Chapter 340 Chapter 340: Chaos in the Northwest (3)
In the blink of an eye, Shen Tang has made a decision.
Her first reaction was to turn around and tell Xu Jie.
"Wen Zhu will stay in Fugu for a few more days."
Xu Jie stood up and was about to get up, and said angrily: "What does Mr. Shen mean by this? Let's not say whether this is an epidemic. , even if it is, does Mr. Shen believe that we brought the disease from Shangnan?"
He actually wanted to detain him.
Shen Tang asked back: "If it is really an epidemic, are Wenzhu prepared to run around with the disease and spread poison everywhere?"
The young man who looks almost like an adult has a firm gaze. , the tone is unquestionable and tough that cannot be refuted.
"Xu Wenzhu! If it is really an epidemic, even if we die, you and I will die in Fugu City!" After the words fell, without waiting for Xu Jie's mood and reaction at this time, Shen Tang comforted Lin Feng with a gentle voice, "Order Virtue, don’t panic! Move those people to the vacant room in the prison first.”
She also summoned several blue birds with sleek feathers.
They fluttered their wings toward the sky vigorously.
"Pass the order to close the city!"
Shen Tang was not sure if it was an epidemic that was raging in Shangnan Village, but he wanted to find an excuse first - such as catching the absconding villain - —It’s okay to close the city for a while. If it turns out later that she was the one making a fuss, she can quickly expose the matter.
Common people may not even notice such a detail.
On their way to Chu Yao and others after receiving the message from Blue Bird, Shen Tang waited for news outside the small courtyard where several people were staying.
Not long after, two doctors, one old and one young, came out.
Shen Tang stepped forward and asked: "Doctor Dong, how is the situation?"
Yu Zi and others vomited blood and fell to the ground, so Lin Feng sent someone to invite them over. Both of them are doctors practicing medicine outside. They are not only master and apprentice, but also grandfather and grandson. They make a living by treating common people's headaches and fevers.
Especially the old one among them, when he was young, he worked as an apprentice to the retired imperial doctor of the Medical Department. He served him respectfully for several years regardless of whether it was cold or hot. Only then did he impress the old imperial doctor and learn his true teachings. After that, he traveled to various places to practice medicine. Over the years, I have developed good skills.
It’s just that he was born into a poor family and had no status or family background that he could use, and the people who came to see him for medical treatment were poor and often couldn’t even afford a few dollars for medical treatment. The old man sympathized with the common people and would often waive their medical fees, and occasionally even pay for some medicine.
Life was miserable.
At the turn of winter and spring, many people fell ill, and Shen Tang discovered that there was not even a decent medical center in such a large city of Fugu. The common people were either forced to survive or treated with home remedies.
She slapped her head and thought it would not work, so she asked someone to look for it.
When some famous doctors heard that it was a poor place like Heyin Fugu, they refused to move here and open a medical clinic. Even if Shen Tang promised to build a medical clinic for free and give him a courtyard, he would not agree. . When Gu Chi was worried about the doctors at the medical clinic, he brought back these two grandsons from a business trip and said that they were picked up while drinking tea on the roadside. At that time, the old man was diagnosing the pulse of an old beggar woman.
Gu Chi took a look at him.
I sent them an offer from Fugu City on the spot.
Dr. Dong did not refuse as hard as other doctors. He dealt with poor people the most. In the past few months, he often heard from them how Heyin County Governor Shen Jun loved his people like his own son. Since Shen Jun came over, He Yin has completely changed.
Only then did he realize why he had always received consultation fees for his recent medical visits, and even less medication...
The co-authorship was all due to Mr. Shen.
When he heard that Gu Chi was a subordinate of Shen Tang’s county government, Dr. Dong agreed without much hesitation. The next day, he was respectfully taken to Fugu in a carriage. The old beggar My mother-in-law was also brought back and found a job as a sweeper in the hospital.
The governor of the county, Shen Jun, received him in person.
When has Dr. Dong ever seen such a battle?
He was not a medical doctor, so this battle really made him feel at a loss and flattered.
But Shen Tang also had a purpose for doing this.
Dr. Dong and his grandson opened a medical clinic in Fugu City. Their main task was to treat the common people who came to visit them.
When you see a common person, you can receive a subsidy from the municipal government. If you visit a doctor, you can also get an additional "travel expense", which is equivalent to the municipal government paying the consultation fee and house call fee for the common people.
People still have to pay for the medicine themselves.
Shen Tang also captured a group of children for Dr. Dong.
These are apprentices.
Chu Yao was opposed by several people.
They knew that Shen Tang was annoyed that there were too few doctors in Fugu City and he couldn't find two even if he begged his grandfather and grandma, so he decided to train them himself. Not to mention how much time and energy it takes to train doctors, it is a big problem for Dr. Dong alone.
Dr. Dong was an apprentice when he was young. He treated the old imperial doctor respectfully as his own father. He worked hard for many years before people let him go. He learned his true skills bit by bit, and he wanted to pass this skill on to himself. grandson.
To put it bluntly, this is already a family heirloom.
Who is willing to give everything to someone who is not a blood relative or is better than a blood relative? Teaching your skills to a group of strange apprentices for nothing? A master should keep a hand when leading his apprentices.
Dr. Dong was not willing at first.
Shen Tang said nothing, and Xingye came to persuade him.
At that time, Dr. Dong used the dim and smelly oil lamp to see the pair of eyes that were brighter than the oil lamp, and was moved by the young man's sincerity. He sympathized with the sufferings of the people, and what Lord Shen did was also to benefit more people.
A small love, a big love.
How can he be selfish with his old bones?
