"It's okay, I just wanted to take a look. Lan Yu, do you know where the wounded barracks is?" Zhu Yuanzhang casually waved his hand to ask Lan Yu to get up.
Today's Lan Yu is still Zhu Yuanzhang's trusted confidant. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally treats Lan Yu more casually and is less pretentious.
Lan Yu stood up quickly and led Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Changan to the wounded barracks.
Arriving at the wounded barracks, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
On the Datong bunk, many men wrapped in bandages were lying in various directions.
Most of them were already unable to move and could only lie weakly on the couch and groan.
After all, those who can walk can already take the medicine and go home to be with their wives and children.
Only those wounded who cannot move can only continue to stay in the wounded barracks, waiting for that moment to arrive.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he couldn't bear to turn his eyes away.
In his early years of fighting in the north and south, he had seen too many dead brothers.
Maybe everyone was chatting and laughing together before the expedition, but then after a battle, everyone was gone.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's many years of experience in the military, most of the people lying down now may not be able to survive it.
Hu Changan looked at the wounded with unbearable expressions.
However, he quickly reacted and went straight forward to pick out the wounded.
After all, alcohol can only treat minor injuries, and it is powerless to treat those who appear to be severely infected.
After a while, Hu Changan selected the wounded soldiers among the group who could be cured by alcohol.
Most of them are skin injuries and do not cause large-scale infection. At most, they are only local inflammation.
Hu Changan and Lan Yu discussed it and planned to put these selected wounded soldiers in another barracks for separate care for better observation.
After a while, these wounded soldiers were carefully moved to the next door.
Seeing that the preliminary preparations were done, Hu Changan took out the alcohol left over from the last fight against the epidemic, untied the bandage of one of the wounded soldiers, and applied it.
The wounded soldier was a little frightened when he saw the emperor. Just when he was feeling uneasy, an unimaginable sharp pain suddenly came from his wound.
This pain is simply worse than being stabbed on the battlefield!
Caught off guard, the wounded soldier lost his composure in public and screamed, his painful forehead covered with sweat.
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he saw such a tragic scene: "Hu Chang'an, why does your alcohol hurt so much? Is it okay?"
"Your Majesty, this alcohol is just applied to the wound to make it hurt."
"There are many bacteria invisible to the naked eye on the wound, which causes inflammation of the wound and thus endangers the lives of the soldiers."
"When you apply alcohol, the alcohol will destroy all these bacteria."
"But because the bactericidal ability is too strong, it will inevitably cause some irritation to the wound."
"As long as this alcohol is applied to intact skin, it will be fine. It won't hurt at all."
After that, Hu Changan specially took some alcohol and applied it on the back of his hand.
Seeing that Hu Changan was alive and well and not in any pain, Lan Yu on the side also doubtfully took some alcohol and applied it on the back of his hand.
"Your Majesty, it's true! This alcohol will cool your hands and won't hurt at all!" Lan Yu said excitedly.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu's excited look and temporarily believed Hu Changan's words.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang still doesn't quite understand, facts speak louder than words, and he is not one of those old stubborns.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but have more confidence in this magical alcohol.
Perhaps, this alcohol can really save these dying soldiers?
After a while, Hu Changan smeared all the patients' wounds with alcohol.
Suddenly, there was a wailing in the barracks.
Hu Changan wiped his nose and felt a little embarrassed.
Generally, when dealing with large-area wounds, anesthetic is first applied and then alcohol is applied.
Time is running out now, and there is no time to find plant anesthetics, so we can only aggrieve the soldiers here.
Seeing that he was almost done, Hu Changan handed the alcohol in his hand to the soldier beside him and said, "Did you see it? From now on, I will apply alcohol to their wounds every day like I did today until the wounds heal."
"Yes!" The soldier saluted, and he couldn't help but mourn for his wailing colleagues.
Hey, it's a good thing to be able to cure the disease, but the pain can only be endured.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the side also silently gave an order to Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was following him, asking him to send someone to guard this place.
This experiment was of great importance, and Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that someone would follow up so that he could intuitively see the effects of the alcohol.
Seeing that the matter was almost done, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Hu Changan to go home and wait for the final judgment.
With the emotional blessing of Wanmin's petition, Zhu Yuanzhang now looks more favorably on Hu Changan.
What's more, it has been verified that he did not plunder people's property without permission. Since he has not committed any crime, there is no need to stay in the sky jail and eat prison food.
After hearing this, Hu Changan quickly accepted the order and returned home happily.
No matter how good the prison environment is today, it is still a prison after all.
How nice it is to go home, where you can eat whatever you like, do whatever you like, and be accompanied by beautiful ladies and maids, how wonderful it is!
When Hu Changan's figure walked away leisurely, Lan Yu finally felt relieved, knelt down and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, after thinking for a long time, I decided to confess something."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu kneeling on the ground, looking a little surprised.
Lan Yu, this kid, has always been extremely dissatisfied. Why has he suddenly changed his gender now and is now resorting to asking for forgiveness?
Lan Yu knelt down and saluted, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "My nephew, because he is addicted to gambling, and together with the housekeeper of the family, wantonly invaded the people's fields, and privately turned the peasants who belonged to the government into his own tenant farmers!"
"When I found out about this, I was very angry. I have already returned all the fertile land in the mansion to the people."
What?!
Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry now.
This is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country! Why is Lan Yu so stupid that he allows his nephew to do such a bold thing?
If all distinguished families do this, then the country may no longer be able to collect taxes in a hundred years!
However, despite being angry, Zhu Yuanzhang still had some doubts: "Lanyu, what do you mean by telling me this now? Do you want me to punish you?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I will be honest with Your Majesty today. I just want to tell Your Majesty that all this is due to Hu Changan."
"Originally, I was completely unaware of this matter. Thanks to Hu Changan who discovered the evil deeds of the housekeeper while working in Lishui County and came to inform Yu Chen, I did not continue to commit that heinous crime!"
"In addition to the Lan family, Hu Changan also discovered that several other aristocratic families were occupying private land." This chapter has been completed!
