"After listening to the arrangements that have been made, I think they are very good." Xia Tian first affirmed the emperor and others' approach.
Then he added, “Cholera is highly contagious and is mainly spread through contaminated water and food.
In addition to isolating sick patients, I suggest large-scale disinfection.
Even places where no symptoms have yet appeared should be disinfected, cleaned, and kept clean. Imported food and water should be clean, and the patient's waste should be handled separately."
Xia Tian paused and continued, "Also, people who have had contact with patients must be quarantined.
In addition to covering their faces with scarves, doctors and others who come in and out of the room are advised to change clothes and smoke with mugwort before coming into contact with other people if they go home or do anything else after contacting patients.
The best way is to isolate yourself directly and not go home to avoid infecting your family members."
Xia Tian talked about some modern methods of preventing and controlling epidemics. The conditions here are limited, so we will do as much as we can.
"And the most important point is that cholera patients lose water quickly due to vomiting and diarrhea. I recommend replenishing them with salt and sugar water. I've already written this down in the prescription."
Imperial Physician Zheng Lin carefully wrote down everything Xia Tian said, and when he saw that there was nothing else to add, he prepared to leave.
Xia Tian called him again, "Master Lin, please take this medicine and give it to the students with more serious conditions first."
At least save your life first.
This spring exam has already been ruined, I can’t lose my life again.
I just heard from Lord Lin that most of the infected candidates came from poor family situations and probably didn't have much money to live in a better place, so they were the first group to be infected.
The cases discovered in the capital were also first discovered in the poor areas in the north of the city.
Xia Tian suddenly remembered that Chen Rui also had vomiting and diarrhea the day before the exam. He wondered if he was infected with cholera?
And her Yuejin Pavilion, students account for a large proportion of the customers who go there every day, isn't that also very dangerous?
Thinking of this, she became a little anxious.
Lord Lin took the medicine bottle from Xia Tian, thanked him solemnly, and then left in a hurry.
The emperor didn't know what to say anymore. He handed a sign to Chen Nian and Xia Tian, "Take this sign. If you have any questions, you don't need to pass on the message. You can come to the palace directly to see me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Nian took the sign. This sign was only given to the people the emperor trusted the most.
It is estimated that there are no more than three ministers with this brand.
Seeing that the emperor trusted them so much, Xia Tian decided to be a good person and took out two more bottles of pills and handed them to Eunuch Xu.
"Your Majesty, these two bottles of pills are for your emergency use. I suggest that you clean and scrub the palace thoroughly, then fumigate it with mugwort to eliminate any toxins."
This is her and Shen Nian's biggest thigh, and must be protected. "Also, you can eat one every day. After all, you come into contact with many ministers every day. They are all from outside the palace. I don't know if they will be contaminated.
This medicine has no side effects. It can cure diseases and also refresh the mind. Your Majesty can use it with confidence."
In order to hug the emperor's thigh tightly, Xia Tian was willing to take any risk. After all, in this feudal era, not everyone could hug the emperor's thigh.
"Thank you, Madam Shen." The emperor expressed his sincere gratitude.
He now owes Shen Nian and Madam Shen more and more, so he might as well settle the accounts together after it’s over.
When it was time to leave, Xia Tian asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, may I go with Lord Lin and the others to treat the plague?"
If this plague cannot be controlled and really spreads throughout the city, she will not be able to sit still.
Now that she has the ability, she is willing to contribute.
If nothing else, just consider it as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
Because she found that the more people she helped, the bigger her space became. Maybe the emergence of this Lingquan space was just for the benefit of the people.
As for what kind of changes will happen in the future, she still has to continue exploring.
"Of course, this is what I have been longing for." The emperor smiled heartily. How could he refuse such a motivated subordinate?
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Tian thanked him and left the imperial study with Shen Nian.
The emperor asked Eunuch Xu to escort them out.
It was already completely dark and the palace gates were about to be locked. With Eunuch Xu accompanying them, the journey would naturally be smoother.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Xia Tian took out a small porcelain bottle and motioned Shen Nian to give it to Eunuch Xu.
"Eunuch Xu, this is for you."
Eunuch Xu's eyes widened instantly, and he took it with joy, "Thank you, Lord Shen and Madam Shen."
The bottle of medicine that Shen Nian gave him was not for him to give to the emperor, but for him personally.
They are all smart people and understand what I mean.
Eunuch Xu smiled and sent the two away, put the medicine bottle in his arms, and slowly returned to the imperial study.
Xia Tian and Shen Nian left the palace. It was getting late, so they went straight back to the Marquis' Mansion.
The next day, she left home early in the morning and went to Yuejin Pavilion to find Uncle Gu.
"Uncle Gu, has anyone in the restaurant been suffering from vomiting and diarrhea recently?"
When they met, Xia Tian asked directly.
Uncle Gu was stunned, thinking that someone had eaten the restaurant's food and had developed these symptoms, and quickly explained, "Our restaurant prepares the freshest food every day, and no one has eaten anything bad."
"No, that's not what I'm talking about." Xia Tian explained, "Recently, some students have shown symptoms of cholera. Our restaurant is popular with students, so I'm asking."
Uncle Gu's heart skipped a beat, and his words trembled. "Cholera? Madam, are you saying there's cholera in the capital now?"
Xia Tian nodded.
