Shen Xianling was directly stunned.

She didn't expect Gu Niangzi and the grass people to be able to do so much in a time of crisis.

"My lord, I'll go first."

Mo Li pulled up his mask, put on his hat, and strode out of the county office.

Looking at his back, Shen Xianling admired it very much, this kind of character, given time, will be a dragon and a phoenix in adulthood!

She was about to sit down and continue to arrange government affairs, when Master Yuan, who had just walked out, hurriedly returned: "My lord, it's not good, there are dead people in the city again!" ”

Shen Xian Ling got up suddenly: "How many people died?" ”

"Four people died, all of whom took Tong Ren Tang's antipyretic medicine, and died suddenly." Master Yuan had palpitations, "The previous deceased died during the treatment, but today these four people have clearly lost their fever, and somehow they didn't survive...... The family of the deceased made a fuss in Tongrentang......"

Shen Xianling's face was calm: "In other words, there is indeed a problem with the original recipe...... Don't wait for the evening, now, Master Yuan, you will send someone to Nanzhou Mansion City to report the new recipe to the prefect, as for whether to use this recipe or not, it is all up to the prefect to decide. Also, let the prefect urgently transfer some skullcap from the north......"

Master Yuan arched his hand: "Yes!" ”

The sudden death of four people in Youshui County caused a huge panic.

Taking medicine can kill people, who dares to trust doctors anymore?

Two doctors from Tong Ren Tang, as well as three doctors from the other medical center, gathered in the inner hall to study the recipe together.

This is a fever prescription that has been passed down from generation to generation, and they can write a formula and dosage without thinking, but now, so many patients, taking this medicine at the same time, there is not even a single person who has been cured, the first person who has been sick for four days, it stands to reason that if the medicine is used for four days, even if it is not cured, it will be half better, how can it be so serious?

Doctor Zhou touched his beard: "This illness, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary fever, and we need to find the cause." ”

"The patient has a sudden high fever, and there are several reasons, the wind cold is cold, or the evil heat is outside, the wind cold uses ephedra, cinnamon branches, and Qianghuo, and the wind heat uses Bupleurum, cimicifuga, and peppermint...... I don't think there's a problem with the prescription......"

"If there is no problem, why do the people in the city not recover from their illnesses for a long time, and even those who died violently?"

"It's the plague...... There is no cure! ”

"All sick people must be buried alive, otherwise the entire Youshui County will die!"

“……”

A room full of doctors looked horrified.

Plague is not a strange word, just a dozen years ago, during the border war, there were so many dead people that the corpses of the summer did not have time to dispose of it, and the plague broke out.

The plague spread, and every village died, until all the infected people died, and the plague was not over......

"One by one, Hugh is talking nonsense!" Mo Li came in from the door and threw the prescription on the desk, "From now on, according to this recipe, the six of you are responsible for all the people in the city, and you two will go outside the city with me!" ”

Dr. Zhou picked up the prescription: "This, this is a truncated medicine, a prescription for treating the diseases of livestock, how can it be ......?"

It is a three-point poison, and the cut-off is those prescriptions that go straight to the curative effect, no matter how the disease comes from, and no matter how the internal organs can bear it, as long as it is useful, if there are side effects, then prescribe medicine to treat the side effects...... TCM does not advocate this shortcut.

Although Mo Li didn't understand this, he unconditionally supported his own lady.

He snorted coldly and said: "According to your treatment, I don't know how many people will die, treat people as animals, and save one by one!" Also, this prescription was written and submitted by a miracle doctor, and the miracle doctor has traveled all over the world and has a wide range of knowledge, so your shallow knowledge naturally cannot understand the magic of this prescription. Don't sit in a daze, hurry up and boil the medicine! ”

Although there are still many people who disagree with using this method, if you don't use this method, is there any other better way?

At present, the situation is urgent, and the dead horse must also be a live horse doctor, and besides, the prescription was taken by Mo Xiucai, if something really happened, the main responsibility must also be Mo Xiucai, if this prescription is effective, then they also have the credit.

Mo Li took four yacha and two doctors and went out of the city together.

It was afternoon, and before it was time to cook porridge, the cauldron was empty.

Mo Li asked people to make a fire, and immediately began to boil medicine, and as soon as the fire burned, many homeless people began to surround them, thinking that it was porridge.

"It's not porridge, what's cooking?"

"Isn't it boiling wild vegetable bark for us to eat?"

"It's good to have hot bark porridge, it's better than the northwest wind."

The homeless people gathered around and whispered.

Mo Li stood on the chair and said loudly: "This is boiling medicine, special medicine for curing diseases, drinking it can save lives, come to get the medicine after half an hour, don't come and squeeze if you are not sick." ”

The displaced people were in an uproar.

