Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

Su Mulan also had no intention of paying attention to such trivial matters as the name change of Da'anliang Temple. The first order upon arrival was to isolate the dozens of refugees with symptoms.

Anyone who has been in contact with these people during this period should be asked one by one if they have any signs of fever. Sure enough, a dozen old women also had fevers, but they could still move freely.

Su Mulan ignored everything and isolated these people. After thinking about it, she felt it was unsafe, so she also isolated people who had seen these refugees from a distance, including Yang Meng and others.

The medical officer in the county is a young old man named Li Yaozu. Su Mulan couldn't help but put a mask on him, and got a large bottle of alcohol ready before letting him go to see the patient.

Within half an hour, Li Yaozu diagnosed each of these refugees and concluded that they were suffering from typhoid fever.

The so-called typhoid fever was a concept proposed by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Han Dynasty. He believed that if a person goes against the four seasons of spring breeze, summer heat, autumn dampness, and winter cold, and cannot resist the invasion of external evils, diseases will occur.

Now that it is the twelfth lunar month, it is not possible to be exposed to the severe cold of winter and fall ill. This is typhoid fever.

What the hell is typhoid fever? Using ancient methods to cure today's diseases is not being stubborn.

But because of what Li Yaozu said, Su Mulan suddenly thought of someone, Wu Youxing, who wrote "On Plague". It was also this public announcement that clarified the difference between febrile disease and typhoid fever.

He advocated the theory of the cause of "violent qi", which was actually similar to the bacteriology of later generations.

However, for Su Mulan, she was not a medical student, so she naturally did not care about the importance of Wu Youxing's theory. She only knew that the several prescriptions developed by this man were feasible methods to treat and prevent the plague.

Because of those three years of special period, she was locked up in the community and could not go out. She was bored and watched a lot of popular medical science videos. Wu Youxing's prescription was not complicated, and she still had some impressions.

For example, Dayuan Powder is composed of seven herbs including betel nut, Magnolia officinalis, Caoguo, Anemarrhena, peony, skullcap, and licorice. But she doesn't know the specific effect, it's just a dead horse being treated as a living horse.

Seeing that she couldn't count on Li Yaozu, Su Mulan immediately asked the little old man if there were any of these seven herbs in the county. Li Yaozu stroked his long beard and said that there was one in the hospital.

This hospital is not a future hospital. At this time, there were three official schools in various states and counties: one was the Confucian Academy for scholars to study, the other was the Medical College, and the third was the Yin and Yang Academy.

Su Mulan ordered Li Yaozu to go back and get all the seven herbs, and sent someone to help him transport them.

Li Yaozu was quite dissatisfied. He also knew that Su Mulan did not agree with his diagnosis of typhoid fever. However, the former magistrate and now the magistrate Xie Chengan personally told him that he would obey Su Mulan's orders, so he did not dare to refute.

More than two hours later, Li Yaozu came back with medicinal materials, and Su Mulan explained to him in detail that these medicinal materials could be made into a medicinal drink to treat the plague.

However, Su Mulan doesn't know the specific proportion, and she has to rely on Li Yaozu to prepare it one by one based on pharmacology and the patient's individual conditions.

Although Li Yaozu's diagnosis was wrong, he came from a medical family and had real abilities. He calmed down and continued to diagnose the symptoms of these refugees. Combined with the seven herbs specified by Su Mulan, he finally found out.

However, twenty-one people still died during the experiment. Five other old women who had close contact also fell ill and died. But after that, the plague was miraculously controlled.

There was a potential for a major outbreak of the plague, but due to Su Mulan's timely handling and Li Yaozu's painstaking efforts, it was eliminated.

Three days later, the plague alert was lifted, and Su Mulan returned to the county town exhausted.

After a great disaster there will be a great epidemic.

This is because in the event of a natural disaster, the people who were already hovering around the food and clothing line suddenly no longer have enough to eat. Under long-term hunger, the body's natural immunity declines, making it easy to be attacked by bacteria.

If people have nothing to eat, they will naturally eat whatever they see, such as rats. These guys originally carried a large number of bacteria and viruses with them. As they were preyed on in large numbers by the refugees, the viruses were transferred to the human body.

The victims of the disaster in Anlan County and the refugees from other counties were promptly resettled by the county government, and there was no case of rat predation. But the dozens of people who were finally admitted had been hunting in the mountains and forests for months. What hadn’t they eaten?

Of the thirty-three people in total, twenty-one died, and only twelve able-bodied people survived. He also gradually integrated into the refugees of Daanliang Temple.

Back at the Su residence, before Su Mulan could take a break, Xie Chengan came to the door. He said with a change of expression that the plague was also on the rise in nearby counties. Fortunately, An Lan set up a checkpoint at the county border in time to prevent refugees from entering.

Regardless of her fatigue, Su Mulan quickly told him the specific situation of Da'anliang Temple's prevention and control of the plague, and sent someone to find Li Yaozu.

The plague is no joke. Although Anlan County has resolved the crisis, since there are also nearby counties, Li Yaozu is asked to bring prescriptions and medicinal materials to organize the prevention and treatment of the epidemic.

Xie Chengan was overjoyed to learn that Li Yaozu had researched the prescription, and quickly took the little old man back to the county government office to arrange the specific matters.

The New Year is here in a blink of an eye.

Anlan County is in a good situation. Although it experienced drought first and then an epidemic, both were dealt with in a timely and appropriate manner. Therefore, people still live their lives as usual this New Year.

But Xie Chengan, Su Mulan, and Li Yaozu were busy traveling to various prefectures, prefectures, and counties until February of the next year before they finally had time to return to Anlan to rest.

Due to drought, locust plague, and plague, the number of households in Jiangbei Province decreased by 50,000, which directly led to the loss of 200,000 people. Hundreds of villages have completely become no man's land.

However, even under such natural disasters, there are still animals that make a huge fortune for the country. For example, the seven-flavored medicinal materials needed for Dayuan Powder were purchased from other prefectures and counties after Anlan County's inventory was used up, and the money was paid by the Anlan County government.

As time went by, the smart man began to hoard the seven herbs. When Xie Chengan sent people to buy them, they paid ten times the price, but they were still unwilling to sell them!

Xie Chengan was furious, and without giving any rationale to them, he directly called in the officers and soldiers from Lao Shiba's Qianhu Branch to raid the homes of these medicinal merchants.

He is not a general informing the government, he is a general who has led the sentry horse battalion to the battlefield and massacred tens of thousands of foreigners! Don't rub sand in your eyes.

At this time, if someone dared to give him eye drops, Xie Chengan had restrained himself by not killing anyone.

Now that troops and horses were mobilized, not only the medicinal merchants, but also some grain stores that were hoarding grain but not selling it were also raided by his people.

As a result, more people will be offended. Which of these drug dealers and grain dealers has no one behind them?

The matter was brought to the Chief Envoy Han Shouyue. He had known about Xie Chengan for a long time. When he captured the Prime Minister of Meixian County and Chief Xia in the battle of Da'anliang Temple, he jumped over the hierarchy and handed it over to him.

Moreover, he also knew that Xie Chengan came to Beijing with grain supplies last year and had made great military exploits, which even the current emperor Yu Shaobao valued. Therefore, Han Shouyue naturally protected Xie Chengan and suppressed the backlash.
