Chapter Seventy-Five: The Beginning of the Epidemic (6/10)
In a blink of an eye, it was already the early summer of the eighth year of God's blessing.
Yue Wangshu was inspecting his medicine garden, looking at the verdant ginseng, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.
It's been three years, and the big orange in one hand can now occupy a huge basin, Yue Wangshu used alcohol to detoxify his hands, and then began to make pills.
Well, there is no way, in this era, the pills can only be rubbed manually. Yue Wangshu is also a skilled worker on this, kneading them into large balls of uniform size one by one, and then wrapping them in wax to extend the shelf life.
What she is in the group is the Four Divine Pills, which are good medicines for warming the kidneys and dissipating cold, astringency and diarrhea, well, to put it bluntly, a medicine for diarrhea. This medicine is needed all year round, and it is probably because the hygiene is not in place in this era, so diarrhea is common.
Then there are bruises, backache and leg pain, especially in the busy farming season, and there are countless such medicines.
Then there are some gynecological medicines, such as gynecological Yangrong pills, Gui Shao menstrual adjustment pills, and uterine warming pregnancy pills...... It is only in recent months that there has been an increase in the number of requests for medicine in this area. Mainly because there are some subtle fallacies about Yue Wangshu's identity as a doctor, her identity is naturally not something that can be found out by the tenants in the surrounding villages and towns, and Huangzhuang only announced that she is a person in the palace and a personal disciple of the imperial doctor.
Therefore, Yue Wangshu's identity was misrepresented as an internal supervisor, and the people who went down to distribute the Rendan pills were either palace maids or internal prisoners, and none of them were men, so many women who had been ill for a long time and had no medical treatment plucked up the courage to ask for medicine.
Yue Wangshu thought it was a good thing.
In this era, etiquette is strict, and if the vast majority of women are infected with such diseases, they will not seek medical advice at all, and minor illnesses will be dragged into major illnesses, and major illnesses will be delayed until death.
Although I can't diagnose it in person, I'm afraid that something is wrong, but it's better than not having any medicine. And she also told the palace people to tell those women that if there was any discomfort, they should tell each other in time, and then she would change the dressing according to the feedback.
Fortunately, the vast majority of drugs are effective.
This made Yue Wangshu very pleased, and the movements of rubbing the balls were a little numb.
The eunuch Xiao Xingzi and the palace maids Jin Gui and Ginkgo came back to restore their lives.
"Master, the Rendan pills have been distributed, many people, especially women and children, are grateful to you, before the slave and maid left, some people pulled the slave and maid's sleeve and kowtowed to the Rose Ridge Huangzhuang several times." Xiao Xingzi looked worried.
Yue Wangshu had already put the wax-sealed Four Divine Pills into the bottle, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "Everything is okay in the village and town?" ”
The palace maid Jin Guihu whispered: "It's just that somehow, there are a lot of diarrhea people this year, and the four god pills brought by the slaves and maids are not enough to distribute......"
Yue Wangshu looked puzzled, "It stands to reason that this season is not the season for this disease to occur frequently. ”
Instead, he said, "Well, I'll make more." ”
I couldn't help but sigh, "Diarrhea is not a big deal, it is especially important to pay attention to cleanliness, do you have a good publicity, tell them to wash their hands before and after meals, and do not drink raw water and cold food?" ”
Xiao Xingzi hurriedly said: "Of course there is, the slave and maid are about to say that they are rotten!" It's okay to wash your hands, but it's ...... to drink hot water and eat hot food."
Yue Wangshu frowned, but he quickly understood that for the sake of it, where could the poor family afford the extra cost of new firewood? Even if you can chop wood for salary, you have to waste most of the labor force, if you have that leisure, it is better to do more work and work, as for food, the weather is warm, and if you are not well-off, where can you drink hot water and eat hot food every day?
She suddenly remembered a sentence, there is only one disease in the world, and that is the disease of poverty.
"Let's reduce the tenants' rent by one percent." In fact, the tenant rent of Huangzhuang is already low, and the villages and towns around Rose Huangzhuang are actually relatively rich. But in Yue Wangshu's opinion, he was still too embarrassed and poor.
Xiao Xingzi hurriedly said: "Master Bodhisattva heart! ”
The next day, Yue Wangshu was about to instruct his servants to send the four divine pills that were urgently made to the villages and towns for emergency, but Xiao Xingzi suddenly came to report: "Master, Jin Gui is sick, and he has diarrhea. ”
Yue Wangshu was surprised, was infected? Not really, right? The servants in the imperial village will not drink cold water, eat cold rice, and will not wash their hands after using the toilet......
