Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 1115 Hill District ([-])

Shao Yuanyi did not know how many times he had come to Luohan Town deep in the hills.This place, which is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Camaquan River, has a large area of ​​wild orange groves, which takes up more than one-third of his working time. Village health workers (commonly known as resident doctors) in various townships attended classes, and after a few years, their legs were running thinner - all walking on mountain roads.

Of course, with the completion of the dredging and widening project of the middle reaches of the Kamakuang River, which was funded by the Regional Administrative Office and aided by Xihu County, the shipping conditions in the middle reaches of the river have been greatly improved. Undoubtedly, the transportation level of Luohan County has been greatly improved, so that a large amount of agricultural products (mainly fruits) in the county can be transported through the river to the lower reaches of Xihu County, Ping'an County, Zhenhai County, Shenwu County and other places with stronger consumption capacity, which is very important for improving the local The income of residents is of great significance.

Thanks to the dredging of the river, this time when Shao Yuanyi went to Luohan Town for medical inspection, he took a boat that transported groceries to Luohan Town Wharf.This ship is a 72-ton small steamer bought by private individuals, which belongs to the old ships eliminated by the state-owned inland water transport company (the company has now begun to gradually increase the inland water transport ships with larger tonnage, such as 150-ton ships) , At present, the transportation between five towns in the middle and lower reaches of the Kamaquan River is running, and the benefits are not bad.

When the ship departed from Dafeng Port, it loaded a lot of agricultural machinery accessories, biscuits, and refined flour. When it arrived at Mucaoling Township, it loaded some bacon, and it loaded some cheese and butter at Hongxing Farm. Packed some cheap spirits brewed in the countryside, and took more than a dozen villagers to the county town along the way, it can be said that the cabin was used to the extreme - when sailing along the way, Shao Yuanyi saw that the river almost overflowed the side of the boat many times, which made him While doubting whether the ship would sink, he kept scolding the boss of the black-hearted ship who disregarded safety for the sake of making money.

Fortunately, his luck was not bad, and the ship finally arrived safely at the terminal - Luohan Town Wharf.At this time, it was already daylight, and there were already vendors or restaurants selling breakfast in twos and threes on the wharf. What they sold were nothing more than cooking cakes, deep-fried dough sticks, wontons, glutinous rice balls, tofu nao and other foods. The taste was not bad, so Shao Yuanyi decided to spend a few cents Qian invited the whole class to sit around and have a hot breakfast.

After breakfast and rest for a while, the sky is already bright.The only steam boom on the wharf has already started to work "chug". Baskets of fruit, bags of wheat, and pieces of wood (dried and cut) are hoisted to the simple wharf. on a ship.Beside this ship, there were five or six ships waiting in line for unloading or loading. Some ship bosses who couldn't wait went ashore first and squatted under the tree by the pier to play mahjong.

The vicinity of the wharf is actually the core area of ​​Luohan Town and even Luohan County. It has the densest population and the most wealthy households in the county, and the business is naturally the most prosperous. Of course, in the eyes of someone who has seen the world like Shao Yuanyi, The pier business that Luohan locals are proud of is naturally incomparable with the big cities outside, but he doesn't know how to see these country bumpkins.

There was a ringing bell not far away, and the young man who was washing a pony immediately put down the bucket and brush, and ran to a pile of firewood that was still emitting a few wisps of smoke in a panic. The shovel poked open a pile of embers, then picked up two sweet potatoes buried in the soil, and hurried away.

"The baby is going to school." The owner of the benign restaurant served a plate of peanuts to everyone. The peanuts were plump, and they were obviously imported high-quality South African peanuts.

"Right now, I'm only ringing the bell for the first time. If you ring the bell for the second time later, if you haven't arrived at the school, Mr. Xi may be fined to stand." The boss continued to laugh, but then he seemed to think of something He sighed, and said: "It's a pity that this baby is not suitable for studying, and a zero score is not a test once or twice. Seeing that I can't read, I wanted to bring the baby back several times to help me. The masters of the school rejected it. They said that my baby must at least finish elementary school. It is always good to learn more characters. In the future, it is also a way out to learn to repair agricultural machinery and so on. I thought about this That's right, let him hang around in the school first, and spend some money to pay him a master next year, and learn how to fix that horse-drawn harvester, so he won't have nothing to eat in the future."

"This is a good way." Shao Yuanyi nodded in approval.

