Insects are small, they are indeed small, they are insignificant compared to humans, humans only need to raise their feet and hands, they can be easily crushed and killed, but these little things are small, but they are not small at all, humans can easily kill them when they see them, and they can also kill humans when humans can't see them.

That's right, Suning already knows what the symptoms of this plague are, and perhaps in a sense, the origin of this plague is not people, but bugs.

Malaria.

Ancient China did not have enough understanding of malaria, and many medical books still refer to cold fever, not malaria caused by parasites, and the probability of this infectious disease is not large in China, so this disease has not been fully valued, and it is not until modern times that the best remedy for this disease has been found, Qingsong.

Compared with Europe, China has the concept of drinking hot water in a very early age, and there is also the concept of separating boiling water from raw water, the ancients called raw water water, hot water called soup, and for a long time it was said so, compared with Europe, China is undoubtedly lucky, because China rarely occurs because of parasites and caused large-scale diseases, but this disease appeared on a large scale in Europe, several times to push Europeans into a desperate situation, the most famous is the Black Death.

The reason why there have been many violent infectious diseases caused by parasitic protozoa in Europe is because Europeans have not had the awareness to drink boiled water for a long time, while Chinese are not. It was recognized very early on that it was necessary to drink hot water in winter and cold water in summer when it was cold, but this was not the case in Europe, so large-scale and virulent infectious diseases often occurred, and the city of Rome had a population of one million at its peak, but only 200,000 people remained after a great plague.

But don't be happy, compared to the Europeans, China is only a little luckier on a certain scale. I have the habit and awareness of drinking hot water very early. Later, the popularity of tea accelerated the growth of this consciousness, but a considerable part of the working people at the bottom were still accustomed to drinking raw water, even water in the gutter, and rainwater in the donkey's hoof prints. You can drink water from anywhere. I don't care if the water is hygienic or not.

It's fine when it's cold. Bacteria don't breed easily, but once it's the beginning of spring and midsummer, everything grows. This situation will be exacerbated, but because the Chinese still prefer hot water, but also like vassal elegance, meat we can't afford to eat, but hot water we can still afford to drink, so for a long time many places drink hot water, do not drink raw water, for water requirements are also a lot.

But the denser the population, the greater the pressure of life, the more urgent the time, the lower the requirements for their own enjoyment, the same is true of Chang'an City, the people drink hot water, but mainly concentrated in autumn and winter and the cold season of spring, how can anyone drink hot water in summer? If you ask why you don't let the boiling water cool before drinking, they will say that I just drink raw water.

It is precisely because of this consciousness that this malaria is more common among the poor people in the lower classes, and there is no awareness of hygiene, and the families in the upper classes have little and dirty water, and they all drink clean boiled water, and there are special people who let the boiling water cool before drinking, which is very convenient, Suning should also note that the people who came to the general courtyard are poor people, and they did not see the big people with fresh clothes and angry horses, even the army ordered by Suning did not bring the upper-class people who got sick, but inadvertently reduced a lot of trouble for Suning.

Such an abnormal situation, should have been noticed earlier, in the imperial city of Li Er's Xià, there was not much threat in the first place, most of those who got sick, most of them only drank raw water and did not drink boiled water, and they didn't know where to get the raw water, it was full of bacteria and protozoa invisible to the naked eye, which entered the body and caused lesions, Suning didn't know why there was only one big outbreak this year, but the plague did not break out every year, maybe this is a process of accumulation.

Now that we know what the reason is, Suning has to verify it, so as to finally confirm that at present, Chang'an City has been given a death order by Suning, and it is necessary to drink boiled clean water, and it is not allowed to drink raw water, especially raw water from unknown sources, violators are beheaded, and there are no people who dare to drink raw water under such an order, so the source of the disease should have been cut off, the probability of onset has been greatly reduced, and there should no longer be people with illness in the future, if this is the case, it is really the blessing of the ancestors.

It's not smallpox, it's not typhoid fever, it's really because of the disease caused by the protozoa, then there is help, if it's smallpox, in addition to vaccination, there is really no other way, the earliest vaccination technology was born in the Song Dynasty in China, when it used human pox, not cowpox, but even so, there is no way to immediately carry out it on a large scale, and the infected person really has only one way to die, no way to live.

And this malaria, there is a medicine to do, there is a way to treat it, thank God, this is not a real plague, not a real killer, by the standards of the Jian'an plague, this is a false alarm.

Suning immediately rushed to the place where the patient said to drink water, and looked, sure enough, although Chang'an City is prosperous, although it has made great progress over the years, it is obvious that any prosperous city has dark corners, and the places where these people live at the bottom are still dirty and messy, and as soon as you enter, you can smell the sour smell of garbage and the inexplicable disgusting taste, and when you come to the side of the ditch, Suning is almost about to spit it out, and the water is black, can you drink it?

In the Tang Dynasty, there were no public health regulations, except that human feces could be used as fertilizer and were particularly cherished, a lot of garbage would be littered everywhere, and no one would tidy up, except for the main road as a national face that must be kept clean and tidy, less than 20 of the 108 squares met the hygiene standards, and the rest were all dirty and messy, and the unpleasant smell in the small river ditch was one after another, and there were still people drinking the water in it......

