Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 217 Prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, ancient soap!

In Qingzhou Mansion, Su Jing has already taken over.

Now that the plague situation is serious, it is not advisable to entangle Zhu Biao's identity.

"Master Zhifu, if you want to deal with the plague, you must first understand the plague."

Su Jing said to Jia Shaozu: "To put it bluntly, a plague is an outbreak of an infectious disease. It is a disease!"

"To deal with the plague, we mainly start from two directions. One is to cut off the transmission route. Now the isolation of various places in Qingzhou Prefecture is a very effective measure. At the same time, we must pay attention to disinfect the daily utensils of the plague patients, whether it is clothes, towels, cups, bowls and chopsticks. All the things must be boiled in boiling water before they can be used again.”

"Everyday residents should wear gauze masks. I will teach you how to make them later."

"The second is to control the source of infection. The main cause of the plague is poor sanitation. Strengthening sanitation is very important. All corners of the city, especially the gathering places of snakes, insects, rats and ants, are directly disinfected with quicklime. Those who have already been infected with the plague Dead animals, including human corpses, should not be buried, but all should be burned."

"Of course, in addition to these two points, it is also necessary to protect the susceptible population, and conduct centralized isolation for the old, young, sick, and disabled who have poor physical fitness and have not been infected with the plague."

……

Su Jing talked eloquently, mainly talking about the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.

In the previous life, the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases was taught from school, and Su Jing still remembered it quite clearly.

The general direction is very clear and clear, Jia Shaozu still has a level as the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture.

Soon he understood Su Jing's prevention and treatment strategy.

Don't look at his decisiveness in agreeing to Zhu Biao, it's all because of Zhu Biao's status as the prince.

Everyone in the Ming court knew that Zhu Biao was the next emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao is now in Qingzhou Mansion, which is equivalent to Zhu Yuanzhang's presence in person.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang didn't order him, the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture, to listen to Zhu Biao, when Zhu Biao spoke, Jia Shaozu directly took it as Zhu Yuanzhang's speech.

Regardless of Zhu Biao's level, at least he is kind-hearted.

If something goes wrong, Zhu Biao will definitely not sit idly by.

But in Jia Shaozu's heart, he didn't approve of Su Jing very much.

Firstly, as the magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture, he has not stayed in Yingtian recently, so he is relatively unfamiliar with the name Su Jing.

The second is that the plague has always been a big problem. Even though it has happened many times in history, there will still be consequences.

Qingzhou Mansion is not a small place. If you want to manage the plague in this mansion, you have to be level-headed.

But only after listening to Su Jing for a while, Jia Shaozu already admired Su Jing quite a lot.

Well-organized, that is logical and clear, simple and clear.

Not only the content in the general direction, but also the control of the details.

Su Jing even gave suggestions on how the grassroots officials should implement them more efficiently, which was very nuanced.

At least from the perspective of Jia Shaozu's level, the plan given by Su Jing is feasible.

As for the effect, it depends on the implementation situation.

"That's about it, Mr. Prefect, I mainly provide ideas, and the specific implementation is still up to you."

Su Jing said to Jia Shaozu.

Su Jing also understood very well that although Zhu Biao had a lot of face and Jia Shaozu, the magistrate, was willing to hand over power, he had just arrived after all.

The specific operation of arranging people to do things is definitely not as good as Jia Shaozu's.

I came here to cooperate with the fight against the plague, not to seize power.

"Thank you Mr. Su for your advice. After listening to Mr. Su's words, Jia only feels better than studying for ten years."

Jia Shaozu said seriously.

Regardless of the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, it was only the most basic thing in Su Jing's previous life.

But in the Ming Dynasty, when there was no accurate understanding of infectious diseases, this thing was a dimensionality reduction blow.

A complete dimensionality reduction blow.

Zhu Biao on the side was not idle either, and kept copying with a pen and paper.

These are Su Jing's first-hand methods of preventing and controlling the plague, and it will definitely be useful to compile them into a book in the future.

"Master Zhifu, let's arrange it as soon as possible. The sooner it is implemented, the better it will be for the common people."

Su Jing said to Jia Shaozu.

"Yes yes yes! Mr. Su is righteous!"

Jia Shaozu nodded quickly, and immediately started to make arrangements.

