Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 501.1: Plan, Profiting

“Don’t panic, let me finish first.” It couldn’t be helped. Bacteria and whatnot, even if she said it, these people completely won’t be able to understand, so Jing Wan could only make up excuses. Of course, even if making something up, it also needed to be within reason, enough to let people believe, and not speaking without logic. “As everyone knows, after the battle, need to clean up the battlefield and bury the remains of the soldiers, not only for the sake of letting those soldiers loyal to the country rest in peace, but the people of the enemy country similarly need to be burned. The purpose is all the same. Also, regardless whether it’s an earthquake or flood disaster, after a natural disaster, things similarly need to be dealt with afterwards. If not, it might cause people to get infected with illness, and the illness might pass on to others. It goes to show that it’s not just the deceased that carry the cause of disease on them. And similarly, a clean place not only is more comfortable, but also more likely to prevent illness. That’s why, regardless whether it’s considering for the sake of those soldiers, or the people taking care of them, a clean environment is very necessary.”

The reasoning was actually very simple, just it was possible to not notice. Once pointed out, it actually wasn’t that hard to accept. Especially for doctors, in this aspect, they will probably have an even deeper understanding. That’s why, after Jing Wan finished, quite a few people were deep in thought.

“Wangfei’s words are reasonable. Just, our manpower is limited. When there’s no battle, it’s still a bit better, but once a battle breaks out, one person wishes they can split into many.”

“Why not invite commoners to help? Everything else aside, just offering food everyday, believe that there will be quite a few people willing to help.”

Not just one bitterly smiled. The old doctor opened his mouth, “Wangfei, you may not know, the rations allocated for this place, each person’s share, is just half of those neither injured nor ill soldiers’ share. For people like us, because of not possessing a military register, in fact, won’t even receive a single portion of ration. Our meals are completely handled on our own. After all, need to first ensure the other soldiers have their fill, so that they have enough energy to fight in battle. It’s not that we have never thought of asking for the commoners’ help, but unfortunately, we simply don’t have the power.”

“The food supply is short to this degree?” Jing Wan frowned. Based on her understanding, it shouldn’t be this serious.

“This has nothing to do with whether the food supply was sufficient or not, but rather just the usual practice. If the food is insufficient, then perhaps not even a single bite of food will be sent over. After all, these people are already………”

The unspoken words, Jing Wan naturally understood, her face filled with anger, “Preposterous! They, for the sake of protecting the people, defending the borders, fought with their lives. Getting injured, they ought to be better taken care of. Doing things in this way, won’t it make one’s heart grow cold? Who would still give their all in a fight?”

Even so, Jing Wan knew that many injured and crippled soldiers, after returning home, won’t have financial support and will also be viewed as a burden by their family, their days very miserable. No one will remember their contributions, no one will remember their sacrifices, and at the same time, they already knew that in the end, it will be this kind of outcome. That’s why, on the battlefield, they more or less will have some misgivings, either preserve themself, or just die.

Getting injured, yet unable to receive good care, even minor injuries can become serious, and serious injuries for the most part will be equivalent to becoming crippled. That’s why, the casualty on the battlefield would be that high.

The reasoning, everyone all understood, and there were also people that were willing to do a bit of something, but they couldn’t rashly go do either, because that will attract the wariness of those in power. And those in power, the things they considered were also many. Moreover, even if they did something, it still may not necessarily be strictly carried out.

The most classic example was just, when the emperor, because of a certain matter, bestowed a certain commoner a gold bowl. Passing down, at the first level, it will get switched with a silver one. At the second level, it will get switched with porcelain, and at the very end, perhaps it will just become a crude bowl. Even so, this crude bowl may not necessarily be able to reach the person that it was originally bestowed to either.

TN: All

Jing Wan closed her eyes, suppressing the anger in her heart, “You all go recruit people. If there’s no food, just offer money. I will provide the money. Never mind when not encountering, after all, my hand cannot reach that far, but since one has encountered, ultimately need to give my humble effort.” Jing Wan looked to those painfully groaning soldiers that were either living in the building, or below a randomly set up tent outside, “They fought for the sake of Qi Yuan, for the sake of the people, we, cannot, disregard.”

“Wangfei is benevolent.”

“Benevolent? Heh!” Jing Wan mockingly laughed. She wasn’t the least bit benevolent. She supports her husband raising war in the future, expanding the borders and enlarging the territory, strengthening Qi Yuan. Rather than say it was benevolence, it was better to be said as bribing the heart. At least, saying that she was bribing the heart, she can still calmly accept.

Shortly after, Jing Wan mentioned a few more points. Every area must be cleaned up neatly. The water used everyday all need to be completely boiled. The people taking care of the injured also need to have oneself tidied up cleanly. Not only the environment, the injured also need to be kept clean. The areas closer to the wound further can’t be careless about. The specifics, she already didn’t want to rack her brains to explain.

“As the saying goes, each field has its own experts. These things, I will just roughly say a few words. The specifics, in the past, it was probably just not noticing, but once noticed, believe that you all certainly will be able to do a better job. There’s just one goal, giving them the best care as much as possible, neither abandoning, nor renouncing.”

The last few words, Jing Wan just borrowed the things from her past life. However, in this moment, it undoubtedly touched the heart.

