The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, the group came to the large iron pot at the northeast corner of the city gate again, and continued to be busy sorting the medicinal materials at noon.

Time passed, and when Lu Xiuyuan finished his work, he began to inquire about his medical history from room to room.

Every patient is not spared, the workload is heavy, and it has to be done. After all, unlike modern times, there are testing tools that can easily find out where the source of pathogenic bacteria is. In this backward era, only a large number of medical histories can be used. to infer this result.

Fortunately, Emperor Tian paid off, after half a day, Lu Xiuyuan finally questioned all the patients, and finally came to a more reliable conclusion.

There is a problem with the river water in the city.

The reason why the outbreak of the plague has not been brought under control for so long is probably because people did not discover the source of infection in time, and they have been drinking polluted river water.

Longmenguan has a special geographical location. The river in the city is formed by the melting snow on the Daxue Mountain. Although there are wells in the city, the people believe that drinking snow water can prolong their lives, so most families in the city have been drinking water from the river.

Now that the weather is cold outside and charcoal is in short supply in the city, how many families can drink sterilized boiled water?

Germs have polluted the river water, and as long as people continue to drink unsterilized river water, it is impossible to control the disease.

Lu Xiuyuan told Dr. Xu the result of the calculation, and the other party agreed with him. After the two sides reached a consensus, the soldiers who asked for help blocked the river first, and the people were not allowed to fetch water for the time being.

After finishing these tasks, Dr. Xu took Quartz to treat the seriously ill patients, while Lu Xiuyuan went to the General's Mansion.

The General's Mansion is very close to the North City Gate, and Lu Xiuyuan arrived at his destination not long after walking.

Because of the badge, and the fact that he had been here a few times before, the guards at the gate knew each other. When he said that he needed to find General Shi, the other party led him to the living room, and then went to the front to report.

When he came to the living room, Lu Xiuyuan had just sat down when General Shi came in. He was a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be so fast, his eyes turned behind him, and Shi Yunchen came along with him.

Their eyes met, and their eyes were entangled.

Ever since he made up his mind, every time he looked at the young master, he felt that he couldn't get enough of it.

"Cough cough!"

General Shi coughed twice, interrupting their gaze.

Only then did Lu Xiuyuan look away, and began to explain the purpose of coming this time.

"After several days of consultations, I probably guessed that there is a problem with the river water in the city. I also want to trouble the general to send someone to post a notice telling the people not to go to the river to fetch water for the time being."

"The plague originated from river water? Are you sure?" General Shi asked.

"Eight out of ten. Nine out of ten."

Lu Xiuyuan briefly explained the medical history information obtained from the inquiry to the other party.

General Shi pondered for a moment, since most of the patients got sick after drinking the river water, from this point of view, the river water problem is indeed quite serious.

He casually greeted the people under his command, "First build a fence around the river, and send a few more people on duty. By the way, you must explain the ins and outs to the people who come to fetch water, and let them go back and tell the neighbors to go to the well on the street to fetch water." water."

After the order was finished, after the subordinates left, the other party still looked a little worried.

"Lu Xiucai, did Doctor Xu say something polluted the river? How can we get rid of it?"

Lu Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied: "There is nothing wrong with the river itself. Lu speculates that there may be a problem with the source of the river water."

"There is no basis for what you say, Lu Xiucai, do you have any basis?" General Shi asked.

"It is estimated that the animals on the mountain were frozen to death due to the heavy snow some time ago. Afterwards, the corpses rotted and melted snow water flowed into the small river in the city. The people drank the polluted water, which led to this epidemic."

The origin of the ancient plague is nothing more than these reasons, and Lu Xiuyuan just mentioned the most likely one.

General Shi held his chin and thought, what the other party said seemed to make sense.

"In addition to closing the river, do we need to line up troops to go to Daxue Mountain to investigate?"

