The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 785
20 million people!

This number made Yang Qingyuan confused.

What is this concept? !

Gather these people together to form a human wall that can even resist the rolling waves of the Yangtze River.

Including the residents in the outer areas, the total population of Jinling Fucheng is 55 households, or about 200 million people.

And now nearly one-tenth of the people have been infected. This speed of infection is quite terrifying even in the midst of an epidemic.

"Let's talk while walking! Speed ​​up to Jinling City!" "Yes!"

Yang Qingyuan got off the carriage, rode on a fast horse, and said to the remaining two policemen at the same time.

"What's your name?!"

"Subordinates from the Six Gates Branch of Jinling arrest Chen Ming and Li Dang!"

Yang Qingyuan nodded, "Chen Ming, take my warrant and ride to Yangzhou city, the government office of Yangzhou, to let him pay attention to whether there are similar epidemic cases in the territory, and at the same time, let him pass the news to the prefects in other places in Yangzhou." , Let them pay attention to this matter! If there is any slack, they will be severely punished!"

"Yes!"

"Li Dang!"

"Here!" Another policeman stepped forward to respond.

"Immediately take my name card and go to Jingzhou to go to Wudang Mountain to ask Sun Yaowang to come to Yangzhou."

The speed at which this plague spread made Yang Qingyuan palpitate.

Although Tang Shenwei and Li Binhu were there, Yang Qingyuan was still a little worried.

The two of them are better at pharmacy, especially the study of herbal medicine.But for the disease, the understanding of herbal medicine alone is not enough.

Although Tang and Li's medical skills are already the best in the world, they are inferior to the king of medicine, Sun Shichang.

There is a jingle in Taiyuan Hospital, the medicine of Li Binhu, and the prescription of Wanmizhai.

And Medicine King Sun Shichang is the joint strengthened version of Li Binhu and Wan Mi Zhai.

Only by inviting him here can Yang Qingyuan be completely relieved.

……

The commerce and trade in the south of the Yangtze River was developed and there were many merchants. Caravans from all over the Zhou Dynasty, including overseas caravans, would gather in Jinling City, Yangzhou City, Suzhou City and other places in the south of the Yangtze River to conduct transactions.

Therefore, there is a custom in Jinling City. The two small gatherings per month will not change, but a three-day big gathering will be held on January [-]th, April [-]th, July [-]th, and September [-]th every year.

At that time, caravans from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and even people from all over the country will gather in Jinling to participate in this three-day rally.

This is a bit like a business fair for later generations.

Today is April 22, seven days before it was April [-]th, the great rally in Jinling.

Yang Qingyuan used to handle official documents in the Wenhua Palace, and Wang Hua worked as the governor of Yangzhou for two years, so he knows the business of Yangzhou area very well.

Even thought of this.

Be more cautious and vigilant in your heart, if it is really an epidemic, then Da Zhou will be in big trouble!

Yang Qingyuan and his party rode to the outskirts of Jinling Fucheng.

Originally, Jinling, as the ancient capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the political and cultural center of the south of the Yangtze River, has always been prosperous.

But the scene that came into view at the moment, the first impression that people think of in mind is "empty"!
The entire street is empty, no, it should be said that the entire Jinling is empty, and there is hardly a person on the street.

It was already time, and even the gates of Jinling's inner city were not opened.

……

The governor of Jinling, Xue Wen, was born in the original Jinling family Xue's family.

Entering an official position through the imperial examination was Yongan's 16-year experience, full of talent, real talent and hard work, and a talent with a deep heart.

Although he was older than Yang Qingyuan, he was a Jinshi one class later than Yang Qingyuan.

Although Yongan has been called the No. 13 list in the Great Week for [-] years, it has produced a large number of talents and developed in a blowout style.

Although the overall level in 16 is not as good as in 13, those who can be admitted to Tanhua will not be mediocre.

And Xue Wen has the support of the Xue family behind him, so he can be regarded as a prosperous official career. Of course, he himself is also very talented.

Originally, according to the three mutual laws, he could not be an official in Jinling.

But the Xue family moved to Shendu ten years ago, and even sold the family's sacrificial land, and re-purchased it after they arrived in Gyeonggi, completely clearing up the relationship on the surface.

On the contrary, this is Xue Wen who has been fulfilled ten years later.

He was valued by the current Zhongji Palace scholar Wang Hua and others, and he had outstanding political achievements. He moved from Suzhou Taishou to Jinling Prefecture to the right, jumping twice in succession.

Xue Wen, who came to Jinling, has been busy with the handover and arrangement of official duties for half a month, until today he was free.

He originally wanted to take his family back to the ancestral grave to worship the ancestors, but unexpectedly, such a thing happened.

A large-scale epidemic broke out in the entire city of Jinling. The people who were not infected were all in danger and did not dare to go out. Jinling almost became a ghost, and no one could be seen on the street.

Only then did Xue Wen recall the news from the day before yesterday.

