Chapter 132 Su Qinghe
Zhao Yan said, "There are abundant resources here, so it's not hard to get used to it."
The governor said, "Your Excellency is truly considerate of the people. I heard that you were assassinated a few days ago, and now you are personally leading the epidemic prevention team. I really admire you."
"Your Excellency is too kind. This epidemic came too suddenly and we are all trying our best to save it." He brought the subject back.
Unexpectedly, the governor said, "I've just reviewed the situation here. Please prepare all the relevant documents and files so I can send them back to my superiors. Once we get to Fuzhou, I'll have them send someone down as soon as possible to help you through this difficult time."
Zhao Yan already knew what the governor wanted. He felt that he had not taken the initiative to mention his merits and entertain him lavishly, so he was unwilling to let Fuzhou Prefecture provide him with funds. He sneered inwardly.
At this time, the governor said, "I heard that the river sturgeon here is very good. I wonder if Lord Zhao has tried it."
Although Zhao Yan was not afraid of him, he was not willing to tear his face off like this. If he could bring funds to Quanzhou Prefecture by maneuvering, he would be willing to do so.
He suppressed the chill in his heart and said in a normal tone, "I've tried it, it's indeed good. But in today's situation, let alone river sturgeon, even simple meals may not be available to the common people."
Having said that, the governor still did not say anything. Zhao Yan did not want to play any more tricks with him. Since he was unwilling to give it, Zhao Yan would not be polite to him anymore.
At this time, a yamen runner hurried over and said, "Sir... Ten more people died today. These people who were forbidden to leave are making a commotion in the streets. They forced their way in when they were told not to leave."
Zhao Yan happened to say to the governor, "I have something else to do and cannot accompany you any longer."
The governor was surprised, not expecting him to do this. He then said, "...then your Excellency, please go and do your work."
Zhao Yan nodded and stood up to follow the yamen runner when someone beside him also stood up and said, "My Lord Governor, can I go with you to take a look?"
Zhao Yan looked back at him. He had noticed when they were having dinner together that this man was dressed very simply, yet had a certain elegance. He was not picky about the food he ate, and it seemed as if he had been traveling hard and was just eating to fill his stomach.
When he stood up, Zhao Yan looked at him again. He was dressed neatly, with a handsome and elegant face. He was a very handsome man.
Perhaps because of what he had just seen while eating, Zhao Yan had some feelings for him, so he nodded and agreed to go together.
On the way, Su Qinghe asked many questions about the epidemic, and Zhao Yan told him the truth. The government office had set up a temporary residence and placed the patients in one place. The female patients were also separated and taken care of.
Su Qinghe praised this move as very good. In some places, once an epidemic broke out, female patients were not taken seriously. The fact that Lord Zhao could still consider these things really made people feel good about him.
Zhao Yan said, "But this is also a common method. The doctors are currently unable to confirm the type of epidemic, so they need to study it for some time. However, the situation is critical now, and they are unable to sleep all night."
"The main problem with epidemics is contagion. Never use things used by patients. Also, patients should wear a handkerchief on their faces. Everything they eat must be thoroughly cooked." Su Qinghe said.
Seeing that he really understood these things and was from Pharmacist Valley, Zhao Yan felt hopeful and asked him to stay and help the people.
Su Qinghe said, "Don't worry, sir. Even if you didn't tell me, I would still stay. Today I see that you are not someone who disregards the lives of the people, and I feel a little more confident that I can win."
The two had a mutual affection and were both concerned about the patients. When they reached the fortresses, Su Qinghe, using his identity as a Pharmacist Valley, spoke frankly, telling the people not to panic and to trust that their governor would find a solution. He then went on to explain some precautions.
After the people were evacuated, Zhao Yan said, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Su." Then he took him to the temporary residence in the government office to meet the doctors.
When he arrived at the residence, all the doctors and shop owners who had come to help were inside. When they saw him, they all stood up and said, "Greetings, sir."
Because Yu Huatang knew how to read, he was helping Dr. Luo organize the patients' cases. When he saw him coming, he came out from the back and saw the man behind him at a glance.
The man was dressed in white, looking elegant and graceful, gentle and polite, making people feel very friendly.
Su Qinghe happened to be looking at her. He didn't expect that there would be such a brave woman willing to stand up.
Zhao Yan quickly glanced at Yu Huatang and said seriously, "Dear doctors and bosses, this is Su Qing and Doctor Su from Pharmacist Valley. I just explained the situation to Doctor Su on the way here. From now on, Doctor Su will work with Daji to develop a prescription."
Everyone looked at Su Qinghe. Doctor Luo said, "He is Su Qinghe, a disciple of Master Jingu of Medicine Gu. I remember that during the great epidemic of 15 years ago, it was my master who cured the disease by helping a child. He even wrote a book called 'On Epidemics'."
Su Qinghe looked over and said, "I am indeed an inferior. However, those are all the hard work of Master. I have only learned a little bit from him."
Everyone's eyes were filled with eagerness when they heard this. Doctor Luo stepped forward, took Su Qinghe's hand and said, "With Doctor Su here, we are confident."
Yu Huatang also looked at Su Qinghe with great joy. The descendants of Pharmacist Valley were all truly powerful. Although she was not a doctor, she knew the value of Doctor Su.
At this time, Su Qinghe asked, "On the way here, I heard from the governor that there are special accommodations for women during epidemics. I want to learn about their situation first. Generally speaking, when an epidemic breaks out, female patients will fall ill more quickly. We can also prevent their situation in advance."
At this time, Doctor Luo said, "The case documents are all here. Miss Yu personally took care of them and helped to record and organize them."
Su Qinghe had originally noticed her because she was the only woman among a group of men here. Now, hearing that she was not afraid of the epidemic and diligently recorded these symptoms, he couldn't help but feel a liking for her, and his eyes became more eager. "Miss Yu, you have worked hard, but you must be careful when you are in direct contact with patients. The doctors also need your help."
Seeing his gentle words and his concern for the patients, Yu Huatang said happily, "We heard that the epidemic in Hui'an County was serious because the female patients were not separated from the male patients and the female patients were left alone, which led to the large-scale infection. After hearing what Doctor Su said today, our decision was correct."
While the two were talking, the other doctors had already left because they had other patients to treat.
Su Qinghe said modestly, "Miss Yu thinks highly of me. I also learned this from my master's notes."
Yu Huatang looked at Su Qinghe with a delighted face and said, "Doctor Su, you're too modest. Look, Doctor Luo was so happy to see you."
