The most arrogant in history

Chapter 348: Cemetery of Meritorious Service.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Master Qin, I bet that we can kill this pig by cutting the aorta in its leg with a small knife."

Qin Chou shook his head repeatedly: "Absolutely impossible, I have never seen a pig being slaughtered like this!"

"Then let's see."

Ye Kun was very confident because the pig had been starved for two days and then fed with pig feed mixed with a large amount of willow bark boiled water.

Willow bark boiled in water contains salicylic acid, the active ingredient in aspirin.

This thing is an anticoagulant!

The fat pig's blood has been diluted. If the aorta is cut, how can it survive?

Sure enough, Zhou Ding, the chief military doctor, used a doctor's scalpel, only three inches long, to cut the pig's leg artery. A few minutes later, the fat pig bled to death.

Qin Chou was dumbfounded.

Zhou Ding clasped his fists towards Ye Kun and said, "The King of Hanzhong is well versed in ancient and modern knowledge and has extraordinary insights. If the aorta is cut, the pig will die. I guess humans are like pigs, and their aortas cannot be touched."

The doctors also admired Ye Kun very much.

Ye Kun nodded and said, "So when I first set up the military hospital, I told everyone that if there is heavy bleeding in the limbs, it must be bandaged from the proximal end. The blood supply mechanism of humans and pigs and dogs is the same, both are supplied by the heart..."

Then, Ye Kun asked the doctors to cut off various tissues of the fat pig and observe them under a microscope.

Qin Chou was curious, so he leaned over to take a look and exclaimed, "Oh my god, this is what pig skin looks like!"

Under the microscope, the pig's hair is as thick as giant trees, and the pig's skin is full of grooves.

Ye Kun guided everyone to observe and learn about the pig's mammary glands and tadpoles...

Some female military doctors at the scene blushed with shame.

It was only after seven or eight days that I officially began to study human anatomy.

In the secret room, Ye Kun led everyone to bow and salute the 'cadaver teacher', and then performed the operation himself, setting an example for everyone.

This cadaver teacher was a miner. He fell ill and was treated in Chengdu, but later died.

Regarding human anatomy, Ye Kun ordered that it be kept highly confidential to avoid causing public discussion.

People can enjoy the medical benefits brought by vascular and skeletal maps, but they may not necessarily understand Ye Kun’s painstaking efforts.

It’s the twelfth lunar month again in all the busyness.

Ye Kun went to Deyang to visit Wei Caiqin and Wei Ning.

Wei Ning was in good spirits. He spent the whole day singing to the wind and moon, leisurely enjoying himself, drinking wine and tasting tea. He was very happy.

Wei Caiqin was also in a good mood.

Because Ye Kun had already sent her a telescope and a microscope, as well as a hot pot and a coal stove, so that she had something to play with.

During the night break, Wei Caiqin hugged Ye Kun's arm and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, is there anything I can help you with, or something I can do to help you?"

After moving to Deyang for two years, Wei Caiqin also felt that she should do something.

Wei Caiqin is an active person and can't sit still.

It just so happened that Ye Kun’s ideas were very advanced and he encouraged women to participate in social work.

Ye Kun's army doctors, nurses, and militia captains all had many women. Chengdu also set up a special "Women's Service Center" to be responsible for women's work throughout the territory.

"You want to come out and do something too?"

Ye Kun was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Women can hold up half the sky. How about this? I will let you be responsible for the women's work in Chongqing and the surrounding counties."

Wei Caiqin was delighted and asked, "What are women's main responsibilities?"

"It means understanding women's living conditions, protecting their rights, improving their lives as much as possible, cultivating their independent spirit, teaching them skills or techniques, and letting them live with dignity and live happier! In short, as long as it is women's business, you can take care of it."

"Not bad, not bad, I like this job very much!"

Wei Caiqin was extremely happy and impatient: "When will I take office? Can I have a meeting with the government? What rank will I be? How much salary will I get?"

"Look, I asked you to work for women all over the world, but you want to become an official and make a fortune." Ye Kun smiled and scratched Wei Caiqin's nose:

"You can set up a special office in Chongqing, but you can't hold meetings. You won't have any rank or salary, because you are already my wife, and you were canonized by the court, so you already have a rank and salary."

"Then you need to give me a few men, right? And travel expenses."

"That's fine." Ye Kun nodded:

"You can recruit talented and virtuous people to help you, but the number cannot exceed one hundred. You can appoint people in charge of women's affairs in all counties and prefectures. The office expenses will be allocated to you from Chongqing Prefecture. If you need disaster relief, you need to report to Hou Qi and grant funds according to Chongqing's financial situation."

Today's Yizhou is roughly divided into three major areas: Chengdu, Chongqing and Hanzhong.

Because of Ye Kun's intentional support, Chongqing's economy is actually better than Chengdu's.

Just allocate some money and let Wei Caiqin do whatever she wants.

Wei Caiqin rubbed her hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Ye, I will definitely do this job well."

"But don't be too extravagant. I don't have much money."

"What are you afraid of? I have a dowry!" Wei Caiqin giggled.

As the daughter of Wei Dingshan, Wei Caiqin is considered a royal family and usually spends money lavishly.

If you ask her to save money, it will probably be difficult for her to do so.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Remember, if you want to spend money, spend it on the poor. Don't be stupid and give money to those wealthy farms."

"remember!"

"That's good. When I have time, I will write you a set of guidelines for women's work, and you will work within these guidelines."

Ye Kun was still worried about Wei Caiqin.

With her personality, she would feel soft-hearted when she saw the poor, and then spend money lavishly, and could squander Chongqing’s finances in a year.

So we have to limit it.

A few days later, Wei Caiqin took office.

Ye Kun also returned to Chengdu to preside over various sacrificial activities at the end of the year.

Logically speaking, the first thing to do is to offer sacrifices to the successive kings of the Da Ding Kingdom, and then to the Confucian and Taoist sages.

But Ye Kun was different. He first offered sacrifices to the soldiers who died in the battle.

On Longquan Mountain, there is a "Merit Cemetery" where soldiers and generals who died in battles in recent years are buried. There are thousands of tombs.

These soldiers were all from Chengdu. After dying in battle, they were buried here.

There is also a large "Gonglie Village" near the Gonglie Cemetery.

Hundreds of villagers, including parents and children of soldiers who died in the war, and some soldiers who were disabled in the battle, live here with their families.

In Yizhou, Gonglie Village has the best conditions.

There are rows of brick and tile houses and neat and spacious stone roads.

Every household has a well, a kitchen, a pigpen, a chicken coop, a small fish pond, and various furniture and daily necessities.

And there is the best primary school and the best medical room here.

The villagers here are exempt from all taxes, and have free education and free medical care.

There are condolences during every festival, as well as monthly pensions, support for the elderly, and child support.

The local garrison is often organized to do voluntary labor in Gonglie Village, and the song and dance troupe comes here three times a year to give consolation performances.

All expenses are funded by the government.

It can be said that the villagers of Gonglie Village are the first group of people in Yizhou to achieve a well-off life.

Ye Kun treats Gonglie Village well in order to improve the status and honor of soldiers, so that everyone can fight with confidence and dare to fight!

In the morning, we paid homage to the cemetery and fired thirty-six cannon shots.

Ye Kun personally poured wine for the sacrifice, read the sacrificial text, and asked civil and military officials to present pine and cypress branches and flowers.

Then, Ye Kun brought senior military generals to visit and comfort the Gonglie Village, and distributed a batch of brown sugar, honey, refined salt, jerky, and wheat flour as gifts of comfort.
