Upon hearing that Yunyang City had been fully controlled, and if there were no other outbreak points, the smallpox had also been controlled by Jiang Yi and She Hongwen within the county prison, Zhou Ye, the Minister of Household Affairs, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, what he faced was not a mess, otherwise he would have had a headache.
Smallpox, what is that?
It's a life-threatening thing. Once you can't control it, everything will be empty and corpses will be everywhere.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the smallpox outbreak was controlled within the county prison. If this person really escaped from the prison and appeared anywhere in Yunyang City, the entire Yunyang City would have to be sealed off. This letter,
No one knows how many people will survive by then.
He, Zhou Ye, may even be accused of being "cruel and bloody" - once smallpox breaks out, future troubles must be dealt with. When did it become normal to close down the city and burn down the village?
Although the eldest prince is still with him, will Emperor Mingguang let the eldest prince take the blame?
In the end, he was the only one who received infamy, as the Minister of Household Affairs. Who told him that besides the eldest prince, he was the only one with the highest official position?
After discussing with Jiang Yi, the general of the town army, among the people Zhou Ye brought, several imperial doctors entered Yunyang City with medicinal herbs.
If they don't get involved, who will let them be imperial doctors?
Emperor Mingguang ordered them to follow, why didn't he force them to make a choice?
Either bite the bullet and gain a good reputation; or run away from the battlefield and be "settled" by Emperor Mingguang in the end.
Who doesn’t have a big family behind him?
No one is a fool. If you don't enter, you will die. No matter how tough you are, you still have to break through.
Jiang Yi was also polite and took them back to the main army, then handed Yunyang City's existing medical team into their hands.
Yes, that's right, under She Hongwen's suggestion, Jiang Yi had organized all the doctors in Yunyang City together. Except for a few who were released to confuse the public, all the others were stationed in the county government office to prevent and control smallpox.
Compared with She Hongwen, who was able to reason, Jiang Yi didn't talk nonsense so much, and directly threatened: "If you don't want to die, treat me. Otherwise, none of you will be able to escape, and you will all be buried with Yunyang City."
A group of old doctors were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they said "yes" repeatedly.
Can you refuse to agree? Let’s not talk about whether Jiang Yi really won’t let them go. If smallpox really escapes from the county government, how can their relatives who have lived in Yunyang City for generations be better?
That was a catastrophic disaster, and no one was paying attention?
In the past few days, they had searched through ancient books, regardless of whether there were prescriptions passed down from ancestors or not, and tried their best to study the method of destroying smallpox.
Fortunately, Jiang Yi gave them a direction - smallpox cannot be cured for the time being, so they can first study how to prevent smallpox infection and large-scale outbreaks.
So, they divided into two waves of people, one was responsible for studying how to treat smallpox; the other was responsible for studying how to prevent smallpox infection and prevent large-scale outbreaks.
The former has not yielded any results, but the latter has produced gratifying results. A set of "medical instructions to prevent smallpox infection" was thus produced.
When the imperial doctors from Beijing arrived, they did not expect that they had already reached this stage. They thought that they would die if they came in. However, they did not expect that the "prevention and control work" was done properly, and smallpox was tightly controlled within the county prison.
Internally, not externally.
The imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief: As long as the infection didn't spread, the people in the prison would die anyway. As long as the infection didn't spread, even if all the people in the prison died, people in the world wouldn't blame them if word spread...
…
"This is the 'measures to prevent smallpox infection' that you compiled? Yes, yes, with this, as long as we control smallpox to death, it will be considered a great achievement..." The imperial doctor took some clauses compiled by the doctors of Yunyang City.
, praised a lot.
Like Zhou Ye, they were rejoicing: they thought it was a mess, but they did a pretty good job!
Most of these doctors are grassroots. How dare they be praised like this, especially when they are officials. They quickly explained that although they had sorted out the provisions to prevent smallpox infection, they were not the ones who made it happen in the first place.
, but Doctor She...
"Doctor She?" The imperial doctor was confused. After they came in, it seemed that they had not seen Sir She yet.
Wait, it seems like General Jiang didn’t come alone?
Didn't it mean that there was also a young minister from Dali Temple accompanying him?
Where is the young minister of Dali Temple?
Someone replied: "Master She is in prison."
"What?!"
…
In the prison, She Hongwen wore a mask and a strange jumpsuit with a hood, which wrapped himself tightly.
At this time, the county government prison had been cleaned and everything had been disinfected with hot water and lime.
Several tents were temporarily set up in the open space outside the prison as She Hongwen's office space, and the prison was also re-divided. The cell where smallpox patients had previously appeared was closed directly after being disinfected; surveillance
The prisoners in the cell were isolated to the innermost room, and were served delicious food and drinks, waiting for the end of the isolation period; while the others, except for some old and frail ones who were kept alone, most of them were moved together.
Wait and see what happens next.
Among them, the Yao family, including the young and old, received special attention and were directly locked up together.
In other words, Uncle Yao, Sanye Yao and others can finally be locked up with the women of the Yao family.
"Third Master..." As soon as Mrs. Yao San saw Mr. Yao being helped in, she hurriedly rushed forward to greet him. Her eyes were red and she looked at the man with distress.
She was already feeling unwell, and when she encountered smallpox again, Mrs. Yao San couldn't imagine how this man could get through the hurdle before him.
"Stay away from me, don't come close to me." Yao Sanye quickly stopped her approach and said, "You are pulling An Yi away from me, my situation is too dangerous now..."
When the yamen officer came to inform him that he wanted to change cells, Mr. Yao struggled, saying that he did not want to change and wanted to be locked up alone.
It's not that he is so great, but that the prison is just that big. If there is any movement inside, everyone in the prison will know about it.
So everyone has heard about the group of elderly people with weak bodies who were put aside alone. Mr. Yao may not care about himself, but he cannot care about his only son - Yao Anyi.
If he really couldn't get out, Yao Anyi was his only bloodline. How could he let anything happen to Yao Anyi?
As soon as Mr. Yao knew that weak people were more likely to be infected with smallpox and more likely to get into accidents, he told Mr. Yao and the two children in the prison to stay away from him without saying a word.
Unfortunately, Mr. Yao's request was rejected by the government officials.
Mr. Yao, a grown man, had red eyes and was so angry that he scolded them for not being human. However, he was afraid of offending them and causing harm to his wife and children, so he had to lower his head and beg them to help him over.
Yes, that's right, Mr. Yao didn't let anyone from the Yao family help him, but asked the government servants in the prison to help him.
Because in Yao Sanye's view, smallpox appeared in the prison, and the possibility of him being infected was too high. Instead of letting him infect his family, and then infect his son, causing him to lose even the last of his blood, why not
It is better to take precautions from the beginning and not let any Yao family members get close to him.
"Third Master..." Mrs. Yao San didn't dare to get closer. She could only hold Yao Anyi's hand and watch from a distance.
Yao Anyi was very well-behaved. He snuggled close to his mother, his eyes were also red, and he looked distressedly at Mr. Yao who was helped to the haystack by the yamen servants. He could not even lie down and could only lie on his stomach.
He was a little scared. Although he was young, he could understand the conversations between adults and see why their faces changed.
The more this happened, the more frightened Yao Anyi became.
