Chapter 65: The Great Epidemic in Guangyang
There was a cry in the county office, and Liu Bei had no choice but to persuade him with good words, and persuaded this and that, but he couldn't persuade any of them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info cried even more sadly, as if he was about to die. Liu Bei was impatient and shouted, "Don't cry! Have you had enough crying? I've cried enough to listen to this official! Otherwise, your life or death, this official really doesn't care! ”
This person is really cheap, you can persuade him, one by one hypocritically. This one shouted, but he stopped crying and came back to his senses one by one. looked at Liu Bei with blank eyes.
Liu Bei said angrily: "Sit down and listen to me!" ”
A fat man said: "It's rude, please let the county allow me to change my clothes." ”
Liu Bei glanced at this fat man, Fang is a big local tyrant, who opens a silk shop in the city, and his business is all over Youzhou, but he is very kind, he has always been kind to others, and he often engages in charity activities such as soup kitchen, but his courage is really small, he cried the most fiercely just now, and now his face is full of tears, and both eyes are red. Liu Bei sighed secretly, thinking that the richer he was, the more afraid he was of death, the same in ancient and modern times. Liu Bei said: "You don't have to change your clothes, that's it, you still have to do things after you finish speaking, so don't waste time." ”
Everyone was only the only one, and they didn't dare to say much, so they wiped their sleeves on their faces indiscriminately, and sat down in turn. Listen to Liu Bei's orders.
Liu Bei thought about it, and some prevention and control methods in later generations began to come to mind. Then he said: "The plague is not terrible, what is terrible is that the spread of the plague is uncontrollable, as long as the signs of plague infection are controlled, there will be death, but it will not cause large-scale death." Of course, if the spread of the plague is to be controlled, everyone has to work together. ”
Someone asked in a whisper: "County Zun, can this epidemic really be controlled?" This is the wrath of the plague god! ”
When encountering this kind of super superstitious ghosts and gods, Liu Bei didn't know how to explain it, he told them about microorganisms, bacteria, and the like, and they couldn't understand it. The point is that he is not an atheist himself, otherwise how can he explain that he came here from the afterlife?
Liu Bei had no choice but to say: "Most of the gods are high, how can their eyes stay on me and other mortal fools for too long?" The gods regard all beings as ants, and even if we are provoked, they will not kill them all. This is the virtue of a good life in God. ”
Liu Bei was about to tear it off, when he saw that the fat man was small, his eyes flashed, and he said happily: "Could it be that the number of Dayan is fifty, and there are nine ...... of forty."
Before the fat man finished speaking, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he quickly interrupted: "Yes, the Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and there is one, that one, which is the glimmer of life left by God to us, a trace of variables." So as long as we grasp this one, grasp this variable, we don't have to fear this terrible plague! ”
This is from the obscure and incomprehensible words in the lofty I Ching, which calmed everyone down at once, although they still doubted the faith, but they no longer talked about the epidemic.
The fat man said happily: "I know, I know, the county has grasped that variable, so he is not afraid?" I'll just say, the county is both talented and civilian, and has studied through the past and the present, which has not been seen in the country for more than 300 years, how can such a heroic figure be afraid of the plague......"
This fat man was afraid that he would not die if he got up, and he had a gushing posture, so Liu Bei had to quickly interrupt: "Stop, stop, get down to business!" ”
Then Liu Bei continued: "Although I don't have a complete cure for the plague, I am sure that it can effectively curb the large-scale spread of the plague. So, don't worry at all, as long as we work together to get things done, the risk of spreading the plague will be minimized. Let's think about it, is it safe in Guangyang City, where there are various prevention and control measures, or is it to flee out of the city, and I don't know when the plague will come to the door safely? If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the whole family, right? If you go out of the city and get sick, then if you don't get it right, the whole family will die! In Guangyang City, there is no need to worry about this. ”
Maybe it was Liu Bei's sincere and firm words that moved everyone, or maybe the weak were used to clinging to the strong when they were in danger. After a while, everyone accepted Liu Bei's suggestion, and after a few breaths, someone took the lead and asked, "County Zun, then what should we do?" ”
Liu Bei said: "Since it is control, it is necessary to focus on prevention and prevent large-scale and large-scale outbreaks of epidemics. I decided to set up the Guangyang Health and Epidemic Prevention Department, Liu is not talented, I hope Mao Sui will recommend himself and add him as the director, and you will be the deputy director along with the county and the county lieutenant! ”
All of a sudden, everyone was quietly discussing below, and they were very interested in this epidemic prevention department. Liu Bei said: "In the future, this epidemic prevention department will become the only institution in Guangyang County in terms of disease prevention, health management, and inspection of the source of the epidemic." Of course, our main goal now is to work together to develop a sound set of rules and regulations to deal with the pandemic. ”
Everyone knows that this regulation is similar to the law, but everyone has never played this before, so Fang is said: "The county must have a fixed plan in his heart, it is better for the county to propose, and we will second, how about it?" ”
Liu Bei shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, forget it, don't engage in any democracy, let's just say it, and let them check and fill in the gaps.
