Chapter 211: Dealing with the Plague
As soon as Qin Chuan returned to Lou Fu, he immediately called a meeting of his subordinates.
His men had never seen him so nervous, and as soon as they entered the door, they sat quietly in their chairs, not daring to make noise.
When everyone arrived, Qin Chuan cleared his throat, looked around with a solemn face, and said: "You should have heard that among those homeless people from Xingxian County, many of them died of illness, if I guessed correctly, those people got a big head plague, which can also be said to be the plague, this thing has entered Lan County, which means that we are facing a life and death crisis." ”
"If you are not careful, everyone in the entire Jingle Lan County, including us, will die."
As soon as I heard his words, the room suddenly heard the sound of gasps.
Even Luo Daniu, who had always been very aggressive, frowned and was solemn.
Wang Jizong couldn't help but ask, "My lord, why is this plague called the plague?" ”
"Because the disease comes from rats."
Wang Jizong was stunned: "Mouse? ”
Qin Chuan nodded: "Yes, this so-called warm illness is actually a kind of ...... A poisonous insect that is so small that it is not visible to the naked eye, it is highly poisonous, and it originally grew on rats and can be transmitted to humans through fleas. ”
"Under the drought for many years, I am afraid that there will be no rats to eat, so I am afraid that there will be many hungry people who catch rats to eat, and it is easy to contract this plague."
"The fleas on the rats will jump on people, and people who often don't bathe have hundreds or thousands of fleas on their bodies, and once someone gets close, they will jump on another person, so that one by one, the speed is extremely fast, and it is easy to break out in a large area."
"Once you get this kind of plague, if you don't cough up blood, but just have bumps on your body, you will have about 70% of the mortality rate."
"If you cough up blood, you will definitely die, and Hua Tuo will not be able to save him alive."
"Now there are millions of hungry people in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and Hebei and other places are running around, and as long as one of them is infected with the plague, it will spread quickly, and then these hungry people will be taken to other places, and it will not be long before the whole land of China will be covered with corpses."
"Therefore, we must not allow the plague to enter Jingle and Lan County, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Hearing his words, Luo Daniu and the others were speechless in shock.
Wang Jizong's face was also very solemn, because he knew that this kind of big head plague was severe, there were times in the Wanli period and the Apocalypse, and there were no displaced people at that time, so there was no large-scale outbreak, but once a certain place appeared, that place would inevitably be ten rooms and nine empty.
In the past, he had heard that this kind of plague was caused by the entry of evil qi into the body, causing pimples on people's bodies, and even coughing up blood, and after death, evil qi was pervasive, so the hands and feet of the corpse and other parts would be blackened.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a poisonous insect.
Qin Chuan said it, he naturally believed it, and he was also very puzzled why Qin Chuan understood these things, which was completely beyond the scope of the Three Sects and the Ninth Floor, including many other things that Qin Chuan understood, which were beyond his knowledge, it was simply incredible.
He even began to wonder if Qin Chuan was really enlightened by the fox immortals, or if he was really a capable person from the ten continents.
He didn't ask, anyway, just do what Qin Chuan said.
Now that life and death are at stake, he has to use his brain to think about how to survive this crisis.
When he was racking his brains, he heard Qin Chuan say again: "Luo Da Niu, you immediately send someone to inform Lao Huang, let him take care of the newly collected hungry people, all of them have taken a hot bath, clothes, bedding and other things that may hide fleas, all of them have been boiled in a cauldron, and they must be boiled, and it is best to persuade those hungry people to cut their hair and cut off their long hair, because it is easy to hide fleas inside." ”
"Tell him that on the way back to Shanxi, don't collect hungry people anymore, and try to avoid crowded places on the way, don't contact with others, and can't go back to Lou Fu directly after returning to Luliang Mountain, you have to find a few mountains first, divide the hungry people into groups of 50 people, separate them all, stay there for ten days, and confirm that they are not infected before they can enter Lou Fu."
