Liang Zijun's mentor did not have a detailed explanation of this disease, and only wrote a letter on the method of preventing and controlling the epidemic, and did not say more.

Chen Qing took it and took a look, and saw that it was some basic prevention and control methods, so he discussed it with him.

In ancient times, there were basic epidemic prevention methods such as centralized fecal treatment, inability to drink raw water, and cremation of corpses.

All Chen Qing could think of was to wash his hands frequently and disinfect more, but in ancient times, there was no disinfectant, so he could only use the stupid method of boiling water to boil clothes and scatter plant ashes, and cover his mouth and nose with a cloth towel to prevent respiratory infection.

Mr. praised Chen Qing for such insight, and praised a few words and asked people to do what they could, if Yilai County really has no medicine, it will also be a doomed disaster.

Saying goodbye to Mr. Chen Qing returned to the other courtyard at night. When Liang Bo learned that there was a plague in Yilai, he spit out everything he had seen and heard during his travels.

It was rare for Liang Boken to say more, so Chen Qing listened silently, until the moonlit treetops, and then they rested.

Liang Bo traveled with Liang Qigui when he was young, and he also encountered villages with occasional epidemics, but fortunately, there were already prevention and control methods at that time, and he drank the decoction in advance, which also saved most of the lives of the village.

The symptoms of human and animal infections like Yilai are unknown, and Uncle Liang doesn't dare to come up with ideas, so he can only go back to the house and chant incense, hoping that the husband will have a spirit in the sky and bless Qingping County not to be affected by this disease.

Raising medicinal materials to buy prescriptions, even if Qin Kexin came forward, he didn't get much, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy heard that there was a plague in Yilai, so he immediately shirked it, planning to store more herbs in case of emergency.

Fortunately, Qin Kexin is good at setting up sets, and he negotiated the purchase amount in advance, otherwise these people would have to only go in and not borrow money to make money.

Qin Kexin even knocked and deceived the pharmacy with a large number of herbs, blocking the major shopkeepers with bitter words, even if he wanted to regret it, he was afraid that it would be too late, so he had to beg him to leave some life for the people in the county.

Although Yilai is tens of thousands of miles away from here, but there is no medicine to prevent the epidemic in this county, Qin Kexin did not buy all the medicinal materials, but left a small half for epidemic prevention, and the rest was loaded and transported to Yilai the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Spending 10,000 taels to get two prescriptions already made Chen Qing extremely happy, not to mention the various medicinal materials purchased at a low price. Chen Qing thanked him repeatedly, grateful to Qin Kexin for his help, and bluntly said that he would definitely repay in the future.

Qin Kexin smiled and sighed, "Compared to Chen Fulang's actions, a little help is really not enough, this trip is a long way, and it is accompanied by epidemics, I think it is better to hire reliable people to transport it, don't rush in person."

Chen Qing thought about it and nodded in response, first, he couldn't leave the house, and secondly, he was afraid that he would bring the illness back and harm the whole family, but who should be entrusted with such an errand?

Qin Kexin saw that he was worried, so he pointed out a clear way, "Don't go to ask Liu Zhizhou for chargé d'affaires, now that Yilai is trapped, there must be officers and soldiers to handle it, if it is entrusted to the government, the goods can be unloaded three miles away, and then transported back to the county seat by the Yilai guards......"

Chen Qing thanked him again and again, and invited someone to have a good meal in Wanle Zhai, so that he could go to Qingping Town that day.

Set off the day after tomorrow, and take advantage of your free time to go to the shopkeeper Lin to ask, maybe he has a life-saving solution.

Meeting with Shopkeeper Lin and his aunt in the restaurant, Chen Qing explained the difficulty. Aunt Liu was so anxious that she couldn't even open her eyes, how could such a good official who thought about the people have such a misfortune?

Shopkeeper Lin hesitated again and again, and then took out the rare ancient recipe treasured at home and said, "Hey~ Listen to Liu Niang's words, how can I cherish the broom again! This is a prescription obtained by the ancestors by chance, and it is useless, so I will take it together this time, if I can save the people of a county, it can be regarded as making the best use of it."

Chen Qing took it with both hands and cherished it, "If it wasn't a last resort, Chen Qing wouldn't dare to come to the door to ask for it, but if he has made a contribution, he will return it."

"Well, it's useless to keep it in my hands...... If you have to use it, you don't have to put it away carefully, I still have a bottom recipe, not bad for this one" Lin shopkeeper said and greeted him with a smile, and before leaving, he gave Chen Qing most of the medicinal materials stored in the shop at market price, and asked people not to go in person.

