Win the Ding 1617

With such hardware conditions and management system and hygienic habits, the epidemic can still spread and break out like this. It seems that the disease is coming fiercely this time.

Li Huamei and Li Huayu didn't dare to delay, they immediately put on the mask that had been fumigated with rice vinegar, and asked the officials who came to welcome them.

"Where is my father now? Can we go there?"

The family is father and son, and the affairs are monarch and minister.This is a rule of Shou Han in educating his children. As the eldest son and eldest daughter, the two of them naturally know this rule very well.

"The general should be in the meeting hall at this moment, discussing with the adults of various departments and yamen about the "insurgency" in Guangdong and Guangxi. A few days ago, I received an urgent report from Mr. Chen that an English merchant ship bombarded the Humen Fortress, attracting attention from the city of Guangdong Province and the surrounding city walls. Turmoil. At present, the land battalions and naval forces of the government troops from all over Guangdong are moving towards the Humen area to prevent the English from invading. This action is ready to move again! The bandit suppression forces everywhere suddenly seem stretched, and the general is considering whether to send more troops to Guangdong. The young lady and the young master can go back to the inner house first, and the general will naturally finish his business. Go back to the inner house."

After hearing this, the two of them naturally did not dare to neglect, and rushed back to the palace.The lintel of the palace is decorated with white gauze, and two huge white flowers are tied in the middle.

The weather has started to heat up, and the doors of the meeting hall and the deacons have been opened to allow the air to circulate and make the people in the room feel cooler.Through the gap in the door, the two siblings saw their father, Shou Han, sitting high on the high chair, and heard the people under him arguing about something enthusiastically.

The soldiers of the Guards Battalion and the soldiers of the Shou Han standing outside the meeting hall saw that it was Hua Mei and Hua Yu coming, although they didn't stop them, they didn't mean to let them into the meeting hall either.

"Eldest son, eldest miss, my lord has military orders. If Commander Xu, Chief Li Peiting Li, and Vice President Lin Wenbing come here, please come in and discuss matters immediately." [

Seeing that it was no joke, the two of them naturally wouldn't touch Li Shouhan at this time.

Along the corridors on both sides of the conference hall converted from the former Yin'an Hall.The siblings rushed into the inner house as if they were flying.

"Auntie! Auntie!"

After returning home, Li Huamei and Li Huayu immediately turned into two children again.

"Ouch! Two little ancestors!" He bumped into Yan Meier's confidant Mrs. Cai head-on.The old woman had already seen silver on her temples, but she was still energetic. She led a dozen maids and women out, and walked straight with Hua Mei.

"Grandma Cai!"

"Grandma Cai, I haven't seen you in two months, your old body is still so healthy!"

Li Huayu and Li Huamei were also half out of sincerity and half out of politeness.Fortunately, he bombarded Mrs. Cai with sweet talk.

There is no way out, the current Nanzhong General's Mansion can be regarded as a high-ranking family with a row of painted halberds and a row of hairpin tassels. Many rules and ostentations that did not exist before have been born.Servants and servants who hold a certain amount of power in their hands, even young masters like Li Huamei and Li Huayu, have to talk to each other and be courteous when they see each other.

"Grandma Cai, my brother and I came back from Tamna, and I didn't think of bringing you anything else. I just brought a few Korean ginseng from the King of Joseon, and a few boxes of pearls. You can take them to stew and drink to nourish your spirit." but."

"Yes, my sister said that pearls have more uses. It's a pity that I am stupid and have forgotten many uses."

The two siblings, who sang and played together, are like the storyteller in Suzhou Ping, who are elated by Mrs. Cai's words.

"Okay, my two young masters! You were brought up by the old woman alone! Don't you know that you are so careful? Well, it's all because of your kindness. When I bring something back, even if I bring a bundle of firewood, the old woman will feel warm in her heart! Let alone ginseng and pearls?!"

People carry people in flowery sedan chairs, and the old and mature Mrs. Cai also wants to return her full face to the two young masters.

"Grandma Cai, what happened in the mansion these days?"

Huamei asked Granny Cai for details about the white flowers hanging at the door.

