"Cremation is necessary, and if it is not cremated, the bacteria will spread further."

Gu Li knows that it will be difficult for people to accept, but this is the most effective way to block the source of infection.

"Then there's no need to dig someone's grave, right?" Shopkeeper Fang asked.

"The corpse is buried in the ground and decomposes, and if it's sunny, it's fine, but if it rains and gets soaked in water, the bacteria will spread." Gu Li explained to him.

It's summer, the weather is very unstable, and there may be a rain at any point, and when it comes, it's too late to say anything.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell my father."

Although Ji Chen didn't quite agree with Gu Li's approach, he could understand that he was leaving again.

Gu Li did not leave the Chunhui Hall again, but entered the isolation ward to observe and record the patient's condition.

She is not a specialist physician and does not have a microscope to detect specific types of pathogens. Gu Li can only be judged by experience and treated with medicine according to conventional methods.

Ji Lingyin had already reported the epidemic, and the imperial court reacted quickly to it and immediately made arrangements.

After dark, Gu Li did not go home, and was still guarding in the Spring Return Hall.

"Doctor Gu, Doctor Mei is here." Gu Li was sorting out today's medical records when she suddenly heard someone shouting at her.

She looked up, and sure enough, she saw Mei Zhiyan coming in.

"How's that going over there?" Gu Li hurriedly asked.

Mei Zhiyan frowned slightly and shook her head: "It's not very good." ”

At the end of the day, several patients who were infected with the epidemic were sent to the Ren Yi Hall.

Gu Li sighed: "It's a big matter, and I don't know when the government will be willing to make a move." ”

"It's already arranged." Mei Zhiyan replied.

"Scheduled?" Gu Li looked at him with questioning eyes.

Mei Zhiyan smiled slightly and nodded: "The emperor ordered the hospital and the household department to deal with the matter of epidemic prevention and control. At the hospital, my father was in charge. ”

"That's great!" Gu Li got up excitedly.

The reaction of the imperial court was fast, and it was decided in less than a day, which was faster than she expected.

Changning City is worthy of being at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is not lazy about the epidemic at all. They don't dare to slack off, otherwise, it will be the emperor and all kinds of officials who will be threatened.

"When the time comes, I'll have to ask for your help." Mei stopped and said.

Gu Li smiled: "It is my responsibility." ”

"I have roughly identified the source of the infection, and it is now imperative that the bodies that have not yet been buried be cremated immediately and that those who have already contracted the disease be isolated."

Mei Zhiyan nodded: "Lord Ling Yin has already submitted your suggestion, and the emperor has also adopted it, asking the household department to search door to door to ensure that all unburied bodies must be cremated." ”

"What about those who are already buried?" Gu Li asked again.

Mei Zhiyan bit her lip: "This suggestion was too inhumane for the Holy Lord, so he didn't take it." ”

"But that's a very big hidden danger!" Gu Li's eyes showed a look of worry.

Those who drowned were all from poor families, and when they were buried, they could have a thin coffin at most, what could they do? When it rains, the rain will soak, and the incomplete decomposed corpse will carry a large amount of bacteria, which will seep into the soil and then flow into the water. People drank the contaminated water, and by that time, the epidemic was bound to explode throughout the city.

Mei Zhiyan didn't reply again, just sighed, saying that there was really nothing she could do.

Gu Li understood, so she also sighed: "Then we can only pray for God's blessing and don't rain." ”

"Are all the medicinal materials for disinfection and prevention enough?" Gu Li asked again.

"My father said that the Tai Hospital is being deployed, and the Ren Yitang also has a lot of reserves, which should be enough." Mei Zhiyan replied.

"There are also gloves, masks and isolation gowns, and they must also be well prepared, which is very important." Gu Li said solemnly.

Only by making sure that health care workers are not infected can more people be treated.

"Hmm." Mei Zhiyan nodded in response.

"It's just that I'm afraid that those people will refuse to cooperate, refuse to hand over the body, and refuse to admit to being infected."

Mei Zhiyan voiced her concerns.

"Now there are rumors in the city that those who are infected will not only not be saved, but will be fenced up and left to fend for themselves."

Gu Li hadn't expected these before, let alone heard these rumors, but when she heard Mei Zhiyan say it, she was also worried.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, when you go from house to house, don't say it directly." ”

Now that the rumors of the epidemic have spread, people must be panicking now, and if they go directly to the house to investigate, people will definitely not cooperate.

"Don't say it directly? So how to say? Mei asked.

"Or do you say that the official sent the food?" Gu Li proposed.

In her previous life, every household in the countryside could get grain from the government during the New Year's Festival. It should work for this reason now.

"I think it's doable." Mei Zhiyan nodded.

However, if this grain is issued by the government, it must be reported first, and then it will go through layers of approval, and when it is put down, it may not have to be a few days.

Time is precious now, and there is no room for delay.

"I'll go back and discuss with my father, and this batch of grain will be provided by our Mei family." Mei stopped and said.

"This-" Gu Li opened his mouth.

Isn't that right?

The Mei family is a clear stream, and the Mei Zhangyuan is the head of the Tai Hospital, but there are not many of them. Even if there is a bucket of rice in a family, it is a lot. Taking out so much food is not a trivial matter for the Mei family.

"Time is pressing, and it's best to have all the food ready early tomorrow morning, otherwise a delay of one more time could cost many lives." Mei Zhiyan smiled and said.

Gu Li naturally understood, so she nodded heavily, expressing deep admiration for Mei Zhiyan's behavior.

After discussing the matter, Mei Zhiyan left the Chunhui Hall.

Shopkeeper Fang came over and persuaded Gu Li to rest: "Doctor Gu, you have also been busy for a day, and you didn't sleep much last night, hurry up and rest." ”

Gu Li didn't refuse this time, nor did she perfunctory, and replied: "Well, I know, I'll go." ”

There is still a tough battle to be fought next, and she must first recuperate before she can devote herself to the upcoming battle with a hundredfold spirit.

Now at this special moment, Gu Li has not been back recently, and she eats and lives in Chunhuitang.

She went into the ward again, checked the patient's condition for the last time, and instructed the young man on duty for the night, and then cleaned herself up and went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Gu Li got up early.

After a few moments, Mei Zhiyan came over.
