Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has been a high incidence of plague.The reasons are, firstly, that after the clothes went south, the humid and warm climate in the south contributed to the epidemic.According to statistics, in the early Song Dynasty alone, Zhejiang experienced three major epidemics.The second is the unprecedented population expansion and the highly developed commodity economy. Take Zhongmu County as an example, the permanent population has increased several times compared to before.

But this has also increased the pressure on urban epidemic prevention, especially in small counties. Once the epidemic occurs, the impact will be almost devastating.

Ye An was so anxious that he wanted to run home immediately, but he learned that in order to ensure that the epidemic would not spread, the imperial court had closed a section of the official road from Jingzhao Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Regardless of impoliteness, he immediately applied to enter the palace to meet the saint, and when he saw the official family, he directly explained his intentions.

"Don't mess around!" Renzong, who has always been good-tempered, turned his head back and lowered his face. Seeing the stubborn face of the young man below, he sighed and rubbed his brows: "I know you are pure and filial, but you don't think about it. You are not a doctor. What's the use of going."

"Even if I don't do anything, it's still useful to go." Ye An's face was serious, he was not simply hotheaded.

You know, although this is not a major epidemic, it also involves three or four prefectures.Zhongmu County is just a small county, and Hutou Village is a small village under the county. If there is any problem, the epidemic prevention work must come first in the big cities.Although Ye An is not a high-ranking official in the imperial court, he can still be called Jane in the heart of the emperor. Only when he returns can Hutou Village be valued.

Grandma is over sixty years old and has been in poor health for the past few years, so he can't take this risk.

What's more, Ye An caught up with the flu in his previous life and happened to be a volunteer for two weeks.Although I only distributed leaflets at the community train station, I have learned a lot of knowledge, and I am not completely ignorant.

What he said was sincere, and Renzong was obviously moved, but he still hesitated.After a while, Zhang Mao walked in and said a few words softly.

Renzong was slightly stunned, and after sending Zhang Maoze out, he walked around the hall a few times.In the end, he sighed and said, "Forget it, I can't control you either. I'll give you a token later, you can take it."

Although Ye An was a little puzzled, he still saluted gratefully.

After leaving the palace, Ye An did not prepare things in a panic, but asked someone to find a few people who had received letters from Jingzhao Mansion recently, and inquired carefully for a while.

From their mouths, it is known that most of the infected people in this epidemic will have symptoms such as roseola, relatively slow pulse, abdominal pain and fever, so the cause of the disease should be typhoid fever.

Knowing this, Ye An's heart skipped a beat.Typhoid fever, a vocabulary far away from modern people.If it is the 21st century, it is likely to be just a flu, which can be cured by simply taking two pills, but in ancient times it was a serious disease that killed people. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it even caused the death of about 2000 million people.Fortunately, this typhoid fever was only prevalent among humans and did not spread to animals.

After thinking about it, Ye An spent a lot of money to set up a medical team, including three doctors, five or six apprentices, and strong body guards.Then I went to buy two carts of medicinal rice noodles.After asking for leave from the Imperial College, the group set off from the south of the city.

Unlike Renzong, when Wang Anshi learned that he was going to the epidemic area, instead of stopping him, he praised him lavishly, and even wanted to enter the palace to face the saint and serve the motherland together.In the end, it was Ye An who stopped him dumbfounded, he was not so great, this time it was entirely out of selfishness.Besides, I'm a commoner, so I can rely on my own selfishness in how I act.But Wang Jijiu, as the fourth-rank official of the imperial court, would be gossiped if he didn't manage well.

Not long after leaving the city gate, I saw Pan Yuanqing and Le Dan standing there on horseback. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

"Teacher...what's wrong with you?" Ye An was a little confused, no wonder he went to the next door to say goodbye and didn't meet anyone. He thought the other party was out on business, and his heart was empty.

"I greeted the emperor." Pan Yuanqing said concisely.

Ye An suddenly came to a sudden, he said, why did Renzong suddenly change his mind, looking at the person in front of him, his expression was complicated: "You...you don't have to be like this."

"Let's go," Pan Yuanqing shook his head without further explanation.My own thoughts are not humane, and I lived ignorantly for the first 30 years. In the following life, I only hope that the teenager can be safe and smooth.

"Hey," Ye An knew that the matter had come to an end, and he couldn't let people go back. He could only swear in his heart that he would definitely take good care of the teacher.Then he looked at Le Dan again, why did he follow him?Didn't Yuanbao take care of his home?

