As for the plague, Duhe couldn't know anything better.

I have seen a lot of TV series and history books, and during the [***] period, his hometown was one of the hardest hit areas.

Strictly speaking, it is an infectious disease, not a plague, but the principle is the same.

As long as the characteristics of the plague are properly treated, all problems will be solved.

Du He said in a deep voice: "The reason why the plague is terrible is not because of its own symptoms, but because it is not well cared for and treated. The first point is that there must be enough doctors to allow all patients to receive the first treatment. ”

The great plagues recorded in history are often caused by man-made. This is especially true in remote areas far from the national capital.

In ancient times, when a disease broke out in a remote place, local officials could not control it, and the first thing they had to do was to spread the news to the capital, which took several months along the way. When the news arrived in the capital, it was also a question whether it could reach the emperor's ears. Although the news reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor had the heart to deal with it, it had been many months, and the specific situation was not clear. If there are one or two more corrupt officials in the DPRK and China at this time, then it can be said very unfortunately, people will die before the plague can be calmed down.

In a word, the plague is not terrible, and it cannot be treated immediately, and it is really terrible to cause the epidemic to expand.

Therefore, the first thing Du He did was to heal the patient, and it was obviously not enough for Sun Simiao to rely on Sun Simiao's life, and he also needed other doctors to be Sun Simiao's deputy to assist him in curing the epidemic.

"But you know that. We can't let the people in Jiangnan know the real situation in Suzhou, the doctor can only invite people from other places, and he must be a local famous doctor, and we can't let him know the details and publicize it. This matter will be handed over to General Su, and it is not a problem to pay more for the consultation, but if they don't come, then use a strong one, you know! Du He squinted and smiled and gave Su Dingfang a task.

Su Dingfang smiled knowingly and said, "I understand, this is on me." ”

Compared with the indecisive and forward-looking literati, the means of military generals are more suitable for this task.

"Second ......" Du He said: "Isolation, complete isolation." If we want to control the epidemic, we must stop the spread of the epidemic and control the spread of the epidemic. Only in this way can the terrifying transmission of the epidemic be suppressed. General Su, from now on, more than 10,000 people under your command will be stationed at the gate outside the city, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave Suzhou City without my permission. If someone wants to break in, they can take it and ask for it. ”

"Third, there is enough food and herbs. We are not short of food, but the medicinal herbs for 150,000 patients will be astronomical. Your Majesty is a Ming Jun, let him know the movements here, he will spare no effort to support us, but the far water can't save the near fire, and when the supplies from the imperial court are delivered, it will take a month at the earliest, and by that time, the daylily will be cold. We have to solve this problem of medicinal herbs by ourselves. ”

"Fourth, self-prevention awareness. The epidemic is extremely contagious, and we must pay attention to our own safety while taking care of and treating them. lest a person not be saved, it is not good for him to fall into it first. These four points are crucial and indispensable. Before Dr. Sun arrives, we must make all preparations. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "The problem of medicinal materials will be handled by me, and as for self-prevention, it will be handed over to Wang Tingshi, as for how to do it, I will tell you some basic common sense, you immediately recruit the survivors in the city to use, and at this time, regardless of whether the other party is the eldest lady or what kind of son, give me odd jobs." Hoard food, and if they don't do it, they won't give it to them. At times like these, they don't have a choice. Those who really did not listen to the persuasion were beaten and thrown into a cell for obstructing official duties. ”

At this moment, what Du He wants is to save people, use all the strength he can use to save people, and whoever hinders him is his enemy.

Wang Guanghong opened his mouth and wanted to speak.

Du He knew what he wanted to say, and he also knew that he was a little out of line with the rules, but compared with the 150,000 lives, the so-called "rules" were not worth mentioning, so he waved his hand directly and said: "I will bear all the consequences, you just need to do it, don't mother-in-law...... Ah, yes! ”

He suddenly remembered something and said, "All food and water in the city are not allowed to be eaten or drunk indiscriminately." I will order the opening of the Su Cang, and we will only eat the grain from the Su Cang, and the water will also be transported from the canal outside the city. ”

The Sucang in Duhe's mouth is a large granary near Suzhou. Food is a national resource and is indispensable. The Tang Dynasty set up granaries in every prefecture and county to store grain for emergencies.

These grains are basically used for war or natural disasters, and they must not be used rashly, but Du He is an inspector of Jiangnan and has the right to call emergency supplies when disasters come. Opening a warehouse to release grain is a matter of his words.

