When Li Zixiao came to the medicine hall, he could smell a strong smell of Chinese medicine before he got close, and he also saw several fifteen or sixteen-year-old medicine children grinding medicinal herbs, and Li Langzhong was lying on a rocking chair reading a medical book.
"Hey, Lao Li, you have a good life, but it's much more nourishing than me." After Li Zixiao approached, he said to Li Langzhong with a smile.
Li Langzhong, whose real name is Li Zhengming, a native of Shaanxi, came to his forties this year, and he is a traveling doctor himself, who travels to and from the north and south of the river to see people everywhere.
"Big boss, what kind of wind blew you here, aren't you busy training those recruits?" Li Langzhong saw Li Zixiao coming, sat up from the rocking chair, and asked with a smile.
"The training is left to Dazhu and they to do, and I rarely have a leisure." Quartz moved a chair for Li Zixiao to sit down, and there was a tea set next to him, and Li Langzhong personally made tea for Li Zixiao.
"Wei Hong told me just now that the construction of a new batch of houses on the east side of the cottage has been completed, and you will send a few people to disinfect them later, and then let those recruits move in."
Li Zixiao took the tea made by Li Langzhong, took a sip, and said to him.
"Yes, big boss, the old man remembers."
"By the way, how is Luo Chao's mother's illness?" Li Zixiao asked.
"Luo Chao's mother's illness is not a serious illness, but she needs to recuperate slowly, I prescribed her two prescriptions to calm her nerves and nourish, and let her take it slowly first."
"That's good." When Li Zixiao heard Li Langzhong say this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face and he said.
In this way, it means that Luo Chao will not leave their cottage at all in a short period of time, and Li Zixiao will find a reason to visit Luo Chao's mother almost every day in the past two days.
is nothing more than to get closer to Luo Chao and find an opportunity to take him under his command, and with the few conversations between Li Zixiao and Luo Chao in the past two days, he found that Luo Chao seems to have less resistance to him.
However, Li Zixiao also saw that Luo Chao did not mean to work for him completely, but the change in attitude was a good sign, take your time, anyway, he has enough time.
"Lao Li, the medicinal materials we reserve in the cottage are enough, if we encounter a big war, can the medicinal materials we reserve be enough?" Li Zixiao asked Li Langzhong.
Because Li Zixiao is worried that they will face the revenge of the Cai family at any time, and the encirclement and suppression of the government, when the time comes, the number of wounded soldiers will inevitably surge.
"Don't worry, didn't the big boss ask Ergouzi to purchase a batch of medicinal materials from the pharmacy in Xiayi County, but now the medicinal materials in our hands are enough to support us for a long time.
Now I have a total of five doctors, all of whom have more than ten years of medical experience, and this is thanks to the big boss who recruited these doctors before to share the pressure for me.
Coupled with nine interns and fifteen medicine boys, my medical team is now full of talent.
Even if there is a big battle and the number of wounded soldiers surges, our medical team is enough to cope with the situation, and you are not at ease with my work! ”
Li Langzhong said with a red face.
Before, with Li Zixiao's attention to doctors, how could anyone not be injured in a war, so he sent Zhang Ergouzi to try to find some doctors when recruiting homeless people, and in two months, he really asked Zhang Ergouzi to bring back five doctors.
Li Zixiao handed over all these doctors to Li Langzhong to manage, after all, a special medical team was established, and he was the captain of this medical team.
At the same time, let Li Langzhong select some young people and children, accept them as disciples, and teach them medical skills, which can be regarded as a reserve of medical talents for their team.
"That's good, Lao Li, don't forget what I told you, go and detoxify the new houses of those recruits, and then explain the health regulations to them, I'll go first."
Li Zixiao just came to see the situation of the medical team, and now he is relieved to listen to Li Langzhong's assurance.
As for Li Zixiao's request for Li Langzhong to send someone to disinfect the house that the recruits had just built and played, it was completely mentioned in passing, these are all cottage health regulations, even if Li Zixiao doesn't mention it, Li Langzhong will take the initiative to bring someone there after he gets the news.
Li Zixiao had formulated some health regulations before, but at that time, he had few people under him, and the regulations were relatively crude.
And now that he has more and more men under him, the slightest carelessness may cause an epidemic, which will cause the combat effectiveness of his team to be attrition, and greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of his team.
