Wei Yan came here, although he only met Zhang Ji twice, he could say that Zhang Ji went to the north, not because of how clever his eloquence was, but because some of the treatment skills he showed aroused Zhang Zhongjing's strong desire for knowledge, and because he mentioned that there might be a great plague in the north, which completely aroused Zhang Zhongjing's sense of responsibility as a doctor.

After Zhang Zhongjing returned to the county government from the inn, he hung the official seal above the lobby, and then left a letter to Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha, to the effect that because he was going to find someone to confirm the medical Tao, he could only resign from the errand of the Linxiang County Order for the time being, if Han Xuan could wait, then he would come back in the future to do this county order, if Han Xuan was unwilling to wait, he would grant the official seal to others, and he would never complain.

At this time, it was a troubled time, and it happened from time to time that officials hung up their seals and left, and Zhang Ji gave Han Xuan such a play, which was also in line with his character. Zhang Zhongjing has never been an official fan, if it weren't for the need to have a decent identity to support his family, he would have concentrated on the art of medicine and Taoism, instead of only sitting in the county hall on the first and fifteenth days of each month to diagnose the people.

Because he was worried that the people would stay, after settling his family, Zhang Ji quietly left the county seat with Wei Yan in a carriage, and then came to a ferry port by the Xiangshui outside the city. There was already a passenger boat arranged by Wei Yan here, and the captain and pulp man on board were also trustworthy people. Zhang Ji boarded the boat with Wei Yan, and then followed the Xiangshui past Dongting Lake and Yunmengze, and then entered the Yangtze River. When passing through the Jiangxia section of the Yangtze River waterway, Wei Yan showed his identity in the army, this section of water is just under the jurisdiction of Huang Zu, and Huang Jie, as the son of Huang Zu, is naturally very easy to use.

The boat continued to sail down the river, and when it passed through the Yangzhou section of the channel, it sailed on the north shore, which was still in the sphere of influence of Huang Zukongzhì, so it was still unobstructed. It wasn't until the boat passed the Spring Valley that it entered Sun Jian's sphere of influence. There are often sentinel boats cruising on the river, but passenger boats passing by are not forbidden. Wei Yan used silver money to open the way, and after sending several groups of Dongwu sailors who boarded the ship temporarily, he finally escorted Hua Tuo safely to Guangling in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Although Guangling was still controlled by the Chen family, it did not dare to openly oppose it, and the Military Intelligence Department had a small stronghold here, which was hung in the name of Jicheng Commercial Bank, and its main task was to monitor Sun Jian's forces south of the Yangtze River.

Wei Yan did not go ashore, but only informed the person in charge of the joint in Guangling City to come overnight to take Zhang Ji into the city, and wait until the handover was completed. He quietly left, no one knowing where he would go next.

However, it was said that a few days after Zhang Ji left Linxiang, the strange old man who had come to the county government for diagnosis that day suddenly came to thank Zhang Ji with a lot of gifts. When he heard that Zhang Ji had gone with the seal, he only stomped his feet with regret.

It turned out that the old man's name was Shen Huai, and he was also a doctor who had been practicing medicine for many years, and he came to consult Zhang Ji that day, not to test Zhang Ji's medical skills, but to really encounter a heart disease. Shen Huai is over seventy years old. But he had no children, and he was sad all day long, and he couldn't eat, or sleep. Slowly, anxiety became ill. That day, he came to ask Zhang Ji to help see the disease, and Zhang Ji had already guessed the identity of the person who came, but in order to take care of the old man's face, he didn't say anything. Instead, he prescribed a very absurd prescription, which was the multigrain prescription.

After Shen Huai took the prescription home, he asked the family to make the pills made from the whole grain noodles. Hanging under the eaves, everyone pointed to this pill and ridiculed Zhang Zhongjing. When his relatives came to see him, he smiled and said, "Look! This is the prescription that Zhang Zhongjing prescribed to me. Who has ever seen whole grains cure diseases? Joke! Joke! ”

When his friends came to see him, he also smiled and said, "Look! This is the prescription that Zhang Zhongjing prescribed to me, who can eat five catties of noodles in one meal, it's really funny! Comical! ”

When Lang Zhong, who was traveling with him, came to see him, he smiled and said, "Look! This is the prescription that Zhang Zhongjing prescribed to me. I've been sick for decades, and I've never heard of it, haha! Ha ha! ”

The old guy only thought that this thing was ridiculous, and as a result, he left all his worries behind, and before he knew it, this heart disease was actually alleviated. After he realized that this was an absurd prescription deliberately prescribed by Zhang Ji, and the purpose was just to make himself happy, Shen Huai made up his mind to pass on the medical experience he had accumulated in his life to Zhang Ji.

If it weren't for Wei Yan coming out to intercept the peace, and it would have developed according to the normal rhythm, Zhang Zhongjing would have said to Shen Huai: "We are Langzhong, just to benefit the people, get rid of illness and prolong life, Mr. has no children, aren't we young people all your children?" Why worry about having no successor? Now that Zhang Ji has left, and he doesn't know when he will return, Shen Huai can only leave with regret.

When Zhang Ji in the south was still on the way, Hua Tuo in the north was finally urged to Yecheng by Liu He in succession with several letters.

"Divine doctor, this time there is really a very important matter to discuss with you face-to-face, don't blame the kid for urging him." As soon as Liu He saw Hua Tuo, he confessed to the old gentleman, for fear that the divine doctor would be unhappy, and then affect the next major events.

