Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 343 Gall Disease
The dairy industry is a good economic growth point for areas dominated by animal husbandry and irrigated agriculture.

Especially for places with insufficient water sources, chickens, ducks and geese need to be fed with grains and bran. Although pigs can cut pig grass, they also need to supplement certain grains. Only cattle and sheep eat grass. What comes out is milk.

Its low-cost and continuous profit model is comparable to a "chicken butt bank".

As for the time cost required for grazing and reprocessing?

What rich people pay attention to is "an inch of time and an inch of gold". For the poor, time can be exchanged for a bowl of bitter medicine soup for the elderly, a piece of caramel for a child, a pair of sturdy shoes for a coolie man, and a woman's time for sewing. A little brighter light will make the time well spent.

The stakes in this can be figured out after a little thought.

Even after Song Nian's dinner, half of his head was filled with wine, and half of his head was tangled up with all kinds of information obtained from the meal, he still tried to leave some space to think about this matter.

And realize that it can be done.

However, no matter how feasible it is, there is no way to rush it. At least in the past few months, his task is to let the people plant potatoes steadily, and the second is to allocate as much money as possible from the county government's finances to repair the city wall.

Neither of these two things can be done. When he sleeps, he has to keep one eye open and pay attention to the movements inside and outside the mansion.

This is exactly what Song Yun wanted. Don't look at her drawing big cakes, but she hasn't verified how practical it is.

It just so happens that Song Yun can try to make it at home while Song Nian is doing other things. This is not just about making delicious food, but also trying to streamline the process and make the quality standard controllable.

On this basis, it is also necessary to facilitate transportation and storage, otherwise, even if you make delicious delicacies, you can only earn money from the local people, and the economy will not survive at all.

Song Nian has a lot of ambitions here, but he can only write them down in a small notebook silently, and wait for the future to do it; Song Jun has ideas one after another, but how to implement them is still a question mark; , quickly shrunk the savings I brought with me——

She bought the shop and the land.

Naturally, these purchases were counted into her dowry, and part of it was counted into Mrs. Song's dowry in order to avoid the imbalance between mother-in-law and mother-in-law.

Therefore, as the days get richer and richer, the pockets of the women in the family are getting bigger and bigger, but the men, except that they are their ancestral property in name, only have the monthly pocket money left to receive.

As mentioned earlier, in the true sense of Qinxi County, there is only one main street, and only on this street, can you make some money by opening a shop and doing business, otherwise the income may not be worth the cost of the rent.

But as the county magistrate's wife, Shen still believed in Song Nian's ability. When she heard that a family on the street wanted to sell their shop and return to their hometown in the countryside, she happily took over.

He didn't even dare to lower the price, for fear of losing the watermelon for this little sesame.

This shop is bought, and I haven't decided what kind of business to do for the time being. The main reason is that there are too many things recently, and I can't spare enough manpower to manage a stall.

Moreover, the decoration of the previous shop was very old, and there was a lot of dust in the corners, so it had to be dealt with slowly.

At this time, Shen Cheng and Tian Man, who followed the Tian family brothers to the countryside, had rough skin and finally came back with large and small bags of herbs that gave off a strange smell.

Hardship is very tough, as can be seen from their skinny and darkened appearance.But plenty is also true.

In fact, today's common people have more or less minor ailments, most of which are caused by malnutrition.

For this part of the disease, no doctor can do anything. They can only say "try to eat as much as possible, eat more eggs and more meaty", which seems to be painless.

The rest were illnesses caused by inadequate heat preservation measures, such as lung disease, joint disease, chilblains, etc. These gave Shen Cheng room to develop.

But that alone was not enough to make them feel satisfied. What really made them feel worthwhile was another disease that was more common in Qinxi County—gall disease.

When Song Yun first heard the name of the disease, it was indeed in the fog. When he heard the description of the symptoms, he felt like goiter, commonly known as big neck disease.

Song Yun vaguely remembered that the disease had something to do with the invention of iodized salt.

She flipped through the biology textbook in the space overnight, and found this passage:

Big neck disease, also known as endemic goiter, is caused by endemic iodine deficiency and hyperplasia of thyroid cells...Iodine is the raw material for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, which mainly regulate human metabolism and promote human growth and development.

Sure enough, considering that most of the foods with high iodine content are seafood, and there are no sea areas in the entire northwest region, it is understandable that the local people lack iodine in their bodies.

Come on, this is another problem that urgently needs to be solved by parents.

After all, iodine deficiency not only causes the neck to look unsightly, but also affects the development and metabolism of the human body.

The best way is to grind iodine-containing food into powder and add it to the salt that everyone must buy for intake.

But there is another problem. Salt administration is something that cannot be easily touched. Who knows that you are only considering the health of the people, and it will be twisted into what it means by others?

But it is difficult to trust people to directly ask people with symptoms to buy kelp and seaweed.

And the official approach is easy to attract criticism.

In the end, it is still necessary to let a professional take charge of this matter, that is, a doctor.

Coincidentally, Shen Cheng and his wife lived in a village before and helped the local people see a lot of diseases. They already have a basic level of trust, so let them make another trip to advance the process of gall disease treatment.

After what they do has a certain effect, the officials will come forward to advocate that the people eat more seafood such as kelp and seaweed.

Of course, there is actually a problem with this, that is, people don’t eat seafood because they don’t want to eat it?
No, it's because they can't afford it.

So even if they believe it, there are still a few who really have the money to buy it.After all, compared to starving to death and freezing to death, they are still willing to endure it if they just have a big neck disease.

Therefore, going round and round is still back to economic development.

Sure enough, economic development is the primary productive force.

To improve the health of the people, to strengthen border defense, to reduce the illiteracy rate, to improve the happiness index of the people...

All kinds of things, the foothold is one word - money.

With such a heavy burden and determination, Song Nian changed his original work plan:
He originally wanted to meet the scholars in the city, express his importance and appeasement to the elite, and show his determination to attach importance to culture and education.

But at this moment, he thought, it is better to go to the countryside to visit before the spring plowing begins.

I also brought along a few children who hadn’t experienced much poverty in the family—including the Tian brothers. Although they have always lived in the village, Liyang County itself is relatively rich, and the Tian family’s family is not bad. Nor have they experienced much.

Then let's go and have a look together.

　After I started writing novels, I admired more and more those masters who set up a complete world view and wrote without chaos. Like me, there is only one main line. When I write, I feel that there are too many things to explain and I don’t know. Which one should I write...
