Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 377 Su He consciously teaches the villagers to save themselves

Many emperors would not drive the people to the brink of death as long as they were not crazy and only cared about their own pleasure. An emperor without his people would not be far from death. How many incompetent emperors in history had a good end?

In fact, many countries eventually perished on their own. When the population was gone, they would naturally perish without foreign invasion. There must be a perfect ratio between man and nature, otherwise one side would perish. Who can control major disasters such as typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, etc.? Sometimes it is easy to talk about weather wars, but who can control them in the end?

Otherwise, so many people would not have died, and some politicians and rich people would not have died. As the ancients said, doctors can cure diseases but cannot save lives. Those who are cured must not have died, otherwise they would not have been saved.

Su He knew that after traveling through time this time, he had come to believe in some magical things and was no longer an atheist. Some karma and the cycle of life and death must exist, otherwise how could he explain coming here with the memories of his past life.

At this time, Su He's maid Yingying hurried in. Since Su He didn't need her, she went around to help after cleaning Su He's room.

Yingying's face flushed red, and she asked anxiously, "Miss, are you done with your work? Can you take me with you when you go out next time?"

Su He smiled and said, "I'm done with my work for now. I'll take you with me next time I go out. Are you satisfied now?"

Yingying clapped her hands happily and said, "That's great. I can finally follow you and don't have to run around like a poor little thing."

Su He asked her to bring the meal. They were also very hungry, so they quickly ate something. The family of three sat down and discussed the future development of the several farms. It would be best if each farm had its own characteristics. This was their future livelihood guarantee, and they would never be able to leave the land.

In the spring, the family land is planted with food and other crops by the people who stay at home. It cannot be left idle. I feel sad when I think of the large areas of land left idle in many villages. Even with advanced machines and equipment, it is a waste of resources to leave the land idle.

Why do disasters happen every few decades? It should be to remind people to cherish the land and food. People waste food and energy, and every household spends all their money without saving or storing food. No wonder chaos breaks out when disaster strikes.

It was only when Su He arrived here that he realized that if grain was stored well, it could be stored for many years. Those wealthy families with a solid foundation had special granaries, and they could generally survive safely for two or three years.

When ordinary people encounter disasters, the most common plan is to flee famine, but how many people can survive the journey intact? Su He is most opposed to fleeing famine. If it is not a last resort, just save yourself in your hometown.

The deep mountains were their last escape. If they had no water, they would look for it in the mountains. If they had no food, they would dig it in the forests. As for clothes, many things could be turned into thread and woven into clothes.

With food, clothing and shelter, people can survive. As long as there are people, many things can be created. Primitive people can survive, and so can I, as a modern person.

After they finished eating, Su He started to read and study. He must not slack off in medical skills, as this is the guarantee of his living standard. After going to his grandmother's house tomorrow, he will start to learn medical skills from his master. He still has few opportunities to see patients.

When she came back, some villagers came to her for treatment. They were all simple headaches and fevers. The villagers didn't trust her for serious illnesses. She didn't have much time these days, so she would check them when she saw them and ask them to find some common herbs to make some to drink.

This is very simple. Wild grasses such as mugwort and dandelions in the village fields, as well as radish, ginger, pepper, and egg water can all be used as medicine. As for other things, such as bottom ash from pots, soil from stove cores, and tree branches, they can all be used to treat diseases.

As long as it is not a serious illness, some minor illnesses can be cured with these simple prescriptions.

Although the villagers' living conditions are better than before, they still think it is too expensive to go to the clinic for treatment. Su He tries his best to help them with the treatment and explain the cause of the disease to them, so that they can find medicine for some minor illnesses by themselves in the future.
