The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhao Zhongyi’s wife complained: “I don’t know what the reason for the salary transfer is to let our factory process this kind of stuff. It has been processing for more than half a year, and it has piled up in the warehouse.”

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of cloth with two sewn cloth straps attached to both sides.

Zhao Zhongyi took it and looked at it, frowning and thinking.

He couldn't figure out what it was, but it felt like there was a sandwich in the middle, and the cloth straps on both sides were actually elastic.

"Let's make it. How many feet of cloth can this little thing use?" Zhao Zhongyi said: "Sometimes he likes to fool around when passing on salary, but it doesn't cost much money."

Even if Zhao Chuanxin is a little extravagant and wasteful, it will not be worth the contribution he has made to Lugang Town, Lubin Prefecture, and this country.

Zhao Zhongyi thought so.

Liu Guogui's wife pursed her lips: "Even though this thing is small, it is not cheap. Brigadier Zhao, please take a closer look. This cloth is not woven."

Zhao Zhongyi didn't pay that much attention at first, but now he took a closer look. Sure enough, the front and back of the cloth had no lines at all, but looked a bit like paper.

His wife said: "Students from Hankou Juanwang Technical College said that Chuan Xin spent one million US dollars to build a laboratory for a female student in the United States last year. Later, she cooperated with a Dutch company to create a kind of artificial silk. You see, the cloth strap on this little thing is made of artificial silk, so it is elastic. The cloth is called non-woven fabric, both inside and outside. There is also a piece of wire in the middle... It costs a lot of money. ”

Zhao Zhongyi's face gradually became serious.

A million dollars?

Equivalent to 1.5 million ocean dollars.

Thinking of this, the calculating Zhao Zhongyi couldn't hold back his anger: "This, this is really a bit... nonsense."

"Who says it isn't?"

Zhao Zhongyi's wife said: "Fortunately, I only built one-third of what he asked for, otherwise I might have wasted a lot of money."

…

The plague passed through the Dongqing Railway from Tsarist Russia to Lubin Prefecture, and then spread to Harbin-Erbin. It spread very quickly.

When Zhang Shouzeng became aware of this, the plague had been quietly spreading among the people for some time, and it was discovered by Western medicine doctors sent by the Qing government that it was announced to the world.

Yao Jia was a little panicked: "What should I do?"

He had no experience with this.

Zhang Shouzeng was at a loss what to do: "Looking for a doctor?"

"Mongolian doctor?" Yao Jia couldn't help laughing: "Treat nine, but ten can die."

Zhang Shouzeng paused: "It's better to go to the magistrate, he always has a solution."

Zhao Chuanxin is currently entertaining his son in Lugang Town.

"Ersha, why don't you speak? What do you mean by not speaking? Are you a little introverted? Introversion can be treated in our old Zhao family."

Miao Cuihua was helpless: "He's only a few months old, what do you want him to say?"

Zhao Chuanxin took Zhao Zhengze out of the stroller: "If he didn't look so much like me, I would have doubted whether he was his biological child."

The gap with Zhao Lingjun is also too big.

But you can't say this in front of Miao Cuihua.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't even know whether Miao Cuihua, Rebecca Levi and Gulizar knew about Wilhelmina.

After all, the news is not smooth at this time.

Some people scolded Zhao Chuanxin on the public Internet screen. Zhao Chuanxin didn't care and scolded him casually.

But he has blocked keywords related to his personal feelings and is not allowed to appear in any Internet lobby.

"Ah, ah..."

Zhao Zhengze will chew his hand and say "ah".

"Tell dad, if you don't speak, do you have something to hide? If you are threatened, just blink."

"ah……"

"Assi!"

The clinker Zhao Zhengze said: "Axi..."

Zhao Chuanxin expressed great relief: "There is progress."

Miao Cuihua hurriedly took the child over and said, "Don't teach blindly."

At this time, the nanny looking after the child smiled and praised: "The young master has been handsome since he was a child. When he grows up, he should not attract bees and butterflies."

Zhao Chuanxin smoothed his hair: "What's the use of being so handsome like me? I can speak at least eight months old, I can read at one year old, and I can ride a pig at one and a half years old..."

