doctor knife in hand

After Song Heng left, Lu Jin immediately summoned several doctors and doctors who were mainly in charge. Now that the epidemic has broken out, how to treat and take care of it has become the top priority.

"Now the worst situation has happened, but fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the sick people were immediately isolated, and Mr. Song decisively burned the hardest-hit area to ashes. It stands to reason that we only need to control the patients in the quarantine area, and do not come into contact with them." Ordinary people, it is enough not to let the germs out of the isolation area. Even if these patients die, their bodies are cleaned up, and the living environment and everything they come into contact with are disinfected and burned, the epidemic can be ended.”

"Is it that simple?" Someone asked suspiciously.

Lu Jin said: "This is to ensure that all the patients are already in the isolation area, and that no one who comes into contact with them is infected or carries germs, and that the people in the isolation area are regularly taken care of, the house is cleaned, and the transmission of germs is eliminated. Ideally in isolation."

Any germ must have a carrier and a nutrient supply. If these two conditions disappear, the natural germ will have nowhere to rest and multiply, and it will die out.

After Lu Jin said this, everyone fell silent.

"It's unlikely." Dr. Yu said, "Just tonight, with so many people, it is impossible to completely distinguish patients from ordinary people. Is it all right? And you, Doctor Lu, also said that most germs are transmitted through water sources. The capital is so big and the underground water system extends in all directions. No one can say whether the excrement of these patients polluted the water source before today. In addition, mosquitoes, rats and ants are everywhere, this..."

Doctor Yu didn't continue, but everyone nodded with a heavy heart.

"Also, the number of officers and soldiers who went to the hardest-hit areas today is relatively large. Although they have showered and washed their clothes as required after they came back, they have also changed their clothes. After all, they have been in direct contact with those sick people, and they may have been infected sick."

An old doctor waved his hand upon hearing this, "This is actually not the most worrying thing. After all, we are always watching. Once someone gets sick and has symptoms, they can be sent to the quarantine area immediately. The old man is most afraid of those people in the east and south of the city." People, with a well-developed water system, if they don’t drink raw water directly according to our prevention and control plan, and accidentally get sick, I’m afraid there will be another Willow Alley!”

"Those rich and noble lords, I'm afraid they always thought that the disease was only in the north and west of the city."

"But if once the disease is found around them, it can run faster than a rabbit. As for tonight, tomorrow morning, let's see, many officials and family members will go out of the city to visit relatives and friends."

"The family members have all run away, and the next one to run away in this capital is the nobleman in the palace, so... the whole capital, isn't it just..."

"My wife and children are still here!"

"Me too, do I have to send them out before the news spreads?"

Everyone was chattering, and the topic had turned to the worst scene. Suddenly, people's hearts were floating, and some people in the family wanted to go back and tell them to pack their bags and go out of the city to seek refuge.

People have the characteristic of avoiding disasters and seeking blessings, Lu Jin knows, but the most important thing now is to control the epidemic, so that people's hearts cannot be broken first.

So he knocked on the table twice to call their attention, and said: "Master Song has entered the palace just now, please order the emperor to close the gates of the four sides, the entire capital can only enter, no one can leave. I will also ask the emperor to issue an order that no matter who is found, as long as the disease is found, it will be sent to the quarantine area."

Lu Jin's gaze was calm but cold, and everyone looked at him in surprise.

"I know that most of you present here have families in the capital, and I also know that everyone is not easy, and I am the same. Whether it is relatives or lovers, they are all fighting against this epidemic. Therefore, please continue to help me and everyone. .In this battle against the epidemic, if we win, the relatives and friends behind us will be safe and sound, but if we fail, we will lose the lives of our family and the lives of everyone in the capital."

"Doctor Lu is dedicated to saving and commanding people's admiration, but I don't know if the emperor has the determination like you to live and die with the people of this city?"

It was a relatively young doctor who dared to ask this question. He had once made a head for Ding Xiang before, and he asked the old doctor beside him to give him a hand.

Are the words of the emperor something ordinary people can talk about?

However, what Lu Jin hoped was a question from the young doctor. He said: "I don't know how long the emperor's determination will last, but as long as he doesn't leave, no one in this city can leave. If he wants to leave , Those high-ranking and rich people must first follow him and leave before it is the turn of the common people. At that time, think about what it will be like. I don’t want this to happen. I want to control the disease, find medicine, and defeat them. Instead of waiting for the bad situation to happen, you can only hold the dead body of your loved one and cry and curse, which will not help."

"The disaster has already happened. Now it is the most difficult time, and it is even more necessary for us to unite as one and fight with our backs. People say that the soldiers who defend the country are the bravest, but what we doctors are doing now is even greater, because the enemy we are fighting against cannot be cut. , the sword does not hurt, only the needle stone herbs in our hands can defeat it."

Lu Jin glanced at all the doctors who worked with him one by one. Among these people were imperial doctors, doctors from Huichun Hall, other doctors in the field, and masters from two temples... We shared weal and woe and rescued each other. After a few days of getting along with each other, Lu Jin saw their benevolent and righteous side.

