At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

For example, drinking raw water, eating raw food, not paying attention to washing hands before and after meals, these behaviors are strictly prohibited by Guo Peng.

Such small details are really likely to take away a human cub in one wave.

There are also supplements that cannot be eaten randomly. It is much better to run and jump on the ground than to be hugged by a nurse.

Since raising Guo Jin, Guo Peng taught Cao Lan these principles and rules, asking Cao Lan to pay more attention, and also taught the children about hygiene.

This has effectively guaranteed the smooth growth of Guo Peng's children.

And after such rules are extended to localities, we can also see some gratifying results.

Disease enters through the mouth, so not eating and drinking indiscriminately is the most important way to prevent disease from invading.

Guo Peng promulgated detailed and strict health laws, banned the habit of drinking raw water and eating raw food nationwide, and strictly ordered all villages to mobilize and vigorously publicize the bad habit of drinking raw water and eating raw food.

In Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Jiangdong, coastal areas rich in seafood, the traditional custom of eating raw food has long existed.

Someone from Guo sent a special person here to publicize the terrible consequences of eating raw food and drinking water on a large scale and intensively, linking eating raw food and drinking water with the plague for publicity.

Use brainwashing information bombardment to launch a blow to these stereotypes.

So over the years, the phenomenon of eating raw food and drinking raw water has been greatly reduced in the vast rural areas.

Many people don't understand why Guo Peng went to such a large scale to ban eating raw food and drinking water, and even linked these two behaviors with the plague, but Guo Peng did just that.

Just with the gradual popularization of iron pots, the cooking method of high-fire cooking is also gradually promoted, which will make it easier for people to eat delicious cooked food.

Guo Peng was also the first emperor to explicitly prohibit large-scale hunting of wild animals across the country.

He personally ordered that the grassroots management of all villages strictly control the grassroots households. Private hunting is not allowed, let alone eating wild animals. Once found, they will be severely punished.

Guo not only forbids the private hunting of wild animals, but also does not allow official hunting of wild animals. Unless the wild animals invade the place and do harm to people, the grassroots government will organize a team to kill and drive away the wild animals.

Regarding the implementation of this decree, Guo Peng also made some considerations.

Out of the need to develop and increase food, humans have had the custom of gathering large groups of military forces to hunt and kill wild animals since ancient times. This has happened since the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

But he also knew that the large and small-scale plagues that have occurred repeatedly over the long years are infectious diseases. Biochemical attacks are naturally impossible, and the viruses and bacteria must come from nature.

Wild animals obtained after hunting are an important source.

The ancients lacked meat, and it is also a tradition for people to go hunting in groups to obtain meat. This is not a problem in itself, but how to eat after hunting wild animals is a major hidden danger.

Cooked food is indeed the mainstream, but how to cook it and whether it is thoroughly cooked is hard to say.

Even if the chance of being recruited is only one percent, it is still very dangerous to eat the problematic animal meat.

Once you are recruited, well, the infection has begun, and the plague has begun.

The ancients did not know that there are many terrible viruses and bacteria on the beasts. They are fine by themselves and can coexist with viruses and bacteria, but people are different.

There are already many plagues recorded in the history books, and there will only be more plagues that have not been recorded.

That is to say, in this era, people are generally bound to the land, and social mobility is far less than modern times, so the damage caused by a plague in a peaceful age will not be great, but Guo has vigorously expanded the main traffic lines. Once a plague occurs, the intensity of infection will definitely not be great. light.

In order to prevent problems before they happen, someone Guo must use his strong control over the grassroots to make targeted changes.

Whether it is isolation, eating cooked food and drinking cooked water, or not defecating indiscriminately, these are all ways to effectively promote the improvement of hygiene conditions.

The average life expectancy is slowly rising amidst such bit by bit changes.

The people do have dissatisfaction and resistance to this. Mr. Guo doesn't care. He mobilizes the grassroots government to vigorously publicize it, and at the same time legislates to punish it severely. ,fine.

After a series of heavy punishments, from the establishment of Duke Wei to the end of the second year of Yande, the number of people punished every year for not complying with the sanitation law has been greatly reduced.

The number of reports of infectious disease trends by local governments is also decreasing year by year.

With coercion on the one hand and propaganda on the other, Guo is indeed working hard to change this era.

For the people, but also for themselves, for the family.

It is very difficult to get everyone to do the same, but you can't stop doing it because you feel that you can't cover everything.

Good fighters have no illustrious feats.

Someone Guo didn't want to be the one who turned the tide.