The nanny was confused: "Riding a pig? Absolutely not!"

Miao Cuihua smiled half-heartedly: "Maybe there are lessons to be learned."

Zhao Chuanxin immediately changed the subject and went to tease Miao Cuihua's hair: "Brother, your French bangs are really pretty."

She is simply the charming version of Tong Liya with a curved front and a curved back.

"Don't touch me." Miao Cuihua hid.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "Please note that touching is also a way to heal the soul."

"Oh." Miao Cuihua stared at Zhao Chuanxin: "Then how often do you heal women?"

Zhao Chuanxin was speechless.

Zhao Zhengze: "Asi."

Then Fan Ziliang came.

Fan Ziliang took the telegram: "Sir, there is plague in Lubin Prefecture."

Zhao Chuanxin took out his cigarette and lit it: "It's finally here."

Miao Cuihua was startled when she first heard about the plague, and was surprised when she heard Zhao Chuanxin's words: "Second brother, what does this mean?"

Zhao Chuanxin touched his son's head and kissed Miao Cuihua: "It's okay, I won't be back for a while, and you should try not to go out."

With that said, he and Fan Ziliang went out together.

Li Guangzong once saw what Zhao Chuanxin had written about the future.

Li Guangzong believed that Zhao Chuanxin was the kind of person like Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang who could calculate and calculate, so he postponed it for five hundred years.

Therefore, he asked Zhao Chuanxian everything about the future in detail.

Zhao Chuanxin forgot some things, but Li Guangzong did not.

He reminded Zhao Chuanxin early to prepare for epidemic prevention.

Liu Guoguo was as anxious as an overheated ant: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Gao Li was dazzled: "Don't go back and forth, you will become confused later."

"The pandemic is ruthless."

Someone pushed the door open, and the two of them followed the sound and saw that it was Zhao Chuanxin.

Somehow, when the sky is falling, as long as Zhao Chuanxin shows up, it has the effect of stabilizing people's hearts.

Zhao Chuanxin threw the two pamphlets to the two of them: "Take them and print them according to the plates and distribute them."

The two of them picked up the book and looked at it carefully.

"Medical staff and corpse bearers wear masks? What are masks?"

Zhao Chuanxin took out the mask from his pocket, hung it on his ears, kneaded the wire at the bridge of his nose into the shape of the bridge of his nose, and said dullly: "This is the mask."

Then hand one to each of them.

The two of them also imitated Zhao Chuanxin and put it on, but Liu Guogui put it on backwards. The wire was on his chin, and he couldn't get the shape out of it even after he pinched it several times.

Gao Li pointed at him: "Inverted, there is a wire underneath."

Only then did Liu Guoguo understand the principle: "Tsk, tsk, wearing this can prevent the plague?"

"It's to prevent the spread of plague." Zhao Chuanxin corrected: "Plague is one or several types of bacteria. Have you seen the collection of animals I drew? Plague is mainly prevalent among rodents and can also be transmitted to humans. Usually through fleas. Or spread by spittle when someone talks."

Liu Guoguo patted his chest: "Fortunately, I don't spit on my words."

"Everyone sprays, but you can't see it. In winter, why is the air we exhale when we go out a white mist? It's all moisture. As long as you breathe and talk, there will be spittle stars."

Liu Baoguo and Gao Li didn't know what was happening.

Looking through the booklet again, it turns out that there are detailed descriptions in it.

Zhao Chuanxin added: "Whether it is Hong Kong, Macao, Lubinfu, Hankou and other places, medical care is not as developed as Lugang Town. Therefore, this epidemic prevention work is mainly carried out by the medical staff of Lugang Town Hospital. The first priority now is to publish Booklet to train doctors and nurses.”

"Where is the mask?" Liu Guoguo took off the mask and felt a little depressed: "Is it too late to produce it now?"

After all, the technology is not up to standard. The breathability of the inner and outer non-woven fabrics is questionable. The middle is not melt-blown non-woven fabric, but just dense fabric.

Although it was not satisfactory, Liu Yuanshan tried his best.

