Chapter 429: The Great Fire in the West Corner of Pingcheng

In the county office, everyone was discussing nervously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Song Yi assigned all kinds of things, he asked everyone to express their opinions and check and fill in the gaps. After the first round of quick discussions, it was finally the turn of the key issues.

The rest of the people, whether it is to maintain order, calm people's hearts, distribute supplies, etc., are only playing an auxiliary role, and in the final analysis, it is still the doctors who still need to go into battle when it comes to curing diseases.

Jiang Huijia said: "The way to cure the epidemic, prevention is better than cure. Although the epidemic has already broken out, it seems that it is too late to talk about epidemic prevention. But many have been infected, and many have not been infected. ”

She talked about the origin of the plague, the dangers of various rodents, and the importance of environmental management.

Most of the people from the capital have heard of Jiang Huijia's plague, but the people in Ping County have already suffered from the plague, but in fact, they don't know that it is the plague that has harmed most of Yingtianfu!

"It's the rats who are causing the trouble? No wonder there are a lot of rats in the city these days!" a servant who was standing in the corner and listening to the errand was fascinated by this, and suddenly asked aloud.

Zhang Yingbiao was taken aback and was busy reprimanding.

Jiang Huijia immediately said: "What are the places where there are so many, and to what extent? Can there be an organization to exterminate rats?"

The official spoke in an official dialect with a Pingxian accent, and opened his mouth and said: "What kind of rats are you exterminating? Everyone will be so barren that they can't live for miles, who still has an empty tube of rats? I have also seen many people gluttonous meat at home, and they have caught rats and cooked them!"

This problem is serious, Jiang Huijia hurriedly said: "Be sure to inform the people that you must not eat rat meat." The plague is mostly spread by rodents, and they also eat rat meat, which is deadly?"

The official turned pale all of a sudden, and he cried out "ah" and said in a panic: "The Xiucai next door to my house is a thin and thin reader, and his mother will cook it for him when she catches a mouse, saying that it is to supplement the meat! Ouch, what can this do, Wang Xiucai, he will definitely get the plague! My family also has a three-year-old cub, don't call him sick!"

Jiang Huijia immediately reassured him and asked for his name.

The official said, "I'm ...... My name is He Youjun. "He was born with a black face, small eyes, a square nose, and a handsome person, not to mention ugly, it's good.

However, as soon as his rather funny name was announced, the atmosphere in the hall was slightly relaxed.

Jiang Huijia said: "Don't panic, write it down, and we'll go to your house to have a look." ”

These problems are not to be entangled now, and the focus is on rodent extermination first.

Jiang Huijia proposed several methods to exterminate rats.

If you want to talk about exterminating rats, it must not be to call three or five people, stupidly go to the mouth of the rat hole, and rely on brute force to catch mice.

This is inefficient, labor-intensive, and not cost-effective.

At this time, in Pingxian County, which is convenient to implement and can work quickly, Jiang Huijia temporarily thought of three major types of methods.

She said: "One of the rodent exterminations is environmental management, the second is to use all kinds of equipment and bait, and the third is to use drugs. Let me start with my humble opinion, and please correct me. ”

She elaborated on the specific practices of these three methods.

Environmental rodent eradication is a long-term solution, and in the short term, the key thing to do is to clean up.

Pingxian County is densely populated, not to mention house to house, all kinds of living dirt are often not dealt with in time, just say that the people's own homes, may not be able to tidy up very clean.

From this point of view, it makes sense that the number of people suffering from the plague in large households is far less than that of the common people in the market.

After all, there are groups of servants in the rich families, and some people clean up all day long, and rats have no living environment, and of course it is not easy to get the plague.

Jiang Huijia also talked about various mousetraps, rat traps, rat cages, or how to press, stuck, close, clamp, flip, and irrigate.

"But I'm just talking about it on paper, just talking about theory, but I have a little more experience on how to prepare rat poison. ”

As he was talking, everyone was also discussing, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, followed by a servant rushing in.

"Qian Jin!" Lou County Lieutenant stood up suddenly, his tone stern, "Why are you so reckless?"

The official named Qian Jin had a look of horror on his face, and he stammered for a moment before he gasped and said, "Yanshuzhuang was ...... It's burned!"

"What?" Lieutenant Lou was so startled that he immediately stood up.

The rest of the people, even those from the capital who were not familiar with Pingxian, all felt the seriousness of the matter.

Song Yi asked, "Where is Yanshuzhuang?"

Zhang Yingbiao hurriedly said: "It is a place to house plague patients. ”

The place where the plague patients were housed was burned!

The listeners were all shocked, but Song Yi did not hesitate, and immediately got up and said, "How long has the fire started?"

As he spoke, he strode out and said, "Hurry up and prepare supplies, and go to Yanshuzhuang immediately to rescue!"

Qian Jin trotted to follow: "Hui, Hui, my lord, when the fire was discovered, it burned a room...... Yes...... It's been a quarter of an hour! As soon as I found out that there was a fire, the small ones came, and the little ones ran fast......

Yanshuzhuang is located in the western corner of Pingcheng, which was originally the poorest and most chaotic place in Pingcheng, otherwise the officials of Pingcheng would not have placed the plague patients here.

As for Yanshuzhuang, it has a nice name, but it is actually a dilapidated old mansion.

Because many years ago, the owner of Yanshuzhuang had a tragedy, and then several owners lived in it, and in the end they all ended up miserable, and no one dared to live in this mansion, and then it was completely abandoned.

As a result, even the entire western corner of Pingcheng was stopped by the poorest people.

Fortunately, Pingcheng is not big, and although Yanshuzhuang is located in a remote location compared to the entire small city, it is actually not far from the county government.

The officials who called Qian Jin were indeed faster than ordinary people, and the half-quarter hour he said was actually equivalent to a quarter of an hour in modern times, that is, about fifteen minutes.

In fifteen minutes, he had covered almost five kilometers.

And although Song Yi and the others did not delay, they even had horses and carriages, and when they arrived at Yanshuzhuang, it was nearly ten minutes later, and they were not much faster than the speed of Qian Jin.

After all, there are many people, and they have to be dispatched, of course, it is not as convenient as Qian Jin and a single person to run.

Smoke was already billowing in the smoke tree, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the inside and outside were constantly crying.

There are many people in the vicinity who are carrying water to put out the fire, and there are also officials who are rescuing and commanding.

Thankfully, there is still a remnant well on the outskirts of Smoke Tree Village. With the concerted efforts of many people, the fire has not yet been extinguished, but at least it has not spread terribly.

"Daddy, you can't go, you can't go!"

Jiang Huijia hurried down from the carriage, and first heard such a sharp cry nearby.

"Stupid woman!" another male voice scolded in a rough voice, "Don't put out the fire, wait for this fire to burn over, and burn our house to ashes?"

"Ahh

On the other side, there was another terrible scream: "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you! You don't want to die! Woo woo......

I don't know how many cries, scoldings, wails, cries, and voices are intertwined.

The messy streets are even more congested with people I don't know how many.

There are so many people that I can't stretch it out at all.

Jiang Huijia immediately led the people to retreat ten meters away, and asked the officials to clean up the nearby houses and set up temporary medical facilities.

"Quick! all the wounded and sick are lifted this way!"

Holding back the shock and worry in her heart, she immediately forced herself to calm down and shouted orders.
