Chapter 224: There is no way to serve the country

After focusing on the key points of prevention and control, Qiu Chen discussed with Guo Jingquan the prescription for treating the epidemic. Guo Jingquan did not hide his secrets, and took out several prescriptions that he had synthesized from his own inquiries about the medical books of various generations, and discussed them with Qiu Chen.

After Qiu Chen read it, he found that several of Guo Jingquan's prescriptions were actually good, and they all took care of sterilization and detoxification. The two of them decided on a formula after considering the most difficult things, and then Qiu Chen proposed a crucial treatment aid to Guo Jingquan, that is, timely and sufficient rehydration. Preferably sugar brine, or light brine. Regardless of the type of cholera, the main characteristic of the disease is severe vomiting and diarrhea, and the most common cause of death is also due to dehydration caused by severe dehydration, and the accumulation of toxic substances caused by dehydration, which leads to organ damage and failure. Under this principle of treatment, it is very important to replenish body fluids in a timely and adequate manner, and it can be said that it is as important as the role of drug treatment.

Guo Jingquan is very satisfied with the harvest of coming to the Lin family this time, Qiu Chen's prevention and control measures to prevent diseases from entering the mouth' and the method of supplementing a large amount of light salt water, he has never heard of anyone who has used it, and there is no record in medical books and ancient books, but after Qiu Chen's careful analysis, Guo Jingquan felt refreshed and suddenly enlightened, as if some uncertainties in the treatment of epidemic diseases were suddenly supplemented and guaranteed.

Guo Jingquan was very resolute in doing things, asked for a pen and paper on the spot, wrote down the prescriptions and measures for prevention and control, adjuvant treatment and other measures that he and Qiu Chen had determined one by one, and then showed them to Qiu Chen for checking.

Seeing that Qiu Chen read it carefully and nodded in confirmation, Guo Jingquan smiled and handed over the pen: "You have a name!" ”

Qiu Chen was stunned, and then said with a smile: "This matter is led by my uncle, and Begonia has just done a little bit of effort...... Or should the uncle sign it first. ”

Guo Jingquan shook his head and smiled: "You don't have to be too humble, everything recorded here is based on you, there is no doubt about this, the old man can put a name on the back with a thick face, it is already stained with your light." ”

Hearing him say this, Qiu Chen secretly thought to himself, this recipe is handed over, but it is not necessarily a credit, if one is not done well, it may attract disaster. With the signature in the first place, the responsibility is naturally heavy.

Thinking about it like this, Qiu Chen no longer shirked, took the brush, and neatly dropped his name on the paper: Yang Haitang.

Guo Jingquan looked at the three words that Qiu Chen fell, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. This woman looks gentle and supple, and the things she does are often unexpected, and when you think about it, it is reasonable.

After the two discussed, it was past noon, Qiu Chen asked Guo Jingquan to dine, but Guo Jingquan refused, "This matter is very important, there can be no delay for a moment, the old man has to hand over this fold as soon as possible......"

Seeing Qiu Chen's amazement, Guo Jingquan said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, when this matter passes, the old man will definitely come over and celebrate together!" ”

Qiu Chen was relieved when he said this, and agreed with a smile: "Then it's decided!" ”

Seeing off Guo Jingquan, Qiu Chen had lunch. In the place she didn't see, Lin Xu, Qin Yong and Shen Hu at home were secretly relieved.

After lunch, Qiu Chen took his family to start tidying up the idle houses in the backyard, not for anything else, because Guo Jingquan Guo made an appointment with Qiu Chen before leaving, and after dark in the evening, he sent grain to the Lin family, the grain and rice were all of the highest quality, and when the grain price was rising, it was sold to the Lin family at a parity price of 5,000 stones, each stone was about 120 catties according to the conversion ratio of later generations, and 5,000 stones were 600,000 catties of grain. Of course, Guo Jingquan also approved with Qiu Chen, took out 2,000 stones to relieve the displaced people, and built a porridge shed in the east of the city early in the morning, led by the Guo family, and each family built their own porridge shed in turn, prepared their own grain, rice, firewood, and sent people to cook porridge and distribute it.

When the Lin family entered the courtyard three times, there were a total of more than a dozen people living in it, and the empty house was not worried, and everyone worked together to quickly clean up a few warehouses. Daxing took Shunzi and Erkui to build the bottom of the stack of grain with green bricks, and laid wooden planks on it, and did a good job of moisture isolation measures, and the afternoon passed busily.

