The backyard of the Lin Family Inn was very large. Zhou Qingfeng built a simple shed there. It was supported by dozens of pillars and enclosed by walls. The interior was temporarily turned into a medical center. The person who built this place was a hired carpenter. He had a deep forehead and an old face. He looked honest and honest, and his craftsmanship was very solid.
For a rapidly expanding faction, a good medical center was a great weapon to increase their reputation, prestige, and unity. Therefore, in the absence of doctors and nurses, Zhou Qingfeng decided to invest in this simple shed.
There were 50 wooden beds of different styles and many tables, chairs, and cabinets in the shed. They were all furniture obtained from raiding houses not long ago. There were a few stoves burning in the shed, and the chimney was ventilating through the roof of the shed. In the corner of the shed, there were a few large pots, in which a few old medical instruments such as syringes and needles were cooking.
Zhou Qingfeng was very satisfied with the construction speed of this hospital. The carpenter who was in charge of the work was standing at the side. He grabbed the carpenter's hand and thanked him, "Sir, your craftsmanship is excellent. You are also very good at teaching. I, Zhou Qingfeng, will not mistreat you. I will take five taels of silver from the account later. "
Hearing that he could get five taels of silver, the old carpenter did not accept it calmly. Instead, he waved his hand and shouted, "That's too much, too much. Boss, you are giving too much. One … one tael is enough. "
"Hahaha …" Zhou Qingfeng could not take back what he had said. He hoped that his reputation for generosity would spread and attract more skilled craftsmen to work under him. He continued to hold the carpenter's hand and asked, "Sir, what is your name?"
"My surname is Sang, Sang Youshen."
"Oh, how old are you?"
"Forty-six."
What? Zhou Qingfeng looked at the carpenter's rough and wrinkled hands and old face. He thought to himself, "Sir, are you sure you are not sixty-four?"
"Hahaha …" Zhou Qingfeng laughed awkwardly and continued to praise him, "Sir, your craftsmanship is really good."
"Boss, I'm actually a farmer. Carpentry is just a way to earn some money. I came to the city this time to look for a part-time job. I didn't expect the boss to be so generous. " As Sang Carpenter spoke, he wanted to kneel down in front of Zhou Qingfeng. These days, the status of a farmer's family was really low. Basically, they had to kneel down whenever they saw a respectable person.
"Don't, don't, don't … Old Sang, please work for me from now on. With your skills, I'll give you three taels of silver a month. For every qualified disciple you bring me, I'll give you another five taels of silver. "Zhou Qingfeng was very willing to spend money for the sake of the Thousand Gold Market.
Usually, when he was making furniture for others, he would get a few taels of silver, but today, he would get a few taels of silver. Sang Carpenter was stunned when he heard the price. Obviously, he didn't hear it clearly and couldn't believe his ears.
When Zhou Qingfeng repeated it again, tears welled up in Zhou Qingfeng's eyes. His body trembled as he knelt down and kowtowed again. Zhou Qingfeng couldn't stop him no matter how hard he tried. He kept saying, "Thank you, boss. I, Old Sang, have been a carpenter my whole life. No one has ever offered me such a high price."
Zhou Qingfeng's business was a little big now. All kinds of constructions were going on and the demand for all kinds of wood products was huge. Carpentry was one of the most important jobs in ancient times. The only thing that could be compared to it was blacksmithing. In order to get a carpentry, he even took in Mao Ada, the rebellious guy. Now that there was a carpenter who was better than Mao Ada, he naturally had to win him over.
After comforting Sang Carpenter, Zhou Qingfeng looked at his own hospital. After he started to recruit people on a large scale, there were a lot of weak people who needed treatment and nursing. Because there were no qualified doctors, Zhou Qingfeng and Xu Bing had to find the easiest to understand "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" and learn it on the spot. They followed the description in the book to determine their diseases.
Zhou Qingfeng categorized the more than 500 recruits into those with value, those with potential value, those without value, and those who were harmful. The valuable ones, such as Sang Carpenter and Tan Feng, were directly arranged to work after a simple screening. But the number of these people was very small, less than one-tenth of the total.
Next were the ones with potential value. After a simple treatment, they could resume their labor after eating. After recuperating for a period of time, these people were sent to the villages outside the city that were under Zhou Qingfeng's control. They were to do some light manual labor such as collecting firewood and fuel. This was to develop discipline and prepare for the future as basic labor.
In addition, there were many women with children. In order to establish his kind and generous image, Zhou Qingfeng also decided to take them in. The four prostitutes with typhoid who were treated during the day were also in the same situation. They stayed to buy people's hearts.
As for the harmful ones, they were naturally eliminated without mercy. Other than that, there were also those who were deemed worthless … These people did not have a good fate.
"Gao Daniu?" Zhou Qingfeng held the name list in his hand and inspected the beds in the hospital one by one. When he was recruiting people, he said that he would not reject anyone, but that was not the case in reality.
Those who did not meet the standard would be cross-judged by Zhou Qingfeng's subordinates. This kind of judgment was also a kind of practice. After being judged as worthless, these people would be sent to the hospital to receive a certain diagnosis and care. The people taking care of these people were also inexperienced newbies. The whole process of taking care of them was a process that Zhou Qingfeng followed according to the book and went through the training process.
It had only been three days since the hospital was opened, but 50 men and women who were either clumsy, ignorant, or at a loss of what to do had already taken care of more than ten 'worthless people' into the graveyard of the Leaky Garden while they were learning and practicing in a muddled manner. The good news was that these care workers were improving quickly.
