A carriage drove in, it was Yang Pei and they came back, bringing back a cart of medicinal herbs, most of which were forsythia, honeysuckle and skullcap, as well as a small amount of banlan root, as well as some auxiliary medicinal herbs.

"The three of you have come back from the city, and you can't enter the village for the time being." Li Zheng said slowly, "I can only wronged you to go to the thatched hut outside the village to deal with it for three days, and someone will bring food to the entrance of the village, you can just come and get it."

The thatched hut outside the village was cleaned up by the cowshed, and clean straw, tables and chairs were placed, and it was bearable to live for three or four days.

Yang Pei knew that this method came from the head of the family, and he, who was a husband, naturally unconditionally cooperated with his own lady's instructions.

He jumped out of the carriage and said something about the city: "...... The infirmary is all full, and coughing can be heard on the streets at any time, I think the plague has spread, and before we go to the city, I haven't seen any measures from the county magistrate for the time being, I guess that the adults don't think that this disease will cause turmoil, but Ah Li has already gone to the county office, and after he clarifies the matter, the county magistrate will definitely take action......"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, Gu Anhe and another person followed, and the three of them did not have any doubts, and walked towards the cowshed without hesitation.

"They are all good offspring in the village...... Li Zheng couldn't help but sigh, and then beckoned someone to lead the carriage in, "Let Gu Niangzi see the medicinal materials first, and then let Gu Langzhong straighten them out......"

These medicinal materials were purchased with the money from the sale of wasteland in the village, and they cost nearly 100 taels of silver, which is the largest expenditure in the village at present.

But it's about saving people, and it's worth the extra money.

As soon as the herbs arrived, the village was busy again, and the herbs needed to be disposed of, and the women spontaneously came to help.

Gu Langzhong dispensed the medicine according to the prescription, and Gu Qing and several women were responsible for boiling the medicine, and then brought it to the patient.

Zhu Han takes care of the family, Dong Rong is fully armed, and he stays with the patient all the time, he will ask the patient in detail about his current feelings, how he feels after taking the medicine, and record his body temperature and symptoms...... Everything was recorded in detail, but in just one day's work, he recorded more than forty pieces of paper, full of neat handwriting.

In the middle of the night, three of the people with high fever went down.

The next morning, there were several fewer people coughing, but at the same time, some of the women who had been helping to care for them also fell ill.

Some people are cured, some people are sick, and although the number of patients has increased, it has at least proved that the prescription is effective and feasible.

Gu Qing asked Dong Rong to integrate all the notes and hand them over to Li Zheng, who walked to the entrance of the village and called Yang Pei over.

"Hurry up and go to the Youshui County Ya and hand over the prescription to the county magistrate."

Yang Pei is very aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Yesterday, many people fell ill in the city, and the hospital was full, and as the day passed, I was afraid that the situation would be even more tricky.

He drove the carriage to Youshui Town alone, which was not far away, and it was faster to take the carriage, and he arrived at the gate of the city in a short time.

The gates are closed.

The displaced people in the city were driven out, and the displaced people continued to come in this direction, and the number of displaced people at the city gate was at least three or five hundred, densely blocked at the city gate and begging bitterly, but fortunately, there were officials to maintain order, and the scene would not be too chaotic.

As soon as Yang Pei's carriage appeared, some homeless people pounced.

He tightened the reins, drove in without squinting, and when he arrived at the gate of the city, he was stopped by the guards guarding the city: "During the closure of the city, no one is allowed to enter or leave!" ”

Yang Pei took out the burden containing the manuscript from the carriage and handed it to the guard: "This is what Gujia Village is explaining that it must be sent to the county commander, human life is at stake, and it cannot be delayed for a moment, so please send it in quickly." ”

These guards are all wearing the masks that Moli brought back to the city yesterday, it is said that Gu Niangzi from Gujia Village asked someone to sew them, and the young man in front of him is also wearing the same mask, he should also be from Gujia Village, and the guards guarding the city took the burden and quickly walked towards the city, until they reached the gate of the county government.

The gates of Hidden Water are closed.

Three or four hundred displaced people gathered around the ruined temple, and a porridge shed was set up at the gate of the main city, and two meals of porridge were provided a day, and the mood of the displaced people was quite stable.

But the disease is spreading, and many of the displaced people have been sick, dragging their sick bodies and coughing incessantly.

In the city, because of the displaced people entering the city, hundreds of people had high fever and cough, and four or five medical centers were all crowded.

Shen Xianling was sitting in the study, reading the papers.

Her eyelids were dark blue, her face was haggard, and she looked like she had not slept all night.

The document in her hand was a letter sent by the prefect.

The letter said that thousands of displaced people in Nanzhou Mansion brought a serious plague, causing countless people in Nanzhou Mansion to be infected with diseases, and people died every day, and the death toll in the city reached its peak yesterday, and eight people died, from high fever to death, about four or five days.

There are more sick people among the homeless, but the death toll is not so high, about one or two deaths a day.

In order to protect Nanzhou, the prefect ordered all the displaced people to be driven out, closed the city gates, and separated the people in the city for treatment and management...... The letter stressed that all counties and towns in the jurisdiction should follow this law and control the spread of the plague......

