Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 144 Long Fight
"You said it!"

"Speak quickly, didn't you insist on telling us before? Why are you mute now?"

"Brother, please tell me the second point of plague prevention and control..."

"No, brother, let's talk about the third point. The third point is the most complicated..."

……

Facing the "enthusiastic" crowd, this member of the "publicity team" felt as sweet as drinking honey water.

It's not easy!

I remember at the beginning, their "propaganda team" beat gongs and drums, went from door to door, and even caught one person and started preaching methods to prevent and control the plague.

However, they are disgusted, disgusted and don’t want to hear it.

There are those with hot tempers who will curse hard when they open their mouths, and even worse, they will even hit people...

How wronged their "propaganda team" have been!
Haha, now it's the other way around.

This member of the "publicity team" is very busy and takes his time.

There was a smile at the corner of his mouth that said, "All hardships come with joy" and turned a deaf ear to everyone's chatter.

Don't be in a hurry, haha, let me give you a taste of anxiety!
"Okay, okay, you guys are so noisy and messy, how can this little brother calm down and answer questions?"

A prestigious person stepped out from the crowd of onlookers. As soon as he spoke, the chatter of the crowd stopped.

"Brother, do you think this is okay? Let them ask questions one by one. You..."

This prestigious man saw that the members of the "propaganda team" were still standing, so he turned around and ordered: "You two, go and bring a chair so that this little brother can sit comfortably!"

"Hey!" Two people agreed and trotted back to move chairs.

"Brother, I didn't know the importance of the plague prevention and control method before, so I neglected you guys. Here, I will apologize first."

The prestigious man had a long body and bowed with great respect.

When the onlookers saw it, they also saluted, saying that they had been wrong before and were willing to apologize.

The member of the "publicity team" was secretly happy, but on the surface he was busy returning the favor.

"Oh, everyone, there is no need to be polite. It is our task to preach the methods of preventing and controlling the plague. It should be done. It should be done."

Soon the chair was brought and he sat down comfortably.

"Brother, let's start now..."

"Ahem!" A member of the "Propaganda Team" deliberately coughed twice and touched his throat, "Oh, I have been preaching about plague prevention and control methods almost every moment these past two days, and my voice has become hoarse..."

"Come on, go make a cup of tea and moisten my throat!"

...Waiting until the tea is finished.

Amidst the compliments, the members of the "publicity team" began to answer everyone's questions one by one.

At the entrance of the City God's Temple, Zhu Xiuyuan and Doctor Zhang quietly watched this scene and smiled at each other.

On the street in front of the temple, behind the earthen stove for boiling medicine, the two elders Liu and Guan of the Beggar Clan also watched this scene quietly and nodded to each other.

This scene was staged in many places throughout Jiangzhou City.

The "Propaganda Team" preached again, but at this time, the mentality of listening to the lecture was different, and they were all engrossed.

This matter involves the head on the neck, so one has to be careful.

Since then, the method of preventing and controlling plague has been thoroughly rooted in the hearts of the people.

...In the blink of an eye, the time came to afternoon.

The hundreds of people who went out of the city to pick medicinal herbs came back, and they lived up to expectations and brought back a large number of much-needed medicinal herbs.

Zhu Xiuyuan stayed in the City God's Temple for most of the day. He saw Doctor Zhang constantly testing medicine and observing the patient's reaction after drinking the medicine... After repeated attempts many times, there was not much progress.

Zhu Xiuyuan expected that it would be impossible to find a cure for the plague today, so he left the City God's Temple and came to the Yamen.

In the yamen, my father-in-law is still busy.

He looked even more haggard than in the morning.

Zhu Xiuyuan was afraid that something would happen to Dong Cheng's body due to fatigue and that he would fail Dong Shuyu's instructions to him, so he advised Dong Cheng to take a rest.

As a result, Dong Cheng looked outside the signing room, and shook his head anxiously waiting for the Cao Shenjun and others who were waiting to see him.

No time!
Zhu Xiuyuan could only sigh.

I silently hoped in my heart that Dong Cheng would not suffer from fatigue.

In the evening, the number of people newly infected with the plague during the day was counted.

More than 3 people have been added!
There were fewer new people than last night.

The number of new people last night reached [-] or [-].

"The methods to prevent and control the plague are initially effective, and the number of infected people has dropped a lot!" someone praised.

"It's not enough. Counting the victims, there are tens of thousands of people in the city. So far, the number of people infected with the plague has reached more than 10, accounting for almost half!" Zhu Xiuyuan was very calm.

"We need to continue our efforts to reduce the number of new infections every day as much as possible to buy enough time for Dr. Zhang!"

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at everyone present, and then said: "Doctor Zhang once said that the spread of this plague can only be reduced as much as possible, and it is impossible to completely isolate it unless we evacuate Jiangzhou City!"

"As long as Doctor Zhang cannot find a cure for the plague, the infection will continue. Even if the number of people infected every day decreases, one day, all of us will be infected by the plague!"

Zhu Xiuyuan said loudly.

"My virtuous son-in-law is right!"

Dong Cheng nodded, "The people we sent to surrounding counties and counties to inquire about information came back. Alas, more than 100 people were sent out, but only more than 20 came back in the end..."

Dong Cheng sighed, cheered up, and continued: "According to what they said, the situation in the surrounding counties and counties is worrying, far worse than ours in Jiangzhou. We have told them the methods of plague prevention and control one by one, and they can finally To what extent they can achieve it, they can only rely on themselves!”

"At the same time, the water level of the Yangtze River is still high, the water on the river is turbulent, and it is still unnavigable. And the surrounding states and counties are also experiencing a plague that is far more terrifying than our Jiangzhou... We have nowhere to retreat!"

Everyone sitting there was silent.

Yes, although the spread of the plague has been slowly controlled, the infection will continue until Doctor Zhang finds a cure for the plague.

What's even worse is that they can't escape and can only be trapped here...

It is foreseeable that this is a protracted battle!

Everyone was silent for a long time, and Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly thought of a question: "My father-in-law, and all of you, the filth, corpses, etc. in the city have almost been cleared away."

"But the water source in the city is connected to the moat outside the city. I just went to see it today. There are still many corpses of prisoners in the moat, and they are all stinking."

"We need to clean it up quickly. Not only the moat, but also the area within ten miles outside the city must be kept clean! Only in this way can the number of infected people be effectively reduced!"

"I wish Join the Army what he said is reasonable..."

"But cleaning up a ten-mile radius outside the city is too exaggerated?"
