Chapter 61 Epidemic Prevention
  Wei Yuming's eyes lit up, "Brother Shen, please sit down and speak slowly."

Shen Zhuoyun glanced at Wei Yuming and said, "It's not that I want to come, but my daughter asked me to bring her here. Next, she will explain to you the precautions."

Wei Yuming slapped his forehead fiercely, and then he remembered that his daughter had cured Shen Zhuoyun's malaria not long ago. It was said that the little girl had a master as her teacher, and even Dr. Li praised her medical skills.

Wei Yuming was not a stickler for rules. When he heard that Shen Jia was able to help him get through this difficult time, he immediately stood up, clasped his fists and saluted Shen Jia, saying, "Thank you, Miss Shen."

Shen Jia turned sideways and said, "It is the bounden duty of a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded, and we should not be treated as a courtesy by Uncle Weber."

Shen Jia glanced around and saw that the people present did not look down upon her because she was a woman or a child. She felt a little satisfied and then slowly said: "When a natural disaster occurs, if water pollution, feces, garbage, and... If the carcasses of rotting livestock are not properly treated, mosquitoes will breed and intestinal infectious diseases such as dysentery, diarrhea, and even cholera will occur.

Dysentery usually occurs in children aged two to seven years old and manifests as high fever, irritability, convulsions, and convulsions. Diarrhea generally manifests as increased bowel movements, stomach pain, vomiting, inability to eat, and fever.

If the affected people are immersed in floods for a long time, coupled with the warm and humid climate and mosquito infestation, they are prone to skin itching, rashes, blisters, ulcers, etc.

After the flood, rats and some animals will also bring some communicable diseases, such as fever, rash, abdominal pain and diarrhea, liver pain, headache, fatigue..."

Wei Yuming listened very carefully. Seeing Shen Jia stop, he asked anxiously: "So, how can we prevent it?"

The master and the county magistrate also looked at Shen Jia eagerly. They felt that although the little girl was young, what she said was very reasonable.

Shen Jia smiled faintly and said: "First, at the entrance, pay attention to drinking water hygiene and food hygiene. Do not drink raw water, and the food must be cooked thoroughly. Do not eat food that has spoiled or been soaked in floods. Do not eat food that has died of illness or drowning. of livestock and aquatic products, and bury drowned livestock when encountering them; the second is to prevent excrement from contaminating water sources and the environment..."

Wei Yuming thought that when people saw big fat pigs or chickens floating in the water, they would take them back and cook them to eat. Not many people could bear to let the food flow away right in front of them. Thinking of this, Wei Yuming suddenly felt bad. .

"Master, you and the county magistrate immediately write down what Miss Shen said on paper. Write a few more sheets. After writing, give it to the government officials and ask them to go to every village to publicize it."

"Yes, my lord."

"Miss Shen, do you have any other good suggestions?" Wei Yu asked with a smile on his face.

According to their past disaster relief methods, they gave the victims who had their homes destroyed a little soup and water every day. Once an epidemic occurred, they would ask some more reputable doctors to find a way to treat them and report them to the next higher level, and then the next higher level would ask the doctors to send them. People came down to treat and report to the court, waiting for the court to send people to provide disaster relief.

There are only a few public officials and yamen in a county, and there really isn't much they can do.

"I suggest you find a special place to treat injured or sick victims. Also, organize villagers to dig out the collapsed roads. Be ready to receive some victims whose houses and food have been washed away by floods at any time."

Wei Yuming pondered for a long time and said: "It's easy to find a place to take care of the victims. It's not difficult to arrange for villagers to dig out the collapsed road. The difficulty lies in the victims whose food and houses were washed away by the flood. We only have to open warehouses to provide relief." . There is not much food in the county government granary, so I can barely survive for a while by drinking some gruel every day."

Shen Jia thought about the favor she still owed to Wei Yuming. The last time she bought two villages and a shop, she only spent 10,000 taels of silver. If the minimum was no less than 15,000 taels in normal times, she still gave him so much rice for free. she. She must return the favor to him no matter what.

"First free up the place for treating the victims, and summon a few doctors to focus on treating the victims. I estimate that many injured people have rushed to the county seat now. Let me think about the other things." The master and the county magistrate acted quickly. After a while, I wrote more than a dozen notices.

Wei Yuming asked the government officials to post a notice on the notice board outside the county government office, and sent eight other government officials to beat gongs and go to each village to inform the villagers about epidemic prevention.

As soon as the county government's announcement was posted, the county town was in an uproar. At first, some people were suspicious, and some scorned it. When they saw the symptoms described later, they all expressed disdain, but in their hearts they thought that for the sake of their own lives, they should not touch it until they starve to death. Those things as well.

Wei Yuming placed the place where the victims were treated at Landlord Qian's dental shop. Generally, people who opened dental shops had government backing. However, Landlord Qian fell and there was no one to take over the dental shop for the time being. This saved Wei Yuming a lot of time.

Seeing that Wei Yuming had made arrangements, Shen Jia told him that if he needed anything, he should come to Beili Village to find her. She would come tomorrow. Then he left the county government office with Shen Zhuoyun and Shen Hao.

Nanhai Naval Base.

Xiao Yichen looked at the message he received in his hand with a heavy gaze, and his long fingers tapped the table intentionally or unintentionally, making a regular 'tapping' sound.

After a long time, he said: "Xiao Ping, I want to go to these disaster-stricken places immediately. You hurry up and prepare."

When Xiao Ping heard this, he knelt down with a bang and said in panic: "I beg your Highness to take back your life! Don't go to the disaster area. As the saying goes, there will be a big epidemic after a big disaster. What if there really is a big epidemic? In order to For the sake of His Highness’s health, please think twice!”

Xiao Yicheng glanced at Xiao Ping with slightly squinted eyes, and said: "This palace is here to experience, not to enjoy blessings. Don't say more, get it done immediately!"

Xiao Ping knew that Xiao Yichen's temperament would never change once he made a decision, so he stopped trying to persuade him. He asked, "I'll inform Imperial Physician Qin and ask him to go with me."

"Ah."

Doctor Qin heard that Xiao Yichen was going to the disaster area and hurriedly came carrying the medicine box.

After hearing the news, the Nanhai Navy Staff General came over and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it. This person was the emperor's favorite. He had a little guess about why he secretly came to the South China Sea to train in the navy, and finally sent twenty guards to follow Xiao Yichen to protect him. Coupled with the guards on Xiao Yichen's face, more than thirty people left the naval base on horseback.

Doctor Qin was too old to ride a horse, so he followed him in a carriage. Taking a carriage was much slower, so Xiao Yichen sent two guards to escort him.

"Your Highness, where should we go first?" Xiao Ping asked.

"Yixian." Xiao Yichen said.

Yixian County had just had a new county magistrate, and he wanted to go there first to see how the new magistrate responded to the disaster.

'Driving' a group of people quickly headed to Yixian.
