Chapter 69 Clearing the Epidemic

Now, the source of the plague has been cleaned up, and the perpetrators of the conspiracy behind it have been brought to justice, and as for whether the perpetrator will have accomplices, the line has also been broken with the death of the perpetrator, so the investigation can only be concluded first.

Three days later, the construction of the required steam baths in Yongcheng has been completed, and a total of twelve have been built, all of which were built according to the drawing standards given by Luo Qing.

So, the whole city began to work on cleaning up the epidemic.

The City Lord's Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion followed Luo Qing's requirements to clear the epidemic from four aspects.

The first, and most urgent, aspect is to have all patients take a steam bath.

Each steam room is divided into two floors, one on the ground level, which is for the plague patients to pass through, and there are many vents in the walls and floor to allow steam to pass out.

The second layer is underground, this floor is specially used for steaming medicine, and a special steaming facility is built inside, all the medicinal materials are mixed with water and put into the facility, and then the city lord's mansion will specially find dozens of powerful fire cultivators to burn the fire uninterruptedly.

Under the scorching fire of the facility, the water will soon boil, generating steam, and the medicinal power of the herbs will also be emitted in the boiling water, and then mixed with water vapor, which will be directly transmitted to the first layer through the air outlet.

When the water vapor in the room is thick to a certain extent, the doors of the twelve steam baths are opened.

At this time, all those who were afflicted with the plague only had to walk in from one end of the steaming room, and then walk out at the other end two miles later, and this process came down, and the people inhaled enough medicine to have a healing effect.

The effect is indeed very ideal, after the steam bath, many people have recovered a lot of spirit after half a day, and their complexion has gradually become bloody, and many people who have been dying have also seen hope.

The second aspect is that while giving the patients a steam bath, the City Lord's Mansion also summoned many people and asked them to unify the corpses that appeared in the entire Yongcheng according to Luo Qing's request, and then burn them.

People who have died of the plague cannot be buried directly, because when the buried corpse decomposes, the plague will spread again through the air or other means, and only the burning of the corpse can completely eliminate the plague and prevent other animals from being infected.

The third aspect is disinfection, there is no better way to disinfect than modern times in ancient times, so Luo Qing suggested that the city lord's mansion purchased a lot of vinegar, and Luo Qing planned to use the method of steaming vinegar to carry out a thorough disinfection of all corners of Yongcheng.

Luo Qing has memories of his previous life, in fact, he clearly remembers that the doctor told him that the effect of using steamed vinegar to disinfect is very small.

But in this era, there is no better way, he can only try, but he doesn't just use the method of steaming vinegar.

After thinking about it, Luo Qing also added a disinfection method, even if it was by incinerating drugs, to smoke the streets and alleys.

Luo Qing used realgar, orpiment, and dansha and then mixed more than ten flavored medicinal herbs, and asked the city lord's mansion to arrange for people to burn them in every corner of Yongcheng once in the morning and once in the evening, so that the smoke could reach every corner of Yongcheng.

Each household has also been asked to disinfect every room in their own home.

The rest is the fourth aspect, that is, soup kitchen, Luo Qing asked the city lord's mansion to arrange people to boil a large amount of medicinal porridge, and set up many soup kitchens in Yongcheng.

These porridges are mainly set up for patients who have passed the steam bath, and they can drink a bowl of medicinal porridge after passing the steam bath.

The medicinal porridge is mainly used for detoxification, these people are plague patients, and a lot of toxins have already accumulated in the body, and they need to be discharged as soon as possible, and the medicinal porridge plays this role.

However, it is precisely because the people have carried out detoxification that the entire Yongcheng has been stinky for many days.

The steam bath room works non-stop all day and all night, and in the second floor of the steam bath room, the water is delivered, the medicine is dispensed, and the fire is fired, in short, everyone rotates with each other, and they do not stop working for a moment.

More than 10 million patients also shuttled in the steam bath room non-stop, and even some patients who had not recovered after the steam bath had a second steam bath again to absorb more medicinal power at Luo Qing's mention.

Medicinal materials from the outside world are also being sent to Yongcheng in a steady stream, and the entire Yongcheng has entered a busy stage.

That's it, one day, two days, three days... In ten days, many patients began to recover, and those who had been cured, after receiving the call, also joined the camp to do what they could for those in need.

Yongcheng, which was originally lifeless, can now be described as a place of people, full of life.

After another 10 days, 70 percent of the patients have recovered, and the remaining 20 percent or so of the patients are also recovering.

After another ten days, the sick in Yongcheng had been completely cured, and the whole Yongcheng was in a state of cheering, and at this moment, the city lord announced an order, that is, to open the city gates, so that those outside the city could have a home.

As soon as this order came, the entire Yongcheng City became lively again, and the whole city cheered.

However, at the suggestion of Luo Qing, the city lord also announced that after opening the city gate, all people who enter the city will also need to go through a steam bath.

