Chapter 497: After the Great Plague (Part II)

(Cat flutter Chinese) "After the catastrophe, there must be a great epidemic" has been said in ancient times, but in ancient times, science was not developed, there was no scientific prevention and control method, coupled with the fear of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods at that time, it was only listed as a natural disaster instead of **.

secondly, it is to establish the corresponding place of defecation and concentrate on the treatment of feces and other substances; Then the sick people are separated from the healthy people, and only after the disease is cured can they stay with the healthy people. ”

"Plague" is "plague", in ancient times, before the people entered the lunar month and approached the New Year, every family would sacrifice to the god of plague in order to seek peace and security, which shows that the ancients were afraid of the plague in the depths of their hearts.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, a eunuch came in, and it seemed that there was something to report.

"Your Majesty has checked the matter with the slave and maid, and the slave and maid have already inquired!" The eunuch glanced at Huizong Zhao Ji's face, and replied cautiously, and saw that Zhao Ji's face did not show anger, so he continued: "Last night to this morning, Biandu has rained heavily overnight, causing the water level of the Bianhe, Caihe, Jinshui and Wuzhang rivers to rise sharply, and the embankment has poured into Biandu......"

The eunuch hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the slave maid went to the Yellow River embankment to check, the Yellow River water flow was gentle, and the water level did not rise significantly, and the slave maid went to the flood station again, according to the report of the flood station, the torrential rain only fell near Biandu, so it did not have a big impact on the water level of the Yellow River. ”

According to the development of the flood situation, the ancients would adopt a variety of alarm methods such as "sheep report", "horse report", "dog report" and "foot report". The so-called "sheep report" was originally the method of reporting floods in distress on the Yellow River, and the police officers carried water sticks, took inflatable sheepskin rafts, went down from the upstream, engraved the observed water level on the label, and threw the flood report one after another; "Horse Newspaper" is to take a fast horse to report the flood, and later the Ming and Qing dynasties called it "six hundred miles of Pegasus"; The so-called "dog report" is a well-trained dog to pass on the flood situation instead of a person; The "step newspaper" is an artificial walk to convey the flood situation.

Due to sediment accumulation, the Yellow River bed has the tendency to rise every year, so the Yellow River has the name of "hanging river", the height of the Yellow River bed near Biandu is even the same as the highest pagoda in Biandu, if the Yellow River bursts the embankment, you can imagine what kind of situation it will be.

The slave and maid roughly estimated that the people affected by the disaster in the entire Kaifeng City were at least hundreds of thousands, and even approached 200,000 people, due to the large number of people, clothing, food, housing and transportation have become problems, and even the slave and maid saw with their own eyes that in order to quench their thirst, those victims directly drank the sewage on the ground, and now it rained again, and the slave and maid were really worried about the affected people in Biandu. ”

"Your Majesty, don't let your grief give you the dragon body!" Seeing Huizong Zhao Ji pretentious, Liang Shicheng and the eunuch of the matter were busy.

What is the concept of nearly 200,000 victims being homeless, this is Biandu, in case the victims are not well fed and clothed, and they can't stand the rain and make trouble, the consequences are unimaginable, Huizong Zhao Ji has to be anxious when he hears this, if the disaster victims gather and change, the situation will be unpredictable, and it will even affect the stability of the Great Song Dynasty.

After a little thought in his heart, Lotte hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, the tent in the military camp will be used to settle the people, so that the people will not be drenched in the rain, and at the same time, the official warehouse of Kaifeng Mansion will be ordered to put grain and porridge to ensure that the people will not die of hunger." ”

Huizong Zhao Ji nodded, and ordered the eunuch who came to return to his life: "Quickly spread my will and Kaifeng Mansion, and put grain and porridge!" ”

"Yes, we understand!" The eunuch said busily when he heard this.

After the eunuch left, Lotte said again: "Please also ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to take out the camp tent of the general and the people as a temporary shelter from the rain." ”

After thinking about it, Huizong Zhao Ji said again: "At present, the flood is very urgent, and the officials of all the ministries in Biandu are performing their duties, and the matter of resettlement of the people and epidemic prevention will be handed over to Le Qing!" ”

Twenty years after ascending the throne, Emperor Huizong's mental skills were so simple, and his face was solemn and said: "Leqing, don't live up to my expectations, don't let my people die because of their muscles, and don't let the plague break out among the people of Biandu." ”

"Speak!" Huizong Zhao Ji said.

"Accurate!" At this time, how could Huizong not be allowed.

It also takes a process to make a decree and implement it, of course, these don't work Lotte in person, Lotte just needs to wait in the palace.

Since that day's heavy rain, the rain only lived for more than an hour, and then it continued to rain continuously, and it even lasted for two days before it stopped, although the flood disaster could not be further expanded, but the water potential could not go down for a while and a half.

The tents in the army have been properly placed and the victims are no longer exposed to the rain, but the signs of a great plague have begun to appear among the victims.

In order to prevent the epidemic, Lotte not only built many temporary toilets to concentrate on handling dirty objects such as feces, but also ordered officials and soldiers to fish out various corpses that appeared in the water and bury them deeply. However, there are still signs of disease among the victims.

Lotte, who has the soul of future generations, clearly knows the transmission route of dysentery, and also knows how to prevent dysentery, a minor disease, in addition to isolating the patients, and also issued an order that all victims must drink boiled water, not to drink raw water, and to eat raw food. In addition, Lotte also asked all the victims to bathe in lime water to kill germs on their bodies, and instructed the victims to soak their clothes and household products in lime water to disinfect them.

"CUHK people, can the spread of the epidemic be controlled just by letting the victims bathe and wear dry clothes?" Although Imperial Doctor Zhang is proficient in medical skills, he is limited to the ancients who knew the times, and he definitely does not understand pathology, so he expressed doubts about Lotte's instructions.

Imperial Doctor Zhang served the royal family in the deep palace, so he naturally knew how to be an official, and he knew the situation of the court well, and the official was crushed to death, and Lotte had been in the limelight recently and won His Majesty's favor, so Imperial Doctor Zhang naturally did not dare to oppose Lotte, and did as Lotte ordered.

After a series of rectifications, dysentery and other minor diseases among the victims began to be effectively controlled, so that the epidemic that was about to break out in Biandu disappeared invisibly.

The flood in Biandu does not recede, but the entire court has been unusually calm these days, and no one has expressed any opinion on this matter, and even the ministers have only slightly raised the matter of the flood and have not commented much.

On this day, suddenly a boat sailed into Biandu from Tianbo Water Gate, and finally stopped outside Huangcheng, and Tong Guan, who was in charge of the affairs of the six roads in the northwest, came back from the northwest and entered Beijing.
