Chapter 366 Hill District (eight)
Shao Yuanyi has no idea how many times he has come to Luohan Town deep in the hills. This place is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Kamakuang River, with a large area of wild orange forests, which occupy more than one-third of his working hours. Every time he either comes here for a visit (and also does disease control publicity), or teaches the village health workers (commonly known as village doctors) in various townships of the county. After a few years, his legs ran thinner and walked all the way through the mountain road.
Of course, with the funding of the regional administration, the dredging and widening project of the middle reaches of the Kamakuang River built by Xihu County has been completed, and the shipping conditions in the middle reaches of the river have been greatly improved. The 72-ton steamer can be directly connected to various parts of the middle reaches, which undoubtedly greatly improved the transportation level of Luohan County, allowing a large number of agricultural products (mainly fruits) in the county to be transported through the river to Xihu County, Ping'an County, Zhenhai County, Shenwu County and other places with stronger consumption capacity downstream, which is of great significance to increasing the income of local residents.
It was also a blessing for the river channel dredging. When Shao Yuanyi went to Luohan Town for a visit, he boarded a ship to transport groceries at the dock of Luohan Town. This ship was a privately purchased 72-ton steamer, an old ship eliminated by the state-owned inland river transportation company (the company has begun to gradually purchase inland river transport ships with larger tonnages, such as the 150-ton one). It is currently transporting between five townships in the middle and lower reaches of the Kamakuang River, and the benefits are quite good.
When the ship was shipped from Dafeng Port, it was loaded with many agricultural machinery accessories, biscuits, refined flour, and when it arrived at Wucaoling Township, it loaded some cured meat, cheese and butter at Hongxing Farm, and some cheap liquor made from the countryside at Xincheng Township Wharf. It also brought more than ten villagers who went to the county town along the way. It can be said that they used the cabin to the extreme and sailed all the way. Shao Yuanyi repeatedly saw that the river water almost flooded the ship's side, which made him wonder whether the ship would sink. He was also constantly scolding the boss of the black-hearted ship who ignored safety in order to make money.
Fortunately, his luck was pretty good, and the ship finally arrived at the terminal at Luohan Town Wharf. It was dawn at this time, and there were vendors or restaurants selling breakfast in groups of three or three on the pier. They were nothing more than cooking cakes, fried dough sticks, wontons, dumplings, tofu brains, etc., which tasted pretty good. So Shao Yuanyi decided to spend a few cents to invite the whole class to sit around and have a steaming breakfast.
After breakfast, I took a break for a while. It was already bright. The only steam boom on the dock had already started working. The baskets of fruits, bags of wheat, and wooden boards (dried and cut) were lifted to a ship parked by the simple dock. Next to the ship, there were five or six ships waiting in line for unloading or loading. The boss of the ship who couldn't wait went ashore and squatted under the tree beside the dock and started mahjong. It was a pleasure.
The near the wharf is actually the core area of Luohan Town and even Luohan County. The population here is the most densely populated in the county, with the largest number of wealthy households, and the business is naturally the most prosperous. Of course, in the eyes of people like Shao Yuanyi who have seen the world, the dock business that Luohan locals are proud of naturally cannot be compared with the big cities outside, but he will not have any experience with these rural local buns.
A crisp sound of bells was ringing not far away. The boy who was washing a foal immediately put down the bucket and brush, ran to a pile of firewood with a few wisps of blue smoke, used a shovel to push a pile of embers away in a few shovels, then pulled up two sweet potatoes buried in the soil, and hurried away.
"The baby is going to go to school." The owner of a kind restaurant gave everyone a plate of peanuts. The peanuts were full, and it seemed to be a top imported South African peanuts.
"I've just ringed the bell for the first time now. If you haven't arrived at the school after a while, the teacher will probably be punished to stand up." The boss continued to laugh, but then he seemed to think of something again. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that this kid is not a material for studying, and zero scores are not a test once or twice. I saw that I couldn't study, so I wanted to take the kid back and help me several times, but I asked the teacher in the school to reject it. They said that my kid would at least have to finish elementary school. It's always good to recognize more words, and in the future, I will learn to repair agricultural machinery and other ways. I thought that this was right, so let him hang out in the school first, and spend some money next year to serve him as a master, and learn how to repair that horse-drawn harvester from others. I won't have any food to eat in the future."
"This is a good way." Shao Yuanyi nodded in praise.