This was done to prevent people entering the city from being infected by some potential plague virus that had not been completely cleaned up, allowing the plague to break out again among the unsick.

After another half a month, the people who had been staying outside the city returned to the city, and of course, those who had fled to other cities had to wait for their families to inform themselves.

Soon, Yongcheng returned to its former prosperity, many shops have begun to open during the day, and at night, the streets and alleys are full of flowers, lights, and lively night markets, a prosperous scene.

After all this is over, it is natural to have a celebration party, Luo Qing naturally received an invitation, and what followed is naturally Hongyun, as the steward of Yongcheng Tianxianglou, it can be regarded as Hongyun's recommendation of Luo Qing to have the later method of curing the plague, and he is naturally also invited.

Because he was invited to accompany Luo Qing together, Hongyun also deliberately showed off in front of Hongxia, so angry that Hongxia also gritted her teeth, but fortunately, under Qi Lian'er's persuasion, Hongxia did not go crazy.

The celebration banquet also invited representatives of the major forces in Yongcheng, because they have also made a lot of efforts for Yongcheng recently.

The celebration banquet was held in the central square of Yongcheng, which was large enough to accommodate two or three million people.

And this celebration banquet is not so much a celebration banquet, but a banquet for all people, and it is not only the meritorious people of Yongcheng who are invited to be present this time, but also the people of all families.

Of course, because Yongcheng has a large population, not every ordinary person can be invited, and the central square can accommodate up to 3 million people, so every household in the city will be invited to the banquet as a representative.

In fact, just after the epidemic, there was no need to hold any celebration banquet, but the city lord insisted on holding it, in fact, he had his purpose, that is, he wanted the people of Yongcheng to know who their great savior was.

Another reason is to use this feast to increase Luo Qing's influence in Yongcheng, so that it may be much more convenient to promote Luo Qing's mother to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors.

After Luo Qing's influence grows, he may not be allowed to promote that incident at all, and some people in the Li family may take the initiative to let Li Meng recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, because some people must also want to hug Luo Qing's thigh.

The city lord suddenly stood up and tapped the cup in his hand with chopsticks.

"Ahem... Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. So everyone fell silent, and the city lord said to everyone attending the banquet: "This time, the plague in Yongcheng is serious, and millions of people have died under the plague. ”

"Because all the victims were burned together, and their ashes had already been mixed together, in order to facilitate the memorial service, the city lord's palace would build a cemetery for these people for each family to pay their respects. ”

Hearing that so many people had died, everyone present at this time was depressed, and some even cried bitterly, and everyone could understand the feeling of losing their loved ones, so many people comforted each other.

Then the city lord continued: "The deceased relatives have passed away, so those who are still alive should live better, and live with the deceased relatives to live a more wonderful life." ”

The city lord paused because he was a little excited, and after a moment he continued: "This time we were able to successfully defeat the plague, thanks to a great savior, it was he who developed a cure for the plague, so that many of us survived this disaster, he is the young man next to me, his name is Luo Qing. ”

Hearing this, all the people looked at Luo Qing, and they all cast grateful glances, but Luo Qing was a little unnatural at this time, this was the first time that so many people looked at him.

At this time, the city lord continued: "Little Brother Luo Qing is actually half of Yongcheng, because his mother was born in Yongcheng, but because of some hidden circumstances for more than ten years, his mother was forced to leave Yongcheng. ”

"Which family is it? would do such a thing, so that Luo Qing's mother can't go back to home. At this time, people have begun to talk about it, and some people have even begun to hold grievances for Luo Qing's mother.

"Actually, speaking of that matter, my City Lord's Mansion is also a little responsible. At this time, the voice of the city lord remembered again, looked at the people present, and said: "Little brother Luo Qing is the son of Li Meng, and everyone must have heard of Li Meng's matter, because of the marriage contract between her and my son, so the Li family expelled her from the house." ”

Speaking of this, everyone remembered that Li Meng, and the city lord personally said this matter, in fact, he didn't feel good, the city lord continued: "Although after that incident, my city lord's mansion didn't plan to settle accounts with the Li family, but for the sake of face, it didn't stop them from expelling Li Meng from the house, this is our city lord's mansion can't live with Li Meng." ”

Speaking of this, the city lord and his son faced Luo Qing and bowed deeply.

"No, don't be like this, no one was right or wrong back then, if you really want to say who was wrong, it was also the fault of some people in the Li family with ulterior motives, they used this marriage contract for personal gain, so that my mother couldn't go back to her home. At this time, Luo Qing spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my mother's matter involves some hidden secrets, and it is inconvenient to say more, this is an internal matter of their Li family, let them deal with it themselves, and everyone doesn't need to make this matter too much impact, thank you!" Luo Qing shouted to the people.

"Let's just listen to Brother Luo Qing, let the Li family handle this matter by themselves, come, everyone will drink tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"
