Chapter 66: The Beggar
The officer turned around and affirmed the man's statement: "Yes, as long as you stay at home and do not go out, the government will distribute food to you for free." ”
"If you feel that you have a lot of food at home, you can also not register."
When the man heard this, his cheeks flushed with excitement.
This is real food, who would have too much? Now go home and register!
The action of cleaning up under everyone's hands also invariably sped up a few points.
And this is also within Hu Changan's plan.
Hu Changan had long expected that once this law was implemented, there would definitely be many villagers pretending to be poor and pretending to receive food.
But Hu Changan didn't care too much.
After all, even if all the villagers have registered to receive food, how much food can be distributed in the past ten days and a half? I'm afraid I can't even get down the tip of the granary.
And more importantly, eat people with a short mouth and soft hands.
After these villagers took the grain from the government, Hu Changan would severely punish the villagers who did not obey the regulations, which was reasonable.
In a few moments, the streets of the village were empty.
Everyone went back to their homes one after another, hiding at home with peace of mind and waiting for the government to register.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, a few officials wearing masks and wide burqas came to register food delivery information door-to-door.
Although these officials are dressed very strangely, these villagers are used to seeing them, and they have long been surprised.
This is what the living gods demanded!
Even some of the villagers who came to answer the door were dressed up in this way.
Everyone only showed a pair of eyes, which was very funny.
But in order to fight the epidemic, it doesn't matter how strange the clothes are.
In addition to registering for the delivery of grain, the government also kept a detailed record of how many people in each household were healthy, and how many were sick.
For those families with sick people at home, the officials paid special attention to it, not only sending a small bowl of disinfectant water, but also promising to distribute decoction to these patients in the future.
When the villagers heard this, their hearts were also warm.
Fortunately, the government has not given up on these patients, and they still have a chance to live!
Thanks to everyone's efforts, all the villages affected by the epidemic were registered in one afternoon.
Fortunately, transportation was not very developed in ancient times, and many peasants survived and spent their lives in familiar villages.
If external communication is not smooth, there will be no way for the epidemic to spread.
So far, only five nearby villages have been affected by the epidemic.
Moreover, the mortality rate of the plague is extremely high, and many villagers often get sick just a few days ago and die three to five days later.
Without a long incubation period, these patients have no chance of infecting other people.
Hu Changan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the plague is not very widespread, and it is estimated that it will only take more than a month and a half of lockdown to eliminate the epidemic.
After the registration was completed, Hu Changan sent a special person to go to the street every other hour to publicize the knowledge of epidemic prevention.
From how to deal with patients at home, to how to wear masks, there are all kinds of things.
Hu Changan believes that although these villagers are not highly educated, as long as they repeat it enough times, they will listen to it even if they are fools.
With Hu Changan's unremitting efforts, in the end, even the three-year-old daughter of the county commander Feng Qingcai would recite the anti-epidemic common sense in a milky voice, which made Feng Qing so happy, and she was a little girl who was admitted to school when she was free.
And those imperial doctors and Lang Zhong haven't stopped for the past few days.
Although they are not satisfied with Hu Changan's various strange methods, since they are here, they are also obliged to treat the patient.
In the end, they tossed and turned, and they really invented a Chinese medicine prescription.
Although the effect is not great, it is better than nothing after all, and drinking medicine is better than not drinking.
Hu Changan took a look, this decoction is specially designed to enhance people's immunity, which can be regarded as barely the right medicine.
After all, in the face of many powerful viruses without specific drugs, supportive therapy is the most simple and practical, and the body's resistance is far stronger than imagined.
So at this time, the people in the county government performed their duties.
Hu Chang'an was in charge of specifying the quarantine policy, the Lang Zhong were in charge of distributing medicines to those who were already sick from door to door, and the guards were busy patrolling the streets, and if they found anyone going out without permission, they would go straight down with sticks.
Under the iron-blooded patrol of the guards, even if the people have big complaints, they can only obediently stay at home.
At the same time, the county officials continued to go door-to-door on a daily basis.
This time, the main thing is to register the number of sick people and the number of healthy people.
After all, only with detailed and credible data can all decisions be made reasonably and reliably.
For those who died at home, the servants would also carry the bodies of the sick free of charge and bury them on the spot in the wasteland behind the village.
Although the villagers were not satisfied, they were helpless.
After all, once you do a lot of work, healthy people will die.
For the sake of their own lives, those villagers had to swallow their anger and focus on the overall situation.
At this time, the county government had restored its former order.
Feng Qing no longer had to deal with a large number of things, and Hu Changan smiled with satisfaction when he looked at the data reported by the messengers.
Under the quarantine policy, there are fewer and fewer new patients every day.
Just yesterday, there were only about a dozen new patients in all five villages.
Victory is just around the corner!
However, a sudden news broke Hu Changan's beautiful illusions.
On this day, Hu Changan was chatting with Feng Qing, and an errand officer suddenly ran in outside, and before he had time to salute, he said in a panic: "My lord, it's not good, we just found more than a dozen beggars' corpses in the ruined temple outside the village, it seems that they died of the epidemic!" ”
What!
Hu Changan couldn't help but look dark.
He only paid attention to the villagers, but he didn't pay attention to the beggar who had no identity at all!
Even Feng Qing was shocked.
The two of them hurriedly changed their clothes, mounted their horses and rode quickly towards the broken temple that the messenger had said.
After a while, Hu Changan and Feng Qing rushed to the broken temple.
Hu Changan turned over and dismounted, and couldn't help frowning when he saw the tragic appearance in front of him.
I saw more than a dozen beggars' corpses lying in the ruined temple.
They are old and young, and they don't seem to be very stable.
Fortunately, it's autumn now, otherwise there would have been a stench floating here.
Hu Changan hadn't seen anything yet, but Feng Qing was full of experience at the grassroots level, and he saw the unusual places on these beggars: "Why are the clothes on these beggars so new?" ”
Hu Changan listened and hurriedly looked at it.
Sure enough, the clothes on these beggars were all new, and the size was obviously inappropriate, and they looked like picking up other people's clothes.
