Sincerity House.
On Liu Bowen's side, although he did not go to court, the matter in Qingzhou Mansion was so serious that it was natural that he would not know about it.
"It's really unexpected that Mr. Su has already arrived in Qingzhou Mansion."
Liu Bowen sighed with emotion: "The people of Qingzhou Prefecture are so lucky. This plague can be solved."
Others have no confidence in Su Jing and make various analyses.
For Liu Bowen, it is quite simple.
Su Jing can definitely do it. If Su Jing can't do it, then no one can.
"Sir, Mr. Su is very powerful, but this plague may not be easily solved."
The housekeeper stood beside Liu Bowen and said.
Liu Bowen nodded and said: "Yes, the earliest record of this plague dates from the pre-Qin Dynasty. "Zhou Li Tianguan Zhongzai" once said that the disease doctor can treat the diseases of all peoples. There are malaria in all seasons, and in spring. There are barren head diseases, itching and scabies in summer, malaria and cold in autumn, and cough and upper respiratory tract disease in winter."
"Either in spring, summer, autumn or winter, epidemics are likely to occur. Not only that, epidemics don't choose any place when they appear. They will appear almost anywhere."
"Moreover, plagues generally do not appear alone. "Hanshu Tianwenzhi" says that when the earth is shaking, the bells are ringing, and the people are dying of the epidemic, and the coffins are expensive, and they stop in autumn. This is the plague that appears after the earthquake. "
"There is also a theory that the yin and yang are out of position and the cold and heat are at the wrong time, which is why epidemics occur."
"It can be said that the plague does not distinguish between seasons and seasons, and is accompanied by various disasters."
"Dealing with the plague has always been a very big deal."
Liu Bowen's knowledge was still very profound. Regarding the plague, he just talked casually and quoted scriptures.
The housekeeper said: "Sir, according to you, this plague is difficult for even gods to solve. Even Mr. Su may not be able to solve it."
Liu Bowen smiled and said: "No, no."
He didn't explain why, so he could only talk to the housekeeper so much.
If you really talk too much, it will only harm the housekeeper.
Liu Bowen was confident that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty knew how powerful Su Jing was than himself.
…
The Duke's Mansion of the State of E.
Although Chang Yuchun is a military commander, he can't say anything about the epidemic in Qingzhou Prefecture.
But now, Chang Yuchun knew that Su Jing was besieged by the officials.
As his own savior, Chang Yuchun wanted to help Su Jing, but he really had no good solution now.
"Stop wandering around! I get upset when I see you wandering around!"
Seeing Chang Yuchun wandering around the house, Lan couldn't help but curse.
Chang Yuchun said: "Madam, I don't want to either, but Mr. Su is in a bad situation now. I just want to help, don't I? After all, I am also our family's savior!"
Lan Shi rolled his eyes at Chang Yuchun and said, "If you ask me, Mr. Su's incredible calculation will not be troubled by such a trivial matter."
What stands out about the Lan family is that they are superstitious and don't panic at all.
People who seek to live and worship Buddha have this characteristic.
"Madam, that's not what you said. This is a plague. The entire Qingzhou Prefecture has been affected. It's no small matter!"
Chang Yuchun explained immediately.
He is a reckless man when it comes to marching and fighting, but this does not mean that Chang Yuchun has no brains.
I have been leading troops to fight for so many years, so I have never seen the plague before.
War is also an important reason for the outbreak of plague.
There were too many dead bodies and the sanitary conditions could not be guaranteed.
Disease will naturally breed.
Chang Yuchun still remembers that the main method of treatment at that time was to drive the sick people to one place and let them fend for themselves.
It's cruel, but there is no other way.
As for good people, they stay away from those who are sick.
At last the epidemic was over, and there were many casualties.
That's why he was so worried now.
"So what about the plague? Anyway, I believe in Mr. Su."
Lan didn't listen at all and only believed what he wanted to believe.
Needless to say, this set is still very useful in certain situations.
"You really have long hair and short knowledge, I can't tell you that!"
Chang Yuchun said helplessly.
When Lan heard this, he became a little annoyed and said: "Chang Yuchun, what are you talking about? I am short-sighted, but I also know that it is useless to do anything now. If I really care about Mr. Su, I might as well wait for His Majesty to punish Mr. Su. It’s time to beg for mercy!”
Please plead for mercy when punished!
Hearing this, Chang Yuchun's eyes suddenly lit up.
What my wife Lan said really makes sense!
"Father."
At this time Chang Wan came to Chang Yuchun.
"Wan'er, what's wrong?"
