I am engaged in construction in Datang

Today is the day for the initial screening of those who sign up to go to sea.

Lin Shuisheng not only signed up himself, but also persuaded a few of his friends who had no financial burden to join in.

This group of people are very good at swimming, so maybe they can be selected.

"If you want to make a living on the sea, you can't do it without good swimming skills." The tall and thin man stood at the front. He looked up at the group of rabble and sighed in his heart.

This part was screened among the civilian population, and the military camp was also screening. The differences between the two groups could be seen at first glance.

Ever since the military camp started training like the one in Nuzhuang, no matter what the situation is, as long as there is an assembly, everyone will consciously line up.

Obedience and discipline have been improved to more than one level.

But this group of people had never received systematic training, so their postures were casual and crooked.

This is the first round of screening. When the two parties merge in the future, there will be a second and third screening.

How many of these people will be left in the end?

"The first test is to run half a lap around the city (about 20km), and the last will be eliminated."

The tall and thin man shouted, "When the whistle in my mouth blows, the game will begin. Each of you has your own number plate."

"Remember not to cheat. If you are caught, not only will you lose your qualification to go to sea, but it will also affect your family's participation in the imperial examinations in the future."

This sentence carries a lot of weight.

If it were half a year ago, no one cared about the imperial examination at all, as it was too far away from them.

But it’s different now!

Everyone is learning pinyin. Many books in the library have pinyin, especially those enlightenment books.

People who are willing to put in the effort can now remember thousands of words.

If they are like this, wouldn't the children in their family who have been attending the No. 1 Affiliated Primary School since childhood learn even more?

Who says that there is no possibility for everyone to take part in the imperial examination in the future?

We all know how to read, maybe I will be the future top scholar!

"Don't worry, my dear. I won't cheat even if I come last."

"Right! Being last in the list is just embarrassing, but cheating will affect the imperial examination!"

"If I cheat, the villagers will beat me to death."

Nowadays, everyone in the village is related by blood. If he cheats, many families in the village will be implicated. If a child cannot become an official because of him, the people in the village will really kill him and throw him into the woods.

After getting everyone's assurance, the tall and thin man stepped aside, put the whistle to his lips and blew it hard.

"Ouch!"

Everyone ran forward like wild horses.

They are just the first batch to be tested, and there will be a second and third batch to come.

Many people signed up, probably because the salary is generous.

Lin Shuisheng was running in the front, followed by his friends. They all had good physical fitness and quickly ran to the first echelon.

More than an hour later, Lin Shuisheng and others who were fast had reached the finish line.

The distance was not short and it was quite torturous to run. I gave up before finishing part of it.

After everyone rested for about half an hour, the second test began.

This is a breath-holding test. Ten people are divided into groups. The top five stay and the bottom five are eliminated.

Fortunately, the groups were divided by random drawing, and Lin Shuisheng and others happened not to be in the same group.

There are only these two tests in the morning, and in the afternoon it is the actual underwater swimming.

The weather in November is freezing cold. If you swim in such conditions, you might catch a cold.

Most of the doctors in the city came, all wearing white coats and hanging gourds.

This eye-catching attire eventually became popular in Chang'an, and doctors would wear white coats whenever they were working.

The rest of the people did not follow suit, for fear that they would delay others from seeking help, which would be a serious sin.

Li Yin and Xiao Xia also came, and they pushed a strange steel and wood house car with a bright red five-pointed star painted on it.

Below the five-pointed star are three big characters "Red Star Society", and below the Red Star Society is a line of small characters "regardless of your wealth, status, or social class, members of the Red Star Society will provide you with humanitarian assistance."

On the other side of the carriage was written 'Chang'an University First Affiliated Hospital Ambulance', and there was a small female logo in the lower right corner, indicating that it was made by a woman.

"This car is pretty good!" Li Yin reached out and patted the car trunk.

She came up with this on the spur of the moment.

Under special circumstances, it can be made airtight and there is a simple operating table inside, where some minor suturing operations can be performed.

A doctor who knew Li Yin came to say hello and took the opportunity to visit the ambulance that the village had built.

Most of these doctors are teaching staff of Chang'an University Medical School. When they are not busy, they will come to give students a couple of classes. The rest of the time, they are immersed in traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine.

Li Yin also hung a small gourd and wore a white coat. Today she was just a pure doctor.

Some people who came to watch the fun also came, but were stopped at the outermost edge by the yamen runners.

"Ouch!"

A whistle blew high into the sky, and a group of men in the competition dived into the water shirtless, each of them swimming forward desperately.

For the entire afternoon, the yamen runners were busy maintaining order, and the doctors were busy treating the drowning man.

Everyone learned artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation taught by Zhuang Shang.

Those who practice medicine must first practice virtue. No doctor would say that he is unwilling to save people in this way.

As for those apprentices who resisted, they would be sent away when they returned.

The ambulance played a big role today, and many medical clinics are envious.

……

Female village.

Li Yin and Xiao Xia were tired after a whole day. They drank their porridge in a few mouthfuls, washed up and went to bed.

"System, does the history book record what month the great epidemic in Guannei Road and Hedong area will occur next year?"

Anything that can be recorded in history books as a major epidemic must not be a small thing.

【None】

[System speculation of a major epidemic in early spring or winter]

Li Yin took a deep breath and sighed.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that plague breaks out at the winter solstice, peaks at the beginning of spring, and ends at Qingming Festival.

She was afraid that there would be signs of the disease this winter and that it would break out completely in the spring of next year. The village had not stopped producing alcohol and soap this year, but the preparations were still insufficient.

"System, exchange all the prescriptions related to the epidemic."

【1】

"Alcohol and soap factories have to run at full capacity, and more masks need to be prepared."

"Tomorrow I will send someone to find out if there are any signs of the disease anywhere."

"No, I have to write it down."

Li Yin climbed out of bed, turned on the light, spread the rice paper on the table, and hastily poured some cold tea to dissolve the dried ink.

She lowered her head and bent over the desk, writing with a pen, her figure swaying.

next door.

Pei Xingjian suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the lights that had been lit again not far away, and also stood up and sat up.

This isn't the first time.

He opened the window a crack in the darkness and looked at the orange window quietly: "Always think of risking your life and sacrificing your life for the country..."

Master Li was different from anyone he had ever met.

Pei Xingjian stroked the several military books that Li Yin gave him, his eyes sparkling.