He didn't want to show his strong mobilization ability to remedy the incident after it happened. If possible, he wanted to nip the signs before the incident happened.

Years of persistence have also prevented large-scale infectious diseases from occurring under his rule.

But small-scale ones still exist, but they were stopped by the timely isolation actions of well-trained grassroots officials.

According to the statistics afterwards, most of the people have not found the reason, but the people are almost dead, but there are still a small number of people who were discovered because they secretly went up the mountain to hunt and ate animal meat.

Mr. Guo has no better way. It is really impossible to control everyone. We can only increase the intensity of punishment.

Even so, if someone can make statistics, they can find that the average life expectancy of the Wei Empire at this moment has surpassed that of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In fact, it is also very simple to increase the average life expectancy, as long as there is no war.

In the hot spring pool, someone Guo hugged his youngest son, Guo Yu, and asked Guo Jin and Guo Jun to hug their two seven-year-old younger brothers, plus Guo Qiong and Guo Hu, two ten-year-old adults. There were seven fathers and sons. Take a hot spring together and enjoy a rare reunion.

Ask Guo Jin to talk about some things he encountered when he was in charge of politics, test Guo Jun's homework, and ask Guo Jin and Guo Jun to test the homework of several younger brothers.

Then Guo Peng became interested and wanted to compete with Guo Jin and Guo Jun to see who had stronger arms, so he compared push-ups by the hot spring pool.

"Let's do it together, call the number for the father, call one to do one, and see who of us can last the longest. You two young people, don't even compare to being a father."

Guo Peng raised his arm, showing off his strong muscles.

Guo Jin and Guo Jun immediately showed their relatively well-developed muscles unconvinced.

Guo Jun's is slightly weaker. He just started a high-protein, low-carb diet and hasn't started systematic strength training yet. Guo Jin's muscle group is very good. It seems that the high-protein, low-carb diet and strength training plan Played a very good effect.

So the power competition between the father and son began like this, and the remaining four young sons stayed in the hot spring pool and watched curiously the decisive battle between the two elder brothers and their father.

"Go! One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven!"

Guo Peng was doing push-ups while shouting slogans, and his two sons followed suit, competing with each other in terms of arm strength and endurance, and how tough they are as a man.

At about fifty, Guo Jun was a little out of strength, and at seventy, Guo Jun was completely paralyzed on the ground and could not get up.

So the competition between father and son Guo Peng and Guo Jin was left.

"Eighty, 81, 82..."

"97, 98, 99..."

"110 six, 110 seven, 110 eight..."

When it was close to 150, Guo Jin couldn't keep up with the speed and frequency, and Guo Peng also felt tired, but both of them continued to do it.

When it reached 170, Guo Jin's breathing speed told Guo Peng that he couldn't hold it anymore.

173, Guo Jin was completely paralyzed on the ground, gasping for breath, but Guo Peng was still holding on.

This father-son battle ended with Guo Peng successfully preserving his father's dignity.

Chapter 962. 970 Two Have you thought about what to do with the children in the future?

Guo Jun first watched his father and elder brother compete with each other to the level of 170 with a face full of disbelief, and then his father insisted on completing two hundred rounds before stopping.

Is it too strong?

Guo Jun looked at her father with admiration.

Someone Guo enjoys this feeling very much.

"It seems that you haven't exercised enough. Young people in their teens and 20s are in their best health. The result is not as good as being a father. He is a 40-year-old father. You have to work harder. Otherwise, if you still can’t compete when your father is 50 years old, it will be bad, hahahahahaha!”

A father-son competition made Guo Peng feel refreshed, and he felt that such things could happen several times in the future.

After a short rest, Guo Peng went to the hot spring again, holding his young sons in his arms and taking them to stretch in the hot spring water, fulfilling his father's responsibilities a little bit.

After having had enough fun, Guo Peng and Guo Jin leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool together, and looked at Guo Jun who was playing with his younger brothers in the water, and smiled together.

After a while, Guo Jin looked at Guo Peng.

"The father always told his son that there is no blood relationship in the Tian family, but the father will always try his best to care for the younger siblings. The father will personally test the homework of the younger siblings in school, and will also take time to accompany them to eat and celebrate festivals together. I will also go to visit, and I will also worry and worry...Father, shouldn't the Tian family really have blood ties?"

Guo Peng turned his head to look at Guo Jin and smiled.

