The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 221 Epidemic (Part [-])
"Block the news, don't let the people know whether it's the epidemic or not, otherwise it will cause panic." Su Tang began to think hard about countermeasures.

In this era of backward medical skills, if it is really an epidemic, it will be over. There is no equipment to develop a vaccine, and the only thing to do is to wait until all the infected people die and the epidemic disappears by itself.

Historically, due to epidemics, more than half of the entire country's population died and the country was wiped out.

Su Tang calmed himself down, it might not be a seasonal epidemic, maybe it was just catching a cold, it is normal for so many victims to have hundreds of them catching a cold.

"I want to go and see for myself!" Su Tang thought about it, but still felt that it would be safer to go and have a look.

Based on the symptoms of the people, she can search the system to see if there are similar cases. If she can know what disease they have, she can prescribe the right medicine early.

It's faster than waiting for the doctors to slowly observe and confirm. Maybe after the doctors know the characteristics of the disease, the virus has already begun to spread in a large area, and by then it will be too late.

"Your Highness, you can't go, you are a man of gold, what should you do if something happens!" Wang Dong immediately stopped Su Tang when he heard Su Tang's words.

Su Tang is the soul of Yan Yang City, without Su Tang, Yan Yang City would not be what it is today, plus Su Tang's status as the regent princess, it is said that the most important thing Wang Dong should do at this time is to send Su Tang out of Yan Yang City, let her Stay away to keep her safe.

But Wang Dong knew that Su Tang would not leave at this time.

Su Tang couldn't care less now, and walked directly to the direction of the carriage, without even shouting to Jingtuan. After Jingtuan finished harming the shopkeeper's barbecue restaurant, he would naturally go to her.

Wang Dong followed Su Tang, blocking him or not, sweating in anxiety, if His Highness got sick in that kind of place, there would be some good or bad, his life would not be enough to pay for it.

But what Su Tang thinks now is very simple. If it is really the epidemic, how many people will die after it spreads. Yanyang City bears the brunt, and it is impossible to say that it will become an empty city. If it spreads further, the entire Leng'an country will be in danger. situation.

At that time, there will be no one left, what kind of city will be built, and she will not be able to survive if she cannot complete the systematic task of building a city. Why not go and have a look now, give it a try, prevent and control it early, maybe you can cure the signs of these diseases snuff out.

Su Tang sat in the carriage all the way, and had already prepared for the worst. If these viruses really spread fast and had a high fatality rate, she would drive all the victims into the mountains and isolate them. Whether they live or die depends on fate. .

Although it sounds cruel, but for the sake of Leng Anguo and more people, she has to do this. The only way to kill the source and prevent it from spreading is the safest way.

When her carriage slowly drove towards the southern border of Yanyang County, she could see a long row of fences, and there were many people guarding nearby to keep the victims out of the fences.

In order to protect the safety of the people in Yanyang City, we have stopped bringing these disaster victims into the territory.

There were too many victims of the disaster, crowded and sitting on the ground in a large black area, their bodies were dirty and black, because there were imperial courts along the way, and rich merchants from various cities donated porridge and food, although they looked a bit desolate Embarrassed, but not very tragic.

It's just that they sat on the ground with their heads bowed, their faces covered with cloth scarves, and they looked lifeless.

Among the crowd, several large vats filled with decoctions were placed not far away, some were for drinking, and some were for them to use the decoctions to soak cloth towels and cover their mouths and noses to prevent the spread of diseases.

There is still a meandering crowd coming here from behind, more and more people gather here, more and more chaotic, the guards are shouting at the throat, comforting them, and guiding them to queue up for the pulse .

Not far away, there is a place where dry food and water are distributed. Many people are queuing up to get food. Hundreds of doctors beside them pack themselves tightly and sit under the shed to take turns to see them. If they encounter cough and fever, will be taken away directly.

Every time a person is taken away, it will arouse the exclamation and fear of the victims. In their view, if they are taken away, they are almost waiting to die. Can they live if they are infected with the disease?
Su Tang heard that before she came, these victims were afraid of the contagion of the epidemic and wanted to flee in all directions. They had already launched several riots, but they were suppressed by Lin Qing and many troublemakers were killed for this. People, this is what makes them sit honestly and wait for arrangements.

"Your Highness, why are you here? Get out of here!" Lin Qing, who was already in a state of distress, was even more anxious when he saw Su Tang approaching.

"Speaking of business, what's the situation now?" Su Tang asked directly, too lazy to talk nonsense with them.

Seeing Su Tang's resolute attitude, Lin Qing swallowed back the words to persuade her to leave, and said, "The doctor said that their symptoms are fever, cough and headache, and they are contagious. So far, nearly 3000 people have been sent to the hospital. Isolation at the foot of the mountain, as the victims of the disaster slowly arrived, there are still many people who will receive medical treatment in the future."

"It's definitely an epidemic!" Su Tang's heart sank completely.

"It is confirmed that it can be contagious, and the speed of contagion is quite fast. The doctors are preparing various prescriptions and starting to test the medicine. It is not yet known whether there is a possibility of cure!" Lin Qing replied truthfully.

"Is there any possibility of death?" Su Tang asked again.

"Yes, there have been dozens of deaths, mostly children and old people!" Lin Qing's voice began to tremble at this point.

The epidemic is like a scourge to everyone. After being infected, there is no doubt that death will spread. People's fear of death will spread, making them fearful all the time.

"Wang Dong, you go to Dongping County to borrow troops now, and then strictly monitor these victims. Make sure that no one of the victims escapes, and control their speech. They are not allowed to talk nonsense, causing greater panic, and at the same time the epidemic Try not to spread the news to the rear, so that those victims who are still on the way will not escape when they hear the news." Su Tang quickly made a series of countermeasures.

In fact, the best way is to disperse the resettlement, so as not to spread the infection to the same litter, but these victims will not be too cooperative, and if they do that, more manpower will be needed to take care of them, which will increase the chance of transmission.

"Yes!" Wang Dong took the order.

"Before you leave, take a bath with soup and medicine, change into clean clothes, so as not to take the virus out, and, in the future, anyone who comes to this area, whether it is passing by or for other reasons, is not allowed to leave until the epidemic is resolved .” Su Tang added.

Su Tang suddenly thought that these victims came all the way and passed by many cities. If they had already infected other cities by the time of the onset, it would be really difficult.

"When was the illness discovered?" Su Tang asked Lin Qing who was on the side.
