The number of cholera infected and suspected cases in quarantine is increasing exponentially, and the demand for drugs is also increasing day by day, and the spread area has begun to extend to the prefectures and counties around the capital, including Daimyofu, Hejian Province, and Zhending Province, which have all been included in the epidemic control area.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not feel nervous because of this, in the initial stage of the new pathogenic bacteria, it is normal to show a rapid outbreak, even in the 21st century, hundreds of years later, when encountering a sudden new type of epidemic, there will be an outbreak period in the initial stage, not to mention that there is no complete infectious disease control system in the Ming Dynasty.

But this is not to say that Zhu Youxiao's administrative intervention has not had any effect, at least the spread of the large-scale epidemic has not completely affected the lives of most people, and although the capital is under martial law, it has not restricted trade exchanges.

The number of infected people divided by the huge base of the total population of Gyeonggi and Gyeonggi is still only a small percentage, so it has not yet reached the point of causing panic among the whole people.

Now, the only thing that really affects people's lives is not the epidemic itself, but the rise in prices and various rumors that have caused the prices of certain types of medicinal materials to soar or plummet.

"Dongchang must be strictly investigated, who is taking advantage of this to spread all kinds of unfavorable remarks, or who is hoarding, will be severely punished and will not be tolerated!"

When Zhu Youxiao instructed Liu Ruoyu, the master of ceremonies and the commander of Dongchang, there was news outside that Cheng Ji, a scholar of Dongge University, was asking to see, and Zhu Youxiao didn't know why Cheng Ji suddenly came to see him at this time, but he still announced Cheng Ji's life.

Since sending Qian Qianyi to prison and demoting Li Biao to the border of the Hami garrison, Cheng Jiming has become the leader of the old faction, and he can be regarded as a relatively ethical and low-key official, so Zhu Youxiao has high hopes for this, and hopes that he can become a roadblock to resist the excessive exploitation of the working class by new bourgeois officials such as the reformists.

"Your Majesty, according to the number of people infected with Vibrio cholerae reported by the Ministry of Health today, we used arithmetic methods to count, but found that since the day before yesterday, although a large number of people are still infected with cholera, the increase in the number of people is obviously greater than the previous increase, Your Majesty, please check!"

Cheng Jiming handed over a drawing as he spoke, and when Wang Chengen took the drawing and handed it to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be shocked, and said with a dumb smile: "Aiqing has a heart, even I didn't expect to make a statistic based on the number of infected people reported daily. However, I do have an audit department outside the Ministry of Households, for example, the data audit of this kind of emergency needs to immediately make contingency statistics to find out the patterns. ”

Zhu Youxiao said and took a closer look at the drawings of Cheng Ji, the so-called drawings are just a statistical chart drawn by Cheng Ji, with the daily as the horizontal axis punctuation, and the daily increase in the number of infected people as the vertical axis punctuation, and it is hard to make a rough polyline statistical effect through the data of the past two months.

On this statistical chart, it can indeed be seen that in the first half month, there was almost no large-scale increase in the number of infected people, indicating that the pathogenic bacteria are still in the adaptation period, but after half a month, there is a sharp and sharp increase, indicating that it has entered the logarithmic period, but what makes Zhu Youxiao frown is that three days ago, the discount slope of the logarithmic period suddenly increased, that is, the increase in the number of infected people has obviously expanded on a large scale.

Cheng Ji saw that His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao had frowned, and his face began to become ugly, and he also knew that His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao also saw the clue here:

"Wechen once served as the governor of Nanjiang, and there was also a plague disaster during Wechen's tenure, when Wechen was helpless, but he also tried his best to count how many people died of the plague every day, and because of this, Wechen found that generally when a large number of infected people appeared, there would be no larger-scale infected people, and it would only tend to stabilize, but now there is a larger number of infected people, which makes Wechen quite puzzled, so I came to play Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Cheng Jiming to have a good habit of doing data statistics, but he also had to admit that as Cheng Jiming said, after the large-scale outbreak of the epidemic, it will enter a stable period, also called a plateau period, if it is properly controlled, it will enter a plateau period in advance, so that the number of infected people will enter a constant value of dynamic equilibrium, and lay the foundation for the complete elimination of the epidemic.

But now it has entered the possibility of a second logarithmic period, which can only show that the officials below have not fully implemented the imperial court's epidemic response orders, and are even deliberately conniving and spreading, because even if you don't care about it or can't control it, it will show a curve of adaptation first and then logarithm and then stability and even death.

"Bold! dare to regard the epidemic as child's play and disregard human life! ”

As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he immediately shouted: "Wu Jin, the head of the Dongchang Factory, immediately take me to take off the black veil on the head of Yin of Shuntian Mansion, escort him into the palace, and I will interrogate him personally!" ”

Then, Zhu Youxiao looked at Cheng Jiming again: "Cheng Aiqing, now the epidemic is uncontrollable, but if it is really a man-made disaster, or there is still hope to save and make up for it, are you willing to temporarily take charge of Shuntianfu and take full charge of the epidemic prevention of the entire Gyeonggi epidemic?" ”

"Wechen is willing!"

As soon as Cheng Ji Ming replied, Zhu Youxiao patted him on the shoulder and instructed Wang Chengen: "I immediately ordered the cabinet to draft a decree, and Cheng Ji, a scholar of Kadong Pavilion, appointed the left attendant of the household department and the right attendant of the Ministry of Health, and the governor of Gyeonggi Military Affairs, and was fully responsible for the epidemic prevention affairs of Gyeonggi. ”

……

At this time, Wu Youke also came to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and after taking out another twenty silver dollars, he successfully opened the government and successfully met Yin Qiu Maohua of Shuntian Mansion.

Qiu Maohua is a serious jinshi background, and he is the first prefect in the world, and the official residence is of the third grade, so he does not look down on Wu Youke, who was born in a non-imperial examination, but this Wu Youke has become a second-grade Shangshu because of the appreciation of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, which makes Qiu Maohua even more unconvinced.

Wu Youke arched his hand to him: "Qiu Mansion Yin, the father-in-law of the Imperial Pharmacy said that because of the fact that Shuntian Mansion is directly responsible for the supply of decoction for the isolated people, he directly sent a batch of medicinal materials worth two million silver dollars hoarded by the palace to Shuntian Mansion, and I don't want to take it out to fry the soup for the quarantined people, now the epidemic has a tendency to expand, and the batch of medicinal materials hoarded by the Imperial Pharmacy has a significant effect on early prevention of cholera, and it must be taken by the quarantined people as soon as possible to avoid further expansion of the epidemic!" ”

Qiu Maohua was very disgusted with Wu Youke talking to himself like this, but he was worried that Wu Youke was now a celebrity beside His Majesty, so he had to endure the unhappiness in his heart, and said patiently: "Wu Shangshu listened to which father-in-law in the palace said that this batch of medicinal materials directly entered my Shuntian Mansion, but the lower official didn't even receive half a penny of medicinal materials, if you don't believe it, you can go to the lower official's treasury to check it!" ”
