Zhao Shan heard Cao Yuzhen's words, looked at Cao Yuzhen's pure and clear eyes, and understood that Cao Yuzhen wanted to help the people.
Epidemics were extremely terrifying in ancient times.
In later generations, there will be countless advanced medical instruments and antibiotics, making it easier to save people. However, the medical skills of this era were insufficient. Once an epidemic broke out, the casualties among the people would be very large, and the scope would easily expand.
This is very dangerous.
While Zhao Shan was thinking, Cao Mengchan was worried that Zhao Shan thought Cao Yu was being alarmist, so she explained: "Your Majesty, my aunt is a genius from Yaowang Valley. She is said to be a once-in-a-hundred-year genius. She has already mastered the medical classics of Yaowang Valley. My aunt's medical skills are very good. You are smart and will never make mistakes in your judgment.”
Cao Yuzhen said sincerely: "Your Majesty, please make arrangements in advance."
After Zhao Shan came to his senses, he asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Cao Yuzhen showed a smile in his eyes and explained: "Your Majesty, the epidemic is mainly transmitted from one to another. As long as people are prohibited from going out and Luoyang is temporarily blocked, after the heavy rain, everything will be fine."
"At this stage, we only need to keep all the people behind closed doors, and then arrange for soldiers to patrol each village. If there is a problem, report it immediately, and the soldiers will report it to each level for handling."
"The situation was easily controlled."
"If we don't take such measures, when the epidemic spreads, countless people in Luoyang will become infected."
Due to Cao Yuzhen's continuous busyness, although his appearance was handsome, he was already showing deep exhaustion, his voice was even hoarse, and his eyes looking at Zhao Shan were full of expectation.
She hopes Zhao Shan agrees.
Only in this way can we survive this upcoming epidemic.
After Zhao Shan thought carefully, he did not answer in a hurry and asked again: "Are you sure there will be an epidemic?"
"Sure!"
Cao Yuzhen answered without hesitation and said quickly: "We are currently at the seasonal transition point of autumn. The cold air invades, and we are already susceptible to wind cold. In addition, the heavy rain continues and the cold air permeates the air. After the wind evil invades, the symptoms of the common people will be aggravated. It will be more troublesome, please be clear to your majesty."
Zhao Shan nodded and replied: "I have taken note of your reminder. But it is impossible to blockade Luoyang and ban everyone from going out."
"His Majesty!"
Cao Yuzhen's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
She frowned, her bright eyes showing unconcealable disappointment, and said in a deep voice: "Officials in the court say that your Majesty is a holy king, and he has the style of a great ancestor."
"Your Majesty knows that I am right, why don't you accept it?"
"Does Your Majesty want to watch the people die?"
"Does Your Majesty want to use this to sell food for profit? Or does Your Majesty also intend to use this to bankrupt the people and make them lose their fields due to disasters?"
Cao Yu was so anxious that he dared to say anything, and without any scruples, he said loudly: "Is it possible that your Majesty may appear to be a wise king, but in reality he is a faint-hearted king who has no regard for the life and death of the people?"
Zhao Shan smiled in his heart when he heard Cao Yuzhen's words.
Cao Yu is so naive.
Luoyang City is so big, and it is the imperial capital of Daqian, but it is impossible to block Luoyang City and prohibit people from going out.
Without supplies of supplies, should we let the people die?
Moreover, it is unreasonable in the eyes of the people to immediately blockade the country when nothing has happened.
The most important point is that in an era when medical skills were lacking, supplies were scarce, and information was blocked, the so-called blockade approach seemed smart, but in fact it was too taken for granted.
This is idealistic thinking.
Zhao Shan said unhurriedly: "It is impossible to blockade Luoyang. We can only use troops to cover up the water and earth. Otherwise, the consequences of the blockade will immediately cause unrest in Luoyang."
"Hunjun!"
Cao Yuzhen cursed in anger.
