Shen Yuniang took the sketch of the mask drawn by Guo Zhiyuan and was stunned when she saw it, what kind of thing is this? Guo Zhiyuan actually ordered to stop the production of cheongsam, and sew such a strange thing with all his might, you must know that the cheongsam is in short supply now, and Guo Zhiyuan will lose a lot of money if he stops producing for a day, so he hesitated a little and said: "My lord, it is easy to sew this thing, but it is ......."

Guo Zhiyuan interrupted Shen Yuniang's words without waiting for her to finish, and said in an unquestionable tone: "You don't need to say it, this thing is called a mask, you immediately sew the mask with all your might, the sooner the better, the more the better, this is a matter of human life!" ……”

Shen Yuniang saw that Guo Zhiyuan said seriously, although she was still confused, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked the female workers to stop their work and start sewing the "mask" Guo Zhiyuan said, this mask is very simple to sew, in addition to the cotton cloth disinfection is a little troublesome, you have to boil it with boiling water first, then dry it, and then sandwich a layer of cotton in the middle, and then sew the belt, and in less than an hour, dozens of samples were made.

Guo Zhiyuan took a mask and put it on himself, except for feeling a little depressed, he felt good, so he nodded and said to Shen Yuniang: "Yes, just continue to work overtime and sew like this, the white cotton and cotton are not enough, you can find Mr. Xu to find a way, I want 10,000 such masks within three days!" After speaking, he took the dozens of mask samples and ran to Shen Lingyu in a hurry.

When he found Shen Lingyu again, because Guo Zhiyuan was wearing a mask, he didn't recognize it at once, and he was startled, but Guo Zhiyuan took out a mask and stuffed it into his hand, and couldn't wait to say: "Doctor Shen, put it on and try it!" ……”

Shen Lingyu took the mask and put it on with some hesitation, tried it, took it off again, and said with some confusion: "This is the secret weapon that adults say?" Just a few pieces of cloth can reduce the spread of pestilence? Childe, please forgive the villain for being presumptuous, the villain really can't see how this thing can have such a magical effect! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan had already guessed that Shen Lingyu would react like this, but he also knew that it was difficult for Shen Lingyu to understand why the mask could have such a great effect, because people in this era did not know the existence of bacteria at all, so he did not explain, and said: "Doctor Shen, I don't know how to explain to you for a while, this thing is called a mask, don't look at it as just a gadget, but it has a great effect, please believe me, as long as you do what I say, you will definitely be able to stop the spread of the plague!" So you must remember to wear a mask when you come into contact with a sick person, not only for you, but for all people who come into contact with the sick person! When enough masks are produced in the garment workshop, the patients will wear them too, and strive to make everyone wear masks! ……”

Although Shen Lingyu still couldn't understand it, he didn't ask anymore after listening to Guo Zhiyuan's solemn words, following Guo Zhiyuan for so long, the people in their team had a great sense of trust in Guo Zhiyuan, so they took the mask samples Guo Zhiyuan took and distributed them to his apprentices, so that they all wore them.

The first batch of 1,000 masks was quickly produced, and Guo Zhiyuan gave priority to his team backbone, regimental training township soldiers, county officials, monks, and volunteers brought by Master Daguan, all of whom often had to deal with patients.

Only Liu Xianguang resolutely didn't dare to wear it, and he also reprimanded Guo Zhiyuan: "What kind of body does the husband have to stand up to the sky and cover his face?!" You actually say that this mask can prevent the spread of the plague? Are you a three-year-old child? You tell the sky and the official doesn't believe it! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan had already figured out Liu Guangxian's temper, and laughed and said: "My lord, why don't we make a bet, you put on this mask, we are limited to ten days, if there is no effect after ten days, the lower officials will be at the disposal of the adults, if the effect is seen after ten days, the adults will agree to me a request......"

Liu Xianguang's temper was naturally unprovoked, and when he heard it, he slapped his thigh hard and said, "Okay!" This official has never gambled, but today he will make an exception and make a bet with you! ……”

With the continuous production of masks, Guo Zhiyuan also hurriedly arranged for people to distribute the masks, and for a while, the entire Gutian County was wearing masks, and everyone felt a little uncomfortable at first, but because Guo Zhiyuan gave a strict order, if he did not wear a mask on the road and was encountered by the county government officials, he would be punished, so he put them on.

At the same time, Guo Zhiyuan also summed up some of the experience of modern prevention and control of infectious diseases applicable to this era, such as spraying white vinegar and smoking wormwood to disinfect and other measures to teach the people, and strictly implementing disinfection measures in the isolation area, personnel must change their clothes when entering and leaving the isolation area, and the changed clothes must be scalded with boiling water.

This series of measures, especially the use of masks, effectively blocked the way of infection of the plague, and the effect soon appeared, before Guo Zhiyuan and Liu Guangxian agreed on the ten-day period, starting from the fifth day, the number of new infectious disease patients per day began to decline significantly, from the original day of dozens of new infectious disease patients to more than a dozen, and on the sixth day, the daily new infectious disease patients became single digits, and by the tenth day, there was zero infection for the first time!

Shen Lingyu was ecstatic and came to Guo Zhiyuan and said in surprise: "Childe, it's amazing!" Since wearing your mask, the spread of the plague has really been controlled, and not a single infected patient has appeared today! ……”

It happened that Liu Guangxian was also there, Guo Zhiyuan turned his head to Liu Guangxian with some smugness and smiled: "Lord Liu, you heard it, you lost our bet!" ……”

Liu Guangxian also felt very incredible about this, but with his stubborn character, it was naturally not so easy to admit that he had lost, and said stiffly: "Eh, this may be a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, so let's extend it for another three days, if there are still no new infectious diseases in another three days, then the official will admit that you have won!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan can now be sure that this plague is transmitted through the air respiratory tract, so he is naturally full of confidence, and laughed and said: "Don't say three days, it can be extended for another ten days!" ……”

And the result was just as Guo Zhiyuan expected, there were no new infectious diseases for the next three consecutive days, and now Liu Guangxian was not convinced and had to accept it, but he did not feel annoyed because he lost the bet, but was very excited, because since it has been confirmed that masks have such a miraculous effect on preventing the spread of the plague, then the plague that swept most of Fujian is hopeful to be controlled, and the people are saved!
