Chapter 5 Schistosoma

?ps. Come with today's update and get some votes for Qidian 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and they also get Qidian coins for voting. I beg everyone to support and appreciate it!

The plan for the year lies in spring. There are many things to do at the beginning of the new year. Farmers should prepare for spring plowing, plant mulberry and silkworms, and cultivate fields to ensure that people eat enough. Planting mulberry and silkworms is related to whether people have clothes to keep warm.

For the government, this means whether the rent and adjustment of the year can be collected. Rent and adjustment is land rent, households transfer, and land rent is grain and households transfer is collected with silk fabrics. Zhou State implements rent and adjustment. Those with households (married men) rent about five hu of rice (stone) according to the year of the year, ranging from one to three pieces of silk or cloth, and those who are unmarried are halved.

In order to ensure fiscal revenue, everything that hinders farming and silkworm farming must be solved, but what Bazhou governor Yuwen Wen is anxious to do now is another thing.

The statistical results reported by each county were placed on the desk. This is a distribution of a bloating disease that Yuwen Wen had taken office when he was in charge of the county. People with this disease will gradually expand their stomachs. Although they will not die immediately, they will lose their ability to work and have to wait for death.

As long as you have this disease, no doctor or miraculous doctor can cure it, if the disease is raging, no men, women, and young people in the entire village will even appear. Speaking of this disease, the "scientific name" in the future is a bit terrifying: schistosomiasis.

The "meeting" here were the chief minister Ren Chong, and Xu Shao, Hao Wu Bo and Zheng Tong, who came here this time, they thought that the governor Yuwen Wen was going to arrange the division of labor of "supporting farmers and raising silkworms", but they heard the other party's mention of this bloating disease and was confused.

"Eunuch, I often see this bloating disease and don't know what's wrong with it?" asked the chief Bo Zheng Tong. He had been a grassroots official and knew that the disease Yuwen Wen investigated was a common disease and did not know what it was intended.

"Since Zheng Zhubo knew about this disease, he should know what consequences would be?" Yuwen Wen asked. This disease will cause a large number of labor and livestock (mainly cattle) to be scrapped, which will seriously affect agricultural production.

Today, the two lakes are not the granary of the world for later generations. The low development level is small but the population is mostly high in blood sucking disease, which is a bit worse. The number of people in Bazhou, a small state with less than 20,000 households is even worse than that of a county in the Central Plains, which makes Yuwen Wen, who is determined to be violent, feels very troubled.

③⑥③⑥, “What the envoy means is to cure this bloating disease? Those worms are cured without medicine.” Zheng Tong was surprised when he heard this. It is said that bloating disease is caused by worms in the water, and there is always no medicine to cure it. The only thing the people can think of is to avoid the epidemic.

However, most of the fertile land that has been reclaimed for a long time is occupied by aristocratic families. If the land is opened, it will be infected with bulging diseases and eventually the family will be destroyed. This is why many wildernesses and wild areas have not been reclaimed. If this problem can be solved, it will really benefit thousands of families.

"I am not a miracle doctor, so I don't know how to treat it." Yuwen Wen didn't pretend to be a fool. He couldn't get special medicine in this era. "But I know how to prevent and treat it."

Schistosomiasis mainly rages in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River until the 20th century. In the 1960s and 1970s, under the vigorous governance of the government, it once disappeared, but later it was a tendency to recur.

When humans or livestock come into contact with waters with snails, the Schistosoma cercariae (larvae) that are housed in snails drill into the human body/livestock through the skin and then grow in the liver, spleen, intestines, ovulation, the patient loses water, and abdominal distension, which means that the big belly loses labor and dies. The same is true for livestock.

This disease was a terminal illness in ancient times. If you want to cure it, only modern society can have special medicines. So now, as long as you touch it, you can only wait for death. The only thing you can do is prevent it: do not contact with the epidemic water, eliminate the only intermediate host, snails, and detect schistosomiasis to eliminate the source of infection (human, animal feces).

