Chapter 519: The situation is worrying

Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Brother Yuanqing, why do you get so much soap, wine, and salt?"

Changle's mouth and nose are wrapped in a thick face, and then the cloth head is tied with a bow at the back of his head, although the temporary mask is simple, but it still looks good on the beautiful Changle face.

Wu Yuanqing also wore it, well, the coachmen of more than twenty carriages were also wrapped, but they looked ugly when they were wrapped in their faces.

The group went to Xuanpu Garden, where nearly 8,000 people were homeless due to the floods.

"These things are for the people of the disaster." Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.

"I know it's for the victims, and I also know that soap is for the victims to wash their faces, wash their hands and bathe. Because you said that keeping it clean can prevent a lot of diseases. It's just that it's not clear what those wine and salt are used for, do you still have to satisfy the appetite of the disaster victims for disaster relief, but you don't need to give them wine, and no matter how much salt is deducted when the government gives porridge, it can't deduct much." A big question mark on Changle's face.

"Hehe, wine and salt are also used for cleaning. However, it is mainly used for wound sterilization and disinfection. This wine is a strong liquor from my family, which is the most suitable for disinfection and cleaning wounds, and salt can not only be used to clean wounds with salt water, but also to replenish the salt needs of the human body. Well, you may not understand it, but anyway, as long as you know about this kind of flooding, many people will have diarrhea, and if the diarrhea is severe, there will be malnutrition and a lot of electrolyte and water loss. At this time, it is necessary to supplement some saline to increase electrolyte and water intake."

Wu Yuanqing said a lot of words in a loud voice, Changle blinked his eyes and understood every word, but when he put it together, he didn't know what he said.

"Well, forget it, don't think about it so much, just know that drinking some salt water is good when you have diarrhea." Wu Yuanqing said helplessly.

"Oh." Changle nodded to indicate that he understood.

The process of large-scale disaster relief and epidemic prevention, in Chang'an in Guanzhong, whether it is a magistrate or a member of the imperial court, or the common people are very experienced, because the overwhelming locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan gave these people the opportunity to take out Wu Yuanqing and apply a large number of disaster relief and epidemic prevention regulations that were demonstrated and promoted by Sun Simiao.

So now there is an epidemic in Guanzhong, a small disaster or something, and it is easy for the local officials to do the disaster relief and epidemic prevention work in an orderly manner.

But here in Luoyang, although Tiao Chen was sent to them many years ago, there has never been a lot of opportunities to practice.

And in general, they are also accustomed to small disasters and small epidemics, and Cao Sui responds to the previous habits.

Therefore, when the entire Central Plains region was hit by floods, the state and county officials were completely blind, and they could not come up with an effective disaster relief method, and the response measures were also a hammer in the east and a stick in the west.

Take Luoyang City as an example, according to Changle, three days after the overflow that night, the government of Luoyang organized people to collect the drowned corpses in the city, and before that, most of the energy was put on Hanjiacang's inspection and drainage.

Although it was raining all the time, the temperature was still very high, and three days was enough time for the corpses to decompose and emit a foul smell.

The officials in Luoyang are completely unclear about the severity, compared to Hanjiacang, which is not seriously affected by the floods, it is the first priority to dispose of the corpses and burn them as soon as possible to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic, but they put the cart before the horse.

That's it, who knows that they only deal with the corpses of drowned people and large animals, as for the drowned chickens, dogs, rats, and the corpses of these small animals appear in front of them, they will not deal with them, the government does not care, and the people themselves have suffered disasters and have no awareness of epidemic prevention.

Therefore, it was not until Li Shimin came back from Mount Tai to live in Mingde Palace, and was preparing to visit Luoyang the next day to investigate the disaster, that the imperial doctor who started the station in advance discovered the situation and reported it to Li Shimin in time.

Naturally, Li Shimin didn't dare to enter Luoyang City, so he cleaned it up, and urgently fired a lot of quicklime from several lime kilns around it, as well as slaked lime from various places, and then all of them were brought to Luoyang City to start comprehensive spreading disinfection and sterilization.

Luoyang overflowed, a total of more than 6,000 people drowned, this death toll is already very large, but then the number of people who died due to disease and plague wound infection far exceeded this number, incomplete statistics exceeded 25,000 people.

It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin opened the Mingde Palace and the Xuanpu Garden, two royal palaces, to resettle the victims.

It's really that the living conditions of the people in Luoyang City who have been severely affected are too bad. It was precisely for this reason that Wu Yuanqing took out all the usable soap, distilled spirits, and salt that he had in his store in Luoyang, and sent some of them to Mingde Palace, and some of them to Xuanpu Garden himself.

The beautiful Xuanpu Garden, the victims lived in it for only one day, but in this short one day, it was cheesy here I don't know how much.

It's not that it's tacky because the people who live there are people, it's because the waste that the people get rid of makes it cheesy.

"Vomit"

As soon as he stepped into less than ten meters, a faint smell made Wu Yuanqing almost vomit.

"Come, come, come."

Wu Yuanqing shouted with a blue face.

"It's coming, it's coming." A servant in charge of maintaining order ran over.

"What's going on, didn't you tell you to keep the victims from defecating in the open, why are there people defecating at this gate?" Wu Yuanqing pointed to a pile of poop not far away and asked.

"Back to the Hou Ye, the small ones are in charge according to the order, but the time is too short, the toilet is not dug enough, and the number of victims is large, many people can't wait and can only find a place to solve it. The adults are a little better, and they know that even if they can't hold back the shame, they will find a hidden place to solve it, but the children don't care so much, those male babies can solve it anywhere, and the little ones can't be managed by a dozen people." The official complained bitterly.

"If you don't pay attention to your application, I can help you get someone, but one thing you have to remember is that the hygiene here must be done well. I don't care about it before, but in the future, no one is allowed to defecate in the open here, whether you hold it or not, you have to go to the toilet."

Speaking of this, Wu Yuanqing paused, glanced at the official who looked a little embarrassed, and said again: "The plague in the city before was because it was not clean, so Your Majesty placed the victims here. If it is because you don't manage it well, let the victims defecate everywhere, and there is a plague here, I think you know that Your Majesty will definitely not spare you. Besides, even if Your Majesty can spare you, once there is a plague here, can you guarantee that you will not be infected? So, for the sake of your own life, you should also manage this place strictly."
