Chapter 106 The dawn of success in Yanzhou's anti-epidemic efforts has emerged As
the sky brightened, the sanitation work in the sealed epidemic area was basically completed.
This was due to the efforts of the hundreds of soldiers sent in, and also the active help of the countless people in the epidemic area under the leadership of Lei Jie and others.
After the unified supply of food and water, the officials outside led the soldiers and servants, and the conscripted civilians were busy.
The people inside also gradually settled down.
Two meals a day, two buns per person, a white flour cake and a little green vegetables and tofu, can fill the stomach, and no longer worry about food.
Dozens of large iron pots were set up, boiling water continuously to supply drinking water to people in the epidemic areas.
The boiled soups were also brought in bucket by bucket, and those with mild or severe infections were asked to take it three times a day.
Masks were distributed to everyone, and the people were strictly ordered to wear them. ...
The vaccination of healthy and uninfected people against cowpox was difficult for the people to accept.
Seeing that the people of Yanzhou were hiding like tigers and refusing to come forward, the angry Ghost Hand Poison Doctor glared at these fools with triangular eyes!
Qin Wang Zhao Defang smiled indifferently, walked to the vaccination table and sat down, unbuttoned his collar to expose his shoulders.
"Come! I will be the first person to be vaccinated against cowpox."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor stopped talking and shouted to the dozen medical officers beside him with a needle, "Watch out! Only pierce the skin and don't make it bleed!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor carefully cut a cross on the skin of Qin Wang Zhao Defang's arm and rubbed the cotton swab with cowpox liquid on the wound.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor thought to himself, this magical vaccination method taught by my master didn't specify the maximum dosage?
This is my nephew, so I'll give him more! Anyway, he is willing to test the medicine on himself this time, and he won't lock me up in Kunlongtan again.
Siyu reminded him, "Ghost Hand, don't keep rubbing. If you use too much, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin might not be able to bear it!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was so scared that he quickly pulled back the cotton swab, but he said in a sly and unreasonable way, "I was afraid that these idiots couldn't see clearly, so I demonstrated it a few more times on my nephew."
Doctor Liu and Doctor Fang led a dozen medical officers, and they almost laughed when they heard it.
But no one dared to say a word, because this ugly old man was the uncle of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and he was also a famous Ghost Hand Poison Doctor in the world!
After His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin stood up, Cai Kun sat down second, unbuttoned his collar and exposed his shoulders. He felt guilty in his heart, but he spoke toughly.
: "I am the second person to be vaccinated with cowpox after His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor helped him make a cross on his skin and smeared it with a cotton swab.
: "Okay! Next one."
Cai Kun quickly pulled up his collar as if he had been pardoned.
He thought that even if cowpox is a poison, the amount of poison I have been poisoned with is several times less than that of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. I shouldn't be poisoned to death, right?
Other officials also stepped forward and took the lead in getting vaccinated with this thing whose effect they didn't know.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor had enough fun and stepped aside to give instructions. Siyu and the imperial physician led the medical officers to vaccinate the people behind. His
Royal Highness the Prince of Qin took the lead in getting vaccinated with cowpox, and those high-ranking officials who were usually afraid of death were also vaccinated. This should really be a good thing to prevent and treat smallpox plague.
The onlookers all jumped to join the long queue.
Those who were vaccinated immediately ran home to inform their families and neighbors to rush over to get this life-saving magic medicine!
Seeing that the vaccination here was successful, Ghost Hand Poison Doctor and Siyu took a few medical officers to help people get vaccinated in the blocked epidemic area. The
blocked severely affected areas were in good order, and the role played by Lei Jie and others was equivalent to the forced suppression of several times the number of soldiers and runners.
At the end of the day, more than 300 people with severe infections died, more than twice as many as yesterday.
Cai Kun and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they admired His Royal Highness the King of Qin very much, and were full of hope for the success of this anti-epidemic campaign.
The people in Yanzhou gradually calmed down, and nearly half of the shops in the city were open for business.
On the third day, the death rate of the infected dropped to more than 100 people.
