Chapter 68: Fighting Yama before the Ghost Gate Passes
The number of deaths in Yiliang has dropped rapidly, from 100 people a day to more than a dozen people a day, just five days, Yang Meng's epidemic prevention measures have been effective, and many people also know the purpose of the Yang family, and the previous resentment has turned into gratitude.
Yiliang Wanmin is grateful, it should be a happy thing, but Yang Meng can't be happy, in less than half a month, nearly a thousand people died in Yiliang, and the price is a bit big.
In order to find a way to treat pruritus, he has tried countless drugs, except for his own Baibaodan, which can have some effect, other drugs have no obvious effect.
Although Baibaodan has some effect, it is still no match for the overbearing itch, in addition to being able to delay for a day or two, the infected person is still a dead end, but he has suffered a few more days of sin.
The Yang family's infected knife hands have also died one after another in the past few days, and Liu Yitie can't come up with a way out of it, so he can only let the pruritus take his life one by one.
Constantly dying, Yang Meng also saw it in his eyes, but what is the plague, he knows very well that the plague that is not easy to cure in future generations with chemicals and modern medical equipment can be cured in the Qing Dynasty, then it can be considered a demon!
If you can't cure it, you can only strictly guard against it, and now he knows very well what the situation is, the means of epidemic prevention are just blocking the way of the spread of the plague, and once the epidemic prevention stops, the plague will break out, and it is impossible to find the root cause, this so-called itch disease, which has been raging in Yunnan since the Qianlong period, has been spread for nearly a hundred years, and it is impossible to let yourself dig the roots.
Exterminating rats and fleas to strengthen epidemic prevention is what Yang Meng can do, but the cost of epidemic prevention is too great, and it can be done in a short time.
After thinking about it, the best way is to strengthen hygiene habits, wine vinegar, herbs, these can be broken, Baibu, salt, quicklime people should be able to afford to use, as long as the hygiene habits are strengthened, it should be possible to stop epidemic prevention.
If the tide is blocked, the rest depends on the people of Yiliang, and maintaining good hygiene habits can effectively cut off the way of the spread of the plague. On weekdays, if you pay close attention to the extermination of rats and fleas, it should not be a big problem.
Let Qin Ziqi, who stayed by his side, write a notice and find Jiang Yuanji to stamp the big seal of the county government, and Yang Meng, in the name of Yiliang Tuan, spread the matter of how to prevent and control the plague in Yiliang.
Yang Sanye blocked the fatal itch disease, there is no doubt about this, many people also believe Yang Meng's statement, but there are still some who regard this matter as a deaf ear.
The recurrence of the plague, in Yang Meng's expectations, most of the people who acted cautiously according to the notices were spared, but those who were slacking off paid the price of blood, one repeated and nearly a thousand lives, Yang Sanye's words, I can't believe it, I don't believe it! Itchy daddy will look for you, this is the original words of the people of Yiliang, the lesson bought back with human life.
For nearly a month, Yiliang's plague, with Yang Meng's huge investment, was finally controlled, although it was still dying, but the number of more than a dozen a day was already acceptable.
The outbreak of the plague has a time period, at most three or five months, and this time the plague will stop, as long as you develop a good habit, you can stop the ravages of the plague.
The cost of nearly 500,000 yuan a month also made Yang Meng a little unbearable, it cost more than 100,000 yuan to buy the corpse and burn it, more than 50,000 knife hands died in the Yang family, and it was 50,000 or 60,000, and the living person gave 500 taels, more than 40,000 and nearly 50,000 yuan, and bought medicinal herbs, wine, vinegar, and quicklime, which were also hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the scattered silver was not counted.
These expenses do not count the grain from Zhuangzi, just mung beans, Zhuangzi took out more than 100,000 catties, and the grain of loose porridge is even more numerous.
Such a big expense, it is not without benefits, this benefit is the gratitude of the people of Yiliang to the Yang family, this plague, alive in front of the eyes, how many people died in front of them, without the help of the Yang Buddha's family, I don't know how many people will die?
The situation here in Yiliang is very good, and other states and counties in Yunnan Province are unlucky, starting from Yiliang, the plague is raging in the entire Yunnan Province, these states and counties have been prevented from thousands of prevention, but they still have not prevented the epidemic of plague, and more than 10,000 deaths and injuries in more than a dozen states and counties have also made the people in these places live in fear.
