Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 128 Busy
After the discussion about drinking water just now, no one had any objections this time.

All nodded in agreement.

On the other side, there was a scribe who was writing furiously.

Record everything Zhu Xiuyuan said in the book.

Not surprisingly, this record will be extremely valuable in the next few days!

The scribe who recorded it also knew the weight of this record, so he did not dare to neglect it.

Although Zhu Xiuyuan spoke very quickly, the scribe's writing speed was not slow either.

The scribe was professional and could just keep up with Zhu Xiuyuan's explanation speed.

"The next point is called 'environmental sanitation'. Everyone's clothes can be tattered, but they must be clean and changed once a day. Everyone needs to bathe once a day, and the bathing water must be soaked in herbs. Water. There are also various residues. They are not allowed to be thrown away randomly. They must be placed in one place and burned."

"As for the dead of people infected with the plague, their corpses need to be cremated and burned immediately, and their clothes and other common items must also be burned together. Quicklime is used to disinfect everywhere every day. Of course, specific herbs can also be burned and smoked to disinfect... …”

"The third point is the issue of medicine and treatment." Zhu Xiuyuan paused, looked at the palace steward, and said: "Steward, this point requires the guidance and cooperation of your palace's Divine Doctor Zhang."

"I wish you peace of mind, Mr. Zhang, the old master will cooperate with Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and continued: "At that time, please ask Divine Doctor Zhang to lead all the doctors in the city to diagnose, treat, and prescribe medicine for those infected with the plague. In addition, people who are not infected with the plague also need to drink medicine to avoid contracting the plague."

"The fourth point is to clean up the unclean things. Whether it is people spreading filth or various rotting corpses, etc., we need to burn them together or bury them in the deep soil!"

……

After Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking on the four points, he handed over the "baton" to Dong Cheng.

Faced with such a chaotic and complicated situation, among everyone present, Dong Cheng was probably the only one who had the ability to sort it out quickly.

Zhu Xiuyuan's eloquent talk just now can actually be said to be "talking on paper."

Dong Cheng is still needed to make overall arrangements.

Dong Cheng lived up to expectations and quickly sorted out a thread among the myriad of things.

And immediately turn those clues into tasks.

Arranged one by one for the five Caos participating in the army except Zhu Xiuyuan, the leaders of the third class of government servants, and the county magistrate of Xunyang and others.

Of course, not all clues can be transformed into tasks that can be directly executed.

There are still two major problems that need to be solved.

One is the issue of food.

More than half of the [-] shi of grain confiscated last time have been lost after a few days of eating.

There are hundreds of thousands of people waiting to eat this batch of food. How long can a mere [-] shi of food last?
Therefore, it is urgent to find new sources of food to successfully survive this tragic plague.

The second is the issue of medicinal herbs.

Nowadays, the market in Jiangzhou is flooded with a large number of fake medicines, which are mixed with real medicines, which is really a headache.

……

The five Cao Cao served in the military, the three squadrons of yamen, the Xunyang County magistrate, and even the palace steward.

After receiving the mission from Dong Cheng, he immediately went to gather manpower.

They were gearing up for a vigorous "big movement."

Dong Cheng took it upon himself to "solve the food crisis".

Zhu Xiuyuan took on the issue of “solving the issue of counterfeit medicines”.

After the two sons-in-law cherished each other, they each took their men and went about their own affairs...

The gate of Jiangzhou Yamen.

After watching his father-in-law's carriage go away, Zhu Xiuyuan stepped into his carriage.

"My dear friend, where are we going?" Yan Dashan asked.

"Go back to the mansion first." Zhu Xiuyuan thought for a while.

"Okay!" The coachman agreed and immediately drove in the direction of Dong's Mansion.

Soon, the carriage stopped on the street in front of the gate of Dong Mansion, and Zhu Xiuyuan jumped off the carriage.

He glanced back and forth.

I saw that in front of the gate of Dong's Mansion, the streets in front and back were all empty, there was no one.The door of Dong's Mansion was also tightly closed.

So desolate!

Shaking his head, Zhu Xiuyuan and Yan Dashan approached the door. Zhu Xiuyuan looked over and Yan Dashan immediately understood and knocked on the door with his hand.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of the door knocking was extremely loud.

In fact, Yan Dashan didn't use much force, but it was too quiet on the street, so the sound of knocking on the door seemed to be particularly loud.

"Who is it?" A voice came from the door, with a sense of tension.

"Is it the butler? It's me. Open the door." Zhu Xiuyuan shouted loudly.

"So it's uncle, please wait a moment..."

Soon, the closed door opened.

The housekeeper poked his head out, and when he saw that the person who came was indeed Zhu Xiuyuan, he opened the door wide.

He gave way to the door: "Uncle, please come in!"

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded, and stepped into the gate with one step, followed by Yan Dashan.

The housekeeper immediately directed the two boys to close the door and pull the thick bolt.

Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Without commenting on their caution, he just asked: "Where are the eldest lady and the lady?"

"Back to my uncle, the eldest young lady and the second young lady are both in the Buddhist hall."

"Oh."

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and immediately walked towards the Buddhist hall.

Yan Dashan did not follow him. He waited at the door, waiting for Zhu Xiuyuan to come out before he could follow his benefactor out again.

The housekeeper, like a doorkeeper, moved a chair and sat down, keeping his eyes fixed on the door with the thick bolt closed...

The Buddhist hall of Dong's Mansion is located in the deepest part of the courtyard, a place with a quiet environment and not easily disturbed.

Zhu Xiuyuan walked through the front hall, middle hall, and back hall in turn.

After walking through two courtyards, we entered the Buddhist hall.

This Buddhist temple is said to have been built by a certain lady from the ancestor of the Dong family. It is probably more than 100 years old now.

However, at this time, Zhu Xiuyuan obviously had no intention of studying history.

To be honest, whether they can survive this plague is actually very mysterious.

Although the various methods Zhu Xiuyuan proposed in the yamen just now are good, factors such as medicine and executive power have always restricted the entire process of fighting the plague...

Zhu Xiuyuan walked into the Buddhist hall lightly.

I saw a golden Buddha statue in the middle, with one on each side, three in total, all with golden bodies.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn’t know much about Buddhist statues.

It can only be seen that one of them is Guanyin Bodhisattva.

As for the other two statues, I don’t know what kind of Buddha or Bodhisattva they are.

In front of the three Buddha statues, each has a bronze incense burner with three legs and two ears.

There are three sticks of incense in the incense burner, half of which have been burned.

The incense burns out, leaving only a few people in the room.

There were several large plates of tributes on the table.

There are various fruits, various pastries, and a roast chicken...

and many more!

Roast chicken?

Isn't that a meat dish?

When can we serve meat dishes when paying tribute to Buddha statues?
