Chapter 461 Infamy
"It's me."
Li Ang had a faint ominous premonition in his heart. Chen Danqiu's voice was noisy, and he was obviously discussing something with the emperor, the prime minister and the others.
Chen Danqiu asked: "What's the situation in Shuozhou?"
"Not good, there are nearly two hundred deaths every day."
Li Ang told the situation in Shuozhou truthfully, "We have isolated all patients, suspected patients and close contacts as much as possible, and at the same time concentrated our efforts to eliminate rat disease.
But the spread of the disease cannot be completely eliminated.
There are too many rats, and almost every household has a rat disease. It takes time to clear it up."
Chen Danqiu asked, "How long will it take?"
"As short as one month, as long as three months. At that time, the rat disease in Shuozhou will be eliminated, and the chain of epidemic transmission between people will probably be cut off."
Li Ang rubbed his sour eyes and his tone was low.
The efficiency and harm of the plague spread are far faster and more serious than the original Suzhou water poisoning. He feels exhausted both physically and mentally.
The voice from the side of the worm was silent for a long time. Finally, Chen Danqiu said: "We need you to go to Taiyuan Prefecture. There was a plague on the station there."
".What?!"
Li Ang was stunned in the spot in an instant, with tinnitus in his ears, rumbling like thunder.
After a while, he finally came to his senses, and the tinnitus in his ears were replaced by Chen Danqiu's voice again.
"Li Ang? Are you still here?"
"I am here."
Li Ang took a deep breath, "How is the plague situation? How many people are infected now? When did it happen? Have the confirmed patients and close contacts been isolated?"
"It happened yesterday. A passenger suddenly fell to the ground and died while walking in the station."
Chen Danqiu said: "After the news about the clinic street in Taiyuan Prefecture, the station was immediately blocked and quarantined 2,000 passengers who were still in the station and on the train at that time. The inspection found that there were 60 confirmed patients from different regions and 200 suspected patients."
"The station in Taiyuan Prefecture is still running?"
Li Ang said in anger and shockedly: "I wrote to the court half a month ago to request the complete closure of the entire Hedong Railway system. Why hasn't it been closed yet?!
Taiyuan Prefecture is the center of Hedong Road and is also the transportation hub of Guannei Road, Hedong Road and Hebei Road.
Among the thousands of passengers, there are more than 60 confirmed patients and 200 suspected patients.
God knows how many patients had travelled across Yu State by railway?!
How many sources of infection are still active in Taiyuan Prefecture, with a population of millions?!”
Li Ang’s angry voice echoed in the underground laboratory.
He really couldn't imagine that he had written so many reports to the Chang'an court, assessed and observed the logs, and repeatedly complained about the pros and cons, demonstrating the horror of the plague.
But the imperial court failed to even blockade of Hedong traffic.
Chen Danqiu took a deep breath, "Risheng, please calm down first."
"How can I calm down?"
Li Ang covered his forehead and said hoarsely: "That is Taiyuan Prefecture with a population of millions.
The city has expanded in size, the population has increased, and the terrain is complex.
The difficulty of controlling the epidemic will increase exponentially!
For Shuozhou, which has a population of more than 100,000, I can still let the soldiers deliver grain, meat, and vegetables to their door to door.
In addition, many of the people in Shuozhou are farmers, and their families also stock up on grain, which can be supported for the time being.
But what about Taiyuan Prefecture? 70% or 80% of the urban residents do not farm?!
If the city is to be completely closed like Shuozhou, how can we ensure the lives and even survival of these residents?!"
Li Ang's voice became more and more angry, and he unconsciously released his mind and pushed away all the flask beakers on the table in front of him.
"Blocking traffic in a single land cannot be done in just one sentence."
Pei Jing's father, Zuo Pushe, the Secretary of the State of Yu, said in a deep voice: "The scope of involvement is too wide and there are too many aspects to affect.
How to fill in the gaps in material, manpower and financial resources generated by so many prefectures? What to fill in?
Send tens of thousands or tens of thousands of troops to block the main traffic roads? Check each carriage, every pedestrian, and every package one by one? Can you check it?
Even if the road is blocked, how can we solve the problem of material transfer?
At that time, due to the rising food prices, people who can’t buy food will starve to death at home will not be less than those who die of plague!"
"Pei Xiang, the largest grain merchant in Yu State, isn't it the imperial court's lords?"
Li Ang was not in the mood to be with Xue Jixu and said sarcastically: "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the last ones.
Yu Lu said that a family of food and wealth should not compete with the people of the world for profit; a mixed business category should not be prescribed in the officialdom."
The enlightenment book "Taigong Family Tutor" that everyone in literacy families also says that in a vendor's house, be careful not to get married; when the market is profitable, do not be neighbors.
Scholars regard business as a cheap business,
But what about it?
Which company does not have the support of the powerful and powerful business behind the powerful? Which company is not doing business for the powerful and powerful?
If you really want to stop the price of food from rising, you are really worried that the people have nothing to eat and wear. Why don’t you give up some profits?"
"Okay, it's already happened, and it doesn't make any point to blame him."
The Secretary of the Central Committee, Xue Ji, spoke out and interrupted the dispute between the two. "The most urgent task now is to curb the plague in Taiyuan Prefecture and prevent the plague from spreading from Taiyuan Prefecture to Hedong Road and even overflowing to other roads.
Risheng is the most authoritative expert in the Yu Kingdom and even the whole world. At present, only you can solve the dilemma in Hedong.
No matter what you need in Taiyuan Prefecture, we will try our best to satisfy it."
“.I don’t accept it.”
"What?"
“I don’t accept it.”
Li Ang took a deep breath and said slowly: "During this period, we have burned more than two thousand corpses.
Among them, not only the people who are infected with diseases, but also the doctors and soldiers who are unfortunately infected while resisting the plague.
More than a dozen civilian doctors who heard about the disease in Shuozhou and voluntarily rushed over to help fight the plague died.
Several students from the Imperial Medical Office who were supposed to study at the Imperial Medical Office and came to Shuozhou with the ideal of curing diseases and saving lives, also died.
They believed in me, trusted me, and followed me to Shuozhou. But I couldn't bring them back to Chang'an.
I don't even know how to tell their parents about this news.
There will be sacrifices in fighting the epidemic, I know that.
But I cannot accept that the danger that could be avoided was obviously explained from the beginning because the bureaucrats, because of the so-called "big situation" and "interest considerations", developed into disasters.
In the end, the front-line personnel still had to keep sacrificing their past grudges and continue to sacrifice.
What is this?
‘If you suffer the people, I will bear the blame for the infamy’?”
The silent period of the worm at the right foot was heard after a while, Xue Ji's helpless voice came, "Sunrise, the court also has the court's concerns, and it takes time to weigh the pros and cons."
"Xue Xiang,"
Li Ang whispered: "Since the first plague occurred, the situation facing Yu State has only been bad, and even worse.
There is no possibility of not being able to suffer losses, and there is no perfect solution.”