As expected, if Master Guo made an appointment, not long after the sun set, a carriage full of grain and rice came, but he did not walk from Guanmaoer Hutong, but went around to the door of Erkui's house and stopped.

Lin Xu and Lin Xianniang were busy with them, but Lin Xianniang and Jia were directly pushed to rest by Qiu Chen. Early the next morning, they had to get up early to prepare snacks and open a shop, and they couldn't stay up at night because they didn't have a good rest.

Lin Xu didn't listen to Qiu Chen's arrangement, and insisted on staying to arrange for the unloading of grain, and let Qiu Chen go back to his room to rest. Looking at the young man who was half a head taller than himself, Qiu Chen was relieved, so he let it go and handed it to him, and went back to his room to sleep for two hours. Just after the child, he got up and wrapped his cloak and went to the backyard to replace Lin Xu to rest.

Qiu Chen smoked and looked at a few bags of rice and wheat, all of which were full of grains, without moldy grains or anything like that, it was really like what Master Guo said was high-quality rice grain, and it could be seen from this that Master Guo was definitely a person who could afford to put it down, and his hands were big and decisive, which was by no means comparable to ordinary people.

Each carriage can pull up to five or six hundred catties of grain, and 600,000 catties of grain, which is 6,000 bags according to one hundred catties per bag. According to the calculation of six bags per cart and 30 carts, it would have to be transported more than 30 times, and the result was that the grain was transported overnight, and the grain was not finished until the sky was getting brighter.

While the hour was still early, Qiu Chen hurriedly beckoned her family members who had been tired all night to go back to the room to rest, and she beckoned Chen to hurry up and prepare breakfast. After dawn, Daxing and Shunzi were going to take Jialiang, Shunzi's family, and Chen to set up a porridge shed in the east of the city.

Lin Xu also got up and came over to ask for help, and wanted to follow him to the porridge shed in the east of the city.

Because it was the first day to set up a porridge shed, it was inevitable that there would be some coordination and scheduling that required a person in charge, Qiu Chen originally thought that she would go with her after dinner, but when she saw Lin Xu asking for help, she simply let it go and handed it over to him. If a teenager wants to achieve something, it is not enough to just study hard, it is also essential to be familiar with the world and economy, anyway, there are Daxing and others to follow, and the Guo family takes the lead in maintenance, so let Lin Xu follow to exercise and exercise, and it is also a good opportunity to know some world affairs and other people's sufferings.

So he packed up, called Daxing up for breakfast, and handed it over to Lin Xu to take with him.

After the group left, Chunxiang came in with hot water: "Madam, you have stayed up for half a night, wash your face and rest!" ”

Qiu Chen also felt tired, nodded and washed her hands and face, and Chunxiang spread her hair and combed her hair, and went to bed to rest.

It's just that with her head next to the pillow, she suddenly remembered that now there is a lodging outside the city, and no one knows if there will be cholera bacteria spreading in the road, Lin Xu and a few people in the family went to set up a porridge shed to give porridge, in case there is a mistake......

As soon as he thought of this, where could he still sleep, he got up by himself, beckoned Chunxiang to pull his hair, changed into a neat riding outfit, found a few new cotton cloths, and called Qin Yong and Shen Hu to ride out of the door and go straight to the east city gate.

The Guo family acted early, and there were enough people, and they had already set up a dozen porridge sheds next to the city wall, and each shed had a temporary stove and two cauldrons of the sea. And looking at the two big iron pots arranged by the Guo family, I also know that the two pots take turns to boil porridge, and I am not afraid that there are too many homeless people outside, and those who boil porridge can't catch up.

When Qiu Chen arrived outside the city, the Chen family and Shunzi's family had already lit a fire to boil porridge, next to Yuliang sat under the stove and burned the fire, Daxing and Lin Xu beckoned the homeless people with a hot and happy face to wait in line, but they didn't see Shunzi and Jialiang, and only after asking did they know that for safety, the porridge shed was erected at the root of the city wall on the side of the city gate, in case the homeless people had any riots, and there could also be soldiers guarding the city to protect one or two. With this benefit, it is far away from the water source, even the nearest Luo River is nearly two miles away, and Junzi and Jialiang went to the river to get water.

