My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

"Don't be lazy, be careful not to drop it." Mei Xiang directed the girls, and gently brought the steamed cakes into the house. The Ye family has not had guests for a long time, and the servants are somewhat unfamiliar.

"Sister Mei, who is that high-ranking official inside? He looks so handsome." A servant girl said shyly while holding her face.

"Yeah, yeah, I heard he's a gentleman from the Imperial College? Looks like he's very knowledgeable!" The other also chimed in. Ye Po is kind-hearted and prefers bright and lovable children. The maidservants of the Ye family are very lively.

Mei Xiang straightened her face and said seriously: "That's the young master's teacher! It's something you can talk about behind your back. Hurry up and get to work!" The girls dispersed happily.

Inside the room, Granny Ye looked at Pan Yuanqing with a smile, "Dr., have you ever had dinner? Seeing that you have been busy all the way, you must be exhausted. Ann, don't tell me to go down and prepare dinner."

Ye An was a little dumbfounded, Ye Po, like other ordinary people in this era, had an inexplicable admiration for scholars, and after learning the identity of the teacher, she even put her grandson aside.

On the other hand, Pan Yuanqing, who looked like he was not in the world, was dragged by the old man to ask questions, but he was not at all impatient.On the contrary, the tone was very respectful, "Grandma Ye, I have resigned from the Imperial College now, and I am a friend of Ye An, just treat me as a junior."

"Then how can I do it?" Granny Ye was reluctant at first, but after being persuaded by Ye An and Pan Yuanqing in turn, she finally nodded in agreement.

Ye An breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, otherwise it would be weird to treat the teacher like that all the time.

Then he asked again: "I heard that Ji County Magistrate said that there is a family in the village who got the disease. Which family is it? Is it close to our place?"

Ye Po sighed softly: "It's not close, but it's very far away. It was the couple Liu Er and Sun Fang who got sick, and only their family in the whole village often went to the county. It's pitiful to say the least. I heard that they plan to earn more money." Some money, to find an enlightenment teacher for my daughter, but I did not expect to contract this disease."

"Then where are they now? Are they quarantined?" Ye An asked again.

"Isolation?" Granny Ye tasted these two words carefully, and felt that it was very vivid: "Almost, the old Liu's family also has two children. Worried about getting sick, they found a dilapidated house on the edge of the village and let them live temporarily. down."

Ye An thought about it carefully, but still felt uneasy. Hutou Village is not very big, so it must not be too far away from the villagers.What's more, typhoid fever is inherently contagious, even if it is feces or something, it is also contagious.If this is the case, it still won't work, and fundamental measures must be taken.

Ye An, who had made up his mind, felt that he couldn't wait any longer, the sooner the better, so he simply took a bite of the meal, and after discussing with his grandmother, he took Ledan Pan Yuanqing to find Ji Yue.

After they left, Mei Xiang worriedly said to Ye Po: "Why don't you persuade the old lady, what if the young master gets sick?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Po, who has always been gentle and weak at this time, is extremely firm: "I can't persuade. The officials trust An'er and make an exception to let him rush here from the capital. If you don't share your worries with him, how can you make it through. What's more, now we are busy with the epidemic. He is not the only one who is busy, and those people are also grandchildren of other families. An'er has been safe since he was a child, and I trust him."

Mei Xiang nodded solemnly: "Yes! The young master must be lucky!"

……

In the county seat, Ji Yue led the organized medical team to count the supplies and plan to distribute rice noodles at the gate of the county government office.Seeing Ye An, he quickly greeted him with a smile.

"What are you doing?" Ye An frowned slightly.Even after learning the truth, he was speechless.

"..." He organized his words, and said helplessly: "Master Ji, now that the epidemic is underway, gathering people together will speed up the spread."

Ji Yue explained: "Of course the official knows this. The sick people in the county are concentrated in the major medical centers, and all the people who come to receive food are in good health."

Ye An shook his head, even if he looked healthy, he might be a carrier of the virus.In this era without medical masks and quarantine measures, it is too unsafe.

Patiently explained the seriousness of the gaffe to Ji Yue, and then suggested: "I think it's better to organize a group of people to deliver food from household to household. Zhongmu County is so big that it probably won't take much time. .”

Ji Yue weighed it up and nodded in agreement.

Ye An continued: "My lord just said that the patients are all concentrated in the hospital?"

"That's right, there are four medical clinics in Zhongmou County, and they are full of them. If there are any more sick people, they can only be sent to Yizhuang." Ji Yue's mouth was full of bitterness.

I'm afraid that the patient will not recover if this continues, the doctor will fall down first, but where can we draw a place for the patient to live in?

"I see that there is a village not far from the county seat, and it seems that there are not many people living there." At this moment, Pan Yuanqing suddenly said.

Ye An's eyes lit up, yes!Zao Village is very close to the county seat, so many families choose to settle in the county, leaving only a few old people guarding a large area of ​​land in the village.Now it is only necessary to move them out, leave the place for the patients, and then give medicine and meals regularly, and it will probably be much better.