The prefect also wrote that all the antipyretic medicinal materials in Nanzhou were almost sold out, and proposed to let the government control the medicinal materials and unify the medicinal treatment......

Shen Xian Ling put down the lengthy paperwork and pinched his eyebrows.

After Mo Li handed over Gu Niangzi's letter yesterday, he immediately asked the officials to go to the nearby counties and towns and villages to implement compulsory control measures.

At present, the source of the disease in the city is under control, but the situation is still very tricky.

First, the consumption of medicinal materials is serious, and the medicinal materials for the treatment of fever, such as ephedra, Bupleurum chinensis, Qianghuo, and cinnamon branches, are almost all sold out, and without medicine, those who are sick can only wait for death.

Second, the number of displaced people outside the city, three or four hundred, is still increasing every day, and it is difficult for the county government to continue to supply so many people that they have two meals of porridge a day. Because of the lack of medicinal herbs, displaced people outside the city are not even eligible for treatment.

These people are also living human lives......

"Your Excellency!"

The guards of the city walked in quickly.

"This is a letter sent by a decent person in Gujia Village, saying that human life is at stake, and it cannot be delayed!"

As soon as he heard the three words of Gujiacun, Shen Xianling was like taking a reassuring pill, and the irritability in his heart disappeared in an instant.

She quickly opened the bag and took out a thick stack of papers.

On the first piece of paper, it was written in detail what these manuscripts recorded, which turned out to be a prescription, a prescription for the plague.

Shen Xianling's breathing suddenly became short, and his hands trembled.

She began to look at the ten lines at a glance, and most of the middle was the verification process, as well as the patient's symptoms...... He went straight to the last page, which was a complete recipe.

If the prescription includes ephedra and other medicines, he may continue to have headaches.

But! This recipe has nothing to do with commonly used antipyretics, but uses some more common heat-clearing medicines, such as forsythia honeysuckle.

He thought that Gu Niangzi only knew about the field, so he could develop a prescription for exterminating locusts and understand the matter of the second crop of rice.

Now I know that she is too narrow-minded.

"Gu Niangzi...... What a noble man for me......"

The matter of separation management was proposed by Gu Niangzi.

The prescription for the treatment was also sent by Gu Niangzi.

Youshui County can have Gu Niangzi, which is the luck of everyone in Youshui County.

"Someone!"

Shen Xian Ling shouted, and Master Yuan walked in with his waist hunched.

"Gather all the doctors in the city, control all the medicinal materials, and distribute the medicine in a unified manner." She said in an orderly manner, "There are two medicine boiling points inside and outside the city, and the people inside and outside the city are treated equally......

Master Yuan was stunned: "But my lord, there are not enough medicinal materials, I asked the doctor of Rendetang, and said that all the medicines in the whole city are combined, and they are only enough for another three or five days, and some of them will be distributed to the homeless, and they will be sold out in two days......"

"Changed the way." Shen County Ling pulled out the paper of the prescription, "Honeysuckle and forsythia, you can find it in the jurisdiction of Youshui County, skullcap will be used first, and I will think of the gap." ”

Honeysuckle and forsythia are very common, and they can be found in the mountains of the village, but skullcap is a northern medicine, which is purchased from the north, and it is impossible for the medical center in the city to reserve too much, at most five days, and the skullcap will also be sold out.

Master Yuan hesitated a little when he took the prescription: "Which doctor wrote this prescription?" ”

"Naturally, it's my lady Gu Qing." Mo Li walked in from the door, "My lady can hand over this prescription, which means that the test has been done and it is indeed effective." ”

Master Yuan hesitated even more: "But, isn't Mrs. Gu a peasant woman, how can a peasant woman understand medical science?" ”

"If you don't understand, it doesn't mean that my wife doesn't understand either." Mo Li snorted and said: "My lord, there are too many people like Master Yuan who question indiscriminately, I suggest that you lie to the outside world that this prescription is written by a master, and just let all the doctors cooperate with the medicine, if not, those doctors will definitely take turns to question one by one, there is not so much time to explain, it is important to save people." ”

Master Yuan: "......"

Is he questioning indiscriminately, it is clearly reasonable to ask questions!

Shen Xianling agreed with Mo Li's suggestion.

She had to try this recipe as soon as possible, and if it worked, she would have someone copy it and send it to Nanzhou tonight.

The plague is more serious on the other side of Nanzhou, and it is not well controlled there, and Youshui County will always be in danger.

"Master Yuan is in charge of the city, and I am in charge of the outside of the city." Mo left the mouth and said, "Your Excellency is responsible for guarding the county government and giving orders." ”

Shen Xianling frowned: "No, it's too dangerous for the displaced people outside the city." ”

The homeless people outside the city, if they are not good, they will become a mob, how can she let Mo Li, a young Xiucai, be in the middle of the mob, Mo Li's results are clear to her, and she still expects him to come back on behalf of Youshui County.

Mo Li's eyes were particularly firm: "No one in my family is idle in this matter, Dong Rong is in Gujia Village to assist the lady in controlling the plague, Brother Yang is passing supplies outside the village, Brother Han is taking care of the family, I am in the city, so naturally I can't be idle." ”