This is not important, Qiu Chen took out the handkerchief he brought first, and each person issued one to cover his mouth, which was temporarily used as a mask. And repeatedly instructed Lin Xu and others to pay attention to their own family drinking water and food, and when the meal is reached, the family will deliver it, and you must pay attention to the cleanliness of drinking water and food.

Everyone agreed, Qiu Chen saw the homeless people lining up in a long line, looking at the cauldron of porridge with expectant faces, some supporting the elderly, and some still holding children in their arms, looking at the children in the arms of adults...... She had seen that situation at the spring party in Qingshui Town, and now that she sees it again, she still feels that she can't bear to witness it.

Compared with other people's porridge sheds, the Lin family's porridge shed has the least number of people, and in addition, they were busy all night last night, at this time, several people in the Lin family are ugly and tired.

Looking at this situation, Qiu Chen secretly summed up in his heart, called Lin Xu aside, and discussed with him in a low voice: "Second brother, you see that our family is not as good as other people's families, just a few people, and it is not so quick to transfer people from the side temporarily...... Look at these homeless people, although they are hungry, they can make a fire and divide porridge. In addition, someone has to do the work of pulling water and chopping wood...... It's better for us to find a few people from the homeless people to come over and do these jobs, and we will pay wages according to the work, and we don't need more, fifty wen a day, and three meals...... What do you think? ”

Lin Xu's eyes blinked, and his tired pale face gradually became flushed with excitement: "What my sister-in-law said is very much, 'It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish', this method allows them to support themselves, just like 'teach people to fish', it is really good." ”

"Then leave it to the second brother to arrange!" Qiu Chen smiled and said, "You don't have to do everything yourself, just tell Daxing to do it, he knows these things very well." ”

Lin Xu only felt that his sister-in-law's words were reasonable, and agreed repeatedly, and Xing Chongchong went to Daxing to discuss the arrangement.

Qiu Chen was not in a hurry to leave, she came to the porridge shed, lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the porridge in the pot, and saw that almost half of the rice was in the pot of water. Both the Shunzi family and the Chen family agreed to come down.

In front of the shed, Daxing has announced to the homeless people the selection of people to work, and the homeless people in the queue are very excited, most of these people are also simple farmers, and they were forced to flee their homes after being flooded, in order to beg for their lives. If you can eat soup soup porridge in line, you can be half full, and you will not die of hunger, but you can find a job, but you can still get paid for your meal. Since people are in charge of the food, then they can save all their wages, and when the water recedes in the future, they can also bring some money home...... The house has really been washed with water, and it is better to bring some money home and rebuild the home.

Soon, five or six men who looked to be in good health came out of the team, followed by seven or eight more who came out one after another, and these who came out later were obviously much thinner, two were even forty or fifty years old and twelve or thirteen years old.

Daxing Zhilu said, looking for these people to work, but the lady discussed with the second master, and the way to help these homeless people in disguise was not to dislike the large number of people, but only asked the names and hometowns of these people one by one, and began to assign work in an orderly manner.

After the work was assigned here, Junzi and Jialiang also pulled a cart of water and turned it back, Daxing watched the water unloaded, and first sent Junzi and Jialiang into the city to buy some buckets and flattens, as well as ropes and firewood knives. Qiu Chen hurriedly called Shunzi and asked him to buy some steamed buns, pickles, and salt on the way, and then buy a few stoneware bowls to come back......

As he spoke, he felt that there were too many items to buy, so he simply followed the car into the city in person. In less than half an hour, Qiu Chen followed Shunzi and pulled a large cart of things back.

The bucket was handed over to a few men with relatively sturdy bodies, and they were asked to go to the Luohe River to fetch water for porridge. The knives and ropes were given to the weaker men and told to chop wood. The remaining three were relatively old and frail, so Qiu Chen asked people to set up a pot next to the shed, and asked them to boil light salt water for the homeless people to drink. And before these people took over the work of the guys, Qiu Chen asked each of them to divide two steamed buns and a slice of pickles, and then went to work after eating. Of course, these people were asked to wash their hands before eating, and for the first time they used soap.

The teenage boy washed his hands, got two steamed buns, cried without waiting for eating, sobbed and said to Daxing, can you send the steamed buns to his grandfather, and he will come back to work.

Daxing glanced at Qiu Chen, saw her nodding, and immediately agreed.

The kid was also a clever man, knelt down and kowtowed to Qiu Chen, hurriedly ran out of the crowd with two steamed buns, and ran to a broken shed not far away.

