Of course, these professional knowledge, the doctors of the Tai Tai Hospital came forward to explain and answer in detail for all the ministers.

In short, it is to strengthen their confidence in the victory over the plague.

After some brainwashing, whether they believe it or not, the courtiers have figured out one thing, that is, the emperor's determination has been made and cannot be shaken.

No one can refute professional matters, but many people are still worried, but the emperor's edict cannot be changed, so they can only acquiesce to this behavior.

Everything revolves around this assumption and starts to run at high speed.

At this time, Yangzhou Mu Chen Fan had already received Liu Zhi's edict, and the abnormal situation in Jiujiang County was reported by him, and his heart was hanging in the air, worried.

Seeing that the emperor attached so much importance to it, his heart was a little relieved.

Since the sudden abnormal weather, he has been very nervous about the data reported from various places, and there will be a major epidemic after a major disaster, not to mention the continuous epidemic in the past 30 years.

Zhang Bin, a famous doctor in Yangzhou, is a holy hand in internal medicine, and has made great achievements in typhoid fever.

The two carefully studied the information sent and found that the symptoms this time were somewhat plausible, including previous febrile convulsions, asthma and blood congestion.

It is not exactly the same, and many people have nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, which makes it difficult to diagnose whether it is typhoid fever or not.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the onset of the disease is acute and the number of patients is relatively concentrated.

After some discussion, Zhang Bin decided to immediately take someone to Jiujiang County to check what was going on, while Chen Fan immediately reported and made all the preparations to deal with the epidemic.

Because he was worried about the spread of the epidemic, Chen Fan did not take the usual route and handed over the chapter through the post station.

Instead, he found the Longlinwei secret agent in Yangzhou, and sent the news to Liu Zhi as quickly as possible through their flying pigeon transmission channel.

During the waiting days, he was not idle, while continuing to closely monitor the situation in Jiujiang County, he secretly summoned local doctors to raise medicines.

He also quietly and quietly bought grain and hoarded it in the granary of the government, so as not to cause prices to rise sharply after the news came out.

However, he didn't expect Liu Zhi's reply to come so quickly, and his attitude was extremely resolute, whether it was an epidemic or not, he would treat it as a plague first.

Subsequently, the news that Dou Yun, a great power, had rushed to Jiujiang County, also came.

In addition to being happy, Chen Fan was also a little panicked, it is not known whether it is an epidemic now, but as soon as the edict was issued, public opinion was in an uproar, people everywhere were panicked, and prices soared.

In just a few days, several states in the Central Plains were in chaos, and many people were ready to drag their children and take refuge in remote states and counties.

However, local governments have already received notices that no one is allowed to go out during the extraordinary period, otherwise they will be killed.

But public opinion is surging, and the government is not manpowered, how can it be stopped?

For a while, there was an endless stream of people who detoured the countryside, and just when the local officials had a headache, the exact news finally came from Jiujiang County.

After consulting with several famous doctors, the imperial physician Ling Dou Yun came to the conclusion that this is a new disease, called hemorrhagic fever.

The contagion is not strong, mainly because of the abnormal local climate and the imbalance of yin and yang, but due to the large number of patients and the urgency of the disease, a large number of doctors are needed.

After the news spread, the rest of the places felt that it was a false alarm, and under the persuasion of the government, they returned to their hometowns.

Because of the abnormal climate, it has affected several states, so all places have begun to disinfect with lime to kill evil cults.

The water source for drinking is cleaned, and the decoction is boiled according to the prescription issued above, and distributed to the people to drink to prevent infection.

At this time, Chen Fan also received a secret report from Dou Yun and Zhang Bin, confirming the previous conjecture that typhoid fever had indeed broken out in Jiujiang County.

The reason why the symptoms are different is because there are variants that are more contagious than before, and they are doing their best to find a suitable treatment plan as soon as possible.

This situation was more serious than they expected, and Chen Fan immediately made a decision and quietly drove Captain Tuntian's soldiers and horses over.

The first is to help them with disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and the second is to block the epidemic area in Jiujiang County to prevent the disease from spreading.

After thinking about it, he was not at ease, so he personally rushed to Jiujiang County with a batch of food and medicine in the name of inspection.

When I went there, I learned that the area around Huainan and Lu'an was already a hell on earth, and there were dead people in almost every household in some villages and towns, and there were cries everywhere.

