[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

Because of the miscommunication of the information, and Xia Anran's over-emphasis on the harassment of the Japanese pirates, he was in a state of anxiety because of Shen Qi's move.

Yongchun County has already entered the cheerful atmosphere of the autumn harvest, which makes him feel a little out of place.

People may have two reactions when they are in a state of anxiety. One is to turn around, the mind is in chaos, and they can't think of what to do first and what to do next, but Xia Anran belongs to another type.

He belongs to the type that the greater the pressure, the more stable the heart.

What he can use under his command are ten servants in the county government office and three relatives of relatives. The county magistrate has always been more cooperative with his work, which can be regarded as a available force. In addition, he can also hire people with money.

There are not many people, let alone chaos.

Xia Anran first went to the ceramic shop in the county to order a set of distillation equipment.

Distillation is naturally better with glass, but the glass manufacturing industry in this dynasty is not yet developed. Even if it is developed, it is impossible to find such a craftsman in a small county. But even so, the craftsman showed a embarrassed look after reading his drawings , In terms of plasticity, ceramics are far inferior to glass, so if you want to use ceramics to make water inlets and outlets, it is not impossible to make, but it is too difficult and the failure rate is also high.

Xia Anran was not worried about this, he patiently listened to the difficult points, and after discussing with the craftsman, he decided to build a big one. The most troublesome thing about distillation is condensation, so he built a shelf and put the equipment on it, made of ceramics. The condenser tube is simply placed in the water basin, and the water can be changed directly to cool down.

While waiting for the craftsman to make this equipment, he also asked someone to buy resin.

Because there is an urgent problem that needs to be solved is the sealing problem.

If the sealing cannot be done, then there will be a lot of waste in the distillation process. In fact, the best raw material is rubber, but of course he can't find rubber, and rubber is still in South America at this time.

After thinking hard, the substitute he found was resin.

It’s just that resin generally has a low melting point, but fortunately, the craftsman said that he can make it into the state of the water outlet of the kettle. In this way, when the second-section pipe is connected, because it is directly placed in cold water, the temperature will not easily reach the melting temperature of the resin.

And because what Xia Anran needs to extract is ethanol, the boiling point of ethanol does not reach [-] degrees, and it can be obtained at [-] or [-] degrees. As long as the temperature is controlled well and resin is used as a sealing adhesive, it is theoretically feasible.

Yes, he was going to do alcohol.

Alcohol is what has to be done if war is to be fought.

In fact, the distillation equipment has existed since ancient times, and the method of making liquor is obtained from the distillation method. Xia Anran wrote the list before he was ready to do it.

This dynasty did not strictly control the wine industry, especially in the southern grain-producing areas.

Xia Anran made a statement to say that, as the local county magistrate, he can do many things cheaply, especially if he doesn't intend to produce them for sale.

Then he bought some local red wine out of his own pocket as raw material.

The red wine here is not the red wine of the later generations, but red yeast rice was added to the local wine making, so the wine is clear and clear reddish brown. After a period of time, the wine will turn into rose red, which is very beautiful. Beautiful, and the taste is also very mellow.

But the embarrassment is that the wine made in Yongchun County is not distilled wine, so the alcohol content is relatively low, and red yeast rice is added as raw materials, these wines are undoubtedly unqualified, but he is pressed for time. It must be too late to buy white wine. Using other people's wine to extract high-concentration ethanol is already a shortcut, and it's his fault that he didn't think of these things before.

While waiting for craftsmen to make distillation equipment, he was not idle. He went to the cloth shop to buy the cheapest cloth, and asked someone to cut it into a triangle shape.

It is the triangular scarf widely used in later generations.

Xia Anran learned the triangular scarf bandaging method when she was a child in a hobby class, and her memory is a bit vague, but she probably knows something about it.In addition, he also prepared some stretchers made of bamboo branches, and strange-looking snares.

The craftsmen he recruited didn't know what the county magistrate was going to do, but the county magistrate gave the money readily, and he didn't ask for knowledge, so he made them one by one according to the pattern.

What Xia Anran made was actually a Brown frame.

Brown's frame is modern and does not appear in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is a relatively easy-to-use equipment for professional medical staff, especially orthopedic surgeons. It can mainly reduce the pain rate of fractures around the joints, and can also use traction technology Fix the wound and reduce the disability rate.

The general principle is that two pulleys with heavy objects are used to lift the patient's knee position through the force of the fixed pulley. This is mainly for trauma at the joints, because the ordinary binding fixation on the joints is weak, and it is easy to cause secondary injuries. harm.

For soldiers, fractures are very easy injuries.

Just considering that more people should have minor injuries, and it happens that there should not be many joint injuries, so he only did two.

This thing occupies a small area, is convenient to transport, and the craftsmanship is not complicated, so he put most of his energy into making the stretcher.

In ancient warfare, there was no concept of medical soldiers.

At this time, when the two armies are fighting, there is no consciousness not to kill the medical soldiers, and the medical soldiers do not have the lofty consciousness like the future. They can save both the enemy and ourselves. Now if someone saves people on the battlefield, it is appropriate to only save their own people. The enemy made up the knife.

And this is generally the post-war cleanup of the winning side.

There are many soldiers who died directly on the battlefield, but more of them fell on the battlefield after losing their combat capabilities, or were infected and forgotten after being injured.