"People are not grass, and their hearts are not iron. How can they be ruthless? It's just that the higher the status, the higher the cost of using affection. Your identity, your status, and your power all determine that it will be more difficult and more difficult for you to use affection than others. Danger, if you make a mistake, you will have to pay a greater price.

In other words, if you have no feelings and treat everyone the same, like heaven and earth, and treat everything like a dog, you will become a great monarch, but after all, we are not gods, we are human beings, and we are human beings. emotion. "

Guo Peng held Guo Jin's hand underwater.

"To be an emperor, you have to be as cold and ruthless as a stone, but your hands are always warm. There is no absolute thing in the world. This question cannot be answered by a father. As a father, I can only tell you that the emperor must be ruthless. Humans cannot be ruthless."

Guo Jin pursed her lips and stared deeply at her father.

"It's very difficult."

"Of course it's difficult, that's why there is only one emperor in the world."

Guo Peng took a deep breath: "My father will never know the answer to this question in his whole life, and neither will you. Don't pursue the answer. There are many things that have no answer. Go experience it and find your own insights in the process."

Patting the back of his hand, Guo Peng smiled and stood up and walked to where the children were, picked up the youngest son and played with him, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Guo Jin watched the scene in front of her quietly, recalling what Guo Peng said just now, and gradually, a smile appeared on her face.

When eating that night, Guo Peng personally held his eldest grandson, who was only over one year old, with joy on his face.

The little grandson is still young, so he didn't have a real name, only a nickname of "Akang".

The third generation of the Guo family has been born, Guo Jin's position as the prince is completely stable and unshakable, and Guo Peng has finally been promoted to be a grandfather.

In April of the second year of Yande, the eldest grandson was born. At that time, a certain Guo was not yet 40 years old, but he became a grandfather in the end. It was a strange feeling.

Anyway, in his previous life, Guo Peng certainly never thought that he would have what he is today, but since it happened now, someone Guo is happy with it.

The Confucian tradition holds grandchildren but not sons, and pays attention to a grandchildren who are fond of grandchildren, be kind to grandsons, and strictly control sons.

Mr. Guo doesn't care about this, whether it is a son or a grandson, he should be hugged and restrained, and his youngest son is only four or five years older than his grandson, so it doesn't feel too much difference.

After having dinner happily, they sent the children and other concubines back to their respective rooms to rest. Guo Peng also took Cao Lan back to the private space belonging to their husband and wife.

A concubine is a concubine after all, no matter how favored he is, he is a concubine after all, not a husband and wife.

Cao Lan is the only official wife of Guo, and Cao Lan is the queen of the Wei Empire. This will not change.

So no matter what, Cao Lan always has a fixed amount of time alone with Guo Peng, which is a special treatment that other concubines do not have.

No matter how many times I go to the harem every month, there are always certain days that belong to Cao Lan and not to anyone else.

Guo Peng has a deep affection for his wife, whom he has been with since the age of 15.

"In a blink of an eye, Ah Jin has grown up so much, and our little grandson has been born, Peng Lang, we are all old."

Lying on the bed, Cao Lan still snuggled into Guo Peng's arms as before. This habit has not changed for many years.

Guo Peng smiled and patted Cao Lan on the back.

"We've been married for almost 25 years, right? It should be that time, when we have A Jin? I think A Kang was born a bit late. If I became emperor, A Kang would have been born ,that would be nice."

"All the good things in the world can't be taken up by our family, right? Our children are safe and healthy so far, and none of them died. I'm thankful."

Cao Lan said with a smile: "It is my greatest wish for the children to grow up safely."

"Yeah, that's enough."

Guo Peng also nodded slightly.

The two were silent for a while.

"Peng Lang, Ah Jun and the others are growing up gradually. Have you thought about what to do with the children in the future? They have learned a lot, and you have high demands on them. Learning literature and martial arts, increasing their knowledge, they... ...what to do?"

Cao Lan raised her head slightly and looked at Guo Peng.

Guo Peng didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while.

"Alan, you know me. Since I have chosen Ajin to be the prince, I will not choose another child. Ajin's position is already stable. Choosing another child will only add to the chaos."

"I know, but Peng Lang, A Jun, and A Qiong are all your sons."

Cao Lan looked at Guo Peng with some worry: "Haven't you ever considered them? What they can do and what they should do in the future, don't you think about it, only A Jin?"

"Of course I thought about them, so I don't do anything specifically for them, it's what's best for them."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Some people want me to crown them kings, and some people want me to give them the real power of the territory and let them be the princes and kings that Liu Bang entrusted, with military power, political power and financial power.