Wang Guanghong was puzzled, Du He's first few points were in line with the actual situation, one by one was reasonable, he was convinced, but then he didn't understand this, and asked: "What does the epidemic have to do with food?" ”

Du He said solemnly: "It's a big problem! I believe that there is no epidemic that can infect 150,000 people in a single night, absolutely not. It must have been the illness caused by what these 150,000 people ate, or something, and we can't follow in the footsteps. The best proof of this is that you are still standing in front of me, and if the epidemic could really spread at a rate of 150,000 people overnight, you would have been one of them a long time ago. Therefore, you should never eat anything in the city, not even touch it. ”

Wang Guanghong also felt reasonable, and sighed: "Adults know a lot. ”

"It's common sense!" Du He replied casually, but his heart was full of doubts, feeling that the epidemic of the plague was too sudden, too fast, and unbelievable.

He shook his head and didn't think much more.

Su Dingfang took the order and let people guard Suzhou, and went to various places to "invite" local famous doctors.

Du He told Wang Guanghong some ways to prevent the spread of the plague, and asked him to prepare hot water 24 hours a day, cover his mouth and nose with a towel soaked in hot water, and use hot water to burn his hands after entering and leaving the patient's house to make physical contact with the patient, etc., and told Wang Guanghong everything he knew and thought, and asked him to prepare.

Du He himself found Huangfu Haohua and asked him about the medicinal herb merchants in Jiangnan.

At the beginning, Du He asked them to investigate the rich people in Jiangnan, and there should be some records of medicinal herb dealers.

Sure enough, as he expected, Du He just spoke, and Huangfu Haohua gave him a list, and there were four people on the list, and they almost monopolized more than seventy percent of the medicinal material business in Jiangnan.

"Xie Fan, You Jing, He Tian, Qi Xiang" Du He read the names of the four people, looked at their information and said: "These four people are sworn brothers?" ”

Huangfu Haohua said: "According to the investigation, 20 years ago, the world was in turmoil, and their family was a local tyrant, who took advantage of the troubled times to gather some people and horses to smuggle medicinal materials as a business and make a fortune. After the unification of the world, they gave up smuggling and opened a pharmacy in Jiangnan openly and openly engaged in the legitimate business of medicinal materials. At the beginning, they killed all the people who robbed them of business, so no one fought with them, and the business became more and more prosperous. If you want to get a large number of medicinal herbs, you can only start from them. However, the son must be prepared, I have known that they are the kind of businessmen who are annihilated to the bones, and they regard money as their life. It's not easy to pluck the hair out of them. Once they learned that there was an epidemic in Suzhou, they would use their means to reduce the price of inventory, which would be inevitable. ”

Du He's eyes flashed fiercely, and he sneered: "Since ancient times, peers have been enemies, what is the relationship between the four of them?" Who is the boss among them? ”

Huangfu Haohua replied: "It's hard to say, as Gongzi said, peers have been enemies since ancient times. There will be some friction between them from time to time, but as long as someone intends to get involved in the medicinal material industry in Jiangnan, they will work together to suppress them as soon as possible until they are driven out of Jiangnan. Because of this, the thousands of pharmacies in the huge Jiangnan only occupy two floors of the medicinal materials market. Of the four of them, You Jing was the oldest, Xie Fan was the second, Qi Xiang was again, and He Tian was the youngest. But Qi Xiang is the most intelligent military advisor between them, all ideas are up to him, and the wealth of the family is far above the rest. ”

Du He smiled calmly, "It turned out to be a cooperative relationship between interests!" Haohua, if you let people hold my name post, it means that early in the morning, I invited the four of them to dinner at Wuxi No. 1 Restaurant. ”

Wuxi, Qi House.

After receiving Du He's name, Qi Xiang invited the other three brothers over as soon as possible.

Qi Xiang looked at his three brothers and smiled hypocritically, took the name card given by Du He in his hand and played with it, and said, "Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, I believe you have all received the name card of Du He's little guy like me!" ”

The three of them nodded in unison.

You Jing looked like a martial artist, but he was bold and careful, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the news we received is true, and there is indeed an epidemic in Suzhou." At present, it seems that the situation is not serious, but as long as there is no support from medicinal herbs, I believe that more and more people will be infected with the disease! ”

He had a gloating expression on his face, only caring how many people would get sick and how many would buy his medicine. As for the value of life, it is all floating clouds in his eyes.

Qi Xiang squinted and smiled: "The eldest brother thought of going with the younger brother again this time." I have decided to hoard herbs and sell them at three times the price when the epidemic spreads. This is a godsend, second brother and fourth, don't miss this opportunity. ”

He Tian is also a greedy person, so he agreed.

Only Xie Fan was a little timid, quite jealous of Du He's existence, and worried: "I naturally want to make money, but I'm a little worried about Du He." It is said that this guy is not easy to deal with! ”

Qi Xiang sneered: "It's just a baby, what can't you rest assured." We are legitimate businessmen, and if we don't sell medicinal herbs, what can he do with me. Ming said that we went to the banquet together, and we all listened to me, and I kept him without saying a word. If you want medicinal herbs, you can only buy them with money. ”
