large amount of medicinal materials with the army for temporary preparation and then grinding or decoction is always extremely troublesome. It is necessary to equip the army with commonly used Chinese patent medicines at least for marching operations. In particular, topical powders for hemostasis and wound infection prevention are used as standard rations. Soldiers can treat themselves in time when they are injured, which will greatly reduce casualties and attrition caused by blood loss and wound infection.

When it comes to the problem that Chinese patent medicines are difficult to store and easily damp, the solution is very simple. The packaging of small porcelain bottles and corks is easy to achieve; Liu Yueer and Xiaoman bought rouge and powder from Dongshi, Packed in delicate porcelain bottles, but the cost is higher.

Although porcelain is expensive, once it is on a scale, even if the craftsmanship cannot be improved much, the cost will be greatly reduced. The white and thick porcelain bowls used by ordinary villagers are only three or five cents.

Rushing Lin Jingzhong to the prison island to talk about things, Lin Fu pulled Lin Mengde and Lin Jingzhong back, and asked Wu Yanqing to come over and talk about the mass production of hemostatic and healing medicines.

After hearing Lin Bie briefly explain the idea, Wu Yanqing was not sure, but felt it was worth a try, and said, "If this method can be done, it will save a lot of effort..."

In the medical center, apprentices are responsible for concocting medicinal materials, making powders and other proprietary Chinese medicines. This is a tradition that has been formed for many years. For the medical center, using apprentices cost no money, but did not consider the scarcity of apprentices. They should be important assistants to physicians, but they spend most of their time doing chores, which is a huge waste of scarce resources. The medical hall is also limited by this tradition, and naturally cannot expand the scale of production without sufficient manpower.

There is nothing uncertain about Lin Fudao. Yunnan Baiyao in later generations is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine powder for healing. Although Wu Yanqing's prescription is not better than Yunnan Baiyao, there is not much difference in essence.

Although the porcelain vase is fragile, the porcelain vase is small and thick, but it is also quite strong.

There are too many wounded prisoners sent to the prison island at these times. Jiyun Club buys a large amount of medicinal materials at regular intervals. It can be said that the establishment of medicinal materials shop in the estuary is something that has been prepared for a long time, and now it has accumulated a batch of medicinal materials. medicinal herbs. Jiangning also has official kilns and folk kilns producing porcelain. The preparation of Chinese patent medicine powder is a relatively mature set of traditional crafts and utensils in the world. Wu Yanqing has a complete set. If the price is high, the city Chinese herbal medicine store also has spare utensils for sale. The Jiyun Club just needs to organize a group of skilled and capable people who can start trying to produce hemostatic drugs with a little training.

The river mouth is short of everything, that is, there is no shortage of manpower.

Lin Mengde and Lin Jingzhong said that they immediately sent people to the medicinal material store in the city to buy two sets of powder preparation equipment. There are three sets of equipment in Jiawu Yanqing, one set was taken to the prison island to imitate, and the two sets were organized by some people first. Try to make small batches of hemostatic drugs first, and first satisfy the medication of Prison Island.

After dark, Lin Fu returned to the Hekou Thatched Cottage, and saw Liu Yueer sitting in the room with a frowning face, went around behind her, put her warm and fragrant in her arms, and asked her softly, "Your parents, brother and sister-in-law are all. Come here, why are you still frowning? Where do you arrange for them to live? Do you want to arrange a better house for them here, and arrange a helper for them. It’s a new arrival, and my mind is inevitably panic. Who do you think we should let your parents go to matchmaking for us?"

"You are really good at talking, but it's a pity that they are not good at talking," Liu Yue'er said in distress, "the father-daughter, mother, brother-sister relationship has not been finished yet, and they ask for five hundred taels of silver, otherwise this marriage will not be allowed. …”

"Five hundred taels of silver is not much, you are priceless to me." Lin Fu said.

"It's not serious to tell you something," Liu Yue'er blushed embarrassedly, lowered her head to think for a moment, and said resentfully, "They sold me once or twice, how could they allow them to sell me again? I sell it for the third time? Everyone says to be filial, how can such parents, brothers and sisters be asked to do filial piety?"