The fact is that on the east coast today, agriculture is still the largest industry in the country, and it is also an industry that absorbs the most employed population. It can be said that it is the top priority of the country. Now that the agricultural production order has been steadily developing for more than 20 years, agricultural machinery such as animal harvesters (usually horse-drawn harvesters), threshers, steam plows, etc. have begun to gain widespread use in rural areas. In this way, small and micro enterprises such as agricultural machinery leasing companies, agricultural machinery parts workshops, and agricultural machinery repair workshops have sprung up in rural areas across the country like mushrooms after a rain. It has gradually become an indispensable part of the huge industrial chain of agriculture, together with seed companies, agricultural product processing plants (and selling bean cakes and other fertilizers).
The owner of the restaurant wanted to let his child who had no hope of studying to learn from his master and learn how to repair various agricultural machinery. He did see this trend. Shao Yuanyi also agreed with this and believed that for a long time in the future, with the increasing number of domestic population, the increasing number of newly reclaimed land, and the increasingly close ties with the international grain market, the agricultural machinery repair industry will not decline, and there will be a bite of food.
After breakfast, the restaurant owner generously filled everyone's water bag with steaming noodle soup. After thanking the boss, everyone quickly walked to the township government next to the township central primary school.
The township mayor that Shao Yuanyi knew before had been promoted to deputy county magistrate. At this time, the newly appointed town mayor was born in the Dayuhe Youth Cadre School. He worked in a village in Ping'an County for many years. Because of his outstanding political achievements, he was transferred to Luohan Town, Luohan County as the mayor, and his future was extremely bright. He was also very grateful to Shao Yuanyi for coming to the town to train grassroots health workers for everyone, and kept saying that he wanted to invite everyone to a banquet. Unfortunately, a few years have passed and the town's finances are still not abundant, so he can only give up the matter with embarrassment.
Fortunately, Shao Yuanyi didn't care. He gave lectures to everyone in the morning and took the outpatient clinic outside the township government compound in the afternoon. He treated everyone with several doctors in the village. Of course, the fees were also very low, and the money would be used to maintain grassroots medical and health care services.
Shao Yuanyi's way of seeing a doctor opened his eyes to some doctors in the town who were transferred from apprentices from Daming Pharmacy. For example, he would actually use some strange tube-shaped objects (simple stethoscopes, rubber tubes) to the patient's chest to listen to the sound of the heartbeat to judge whether there is any problem with the patient's heart; for example, he would also put some rubber-made leather case on the patient's arm, and then inflate it into the rubber case to expand and block the circulation of the branch artery and listen to the pulse sound. It is said that this is to measure blood pressure. In the medical and health care standards issued by the Ministry of Health at the beginning of this year, it was clearly stated that blood pressure measurement is one of the important criteria. Of course, it is only popular in big cities at present. As for remote and internal hilly towns like Luohan County, it is naturally impossible to smell it. That is, Shao Yuanyi, a local tycoon, went to Ping'an County to buy a full set of new medical devices at his own expense, which gave the opportunity to open his eyes to these rural local buns.
Shao Yuanyi even vaguely heard that the people from the Institute of Medicine of the Natural Science Research Institute were still working with the Dayuhe Medical College to create an interesting thing. The thing is said to be very complicated and is still in the research stage. It is basically a device, an electricity meter and several buckets. It is said that it can measure the conduction current when the patient's heart beats. Because they believe that every time the heart beats, a current will cross from the right heart to the left heart. Once the myocardium is damaged, the current will disappear. Therefore, they are eager to measure the current to determine the degree of myocardium damage.
According to unreliable news, when measuring myocardial current with this device, the patient needs to put all his limbs in water, and the operation is extremely complicated. Unfortunately, the meter on the east coast is extremely sensitive, and the accuracy and reliability are very low, so it is completely impossible to keep up with the genius of scientists, so the research and development process can only temporarily stagnate. It is estimated that it will not be solved in the next few years or even more than ten years, but there is no doubt that this does not affect the pioneering nature of this method of measuring myocardial myocardial.
Of course, Shao Yuanyi could not afford this kind of equipment, let alone that this kind of equipment could not be developed successfully in a short period of time. However, as an enthusiast of medical instruments, he still likes to collect and fiddle with some novel medical devices to satisfy his vigorous curiosity in exploring the mysteries of the human body.
After seeing dozens of patients for several days, Shao Yuanyi finally got ready to finish work and go home on the last day of 1656 on December 31. Before leaving, he carefully instructed his students to carefully pack various instruments and medicines in different categories and prepare to stuff them for shipping home in the luggage. As for him, it is said that he will stay here for more than a week, meet the famous figures in the county, and contact them to provide help in the future business.
