Chapter 75, The Epidemic Begins (6/10)

In the blink of an eye, it’s already the early summer of the eighth year of God’s blessing.

Yue Wangshu was inspecting his medicinal garden and looking at the lush ginseng, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

It has been three years since time traveled. A handful of oranges in one hand can now fill up a large basin. Yue Wangshu disinfected his hands with alcohol and began to make pills.

Well, there is no way. In this era, pills can only be rolled by hand. Yue Wangshu is considered a skilled worker at this. He rolls each pill into large balls of uniform size, and then wraps them in wax to extend the shelf life.

The pill she is taking is Sishen Pill, which is a good medicine for warming the kidneys, dispersing cold, astringent intestines and stopping diarrhea. Well, to put it bluntly, it is a medicine for treating diarrhea. This medicine is needed all year round. It is probably because of the lack of hygiene in this era that causes diarrhea.

It happens all the time.

Then there are injuries from bruises, soreness in the back and legs, especially during the busy farming season, and countless people seek this kind of medicine.

Then there are some gynecological medicines, such as Gynecological Yangrong Pills, Guishao Tiaomeng Pills, Nuangong Yongzi Pills... The number of requests for medicines in this area has only increased in recent months. Mainly because of the identity of Yue Wangshu, a doctor

Some subtle fallacies arose. Naturally, her identity could not be ascertained by the tenants in the surrounding villages and towns. The emperor's village only announced that she was from the palace and a direct disciple of the imperial physician.

Therefore, Yue Wangshu's identity was misrepresented as an internal prisoner, and the people who went to distribute Rendan pills were either palace maids or internal prisoners, and none of them were men. Therefore, many women who had been ill for a long time and had no medical treatment mustered up the courage to seek medicine.

Yue Wangshu thought it was a good thing.

In this era, etiquette was strict. If the vast majority of women contracted such diseases, they would not seek medical treatment at all. A minor illness would turn into a serious illness, and a serious illness would drag on until death.

Although she couldn't make a personal diagnosis and might have something wrong, it was still better than not taking any medicine at all. Moreover, she also asked the palace attendants to tell the women that if they felt any discomfort, they should report it in time and she would change the medicine based on their feedback.

medicine.

Fortunately, most medicines are effective.

This made Yue Wangshu very happy, and the movement of rolling the balls became numb.

The eunuch Xiao Xingzi and the palace maid Jin Gui and Ginkgo came back to life.

"Master, the Rendan pills have been distributed. Many people, especially women and children, are very grateful to you. Before I left, some people pulled my sleeves and kowtowed several times towards the Rose Ridge Imperial Manor.

"Xiao Xingzi looked serious.

Yue Wangshu had put the wax-sealed Sishen Pills into the bottle, with a smile on his lips, "Is everything okay in the village?"

The palace maid Jin Guihu whispered: "For some reason, there are so many people with diarrhea this year, and the Sishen Pills that the slaves brought are not enough to distribute..."

Yue Wangshu looked puzzled, "It stands to reason that this is not the time when this disease is most common."

Then he said, "That's okay, I'll just make more."

She couldn't help but sigh, "Is diarrhea a serious matter? It's especially important to pay attention to cleanliness. Can you publicize it well and tell them to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet, and not to drink raw water or cold food?"

Xiao Xingzi said quickly: "Of course, I'm so talkative! It's easy to wash your hands, but drinking hot water and eating hot food..."

Yue Wangshu frowned, but soon understood the reason. How could a poor family afford the additional cost of new firewood? Even if he could cut firewood for wages, he would have to waste most of his labor force. If you have such leisure, you might as well work more

Some work, some work, as for food, the weather is warm, so if you are not a well-off person, where can you drink hot water and eat hot food every day?

She suddenly remembered a saying, there is only one disease in the world, and that is the disease of poverty.

"Let's reduce the rent by another 10% for the tenants." In fact, the rent of the tenants in Huangzhuang is relatively low, and the villages and towns around Rose Palace are actually relatively well-off. But in Yue Wangshu's view, it is still too much.

Trapped and impoverished.

Xiao Xingzi hurriedly said: "Master, Bodhisattva has a kind heart!"

The next day, Yue Wangshu was about to order his servants to send the urgently prepared Sishen Pills to the villages and towns for emergency use, when Xiao Xingzi suddenly came to report: "Master, Jin Gui is ill and has constant diarrhea."

