It was originally planned to let disabled soldiers who could still move normally pull a rickshaw, but when the prototype was built, a certain prince found that the person he had scouted in advance was simply too difficult to handle. It would be difficult for an able-bodied person to pull this thing, let alone a disabled person. people.
So we gave it up. The Ministry of War will arrange the future work of the Beijing soldiers who were injured in the battle to defend the city. However, the new Minister of War, Feng Yuanbiao, is also at a loss. The livelihood of hundreds of people is at stake, and everyone must be fed. Rice is never that easy.
Huang Degong didn't care so much, because the prince had spoken, and the Ministry of War had to take responsibility to the end. His men were all injured while defending the capital, not to mention those who died in the battle. Anyone who was gasping for breath could not go hungry.
The tentative pension standard that has been drawn up is that seriously injured soldiers who are discharged from the army will receive one tael of silver per person per month, do not need to work, and can receive a one-time pension of 100 taels.
Those who are discharged from the army with minor injuries can double their monthly income, but they need to work on time every day to get it. They can receive a one-time pension of fifty taels.
This is the same as the income in the army, but the army is responsible for food and housing, and there will be huge bonuses in the future, but those who retire early will not be at risk of losing their heads.
In addition, bonuses have also been paid to the soldiers who defended Nancheng. Ordinary soldiers can receive no less than twenty taels of silver each. The higher the military rank, the more bonuses they will receive.
The outer city was almost burned, and a certain prince planned to build a new residential area east of Chongwenmen, in the Chongbeifang area, specifically to house disabled soldiers.
The expenses are allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the construction, and the Ministry of War is responsible for statistics. Anyone who is an impostor will be shown to the public as long as it is verified.
This is a real estate project used to win over the morale of the soldiers of the Yongwei Camp. A certain prince will never allow any sloppiness, let alone those who profit from it.
Three hundred meters outside Zhengyangmen, an open space was opened on Zhengyangmen Street to build the Martyrs' Shrine, where all fallen soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country can be included.
You can enjoy the treatment of the emperor, prince and courtiers coming to offer incense and pay homage every year during the Qingming Festival.
Yao Ji wants to laugh when he thinks of the plot in some movies where the protagonist builds the Martyrs' Shrine outside Chengtian Gate.
They took it for granted that this was an open space. They didn't know that across Chang'an Street, opposite Chengtianmen, on the left were the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Rites, and on the right were the Houfu, Taichang Temple, and the General Affairs Department. .
If the Martyrs' Shrine is built here, all these yamen must be demolished first. Only an author with an IQ as high as 250 would do this, and Yao Ji admires it.
It just so happened that the outer city was in ruins, and it was time to re-plan it. The location of the north-south Zhengyangmen Street would remain unchanged, but it would be widened, and the location near Zhengyangmen would be turned into a square.
In the future, the east-west Yanhe Street will be parallel to the south wall of the inner city, starting and ending at Dongbianmen and Xibianmen. The road will be widened to ten lanes plus sidewalks, with a total length of 50 meters, which can take into account the needs of military parades.
Since the square will become a pedestrian area, it will become very lively in the future, and the residences near the square can be developed into commercial projects.
The buildings in the inner city are very dense, and it is not easy to launch any new projects. Demolition of old buildings will cost a lot of money, so the outer city is a good choice.
Rich people can still go back and buy a house, and poor people can find a job nearby. Once they have a job, they can sign a periodic repayment agreement with a real estate company, and use this to buy a house, or use the house deed to exchange for it.
Build a new city, build inner city walls, and develop outer city real estate. These three arrows can absorb a lot of labor force. In addition, supplementing the Yongwei camp and forming the East Palace Guards, as well as a large number of rickshaw pullers, you will not have to worry about finding livestock around the capital. to livelihood.
"Boom~!"
It wasn't that someone fired a cannon to attack the city, but for a certain prince, the sound was almost the same as being shot, and his heart felt a little cramped.
The last pressure cooker also exploded, which meant that his liquid ammonia plan was completely ruined. Without this kind of thing, sulfonamides could not be synthesized. The soldiers who were still struggling on the line of life and death could only rely on their own resistance to survive.
After several days of wasting time, the result was not satisfactory. Under the dual effects of high pressure and low temperature, the pressure cooker of Dachuchao could not hold it for long before it exploded.
Liquid ammonia is easily liquefied in a subzero environment below minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the pressure needs to reach 190 kPa.
But the ice cellar can only be controlled at around minus 12 degrees, which corresponds to the 268 kPa standard.
This goes beyond the manufacturer's settings. At normal temperatures, pressure cookers manufactured by craftsmen can occasionally behave like this.