So he said: "The official already has some ideas in his heart, since this is the case, I will throw bricks and lead the jade, and tell everyone to listen, and then everyone listens to it, and if there is anything that needs to be added, let's discuss it, okay?" ”
The crowd nodded yes again and again.
Liu Bei told him a rule he had in mind. First, martial law is imposed in the city, and you are not allowed to enter but not to leave. Second, the people and animals that come in must go through strict inspection and registration before they can be released. Third, divide the city into several districts, and each district is responsible for a person present, leading the soldiers, lieutenant chiefs and others in the area to investigate the situation, and once a patient is found, he will immediately be sent to the quarantine area to be established, and if anyone dares to hide the patient, the whole family will be isolated. Fourth, special personnel collect drugs for centralized use in the county. Fifth, the county lieutenant was appointed to lead people to carry out the city's sanitation and cleaning work, digging ditches and filling ditches, eliminating flies and maggots, throwing lime, and so on, so as to do a good job in public health in the city. Fifth, distribute manuals to all residents in the city, so that everyone should pay attention to washing hands before and after meals, cooking meals, not defecating anywhere, and wearing sewn cotton masks at home and out. Sixth, if a sick person dies, the body is immediately burned and not buried......
Liu Bei said everything he could think of in one go, and then looked at everyone and said, "That's all Liu can think of." If you have any good ideas, you can talk about them and discuss them together. ”
Everyone thought to themselves, you basically talked about everything around this anti-word, what else do you want us to talk about? So one by one, the sycophants were like a tide, and they didn't want to die.
After the promulgation of this regulation, which Liu Bei named "Guangyang Health and Epidemic Prevention Management Measures", panic inevitably began to arise in Guangyang City.
Rumors spread everywhere, some said how many people died today, some said that Liu Bei closed the city and did not let everyone flee for their lives, and wanted everyone to die, and some said that the county officials had already fled in advance, and so on, which made people panic. There are also some lawbreakers who take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, throwing a brick here and setting a fire there. Guangyang City was about to fall into chaos.
At the moment of crisis, Liu Bei, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant acted separately, each with a number of Guangyang magnates, who appeared in the Guangyang city well, and explained to everyone that he still insisted on his post and remained in Guangyang City.
Liu Bei was even more cordial to talk with everyone, patiently answering everyone's questions, Liu Bei was frank and admitted, admitting that there were signs of the plague at present, but he also admitted that he had united with the gentry in Guangyang City and found a way to control the large-scale outbreak of the plague. The health and epidemic prevention regulations promulgated are one of them, and I hope that everyone will listen carefully and implement them carefully. Make your own contribution to the safety of yourself and the lives of the residents of Gwangyang City. In the end, Liu Bei said "affectionately", no matter when, he will not leave, he and his mother and his wife will stick to Guangyang City with everyone until the Guangyang epidemic passes, otherwise he and his family will not go out of Guangyang City!
Liu Bei's sincere words and resolute attitude won everyone's cheers and approval, and people's hearts were stabilized because of this, everyone looked at this young county order, and they no longer felt panicked in their hearts, because they had the backbone, Liu Bei would be with them!
And Liu Bei was also merciless to those lawbreakers and troublemakers, and after being caught, he was punished in public, and then imprisoned. With one hand soft and the other hard, under the double attack, the rumors in Guangyang City were quickly extinguished, and everyone's life order returned to its original place.
In the following days, Liu Bei began to get busy, urging the construction of isolation areas, transferring patients one by one, and then nursing. The quarantine area was built very clean and tidy, and the doctors were recruited, wearing protective clothing that Liu Bei had changed under Liu Bei's guidance, and the patients were administered one by one according to their priorities. Outside the quarantine area, the city was divided into several pieces, and those local tyrants with big bellies, also wearing masks, led the slaves to patrol one by one. Urge everyone to pay attention to personal hygiene, do not spit, do not throw garbage...... The county lieutenant worked hardest, leading his men to clean up the smell, burying the original garbage piles one by one, sprinkling quicklime, and sweeping all the dark places in the city that were easy to breed flies and insects one by one. to avoid the growth of bacteria. In addition to leaving the city, people are allowed to enter the city, as long as they pass strict inspections and strict registration.
Recently, Liu Bei asked people to buy drugs to prevent and control epidemics, and he asked the county doctor before, do you know if you know the flavor of banlangen? The doctor thought that this talented county magistrate had come up with something new, and asked vigorously, but Liu Bei made a comparison, and after talking for a long time, the doctor understood that Liu Bei was really blue......
At this time, Lanshi is already a traditional Chinese medicine that clears away heat and detoxifies. After Liu Bei figured it out, he asked the county to prepare these medicinal materials and distribute them to every household for everyone to boil soup and drink.
As the days passed, the number of infected people dropped sharply after reaching a peak, and now no new patient has been found for several days. Everyone was cheering, feeling that they had come back after a turn in the ghost gate. One by one, they waited for Liu Bei, the county lord who took them to escape from death, to announce the end of the Guangyang epidemic.
