"What's wrong?"

Seeing the palace maid's panicked appearance, Liu Hong knew that the matter was definitely not small.

"Your Majesty, there is a plague in the capital. The Prime Minister and the Ministry of Health have arrived, and are now waiting for you to summon them. ”

"Plague, there is a plague in the capital!" Hearing the news, Liu Hong couldn't care about those photos, so he raised his legs and walked outside.

Plague, not to mention in ancient times, is also a great event in the 21st century, and it is extremely difficult to prevent it. Now we can only hope that this epidemic is not too serious.

"Uncle Huang, how is the situation now?" Seeing Liu Qi and Zhang Zhongjing anxiously moving around the hall, Liu Hong felt that things were not very good.

"Your Majesty, the situation is serious." As he spoke, he said to Zhang Zhongjing: "Zhang Shangshu, you have a detailed report there, or you should give a detailed report to Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Zhongjing was also not polite, and said directly: "Your Majesty, it has now been determined that the epidemic started in Jizhou. A few Jizhou people who went to the capital to work brought the epidemic to the capital. Although there are not many cases found in the capital now, the epidemic in Jizhou is already very serious, which makes the local people panic. ”

"And how did you deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen has ordered all doctors to be on standby, and the confirmed cases should be treated in a centralized manner, and isolated and treated."

Hearing this arrangement, Liu Hong shook his head, "It's just that this won't work, it's too incomplete, and it's not enough to control the development of the epidemic." ”

"Then what is your majesty's good idea?" Zhang Zhongjing didn't dare to interject indiscriminately, but Liu Qian didn't have any concerns.

"For the centralized admission and treatment of confirmed cases, isolation and treatment is right, but it is not comprehensive, and those suspected patients should also be isolated and observed until they are diagnosed."

Hearing this, Liu Qi and Zhang Zhongjing both nodded.

"To prevent the plague, the most important thing is to cut off its route of transmission. It is not enough to isolate the patient, but also to demarcate the epidemic points and epidemic areas, and disinfect the epidemic points and epidemic areas in a timely manner, and it is best to block the epidemic areas. ”

When Liu Qi and Zhang Zhongjing heard this, they also agreed.

"Attention must be paid to the hygiene and personal hygiene of the epidemic area, drinking water must be boiled, and human and animal manure must be disinfected with quicklime before being buried deeply. There are many diseases, which are transmitted to people by the germs produced after the decomposition of animal carcasses, so it is best to cremate animal carcasses and patients who die of disease, and if not, bury them deeply, so that they cannot become a new source of infection. ”

"Your Majesty, what you said is too comprehensive, with these measures, if there is an epidemic in the future, it can be easily controlled." Zhang Zhongjing admired Liu Hong's addition.

"These measures seem to be very comprehensive, but I am not a medical worker, and I am inevitably surprised. You, the professionals, must carefully summarize and find out the best prevention measures against the epidemic, and form complete regulations to keep our people away from the danger of the epidemic. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty said so."

"Zhongjing, although you are not very old, you are also a famous doctor in the world, is the epidemic that happened this time good?"

"Your Majesty, the epidemic that occurred this time is smallpox, commonly known as pockmarked disease. It is best to prevent this disease in advance, once you have this disease, the possibility of cure is very small, and you can basically only resign yourself to fate. ”

Hearing that the epidemic was smallpox, Liu Hong's nervous mood relaxed. If there were other epidemics, he really couldn't do anything, but smallpox he knew that cowpox could be prevented.

"Zhongjing, I know the disease of smallpox, I have seen from an ancient book how to prevent this disease."

"Ah, how can it be prevented?" Hearing this, Liu Qian and Zhang Zhongjing asked excitedly at the same time.

"The book says that if you get smallpox once, you will never get it again. Therefore, as long as people are slightly infected and healed, they will have resistance to smallpox and will not get smallpox again. ”

"But how do you get a slight infection? This kind of thing is not easy to control, if you are not careful, people will be seriously infected, and it will be fatal. Zhang Zhongjing was very curious about this.

"The answer given in the book is cowpox." Liu Hongjie said: "Smallpox is a disease that not only humans can get, but also animals can get it, and the most susceptible to infection is cattle. Applying the pox liquid of a diseased cow to a person's wound can cause a slight infection, and after it heals itself, it will be able to resist smallpox. ”

"Will this work?" In this regard, Zhang Zhongjing has some doubts.

"Whether it will work or not, I don't know. However, since the predecessors have proposed a solution, even if we can't confirm the authenticity, it is not difficult to test it. ”

"Yes, what Your Majesty said is that Weichen will arrange it." With that, Zhang Zhongjing left in a hurry.

"Uncle Huang, as soon as the epidemic appears, people will inevitably panic. And once the epidemic area is blocked, the panic of the people will be even worse, and it is easy to be used by people with intentions at this time, and the imperial court must guide it. ”

Although after Liu Hong's reminder, Liu Qian made arrangements. However, because the entire blockade of Wei County in Jizhou still caused a lot of panic among the people, no matter how the imperial court explained, the people did not believe it.

"This won't work, if it goes on like this, it will be a big deal."

The cowpox experiment has just begun, and when it is confirmed, it will take even longer to plant the pox for the people. Now that people are panicked by the blockade of Wei County, if it takes so long, maybe what will happen.

"The most important thing now is to stabilize people's minds, let people know that there is nothing wrong with the people in the epidemic area, and let them not believe the rumors of those people with ulterior motives. But if the blockade can't be lifted, otherwise all the progress will be lost, so how can we defeat those rumors? Liu Hong kept pondering, "It's really not good, I'll go to Wei County to comfort the people there, so that those rumors will be self-defeating." ”

"Your Majesty, you want to go to Wei County in person, no, it's too dangerous."

"My day, you think I'm willing to go, it's an epidemic area, and I don't know if the vaccine I got in my last life will work in this life, and it's a big risk." Liu Hong scolded for a while, and then said: "Uncle Huang, the situation is urgent now, if I don't go there in person, what else can I do to stop this rumor?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Qian was speechless.

"Uncle Huang, I have great confidence in cowpox, as long as I am vaccinated with cowpox, there is no risk to me in the epidemic area, you can rest assured." This is also Liu Hong's true thoughts, otherwise, with his life-sparing character, he would never go to such a dangerous place.

The news that the emperor was going to personally go to the epidemic area to offer condolences spread out, and this power was quite great, and before Liu Hong could make the trip, those rumors disappeared. After all, no one is stupid, and if the epidemic area is really as rumored to be, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to go there.

However, the people also know that even if it is different from what the rumors say, it is an epidemic area after all, and it must be very dangerous. And the emperor went in person regardless of the danger, and Liu Hong's already high prestige immediately increased many times.