Rumor has it that an inn in Jinling suffered from a suspected disease.

After receiving the news.Xue Wen immediately organized Jinling's doctors to go to the consultation, and ordered the Jinling Mansion General Judge to be fully responsible for the matter.

Unexpectedly, in less than ten days, the disease has spread like this.

The more than [-] people in Jinling, the merchants who came to Jinling, were all unconscious in their own homes or inns, as if they were dead. All symptoms were the same as those of Lao Liu and Feng Wei. Scratch marks, coma.

"Why didn't you inform me about such a big thing before!?"

Xue Wen was furious in the yamen at the moment, because dealing with the epidemic was the most important thing before, so Xue Wen did not pursue responsibility, and it was only today that he took a breath and had time to discuss this issue.

Shi Yuan, the judge of Jinling, was scolded bloody by Xue Wen, but he didn't dare to refute.

Tongpan is a special assistant official of the administrative unit of Dazhou Prefecture.

The permanent administrative levels of Dazhou are states, prefectures, prefectures, and counties.

Among them, the administrative scope of the prefecture and the county is similar, and the prefecture is a special county, such as the government of a state, such as Jinling.

It can be understood as sub-provincial cities, municipalities directly under the Central Government, cities with separate state planning on the Blue Star...

The Tongpan is the assistant official at the prefectural level, in charge of food transportation, farmland, water conservancy and litigation, and its function is to assist the government affairs of the prefect to make up for the lack of jurisdiction of the magistrate.

At certain times, even the governor can be supervised.

But the current Jinling Tongju doesn't dare to speak loudly, because he really doesn't take reason.

After learning about this incident, although he went to the scene immediately, no new patients appeared for two consecutive days.

The judge thought it was just a doctor's misjudgment, so he went to busy with other affairs. When the epidemic started to spread, it couldn't stop it anymore.

Just as Xue Wen was yelling at the general sentence, a yamen servant suddenly came to report.

"Lord Xue, there is a group of people outside the yamen. The leader claims to be the Marquis of Wuxiang, please see your lord."

Xue Wen was taken aback by this "seeking meeting", "What asking for meeting, if you don't know how to speak like a literati in the future, don't say it!"

This Marquis Yang was originally a super-grade Marquis, and at the same time he was also the prince's junior teacher.Although it is a false job, it is also from the second rank!

What's more, Yang Qingyuan is still an emperor, and he is also a close friend of Wang Hua, a minister of the imperial court and cabinet.

Xue Wen immediately led a group of officials from Jinling Mansion to welcome Yang Qingyuan into the yamen.

"The purpose of my coming here must be clear to all of you, so I won't say more. How to treat the epidemic now? Governor Xue, please introduce the current situation."

Xue Wen immediately introduced the current situation.

The current Jinling City can be said to be in jeopardy, and the number of people infected with the disease continues to rise, while the local medicinal material merchants not only refuse to support, but also raise the price of medicinal materials.

Although Xue Wen implemented many epidemic prevention measures and closed the city, the situation in the city is still very bad.

After Yang Qingyuan heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, then opened them suddenly, stood up and said, "From now on, this Marquis will take over all the affairs of the Jinling Mansion. Everyone must work together to overcome the epidemic. If anyone is negligent, No mercy!"

"Follow Jun's order!"

No one doubted the words of this Marquis Yang.

People even killed the last emperor, do they still care about a few "minor officials" below the fifth rank? !
Of course, this small official is not small, converted to Blue Star, he can be regarded as a department-level cadre!
Yang Qingyuan sat high in the courtroom and began to issue orders.

"When summer season is in place in spring, there will be more diseases and epidemics among the people. Therefore, we must combine prevention and control."

"One, people who are suffering from diseases and epidemics should give up their empty mansions to buy medicines."

Isolation is the most effective and basic means to stop the spread of the epidemic. This method has existed since ancient times.

There is an infirmary in Shendu, which specializes in accommodating patients with epidemic diseases. Similar institutions are also set up in various state capitals, named Liuji Hall, which is responsible for medical management and disease diagnosis and treatment in various places. When a major epidemic occurs, It also undertakes the task of temporary containment and isolation treatment.

Of course, in the current situation, the Six Ailments Hall is definitely not enough, so Yang Qingyuan also requisitioned a large number of inns and posthouses in the city to house and isolate the seriously ill patients.

"Two, those who die of disease, burn their corpses to cut off the source of the disease!"

Once a plague victim appears, the corpse, as the main source of infection, must be resolved in a short time.And the best way is to burn it. There are no carbon-based organisms that can withstand high temperatures. If there are, then the temperature is not high enough!
"Three, boiled and sipped hot, dispelling evil and strengthening the body."

Two qian of black soybeans (stir-fried until fragrant), two inches of licorice (fried yellow), two decoctions with water and one cup, take it from time to time, or use ginger, green onion, soy sauce, boil it hot and sip it, all of which are ineffective.