However, at low temperatures, the pot will deform, resulting in poor air tightness and even an explosion.
After frying six pots in a row, Yaoji was unable to do anything about it unless the temperature of the ice cellar was lowered to below 20 degrees.
The liquefied ammonia is just a handful, and the synthesized sulfonamide is less than half a catty.
After sifting through it, only about three taels were left. This thing was simply more precious than ten times its weight of platinum.
A certain prince gave up the idea of using sulfonamide to save wounded soldiers, so it could only be used by senior generals at the most critical moment.
Only senior guerrilla officers who are wounded can enjoy it. Ordinary soldiers should try the "biochemical cantaloupe" developed by a certain prince...
Assuming that costs are not taken into account and production is expanded, especially by increasing the number of pressure cookers and building a lower-temperature ice cellar, about half a kilogram of sulfonamides should be synthesized every day.
One hundred and eighty kilograms a year is quite a lot. At present, it seems that we can only adopt such stupid methods, otherwise we have to rely on the even more unreliable certain mycin, because even a certain prince does not know how to cultivate it himself What kind of mycin is coming out?
Even if penicillin is produced, it must be tested on the skin beforehand. Some people are allergic to penicillin and cannot use it. In the end, they have to rely on sulfonamides to save their lives.
Ammonia is a poisonous gas. If the pressure cooker explodes and is inhaled by the human body or touched by the eyes, it will naturally cause non-combat casualties.
Even with glasses and gas masks as defensive barriers, it was still impossible to prevent it. In order to make Sanliang Sulfonamide, the research and development personnel had been carried out for more than ten days.
In order to absorb the ammonia released after the frying pan as quickly as possible, the craftsmen also made four long-nosed air extractors on the prince's order. They were hand-cranked. Although the speed was not fast, it was much better than natural dilution.
But that’s it for now, everything is a local method. If we wait until winter, the outdoor temperature will naturally drop below 20 degrees, and the sealing of the pressure cooker will be improved, and the output of sulfonamides will naturally be calculated in tons.
"I humble myself to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
When Mr. Qian Su Chen saw the prince coming to offer condolences, he was so excited that he wanted to stand up and kneel down, but his wound did not allow him to do so.
"Ai Qing is a meritorious minister, but he is injured right now. There is no need to get up, just stay in bed!"
Yaoji hurriedly waved his hand and asked his left and right to comfort the patient, but the wound worsened due to his own actions.
Yangwuhou and the two mansions on the left and right are now the Ming Army Hospital. Although the Ministry of War does not know the true meaning of the name, the sign has been put up.
There is an outpatient department, a registration office, a waiting room, and an operating room. Doctors and assistants have their own accommodations. The mansion on the right is the hospital for soldiers, and the mansion on the left is the hospital for generals.
At present, the departments are divided into head, nerve, fever, infection, abdominal cavity, and extremities. In order to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of the female relatives in Yongwei camp, an obstetrics and gynecology department has been specially added.
When Yaoji saw Su Chen's lips turned white and beads of sweat on his forehead, he knew that this guy was seriously injured and was using his will to hold on.
His attending physician had already introduced his condition. The arm and thigh on one side were completely damaged by artillery fire. Not only the skin was torn, but the white bones of his right arm were already visible.
Due to bacterial infection, the wound cannot heal. Doctors have prepared several antibacterial herbs for it, but the results are minimal. It is still unknown whether it can survive the next few days.
The young woman weeping next to the hospital bed was Su Chen's wife. Seeing her husband half-dead, she was helpless and could only express her sorrow by sobbing.
After everyone was dismissed, only a certain prince, Yang Jinchao, Xi'er, the attending physician, and the young couple were left in the room. Yaoji asked the doctor to remove the cotton cloth from the wound.
Only then did he see that the injured area had become severely suppurated and suddenly emitted a foul odor. If the limb could not be amputated and he wanted to save his body, he would have to risk his life.
"I have a newly synthesized medicine here that can be used to treat this kind of injury. It comes from the fairy world, but it is the first time it has been used on mortals. For ordinary people, it is no more than a poisonous medicine. Aiqing used it. There is a chance of death, so it would be wise to ask you and your wife beforehand!"
Even Yao Ji doesn’t know whether this sulfonamide can have the desired medicinal effect. It is certain that the ancients were not resistant to Western medicine. However, if the sulfonamide is so powerful that it directly kills the patient, then a certain prince will have no idea. Its rescue.
Of course, the antibacterial ability of sulfonamide is far inferior to that of penicillin. Because it is a topical drug, its efficacy is much higher than that of herbal medicine. If herbal medicine does not help the condition, then sulfonamide must be used.
