Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 82

In his own name, Cheng Nuoduo distributed some food to the middle-aged people, but there wasn't too much. If they came here to escape, no one had any special circumstances. Giving too much would only increase jealousy, and it would only be used in disaster relief operations. to negative effects.

However, the middle-aged man mentioned the information inadvertently, which attracted Cheng Nuo's attention, and post-disaster prevention and control is especially important.Especially after earthquakes or floods, the problem will become more serious, and there will often be epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases in the disaster-stricken areas, making "there must be epidemics after major disasters" almost a terrifying inevitable law.

Although it is only a local "small disaster", there are thousands of people behind it, and if we don't pay attention to it and let it spread, there will be big troubles.

Calling Zhang Jian, a group of people began to investigate in the disaster area.

It’s okay if you don’t investigate. Once the investigation is full of problems, there are more or less some intestinal diseases. The reason is that everyone does not pay attention to hygiene. Some things that are regarded as common sense of hygiene in the eyes of future generations, the victims of the disaster are also concerned. I don't have this awareness.

Seeing Cheng Nuo's brows furrowed tightly, Zhang Jian knew that he had seen some tricks, so he said: "Zhiyuan, along the way, more than half of our compatriots will suffer from the disease. The problem is still very serious. If you know something You can tell me directly."

When it came to medicine, Cheng Nuo decided that it would be better to wait for professionals to come and see what they said, and then he would make supplements after listening to it himself, and the prevention and control measures would be more scientific.

"I do have some immature thoughts in my heart, but I'm not good at medicine. The most important thing is to cure the disease. Let's invite the doctor first."

Zhang Jian stopped talking and ordered his subordinates to invite a doctor, but what he didn't expect was that an old scholar came.

After looking at the disease and flipping through the medical books, the patient's face twitches every time he flips it. In the end, the patient's face has no trace of blood, and his eyes are blankly looking at the sky. I am afraid that he has accepted his "fate".

Cheng Nuo was taken aback by this set, and thought that if he remembered correctly, the patient just had a little diarrhea, so it shouldn't be like this.

Under everyone's concerned gaze, the old pedant finally closed his book and let out a long sigh.

"Fortunately, my life is not disgraceful, everyone, I can see the illness."

"Tell me quickly, old man, what happened to my old man? He has been vomiting and diarrhea since last night. He vomited as much as he ate, and all he vomited was yellow water. He still has loose bowels, and there is only a piece of skin left on his body."

"Father, you can't leave. Our family will be broken up if you leave. Tell me quickly where you hide all the money."

"Daddy, don't go, woo woo."

Concerns, noises, and cries intertwined, and the whole room boiled like water.

Zhang Jian couldn't stand it anymore, picked up his crutches and knocked on the table hard, the scene calmed down instantly, and after a cold snort, he asked the old man:
"Sir, what is wrong with this person lying on the bed? Is there any way to save him? There are still many similar patients here. Please take care of me. I will definitely come to thank you afterwards."

"Being ill is not a serious illness." The old pedant stroked his beard, and said slowly: "It is caused by the unhealthy air of the four seasons in nature, mixed with the air of disease, corpse, and other filthy air on the ground. It is caused by qi, and under the interaction of internal and external factors, people fall down."

Most of the people present were relieved when they heard the first half of the sentence, but after the second half of the sentence, they felt that even if this person could live, it would be very difficult.

Zhang Jian recited it silently several times in his heart, but he couldn't taste anything, so he asked, "What are internal and external causes?"

This time the old pedant didn't reply in a hurry, he winked at the apprentice at the side, the apprentice immediately understood, and handed him the bong he was carrying to light it.

The old pedant drooped his eyelids, took a few puffs to see that the score was almost ready, and said: "The internal cause is the lack of righteousness of the human body caused by natural disasters or self-carelessness in life."

"The external cause is the accumulation and fumigation of the epidemic gas caused by various reasons in the outside world. When people are in it, they feel the disease, and their infection is also caused by the gas."

"Is there a cure for it?"

The old pedant stopped talking, and after squinting at Zhang Jian, he continued to smoke his pipe.

The meaning is obvious, you have to pay.

Rao Zhang Jian is well-informed and has never seen such a shameless old thing, but thanks to his high self-cultivation, there is no need to argue with this old pedant who is a few decades younger than him, so he will prepare in advance. Take out the medical fee.

I was not in a hurry to take it, but put it on the table, and the meaning was obvious: the money will be yours only after the countermeasure is said.

Seeing this, the old pedant immediately became more agile, handed the bong to the apprentice, and immediately picked up the brush and began to write on the paper.

Taking advantage of this time, Cheng Nuo also quietly observed from behind.

The above content is roughly as follows: the response to the epidemic is centered on nourishing the inside and avoiding the outside. On the one hand, it emphasizes strengthening the foundation, advocating tranquility and indifference, saving labor and few desires to enhance physical fitness, consolidate righteousness, and prevent external evils from invading; Avoid or suppress the plague by means of evasion, incense and use of plague pills, so that you will not be affected by it.

