Chu Huan did not see the so-called Thirty-six Dock Fort in person, but he sincerely admired Yu Bu Qu from the bottom of his heart, this veteran even when he was dying, he did his best to formulate the defense strategy of Wu Fort , there is always a kind of person in this world who is worthy of respect, Yu Bu Qu is undoubtedly this kind of person.

The little county magistrate didn't know much, and Chu Huan didn't expect to know much from his mouth, but considering that the plague was about to spread, since he was a governor, he couldn't sit still, and after breakfast, he immediately summoned the officials of Qingtang County and asked about the situation of the plague in Qingtang County.

Although the epidemic in Qingtang County has shown clues, but fortunately, it has not completely spread, Chu Huan pondered for a moment, knowing that in order to control the spread of the plague, it is necessary to control the spread of the source of the disease, those people carrying the source of the disease are moving around, just like if the plague spreads everywhere, he immediately instructed Zhou Renkang to prepare to set up a quarantine zone to isolate the people carrying the virus, so as to prevent the virus from spreading rapidly.

"What the Governor has said is very true, there have been many cases of plague since the dynasties." Zhou Renkang said: "It's just that the epidemic is big and small, this time the epidemic in my northwest is bound to be not small, according to the methods of previous dynasties, there are also patients isolated, but this is often a big problem, there are many people who know that they are infected with the epidemic, but they are afraid to enter the isolation zone, there are still people moving outside, the epidemic is contagious, even if nine out of ten people are isolated, the remaining one can still spread ...... around!" ”

"Ben Governor knows what you mean." Chu Huan bowed his head and said: "But the degree of transmission of ten people together is always faster than the degree of transmission of one person, we must control the spread of the plague as much as possible, and gain time for the doctors to develop medicines to relieve the plague...... Lord Zhou, you immediately sent people to post notices in all the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Qingtang County, saying that the government was already developing an antidote to the epidemic, and that the antidote would soon be developed, and that the antidote would be distributed to the sick people free of charge at that time...... However, the notice should emphasize that once the antidote is developed, the antidote will be given priority to patients who enter the isolation zone, and patients who do not enter the isolation zone on time will not only be ranked behind when distributing the antidote, but also have to bear a certain amount of drug costs......! ”

Zhou Renkang immediately said: "My lord is wise! ”

The county couldn't help but ask: "My lord, even if many people are infected with the epidemic, they may not know that they have been infected, so what should I do?" ”

"The Governor has already asked the doctor that the signs of the epidemic are first sweating, fever, then dizziness, and dry mouth, and by the time the body begins to swell, the condition is already very serious." Chu Huan said solemnly: "In addition to setting up an isolation hall, you must immediately organize all the doctors who are proficient in medical skills in Qingtang County to set up a medical hall near the isolation hall, if anyone has the pre-existing symptoms mentioned by this governor, regardless of whether they are infected with the epidemic or not, they have the right and obligation to go to the hospital for diagnosis!" ”

"Obligation?" The officials did not understand for a moment.

Chu Huan sighed: "In other words, everyone is eligible to enter the clinic for free to receive a diagnosis, check whether they are infected, and not only are they qualified, but they also have the responsibility to go to the clinic. ”

Zhou Renkang understood, and arched his hand: "Xiaguan understands." After a pause, he cautiously asked, "My lord, is this...... Whether it is to set up an isolation hall or a medical hall, it will cost a lot of silver, and the imperial court will ...... Will the court allocate the money? In addition, if a quarantine zone is set up, then the patients infected by the epidemic will have to be confined and rations...... Where did the rations come from? ”

Chu Huan thought of the problem of money and grain, it was very tricky, although the emperor promised to transfer some grain from Anyi Road, but it was Chu Huan prepared to use it for grain seeds, the cultivated land area of Xiguan Road ranked first among the three northwest provinces, only relying on the grain raised by the seven surnames of Xiguan, even if all of them were planted, they might not be able to reach half of the cultivated area, and they could not let Xiguan's large tracts of cultivated land be empty.

Only when he is the master of the house knows the difficulties of being the master of the house, especially the lack of money and food, Chu Huan has not officially arrived to take up his post, and he already feels that the chair of the governor of Xiguan Province is too hot, and it is really difficult to sit.

"Is there still grain in the county warehouse?" Chu Huan asked, "You always have some treasury silver in the county, right?" ”

Zhou Renkang said with a bitter face: "Lord Governor, there is still a little bit of grain in stock, that is the last grain in the county, and if there is no silver left, it is not enough to do things at all." ”

"Don't care so much about it, how many of them are taken out, people's lives are at stake." Chu Huan said with a straight face: "This governor will find a way, and he will soon allocate money and food to you to come over ......!" ”

Zhou Renkang and the officials of Qingtang County all looked at each other, and their eyes were deep, not without suspicion, in fact, although these people were not in high official positions, they were not stupid, everyone knew that Chu Huan came to the northwest to take up his post, it was sitting on a pile of mud, short of money and food, many people found it hard to believe that Chu Huan really had enough financial and material resources to organize this action to resist the plague.