"In addition, you take the first camp to the north and block the road to Xingxian, and Feng Yilong leads Feng Shanying to the west and block the Tong->>
On the road to Yongning Prefecture, Ren Liang blocked the east and south, and then notified Li Dingliang and Liu Youzhu to close the road and the mountain. ”
"If there are hungry people who have crossed the mountains and mountains to vote, they can also be taken in, but they must be carefully checked, but all those who have a fever, strange pimples on their bodies, and even cough up blood will be sent to a place where no one is quarantined for ten days."
"Moreover, all the hungry people who come to cast must have a hot bath, the water should be as hot as possible, and their clothes, bedding and other belongings must also be thrown into the pot and boiled."
"After ten days of quarantine, don't take it lightly, don't let the new hungry people get close to other villagers, and then tell the Guan Di army that you can't get close to those hungry people, you must be three steps away, and the Guan Di army led by Lao Huang and Lynx is also carefully cleaned and quarantined for ten days."
"From tonight, including us, everyone in Jingle County and Lan County must take a bath every day, sprinkle quicklime on their bodies every seven days, and those who are willing to cut their hair short will have their hair cut, and everyone's clothes, bedding, etc. will be boiled, and lime will be sprinkled in the house, or wormwood and dead fleas will be ordered."
"Except for Emperor Guan's army, no one is allowed to leave their respective villages without authorization, tell Li Dingliang and Liu Youzhu, let them temporarily close the city, and all counties and villages will start to fight rats, and they must not directly contact rats, let alone use them to eat meat, and those who violate the order will be beheaded."
"Montenegro must be completely blocked, including Chen Zhan and Yan Sanqi and others, no one is allowed to go up and down the mountain, the iron yard and coal yard are temporarily suspended, except for the people who develop tracks and cement, other miners are all sent to open limestone and burn a large amount of quicklime, which will be used a lot in the future."
"All livestock must also use quicklime to kill fleas, including cats and dogs, and not a single one can be spared."
"Spread all the words I just said, to Taiyuan, Fenzhou, Yongning Prefecture, Lanzhou, Linxian Xingxian, etc., so that people outside know that the big-headed plague is transmitted by rats and fleas, and know how to be vigilant, and it is a life to save one more life."
Qin Chuan said all the methods he could think of in one breath.
After he finished speaking, Wang Jizong, Luo Daniu and others got up one after another, answered with a straight face, and then went out to arrange with a solemn face.
After they were all gone, Qin Chuan called the red-clothed attendant behind him over and ordered in a low voice: "Send some people to Jingle City and Lancheng Pharmacy, buy all the medicinal materials for detoxification, and then go to Taiyuan, Fenyang and other places, buy everything you can, remember to stay away from others on the way, don't let others know about this." ”
"Yes."
The red-clothed squire took the order.
Qin Chuan leaned weakly on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his swollen temples.
He didn't arrange treatment tasks for Wang Jizong and others, no matter how awesome Chinese medicine is, I'm afraid it won't have much effect on the plague.
Infected with pneumonic plague, 100% dead, the elixir could not be saved.
Infected with bubonic plague, the detoxification soup of traditional Chinese medicine may barely have some effect, and coupled with autoimmunity, some people may be able to survive.
Many of the hungry people from Xingxian County must have been infected, and nine out of ten of these people will die.
Qin Chuan didn't dare to let people treat them, mainly for fear of infection, the kind of clothes soaked in wax that the West came up with, and the bird's beak mask like a crow messenger, it was difficult to completely isolate the pervasive fleas.
Let people buy antidotes for the sake of the lynx and the hundreds of Guan Di Army.
In case the lynx is infected, it will have to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
In this era, the only way to deal with the plague is to isolate, isolate the sick and let them die slowly, and isolate the entire hinterland of Luliang Mountain to prevent the virus from invading.
In fact, the reason why the plague spread widely is because fleas on human bodies spread to each other, and in this era too many people do not bathe, and their hair is long, and almost everyone has fleas on their bodies, and that thing can jump on another person from a distance of one or two meters
If everyone loved to be clean and had the conditions and time to take care of themselves, there would certainly not be such a large-scale plague.
Qin Chuan can't control the people outside, he just has to get the people under his rule.