The temperature outside is still very cold now, and the snow in the mountains has not yet melted, so it is a bit difficult to go up the mountain. Besides, there is the Goudai people on the other side of the snow mountain. Unless there are special circumstances, it is not recommended to go up the mountain at this time.

Lu Xiuyuan thought for a while and gave an answer.

"Why don't we wait for the treatment for a while to see the effect? ​​If the number of new cases is greatly reduced after the river is blocked, and then consider going up the mountain to check the source, what does the general think?"

After a while, the temperature will be higher, the snow will melt, and the road up the mountain will be easier, so I agree with this statement.

"That's it over there!"

As a result of the discussion, Lu Xiuyuan was afraid of hindering the other party's work, so he offered to leave.

Seeing this, Yun Chen knocked on his palm, and suddenly said: "I just want to see if there is any trouble at the porridge, Lu Erlang, why don't we go together."

Lu Xiuyuan's heavy heart was diluted a lot by the young master's voice. He turned his head and waited for the other party to follow, and the two left the general's mansion side by side.

General Shi, who was behind him, looked at the background of the two of them. He was in a bad mood, and suddenly became even more upset!

Staring fiercely at the door, he couldn't help grinding his teeth, when will the eldest brother come back?Can you take care of them!

Spring is born, summer is long, and autumn is harvested in winter.

After the Awakening of Insects, ninety-nine is over, the spring thunder suddenly moves, and everything recovers.

The cold winter is about to pass, and the warm and suitable spring is about to usher in.

After this period of intensive isolation treatment, except for a very few patients with relatively weak constitutions, all other patients are in good condition.

After the river was blocked, the number of new patients dropped sharply. Until now, almost no people have been infected again.

Looking at the empty greenhouse in front of him, Lu Xiuyuan felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

However, there were also problems that troubled him during this time.

He glanced at the place where the porridge was being served across the street. Since Shi Yunchen's elder brother came back, he hadn't seen the young master very often, and he didn't know if his elder brother had discovered something.

It didn't take long for Lu Xiuyuan to be entangled in his heart before he was distracted by the quarreling noises next to him.

"Why don't you let me fetch water? I'm in a hurry to cook at home!" A middle-aged woman said fiercely to a soldier next to her with a bucket in her hand.

Because there is a fence by the river, it is only necessary to send one person to watch here. When the soldier saw that some people were about to break in, he patiently persuaded him: "Auntie, the general said that the river here is not clean. Go to the street and get the well water for cooking."

"Where is it not clean? I see that the water is very clear. There are dozens of people lining up in the well on the other side of the street. The little baby should not get in the way. My aunt has no time to cook." After finishing speaking, the woman wanted to rush in to get the water. .

The soldier probably encountered this kind of person for the first time, he was taken aback, and quickly reached out to stop him, almost letting him succeed.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the situation over there, thinking that if the source was not resolved, the matter would never be resolved.

Thinking of this, he no longer delays, some things are better resolved quickly.

I went back and informed Dr. Xu, so I came to the General's Mansion again.

The guard led him to the living room, and the general came over after a while. Lu Xiuyuan got up and told the other party what happened just now.

"The water wells in the city can no longer meet the needs of the people. If we don't find out the source of the pollution as soon as possible, I'm afraid some big-hearted people will drink the water in the river. Then all the previous efforts will be wasted." Lu Xiuyuan looked worried.

When General Shi heard this, his expression was serious, "Okay, I know about this, Lu Xiucai, you have worked hard, why don't you go back and rest first, I will gather the army later and send a team up the mountain to investigate."

Although General Shi was not too optimistic about the relationship between Lu Xiuyuan and his younger brother, but after such a period of time, Lu Xiucai has been earnestly and dedicatedly helping the people in the city to treat illnesses, so he has a good impression of him.

When Lu Xiuyuan heard that the other party wanted to drive him back, he quickly asked: "General Shi, can you take Lu to the mountain together later?"

