Villager of Daming

Chapter 1204: Situation Understand the Prisoners Urgently

"We have caught a lot of snakes recently and raised them. We will put them in a breeding farm when we return. We will set up a breeding farm here. Snake gallbladders are useful."

The centurion, who made people grit their teeth, was not beheaded after all, but was fined. The serum is very precious, and there is no way to make it now, and animals are needed.

You really were careless and used the poison. You are asking for trouble. I will fine you three months' military pay and you will lose this year's bonus.

The centurion accepted the punishment willingly, otherwise he would have been beheaded. He knew how precious the life-saving medicine in Xiaqiu Village was. If he wasted it and someone didn't have it when they needed it, he would have killed someone.

So he stayed at the side and needed to observe, squeeze out the poisonous blood, or simply make a cross cut to let the blood out.

The head of the village didn't want everyone to focus on the damn centurion, so he talked about snake breeding.

The gallbladders of some venomous snakes are better than those of non-venomous ones, and other parts of venomous snakes can also be used as medicine. Non-venomous snakes... are of little value, unless you use their skins and eat their meat. In that case, you might as well raise pigs and eat pork!
Xiaqiu Village has a special venomous snake breeding farm, but it cannot supply the entire Ming Dynasty. It would be better to set up special breeding farms in various places.

The Dingliao Capital Guard must have one, and after the venomous snakes are farmed and processed, consider where to send them.

After dealing with the centurion, Ling'er was washing her hands. After hearing what the head of the village said, she offered a suggestion: "The farm should be equipped with other auxiliary facilities, such as a place to store anti-snake venom serum at low temperatures.

The northern region is most suitable because it is cold in winter and there is ice reserve. In summer, some heat-sensitive medicines can be stored in a constant temperature ice room where the temperature fluctuates little.

The Ming Dynasty divided the country into regions and captured all the local poisonous snakes and sent them to Yingtian Prefecture. Our village was responsible for preparing more targeted anti-snake venom serum.

There are only three types now, which are universal types: neurotoxin, blood toxin, and a mixture of the two.

But for some snakes, the versatility is not very good. You need a separate serum, and then you have to get the protein, which is difficult.

As we do this, we gain more experience, and then we find other people to teach them and take them to do it together. Every year, many people are killed by poisonous snakes."

She wanted to join forces to do things, but she was not skilled enough, she had studied for a short time, and had learned a lot of knowledge, so she couldn't grasp it all.

I will slowly accumulate experience in the future and then teach others. There is no other person in the Ming Dynasty who has contact with this aspect, so who can make anti-snake venom serum?
There are also life-saving things like rabies vaccines and tetanus shots, which are not in the same system as current medicine. Brother Hanhan teaches a different set of skills.

“Yes, there are many. It is very difficult to survive after being bitten by a venomous snake. It happens every year, regardless of where you are. However, there are more in the southwest and south, where there are more venomous snakes.

Most of the snakes in this place are non-venomous. After the soldiers caught them, they stored a lot of snake skins alone.

The craftsmen help them process it, and they don’t want the extra parts themselves. After deducting the processing fees, that’s their profit.

The department store gave us feedback that some people were willing to buy the soap, claiming it could cure snake venom. Isn’t that nonsense!

We asked department stores across the country to help collect data on the number of deaths from dog bites and poisonous snake bites.

We are also now administering smallpox vaccines, and asking the soldiers who have been assigned to the villages to find ways to collect the vaccines.

This was suggested by Brother Hanhan! Ask, people are sick, one, two, many, good to know, right, um! Hehehehe..."

Zhu Chong continued Ling'er's words and said that he was in charge of the department store, and Hanhan Ge gave advice that was very useful, so Hanhan Ge was not stupid, but when it came to arithmetic...

He was responsible for giving orders and asked the soldiers who went to the village to spread literacy to help as well. They would use whatever channel they could and then gather the results together.

"Then the army will carry a lot of medicine, which can not only save lives, but also allow soldiers to have no worries when they are injured."

Zhu Di now likes the nanny service in Xiaqiu Village, and he believes that all teams should enjoy the same service.

His father-in-law shook his head slightly. "It's difficult! How can someone who can heal be willing to follow the army? It doesn't make much money. When we went to war before, the people we brought were just so-so. It was good enough for them to help with the iron to burn the wound.

They didn't boil the cloth to wrap the wound, but just made a paste with some grass ash. Some of them brought medicine with them, but it was still a paste.

Just tear off a piece of cloth or even get a piece of dead horse skin and apply the medicine on the wound, then stick the skin on and tie it up with a rope.

After a war, many people are not killed directly on the battlefield, but die from injuries afterwards.

If any team can provide logistics like your team, especially in Xiaqiu Village, then…"

"General, we have actually enjoyed the services of Xiaqiu Village. Yes, services.

When we fought Wang Baobao, he had no way to deal with our weapons and logistics.

Thanks to the general's mastery of military tactics, we were able to defeat the Northern Yuan Dynasty and obtain the Imperial Seal. There were so many fakes, but only one real one."

Zhao Yao followed suit, he knew that if Xu Da responded to Tianfu and did not come back, he would be responsible for the affairs of the entire Peking Province.

Being responsible is different from being responsible. If Xiaqiu Village supports you, you can send a telegram and ask Xiaqiu Village what to do when something happens.

Of course, this telegram is sent to His Majesty. Just a note, His Majesty will help to talk to Xiaqiu Village.

If we build good relationships now, the results will be guaranteed to be different in the future whether Xiaqiu Village pays more or less attention to a place.

"Yichang! Our Minister Zhao is the one who supports Xiaqiu Village the most, so if there is anything in the future..."

Xu Da understood what his subordinate meant, and told the village head directly to solve the problem over the dinner table.

"Xiaqiu Village will certainly give its full support, and we are also looking forward to getting more good things to enjoy from the Beijing Province!"

The head of the village was telling the truth as if he was joking. What Hanhan said was that Beijing Province is such a large area with rich resources. Only by having someone you can trust working there can the overall resource reserves of the Ming Dynasty be improved.

Otherwise, some officials will pretend to obey but actually disobey. As Hanhan said, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. They deceive their superiors and conceal the truth from their subordinates, and they just won't do their job well for you.

Wang Anshi's reform was a failure because of the bad people he chose! They used the opportunity of the reform to deal with their political enemies, enrich themselves and cultivate their own personal power.

That kind of circle has affected the imperial power. In the end, even if the emperor was not replaced, the emperor who once supported the reform would find a reason to get rid of the ministers who formed a small circle.

Hence the saying "A gentleman is dignified but not quarrelsome, and he joins a group but does not form a party."

The main purpose is to save his life. If the ministers below unite, then it will be the end of him and he will have to fight.

Those in power take advantage of the fighting among their subordinates to consolidate their own position, whether it is a country or a company.

"What's the matter again? Just speak loudly next time. There are only a few of us."

Xu Da was listening to the assurance given by the head of the village and was feeling happy when he saw his communications soldier coming again, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"General, two captured Northern Yuan generals were brought here, and they are clamoring to see you." The communications soldier spoke.

"So fast?" Xu Da thought about the time of the action and the long distance the opponent had to run.