Of course, these can also play a bactericidal role before specific drugs are found.

"Fourth, clean the fire and clean the environment."

This is recorded in the medical classics circulated in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The ancient Zhou Dynasty’s book "Zhou Shu Mi Ao Zao Chu Jing" all emphasized the habit of keeping the living room clean and hygienic, and pointed out that the occurrence of diseases can be reduced if the house is clean.

In the pre-Qin period, when anyone entered the city of Qin State, their carriages and harnesses had to be fumigated by fire to disinfect and prevent epidemics.

The period of the Han Dynasty was the period with the most plague records. "Natural History" specifically mentioned that there was a great epidemic in Chang'an, and the palace was full of epidemics. Zhongbaili smells the fragrance, and it has accumulated for more than nine months, and the fragrance never stops."

[-]. "Sterilize and eliminate plague, steam it at high temperature."

The sky is infecting with seasonal epidemics, and if a family is affected by the epidemic, if the sick clothes are steamed on the steamer, the family will not be infected.

This is the most primitive method of disinfection at present.

Yang Qingyuan, a liberal arts student, is not like other time travelers who can purify alcohol. He has never learned this stuff, so he can only use high-temperature disinfection.

[-]. "Cover your face with a scarf and touch people with fear"

Hostility enters the human body through the mouth and nose. Wearing a mask can block the invasion and infection of bacteria, viruses, dust and harmful gases, and it is simple and easy to do.People in the court of Dazhou used silk scarves to cover their mouths and noses to prevent dust and breath pollution.

"Seven, boil water at high temperature, drink it after boiling"

That is to say, drink hot water as much as the secret code of universal medicine.

……

"What the Marquis said, have you ever remembered it!"

"I will follow the order of Lord Hou Jun!"

Yang Qingyuan then turned to Tang Shenwei and Li Binhu.

"This is Li Binhu, the Prime Minister of the Taiyuan Hospital, and Tang Shenwei, the master of the Shu Dynasty. The two of them will help us and overcome the difficulties together. I hope that all colleagues will put aside their past differences and work together."

"Yes!"

……

After Yang Qingyuan finished speaking, Xue Wen raised another question - "rumors".

The harm of the plague is indeed great, but the greater harm is the chaos and panic brought about by the plague.

"Right now, people in Jinling are panicking and rumors are spreading everywhere. What can I do?!"

Xue Wen was a little worried, this rumor could not be eradicated at all.

Yang Qingyuan said, of course it cannot be eliminated, as long as there are people's hearts, there will be rumors.

"Rumors" are unavoidable in the scientific era of the 21st century, let alone the ancient times where feudal superstition was extremely heavy?

In the past ten days, 20 people in a big city have been attacked by the plague. If it is spread, how much panic will it cause and what terrible consequences will it cause?

Ignorant people would think that it was God's wrath, and even blamed all this on the emperor, thinking that it was the emperor's immorality, which led to heaven's punishment.

Or they may think that it is a monster, and human beings cannot be enemies, so they flee in a hurry, causing turmoil in the whole south of the Yangtze River, and even spreading to the north of the Yangtze River, causing millions of Li people to flee their homes to avoid disasters, causing local chaos.

All kinds of harm harm the foundation of the country. It seems that strictly keeping secrets is the only way to limit rumors.

"The way to control floods is better to prevent floods than to block them. This is true of everything. Ordinary people are curious. If we conceal everything today, once the matter is spread, it will attract the attention of others. It’s because you’re terrified, you’ll feel that something is wrong and the situation is critical, and you’ll panic, panic, and spread rumors. Conversely, explaining everything frankly is the best way to suppress rumors.”

"Of course, this confession is aimed at the people in Jinling City, asking them to cooperate in epidemic prevention. As for the outside world, we will keep it secret for the time being, and it is strictly forbidden to leak this matter!"

……

Under Yang Qingyuan's command, the battle against the epidemic in Jinling City just kicked off.
-
God Capital, Zhongji Hall.

Both Wang Hua and the Son of Heaven are here.

Although the emperor seldom intervenes in specific government affairs, it does not mean that he does not need to learn.

Although Yang Qingyuan divides the power of the Son of Heaven, he is not a real constitutional monarch after all, so the Son of Heaven must still have the ability to know government.

At this moment, the two of them suddenly received a [-]-mile rush from Yang Qingyuan.

Linde Emperor Zhu Zhanhou was still very happy at this time. He hadn't received a letter from his teacher for a long time. Although he didn't understand why he took eight hundred miles to rush, he believed that there was nothing in this world that his teacher couldn't solve.

Yang Qingyuan broke the deadlock back then, who else could make Yang Qingyuan suffer? !
Just when he asked someone to fetch the letter and opened it for a look, Zhu Zhanhou shuddered all over.

"The epidemic in Jinling was prevalent, and 20 people suffered!"

This time, Yang Qingyuan's opponent is not human, but heaven!
