Chapter 149: In troubled times, good people are easy to become thieves

In the past few months, more than 90 percent of the prisoners who have been sent in these months have taken risks and stolen and plundered, and the punishment has been the heaviest. The eldest grandson Geng and the prison island officials are mostly locals, and they also have an attitude of rejection towards the homeless prisoners sent to the island, but they are limited to the strict orders of the forest and are barely treated equally.

Even if Lin Jian is not a person whose sympathy is overflowing at will, he knows the cruel fact that good people in troubled times are easy to become thieves, and they are mostly forced to make a living, so he has no prejudice against these prisoners.

Lin Jian had seen the small beds for the wounded and sick in the No. A prison cell, which could hold three or four hundred people, and watched with a gloomy face as a young doctor and apprentice led by Wu Yanqing gave medicine to the wounded prisoners.

The young man's technique is already very familiar, and it is also because of the large number of injuries he has in contact with, and the paper bag for the wound medicine is placed at hand, probably because Lin Tie is too nervous to look at the side, and the young man accidentally knocks the medicine bag to the ground.

The scum-like medicine was sprinkled on the ground, and the eldest grandson Geng felt heartache when he saw it.

The Wuyan Qingjiao was also stern, and when he saw it on the side, he sharply reprimanded the young man.

Lin Jian walked over and squatted down, carefully pinched the medicine that had not been soiled on the upper layer into the paper bag, and comforted the young man: "You are already quite proficient in getting started, it seems that you have not rested enough?" "Give the boy the paper medicine bag that is only half smaller.

"There are too many wounds, and we don't have enough manpower, in addition to the injuries here to take care of, decoctions and dressings also have to be prepared, and you can see that these external dressings are also grinding very sloppily," Wu Yanqing said, "It's really not enough manpower." ”

"There are two Lang Zhong who fled in the forest, I have thought about it, I want to open a medical clinic in the estuary, it is enough to use one person, and one person will be sent here to help you temporarily, and then trouble Mr. Wu to work harder, and bring a few little apprentices." Lin Jian said.

"Alright, alright, you'd better send someone to me now." Wu Yanqing said.

The eldest grandson Geng's heart hurt, and if he uses more people, he will spend more money, and said in a low voice: "If you add more people, the island will not be able to make ends meet." ”

"This is also troublesome," Lin Jian frowned and said to Changsun Geng: "Changsun Shuban, you wrote a submission to the Prosecutor's Department in the name of Prison Island, bluntly saying that the corporal punishment of the yamen of various prefectures and counties is too heavy, especially the prisoners sent by Gutang County, ten prisoners and nine seriously injured, let me ask if Gutang County is applying corporal punishment or beheading?" The 17 prisoners who were seriously injured and died in Gutang County were clearly listed in the text, and the tone did not need to be tactful. In the future, the prisoners sent by Gutang County will be rejected if they have broken bones or more, and then the wounded prisoners sent by Gutang County will die of incurability, and the corpses will be sent directly to the Gutang County Ya. Gutang County is not afraid of poking the basket, so they will continue to poke it......"

"This ......" Changsun Geng looked at Lin Jian hesitantly, "This submission is handed over, and Gutang County will have a grudge." ”

"Do I have fewer opponents in Jiangning?" Lin Jian looked at the wounded prisoners in the prison room, frowned and asked, "Our side is also businesslike, so there is nothing to worry about; The surname Liang in Gutang County only dares to pinch soft persimmons. ”

Lin Jian is still worried about the large number of displaced people stranded on the river beach on the north bank of Chaotiandang, and would rather have some small chaos at this time and force Jiangning Mansion and Gutang County to solve the problem, rather than flooding and corpses everywhere in the future. I have a lot of hard work, and I don't know if anyone knows.

Wu Yanqing was in urgent need of manpower here, and Lin Jian did not delay, and immediately asked people to go to the estuary to find Lin Mengde, and asked him to send the two Langzhong and several apprentices who had fled in the forest to send a boat to come over for emergency.

Lin Jian has an idea, which is to train as many qualified doctors as possible.

At that time, the military camp also used medical officers, but the number was very small, almost more than 10,000 people in each town were equipped with one military medical officer, and the generals who attached importance to the medical treatment of the military camp may also add two more to the military medical officer. In peacetime, it is barely enough to treat a headache and foot pain, but when there are a large number of casualties in wartime, this amount of manpower is not enough at all.

In fierce battles, there are always a small number of people who die on the spot, and most of them die from blood loss or infection after injury, resulting in a large number of attrition. There are many factors that affect the morale of the soldiers, and the lack of timely and effective medical treatment for the injured is not the most important thing, and it cannot be ignored.

Of course, the profession of doctor has high requirements for practitioners, and the training time is long, and those who have the ability to train their children to be literate for a long time are keen on fame, although the profession of doctor is also respected, but after all, it is not classified into the category of the gentry, which also causes the scarcity of doctors in the world.

Even if Lin Jian can't solve these problems completely, he must improve them as much as possible.

This time escaped from Shanglin, the others Lin Tie didn't care, and they couldn't take care of it, and the two Lang Zhong and several apprentices in the Shanglin Medical Hall were picked up together.

Lin Tingxun is also a person with vision, the Lin family established a clan in Shanglin, and Lin Tingxun has done many things that benefit the local community, one of which is to build a school in Shanglin.

Different from ordinary private schools, the scale of the Lin school is much larger, and there are four teachers who are invited, regardless of the family and the children of the side branches, they can study for free, and the children of the non-Lin nationality in the township only charge a small amount of rice money to enter the school.