"This..." Ji Yue hesitated. Although he also felt that this method was reliable, if it didn't work, let the people with bad intentions know that suing him for encroaching on the house might lead to serious problems.

After all, Ye An also played with the children of the aristocratic family in the Imperial College for a long time, and he is no longer the foolish and sweet person he used to be.You can tell what Ji Yue is worried about just by looking at him, so he smiled lightly, showing confidence, "Don't worry, Mr. Ji, since the emperor sent me to bring the holy edict, you must know what it means. If something really happens, Naturally, I will take the initiative to stand up, and I will not implicate you, my lord."

Ji Yue nodded embarrassingly: "Where is it, Mr. Xiaolang is sharing the worries of the officials, and I will definitely cooperate with my best."

Afterwards, Ye An asked again: "I heard that there is not enough supplies in the county. Has your lord ever thought about asking the local gentry and wealthy businessmen for help?"

Mentioning this Ji Yue got angry, slammed down the chair, and said angrily: "Why not, but those old foxes earn a lot of money on weekdays, and when it comes to critical moments, they say that they don't have any extra medicinal materials and food at home! Wait for the epidemic Go over and see how I deal with them!"

"No food? That's okay." Ye An said with a smile: "It's not necessary to eat. For example, if you open a cloth shop, donate some coarse cotton to make protective clothing and masks; for example, if you open a restaurant, provide A few chefs and venues, cook big pot meals for the patients every day, as well as wood, and borrow a few more carriages... In the end, there is really nothing, and two people from the family can be volunteers."

Ji Yue and the others were stunned by Ye An's theory of "extracting the last trace of residual value", and seemed to see a tail wagging behind each other in a daze.

Shivering violently, Ji Yue didn't dare to think any more, ordered to go on and follow Ye An's method.

In the beginning, there were many difficulties. First of all, the wealthy households were shocked when they heard the donation request.Some chose to admit that they were unlucky, pinching their noses and donating money and materials one after another.Some were very dissatisfied, gritted their teeth and resisted, and even fought with the county government officials.At this time, it was Pan Yuanqing's turn to make a move. Not to mention Zhongmou County, his martial arts is also a top existence in the whole Song Dynasty.

Of course, Ye An even thought about the importance of "slapping a sweet date", and secretly contacted the Deng family, which has thrived by relying on various new dishes over the years.After being connected by him, he promised them that as long as the epidemic is cured, he will lead Jingcheng Capital to take the lead in cooperating with Zhongmou County.And it will go to the imperial court to try to reward everyone.

Only then did the merchants nod their heads, and they were a little more enthusiastic than before.

The rest is the work of the patients, and I don’t know where it came from. The patients mistakenly thought that the county was going to throw them outside the city to fend for themselves. Some were desperate and even wanted to commit suicide. Of course, they were rescued return.Many families took the lead in surrounding the county government office, intending to seek an explanation.

Fortunately, Ji Yue is still a good official on weekdays and has a certain prestige among the people.What completely reassured the masses was batch after batch of friendly and professional volunteers wearing protective clothing.These people have been trained by Ye An for two or three days, and they already have a certain understanding of the epidemic, even if they have fear in their hearts, they can basically control it.

The furniture, tableware and chopsticks in the entire Zao Village have been thoroughly disinfected, and the environment is much better than the crowded and dark medical hall.Although I can't see my family because of the strict management, but because of the comfortable living, my mood is much clearer.When the mood is good, the illness is easy to recover, and the typhoid fever itself is not too serious. After only five or six days of living in, a group of symptoms have been alleviated.

Of course, the decoction developed by Le Dan and Pan Yuanqing also played a big role.Although it is not the medicine that can cure the disease, the advantage is that the medicinal materials are easy to obtain, and all patients in the county can take it.

Ye An led the county people around to beat gongs and drums to popularize science safety and health knowledge, wash hands frequently, boil and disinfect, and do not drink raw water.In the end, many professionals were even invited to dredge the silt-filled drains to maintain a clean and dry environment.

Fortunately, it is winter now. Ancient times are different from modern times. In the 21st century, winter may be more likely to get sick.But in the Song Dynasty when the land was still muddy, a heavy rain in summer could breed countless bacteria.

After this set of operations, the number of people infected in the county is significantly less.After waiting for a month, as the last patient in Zaocun recovered, no matter whether it was a doctor, a volunteer, or ordinary people, they all cheered.

Ji Yue was moved to tears, "You guys, go and buy two firecrackers to set off." Then he bowed deeply to Ye An: "Xiao Langjun, I thank you for the people of Zhongmou County."

Ye An shook his head: "It is a blessing for all people to have a parent officer like Mr. Ji. Although it is good, the protection must continue."

Ji Yue nodded, now he is convinced.

In the evening, after summing up the experience, Ye An wrote a letter of "Ten Rules for Epidemic Prevention" to the officials.

When the news that the epidemic in Zhongmou County had recovered reached Beijing, the whole court was shocked.
