Chapter 1666, the idea of ??establishing an epidemic prevention system

The gloom on the faces of Suzhou, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren finally disappeared, and rare smiles appeared.

Here in the isolation camp, a large number of schistosomiasis patients improved quickly after taking the medicine. This medicine is so miraculous that both Daming Medical College and Daming Royal Medical College have nothing to do against schistosomiasis.

Unexpectedly, a prescription from Qizhou, Huguang, could be effective in curing schistosomiasis.

"Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Wang Shouren also breathed a sigh of relief. Without effective drug treatment, hundreds of thousands of schistosomiasis patients would probably die at least tens of thousands of people. If the situation is serious, more than 100,000 people may die.

This is an extremely terrible thing.

It's just a schistosomiasis, it only broke out in Suzhou and Yangzhou, and it's not very contagious. You won't be infected as long as you don't come into contact with infected water.

If it were another highly contagious disease, it would be even more terrifying.

You can think about the horrific scenes of the Black Death that ravaged Europe and killed one-third of the European population. It was a hell on earth, with no smoke for thousands of miles, and every city turned into a city of death.

How terrible, how terrifying.

The ancient population has been unable to grow effectively. On the one hand, productivity was low and there was not enough food to feed a large enough population.

Another aspect is related to medical conditions. If you get sick casually, you are very likely to die. If some infectious disease breaks out, a large number of people will die. Coupled with unhealthy and unhygienic living and eating habits,

Population growth is very slow.

"What is the name of the person who contributed this recipe?"

Liu Jin thought carefully and asked after thinking about it.

"It's a doctor named Li Yanwen from Qizhou, Huguang."

Li Anyuan quickly replied.

"Doctor Bell?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was immediately confused.

"He's the kind of charlatan who goes from village to village."

Li Anyuan quickly added.

"Charlatan?"

"I didn't expect that a charlatan would solve a problem that none of us could do anything about."

"Send an order to the Chief Envoy of Huguang. The reward of 100,000 taels of silver must be handed over to him in full, and he must be highly praised."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin gave the order.

The agreed upon one hundred thousand taels was one hundred thousand taels, and it had to be handed over to Li Yanwen in full. This matter was something that could be published in a newspaper for the whole world to know, and it was also a matter that related to the prestige of the imperial court.

"Professor Li, do you need any precious medicinal materials for this recipe?"

"If necessary, I can send someone else here to purchase it."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin asked again, if the prescription is effective, it must be implemented in Suzhou and Yangzhou as soon as possible to reduce deaths and losses. As for money, the court now has a lot of money.

"No need, they are all very common medicinal materials, and the funds are enough."

"Actually, after all calculations, there is still money left. The medicinal materials used in this recipe are all common medicinal materials and are not expensive."

"I guess it's Li Yanwen who collects medicines from everywhere to treat diseases, and then slowly sums up the prescriptions he came up with."

"Although there are many charlatans who deceive people among Dr. Ling who travel from village to village, there are also some who are truly talented and have superb medical skills."

"And the prescriptions or treatments they prescribe are often very simple and effective. They only cost dozens or hundreds of pennies, sometimes even a few pennies."

Li Anyuan shook his head slightly and said.

"That's good, that's good~"

"Chinese medicine is broad and profound. On the one hand, we must constantly learn from the experience and medical skills of our ancestors. On the other hand, we must continue to forge ahead, specialize in new medical skills and prescriptions, and study various emerging diseases. Only in this way can we

Carry on the past and open up the future.”

After Liu Jin heard this, he nodded.

This reminded Liu Jin of the medical systems and systems of later generations, which blindly believed in Western medicine, and many people even thought that Chinese medicine was a lie.

Western medicine is becoming more and more popular, while traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more dwindling, to the point where few people even study traditional Chinese medicine.

Although there are many good things about traditional Chinese medicine, it has been passed down for thousands of years. It is definitely not a superstition, but has its own complete theory and related medical skills, prescriptions, etc.

The most important thing is that Chinese medicine has been very close to the people since ancient times, because the medicinal materials used in Chinese medicine prescriptions are basically obtained from local materials. Herbal medicines are collected from mountains and rivers to treat diseases, and the cost is not high, so it is not expensive to treat diseases.

No need to spend too much money.

However, as for Western medicine, people of later generations have already suffered the bitter consequences of Western medicine. The price is high, and the system is extremely poor. Once you enter the hospital, you will not do anything. First, you will be asked to undergo a whole set of various examinations, which can cost hundreds or even thousands.

The dollars are gone.

When you get to the doctor, he will take a casual look and prescribe you a lot of medicines. Don't even think about it if you don't have thousands of dollars to go to the hospital.