Zhao Chuanxin also took off his mask and said: "At the beginning of the year, I had already placed an order at my brother's processing factory, which was enough to distribute to staff everywhere."

"Let's go to Zhongyi's factory."

The three of them went to the garment factory, and Zhao Zhongyi and his wife happened to be there, as well as Liu Guogui's wife.

After clarifying the purpose of asking for the order, Zhao Zhongyi's wife said: "Pass salary, it's not my sister-in-law who tells you, you don't take money seriously. I've processed one-third of the thing you want, and the rest is The money you placed is all in your account, remember to take it with you when you leave.”

Liu Guogui's wife added to the situation beside her: "No, this thing is too small to be used as underpants."

Women outside the customs, especially women in Lugang Town, are not afraid of meat and vegetables in their speech, and they are somewhat aggressive, which is especially disliked by southerners.

This was true even after the culture of openness was adopted.

Zhao Chuanxin and the other three were dumbfounded.

"Didn't you do everything?"

"No!"

"Only a third?"

"yes."

Gao Li was still able to keep his composure, but Liu Guoguo was furious: "This is a salary passed down to prevent the epidemic. It's really short of knowledge."

He not only scolded his wife, but also secretly scolded Zhao Zhongyi's wife.

When the two women heard this, their heads were buzzing, but they said stubbornly: "How can this little thing prevent the epidemic? It's like child's play!"

Zhao Chuanxin actually wanted to scold her, but that person was his sister-in-law in name, but in reality she was his great-great-grandmother.

Can't curse.

As soon as he took out his cigarette, he wanted to light it depressedly, but Zhao Zhongyi hurriedly stopped him: "No open flames are allowed here, it will explode."

Zhao Chuanxin put away the cigarette angrily, feeling confused.

Although Zhao Zhongyi was shocked, he was not confused.

He did not question the role of masks, let alone Zhao Chuanxin.

I originally thought that Zhao Chuanxin was a bit of a fool, but now it seems that Zhao Chuanxin is the most foresighted one.

No wonder people say that Zhao Chuanxin is good at calculating things.

Zhao Zhongyi was also convinced.

He said solemnly: "Put down other order business and work overtime to produce masks."

…

Modern medicine is still in its ignorant stage in China at this time.

The first people to discover that the plague was plague were two Western doctors and five nurses sent by the Qing government from Fengtian.

Among them, the one who made the greatest contribution was Wu Liande, who was later nominated for the Nobel Prize.

Wu Liande secretly dissected the corpse of a patient who died of infection and used a Baker microscope to see that the blood contained oval-shaped bacteria - Yersinia pestis.

He dissected hundreds of more mice, but found none carrying Yersinia pestis.

So two things were determined: first, the plague was transmitted from elsewhere. Second, plague does not need to be transmitted through rodents such as rats, but is spread by other means.

The news spread to the south through Internet companies, and a war of words about the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine started online.

When Zhao Chuanxin returned to Lubin Mansion with a batch of masks and held a meeting with government officials, Yao Jia asked: "Sir, do you think Chinese medicine or Western medicine is better?"

“Our traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of development, so it certainly has its merits.” Zhao Chuanxin lit up a cigarette and said, “But the problem is that no one has improved the traditional Chinese medicine system, which has led to many fallacies and even unbelievable prescriptions still available. Doctors can also be regarded as craftsmen. There are three things that are most criticized by craftsmen in various fields in China. One is that they cherish their brooms for themselves, the other is that they work behind closed doors, and the third is that they do not speak human words and pretend to be mysterious.

Western medicine also has a lot of nonsense, such as bloodletting, or cutting off a piece of brain to cure diseases, etc.

But the future will definitely be dominated by Western medicine. Western medicine theory is systematic and open, and the diagnosis and treatment methods are similar to criminal law, using increasingly mature methods to diagnose and treat diseases.

So this time, we will use Western medicine as the main method and Chinese medicine as the auxiliary method for epidemic prevention. "

Zhao Chuanxin saw that many people on the scene did not agree.

Just like in later generations, whenever there is a dispute between Chinese and Western medicine, the ancestors must be brought up: the things left by the ancestors must be good.

