Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Doctors' Meeting (Catching Bugs)
The world outside Xihe Road was in chaos.
With the support of merchants, the refugees' fighting power increased to a higher level, and the original Dachenfu soldiers could no longer suppress them.
Zhuo Zhengchu relied entirely on walking. After he finished the wheat cakes given by Ah Qing, he had no choice but to gnaw on leaves, eat grass, catch rabbits, and eat everything he could.
By the time Yin Sheng arrived at Tongchuan Road with great joy, his house was deserted.
Zhuo Zhengchu: Not my friend? Where are you?
Zhuo Zhengchu couldn't accept this fact, even though there was a thick layer of dust in the yard and no one had lived there for at least two or three years.
Zhuo Zhengchu went to ask the neighbor next door, and the neighbor told him in vivid detail how Yin Sheng's family was being chased for debts and how they were bought by two women.
He also added his own speculation, "Yin Sheng has been handsome since childhood. He must have been taken away by some wealthy woman."
Zhuo Zhengchu's world collapsed again.
He felt.
People shouldn't be unlucky twice, at least not twice.
Of course, he didn't know that the woman who bought Yin Sheng was his first wife Mo Jinglian whom he could not find.
Zhuo Zhengchu sat on the threshold of Yin Sheng's house, his head in his hands, contemplating life. What should he do now? He had no money, no connections, so how could he make a living?
He began to search for the names of his close female friends in his mind, but each one was far away; Princess Nan Zhao was not even in Dachen.
The queen he appointed after ascending the throne was from a noble family. He now looked no different from a beggar, so he would probably be driven out if he couldn't even see her.
More importantly, Zhuo Zhengchu now has a psychological trauma. He is afraid that if he rashly looks for someone, he will be disappointed.
He even began to doubt whether the prophetic dream was fake, and that it was all an illusion caused by his excessive desire for revenge.
However, the confusion was only momentary. After sitting there all night, the extremely confident Long Aotian male protagonist looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and shouted unwillingly, "My fate is in my own hands!"
Just as he finished shouting, the gate of the courtyard next door was pushed open, and an evil old woman who looked very difficult to deal with angrily shouted: "Why are you shouting so early in the morning? You're disturbing my eldest grandson's sleep. You'll be in trouble!"
After saying that, the gatekeeper closed the gate again, leaving Zhuo Zhengchu standing there awkwardly, at a loss as to what to do.
Zhuo Zhengchu had no intention of leaving this time. Not only did he have no money or food, he was also afraid that his household registration would be checked when he entered the city. So he simply climbed over the wall into Yin Sheng's house, cleaned the house, lied that he was Yin Sheng's distant relative, and moved in.
When the cold wave came, Zhuo Zhengchu realized that the time was ripe, and he rushed forward while shouting something like "kill the officials and release the grain." Relying on the powerful aura of the protagonist, he also gained a group of followers.
After Zhuo Zhengchu occupied half of Tongchuan Road, he closed the city gates and stopped advancing.
It’s strange to say, in addition to Mo Jinglian and Yin Sheng, the counselors and generals he predicted in his dream also inexplicably appeared beside him.
Zhuo Zhengchu still chose to believe that the dream was real. As for Mo Jinglian and Yin Sheng, it was purely an accident.
The counselor asked, "My lord, why don't you continue forward and take Tongchuan Road in one fell swoop?"
The general also asked, "That's right, wait until the brothers take Tongchuan Road in one fell swoop!"
Zhuo Zhengchu replied, "You can't go any further. The plague will spread. What we should do now is seal the city gates and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving at will."
The counselor was shocked. "Plague? If this is true, then stopping now is indeed the best option. But how did the lord know about this?"
Zhuo Zhengchu took a sip of hot tea and said, "To be honest, my dear, I once had a prophetic dream. The dream told me that there would be a plague. I hope my dear will believe me."
The counselor's eyes turned, "This is a great idea! Let's spread the word that you are a god from heaven! The Son of Destiny!"

While the Xihe Road was being built, Lin Si also summoned all the doctors in Xihe Road to Lingzhou, asked Zhu Shixi to organize a meeting, and provide training for these doctors.
Enzhou has now become En County.
Song Heyu never expected that the weather on Xihe Road would change so drastically in just one winter.
So when she received the notice from the current Enzhou County Magistrate Shen Tai, she was still a little overwhelmed?
She pointed at herself and asked, "I'm going to Lingzhou?"
The yamen runner under Shen Tai nodded and said, "This is the order of the county lord. All doctors in Xihe Road must go to Lingzhou. We will arrange ox carts to go there, and we will also give you a travel allowance, which is calculated by the number of days."
Although Song Heyu didn't understand what the county lady's intention was, he still packed his luggage and got on the ox cart arranged by the county government the next day.
