Chapter 182: Cause and Effect Fighting the plague, Bai Fan went north again
In Zhongnan Academy, Sun Simiao urgently found Bai Fan!
"What do you say? Pestilence? A plague in the north?
How can it be? It's still winter, the weather is cold, and bacteria grow slowly, how can there be a plague? Bai Fan asked puzzled.
Sun Simiao has studied the medical books in the library for a year, so he also knows a little about bacteria, "Senior brother, it's true!" This is the news from the northern Daomen, the north has a bad snow disaster this year, and many cattle and sheep have frozen to death, and in the past few days, we have somehow seen cattle and sheep in the north of Datang have died of disease, and no one has been infected for the time being, but it is very dangerous!
Moreover, the occurrence of plague is not directly related to temperature, Zhang Zhongjing of the Han Dynasty said in "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" that typhoid fever does not only refer to external fever, but also includes severe infectious diseases! ”
Bai Fan then remembered this, Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty said in the preface of his book "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "The Yu clan has many Su and two hundred to Yu." Since the Jian'an era (196 A.D.), there have been two thirds of its deaths, and seven out of ten have typhoid fever. Feeling the loss of the past, the wounded and the dead can not be saved, but to seek the ancient teachings diligently and learn from all sides. ……”
The gist of this passage is that of two-thirds of the deceased in Zhang Zhongjing's family, seven-tenths died of typhoid fever, so he diligently sought ancient teachings, learned from others, and finally achieved a generation of medical saints to leave a masterpiece of good prescriptions!
"Why doesn't the court know about this?" Bai Fan asked.
"Lao Dao is here for this, from the time the message was sent from the north to the time we received it, it has been almost ten days, and the disease is coming, and I don't know what the situation is over there, so Lao Dao has to rush over first!
The imperial court is concerned about the snow disaster and food, and no one may pay attention to these problems, besides, the plague usually occurs in winter and is a matter of the grassland, but this year the grassland is surprisingly quiet!
Lao Dao wants to ask you to go to the imperial court to remind His Majesty to pay attention to this matter, I will go over first, in case there is really a plague, you are here to prepare logistics, such a matter of life, careless! Sun Simiao said solemnly.
Bai Fan bowed, "Senior Brother Sun is heart-wrenching, and the younger brother should do his best to help, if there is something in the north, please inform the younger brother immediately, the younger brother is also a person in the medical Tao, and he will definitely help one or two!" ”
Bai Fan, who had just stabilized his business and returned to the academy without a few days of rest, once again returned to the Hou Mansion in Chang'an City with his family!
Without delay, he immediately entered the palace!
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report!"
In the political hall, Li Er was discussing the military aircraft with several confidants, and he didn't care when he was interrupted by Bai Fan's request to see him, after all, Bai Fan was not an outsider, although he was not a courtier, but what he did was not an ordinary thing!
"What's the matter? Go ahead! It just so happens that today we are discussing the issue of doing wool business with Jieli in the coming year, and you will also be a staff member later! ”
Bai Fan said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I don't know if there is news from the north?"
Just now, Senior Brother Sun Simiao said that the North Tunnel Gate had discovered the signs of the plague!
In the northern edge of the Tang Dynasty, there was an inexplicable death of cattle and sheep, so it was very dangerous, Senior Brother Sun had rushed over urgently, and the minister came to report the matter! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji stood up suddenly, "Is Da Lang's words true?" Is it really a plague? ”
For a while, the atmosphere in the entire council hall was tense!
"I don't know yet, it's been ten days since the news came out!
It is only said that cattle and sheep died of illness for no reason, and no situation of the people being found to be sick has been found! Bai Fan replied.
The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand and said, "Dalang, you don't know that you don't raise livestock, and a large number of livestock are dying of disease for no reason, which is the precursor to the outbreak of the plague!"