"Doctor Lu, what do you think? For the sake of my family, I must not let the epidemic spread."

"Whether it's fighting a war or saving people, the most fearful thing is that if we rush to the front, the officials behind have already run away. Since the emperor has this determination, the ministers will naturally do their best." This is what a medical officer said.

"Damn, we worked so hard to save people, even the earth dragon turned over and passed, is it possible that we can still fall here?"

"The girls are not afraid, what are you afraid of as a man?" The young doctor looked towards Lu Jin.

Lu Xin and Lu Yao glanced at Ding Xiang and pursed their lips in joy. The latter blushed and looked away, but his eyes were still happy.

Another imperial doctor said: "If the epidemic can really be eradicated, it will be a great achievement. I am a layman, and I should ask Dr. Lu to help me to do it for me."

The imperial doctors had completely put down their dignity and looked forward to Lu Jin's immediate concern.

Lu Jin nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, everyone present here will remember that when the epidemic is over, they will report it to the imperial court immediately. Besides, I also have an idea, the discoloration of the plague will change after hearing it. If it is successfully eliminated this time, we will Deliberately publish a book on epidemic prevention and print multiple volumes, so that the world can understand the matter of epidemic prevention and control.”

As soon as Lu Jin said this, everyone's eyes lit up and they looked at Lu Jin eagerly.

Lu Jin didn't hold back, "The editors of this book are all of you present. All names, including me, are added according to the order of the surnames of hundreds of families. I believe that this book will be widely circulated."

As the book spreads, there are naturally editors, and this is the real reputation through the ages.

The world seeks fame and fortune.

For those who benefit, Lu Jin will take credit for them.

Famous people, along with the book of epidemic prevention, have been passed down from generation to generation.

What could be more exciting than these, no matter how hesitant the heart is here, it will settle down and fight the epidemic together with Lu Jin.

Lu Jin also breathed a sigh of relief.

The news of the discovery of the epidemic spread quickly, but fortunately it was carried out at night, the gates of the city had been closed, and the only way to go out of the city was to wait until dawn.

The well-informed people are already packing their luggage, arranging carriages, and preparing to leave Beijing as soon as the city gates open in the morning.

There were also people who were inquiring closely, and once they heard that Song Heng had entered the palace, they gave up the idea of ​​leaving Beijing.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the second day, regardless of the size of the official position, the rank of the title, or the imperial order, they were all stopped at the door.

"The emperor has ordered that no one should leave the capital. If anyone with a title is found, report it immediately."

The young general at the city gate leaned on the barrel of a gun, grinned at the servant who forcefully expressed his identity as an old lady, turned around and said to the adjutant behind him: "Write it down, whose family is this? The old lady of Anping Hou Mansion? This The epidemic has just been discovered, so I rushed out of the city to take refuge, the first one in Anpinghou's mansion, remember it, and report it to the emperor later."

The servants of Anpinghou's mansion became anxious immediately, he said: "Our old lady is returning home to visit relatives, how did you become an asylum, you can't talk nonsense."

"Oh, remember, the old lady said to go back to her hometown to visit her relatives."

The adjutant behind the young general nodded immediately, "General, remember it, and when I turn back, I will report that Mrs. Anpinghou is going out of the city, saying that I am going back to my hometown to visit my relatives."

"Well, the next one, go ask the reason, and put it up. We don't care if the emperor believes it or not."

Having said that, the Marquis of Anping became anxious immediately, and the curtain of the car was lifted, revealing the old lady who was sitting in a stable position. She raised her eyelids and looked at the young general and said, "General Fang, give the old man some face, this has never happened. , I will go back wherever I came from.”

General Fang spread his hands, "Okay, you can always go back, the imperial decree has been issued, even if the crown prince wants to leave the city, he will not let him go."

Mrs. Anping Hou nodded, said "thank you", the carriage curtain was lowered, and the carriage behind it turned back. The big boxes were more suitable for moving than visiting relatives.

Seeing that the Anping Hou's mansion returned home in defeat, the other families who followed behind did not dare to confront it head-on, so they could only return home in despair.

"General, are you really not going to report it?" the adjutant behind asked him.

General Fang shook his head: "If you don't report it, you won't report it. Besides, the emperor doesn't have the energy to take care of it. He's bluffing them. Keep the city gate secure, and we don't care about the rest."

Emperor Wen of Chu finally woke up, but what he received was this kind of news. Everyone in the Hall of Taihe was trembling, for fear that something might happen to the emperor.

Doctor Lu sighed, took the medicine bowl in, handed it to Eunuch Ying, thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... I don't know how many more times I can drink it."

No matter how steady Eunuch Ying's hand was, he couldn't help shaking his hand when he heard this. He quickly held it steady and carried it in.

"Wen Qi, you've done a good job... But for this matter, I must personally come... bring the medicine."

The black concoction was filled with an ominous smell, the medicinal smell was too strong, the prince raised his hand to cover his face, thinking that he was still too useless.

In the early court, Emperor Wen of Chu sat firmly on top of Dan Bi, while the quarrels below had already started.