Although the snow had melted a lot outside, the temperature was getting colder. Lu Xiuyuan was a little worried that the army didn't check carefully, or that they didn't handle it cleanly. He wanted to see for himself what caused it.

General Shi originally didn't intend to agree, but seeing the other party's firm attitude, he finally chose to bring him along.

When the army's drills were over, General Shi began to select the men who would go up the mountain.

After counting a few experienced soldiers, the guard at the door rushed in hastily.

"Report! Report to the general! The door..."

Xiao Bing pointed at the door, and before he finished speaking, everyone saw the long-lost Mr. Du Jian, with his hands behind his back, striding forward with his head held high.

"Where is General Shi going to send troops? Why didn't you tell our family?"

General Shi glanced at the other party, then looked away lightly, "It's nothing else, just go up the mountain to clean up the dirt, why is Mr. Dujian coming here when you have time?"

General Zhou Shen who was next to him saw the capital prison, and thought inwardly that it was terrible. Why did the plague god come out at this time? At this critical moment, he wouldn't come to find fault again, would he?

Sure enough, as soon as General Zai finished speaking, the capital prison began to criticize angrily.

"General Shi is using our family as a decoration? You don't know how to use the army. When the Holy Spirit blames you, how can you ask our family to explain it?! This is a serious crime of beheading!"

General Shi said with a blank expression: "It's just going up the mountain to clean up the dirt, and it's not sending troops to fight against the ground. I'm going to take it seriously."

Hearing this, the guard's eyes widened, and the other party stretched out his hand and gestured, "No matter how small it is, as long as the army is mobilized, it must be reported to the Holy Majesty! If it is secretly concealed, it is dereliction of duty! General Shi does not want to be blamed by the Holy Majesty." Bar?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and looked at the army, "The ones selected here are all elites, but they are just cleaning up a dirty thing, can they still be used?"

The other party casually pointed to the direction of the kitchen in the northwest, "Aren't there still those old, weak, sick and disabled? After raising them for so long, it's time for them to contribute."

General Shi looked at Du Jian messing around in front of the soldiers, his hands behind his back had long been clenched into fists, but he could only suppress his anger and asked, "Master Du Jian is here for more than this, right?"

Du Jian cleared his throat, and noticed from the corner of his eye that the soldiers around him were all staring at him, so he stepped forward and whispered the purpose of coming.

When General Shi heard this, he immediately became furious, "Master Dujian, it's better not to make such deadly jokes!"

"You! Be polite with our family! Don't forget that tomorrow is the time to write a letter to report the situation to the Holy One!"

Du Jianqi's face turned red, he just made a small request, at this time Yunqi actually blatantly refuted his face in front of so many people!

This matter involved his own principles, General Shi couldn't bear it anymore, and said directly to the deputy next to him: "Master Dujian is tired, you can find some people to send Master Dujian back to have a good rest."

When the deputy heard this, his general finally couldn't bear it anymore, and happily came over to support the capital prison and left.

In front of so many people, being treated like this, the prisoner's entire popularity is going to smoke, he has never suffered such a great humiliation!

"Shi Yunqi! Remember what you did today! Our family will make you regret it in the future!"

When General Shi heard the other party's threat, he just licked his ears. He didn't have time to pay attention to the capital prisoner now.

After the figure of the other party disappeared, Zhou Shenjiang went up from behind and patted General Shi on the shoulder, and said boldly: "General! Although I don't know what that dead eunuch whispered in your ear, we brothers all support you! If something goes wrong, everyone will bear it together!"

"Take it together!" The soldiers nearby said in unison.

Seeing the scene in front of him, General Shi smiled and bumped General Zhou's elbow, "You have the nerve to say, with your impulsiveness, every time something happens, I'm not responsible for you?"

Zhou Shenjiang scratched his head in embarrassment, and grinned at the other party.

The harmonious scene didn't last long, and General Shi began to assign tasks seriously.

Since he guards Longmen Pass himself, he usually doesn't go out easily. After counting the manpower, it was decided that General Zhou would lead a group of people to gather by the river and set off for the snow-capped mountains.

