Chapter 1547 New health regulations

Chu Yun was in charge of Tianjin Wei for a month before returning to the capital. The terrible plague came and went quickly. The newspapers exaggerated this matter in large quantities. Seeing that the government was dealing with it so fast, the people no longer had the panic when the plague occurred, but began to praise the merits.

"The source of this disease comes from the Ganges River in India. During local festivals, the population is concentrated in the river and does not pay attention to hygiene, so it is easy for Vibrio to breed. In the past, they spread Vibrio by walking, and Vibrio should not be too strong in nature. Humans are the only susceptible body, so it is not popular in other places. But now that our merchant ships are active in the local area, Vibrio may be taken out of the Ganges River." After Chu Yun returned to his home, he explained the root cause of cholera to Xiao Xiuer and others.

"So that's it. I just said that no one had encountered such a terrible plague before." Xiao Xiu'er said.

"There are many unknown and terrible diseases in the world, especially in places where they have never been exposed to them. They are isolated from the world. When outsiders arrive, there are few antibodies to local diseases on them, which can easily lead to major plagues again and again. In order to reduce the possibility of plague outbreaks, I think a more complete health system should be established." Chu Yun said.

"In other words, there is a need to add other content to the Health Regulations?" Xiao Xiuer from the Medical Department probably knows what Chu Yun means.

The Ministry of Medicine has issued the "Sanitation Regulations" to regulate urban health. There are not many regulations. The core is to prohibit livestock from taking to the streets and pedestrians from being convenient for the streets to keep the towns sanitary and clean.

This is not a face-saving project, but can reduce the spread of diseases and thus reduce population losses and expenditures on medical care.

It would be difficult to implement such a regulation just by implementing it.

"Every medium and large towns of our country need to rebuild the sewers to clear the urban sewers and prevent the breeding and spread of bacteria. At the same time, towns in various places require cheap firewood and coal to encourage residents to boil water."

"There are also quarantine agencies in Guangzhou Prefecture, Xiamen Bay, Ningbo Prefecture, Tianjin Health and other places to inspect merchants, sailors, travelers, and goods. If there are patients with suspected fever and diarrhea, they need to be isolated for a period of time and only allow them to go ashore after confirming that there is no problem."

Chu Yun briefly summarized the lessons learned by the plague incident.

This plague incident was quite lucky, and cholera was terrible, but the investigation team discovered the pathogen in time and found a simple way to treat cholera, which led to the epidemic being controlled. Otherwise, it may cause the death of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

The plague incident in 1910, with the medical level of that era, the outbreak of plague outside the pass caused more than 60,000 deaths. In 1918, the Spanish flu caused tens of millions of deaths.

In contrast, the plague broke out in Tianjin Wei near the capital, which was a blessing in disgrace. The investigation team could take the train from Beijing to Tianjin Wei to investigate. At the same time, the government organized a great force. If the first place to break out in the local area was Guangzhou Prefecture, Xiamen Bay or some towns in the mainland, by the time the investigation team went to investigate, cholera might have spread to more places and became more difficult to control.

"I will propose to add more control measures to the Health Regulations in the Ministry of Medicine, and then submit them to the six ministries for meetings. It will take a lot of funds to rebuild the urban sewer system and establish customs quarantine institutions," Xiao Xiuer said.

"These funds are not a problem," Chu Yun said.

Princess Sofia followed behind, not knowing what she was thinking.

After returning to the capital from Tianjin Wei, she and Xiao Xiu'er were invited to the military master's mansion for dinner, and she was a little nervous.

"Sister Ella, am I going to move to the military master's mansion?" Sophia asked Ella in a low voice.

She learned from Xiao Xiu'er that Ella was following Chu Yun when Chu Yun first started to rise up, and some things were required to be approved by her.

"You can ask the adults yourself, that is, Mr. Chu." Ella deliberately teased her.

"I... I don't have the nerve to do it. I don't know much about the rules here. Fortunately, Mr. Chu doesn't care about those rules and has never blamed me." Princess Sophia said uneasyly, with one finger around the end of her hair.

She had never considered the issue of getting married before. The princes and envoys from the kingdoms and principalities of the European continent did not tempt Sophia. However, Sophia was a little expectant at this time, and of course there was also some confusion and nervousness that followed.

"Since he doesn't blame you normally, what are you afraid of?" Ella said.

"Of course I'm not afraid. He still owes me a car, and I haven't seen the car yet." Sophia gathered up the courage when she thought of the car that Chu Yun had promised to give her before.

Da Yu'er learned in advance that Chu Yun and the others were coming back, and asked someone to prepare the meal. When she saw Chu Yun, Ella also brought Xiao Xiu'er and Sophia and the others, she looked at Ella with inquiring eyes.

Ella also communicated with Da Yu'er with her eyes, and the two of them exchanged eyes. The intelligent Da Yu'er already understood what was going on, and her tone was a bit resentful: "Okay, I've been waiting at home for a month, and the adults and sister came back with two women."

Xiao Xiu'er and Sophia blushed when she heard Da Yu'er say this, and she didn't know how to face Da Yu'er.

"This is also impossible... You have always been smart and cannot bully them." Chu Yun was quite helpless.

Originally, the backyard was quite calm, but these were so good. Before I knew it, there were more and more hostesses, and I guess I would feel uncomfortable in the future.

"Sir, I'm just joking. How could I bully the two sisters... I just want to know what happened in Tianjin Wei." Da Yu'er came over to help Chu Yun rub her shoulders. She was influenced by Chu Yun when she was very young, but she didn't think Chu Yun was doing anything bad.

"Da Yu'er, don't blame the Lord, let me explain the whole story of this matter." Xiao Xiu'er came out to defend Chu Yun.

Princess Sophia is no longer as naughty as before, but sits obediently. Instead, she is afraid that Chu Yun will repent.

"So that's how it looks. So do you want to move in? There are still a few empty rooms in the backyard, so you can move in after tidying up." Da Yu'er's eyes rolled and she said to the two of them.

"The princess and I should live outside in the house. If an adult wants to come, then... come here..." Xiao Xiu'er said uneasy out of guilt, crossing her fingers.