Lin Bin, Lin Jingzhong, and Zhao Hu were able to read and benefit from this, which also made the literacy rate of the villagers in Shanglin much higher than the average level of the world, which also made it possible for the Lin family to use the children of the countryside as shopkeepers in various industries.

In addition to the forest binding, there are more than 1,000 villagers who fled directly from the upper forest; Lin Jian asked Zhao Mengde to accommodate the checkpoints on the north bank, and use the ferry boat of Xihedu to take the villagers in Shanglinli who had fled to the north bank to the estuary to settle down. In addition to those who could seek refuge with relatives and friends, there were almost 3,000 villagers stranded at the mouth of the river at this time. Lin Jian set up two porridge farms at the mouth of the river for relief, and it costs 2,000 catties of rice to cook vegetable porridge every day, which also makes Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong and others very busy.

There were as many as four or five hundred young people among the villagers, and one hundred and forty or fifty of them could read and write.

Lin Jian looked at the more than 300 wounded prisoners lying in the cell, and thought to himself that it should not be too much to give Wu Yanqing another twenty or thirty apprentices.

With so many wounded prisoners to practice, apprentices should learn faster to heal their wounds.

When the wounded prisoners in the cell were brought over with corporal torture, they thought that their lives were not guaranteed, so where did they expect to receive careful treatment? Besides, the food here is much more delicious than the bark, grass, stems, and rice bran when I was a homeless, and I thought I was going to heaven on earth. When I came to the island, I heard a lot of rumors about Lin Bin, and when I saw the real person, many people would get up and kowtow to thank them if they didn't care about the heat on their bodies, but they didn't know that Lin Jian wanted to give them to the apprentice to practice.

"Mr. Wu, I have something to discuss with you...... Lin Jian said to Wu Yanqing.

"What's the matter?" Wu Yanqing left the incident at hand and walked with Lin Jian into the aisle outside.

"The external application used here is very large, only apprentices are used to grind the powder, and the manpower is far inferior, I see that Mr. Wu and a few little brothers are very tired," Lin Jian said, "At first, I thought about selecting a few honest, dexterous and capable people from among the prisoners to use, but then I thought about it carefully, there was a better way, so I discussed with Mr. Wu." ”

"What's the method?" Wu Yanqing asked.

"I know that most of the herb shops in the city have visited patients at their homes, and now they are grabbing medicines or grinding them into powders, or making their families take them back to the past to decoction. There are some conventional diseases, especially those that need to use powder, the herb shop will grind the matching powder in advance and wrap it in paper, and some people come to see the doctor, take the medicine bag and leave-the tiger bone scatter of Xuanjitang is very famous in Jiangning, I think it is a method researched by Mr. Wu," Lin Jian said, "Mr. Wu's prescription is better than other people's effect on stopping bleeding and healing, and the wound medicine is ground into powder and stored for a long time, I want to set up a pharmacy in the estuary, hire some people, and specialize in making this powder, one is to treat the wounded prisoners, no need to spend manpower here, Second, it can be sold to outsiders as trauma medicine. If there is a surplus, Mr. Wu will take two percent of the profit, Mr. Wu, how do you see it......"

"That's fine," Wu Yanqing said, "Don't mention the matter of profit distribution, how much money is a method worth?" Outside of Prison Island, it is rumored that it is quite unfavorable to you, and when the old man occasionally goes back to the city, there are always many people who come to persuade the old man to leave this place, and say that if he is coerced by you, they will also think for me. But I'm thinking, if those people who are full of benevolence and morality come to govern Prison Island, who would use medicine to treat wounded prisoners as hard as you? ”

"Mr. Wu has an overreputation," Lin Jian said, "A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way, and he is not a gentleman who loves money." Mr. Wu set up a garden in the bamboo house and planted some medicinal herbs, and I heard that Mr. Wu had the ambition of building a medicinal garden to collect herbs from all over the world, which would benefit the country and the people, but also have financial resources to promote ......"

"Well," Wu Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "Grinding potions will not benefit much, and there will be a lot of manpower, if there is a profit, I will take one percent of the profit." It's just that Wu's micro-ability is poor, so I'm afraid of hurting you. ”

"I'm a man who loves money...... Lin Jian said with a smile, so he didn't bother Wu Yanqing to save the dead and help the wounded here, and walked around the prison again, and drove Lin Mengde to personally send two Lang Zhong and a few apprentices to the island.

Lin Mengde knew that Lin Lian was going to hide at this time and not participate in the Lin family's reduction of Xiangyong, and he had something to do during the day to come to the island to find Lin Lian, find Lin Lian and others, and said to him: "It's a coincidence today, the boat of the Xihe Society just sent Miss Liu and her father and sister-in-law over, after Liu An'er occupied the city, there was no restriction on civilians to leave, they walked on the road for five days, and only arrived at the outpost of the camp in Gutang County yesterday morning, reported your name, Liu Xilin sent someone to the ferry, and drove Sun Jingtang to the north and personally sent across the river. That's good. ”

Many things, Liu Yue'er didn't say it, Lin Jian could also hear it from other people's mouths, Liu Yue'er's parents, brother and sister-in-law were quite mean and snobbish, Liang Zuoren gave Liu Yue'er to the Gu family as a cook, and it was his parents, brother and sister-in-law who were greedy for money. Lin Mengde said that if Liu Yue'er's parents, brother and sister-in-law came over safely, he could officially take Liu Yue'er as a concubine, and he didn't have to worry about others talking about "filial piety".
