After being scolded by Liu Haojia, Magistrate Meng thought hard and remembered something, which seemed to be very similar to what the young man opposite said. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret that he had focused on the Four Books and Five Classics when he was young, and just wanted to be a Jinshi.
But after becoming an official, he was busy defending the peak and singing poems with the gentry. He had never seriously read any books on this subject. As a result, he was now accused by a young man! However, he still braced himself and said: "Master Liu, you are irresponsible to yourself and the court by acting like this! Without notifying anyone, you actually went deep into the epidemic area! If you are infected with the epidemic, let How can I explain to the court?"
Liu Haojia said loudly: "Don't worry about it, Mr. Meng! I will not go out before the epidemic is over. But if I need something here in the future, I hope that you will arrange for someone to deliver it as soon as possible. This is related to People’s lives and deaths!”
Magistrate Meng became even more angry when he heard this! He felt that this young man was desperate for merit! If something happened to him, wouldn't he be hurt? Now that I finally have a chance to be promoted, I must not let him ruin it!
However, Magistrate Meng could not recall the fact that he did not cooperate at all when Liu Haojia first arrived. People always like to blame others for their mistakes! Thinking of this, Magistrate Meng rolled up his sleeves and said: "It's actually like this. Mr. Liu, please take care of yourself! It's just that you won't be able to get out before the epidemic is over. If you forcefully break through the checkpoint, you will be shot by the officers and soldiers!"
But Liu Haojia ignored his intention at all and turned around and walked back to his camp. This made Magistrate Meng feel even more embarrassed! So he directly yelled at the officer beside him and said: "I tell you that from today on, no one is allowed to leave the village. Once they come out, they must rush back immediately!"
Although the officer was ashamed of what Magistrate Meng did, he could only agree. But then he still said: "But what if Master Liu and the others go to Xiaoqinghe Village next door?"
Qinghe Village was built next to the river. There is another village on the opposite side of the river. This village is called Xiaoqinghe Village. Because the two villages are so close to each other, they are actually surrounded by a circle.
Magistrate Zhou thought about this and said loudly: "They can move around freely within the limits of the officers and soldiers, but they can't come out. Do you understand?"
The officer nodded repeatedly to express his understanding, and then watched Magistrate Meng leave angrily. Seeing him walking away, the officer waved to the side, and a servant in civilian clothes came over. The officer said: "How about it? I'm a loyal person, right? I didn't tell them about your affairs at all! These civil servants are not good people. They rush to the front when they want to get credit, and they stay at the back when something goes wrong!"
The servant said with a smile: "Yes, that's it! My second young master comes from a noble family, and I told you that my second young master is still a popular person in front of Jin Shang, and he can often enter the palace to meet Jin Shang! So, you understandable!"
The officer nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand, I understand! Don't worry, don't worry! If Mr. Liu needs anything in the future, I will do my best, brother!"
After saying that, he took his servant and said, "Come on, come to my tent. I still have some good wine. Then tell me about the few people who stayed with your young master. Last time you just said that they were also honorable men." You are from a noble family, and I didn’t say anything else clearly at all.”
The officers and servants went to exchange feelings, and Liu Haojia entered the camp and started to get busy. They now took off their protective suits, soaked them in lime water, then washed their hands and faces before gathering together to eat.
After a busy day, everyone is very hungry. So even though the food cooked by the servants tasted very average, everyone still ate it up like a storm!
After dinner, taking advantage of everyone's presence, Liu Haojia began to assign tasks and said: "Peilan and Xinyi will lead three servants to Xiaoqinghe Village on the other side tomorrow. You have all seen what I did today, and tomorrow Go ahead and copy it, are there any problems?"
Zhang Peilan thought for a while and said, "It would be better if we could bring a few villagers from Qinghe Village with us! They must all know each other, and it will be easier to talk."
Liu Haojia nodded and said: "Yes, it is a good idea! Tomorrow you go to Mr. Gu and ask him to help you choose a few people.
Then they discussed the new problems discovered today and went to bed separately. Tomorrow will still be a busy day.
After breakfast the next morning, the team was divided into two groups. One group went to Xiaoqinghe Village to copy everything they did yesterday. And Liu Haojia went to Qinghe Village to see if the work they had done was over?
The first thing Liu Haojia inspected was the ward prepared overnight, which will be where patients are concentrated for treatment. The entire epidemic ward is made up of five adjacent courtyards that are connected. All the extra stuff in the room has been removed, and beds collected from various families are placed there. Moreover, all the rooms had been splashed with lime water, and there was a faint smell of lime.
Then he checked the arrangements of each family. According to the requirements, except for a few people, most people are required to stay at home and not go out. If you need to go out, you must apply first. However, in the eyes of the villagers, this request is unnecessary, and they will not leave their homes!
Then he checked the place where the food and medicines were stored, and the work was done well here. The last stop is the place by the river where everyone can take a bath. An area has been fenced off with sheets and wooden stakes in the shallows of the river, and extends from the shore into the river, making it easier for everyone to soak in lime water and then go to the river to wash away the lime water. Be aware that parasites also play a role in the spread of disease.
After the two of them walked around and returned to the epidemic ward, Liu Haojia asked: "Have you found the person who takes care of the patients?"
Mr. Gu nodded repeatedly and said: "We have found good people. They are all patients at home. If you are willing to take care of your own family, you can take care of other people. It's just a matter of helping others!"
Liu Haojia said: "In this case, let everyone take action and start moving patients. Remember, everyone who transfers patients must cover their mouths and noses and cannot have direct contact with the patients!"
Second Master Gu nodded repeatedly to express his understanding, and quickly ran to arrange the transfer of the patient. As for Liu Haojia, he only needs to bring someone to supervise the entire process. And he was careful not to step forward. After all, he was not willing to put himself in danger before he was vaccinated with cowpox!
Since Qinghe Village is a village relatively far away from the epidemic center, there are not many patients here, only about 60 people, so the transfer work was completed quickly.
