As soon as the old man heard Liu Haojia's identity, tears immediately flowed down, and after kneeling on the ground to pay homage, he said: "It can be regarded as waiting for the people of the imperial court!" ”

After Liu Haojia let him get up, he asked, "Since you are the temporary village head, you should know the situation in the village." Let me ask you, do you know how many people in the village are sick and how many are not sick? ”

Second Master Gu said: "My lord, half of the people in the village are already sick, and although there are no dead people yet, I am afraid that some people will soon be unable to support it!" ”

When Liu Haojia heard that the epidemic situation was serious, he immediately said loudly: "What do you mean by half? Is it half of the households, or half of all the Dingkou? ”

Liu Haojia chose Qinghe Village because it was the last place where smallpox was found, and the number of people who probably got sick could be smaller. But he was really scared to hear half of the number!

Second Master Gu was stunned for a moment and said, "The old man is talking about half of the households!" When the county officials came, they all spoke according to the number of households, so the old man was also used to it for a while! And not all the people who are infected have the disease, and there are still people who have not been sick! ”

Liu Haojia was relieved when he heard him say this, and said, "Then how do you deal with your patients?" Have you ever been quarantined? ”

Second Master Gu's eyes showed a blank look and said, "What is centralized isolation?" The sick of each family are served in each house! ”

Liu Haojia snorted when he heard this, and finally grabbed Meng Xianling's pigtail! He didn't even teach the villagers about centralized isolation, but hastily fenced off the area where the epidemic occurred, which was simply a matter of carelessness!

In fact, do not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, who knew the dangers of malignant infectious diseases very early and had certain ways to deal with them.

The first way is for the imperial court to come forward and concentrate manpower and material resources to deal with the epidemic. This method was most successful in the Song Dynasty. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they established a system of reporting the epidemic situation step by step, and once the epidemic was discovered, the imperial court would quickly close the epidemic area, and send imperial doctors to the epidemic areas to find the source of the disease, diagnose and treat the sick, and there were special funds for the use of the imperial doctors.

The second option is to quarantine. Since the Tang Dynasty, the government of all dynasties has known that infectious diseases must be isolated when they occur, so since the Tang Dynasty, every time a malignant infectious disease occurs, the local government will set up "epidemic rooms" to isolate and treat patients. This method can be traced back to the Han Dynasty.

Finally, there is the disposal of the corpse. The bodies of all persons with malignant infectious diseases must be buried under the supervision of the official uniform. The spread of the epidemic has been prevented to the greatest extent.

With the above means, coupled with the fact that transportation was not so convenient in ancient times, it was difficult for the epidemic to spread. Moreover, China also has a systematic system of traditional Chinese medicine, so there are few malignant infectious diseases that affect a large area in Chinese history.

Then Liu Haojia asked a series of questions, and Second Master Gu answered them one by one. Judging from the questions he answered, Liu Haojia knew that the epidemic prevention work was carried out very badly. So he immediately said: "From now on, everyone will obey the command of this officer!" Whatever the ruler wants you to do, you will do! ”

Hearing him say this, all the villagers were very happy to agree. And Liu Haojia's first order was to clear out several adjacent courtyards and open them, and arrange them into wards, ready to accept all patients.

Subsequently, the scope of movement of all the people in the village was strictly regulated, and contact with each other was minimized as much as possible. Then he sent people to the camp outside the village to retrieve the medicinal herbs and supplies he had brought. Later, the villagers were asked to circle two places on the shore with bed sheets for bathing. However, this bath is not made of ordinary water, but lime water.

There are many more issues that are being dealt with at the same time. However, when Liu Haojia dealt with things again, he deliberately asked Zhang Peilan to write it down. This made Wang Xinyi's envious eyes red! You must know that what Zhang Peilan recorded will definitely be checked by the imperial court, and this is the credit!

Liu Haojia's toss came to the evening, and this was the only way to straighten out the situation in the entire village. Then Liu Haojia dragged his tired body to his camp.

When they left, the villagers were terrified! When Liu Haojia explained that they were camping outside the village, the villagers quieted down. However, they kept standing at the entrance of the village, watching Liu Haojia and them approach their own camp before they relaxed and scattered.

When Liu Haojia returned to his camp, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in the distance. And the sound came from somewhere at the barricades. When he looked up, he seemed to see someone standing behind the barricade in the uniform of the prefectural order.

Liu Haojia didn't want to pay attention to him, but he thought that the sick people still needed treatment, and he couldn't get out of the epidemic area now, so he could only send his experience to various places through the Meng County Order, so he walked over with heavy steps.

Liu Haojia stood still not far from the barricade just now, and found that it was indeed Meng Xian Ling standing behind the barricade! And Meng Xianling was even more angry when he saw him!

Meng Xian Ling received a report from the soldiers, saying that Qin Cha had entered Qinghe Village directly, but he was so scared that he was scattered! If something happens to Qin Cha again, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around! So he immediately brought someone to come, but he was still a step too late!

When he arrived, he hurriedly inquired about the situation, and the officer said that he saw Liu Haojia and his party wearing strange clothes into the village! This made Meng Xianling completely regret it! Originally, he just wanted to follow what Ning Baiqiang said, and left Liu Haojia aside, without wanting to kill him.

But he didn't expect Liu Haojia to be so bold and actually go directly into the epidemic area! At this time, when Meng Xianling saw Liu Haojia, he said angrily and loudly: "Lord Liu, how did you get into the epidemic area? You don't know how to give disaster relief, but you should know not to cause trouble for others, right? ”

Liu Haojia snorted and said: "You said that the official doesn't understand disaster relief, but the official wants to tell you that you really don't understand disaster relief!" The official has already asked in the village, you have not set up an epidemic house, and you cannot arrange for someone to notify the people to quarantine! You're just sending food and herbs! It's just food, but there is no prescription for the medicinal herbs to be sent, and no one to guide the decoction of the medicines, so what's the use of the medicinal herbs being sent? This official will definitely participate in you! ”

Meng County Ling was stunned by Liu Haojia's words! Only then did I know that there is so much work to be done in epidemic prevention! That's the harm of dead reading! Scholars concentrate all their energy on the Four Books and the Five Classics, and they don't know what they have to do as officials, so many officials have to rely on their masters to help them handle official affairs after taking office.

But the master is also a scholar, so there should be problems. It's just that I have more contact with real things and more experience. But when it comes to strange problems, it's like numb claws!
