Chapter 22: The Great Plague Strikes
The answer is that everyone else died from the last Wancheng plague. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He Jin originally had two sons and a daughter, and He Xian was only his youngest child. He Miao also had two sons, both of whom were older than He Xian.
In the last Wancheng plague, the He family lost twenty-seven relatives. He Xian's immediate family grandmother, mother, three aunts, one brother, one sister, and two cousins all died in the plague, and in the end, only three generations of grandchildren and four people remained.
This incident hit He Jin and He Miao very hard, which is why the two have not married a wife or concubine in the past five years. The loss of their beloved has left the two big men with no memories of their pain. He Jin is okay, he can force himself to maneuver in official duties, in order to fight for the family status, and provide assistance to the little sister who works alone in the palace. He Miao was miserable, he had nothing to do, he could only close himself off and indulge in eating, drinking and having fun. This is also the reason why He Miao has always indulged He Xian and let him do whatever he wants. No one knows when the next plague will come.
The truth is always cruel, I didn't expect He Fu to still hide such painful memories, presumably I had just come to this world at that time, and I hadn't adapted yet, and I didn't have the slightest memory.
With such a painful lesson, the success of preventing the plague from invading Yingchuan County this time has been even greater.
"Eight Strategies for Epidemic Prevention":
First, road checkpoints were set up on various roads leading to Jingzhou, and isolation workshops were built. Ordinary caravans who want to enter Jingzhou must stay in the quarantine camp for seven days, and smoke their people, cars and horse harness with mugwort and other drugs every day to disinfect and prevent the epidemic. After seven days, those who have no symptoms will be allowed to enter the territory of Yingchuan County. Trespassers are punished with banditry and killed.
Second, establish an epidemic prevention management system, once an infected person is discovered, the on-site personnel will immediately organize personnel to send the patient to the "sick relocation workshop" for isolation, place medicine, and report infectious diseases and investigate suspected cases step by step, without delay.
Third, the counties counted vacant houses, thinking that they were "sick and relocated to the square", and strictly isolated them to cut off the source of infection of the plague and prevent the spread of the disease.
Fourth, all the doctors in the county registered and made policies, collected and developed prescriptions for the plague, and once the plague broke out, they went to the nearest clinic for treatment, and all medical expenses were paid by the imperial court.
Fifth, where the well water comes from the leyline of the earth, there is a seepage from the nearby rivers and lakes, and the sewage from the ditches near the city is mixed into alkali, and it is boiled and boiled with a mustache. Do not eat spoiled rice, do not eat raw or cold food, and do not eat raw fish. In the rat wading rice, all donate but do not eat. Regardless of the officials, the people must take a bath every five days and maintain personal hygiene.
Sixth, organize special personnel to urge the people to improve sanitation conditions, especially in slums. Domestic garbage will be cleaned up in a centralized manner, and those who "abandon the ashes in the road" will be fined copper coins. "Metropolitan toilets", that is, there were public toilets in the city at that time, and the thatched pits between the villages were all sprinkled with quicklime to disinfect and kill flies and rats.
Seventh, all epidemic areas will be given financial relief, and tax exemption and rent reduction will be carried out in the coming year. Properly bury the deceased and provide relief and support for orphans. Those who die of the plague must be buried or cremated so as not to endanger their families. Orphans left behind by plague-stricken families, if they are under the age of 12, are raised by relatives of the same clan, and the government provides two months of food ration relief, and the list of orphans is reported to the government. For those who have no relatives, the imperial court will set up orphans to raise them. The people in the epidemic area must not panic and do not leave their hometowns to avoid the spread of the plague.
Eighth, the knowledge of plague prevention and simple prescriptions were inscribed on stone tablets, distributed in each county, township, and village, and placed in the sick squares, village squares, and roadsides to show the people for use in times of emergency.
The decree of the county guard has been issued, and the movement of Yangzhai City to prevent the epidemic and eliminate the four evils, clean up the dead corners, and jointly build a civilized city of the Han Dynasty has been vigorously launched under the leadership of Comrade He Miao, the county governor. However, in addition to Yangzhai City, where the county is located, the remaining 16 counties under its jurisdiction, including Changshe, Xuxian, Wuyang, Yingyin, Lunshi, Jiaxian, Fucheng, Yingyang, Xiangcheng, Kunyang, Dingling, Linying, Xinji, Yanling, and Yanxian, reacted. The reason is just that in these counties, the power of the family is far greater than the appeal of the imperial court. And He Jin did not discuss with the family at the first time when he issued the decree, which cannot but be said to be a big mistake.
It was only seven days later that He Xian learned about the situation in the counties. While feeling the strength of the family, He Xian visited Guo Jia for the first time, Guo is a member of Yangzhai City, the ancestors Guo Hong, Guo Gong, Xi "Xiao Du Law", and hundreds of people often teach disciples.
Guo Jia was willing to persuade Guo Yan to call on the people under the jurisdiction of Yang Zhai in the name of Guo to cooperate with the actions of the imperial court. However, there are many Yingchuan families, and Guo's influence is limited, so if the entire county wants to take action, Guo Jia suggests that He Xian must get the support of the "Yingchuan Four Chiefs". The so-called four chiefs of Yingchuan are the four most famous families in the Yingchuan family, namely Yingyin Xun Shu, Zhong Hao, Xuchang Chen Yu and Wuyang Han Shao.
Among them, led by Yingyin Xun Shu. Xun Shuang, the current president of Yingchuan Academy, is Xun Shu's sixth son and the best candidate for the next head of the Xun family.
Saying goodbye to Guo Jia, He Xian hurried to the academy to see Xun Shuang.
No one knows how He Xian persuaded Xun Shuang, and the epidemic prevention work in Yingyin and Xu County finally began to advance, indicating that He Xian's efforts have been successful.
When SARS was rampant, He Xian was in high school, and he deeply experienced the apocalyptic atmosphere that prevailed in society at that time. Under the medical conditions of the twenty-first century, there is no excellent means of preventing this kind of contagious plague, and he does not think that the medical system of the Han Dynasty can withstand it, but what he hopes for is that when the epidemic really breaks out, fewer people will die, and that's it. When He Xian was full of bubbles for epidemic prevention, the bad news finally came, the Nanyang epidemic.
Nanyang, located in the north of Jingzhou, is close to Wuyang, Kunyang and Father City in Yingchuan County. Under the persuasion of Xun Shuang's letter, Wuyang Han was the first to stand up to support the imperial court to carry out epidemic prevention work. But Rao is so, the progress is still too slow!
Ordered that the big city to which the county belongs was strictly banned, and outsiders, especially the caravans and people from the south to the north, were forbidden to enter the city! If a sick patient is found, isolate and report it as soon as possible! Tell the people to investigate the strangers and isolate the sick not only for their own lives, but also for their parents, wives and children, relatives, clansmen and neighbors! Mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized and rely on the family, it's too late!
The wolf, no, it's the devil, really came!
