In fact, each of the rules of disaster relief and epidemic prevention was concise and comprehensive. Ning Yi explained them one by one, pointing out the key points and the secondary points. Elder Qin and Elder Kang just listened, whispering a few words and nodding occasionally. Among the four servants who came with Kang Xian, the two male attendants like Lu Agui were also knowledgeable. At this time, they listened at the back and occasionally glanced at Ning Yi.
After that, Elder Qin and Elder Kang asked about some of the things they didn't understand. In fact, it was mainly about hygiene. In this era, there were not many habits of hygiene, and it was impossible to teach people about hygiene in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Although there were theories about the invasion of external evil, traditional Chinese medicine mainly talked about the five elements and nourishing Qi, and there was not much evidence on these things. They might have a certain understanding that it was easy to get sick in places that were too dirty, but in the context of disaster relief, obviously not too many people would care about hygiene.
There was no way to explain these problems from the perspective of bacteria. At this time, they could only roughly talk about some theories about the invasion of external evil. The infection of human bodies proved that many dead things carried pathogenic substances, such as mice were very dirty and caused plague.
"… In other aspects, once a disaster occurs, the whole area will easily become unruly, and without rules, it will be more difficult to manage. Selecting managers from among them, arranging a unified place to live, eat and drink, and go to the toilet in the same place, it will easily give them a simple sense of restraint and belonging, making them feel that someone is thinking about them, and they will feel at ease. But in fact, the bottom management is selected from among them, and the effort is definitely not as much as when it is really chaotic. As long as there is food, it can make people feel at ease. The shacks are neat, the passages are neat, and the surroundings are clean. This can give more hints and guidance.
"You can't just use high pressure to restrain them. It's best to make the best use of the situation. Moreover, they have time now, and the more idle they are, the more anxious they will be to cause trouble. Arrange things level by level, such as leveling the surrounding ground, building unified shacks, and unified toilets. Only when everything is unified can they not fight for it. Otherwise, even if they have two bowls of porridge every day, they will think of robbing others if they can't eat their fill. Kill those who make trouble and break the rules, don't be lenient.
"Poor hygiene can lead to illness. Doctors know a little about it, but let's not talk about how much of it is because of this. However, it is still one of the factors. We brought the lime over and let them sprinkle it around. This is also giving them something to do. Repeatedly emphasize that poor hygiene will cause you to get sick … Because medicine may not be able to solve the problem immediately, but hygiene is something that can be solved on hand. You have to put on a show, just like telling them that you won't get sick if you do this. The more effective the promotion, the more confident they will be after they achieve it. They will be more cheerful and less worried. In fact, the possibility of getting sick will also be reduced. "
"For example, there's a dead rat in front of us. We don't do enough publicity. If someone sees it and ignores it, they might not feel anything. If we spread the news, this person will see it and immediately report it to the higher-ups. The doctor will come to clean it up, burn it, and bury it. Once we put on a show, it will easily give people confidence. At least we know that when rats, snakes, and insects die and rot, it's the same as when people die and rot. It's definitely a cause of illness. On the other hand, if the patients are quarantined, it won't cause widespread panic. Doctors also have to be more responsible and let people see it and feel at ease. Even if a small number of people are worried because their families are quarantined, once the illness spreads, it will be the scariest. It can't be stopped, so the quarantine must be strong … "
As for hygiene and the like, for the time being, he could only explain the reasons from other aspects. After all, there was only so much he could do. If there was a long time, with Ning Yi's style, he could probably make a detailed case study that could scare the ancients to death to prove the importance of hygiene. Even if he faked it, no one would be able to find out. But now, after all, the disaster after the flood was imminent, there was no need to take it slow.
After listening to him, Elder Kang sighed and threw the Wu dynasty disaster relief regulations in his hand to Lu Agui. "With Liheng's booklet, the rest can be thrown away. One chapter, one law, one link. It's just about the issue of latrines, but it actually takes into account people's hearts, management, hygiene, and restrictions … Look at this handwriting, Liheng actually rushed out last night? "
"These days, the two of you have often talked about this. In school, you also talked about it with a group of children. Occasionally, you also discussed it with others. So last night, you summed it up and thought it might be useful."
"It's more than useful." Kang Xian shook his head. "Let's not talk about other things. Just the method of statistics in preparation for review, as long as it can be carried out this time, the loss of disaster relief can be reduced by more than 30%. This article by Liheng is a policy to benefit the people. Once this policy is out, Liheng will really be famous all over the world."
"This is what I'm really worried about." Ning Yi smiled. "If it can really be useful, Elder Qin can send it to Brother Shaohe, or Duke Ming can send it to people who can use it. I only have one request. Don't reveal that I wrote it. This is not a refusal. Please understand that I said this very seriously. "
The last time Ning Yi said this was also to show his determination not to become an official. However, the nature of this time was completely different from the last time. After listening to him, Elder Qin and Elder Kang really became serious. Elder Qin pondered for a while. "Why is it like this? Even Liheng wants to stay out of such a big matter?"