Lin Bie touched Liu Yue'er's cheek and put on such a parent, brother and sister-in-law. The most uncomfortable thing was her.

At that time, the Liu family married her to Chongxi, the seriously ill son of the Xiao family. The Liu family was greedy for the financial gift given by the Xiao family, and they did not consider that the Xiao family was dying. Later, Liang Zuoren gave Liu Yueer to the Gu family as a cook. The Liu family was greedy for Liang Zuoren's monthly payment of three or two months of silver. At this time, it would cost five hundred taels to open his mouth. He was really greedy.

"I really want to never meet them, never recognize each other..." Liu Yue'er said with a sigh.

"This is also simple," Lin Bie said with a smile, "but you are not allowed to blame me for being ruthless in the future."

"Ah," Liu Yue'er looked at Lin Fu in surprise, and said, "They are my parents, brother and sister-in-law, so don't mess around."

"They are my Taishan Taiyue anyway," Lin Fu shook Liu Yue'er's hand and smiled, "How could I be fooling around? I'll send someone to send them somewhere to enjoy their happiness, so that they won't bother you. ."

Lin Fu was about to find Lin Mengde and told him about Liu Yue'er's parents.

Lin Mengde didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard it, and said, "I'm really blinded by money. Isn't this relative ten or a hundred times stronger than five hundred taels of silver? What should I do, or should things be delayed first?" This kind of relative It's harmful to Lin Fu, but if that's the case, he doesn't even suggest that Lin Fu take Liu Yue'er as a concubine. Anyway, Liu Yue'er is in Lin Fu's room, and her name is not a name, so it's not important.

"You do this, give them the money, and deceive the marriage certificate first," Lin Fu said. "Find a few people at night to cover their faces and throw them to the north bank. Remember to take the money back. I just told the outside world that I would take them back. Sent to the city to enjoy happiness, and at this time on the North Shore no one will starve to death, so I told the people on the North Shore not to recognize each other.”

Lin Mengde thought that people on the North Shore could not starve to death, but if the bones were less than a few taels of starvation, since Lin Fu could make such a "ruthless hand", of course he had no objection, so he went out to arrange it.

Men take concubines when they are unmarried, and the etiquette is simple. Usually, they are picked up from a side door in a small sedan chair. The so-called dowry gifts are mostly naked money transactions. Lin Mengde was considered an elder. He took the money and went to talk to Liu Yueer's family about the marriage. Lin Bie set a table in the cottage and invited Liu Yueer's parents, brother and sister-in-law to come over. The marriage was settled.

Liu Yue'er didn't know what method Lin Bie would use. Although she had weak feelings for her parents, brother and sister-in-law, she always felt uneasy and unhappy after a meal of wine. The four of her parents, brother and sister-in-law ate happily, but seeing that Lin Fu gave Yinzi so easily, she felt a little regretful that she understated the number. Five hundred taels of silver can buy 70 to 80 acres of good land in Dongyang, and it can also ensure that the family is well-off and worry-free, but who would be born with little money?

The four of them left the thatched cottage, and they didn't mind if Lin Bie didn't see each other. They didn't feel that the light outside the cottage was much darker than when they came. It was strange that when there was no one left or right, they didn't notice that a few people quickly put up behind them and covered their mouths. Covering their noses, they covered their eyes with a cloth, then tied them up, stuffed a cloth ball into their mouths, and took a large cloth bag and packed everyone in with their heads and feet.

At this time, Lin Mengde came out of the shadows, without speaking, he made a gesture, and asked people to take off their tooth cards and send them to the north bank to throw them into the pile of refugees; Get a new face.

Lin Mengde said with a smile in his heart: Without the relationship of Lin Fu, they should have been refugees near Chaotian Station at this time. Since they were not greedy enough, it would be worthy of them to beat them back to their original form.

