In the blink of an eye, Shen Tang 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 asked angrily: "What does Mr. Shen mean by this? Not to mention whether it is an epidemic or not, even if it is, does Mr. Shen think that we brought the disease and military energy from the upper south?"
He actually wanted to detain him.
Shen Tang asked back: "If it is really an epidemic, is 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 and a tough tone that cannot be questioned or 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, "Lingde, don't panic ! First transfer those people to the vacant rooms in the prison."
She summoned several more bluebirds with sleek feathers.
They fluttered their wings toward the sky vigorously.
"Pass my order to seal the city!"
Shen Tang was not sure if it was an epidemic that was raging in Shangnan Village, but it would be okay to find an excuse first - such as catching the absconding gangsters - to close the city for a while. . If it turned out later that she was making a fuss out of a molehill, she could quickly expose the matter.
Ordinary people may not even notice such details.
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, and then he impressed the old imperial doctor and learned his true teachings. After that, he traveled around and practiced medicine for many years, and became a good doctor. ability.
However, he was born in a poor family and did not have a reliable status and family background. The common people who came to see him for medical treatment were also poor and often could not 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 give them a few pills.
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 big city like Fugu. The common people were either forced to survive or treated with home remedies. As soon as she thought it was not possible, 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. When Gu Chi was worried about the doctor at the medical clinic, he brought back these two grandfathers and grandsons from a business trip. He said that they had picked them up while drinking tea on the roadside. At that time, the old man was diagnosing the pulse of an old beggar woman.
Gu Chi caught his eye.
I sent them an offer from Fugu City on the spot.
Dr. Dong didn't refuse like 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 been completely transformed.
Only then did he realize why he was always receiving consultation fees for his recent medical visits, and even had less reimbursed medicine...
The co-authorship is all due to Shen Jun.
Upon hearing 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, and the old beggar was also brought back conveniently. I got a job as a sweeper at a 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 in doing this.
Dr. Dong and his grandson opened a medical clinic in Fugu City, and 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 receive an additional "travel expense", which is equivalent to the municipal government paying the consultation fees and house calls for the common people. Of course, the 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 objected to this behavior.
They knew that Shen Tang felt 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 was annoyed, 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, and he treated the old imperial doctor respectfully as his own father. He worked hard for many years before he was let go, and he learned his true skills little by little. He also wanted to pass this skill on to his grandson.
To put it bluntly, this is already a family tradition.
If you are not a blood relative or a close relative by blood, who is willing to spend all your money to teach him? Teaching your skills to a group of strange apprentices for nothing? A master should have a hand in guiding 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 little 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 uses ideological attacks to occupy the moral high ground, but also uses "advantageous" offensives, 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 praying for good health, 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 one 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.
Dr. Dong was in front: "I've met Mr. Shen."
The grandson and apprentice behind him followed suit and saluted.
Shen Tang said: "No courtesy."
Dr. Dong asked: "Mr. Shen, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Shen Tang's heart sank slightly: "Of course you can."
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.
"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, the Zhang family's brother sent his servants to deceive the suffering people, lying that he had good medicine in his hands, but there was still a lack of it. Blindly using drugs, which required the cooperation of ordinary people's sons and daughters, they killed more than 20 innocent children and escaped unharmed, causing widespread resentment among the people.
"Did the two epidemics come from the same source?"
The wrinkles and furrows on Dr. Dong's face are getting deeper and deeper.
He said heavily: "Yes, the symptoms are almost exactly the same."
"Almost unanimous?"
"Does that mean there are still inconsistencies?"
Doctor Dong: "It's more dangerous than before."
Shen Tang: "..."
Simply put, is it the PLUS version of the last epidemic?
"How were you cured last time? Are there any medical records left?"
Dr. Dong shook his head and told a shocking truth: "No one has been cured, and no one who contracted the disease survived. Seven out of ten doctors who came because of the documents issued by the county died..."
The two villages where the epidemic broke out were cordoned off by the county government, and only healthy people could come 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 areas that are not connected to each other. Each area 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.
There are four gates in 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 diligent and intelligent people have gradually developed a set of epidemic prevention experiences, such as burning grass to expel insect pathogens, fumigating moxa, and washing hands. Even after the epidemic is discovered, they know how to place patients together and separate them. With healthy people, deploy manpower in the areas where the epidemic occurs to prevent the infected people from running around...
Doctors can save if they can.
Can't save——
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 placed and stops him: "Shen Jun should not Stay here."
Shen Tang's attitude was firm: "As the governor of Heyin County, if I don't stay in the government office to take charge of the overall situation, then where should I stay? After all, literary scholars still have literary spirit to protect their bodies. If the epidemic is so dangerous that even I can be killed, I will be even more Can’t leave!”
"Can……"
"I'll go in and take 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 it all out! Then send a message to Mr. Yang at the department store, and bring out the kudzu there too... If you return it, If it’s not enough, go to the people’s homes to collect it!”
Kudzu is a commonly used fabric for common people to make clothes.
If the family is a little richer, or if the female family members are good at craftsmanship, they can 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.
"Face 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 it written in the Book of Rites that you cover your mouth to prevent the breath from touching 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 inhaled by someone who is not sick. , even those who are not sick can become infected.”
Dr. Dong's eyes lit up: "I came across a fragment of a scroll many years ago. There is a sage's record on it - epidemic people feel the malaise of heaven and earth. It depends on the luck of the year, the thickness in the corner, and the rise and fall of the four seasons! This Qi When it comes, no matter old or young, strong or weak, anyone who touches it will become sick, and the evil will enter from the mouth and nose! If Shen Jun wants to use a mask to block the malaria, it is indeed feasible!"
