The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 279 Vaccinations
Huang Han came from modern times, and he knew that fishing in a dry lake would hurt the foundation of the country.

Therefore, the land rent and taxes he formulated are paid with reference to [-]% of the mu yield of the year, and no one will starve or sell their children because of this burden.

Because the farmers and guards who cultivate the land will get 30.00% of the yield per mu at their own discretion, throwing away [-]% of the cost of farming, they should be able to get [-]% of the output to support their families.

Calculate their balance based on an average military household plowing [-] mu of dry land and harvesting one season of wheat. In the case of a poor year, this family should be able to get more than [-] shi of wheat for rations and exchange for daily necessities.

Huang Han’s calculations are really reasonable. He only calculated that one hectare of wheat per mu of dry land would be about 75 kilograms per season. In Funing, which has undergone small watershed management, it is already very conservative. Military households interplant vegetables, peanuts, etc. The economic crop Huang Han is completely ignored.

In a disaster year, when [-]% of the grain received by farmers and guards is not enough to support their families, the feedback system will follow up. At that time, instead of asking farmers to hand in grain, the "Red Banner Army" system will borrow and reserve grain for them. The common people survived the food shortage.

Huang Han is very confident. Now the integration of farmland and acres in the system has been basically completed, and the construction of reservoirs, ditches, and irrigation wells are always in progress. The possibility of encountering a severe famine with no crops in the Beidaihe area, which is rich in land and water, can basically be ruled out.

Coupled with the fact that potatoes and sweet potatoes with a relatively high yield of [-] to [-] percent per mu are planted in the system, it is not a problem for the "Red Banner Army" system to not be plagued by insufficient food supply in the short term.

Moreover, because the general treats his soldiers kindly, the "Red Banner Army" must ensure that there is a meal of meat every day. Of course, thousands of people stationed in Funing must purchase local supplies such as poultry, eggs, pork, etc. as much as possible.

Raising chickens, ducks, and geese can be sold at a good price, and the poultry eggs are not worrying about selling. This has pointed out the way for the local people to make a fortune through hard work. Nowadays, there are many farmers who are busy renting acres of land and doing side jobs at the same time.

With strong demand, the breeding of folk chickens, ducks, and geese basically adopts kang room incubation technology, and those with a high emergence rate have a rich harvest, which has brought about technological progress.

Those who were too old and weak in the original guard army no longer forced them to practice every three days, and let them completely become farmers to produce food. Now only five young and middle-aged guards from hundreds of households participated in the training.

Huang Han has never pretended to be indifferent, and now only one-third of the guards are left for military training. Of course, they will not train every three days, but run exercises, train queues, and arrays every day according to the standard of cold-armed infantry. , thrust...

The recruiting of the military service exists in the name of the Guards Army, and it is the true nature of paying six qian silver per month plus five buckets of miscellaneous grains under the condition of three meals and uniforms.

This kind of treatment is enough for a strong laborer to support two or three families while supporting himself. Not only the five hundred young and strong former guards who train every day are happy, many ordinary people are vying to join the army, and now there are three thousand in the army. During training.

The common people know that these benefits are the most basic. If you are selected as a soldier because of your good performance, your salary will be doubled immediately.

Only those who can see hope will have motivation. Huang Han is willing to give hope to thousands of Han people, inspire their ambitions, and strive to make Han people never be slaves of other nations!
Spring goes and spring comes again, and it is early spring and February in the blink of an eye. The old apprentice Li Zhonghua has already found dozens of cattle carrying pox virus in Funing.

In order to strengthen the secrecy, Huang Han personally selected two [-]- and [-]-year-old juvenile soldiers from the General Banner rescued from Harqin to be under the command of three old apprentices. He found the cattle carrying the pox virus and then collected the pox vaccine. up.

Before doing it, Huang Han seriously told the two young soldiers of the General Banner that this move was a first-class military secret and anyone who leaked it would be punished.

These children are all orphans. They used to be slaves in Karaqin without enough food and clothing. After being rescued by the "Red Banner Army", they not only got enough food and clothing, but were also incorporated into the queue of young soldiers to practice literature and martial arts every day.

There is no problem with their obedience, they have no relatives, they live in the military camp and eat in the military camp.

Huang Han entrusted these children to the three old apprentices for calling. There are conditions. Working with them for a year is also studying with them for a year. If these children can't write [-] new words silently after one year, the old apprentices are misleading their children. .

Li Zhonghua, Li Zhongzi, and Wu Youxing are all scholars, and they all have at least a reputation as a scholar. Their knowledge as a scholar is far different from that of other scholars.

Because they are all scholars from the south of the Yangtze River, Li Zhonghua and Li Zhongzi are students from Songjiang Prefecture, Wu Youxing is from Suzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan is a place where there are many top scholars, there are so many scholars, it is not easy to be a scholar, and it is even more difficult to be a scholar.

The three of them saw that their teacher gave them more than a hundred youths, and asked them to teach the children to read and read with all their heart. They also had disciples who followed them, and they also taught them at ordinary times.

Huang Han asked the young apprentices to seal off the scene. At this moment, there are only three old apprentices watching.

He explained to Li Zhongzi and the others that the smallpox virus is just a harmless pox on cattle, and then he used a needle to pierce the pustules of the cowpox.

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of the three old apprentices, he stuck the needle contaminated with vaccinia on the outside of his left arm. Huang Han clearly remembered that he had been vaccinated with vaccinia in this position in his previous life, leaving an obvious scar.

Li Zhonghua, Li Zhongzi, and Wu Youxing all watched intently. They were all doctors, so of course they knew that the master's action meant that he had been infected with the pox virus.

Huang Han smiled and asked the three old apprentices: "Are you afraid? Do you dare to stab?"

The three of them rolled up their sleeves without hesitation and exposed their left arms and said, "Master dares, of course we are even more daring, please master."

Huang Han said with a smile while piercing: "There is really no danger, it's just that someone's pierced place may rot and hurt for a few days, leaving a deeper scar.

You have all tested it yourself, and after a few more days of observation, you have to think about how to keep it secret so that no one will know that the pox is so simple and easy to find, and send additional people to vaccinate the entire Red Flag Army. "

In order to prevent the young soldiers of the two general banners from contracting smallpox while collecting the pox, Huang Han proposed to give the 110 two children the pox vaccination immediately.

The three old apprentices thought it was right to do so, they collected the pox by themselves, and Huang Han gathered the four teenagers together to give them an injection one by one.
