In Wuling City, the continuous rain seemed to make the empty air moldy, and Han Xuan sat in the city mansion drinking to relieve his boredom. Suddenly, the wine bowl on the wine table shook violently, and Han Xuan felt like the sky was spinning in front of his eyes.

Han Xuanxin said that it was not good, was it not an earthquake? Han Xuan hurriedly called the guards to come in, and said, "It's just an earthquake?" Check it out! ”

Han Xuan sent scouts and scouts to inspect everywhere, and soon someone reported: "The land of Xiaoling is shaking, and the surrounding counties are all affected by it, the houses have collapsed, and thousands of people have died. ”

Han Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I have heard that the natural disasters in the late Han Dynasty for many years, coupled with wars and plagues, the population has decreased sharply. It seems that it is time to strengthen the prevention and control of various disasters. ”

Han Xuan ordered the officials and people of Changsha and Guiyang counties to do a good job in flood prevention, drought prevention, earthquake prevention, etc., and Han Xuan decided to limit the production of wine and save food. Except for liquor made from miscellaneous grains and fruits such as bran and grain, as well as military liquor, it is forbidden to use rice to make liquor.

Han Xuan hoarded grain in the treasury again, and once a disaster came, he would open a warehouse to sell grain at a flat price to prevent some merchants from taking the opportunity to raise the price of rice. Fortunately, Han Xuan has a group of internal affairs talents such as Du Xian, Zhong Xuan, Chen Qun, and Wang Cang, and they have implemented Han Xuan's policies very well.

With the influx of a large number of refugees who suffered from the earthquake into Wuling City, the doctors in Wuling City could not check it, and some people began to cough and get sick with fever.

Han Xuan was walking on the street, and suddenly a refugee fell in front of Han Xuan, Huang Daozhou kicked him and shouted, "What are you doing?" Dare to stand in the way of adults? ”

Han Xuan saw that the man's face was pale, and his lips were chapped and purple, so he hurriedly stopped Huang Daozhou and said, "Don't touch him, hurry up and find a doctor to take a look." ”

Before the doctor could reach the doctor, he had already died, and the doctor took a few steps back in fright when he looked at the corpse on the ground. Han Xuan asked, "What is the disease of this person?" ”

The doctor said, "My lord, this is a plague, and the corpse must be disposed of quickly." ”

When the onlookers heard that it was a plague, Han Xuan comforted everyone: "Don't panic, everyone should open the windows and ventilate the residence frequently after returning home, and once you find anyone with such symptoms, report it to the government immediately." ”

Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and Han Xuan and the two soldiers ordered: "Carry the corpse out of the city for cremation on a plank bed, and you must also cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth, and do not touch the corpse at will." ”

Han Xuan ordered the soldiers to strictly investigate in the city, and once there was a person infected with the plague, it was reported immediately, and after ten days, many of the sergeants and soldiers were infected with the plague. Han Xuan ordered them to be locked in a large room for isolation, but he didn't expect that the spread of the plague could not be controlled, and people in the city were constantly infected.

In just half a month, thousands of people died in the city. Han Xuan summoned Gan Ning and Tai Shici to discuss: "The plague is rampant in Wuling City, and I want to return to Changsha, but I am afraid of bringing back the epidemic." How good is that? ”

Gan Ning said: "The lord should step up the investigation of the soldiers and civilians who have not been infected with the plague and withdraw to Changsha. It is forbidden to accept refugees, the counties are on strict precautions, and there is a doctor Zhang in Changsha, who thinks he will be able to curb the spread of the plague. ”

Han Xuan hesitated: "If you don't accept refugees, you may cause resentment." ”

Tai Shi Ci bowed his hand and said: "The lord should not be burdened by benevolence and righteousness, and he should make a decision immediately." Otherwise, once the plague is allowed to rage in the army, if Liu Du and Liu Biao come to attack, our army will be in danger! ”

Han Xuan had no choice but to follow Gan Ning's words, and hurriedly led the army and civilians to withdraw from Wuling City, and a large number of soldiers and civilians infected with the plague were abandoned in the city, and they could only wait for the plague to devour their lives.

