Chapter 8 Li Deren tries his best again

The poem says:

The plague is rampant in Liangxiang County. Mr. Luo talks about the epidemic,

Mugwort soup is specially used to treat diseases, and the white ash of the medicinal residue blocks the spread of the disease.

Let's talk about Li Ming, who took Li Deren to see a patient. Pass——, pass——, the gong sounded from far to near, and a young apprentice ran in to report that the magistrate of Liangxiang County came to invite Li Ming.

Li Ming quickly stood up and fought with Luo Zhixian, who had just entered.

Magistrate of Luo County, "Excuse me, are you Dr. Li?"

Li Ming, "This is Li Ming." After saying this, he picked up his clothes and knelt down, "Li Ming has met his old parents."

The Luo County Magistrate grabbed him and said, "Doctor Li, please don't be polite. I have something to ask of this county."

Li Ming, "If you have something to discuss, please tell me in person. Li Ming will never give up."

Luo Zhixian, "I am the official of Liangxiang County Zhengtang. Not long after I took office here, a plague broke out in the county. I made a special trip to ask the old god to save the people from the fire and water. This county pays tribute to the old god here." He said.

, bowed deeply three times to Li Ming.

Li Ming hurriedly walked past and said, "Sir, please don't do this, or you will harm the common people. The common people just listen to the orders of the magistrate."

Magistrate of Luo County, "This is my first time encountering the plague, what should I do? I still have to listen to Dr. Li. What do you think should be done?"

Li Ming, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Luo, I will tell them to prepare, and then I will accompany you to the county."

Then, Li Ming said to his disciples, "Disciples, rescuing people is like putting out fire. I will go to the county with Mr. Luo right away, and you will come soon. Now I will arrange tasks for you. Li Deren, please pack up some quickly.

Hot and detoxifying herbs, come with me. Shopkeeper, hurry up and prepare a lot of them

Mugwort, honey pear ointment, and some heat-clearing and detoxifying pills, the more the better. Hire a carriage to deliver it to us quickly. We will put the money ourselves first. Xiaosan'er, hurry to the lime kiln, hire 20 carriages, and fill them with lime.

, and send it to the county town. The young disciples are at home, collect more mugwort, the more the better."

After all these things were arranged, Li Ming and Li Deren took the medicine box and hurried to Liangxiang County with Master Luo, the county magistrate.

In Liangxiang County, since the Spring Festival of this year, people have been getting sick one after another, with vomiting, diarrhea, and high fever. Some people have died of the disease, and a large number of patients are suffering. The county that used to be bustling with people is now full of mourners.

, every family is

Closed doors and closed doors. People who are not sick do not go out for fear of being infected. People who are sick are busy looking for doctors for patients and picking up herbs to treat illnesses. On the streets, dead bodies are lying in twos and threes, and some are dying.

The patient is really crying every day, and the earth and the earth are silent.

Li Ming followed Mr. Luo to the county government office and said to Mr. Luo, "Sir, are there any merchants selling fabrics here? Hurry up and ask someone to buy 20 pieces of fabric. In addition, buy two barrels of sesame oil. The sooner the better."

Luo Zhixian quickly sent someone to buy these two things, and then asked Li Ming, "Doctor Li know what kind of disease this is? Is there any countermeasures?"

Li Ming, "Excuse me, sir, how many people can there be in the third class of yamen in the yamen? Besides them, how many people are eating the royal food?"

Mr. Luo, "There are 150 people in the third shift of the Yamen. The other staff are all odd jobs, about 300 people, and the total number is less than 500."

Li Ming, "How many people can be gathered together now? How many people can be mobilized?"

Mr. Luo, "There are 400 people who can be gathered together now, and they can all be mobilized. The other 50 people have to guard the prisoners and the treasury."

Li Ming, "Master Luo, now the plague is mainly prevalent in the county. Please arrange 20 people, each in groups of 5, to guard the 4 city gates. Only entry is allowed, no exit is allowed. Violators will be killed. This is the first. Chapter 1

Second, please pick 20 people, divide them into groups of two, and divide them into 10 groups. Go to all the villages in Liangxiang County and ask them to hurry up.

