Chapter Eighty-Three: Preparations
Ah Chang pondered for a moment, and then said:
"There are a few horses, not many of them, but tomorrow I can let the boss of the cloth shop send another car, I have already told them last time, I will spin and weave cloth for us in advance."
"Then you send someone, divide all the gauze into several parts for a while, bring thin wire, and each part with a finished mask, and send it to your home, if you can make more, this matter is very important."
Ah Chang patted a kid beside him, "Wang Xiaoliu, you understand, take two people, hurry up to cut, and then distribute the fabric." ”
The man hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "Boss Zhou and the steward can rest assured, the small ones will be done immediately, I am familiar with the homes of all the workers, and you can rest assured that this matter will be handed over to me." ”
With that, the man took the key and left.
Desheng was a little anxious and took a few steps forward.
"Master, what are we going to do?"
"Don't worry, your business is more important, first arrange for the production of anti-epidemic drugs later, Ah Chang will take a look at the ledger, whether the warehouse is in stock, if not, let Boss Xue take someone to purchase it tonight, and the surrounding counties will buy as much as you want."
As he spoke, he walked to the table and wrote down a prescription with a pen, Ma Lingshan stood behind him and read it, his eyes widening.
"Long pepper, tantric monk, dendrobium, bee venom, citrus leaves, yellow roots, three white grasses, qin bark, camphor leaves, swallow's tail, shaozi, green leaf dan, japonica nu, chicory, senna, celandine, these are all ordinary medicines, can really prevent and control epidemics?"
Zhou Heng nodded, "This medicine is boiled, put it in a bottle, half a bottle with a large bucket of water, and spray it in a densely populated place, which can kill mosquitoes and flies, reduce the spread of germs and epidemics, and all displaced people should be disinfected every day and drink boiling water, so there will be no such a big problem, this is the prevention of epidemic prevention." ”
Mingyu had already run over with the account book, compared all the medicinal materials, and wrote the number of each variety next to the recipe listed by Zhou Heng.
Although it is not a lot, it is also a very considerable amount, you must know that the shopkeeper Huang has stored a batch of goods, and Zhou Heng has stored another batch of goods in the previous period, which are very large numbers.
Only Sanbaicao and Tantric monks were a little less, and Mingyu hurriedly only showed them to Zhou Heng.
"The purchase price of this Sanbaicao was too expensive at that time, so the quantity purchased was small, and this should not be difficult to buy, and this tantric monk originally opened an order to purchase, but he didn't purchase it."
Zhou Heng frowned slightly, that is to say, there are very few around this tantric monk?
Boss Xue leaned over and asked Mingyu:
"Show me, what is that tantra?"
Without Zhou Heng's instructions, Qu Ziping had already found the Tantra monk quickly, such a strange name, and the appearance was also very strange, it was not any herb or rhizome, it was a piece of black hard lump, flat and flat, with some shiny flashes in the middle.
Boss Xue looked surprised, "This is also medicine?" ”
Qu Ziping nodded, glanced at Zhou Heng, and motioned to Boss Xue not to ask more, Zhou Heng was in a hurry, Boss Xue grabbed his hair, spread his hand and said:
"What's the hurry, I'll set up a car now, go directly to Qihe County, there is a medicinal herb market, I often pass by there when I go to sell game, it seems that the medicinal materials are very complete, not a small fight, each medicinal material is pulled into a car."
Zhou Heng frowned slightly, "Qihe County, do you have to go far after Jiyang County?" ”
"It's not far, let's go now, and we can get there at dawn if it's fast."
Boss Xue didn't care and patted Mingyu on the shoulder.
"Go and bring your brother ten steamed cakes, fill them with two pots of water, and I'll go."
