After rebirth, I became a national teacher

More than twenty days passed in a flash.

The capital was very peaceful during this period.

No one expected that a huge conspiracy and crisis was actually brewing in secret.

In the densely populated South City and West City where most of the people live, many people have been infected with cough in recent days.

Initially, no one took it seriously, thinking it was just sore throat caused by the dry climate or seasonal change.

After all, coughs are generally caused by wind-cold. This season is far from the time to catch a cold, and a simple cough does not seem to be caused by wind-cold.

Who would have thought that after only a few days of coughing, he would start to have a high fever and cough up blood.

Even the most ignorant person realizes the seriousness of the matter.

Coughing up blood can be fatal.

Anyone who could spare a few hundred coins at home immediately flocked to the nearby clinic to seek medical advice and get medicine.

When I got there, I found that the clinic was packed with people, almost all of whom were suffering from coughs.

At this point, everyone was a little panicked.

For a time, all the medicines for treating coughing and coughing up blood in Beijing were sold out.

After another two or three days, many doctors and apprentices in the clinic also contracted the cough.

The doctors realized that something was wrong and immediately reported it to Huimin Pharmacy.

When faced with patients coughing up blood, doctors were initially worried that they had tuberculosis and would usually cover their faces with cloth for protection. However, even so, the doctors still got infected.

Suddenly, such a large number of people were infected with the disease, and it was very easy to spread between people. This can only mean one thing:

This is a plague!

If an epidemic breaks out in a megacity like Beijing with a population of two to three million, it will surely be an unprecedented disaster.

By then, I don’t know how many people will lose their heads.

Huimin Pharmacy did not dare to delay and immediately reported the matter to the Ministry of Revenue, which was in charge of the matter.

Ministry of Revenue

Cui Wenhai, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue in charge of civil affairs, was startled when he saw the word "plague" on the document from Huimin Pharmacy.

No one is not afraid of the plague.

The Huimin Pharmacy in the capital of the Wei Dynasty was directly under the Ministry of Revenue and had the power to supervise and direct all medical clinics and drugstores in the capital.

Similarly, once there is a large-scale outbreak of an epidemic, Huimin Pharmacy also has an unshirkable responsibility.

The doctors at Huimin Pharmacy were fine, after all, when an epidemic broke out people were needed for treatment.

But all the officials above, from the deputy ambassador of Huimin Pharmacy to the vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was in charge, could not escape the responsibility.

After reading the document, Cui Wenhai broke out in a cold sweat.

Huimin Pharmacy said that there were so many people suffering from the plague that the clinic was overcrowded, and in just two or three days, the herbs for treating related symptoms were sold out...

When it comes to plague, the more people are infected, the more difficult it is to control.

This is enough to show that the situation has become very serious.

He had no idea why so many people were suddenly infected with the plague.

But there is no time to pursue these.

The most important thing now is to contain the plague immediately and reduce the scope of infection as much as possible before the alarm gets worse.

Fortunately, although he had never dealt with an epidemic before, when he was the prefect of Raozhou, he carefully read the letter from the magistrate of Xingde County and knew the effective way to deal with it.

He was extremely anxious and immediately went to Jingzhao Prefecture to ask the Jingzhao Yin to cooperate in centrally controlling all the infected people.

How could the Jingzhao Yin dare to take charge of such an important matter, so he immediately reported the matter to his higher authorities.

When the cabinet received the urgent memorial, it reported the matter directly to Emperor Yong'an.

No one dares to take a plague lightly.

The same is true for Emperor Yong'an.

Upon receiving the news, Cui Wenhai and a group of important ministers were immediately summoned into the palace to discuss countermeasures.

Several ministers and Cui Wenhai were summoned into the palace almost when it was dark.

Everyone present was a smart person, and no one failed to understand the seriousness of the matter, so no one wanted to take on this hot potato.
