At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 419 Mr. Puji
Lantian County, Dongxiang Inspection Department.

Daming's official position is as low as the county level, and when it comes to townships, it is the head of the Baochang and Lichang, which is no longer part of the official establishment of the government.

However, since the Hongwu year, a large number of inspection departments have been set up in towns and towns across the country.

The inspection department integrates military administration, criminal name, and civil affairs. It is subordinate to the county government, and the chief officer is Zhengjiupin inspection.

Dongxiang inspector Qiu Yuan has been very busy recently, because the local miasma is raging.

From a small number of people at the beginning, to hundreds of people later, some villages and even the whole village began to get sick, mainly manifested by symptoms such as diarrhea and fever, and it almost became a plague.

Faced with the sudden illness, Qiu Yuan had to report it to the court, but he did not get a reply for a long time.

During this period, a strange person came.

This person called himself Mr. Puji, and seemed to be a wandering doctor.

Qiu Yuan was still waiting for relief from the imperial court, and he was in no mood to pay attention to a doctor. When Mr. Puji arrived in Dongxiang, he didn't visit him, but went directly to the people to treat illnesses and save lives.

Half a month later, finally, the imperial envoy of the imperial court arrived late.

This person is a doctor of the eighth grade in Taiyuan Hospital, named Jiao Xin.

Qiu Yuan longed for the stars and the moon, and finally hoped to come to rescue soldiers, wishing to confess Jiao Xin as his ancestor.

When Jiao Xin's chariots and horses arrived in Dongxiang, they assumed the posture of an imperial envoy and talked eloquently. It seemed that the disease in Dongxiang would be gone with just one move.

After all, he is a court physician, so he still has some confidence in this.

However, things backfired. After several days of diagnosis and treatment, the miasma was still spreading, and it seemed to be getting worse.

Qiu Yuan was worried about one head and two big ones, but he didn't dare to say anything against Jiao Xin.

"Physician Jiao, look at this..."

With a cold face, Jiao Xin said: "This disease is not difficult to cure, it's just that the infection is repeated. If the disease in the east of the village is cured, there will be a riot in the west village, and the disease in the west village will be cured, and the east village will make trouble again. It's very difficult to deal with it like this. gone."

"Yes, yes, what Imperial Physician Jiao said is absolutely true!"

Qiu Yuan had no choice but to agree, and asked cautiously: "According to the opinion of the imperial physician, what should I do?"

Jiao Xin snorted softly, and said, "It's impossible to completely eradicate the epidemic. Qiu Xunjian must be prepared."

"Be... what kind of preparations?"

"If some villages are seriously ill, we can only send soldiers and horses to guard them and let them fend for themselves."

"This……"

Qiu Yuan gasped, and was horrified that Jiao Xin meant to abandon the village that was severely affected by the epidemic.

Jiao Xin gave him a meaningful look, and said, "Only by this method can the disease be eradicated."

Qiu Yuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Yes, those who got sick would die, so there would be no source of infection.

However, if this method is followed, how many people will die?

Although he was just a small inspector, he also knew that the current emperor attached great importance to the people. If so many people died under his rule, even if he was able to make a job, his inspection might come to an end.

"Doctor Jiao, is there no other way?"

Jiao Xin was dissatisfied and said: "When I was treating patients, you also saw that those who took the medicine had obviously recovered, but were infected again by other infected people. If this continues, don't say you are a little Dongxiang. The whole Lantian County will suffer!"

Qiu Yuan's hair was covered with white hair, he really didn't expect that the matter was so serious.

If you think about it carefully, what people say is not unreasonable. The difficulty of this disease lies in the word infection. If the flow of people cannot be controlled, it will be absolutely difficult to cure it.

Could it be that those people can only be left to fend for themselves...

"Qiu Xunjian, if you continue to hesitate, this imperial physician will have to return to Beijing to return to his orders!"

"Physician Jiao, think of a way, so many people..."

"I've already told you the method. If you don't give an order, the imperial court will also issue an order after this imperial doctor returns to Beijing. At that time, those people will still die."

"But, but..."

Qiu Yuan kept wiping away his sweat, but found that his hands were shaking involuntarily.

Seeing this, Jiao Xin said again: "This is a natural disaster, and it's not because Qiu's inspection is not doing well. The imperial court will not blame it."

"OK then!"

Qiu Yuan finally compromised, because he really had no better way.

If you want to eradicate this epidemic completely, you can only sacrifice some people...

The common people were suffering from the disease, and when they heard that the officers and soldiers were coming and they were forbidden to go out, they were confused at first, but later, when some people heard the news and the news spread, they immediately exploded.

Qiu Yuan knew that no one wanted to sit at home and wait to die, but he had no choice.

The only way is to order the officers and soldiers to strictly guard against death, and if they encounter troublemakers, they will fight directly.

This has completely aroused public grievances, and conflicts between villagers and officers and soldiers have continued.

Qiu Yuan feels like sitting on pins and needles every day, but Jiao Xin sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, looking confident.

"Don't be sour-faced by inspector Qiu. As long as the source of infection is cut off and the disease is eliminated, the imperial court will not blame him, but reward him instead."

At this time, an officer ran in hastily and said, "My lord, I caught a troublemaker!"

Qiu Yuan became nervous all of a sudden, and said angrily: "I've said it all, I told you to catch him, what are you doing here?"

This disease is contagious. If you bring someone to the inspection department, wouldn't you be putting yourself in it?
"Master, this person is not a local villager."

Hearing what the officer said, Qiu Yuan thought it was a merchant from another place, so he said: "This is an extraordinary period, if you are a foreigner, let him return to his hometown immediately, and don't make trouble here!"

"But... this person came to the Inspection Department by himself, and said... he said some nasty things..."

"What did you say?"

"This person is yelling at the gate of the inspection department, saying that the adults are confused and disregarding the lives of the people..."

In fact, the scolding was a hundred times worse than this, but the servant did not dare to repeat the original words.

"Who is it that dares to be so rude?"

Qiu Yuan is already full of anger, and it's not that I don't want to treat it, there is really no way!

But I don't know which one is not open-eyed, and ran to find it boring. If I don't beat him up today, I will treat my Ninth-Rank Inspection as a display?
"This person calls himself... Mr. Puji!"

"Mr. Pudge?"

Qiu Yuan seemed to have some impressions, and asked: "The wandering doctor who came a few days ago?"

"Master, that's right!"

Qiu Yuan thought for a while and said, "Let him in, I'd like to see if he has some good cure for the disease?"

When Jiao Xin heard the word Lang Zhong, his face was full of disdain, and he said: "What do you want to do with the words of a charlatan, just order someone to fork it out!"

Qiu Yuan waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Didn't you hear what Doctor Jiao said, drive him away!"

"Yes!"

The guard turned and left, but he returned in a hurry after a while.

"Master Inspector, this man said... that he has a cure!"