Although it was very late at the moment, none of the people present had any intention of going to sleep. It was related to the people of Qingzhou Prefecture, and there was no room for carelessness.

Following Su Jing's guidance, the entire Qingzhou government began to carry out the prevention and control of the plague in an orderly manner.

Every county and city has spared no effort in the eradication work.

Whether it is controlling the source of infection or cutting off the transmission route, they are all carried out simultaneously.

All kinds of dark corners in the town are not spared.

Animal dead bodies, as well as some filthy things, were burned intensively.

The homemade gauze masks were also distributed in time, and the people were organized to make their own.

A distinction is made between those who are infected with the plague and those who are not.

Most importantly, all drinking water and food must be sterilized by high temperature.

For the cleaning of hands, it is universal.

The ancients knew that diseases come from the mouth, but they didn't understand the concept of viruses and bacteria. They knew how to pay attention to food, but they didn't pay attention to hand hygiene.

Su Jing felt like she was spreading some basic health knowledge.

"Mr. Su, you can see that there is no problem with this arrangement."

Inside the government office, Jia Shaozu took his latest plan and handed it to Su Jing.

In the past few days of working with Su Jing, he found that Su Jing's management level is really quite high.

For many things, the best solution is given in the fastest time.

Jia Shaozu was used to it, he made up his own mind, and let Su Jing show it to find out what's wrong.

"Well, there is basically no problem with the plan of the magistrate, and it should be possible to carry it out."

Su Jing nodded after seeing it.

He also did not expect that the level of ancient administrative management was not as high as he imagined.

I was only at the level of managing an enterprise with tens of thousands of people in my previous life, but it is quite enough here.

Many concepts of modern management, although limited by the level of science and technology, cannot be completely copied to Qingzhou Prefecture, but the core ideas can be inherited.

Generally speaking, under the guidance of Su Jing, Qingzhou Prefecture's epidemic prevention and control work is very efficient and remarkable.

In just three days, the situation in the entire Qingzhou Mansion has been clearly contained.

The control of the source of infection and the route of transmission directly reduced the spread of the plague by several levels.

Various disinfection and treatment work also improved the symptoms of the people infected with the plague.

This kind of performance, whether it is Zhu Biao or Jia Shaozu, is quite shocking.

Because they had never seen the plague being controlled so quickly, the effect was too obvious!

"Mr. Su is truly a man of heaven. Jia Shao's ancestors thanked Mr. Su on behalf of the people of Qingzhou Mansion!"

Jia Shaozu knelt down directly towards Su Jing to express his gratitude.

As the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture, he also misses the common people.

"Master Zhifu, this matter is not my responsibility alone. Without your full cooperation, Mr. Zhifu, the plague in Qingzhou Prefecture would not have been contained so quickly."

Su Jing immediately helped Jia Shaozu up.

In these three days, Jia Shaozu did a lot, and Su Jing also noticed it.

"Mr. Su, you don't have to refuse. Without you, even if there are a few more Jia Shaozu, the result will be the same."

Jia Shaozu still knelt in front of Su Jing, very sincere.

Now he has been completely convinced by Su Jing.

"Okay, Mr. Zhifu, the prevention and control work will continue now, and we must not take it lightly. We must continue to let this plague completely recede."

Su Jing had no choice but to move out of the plague directly.

It is obviously unrealistic to completely prevent and control the plague in three days.

There is still a lot of work ahead.

"Mr. Su is right, but we should not take it lightly."

Jia Shaozu nodded and returned to work.

With Su Jing's guidance in front of him, Jia Shaozu's work is also very smooth now, and the number of questions to Su Jing has become less and less.

Su Jing's affairs are much less.

But he was not idle, but found some materials.

For leftover seafood and shells, Shandong is mostly along the coast, and Qingzhou Prefecture naturally has seafood.

After washing the shells, Su Jing put them in a charcoal stove and fired them. The burnt shells were taken out and crushed into powder in a mortar.

This is calcium carbonate.

Then I brought some plant ash, and I could get a lot of these from the kitchen.

Pour the plant ash into the clear water, and then stir continuously to quickly dissolve the potassium salt in the plant ash.

Finally, filter the boiled solution with gauze to obtain alkaline water.

Calcium carbonate is added to alkaline water, stirred to dissolve, and then filtered to obtain high-concentration alkaline water.

