Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 127 Prevention and Treatment
It was very late, and Dong Cheng just returned, and he was the only one.

"Everyone, the Governor locked himself in the back house of the Yamen and closed the door tightly. I shouted hoarsely, but I couldn't let them open the door. I... still haven't seen the Governor!"

Dong Cheng's voice became hoarse.

"Master Dong, the situation is urgent now. Since Governor Fang is unwilling to come and make suggestions, we might as well just ignore him. With or without him, I believe we can hold on!"

The palace steward said.

The status of the palace steward is very high, higher than everyone present.

So as soon as he spoke, the matter was almost finalized.

Afterwards, if the matter is really pursued, the Poyang Palace will naturally stand up and speak for Dong Cheng.

"Master Zhu, since you have a way to prevent and control the plague, it's up to you to make arrangements."

The palace steward said.

Zhu Xiuyuan saw that everyone acquiesced, so he did his part.

He walked among the crowd and saluted first.

"You're welcome, then. What's the latest situation?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked.

Just now, when everyone set off to look for the bosses, some people also went to inquire about the latest situation.

Now Zhu Xiuyuan asked about the latest situation.

"According to reports from people below, the number of infected people has increased by several thousand!" someone responded.

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and continued: "Just now, I have done a careful study and found out four ways to prevent and control the plague from the mixed records in the ancient book fragments!"

"Which four o'clock?" Dong Cheng asked hurriedly.

"Master Dong, don't be impatient. Let Mr. Zhu finish his words first." The palace steward waved his hand. He was the calmest one among the people.

"First of all, let's count the available manpower." Zhu Xiuyuan thought for a while and said.

"Yamen Prefecture has five hundred soldiers!"

"There are two hundred officials in total, including government officials and Liu Cao's civil servants."

"There are probably more than 3000 civilians."

"There are about two thousand young people gathered from the victims. By the way, there are also more than a thousand tea farmers from Fuliang County."

"The female relatives among the victims can also be used. I'm afraid there are thousands of them..."

"There are five hundred generals in the palace... Oops, I almost forgot. There are still a thousand soldiers left behind in the Jiangzhou camp. They will be transferred when I write a warrant..."

Everyone spoke one after another and the atmosphere was lively.

Zhu Xiuyuan listened carefully.

After everyone had finished talking, he spoke: "Compared with the hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangzhou City and the tens of thousands of people infected with the plague, we are probably seriously short of manpower."

"Moreover, our manpower may also be infected with the plague, which is even more insufficient."

Zhu Xiuyuan looked worried.

"My dear son-in-law, you don't need to worry about manpower. As you said just now, we have hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangzhou City. If we are really short of people, we can recruit civilian men from them."

Dong Cheng said.

"Okay, let me explain in detail what these four methods of preventing and controlling plague are." Zhu Xiuyuan nodded.

"The first point is that we must gather the people infected with the plague to avoid infecting more people! However, in the process of concentrating the people infected with the plague, we must be careful. Everyone must cover their mouth and nose with a towel. , Avoid direct contact with patients, so as not to infect yourself."

Everyone nodded.

This is easier to understand and can be summed up in one word - isolation!

But Zhu Xiuyuan added two more precautions: cover your mouth and nose and avoid direct contact with patients.

"Second point, as the saying goes, 'disease enters from the mouth,' so we must control the safety of everyone's drinking water and food." Zhu Xiuyuan added.

When everyone heard this, they felt confused.

Is there a saying that "diseases come from the mouth"?

They thought hard and found that they had indeed never heard of this saying.

But if you think about it more carefully, there is some truth to this saying.

Because they have heard another saying: If people eat whole grains, who can be free from disease?

Zhu Xiuyuan did not notice the little thoughts in everyone's minds, and continued: "First of all, it is the problem of water source. Whether it is the water you drink into your stomach, or the water used for washing hands, feet, bathing, and cooking, you need to use running water. , and there can be no dead things in the water! In addition, the most important thing is that the water you drink into your stomach must be boiled, and you are not allowed to drink raw water! After the water is boiled and cooled, you cannot drink it, it must be hot!"

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan said these words, everyone was confused again.

Think about the past when natural disasters or plagues broke out, people were thirsty, how could they care?

Not to mention drinking cold water, even if there is a rotting corpse soaking in the water source, you can still drink it...

This one is a bit "weird" to them.

However, because they already knew in advance that these strange regulations came from the fragments of the ancient book.

And that ancient book fragment had already made Zhu Xiuyuan make fried tea and abacus.

That is really a "heavenly book"!
Therefore, no one doubted what Zhu Xiuyuan said.

It’s just that I’m a little confused and uncomfortable with it.

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced around and saw the confusion in everyone's eyes.

He said helplessly: "Prince's housekeeper, father-in-law, and all of you, this point is very important! It must be implemented resolutely. If possible, if you catch a person who violates the rules, you will be severely punished to death, severely punished. Use it as a warning, because he will harm everyone!"

"hiss!"

Everyone couldn't stop breathing, was it necessary to make it so serious?
"I wish you to join the army, does it have to be like this? Is it too troublesome?" asked a certain Cao Shenjun.

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly felt a fire of samadhi in his heart, glared, and yelled: "Trouble!?"

"What we are facing is a tragic plague! How can we find it troublesome? We must do that, otherwise we will all die."

"It's a matter of life and death, do you still find it troublesome? If possible, we should not hesitate to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and use the death of a wrongdoer to warn everyone!"

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly went berserk, frightening everyone.

Especially the military member who just asked.

He was even more suppressed by Zhu Xiuyuan's aura, shrinking his neck and not daring to move.

"I agree with Mr. Zhu's words. Let me, the Prince of Poyang, be responsible for supervising the people's violations!" The Prince's housekeeper reacted first.

Dong Cheng also reacted and said to the palace steward: "Thank you very much, steward!"

"Good talk, good talk!"

After Zhu Xiuyuan and the others understood the seriousness of the matter, they continued.

"Okay, the next question is about eating."

"Same as drinking water, the food taken into the mouth must be clean and hot. The meat of dead animals is not edible, moldy food is not edible, and food from unknown sources is not edible."

"And the tableware must be put into boiling water for a quarter of an hour after each use. Tableware for normal people and tableware for people infected with the plague must also be stored and managed separately!"
