Chapter Seventy-Four: Illness Comes from the Mouth

"There are a lot of manpower and material resources required to dredge the river, and it can't be done in eight or nine days, but I'm afraid that Lord Chu will not care about what will happen in the past for the sake of speed." Wen Yiheng agreed with Su Jiudong's view of water control, but he was afraid that Chu Lufeng would ignore the quality as long as the speed in order to deal with the iron orders of the imperial court.

Su Jiudong pondered for a while, and recalled that there are other methods in the book that can be used for reference: "If the effect is still not enough, you can also follow Pan Jitao's method of 'harnessing water and attacking sand' to build a near embankment to restrain water and attack sand, build a remote embankment to prevent flooding, and store and clean up muddy." ”

"It is also an opportunity to narrow the width of the river, which will speed up the sediment transport in the river and reduce the sediment in the river. In the future, the river transport will also benefit from this. ”

The silting of river sand in the river is not good for drainage and transportation. If water transportation is not prosperous, what will be blocked is the future financial route. Su Jiudong could think far ahead of Wen Yiheng, and Wen Yiheng was even more surprised.

"Today's detailed discussion with you is better than ten years of study. On weekdays, I am idle, but you read the books attentively, it just so happens that what you have learned can be used by me, and your books are worth it, hahaha! Wen Yiheng looked at Su Jiudong, his eyes were full of praise and praise.

Su Jiudong's remarks today proved that she had read a wide range of books and was knowledgeable, and she was really a rare and valuable talent, far from being a thing in the pool.

"Reading makes a man wise, and everything he learns becomes character. I'm just using the wisdom of my predecessors to illustrate it. After talking for so long, Su Jiudong saw that the decoction was cold, so he didn't talk about it anymore, urging Wen Yiheng to drink the medicine quickly. Su Jiudong added soothing herbs to the decoction, and Wen Yiheng fell asleep soon after drinking it.

Wen Yiheng returned safely, and Su Jiudong began to treat again, with a three-pronged approach of medicinal diet, acupuncture, and medicinal bath, which never stopped. There are too many medicinal materials needed for medicinal baths, and the number of times Su Jiudong takes people into the mountains to collect medicines is also increasing day by day, but fortunately, the protective measures are in place, and it is no longer a dangerous thing to enter the mountains.

Wen Yiheng summarized the water control methods mentioned in the discussion with Su Jiudong that day, as well as the suggestions for disaster relief dosage and water canal reconstruction after the disaster, and asked Chu Lu to implement it according to the regulations, and there must be no mistakes, and he has to send someone to report the progress to him every day.

Wen Yiheng was concerned about the floods in Quzhou, and the letters sent by Qin Cha Xingyuan every day never left his hand, and he even took the medicinal bath in his hand to inspect and think.

Chu Lufeng carried out the follow-up work in strict accordance with Wen Yiheng's order, opened a warehouse to help the people, adjusted the local grain price, and then connected the river yamen to build a river dam and open the river to drain water. New progress is reported to Wen Yiheng every day.

Ten days later, Chu Lufeng returned from Quzhou to control the water, and hurriedly held a meeting in Qinchaxingyuan, where the main officials discussed the matter of relief and dredging water after the flood, and Wen Yiheng also responded to the call.

Wen Yiheng left only an hour in the morning, and suddenly the government sent someone to find the Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant, and asked Su Jiudong to take the medicine box to Qincha Xingyuan.

"Doctor Su, the people of Evergrande are invited, let you hurry up and go on a trip with the little ones."

Hearing Wen Yiheng's urgent call, Su Jiudong was worried about whether Wen Yiheng was poisonous again, and his hand that grabbed the medicine box was trembling, and his palms were sweating.

Su Jiudong wondered, obviously the Bailuo skirt poison in Wen Yiheng's body had been pulled out to seventy-seven eighty-eight, how could it suddenly be poisonous again...... Could it be that there is a mistake in the preparation of your own treatment methods and prescriptions?

Su Jiudong was busy reflecting on his treatment methods, while the guys and diners in the medicinal restaurant were busy speculating about the minister.

The diners in the medicinal restaurant saw Su Jiudong hurriedly leaving with the medicine box on his back, and the gossip guessed whether it was Lord Qincha who was sick.

There are also lamenting that Su Jiudong is famous, and even Lord Qincha is sick and does not invite other doctors, but asks her, the owner of the medicinal diet, to go for diagnosis and treatment.

The guesses of the diners were right, this time Wen Yiheng urgently summoned Su Jiu over, not because Wen Yiheng was poisonous as Su Jiudong thought, but because Chu Lufeng, the minister of the Qin Mission, was sick.

The official messenger informed Su Jiudong of the details on the way.

When Chu Lufeng came back from Quzhou, he did not stop for a moment, and after returning to Qincha, he urgently summoned a meeting of officials to discuss. But in the middle of the meeting, he fainted in public, and everyone was in chaos.

Wen Yiheng sent someone to ask the doctor for diagnosis, and after the doctor's examination, he found that some of the symptoms of infection on Chu Lufeng's body were similar to ordinary infectious diseases.

Thinking of Chu Lufeng, who had just returned from Quzhou and other disaster-stricken places, it was very likely that he was infected with the plague there, but the incubation period of the disease was not easy to detect, so Chu Lufeng suddenly fell ill after returning to Hangzhou City.

Wen Yiheng learned that Chu Lufeng might have been infected with the plague, and immediately sent someone to the Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant to invite Su Jiudong, saying that she had helped him deal with the plague the year before last, and she might have a solution.