Zheng Tong was a little unbelievable when he heard Yuwen Wen talk about snails. He understood that he didn't know what the relationship between snails and worms had to do. Yuwen Wen made a conclusion without saying nonsense: "There are snails that may not be snails, but there must be snails where there are snails, but there must be snails!"

Snails are the only intermediate host of Schistosoma schistosomes, so the most effective measure to prevent and treat schistosome is to kill snails. The feces of those patients contain schistosome eggs, so they need to be treated in a centralized manner. The reason why they collect the distribution of bulging diseases is to take measures.

Don’t let Xu Shao do it. Hao Wu Bo is a rich man from the "three generations of officials" in the treatment. He has only heard of bloating disease, but his impression of snails is very vague. However, they think that since Yuwen Wen said this, it should be correct.

"So the primary task is to check whether there are snails near the farmlands on the Bazhou border." Yu Wenwen said with a serious expression, "According to the statistics reported, everyone in the epidemic village must move to a place to live in a concentrated area to prevent the disease from spreading."

"The farmland in those villages is not allowed to be processed, livestock are not allowed to go to the ground, nearby ditches and ponds."

According to statistics, there are not many villages in Bazhou that have bloating diseases, so Yuwen was relieved but decided to implement measures to prevent and control schistosomiasis. There were not many people under his control. If he wanted to invest manpower to open up land and farm but had schistosomiasis, he would really cry without tears.

"Xu Biejia, this time you are responsible for the construction of water conservancy. You should pay attention to the investigation of the original ditches. Don't introduce the epidemic water into the fertile fields, otherwise it will be a tragedy on earth."

Yuwen Wen asked Xu Shao to be responsible for water conservancy construction. If the main crop in Jiangnan is rice, it is necessary to build water conservancy. The Yangtze River embankment will be a must-do, but ditches and small dams can be used.

The Bazhou area has experienced wars in recent years, so some ditches are severely silted. Yuwen Wen handed over the important task of water conservancy construction to Xu Shao and also had high hopes for him and his team behind him.

Xu Shao said that the construction of water conservancy requires a large number of manpower, and young and strong people gathered in a fight and would have a major event, so they had to send troops to follow the scene. Yuwen Wen asked the chief minister Ren Chong, who was present, to coordinate the matter.

"Zheng Zhubo is responsible for moving all the patients to live together. The address is up to you. If you need a settlement fee, you will get it from Curry. Remember, everyone in the epidemic village must be moved away. The sick livestock are extinguished on the spot and they are not allowed to flow into the market as meat."

"Hao Zhizhong is responsible for arranging people to check the snails, starting from the surrounding area of ​​Xiyang City. The areas near the cultivated farmland and the beaches and lakes that fishermen often fish for fishermen must be inspected."

"Remember, don't lead the way into the water to investigate, just let the special person go." Yuwen Wen didn't want his own people to be hit and turned into a "big belly". The reason why he was so sensible to face a great enemy was that his soldiers also had to participate in the farming field.

Bahe City has been held by him, and the countless fertile fields under the name of the Lu family have been distributed to the meritorious soldiers. With the fields, everyone is full of energy and is waiting to go to the fields to plow in spring. Although these are all mature fields that have been cultivated for many years, he still has to check them first before he can rest assured.

The total number of state soldiers and war soldiers was at least 4,000. If these 4,000 young and strong men didn't help with farm work, they would be a waste of things. But the only thing he was worried about was schistosomiasis. If the fighter who had been trained so easily for farm work became a "big belly" without any power, it would be a cry without tears.

The schistosomiasis situation in Bazhou is not serious, but he must be prepared. He has to face this problem no matter where he goes to farm in the Yangtze River Basin. Of course, there is another problem to face. Although it is inhumane, someone must give orders.

"After understanding the situation, let the death row prisoners deal with the epidemic water snails!"