Han Xuan returned to Changsha City, Han Hao opened the city to greet him, and Han Xuan said, "Big brother, quickly close the city gate." ”

Han Hao asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

Han Xuan told him, "Big brother, the plague has broken out. I had to go back and ask my mother and Qiao'er to pay attention to indoor hygiene. ”

Han Xuan hurriedly returned home, Huang Wudie came with two children, and Han Wanqing pounced to hug him. Han Xuan hurriedly flashed to the side and said, "Wanqing, don't get close to Daddy, Daddy may be infected with the plague." I can't infect you! ”

Huang Wudie wanted to come forward, but Han Xuan asked her to stop, but Huang Wu resisted and asked, "Husband, what's going on, why did you get infected with the plague?" ”

Han Xuan said: "It may not be safe in the city recently, you and the children must not go out." Also, the doors and windows at home should be opened frequently, and you, Xing'er, and Wanqing should wash their hands frequently. The servants should also have a strict medical examination, and I will ask Zhang Zhongjing to send a 'doctor' to examine them. ”

Huang Wudie wrote them down one by one and said to him: "Husband, go and let Doctor Zhang take a look, you must also take care of yourself." ”

Han Xuan answered and hurriedly went out and closed the door. Han Xuan came to Zhang Zhongjing's mansion and shouted urgently: "Zhang Zhongjing, Zhang Zhongjing!" ”

"Zhang Ji is here, what is General Right looking for me?" Zhang Zhongjing asked.

Han Xuan pulled out his sleeves, stretched out his wrist and said to him, "You can show me quickly, if I am infected with the plague?" ”

Zhang Zhongjing was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly invited Han Xuan into the inner hall, Zhang Zhongjing gave Han Xuan a pulse and said: "General Right don't worry, you have no other diseases in your body except for that erysipelas." ”

When Han Xuan heard him say this, the big stone in his heart fell, and Han Xuan asked, "Doctor Zhang, there may be a plague lurking in the city, so as not to cause panic, please ask Doctor Zhang to lead the students of the 'hospital' to the city to investigate the sick." ”

Zhang Zhongjing replied: "Solid wishes, the doctor is benevolent, and it is my duty to practice medicine to remove the disease for the people in the city." ”

So Zhang Zhongjing took hundreds of medical students from the "hospital" to practice medicine in the city, and all men and women in the city, young and old, all those who had a cold and cough were given free medical treatment. More and more poor people came, and Han Xuan finally found a lot of people who were infected with the plague, and Han Xuan isolated them, and their clothes and food were specially provided by Han Xuan.

More and more people came to see the doctor, and Han Xuan simply asked Zhang Zhongjing to move the clinic to the lobby of Changsha and openly sit in the lobby, setting a precedent for famous doctors to sit in the lobby, which was widely praised by the people in the surrounding counties.

In order to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing, the common people called the doctors who sat in the pharmacy to treat the disease "sitting doctors", and these doctors also named the pharmacies they opened "×× Tang Pharmacy".

Han Xuan rewarded and supported those who made discoveries in medicine for a while, and medicine was prevalent in Changsha and the surrounding areas, and even many Confucian students came to study medicine.

With the efforts of Han Xuan, Zhang Zhongjing and others, Changsha and other places finally contained the spread of the plague. Han Xuan advocated that the whole people should study medicine, and he also compiled a "cleaning song" with Zhang Zhongjing, not asking everyone to see a doctor, and the most basic medical knowledge should be understood.

For more than half a year, Han Xuan's rule, from 70 years old to 5-year-old children, knew how to pay attention to personal hygiene, and the number of deaths due to various minor illnesses was greatly reduced.

Guangling City, Hua Tuo heard the "cleaning song" sung by Jiangdong children, and was surprised by this Han Xuan. Hua Tuo came to Chen Deng's mansion, saw Chen Deng's pale face, and sighed: "Have you eaten raw fish again recently?" ”

Chen Deng lowered his head in shame, Hua Tuo shook his head and said: "If you don't listen to me, in less than two months, even the gods will not be able to save you." ”

Hua Tuo brushed his sleeves away, and met Chen Wu visiting Chen Deng, Chen Wu saw Hua Tuo's childish face, and asked in surprise: "The old man's body is so tough, and he looks like a teenager, dare to ask the surname Gao?" ”

Hua Tuo replied with a smile: "Old man Hua Tuo is a general?" ”

Chen Wu reported to his home, and Hua Tuo bowed and said: "It turned out to be the righteous brother of the right general, disrespectful and disrespectful." It's a pity that the old man has never met with General You, and he was very surprised to hear the 'cleaning song' sung by Jiangdong children. ”

Chen Wu was stunned on the spot when he heard this, how could he not know about the divine doctor Hua Tuo? Immediately invited Hua Tuo to his home. Hua Tuo said to Chen Wu: "I have a technique, the play of five birds: one is a tiger, two is a deer, three is a bear, four is an ape, and five is a bird. It is also used to remove diseases, and to benefit the hooves and feet, so as to be a guide. The body is unhappy, acting like a bird, sweating happily, because of the powder, the body is light and hungry. He is more than 90 years old, with smart ears and eyes, and strong teeth. I have been bothering the general's mansion for a few days, and I have never given a small gift, and now I will pass on this technique to the general. ”
