Chu Huan did not see the so-called 36 Wubao in person, but he admired Yu Buyi from the bottom of his heart. Even when he was dying, this veteran did his best to formulate a defense strategy for Wubao. There is always a kind of person in this world who is worthy To respect, Yu Buqu is undoubtedly this kind of person.

The little county magistrate doesn't know much, and Chu Huan didn't expect to know much from him, but considering that the plague is about to spread, since he is a governor, he can't sit still. County officials, big and small, gathered to inquire about the situation of the plague in Qingtang County.

Although the epidemic situation in Qingtang County has appeared, but fortunately it has not spread completely. Chu Huan pondered for a moment, knowing that in order to control the spread of the plague, the spread of the disease source must be controlled. Those people who carry the disease source are moving around. If the plague spreads everywhere, he immediately ordered Zhou Renkang to prepare to set up an isolation zone to isolate people carrying the virus to prevent the virus from spreading rapidly.

"What the governor said is very true. Since the past dynasties, there have been many plagues." Zhou Renkang said: "It's just that the epidemics are big and small. This time, the epidemic in the northwest of our country is bound to be not small. According to the methods of the past dynasties, it is also the same. There are patients isolated, but this is often a big problem. Many people know that they are infected with the epidemic, but they are afraid of entering the isolation zone. Some people still move outside. The epidemic is contagious. Even if nine out of ten people are isolated, the remaining one It can still spread everywhere...!"

"The governor understands what you mean." Chu Huan nodded and said: "But the speed of ten people spreading together is always faster than that of one person. We must control the speed of the plague as much as possible and buy time for the doctors to develop Release the medicine to cure the plague... Mr. Zhou, you immediately send people to post notices in various villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Qingtang County, saying that the government is already developing an antidote against the plague, and it will be developed soon. At that time, the antidote will be distributed to the sick people for free... However, the notice must emphasize that once the antidote is developed, the antidote will be given priority to patients who enter the isolation zone. When distributing the antidote, you are in the back, and you have to pay a certain amount of medical expenses...!"

Zhou Renkang immediately said: "Your Excellency is wise!"

The county magistrate couldn't help asking: "My lord, even though many people are infected with the epidemic, they may not know that they are infected, so what should I do?"

"The governor has already asked the doctor about the symptoms of the infection. First, sweating and fever, followed by signs of dizziness, dry mouth, and dry mouth. When the body starts to swell, the situation is already very serious." Chu Huan said solemnly: "In addition to setting up an isolation center, you must immediately organize all the doctors who are proficient in medical skills in Qingtang County to set up a medical center near the isolation center. If anyone has the early symptoms mentioned by the governor, regardless of whether they are infected with the epidemic, they have the right It is also obligatory to go to the hospital for diagnosis!"

"Obligation?" The officials couldn't understand for a while.

Chu Huan sighed: "In other words, everyone is eligible to enter the medical center for free to receive a diagnosis, to check whether they are infected, and not only qualified, but also responsible to go to the medical center. Hiding and not accepting the diagnosis is harming others and oneself, once the government finds out, it will be severely punished!"

Zhou Renkang understood, and cupped his hands and said, "I understand." After a pause, he asked cautiously: "My lord, this... Whether it is setting up an isolation hall or a medical center, it will cost a lot of money. ...Will the imperial court allocate money? Besides, if a quarantine zone is set up, the patients infected by the epidemic will have to be locked up at that time, and the rations...where will the rations come from?"

As soon as Chu Huan thought about money and food, it became very troublesome. Although the emperor promised to transfer some grain to him from Anyi Road, it was Chu Huan's plan to use it as grain. The area of ​​cultivated land on Xiguan Road ranked first among the three northwest roads. However, relying solely on the grain seeds raised by the seven surnames in Xiguan, even if all of them are planted, it may not be able to reach half of the cultivated land area, and large tracts of cultivated land in Xiguan must not be left empty.

Only when you are the master of your own country can you know the difficulties of being the master of the family, especially when you have no money and no food. Before Chu Huan officially arrived to take up his post, he already felt that the chair of the governor of Xiguan Road was too hot and it was really difficult to sit on.

"Is there any food in the county warehouse?" Chu Huan asked, "There is always some warehouse silver in your county?"

Zhou Renkang said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency, there is still a little food in stock. It is the last food in the county. As far as Ruokuyin is concerned, there is not much left. It is not enough to do things."

"Don't worry about so much, just take out how much you have, human life is at stake." Chu Huan said seriously: "The governor will find a way, and I will send you money and food soon...!"

Zhou Renkang and the officials of Qingtang County all looked at each other in blank dismay, with doubts deep in their eyes. In fact, although these people's official positions are not high, they are not stupid people. Everyone knows that Chu Huan came to the Northwest to take up his post. It was sitting on a pile of mud, short of money and food. It was hard for many people to believe that Chu Huan really had enough financial and material resources to organize this action against the plague.

