Chapter 636
Eunuch Zhang echoed: "Yes, Mr. Guo, your prescription is so miraculous, I think that as long as the people in Yangmei County drink your medicine, this plague will definitely be controlled."

Guo Qishuai said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness, Eunuch Zhang, let me tell you the truth, this prescription is actually very simple, and any doctor can make it, but this prescription contains the elixir that I refined with internal force. It is the main effect. Therefore, without the elixirs I refined, it would be useless for ordinary people to drink those medicines."

"No, Mr. Guo, you can use your internal energy to refine a little more pills, isn't that all right?"

Guo Qishuai shook his head and said, "I really can't do this. It takes half of my energy to refine a pill with internal energy. If it wasn't for His Royal Highness this time, I wouldn't spend so much energy refining this pill." medicine."

The prince said: "Thank you, Mr. Guo. Mr. Guo, in your opinion, how should we control this epidemic?"

"In my opinion, the best way to control the epidemic is to isolate people who are sick from those who are not sick. Those who are sick should be treated separately for mild and severe cases. For severe cases, use strong drugs, and for mild cases, use mild drugs. Once the herbal medicine is found to be effective for the disease, it can be given to more people. In addition, for the patients who died of ineffective treatment, it must be sparked quickly and cannot be buried, otherwise the virus will infect healthy people again."

After hearing this, the prince felt that Guo Qishuai's method was reliable, so he agreed on the spot.

But Eunuch Zhang said that if the dead person sparked, it might cause dissatisfaction among the people. Since ancient times, the people have been used to going to the ground for peace.

Guo Qishuai said: "Regarding this issue, Eunuch Zhang wants those low-level officials to enlighten the common people and tell them that if the patient's corpse does not spark, then the plague will not disappear, and the living people may be infected with the plague at any time. Let them Choose by themselves, which is more important, they will soon be able to tell."

The crown prince said: "Go ahead and do what Mr. Guo said. Whoever refuses to obey will be punished. When the country is in crisis, how can the people's habits be swayed? If you change it, you have to change it."

"The old slave knows."

Guo Qishuai's plague prevention and control law was quickly adopted by the crown prince. With the crown prince's order, all officials in Yangmei County dared not neglect. Some officials vacated their homes to accommodate patients with mild symptoms, and some vacated the red building. , for placement of critically ill patients.

All doctors are on standby [-] hours a day, ready to treat critically ill patients.

The prince decided to free all treatment costs for this plague. He also encouraged people with symptoms to take the initiative to seek medical treatment, and rewarded those who reported symptoms.

For officials who do not act, they are directly dismissed, and those who commit serious crimes are executed on the spot. For those officials who do hard work, they are not only promoted, but also generously rewarded.

After three days of fighting the epidemic, the number of plague patients in Yangmei County dropped from 500 on the first day to 100.

The common people applauded the prince's actions.

The prince sat on a luxurious chair, looked at Guo Qishuai and said, "Mr. Guo, your measures are really effective. Now, the epidemic in Yangmei County has been effectively controlled. I can't think of half a month. The plague can be completely controlled." .”

Eunuch Zhang also smiled and said: "Yes, Your Highness, the common people are now praising His Highness, saying that His Highness is wise, wise, and considerate of the people. If they become emperor in the future, it will be a blessing they have cultivated in several lifetimes."

Hearing such praise, the prince couldn't help laughing, and said, "Eunuch Zhang, how is the patient's condition?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness, we will follow Mr. Guo's method, first gather mild patients in a large room for treatment, and once we find that someone has turned into a critical patient, we will transfer that person to the critical ward. In the critical ward For some patients, the medicine is really uncontrollable, and Mr. Guo will use his internal energy to refine a pill for those people to eat. There are also patients who cannot be saved. His corpse, the old slave has already ordered the people to take it It was cremated."

The prince frowned and said: "About the cremation, do the common people have any opinions?"

"At first, the common people had opinions, but later, after Mr. Guo made some great arguments, they had nothing to say, and they all supported His Royal Highness to cremate the patients. Now, everything is in order, and the epidemic control is just around the corner."

Guo Qishuai said: "Dare to ask Eunuch Zhang, how did the previous people control the plague?"

Eunuch Zhang said: "We used to control the plague in the same way, but it was too cruel. Many people were unwilling to cooperate. In the end, the more the epidemic was controlled, the more people got sick. Will not take the initiative to see a doctor."

Guo Qishuai was surprised and said, "If you're sick, why don't you go to see a doctor? Why?"

"Because those who control the plague will not let you go back alive. Take the last time His Royal Highness's elder brother used extremely cruel methods to deal with the plague. Although he finally controlled the epidemic, he sacrificed five counties Two-thirds of the population. According to his method, one is found and one is killed, and one is burned until no one gets sick, and finally the plague is gone.”

Guo Qishai said: "This method is too cruel."

"However, this method is approved by the current emperor. The current emperor also said that as long as the plague is controlled, no matter how many people die, it is worth it."

The prince also said: "The Holy Majesty's decision is correct. Fortunately, for five years, the general Cheng Bihao couldn't bear to watch the sick people die because of his kindness. , and also implicated ten nearby counties, more than 3 people. In the end, there was no way. The holy decree ordered that the ten counties be sealed off with the army. Anyone who dared to leave the county would be shot. Those people were in In the county town, you can only wait for death. If you are in good health, you will be fine if you carry it over. If you are in poor health, you can only die. Since then, this dynasty has formed an unwritten rule that as long as there is a plague in a place, It will block that place, preventing people from entering or leaving, until the damned people are dead and the damned are alive."

Guo Qishuai said: "This method is really cruel."

The prince sighed and said: "Who says it is not, but we really have no other way. Take this plague as an example, Zheng Lei also said that he wanted me to seal up the entire Yangmei County and follow my elder brother's example. Fortunately, Guo The young master sits here, so that the crown prince can use another method to control the plague."

Eunuch Zhang bared his teeth with a smile, and said: "His Royal Highness, if we can control the plague in Yangmei County with the least casualties this time, then His Majesty will definitely hold His Highness in high regard. I will support His Highness the Crown Prince because of his good deeds, and at that time, the old servant wants to see who else dares to oppose His Highness the Crown Prince."
