    As a young town where Binjiang Hall is located, the scene in Fujiadian surprised everyone. It was even more backward than any other town that everyone had ever seen.

    The surrounding houses are all very low, but three feet of ground was dug into the house to form a semi-underground dwelling.  The walls are made of rough adobe, and the reed thatch on the roof has not been trimmed in any way.  It seems that it is only designed to accommodate people, without any emphasis on aesthetics.

    The cramped and narrow street is a big garbage dump. All kinds of rotten vegetable leaves, pot water, and human and animal excrement are dumped by the residents on both sides of the road.  Luckily it's winter and all the trash is frozen.  If it were summer, sewage would flow everywhere, mosquitoes and flies would fly around, and the smell would be overwhelming.

    Even so, everyone still carefully looked for a place to stay among the newly thrown garbage.  Wu Liande accidentally stepped on a group of people and almost fell over. He couldn't help but said bitterly: "This is a complete slum."

    Zhao Jinghui suppressed his nausea and asked: "Sir, you said our Jingshi Town is also ten years old and Fujiadian is ten years old. How come there is such a disparity in environment?"

    Cheng Ziyin curled his lips: "How can this be compared with our Jingshi Town? The Jingshi Town garbage dump is 10,000 times cleaner than this one!"

    Sun Yuanqi casually explained while looking at the road: "The reason for such a disparity is because the gentry class has not yet appeared in Fujiadian."

    "Why do you say that?" Wu Liande was a little confused.

    "Fujiadian was originally a piece of wild grassland by the river. It became the town it is now because of the construction of railways and the ease of fishing. Most of the residents there are laborers and fishermen. They just arrived here not long ago and haven't made up their mind yet.  Whether it is a long-term settlement or a temporary settlement, and limited by their own economic and cultural conditions, they can only build simple houses to live in." Sun Yuanqi said confidently, "The emergence of the gentry class shows that everyone has lived here for a long time, and there are wealthy,  Educated middle- and upper-class people in society. Faced with such a harsh environment, as local elites, they have two choices: first, move away from here and live in a place suitable for their status; second, stick to this place and preside over the transformation of the surrounding environment. The former  It promotes the formation and prosperity of cities, and the latter promotes the balanced development of urban and rural areas.

    "The Chinese people's concept has always been to 'relocate to the homeland', 'it is difficult to leave the homeland', and 'the fallen leaves return to their roots', so there are still many people left behind. When Fujiadian develops for another ten or twenty years, gentry will appear, and they will build the  If you live in your own house, use your influence to further change the behavioral norms of other residents, so that the environment can be improved."

    Cheng Ziyin didn¡¯t believe Sun Yuanqi¡¯s fallacy: ¡°Sir, our Jingshi Town did not have gentry first and then the environment got better!¡±

    Sun Yuanqi laughed: "We have a town behind the existing school, so the teachers in the school are not gentry? Sir, I am just a moderate gentry, hahaha. Besides, Jingshi Town originally had such rough thatched houses,  Have you forgotten? If you don¡¯t believe me, ask Zhao Jinghui. We just took ten years to complete a road that others took thirty years to walk, euphemistically calling it ¡®rapid urbanization¡¯.¡±

    While talking, everyone turned onto the main road in the city. It was obvious that the road was wider, with drainage ditches dug on both sides, and the houses along the road were neater.  What surprised Sun Yuanqi was that even though the epidemic had reached the outbreak stage, people were still coming and going on the streets.

    When passers-by saw a team of people wearing white clothes, white hats and white masks suddenly appear, they quickly made way for them and stood on both sides whispering in low voices.  As the team advanced, a melon seed vendor who was watching on the side of the road suddenly fell to the ground, blood gurgling from his mouth and nose, his hands and feet twitched several times, and it seemed that he was no longer alive.  The half basket of melon seeds in his hand was scattered all over the floor.  When the people around saw it, they first took a few steps back to show that they had nothing to do with it. Then they saw the melon seeds on the ground, and immediately took a few steps forward and began to snatch the melon seeds scattered on the ground, hustle and bustle.