So, Li Zixiao discussed this with Li Langzhong, and together formulated a more perfect health regulations and internal affairs regulations, Li Zixiao put forward a lot of things that Li Langzhong was interested in according to modern health and epidemic prevention methods.
According to the hygiene regulations of the cottage, new entrants to the cottage are taken to a stream in the ravine, where they are cleaned inside and out.
Because there was no soap available at this time, Li Zixiao sent people to search for some honey locust trees in the nearby mountains, and picked some honey locusts to distribute.
Even the tattered clothes worn by the newcomers were vigorously washed with honey locusts to remove fleas from their original bodies, and it was stipulated that every three days, everyone had to take a bath.
In addition, Li Zixiao sent people to set up a total of six thatched houses outside the cottage, stipulating that no one in the cottage was allowed to defecate anywhere, and must go to the designated thatched house to defecate, and violators would be severely punished.
In addition to formulating health regulations, Li Zixiao also formulated an internal affairs regulation for his subordinates, and when the number of people in the cottage was small, they all lived in the cave collectively.
But later, as the number of people in the cottage increased, Li Zixiao had to order people to cut down trees and build wooden houses on the slopes of the east and west sides of the cottage for the cottage soldiers to live in and use as camps.
Each newly built house was carefully cleaned, and the inside and outside of the house were smoked using wormwood, which was readily available in the nearby hills.
He also found lime and sprinkled it on the ground and the four corners of the house, killing all the mosquitoes and fleas in the original house, in short, Li Zixiao asked all the soldiers to clean the camp.
For Li Zixiao to formulate such strict health and housekeeping regulations, many new people who joined the cottage were very unimpressed and even more unaccustomed to it, but after some people were severely punished for violating these regulations one after another, they obediently complied with it.
Most of the displaced people recruited are from poor people, and they usually can't take a shower a few times a year, and they are used to it.
They think that a little flea or something on their body is not a big deal, they don't live well, they haven't seen people who are dirty to death, only people who are starved to death.
But Li Zixiao's rules are set like this, and they are very strict, and they will be inspected every day, and these new people who join the cottage have to follow, and after a few days, they gradually adapt to this strict health system.
Among them, Li Zixiao stipulated that everyone in the cottage must drink boiled water, and must not drink raw water without authorization, and after such regulations were formulated, they attracted Li Langzhong's attention.
As a healer, he naturally knew that sometimes some diseases came from the bite of fleas and mosquitoes, and they were also transmitted through drinking water and food.
And Li Zixiao formulated such strict health regulations and internal affairs regulations, which just cut off the transmission routes of many epidemic diseases, and Li Langzhong couldn't help but feel more and more curious about why Li Zixiao knew these medical knowledge that was difficult for ordinary people to know.
Li Zixiao saw that Li Langzhong was working under him during this time, but he was also conscientious, and he didn't think about leaving, Li Langzhong was the best group of people to follow him.
Coupled with Li Zixiao's attention to the team's medical treatment, the number of his subordinates gradually increased, and he was obviously a little too busy to see Li Langzhong taking care of the wounded alone.
So he joined the cottage from the new, selected a few children around fifteen or sixteen years old, and handed them over to Li Langzhong to call as his medicine boy and give him a hand to use.
At the same time, he also asked Li Langzhong to teach them some simple handling of external injuries and the ability to deal with minor injuries, and Li Zixiao unified these people under the command of Li Langzhong, collectively known as medical soldiers.
Although people in all walks of life in ancient China had the habit of cherishing their skills and not passing them on, they did not easily pass on their family skills, which also made many legendary crafts and technologies in China gradually lost.
But Li Langzhong had already planned to accept apprentices, but he spent the first half of his life in exile, and it was difficult to take care of himself, so how could he have the energy to teach apprentices.
Now Li Zixiao has selected these children to help him, and hopes that he can choose one or two talented medical skills to inherit his medical skills, he does not shirk, and readily accepts Li Zixiao's arrangement.
And Li Langzhong really admired Li Zixiao for treating his injured brothers so kindly, to be honest.
You must know that at this time, the lives of people in the late Ming Dynasty were as worthless as mustard, let alone these poor people who were forced to be bandits, in the eyes of normal bandit leaders, the lives of their subordinates did not matter at all.