According to Dou Yun's proposal, all people entering the epidemic area must cover their mouths and noses with cloth towels and spray them with highly strong liquor.

The local government had already intervened, but the situation was chaotic and there was a serious shortage of manpower, so they could only call on the people to rise up and help to tide over the difficulties together.

Dou Yun led his subordinates and students to the forefront of the fight against the epidemic, although he took decoction every day to prevent it, it was still extremely dangerous, and there was a possibility of infection at any time.

When Chen Fan arrived in Lu'an, he didn't see his people at all, and Wang He, the local official in charge of accompanying him, was very nervous.

"Mingfu should hurry back to Yangzhou, this plague is really bad, and if you are not careful, you will be contaminated."

Chen Fan ignored his advice and strode out to inquire about the situation.

"What regulations have Imperial Doctor Dou promulgated?"

Wang He couldn't, so he had to follow behind and answer, "In addition to the conventional sprinkling of lime, Imperial Doctor Dou also stipulates that patients must be separated from ordinary people and treated together, which is more convenient." ”

Zhang Bin had also told him about this before, so Chen Fan knew it in his heart.

Wang He continued to report, "All drinking water must be cooked before drinking, saying that this disease is mainly transmitted by water sources, and there are many viruses in it." ”

The idea that water can transmit viruses was not an uncommon concept in the Han Dynasty, and it has long been known.

But before I was just trying to clean it up, and there was no particularly effective countermeasure, but now it seems that I have found a suitable solution.

"All the people who died of illness were burned and then buried, saying that the dead were the most capable of spreading the disease, and it was strictly forbidden for ordinary people to approach the deceased, even family members."

Listening to Wang He's tone, it seems that he disapproves a little, indeed, this practice of not letting his relatives see the last side is somewhat contrary to human ethics.

But in extraordinary times, nature does extraordinary things, and if it is to save human lives, nothing is too much.

"As for the people who are not infected, there are no special requirements, but they are not allowed to move around at will, saying that they want to reduce the chance of infection."

Chen Fan nodded and continued to ask, "Then what do you do every day?" ”

"Back to the Ming Mansion, we are responsible for maintaining order and preventing the people in the epidemic area from fleeing at will and spreading the disease.

Every day, they are responsible for checking all places, isolating and treating people who are sick, and distributing preventive soup and food. ”

Wang He didn't show his merits, but a bland narrative, Chen Fan nodded, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

While he was talking, Chen Fan had already walked to the mild isolation area, where the isolation zone was circled with hemp rope, which was previously an official school, and the place was relatively spacious.

"Mingfu, you can't go in, in case you are infected with germs, who can afford this responsibility?"

Seeing that Chen Fan walked in without stopping, Wang He was in a hurry and hurriedly stopped him.

Just kidding, he is just a small county magistrate, and if there is a problem with the state pastor here, it will naturally be difficult to escape the blame.

"It's okay, I've already drunk the potion."

Chen Fan didn't care, and walked straight in with his subordinates.

"But the decoction is not a panacea, and some people still get sick after taking the decoction......

Wang He argued with reason, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Fan had already entered the house, so he had to swallow the next words and hurriedly follow up.

The government school was already overcrowded, and there were sick people lying everywhere, and even the courtyard had built a lot of temporary thatched huts, which were densely packed with people.

There are doctors who see them and distribute medicines, and even water and food are also provided uniformly.

Seeing Chen Fan and the others coming in, it immediately caused a commotion, and immediately a young doctor ran over and shouted.

"Who are you? No intrusion is allowed here, so get out of here. ”

The young doctor covered his mouth and nose with a cloth towel, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes were blood-red, revealing deep exhaustion, and he hadn't slept well for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Wang He hurriedly ran forward, and was about to reprimand the doctor, but was stopped by Chen Fan reaching out.

"I'm sorry, it's because I don't understand the rules and cause you trouble, so we'll leave immediately."

Wang He had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his mouth, and accompanied Chen Fan to retreat from it again.

"This person is a disciple of Imperial Physician Dou, Yuan Kan. is a good person, and his medical skills are also clever, but he is a little stubborn and eccentric. ”

Wang He was worried that he would be angry and blamed the doctor, so he hurriedly explained with a smiley face.

Chen Fan smiled, "This person adheres to principles and should be commended, this matter is indeed my fault, don't worry." ”

Hearing him say this, Wang He finally relieved himself, and in the past two days, Imperial Doctor Dou has rushed to Huainan, where the epidemic is more serious.