Chang Yuchun asked.
Chang Wan said: "My daughter thinks that since the prince brother believes in Mr. Su so much, then this matter should be safe."
Chang Wan didn't know that much about national affairs.
I have never experienced anything like a plague.
In other words, Chang Yuchun was very protective.
Her view is simple, she believes in people who Zhu Biao believes in.
Lan nodded and said, "Did you hear that? What Wan'er said makes sense. His Highness the Crown Prince trusts Mr. Su, so our family should trust Mr. Su."
Chang Wan is already the confirmed future crown princess, and if nothing else, she will be the future queen.
The Chang family and Prince Zhu Biao are a complete united front.
"Wan'er, you are really our family's lucky star, what you say is so good!"
Chang Yuchun was quite happy.
Chang Wan just nodded slightly, and became more and more curious about Su Jing, who trusted Zhu Biao so much.
There was also some movement in the Wei Guogong Mansion.
"Father, you are above the court, why don't you speak for Mr. Su?"
Xu Miaoyun asked Xu Da, her face full of confusion.
Although Xu Da was a military commander, he had many official positions because of his ability in literature and martial arts.
He was always present at the morning meeting, but said nothing.
At this moment, as soon as he told Xu Miaoyun about the situation, he was questioned by Xu Miaoyun.
Xu Da explained: "Miaoyun, father thought you could see clearly. Now is not the time to speak for Mr. Su."
Xu Miaoyun was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then said: "Father, do you think Mr. Su can solve the plague in Qingzhou Prefecture?"
As a female student, Xu Miaoyun studied a lot.
Although I have never seen the plague with my own eyes, I have learned a lot about it from books.
"Why, Miaoyun, do you also think Mr. Su can't handle this plague?"
Xu Da asked Xu Miaoyun.
Xu Miaoyun hesitated for a moment and said: "Father, the plague begins with heavy snow, occurs at the winter solstice, is born during the minor cold, peaks at the beginning of spring, is weaker than the rain, declines from the hibernation, finally vernal equinox, and ends at Qingming."
"It's the beginning of the plague now, and it's still early before the Qingming Festival. Although Mr. Su is powerful, my daughter is not optimistic about this matter."
According to the books Xu Miaoyun read, the plague would have to last for at least a hundred days before it could be completely eliminated.
Now, the plague in Qingzhou Prefecture has just begun.
Xu Miaoyun thinks it is impossible to solve it now.
"Miaoyun, probably many of the ministers today have the same idea as you."
Xu Da said with a smile.
Not only do they think the same, they even say the same thing.
Xu Miaoyun said: "Father, is there anything wrong in what my daughter said?"
Xu Da immediately said: "Yes, of course it is true. This is recorded in the book. There is no problem. It's just that the most important thing in the court today is not the plague."
Not a plague?
Xu Miaoyun obviously didn't understand it at the first time.
"Father, what is going on?"
Xu Miaoyun asked Xu Da.
Xu Da said: "Today in the court, there were clear distinctions between people. Either they were silent, or they were very unfavorable to Mr. Su. Doesn't this mean something?"
After listening to Xu Da's words, Xu Miaoyun immediately understood.
"Father, are you saying that in fact, what happened today is that the plague was just an introduction to the attitude of the ministers towards Mr. Su?"
Xu Miaoyun looked at Xu Da and asked.
Xu Da nodded and said: "Yes, so my father's silence today has actually shown his attitude, and your Majesty can understand it."
"Besides, I think Mr. Su can really handle the Qingzhou Prefecture plague this time."
As soon as Xu Da said these words, Xu Miaoyun suddenly looked at him in surprise.
"Father, do you really think so?"
Xu Miaoyun didn't understand.
His father's view of Su Jing seemed to have changed somewhat.
Xu Da nodded and said, "Yes, I really think so. Although I have no basis for it, I just have a feeling that Mr. Su is not an ordinary person and can naturally do things that ordinary people cannot do."
As a general of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da led the troops to fight bravely and strategically.
Intuition is also important at some point.
"Father, what if Mr. Su fails?"
Xu Miaoyun continued to ask.
Xu Da smiled and said: "What else can I do? I will go to His Majesty to plead for mercy when the time comes. Mr. Su is a great benefactor to all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. How can I still shrink from this matter?"
Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about the telescope and firecracker invented by Su Jing, which greatly improved the combat power of the Ming Dynasty’s army.
Xu Da, as the first military general in the Ming Dynasty, couldn't just do this.
"That's good. My daughter is relieved now."
Xu Miaoyun nodded.
