Chapter 379: Treat Everyone Equally
At the same time, everyone understood what Bai Youkang meant. That's right, Taohua Village can actually just take care of the people in its own village.
Now Taohua Village has arranged people to come. Although every household is required to send someone to participate in dealing with the epidemic, it also proves that Taohua Village treats them as their own people.
Whether for themselves or their families, the people from the upper and lower villages had no reason to refuse, otherwise they would not be qualified to be a vassal of Taohua Village in the future.
At this time, Bai Youkang pointed to the things on the pack truck and said, "There are medicines on the truck that have a certain effect on diseases and epidemics. They are in green packaging. Start drinking them today, twice a day."
"The red package is for drinking when you are sick. Someone will teach you how to take it. You can bring your household registration slip to collect it later."
If there were someone with a little medical knowledge at this time, they would definitely curse and blame him for not having any contact with the disease, and starting to prescribe medicine without knowing the symptoms.
It’s not that no one in Taohua Village has this common sense, but they have unconditional trust in Miss Bai Tao.
Since my aunt said these medicines are effective, they must be effective. Regardless of whether outsiders believe it or not, the entire Taohua Village firmly believes it.
During epidemics, medicines are so precious. If our aunt can give them to you, I’m afraid your ancestors’ graves will be filled with sorrow.
In a word, believe it if you want to, and forget it if you don’t!
Bai Youkang: "But I'm putting it out there. If you don't want to, don't take the medicine. If anything happens to your family, don't expect us to be the one asking for help."
Once these words were spoken, many people dispelled the idea of retreating.
If you are rejected by Taohua Village, it means you will lose the qualification to live in Junji Town.
They all have families to support. Although they are afraid of death, they are more afraid of bringing trouble to their families.
They had finally managed to settle down and live in Junji Town, and their lives seemed to be getting better day by day. If they were expelled from Junji Town, they really didn't know what to do.
Firstly, they have no foundation, and secondly, those who have some savings will be eaten to the bone once they are driven out of Junji Town.
Bai Youkang finished speaking, and then added earnestly: "I know you are not cowards. After all, if you are really afraid of death, you can't follow our village all the way."
"When we were cleaning up the battlefield, there were so many dead, but you didn't show any weakness. It's just some diseases. As long as you pay attention to protection, there won't be any problem."
As he said these words, the people present thought of the original scene and couldn't help but smile.
Everyone had a bit of a look on their faces. That was because they were not scared by the dead. At that time, everyone was afraid that they would be slow and earn less money...
"As long as we stop outsiders from coming in, our families back home will be safe..."
Bai Youkang took out his notebook and began to read out some measures to prevent disease and epidemic: "Wash your hands frequently, boil your clothes in hot water to disinfect them, sprinkle quicklime on the streets..."
In ancient times, all kinds of cultural knowledge were blocked, and poor people had no chance to learn any knowledge at all.
No one would unconditionally share precious knowledge that could save lives, such as disease prevention and epidemic prevention, so when Bai Youkang talked about this, everyone present pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
After all, if you remember this kind of knowledge, it becomes yours, which is equivalent to having an extra life.
Bai Youkang finished reading all the measures to prevent and control the epidemic on the paper, folded the paper and put it in his arms, then looked at everyone and said, "Okay, does anyone have any different opinions?"
Everyone present looked at each other, and no one said a word.
Bai Youkang nodded and asked, "Okay, is there anyone who doesn't want to participate?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads one after another.
Everyone thought, with medicine and rigorous disease prevention and control measures, as long as they are implemented seriously, there shouldn't be too much danger, right? !
Bai Youkang: "Very good! Since everyone has no objection and no unwillingness, I hope everyone can be more active next time." At this time, Zhou Yang spoke up: "Master Bai, I want to ask, what should I do if there are no young and strong men in the family?"
In Shangcun, several families lost their men while fleeing the famine.
Kong Daming also nodded in agreement. There were also several families in the lower village who did not have young and strong men.
Bai Youkang said without thinking: "The women in the family also count."
"Men and women are equal. Women in our village also participate in the work. They cook, deliver things, clean, and boil medicine. These tasks all require a lot of manpower."
When the people from the upper and lower villages heard that all the women in Taohua Village were like this, they had even less to say.
Taohua Village is impartial and treats everyone equally!
If the people who came were not from Taohua Village, the women and children who had no young and strong men in their families would probably cry and complain about their difficulties and sorrows.
However, having followed Taohua Village all the way, they have come to understand their style of doing things to some extent. What they say is what they mean, and crying and complaining is useless, so they simply don't waste their energy.
Soon, the villagers lined up with their household registration slips to receive the medicine. Many of them drank the green liquid on the spot after receiving it.
Medicines are usually sour and bitter, but I didn't expect this medicine to taste slightly sweet. It's surprising. Must it contain a lot of sugar? !
Bai Youkang clapped his hands and said, "Time is tight and the task is heavy. I'll give you half an hour to report the list."
"By the way, the candidates for each household must be determined. Once the personnel are selected and arranged, they will not be easily replaced, otherwise it will easily cause cross infection."
Although this made some people feel nervous, there was no room for retreat and they had to bite the bullet and fill in their names.
"Don't worry, you're not that unlucky." Bai Youkang said with a smile.
"Besides, if you take preventive medication in advance and don't do anything rash, and just follow the orders and regulations for disease prevention and epidemic prevention, there won't be any problems."
Although everyone knew that these words were just consolation, Bai Youkang's confident and calm expression also made them relax a little.
At first, many merchants were happy that the shops under the Baijiabao caravan were closing down, but they did not expect that they would be dumbfounded soon.
"What? The Baijiabao caravan has blocked the entrance and exit of Junji Town?!"
"Why are they so overbearing? Even if they have the support of the White Feather Army, they can't be so overbearing. Do they want to let people live?!"
"What? There's a disease?!!!"
"Is this news true or false? Where did it come from?"
When they heard that the news came from the Baijiabao caravan, and that Junji Town now only allowed people to leave but not enter, no one doubted the authenticity of the news.
Everyone suddenly realized.
"No wonder the Baijiabao caravan closed all the shops without saying a word."
"Just like that, there's no way I'd let go of a good business."
There is one more chapter, which will be posted a little later.