Only a few disciples were left in charge here, and this Yuan Kan was one of them, and after a few days of contact, Wang He admired this conscientious young man with the benevolence of a doctor.

"Where is the intensive care area? Who is in charge of the treatment today? ”

Coming out of the official school, Chen Fan asked again.

"Back to Ming Mansion, because other places are not so big, the county government has been vacated, and now it is Doctor Zhang who is there to bring people to treat the disease."

Doctor Zhang is Zhang Bin, he is famous in Yangzhou, has a high prestige among the people, and the people of Yangzhou have nothing to disrespect as long as he mentions him.

Hearing that the county government was vacated, Chen Fan was also impressed by this Wang County Order, this person had mediocre political achievements in office and average ability, but he didn't expect the critical moment, but it was very rare.

"Very good, I won't go, so as not to make trouble for Old Doctor Zhang, you have done a good job, keep up the good work, and when the epidemic passes, I will personally ask for credit to Your Majesty for you."

No wonder Imperial Doctor Dou left with confidence, Wang He's dedication and understanding of righteousness are also one of the main factors.

"This is a matter within the subordinate's responsibility, the epidemic in Lu'an is rampant to this point, and I can't escape the blame, where do I dare to ask for merit and reward."

Wang He's expression was gloomy, and he was sincerely afraid, looking at his expression, he was by no means pretentious, but he sincerely blamed himself for it.

Chen Fan sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing.

He understands Wang He's mood very well, he is now the same psychology as him, every time he hears that the epidemic is critical, he always can't help but think, if he could find out one day earlier, would there be fewer deaths?

It's a pity that regretting and blaming yourself is useless, and you can only try your best to control the situation and minimize the damage that has occurred.

After inspecting Lu'an, Chen Fan hurried to several nearby counties to inspect.

The most serious situation in these places is Lu'an, and the other places are much better, and Lu'an was the first place to find the epidemic.

In the four or five nearby counties, some of them have done a good job like Wang He, but some of them have limited ability, cannot distinguish between priorities and are chaotic.

What's more, they are bent on shirking their responsibilities and underreporting or even concealing the epidemic in an attempt to get by.

Chen Fan immediately dismissed them from their posts on the spot, and replaced them with capable people to temporarily act as county magistrates, and personally guided the work, until order was in order.

After arranging all the other places in Jiujiang County, Chen Fan and his party went to Huainan, where the epidemic was most serious.

Not to mention the seriousness of the epidemic there, it is also at the junction with Xuzhou, and it is said that the initial county order was not effective, resulting in the rapid spread of the epidemic, not to mention, and even many people took the opportunity to flee to the Nanyang County area of Xuzhou.

After understanding the situation, Chen Fan had already notified Nanyang County, Xuzhou as soon as possible, and asked them to deal with it carefully to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

And Huainan has also become the front line of the fight against the epidemic, due to the large number of people, even if Dou Yun is in charge, the current situation is still very grim.

As soon as I stepped into the range of Huai'an, I felt that the atmosphere was very tense, and there were almost no people walking on the road, and it was empty like a ghost town.

Chen Fan's mood is very solemn, the epidemic in Huai'an has developed to such an uncontrollable point, as a state pastor, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

Due to the failure of the county order to tighten control at that time, many people in the local area have fled and brought the epidemic to the surrounding areas.

Chen Fan knew that the situation was serious, so he cleaned up the surrounding counties before entering Huainan.

Dou Yun was studying his condition with several doctors, and when he heard that Chen Fan was coming, he didn't come out to see him, but only asked someone to send him a list.

The above list is all kinds of urgently needed materials and medicines, some of which have not been prepared before, and Chen Fan can only quickly ask people to collect them.

The infection rate in Huainan is already very high, and there is a serious shortage of materials and medicines.

There was no choice but to send people back to Yangzhou to raise supplies, and at the same time send people to ask for help from other places, and at the same time send a letter to the emperor, asking him to hurry up to support Jiujiang County.

At this time, Liu Zhi was also busy with the epidemic, and when he first received Chen Fan's letter, he had already taken precautions and sent people to purchase food and medicine everywhere without confirming the epidemic.

When the news was confirmed, he immediately sent people to quickly transport the first batch of materials raised by the Beijing division to Jiujiang County.