Since we want to find the source of the pollution, we must go upstream along the various small streams.

On the way up the mountain, many times they saw the water flowing down the rock wall in front of them, but everyone suffered from the steepness of the rock wall and could not climb up directly. They had no choice but to walk a long way around the water stream to reach the top of the water stream. Keep looking for the source.

Because the distance is difficult to walk, the task progress is very slow.

However, General Zhou has brought tents and food. If they can't find them before dark, everyone will temporarily sleep overnight on the snow-capped mountains.

As time passed, the small stream in front of them finally turned into a stream, and the teams that were separated at the foot of the mountain also joined together as the stream merged.

General Zhou Shen directed everyone to sit down and rest for a while, and exchange information with each other.

At this time, a soldier in the team was extremely tired. Seeing that he could sit down and rest, he couldn't care less, so he wanted to go forward and drink snow water to quench his thirst.

"Don't!" Lu Xiuyuan quickly slapped off the opponent's hand, "I haven't found the source of pollution yet, so it's better not to touch this water for now."

Seeing that it was Lu Xiuyuan who stopped him, the soldier felt a little unconvinced, "We've been walking for a long time, but we haven't found any dead animals. The snow water is so clear, how could it be poisonous?"

"Whether it's poisonous or not, you can't tell it with your eyes, so be more careful." Lu Xiuyuan advised.

The soldier frowned, feeling a little troubled in his heart, "But I'm too thirsty, and eating snow won't quench my thirst at all."

Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan took out the bamboo tube of water that the young master had prepared for him, and handed it to the other party, "Let's drink this first."

After Zhou Shen communicated the situation with them and found that the other teams had not detected any abnormalities, he went up to search before the sun went down.

Now that the current of the pursuit is stronger, the road next to it is easier to walk, and everyone advances quickly on the mountain road.

Lu Xiuyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at General Zhou who was next to him. After walking so far, he didn't sweat a single drop. This made him a little envious of his physical fitness.

Looking at the unreachable peak in front of me, I don't know when I will find it.

Fortunately, not long after, when Lu Xiuyuan was about to lose his legs, he suddenly heard the surprised voice of the pathfinder in front of him.

"Found it! Found it!"

He looked up and saw the little soldiers on the steep slope waving to this side. He was overjoyed, and instantly lifted his spirits, and followed the crowd up the last steep slope in front of him.

After he managed to climb up the steep slope, he found that the front of him suddenly opened up, and a pool of water was quietly unfolding in front of everyone.

Lu Xiuyuan squeezed forward, and sure enough, he saw the corpses of about a dozen animals soaking in the pool. Because it had been too rotten for too long, he couldn't bear to look directly at them.

But everyone is a person who has seen the world, and no one lost his composure at this time.

The team finally found the source, and General Zhou felt a lot more relaxed. He turned his head to Lu Xiuyuan and asked, "Lu Xiucai, do you want to clean up the corpses of these animals so that the water in the city can continue to be used?"

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at Tan Zhong's corpse, "There are too many corpses. After cleaning up, all the water pools here, including those along the way, must be thoroughly disinfected before they can be used."

General Zhou Shen nodded to show that he understood, and began to direct the soldiers to dig a hole to fish out the dead animals and bury them.

When they salvaged the animal carcasses, Lu Xiuyuan stood aside and watched. After the first animal carcass was fished out, he suddenly discovered something was wrong.

"General Zhou, look at these corpses, almost all of them are cattle, horses and sheep?!"

When everyone heard this, they stopped their movements one after another and looked at it. It seemed that there were indeed dead bodies of cattle, horses and sheep floating in quite a pool of water. How could there be livestock on the snow-capped mountains?

General Zhou reacted quickly when he saw this. He pointed to the side of the snow-capped mountain in front of him and roared angrily, "Goudai! I want to fuck/your eighteen generations of ancestors!"