"That idiot Yuan Bao knew you had to go home by yourself, and I was so annoyed by crying till midnight." Le Dan had a sullen face. Strictly speaking, the Shalu tribe is also considered a pharmacist of the whole tribe, dealing with an epidemic Specifying is enough.

Ye An nodded, without further words, and led the team to move on.

Zhongmou County is not far from Fengfu itself, and it took two days without stopping.Ye An didn't assign a task on the way, because he didn't know what was going on in Hutou Village, so he decided to wait until later.

As everyone moved forward, the epidemic area was gradually exposed.Because it was too close to the capital, most of the county towns and villages near here were simply closed, and Ye An and the others didn't see any tragic scenes.But in the past, there was no one on the bustling official road, and it always made people feel uncomfortable.

When they arrived in Zhongmou County, Ye An revealed his identity without saying a word and asked to see Ji County Magistrate.The guards at the gate rushed to report, and after a while, Ji Yue, the county magistrate, took the yamen servants out to greet him.

When Ji Yue saw Ye An and the others, he was stunned for a moment: "What is that on your face, Mr. Lang?"

"This thing is called a mask. It was developed by a famous doctor in Beijing. Wearing it can effectively prevent epidemics." Ye An raised the tiger skin as a banner. Anyway, no one will confront the "famous doctor" at this time. It's better to say that promote.Although it is impossible to isolate viruses without meltblown cloth in this era, it is still useful to isolate droplets.

Ji Yue looked solemn, and after asking about the production method of the mask, he immediately ordered the county to produce it on a large scale.Afterwards, he forced a smile, "I knew Mr. Ye Xiaolang was worried about his family." But he didn't expect to return with the official's handwriting, and it seemed that he guessed right, he was indeed not an ordinary person.

"My grandma..." Ye An felt uneasy. Judging from the distribution of typhoid fever this time, the elderly are the most likely to be caught.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hu. Currently, only one household in Hutou Village is infected. The Ye family has few people around. I have already sent people to distribute the medicine, and there is no serious problem."

At this time, Ye An was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and gratefully offered a big gift to Ji Yue: "Please take care of me, the boy brought some food and medicinal materials from Beijing, hoping to do my part for the county."

Ji Yue's brows were beaming with joy, the medicinal materials were good, but due to the semi-lockdown of the city, the price of food in the county skyrocketed, and many people couldn't get enough to eat.He has already subsidized a little out of his own pocket, and the food delivery this time can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, it can be seen that the other party is eager to return. Ji Yue thoughtfully made him want to go home, and we will talk about it later.

Ye An agreed, and thoughtfully left the medical team in the county for Ji Yue to send, and only took the teacher and Le Dan to Hutou Village.

The village is still the same, because every household is farming and can basically achieve self-sufficiency, but there are fewer opportunities to go out, so it is not as gloomy as in the county.

The Ye family's house seems to be bigger than the last time I saw it, and I heard that grandma has also dug a well at home.When the porter saw Ye An, he immediately went in to report.After a while, Mei Xiang and a group of servants went out to greet her.

"Master! Why are you back!" At this time, Mei Xiang was already a big girl. Although Yuan Bao was full of naivety, his younger sister was clever and lovable.Maybe it's because of the official family all the year round, which adds a sense of stability.

"Don't worry, come back and have a look, where's grandma?" Ye An asked.

"In the living room, because of the season change, the old problem happened again, so I didn't let her out because I was worried about the backache and leg pain."

"Good job." Ye An nodded, and went into the back room with the people around him.

In the hall, Grandma Ye was standing at the door. When she saw Ye An, she was overjoyed at first, then quickly put on a straight face, and said angrily: "Nonsense! The epidemic is currently underway, why are you coming back! Don't even tell me! Do you still have eyes?" Me! You are the only seedling of the Ye family..."

"You are also my only grandmother!" Ye An's words completely softened the old lady's heart.Pulling the grandson, just about to speak, suddenly saw two outsiders, one big and one small behind him, put away his emotions, and asked: "These two are..."

"His name is Le Dan, and he is a friend I met in Xixia. This Pan Yuanqing, I..."

"You are a doctor of the Imperial College!" Ye Po looked excited, and then quickly scolded her grandson: "How can you call the teacher's name directly! Hurry up and help him in!"

Pan Yuanqing: "..."