In just a few months, Xihe Road has changed a lot. For example, this road built with coal slag and mine slag is indeed smooth and easy to walk on.
On the carriage, several doctors were discussing quietly, "I wonder what the county lady wants us to do this time?"
Some people speculated, "Could it be that the county lady is ill?"
Everyone in the car only knew that the county lady and Liang Nian had killed the prefect and some officials together and seized Xihe Road, but they had no idea what the county lady looked like or how old she was.
So some people began to get scared.
The county lord is so decisive in killing people. If they can't be cured, will she kill them to vent her anger?
Everyone arrived in Lingzhou with a nervous mood. The people in Lingzhou were basically working. Those who were not building roads were building workshops in exchange for more potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Those who did not work only had the minimum security: one potato and sweet potato a day.
The children in the technical school were in their second-year internship period. Every few steps, you could see the carpentry students talking to the people.
There were about fifty or sixty doctors from all the doctors in Xihe Road gathered together.
These fifty or sixty people were arranged into a large room. Each room was equipped with a table and stools. A young man and a young woman were responsible for leading them to their seats.
After everyone sat down, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.
After Bu Yi and Tang Xing arranged their seats, they distributed the blank booklets they had prepared to the doctors, as well as a small charcoal pencil to each of them.
"This is a notebook prepared for you. You are to write down the key points of the upcoming meeting and study them."
Song Heyu became more and more confused. What was he doing? Why did he have to write it down and study it later?
Just when everyone looked confused, Zhu Shixi walked in slowly from the door.
Song Heyu recognized Zhu Shixi almost at first sight. Six years ago, she was still a young lady. Now she has grown up, and her features and eyebrows are almost the same as they were then.
Song Heyu secretly complained, could she be the Anping County Lord's person?
Zhu Shixi blinked her big eyes and sat in the main seat. The two seats next to her were reserved for Tang Xing and Bu Yi.
Bu Yi is Zhu Shixi's second direct disciple. She has always been teaching him personally. Today's meeting was also led by Tang Xing and Bu Yi to guide and preside over it.
Tang Xing stood up and began to explain the purpose of today's meeting.
"The main reason I've asked all of you doctors to come here is because the county lady predicts that this cold wave will definitely cause the spread of plague, so I'm asking you to come and learn how to prevent and treat the plague, as well as to gain more health knowledge and medical knowledge."
Then he pointed at Zhu Shixi and said, "This Doctor Zhu is the county lord's doctor and the leader of this meeting."
When Tang Xing said the word "plague", everyone present was shocked.
Plague?!
Any doctor knows how terrible the plague is, but according to what this young man just said, can the plague be prevented?
Zhu Shixi has been training apprentices over the years and has become much more stable. He has also learned to hide his evil silver-gradient nature.
Because Lin Si was afraid that she would bring out a second or third bloodthirsty demon, and then the second generation of bloodthirsty demons would bring out a third generation, generation after generation, and the medical industry would be doomed.
Therefore, I always talk to her earnestly and often talk to her about child health psychology.
Zhu Shixi took a sip of hot tea and cleared his throat. He looked confident and said, "After a major disaster, there will always be an epidemic. Based on the information the county lord's staff have gathered from outside, this is most likely an epidemic. If anyone has read ancient books, they will know about this disease."
Bu Yi then added, "This meeting adopts the raise-your-hand mode. If you want to speak, raise your hand first."
Song Heyu looked around and raised his hand. "I've indeed read about this disease in ancient books. Symptoms include fever and vomiting. I guess the first person to contract it contaminated the water or food, which is why it spread like this."
Some studious doctors were already writing down what Song Heyu and Zhu Shixi said.
Zhu Shixi nodded. "Doctor Song is right, but there are a few more symptoms, namely abdominal pain and skin bruises. That's why we've gathered everyone together to discuss this. First, the county lord will be promoting education to the people, telling them not to drink raw water. Second, I have a disinfectant formula and a recipe for treating injuries and epidemics. Third, we're providing basic medical training for everyone."
"What do you mean by skin bruises?" The doctor who spoke was obviously not used to answering in this way, so he quickly raised his hand to add.
Zhu Shixi gestured to Buyi to answer.
Bu Yi replied, "The external manifestations of ecchymosis, such as color and distribution, can also directly reflect the severity of the disease. As for the formation of ecchymosis, it is mainly caused by infection of vascular endothelial cells."
Bu Yi's professional terms left the doctors underground confused.
I might understand blood vessels, but what are endothelial cells? And what does it mean to be infected?
Many doctors raised their hands, including Song Heyu.
Zhu Shixi: "This is exactly what we are going to learn in our meetings these days."