Yaoji secretly speculated that one tael of sulfonamide should be enough for a seriously injured person, unless the purity of his own synthesis was not high enough. Of course, he could not give the sulfonamide all at once. If there was enough efficacy, overdose would be the case. It's a reminder.
Before his wife could say anything, Su Chen resolutely agreed, saying very boldly: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. You are in a humble position and have no talent. Give it a try. As a member of the Brave Guard Battalion, you should regard death as home. If you fail to die on the battlefield, , but I am afraid of this medicine, how can I be inferior to a rat in my humble position?"
The prince was here and wanted to treat his husband. Su Chen's wife did not dare to say anything, but she frowned, worried about her husband's injury.
However, Prince Shicai also said that this was poison, and after taking the medicine, the patient might die, so she was still very reluctant.
Seeing his wife biting her lips and not daring to speak, Su Chen was very unhappy and lectured: "What are you worried about? My husband's life is very tough. Your Highness the Crown Prince does not mind your husband's low status and is willing to use fairy medicine to treat her." , I am extremely grateful to my husband. As a woman, don’t make excuses without knowing what’s going on!”
The wonderful wife nodded slowly. She also understood that her husband's condition was getting worse. If there was no improvement, it would be difficult to bring him back to life.
"Let them sign and take their fingerprints, and then you can take the medicine!"
The attending physician has already given Su Chen an anesthetic, so this guy shouldn't be hurt to death.
Take out one or two sulfonamides from the bottle, divide it into five equal parts with a scale, split each part in half, and apply the medicine every six hours.
If the patient's condition improves, use this dose; otherwise, stop immediately and use other drugs for treatment.
If you can't bear it and die directly, then take it out and bury it, and give the family a pension of five hundred taels of silver.
Having said that, just one tael of sulfa in front of you cannot be bought with a thousand taels of silver.
The cost of a certain prince's treatment and saving lives was much higher than the pension, but he still had to do it.
"Whether you can bear it or not depends on Aiqing's luck. Success or failure depends on these few days!"
The part where the medicine is applied is only the skin, and the medicine cannot be applied to the bones, otherwise it will be like killing people and silencing them.
After the pus and blood stasis were removed, disinfected with alcohol, and almost evaporated, the doctor used the poison on the patient.
Under the influence of the anesthetic, Su Chen had no feeling in his right arm, but once the anesthetic wore off, he would feel pain.
"The humble position must fulfill the mission!"
Su Chen also regarded treatment as a battle, which was not an exaggeration, because the stakes were his own life and he had to pay enough attention to it.
"Then I will wait and see. I hope Aiqing will recover soon. If the danger can be averted this time, I will reward Aiqing with a beautiful concubine! Ahem, I will also reward Aiqing's wife worth five hundred taels of silver. jewelry!”
It seemed not good to find a concubine for someone else in front of their wife, so Yaoji had to make supplements, hoping to appease both ends.
The wonderful woman's thoughts are all on her husband. At least her husband can recover smoothly and will not worry about the concubine. Besides, she can also get the royal gift of jewelry, which she can wear and show off happily.
A certain prince also didn’t want to think that the sulfonamide he had worked so hard to develop, which was worth thousands of taels of silver, would KO the patient in the first clinical trial. That would be a waste of money~!
If you want to do experiments on ordinary soldiers, you can't bear to do it. A penny's weight of sulfonamide will not have much effect. It must be used for one cycle, at least half a tael.
Instead of doing this, it is better to use them for generals. Guerrilla officers can be equivalent to brigade-level officers. If they are cured, they can be taken as confidants. If they are not cured, then Prince Yama can be taken as his confidants...
"I would like to express my gratitude to Your Highness for your kindness. I will definitely receive this kind of reward!"
If that concubine is beautiful, she is worth at least two to three hundred taels. He and his wife can earn the prince sixty-seven taels of silver for free, plus the five hundred taels of silver he received as a reward for killing the enemy in the previous round, it is a huge sum of money for him. .
Thinking that he could live in a big house in the future, hug each other at home, and eat delicious food, Su Chen immediately ignited his fighting spirit and decided to fight the disease day and night, so that he would not be dragged to the underworld as an errand by the devil. .
"Then I can just wait for the good news!"
If we had known that fishing bait was so effective, would we have eliminated the need for sulfa?
The wife is greedy for money, the husband is lustful, these two couples...
Did I find the wrong treatment target?
Forget it, I’ve used it all and can’t regret it.
Next time you should keep your eyes peeled and put out the bait first to see how the patient responds.
