I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

Lu Bu did not agree with Liu Xie's point of view: "How could it be the fault of the imperial court? Luoyang is not a chaotic place like Jingzhou and Liangzhou, and now there are no powerful people who dare to occupy people's land and rob property. As long as you have the heart, why worry about not finding a job? If you have nowhere to go, you can also join the army, at least you will have food and land to live in, and you will be rewarded a lot if you go to battle and kill the enemy."

"However, many people have old people to support and wives and children to support. After leaving home, it is not enough to only have the old man and his wife working in the fields. The whole family may starve. These are their concerns about joining the army." Only when they were in corvée did so many people feel dissatisfied. On the battlefield, there are also many people who think about their own fields, parents, wives and children, and tend to flee when encountering a crisis.

In the Han Dynasty, it was rigidly stipulated that adult men had to serve two years as a soldier and one year as a border guard.The three-year period has expired, and if the court needs it, they can still be recruited to serve at any time.

The so-called twisted melons are not sweet, so after Liu Xie ascended the throne, he recruited soldiers, and recruited veterans in the form of paid recruitment instead of compulsory conscripts. They could even withdraw part of the money in advance, and gave preferential treatment to the families of dead soldiers, exempting them from paying worries.

Lu Bujun's face was indifferent: "A man is supposed to protect his family and the country. If the country is not here, how can the family survive?"

Liu Xie said in a low voice: "I just think that the people are too miserable. In addition to serving the soldiers and guarding the border, they also have to serve the pawns. It is no wonder that the people complain a lot."

"Pawns generally don't delay farming, and they only serve for one month a year." Lu Bu frowned, feeling that Liu Xie's thoughts were too benevolent.

But Liu Xie shook his head: "It's not short of a month of unpaid work. The pawns should be responsible for the management of rivers and canals, the transfer of water grains, and the construction of bridges and roads. In some places, they change the name without authorization, so that they will do a lot of construction and build their own mansions. , and even deliberately extended the time, and some people even died of exhaustion during this labor."

Lv Bu was taken aback, and immediately objected: "You mean to cancel pawns? If it is necessary to repair the city wall and transfer grain and grass, wouldn't there be no one available?"

"No, I just want to give them money." Liu Xie said melancholy: "But Tian Feng and Xun You both think that they should not be tampered with. It is difficult to distribute this money to the people, but it will give local officials a chance to fill their own pockets." At this time, the traffic is inconvenient. [-]. Difficulty in delivering information made the reporting system very underdeveloped, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, banditry arose all over the place, making transportation even more difficult.Coupled with the constant internal and external troubles of the imperial court, and the inability to send envoys to step up inspections, the local officials can be said to be covering the sky with one hand.

Lu Bu asked: "Isn't there a commoner guard who specializes in investigating news?"

Liu Xie gave a shallow "Yes" and said, "But there is also the danger of collusion."

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and thought for a while: "I heard that most of the civilian guards are Luoyang common people, eunuchs and court ladies, and their family members can all be tested. Those who collude will be severely punished. Anyone who commits crimes will be killed by three generations of grandparents and grandchildren." City, under the strict law, they must not offend lightly."

"Eunuchs and palace maids are shallow, so this method may not be appropriate." Many people are eunuchs and palace maids, especially eunuchs, because they cannot help themselves.

Liu Xie said: "Moreover, the number of civilian guards is still too small." The civilian guards often carry out secret missions, and the identities of many people are unknown. Most of them are recruited secretly, and the inspection of people is also very strict.

It stands to reason that the young emperor should make great use of eunuchs, because all the power of eunuchs comes from His Majesty. As the emperor, Liu Xie can take back the power in their hands at any time, and there is no need to worry about backlash when using it.However, as a modern person, Liu Xie couldn't accept the anti-human operation of castrating men. After taking office, he rarely added eunuchs, but instead relied more on Luoyang guards with innocent backgrounds.

Lu Bu had a flash of inspiration: "There is a place where people can be used if you don't dislike them for being low-class."

Liu Xie was puzzled: "Who?"

