Chapter 189 The city is closed and strictly controlled, what Yan Ermei sees and hears

Kueibu has been accepting foreign refugees and has never stopped.

Although there are a lot fewer refugees in Chunshang, there are still some.

As a prefectural city, Ruyang has the largest number of refugees, and there are still more than 3000 people in the refugee camp.

Liu Sheng knew that plagues were common in the late Ming Dynasty, so he took many measures to deal with refugees carrying diseases. Especially after he occupied Ruyang and conditions improved, various measures became more complete.

For example, you must take a hot shower before entering the refugee camp, and all clothing must be boiled and disinfected.

Another example is the use of quicklime water for disinfection in refugee camps, having to go to the toilet to defecate, not drinking raw water, etc. These are all the most basic.

The most important thing is the isolation measures of separate camps and zones.

Refugees who have been in the camp for less than seven days and those who have been in the camp for seven days will live in separate camps. Refugees who are sick will live in separate camps. Every [-] people in the same camp will live in separate areas. They are not allowed to move around casually. Anyone who is sick will be reported as soon as possible, etc.

As for emergency epidemic prevention measures, it is rapid mandatory isolation.

Not all of the above measures were proposed by Liu Sheng, many of them were already known to many doctors and officials in the late Ming Dynasty.

The main reason why epidemics occur frequently is due to frequent natural disasters and military disasters; while the reason why epidemics are out of control is due to the incompetence or even inaction of local officials and poor epidemic prevention.

Therefore, although Liu Sheng took various preventive measures against the epidemic, he was still worried when he heard that the epidemic had appeared.

Bai Taiwei said: "The patients, their contacts, and even the refugees in the same camp have been isolated in separate camps.

I came here to tell the commander that the dozen or so refugees suffering from the disease are all from Kaifeng Prefecture, which means that a major epidemic is likely to occur in Kaifeng Prefecture.

In addition, there are disease patients among the refugees, and there are likely to be disease patients among other people coming from the north.

The entire city must be cordoned off and screened immediately according to the plague prevention and control measures prescribed by the commander-in-chief to prevent the outbreak and spread of immune diseases in the city. "

Liu Sheng nodded, "Understood, I will prepare to seal the city right away. By the way, does Miss Bai know what the epidemic is this time?"

There were many epidemic diseases in the late Ming Dynasty.

The most terrifying of these is plague, also known as plague; followed by plague, smallpox, wool plague, etc.

Liu Sheng has taught Bai Taiwei how to vaccinate against smallpox using cowpox, and it is currently being promoted.

But there are other diseases that Liu Sheng can't do anything about.

Especially the plague, it is very scary to die from morning to night.

Bai Taiwei said: "Judging from the symptoms of the dozen or so people who are currently sick, it is probably an epidemic."

Liu Sheng didn't understand and asked, "What is epidemic?"

"Epidemics that occur due to seasonal and climate changes are called seasonal epidemics. They generally occur in spring and autumn, and are mostly warm epidemics and less cold epidemics."

Liu Sheng was stunned after hearing this and thought, isn't this just the flu?
He was relieved at first, but then he thought that influenza can kill people these days.

In addition, influenza is transmitted through saliva, that is, it spreads through the air at close range. It is a relatively easy-to-spread disease and must not be ignored.

So Liu Sheng immediately asked his guards to summon Li Changwen and other major Ruyang officials for a meeting.

As a force that has been rising for less than a year, the Kuaibu department has staff in all departments who are very capable and administratively efficient.

In addition, Liu Sheng had already had relevant regulations in this regard, and Bai Taiwei also had a lot of experience in dealing with the epidemic, so the meeting quickly passed a number of decrees on epidemic prevention.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon that day, the standing army, garrison army, civilian soldiers, and patrol police stationed in Ruyang were mobilized and began to implement city closures and epidemic prevention measures...

The spring breeze and sunshine are warm in the afternoon of late March, making it a good time to visit.

After Yan Ermei took a nap in the inn, she went out to the streets.

After entering the city yesterday, he had already visited some areas in the city and found many decrees and measures that interested him.

Most of them were policies that previous dynasties had when governing local areas, but some of them became a piece of paper as local officials corrupted their governance.

However, there are also some decrees and regulations that are original to this department and are worth pondering.

For example, most streets and alleys in Ruyang City are very clean.

The Kueibu government arranged for dedicated personnel to clean and remove garbage every day.

In the Ming Dynasty, this person was a local handyman, and the local government at most subsidized some money from selling, and sometimes even let criminals do it.

But in the Ministry of Education, this kind of special person is a hired official - his monthly salary is one tael of silver!

However, the Ministry also has high requirements for this kind of people: they must ensure that the neighborhood they are responsible for is clean and tidy, and they must also be responsible for punishing those who litter.

Generally, the penalty is a copper coin ranging from one to a hundred coins. If the circumstances are particularly egregious, the fine will be more.However, the fines were not collected by the hired officials responsible for cleaning Dajie, but were paid at nearby street offices.

This involves the Ministry of Education's reform of urban administrative units.

The urban and rural areas of the Ming Dynasty initially used the lijia system. Generally, ten households were divided into one jia, and hundreds of households were divided into one li.

It was a bit rigid when it was established in the early Ming Dynasty. After Hongzhi, many reforms were carried out, and the Lijia system became more lively.Up to now, many places have directly changed their names to the Baojia system, and the original Lijia system exists in name only.