"You go and prepare things according to Madam's wishes, and spread Madam's words everywhere." She dismissed the mother-in-law and the big girls beside her very majestically, Granny Cai looked around, and then turned to Huamei. Talk to Huayu sister and brother about the reason.

But it turned out that it was Li Huamei's younger brother, Li Huaxuan, and younger sister, Li Huaning, who unfortunately contracted the epidemic during the epidemic and died prematurely.

(Crack! A brick came over! "Let pig's feet die again! You have a grudge against pig's feet, don't you?!")

And slow down!

This is not modern, this is the 17th century!Don't you see, the famous Kang Qian Shengshi, Kang Xi and Yongzheng's sons are also everywhere?Those were the people who could enjoy the highest medical and health standards at that time, and their children died so young, so what about ordinary people?

In Europe after World War I, how many people died of a Spanish flu outbreak?Count in tens of millions!

In the Nanzhong region of this era, with the large-scale flow of population, a large influx of refugees without good medical and hygiene habits will inevitably cause epidemics and outbreaks.

After listening to Mrs. Cai's introduction, Hua Mei realized that the two white flowers at the door were for her younger brother Hua Xuan and younger sister Hua Ning, so she didn't talk for a while.

Mrs. Cai bowed to the two of them, "I still have some things to take care of, so I'm going to apologize to the two young masters."

"Ma'am, what's going on outside?"

At the family banquet set up to celebrate the triumphant return of Li Huamei, Li Huayu, Xu Huanshan and others, Li Huamei couldn't help asking A Niang Yanmeier with a cup of Nanhai Xianlu.

And because Xu Huanshan was Li Shouhan's earliest personal entourage and had a different status, he was also qualified and affectionate to participate in such a family banquet.Hearing Hua Mei's question, he also stopped drinking and just looked at Shou Han and his wife.

"Young Master, what is the cause of this epidemic? If you need money. "Medicine", you might as well pay for it from our harvest!"

"Mr. Wang Tingqi has already found out the type of the disease. It is a mixture of influenza and smallpox. Therefore, the number of patients and the death rate are very high. However, fortunately, it is mainly concentrated among the immigrants who have recently entered the scene. In addition Part of it is concentrated on the elderly and children. Uncle Fu recently fell ill due to "overwork"."

"Grandfather Fu also fell ill?!" Hearing that Uncle Fu, the highest seniority in the mansion, was also infected with the flu, the Huamei siblings couldn't help exclaiming.

"Mr. Wang went to see it. It shouldn't be a big problem. But I told you that wherever there are sick people, they should be fumigated with rice vinegar, and the sick people should rest and be isolated. Contact with outsiders should be temporarily avoided."

"Father, why is it that these refugees are the cause of every epidemic?"

Li Huamei discovered a regularity problem.

"Alas!" Yan Meier, who was regarded as a loving mother by all parts of the South China Army and presided over the South China Army's medical care, charity and other affairs, let out a long sigh, "Ah, you will find out when you go to the refugee resettlement with your mother tomorrow."

"My lord, Huayu is back, why don't you let Huayu go with his sister to see him tomorrow."

Li Muhua hurriedly fought for such an opportunity for his son.

Shou Han glanced at Li Muhua, but didn't say anything.Just go and discuss with Xu Huanshan how to use the current islands to develop the strategic concept of the South China Army.

Behind the wooden fence is a huge empty field, covering an extremely wide area, which has been hardened with amalgam and burnt ash, and it can accommodate ten thousand people without any problem.

At this time in this open space.Standing or standing, or lying down or lying down, the dark crowd is full of refugees speaking various accents from Guangdong, Guangxi, Guiliu dialect, Hakka dialect, Cantonese dialect, and Chaoshan dialect, all mixed together.People follow their own accents and dialects.Consciously formed small groups one by one.Beside everyone, there are all kinds of luggage and equipment. Of course, most of them are tattered bedding, personal clothes, pots and pans, etc. In Hua Mei's eyes, even if they are thrown on the ground, no one will pick them up.

