The entire quarantine area is very large, with severe, mild, and suspected patients who have not been diagnosed in separate areas. The partitions are hundreds of meters apart, and the wards are improvised with tents.

Under the strong opposition of Zhuge Min and others, Qin Mu did not go to the severe area, and he himself knew that he did not understand medical science, and it was useless to go.

The prescriptions of Shangguanneng and others are ineffective for seriously ill patients, and the current epidemic patients in the severe areas are actually waiting for death, which makes Qin Mu feel very heavy.

Now only the epidemic has been found in Daning Village and two nearby villages, and there are only more than 100 infected people, which is nothing, in case the epidemic spreads further, how to deal with the current medical conditions?

Qin Mu came to the condensation area, the inside and outside of the tent were also sprinkled with lime, due to the cold of spring, the temperature plummeted, and the patients inside were covered with thick quilts, and they were also wearing masks to avoid cross-infection with each other.

There was a faint smell of herbs in the tent, and I heard that Qin Mu came to visit in person, and the patients inside were very excited, but they were not crying bitterly, thanking the leaders for their care and love;

No one held the leader's hand with tears in his eyes, saying that he must obey the arrangements of his superiors, fully cooperate with the treatment, strive for an early recovery, and return to work as soon as possible to contribute his youth to Daming, burn his own heat, and make due contributions to the society.

After learning that it was Qin Mu who came to visit, several patients inside brushed and lifted the quilt, and some of them got out of bed by jumping, some by rolling, and some by climbing, but no matter what way they used, the movements were very fast, and they were so surprised that Li Shi and Niu Wanshan Huo Ran drew their knives and blocked in front of Qin Mu.

"Lord Qin, please, let us go, we are not infected with the plague, we are just suffering from ordinary typhoid fever. It's all right now, Lord Qin, please, let's get out of here. ”

"Lord Qin, please."

"Lord Qin, you can do it, as long as we let us leave, we will definitely set up an immortal card for you, and burn incense to worship sooner or later."

"Lord Qin"

Several patients lay on the ground and kept kowtowing. There was a gurgling sound, and some of their foreheads were black.

They have this kind of reaction, Qin Mu can still understand it, not only they have the fear of the plague, but even Qin Mu himself.

After all, there is no cure for the plague at the moment, and for these suspected patients, they certainly don't want to believe that they are infected with the plague, let alone locked up with the people who are infected with the plague.

Qin Mu had to be kind and reassuring: "You guys get up first." Get up, listen to what the official has to say, whether you are infected with the plague or not, it is indeed impossible to determine now. But think about it, if you really get infected with the plague, who will treat you when you go out? If you go out, you will not only give up your own life, but you may also kill your own family.

You need not be afraid. It is far from the severe area, and effective precautions have been taken, and the epidemic will never spread again. This official has recruited all the famous doctors in Huguang, and many famous doctors will treat you, whether you are infected with the plague or not, you will be cured quickly. ”

"My lord, but"

"Lord Qin, the villain is really not infected with the plague, you better let the villain go."

"No, you can't leave for the time being, this official is also for your good, don't worry, this official will not give up on you, you have to cooperate with the doctor, treat here with peace of mind, and when you cure the disease, you will naturally let you go home."

No matter how Qin Mu appeased, several patients just knelt and refused to get up, Qin Mu simply ignored it, and after checking their food, clothing and treatment, he left directly.

Since it is a mandatory quarantine, it is up to you whether you want to or not.

"Strict guarding, make sure that no one can sneak out." Not far from the tent, Qin Mu once again gave an order to Chen Youyi.

Chen Youyi hurriedly responded, Qin Mu suddenly saw an open-air latrine in the distance at this time, and his brows immediately furrowed, he had neglected this before, if he hadn't come to check it out today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have remembered it.

He immediately ordered to the superiors: "You can't use this kind of latrine in the future, remember that all patients' feces and urine must be buried deep in time to prevent the spread of germs through feces." ”

"Yes, sir."

Out of the quarantine area, Qin Mu took off the thick mask on his face and let out a long breath, the coolness in the cold wind penetrated his lungs, making people feel a lot more comfortable.

Later generations of history books recorded epidemics in the north, and the south does not seem to have been recorded, but this does not mean that the plague cannot spread in the south, and now, it has indeed spread to the south.