Then take the liquid lard, pour the precipitated high-concentration alkaline water into the lard, and then add the fine salt that has been prepared long ago.

The lard and alkali undergo a saponification reaction, and the lard is continuously stirred until it becomes a paste.

Then put these pastes into the prepared bamboo tubes and put them in a cool place to dry.

After the paste in the bamboo tube is completely dried, the bamboo tube can be cut open to obtain white soap.

"Whoo~~~~~~"

Su Jing looked at the soap in front of her and exhaled lightly, and said, "Fortunately, I haven't forgotten the saponification reaction, and it's finally done."

It is really a challenge for Su Jing to use chemical knowledge to make soap in ancient times

"Master Su, what is this?"

Looking at the white soap in front of him, Zhu Biao was very curious.

Su Jing picked up the soap and said: "This is soap, remove the soap character in the acacia, and the soap uses lard, which is fat meat, so it is called soap."

"And the function of soap is similar to that of acacia, mainly for decontamination."

Su Jing directly made up the origin of the name of the soap, and it was so straightforward, it really seemed like that.

"Soap?"

Zhu Biao looked at the white solid in his hand, still curious.

"Try it and you'll know."

Su Jing said with a smile.

Zhu Biao immediately fetched a rag from the kitchen, looked at Su Jing again and said, "Master Su, how should I use this soap?"

"Easy, just rub it on the things you want to wash."

Su Jing guided.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao tried it immediately, and under the strong decontamination effect of soap, the oil stains on the rag were quickly removed.

"Master Su, it's really possible! The effect of this soap is too good!"

When at Su Jing's house, Zhu Biao also washed dishes.

Generally speaking, plant ash is the most used for decontamination.

However, although the effect of plant ash is not bad, it is more troublesome and looks more buried.

In contrast, soap is very advanced.

"Unfortunately, this soap is made from lard."

Zhu Biao shook his head slightly and sighed.

In the Ming Dynasty, lard was still a very precious thing, or in other words, fat was very precious.

Used to make soap, the price of this soap must be high.

The only ones who can use it are those who are either rich or expensive.

What Zhu Biao thought of was still the common people.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Niu Yi, it is true that soap is a luxury for ordinary people to use for daily cleaning, but when this kind of plague is prevalent, it is a cleaning tool that can be easily carried."

"A bar of soap is just for washing hands, and there are still a lot of times it can be used."

Su Jing never thought of popularizing soap in the daily life of the common people.

He just wanted to use the cleaning effect of soap to better prevent the plague.

In special times, the consumption of this bit of lard is nothing compared to the damage caused by the plague.

"Washing your hands?"

Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Master Su, why are you so obsessed with washing your hands?"

Zhu Biao has been watching and recording Su Jing's plague prevention and control work these days.

The one that interested him the most was that Su Jing emphasized washing hands many times, and in many scenarios, washing hands must be done.

In Zhu Biao's perception, washing hands most of the time is a manifestation of etiquette.

"It's very simple, because the hands are not clean."

Su Jing replied: "Many times, the food is clean, but because our hands are not clean, this leads to the occurrence of diseases."

"I asked the people in the plague area to implement the serving chopsticks system, which is also a consideration in this regard."

"The plague is everywhere and attached to many places. Only by doing a good job of these daily cleaning and barriers can we achieve the current prevention and control effect."

Regarding the knowledge of bacteria and viruses, Su Jing is not in a hurry to teach Zhu Biao.

This is the content of the system. You have to start from scratch with a little bit of foundation, and step by step is the correct way to learn.

"Students understand."

Zhu Biao nodded, and then went to find materials to make soap by himself.

He has read and recorded all the process of making soap, and it is not difficult.

During the prevention and control of this plague, Zhu Biao did nothing. Now that he has something he can do, he naturally wants to do it.

……

Ying Tianfu.

Forbidden City.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been paying attention to the plague in Qingzhou Prefecture.

After Jia Shaozu saw Zhu Biao, he immediately wrote back to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Of course, there is still some delay in time.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew about Zhu Biao's actions, and also knew that Su Jing was in charge of the prevention and control of the plague in Qingzhou Prefecture.

Now, the latest news came again.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to open the booklet, wanting to see the situation of Qingzhou Mansion.

This is not just a matter of Zhu Biao, a prince, but also concerns hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture.