Su Jiudong rushed to Qin's errand, and the servant hurriedly invited her to Chu Lufeng's bed to check her pulse. Everyone in the house wore thick veils under the instructions of the previous doctor, and Su Jiudong also wore them with the crowd.

The night sparrows in the house were silent, and everyone was silent, abandoning to wait for the results of Su Jiudong's diagnosis and treatment. The officials present stood far away from the bed, their faces were embarrassed, and they were already very anxious, for fear that Chu Lufeng would really suffer from the plague and he would be infected.

Su Jiudong opened the prescription and the celebrity tortured and fed Chu Lu to take it, and then went to the room with Wen Yiheng to discuss.

"What do you think, Chu Lufeng is really infected with the plague?" Wen Yiheng retreated from everyone and led Su Jiudong to the study to talk in detail.

If it's just an ordinary minor illness, but if it's really a plague, then the officials who accompanied Chu Lufeng all the way may be the same as Chu Lufeng, carrying the virus in the disaster area, which is tantamount to walking live germs.

Now, considering the worst-case scenario, I am afraid that this cadre, as well as the officials attending today's meeting, need to be isolated, and then diagnosed and treated one by one according to the situation.

Chu Lufeng is now lying unconscious on the bed, his lips are dry and slightly cracked, his face is red and hot, and his clinical symptoms include fever, convulsions and coma.

The accompanying officials revealed that Chu Lufeng often mentioned that he had head and body pain when he was in the disaster area, and his headache worsened on the way here, accompanied by vomiting and abdominal pain from time to time.

"Judging by his complexion, pulse, and current symptoms, it should be that he is suffering from the plague." Su Jiu's expression also became serious.

Chu Lufeng is sick, and there is even a possibility that there are signs of infection, and the matter is serious, and it is indeed not to be careless.

"It is possible that Lord Chu accidentally ate some unclean food or drinking water when he stayed in the affected area, or came into contact with some unhandled materials, etc......"

Su Jiudong's first thought was food and water. There is still a period of time when the ex-husband has had a seizure in the skin-to-skin contact with others. And the entourage said that Chu Lufeng had symptoms when he was in the disaster area.

The onset of the disease is so rapid that only two things, food and water, enter the body directly, and are the most likely parts of the problem.

Wen Yiheng called the servants who had been accompanying Chu Lufeng in to inquire, and learned that Chu Lufeng had inspected many disaster-stricken areas, and that eating and drinking were also solved locally.

The fields in the affected areas were flooded, and the stocks of people's homes and government stocks were affected, so the food for disaster relief was uniformly dispatched and distributed by the government from various places, not local food, so the grain, rice and noodles should be clean and safe.

The only thing that makes it difficult to get drinking water from other places is that it has to be taken directly from the local area. Therefore, it is not possible to confirm whether the source of drinking water and the process of extracting it are clean.

Therefore, Su Jiudong concluded that Chu Lufeng should have accidentally eaten and drunk the water in the disaster-stricken area to become ill.

Natural and man-made disasters are often followed by famine, serious illness or epidemics such as plague.

In the flood that broke out in Quzhou, many people and animals lost their lives, and the corpses and wounds became an ideal place for the growth and reproduction of germs, so that the source of bacteria was generated. Scattered floodwaters can bring bacteria from drowned livestock and garbage to every corner of people's lives.

The drinking water in the affected areas may be due to some negligence on the part of government personnel or improper operation, and the means of treating the water source are not clean enough, so that the drinking water still carries germs. Therefore, when people in the affected areas drink the water infected by bacteria, they will become sick.

Chu Lufeng drank the water from the affected area, and now he is sick and bedridden, so it is very likely that the local victims who also drank the sick water source are also infected. Wen Yiheng sent people to wait at the prefect's yamen to see if there was an urgent letter from Quzhou.

Wen Yiheng asked all the officials attending the meeting to gather in the main hall to wait, told everyone that it was determined that Chu Lufeng was suffering from the plague, and asked the doctor to diagnose the pulse and prescribe medicine for the officials attending the meeting today and the accompanying officials one by one.

If officials are fortunate enough not to have suffered from illness, they should take precautions. If unfortunately he is really infected by Chu Lufeng, he will have to find a place to isolate these officials at that time.

Zhejiang Zhizhou panicked, with a worried face: "Evergrande people, Lord Chu is really suffering from the plague, so are we ...... Are you going to be quarantined? ”

"Not bad. Lord Chu is still being treated, and several adults are still staying in Qincha Xingyuan these days, don't go out at will for the time being, I will send someone to send a decoction to you every day. ”

Chu Lufeng's condition is not yet clear, Wen Yiheng will certainly not let everyone leave, and would rather let these officials be locked up in Xingyuan for a few days than let them have the opportunity to go out and infect the people in the county with germs, so that the disease will expand.

"When Lord Chu's condition is under control and healed, and several adults have not been diagnosed with any symptoms, they will naturally let you go...... Fortunately, the Qin Cha Xingyuan prepared by the prefect for Lord Chu was big enough for a few adults to live temporarily. Wen Yiheng sent people to clean the other spare rooms, and the servants took several officials down to rest.

In the evening, the servants sent by Wen Yiheng to the county government to wait for news from Quzhou did not return. Chu Lufeng woke up tossing and turning, and slept in a cold sweat, his mind was still a little confused, and his eyes were scattered when he looked at people.

Chu Lufeng sat up and was about to stretch his waist, when he turned his head and saw Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng sitting around the round table, staring at himself with solemn faces, with a medicine bowl next to the bed, and a servant wiping his sweat, Chu Lufeng secretly screamed in his heart.
