Lu Bu did not indulge in women's sex, but gathered Cai Yong, Chen Gong and other advisers to discuss the feasibility of the "People's Commune".
In order to make it easier for people to accept, Lu Bu used many words such as "tuntian" and "military reclamation".
Food is the most important thing for the people, and this is especially true for the army.
Lu Bu now has a large number of laborers involved in building the city, and tens of thousands of people are training hard day and night as part-time soldiers.
These are all heavy physical labor and require a large amount of food to feed them.
There were also thousands of plundered barbarians from the state who had to be fed half to six cents to prevent them from starving to death.
These people consume 100,000 kilograms of food every day, and now Lu Bu still has food supplies that he robbed and cheated from everywhere, which is not a long-term solution.
They discussed how to integrate land farms and how to calculate work points as a basis for future food distribution. They discussed it for several days.
The next step was to discuss how to build water conservancy projects and dig canals.
When Lu Bu first proposed the crazy idea of building a canal that would run through Xuzhou and connect several major water systems, everyone was shocked.
Although as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu Fucha built the Han ditch connecting the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River in Xuzhou, seven hundred years have passed and many rivers have long been silted up.
If we want to dredge hundreds of miles of old canals and dig hundreds of miles of new canals, it might still be possible if we mobilize all the efforts of Xuzhou to dig for several years in peacetime.
But now that the war is in chaos, if we continue to recruit so many corvees for such a big project, it is really the only way to bring about our own destruction!
Although it can be guessed that Lu Bu is interested in the slaves brought from the East, don't the slaves need to eat?
There are so many slaves, wouldn’t it be nice to let them work in the fields, build cities, and dig coal?
Although Lu Bu explained the importance of building the canal with facts and truth, he still received unanimous opposition.
At most, the original Hang ditch can be cleared and reused.
Some people even think that Lu Bu's capture of these foreigners as slaves was an unjust act and was not in line with the status of the heavenly kingdom.
As a country of etiquette, we should convince people with virtue and reason, but should not enslave foreigners with force.
Lu Bu sneered at this view.
If you are not a member of my race, your heart will be different. If the Han people become stronger, the surrounding barbarians will come to worship you and consider you as their father.
However, when the Han people temporarily declined due to natural disasters and civil strife, these barbarians showed their ferocity and their fangs.
Not to mention, a hundred years later, the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty weakened the country's power. The surrounding ethnic groups took the opportunity to cause trouble and established several large and small political regimes, plunging the Central Plains into the most chaotic and darkest period.
They did not regard the Han people as human beings at all, and arbitrarily slaughtered and raped the Han people. They even used the Han people as military rations and called them "two-legged sheep." This caused the population of the Han people in the north to drop sharply from 12 million to 4 million!
Not to mention the 35 million people who died when the Japanese invaded China more than a thousand years later.
Lu Bu remembered such bloody figures clearly.
Although his appearance cannot make the Han people continue to be strong for thousands of years, at least he cannot let the current chaotic situation continue.
So for Lu Bu, what does it mean to enslave foreigners?
When he frees his hands, he will slash the butcher knife at these beasts!
I had just finished a meeting that day and was about to have dinner, but Hua Tuo came to my door.
Lu Bu hurriedly asked people to come in, and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Yuanhua is here! Please sit down quickly. Have you eaten? Let's eat something together?"
Hua Tuo cupped his hands and said bluntly, "Marquis Wen, some people in the city have been infected with the cold!"
"Ah? When was it discovered? How many people were there? Do you know where it came from?" Lu Bu suddenly stood up.
The plague is a big deal. If it is not controlled well, a large number of people will die!
Hua Tuo replied: "It started yesterday, and now there are more than ten people found. It's not sure where it came from, but I heard that there are more infected people in Peixian County..."
Lu Bu walked up and down with his hands behind his back and said, "You can't be careless about this matter! Seal the city!"
Order all soldiers and civilians in the city not to go out unless necessary! Anyone who has to go out as a last resort must cover their mouth and nose with at least three layers of cloth!
The entire family of the sick person is quarantined and is not allowed to walk in and out at will. Food and water are given to them regularly.
An isolation point will also be established. People coming from out of town, especially from the direction of Peixian County, who want to enter the city will be quarantined and observed for seven days at the isolation point.
And register personal information, especially where it comes from. Only those who have not been sick within seven days can enter the city!
Those who want to leave the city must register one by one, and ask clearly where they are going and when they will return!
Use lime water to disinfect isolation points, city gates, hospitals, and homes of sick people!
In addition, no matter how much coal is brought into the city, the people in the city will have to drink boiled water..."
Hua Tuo couldn't help but said: "Marquis Wen, please speak slowly, wait until I record it..."
"Where's the secretary?" Lu Bu called.
Du Shi hurriedly responded and walked in, writing down everything on the paper according to what Lu Bu said.
Hua Tuo added a few more points. Lu Bu nodded after reading them and said:
"Take it to Mr. Cai and ask him to print a thousand copies and then distribute them to be posted everywhere in Xuzhou. Anyone who violates the rules will be punished with twenty canes!
In addition, send some to surrounding counties and tell them that this method can greatly reduce the spread of diseases! "
Du agreed and went, but Hua Tuo couldn't help but said with a smile: "Marquis Wen is so decisive in preventing the epidemic, and he has so many wonderful ideas, he will definitely save the people of Xuzhou from the plague. It is really a blessing for the people!"
Lu Bu sighed and said, "It's a pity that if such a document is issued, I'm afraid only Pengcheng can implement it smoothly under my personal supervision.
If you go to other counties, you will probably be discounted. If you go out of Xuzhou, you may be looked down upon. Health and epidemic prevention still have a long way to go! "
Hua Tuo consoled him: "Marquis Wen has a heart for the world, which is really admirable! Marquis Wen doesn't have to worry, as long as people know about this epidemic, Marquis Wen has effectively controlled the epidemic with this method, and someone will definitely follow suit next time!"
Lu Bu sighed and said, "I hope so! I'm just the one who came up with the idea. The actual execution depends on you, Mr. Yuanhua."
If you have any questions, just come to me or go to Mi Zhu. "
Hua Tuo agreed: "Don't worry, Marquis Wen, Hua Tuo will definitely be attentive."
Lu Bu added: "By the way, speaking of plague, I suddenly remembered two prescriptions, which may have some effect."
Hua Tuo was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said: "Please give me some advice from Marquis Wen!"
"Sir, do you know that Artemisia annua can treat malaria? Wash the Artemisia annua, soak it in water, stir it, and then take its juice..."
Lu Bu told Hua Tuo about two simple and effective "recipes" called artemisinin and allicin.
Malaria is the most common infectious disease, especially in military camps, where it is most likely to break out on a large scale.
The cinchona tree, the raw material of cinchona, a specific medicine for treating malaria, still grows in the Indes Mountains of America.
Moreover, this thing has serious side effects and is only effective for severe cases.
Artemisia annua is easy to obtain, has mild medicinal properties and few side effects, and is more effective.
As for allicin, it is much easier to prepare as an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent than penicillin.
Under current conditions, it is simply a pipe dream to purify penicillin that can be used for injection, and mass production is even less likely.
Allicin is also easy to obtain and its extraction is relatively simple.
If successful, it can be used to treat deep fungal and bacterial infections, such as lung and digestive tract fungal infections, Candida albicans bacteremia, acute and chronic bacillary dysentery, acute and chronic enteritis, whooping cough, etc.
In this era, it can be said to be a panacea.