The fact is that on today's east coast, agriculture is still the largest industry in the country after all, and it is also the industry that absorbs the largest number of employed people. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the country's top priority.Now that the order of agricultural production has been developing steadily for more than 20 years, agricultural machinery such as animal-powered harvesters (generally horse-drawn harvesters), threshers, and steam plows have begun to be widely used in rural areas. As a result, agricultural machinery rental companies, Small and micro enterprises such as agricultural machinery accessories workshops and agricultural machinery repair workshops have sprung up in rural areas all over the country, gradually forming a huge industrial chain of agriculture together with seed companies, agricultural product processing factories (which also sell bean cakes and other fertilizers) and other enterprises. an integral part of the.

The owner of the small restaurant wants to let himself, a child who has no hope of studying, learn from a teacher and learn how to repair all kinds of agricultural machinery. He has indeed spotted this trend. For a long time, with the increasing number of domestic population, the increasing number of newly reclaimed land and the increasingly close connection with the international food market, the agricultural machinery repair industry will not decline no matter what, and there will always be a mouthful of food.

After breakfast, the restaurant owner generously filled everyone's water bladders with steaming hot noodle soup.After thanking the boss, everyone quickly walked to the township government - which is next to the township central primary school.

The township head that Shao Yuanyi knew before had already been promoted to deputy county head. At this time, the new mayor came from the Dayuhe Youth Cadre School and had worked in a village in Ping'an County for many years. , the future is extremely bright.And he himself was very grateful to Shao Yuanyi for coming to the town again to train grassroots health workers for everyone, and he kept saying that he would invite everyone to a banquet, but it was a pity that the town's finances were still not well-off after a few years, so this matter could only be embarrassing give up.

Fortunately, Shao Yuanyi didn't care too much. He now gives lectures to everyone in the morning, and sits in an outpatient clinic outside the township government compound in the afternoon. Together with several doctors in the township, he treats everyone. Of course, the fees are very low, and the money will be used to maintain primary medical care health care above.

The way Shao Yuanyi sees a doctor is an eye-opener for some doctors in the town who were transferred from the apprentices of the Daming Pharmacy. For example, he would stick some strange tubular objects (simple stethoscopes, made of rubber tubes) to the patient's chest to listen to the sound of the heartbeat. To judge whether the patient's heart has problems; for example, he will put some rubber leather sheaths on the patient's arms, and then inflate the rubber sheaths to make them expand and block the branch arterial circulation and then listen to the pulse sound. It’s for measuring blood pressure—in the health care standards promulgated by the Ministry of Health at the beginning of this year, it was clearly pointed out that blood pressure measurement is one of the important standards—of course, it’s only popular in big cities at present, as for the remote interior of Luohan County Naturally, it is impossible to hear about the villages and towns in the hilly area.That is to say, a local tyrant like Shao Yuanyi went to Ping'an County to buy a complete set of new medical equipment at his own expense, so that he had the opportunity to open the eyes of these country bumpkins.

Shao Yuanyi even vaguely heard that the group of people from the Medical Institute of the Academy of Natural Sciences is still working on an interesting thing with the Dayuhe Medical College.That thing is said to be very complicated, and it is still in the research stage. It is basically a device, an electric meter and several buckets. It is said that it can measure the conduction current when the patient's heart beats.Because they believe that every time the heart beats, there is a current from the right heart across the left heart, and once the heart muscle is damaged, this current will disappear, so they are eager to measure this current to determine the extent of myocardial damage .

According to unreliable information, when using this device to measure myocardial current, the patient needs to put all his limbs in the water, and the operation is extremely complicated.But at present, the electricity meters on the east coast are extremely low in sensitivity, and their accuracy and reliability are very low. They are completely unable to keep up with the genius ideas of scientists. Therefore, the research and development process can only be temporarily stagnated. can't be solved -- but that certainly doesn't detract from the groundbreaking method of measuring a patient's heart muscle.

Of course, Shao Yuanyi can't afford this kind of equipment—not to mention that this kind of equipment can't be successfully developed in a short time—but as a medical equipment enthusiast, he still likes to collect and play with some novel medical equipment to satisfy his needs. A strong curiosity to explore the mysteries of the human body.

After seeing and treating dozens of patients for several days in a row, on December 12—the last day of 31—Shao ​​Yuanyi was finally ready to call it a day and go home.Before leaving, he carefully instructed his students to carefully pack all kinds of instruments and medicines into different categories, and prepare to stuff them into the luggage and transport them home first.As for him himself, it is said that he will stay here for more than a week to meet well-known figures in the county and get in touch with him, so as to provide help for developing business here in the future.

What?What kind of business do you think Dr. Shao wants to carry out here?Please, please inquire about Dr. Shao's identity. He is also a "village banker", a partner of Mucaoling Meat Products Factory, and an extracurricular counselor of Mucaoling Township Central Primary School. He came to Luohan County to start business. What's so strange?