You can know how stupid this sentence is even if you think with your toes.

Zhao Chuanxin understands why Chinese medicine will decline and Western medicine will rise.

When a doctor uses the five elements to represent the internal organs and uses the vague words such as mutual generation and mutual restraint to tell patients what diseases they have, most people are confused.

But if you tell patients that they have high blood pressure, hypoglycemia, diabetes, prostate calcification, food poisoning... these will know what is going on as soon as they hear it.

Zhao Chuanxin believes that, including those who criticize Western medicine, if you ask everyone to name a few Western medical symptoms, they will be credible, but if you ask everyone to say Chinese medicine, they will be at a loss.

During the diagnosis and treatment of Chinese medicine , patients are confused.

During the diagnosis and treatment of Western medicine, patients at least understand what disease they have.

In contrast, the latter can be prevented and treated according to Western medicine theory, such as smoking and drinking stimulate blood vessels, staying up late is bad for the heart and can cause inflammation, etc.

The former can only guess, fantasizing about extinguishing the fire of a certain organ, covering the water of a certain organ, and harmonizing the air of a certain place...

So in this world, anything that is eliminated has a necessary reason, not just a conspiracy.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that many people wanted to speak when they heard that he wanted to use Western medicine as the main epidemic prevention. He stretched out his hand and said firmly: "How to diagnose, how to disinfect, bury, search for patients, etc. have been recorded in the booklet. Don't argue with me, just do it, there is no time to be verbose.

The doctors and nurses sent by Lugang Town are already on the way. Before that, our doctors in Lubin Prefecture must also read the epidemic prevention manual carefully. When they come, they will be trained directly.

At the beginning of the year, I had asked my eldest apprentice Benjamin Goldberg to stock up alcohol, raw sulfur, and carbolic acid in his company, which was just used to stabilize prices and prevent prices from rising.

In addition, Benjamin also studied antibiotics and registered patents to treat critically ill patients.

The masks are produced by the Lugang Town Garment Factory, so medical staff and those who carry and bury the bodies need to wear them.

The patients found out must be isolated. ”

Tang Qunying asked: "Sir, where will they be isolated?"

"Didn't I have people start building townhouses at various railway stations in the spring? Use that for isolation."

Everyone was in an uproar.

Really foreseeing the future.

This gave everyone more confidence.

After the meeting, everyone started to get busy.

Zhao Chuanxin asked Tang Qunying: "Why didn't Rebecca come?"

Tang Qunying opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.

Finally, she gritted her teeth: "I didn't let her come because of the plague and she was pregnant. "

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened: "Whose bastard?"

There are many men who still possess females at the cost of their lives in the ancient era of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

Obviously, Zhao Chuanxin doesn't care about these things at all.

Facts have proved that in a society where civilization is becoming more and more popular and women's rights are becoming stronger, strong possessiveness will only backfire.

The less you care, the more women will be devoted to you.

People who are strictly guarding against it make women disgusted, and they appear narrow-minded and paranoid, which is very pathetic.

Tang Qunying also widened his eyes: "You two can lift the roof when you are crazy, and where you are pregnant, how do I know? I have no way of determining whether it is a bastard at home."

"Chao." Zhao Chuanxin picked up his fingers and said: "It's enough for a mahjong table."

Tang Qunying pinched her waist and said: "I won't go back to live for the time being, and the adults should not go back either. Once you get sick, it's not a joke. "

Any woman who practices balancing skills diligently will not show her pregnancy.

So among Zhao Chuanxin's women, only Gulizar had a high belly.

That's why he didn't find out that Rebecca Levi was pregnant.

...

Everyone in the north and south of the Yangtze River was paying attention to the plague outside the Great Wall.

A lot of people had died outside. Years ago, during the worst period, about 200 people died every day.

However, Wu Lien-teh found that no one died in Lubinfu and Lugang Town.

Later, the epidemic prevention booklets of Lugang Town and Lubinfu flowed into Wu Lien-teh's hands.

He said to his assistant Dr. Yao and the nurse in shock: "Zhao Chuanxin is really a genius. He even has extremely high attainments in medicine!"