"The county magistrate of Youshui County is also too good, even if you have two meals of porridge a day, there is even medicine."

"I heard a long time ago that Youshui County had a bumper harvest, and the county government here must be very rich, otherwise how could we have the money to buy medicinal herbs for us homeless people to drink."

"Yesterday, the displaced people from Nanzhou said that Nanzhou only provides one porridge a day, it is clear water porridge, and the stomach is full of water when you drink it, the prefect of Nanzhou is too poor, and you are still the richest in Youshui County, we have come to the right place."

"I also heard that what is the name of the richest village in Youshui County, I heard that their village has harvested rice twice, and there must be a lot of grain ......."

A group of homeless people were talking.

Let a few men gathered over there hear it, they are also homeless, and among this group of homeless people, they can be regarded as the leading existence.

The three or four of them looked at each other, then laughed at the same time.

They have been together for three or four months, and they have long had a tacit understanding with each other, and they don't need to communicate, they know what each other is thinking about.

A large pot of medicine was cooked quickly, but there were as many as four or five hundred displaced people, and it was enough to boil more than a dozen pots.

Porridge is eaten twice a day, medicine is served three times a day, and the cauldron set up inside and outside the city never stops all day and night.

Mo Li was dizzy with everyone's busyness.

Even the most tiring autumn harvest in Gujia Village, he was not tired like this.

But Mo Li didn't stop, when he handed bowls of porridge and bowls of medicine to those homeless people, he inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility rise in his heart.

Scholars can't do without Hongyi, and there is a long way to go.

Benevolence is its own responsibility, isn't it also important?

Death is gone, isn't it far away?

Once again, he realized what the words in the book meant.

By the next morning, good news came from the city, and the body temperature of many patients with high fever had gradually receded, and although they were not cured, they at least gave people hope.

Shen Xianling still hadn't slept all night, and the treatment of the disease had a direction, so he could put it aside for the time being.

However, there was not much grain left in the granary.

She put down her pen and said slowly: "Master Yuan, you take my seal and invite all the merchants in Youshui County to come over, each family must send a representative to come, if anyone dares to disobey, they will be tied up and brought over directly." ”

Master Yuan was surprised: "My lord, what do you mean ......?"

"Youshui County is in trouble, these rich businessmen should also spit out something." Shen Xianling sighed, "Although this will be hated by the merchants, I have to do this...... I can't, watching hundreds of people starve to death outside the city. ”

Master Yuan understood as soon as he heard it.

The situation in Nanzhou Fucheng is even more tricky, and it is definitely impossible to count on it, so it can only choose to let the merchants bleed hemorrhage and transfer the pressure of food shortage to the merchants.

Although this trick is a bit detrimental and not conducive to the management of merchants in the future, it must be admitted that this is the only effective method at present.

Master Yuan turned around and went to do this.

Now the city is full of rumors, the government is patrolling twelve hours a day, everyone is terrified, even the rich merchants, they are afraid of dying of the plague, many merchants want to take refuge elsewhere with their families, but the city gate is closed, they can't get out.

These people also wanted to find out how the county magistrate would arrange it next, so as soon as Master Yuan went to invite people, those merchants came without saying a word.

The lobby of the yamen was full of merchants, as many as sixty or seventy people.

The faces of the proprietors were covered with a layer of gauze...... They didn't understand why they had to cover their faces with this, but they saw that the officials had things covered their faces, and they followed suit.

After everyone arrived, Master Yuan went to the study to ask Shen County for the order.

As soon as he walked outside, a servant hurriedly walked over: "Master, that Wu shopkeeper, said that he recruited, and he recruited ......."

Master Yuan thought about it for a while, and then remembered who the shopkeeper Wu was.

The shopkeeper who wanted to forcibly buy Gu Niangzi's prescription, isn't it surnamed Wu, a foreigner, who heard the news and made a special trip to Youshui County, and before he started to do things, the matter of purchasing soap Fangzi was revealed by the little guy next to him......

The lord sent him to investigate, and it was very simple to find out that the first thing that this shopkeeper Wu did when he came to Youshui County was to forcibly occupy a married man...... So, he immediately arrested the shopkeeper Wu and threw him into prison.

I was busy dealing with the homeless people for a while, so I forgot about Shopkeeper Wu.

As far as he knows, this Wu shopkeeper is quite rich, so it's better to slaughter a sum of money.

Although the method is a little dirty and despicable, this money is used on the victims, and he has a clear conscience!

I wish you all a happy new year, all the best, and great fortune! The Chinese New Year is relatively busy, and I would like to thank you for your tips and monthly passes, thank you
