617. September 11, five years, sunny
When the plague comes suddenly, the sick people mostly suffer from acute diarrhea, followed by vomiting, with almost no obvious abdominal pain, and no severe feeling after being anxious. It is even difficult to count when going to the toilet several times a day. It turns into a slurry sample after initially turning into a rice slurry sample.
This symptom is obviously a symptom of cholera. After Song Beiyun received the news, he immediately put down everything in his hands and personally led all the personnel of Chang'an Medical College to go out.
He first ordered people in the cholera area in Nancheng not to go out without authorization, and sent troops to guard the entrances and exits of each yard, and were not allowed to go out or enter. At the same time, the entire College of Chemicals began to refine disinfection powder with limestone and white coal, and the College of Medical Sciences brought medicines and disinfection supplies into each household and began to disinfect the wells. All food must be cooked before it can be entered. Even if the water is boiled, it must be boiled before it can be entered. All fuel is handled by the government.
"This time, cholera must be controlled well, and boiling water must be strictly implemented to the end. It doesn't matter how much it costs, and the patient's urination and drowning must be handled in a centralized manner." Song Beiyun stood in the conference room and shouted with a red face: "All the fees for medicines and food are handled by the government. What you have to do is to appease the people of Chang'an and let the boiling water be strictly implemented. Have you heard?"
Officials at all levels all promised that Song Beiyun had no time to assign more detailed tasks to them, and hurried out after the mobilization meeting.
If the cholera is not unexpected, it will be the sequelae of the septic tank explosion a few days ago. Groundwater is contaminated due to infiltration, and there are relatively few methods of diagnosis and treatment for problems. However, if it is not solved, judging from the current population density in Chang'an, it will definitely be a humanitarian disaster.
When the plague comes, holding accountable is a later story. What Song Beiyun needs to do now is to race against time. At this time, there is actually no difference from wartime, and the consequences may even be serious, and no matter how long it is, it cannot be delayed in a minute or a second.
He majored in this world with medical science and had experience in quelling the plague in Luzhou, so Song Beiyun's role is particularly important now. He is not only the commander-in-chief but also the plan maker and executor, but he even has to go to Nancheng to supervise the war himself.
The patients counted out and 433 of the 175 households were sick. Song Beiyun immediately ordered people to isolate them, first using the drugs in the pharmacopoeia for treatment, and then disinfect and burn all the instruments and items they had contacted.
On the first day, people in Chang'an were in panic. Many people had to leave Chang'an overnight, but they could not leave the city at all because when they learned that the plague had occurred, Chang'an City was completely closed.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers took to the streets to maintain order, and panic was naturally inevitable, but soon people discovered that the government had begun to act, and the food and clothing expenses were all rationed by Chang'an Prefecture.
As long as you have a taste of food, panic will not spread, but the subsequent isolation of patients alone makes people frightened. There are even rumors that those patients were directly pulled out and burned.
In panic among such people, many people were obviously sick but deliberately concealed their illness, which led to the spread of the disease here and there, and the death toll reached more than 40.
Faced with this situation, Song Beiyun had to order the printing factory to print a lot of knowledge about this kind of knowledge and spread it in the form of pictures and texts.
In order to calm the panic of the people, he even asked the families of patients to visit the isolated patients outside the isolation point.
Cholera is not a very serious infectious disease. As long as the protection is done properly, early detection, early treatment and early cutting off the source of infection can actually reduce the damage to the lowest point.
But the difficulty lies in many things that need to change people's living habits. For example, concentrated use of toilets makes many people unable to accept it. They are already accustomed to urinating in the woods, rivers and even in the fields, so that they can concentrate on going to the public toilets. This will cost them their lives?
But the Song Beiyun gave a death order. Almost overnight, hundreds of public toilets were built in Chang'an, and even men and women were divided into public toilets. If someone was found to have fallen into trouble and discharged stools, he would be fined 300 yuan and worked for five days if he caught him.
Then it was about disinfection. After disinfection, the well water tasted, and people were very scared. Song Beiyun did not have a more clever way to do this. The only way was to strictly implement boiling water, and also asked people from the School of Literature to compile many rumors that they would be eaten by monsters and monsters without boiling water or disrespect to gods and Bodhisattvas would spread wildly.
After about seven days, although the plague has not yet subsided, it has not spread out any further.
Song Beiyun didn't sleep all night again. When he walked out of the tent in Nancheng in the morning, he suddenly felt dizzy and sat on the steps next to him.
"Mr. Song, are you okay?" Several young people from the medical school immediately surrounded him and said, "Why should Lord Song go and have some rest?"
"No need." Xiao Song waved his hand and said, "I'm just hungry. No one died suddenly today, right?"
"The patients are starting to get better, but a few are weak... they still went last night."
Xiao Song sighed: "It's my fault in the end."
