Chapter 447: Response
In May of the fourth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the plague broke out in Pingliangfu, Gansu, and nearly 10,000 people died in just one month, and it is still ravaging Gansu, and there are even signs of spreading outward.
The news was transmitted to the capital, and the government and the opposition were shaken in an instant.
Zhu Youzhen ordered Shaanxi, Shanxi, Ningxia and other places to concentrate all medical forces to help Gansu, not to mention anything else. It is important to first separate people who are infected, who may be infected, and who have never been in contact with them.
Strictly control the flow of population, and order that all the medical forces of the 37th Division of the Tianhu Army stationed in Gansu and the 39th Division of the Tianhu Army stationed in Hetao Mongolia be transferred to Gansu.
In the Royal Medical College in the capital, Zhu Youzhen's face was anxious.
"The plague . . . Plague.. What kind of medicine can be used to treat the plague?"
That's right! Streptomycin..!
Although penicillin also has a certain inhibitory effect on plague, Zhu Youjian knows that because the effect is not good, there are many problems.
In the case of plague, streptomycin has significantly better antibacterial properties.
Open the system mall.. Search for streptomycin:
"The Preparation Process of Streptomycin" soon came into view as the search ended, but the points that could be exchanged for the required points made Zhu Youzhen stunned.
10 points??
Surely this is not a robbery while the fire is hot?
In his heart, Zhu Youzhen immediately raised doubts about the system and asked, "Is there a mistake?" Even so many industrial technologies only need 1 point, but a streptomycin needs 10 points?? ”
Who knows, the system just responded coldly: "If according to the current chemical and industrial level of Daming, it is impossible to manufacture qualified streptomycin, so 10 points are charged as a punitive condition for compulsory exchange.."
Hearing that Zhu Youzhen, who could not be prepared, was immediately stunned.
Hurriedly said: "Then if you exchange 10 points now, will the preparation of this streptomycin be able to work in Daming!" ”
"Yes! The system will provide relevant equipment design drawings, as long as the process can be used to produce qualified streptomycin. ”
After hearing the system's reply, Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt. It's worth it!
After the technology was in hand, Zhu Youzhen immediately summoned the researchers of the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Royal College of Physicians to urgently start the production of streptomycin.
A researcher from the medical school, who was originally the imperial physician of the Ming Dynasty, knelt on the ground tremblingly and said loudly after seeing the production process given by Zhu Youzhen: "Back to Your Majesty, it stands to reason that the minister should not question Your Majesty, but this technique is too shocking. ”
"Your Majesty! If this medicine can be produced, can it really cure the people of the world who were born in the fire and water of the plague? ”
Zhu Youzhen's eyes froze slightly, and then he nodded heavily.
Then he said, "All the people of the world are my subjects, and I can promise the people of the world that this medicine will cure the plague. ”
"Minister! Obey! ”
In fact, the official robes of Ming researchers are clearly different from ordinary officials, first of all, as research-oriented talents.
Zhu Youzhen specially prepared ribbons mixed with gold wire for all the ministers who were selected for the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Royal Academy of Medicine, which in the Ming Dynasty was already a supreme honor that only the emperor could bestow.
...
What test, what test?
Everyone present knew that as long as they could produce streptomycin according to the technology and equipment provided in this book, they could produce streptomycin.
Then, according to His Majesty's words, thousands of Li people can be saved.
Working overtime day and night.
In the face of the plague, almost all the officials of the Ming Dynasty paid the greatest attention... And in Gansu, overnight, a large number of Tianhu troops began to take over every transportation artery.
The Department of Infectious Disease Prevention and Control of Daming was established in Yinchuan Prefecture to serve the prevention and control of plague in Gansu.
The preparation of drugs is not a short-term process, but fortunately, Zhu Youjian has gradually set up a large number of health centers in various parts of Daming in advance.
The plague in Gansu will not spread in the short term.
But this did not allow Zhu Youzhen to watch the people die one after another.
....
Zhu Youzhen doesn't like the last dynasty, this is the consensus of almost all Ming officials, but although the early dynasty did not go to the court many times...
However, the implementation of the decrees of the Ming Dynasty and the policies of the imperial court is more efficient than before.
Use the energy and time that would have been spent chattering in the court to do things.
Zhu Youzhen felt that this could simply save a lot of time.
Above the court.
Hundreds of officials stood on both sides, and Zhu Youzhen watched all this quietly.
"Now that the plague is rampant in Gansu and the disaster is serious, the imperial court has allocated a large amount of relief funds, as well as food, necessary daily necessities and emergency assistance to doctors in the past."
"But I know that in the face of a catastrophe like the plague, it is still far from enough."
"I don't want to see the appearance of thousands of miles of Chibi in Gansu without a single household, so now let you come up with a prescription to cure the plague in Gansu."
As soon as Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, he heard Zhao Fuxiang, the dean of the Daming Royal Medical College, bow down and stand up.
"Your Majesty, according to the minister's view, the top priority now is not how to solve the plague in Gansu, but to take precautions, and never allow the plague to spread to other provinces."
However, as soon as this sentence was uttered, Zhu Youzhen said one after another: "Of course I know about this matter, and I have instructed Ningxia officials to set up a department for the prevention and control of infectious diseases, strictly guard against it, and resolutely prevent it from spreading outward." ”
The Department of Infectious Disease Prevention and Control actually contains another manual on the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases that Zhu Youzhen redeemed in the system mall.
It provides a detailed description of what the plague can happen and, most importantly, how to prevent the spread of the disease.
As long as the plague can be curbed at the source, then the future Ming will be able to minimize its impact.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen understands more that this time the plague is not just about the Ming Dynasty, but the whole world.
According to later statistics, the plague alone may have killed more than 200 million people worldwide.
It's in this day and age.
It is undoubtedly a devastating disaster, and Daming not only wants to get rid of this disaster, but also to obtain the most favorable situation in this disaster.
And what we have to do now is to find a way to solve our own internal crisis first.