If it weren't for the careless handling of corpses on the battlefield, the direct outbreak of human plagues, other kinds of plagues often start with livestock, in the face of such a situation, livestock corpses can only be burned or landfilled, and if they are not handled well and cannot be controlled, there will be the possibility of human diseases! ”
Everyone heard the seriousness of this matter, and Li Er shouted, "Come on, quickly send someone to the north to investigate, is there any abnormal situation of people and animals getting sick?" ”
The chamberlain Lao Gao hurriedly went out to make arrangements, but after a while, he came back in a panic, "Your Majesty, the Northland is urgent!" Eight hundred miles expedited! ”
Bai Fanxin said, it's over, what are you afraid of!
Coming in with Lao Gao were two Red Feather Messengers!
"Your Majesty, Shengzhou has an urgent report, there is a plague in the north, first the livestock died, and now someone is sick!"
"Your Majesty, Yunzhou, Yunzhou Emergency, like Shengzhou, there is a plague!"
Bai Fanxin said, poor Yunzhou, next to the grassland Turks, there are all kinds of hardships and bad luck!
Li Er quickly opened the secret report, and after reading it, he sat back in a chair weakly!
How could this be, after everyone read the secret report, questions flashed in their hearts!
Bai Fan took the secret letter, and after reading it, he realized that this was all a ghost of the grassland Jieli, he threw all the sick and dead livestock to the border of the Tang Dynasty, and also drove the weak old and weak here to fend for themselves!
Datang was defenseless at first, and in order to survive, the dying and struggling old and weak actually sold the sick and dead livestock as meat, and the people were greedy for small profits, which finally led to the spread of the plague!
When the local defender general found out, he immediately ordered the arrest of these people, and after some torture, he learned that the truth of the matter was still related to Datang!
Li Er didn't expect that his plan to calculate the Turks would force Jieliyu to die and take out such a lifeless thing to harm Datang, and he didn't know what to say for a while, could he still do something wrong?
"Your Majesty, the most important thing is disaster relief at the moment, while the plague has not spread significantly, we must wipe it out in the Northland, now the climate is cold and good, the speed of the plague spread is relatively slow, once it is delayed to the beginning of spring, the consequences are unimaginable!" Bai Fan opened his mouth to break the silence!
The ministers seconded the proposal!
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the best plan for the plague to strike?"
Bai Fan was the first to speak, and he didn't care about any seniority at this time, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to treat the plague, but it needs the cooperation of the imperial court's decree, just like the previous emergency plan for drought fighting, this time it is the epidemic prevention plan sorted out by the minister!" ”
Fang Xuanling praised, "Good boy, it seems that you have prepared everything in advance, is there anything else you won't have?" ”
Bai Fan smiled, "Fan is also a doctor, so he still has some experience in saving people and curing diseases!"
Your Majesty! Senior Brother Sun has gone north, disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and the court needs to mobilize and fully cooperate!
From epidemic prevention utensils, clothing, to various drugs for treatment and disinfection, there is no good logistics, and in the end you can only face murder and burning, so you are brave!
Please Your Majesty personally be the logistics commander of this epidemic prevention, the minister is willing to go to the northland, and the plague will be eradicated at the border before the beginning of spring! ”
Seeing that Bai Fan had the courage to say such righteousness, Li Er shouted, "I'm right!" This time to prevent the epidemic and save people, Bai Fan is the commander-in-chief of the Northland, and I will be the governor of all logistics matters!
Ladies and gentlemen, there is another catastrophe during the New Year's Festival, I ask you! ”
"Ministers dare not die!"
In the end, according to a series of lists listed by Bai Fan, the ministers went separately to prepare everything, and Governor Li Jing strictly escorted the disaster relief materials from all walks of life!
And Bai Fan went north to fight the plague, and the eldest grandson Wuji actually offered to go north together as his deputy, which moved Bai Fan for a while, and he had a new understanding of the views of this famous old fox!
Before Bai Fan left, he said goodbye to his family and relatives, and specially explained to Li Wanping, "I will come back safely, don't think about doing stupid things again!" ”
Li Wanping remembered what happened before, and instantly blushed!
This time Bai Fan went north again, although he didn't have Zhang Qi as an escort, but there was a more powerful one, that is, Li Yuanba! Ziyang Zhenren instructed, from then on, Yuanba followed his uncle Bai Fan to learn and experience, and when to become a teacher Bai Fan has the final say!
