Chapter 599 Boiled Water

Shen Hao originally sat in the corner as an "invisible person", and also abided by the admonition to talk less, watch more and listen more, and even listened carefully with the mentality of "learning things". But he never expected that the topic would turn to him in the end, and he had to ignore it, otherwise he would really be given a false name of "hypocritical and inappropriate".

Shen Hao doesn't care about his "notoriety", but he never wants to bear a "stigma" or "distorted name". This is not a good thing for him, and it will also affect his future promotion.

Facing this kind of provocation and insidiousness, Shen Hao's original serious expression suddenly broke into a smile, and the evil spirit that had been silent for many days now seemed to recover instantly, and his whole temperament suddenly changed.

"Dare to ask this one. Hmm." Shen Hao seemed to be unable to remember the other party's name and surname for a while, but without being reminded, he waved his hand with a smile and continued: "Forget it, this supervisor, dare to ask?" Are you talking about me?"

Pointing at Sang and scolding Huai and confrontation are completely two different things. The supervisor who jumped out did not expect such a violent reaction by the surname Shen. He subconsciously glanced at the consular supervisor sitting next to him, "Lord Liu", who nodded slightly. nod.

"Hmph, since Mr. Shen asked, then the lower official will just say it straight. That's right, the one the lower official said is you, Mr. Shen, who is used to living a fine life."

Shen Hao said with a smile: "They all live in tents in the army. Even if Shen is a little more leisurely than the generals, he doesn't live a "fine" life as you said, right? Tell me, how fine am I?"

"Master Shen even boils the drinking water before using it, isn't it fine? And I heard that he ordered all the inspectors under his command to drink boiled water. Isn't this outdated in the army? If it spreads, the frontline soldiers may think about it There will be no good words, right? Or is Master Shen obliged to use boiling water instead of cold water?"

Shen Hao blinked his eyes twice, and two words popped up in his heart: That's it?

However, Shen Hao also had some recollections. Looking at the lively expressions around him, he knew that he really had to talk about "about this matter" today. This is related to the difference in life concepts, and it is really hard to tell clearly if one is not good.

"The weather in the south is hot, and I didn't bring tea with me with the army, so I can't talk about making tea. After the water is boiled, it is cooled in the shade and then scooped up to drink."

"Hehe, after boiling it and letting it cool down, Mr. Shen will order the soldiers to do some good work." The superintendent sneered, and being able to confront Shen's surname face-to-face could be regarded as making him angry. It would be best to let Zuo Yuliang chop off the one surnamed Shen with this excuse. Even if you can't cut off your head, you have to be disgusted with this guy.

Shen Hao shook his head, his smile remained unchanged, and said: "When you drink it, it is always cold, but after boiling it and letting it cool, it is called cold water. Although well water or lake water is also cold, it should be called raw cold water."

What? Cool for nothing? Cold water? What is this all about? Many people present frowned. They thought it was harmless for Shen Hao to boil water to drink before. It feels like sophistry to say so. Sophistry in the army, this is a very bad character, it is disgusting.

Even Zuo Yuliang, who had always had a calm expression and could not tell his likes or dislikes, looked at Shen Hao meaningfully, but he didn't draw a conclusion in his heart. Can the dignified Xuanqingwei sent here to deal with the supervising army and the complicated situation here be so easily squeezed out that they lose their position and talk nonsense? He doesn't believe it. I think Shen Hao should have something to say.

Sure enough, Shen Hao continued to laugh and said, "The difference between boiled cold water and raw cold water is whether it has been boiled."

"Boiling? Huh, it's just a waste of firewood and soldiers' time, what's the difference?"

"When I went to Wuhu Lake before, I saw that the army strictly controlled the drinking water. No one was allowed to wash clothes, make conveniences, or dump sewage in the lake. This is to ensure that the water source is clean and prevent diseases from drinking unclean water. And the army Once China is infected on a large scale, it will be a disaster.

It is also the same reason for me to boil the water and drink it, so that it is less likely to suffer from diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms due to drinking water. Ask me, among the more than 300 inspectors under my command, has anyone had diarrhea these days? Then ask the same number of general soldiers whether they have diarrhea? "

Hearing Shen Hao's answer, everyone in the big tent was taken aback for a moment, and then they all reacted with different expressions. Some generals who were close to each other and sitting next to each other were already discussing in low voices.

"Oh? Master Shen, there are no jokes in the army." Even Zuo Yuliang, who was sitting high on the head, was slightly dazed and confirmed something to Shen Hao with interest.

"Back to Commander-in-Chief, although this is the first time for this subordinate to join the army, he also understands that there is no joke in the army. What the subordinates say can be confirmed by Zuo Commander."

"Hehe, Mr. Shen's quick talk is in line with the temper of a man in the army, so I will take it seriously." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and called people: "Come on, go to the surveillance envoy's station to verify, and then randomly draw nine shares of 300 people from the army. Diarrhea record, hurry back!"

It seemed like a trivial matter, but when Shen Hao threw out that set of rhetoric, most people in the tent no longer thought it was a trivial matter.

Most of the people present are generals, and they know that the more people there are, the easier it is to get sick, especially diarrhea. If you are lucky, only one or two people will suffer, but if you are not lucky, there will be a large number of soldiers. What's more, it is not uncommon to pull worms out. Could it all have something to do with the water?

What's the point here?

The reason is actually very simple. Boiling water can kill most of the pathogenic bacteria in the water because of the high temperature, which greatly reduces the harm to the body after drinking. In particular, parasites, malaria, etc. can be effectively eliminated. Of course, as long as Shen Hao knows these reasons, he will definitely be treated as an idiot if he speaks out. If he is really asked to explain what parasites are and what malaria is, he really can't tell.

So Shen Hao directly used the idea he heard from the military doctor before, but it can be stored in another bottle.

Immediately, someone outside the tent went to investigate according to Zuo Yuliang's instructions. It is very fast to check these things in the army, and there is no need to wait too long. But before the results came out, everyone in the account was skeptical and couldn't continue this topic, so they started to discuss other issues reported by the front line again.

It was almost noon before the guard came back to report, saying that it had been verified.

"A total of more than 3,500 people were spot-checked, including 318 inspectors, and the rest were randomly checked from the central army and the left and right wings. The spot-check time was from leaving the Kunduo Pass to the south until yesterday.

As a result, none of the 318 inspectors suffered from diarrhea or abdominal pain since they left the customs. And among the other 300 people who were stroked in the random check army, there were between eleven and eighteen people who had diarrhea.”