Chu Huan picked up the teacup and seemed to be tasting the tea, but his eyes passed by, and he naturally saw the suspicion in everyone's eyes, put down the teacup, and said lightly: "Since the governor has let go, naturally he will not go back on his word, and you don't have to doubt me. Superintendent, you can do whatever the governor asks you to do, and if you can’t pull out the money when the time comes, I will give you an explanation when I become an official robe!”

When everyone heard what Chu Huan said, they stood up and fell to their knees: "Don't dare, my lord's words are too serious, and I will obey your orders!"

Chu Huan raised his hand to get everyone to stand up, and said, "In addition to setting up isolation centers and medical centers to isolate the source of the disease, there is one more thing that is even more important than this!"

Zhou Renkang hurriedly asked, "What does your lord mean?"

"Corpse!" Chu Huan said solemnly: "On the way the governor came, I saw many tombs along the way, and even saw the bones on the side of the abandoned road... Let's talk about those tombs, Mr. Zhou, they are organized by the county. Buried?"

Zhou Renkang immediately raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, many refugees from the north came here before. In our Qingtang County, there were many refugees who froze to death in winter and starved to death due to food shortages. There are also those who were killed because of fighting, and many places were casually discarded corpses. The subordinate officials couldn't bear it when they saw it, so they cooperated with the Lizheng, Baochang, etc. of the villages under the county to mobilize their labor force Those corpses left in the open will be buried."

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Did you spend a lot of money?"

Zhou Renkang said: "I am not a talented official. I have been in office for many years. I have always been committed to the hearts of the people and to promote benevolence and righteousness. The people in Qingtang County are pure and kind. Although the organization of burying the corpses was initiated by the lower officials, all the villages and towns under their jurisdiction responded. The official's call was very positive, but it didn't cost any money...!"

Chu Huan sighed, and said, "Lord Zhou, you don't have to hide it from the governor. Could it be that you didn't transfer the money?"

"I don't dare to be an official!" Zhou Renkang knelt down, "Your Excellency, it is really the people of Qingtang County who are benevolent, they...!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Don't say any more, you are still deceiving me? I don't need to ask, I know that you forced labor and gave the task of labor. It's not that they don't want to pay, but that you, Mr. Zhou, didn't think about it." Don't pay them... Zhou Renkang, Zhou Renkang, don't think about it, the common people are the most taboo about corpses, if it's their own family members, they will scramble to bury dead people who are not relatives or relatives? They really don't Opportunity? If the government hadn't forced them to work without pay, how could they take the initiative to bury the corpses of people who were not relatives?"

Zhou Renkang was sweating on his brow, lying on the ground, tremblingly said: "Your Excellency, the Governor, has clearly observed, I'm an official...I deserve to die for the crime, the county is really unable to pay me...!"

"Get up!" Chu Huan raised his hand and sighed: "Although the method is wrong, but the thing done is right, the corpse should have been buried. You should also go and look at those tombs, it is really a tofu project, even the corpse is not buried properly , the hands and feet are still leaking out, even if there is no source of disease coming from those tombs in the future, but they are buried like that, those innocent souls are willing? The living see, the tombs are surrounded by long hands and feet, and they are scared to death...!"

Zhou Renkang understood what Chu Huan meant, and immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, the officials will reorganize and bury it again, and this situation will never happen again...!"

"If the county can't get the money for the time being, I should give them a promise." Chu Huan said slowly: "Always let them have something to look forward to, so that they can do it with strength. Isn't the old saying right? Let the horse run away." Hurry up, it’s good to be fed first, there are no benefits, who will really do things with heart? Don’t worry everyone here, this time you and Ben Du will face difficulties together, work together to overcome this hurdle, Ben Du Naturally, I will not treat you badly. Those who should be promoted are promoted, and those who should be rewarded. This governor puts his words here. If you follow this governor with all your heart, if this governor fails to treat you well in the future, it is because this governor is not particular, this governor He is not worthy to sit on the chair of the governor of Xiguan."

"It's all at the governor's command!" Everyone stood up immediately, and respectfully said: "The lower officials will definitely do their best to tide over the difficulties together, and dare not disappoint the governor's high expectations!"

"Decomposed corpses should be burned on the spot if possible." Chu Huan ordered: "The best way to prevent the spread of the dead body disease is to destroy the corpses."

"I'm afraid it will offend the common people." Zhou Renkang hurriedly said, "It's okay to bury the body of his parents, but some family members may not agree to burn the body. I'm afraid something will happen...!"

"In an extraordinary time, do extraordinary things!" Chu Huan said seriously: "Decomposed corpses are the most likely to become the source of disease. Even if they are buried, it may not be useful. Burn what should be burned. Don't be soft. If someone really makes trouble Let them come to find the governor, there are already many incidents in the northwest, and the governor doesn’t care about more troubles.” Thinking of something, he confessed: “You can call up people now to prepare to rebury the corpse, but don’t act for now, tonight The governor will invite the doctors of the county to a banquet, and discuss with them a way to guarantee the safety of those who buried the corpses...!" After thinking for a while, he asked Zhou Renkang: "Master Zhou, do you know about gas masks? "

Zhou Renkang was startled, then shook his head blankly.