Anyway, if a batch dies, he will soon be able to pull out another batch, and the three-legged toad in this world is not easy to do, and there are people who can't survive with two legs hungry everywhere.
Even among the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at this time, they did not pay much attention to the treatment of the wounded on the battlefield, and it was good to be equipped with one or two medical officers in an army of 10,000 people.
The officers are better, once they are injured, there are doctors who accompany the army to treat them, while ordinary soldiers, in this era, once they are injured on the battlefield, they basically have to rely on themselves to stand up.
Even if there are military medical officers, if there are too many wounded soldiers, they will not be able to be treated at all, and the stronger soldiers may be able to survive.
However, many soldiers were only slightly wounded, and finally died due to lack of medical treatment and finally infected wounds, so once the soldiers of this era were injured on the battlefield, whether they could survive or not depended on luck.
As long as Li Zixiao is in some film and television works in later generations, he often sees many people holding knives casually, if they take arrows, it is just a joke, in reality, you dare to do this, try it, and ensure that your wound is infected and you will die.
Li Zixiao is obviously different from others in this regard, after following Li Zixiao from Li Langzhong, he found that Li Zixiao attaches great importance to these wounded soldiers, not only giving them careful care, but also doing his best to treat them.
Li Zixiao's approach even touched Li Langzhong, and this approach undoubtedly bought a lot of people's hearts.
Especially those wounded, one by one they were grateful, and swore that they would sell their lives to Li Zixiao in this life, and Li Zixiao's refusal to abandon the wounded soldiers invisibly greatly boosted the morale of others.
So during the time that Li Langzhong was under Li Zixiao, his life was also very fulfilling, he was getting older, and he didn't have the energy to practice medicine everywhere to save people, plus Li Zixiao saved his life, so he simply stayed willingly.
Before, Li Langzhong was also in short supply of medicines, and some herbs were indispensable for treating the wounded, but the price of medicinal materials to buy was not expensive this year.
In the end, Li Zixiao did not hesitate to take out nearly 1,000 taels of silver to buy a large number of Chinese medicinal materials from several medicinal herb merchants at a high price, such as Panax notoginseng and other anti-inflammatory and hemostatic herbs.
These herbs were used the most in wartime, and Li Langzhong used these herbs again, and immediately prepared some wounded medicines with his own secret recipe, which were used for the treatment of the wounded in the army, and some were stored for later use.
Li Zixiao can't provide much help in this regard, but in terms of wound treatment, Li Zixiao still has a little bit of his own opinions.
Although Li Zixiao did not come from a medical background in his later life, he had never eaten pork and never seen a pig run, and he would occasionally get a little illness or injury in later life.
He has also been to this hospital and clinic many times, and he has never seen and heard about the treatment of general trauma, and he still has a considerable say in the matter of disinfection.
When he was fine, Li Zixiao would communicate with Li Langzhong, and he made a lot of suggestions to Li Langzhong about his experience in this regard, especially on the disinfection of various items used for wound treatment of the wounded.
For example, all the strips of cloth used to bandage wounds must be steamed in a basket and then exposed to the scorching sun before they can be used to bandage wounds, and the wounds must be cleaned with cool boiled water.
All the instruments used to treat wounded wounds must also be steamed at high temperatures and stored in sterilized boxes, as well as tools such as hemostats.
Li Zixiao said these things, which made Li Langzhong very surprised, although he was practicing medicine, he also knew that some unclean things would cause wound ulceration.
Only using something as clean as possible would reduce the likelihood of the wound festering, but he couldn't say exactly why this happened.
Out of his dedication to medicine, Li Langzhong often went to Li Zixiao to ask about this reason, of course Li Zixiao knew why, because of bacteria!
But in this era when there is no microscope, if you talk to others about bacteria, it is estimated that few people believe it, so Li Zixiao simply tried to give Li Langzhong an easy-to-understand lecture, and he will definitely lead him to the aspect of microorganisms, as for how much he can understand in the end, Li Zixiao is too lazy to care.
Time flies, a month has passed in the blink of an eye, the weather has warmed, the midwinter has passed, and spring has arrived.
At this time, Li Zixiao's White Snake Village is a thriving scene, and the recruits who joined their cottage have already integrated into the cottage after more than a month of hard training, and they are similar to those veterans, the only thing is that they haven't seen blood yet.
However, when spring came, Li Zixiao was not happy at all, but frowned for several days.