This is stagnant water, not living water, can it be drunk? It is full of dead air and no living air, this is the best place to brew malaria, and drinking the water in it is a convenient habit for many people, so it is not difficult to investigate. Suning also took into account that because of the rapid development of commerce, the permanent population and floating population of Chang'an City have increased greatly, and their domestic garbage also needs to be treated, and there is no place to deal with it, and the feces and urine will be poured into the ditch to allow it to develop naturally......

This is the hidden crisis under the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, if these problems are not dealt with well, it will be difficult to push the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to the peak, then this prosperity only belongs to the upper level. Belongs to the ruler. Instead of belonging to the people of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of prosperity will also be unsustainable.

Just as Japan was carrying out top-down reforms, the Japanese government was aware that if the consciousness and behavioral norms of the people could not evolve to meet the requirements of a modern country. Then the construction of a modern country will be unsustainable. The people are strong and the country is strong. The people are rich and the country is rich, and the greatest wealth of a country is a strong people, and only the people are strong. Only when the people know etiquette can the country become a country of etiquette.

In contrast, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, China was repeatedly defeated, and finally to the point where Westerners ridiculed China as just a geographical term, which is the reason for the extreme lack of national cohesion.

The reason for the failure of the Republic of China is also the reason why the gap between its top and bottom is too large, the top has developed to the era of industrial civilization, Song Meiling can make the United States crazy, and the bottom is still in the era of agricultural civilization, and the illiteracy rate is still high; The so-called modern civilization, modern norms, and modern etiquette are all incomprehensible, and the 300 years of rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have nothing to gain except for creating a group of foolish people.

It is precisely in this way that the government of the Republic of China will promote the New Life Movement, the reason why Japan is strong is the industrial revolution and the change of national consciousness, if China asks for wealth, foreign science and technology must be introduced, and the people should also keep pace with the times, have the consciousness of modern people, introduce the concept of China, and completely eliminate the Manchu Qing from the minds of the people at the bottom, which should be the most important significance of the New Life Movement.

However, with warlords fighting at home, foreign powers waiting around with foreign powers, internal worries and external troubles, the central government has never been able to actually unify China, and if the country is not unified, how can we talk about development? Some people think that the New Life Movement is a move to work the people and lose money, but what must be known is that the Republic of China and the Tang Dynasty are no different, corresponding to the Tang Dynasty Chang'an, even if it is the Republic of China Shanghai, known as the Oriental Paris, it is also the surface of the scenery is infinite, the inside is dirty, the people do not have the most basic civic consciousness, how to talk about development?

The same is true in the Tang Dynasty, where urine and urine are everywhere, and all garbage is littered, and there are no soldiers staring at the 108 squares, except for the 20 squares where the big people live, the remaining 88 squares are simply garbage heaps, but the Chinese government has no awareness of correcting the norms of national life at the bottom in ancient or modern times......

Urine and urine should go to the toilet, spitting should not be spit on the ground, throwing things should be thrown in the designated position, garbage should be placed in a unified place, the government should choose a place to dispose of garbage, someone should be responsible for greening, responsible for urban cleanliness, responsible for health and safety prevention, interlocking, there can be no lack of anything.

From ancient times to the present, until modern times, China has not completely solved this problem, and there is no way to popularize and automatically abide by basic civic morality, so how can the people really become strong from the spiritual level? It is a pity that the New Life Movement ended without a problem, because China at that time and the current Datang China were no different from each other at the level of the people at the bottom, the same dirty and messy, so how could the people keep up with the development at the national level?

Aware of the severity of this problem, Suning suddenly felt that it was necessary to promote the New Life Movement in Datang, not only to improve the environmental problems of Datang in terms of life safety, but also to let the people keep up with the country's ever-changing development needs at the spiritual level, the country's development is indispensable to talents, but talents are from the people, high-tech needs advanced talents, but a larger infrastructure task must be handed over to the broadest masses of the people, and the people's talent and consciousness are the cornerstone of national development.

Always can not in the Tang Dynasty and the imperial court has progressed to the era of industrial civilization, and the vast number of people can not keep up with the rhythm of the country, entering Chang'an is a time for Grandma Liu to enter the Grand View Garden, that is absolutely impossible, the fundamental significance of the new life movement is to transform the national mentality and behavioral norms, compared with the development of the country, this task, is not inferior at all.

The country is a modern country, and the people are the people of ancient times, which is a deformed development and is destined to cause great chaos.

Really went deep into the folk of Chang'an, Suning realized that he had been ignoring this problem all along, only thinking about the development of the country, the upper class of the country will naturally learn etiquette, they can keep up with the changes of the times, but the lower class people cannot, education popularization, living habits popularization, urgent.

This malaria outbreak is a symptom, a sign of a disconnect between the people and the country, and if such a symptom is not taken seriously, it will lead to a stricter problem, and at that time, it will be too late. (To be continued......)