****************

Lin Fu was with Liu Yueer at this time, and when Lin Meng saw things were done, he was not in a hurry to report back to Lin Fu, and went to work on other things first.

There were three or four thousand refugees in Hekou, and the number was still increasing. It was unknown when the situation in Hongzepu would stabilize. There are two porridge farms here. They supply vegetable porridge with half a catty of rice per person per day. They can barely survive starvation. Long-term resettlement is still a big problem.

Lin Mengde has been in charge of the resettlement of refugees and homeless people in the past few days. She is really busy, but she has some clues. It is also thanks to Lin Fu who has done so much work in Hekou before and laid a solid foundation.

The carriage and horse sidewalks, the north-south long streets, and the back streets were basically completed. Later maintenance, excavation of drainage ditches, planting of road trees, and buildings along the street, such as shops, houses, stacks, and grass markets, all required the use of a large amount of labor. In order to accommodate the labor force, Jiyun Club intends to immediately expand the embankment pier and the river bank pier. The spinning and weaving workshops for the resettlement of the families of refugees who have recruited workers are also under preparation. Although the number of people that can be accommodated is limited, it is much easier to follow the gourd and draw a scoop when things have a clue. Continued expansion of spinning and weaving workshops and the construction of other workshops and workshops can also accommodate a large amount of labor.

The first thing to do now is to sort out the refugees with expertise and craftsmanship, and use manpower reasonably.

Generally speaking, the resettlement of refugees requires a large amount of arable land. Jiangdong County has been prosperous for hundreds of years. After sufficient development, it is naturally unable to accommodate more refugees. The influx of refugees not only caused a large number of security problems, but also caused a serious surplus of labor in the local area, which caused a sharp drop in wages, so that ordinary local tenants and Lifu were hostile to the refugees.

The two generations of Lin Fu, of course, knew that cash-for-work could effectively solve the problem of short-term refugees and refugees staying. In addition, large-scale cottage industries, handicraft workshops and even larger-scale handicraft workshops could accommodate more than pure farmland farming. the remaining labor.

Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong and others followed Lin Fu's two ideas to resettle refugees and refugees. After the initial chaos, five or six days passed, and many things became clear. With so many people stranded at the mouth of the river, everything seemed in Apple pie order. Even Lin Mengde couldn't imagine that it would be so smooth at first. Although it was very hard, he was also very excited.

From childhood to adulthood, Lin Mengde has seen many people in half his life, and his skills are comparable to Lin Fu's, but he has never seen it before. Survive in the current situation?

Those who are capable should know the way to dormancy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The current situation is chaotic, but it has not been rotten to the point of hopelessness. The so-called situation creates heroes, but the situation does not give, heroes are hard to come out, don't look at Liu An'er in Haozhou at this time , Dongyang and other places are so beautiful, they are said to have 200,000 troops in just ten days, but most of the grasshoppers that jumped first since ancient times were to make wedding dresses for others. When the time comes, Lin Mengde believes that Lin Fu will also act accordingly. From today's events, it can be seen that Lin Fu is not a hypocritical person who sticks to "loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety".

Lin Mengde made up his mind not to think too much about this issue. The most important thing is to have a solid foundation step by step. He found Lin Jingzhong and Qian Xiaowu to discuss the details of opening a pharmacy in Hekou.

Since nearly 300 wounded prisoners on Prison Island needed medicine every day, Lin Mengde and Lin Jingzhong gave priority to setting up a pharmacy.

Apart from surrounding houses, there are not many newly built houses in the river bank and estuary, but there are still some houses that can be squeezed out to make medicine shops; I bought two sets of old utensils from the medicine store in the city and used them first. The key is the problem of manpower. Wu Yanqing couldn't get away from the prison island. He recommended his son Wu Jiye, also a famous doctor in Jiangning City, to work in the pharmacy, and then transferred an apprentice from the prison island to be an assistant, and he was a refugee from Shanglin. He hired twenty literate teenagers as apprentices in the pharmacy, and in just two or three days, he built the pharmacy according to Lin Fu's request.