"Death row prisoners, if they can catch the magistrate's handle, they will be exempted from punishment."

"What if they were deliberately framed in order not to die, or did they just escape?"

Lu Bu said: "Chen Gong is a member of Dali Temple, so he should know who is the most suitable person and who has a handle in the hands of the government."

Liu Xie thought about it for a while, and he and Lu Bu couldn't think of a specific way to deal with prisoners.Chen Gong's wisdom should not be underestimated, why not go to him directly to see if it is feasible.

The two whispered for a while, but the medical team hardly moved.Lü Bu lost all patience, so he wanted to go directly to the hospital.

Liu Xie gently tugged at his sleeve: "That's not right, this clinic is supposed to treat diseases for the people. When they line up here for a long time, we will break into conflicts between the soldiers and the people if we wear military uniforms." Just standing here, they are already attracting attention.Liu Xie thought about it, and then pulled Lu Bu away: "Tomorrow night, I changed my clothes, so come with another identity."

At this time, Hua Tuo was sitting next to Zhang Zhongjing.It turned out that after a few days ago, Medical Officer Zhou quarreled with him and found that Hua Tuo had two brushes, so he took him back to the hospital, wanting Hua Tuo to be his deputy.

Seeing Hua Tuo was overjoyed, Zhang Zhongjing rushed forward to meet him, and held his hand tightly: "You are here."

Doctor Zhou was stunned, and Hua Tuo was also very surprised: "Zhongjing is here? You wrote to me? I have been wandering outside for a long time, and I have not returned home for a long time."

Zhang Zhongjing pulled him to the next room, closed the door, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty ordered us to find you and me. I'm afraid you haven't returned home for a long time and missed His Majesty's edict!"

Hua Tuo was surprised and delighted: "The imperial edict? What edict? Please tell me in detail." After listening to it, Hua Tuo beat his chest and stomped his feet, puffing his baby face and sighing: "It's really hard to find a place to find everything. No effort!"

Zhang Zhongjing knew that he wanted to be an official for a long time, and when he calmed down, he asked: "You said that the plague that His Majesty predicted is true?"

"No matter why Your Majesty is looking for us, I'm afraid this plague will be hard to escape," Hua Tuo thought for a while, "Since I can remember, the plague has been rampant five times. This disease will not disappear, and it is always a good idea to prepare for it." .”

"Where you passed recently, have you seen plague?"

"I haven't encountered it in the past year."

Zhang Zhongjing nodded: "That's good. I'll call the commoner guard over in a while and ask him to find the officer and report your whereabouts."

Hua Tuo said: "Great kindness."

Zhang Zhongjing wondered, "Speaking of which, how did you get involved with Doctor Zhou, and what about your fake beard?"

An angry look appeared on Hua Tuo's face: "It's all because of this man's unreasonableness. I just wanted to ask for advice, so he pulled me in."

As a good friend, Zhang Zhongjing knew his character well: "You heard that the medical officer is here, so you want to compete?"

Hua Tuo was at a loss for words: "Uh..." It was just that he was not convinced by the medical officers. Some of them just got the protection of their ancestors, and they didn't have any real skills.

"Doctor Zhou has superb medical skills, and he also has the heart of hanging the pot to help the world, but he looks a little arrogant, so don't bother with young people."

Hua Tuo muttered: "As long as he doesn't come to provoke me, anyway, I'm a medical officer now, who is afraid of whom?"

Zhang Zhongjing had no choice but to ask, "Where are you now? I'll let the buddy carry your bags for you later."

On the evening of the second day, when the medical clinic was closing, Liu Xie and Lu Bu, dressed in ordinary clothes, went to the door under the leadership of the commoner guards, and brought Hua Tuo an appointment letter in the name of an angel.

Zhang Zhongjing still misunderstood Liu Xie's identity, and seeing that Lu Bu had an extraordinary temperament and was not very human, he thought that the other party was a certain commander of the commoner guards, so he was very polite to them and made tea for them himself.