In this city, Weibu divided its administrative units based on regions.

They are district, community, street and lane.

Ruyang City, for example, is currently divided into two major districts: east and west. Each district has several communities, each community has jurisdiction over several streets, and each street has jurisdiction over several lanes.

They are all divided by region, and there are no strict requirements on numbers.

In addition, there are obviously more public toilets in Ruyang City than in other cities, and there are obvious road signs, and urinating on the roadside is strictly prohibited.

If animals defecate on the city streets, they can only accept punishment.However, there are special livestock markets and horse streets in the city.Animals will not be fined if they defecate in the livestock market.If you go to Maxing Street, the fine will be much cheaper and quite humane.

In addition, when checking in at an inn, you must use a road sign and waist badge to register. Patrol police will come to check from time to time. Once an unregistered person is found checking in, both the owner and the guest will be punished.

This rule also existed in the Ming Dynasty, but it is no longer enforced in many places. In Ruyang City, you must register before you can check into an inn.

There are many things like this. Walking in Ruyang City, Yan Ermei felt as if she was living in a certain city in the New Ming Dynasty where the government was extremely clear and clear. She felt quite at ease.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The sound of the gong instantly brought Yan Ermei back to her senses. Following the sound, she saw a group of policemen patrolling the streets.

This patrol officer is obviously similar to the street patrol officers of the Ming Dynasty, but since entering the city yesterday, Yan Ermei has not seen a patrol policeman oppressing street vendors or asking for food and drinks in shops.

On the contrary, I have seen thieves caught and disputes resolved several times.

"Attention merchants, residents, and tourists, our army has important military operations and the city will be closed immediately!"

"Businesses and residents in the city will return home immediately and close their doors. Outsiders are not allowed to move in. If any relatives or friends have moved in in the past seven days, they must report to the street office!"

"If you are a pedestrian in the city who has stayed at an inn, please return to the inn immediately. If you are entering the city today and have not stayed at an inn, please stay where you are and wait for arrangements by our Yibu rebels!"

"Since our team has been in charge of Ruyang, we have never disturbed the people. We have a reputation for this, so people don't need to panic. Just listen to the instructions of the patrol officers and me!"

"If anyone takes the opportunity to spread rumors to cause panic or cause riots, they will be severely punished! If the circumstances are serious, our rebel army will kill them on the street!"

These words were clearly organized, starting with the lighter words and then the heavier ones, making everyone around them understand immediately.

Many people looked panicked, but seeing groups of patrol policemen and groups of rebel soldiers appearing on the streets, there was no chaos after all.

Small confusions cannot be avoided and are quickly sorted out and resolved.

Yan Ermei didn't panic. While returning to the inn, she observed the groups of rebel soldiers doing their work, but she started to guess in her heart.

'What on earth happened that caused the Yibu to immediately blockade the whole city? '

'Could it be that Liu Sheng was assassinated? '

Yan Ermei was a little worried when she thought of this possibility.

He had to admit that seeing Wei Bu managing Ruyang City so well, he had some expectations for Wei Bu in his heart.

'I hope Liu Sheng is not in danger of his life. '

Back at the inn, Yan Ermei found many other guests gathered in the hall on the first floor to discuss.

"Why do you think the rebels closed the city? Could it be that the government troops are coming?"

"Who knows, maybe some treasures from Prince Chong's Mansion were stolen."

"Are you kidding me? Prince Chong's Mansion is so heavily guarded now. How can a thief get in?"

"I hope it won't be an army siege - if the siege turns into a siege, I don't know how many people in the city will starve to death in the end. I heard that Kaifeng was only besieged by King Li Chuang for half a month, and it was so hungry Thousands of people died.”

"···"

Yan Ermei also listened to the discussion on the first floor for a while.

About a quarter of an hour later, someone knocked on the door.

"The patrol is on duty and the store is open!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly opened the store door and asked with a smile: "What do you police officers want?"

The leading patrol officer frowned when he saw the crowd gathering in the hall. After looking at it for a few times, he asked, "Is anyone in your inn sick?"

The shopkeeper asked: "How do I know this?"

The patrol officer said: "Sometimes the epidemic is introduced into Ruyang from Kaifeng Prefecture. If anyone in your store gets sick, he must report it immediately. If there is any concealment, he will be severely punished!

In addition, you guys should not gather together. Go to your own room and have less contact with others to avoid spreading the epidemic! "

After hearing this, many guests suddenly panicked.

Some people just want to break out.

But he was stopped by several patrolmen with their knives drawn out.

"Didn't you hear the previous preaching? There are only a dozen people diagnosed with the epidemic now, and they are all in refugee camps. The situation in the city is not yet known.

If you stay in the hotel room honestly, there is not much chance of you getting sick; if you forcefully go out on the street, even if you don't get sick, you will be arrested by our troops! "

Hearing this, the few people who wanted to break out could only retreat angrily.

When Yan Ermei saw several patrol officers about to leave, she couldn't help but ask: "How are you going to deal with the epidemic?"

"This is none of your business, just stay in the inn!"

After the patrolman left, Yan Ermei also returned to the room and said with an ugly face, "I didn't expect that an epidemic would break out."

He has seen how terrible the plague is.

Although the current epidemic is not necessarily fatal, if prevention and control are not effective, it is possible that [-]% or [-]% of the people in a city will die.

No matter how pretentious he is, he may still die if he catches the disease.

About half an hour after the patrolman left, someone knocked on the door again.

　First more.