After managing Yiliang, Yang Meng originally planned to go to Kunming, which is the nest of the Yang family, although Wuzhuang has moved, but Yunnan Mansion is not as good as Yiliang County, things are very difficult to do, the old man Yang Shiqin is angry, and he no longer invests in epidemic prevention.
Now that the old man is already a serious court official, the civil unrest in western Yunnan is intensifying, and He Changling can't stand it anymore, so he vacates the seat of the original general judge in advance.
West Yunnan is a rotten quagmire, the old man must not pass, this plague is a very good cause, the plague occurred in the elbow and armpit of Kunming, I believe that He Changling knows which end is light and which is heavy.
Yiliang Jiang Yuanji's gift post, so that the sick He Changling, grabbed the life-saving straw, I thought Yang Shiqin was messing around, but I didn't expect his method to really work, Yiliang's plague has been controlled by Yang Shiqin and others, such a big thing, Jiang Yuanji didn't dare to make up nonsense.
Recently, it is the civil unrest in western Yunnan, and the plague in Yunnan Province, He Changling was angry and fell on the **, the plague is a big thing, there are many epidemics in Yunnan, the most terrifying and deadly is pruritus, this time it is pruritus, and it happened in the heart of Yunnan, how could He Changling not get angry.
Since the 21st year of Kangxi, the 56th year of Qianlong, the 20th year of Jiaqing, and the fifth year of Daoguang, there have been major epidemics in Yunnan.
This time it's itch again, He Changling has no measures, and for nearly a hundred years, there is no good way to deal with the plague, and he can't do anything. I didn't expect Yang Shiqin to be so capable and restrain this plague.
Compared with the plague, civil unrest is a trivial matter, and how many people died in civil unrest? Pruritus is a big deal, it is tens of thousands of dead people, dead ten rooms and nine empty, dead bones everywhere.
This plague originated in Yiliang, and Yiliang also had the largest number of deaths, and other prefectures and counties in Yunnan Province also died in hundreds or thousands, which was a sign of a great epidemic.
According to Yiliang's original death, tens of thousands of people will die in the four counties and seven scattered prefectures of Yunnan Prefecture, Yiliang or Yang Shiqin made great efforts, otherwise I don't know how many people died in Lu Dao?
In case of a big epidemic sweeping Yunnan, it will really be like a dead person, the matter in western Yunnan is not in a hurry, what is urgent is the plague in Yunnan Province, this time everything is to stop the plague in Yunnan Province, and it is absolutely impossible to leave the country.
asked the Yunnan Mansion to sentence Yang Shiqin, and He Changling was not polite, and directly gave the order to block the plague.
"Lord Governor, this is not easy to do!"
The cost of the third child in Yiliang is staggering, and the entire four counties and seven scattered prefectures in Yunnan Prefecture, the Yang family is going to have old blood after a trip.
"What's the problem, you say it bluntly, now is not the time to go around the bend!"
The epidemic is too big, and if it drags on the entire Yunnan Mansion for a day, hundreds or thousands of people will die, Yang Shiqin is too ignorant, now is the time to talk about conditions!
"The cost is too great, the third child of my family is working in Yiliang, and it costs nearly 300,000 taels just to buy corpses for burning and compensating the dead, two hundred taels for one corpse, and one thousand taels for the group to die; to motivate Lian Yong to prevent the epidemic, five hundred taels per person, and spent 200,000 yuan; It cost 400,000 yuan to buy spirits, old vinegar, salt, quicklime, and various medicinal materials for epidemic prevention; The mung beans used for detoxification, my family also sold hundreds of thousands of catties in vain, and it cost more than 100,000 taels to scatter porridge and alms.
Before and after, a million hundreds of thousands of silver were scattered out, and there was no sound at all, and things in Yiliang were getting better, but they were still dead. The third child in the family pities me for being old, and personally prevents the epidemic in Yiliang's villages and farms. ”
Yang Shiqin's play is very good, the old tears on his face are full of tears, we don't care about the silver, but we can go to the village to prevent the epidemic, once you get itch, you will die.
"Oops! How can the cost be so huge? It's hard for your Yang family this time! ”
He Changling knew that the itch disease was severe, but the cost of epidemic prevention was so huge, but it was beyond Yunnan's ability to bear.