    Sun Yuanqi could no longer be angry, but felt a sense of sadness.  He said to Cheng Ziyin beside him: "Fire the gun to disperse the onlookers."

    Cheng Ziyin ordered: "The third and fourth teams, disperse the onlookers!" After that, he took out the bullet, pressed it into the chamber of the gun, and fired a shot into the air.

    Hearing the sound of gunshots, the onlookers were stunned. Then when they saw dozens of people rushing over with bayonets in hand, they immediately panicked and ran away without caring about the things in their hands. Soon the main road was empty.

    At this time, several policemen with batons jumped out from the shops on both sides. While adjusting their clothes, they shouted loudly: "Who shot just now? Who?" When he saw more than 20 people with steel guns aiming at him,  Suddenly, it was like a radio that had been cut off and could no longer emit any sound. Those who did not come out retreated into the store at a faster speed, while those who came out wisely fell to their knees, holding their heads and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me!  Your Majesty, spare your life!¡±

    Sun Yuanqi said: "LetHow do we treat it?  How effective is the treatment?  Wu Liande asked.

    Dr. Sun, who was standing next to him, shook his head: "It's said to be treatment, but it's actually just injecting some glucose and taking some antipyretic and cough tablets. The rest is just left to fate and wait for death."

    Sun Yuanqi asked again: "What suggestions do you have on how to prevent the epidemic?"

    Dr. Sun said: "After more than ten days of observation, we found that this disease may be mainly transmitted through droplets, so the most effective way is to isolate the patient, open windows for ventilation, and disinfect and sterilize the surrounding area. However, we reported to the Binjiang Hall and Northwest Hospital  After the road recommendations, there was no follow-up at all. After many people learned that the disease was contagious, in order to avoid official investigation, they even abandoned the bodies of their dead relatives on the streets late at night."

    Doctor Yao came out and said angrily: "Not to mention throwing dead people, there are also people who throw alive people. Yesterday I went out and witnessed a patient who had not yet died being pulled out of the house and thrown on the street. There happened to be someone nearby.  There was a patrolman on guard duty. When I asked him why he didn't ask about this matter, he said without shame: "I'm just a patrolman. They can throw away my family members if they want to. What can I do? Don't just throw them here, they will die here and have nothing to do with me."  What¡¯s the matter?¡¯ It made me so angry.¡±

    Sun Yuanqi plundered a few from the volunteer's backpack and handed them to two doctors, Yao and Sun: "On the way here, I heard Mr. Dao Yu from the Northwest Road say that you two discovered that this epidemic may be transmitted through droplets. This  It is an important discovery. This is a mask. Although it has no obvious effect on other infections, it has a very good protective effect on diseases transmitted by droplets. You put it on and try it, and we will go in and take a look together."

    Although in the Yuan Dynasty court, eunuchs and maids serving the emperor already wore silk cloth on their mouths and noses to prevent contamination of food.  But the real popularity of masks, especially medical masks, only appeared in Europe at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.  When the plague broke out in Northeast China, one of the preventive measures Sun Yuanqi thought of was to wear a mask. However, he searched all over the country and found that none of the textile factories in China produced masks.  Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to draw the pattern and ask the textile factory to process it on his behalf.  Fortunately, the style is simple and the process is not complicated. Soon the first batch of samples were sent to Shanhaiguan and followed Sun Yuanqi and others to the north.

    The two were greatly moved and hurriedly put on masks and guided Sun Yuanqi into the hospital.

    The so-called nursing home was a temporary renovation of a public bathroom, with an area of ??only a few dozen square meters. It was filled with all kinds of beds. There were so many patients that even the floor was covered with bedding.  In addition to two doctors, Yao and Sun, there are only five nursing assistants in the hospital.

    Sun Yuanqi looked at it for a while, then exited the hospital. He said coldly to the officials of the Binjiang Department: "You go back now and tell Liu Jingren that I will give him until noon tomorrow to find a thirty-room courtyard to serve as an infectious disease hospital. If you can't find it,  At this point, he, a colleague of Binjiang Hall, will be treated as the end!" (To be continued.
