Fan Zeng walked on the streets of the city with a veil on his face.
He was followed by more than a dozen people, some dressed as officials, some ordinary people, and even some monks and Taoist priests.
"There are still not enough public toilets. Today I still saw people urinating and defecating in public. I repeat, public toilets must be built, and those who urinate and defecate in public must be dealt with severely and severely!"
"How's the lime powder preparation going? Have the surrounding puddles been filled? Have the mosquito repellent been prepared?"
The local official frantically wiped the sweat from his forehead and bowed his head, saying, "Master Fan, we are working hard to build the public toilets, and we have already applied for lime. As for filling the puddles, we are really short of manpower, and mosquito repellent is also in short supply."
Fan Zeng waved his hands impatiently and said, "Master Zhang, I can negotiate the mosquito repellent issue. If you don't have enough manpower, then we can mobilize more people and mobilize the initiative of the people in the disaster area. Do I need to teach you about this?"
After saying this, Fan Zeng looked at the old monk beside him and said, "I need more manpower."
The monk looked as if he had lost his parents. The monk leading the group was Zen Master Huineng. He clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Master Fan, please allow me to report. Our people have also begun to show symptoms, and half of them have already collapsed."
Huineng's hands were shaking as he spoke. In his opinion, this so-called disaster relief was nothing more than sacrificing human lives!
Those who followed him this time were all the younger generation of Buddhism, the hope of the future.
He felt heartbroken just thinking about it if he died here.
Yue Hongguang on the side also spoke up: "Sir, we have already sent the news to the sect and fellow practitioners, but it will take some time for them to arrive."
Fan Zeng's expression eased slightly as he said, "It's good that you can come. The epidemic is as fierce as a tiger. I believe you should have prepared yourself mentally before coming. But don't worry, Master has already told me how to prevent the epidemic before you came. You should have seen the results during this period. The number of patients has indeed decreased."
Speaking of this, Fan Zeng wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Lu Chen. His master was indeed a god-like figure.
Fan Zeng thought that he was well-read in the books of sages, and he had thought that after passing the imperial examinations and gaining fame and fortune, he would serve as an official and ensure peace in the area.
But when he arrived at the four cities and started to fight the epidemic, he realized how big the gap was between theory and actual operation.
It is not an easy task to coordinate and manage so many people and make them work together.
As the chief officer in charge of the anti-epidemic work, he has a lot to take care of, and he needs to make decisions on every detail.
If he had not read the "Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases" written by his master in advance, Fan Zeng felt that he would be completely in the dark.
Not to mention anything else, just the daily counting of the number of people sick has such an unexpected effect.
When he first arrived in the Four Cities, the scene was so tragic, it was simply hell on earth.
Seeing this scene, everyone, including him, felt a chill in their hearts.
Many people have only one thought in their minds: What's the point of saving this town? These towns are already beyond saving.
The dead bodies on the ground made them see no hope at all, and many people began to back down.
However, with the introduction of various epidemic prevention measures and analysis of daily data, everyone was surprised to find that the situation was indeed improving, which gave people great confidence.
When Fan Zeng was studying with Lu Chen, Lu Chen emphasized the importance of data to him more than once.
At that time, he had not realized that data could be so useful. Now, after actual operation, he suddenly felt like he had been enlightened.
Thinking of Lu Chen and the Handbook of Infectious Disease Prevention and Control, Fan Zeng hurriedly said to Lord Zhang beside him, "Lord Zhang, although the court will make great efforts to fight the epidemic, those of us in the epidemic area cannot just sit there and wait. Send out orders that we will buy a large amount of mugwort. Everyone who can move at home should go and cut mugwort and exchange it for food."
After saying this, Fan Zeng looked at the Buddhist and Taoist people and said, "Masters, don't say I didn't warn you. This anti-epidemic campaign is a great opportunity for you to spread your teachings. The people are watching everything you do."
Monk Huineng and Yue Hongguang nodded hurriedly. They also understood this truth. If they could save the people in the four cities, their two religions would have a new temple in the future.
But the problem is that the cost of this anti-epidemic effort is too high. Just think about those disciples who are still lying in the clinic, their hearts are bleeding.
But now that things have come to this, there is no reason to back down. Yue Hongguang gritted his teeth and said, "I will write another letter to urge them right away."
Huineng also clasped his hands together and said, "As for the medicinal herbs, I still have some in stock within the Buddhist sect. I'll have someone deliver them here as quickly as possible."
Fan Zeng nodded in satisfaction and said, "Masters, you have worked hard. I will not play games with you. When this matter is over, I will report to the court and ask for credit for you. I am sure that His Majesty will be very pleased and will give you many certificates of ordination and other things."
Upon hearing this, Huineng and Yue Hongguang both looked happy. They suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable for some of their disciples to die for this matter.
As they were talking, a group of people had already walked to a thatched hut. Fan Zeng looked at the doctors busy inside and bowed, saying, "Doctor Cai, how is the situation?"
Doctor Cai, who used to live a life of luxury, now looks haggard and it is obvious that he is very tired.
However, his eyes were very bright. Seeing Fan Zeng, he stepped forward excitedly and said, "Master Fan, good news! The medicine the Imperial Master prescribed is indeed effective. The control group experiment proposed by the Imperial Master also showed very clear results. This epidemic is truly thanks to the Imperial Master's methods. The Imperial Master is truly a genius!"
For some reason, Fan Zeng felt more comfortable hearing Doctor Cai praising Lu Chen than if he had praised him directly.
His eyes lit up and he asked, "Is it really effective? How is the patient now?"
"According to our experiments, the physical condition of patients taking the corresponding drugs has improved significantly. Those who were previously unable to get out of bed can now take care of themselves! I believe that in a few days, they will be back to normal."
"Okay, okay! That's great! I'll write a letter to Master and the court explaining this matter. You've all worked so hard. Once the epidemic is over, you'll be credited with the most."