Elder Kang thought for a while, then looked at Ning Yi and said in a low voice, "Could it be that Liheng is really disheartened about the affairs of the world and the court? Some dissatisfaction? "
This sentence could be said to be big or small, but it was obvious that the old man in front of them didn't have any evil intentions. Right now, he was just making a possible inference. Ning Yi shook his head. "It's just that I don't like those schemes. This one … likes to be carefree. I don't want to bow and scrape and plot against my colleagues …" He pointed at the booklet. "I've already taken this out. Could it be that the two of you can't even agree to this little request of mine?"
Kang Xian and Elder Qin probably still had a lot to say, but this sentence blocked their way. Elder Qin sighed. "Liheng, oh Liheng, you … really make people have complicated feelings. It was fine before, but now that this booklet has been taken out, you don't want to come out and do anything. This old man really doesn't know whether to be happy or sad … "
"I'm still an ordinary person. Occasionally, I have some whimsical ideas. If it's useful, I take it out. How about the two of you treat me as an armchair strategist, Zhao Kuo? I have high ambitions but low ability. If I give advice, others can do it. If I do it myself, the other side may not be able to do it well. At this time, hiding my ability is a self-aware move … Oh, in fact, it's not that I don't have selfish desires. In fact, I also have a request. Yesterday, I also said that if it's useful, I'll give Elder Qin two things. This is the first. "
Elder Qin and Elder Kang looked at each other. "What's the second thing?"
Ning Yi paused. "A daughter."
"Hmm?"
"Actually … at the moment, it's just an idea of mine. I haven't told the other side yet. It's normal for Elder Qin to refuse. In fact, the two of you have met this woman. She's Nie Yunzhu, who sells century eggs. Perhaps it's a little disrespectful, but she used to be a performer in the Golden Wind Restaurant. I got to know her because one morning when I was exercising, I met her killing a chicken. Elder Qin also knows about this … "
Qin Siyuan was a contemporary Confucian scholar. He used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. It might be quite taboo for him to accept a former geisha as his adopted daughter. Ning Yi was not ignorant, but at this time, he continued to talk about some things about Nie Yunzhu.
"… After she left the brothel, she no longer associated with the people she used to know. She didn't know how to live, so she went to learn. She didn't know how to kill a chicken, but she could grit her teeth and learn it in the market. Later, to prove that she could support herself like an ordinary person, she even prepared to sell pancakes. These are the things that I find very admirable. That's why I taught her how to make century eggs. Later, I also came up with some plans. But now that we've reached a certain scale, the level of things we'll come into contact with is different from before. There might not be much I can help directly … "
"Duke Ming should understand these things better. In the future … if there are any big shots or officials who make things difficult for her, if she can have a little background, she may be able to go better. Of course, it's just business. I can guarantee that she won't use the name of Elder Qin to swindle and act domineeringly. It's also not good to let Elder Qin personally accept her as his adopted daughter. I'm thinking if I should let Concubine Yun show up. Seeing that she is clean and honest, I can recognize her as my adopted daughter. She is the daughter of an official family, and in terms of etiquette … "
He said these words cautiously. Before he finished speaking, Elder Qin smiled and waved his hand over there, "Liheng is really too cautious. You and I have known each other for more than a year. Am I, Qin Siyuan, such a snobbish secular person in your eyes?"
"Identity is sometimes not something that one wants to choose, but in the eyes of secular people, one has to consider it many times."
Qin Siyuan shook his head, "I've heard about this Nie Yunzhu from Liheng several times before. In the past, I felt that she was extraordinary. Now I know that she is such a clean and honest woman with a noble temperament. There's nothing humble about her. Liheng can speak for a good friend and let Yunniang accept her as her adopted daughter. That's too neglectful. I should personally accept her as my daughter and treat her like my own. Ning Heng doesn't have to worry that I will treat her badly. Her two brothers will also be happy to have such a sister. "
Kang Xian watched from the side, "After listening to Liheng's words, this old man is also moved. Such a noble and hardworking woman should have a good identity. Why not let this old man accept her as my adopted daughter? This old man will not treat her badly. Moreover, Liheng just mentioned business. As long as she accepts me, Kang Xian, as her adoptive father, I can guarantee that no one in Jiangning will dare to provoke her. Isn't this better? "
Ning Yi smiled and bowed to him, "I've written about Duke Ming's good intentions. But if Duke Ming accepts her as his daughter, won't she become a Junzhu? I'm afraid this identity will really cause trouble for Duke Ming … "
*****
The sky was nearing dusk. Elder Kang sat in a sedan chair and left the Qinhuai River. In the afternoon, they talked for a while about accepting Nie Yunzhu as their adopted daughter. Then, they asked Lu Agui to bring a brush and ink to make a copy of the disaster relief booklet. They discussed it for a while and then parted ways.
Becoming a backer, taking in an adopted daughter, this matter seemed to be a sensitive one, but it could not be said to be a very big deal. Right now, Kang Xian's mind was filled with the matter related to this booklet. Sitting on the sedan chair, he read through it again and called Lu Agui over.
"Ah Gui, what do you think of this booklet and this Ning Liheng …?"
The other side pondered for a long time before speaking.

The next chapter was still around two o 'clock in the morning.
