Lin Qian and her party arrived at the Governor's Mansion, but did not see Tang Nu and Tang Shiming. The servants said that they took people out of the city on horseback at dawn in the morning.

Dou Mu ordered his servants to start placing the luggage. He came from a wealthy family and was an in-law of the Cui family.

He was gone during his term of office. Seeing that something was wrong, his family had already packed up their things and returned to Lin'an.

Danxin asked quietly: "Sixteenth Mother, the father-in-law said that the road to Lin'an has been closed, can the governor's wife still go back?"

Lin Qian was a little relieved. She used Danxin as her right arm to teach and train him, and he finally began to have the awareness to think independently.

"Money can make the world go round, roadblocks only block the common people, but powerful people have their own way to the sky."

Dou Mu asked the surviving officers in the city about the past. The epidemic started with the sudden death of guests at the Laifu Inn in the city. People died for seven consecutive days. The reputation of the hotel was so bad that no one dared to stay there.

The store owner had just been arrested and died suddenly in jail that night. His family lain his body for seven days and held a funeral.

Soon, prisoners in the prison also died one after another, and other people in the city also continued to die. Black and purple corpses were everywhere in the city, turning into ghosts and ghosts.

Seeing that something was wrong, the wealthy people in the city packed up their money and took refuge in Zhuangzi in the countryside.

When Tang Ron came back at noon, hot rice was already placed on the table.

Lin Qian has been following Dou Mu for the past half day, watching her sitting in the room, giving out instructions one after another, and all matters being carried out in an orderly manner.

Tang Shiming mentioned the epidemic situation in the surrounding areas and said harshly: "It's like water flowing out of the ground, like fire starting a prairie fire. Some people are watching the fire from the other side and want to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune."

Many families were killed violently and their entire families were exterminated directly. From the official to the private sector, no one expected how serious this terrible plague would be.

Lin Qian thought, let alone now, there will still be only two Class A infectious diseases in a thousand years: cholera and plague.

The pneumonia epidemic in 08 was only a Class B infectious disease. Under the production conditions in ancient times, the plague virus was equivalent to ghosts coming directly to arrest people.

Tang Lang and Tang Shiming went out to borrow grain from large households, but they only borrowed a dozen carts of grain in total.

It's not that there is no food outside the city, but the noble family with the most food wants to share the accounts with Tang Lang.

Of course it was Tang Lang three and the other party was seven.

Tang Shiming finished the porridge in his hand and cursed: "That family is really shameless. My father wants to settle the people and find ways to eliminate the epidemic. Are you sending beggars away?"

After hearing this, Lin Qian felt that this was an ideological gap that spanned the ages.

The common people have no food to eat, but there are many powerful nobles who can take advantage of the opportunity to sell food at high prices. Common people who have money use money to buy it, and those who have no money sell their bodies and land...

This is how "land annexation" came about, with the iron-clad nobles and the flowing stream of governors.

What Tang Shiming was angry about was not that there was no sympathy for the suffering of the people, but that he felt that the share given by the other party was too small. After all, the Tang family was also a member of the powerful.

Dou Mu said with a worried look on his face: "The government didn't send any relief food?"

Tang Lang sighed: "Eunuch Xia said that the emperor made it clear that the Jiangyou granary can be used to help the people. It will take several days for the medicinal materials and food to arrive."

Tang Shiming shook his head: "My father and I went to the granaries, but they were all empty. Jiangyou's harvest this year is not good."

Even if more than half of the people in the city were killed or injured, the dozen or so trucks of food required for disaster relief would not be enough to last for three days.

Dou Mu asked, "She Liang is not willing?"

Tang Ron nodded: "Each family is sweeping the snow in front of them. Three years ago, there was a flood in Jiangyou. It took two months for the government's relief food to arrive. It was old food. They were afraid that the food would never come back."

"Father, if you don't let me take care of you..."

"Shi Nu, be careful what you say!" Dou Mu shouted, interrupting what Tang Jiyuan was about to say.

Lin Qian couldn't help but think about what he meant by what he didn't finish. He led people directly into the village to rob?

Zhuangzi in the countryside is not an ordinary rural hut. It also has another name - Wubao.

Wubao is a kind of folk defensive building. The nobles and powerful people live in groups. In order to protect themselves, each family usually spends a lot of money to build Wubao walls.

Wubao is often surrounded by deep ditches and high walls, with adjacent houses inside. Towers and tall buildings are built at the four corners of the southeast, northwest, and center. A large Wubao is equivalent to a village and is completely self-sufficient.

If Tang Jiyuan leads people to attack Wubao, he will offend all the powerful nobles in Yuzhang City.

But just now Dou's mother asked Tang Jiyuan to be careful.

Is it caution? Instead of no?

The lunch meeting ended quickly, and Lin Qian was assigned a task by Dou's mother to write Yuzhang City's anti-epidemic strategy.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. She took Mr. Xu to the city. She originally planned to walk, but as soon as she left, she returned and took a carriage.

"Ye Xianglang" doesn't work, and the streets are full of "traps".

Lin Qian wrote the first article in the car: Everyone must wear a mask.

The mask Lin Qian asked Danxin to make was also called "Wu's Mask" in later generations.

A large-scale plague occurred in the three northeastern provinces in the late Qing Dynasty. Dr. Wu Liande, who was in charge of epidemic prevention and control at the time, improved the old masks and eventually invented a mask composed of two layers of gauze.

Double-layer gauze masks are cheap and quick to make, but they can largely avoid droplet transmission.

Article 2: Block the source of infection on the corpse.

Deep burial will pollute water sources, and animals will dig them out and eat them. We will continue to use the old method of collecting them and burning them.

Article 3: According to different conditions, they are divided into different areas for treatment.

This plague, bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, and septicaemic plague are mixed together, and they need to be treated separately with different medications.

Among these three types of plague, pneumonic plague has a rapid onset and extremely high mortality rate.

I went back and told Dou's mother these three suggestions, and she handed the matter over to her directly.

Lin Qian didn't refuse. She was the one who had experience in treating people.

Who is making porridge? Lu Wen smelled the fragrance of rice and opened his eyes. The house was empty and he was dreaming again.

I finished my last bowl of cold porridge yesterday. The grain shops in the city have been closed for a long time. Now I can’t buy grain even if I have money.

"Wen Xiucai, come and have some porridge!"

Lu Wen saw his childhood friend and neighbor Li Daniu holding a bowl of steaming gruel in his hands!

His stomach began to growl, and Lu Wen couldn't help but stare at the bowl of porridge. When he spoke, his voice was a little hollow: "Daniu, where did the porridge come from?"

Li Daniu said with a smile: "There are six large pots cooking porridge at the door of the Governor's Mansion. The new master said that if you transport the dead bodies in the city to the outside of the city, you will get a piece of printing paper. If you collect two pieces, you can get a bowl of porridge. .”

"Or two bundles of firewood, two barrels of filth... or a bowl of porridge."

Lu Wen said hurriedly: "Hurry up and give me half."

"I have already drank a bowl, and I brought this bowl back for you to drink. I took the basket and pole at home and moved four corpses back and forth in two trips. The adult who counted them also praised me for my sharp eyesight and ability to do things."

"Hey, I'll go there later."

Lu Wen drank half the bowl of porridge and said calmly: "Let's go together, let's go together."
