A week later, it was already January 2nd, Daye's 13th year.

Bai Yulou quickly stabilized Dongming City through the grievance meeting, land distribution, disrupting the private households, the field mu system, and the military system.

In order to completely eliminate the influence of the Dongming faction, Bai Yulou ordered to change Dongming City into Danshui City, and establish Liuqiu Mansion and Danshui County.

At the same time, the first batch of 5,000 refugees transported from Huduzhou also arrived at Danshui Port.

In order to completely isolate the prisoners of the Dongming faction, 700 atonement soldiers and their families were escorted onto the transport ship and returned to Huduzhou with some warships.

With the departure of these atonement soldiers, the biggest hidden danger in Danshui City has been eliminated. As long as it is controlled by the Human Revolutionary League for a year, this place will become the core area of ​​the Human Revolutionary League.

The personnel who followed the transport ship and 50 technicians from Zhoushan Iron and Steel Works came to set up Danshui Iron and Steel Works.

In Danshui County, which has a total population of 28,000, Baiyulou has also launched recruitment work. This recruitment is to recruit soldiers. A total of 1,500 people have been recruited and organized into 3 battalions.

However, compared to other tasks, Bai Yulou quickly activated the health emergency measures at this time. .

Liuqiu Island is hotter than Jiangnan, and malaria and schistosomiasis are very prevalent.

Baiyulou took a horse-drawn carriage out of Tamsui City, 11 kilometers eastward along the river, which is the newly established Heiniu New Village.

In the carriage, apart from Bai Yulou, there were Shanmei and her mother and daughter.

Come to the village.

Baiyulou frowned. It is winter now, and the northern part of Liuqiu is still very hot. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Liuqiu was completely in the tropics, and the northern subtropical zone was further north than later generations. Guanzhong Plain, Nanyang Basin, and Huanghuai Plain all have subtropical climates.

The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are the transition zone between tropical climate and subtropical climate.

The Lingnan region, Minyue region, and Liuqiu Island have a tropical climate.

Zhang Xin, the captain of the militia, and Guan Biao, the village head, who had been transferred, were already too busy to touch the ground.

General Bai, the conditions here are not good, so we can only drink the leaves. Zhang Xin poured a glass of mulberry leaf water for Bai Yulou.

Bai Yulou took over the glass cup: Water is all you need, remember to tell the villagers not to drink unboiled water,

Be sure to drink boiled water.

Zhang Xin said with a wry smile: General, I still want to go back to the army, these villagers are too difficult to manage.

Guan Biao, a native on the side, stood aside in embarrassment.

Bai Yulou scolded: Fart! Have you forgotten your oath under the herringbone flag, you must learn to overcome difficulties, and the Governor's Office will support your work.

Zhang Xin hastily stood at attention and saluted: I'm very sorry! I will definitely review and continue to strive for the Datong world for the rest of my life.

I'm here this time to bring you something.

Several soldiers quickly unloaded the things on a carriage, and there were 5 demobilized soldiers assigned to Heiniu New Village, and they were all counting supplies.

Except for the knives, spears and javelins used to train the militia, the rest are daily necessities and medicines.

Zhang Xin said happily: Thank you for the support of the organization. I will definitely lead Heiniu New Village to continue to work hard to bring a better life to the villagers.

Bai Yulou picked up some medicines and herbs: This is dried wormwood and dried chrysanthemums, which are made of mosquito coils. You should light them regularly in the toilets and corners.

This is Pozama Pill, which can treat malaria. You take good care of it. The efficacy of the pill can only be guaranteed for two years.

Zhang Xin took three brown glass bottles, which contained thumb-sized pills, which were sealed with beeswax to enhance the preservation effect.

Pozama Pill was refined by Tang Feilin. Artemisinin was extracted from Artemisia annua, and then sugar and starch were added to make pills.

As for the extraction process of artemisinin, Tang Feilin adopted the ultrasonic constant temperature oscillation extraction method.

That is: Accurately weigh 1,000 grams of Artemisia annua coarse powder, put it in a 250mL conical flask with a stopper, add 30mL of different organic solvents (petroleum ether is best, ethanol can be used if not).