At this time, the method of "boiling tea for soup" was popular, but Zhang Zhongjing did not add onion, ginger, orange peel and mint, but added red beans, barley and sucrose, which tasted good.

Liu Xie was very interested in the genius doctor Hua Tuo, and asked a question: "Doctor Hua, recently I have several rice grain-shaped blisters on my hands and feet, and I feel itchy, but I am sick?"

"There is no need to worry. The frequent blisters in summer are due to excessive humidity. It is not a disease. Just eat more food that removes moisture, wear light and clean shoes, and don't wear stuffy boots. "

Liu Xie nodded in agreement, and said in his heart: The emperor's black boots full of decorations are very stuffy and heavy. Zhang Qiaoshou has to make flip flops out of them, or wooden flip flops without plastic... …

It wasn't a serious illness at first, but in order to show importance, Hua Tuo asked Liu Xie to stretch out his hand and began to diagnose the pulse.Originally, it was just a random examination, but the more concentrated I felt, the more strange I felt, my eyebrows were wrinkled, and I said strangely: "The nobleman's meridians all over his body are stagnant, but there is nothing wrong with his body hair and skin, it is really strange."

Liu Xie's heart trembled, and he withdrew his hand.

Hua Tuo called Zhang Zhongjing to have a try too.

Lu Bu's complexion was unhappy: "Look at his ruddy complexion and brisk steps, doesn't he look like his meridians are stagnant?"

Liu Xie thought about his dull pain and insensitive sense of taste, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Zhongjing: "That's it, I'm sorry."

Zhang Zhongjing also examined Liu Xie carefully for a while, and observed Liu Xie's complexion repeatedly, and finally said: "It's okay, you are in good health."

Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zhongjing continued: "However, the meridians do have a small amount of stagnation. I'm afraid it's caused by moisture. I'll prepare the medicine tomorrow and send it to you."

A look of puzzlement appeared on Hua Tuo's face, Zhang Zhongjing glanced at him, gently dismissed the matter, and reported on the progress of recruiting apprentices.

Liu Xie was very considerate: "Haste makes waste, Mr. can grasp the rhythm." He asked again: "I don't know one thing. I have suffered from plague for a long time. During the reign of Emperor Guangling, the plague raged as many as five times, and It has spread to Luoyang, do the two gentlemen know the source of the plague?"

Zhang Zhongjing replied: "The records of the plague first appeared in "Zhou Li". "Lu Shi Chunqiu" also recorded that "when the season of spring goes to summer, the people will suffer from more diseases." In recent years, plagues often follow severe droughts. I guess, This plague may be related to the abnormality of the seasons."

Hua Tuo also nodded and said yes, if the solar terms are abnormal, epidemic diseases are prone to occur.

But Lu Bu said: "There was a book in Bian County that the plague was brought by the Huns."

Liu Xie asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Lu Bu thought about it for a moment: "The slips of the Han Dynasty said that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han army defeated the Xiongnu one after another, and the Xiongnu were afraid. There was a Hun prisoner who said, 'When the Han army is approaching, the Xiongnu sent witches to bury the sheep and cattle from all the roads and beyond the water. Cursed army'."

Liu Xie was the first to realize that the so-called curse was to use sick and dead cattle and horses to deliberately spread vicious infectious diseases.Although it is witchcraft on the surface, there is science behind it.The cows and horses that died of illness often had a large number of bacteria. The Xiongnu threw them into the river. If the Han army drank them, they would easily get sick.

Both Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing agreed: "It is true that cows and horses that die of illness will bring disease, so they should be buried on the spot. It is a pity that beef that dies of illness will be shared among the nobles, which is really inappropriate."

Liu Xiexin said: Burial is not enough, it may pollute the groundwater, it should be incinerated.In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in power, in addition to the great chaos in the world, there were also epidemics for years, and the people were in dire straits.Cao Zhi once wrote a Fu saying that "every family has the pain of zombies, and every room has the sorrow of crying", which shows the serious consequences of the plague.I don't know where the future plague will start.