And apart from isolation and some common prevention methods, Qin Mu didn't know how to treat the plague at all, which made him feel deeply worried.

It is now mid to late February of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and Li Zicheng's army has reached Juyong Pass, and the destruction of the Ming Dynasty is imminent.

Once the city of Beijing is broken, the world will be even more turbulent, and the land of China will be reduced to a wrestling field of various shili, and Qin Mu does not know whether history will continue to develop according to the original direction due to his rise in Jiangxi.

At such a moment, there was also an outbreak of plague, which made the Huguang army and the people panic. How could Qin Mu not be worried?

Back in Xiangyin County, Qin Mu finally received a good news, with the cooperation of Meng Ke, Qin Mu's strategy of suppressing bandits and bandits has worked, and the Langli Jiao, which was rampaging through the waters of the Yangtze River in Chaohu Lake and Taiping Mansion, was broken by the two groups of water bandits who belonged to Qin Mu, and Langli Jiao himself was captured alive, and only fifty or sixty minions under his command escaped, and the rest either died or surrendered.

Xu Yingjie in Jiangnan, with the close cooperation of Huang Lianshan, also made very smooth progress. As soon as Langlijiao was exterminated, Xu Yingjie immediately organized a fleet to transport back the gold and silver treasures that had been brought in and the grain purchased in Jiangnan.

Meng Ke's thousands of sailors were all dispatched, plus the water bandits who accepted Zhao'an, not only provided escort for Xu Yingjie, but also joined the operation of transporting silver grain.

At present, the only one who can really threaten the safety of the Yangtze River waterway from Jiangnan to Jiangxi is Huang Degong of Luzhou, who is stationed there.

Huang Degong called Hushan, extremely brave, he started from a small soldier, worked hard with the Manchu Tartars in Liaodong for many years, and later entered the customs from Xiong Wencan to kill Li Zicheng and other rebels, and rose all the way to the chief military officer by virtue of his military exploits.

The year before last, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo joined forces to attack Zhang Xianzhong, who was entrenched in the Luzhou area, and Zhang Xianzhong was beaten to the ground, leaving only 2,000 people to flee to the Huangmei area.

Since then, Huang Degong has led the army to sit in Luzhou, and he now has about 100,000 horses under his command, controlling Luzhou, Lu'an, Chaohu to Wuzhou and other regions, but he does not have a sailor in his hands.

For a long time, Huang Degong and Qin Mu have no conflict of interest, and Luzhou is still some distance away from Qin Mu's territory, so they can still be at peace with each other.

But considering that such a large amount of money and grain to Jiangxi could not be concealed, in case Huang Degong's eyes were red, he might not send troops to stop the robbery, Qin Mu felt that this matter had to be prepared in advance.

In the second hall of the county government, Zhuge Min, Li Yingxin, He Tengjiao, Xu Yongshun and others were all sitting, Qin Mu did not avoid Xu Yongshun and He Tengjiao this time, and suddenly asked about dealing with Huang Degong, Zhuge Min did not say anything, but looked at He Tengjiao.

Among the people seated, He Tengjiao was in the most embarrassing situation, he was the governor of Huguang appointed by the imperial court, but he was completely emptied by Qin Mu.

Including Li Yingxin, these officials were all temporarily appointed by Qin Mu when he recovered Huguang, and He Tengjiao looked out of place on such an occasion.

"Lord Qin, this official is tired, so he will retire." He Tengjiao knew that he could not shake Qin Mu's authority, so he chose to retreat.

"Slow down." Qin Mu had no intention of letting him leave, although He Tengjiao was set aside, it was not a way to hang him like this, today Qin Mu asked everyone in front of him how to deal with Huang Degong, which was intended to test his reaction.

"What else is the matter with Lord Qin?"

"A few years ago, the official ordered to build water conservancy with work for relief, and Lord He braved the severe cold to personally go to the fields to supervise the repair of water conservancy, coordinate scheduling, and organize the law, so that the water conservancy of Huguang farmland has been greatly improved. Lord He can be said to have worked hard. ”

"Lord Qin, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." Speaking of these, He Tengjiao was a little unhappy in his heart, he was the governor of Huguang officially appointed by the imperial court, but he was called around by Qin Mu as a little minions, and now he still spoke to him in the tone of a superior to his subordinates, who would be comfortable in his heart.