Then use ultrasound for 0.5 hours, take it out, put it in a constant temperature shaking incubator at a temperature of 30°C, pour out the extract after 24 hours, add an equal amount of new solvent and shake it at a constant temperature for 24 hours, and combine the extracts.

The next step is the separation and purification of artemisinin.

The artemisinin extract obtained by the ultrasonic constant temperature oscillation extraction method was decolorized by adding 0.4 grams of activated carbon to 1 gram of the crude drug, and filtered with suction to obtain a colorless and clear liquid, which was recovered under reduced pressure at 45 ° C, and 75% (V/V) ethanol recrystallization.

With this method, white needle crystals with artemisinin content of 30-40% can be obtained (if there is petroleum ether, it can be increased to 82.19%).

In this process, the most difficult part is actually the ultrasonic treatment. Tang Feilin used a martial arts solution to solve it, that is, a humanoid ultrasonic generator.

Of course, if there is no human-shaped ultrasonic generator, the constant temperature reflux extraction method and Soxhlet extraction method with lower extraction efficiency can also be used.

Over the past six months, Tang Feilin has extracted enough artemisinin for 20,000 servings, just to treat the terrible malaria in Jiangnan, Lingnan, Daliuqiu and other places.

The so-called miasma in ancient times actually mostly refers to malaria.

To migrate to the South on a large scale, malaria and schistosomiasis are definitely two problems

Blood-sucking schistosomiasis can also be curbed by prohibiting drinking raw water, eating raw food, prohibiting entering water with wounds, and prohibiting eating snails.

However, malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes, and the probability of infection can only be reduced by reducing stagnant water sources around residential areas, cleaning up household garbage in a timely manner, regularly burning wormwood chrysanthemums, and planting more wormwood chrysanthemums and Artemisia annua.

It's just that these measures are palliative, not permanent.

Cinchona and artemisinin are two highly effective drugs for the treatment of malaria.

The former is still in the dense forests of Central and South America, and Artemisia annua is the most convenient medicine now, which is a native species of East Asia.

Of course, if there is no extraction method, directly squeezing the juice of Artemisia annua and then drinking the fresh juice can also have a therapeutic effect.

Bai Yulou came here to deliver the medicine in person, just to inspect various villages and prevent the people under his command from doing nothing.

If the survival rate of the immigrants cannot be guaranteed, not only will the confidence of the immigrants be hit, but it will also be a fatal blow to the speed of the development of the Human Revolutionary Union.

You should know that the area of ​​Daliuqiu is as high as 35,800 square kilometers, of which the area of ​​cultivated land that can be developed is about 9,000 square kilometers, or 13.5 million hectares.

Of course, it is impossible to develop so much arable land in this era. At most, it can only be developed on both sides of the river. It is estimated that 2-3 million mu of arable land can be initially developed.

According to the allocation plan of 10 mu per capita of the Human Revolutionary Federation, about 200,000 to 300,000 farmers can be resettled.

In Daliuqiu, where the climate is hot and the rainfall is abundant, sophon rice can be harvested twice or even thrice a year.

As long as the initial development is completed, it can feed a population of 1 million.

Therefore, both Baiyulou and Zheng Sen in Hudouzhou knew the importance of Da Liuqiu, not to mention that Da Liuqiu's other resources could barely meet the needs of the early stage.

For example, wood for shipbuilding, coal and iron ore for smelting steel, gold and silver as hard currency for foreign trade, and copper for producing shells and bullets can all be obtained in Daliuqiu.

The Human Revolutionary League is destined to break with the powerful families and landlords, so Da Liuqiu, as the rear, determines the speed at which the Human Revolutionary League can unify the world.

Bai Yulou inspected Heiniu New Village, and went to several surrounding villages. The situation was similar to Heiniu New Village.

The sanitation is worrying, the houses are dilapidated, and the villagers are puzzled and resistant to some policies.

These things all need a little refinement and improvement.

On the way back, Bai Yulou sighed slightly: There is a long way to go!
