Chapter 310: Epidemics and Masks (Part 1)
The reception banquet seems to be bland, but it is a turbulent undercurrent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The officials and the new governor have been wrestling for several rounds.
Xie Shen has made his attitude clear. If you want to mix in the Lu'an realm, you must do your best to do things, and you must not be selfish.
There are many kinds of Liwei, and Xie Shen is obviously more clever.
But he said that after the banquet, Xie Shen returned to the back office to rest. After a night, as soon as the day dawned, Xie Shen asked Lu to go and invite the master to discuss the matter.
Tongzhi knew that this kind of assistant official had no sense of existence at all when the official was strong, so he had to be on call.
Xie Shen asked Li Tongzhi about some casualties and house damage in Tunliu County and Fucheng, and saw that Li Tongzhi was quite satisfied with the answer.
In fact, Li Tongzhi was too nervous at the banquet.
Xie Shen's words were obviously said to everyone, but he sat down, thinking that Xie Shen was telling him.
Therefore, when Xie Shen sent his personal entourage to invite him, Li Tongzhi still wanted to excuse his illness. It was still Pei Yun who insisted that he had to go, so he came to Governor Xie's mansion head-on.
After coming, Xie Shen asked a few questions, and Li Xiaoji answered them all truthfully. Later, he found that Xie Shen not only did not blame him, but also admired him. This made Lee Hyo-gi very proud.
No matter how he said it, he also worked hard to provide disaster relief, and now that the results of disaster relief are seen by Shangguan, how can he not be happy.
Lee Hyo-gi talked eloquently, from the earthquake to the plague, and explained in detail how he controlled the plague and how he helped the sick.
Xie Shen interrupted: "Just now Li Tongzhi said that the number of people who have contracted the epidemic has been decreasing recently? ā
Li Xiaoji nodded and said, "Yes, probably Lord Xie brought good luck when he took office." ā
Xie Shen was speechless for a while, this Li Tongzhi's ability to pat on the back is really perfect.
It stands to reason that the hotter the weather, the more rampant the plague becomes. Why is it that the weather is getting warmer and hotter, but fewer people are dying?
This doesn't make sense.
Although Xie Shen doesn't know much about medicine, he still knows some basic common sense.
There must be a demon when something happens, and this is certainly not simple.
"Li Tongzhi, can you take this official to see the infected people?"
As soon as Xie Shen's words came out, Li Xiaoji's face turned pale in an instant.
This Xie Zhifu has no problem with his brain, right? That's a plague! The plague is so dangerous, ordinary people can't hide before they have time to hide, but the old man has to move forward desperately.
It's not such a way to brush the prestige of the people!
As if seeing what Li Tongzhi was thinking, Xie Shen smiled lightly: "Li Tongzhi only needs to take his official there, and he doesn't have to go into the house." ā
Li Xiaoji breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Now the sick people in Fucheng have been placed in a broken temple on the outskirts of the city by the lower officials, and there is no contact with anyone except Langzhong. ā
Xie Shen sighed secretly. Yes, this Li Tongzhi actually knows how to isolate.
It's scary to say that infectious diseases are terrible, but it's absolutely nonsense to say that they can't be controlled.
The reason why infectious diseases were raging in ancient times was probably because of the lack of protective measures, coupled with the gathering of people in the city, the density was too large, and the disease would spread instantly if one person was infected.
How to use scientific protective measures to protect the epidemic, the epidemic can be absolutely controlled.
Li Tongzhi might as well ask someone to take some cotton cloth and cut it into squares, and sew strips of cloth at the corners. When you go to the broken temple with the official, everyone has to wear it. ā
Although medical masks cannot be made now, simple masks can still be made.
The sources of infectious diseases are nothing more than a few, one is airborne and the other is waterborne.
Regardless of water transmission, if it is airborne, masks can play a good role in protection.
Although Li Xiaoji didn't understand why Governor Xie did this, in line with the principle that what the prefect said was right, he resolutely surrendered his hand and said: "The next official will do it." ā
......
......
However, it was said that Li Xiaoji ordered people to cut dozens of simple masks and sent them to Xie Shen for inspection by the Xie Governor's Mansion.
Xie Shen nodded with satisfaction: "After a while, you will tie the mask behind your head so that it covers your mouth and nose, so that the epidemic qi will not invade your body." ā
Li Xiaoji followed Xie Shen's example and tied a simple mask to his mouth and nose, feeling that it was a little difficult to breathe.
"Master Xie, Xia Guan feels a little out of breath."
Xie Shen laughed: "At the beginning, it was like this, there was a process of adaptation. Li Tongzhi will be fine after adapting. ā
Xie Shen and Li Xiaoji gathered their men in the government and left the city.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, Li Tongzhi's response speed was quite fast, and he immediately ordered people to move the infected people to the broken temple outside the city. Except for Lang Zhong to deliver medicine for patients to decoction on their own, others are not allowed to come into contact with him.
Even so, people continued to get sick, and it was not until a few days before Xie Shen came to Lu'an Mansion that he got better.
In ancient times, when the level of medical care was low, there was no way to do it. Otherwise, an infectious disease like smallpox would not have been so deadly.
Dozens of officials wearing masks surrounded Xie Zhifu and Li Tongzhi to the broken temple, and Li Xiaoji was a little embarrassed: "Lord Xie really wants to go in?" ā
Although Xie Shen said that he only needed to lead him to the ruined temple, Li Tongzhi thought about it but couldn't do it.
How can there be a prefect to inspect the work, and also know the truth of watching a play outside. If Governor Xie held a grudge and wanted to give him small shoes to wear, he had no choice.
Xie Shen nodded and said, "Naturally, I want to go in." This official is a parent official, if he doesn't know what the epidemic is, how can he preside over the treatment? ā
Li Xiaoji was a little ashamed, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is the case, Xia Guan will accompany Master Xie to go in." ā
Anyway, Lord Xie said that this mask can play a role in blocking the epidemic, what is he worried about!
Xie Shen smiled with relief: "Then let's go in together." ā
The dilapidated temples that were barren on weekdays are now crowded with sick people.
These people will be rushed here when they are found to be infected with the epidemic, and there is no help except for two pills a day. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is left to its own devices.
Xie Shen looked at these people's faces and saw that their faces were yellow, their eyes were scattered, and they looked like they were about to die, and he gasped.
Xie Shenqiang suppressed the fear in his heart, stepped forward and asked an old man in his sixties, "Old man, when did you feel sick?" What are the symptoms? ā
Since it is an epidemic, it is necessary to understand what the symptoms are, so that we can roughly infer what type of infectious disease it is.
The old man shook his head and said, "The old man felt dizzy ten days ago, and at first he thought it was due to fatigue and didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew that then the vomiting would not stop, and there would even be some blood in the stool. After inquiring around, I learned that the neighbors all had this symptom, and they were infected with the epidemic...... And then it was sent here. ā