Being able to get the help of the elders, Chen Qing was indescribably moved in his heart, and he had been friends with the shopkeeper Lin for many years, and many words no longer needed to be expressed in words, just one look was enough to express his gratitude.

"I still have a cousin in the provincial capital, many medicinal materials have nowhere to buy, most of them are dragged to buy him, you go with this letter, he will help you raise it after seeing it" Before leaving, the shopkeeper Lin sent a letter to Chen Qing, looking at the vigorous and powerful handwriting, Chen Qing smiled and waved goodbye to his family.

Now that he has his own blood, family, and mentors, how fortunate is he in this life?

With the guidance of the shopkeeper Lin, Chen Qing looked for people as soon as he entered the provincial capital, settled the people and hurried to the mansion.

Liu Weizhi saw that he was in such a hurry, and hurriedly pushed off official business to lead people to the inner hall to speak.

Knowing that Chen Qing's trip was all due to the epidemic in Yilai, Liu Weizhi felt deeply righteous and said again and again that he would definitely handle this matter and live up to Chen Qing's trust.

With Liu Weizhi's help, the goods will be escorted by the official messenger the next day, under the banner of the government, which can avoid checkpoints and ensure that the goods are not lost.

The cousin of the shopkeeper Lin raised the shortage of medicinal materials overnight, and only sent the goods before departure, Chen Qing thanked him again and again after paying off the money, and gave an extra fifty taels to feel a little relieved.

The soldiers besieging the county and town received orders from above, so they naturally did not dare to delay their actions, and Shen Shucheng received these ten carts of life-saving herbs that night.

Pinching the thick stack of letters in his arms, Shen Shucheng was moved to tears, he, a virtuous brother, saved him from fire and water several times, but he never reciprocated a single bit, how could he not feel ashamed?

Thinking of the people of the whole county, they did not dare to delay, so they sorted out the prescriptions overnight, decocted the decoction, and used them on the patients to test the feasible prescriptions.

Ten carts of medicinal materials are just a drop in the bucket for the entire county and town, but in the eyes of human life, medicine is better than myrrh. Supplemented by what the teacher said in the letter, over time, the epidemic will be suppressed within a controllable range for the time being.

At present, the most important thing is to crack the epidemic, and the epidemic prevention is in place, and it must be able to treat it on the basis of not increasing the number of patients, otherwise most of the people will be sick, and even if the court can spare the unharmed people, I am afraid that these patients will not be able to escape the burning of the road.

Fortunately, three days later, one of the patients who tried the medicine was obviously in better condition, and Shen Shuchen did not dare to delay, and immediately asked the imperial court to ask the medical officer to develop it.

The Monk Pharmacy of the Taiyi Department received the appointment, discussed it all night, and finally changed the prescription and sent the prescription to Yilai overnight. As for the collection of medicinal materials, it will take time, and it will take half a month to arrive at the earliest.

Eight hundred miles of urgency, all in time to deliver the military information during the march, Shen Shucheng breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the prescription, with the prescription, there is no need to worry about the imperial court ordering the slaughter of the city.

The ten carts of medicinal herbs sent by Chen Qing were of great use, and many patients with short-term illnesses were able to save their lives, while those who were terminally ill and blind did not take effect. As a last resort, Shen Shucheng could only give up these people and focus on treating the epidemic patients with short-term illness.

With the means of treatment, the epidemic people who were outside the city have returned to the city to seek a chance to live, and the government has reduced their worries and made every effort to treat the sick.

By the time the herbs transported by the imperial court arrived in Yilai, most of the people in the county had already died, and the corpses were piled up, and the firewood and grass used for the burning of the corpses alone filled half of the mountain, but even so, it could not erase the people's desire for life.

Shen Shu wrapped a cloth scarf in his mouth, lit the firewood with his own hands, and looked at the raging flames, many people shed unwilling tears, and the cry shook the world, even if there were no relatives who lost their lives, they were deeply saddened and cried.

At this point, the epidemic in Yilai was solved, and the imperial court accumulated a good prescription for the epidemic, and Shen Shucheng made meritorious contributions under the rule and returned to Beijing to report on his work the following year.

No matter how great the merit is, it can't extinguish the powerlessness in Shen Shucheng's heart, thousands of people died, and the scorching smell of the cremation of the corpse lingered in his nose and made him unable to swallow, until three days later, he vomited when he smelled the smell of meat, and fell into a heart disease that could not eat meat.