In this regard, Xia Anran didn't have any more ideas besides knowing about alcohol disinfection, bandaging first aid and making a stretcher. The stretcher is to prevent secondary injuries. It is very dangerous for the wounded to faint on the battlefield. Shock is a human body. Self-protection, but under the current medical conditions, if you go into shock, you may not be able to wake up.

In order to avoid triggering the body's self-protection, it is important not to burden the wounded.

He retrieved the triangular scarf, found Shen Qi's personal guards, and taught him how to bandage it carefully. Shen Qi is located in the central administrative region of Fujian, which is richer than Yongchun County and has a large population, so Xia Anran does not care. I am worried that he will not be able to buy fabrics there, and the triangle scarf is easy to cut, and only the most common fabric is needed.

The price of ordinary cloth in this dynasty is already very cheap, so the cost is not high.

He wrote down some key points, including some basic ways to stop bleeding, and asked the soldiers to take them with him.

The next thing to do is... to order a special steamer.

As seen in film and television dramas, in fact, people in this era already vaguely have the concept of disinfection, but today’s disinfection is very rough. Generally, they take water to rinse, or take a knife and dagger to bake on the fire to complete the disinfection. .

Of course, they didn't know that this was disinfection, but someone first discovered that the chance of pus would be reduced after doing this, so they did it.

But doing this naturally cannot kill all the viruses, and it has great limitations, such as gauze, clothes and so on, you can't use fire to bake them, and steam sterilization is necessary at this time.

When Xia Anran was looking for a craftsman, he specifically said that the steamer he wanted was of a rotating style, that is, twisting the body of the steamer at the entrance, it can be inserted into the gap at the bottom, instead of the ordinary steamer that is usually buckled. The reason for doing this is to ensure tightness.

The temperature of steam is generally more than 100 degrees, but when the pressure increases, the boiling point of water will also increase. If the pressure is sufficient, the temperature of water vapor can reach about 120 degrees.

In this high temperature environment, most of the common bacteria and highly heat-resistant spores can be killed in about ten to twenty minutes. This is because a part of the bacteria is protein, and the protein will be denatured and inactivated at high temperature. .

This is also a more commonly used disinfection method in modern times, and it is also a method commonly used in hospitals to treat bedding for patients with common diseases.

Xia Anran understands this, because his classmate was admitted to the hospital due to an accident, and when he came back, he complained that the bedding in the hospital was not very clean, and he could see strange things!

It is true that there may be blood stains or various stains from previous patients on the bedding in the hospital, but this does not mean that the bedding is not clean.

When many people see this situation, they think that the quilt has not been washed, and mistakenly think that the quilt has viruses and bacteria. In fact, the hospital adopts high-pressure steam disinfection method when treating ordinary wards.

It is true that the bedding has not been washed clean, because most of them will not be cleared with bleach, so various marks are left, but medically speaking, there are no viruses and bacteria, it is clean.

And to some extent, for patients, a piece of gauze that has been autoclaved but not washed is more hygienic than a piece of gauze that has been washed and dried in the sun.

Xia Anran didn't know how much airtightness could be achieved in this era, and he didn't dare to pressurize too much, for fear that the internal pressure would explode.

Later he found out that it was really worrying.

Although the craftsman has done it very carefully, and set up a plug that can be pulled remotely according to his requirements to discharge the steam. After covering it with cotton cloth, it has indeed reached a sealed state, but there is still a long way to go from the fryer. ——Because of the small slit, it is still inevitable.

Just as the craftsmen delivered their products one after another, he also welcomed the invitation from the magistrate of Yongchun Prefecture.

The magistrate of Yongchun Prefecture is one of his immediate superiors. According to the local official titles of this dynasty, Xia Anran is the magistrate of a county, and the head of the county is the prefecture/prefecture, and the boss of the prefecture is the fifth-rank magistrate.

The relationship between prefectures and counties is jurisdictional. Take Yongchun Prefecture as an example. There are eight other counties on the same level as Xia Anran.

Generally speaking, it is rare for a prefect to ask the county magistrate directly for questioning. Usually, the government orders issued by the central government are transmitted from top to bottom. If there is no major event, it is enough to visit Zhizhou every six months.

Xia Anran naturally didn't panic, he tidied up his clothes, didn't ride a horse, prepared some books and today's meal and snacks made by the cook, and walked along the street to the other end.

Um?Didn't I say that?The state government office of Yongchun Prefecture is located in Yongchun County, but the county office and government office are at both ends of a street.

Moreover, the state capital of Yongchun Prefecture is also an acquaintance of Xia Anran.

Unimpeded all the way into the government office, Xia Anran was ushered into the backyard study, obviously this is not a formal meeting.

Xia Anran's heart, which was not too flustered, immediately became more stable.

He handed the basket to the yamen servant at the side, shook his sleeves, bowed and bowed, "Xia Anran, I have met Mr. Su."

"Jingxi." Su Qiming, who was reading the document quietly, raised his head and saw the person coming, he closed the document with a smile and waved his hands, "Your boy has been making a lot of noise recently, come on, tell me, what have you been doing lately?" .”

Xia Anran responded respectfully, then moved closer, raised her round face and smiled a little obsequiously.

Su Qiming, courtesy name Henggong.

Why do the two look familiar?Lord Gainsu used to be the county magistrate of Gusu, thanks to Xia Anran's blessing, he got a high-ranking evaluation back then, and got into the eyes of the emperor, so he was promoted all the way.

The author has something to say: Xia Miao: Are you surprised?So being kind to people is very important.

Emperor: No, I did it. (a bit flattered)

Author:??? Isn't it me? ? ?
