The most arrogant in history

Chapter 659: Hair-shaving Order.

Lu Yeliang was so frightened that he dared not speak.

Ye Kun looked at Wen Axiu again: "Teacher Wen, you are also responsible for the school work. The sanitation work is really poor."

Wen Axiu sighed, "Your Majesty, I have known about this situation for a long time, and I have repeatedly ordered that students' personal hygiene management should be strengthened. But... it is too difficult to ask everyone to cut their hair and wash their hair frequently."

Confucianism was widely popular and influenced this land for hundreds of years.

It has become a custom for men to grow long hair and beards.

Many people feel that sudden change is a shame.

Ye Kun brings up the same old thing every year, starting with the army, where beards are not allowed and heads are shaved flat as much as possible.

There have been certain effects over the years.

Many soldiers accepted this idea and were willing to shave their heads.

Because a flat head is easier to keep clean, and if you get injured, it is also convenient to treat the wound.

However, when soldiers return to their hometowns, they will be influenced by society and gradually grow their hair back again.

Ye Kun also ordered that all foreign laborers, male, should have short hair and female, should have ponytails or pigtails, in order to change the Chinese people's stubbornness about hair.

In Zhuo County, the effect is quite good.

Half of the young workers have changed their hair to short.

But people with a little status, such as the elderly, still grow their hair long.

Ye Kun also grew his hair long because the Nine Departments did not allow him to have short hair.

Wen Axiu added: "Your Majesty, health education must be universally popularized to be effective. In recent years, it has improved a lot. When Xiahou Chang controlled the Central Plains, the people didn't know what health was at all."

Lu Yeliang also testified: "Master Wen is right. I am much better now. Common people all know that diseases come from the mouth. At the very least, they know to cook food before eating and boil water before drinking."

Ye Kun rolled his eyes in anger.

Thousands of years ago, the ancients knew how to use fire, right?

Did ordinary people only learn to cook food and boil water not long ago?

Wen Axiu smiled and said, "There are special hygiene classes in schools. However, they are not implemented very well. The court can issue an order to attach importance to hygiene classes."

Ye Kun looked at Wen Axiu and said slowly:

"In fact, the court has formulated many policies. We have also been promoting hygiene for several years. Why haven't the people formed hygiene habits? I think it is because there is a lack of grassroots officials who can do practical things. No matter how good the policy is, it will not work if no one implements it.

After all, we still lack practical people like Gongsun Erniang, Ding Ding, He Tiantian, Guan Bao and Guo Ping."

Wen Axiu sighed: "Your Majesty is right, there are still too few practical people at the grassroots level."

Ye Kun added: "Universal sanitation must be promoted. If it is not possible, it should be enforced! For example, we can set up sanitation inspectors on the streets. If we see someone with lice on his head, we can criticize him and see if he is ugly!

In school, set up rewards. Give money to boys who are willing to have short hair! "

A hygiene issue also made Ye Kun anxious.

Wen Axiu nodded: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. When you go back, notify the nine ministries and make a decision."

Ye Kun got up and went to the town's hospital to check.

There are three doctors in the hospital, a male doctor, a female doctor, and a nurse who is also an apprentice.

Ye Kun did not want to reveal his identity, and only took Wen Axiu with him, pretending to be a patient, and walked in, asking, "Is the doctor here? I want to see a doctor."

The doctor's attitude was quite good. He looked at Ye Kun and said, "Sir, you look unfamiliar. You are from another place, right? What's wrong with you?"

Ye Kun rolled up his trouser legs, revealing the scars from his previous battles: "The old injury has come back, and it hurts a lot."

The doctor examined carefully and said:

"Is this an arrow wound, or a penetrating wound? Maybe the wound was not cleaned thoroughly at the time, and something is left inside. It is also possible that the tendons and bones were injured, and the pain will occur when the weather changes. There is no specific medicine at present, and we can only treat the symptoms and apply some pain-relieving ointment or lotion."

Ye Kun felt that this doctor spoke well and was very professional.

In fact, Ye Kun’s old injury on his leg did hurt a little.

The female doctor at the side had already brought the medicinal wine: "Do you want me to apply some medicinal wine on you?"

"Thank you. Please apply some." Ye Kun nodded.

The female doctor stretched out her hand and carefully rubbed the medicinal wine on Ye Kun.

Ye Kun deliberately said: "The world is really good now. In the past, men and women were not allowed to touch each other, and there was never a female doctor treating a man."

The female doctor looked up and frowned, "There were male doctors who treated women in the past. Treating a patient is treating a disease, as long as the problem is cured. Male doctors and female doctors are all the same."

Ye Kun chuckled: "That's true."

After applying the medicinal wine, the female doctor asked again: "A small bottle of medicinal wine, three cents a bottle, do you want to buy a bottle?"

Ye Kun asked: "What ingredients are used to make this medicinal wine?"

"This is safflower oil, which is specially used to relieve pain and stimulate blood circulation. It has a shelf life of one year and can be carried with you."

"Very well, I don't want it."

Ye Kun stood up and threw down two one-cent bills: "This is for my medical expenses this time."

"I will only charge one penny this time."

The female doctor took the penny and returned the other note.

Ye Kun was very satisfied. He invited Song Kai in and said with a smile, "This hospital is pretty good. The doctor's attitude is also good and worthy of praise. Since I'm here, I want to visit the entire hospital."

Song Kai then showed his seal and explained his identity: "This is our emperor, I am Song Kai, the governor of Yanzhou. The emperor is here incognito to check on the medical situation."

The three doctors in the hospital were horrified and bowed together.

"Don't be so polite, doctors. You've done a great job. I'm very satisfied."

Ye Kun clasped his fists in return and asked, "What is the relationship between the three people in your hospital?"

The hospital director replied, "The one who applied the medicine to the emperor just now was my wife. This nurse apprentice is my sister. There are only three of us in the hospital. I am a retired military doctor, and my wife has also participated in medical training courses and studied in obstetrics and gynecology."

“A mom-and-pop shop, very good.”

Ye Kun nodded and asked, "There are more than 10,000 people near this town. There must be a lot of patients, right?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "There are indeed a lot of patients. Sometimes I am too busy to handle them all. But this place is not far from Yanzhou City. Many patients go to the city for treatment. They can be admitted to the big hospitals in the city."

Ye Kun asked again: "How many people ask your wife to deliver their babies?"

"A lot, too. Last year we delivered more than 300 babies. Sometimes we are too busy to handle it all, so we have two midwives to help out."

"Medicines, medicines and some consumables, are you short of them?"

"There is basically no shortage of herbal medicines. Alcohol is delivered once every ten days, which is enough. Gauze and plaster are also sufficient. But some new medicines are not enough. For example, we don't have penicillin for anti-inflammatory purposes. I heard that there are few in Yanzhou City's hospitals."

"Yes, our development is still insufficient, and many things cannot be met for the time being."

Ye Kun sighed, and then encouraged and comforted him: "However, the court has been working hard, and there are plans to set up pharmaceutical factories in large cities with more than 100,000 people. Things will gradually get better in the future."

The female doctor asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the hospitals in Zhuo County in the capital are the best in the country. Can they... cure any disease?"