Horse racing must be completed in one day and one night. Find out whether there is an epidemic in each village and how many people are sick? Make a record of it and hand it back before tomorrow night. Third, remove 20 more people.

There are a total of 5 roads in Liangxiang County. Four people are assigned to each road to guard the boundaries of the county. All passers-by are asked to go around them.

, if there is any disobedience, he will be killed without mercy, without asking for instructions, and will be executed on the spot. Fourth, select 20 people to close all the businesses in the county and control all the pharmacies, whether they are shopkeepers or clerks.

Whether they are doctors or doctors, they will all wait on the spot and wait for assignments. Fifth, select 20 brothers, who can be old and infirm.

The road from Niuquan Village to Liangxiang County was blocked, and my apprentices were borrowed. The other 300 people buried pots and cooked rice on the spot, eating and drinking quickly, and waited for my apprentices to arrive before assigning tasks to them. In addition,

Please ask your master to draft documents, one is a notice to calm the people, the other is a notice to close the road. You also need to draft a memorial and submit it to the court."

Master Luo followed Li Ming's instructions and sent out 5 groups with a total of 100 people and another 300 people to make rice. Master Luo called in his master to draft notices and memorials. The two notices were quickly written and copied.

I bought hundreds of them and used the county's big seal. Then I selected 10 people to post these notices in the streets, alleys, city gates, and avenues in the county. At this time, the medicine truck and the lime truck arrived.

Li Ming, "Master Luo, please now invite 100 brothers, 10 brothers, and a large car to pour all the white ash into white ash powder with water and divide the county into 10 pieces, one for each big car."

A car and 10 people spread white ash on all wells and roads, especially the homes of sick people, to conduct a comprehensive disinfection."

Master Luo ordered people to do what Li Ming said.

Li Ming added, "Please Mr. Luo, please choose 100 more brothers, find 10 pharmacies, a drugstore, a carriage, 10 people, set up a big pot, and boil all the mugwort into soup. After boiling, use the same method as before."

Divided 10

Tablets, 20 people per tablet, deliver these medicinal soups to every household. Those who are sick should drink it, and those who are not sick should also drink it. Those who are sick should drink 5 bowls a day, and those who are not sick should drink three bowls a day. In addition, we

All brothers should drink three bowls a day."

Mr. Luo continued to make arrangements, and the arrangements were soon in place.

Li Minghe said to the shopkeeper who delivered the medicine, "You take the money and go directly to Fengshan Baihuashan area and hire hundreds of people to go up the mountain to cut mugwort. The more the better, and send at least 20 cars to the county every day."

Don't dry out the 30 carts of mugwort, just pull it here. The mistress, go ahead and pull the lime, and you have to pull 10 carts into the county every day." The shopkeeper and the mistress hurried off according to Li Ming's instructions.

At this time Master Luo came back, and Li Ming said, "Master Luo, tear these cloths into two-foot-square pieces. Each of us will use one piece of cloth to cover our faces, mainly our noses and mouths. In addition,

Everyone uses a cotton swab, dips it in some sesame oil, and smears it in the nostrils. With these two measures, you can avoid

To avoid infection. Then divide the remaining people into 10 tubes. The team leader in the yamen will take my apprentices and ask them to inspect each pharmacy and each tube to guide the preparation of medicine and supervise the delivery.

The people who are responsible for delivering the medicine must deliver it to every household, and the other is to supervise them to protect themselves."

Mr. Luo made further arrangements according to Li Ming's instructions.

Li Ming said, "Li Deren, take your two junior brothers with you and patrol the whole city. If there are those who are particularly sick, give them some acupuncture to relieve their condition and use medicine together."

Li Ming worked hard for a long time and arranged everything.

At this time, a young apprentice hurriedly ran in and said, "Master, go and have a look quickly. The disease in the area I am in charge of is too serious. You can see what to do."

Li Ming said, "Li Deren, go and have a look with your junior brother. If you can handle it, handle it. If you can't handle it, report it to me immediately."

Li Deren, followed his junior brother out.

A little worried, "Doctor Li, your apprentice is only a teenager. He is too young. Can he handle such a big thing?"

It is exactly this: the epidemic of plague is the most ruthless, and Liangxiang County is full of mourners.

The county magistrate invited a living god, and the commander was determined to be Li Ming.