Suddenly, Yue Wangshu suddenly felt a strong sense of unease, so he hurriedly asked, "In addition to diarrhea, what other symptoms are there?" ”
After that, without waiting for Xiao Xingzi to answer, he simply got up and said, "Take me to Jin Gui's room to have a look!" ”
Xiao Xingzi was anxious, and knelt down directly in front of Yue Wangshu, "Master, don't do it!" Jin Gui is diarrhea, pickled in the house, how can you go? Besides, this disease is contagious, and if you have a case, the slave and maid will die in unison! ”
As he spoke, he kowtowed!
Yue Wangshu's head was big for a while, so he instructed Xiao Ju on the side: "You go and sew a mask for me, so that you don't have to worry about infection." ”
"Masks?" Xiaoju is like falling into the clouds.
Yue Wangshu didn't say much, he directly laid paper and polished ink, and drew a sketch for her, "Well, this is this thing, after you bring it, you can isolate the sickness." ”
Although this is an exaggeration, it is indeed very effective in preventing the spread of epidemics.
After Xiaoju read it, combined with the word "mouth" on the mask, she immediately guessed what it was for, and asked, "I don't know what kind of fabric to use?" Is it OK to wear a makeup veil? ”
Yue Wangshu waved his hand: "It's too thin, just use muslin." ”
Although the material of this mask could not be more particular, it is better than nothing.
Yue Wangshu said again: "Add a few more palace maids with quick hands and feet to make more backups together." ”
She was worried that it was some kind of terrible infectious disease, and the more masks she had, the better.
"Yes!"
Such a simple job, but anyone who is a palace maid can do it, and even with Yue Wangshu's needlework skills, it is not difficult.
Yue Wangshu instructed Xiao Xingzi again, "Go get some alcohol, four bottles of alcohol and one bottle of water - the water should be distilled...... Forget it, it's okay to cool white. After it was done, she went to the golden cinnamon house and sprinkled it carefully, and all the things she touched were also disposed of in the same way. ”
Eliminate the poison first, Yue Wangshu put on a mask and then go.
In the face of infectious diseases, even if Yue Wangshu has an aura of life, she is also very cautious.
After all, the big move can only be used once every four months, and the right to use it has already been handed over to the emperor, so she doesn't dare to use it easily. Therefore, it is safer to take epidemic prevention measures.
After such an operation, Yue Wangshu put on the muslin mask sewn by Xiao Ju and came to the back cover room where the palace maid lived.
At this moment, the back cover room has been urgently cleaned, and it has also been sprinkled with alcohol, smelling of alcohol, mixed with an indescribable smell, not only excrement, but also the smell of vomit.
Jin Gui was lying on a small couch, already in a daze, and his consciousness was not clear. Yue Wang was shocked, this is really not as simple as diarrhea!
She hurriedly stepped forward to open Jin Gui's eyelids, pulled her mouth open to observe, and carefully observed her face, and couldn't help but say that it was a symptom of dehydration, so she instructed Xiao Xingzi, who was also wearing a mask behind her: "Ask someone to feed her more light salt water later." ”
Then he took the pulse, and after a while, Yue Wangshu's expression was solemn, and he immediately ordered: "All palace people who are in close contact with Jin Gui will be isolated and sent to the cross-courtyard!" In addition, step up the production of masks, everyone in the villa must wear them! In addition, all houses must be disinfected! ”
Xiao Xingzi was startled for a moment, and said in confusion: "Elimination, disinfection? ”
"It's just spraying alcohol." Yue Wangshu said.
"Master, what the hell is Jin Gui...... What disease? Xiao Xingzi also felt that something was wrong.
Yue Wangshu sighed and said, "Plague." ”
As soon as the word "plague" came out, Xiao Xingzi's legs instantly weakened, and he was almost unstable.
Yue Wangshu hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, the medicine in the villa is sufficient, and as long as you wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, and disinfect frequently, you can do nothing!" ”
After all, Xiao Xingzi is also a person who has been in contact with patients, although he has not contracted the symptoms of the plague for the time being, but he is also scared in his heart.
Yue Wangshu hurriedly said, "Hurry up and call Li Yue back from the rose forest." ”
Yue Wangshu saw that Xiao Xingzi was afraid that he would not be able to take on the big responsibility, so he thought of Li Yue, don't care about the task of picking rose petals this time, and come back to preside over the epidemic prevention work honestly!
"Yes! Slave and maid, go now! "Xiao Xingzi is called a rolling and climbing.
