Chapter 65: Isolation

Taking masks as an example, if some people are reluctant to throw them away, and wear the mask once and then a second time, it is easy to get infected due to the germs remaining on the mask.

Although Hu Changan has written in as much detail as possible on the notice how to use masks, it can't stand that most of the current people are illiterate, and if they want to spread things, they can only pass on them by word of mouth.

Just like a solitaire game, this stuff will always change its flavor and sometimes even become unrecognizable.

And medical care is the most sloppy.

As the saying goes, the slightest mistake is a thousand miles, and Hu Changan has to guard against it.

It seems that it is time to use the power of the government!

Hu Changan hurriedly took off his Taoist uniform and came to the county commander Feng Qing.

At this time, Feng Qing still had a large stack of documents on the table, and the room was also messy, and there was no place to put his feet.

However, Hu Changan didn't care, he sat on the chair casually, and asked Feng Qing: "Lord Feng, I don't know how much surplus grain is in the grain depot of the Yamen?" ”

Feng Qing blinked, and replied a little sluggishly: "There should be half a year's worth of food, what does Hu Gongzi want to do?" ”

It's no wonder that Feng Qing's expression is dull, he hasn't slept well for half a month in order to arrange the anti-epidemic work.

Hu Changan is okay over there, after all, he is only here to help temporarily, and there are no hard tasks.

And Feng Qing is different here, the affairs in the county from big to small must be decided by Feng Qing one by one.

For the sake of this epidemic, Feng Qing really suffered a lot.

When Hu Changan saw this, he was also in awe.

There were still a lot of good officials in the officialdom in the early Ming Dynasty, and it is no wonder that a parent official like Feng Qing will be valued by the prince and others.

However, Feng Qing didn't quite understand Hu Changan's words.

Isn't the problem at hand the pandemic? The food is fine.

After all, now that the autumn harvest has just passed, there is still a lot of surplus grain in the people's homes, and there is enough to manage.

Seeing Feng Qing's puzzled eyes, Hu Changan replied with a smile: "I don't know if Lord Feng has ever thought about letting all the people stay in the house and directly send the food to the door by the government?" ”

"After all, this epidemic is menacing, and the contagion is simply terrifying."

"My previous method can only treat the symptoms, but not the root cause."

"The only way to end the epidemic is to cut off the way of infection."

"I'm wondering if we can forcibly lock all the people in their houses and have the government deliver food directly to their homes."

"In this way, people do not go to the streets, and there is no possibility of the epidemic spreading to each other."

"Only by cutting off the chain of transmission of the epidemic can the people who are not sick be protected from the plague, so that when the people who are already sick are almost well or almost dead, the epidemic can be controlled."

Hu Changan's words are very straightforward and cruel.

After all, in ancient times when there was a shortage of medical treatment, once you got the plague, it was basically not much different from waiting for death.

Feng Qing also sighed heavily when he heard this.

However, Hu Changan's words caused Feng Qing to think.

Yes, as long as no one continues to get sick, wouldn't it be better?

Or do not do two things and drag all the people who have been infected to the barren mountains and mountains, leaving only the healthy people who are not sick in the village?

Feng Qing couldn't help but excitedly explain his views to Hu Changan.

However, Hu Changan shook his head and poured cold water on Feng Qing: "Lord Feng, although your idea is good, we don't have enough manpower now!" ”

"According to conservative estimates, there are nearly 200 people in the village who have fallen ill, and together with those from neighboring villages, there must be at least 500 people in total."

"And we have less than fifty guards and servants at our disposal, and we can hardly spare manpower except to maintain the daily operation of the county."

Feng Qing sighed silently when he heard this.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, no matter how good the method is, it must be implemented by the people!

Feng Qingyi gritted his teeth and said to Hu Changan: "Brother Hu, don't worry, if there is no one, I will go to Linxian to transfer people, if it really doesn't work, I will lick my face and write a letter again, and let the prince dial some people for us!" ”

After hearing this, Hu Changan also nodded again and again: "Lord Feng, write a letter and add me one!" ”

It is indeed the best way to let people go to the nearby wasteland for isolation, and it is better to write to find someone first.

Just do it, Hu Changan and Feng Qing drafted the letter together and sent someone to the prince's mansion.

After writing the letter, Hu Changan was just about to leave, but he patted his head and remembered something, and sat down again.

I've been so busy lately that Hu Changan has forgotten the purpose of coming here.

"Master Feng, there is not enough manpower for the time being, so let's use the method of insufficient manpower first."

"It's best if you can transfer people later, but if you can't transfer people, you can also respond to emergencies with this method."

Feng Qing listened and nodded hurriedly.

Indeed, this kind of thing is a metaphysics, although there is a high probability that support can be called, but it is also necessary to pay attention to prevent no one from being able to fight alone in the later stage.

......

On this day, the people of the village were sitting under the trees chatting in twos and threes, when suddenly a sound of gongs and drums accompanied by shouting spread on the village road.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Jiangning County, the county order Lord Feng has an order, please go back to your home immediately after hearing the sound of gongs and drums, and do not gather on the road, otherwise you will be severely punished and bear the consequences!"

When the villagers heard this, their first reaction was that they didn't understand.

An anxious villager immediately spat and snorted coldly: "This official government is really lenient, first it is not allowed to sacrifice, and now it is not allowed to leave the house." ”

"Now our days are hard enough, why, can't we even sit and gossip and chatter a few words?!"

At this moment, the patrol officer had already come here.

Seeing the crowd sitting under the tree, the messenger immediately shouted, "Go home, and don't sit here and gossip!" ”

Seeing this, the person who had just spoken became even more angry.

However, as soon as he wanted to rush over and reason with the servants, several knights on tall horses walked out from the corner, and they were the guards of the Prince's Mansion.

Seeing the strong and powerful muscles of the guards, the man was instantly stunned, so he had to go back to clean up the bench in a gray manner, and he didn't dare to put a fart.

Seeing that everyone was starting to pack up their things, the messenger walked away, and continued to shout while beating the gong, "Please squat at home and don't go out!" Immediately, the government will send people to register door-to-door, if there is a shortage of food, please explain in advance, the government will send people to deliver food to your door every day! ”

When the people who were still packing up their things heard this, they couldn't help but turn from anger to joy.

What, the government is so good, squatting at home and not going to work, and still being able to distribute food?!

One of them couldn't even suppress his joy and asked aloud to the departing officer, "My lord, is this true?" Squatting at home to get food? ”
