The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 198 Plague Prevention and Control
Changlin Yan's demeanor is still lost in his reply.The shirt is green and slightly moist, and the horse's title is green grass.

The stack is suspended to avoid stones, but the bridge is broken to find the stream.When the battle is over, I will feel ashamed of my old wife.

——Excerpt from Du Fu's Three Poems of Taking His Wife from Langzhou but Going to Shushan

……

The food problem was finally solved, and Master Xu had the best sleep these days.In his dream, he returned to Bashu, where he was born and grew up, and haunted by dreams:

"Shuipai Qingsha, mountain named Chundian, Bijian Youhuang, Emei Xianxiang..."

Suddenly there was a noise at the door, waking Mrs. Xu up.

"This general, please let me report to the Taifu, it is extremely urgent, and there is really no delay!" A voice at the door was urgent.

"Lord Yan, I didn't deliberately obstruct you. The Taifu has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights, and finally fell asleep. You take a rest and let the Taifu sleep for another hour or two. When the Taifu wakes up, I will report it for you immediately. .”

"Liebu, let Lord Yan come in." Taifu Xu came out with his clothes hanging over the curtain.

Hu Cao Canjun Yan Jiming saw Xu Taifu's dark eye circles and dull skin, and couldn't help but feel sad and guilty.Hurry up to see him, and said: "Please forgive me for disturbing the Grand Tutor in the middle of the night."

Mrs. Xu smiled heartily, and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm getting older and I don't sleep much. I just woke up too. Come, sit down and talk."

The matter was urgent, and Yan Jiming couldn't care less about politeness, so he talked about the reason for asking for help.

It turned out that although the flood in Shanzhou had subsided, the flood brought another disaster—the epidemic.Plagues are more dangerous than floods and famines.In the Luoyang area, people are in panic, and tens of thousands of people are waiting to die.

Yan Jiming said: "The disaster victims from Shanzhou and other places fled to Luoyang. According to the Taifu's opinion, the prefect did not let the disaster victims enter the city, but set up eight resettlement sites in the suburbs, including Camp A, Camp B, and Camp C. The army was recruited tents, where the disaster victims are placed in a unified manner according to their hometowns."

The Taifu asked: "How is the layout of the resettlement site? Is the drinking water source, laundry and bathing, garbage dumps, dry toilets and excrement separated?"

Yan Jiming replied: "The Ministry of War sent a large number of marching officers and soldiers to assist the Luoyang government government in planning resettlement sites. Except for purely military facilities such as archery towers, ditches, and deer barriers, the rest of the layout was completely based on the planning of the marching formation. The camps were set up.

There are special food soldiers in the upper reaches of the stream, choose clean water sources, and bury pots and stoves for food.In the resettlement site, set up a fire belt, fill the tank with water, and pile soil into bags.Keep enough distance between the camp tents.It not only prevents the spread of fire, but also prevents the spread of epidemic diseases.Logistical soldiers set up baths, dry toilets and garbage filling pits in the lower reaches of the stream.

After setting up the camp, the prefect, accompanied by the soldiers, went around and checked and accepted them one by one.Therefore, although the number of victims is large, the entire camp is orderly, staggered and clean. "

"Then where is the problem?" Mr. Xu asked.

Yan Jiming shook his head to express his ignorance.

"How did you find out?" Mrs. Xu asked eagerly.

Yan Jiming replied: "First, an old man in Bingying showed signs of fever, and passed away within two days. Then all the family members developed fever lesions, and within seven days, they all died of illness. In the next few days, the neighbors A large number of people were infected with diseases in several tents.

This story spread ten to ten, and the victims in Camp C panicked and fled the resettlement site one after another.

General Tu was in a hurry, fearing the spread of the plague, he led his troops to capture all the fleeing victims.At the same time, military isolation zones were established outside the eight resettlement sites, and those who dared to escape would be shot to death.

Although this move controlled the epidemic in Camp C, it was a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.On the one hand, the situation in Camp C has deteriorated rapidly and is precarious; on the other hand, the other resettlement sites are in panic, and if there is no better way, they will change sooner or later.

The prefect was at a loss, so he asked me to hurry up and ask for the opinion of the prefect. "

Of course Taifu Xu knew that the so-called prefect came to ask for his opinion, in fact, he was letting himself into the bag. If the situation was serious in the future, the Holy Majesty would blame him.But it's about the safety of the common people, so it's meaningless to care about these scheming in Vanity Fair.The Tai Tuo has long passed the age of caring about reputation and reputation, and pays more attention to doing practical things.

The Taifu pondered for a moment and said: "There are many disciples from the Qingcheng lineage in Luoyang, contact them quickly. Qingcheng's nine-needle needle is unparalleled in the world, and it is especially effective in treating typhoid fever. You can ask them to help people and go deep into the most serious epidemic place. , Ask and treat patients in Cying.

In addition to the original eight resettlement sites, two new resettlement sites and a hospital for men and women were added in the suburbs.The other battalions checked one by one, and once there were victims with fever, they were immediately transferred to these two resettlement sites and observed carefully.If it is diagnosed as the plague, it will be transferred to the ward.

The hospital spends a lot of money to invite local famous doctors or Taoist priests and monks who know medical skills to sit in the hall for consultation.For doctors with excellent medical skills, noble medical ethics, and more patients who have cured more patients, the government will report to the imperial court and award them with titles as a reward.

In addition, I have a prescription, which is derived from "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions", which is a secret recipe for treating plague that I got from my old friend Sun Simiao.This prescription is "unreasonable in using medicines sparingly. As for emergency rescue, its experience is specific. After drinking several doses, you will sweat out and ventilate. If you eat a little, you will recover completely. Even if you have no illness, take it on an empty stomach, and your diet will be doubled. Illness does not give birth".

The medicinal materials used in this prescription are all low-grade medicinal materials, and it is roughly estimated that every thousand dollars will get a thousand doses, which is convenient for popularization and use among the people.

The prefect can order someone to set up a cauldron on the street to torture, and distribute it to the people for free.Pedestrians in the past, regardless of whether they are good or bad, old or young, will each take a large cup. "

……

While Taifu was talking, Yan Jiming was memorizing.By the time the Taifu finished speaking, the sky was already bright.The Tai Tuo was sweating all over his body and was exhausted.

Yan Jiming's eyes were filled with tears, and his emotion was beyond words.

The Taifu waved his hands and smiled, and said: "My body will not die for a while, you go, it will be too late. The closed disciple of the head of Qingcheng Qingxuan is by my side, and I will let him go with you Go. He is very good at medicine, and he will definitely help you."