After Cao Mengchan saw it, she quickly cast a comforting look at Cao Yuzhen, signaling Cao Yuzhen not to be impatient.
Cao Mengchan looked at Zhao Shan again and said, "Your Majesty, my aunt doesn't have any bad intentions, she is just relatively simple."
Zhao Shan did not get angry and said with a smile: "Yuzhen, disaster relief and treatment are not a simple government order. An order from above will affect thousands of households below."
"Don't talk about it. You go home and make an arrangement. It is strictly forbidden for the Cao family to go out, and it is strictly forbidden for the Cao family's servants to interact with the outside world."
"What will be the result of your observation?"
"If you can't even control the Cao family. Looking at the huge city of Luoyang, there are countless noble families, businessmen from various countries, and spies from other kings. How can you control it?"
Zhao Shan said: "Ruling a country is not just a matter of words, it is very complicated."
Cao Yuzhen was about to continue scolding, but when he heard Zhao Shan's words, he held his head high and looked stubborn, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I will control the Cao family well. If you want to use the Cao family to block me, that is impossible. "
Zhao Shan smiled and said, "I'll wait and see."
"Folk girl, say goodbye!"
Cao Yuzhen left in a hurry.
Zhao Shan looked at Cao Yuzhen's leaving figure, smiled softly, then looked at Cao Mengchan, and said: "Chan'er, you are pregnant, so you must pay attention to safety. Do not drink any raw or cold water, and avoid contact with people outside. "
Cao Mengchan felt Zhao Shan's concern and said warmly in her heart: "I will remember your Majesty's instructions."
She changed the topic and continued: "Your Majesty, my aunt grew up in Yaowang Valley and has not been exposed to much human society. She is not targeting your Majesty, so please don't take it to heart."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "How could I blame her? It's too late to thank her. With her reminder, I can make arrangements in advance."
Cao Mengchan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She was worried that Cao Yuzhen's matter would affect Zhao Shan's mood.
Zhao Shan stood up and said: "Because of my aunt's reminder, I have to arrange the follow-up immediately. You should rest early."
Cao Mengchan said: "Your Majesty, take care."
Zhao Shan got up and returned to the palace where government affairs were handled, thinking about Cao Yuzhen's reminder.
He believed in Cao Yuzhen's judgment and believed that the epidemic would come, so he could not wait and must make corresponding arrangements in advance.
After thinking about it, Zhao Shan decided to prepare masks to prevent infection first.
This is the best measure to isolate infection.
Zhao Shan drew a sketch of a mask, then arranged for someone to cut and sew layers of tulle to make a simple mask, and then said: "Zhang Xu!"
"The slave is here!"
Zhang Xu entered in a hurry.
Zhao Shan handed over the mask and ordered: "Let the East Factory organize the work and arrange for people to make such masks in large quantities. The more the better."
Zhang Xu looked at the mask and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this mask?"
Zhao Shan ordered: "This is worn on the mouth to prevent the spread of diseases. Yaowang Valley has judged that the heavy rain this time will cause diseases. Masks are a means of preventing the spread of diseases and must be arranged."
Zhang Xu knows Yaowang Valley,
After hearing this, he immediately became nervous and promised: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements immediately."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Go."
After Zhang Xu left, Zhao Shan called Zhuge Shang again, told Cao Yuzhen's judgment as a disciple of Yaowang Valley, and asked Zhuge Shang to arrange for people to publicize that the people should drink less raw water and be sure to boil the water.
Zhao Shan and Zhuge Shang communicated other details, and Zhuge Shang dragged his tired body to make arrangements.
After Zhao Shan finished his work, he rested in the main hall.
But he had something on his mind, so he slept very lightly, and heard a heavy rain outside all night. When it was dawn, Zhao Shan had just woken up from his daze, and there was a rush of footsteps.
Zhang Xu came in eagerly and reported: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhuge has something important to report!"