Along with this encouraging good news, there were two other bad news.
There were few herbs left to treat the infected.
However, the number of infected people outside the hard-hit areas in the city was increasing, and even some officials, yamen runners and soldiers on the front line of the fight against the epidemic were infected with the plague.
The people sent by Qin Wang Zhao Defang to the nearby prefectures to buy medicinal herbs brought back very few medicinal herbs, and the most important medicinal herb, "Trichosanthes", was not bought at all.
Cai Kun and others knew that this was because the smallpox plague was raging in Yanzhou, and the surrounding prefectures were hoarding medicinal materials, waiting for the plague to spread to the local area, and keeping them for self-rescue.
Trichosanthes root, also known as Trichosanthes root, is a root of the Cucurbitaceae family. No one would plant more if there was no smallpox plague.
After pondering for a moment, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor suggested: "Use Cimicifuga and Pueraria root instead!"
The Cimicifuga and Pueraria root in Yanzhou City had long been used up, and King Qin Zhao Defang ordered to immediately go to the surrounding prefectures to purchase and transfer them.
People who bought medicinal materials were sent out quickly, but no one knew how much medicinal materials could be bought back?
In the evening, the people who were sent out to buy medicinal materials had not returned yet, but ten carriages carrying medicinal materials came outside the city.
Yun Yi hurried over and happily reported to the King of Qin, "Your Highness, it was the princess who sent someone to deliver the urgently needed medicinal herbs."
The medicinal herbs sent by the princess? It's really timely rain! Qin Wang Zhao Defang looked towards the direction of the capital, his handsome eyes were full of tenderness and pride.
With the urgently needed medicinal herbs, people's hearts are at ease!
Zhizhou Cai Kun thought to himself!
Didn't colleagues in the capital say that the princess married by His Royal Highness Qin Wang was a fool with brain disease? How could they send people to deliver these life-saving medicinal herbs
in advance? Maybe His Royal Highness Qin Wang ordered it before he left?
With these urgently needed medicinal herbs, Yanzhou officials saw hope of successfully fighting the epidemic. One by one, they were busy day and night like chicken blood.
Siyu was so busy that blisters appeared on the corners of her mouth, and the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was also so busy that he had no time to rest.
The imperial doctors and medical officers saw that the hope of successfully fighting the epidemic was growing, and they were so excited that they wanted to use all their strength.
If Yanzhou succeeds in fighting the epidemic this time, not only will their lives be safe, but it will also be a great achievement! After returning to Beijing, they will wait to be rewarded by the emperor! ...
Siyu brought the little girl named Feng'er, whom she met on the first day, to the table and handed her a meat-filled cake.
"Feng'er, eat it quickly!"
Feng'er's smiling face was as bright as a small flower blooming: "Thank you, sister Siyu!"
This fairy-like sister Siyu not only saved her mother, but also loved and cared for her like her own sister.
This kind of meat cake that only medical officers can eat, she can only eat twice during the Chinese New Year. But these days, she has been living a Chinese New Year life every day.
Feng'er's mother was still too weak to walk. Lying on the kang at home, she looked at her little daughter's smiling face and the back of the jade-like girl, with gratitude in her eyes.
The people brought by the wise and brave Eight Wise Kings who loved the people like their own children were all good people who treated these lowly people as human beings.
Lei Jie led a team to ask every household if there were any difficulties that needed help.
Their team had grown to thousands of people, all of whom were ordinary people who joined voluntarily.
There were also some young women in the team, and their families were no longer as reluctant to let them show up as they used to be.
The people in these teams were all very capable and managed the order in the blocked disaster-stricken areas in an orderly manner.
There were fewer and fewer wailing and crying in the blocked hard-hit areas, and more and more smiles on people's faces.
Many people even hoped that after the epidemic was over, life would be like this every day.
The death rate in the hard-hit areas had dropped to more than ten people per day, and the dawn of success in Yanzhou's anti-epidemic efforts had appeared.
Three days later, when there were only a few left of ten carts of medicinal materials, another ten carts of urgently needed medicinal materials were sent by the princess.