After reading it, Cheng Nuo always felt weird. He couldn't say it was wrong. He was also involved in prevention and control, and even gave specific measures.But to say that he is right is to violate his conscience. If he really follows the above, at least a few more people will die. Basically, they are relatively passive and introverted behaviors.

In fact, I can’t blame this old pedant. The feudal society and the government lack institutional regulations on health prevention and control, and they rarely take compulsory measures for this. It is difficult to directly monitor the health of the people Intervention, forcibly restricting certain physical behaviors of the people.

Liu Kui, a famous febrile disease expert during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, once commented on this: "The plague is the evil spirit of the heaven and the earth. If the righteousness of the human body is strong, the evil will not be able to do it. Therefore, avoid it by abstinence and labor, and still don't suffer from hunger to suffer from its spirit."

Under the influence of this long-standing thought of "no season and no time", a plague broke out after the 1668 earthquake in Zhengcheng, Gongzhou, Lu Province in 8.5, and even more people died of illness than the earthquake.

But having said that, before the emergence of antibiotics, although the West had created the theory of bacteria, Western medicine had no advantage over traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of epidemic diseases. effect.

So after politely sending the old scholar away, Zhang Jian found a place where no one was around and said to Cheng Nuo, "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. , with this recipe, the environment here will be very different.”

While affirming its efficacy, Cheng Nuo also reminded: "The old man's prescription seems to be unique, but Mr. Zhang, we also need to understand the effectiveness and necessity of quarantine."

After a pause, Cheng Nuo said again: "The tragedy of the Gengxu plague is vivid in our minds."

"Hiss." Zhang Jian took a sharp breath of air-conditioning, and instantly felt that the sun was much dimmer, and his eyes were solemn: "Zhiyuan, you reminded me right, let me think about it again."

1910 is the year of Gengxu in the lunar calendar, so the plague that broke out in that year is called the Gengxu plague.At that time, the source of the plague was the Far East of Russia, and later spread to Manzhouli in China. The infected people took the plague to Harbin and surrounding areas by train and other means of transportation, forming a larger source of plague spread, which not only ravaged the entire Northeast region, It also affected Zhili and Lu provinces, and was not completely wiped out until early April of the following year.

The whole process caused more than 6 deaths, and masks were invented during this period.

Because of the extremely strong contagiousness of the plague and the almost [-]% fatality rate at that time, Western medicine began to rise in China with the help of modern scientific instruments such as microscopes, and some people in the society began to notice the disadvantages of traditional Chinese medicine in prevention and control.

Seeing this, Cheng Nuo no longer concealed his strength, picked up a pen and copied some common sense of hygiene from later generations,

For example, uniformly arrange drinking water, require the victims to prohibit drinking raw water, boil it before drinking, put food in a dry and ventilated place, build temporary toilets and build tents to prevent water pollution caused by rainwater overflow. For patients who are already sick Carry out isolation, report symptoms in a timely manner, etc.

Including respiratory infectious diseases, digestive tract infectious diseases, skin diseases, natural foci diseases, and insect-borne infectious diseases, all of which are mentioned more or less. People read it several times.

However, these measures were resisted and resisted by the public to varying degrees at the beginning. Fortunately, with the support of Zhang Jian, they were implemented under both soft and hard measures, and the effect was gradually improved.

In order to reduce the public's resistance, Cheng Nuo decided to act as a director. He moved the things he learned in Shanghai to Tongzhou, and found a few young people with flexible minds to create a drama, the main content of which was to pay attention to hygiene. , I compiled a few jingles in the middle to deepen the impression:

"Winter goes to spring and magnolia fragrance comes,

Stomach disease suffering when,
The fiercest and most rampant,

Red and white adhesions hurt the heart,
Stomach pain from cold and heat,
sleepy in bed,
Sick family members are to be isolated,
Do not forget about stool disinfection,
Lime must be added to the dung,
The bacteria die instantly. "

For this era when entertainment life is extremely scarce, it is relatively normal for dramas to be popular, but what is surprising is that the jingle became popular first. It is catchy and popular, and it is well received. Published on "Shenbao", it became popular with everyone from north to south.

In a sense, it also promoted the popularity of vernacular Chinese, which is stronger than some literati's vernacular poems.

Gradually, the large-scale epidemic was brought under control, but when it came to dealing with the affected victims, everyone present was at a loss as to how to isolate them and how to deal with them after isolation, no one had experience.

After discussing with Zhang Jian, he still decided to send a telegram to the Shanghai stock market, inviting doctors from the Chinese Medical Association to come and treat the disease, and see if they had any special solutions.

After receiving the reply, the Chinese Medical Association was also very straightforward, and immediately prepared to send several experts with rich experience in prevention and control, led by Wu Lien-teh.
