The situation was not bad. There were still many people infected with the wind and cold the next day, but at a glance, they were a little sparser than yesterday.
Because of the wind and cold here at the pharmacy, I couldn't even take care of other symptoms for several days, until today a few days later. Only then can we be freed up to free up manpower to continue with vaccinations, other common diseases and pharmacy surgery operations.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Xiong felt relieved. He was careful not to make a big mistake. We have been making and distributing masks in the past two days, but they have some effect. There are only one or two doctors in the pharmacy who are on leave due to illness. What role masks can play in this is a matter of opinion.
Over the past few days, I have accumulated a lot of masks, which are all piled up in the warehouse. With other three parties sharing the pressure, it is not a problem to squeeze out a warehouse.
Seeing that the pharmacy was back on track that day, Zheng Xiong convened a brief meeting with everyone in the pharmacy.
"Everyone has worked hard these days, and I take this into consideration. When I'm on duty, each person goes to Medical Officer Wu to get fifty cents. After a tiring few days, I can use this money to make up for my physical deficit."
"Thank you, sir."
It's deafening. It's not a big effort, but the rewards are huge. Now the salary is also rising slowly. This thank you comes from the heart.
"Well, some people are dissatisfied or don't understand when they wear masks these days. I see it all. No one takes off their masks because of this. I am very satisfied. Today is free. I will explain it to you. If you encounter it in the future, You can also take precautions against this disease that can be transmitted from person to person."
"People have seven orifices, eyes, ears, mouth and nose, plus belly button and butthole. The breath exhaled from the mouth and nose and the dirt coming out of the butthole may contain toxins. The eyes, ears and belly button are not serious problems and do not exhale gas. , so there is no need to take more care. The toxins in the body of sick patients will spread out through these places. If you have been exposed to these substances, you may spread these substances to yourself through your mouth and nose. This is what I ask you to wear. The reason for wearing a mask.”
"As for what these material toxins are like and whether they exist or not, I will take you to see them later and let you see what one flower and one world means."
After Zheng Xiong finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and gave them some time to digest what they just said.
The doctors started talking to themselves, but gradually their voices became louder. There were some who believed it and many who didn't, and some worshiped Zheng Xiong to the point of blind trust and started to argue for their respective positions.
"Although what you say makes sense, is it a bit arbitrary? The medical sage Zhang Zhongjing said that typhoid infection is caused by Shi Xing Qi and will occur at a fixed time every year. I have no objection to wearing a mask, but other things have to be done. Consider carefully."
Some people echoed this, and they were all older. This question was too advanced.
"Your Majesty, when have you ever let us down? You are right to listen to your Majesty."
These words are obviously more recognized by others. Zheng Xiong's prestige is really too high, and others may not be able to study such things in their lifetime. Among them, Zhang Peng from the Department of Surgery feels the most deeply. The more operations he performs, the more he realizes that Zheng Xiong’s occasional instructions may seem like an antelope hanging its horns, and he is confused. However, after clinical trials, they are all targeted and the patient’s survival rate is improved. improved.
"Okay, stop arguing. I don't need you to believe me. After a while, I will open your eyes and you will know what to do. Now just do as I say. From now on, the doctor on duty will do everything I wear a mask, and every time I use it, I spray it with alcohol to disinfect it before using it again. Zhang Peng, you do the same, you wear it for me when you operate on a patient."
"Yes, sir."
"It's okay, let's disperse."
Everyone bowed and dismissed the meeting. The doctor wearing a mask from Huimin Pharmacy also brought some conversation topics to the city of Nanjing.
After a few good days, a clerk from Huimin Pharmacy came to the lobby, found a doctor, and started asking questions.
"Is Zheng Tiling here? Mr. Fu Yin has something to call upon."
Concise and to the point, the doctor thought for a moment.
"Yes, I saw you here this morning. You should be at the printing factory now. I'll take you there."
