"Well, that's a good idea."

After hearing Li Zhi's proposal, Wu Cheng'en's eyes lit up.

The wife of the village head is also very familiar with the elderly, weak, women and children in the village, and has a certain authority. "Let them lead the way, I think it will work."

"Humph, I thought it was some fantastic idea." Xu Wei curled his lips and said disdainfully, "I've already thought of it, but I didn't have time to say it."

"This is what they call 'hesitation will lead to defeat, decisiveness will lead to failure'!" Dr. Li, who was deeply influenced by Dr. Zhao, laughed and walked away.

"Just wait, you'll be in trouble next time!" Xu Wei jumped up and down behind him.

"Haha, you can't compete again. I'll leave you with a lifelong regret." Li Zhi knew the secret to maintaining a 100% winning rate.

Xu Wei was so angry that his nose became crooked.

Wu Cheng'en ignored Xu Wei and gave tasks to the village heads and village chiefs. He told them to go back and persuade their wives.

~~

Although Li Zhi's idea was good, after the village heads and the chiefs went back and informed their families, the women all made excuses and were unwilling to take the lead.

Saying that would be laughable.

With the social atmosphere being like this, what can Wu Chengen do?

When I went to Li Zhi for help, he had already taken a boat back to Suzhou to work and would not be back until the day after tomorrow.

Helplessly, Wu Cheng'en could only ask Xu Wenchang to solve the problem.

Although Xu Wei was furious with Li Zhi, he was not so concerned about personal matters as to sacrifice public interests. Knowing that the matter could not be delayed, he personally went to the Anmin Society in Beicheng the next day to hold a meeting with the wives of the village heads and village chiefs to brainwash them.

Not to mention, Xu Wei was tall, white and plump, and he was eloquent and humorous. He could make the atmosphere warm and cozy in a blink of an eye, and he was a perfect friend of middle-aged and elderly women.

In fact, women are a very good thing, but without the right atmosphere, no one dares to take the lead.

Xu Wei kept flattering and coaxing Bai to live a comfortable life, and a bunch of old ladies were willing to go through fire and water for him.

Yes, Hua Mulan could join the army for her father. Wu Zetian could review memorials for Li Zhi. So what does it matter if we take the lead in maintaining the sanitation of the camp for the men?

All the aunts and sisters agreed immediately, and then went back to call on the women, children, the elderly and the young who remained in the camp to take action.

They first thoroughly cleaned up the garbage and feces in front of and behind the sheds, then cleaned up the silt on the road, drained the stagnant water, and removed the weeds.

We also spread lime powder and caustic soda powder distributed by the county everywhere to disinfect poisonous insects and control the breeding of mosquitoes and flies.

Temporary toilets and garbage dumps were built in places far away from the camp and water sources...The garbage at that time was almost all organic matter, which was very easy to rot and deteriorate, but after fermentation it became excellent fertilizer.

Not to mention the feces, those are Mr. Xu's treasure.

The aunts and sisters also followed the requirements of their "Big Brother Xu" and went door to door, telling everyone to maintain personal hygiene, not to defecate or urinate anywhere, not to throw garbage everywhere, not to drink raw water, not to eat raw or cold food, and not to eat food that rats have touched.

~~

The next day, these "neighborhood committee aunties" led by Xu Wei filled in potholes everywhere, dug drainage ditches, and paved the camp roads with bricks and stones.

The children received the task of killing rats from Uncle Xu, and there was a generous reward - a rat tail in exchange for a candy! The child who caught the most rats, 100, could also get a sausage!

The mice in the camp were in a terrible state. There were more than 10,000 children between the ages of 6 and 12 in the camp. How many mice were there? At most, there were thousands of them. There was not even one for each child!

The poor mice were immediately caught in the sea of ​​violence of the people's war. The children actively used their hands and brains to dig pits, set up checkpoints, dig holes and bury cages, and dug three feet underground to catch any mouse.

On that day, more than 3,000 were caught. On the second day, the number dropped sharply to 500. On the third day, there were not even 100 tails.

This means that each tail is a sausage and a piece of candy, which is more valuable than gold bars in the eyes of children.

There were really no mice to be found in the camp, so the children went outside to look for them, and some even went to the South City to catch them...

When the clerk in charge of distributing the candy discovered that someone was cheating, he was ready to severely stop them and let the rats from the south city take the candy from the north city.

But he was stopped by Xu Wei first.

The clerk was puzzled, and Xu Wei reprimanded him:

"Are the rats in the south of the city no longer under the jurisdiction of this county? Rats from anywhere are counted, unless they are caught in other counties."

"That's impossible..." The clerk couldn't help but laugh.

"It's just a few candies and sausages." The lonely painter stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the obviously tidy camp, revealing a rare gentle smile.

"When the children come home, they will whistle and eat candy, run and jump into the house, and hold up the sausage to tell their parents that they won it. Their mother can cook a few delicious meals with it, and their father can also have something to eat with wine if there is wine."

"Isn't this a hundred times better than letting you secretly take it back and sell it?" He glanced at the dazed clerk and said, "Do you understand?"

The clerk was sweating profusely and shivering involuntarily. The candies he had hidden in his sleeves and in his belt fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

~~

After the plum rain season was over, there was a temporary shortage of men on the dike, so the old couple organized the men to tear down the dilapidated and dirty shacks and build simple houses with bamboo and wood instead.

Of course, Xu Wei would not stand out again. First, he was really lazy, and second, his mouth was as much pleasing to middle-aged and elderly women as it was annoying to men. If he were to direct the men to work, it would probably take no time before they would tie him up with stones and throw him into Zhihe Pond.

There is an endless bamboo forest on Yufeng Mountain, which is said to be Gu Dadong's property. Wu Cheng'en persuaded the monks to donate the bamboo and use it as the main building material for the victims.

With more people comes more strength, and rows of bamboo houses were built. Although they were still very simple, at least they were well ventilated, and the victims all slept on beds - the kind mentioned in the previous text, which were made of earth and covered with wooden boards.

Sleeping on the ground in such a humid weather would make anyone with a weak body sick. Being able to sleep on the ground was a big improvement.

Wu Cheng'en even organized people to dig more than a dozen wells so that the victims no longer had to use muddy river water, but could drink cleaner well water instead.

In addition to mobilizing the masses to work together to prevent the epidemic, Wu Cheng'en also established an effective prevention and control system through the aunties in the neighborhood committee... Oh no, the village heads and the headmen.

He asked them to inspect their own lijia every day and report any sudden illness to the county immediately. The county would send a doctor to treat the patient immediately, and if it was an infectious disease, the patient would be isolated immediately.

The most amazing thing is that he not only isolates individual patients, but depending on the severity of the situation, he also isolates the patient's entire family and even people who have had close contact with the patient for diagnosis, treatment and observation.

This was something Li Zhi told him. Li Zhuowu had too many dead in his family and had plenty of experience in this area, although he would rather not have it.