…
There was a lot of discussion inside and outside the court, and there were also discussions in the main hall.
"Is the eldest brother actually in Qingzhou Mansion? That is a place where the plague is spreading. Is there any danger?"
Zhu Xi said worriedly.
He and Zhu Biao are the closest in age and have been together the longest, so they naturally have the best relationship.
"Second brother, don't worry. The eldest brother has arrived at the Qingzhou government office. There is definitely no need to worry about safety issues."
Zhu Fan said: "I just heard that Mr. Su is handling the current plague in Qingzhou Prefecture. I don't know what the situation is."
"Mr. Su?"
Zhu Xi was stunned and said in surprise: "Could this be Mr. Su? Real or fake? This is a plague!"
Obviously, Zhu Xi has not fully accepted this reality at this time.
Zhu Fan nodded and said: "This matter is already confirmed. My father said it in the court. Many of the ministers are quite resistant to this matter and are clamoring to arrest Mr. Su."
"How do those people know how powerful Mr. Su is?"
Zhu Feng said with excitement on his face: "If you ask me, if Mr. Su takes action, the matter will be settled. Brother must be thinking the same as me, so he gave the order."
Needless to say, the simpler the mind, the more brainless it is to believe in Su Jing.
Zhu Fan didn't say anything. He also had great trust in Su Jing in his heart.
But, everything still has to wait.
"Fourth brother, what do you think?"
Zhu Xi asked Zhu Di, who was silent.
Zhu Di said: "I don't know, but I want to ask fifth brother, he should know."
Zhu Rui is also a student of Su Jing and has been studying for a long time.
When it comes to understanding Su Jing, Zhu Rui must be among the most knowledgeable.
"Yes, fifth brother must know, but now fifth brother spends all day in the Agricultural College, paying no attention to anything, and doesn't know what the meaning of those things is."
Zhu Xi shook his head. He could only say this for something he didn't understand.
"There's no need to disturb fifth brother. We'll find out later anyway. The news from Qingzhou Mansion should be sent back soon."
Zhu Fan said.
No matter how much they speculate, they still have to look at the final facts.
"That's right. Anyway, I'm on Mr. Su's side."
Zhu Ming still expressed his views clearly.
Kaos, on the other hand, did not show any attitude.
Plague was also a very terrifying existence in ancient Greece, and a very great figure, Hippocrates, was born.
Rome inherited much of Greece's knowledge and civilization heritage, but it did not make much progress in the matter of plague.
The method found by Hippocrates has always been used, fire!
The burning of fire may be able to purify the air and isolate pollution. By lighting fires in open areas near areas with high incidence of infectious diseases and streets, the plague can be isolated and eliminated.
The reason why Kaos did not give any advice was because he had already discovered it in ancient classics.
In this land of China, some people have long discovered the role of fire.
When the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing dealt with the plague, he had a way to burn incense.
But compared to the territory of Rome, the Ming Dynasty was obviously much larger, and the scale and scope of the plague was also much larger.
The method of fire is not that powerful.
Therefore, Kaos is also very curious, how will Su Jing control the plague, and what kind of methods does it have?
He believed that Su Jing would not be helpless.
…
Qingzhou Prefecture.
After nearly ten days of prevention and control, the plague has been extremely effectively controlled.
In the government office, Su Jing and three others have arrived at the door.
"Master Magistrate, all you need to do is continue to implement it. The plague will be over soon."
Su Jing said to Jia Shaozu who was seeing him off: "You don't have to see me off."
I have been here for more than ten days, which is already a long time.
Su Jing also handed over all the methods for preventing and treating infectious diseases to Jia Shaozu without reservation.
As long as it is implemented resolutely, the plague will be completely controlled.
"Mr. Su, do you really not need my help? No matter what it is, I can send someone to help you directly."
Jia Shaozu looked at Su Jing and wanted to keep him and do something for him.
Su Jing smiled and said: "No need, the people of Qingzhou Prefecture still need the prefect, so let's stop here."
"Mr. Su has great righteousness, please accept Jia's respect! On behalf of the people of Qingzhou Prefecture, Jia, thank you Mr. Su!"
Jia Shaozu knelt down directly towards Su Jing to salute.
Su Jing immediately grabbed Jia Shaozu and said, "Don't do it, magistrate. I just did what I should do. Thank you or something. When I come to Qingzhou Prefecture again in the future, the magistrate will treat me to some delicious food."
Jia Shaozu nodded and said: "Mr. Su, don't worry, no matter when Mr. Su comes, Qingzhou Mansion welcomes you!"
