Chapter 215: The Source of the Plague

Seeing this, Sun Shangxiang immediately picked up a piece of fish meat, tasted it, and narrowed his eyes with joy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gong Yinglian was much more careful, first took one for Lu Lingqi, and took out the bone spurs for her, and said, "Be careful of fish bones." ”

When the maids saw that the master and the mother had eaten and moved, they each took a portion, and they were full of praise.

Feng Yao took some more pieces of fish and roasted them again.

……

Since December, Feng Yao has lived a happy life for a whole month, everything in Yuzhou is stable and calm, Xun Yu of Yingchuan, General Wen Ping and others saw that there was no opportunity, so they supported troops to guard the border of Yingchuan.

The glove factory is operating well, in addition to being able to supply the army sufficiently, the migrant workers who participated in the construction of the city and the lake are also equipped, and the excess gloves Feng Yao is sent to the army of Lu Bu and the army of Yuan Shu to be equipped one by one.

Under Feng Yao's arrangement and guidance, the territory was orderly developed for coal, copper, iron and other minerals, and a new shipyard was built, mainly to manufacture flat-bottomed boats that were convenient for transporting grain and troops, which could sail unhindered in shallow water.

If you want to get rich, build roads first

As a modern person who has traveled through the past, Feng Yao understands the importance of roads, especially in the use of war, good roads can make grain and grass more effective to reach the battlefield ahead.

The road from Ruyin to Shenxian and then to Shouchun, since Feng Yao began to attack Runan half a year ago, Zhao Yu and Zhao Si and his son have begun to build it, and now it has begun to take shape.

Another vertical road, from Suiyang in the Liang State to Qiaoxian, to the city father, and finally to Ruyin, is under construction.

Feng Yao analyzed the current strategic layout in Yuzhou.

Pingyu and Ruyin are the central points, and to the east can be extended to the state of Shouchun of his father Yuan Shu, and these three important places are almost in a straight line.

From the north-south direction: Fugou and Fule are Tuntian points. Junyi is the meeting point of the entire Kanto region and can be extended all the way to Yeyang. and then to Pingyu, also in a straight line.

Cao Yun does play an irreplaceable and important role at present. But what if there is a widespread drought? The entire transportation system will be ineffective, and according to historical facts, in the next year or two, there will be a drought in Yangzhou, and many people will starve to death!

And that's not the point! The point is the plague!

Half a month ago

Hua Tuo came to report: "Lord, there has been a plague in Runan, please take precautions!" ”

Feng Yao was taken aback, fortunately, Hua Tuo had made it clear that the plague was not in contact with it. It will not be contagious, which makes Feng Yao feel a lot of relief.

"Where is the patient now?" Feng Yao asked anxiously.

"In the hospital!" Hua Tuo said.

"Are you quarantined?" Feng Yao asked.

"Outsiders have been strictly controlled to get close to them, as long as it is well controlled, the epidemic should not spread!" Hua Tuo said.

Feng Yao was a little relieved at this time, and immediately rushed to the hospital with Hua Tuo.

There were three patients infected with the plague, two men and a woman, one of whom was an elderly man in his fifties and the other a married man in his twenties. The woman was the young man's wife.

The old man was seriously ill, his eyes and mouth were ulcerated, and a piece of skin on his neck had black sores. A breathless sound came from his throat.

The couple was fine, but they coughed weakly from time to time!

According to Hua Tuo, although the appearance of the three is somewhat different. But there are three common characteristics, the first is that it is particularly afraid of cold. The second is a headache, and the second is blood in the urine. Among them, the elderly man was more serious, and there was also a small amount of blood in the stool, and the food he ate was basically undigested.

Because the cause of death of each patient infected with the plague is different, but they all have a significant feature, that is, they are afraid of cold, and they are infectious, so they are collectively called typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases.

All three patients were covered with two thick quilts, and they were still so cold that their heads were half-sunk into the quilt.

Feng Yao didn't dare to touch the seriously ill old man, and probed the young couple's forehead with his hand, it was extremely hot! This is a high fever.

Although the fever was high, but the patient's consciousness was quite clear, the two couples had seen Feng Yao once, and knew that Feng Yao was Yuzhou Mushi, seeing that Feng Yao was not afraid of infection, he reached out and touched his forehead, and immediately moved to tears, choked up: "Envoy, save us!" ”

Feng Yao nodded and comforted: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to heal you!" ”

The young man wanted to get up and thank him, but was stopped by Feng Yao, so he thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Doctor Hua." ”

Feng Yao asked again, "How did you get the plague?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know about the little one, since I returned to Pingyu, I've been sick!" And the little ones have never been in contact with a plague patient! ”

"You're moving back from out of town?" Feng Yao was stunned for a moment, feeling that there was a problem in this, and asked anxiously.

"Yes! But this disease was contracted locally, and he didn't get it before he came. The man looked puzzled.

Hua Tuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The plague is rampant in the area from Luoyang to Chang'an, could it be that you came from there?" ”

The man nodded, "Yes, the little one fled to Luoyang because of the shortage of soldiers, and later heard that the envoy was in Yuzhou to do benevolent government, and the Spring Festival was approaching, so he returned to his hometown, but he didn't expect to come back for a day, and he fell ill!" ”

"So that's the case, that's right, you contracted the disease in Luoyang, and you came back to have a seizure!" Hua Tuo was stunned, but then frowned again, shook his head and said, "You said that you have never been in contact with other infected people, so it should not be contagious, this is strange!" ”

Feng Yao looked at the man, then at the woman, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "This couple is in exile, the diet is definitely not good, the food they eat is generally cooked, it is impossible to get sick, is it through drinking water?" ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and Feng Yao asked anxiously: "Is the water you drink outside boiled or cold?" ”

The man was stunned for a while, thinking that it doesn't matter, isn't the world all drinking cold water, but Feng Yao asked, didn't dare to answer truthfully, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded and said, "The small one is indeed the cold water to drink!" ”

The woman nodded her head in agreement.

Feng Yao asked the old man again, although the old man was seriously ill, he still heard the words of the crowd clearly, and after taking a few breaths, he said with difficulty: "The old man, like that little brother, also came back from Luoyang, and most of them usually drink cold water directly to quench their thirst. ”

Feng Yao comforted the three patients a few more words, hurriedly left the ward, washed his hands first to avoid infection, and then ordered Hua Tuo to urgently summon the various doctors in the infirmary to discuss the plague.

Each doctor expressed his own opinion, and Feng Yao found an obvious feature from the information he obtained, that is, although all patients have rotten eyes, some cough up blood, and some have black skin, all patients have gastrointestinal problems!!

"I think typhoid fever starts in the stomach! And the main source of all this is drinking water! Feng Yao said.

After Hua Tuo's careful deliberation, his eyes also became brighter, without a trace of doubt, his expression was full of surprise, and he recognized Feng Yao's point of view very much, and said loudly: "I think what you said is very correct, we have been ignoring the pollution of water sources over the years!"