Chu Huan picked up the teacup and seemed to be tasting tea, but his eyes crossed, and he naturally saw the suspicion in everyone's eyes, put down the teacup, and said lightly: "Since the governor has let go, he will naturally not break his word, and you don't have to doubt the governor, what the governor asks you to do, you can do it, if you can't pull out the silver at that time, the official will give you an explanation when he becomes an official robe!" ”

When everyone heard Chu Huan say this, they were so frightened that they got up and knelt down: "Don't dare, the lord is serious, and the subordinates will obey the orders of the adults!" ”

Chu Huan raised his hand to let everyone get up, and said: "In addition to setting up an isolation hall and a medical hall to isolate the source of the disease, there is another thing that is more important than this fear!" ”

Zhou Renkang hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Corpses!" Chu Huan said solemnly: "On the way to come, I saw many tombs along the way, and even saw the bones on the side of the abandoned road...... Let's just say those tombs, Lord Zhou, that was buried by the county organization? ”

Zhou Renkang's eyebrows immediately rose, and he arched his hand: "Lord Hui, there were many refugees from the north who came here before, and there were many victims in Qingtang County, who froze to death in winter, starved to death because of food shortage, and were killed because of fighting. ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Did you spend a lot of silver?" ”

Zhou Renkang said: "Xia Guan is not talented, in office for many years, has been committed to the people, promote benevolence and righteousness, my Qingtang County people are pure and kind, although the organization of burying the corpse was initiated by Xia Guan, but all the villages and towns under its jurisdiction are responding to the call of Xia Guan, very active, but did not spend any money ......!" ”

Chu Huan sighed and said, "Lord Zhou, you don't have to hide it from Bendu, is it because you didn't set aside the money?" ”

"Xiaguan...... The lower officials don't dare! Zhou Renkang knelt down, "Lord Governor, it is really the people of Qingtang County who are benevolent, and they ......!" ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Don't say it again, are you still deceiving your own official?" The official doesn't need to ask, he also knows that it was you who forcibly conscripted and issued the task of labor, not that they didn't want to be paid, but that you, Lord Zhou, never thought of paying them...... Zhou Renkang, Zhou Renkang, you don't want to think about it, the common people are the most taboo about corpses, if their own family members are down, they will scramble to bury the dead? They really don't have a chance? If it weren't for the government forcing them to work without compensation, how could they take the initiative to bury the corpses of people who are not relatives? ”

Zhou Renkang sweated on his forehead, lay on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency the Governor is clear, and the officials are ...... The crime of the lower officials deserves death, and it is really ...... the county that cannot afford to pay for it! ”

"Get up!" Chu Huan raised his hand and sighed: "Although the method is wrong, but the thing is right, the corpse should have been buried." You also go and take a look at those tombs, it's really a tofu scum project, even the corpses are not buried, and the hands and feet are still leaking outside, even if there is no source of disease coming out of those tombs in the future, but just bury them at will, those unjust souls are willing? When the living saw it, there were long hands and feet around the tomb, and they were scared to death ......! ”

Zhou Renkang understood what Chu Huan meant, and immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will reorganize and rebury, and there will be no more such a situation...... ”

"If the county can't come up with the money for the time being, it will give them a promise." Chu Huan said slowly: "Always let them have a hope, so that they can have the strength." As the saying goes, if you want the horse to run fast, it's good to feed it first, if there is no benefit, who will really work hard? All of you here don't have to worry, this time you and the Governor face the difficulties together, work together, and get through this hurdle, the Governor will naturally not treat you badly, the promotion of the promotion, the reward of the reward, the Governor put his words here, if you follow the Governor with your heart, the Governor will not be able to treat you well in the future, that is, the Governor is not particular, and the Governor is not worthy of sitting in the chair of the Governor of Xiguan. ”

"It's all at the disposal of the Governor!" Everyone immediately stood up and said respectfully: "The lower officials and others must do their best to tide over the difficulties together, and dare not live up to the high expectations of the governor!" ”

"Bodies that have decomposed, if possible, are burned on the spot." Chu Huan ordered: "The best way to prevent the spread of the source of the corpse is to destroy the corpse." ”

"I'm afraid it will anger the people." Zhou Renkang hurriedly said: "The body is skinny, and the parents who receive it, it's okay to bury the corpse, but the corpse is to be burned, and some family members may not agree, I'm afraid that something will happen...... ”

"In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things!" Chu Huan Zhengse said: "The corpse that has been decomposed is the most likely to become the source of the disease, even if it is buried, it may not be useful, what should be burned must be burned, no need to be soft, if someone really makes trouble, let them come to find Bendu, there are already many incidents in the northwest, and Bendu doesn't care about more incidents." Thinking of something, he explained: "You can gather people now and prepare to rebury the corpse, but don't act for the time being, tonight the governor will feast the doctors of this county, and discuss with them a way, and also ensure the safety of those who bury the corpses......!" After thinking about it, he asked Zhou Renkang: "Lord Zhou, do you know about gas masks?" ”

Zhou Renkang was stunned, and then shook his head blankly.