Debridement, disinfection, bandaging, injections, medication, cleaning, basic first aid, handling the patient's vomit and excrement, monitoring the patient's symptoms, managing the medical equipment, and many other skills were being taught. Zhou Qingfeng even transferred one of his trusted subordinates, Sun Ren, to the hospital as the director. He was also responsible for teaching all the care workers how to read. As long as they were his subordinates, they must be literate. That was the iron rule.
However, everything was difficult at the beginning. Establishing a hospital was always troublesome. In the process, the worthless people were also used by Zhou Qingfeng as guinea pigs. Now, he held the name list and walked around the hospital like the Grim Reaper.
Zhou Qingfeng would make the final judgment on the worthless people. If he crossed a cross on the name list, it would mean that the person was completely useless and did not need to be taken care of. He would just let them die.
The young man named Gao Daniu was lying on the bed. When he was recruited, he was marked as' extremely weak 'and became a worthless person. He was sent to the hospital to train the novice care workers. After a few days of care, not only did his body not become stronger, it began to sway as if he was suffering from malaria.
Zhou Qingfeng had a special medicine to treat malaria, but he was not satisfied with Gao Daniu's condition. After he frowned and called out 'Gao Da Niu', the young man who was originally lying on the sickbed struggled to get up and trembled in front of him. However, he did not say a word and just stood there foolishly.
Sun Ren stood behind Zhou Qingfeng and said softly, "This man is 17 or 18 years old, but he's too skinny and a little dumb. He doesn't even speak logically."
The word 'logic' was taught by Zhou Qingfeng. He often used it to describe illiterate people who could not read. Now that Sun Ren could recognize 500 Chinese characters and write simply, she began to use 'speak logically' to describe idiots.
Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand, signaling Sun Ren to stop talking. Among the asylum workers, he could tolerate the disabled, the weak recipients, and those with bad tempers, but he could not tolerate idiots. The name 'Gao Daniu' sounded stupid, and he did not like it. As a result, the name "Tall Ox" was crossed out on the roster.
"Give him a good meal," Zhou Qingfeng said coldly. Zhou Qingfeng said coldly. The resources in his hands were not unlimited. There would come a time when he would stop taking care of 'worthless people'. Sun Ren understood what he meant and nodded silently. She then ordered Gao Daniu to continue lying down.
It took about an hour to patrol the ward. Zhou Qingfeng crossed the names of more than 20 people on the 50 beds. The remaining 20 people were not safe either. In fact, when their value was used up, they would meet the same fate.
After deciding the fate of a group of people, Zhou Qingfeng left the simple shed in the hospital to return to his office on the third floor of the Lin Family Inn. It was already very late, and he was also staying in the office. Xu Bing lived on the second floor. When Zhou Qingfeng passed by her door, he saw that there were still candles lit inside.
"Rest early," Zhou Qingfeng said at the door.
Xu Bing was reading, a lot of books. Other than 'The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook', she also had 'The Friend of Military and Civilian Talents' and other miscellaneous books. In response to Zhou Qingfeng's reminder, she only smiled and said, "We will regret not having enough books when we need them. We have to recharge now. Don't worry about me. In the past, I stayed up all night for a week to catch criminals. I can take it. "
"We are not in the past. Our living conditions are not as good." Zhou Qingfeng still tried to persuade her. He raised his hand and looked at the mechanical watch on his arm. He sighed and said, "Sigh … You are working so hard. I will also go read for a while before going to sleep."
Xu Bing gave Zhou Qingfeng a smile and watched him leave. However, just as Zhou Qingfeng's body moved, he suddenly froze. He slowly raised his head and stared up. Xu Bing saw that his expression was not right and quickly grabbed the crossbow next to her. Zhou Qingfeng reached out his hand and gestured for her to calm down. At the same time, he raised his finger and said, "There is a little thing entering my room from the window."
Zhou Qingfeng, who had the 'Heaven Mending Stone', had extremely sensitive hearing. His gaze indicated the direction of the abnormal situation — — from his own room on the third floor to Xu Bing's room on the second floor.
"It came out of the window and is climbing downwards. It is approaching the window of your room." Zhou Qingfeng was already looking at the window of Xu Bing's room. "It is very small. Its movements are very agile and alert. It is like a scout."
Xu Bing's window was closed, but light could pass through the cracks in the wood. Xu Bing walked to the side of the window and pointed the crossbow at it. However, Zhou Qingfeng quickly shook his head and said, "It left. It went to the first floor and climbed out from the window of the main hall on the first floor."
Xu Bing turned her head to look at Zhou Qingfeng and said in a low voice, "Someone is spying on us."
Zhou Qingfeng also looked at Xu Bing. "You moved the Flat Hair away. It gave someone a chance to take advantage of you."
There was only the saying, "A thief can be a thief for a thousand days, but not a thief for a thousand days." When Zhou Qingfeng realized that he would be the target of the potential enemy, he quickly discussed with Xu Bing to set up a trap to lure the enemy out and destroy them. One of the arrangements was to let the Flat Hair, who was the strongest, temporarily leave and appear in public elsewhere.
"I will call the Flat Hair back immediately. The puppet bird will fly over quickly to help." Xu Bing opened her window and carefully peeped outside. She put a mirror and a candle on the window. The reflection of the mirror immediately sent out a warning signal.
