Section 488 Epidemic (1)
Zhang Yue lived in Nanling for three days, mainly to arrange the renovation of the ancestral tombs and the establishment of the ancestral sacrifices.
Then, a banquet was held to entertain guests from all directions.
This is also the basic operation of the Han people after they succeeded.
By the way, Zhang Yue also went to the manor and arranged for future ceramic firing work.
Then, Zhang Yue took Zhao Rouna with him, said goodbye to his sister-in-law, and embarked on a journey back to Beijing.
By the time he returned to Chang'an City, it was already August of autumn (28th), and the willows in Chang'an City had all lost their leaves.
Chang'an City, which was once prosperous and lively, has entered a depressed season.
The pedestrians on the market have become sparse.
This surprised Zhang Yue.
You know, Chang'an City is a super city with a population of nearly 300,000!
On this earth, it is already an unquestionable super city.
Although the air is getting colder today, it’s not yet winter!
Why did it become like this on the market?
When he returned to Jianzhang Palace, he found that the situation might be worse than he thought!
The road at the entrance of the palace was already covered with lime.
The palace guards were even more veiled.
"What's going on?" Zhang Yue couldn't help but step forward and found Sima, the palace guard who was guarding the gate, and asked.
"Report to the Shizhong, there was a typhoid epidemic in Chang'an..." Sima replied very cautiously: "Jingzhao Yin reported to the emperor, and the emperor ordered the entire palace to remove the epidemic..."
"Where did the typhoid fever epidemic happen?" Zhang Yue immediately asked with a serious expression when he heard this.
Typhoid fever!
The biggest enemy of human health on BC!
In the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, it covers epidemic infectious diseases caused by influenza virus colds, typhoid bacteria, and various diseases caused by stroke and other factors.
If the epidemic is needed and the Han palace is facing a great enemy, the only ones who have strong infectious and highly pathogenic influenza or infectious diseases caused by typhoid bacteria are needed.
Once these two diseases break out, they will inevitably cause devastating destruction!
Because, in the current Han Dynasty, or the entire earth, there is no effective treatment drug!
Infectious diseases caused by influenza or typhoid bacteria are now terminally ill!
"Report to the Duke of Shizhong, they are several neighbors south of the monk Guanli of Gaojie..." The Sima officer also replied tremblingly: "It is said that hundreds of cases have been discovered... Jingzhao Yin has blocked all neighbors in the local area and nearby areas, and the Duke of the King of Jinwu Guard has also ordered that the people be prohibited from going out at will..."
For people of this era, typhoid fever, especially the contagious typhoid fever, is almost no different from the demon.
Once it appears, it means dead.
And many people died!
Especially in super cities like Chang'an City.
Highly pathogenic infectious diseases can rage the whole city in a short period of time.
Its mortality rate is terrible!
Not to mention the other person, the flu virus that broke out during World War I killed more people than those who died in the war!
As for now?
I am afraid……
Zhang Yue had no time to think about it, so he immediately entered the palace.
He first settled Zhao Rouni into the small building, asked the servants to take care of it, and then went to Yutang immediately.
When he arrived at Yutang, he obviously discovered that Yutang's alert level had improved.
Below the wall door, there was already a three-step stand, the steps were covered with lime and realgar, and even a lot of burning mugwort was placed.
This is also the experience summarized by the ancestors of the Xia Dynasty in their long-term struggle against influenza and infectious diseases.
but……
Zhang Yue knew very well that only high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen had the conditions to do so.
Ordinary ordinary people who are promoted to the fight are now almost exposed to the virus.
Epidemic prevention work can be done more than just a simple isolation area.
Not to mention, in this era, almost no one knows the difference between influenza and typhoid virus.
The former can be transmitted through air, saliva, other things on patients, even fleas and mice.
The latter is crucial to the purification of water sources!
What’s more serious is that Zhang Yue still doesn’t know whether the epidemic broke out only in Chang'an City or was brought in by people from outside the city?
So, time is urgent!
He directly raised his seal and ribbon, walked through the strictly protected wall door, and walked up the steps of the Yutang. Just as Shangguan Jie came out of the Yutang.
Zhang Yue immediately stepped forward and bowed and asked, "Brother Shangguan, where is Your Majesty now?"
"Shizhong Zhang is back..." Shangguan Jie said in surprise and said, "Your Majesty is discussing matters with Jingzhao Yin and Prime Minister Shi Meifu..."
"But are discussing the epidemic?" Zhang Yue asked.
"It's..." Shangguan Jie sighed and said, "Now, all the ministers are helpless. Your Majesty is furious. Even the Shangshu Ling is scolded..."
He looked at Zhang Yue and said, "It's better to avoid this matter for the time being..."
In Shangguan Jie's view, this disaster could no longer be stopped.
Human resources simply cannot reverse the development of things.
The only thing everyone can do is to protect themselves.
This is also the consensus among the ministers of the court and the opposition. Except for Jingzhao Yin, who was directly responsible for the security of Chang'an, and the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office, who were directly responsible for the security of Chang'an, everyone else was avoided.
But this time, the emperor didn't know what medicine he took wrong.
He actually asked all the ministers to come up with ways to control or even eliminate the disaster!
This is simply...
It’s hard for others to force themselves!
Zhang Yue heard this, but shook his head and said, "The country has something to do, and we have been deeply grateful to the country. How can we ignore it?"
"Besides, this matter is related to the safety of the people and the people, how can we avoid it?"
He directly took Shangguan Jie's hand, regardless of his opposition or protest, and said with a smile: "Brother Shangguan, how about you and I go to meet the emperor together, how about you and Ying be responsible for this?"
Shangguan Jie was about to cry.
He struggled desperately and tried to resist.
but……
However, his strength, like a three-year-old child, could be ignored in front of Zhang Yue.
He pulled Shangguan Jie directly and headed above the jade hall.
Shangguan Jie had no choice.
There is no way, can he still dare to reject the "good intention" of this colleague in front of everyone?
This will be known to the emperor, let alone to fight for the position of Taifu.
I'm afraid that even this servant will finish his life!
He had no choice but to smile bitterly and whisper to Zhang Yue: "Shizhong Zhang...why are you doing this?
In his opinion, Zhang Yue wanted to pull him to jump into the pit!
Is it because I am more honest and easy to bully?
After thinking about it carefully, Shangguan Jie had to admit that he might indeed be an honest person in front of this colleague!
Zhang Yue chuckled and said, "Brother Shangguan, don't worry, Brother Yu will not harm your elder brother..."
Epidemic prevention work is the easiest to achieve results.
Especially in the current situation.
Chapter completed!