Not only those that were standing fell silent, those that were lying down, quite a few all silently shed tears. Clearly suffering from very serious injuries, yet they’d never once shed a single drop of tear before.

It’s not that no one has ever told them to properly continue living, but at the time, they were already numb, giving up all hope. And the people taking care of them, after seeing more, also became numb along with, many things just carelessly handling. But now, turns out, they also have someone caring about them, also have someone willing to put out for them, and won’t be abandoned, won’t be given up on! Regardless of whether or not it can be achieved, at least, in this moment, their heart was warm, their blood hot.

Someone was willing to put out for this place. Even if some feel that it was just in vain, but at least, it also won’t feel as if getting completely abandoned.

This matter very quickly spread. However, Jing Wan’s identity was nevertheless intentionally concealed, because her husband was a qinwang. There was still the emperor above. Jing Wan openly doing this kind of thing a hundred percent will get viewed in suspicion. When time comes, a good thing will become a bad thing, becoming a disaster.

Because the manpower was limited, Jing Wan had the people by her side mostly sent out. The reason why it was mostly was because her side absolutely cannot lack people.

“Old doctor, I have another idea here. Gong Jiu can also listen and ponder over a little, see if able to work……….”

According to Jing Wan’s idea, it was just organizing a ‘battlefield medic squad’. That’s right, not in the back, but rather in the very front, where the two sides crossed, rescuing as many injured as possible in the first moment. One has to know, for those that died in battle, the ones that die immediately on the spot actually were very few. Mainly, it was because of not being able to receive emergency treatment, while also not being able to move, and in the end, die because of excess blood loss, or die from the immense pain.

“Don’t need to go too deep either, just a place near the edge that’s still considered open, letting the soldiers have the injured sent down. Even if unable to, can still let the injured have the awareness themselves. As long as they persevere, even if it’s crawling out on their own, they’ll be able receive aid. Believe that you all certainly will be more clear than me, even if it’s just treating a moment sooner, the people that will be able to survive will be much more than before.”

Never mind the old doctor, even Gong Jiu’s eyes all slightly flickered, “Wangfei, this idea is not bad, but there are too few doctors. Even in this place, the ones that actually have medical skills are only a few.”

“Saving people on the battlefield, don’t necessarily need medical skills, just needing to know first aid. For instance, knowing how to stop the bleeding, knowing how to help someone fix the broken bone in place so that it won’t cause secondary damage. Simple first aid is just for the sake of buying more time for the wounded, afterwards having them all sent down. What we’re fighting for is just the time. I believe that after simple training, many people all can qualify.”

The old doctor’s eyes shined increasingly bright. As a military doctor that resided in the back of the battlefield all year round, he was more clear than anyone else that if they do this, how many more people can be saved. Moreover, those crippled people, some actually just had a minor injury, but in the end, because of an infection, became deformed. For some, their bones clearly could’ve been put back, but also because it was too late, became crippled. If these people can all be saved in the first moment, then they can still return to the battlefield. And having been baptized by the blood, they will be even more fearless and valiant, and will also have even more experience. It will undoubtedly have the casualties reduced even more.

“The doctors in the back are indeed few. Regarding this bit, actually can also recruit among the people. I believe that there will always be those that are loyal and righteous, else it’s just promising benefit and fame. It’s just residing in the back after all, so for the most part not having any dangers. And judging from the current situation, unless Qi Yuan’s entire frontline collapsed, otherwise, this prefectural city won’t have problems. But, how could Qi Yuan’s army get crushed that easily?”

“Wangfei’s words are indeed very reasonable. I will go look for General Fu right away. Recruiting doctors, it’ll be better once they issue the documents.”

“No, in my view, these things, it’s best if we carry out in private.” Jing Wan shook her head.

“Why?” The old doctor didn’t understand.

Jing Wan pointed to the sky, “…….Towards General Fu……” Jing Wan then shook her head, “That’s why, General Fu cannot step in.”

The old doctor was greatly shocked, his complexion not too good. However, some things, he also understood the severity, his mouth tightly shut. “Then this humble one will go handle.”

Jing Wan nodded, “These things can’t be done in a short amount of time, need to slowly take step by step. But, now that there’s a start, for the future, it should be of great help.” In any case, Jing Wan was just thinking, some things starting now, in the future, perhaps it will have already taken form on a large scale, and towards the war, it certainly will be able to have a big impact.

Her abilities were limited, and the things she was able to do weren’t much either. Moreover, the development of history ultimately needs a process. And things that were too defiant of the natural order cannot appear. However, the things Jing Wan learned in her past life weren’t those. Just, the gunpowder of this world already exists. It just wasn’t used in military affairs. Should she let someone research in this area?

“Gong Jiu, during this period of time, just have the wound sewing technique passed down. Since you’ve already specially researched before, the specifics certainly will be more clear than what I’d told you back then. Need to have it all explained to them clearly. This perhaps will be ‘an achievement of the present, merit of a thousand years’. You perhaps can even be recorded into the annals.” Jing Wan jokingly added.

“Even if recording into the annals, the first name should still be wangfei’s.” Gong Jiu had his head lowered, stating rather seriously.