I misunderstood others, how did they do it? Ruined family and relieved of difficulties! Lian Yong is sloppy, He Changling knows the Tao, but he didn't expect that in order to prevent the epidemic, the Yang family actually made a huge price, this Yiliang plague is to be smashed back with silver!
The prevention and control of the plague is a great matter, but such a big expense, even if it squeezes out the bone marrow of He Changling, he can't take it out, a Yiliang more than one million, four counties and seven scattered prefectures in Yunnan Prefecture, this will cost more than 10 million, such a large amount of silver, open to the imperial court, that is not a door at all.
The plague must be prevented and controlled, He Changling set his sights on the Yang family, and said that the Yang family is a wealthy businessman in the southwest, and it shouldn't be a problem to give out a few million, right?
"Alas...... Lord Governor, the Yang family is also a broken family for Yiliang, first Yiliang Zhou Shiqing's field property, and then there is Minghu Academy, and the civil unrest in western Yunnan, this time for epidemic prevention, the family's cash silver has been spent, I will go back to sell the real estate, see if I can get some more silver! ”
He Changling's old thing has a good calculation, Yang Shiqin's purpose of exaggerating the cost is here, no one cares if he says less, no more and no less He Changling has to fight the Yang family's idea, expand the cost, and talk to this Yungui governor about business!
"Tuanyong has a lot of expenses there, can you reduce it a little, and then there are those things produced locally in Yunnan, directly from the government, can you reduce the cost again?"
Open source can't be done, but He Changling will throttle! It is also a waste to give the silver of Baihuahua to Tuanyong, salt, grain and rice, etc., Yunnan has it, if it doesn't work, open an official warehouse, and the salt mine Dianchi has it, and it can also be supplied for epidemic prevention first.
"We are just the head of the group, and those group warriors also spare their lives! If you don't give a big price, who will bury the corpse and burn it? Who will go to the various villages to prevent the epidemic? Money and food can be found in a way, and manpower must not be lacking, otherwise how can I be willing to let the third child go to various villages to prevent the epidemic? We're taking the lead in doing good things, or should we let the Green Camp do this? ”
What kind of joke is it to prevent and treat pruritus, just like Yang Shiqin said, it is Dou Yan Luo before the ghost gate is closed, and he is playing with his life for a living, the green camp? Counting on them? The people of Yunnan are dead, and they won't do this!
"So be it! This governor allows you the title of a green battalion and a third-grade general, and you gather the regiments of Yunnan Prefecture together to build a new battalion, which is called the epidemic prevention camp, and the special case is done, and the governor will ask for a decree, this matter can be guaranteed, and it will come down in a month or two.
But the battalion number is given to you, Tuanyong is still Tuanyong, and you have to go out by yourself for the cost, after the epidemic, if the cost of this epidemic prevention camp is too great, you can just disperse. ”
When Yang Shiqin heard this, he couldn't cry, isn't this playing with people? The bullshit Sanpin general, as long as the objects hanging in the green camp, there are no good things, Liu Guimao is a guerrilla from the third, doesn't he have to break his arm and obediently roll back to Yongchang?
The silver that the third child spent in Yiliang alone was enough to buy him one hundred and eighty green camp generals, but He Changling, an old ghost, was very cunning, and he fooled the Yang family's silver with a false name.
"My lord, I didn't just make a general judgment, let my third child be the general!"
Yang Shiqin's dissatisfaction, how could He Changling not hear it, epidemic prevention is a big deal, and he is a little sorry for what he has done, and he doesn't blame Yang Shiqin, an old man, for not speaking tastefully.
But given the hat of General Yang San, this little rabbit cub has to his tail to the sky, last time he dared to besiege the city and reason, next time he doesn't know what trouble will he cause? But the plague doesn't negotiate terms with itself, and the price has to be raised!
"Good! The matter of the Sanpin general, just give your third child, you will temporarily sign the position of Yunnan salt transport envoy here, but this thing may not be possible, I please try it! ”
Yunnan's empty salt envoy is the hat of the three products of the Eight Classics, and he has made a promise this time, and I don't know how many people will be offended, but compared with the epidemic prevention, the latter is more important, and the epidemic prevention can be directly related to his official hat!
