Chapter 157 I was right about you!
After dealing with the trivial matters, Ye Kun asked his subordinates:
"I have called a meeting of the heads of the military hospital and nursing home, as well as midwives' representatives and famous doctors from all over the county. Are they all here?"
"Everyone is here, in the conference room."
"Okay, let's go to the meeting." Ye Kun packed up the documents, took the county's medical clerk, and went to the meeting next door: "Master Guan, you and the eldest son come with me."
Guan Yafu nodded and followed Guan Bao with him.
The next room was built into a new conference room with several rows of tables and benches, a podium, and a blackboard.
There were twenty or thirty famous doctors in the county, as well as the heads and key personnel of the military hospital, nursing home, and delivery hospital.
All in one place.
Ye Kun entered the room, clasped his fists and saluted: "Gentlemen, I am Ye Kun, a subordinate. I am busy with official duties, so I am late. I am guilty of my crime."
All the doctors stood up and hurriedly returned the greeting.
"Teachers, please take a seat. You're welcome." Ye Kun went up to the podium and said:
"All of you teachers are famous doctors in this county. You have saved the dying and healed the wounded. Your merits are unparalleled. I respect and admire you very much. I invited you teachers here today so that you can have an exchange, learn from each other, and promote medical skills. In the future, we will set up a famous doctor hall to train more young doctors to treat the people of this county. I hope you will give your full support."
The doctors all nodded: "Don't worry, Master Ye, we will listen to you."
Ye Kun thanked him and said, "Now, please ask the supervisors and backbones of our military hospital, nursing home and delivery hospital to report their work to the teachers and introduce the basic situation. After lunch, arrange for the teachers to visit the military hospital and nursing home for guidance."
The doctor from the military hospital came on stage to explain the situation.
Then came Yao Caidie from the nursing home, who reported on recent work results and arrangements.
Finally, the director of the delivery hospital, a prostitute from Hirano County, came on stage, bowed, took out the forceps, and said with a smile:
"After three months of study and practice, our midwifery hospital has trained 50 excellent midwives, who are assigned to various townships and pavilions. There are another 50 midwives who are being trained. This thing in my hand is called a delivery forceps, which was made according to Mr. Ye's opinion.
In the past, three out of ten women died during difficult labor, and sometimes even the mother and the baby could not be saved. With the birth forceps, the number of women and babies who died during difficult labor has been greatly reduced. Mr. Ye also developed a standard delivery process and postpartum care process for us, and the number of postpartum wind and seven-day wind has also been greatly reduced. "
The famous doctors in the audience were all shocked and whispered to each other.
It is hard to imagine that a small pair of forceps can save so many women and newborns.
Guan Yafu, the old Confucian scholar, blushed and felt embarrassed when he heard this.
The old Confucian thinks that you shouldn’t listen to the story of women giving birth!
The lady on the stage continued:
"When the women of our Da Ding country get sick, many of them are too embarrassed to go see a doctor. Lord Ye's idea is to select some women from the delivery hospital and nursing home and train them to be doctors, so that it will be more convenient for women to see doctors in the future. However, doctors have to deal with many diseases, so they need the guidance of the teachers."
The doctors looked at each other and smiled, still looking down on these female doctors in their hearts.
Ye Kun came on stage, clasped his fists and said:
"We have established a famous doctor hall, and we need all the teachers to take turns to be in charge and exchange and learn. Teachers, please don't be secretive. If you have any secret prescriptions, please bring them out. We will record them and compile a medical classic for the benefit of our future generations. In the medical classic, I will leave your names, so that you will be famous for eternity!"
The ancients treasured their secret skills and were reluctant to pass them on to others even if they had some skills.
Ye Kun appealed to their emotions, explained their reasoning, and lured them with benefits:
"As long as the prescription is effective and has been verified through actual treatment, we will reward it. One prescription will give us 50 kilograms of rice, and we will never owe you money! We will retain all the teachers with good medical skills and give them a good salary!"
At this time, there was a shortage of food, and the doctors were not full, so they all stood up and said, "Don't worry, Master Ye, we will sort out the folk remedies for you."
Ye Kun nodded and smiled: "Now, please ask all teachers to move to the nursing home and military hospital for a visit and guidance."
Everyone stood up and went to the nearby military camp hospital with Ye Kun.
The hospital and the wards are clean and tidy.
The wounded were also very quiet, without the wailing or screaming as one might have imagined.
Military doctors introduced the conditions and treatment plans of each case to civilian doctors and exchanged ideas with each other.
Ye Kun took Guan Yafu and his son to visit the wounded one by one.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
The guard came to report: "Lord Ye, the plowing tools you requested have been delivered to Shilipu outside the city, and the craftsmen are waiting for you."
"Prepare the horses. I'll go and see."
Ye Kun nodded and asked the doctors to stay for dinner. He then said to Guan Yafu and his son, "Master Guan, let's go to Shilipu for dinner. If you are hungry, eat some dry food first."
Guan Yafu shook his head: "Not hungry!"
Ye Kun went out, mounted his horse and headed straight for Shilipu.
This is Ye Kun’s agricultural experimental field, which has 300 acres of arable land, including paddy fields, dry land and vegetable fields.
Everyone is eating, bacon, wild vegetables and brown rice porridge.
When they saw Ye Kun, everyone stood up and saluted.
"Everyone, please feel free to continue eating."
Ye Kun waved his hand and ordered his personal soldiers: "Go and get us three bowls of porridge, we can eat and talk at the same time."
The craftsmen had already eaten and came over to explain the situation to Ye Kun.
This time, Ye Kun designed a human-powered plow, and today is the day to test this new product.
The design of the new product is equivalent to a hand-pushed wheelbarrow with a plowshare hanging underneath, and is suitable for soft dry land.
The design standard is for two people to operate and work more than one acre of land per day.
Because there were not enough oxen for plowing, we had to use human labor.
Although it is laborious, it is much faster than digging the field with a shovel.
Ye Kun held the bowl and drank the porridge, letting everyone try it first.
There were two craftsmen, one carrying the rope in front and the other holding the plow behind.
Other blacksmiths, carpenters and farming experts all followed and watched.
Ye Kun looked around, put down his bowl, and went forward to carry the rope himself to see if it was tiring.
After all the back and forth, Ye Kun's forehead was covered with sweat. He stopped to study the product structure and discuss ways to improve it with the craftsmen.
Guan Yafu could not help but said, "Master Ye, it takes at least two people to pull the plow. One person cannot pull it."
"No, I designed this one-wheeled hanging plow to cultivate soft dry land. One person should be enough."
Ye Kun shook his head and explained, "A cow cannot pull a thousand kilograms of cargo on the ground. But if it is loaded on a cart, it can be pulled. This is the function of the wheels. This product can be used if it is further improved."
Mathematician Lao He stepped forward, walked around holding the plow, and suggested:
"Master Ye, we can put the plowshare in the front and the wheels in the back. In this way, the pulling force in the front remains unchanged, but the person holding the plow in the back will give a push. Combining the two will make it very easy. In your case, because the plowshare is in the back, the push from the back will be pushed down through the plowshare and pressed on the land, which will make the person in the front more tired."
Damn, this is not just a mathematician, but also a mechanics expert!
Ye Kun was overjoyed and patted Lao He on the shoulder:
"Old He, I was right. You are right. According to your design, we only need to add a wooden wedge to adjust the depth of the plow shaft!"