If it weren't for him developing biogas, there wouldn't be any blow-up. If there was no blow-up, there wouldn't be cholera.
Everything is brought to you by yourself, but what can I do? Some things must be done. Science will always encounter various difficulties in the process of moving forward.
The incident of the plague in Chang'an has also spread to Jinling. The Censorate wrote a book called Song Beiyun without saying a word.
There is nothing to say about this matter, and even Song Beiyun came in person, there was nothing to say, because this was his responsibility, and the Censors's book did not add fuel to the fire, which means that Song Beiyun was not in charge of biogas work, which led to a plague in Chang'an, killing nearly a hundred people.
Zhao Xing didn't know what to do about this for a while. The penalty was not appropriate because the punishment was not enough and it was not enough to convince the public. But if it was too heavy and was demoted or dismissed from office, then the northern stall would not be needed?
Don’t say whether Chang’an can’t operate without Song Beiyun? At this stage, let alone Chang’an, the entire north cannot move even if it leaves him.
If Song Beiyun is replaced, unless Zhao Xing goes in person, even if Yan Shu goes, the Liao Kingdom and the grassland will not sell Yan Shu's face. If he doesn't want to eat his style, he won't eat his style.
Moreover, it is a critical time to manage the grassland and the Western Xia. This point of withdrawing Song Beiyun? Zhao Xing felt that it was not appropriate to fine the salary.
"The official family, it is understandable that Song Beiyun's dereliction of duty this time is unwilling tolerate the law."
When he didn't know what to do in the court, Lao Ding stood up. After all, as the first judge of the Song Dynasty, his words can be clearly used as a reference at this time.
So he opened his mouth and the whole court looked at him, but Lao Ding still had a dead face with a blank expression and bowed: "If you don't punish, you will be illegal; if you punish lightly, you will be favored. However, if you punish severely, you will be illegal."
Okay, this guy is speechless. If he doesn't have to punish him, he doesn't have to punish him. If he doesn't have to do it, he doesn't have to do it. If he doesn't have to do it, he doesn't have to do it. So what should I do? Isn't it like not saying it?
"What should we do as Ding Qing said?" Zhao Xing frowned, and he didn't understand what the hell was doing.
Old Ding pondered for a moment and continued: "The official family should issue an urgent edict to reprimand Song Beiyun, fined him three years of salary and slaughtered him thirty, stripped him of his official position, and the official rating this year was zero. However, the official family was committed to fulfilling his duties in the land of Song Beiyun and Chang'an, and was honest in his work, and knew that he could use his skills well, so he remained in the position of supervisory preparatory to observe and wait for use. If there were any mistakes, he would make a serious responsibility and not forgive him."
Hearing these words, Zhao Xing's eyes lit up, but many officials below secretly cursed Lao Ding as an old man.
The old man said sounds extremely harsh, but in fact it does not hurt your tendons or bones.
If you don’t believe it, you will separate it and say that you are scolding Song Beiyun. If you replace someone else, this reprimand is enough to shock the person and make the person feel terrified. But who in the court doesn’t know that the official and Song Beiyun are wearing pairs of pants? This reprimand is better than sneezing.
The second and third articles are even more ridiculous, with a three-year salary fine... Please, who is Song Beiyun? Even if he is not an official, he is one of the most wealthy people in the world. Not only is he rich, he even brings the entire court to make a fortune. It is no exaggeration to say that the corruption of senior officials in the court is not the trend of Song Beiyun's contribution. Everyone is reasonable and legal, so why do you have to do that? A three-year salary fine? A joke. Once upon a time, the court's salary was only paid by Song Beiyun's New Third Division. Isn't deducting his money just a joke?
As for the beating, if the official is removed and he is beaten, everything will be easy, but the next sentence shows that he is still the chief supervisor of Chang'an and the biggest boss of Yongzhou. Who will be asked to beat his beating? The eunuch who sent the order? Or the censor of the censorate?
They dare to do it? Dare to be a big deal! I won’t say anything about the eunuch. The entire palace internal affairs system is controlled by Song Beiyun. He never let go of this one, and Zhao Xing is not relieved that anyone other than him will take over. The suspicion of the old Zhao family is not a joke. The eunuch dares to beat Song Beiyun?
The censors of the Censorate? Then stop making trouble. They can participate in Song Beiyun. Their responsibilities should be like this. They can't deal with Song Beiyun. They have different ideas and will have differences. But let them fight Song Beiyun? Even if they are obeying the imperial edict, give them the courage to dare!
If you don’t believe it, just look back at the Censor. This guy is standing there now, looking at his nose and heart, looking at his heart, "I have done my business, don’t cause trouble for me." It is obvious that he is participating in me and beating himself. The Censorate is a regulatory agency, not a law enforcement agency.