Yue Wangshu was surprised. He was infected? It's not like that, right? The maidservants in the palace wouldn't drink cold water, eat cold food, let alone not wash their hands after going to the toilet...

Suddenly, Yue Wangshu suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness, and hurriedly asked: "Besides diarrhea, what other symptoms are there?"

After that, without waiting for Xiao Xingzi's reply, he simply stood up and said, "Take me to Jingui's room and have a look!"

Xiao Xingzi became anxious and knelt down directly in front of Yue Wangshu, "Master, you must not do this! Jin Gui has diarrhea and the house is so foul. How can you go? Besides, this disease is probably contagious. If you have

If this happens, my slave will die!"

As he said that, he kept kowtowing!

Yue Wangshu's head suddenly felt heavy, so he ordered Xiao Ju beside him: "Go and sew me a mask, so you don't have to worry about infection."

"Mask?" Xiao Ju was confused.

Yue Wangshu didn't say much, just laid out paper and ink, and drew a sketch for her, "Here, this is it. Once you put it on, you can isolate the disease."

Although this statement is suspected of being exaggerated, it is indeed very effective in preventing the spread of epidemics.

After Xiaoju read it, combined with the word "口" in the mask, she immediately guessed what it was used for, and asked: "I don't know what kind of fabric to use? Can gauze be used?"

Yue Wang Shuman waved his hand: "It's too thin, just use fine cotton cloth."

Although the material used in this mask cannot be more exquisite, it is still better than nothing.

Yue Wangshu added: "Add a few more maids with quick hands and feet to make some extra supplies."

She was worried that it was some serious infectious disease, so the more masks she had, the better.

"yes!"

Such a simple task can be done by any palace maid, even with Yue Wangshu's needlework skills.

Yue Wangshu then told Xiao Xingzi, "Go and get some alcohol. Mix four bottles of alcohol with one bottle of water - the water needs to be distilled... Forget it, you can just drink it cold and plain. After mixing it, go to Jinguiwu and sprinkle it carefully.

Once again, all the things she touched were treated in the same way."

Disinfect first, then Yue Wangshu puts on a mask before going.

In the face of infectious diseases, even though Yue Wangshu has the aura of life, she is still very cautious.

After all, the ultimate move can only be used once every four months, and the right to use it has already been handed over to the emperor, so she does not dare to use it easily. Therefore, it is safer to take anti-epidemic measures.

After this operation, Yue Wangshu put on the fine cotton mask sewn by Xiao Ju himself and came to the back room where the palace ladies lived.

At this moment, the back room has been cleaned urgently, and alcohol has been sprinkled. It smells like alcohol, mixed with an unspeakable smell, not just excrement, but also vomit.

Jin Gui was lying on a small couch, already feeling hazy and unconscious. Yue Wangshu was shocked, this was really not as simple as diarrhea!

She hurriedly stepped forward and opened Jin Gui's eyelids, opened her mouth to observe, and carefully observed her face. She couldn't help but thought that it was a symptom of dehydration, so she ordered Xiao Xingzi behind her who was also wearing a mask: "

Later, ask someone to feed her more light salt water."

Then he took a pulse. Within a moment, Yue Wangshu looked solemn and immediately ordered: "All the palace people who have close contact with Jin Gui will be isolated across the courtyard! In addition, masks are being made as quickly as possible, and everyone in the villa must wear them.

!Also, all houses must be disinfected!”

Xiao Xingzi was startled and said in confusion: "Disinfect, disinfect?"

"Just spray alcohol." Yue Wangshu said seriously.

"Master, what on earth is Jin Gui's disease?" Xiao Xingzi also felt that something was wrong.

Yue Wangshu sighed and said: "Plague."

As soon as the word "plague" came out, Xiao Xingzi's legs instantly became weak and he could hardly stand.

Yue Wangshu said quickly: "Don't be afraid, the villa has enough medicine, and as long as you wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, and disinfect frequently, you'll be fine!"

These words were mostly comforting. After all, Xiao Xingzi was also someone who had been in contact with patients. Although he had no symptoms of the plague for the time being, he was still very frightened.

Yue Wangshu said quickly: "Hurry up and call Li Yue back from the rose forest."

Yue Wangshu looked at Xiao Xingzi and was afraid that he would not be able to take on the big responsibility, so he thought of Li Yue. For now, forget about picking rose petals and come back to take charge of the epidemic prevention work!

"Yes! My slave, go now!" Xiao Xingzi screamed, rolling and crawling.
