After seeing this report, Li Shimin was anxious, and hurriedly called the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to discuss countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you all read this report? Now there are a large number of fever symptoms in Chang'an City, which are difficult to treat, and this disease is extremely contagious, and now it has caused panic, what do you think should be done about this matter? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these patients should be isolated. I heard that this disease is very contagious, and if left unchecked, it can easily cause a catastrophe. ”

The most terrible plagues and plagues, there is no cure at all, and the spread is very fast.

A plague can kill a third or more of a city's population.

Some cities don't even have a single survivor left.

This viral flu – of course, in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty people, was a symptom of the cold.

Although the cold this time is not as good as the plague and the plague, if it is not strictly controlled, I am afraid that it will also cause very serious consequences.

Therefore, the method of the eldest grandson Wuji is also a safe way.

And Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, don't deal with it like this!" Now the people's hearts are already unstable, if they are dealt with like this, I am afraid that it will cause panic among the people, and if it is not appropriate, I am afraid it will cause a big disaster, Your Majesty! ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Du Ruhui, and then asked, "Keming, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Du Ruhui couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the minister supports Xuan Ling's point of view. I believe that the most important thing for us to do is to do a good job of prevention. Patients who are already sick must be housed properly and not allowed to move freely. People who come into contact with the sick must take a preventive decoction to stop the further spread of the disease. ”

Listening to Du Ruhui's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but nod heavily.

"Someone, pass on the imperial doctor!"

Soon, the Imperial Physician was summoned in.

Li Shimin couldn't help asking: "Order, what prevention and control measures do you think should be taken for this cold?" ”

The Imperial Physician couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, Weichen believes that medicinal herbs such as honeysuckle (now honeysuckle), pulsatilla, and diding should be boiled into a soup and taken, which may be able to prevent and treat this disease." ”

"However, there shouldn't be enough medicinal materials in the pharmacy right now. The minister thought that His Majesty could send people to collect these medicinal materials in large quantities. ”

After Li Shimin listened, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay, then do it." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin said to the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui: "You guys immediately arrange it, first, go to the pharmacy to buy these medicinal materials." The second is to send people to the mountains and fields to pick, and then boil these medicinal materials into medicinal juice and distribute them to the people. Also, we must send more manpower, pay attention to stability, and be sure not to cause chaos. ”

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the army defending Chang'an cannot be mobilized. Jin Wuwei's personnel cannot all be dispatched, and some personnel must be left for emergency. As a result, manpower is stretched. ”

According to Li Shimin's arrangement, it is necessary to buy medicinal materials, pick medicinal materials, boil medicines, and maintain order, which requires a large number of people.

However, if the army is not dispatched into Chang'an, the soldiers in Chang'an City will not be enough at all.

And now, even if you want to dispatch, it's too late.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "In this way, all the guards of Qingque, Ke'er, Su'er and the prince will be requisitioned, so that the manpower will be almost enough, right?" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "With these manpower, it should be enough." ”

"Alright, you guys go down and arrange this matter immediately."

……

As soon as Li Su returned to the Liang Palace, he found that Xue Rengui was leaving the palace with a thousand guards, and after asking for a while, he found out that he had been requisitioned.

The reason for the requisition was that because of the spread of the cold, they had to be seconded to maintain order.

Cold spreading? Isn't that a flu?

There is no specific prescription for colds in later generations, let alone in Datang.

Li Su hurriedly inquired about the countermeasures of the Tang Dynasty, and when Li Su heard that the imperial court actually used honeysuckle, pulsatilla and diding and other medicinal herbs to make soup to prevent epidemics and colds, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Honeysuckle is the honeysuckle of later generations, and pulsatilla and ground are medicinal materials that can treat colds, and this recipe cannot be miscalculated.

However, these medicinal materials still have some effect on the common cold, and they are useless at all to deal with viral epidemics, or in other words, they have little effect.

Such protective measures are simply useless work, and at most they can give people a little psychological comfort.

Influenza, on the other hand, can have catastrophic consequences if not handled properly.

Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but get anxious and hurried to the palace.

Soon, when he came to the palace, he found Li Shimin, and after saluting, Li Su hurriedly said: "Father, boiling honeysuckle, pulsatilla and ground ding is not very effective in preventing and treating the epidemic cold in front of you. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Su deeply, and then said: "However, there is always something to be done for the people, and this method is also the best choice at present!" ”

Hearing this, Li Su instantly understood.

The father is not unaware that this method has little effect, but at this time, as long as the royal family has a way to deal with it, it is a psychological comfort for the people.

I guess the effect of this can be achieved, but that's the main thing, right?

Li Su took a deep breath and said, "Father, the son has a solution!" ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Su'er, do you really have a way to completely solve this epidemic cold?" Are you sure? ”

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Li Su couldn't help but hesitate.

If you buy fever reducers from the mall, you will definitely be able to solve the problem.

But judging from the fact that the mall is so dark, he has the little value left to lose, and he can't buy a few medicines at all.

It is impossible to solve the problem by relying on the mall.

But fortunately, Li Su also found another method, which is the pure natural extraction of salicylic acid.

Salicylic acid is also the main ingredient of aspirin, and if patients take it, they will have a good chance of recovery.

However, there is no guarantee that the problem will be resolved.

Because even aspirin can't cure all diseases, it can't solve all problems.

However, at least this method is much more reliable than the method of enduring honeysuckle, pulsatilla, and land.

Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Father, you can!" You immediately order everyone to peel the willow bark and boil the willow bark into juice and drink it, it will definitely work! ”
