Chapter 819 Young General vs. Rich Lady 122
The officials of Shu Kingdom presented a valuable gift, and Lu Yongxin accepted it. He was not the kind of person who regarded money as dirt. He still had a wife and children to support.
In order to raise food, he had invested most of his family's savings, and his wife and children had suffered as a result. Naturally, he was happy that someone was filial to him.
As for attacking Shu Kingdom, Huo Xiao has no plans to do so at the moment, and he is happy to do a favor.
Lu Yongxin hosted a banquet to entertain the officials from Shu State, and was very polite in his words.
"You have come from afar, so I don't have much to offer you. Just some simple food and drink. Please make do with it."
The Shu officials quickly stood up to toast. The wine in the cup was clear and transparent, but it had a strong aroma. One could tell it was good wine at once.
There were seven or eight dishes on each person's table, including chicken, duck, fish and mutton. The portions were not large, but very exquisite. There were even fruits of various colors. They had never seen such beautiful fruits. There was a severe drought in the world, and the Shu Kingdom was not having a good time. The officials like them ate worse than the soldiers in Guangling City.
They all saw just now that the soldiers had vegetables, meat and fresh fruits.
"Guangling City is indeed prosperous, and General Lu has a good governance. We are ashamed of ourselves."
Lu Yongxin waved his hand and said, "I am just a rough man who only knows how to fight. Thanks to General Huo's understanding of justice and sending food, cloth and seeds, the city has become what it is today. Don't worry, as long as you don't have any bad intentions, General Huo will not touch you."
"To tell you the truth, these good things are all given by the gods. There is also a temple of the goddess in the city. You might as well worship there. Maybe the gods will bless you."
The Shu officials walked around the city. Of course, it was impossible to let them walk around freely, as they were all watched by people and they only went to a few fixed places.
They marveled at the prosperity of Guangling City, seeing the textile machines and sewing machines in the factories and the strange machines running around in the fields, each of which they had never seen before.
The Shu official stayed for two days and was about to return home when he suddenly developed a high fever.
The oldest one was lying in bed and couldn't get up. He kept saying he was cold and hot, and he was already confused due to fever.
The younger ones also suffered from headaches, back pains, and body aches. They had no strength, and small blisters appeared on their bodies, spreading from the mouth and face to the torso and limbs. It was very scary.
From the officials to the servants who followed them, everyone fell ill.
In the past two days, a team of Huo family soldiers who followed the Shu officials also fell ill.
Next came the female workers in the factory and the people living near the Goddess Temple, who fell ill in large numbers. Some of them, including the elderly and children, could not bear the illness and were on the verge of death.
Lu Yongxin was also infected, but he felt okay and was able to get up. The generals who attended the banquet that day also fell ill. Lu Yongxin knew the seriousness of the situation, so he did not dare to run around and asked everyone to stay indoors.
When the first case of illness occurred, Huo Xiao informed the gods.
Medical conditions were poor in ancient society. When an infectious disease killed several people in one city, the plague would naturally be eliminated when all the people died.
Ji Yunhuan knew the seriousness of the matter, so she went to Wangxing City that night. The medical industry there was relatively developed. She used her connections to find an expert in infectious diseases, and she knocked on the expert's door while it was still dawn.
The expert was shocked when he saw the videos and pictures on the tablet. "This is smallpox! The World Health Organization has announced that smallpox has been eradicated. How come there are so many cases of smallpox? This is an emergency public health incident and must be handled immediately. I will report it to my superiors right away!"
Ji Yunhuan quickly grabbed the expert and said, "Don't worry, this is not in China. A friend of mine asked me to help. You are an expert in this area. Can you tell me how to treat it? Where can I buy medicine? It doesn't matter whether it's in China or abroad. As long as I can buy it, I will go there right away."
The expert was also a serious and responsible person, and he took Ji Yunhuan to the study.
"Although it didn't happen in our country, it's good enough that I can help. The smallpox virus has been eradicated in our country, and there is no vaccine in our country. I recommend you a friend I met when I was studying abroad. You can go to him to buy the vaccine. The current vaccine is very safe, and vaccination is better than passive infection."
"For treatment, we can only prescribe the right medicine for the right condition, not a general one. First of all, we need to ensure that the patient is well-nourished. If the patient has a high fever, we can use medicine to reduce the temperature, or use physical cooling. If the patient is in severe pain, we can use painkillers. If the patient has a bacterial infection, we can use antibiotics to treat the disease..."
"The most important thing is isolation and disinfection! I don't need to emphasize this. Masks, disinfectants, and protective clothing are easy to buy. The patient's belongings must be strictly disinfected or directly incinerated. The bodies must also be incinerated and buried deeply..."
The expert was also a serious and responsible person. He explained a lot to Ji Yunhuan and gave her a lot of relevant information.
It was not until noon that Ji Yunhuan came out of the expert's house. She bowed to the expert and said, "Thank you, Professor Zhang. You have helped me a lot. I am in a hurry. I will come to thank you another day."
Professor Zhang waved his hand and said, "Doctors are kindhearted. I didn't do anything. Go buy something quickly. I won't keep you for dinner."
Ji Yunhuan ate some bread and went straight to a large pharmaceutical company.
This was also recommended to her by Professor Zhao, otherwise she would not be able to gather so many medical supplies in a short time.
Ji Yunhuan rented a warehouse at random. It was already dusk when the goods were delivered, so she immediately sent them over.
Huo Xiao's face appeared in the bronze mirror, his expression was very serious, "I have isolated all the sick people and placed them near the Goddess Temple. I provide them with free water and food. With the protection of the Goddess, they are not particularly panicked."
"Lu Yongxin and others were quarantined in the Lu Mansion, and the Shu officials were also quarantined. Fortunately, they didn't go to many places, and they were well prepared and cleared when they went there, otherwise there would be more people infected!"
Ji Yunhuan instructed: "Spray disinfectant throughout the city, especially the places where the patients have been. Disinfect them all and spray them several times. Don't be stingy with things. This stuff is not expensive. I have spent so much money. I will make sure these two cities are in good condition!"
"Everyone who comes in and out must wear protective clothing and masks. Even if there is no direct contact, people nearby must also wear masks, wash hands frequently, pay attention to hygiene, and dispose of excrement properly. I am not a professional, but I have sent all the medicines that can be used, and the relevant information has been prepared. Let the military doctors take care of it."
Huo Xiao saw the bruises under Ji Yunhuan's eyes and said softly, "These are good enough. I will do a good job of isolating them. I can't guarantee that all the sick people will survive, but at least I can't let the number of infected people increase."
"You should also take care of yourself and don't be too tired."
Ji Yunhuan reached out and touched the bronze mirror. Their palms touched together. Perhaps it was her illusion, but she actually felt a little bit of Huo Xiao's body temperature.
"I'm fine. I'll go to the airport to have a meal and catch up on some sleep on the plane. I'm going to buy vaccines abroad. The battlefield is dangerous. I can't help you, but I can't let you get infected. You must protect yourself."