Medical care is like a heavy mountain that weighs heavily on the people.

So Liu Jin really didn't want this kind of thing to happen to the people of Ming Dynasty again.

The purpose of spending a lot of money to establish Daming Medical College is to cultivate medical talents, research new medical methods and drugs, etc., and at the same time systematically organize traditional Chinese medicine technology to form a system that facilitates teaching, management and development.

The purpose is to allow the people of Ming Dynasty to enjoy relatively cheap medical care and at the same time improve the health and medical standards of people in Ming Dynasty.

The medical conditions during this period were really poor.

"I understand that our Daming Medical College has always had this philosophy of running a school, which is to cultivate medical talents, research medical technology and drugs, and protect the health of Daming people."

Li Anyuan listened carefully and replied solemnly.

To be honest, doctors in this period still paid more attention to medical ethics than later generations. Medical skills must be exquisite, and more importantly, they must be virtuous, and they cannot only focus on money.

Reputation is very important, especially for those who practice medicine. If your medical ethics are not good, you will be stabbed in the back.

"You will write a detailed plan and plan for epidemic prevention and control later, and I will report it to the emperor later."

"Epidemics similar to today's will definitely happen again in the future, and we need to develop a complete set of systems."

"From how to prevent an epidemic, to how to control the epidemic when it occurs, to who is responsible for the government after the epidemic occurs, the use and allocation of epidemic prevention funds, etc."

"We must formulate a complete epidemic prevention system and then implement it throughout the world, requiring local governments to implement it seriously, so that even if an epidemic occurs in the future, we can respond with ease."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

Epidemics have been around since ancient times. Even in later generations, when science and technology have become very advanced, various epidemics still break out from time to time.

Moreover, with the development of globalization, the exchanges between various places have become closer, the flow of people, the circulation of goods, various diseases have emerged in endlessly, and they have spread rapidly around the world.

Faced with such a situation, countries around the world have established complete response mechanisms for prevention, control and treatment.

The challenges that Ming Dynasty must face now are not only from the possible rise of powerful countries and civilizations from all over the world, but also from various invisible diseases.

It is important to improve medical technology.

But it is also very important to establish a complete epidemic prevention mechanism. Having a good mechanism can effectively control the epidemic, prevent its spread, and protect people's safety.

Nowadays, Daming's medical technology has achieved rapid development under the leadership of Daming Medical College and Daming Royal Medical College.

However, in terms of institutional construction, there is no perfect epidemic prevention mechanism.

Relatively speaking, the government does not have such awareness, and there are no corresponding methods and regulations. When something happens, they are often at a loss, and they even conceal and lie about the epidemic for their own benefit.

Like this time in Suzhou, the prefect of Suzhou already knew that there were a large number of patients in Suzhou, but he didn't care about it at all and didn't ask anything about it. As a result, it slowly accumulated and formed an epidemic, with hundreds of thousands of people infected.

A person is infected with schistosomiasis.

"It is indeed time to develop a complete response mechanism. This time there is a major outbreak of schistosomiasis in Jiangsu and Yangzhou. My feeling is that we currently lack the experience and methods to deal with it."

"Plague has existed since ancient times, and it will definitely happen again in the future. Nowadays, the population in cities is getting larger and larger, and people are getting denser and denser. If there is no perfect mechanism, it will definitely not work. Once it appears, it will be a disaster.

Something big is going to happen."

After Wang Shouren listened, he thought about it and nodded solemnly.

He is the Chief Envoy of Southern Zhili. He didn't even know that such a big event happened in Suzhou and Yangzhou. It was Liu Jin who informed him. After he came here, everything was arranged by Liu Jin. He felt that he was really

I feel a little at a loss and don't know how to deal with it.

"Yes, I will summarize it in detail later and write down a response method. As for what the government should do, it is up to you, Mr. Liu, to decide."

After hearing this, Li Anyuan solemnly nodded in agreement.

He is the most authoritative person in the Ming Dynasty regarding epidemic prevention. In terms of technology and epidemic prevention, he is undoubtedly the most authoritative. It is definitely more scientific if he writes relevant epidemic prevention system manuals and systems.

As for the government affairs, he couldn't think about it, and he still had to let Liu Jin do it.

Things like the division of responsibilities, the allocation and use of funds, the amount of manpower and material resources to use, the level of epidemic prevention, and related notifications and reporting systems are all things that are designed by the government. He can't make the decision, and he doesn't know what to do.

How to operate it will ultimately be decided by Liu Jin based on the existing system of the Ming Dynasty.
