Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1548 New Health Regulations
Chu Yun returned to the capital after a month in Tianjin Wei. The terrible plague came and went quickly. The newspapers exaggerated the incident a lot. Seeing that the government dealt with it so quickly, the people no longer panicked when the plague happened. Instead, start singing praises.

"The source of this disease comes from the Ganges River in India. During local festivals, a large number of people gather in the river and do not pay attention to hygiene, so it is easy for Vibrio to breed. In the past, they still spread Vibrio by walking, plus Vibrio The ability to survive in nature should not be too strong. Humans are the only susceptible ones, so they are not prevalent in other places. But now that our merchant ships start to be active in the local area, Vibrio may be brought out of the Ganges. "After returning home, Chu Yun explained the source of cholera to Xiao Xiu'er and the others.

"I see. I just said that no one seems to have encountered this terrible plague before." Xiao Xiu'er said.

"There are still many unknown and terrible diseases in the world, especially in some untouched places. They are isolated from the world. When outsiders come, they rarely have antibodies to local diseases, which can easily lead to major plagues again and again. In order to To reduce the possibility of plague outbreaks, I think a more complete health system should be established," Chu Yun said.

"That is to say, other content needs to be added to the "Health Regulations"?" Xiao Xiu'er from the medical department probably knew what Chu Yun meant.

The Ministry of Medicine has issued the "Sanitary Regulations" to regulate urban hygiene. The regulations are not too many. The core is to prohibit livestock from going to the streets and pedestrians to facilitate the streets, so as to keep the town clean and hygienic.

This is not a cosmetic project, but it can reduce the spread of diseases, thereby reducing population losses and spending on medical care.

Just implementing such a regulation is very difficult.

"Every medium and large town in our country needs to rebuild the sewers to clear the city's sewers and prevent the growth and spread of germs. At the same time, towns and cities are required to provide cheap firewood and coal and encourage residents to boil water."

"There are also quarantine agencies established in the customs of Guangzhou, Xiamen Bay, Ningbo, Tianjin, etc. to inspect merchants, sailors, travelers, and goods. If there are patients suspected of having a fever or diarrhea, they need to be isolated for a period of time to confirm that there is no problem Only after that was he allowed to go ashore."

Chu Yun briefly summed up the lessons brought about by the plague incident.

The plague incident this time was a fluke, cholera was terrible, but the investigation team discovered the pathogen in time and found a simple method to treat cholera, which brought the epidemic under control.Otherwise, tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people may die.

The plague incident in 1910, with the medical level of that era, the plague that broke out outside the customs caused more than 6 deaths. The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 killed tens of millions.

In contrast, Tianjin Wei, where the plague broke out near the capital, was a blessing in misfortune. The investigation team could take the train from the capital to Tianjin Wei for investigation immediately, and the government organization was also extremely strong.If the first local outbreak occurred in Guangzhou, Xiamen Bay, or some towns in the mainland, by the time the investigation team went to investigate, cholera might have spread to more places and became more difficult to control.

"I will propose to the Ministry of Medicine to add more control measures to the "Health Regulations", and then the Ministry of Medicine will submit it to the meeting of the six ministries. Rebuilding the city's sewer system and establishing a customs and quarantine agency will require a lot of money." Xiaoxiu son said.

"These funds are not a problem," Chu Yun said.

Princess Sophia followed behind, not knowing what she was thinking.

After returning to the capital from Tianjin Wei, she and Xiao Xiu'er were invited to dinner in the military lord's mansion, and she was somewhat uneasy.

"Sister Ella, am I going to move to the military lord's mansion?" Sophia asked Ella in a low voice.

She learned from Xiao Xiu'er that Aila had followed Chu Yun when Chu Yun first raised his army, and some things had to be approved by her.

"You can ask the adults yourself, that is, Mr. Chu." Ella deliberately teased her.

"I... I'm so embarrassed. I don't know much about the rules here. Fortunately, Mr. Chu doesn't care about those rules, and he never blamed me." Princess Sophia was twirling her hair with a finger, feeling uneasy said.

She had never considered the issue of getting married before, and the princes and envoys from the kingdoms and duchies of the European continent came to propose marriage, and Sophia was not tempted, but at this time Sophia was looking forward to it, and of course there were some Hesitation and tension.

"Since he doesn't usually scold you, what are you afraid of?" Ella said.

"Of course I'm not afraid. He still owes me a car. I haven't seen the car yet." Sophia summoned up her courage when she thought of the car Chu Yun promised to give her.

Da Yu'er knew in advance that Chu Yun and the others were coming back, so they prepared a meal. At this time, seeing Chu Yun and Ella arriving with Xiao Xiu'er and Sophia, she looked at Ella inquiringly.

Aila also communicated with Da Yuer with her eyes, and the two exchanged eye contact. The clever Da Yuer had already understood what was going on, and said with a bit of resentment in her tone: "Okay, I have been waiting at home for a month. My sister came back with two women."

Xiao Xiuer and Sophia blushed when they heard what Da Yuer said, not knowing how to face Da Yuer.

"There is no way to do this... You have always been smart, so you can't bully the two of them." Chu Yun was quite helpless.

Originally, the backyard was relatively peaceful, but it turned out to be good. Unknowingly, there were more and more hostesses. I guess some of them will feel uncomfortable in the future.

"My lord, I was just joking. How could I bully the two sisters... I just want to know what happened in Tianjin Wei." Da Yuer came to rub Chu Yun's shoulders. Because of Yun's influence, I don't think Chu Yun did anything bad.

"Da Yuer, don't blame your lord, let me explain the whole story." Xiao Xiuer came out to defend Chu Yun.

Princess Sophia was no longer as naughty as before, but sat obediently, but she was afraid that Chu Yun would repent.

"So it looks like this, so do you want to move in? There are still a few vacant rooms in the backyard, and you can move in after cleaning up." Da Yuer rolled his eyes and said to the two.

"The princess and I should live in the house outside. If your lord wants to come over anytime, then... come..." Xiao Xiu'er crossed her fingers out of guilt, and said uneasily.