"Gongzi is strict, if I knew that you were going to find me to come to Yecheng in the near future, I would not have agreed to Zhao Zhoumu to go to Liaozhou in person, and only sent a few disciples over." Hua Tuo has always regarded Liu He as the biggest backer of promoting medical Taoism, and has no complaints about Liu He's urgent summons.

After some greetings, Liu He expressed his worries.

After Hua Tuo heard this, his face became stern. "After the catastrophe, there is often a great epidemic, Gongzi does not hesitate to transport tens of millions of stones of grain to save the people of the world, if the victims who finally survived were killed by the plague, it is really a shame that can never be erased in the hearts of our generations!"

Liu He picked up a "Health and Epidemic Prevention Bill" that had been drafted and handed it to Hua Tuo. "Sir, this is the decree I personally drafted for the whole people to fight the epidemic, and I also ask you to check it and see what is missing and needs to be revised."

Hua Tuo opened the title page of the bill and saw that it read: The epidemic is ruthless, and it has devoured tens of millions of Li people in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, all because the law of confrontation is not essential. In dealing with epidemic diseases, it is necessary not only to know the types and causes of epidemic diseases, but also to educate all the people to master the basic knowledge of hygiene and epidemic prevention and develop good hygiene habits......

This passage is not brilliant in writing, with a typical Liu He style, in which the words "all the people", "health and epidemic prevention", "knowledge" and other words and phrases are also Liu He's exclusive words, although fresh, but people who see it can easily understand the meaning that Liu He wants to express.

"Chapter 1, Classification of Diseases Currently Circulating in Various Places, Table Xiàn Symptoms and Their Transmission Routes."

"Chapter 2, General Practices and Hygienic Practices for Epidemic Prevention."

"Chapter 3, Manifestations and Countermeasures in the Early Stages of the Epidemic."

"Chapter 4, Enforcement Measures and Countermeasures in the Aftermath of Large-scale Outbreaks."

……

"Chapter 10, Programs and Plans for the Popularization of Health and Epidemic Prevention Knowledge for the Whole People."

Hua Tuo carefully read the results of Liu He's half-month effort and combined with the experience of the two lives, word by word, and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of admiration in his heart. Hua Tuo couldn't imagine how Liu He, a hero who aspired to the world, had the energy and ability to write such a popular, simple, and practical health and epidemic prevention plan, although this bill was still a draft, Hua Tuo had no doubt that as long as all localities implemented this law in accordance with it, at least seventy percent of them were sure to stop the plague from raging.

"Childe, this bill is very detailed and simple to implement, but some of its provisions will conflict with the folk customs of various places, and may be resisted and revolted by the people in those places."

"Please also tell me more about the regulations."

"For example, in this place, 'all households or villages where the epidemic is found must be immediately isolated, and those who have died of infection must be cremated and buried deeply', the people of the country pay attention to the safety of entering the earth, and they regard the remains of their relatives as more important than their lives. In addition, some remote areas also believe in some strange doctrines, they either buried their people in the sky or water, which also has a clear conflict of cremation and deep burial. According to Childe's analysis, the incineration and deep burial of the corpses infected with the epidemic is an extremely important epidemic prevention measure, and if the cremation law cannot be implemented, it is afraid that it will strictly affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the epidemic prevention law. ”

Liu He agreed with Hua Tuo's analysis, and said with a calm face: "Cremation must be resolutely implemented!" If there is resistance, it can only be solved by violent means, and I cannot sit idly by and watch the plague spread, let alone have the time and patience to explain it to everyone. ”

"Have you ever thought that the implementation of the epidemic prevention law is a benevolent government that wins the hearts of the people, but if you end up using violent means to cause the people's resentment to boil, or even bloodshed, wouldn't your hard work be in vain?"

Although the divine doctor does not ask about politics, the words he utters are thought-provoking and full of philosophy.

Liu He asked embarrassedly, "Then what should I do?" ”

"I wonder how much Gongzi knows about the way the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Jiao acted?" Hua Tuo suddenly asked inexplicably.

Liu He thought for a while, and then replied: "Zhang Jiao originally called himself a 'great sage and good teacher', serving the way of Huang and Lao, wantonly raising disciples, kneeling and worshipping the people, and using the charm water spell to heal the people, and the sick were quite healed, and the people believed him. Later, when the incident occurred, there was a thunderstorm in Bazhou, with more than one million responders, causing a catastrophe, and the remnants of the evil still exist today, and Zhang Yan of Montenegro is one of the largest forces. ”

Hua Tuo said for Liu and Anhe: "Zhang Jiao pretended to fool the people with Huang Lao's order, which is hateful, but if he doesn't have some real ability to heal the sick, I'm afraid he won't be able to stir up so many people." In my many years of experience as a medical practitioner in various places, if there is a doctrine that influences and influences the people to believe that even after the cremation of the body of a loved one, the soul can still go to a place of happiness, then people will not obstruct the cremation method, and they will even be happy to see the remains of their relatives buried in the fire. ”

After listening to the words of the divine doctor, Liu He secretly sighed in his heart, feeling that Hua Tuo was really to the point, at this time, the people were ignorant, if they could realize their ideas with the help of religious means, not only would it not cause turmoil, but it could unite people's hearts.

It's just that religion is like a dose of spiritual opium in human society, once it is contaminated, it cannot be stopped.

Should we support a new denomination? Liu He suddenly fell into deep thought. (To be continued......)