Surrounding the edge of the open space, there are some officers and soldiers in the interior who are strong enough to serve as family servants. They wear bamboo hats, narrow-sleeved and button-down uniforms of the South China Army, and a palm-wide buffalo leather belt around their waists. , the brass belt buckle on it is polished and shiny, and there is an armband with yellow letters on a red background on his left arm. "law enforcement!"

They held short sticks in their hands, and French ropes were hung on buffalo belts around their waists to prevent people from making noise and maintain order.Judging from the weird accents they speak in Chinese and their facial features that are somewhat different from those of the Han people, it can be concluded that most of these law enforcement officers are affiliated people from Siam and Miaoyaoxidong.

These people who have lived an unprecedentedly good life after being attached, almost every family has enshrined the longevity tablets of Shouhan and Yanmeier. , is the one who brought them all this.

With the opening of the wooden gate, a group of new immigrants poured in from the outside, filling the vacant part of the empty field to the brim.

"Okay! Dinner is about to start today! Don't be crowded! Stand according to your respective formations! Whichever team finishes queuing up first can go to eat first! Porridge and rice are available!"

Hearing that dinner was about to start, the crowd immediately started to commotion. According to the establishment of one hundred households per team, they began to line up in a mess. For a while, men shouted, women scolded, and children cried. , rendering the sky above the resettlement site more and more chaotic and noisy.

The team barely stood up, and people smelled the fragrance of porridge and rice in the air, feeling more and more hungry, looking forward to eating and drinking porridge right away.

Li Huamei, who was wearing an old cotton dress borrowed from a servant in the mansion, watched the people around intently, trying to understand their stories from every face of them.The guards beside her were also dressed in casual clothes, with short guns hidden in their waists and sharp knives in their pockets.There was a thunderous sound from the belly of a man not far away, he bit his lower lip, feeling sad all the way, the family was suffering from hunger and cold.Right now, wars are raging everywhere in Guangdong and Guangxi, and almost everyone is saying that only Nanzhong is a paradise where everyone has work to do and food to eat.He hopes that in the future, with his own hands, his family can live a life of worrying about food and clothing.

"Dangdangdang."

A gong sounded, and then the crowd in the open space surged and made noise again. A law enforcement leader stood on a high place and shouted loudly: "It's time for dinner! The teams followed the guides in order and entered the restaurant in an orderly manner. One canteen was full. Follow the guide into the next dining hall."

"Personally carry large items, put them back where they are and are not allowed to bring them into the dining hall. Our office is responsible for keeping them safe, and they will not be lost..."

Dozens of strong and ferocious law enforcement officers rushed forward with short sticks in their hands.For some young and strong refugees who wanted to squeeze to the front, they were beaten straight away without any politeness, and the sticks only aimed at the rough skin and thick flesh on their bodies.They were beaten until they rolled to the ground and begged for mercy, not daring to squeeze any more.

Li Huamei followed the crowd into the dining hall, the dining hall in front of her.It is built with bamboo and wood as the skeleton, covered with straw, and the ground is also paved with bamboo split into two to isolate the moisture on the ground.The whole dining hall looks huge and simple, but spacious and bright.There are long tables and bamboo stools, looking around.Spreading to both sides, I'm afraid there are as many as two or three hundred sheets.

At this time, every table was full of people, and they gathered roughly by household.It was densely packed with ragged heads.

Suddenly entering such a clean and tidy environment, everyone was a little anxious, and they all sat still and dared not move.

"Everyone sit down, don't 'walk' around and 'move' around! Violators, the whole table will be kicked out! Porridge and side dishes will be brought up one by one and divided according to the table, so don't worry about not being able to get a share..."

In the dining hall, there are law enforcement shouting back and forth, preaching the discipline of eating.At the same time, there are groups of native coolies carrying wooden vats.It is full of rice porridge, bowls and chopsticks, etc.The tables were divided, and the aroma of porridge and vegetables made many refugees fidget. Many people even tried their best to look in the direction of the native coolies who were distributing food and bowls and chopsticks.

Finally, it was their turn. The two coolies who carried the bowls and chopsticks counted their number. There were eight people at this table, and a large bowl was placed on their table, along with chopsticks.Even a three-foot child is given a sea bowl the same size as an adult.

