663 The difference is obvious
That night, Mr. Huang and Tongzhi Ou went to the inn again.
"My Lord, Zhu Yuanzheng, General Hao sent someone to deliver a message that patients with the disease have been found in villages and towns near the worst-hit areas, and the number is quite large. Some county magistrates are afraid of being held responsible, so they have more or less concealed some of the information.
General Hao is leading people to separate the sick people, and these places must be sealed off."
What Zhu Yuanzheng fears most is this kind of situation spreading everywhere, which will be difficult to control at any time.
"Master Huang, I was just talking to Sicheng about how, even though it's been so long since the flood, there are still places where epidemics have started. This can only mean that the various corpses could not be drained away, thus contaminating the water source.
Sun Sicheng said, "We brought a lot of medicine from the capital this time, but if this is the case, the medicine is far from enough. Mr. Huang should prepare it as soon as possible."
Ou Tongzhi frowned and said, "As for medicinal materials, before you came, the Huo family donated a lot, and other big medicinal materials owners also donated a lot. After such a long time, the government's treasury is almost empty, and it may be difficult to collect donations again.
The influence of the Huo family in medicine is not small here, but unfortunately he himself is also ill. "
Sun Sicheng remained silent.
The area affected this time is not small. Even though Yuhang is wealthy, it could not withstand more than two months of disaster relief. Water and fire are merciless. It is lucky that people can escape. How could they have time to bring out much food?
Many of the medicinal herbs brought out of Beijing this time were donated by him and Ping An, and other major medicinal herb producers also donated a lot, but due to the tight time schedule, the fundraising efforts were still insufficient.
"Young Master, Zhu Yuanzheng, a lot of the two groups of medicines have been distributed this morning. If any prescription works well tomorrow, increase the amount of that medicine. The speed of the disease's spread is frightening now, and I dare not delay for a single day."
Zhu Yuanzheng sighed again.
"Master Huang, if the medicine is distributed this morning, the villagers will have to wait until noon to boil the medicine and consume it. The first effects will be seen tomorrow afternoon. If you want the effects to be obvious, it will take at least two days. How can it be so fast?"
Mr. Huang held his forehead with one hand. He didn’t dare to think about what to do if the situation became serious.
He thought of peace.
"My Lord, will Master Ping An send someone to invite him back to the city tomorrow? He is so smart, he may come up with a better solution at any time. To be honest, I am at a loss. The situation is really serious. I just hope that I will not implicate my family in the future."
"Why is it so?" Sun Sicheng knew in his heart that what he said was correct. As a local governor, if the epidemic is not controlled in the first time, it will be your fault no matter what.
"Sir Huang, I think Ping An will return to the city tomorrow afternoon. He will go to Fangjia Village and Hujia Village in the morning. I am very worried about him. It is really risky for him to do this. But only by consulting face to face can we come up with the best prescription more effectively. Ma Huang Tang was mainly thought up by Ping An."
Lord Huang was at a loss to respond. Even if Ping'an had come up with the recipe alone, the eldest master must have analyzed it a lot. There was nothing wrong with saying that the two of them had come up with it together.
The next afternoon.
Imperial Physicians Liao and Huang had to admit that the Mahuang Decoction prescribed for the eldest son and Ping An was excellent.
The same patients, taking the same medicine at the same time, one showed slight improvement while the other had a very obvious effect.
This is only one day. If it were two or three days, would the epidemic be much better, or even be cured forever?
At this point, it is clear which of the two prescriptions is better.
Zhu Yuanzheng immediately asked someone to report the news to Lord Huang, and at the same time stepped up the preparation of Ma Huang Tang.
Ping An gave Huo Zhi acupuncture. "Brother Huo, your illness has stabilized, but the virus in your body has not been completely eliminated. After this acupuncture, you should feel much better.
I will be back in the city soon. The Ma Huang Tang should be taking effect. You, Youdong and Younan should not return to the city for the time being. I will send someone to check on your family. They should be fine in the deep house. It would be bad for you to go back."
Huo Zhi nodded.
He really can't go home or return to the city now.
"Ping An, I really can't go anywhere right now. Just send someone to check at the gatehouse. You don't have to go in and see anyone."
"Why? Are you worried that your mother will stop me and ask about your situation? Brother Huo, I will go back and help you find out about your elder brother's situation. General Hao's people are quick to act, maybe your elder brother can go home now."
Huo Zhi lowered his eyes and said, "Ping An, I find that I don't want to mention them now. Is this considered a problem?"
"Brother Huo, your grandparents have taken care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation since you were a child, and your parents have never had to worry about you. They pay too little attention to you, so it makes sense that their relationship is almost the same.
Once you think it through, there is nothing to worry about. Just manage your own family well, give money to your parents and brothers every year, and you take care of the outside affairs. That's enough.
I have a good relationship with both of my fathers, and my stepmother has always been indifferent to me. In fact, this is quite good. She is indifferent to me, but it is also strange. She treats my son very well. I miss her every time I don’t see her. Because of this, the two mothers even interacted with each other, which was almost impossible a few years ago. "
Ping An smiled.
Now, my biological father and step-father, my biological mother and step-mother are actually getting along well, and my two younger sisters and two younger brothers are getting along very well. This is a very rare thing.
In the past two years, he asked Da Wu to send people to help his stepmother's farm plant crops, and to help her harvest when the season comes, taking the herbs away and giving her money.
The stepmother doesn't have to worry about money, and she won't argue with her biological father about household expenses. It's all good for you, for me, and for everyone.
"Mu Yang is almost three years old, right? It's a pity that my daughter is older than him, otherwise we would be in-laws."
Ping An smiled and said, "It's good to have brothers as in-laws. You are in Jiangnan. What good is it for my daughter to marry so far away? I have to leave now. If I go back too late, my master will be worried. I won't come tomorrow."
He walked towards Youdong safely. Youdong and Younan were both good people. Huo Zhi felt more at ease having these people around him.
More than an hour later.
I returned to the inn safely, but received bad news.
Wang Qing, who had been busy all the time, suddenly fainted in the morning, largely due to the infection of the epidemic.
Ping'an was speechless when he heard what his master said. One by one, everyone was infected.
Before, both of them urged him to come to Jiangnan, but now that he is here, he is helping them clean up the mess.
"Master, where is Brother Wang now?"
"Where else could he be? He wasn't in the western ward. He got sick in the city. He has a small courtyard in the city, so he was naturally locked up there. Several of his guards followed him and took the medicine."
Sun Sicheng suddenly felt dizzy, Ping An held him up and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay. I just couldn't sleep these past two nights. I'm getting old and can't stand it any longer."
"Master, listen to me. We will move to my house now. There are many people here and it will be noisy. Just come here during the day and go back to your house at night."
"Isn't this bad?"
"What's wrong with that? Just go with the Dean. He doesn't look happy either."