Shen Tang is not a stingy boss who likes to take advantage. He not only used ideological attacks to occupy the moral high ground, but also used the offensive of "playing into his own favour", such as giving Dr. Dong a few volumes of medical books.
Shen Tang doesn't have this thing, but others do.
The top literati are mobile hard drives!
When Qishan and Kang were busy, they both flipped through the remaining volumes of "Nongsang Ji Yao" in their spare time. The former could silently read three volumes, while the latter filled in another volume with his backhand. Chu Yao was even able to memorize five volumes of "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People", which only has 92 chapters in ten volumes! If these literary scholars picked them up and shook them, they could always produce a few volumes of medical books that impressed Dr. Dong.
Doctor Dong is in front: "I have met Mr. Shen."
The grandson and apprentice behind him followed suit and saluted.
Shen Tang said: "No courtesy."
Dr. Dong asked: "Shen Jun, can you take a step to speak?"
Shen Tang's heart sank slightly: "Of course I can."< br>
Dr. Dong did not tell Yu Zi and others about their illnesses, but asked her if she knew about the epidemic that had occurred in Heyin.
"I know."
This incident happened two years before Shen Tang took office, and she was deeply impressed - when dealing with the Zhang family's problem in Heyin before, the Zhang family head's brother sent his servants to deceive the suffering people, and lied He claimed that he had a good medicine to cure the disease, but he still lacked a cure. He needed the cooperation of the sons and daughters of the common people. By using this method, he killed more than 20 innocent children and escaped alive, causing public resentment.
“The two epidemics came from the same source?”
The wrinkles and ravines on Dr. Dong’s face are getting deeper and deeper.
He said heavily: "Yes, the symptoms are almost exactly the same."
"Almost consistent?"
"That means there are still some inconsistencies?"
Dr. Dong: "It is more sinister than before."
Shen Tang: " ..."
In short, is it the PLUS version of the last epidemic?
"How did you cure it last time? Are there any medical records left?"
Dr. Dong shook his head and told a shocking truth: "No one was cured, and no one who was infected survived. Because the county government issued a Seven out of ten doctors who came here with documents died..."
The two villages where the epidemic broke out were cordoned off by people sent by the county government, and only healthy people could make it out alive.
Dr. Dong did not participate in that recruitment.
The specific situation was also told by the surviving doctors.
He was sure that this epidemic was related to the previous one. Perhaps the disease had been dormant for two or three years and had come back again, becoming more dangerous and rapid. As the county governor, Shen Tang must make up his mind as soon as possible and consider the common people of the city.
Shen Tang took a deep breath.
She said: "I know."
Let people investigate the targets that Yu Zi and others have come into contact with, and divide and isolate Fugu City into several unrelated ones Regions, each region is not allowed to move around at will. The intersections were guarded by soldiers with weapons. Those who were already sick were placed in a treatment center, and those who had been exposed were placed in another observation area. The rest continued to live as usual to prevent contact with new refugees.
The four gates of Fugu.
Close both lanes.
One is used for people's daily work in and out, and the other is used to transfer people who have shown signs of the epidemic into the epidemic area.
Although the current medical technology is not very developed, the hard-working and intelligent people have gradually developed a set of epidemic prevention experiences, such as burning grass to expel insect pathogens, fumigating mugwort, washing hands, and even knowing how to treat patients after discovering an epidemic. Place them in a centralized place, separate them from healthy people, deploy manpower in areas where the epidemic occurs, and isolate the sick people from running around...
Doctors will save them if they can.
Cannot be saved——
That can only close the infected areas and wait for the lesions to kill all the hosts.
Dr. Dong has been in contact with patients and knows that as a doctor, he cannot leave here. He has no trouble in his heart. However, seeing that Shen Tang has no intention of leaving, he is about to step into the house where the patient is housed and stop him. : "Shen Jun should not stay here."
Shen Tang's attitude was firm: "I As the governor of Heyin County, if you don't stay in the government office to take charge of the overall situation, where should you stay? After all, the literary scholar still has the literary spirit to protect the body. If the epidemic is so dangerous that even I can be defeated, I can't leave!"
“Yes…”
“Let me go in and have a look!”
Before he even entered the house, he stopped.
She turned around and told Lin Feng who was following behind her: "Lingde, go to the warehouse and count how much kudzu there is, and bring them all out! Then send a message to Mr. Yang at the department store. The kudzu there is also Bring it out...if it's not enough, go to the people's homes to collect it!"
Germa is a common fabric used by the people to make clothes.
If the family is a little richer, or the female family member is good at craftsmanship, Gema can also get a few horses together.
"Why does Mr. Lang need so much kudzu?"
Shen Tang: "Used to make masks."
Who knows how this epidemic spreads.
Put on the mask first.
“Mask?”
Lin Feng didn’t know what it was.
But according to the literal meaning, it is probably similar to a veil? It's just a veil covering the face, but this thing is used to cover the mouth?
Shen Tang said: "Isn't there something in the Book of Rites - cover your mouth, for fear that the breath will touch others? The purpose of a mask is to isolate and filter the breath between people, otherwise the turbid breath exhaled by the patient will be eliminated by the disease. If people inhale it, even those who are not sick will be infected."
Dr. Dong's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "I accidentally got a broken scroll many years ago. It is recorded by the sages - the sick people feel the malaise of the heaven and the earth, which varies depending on the year, the thickness in the corners, and the ups and downs in the four seasons! When this energy comes, no matter old or young, strong or weak, those who touch it will become sick, and the evil will come from it! Enter through the mouth and nose! It is indeed possible for Shen Jun to use a mask to block the odor!"