Lu Bu couldn't help asking: "Is there a cure for the plague?"

Every time the plague spread to Luoyang, the imperial court was too busy to take care of themselves, and the medical officers they sent were only treated in Luoyang and its surrounding areas.Frontier places like Wuyuan County did not receive assistance from the imperial court, and there were only a handful of doctors. During the plague, most people died before waiting for the doctor. His biological mother also died in a great plague many years ago.

A look of sadness appeared on Zhang Zhongjing's face: "Relief with medicine, but whether you can survive it depends on the nature of the individual." His family is a big Nanyang family. There are more than two hundred people in the family, and there are as many as ten medical students. people.However, even the leading medical family cannot escape the plague.In the last plague, two-thirds of Zhang Zhongjing's family members died, and seven-tenths of them died of typhoid fever.

Hua Tuo comforted and said: "Since the last plague, Zhongjing and I have been studying the way to deal with it all these years. Now Zhongjing has a lot of experience in typhoid fever in the plague. He even wrote ten volumes of "Discrimination of Typhoid Diseases". Apprentices can also refer to this book to identify typhoid fever, identify the patients in time and put them in the room, so that the plague will not run rampant."

It turns out that this era has already had the concept of isolation.Liu Xie thought for a while: "In the future, medical offices in various places will be established. For the time being, we will appoint local doctors as important officials. When your first batch of apprentices are cultivated, they will also be distributed to various places. Summarize and report to the Imperial Medical Office in Luoyang. In the future, I will trouble the two gentlemen to pay more attention to the abnormalities."

Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo quickly said they didn't dare.

After Liu Xie and Lu Bu left, Hua Tuo said with emotion: "This young man seems to have a well-thought-out plan when it comes to the layout of the medical department, and he seems to have great power."

"Such a major event in the world, even the former Sangong would not dare to boast about it easily..." Zhang Zhongjing also felt a little strange, after all, it involved the layout of countless counties and counties in the thirteen continents of the world: "What he said The appearance seems to be taken for granted, which shows that he has won His Majesty's trust."

"It's a great thing for the common people and us." Judging from the meaning of the young people, they will be in charge of the Imperial Medical Bureau across the country in the future.Hua Tuo felt a little unbelievable, and didn't know whether this matter could pass in court.

Zhang Zhongjing knew that this matter would be difficult to accomplish.But thinking of his friend's pursuit of becoming an official as if in a daze, he couldn't bear to hit him, so he nodded in agreement.

Hua Tuo muttered, "However, this young man has a ruddy complexion and a healthy body. How could he have the appearance of Yin Qi invading? The pulse condition is as weak as a patient who has half-footed into the gate of hell."

Zhang Zhongjing guessed: "I'm afraid it's because of being an eunuch. I have never treated an eunuch, and this is the first time I have seen such a stagnant pulse, but his complexion, tongue, and posture are all the same as normal people. I just diagnosed him." There is no disease in the spleen, and it is not a serious problem, how about I give him a prescription to unblock it?"

Hua Tuo suddenly realized: "So it's because of the eunuch? I have never treated the eunuch. It turns out that the eunuch's pulse is like this. Next time, I will find someone to study it."

Walking out of the clinic, Lu Bu couldn't help himself: "That man doesn't look like a doctor at all."

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment: "You mean Hua Tuo?"

Lu Bu nodded.

Liu Xie smiled: "I didn't know he was so young. Commoner Wei said that he has been famous for many years. When he was known as a miracle doctor among the people, I thought he was a kind old man with a big beard."

Lu Bu thought to himself: Common people are confined to one corner, how many doctors have they met in their lifetime?The name of a genius doctor may not be worthy of the name.

Liu Xie didn't know what he was thinking, and his mind was already drifting to prevent the plague: "Luoyang is a big city, and people come and go very frequently. It's no wonder that there have been several plagues, and they can't escape."

Lu Bu comforted: "We can't close the gates of the city, but the days are over, so there is no need to worry about things that haven't happened."