I took some time off from my busy schedule to touch fish and was lazy. After sitting for a long time, my body became a little stiff.
Not far away, the two quickly arrived at the printing factory and found Zheng Xiong in the corner.
"Sir, Master Fu Yin asked you to come over."
"I don't know what it is, please tell me something."
"I don't know about this, but I heard that the recent epidemic in Shangyuan County has been a bit fierce, which may be related to this."
"Thank you. I'll come to the government office later and treat you to dinner."
"I don't dare, it's a trivial matter, adults don't need to worry about it."
After briefly tidying up, Zheng Xiong followed the clerk to the government office.
A lot of people had already gathered in the government office. The magistrates of the counties under the jurisdiction of Yingtian Mansion and their own officials were all here. They were chatting in twos and threes. When they saw Zheng Xiong arriving, some colleagues who had some close friendship in the past also came. Two people gathered around and told Zheng Xiong what happened.
Just like the city of Nanjing, many people fell ill after a spring rain. The pharmacy in Shangyuan County was not comparable to Zheng Xiong's. Originally, three or two big cats and kittens were enough, but there were so many people.
Many people did not buy medicine. As a result, minor illnesses became serious after a long period of time, and protective measures were not adequate. They gradually spread throughout the county, and many people became seriously ill or even died from it. Although the mortality rate of the wind cold was not high. It’s not high, but when it spreads, it’s definitely not a pleasant thing.
The county magistrate of Shangyuan County wanted to hide it at first and did not take more care. However, he ordered the city gate to be sealed to prevent leaks from affecting his future.
An official who was passing by on business noticed something unusual and reported it to Zheng Yiyan. Zheng Yiyan summoned the Shangyuan County magistrate and learned that the situation in Shangyuan County was already very serious. He hurriedly summoned the subordinate officials of Yingtian Mansion. They all gathered together to think about countermeasures.
Governor Zheng Yiyan arrived and formally held the meeting.
"Shangyuan County will put it down first. Let's talk about the situation in Yingtian Mansion in other counties and whether similar situations have occurred."
"Sir, Lishui is fine. There is no widespread epidemic."
"Sir, the same goes for Jiang Ning, no problem."
~~~
"Sir, there is no problem in Nanjing. I heard that hundreds of people were infected with wind-chill at the beginning. There were dozens of people at Huimin Pharmacy, and they even made masks. There are very few people suffering from wind-chill these days. "
After asking around, there were no problems with Yingtian Mansion and the six counties under its jurisdiction, and Zheng Yiyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then the only problem left is Shangyuan County. Where is Zheng Xiong?"
"My lord, I'm here."
Zheng Yiyan was a little unhappy. He didn't know whether it was because he saw that the bill from Huimin Pharmacy was zero cents again or for some other reason.
"Zheng Xiong, do you know that there is such a serious epidemic in Shangyuan County?"
"I don't know, should I know?"
"Of course you should know that Yingtian Mansion is not just a Nanjing city. Last time, His Majesty upgraded your Huimin Pharmacy to include six counties under its jurisdiction."
Zheng Yiyan is a bit angry.
Zheng Xiong said innocently.
"But I haven't received any feedback from the pharmacy below, and no one has come to report to me."
Hearing this, Zheng Yiyan looked at the local county magistrate.
"is that so?"
"Sir, it's almost like this. My pharmacy didn't respond, so I took care of it myself. This also caused a big disaster for me."
The magistrate of Shangyuan County spoke quickly. He couldn't offend Zheng Xiong now. He was still waiting for Zheng Xiong to resolve the matter. It was only true that he opened his mouth now to leave a good impression on Zheng Xiong.
Others also spoke after hearing this.
"Sir, the medicinal materials we have here are all provided by the herbal medicine warehouse of Taiyuan Hospital, and there is nothing else important. Maybe I haven't changed yet, and I thought it was better to get it from Taiyuan Hospital, so I didn't go to Zheng Tilin to get it from the Yamen."