Qiu Chen made a look, Shen Hu followed quietly, and turned back to report to Qiu Chen in a moment, the child's grandfather was just hungry and had no symptoms. Qiu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around and seeing that the first pot of porridge had been boiled, Lin Xu rolled up his sleeves, Daxing took a spoon, and stood in front of the cauldron together, with several stacks of bowls on the pot table, ready to start the porridge.

After watching for half an hour on the side, Qiu Chen saw that Lin Xu and Daxing soup porridge were very orderly, and each homeless person was full of a bowl of thick rice porridge, plus a piece of pickles and a pair of chopsticks.

Some homeless people took the porridge bowl, and after walking a few steps, they took the bowl and opened it in their mouths, and the rice porridge that had just been scooped out of the pot was hot, but they didn't seem to feel it at all, so they only knew that they drank it with their necks straight...... Some hurriedly walked back with a bowl of porridge, and there were obviously hungry relatives who couldn't move.

Those temporarily recruited homeless people also had the strength to eat steamed buns, and those who carried water and chopped wood also brought firewood knives and ropes to go, and they seemed to be very diligent. Qiu Chen gradually relieved himself and instructed Lin Xu and the others to pay attention to hygiene, and then Qin Yong and Shen Hu escorted them back to the city.

Back at home, Qiu Chen didn't care about resting, and took Chunxiang to make lunch, and Shen Hu escorted Chunxiang out of the city to deliver food, so she hurriedly ate some lunch, washed up a little, climbed onto the kang and fell asleep.

After three days of porridge, the displaced people in the east of Anyang City were satisfied. After the Lin family hired people from the displaced people to work, more than a dozen other large households also followed suit, carrying water and chopping firewood, followed by the Guo family, and took the silver money out, and built dozens of simple sheds with green bricks and wood in the open space outside the city for the displaced people to take shelter. Gradually, the displaced people in the east of the city settled down, except for some of the old, weak, sick and disabled who were unable to support themselves and wait for the daily soup kitchen, a large part of the other displaced people found temporary work, work, and food, and these people's emotions gradually settled down, and some families even cleaned up in simple sheds, and had a bit of a situation to live.

But the good times didn't last long, the displaced people in Anyang Mansion settled properly, the news of food and accommodation spread out, and the displaced people from the surrounding prefectures and counties flocked to Anyang, and the initial sheds were soon insufficient, and more than a dozen porridge sheds still gave porridge every day, but more than a dozen large households in the city gradually felt the pressure. There are too many people, and the consumption of rice and grain is too great, and if this continues, the grain and rice prepared by the previous families will surely run out soon.

What worries Qiu Chen, who is paying close attention to the situation of the displaced people, is that with the influx of displaced people, the displaced people who rushed to Anyang are not only from the surrounding prefectures and counties, but also those who have fled all the way from the south...... These people are very likely to be carriers of cholera germs!

Nowadays, there are more and more displaced people in the gathering places outside the East City Gate day by day, and once there is an outbreak, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Qiu Chen was restless at home, pondering back and forth, and he had no ability to stop the homeless people from flocking in. After worrying for a day or two, Qiu Chen couldn't help it, and rushed directly to Guo's mansion to ask to see Master Guo.

The plan for the prevention and control of 'cholera' has been taken away by Mr. Guo for a few days, and when he left, he was so anxious that he refused to delay for a moment, it has been a few days, why is there no news? Could it be that Master Guo doesn't know the situation outside the east gate of Ludao?

Qiu Chen rushed to Guo's mansion, but happened to meet Master Guo coming back from outside, and the two compartments actually happened to meet outside Guo's mansion.

However, as soon as he saw Master Guo Jingquan Guo, Qiu Chen couldn't help but be startled. This old man Guo attaches great importance to appearance, I have seen it a few times before, he is always neatly dressed, his hair is not messy, even the accessories on his body, and the folding fan in his hand are well matched, which is like today, his cheeks are haggard and dark yellow, his eye sockets are deep, and there are some bloodshots in his eyes, and his originally upright and elegant figure is obviously rickety, and when he saw Qiu Chen, his eyes were red with excitement, and he shook his head again and again...... That's it, that's it, it's enough for the old man to live to this age, so he simply went to Yishui County...... Hehe, if you don't want to use my formula, then I'll just try it myself! ……”