Zhou Heng raised his chin towards Ming Yu, "Give him fifty taels of silver, take a sample of the tantric monk, just buy it, see if there is horse meat in the kitchen, cut two catties for him, and then let the kitchen cook quickly, take out all the meat, and stew it for the handyman in the backyard tonight." ”
Boss Xue had a beautiful smile on his face, "This is good, I can arrive this night if I have meat, I will rush back when I buy something, and I will not delay anything, by the way, can I go out of this city gate?" ”
Zhou Heng nodded, "Take a trip to the Yamen, at such a critical moment, let's do something special, and Lord Liu will help deal with it." ”
Boss Xue dragged Mingyu away, and when Ah Chang saw this, he quickly glanced at the prescription, and the various dosages on it were very clear, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhou Heng.
"Master, what are the requirements for this medicine?"
Zhou Heng shook his head, "All medicines are finely powdered, the finest and finest powder, and then boiled with water one to ten, the supernatant is taken, and the residue is bagged, and then it is left to be sprinkled at the city gate or on densely populated streets, and the effect is the same." ”
Ah Chang nodded, "It's okay to put it in our porcelain bottle of alcohol, right?" ”
"Yes, just separate it from the alcohol, and then let Mingyu and them write some notes on it overnight, and spray the disinfectant one to one hundred with water, which is edible. It was then stamped with the seal of the Rejuvenation Hall. ”
Zhou Heng's words, several team leaders and Ah Chang at the scene heard it very clearly, the grinding of this medicinal powder is not too simple, and there is no special skill for the rest of the boiling, and several people were ordered to hurry to the backyard.
Ma Lingshan Desheng and Sanshun rushed to Zhou Heng's approach, and the three of them have not yet been arranged.
looked at the three people, and Qu Ziping, who was standing on the side, waved his hand at him and said:
"Let's come together, I'll tell you now, the method and division of labor of epidemic prevention, and knowing the way of the epidemic, we can control the disaster well, let these displaced people save their lives, and avoid the crisis in Qingping County."
Ma Lingshan nodded, "Yes, six years ago, these homeless people rushed to the city to rob everywhere, after all, they are hungry, no food, people's eyes are green, and they still care about what the king's law is, the medical hall was spared at that time, but the plague also broke out in the city, and one hundred and ten people died. ”
Zhou Heng shrank his neck in fright, he was exiled or his wife and children were young, so is he a family member who worships like this?
Shaking his head, it seems that the resettlement of the victims and the epidemic prevention work must really be done wholeheartedly.
Otherwise, Liu Renli will be held accountable, and there is no need to talk about himself, Liu Xiuer will inevitably suffer.
"Okay, don't say much else, I'll talk about the key points of epidemic prevention now, the plague after the flood, there are mainly several aspects, one is that the river water backs up and pollutes the water source, Qingping County is relatively high, and there are two springs in the city, these two can also be drunk with confidence, but the wells of ordinary people's homes are very low and easy to be polluted, so the first thing to do is to let the victims and people in the city drink clean boiling water, which cuts off the source of infection."
As Zhou Heng spoke, several people on his side worked hard to write and recorded the key points in their booklets.
Zhou Heng continued: "The second is plague and malaria, which are the two important epidemics after the floods, and most of their transmission is due to the mass death of people and livestock, and the viruses carried by mosquitoes, flies and rats after decay and deterioration, and spread in human gathering areas. ”
Desheng trembled, the pen in his hand almost fell, he covered his mouth and retched, his mind was full of rats, mosquitoes and flies gnawing the corpse, Zhou Heng coughed.
"Don't make up the picture, the problem is known, so how to remedy it, do you know?"
Sanshun thought about it and said, "The whole city catches rats? ”
Desheng held back his nausea and said:
"Poison and kill rats."
Ma Lingshan shook his head, "Poisoning is unrealistic, medicine trapping generally uses grain mixed with poison, and the current victims are all hungry and red-eyed people, not to mention the food that has been infected with poison, even the bark and grass roots have been eaten clean by them, this will not work." ”
Zhou Heng didn't speak, and looked at a few people, not all problems have to be solved by themselves, otherwise it will be detrimental to their development, and now we have to rely on everyone's wisdom to find a way.
At this time, Qu Ziping, who was lying in the corner of the table, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Heng.
"What if you put these poisoned baits in a cage or some small place, like a hunting trap, so that people will not be able to touch them, and you will not have to worry about being poisoned?"