But Liu Xie said: "People without long-term considerations must have near-term worries." He thought carefully: "Immediately issue an order to prohibit the consumption of cattle, sheep and other animals that died of illness, and pay more attention to hygiene. The public toilets in Luoyang are too dirty. There is no place to wash hands in the public toilets, it should be repaired."

Lu Bu was at a loss, and the first half of the sentence was understandable. What does this have to do with repairing public toilets?

Liu Xie's thinking continued to diverge: "Luoyang City is extremely crowded, and the public toilets in the city must have been dug deep, which may have polluted the groundwater, causing the previous plagues to spread widely. When using cement to transform dry toilets, it can prevent seepage. effect."

Lu Bu: What is cement?What does anti-seepage mean?What about groundwater?

Liu Xie remembers that when he was studying big things, the teacher said that in ancient times, due to the restriction of smelting temperature, there was no cement.Only ancient Rome, with its unique advantages, obtained cement and concrete, and retained a large number of buildings by virtue of this.This is not because the ancient Roman civilization was ahead, but because there is a large amount of volcanic ash near Rome, that is, silica that can only be burned out at sustained high temperatures.

In order to strengthen the city wall before, he had sent soldiers to search for thick volcanic ash all over the country.However, this piece of land is quite favored by the gods. Over the years, there has been almost no disaster from the volcano, and the soldiers have returned without success.So we had to adopt the method of firing clay and limestone together to burn cement.Unfortunately, because the temperature did not reach, all failed.After the blast furnace transformed by the water wheel and power hammer is built, try firing again.

"Your Highness?"

"Your Highness?"

Lu Bu yelled a few words in a low voice, but Liu Xie was still wandering in the void.Lu Bu had no choice but to raise his voice, calling out the name Liu Xie had promised him a long time ago: "Bohe?"

The author has something to say: Speaking of which, Jiyou suggested changing the name of the article to "Three Kingdoms" Handbook of Surviving the Emperor, because Liu Xie can be regarded as a promising emperor, so he has to highlight his arrogance.But in the eyes of stupid writers, Liu Xiaoxie is still a weak young emperor, and the new city of cement guns has not yet been built.What do you think?Do you want to change your name?

There was a rumor that the Xiongnu made people throw sick cows and horses into the river to cause a plague. As a result, Huo Qubing drank the polluted water, and then he suddenly fell ill and died young. It is not known whether it is true or not.According to the records of the Han Dynasty, "When the Han army came, the Xiongnu made the witches bury the sheep and cattle on the roads and the water to curse the army. Shanyu left the emperor Ma Qiu, and the witches often wished him. Those who tied the horses cursed the army.

The corvee of the Han Dynasty in this article is quoted from Baidu Encyclopedia without any adaptation.The original text is as follows: There are three types of corvee service in the Han Dynasty: regular soldiers, border guards and more soldiers.He died for 3 years, and worked as an officer (infantry), knight (cavalry) or building ship in the county for 2 year, received military training and was responsible for local security; went to Kyoto as a guard in 1 year, responsible for defending the capital, guarding the palace, and the mausoleum , or serve the government. Adult men under the age of 1 are generally exempted from military service after serving for 56 years, but they can still be recruited for military service when the government needs it, and they must not resist.Frontier garrison is also called garrison or garrison, that is, to go to the frontier to engage in "guarding and riding the fortress".The law of the Han Dynasty stipulates that each person must guard the border for one year in his life, and if there is an emergency at the border, he must stay there for another 2 months.The sons and daughters of officials and rich people can pay to hire people to serve as servants.The border guards are provided with food and clothing by the government.Gengzu means that in addition to serving the two kinds of corvee service as a soldier and guarding the border, every man from Fu nationality must also serve one month of unpaid labor in the county every year. Transport grain and other labor.Because the servants served in turns, it was called "Geng", and the servants were called "Gengzu".Those who are unwilling or unable to serve in person can pay 1 (some say 6) to hire someone to serve on their behalf, or the government does not require them to serve in person and order him to pay for it. ".There are also those exempted from service due to special circumstances, called "recovery".