There was also a plate with a big face in the middle of the table.

Afterwards, among those who carried the porridge, a big spoon scooped up the hot thick rice porridge and poured them into sea bowls, and a big spoonful of side dishes was also poured into the face-like bowl.

Everyone didn't care about what to say, just picked up the sea bowl like Fei Ye, didn't care about the rice porridge burning their mouths, they sucked the rice porridge, and swallowed it in their mouths.

And Huamei still habitually looked around with the bowl, planning to find a place to wash her hands before eating.

"Second sister, don't look for it, let's eat first!"

A guard reminded Huamei that here is not the mansion, and there are not so many sinks.Even if there were, I didn't see anyone washing their hands in the sinks outside.

Washing hands before meals is almost a joke at this time.

"Eat slowly! You are reincarnated from starvation!"

A "woman" who was at the same table with Hua Mei reprimanded her daughter, she said this, but she was really sad in her heart, how long has it been since her child had eaten something so delicious?

No one spoke in the canteen, only the sound of drinking porridge like an overwhelming sea. The refugees had been hungry for a long time, and most of them were gobbling it up. Fortunately, they only drank porridge, and it was just a big bowl. If they ate, many people might feel bloated. die.

"The rice porridge is thick and not pourable, and there are pickles. It seems that these guys don't dare to embezzle much of the daily rations allocated to immigrants."

Hua Mei took small sips of rice porridge, but she thought of the storm that happened not long ago, and couldn't help thinking about whether these guys were corrupt.

"Sister, this porridge is free, hurry up, drink more, unfortunately there is only one bowl.

The "woman" finished urging her daughter to drink the porridge, three mouthfuls and two mouthfuls, drank up the porridge in her own bowl, smiled, and greeted Li Huamei who was sitting on the stool beside her.Look at this girl, she must have come from a rich family, she is not willing to gulp down this porridge, it is all made of high-quality white rice, even in peacetime, it is impossible for every family to cook porridge with white rice every day.

"I have a bad appetite, I can't drink it."

Hua Mei was polite, and put the bamboo chopsticks in her hand on the sea bowl.

"If you refuse to drink, then I will drink it for you!"

The "woman" was also quick to move, before Hua Mei could speak, she immediately snatched the sea bowl in front of Hua Mei's eyes, and poured the rest of the bowl of porridge into her own and her daughter's bowls, along with using her tongue "Licked" a few rice grains on the bottom of the bowl.

Seeing such a scene, Hua Mei couldn't help but feel disgusted in her chest and abdomen, and she almost vomited.

. . . . . .

"Those who have eaten, all go this way, take a bath, get clothes, men left and women right... each enters its own bathhouse..."

The same law-enforcement chief shouted from a brass-skinned trumpet before the line of people standing outside the cafeteria.

Behind the corner of the crowd, there was another sound of sticks hitting flesh and screams.But it was a green-skinned young man among the refugees, he looked at him so that everyone didn't pay attention, he found a corner and opened his pants to defecate there, and was bumped by a group of law enforcement.

Everyone's heart trembled, and many people resisted the urge to urinate in their crotches, and looked around to find the place where the five grains reincarnated.

Across the large open space in front of you, a river flowed not far away, and there were several steaming big houses near the river, which seemed to be the big bathhouse that the law enforcement leader said.

And here, some doctors and doctors who covered their faces with a white cotton cloth and hung their heads with two thin ropes watched them carefully.

There was a table next to it, and some coolie helpers who were also covered with white brocade cloth carefully inspected the clothes and bedding they were carrying.And in a warehouse-like warehouse at the back, huge cloth bags were piled up one after another, which were full of men's and women's clothes and bedding of different sizes and models, distributed by different men and women.

Packages and quilts were opened one by one, piles of clothes and quilts were checked, and a few clean clothes were removed.There is also a set of clothes on the body. Most of the clothes and bedding of the refugees are like garbage, taken away by the helpers whose faces are covered with white cloth.

Put them into the car in piles, and then cross the bridge, everyone saw black smoke billowing there, as if they were burning these clothes and bedding.

When everyone saw it, there was an uproar immediately.
