Mr. Qi instructed his apprentice to bring over a batch of alcohol and quicklime, and carefully sprayed it inside and out in the backyard.

Lin Ruan also carefully washed his hands and face with alcohol, changed into clean clothes, and then followed Chen Zhizhou to the yamen.

Because Lin Ruan came into contact with a sick child, he wrapped himself in a cloth so that only a pair of eyes remained.

Not long after, other officials in Qingzhou City also rushed over, and all of them had a look like they were facing a great enemy.

A cadre of officials was in a hurry, and they didn't know what to do.

Lin Ruan looked like a mess, and couldn't help but shake his head.

These officials are really not very good at dealing with emergencies.

I couldn't stand it anymore, Lin Ruan coughed twice: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a few suggestions, you can listen to them." ”

After having the previous method of exchanging work for food, these officials had some recognition of Lin Ruan's ability, and when they heard her say this, they hurriedly asked her what her advice was.

Lin Ruan didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Just now I have asked those children about the people they have been in contact with recently and the places they have been, so the top priority is to find a way to inform the people first, and they must pay close attention to their physical condition, and once there are signs of fever, report to the yamen immediately." The yamen will plan a place to house suspected cases and concentrate on observation and treatment. ”

Smallpox is a disease that occurs very quickly once it is infected. If you don't find a way to notify you quickly, once this disease breaks out, it will really not be a joke.

"The scope of this notice must be wide and fast, because no one knows where the people these children will go to during this time, so several nearby states and counties must be notified in place."

"Then prepare a large amount of quicklime and sprinkle it on the place where the refugees live, that person is likely to be the first to be infected, and during this time, he is likely to have come into contact with other refugees, so he has to send a few Lang Zhong to the refugees to investigate. In addition, the homes of the refugees have been sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

"All the patients who have been infected gathered together, gathered a group of Langzhong, and found a way to treat them. If the patient dies, he must be cremated immediately. Finally, the city was ordered to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the city at will. I haven't thought of anything else yet, so I'll add it when I think about it. ”

After Chen Zhizhou and the others listened to her words, they finally found the direction, immediately divided the work, and took their own actions, and Chen Zhizhou, as the "commander-in-chief", stayed in the yamen.

After arranging the various officials, Chen Zhizhou sat down and beat his legs, and when he looked back, Lin Ruan didn't have too much panic, and asked out of curiosity: "Xiangjun is not afraid at all?" You've seen those children with your own hands just now, and this kind of sinister abnormality is likely to be sick if you encounter it. ”

Lin Ruan was not frightened at all, and even took off the cloth that served as a mask, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "I'm afraid that if it can cure the disease, then this disease will be extinct long ago." ”

Chen Zhizhou sighed: "If this disease really breaks out on a large scale, I'm afraid ...... It's a small thing to lose my official hat, but how can the thousands of people in Qingzhou be good? ”

Chen Zhizhou is a good official, although there are some minor problems in the officialdom, but he has always stood the test on the big picture, and at least ninety percent of what he said was sincere.

Lin Ruan saw that he was worried like that, put down the teacup, put the cloth back on his face, and clicked his fingers on the table: "Lord Chen, don't worry too much, I have a way to deal with this smallpox disease." ”

Chen Zhizhou's eyes suddenly lit up: "Can the townsman cure this smallpox?" ”

After finishing speaking, his eyes dimmed again: "Don't laugh at the townsman, this is smallpox." ”

Lin Ruan glanced at him with a smile: "Lord Chen doesn't believe in my method? ”

Chen Zhizhou didn't speak, but his eyes said it all.

Lin Ruan didn't argue, just stood up and walked out.

"Xiangjun, where are you going?" Chen Zhizhou hurriedly stood up and chased a few steps, "You have been in contact with a smallpox patient, don't be careless." ”

Lin Ruan waved his hand: "Don't worry, you won't let people touch me." ”

Back in the house, Lin Ruan immediately instructed Green Calyx to let her lead people to start making masks and gloves.

The mask is made with several layers of gauze sandwiched with a layer of cotton, which is made slightly thicker, so that it can also be effectively filtered. The gloves are sewn with sheepskin, which is strong and wear-resistant.

After it was done, Lin Ruan also asked people to send a set to the yamen, and asked Chen Zhizhou to quickly find someone to do this, it is best to mobilize the masses to do it together, and then popularize it to the masses.

After getting the mask and gloves, Lin Ruan arranged for several people, all of whom put on these equipment, and set off to find the cow with the pox.

Smallpox was indeed an incurable disease in ancient times. And it was once called "the largest genocide of mankind" by historians, with hundreds of millions of deaths.

At present, the total population of Dazhou is only two or three hundred million. If it really breaks out, it will not be too much to destroy the country.

However, Lin Ruan was not in a hurry.

Because she has the trump card of treating and preventing smallpox, and that is cowpox.

Lin Ruan didn't know much about the origin of this cowpox, but this did not prevent her from knowing the effect of cowpox.

Therefore, the top priority is to find the cattle that are suffering from pox, and then collect the vaccinia virus and transplant it to humans.

It is not difficult to find cows with acne, but it is not so easy to make people accept that cowpox can cure diseases.

After all, this kind of thing was unheard of to the ancients.

Lin Ruan was sitting in the living room, planning how to spread the word that cowpox can cure smallpox and let the people accept it, when he suddenly heard a commotion and the sound of the door being slammed.

The little guy rushed in with a rolling belt, so anxious that he couldn't speak: "Big ...... Big girl, someone outside is banging on the door and letting you out. ”

Lin Zhong and the others also heard the movement and ran out to check the situation: "What's wrong?" ”

The little girl swallowed his saliva and said, "There are a lot of people from outside, saying that it is someone from our house who brought smallpox to the city, and asked the eldest girl to go out and give them an explanation." ”

Lin Zhong's face turned pale, and he hurriedly grabbed Lin Ruan: "You can't go!" ”

Smallpox is an incurable disease, and if Lin Ruan goes, those people may not do anything.

"Dad, everyone has already come to the door, if I don't go out, I'm afraid things will be even more ugly. Don't worry, I'll go ahead and take a look, it'll be fine. ”

At this time, hiding will not solve the problem.

But Lin Ruan was even more puzzled, it was just a short time after dawn, and the people in the city probably had just received the news, and how did the smallpox that was first discovered in her house leak out?

Could it be those officials?

Lin Ruan's eyes lit up, and he smelled the smell of conspiracy in this matter.
