Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the study room of Qianqing Palace.

    Emperor Hongzhi convened the cabinet ministers, six ministers, and the governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Office to discuss the immediate epidemic prevention and control matters.

    "Dear dear friends, the epidemic situation in Beijing and Tianjin has undergone strict control measures and has now been greatly improved. Order is stable, the number of new infections has dropped rapidly, and a large number of patients have received timely treatment."

    There is a raging fire in Emperor Hongzhi's heart, but on the surface he talks about the current epidemic with a smile.

    The Beijing-Tianjin area stabilized very quickly because the emperor was at the feet of the emperor and Zhu Houzhao was the chief envoy to the Northern Zhili. The focus was on prevention and control in Beijing and Tianjin.

    And the Beijing-Tianjin area also has the largest number of hospitals and medical clinics, and the technology is also the best.

    There are two professional medical schools in Beijing alone: ??Daming Medical College and Daming Royal Medical College. They not only cultivate a large number of medical talents, but also enter a new medical field.

    Especially after the invention of the microscope, bacteriology and virology have become a specialized research course, and research on various diseases has been at the forefront of the world.

    Like this plague, if we go by historical data, the mortality rate of the plague is 9%, and traditional Chinese medicine has almost no cure for the plague.

    But this time in the Beijing-Tianjin area, thanks to the research on bacteria and viruses by two medical schools, a large number of research results have been accumulated. With accumulated experience, a complete set of treatment methods have been researched and summarized.

    Although streptomycin, a specific drug for treating plague, has not yet been developed, it has greatly reduced the mortality rate caused by plague. The most critical thing is control, which can quickly control the spread of plague.

    Liu Jin has attached great importance to this aspect from the beginning, because he is well aware of the urbanization and industrialization development of the Ming Dynasty, and the population is highly concentrated in cities.

    Once plague, plague, smallpox, etc. occur, the consequences will be catastrophic.

    Liu Jin has carried out defense in many aspects. The first is the city's water supply system and sewage system. The city's water supply has basically achieved a unified supply of tap water. The tap water has been disinfected, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of diseases.

    At the same time, the improvement of the sewage system will also make the city cleaner and will not be as smelly as European cities at the same time. This can also greatly reduce the occurrence of various plagues.

    City garbage is also cleaned and transported outside the city by dedicated personnel every day, which has greatly reduced the outbreak and spread of various infectious diseases.

    If the same plague occurs in Europe, it will probably be another Black Death pandemic. It is not known how many people will die. Even though the scale of European cities is far smaller than that of Ming Dynasty, their poor sanitary conditions are  A breeding ground for disease and plague.

    Liu Jin also attached great importance to the research and progress of medical science and technology. He established a medical school to summarize past medical experience and cultivate medical talents. At the same time, more importantly, he researched new medical techniques, studied various infectious diseases, etc.

    After more than 20 years of development, the losses from this epidemic have been minimized. The Beijing-Tianjin area alone has quickly brought it under control, and the mortality rate is also very low. This is enough.  It shows that these efforts are not in vain.

    "However, this time the epidemic has spread to almost all major cities in Ming Dynasty, especially in the northern region. Because of the drought, the epidemic is particularly serious."

    "I am also very worried about this. Are there any memorials from various places reporting on the epidemic prevention situation in each place?"

    Emperor Hongzhi glanced at everyone and asked.

    In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Emperor Hongzhi was very clear about what he did well and what he did poorly. Now he was asking this question to see if these ministers were honest and whether they had supervisors who were responsible for their respective duties.  Area.

    This time, the imperial court assigned the responsibilities of the major provinces and cities of the Ming Dynasty to these important officials in front of them.

    For example, Han Wen, the chief minister of the cabinet, is mainly responsible for the two provinces of Henan and Shaanxi. He has done a very good job. The epidemic in these two provinces has been controlled and order is stable. At the same time, patients have been treated and the mortality rate is not high.  .

    As a native of Shandong, Mao Ji is mainly responsible for the epidemic prevention in his hometown of Shandong and South Zhili provinces, while Yang Tinghe is responsible for the two provinces of Shanxi and Grassland.

    Responsibilities have been divided at the highest level of the court, and responsibilities have been assigned to people. According to this method, the responsibilities have been implemented layer by layer, and the responsibilities have been assigned to everyone, and the strictest control measures have been implemented to prevent the continued spread of the epidemic.

    &nbsEveryone couldn't help but be shocked. These officials below were really doing anything to make a fortune.

    This Tang Mu not only ignored the epidemic, but even kept his family's factories open day and night, and also directly annexed several factories in the name of the epidemic.

    What is even more abominable is colluding with profiteers, deliberately driving up food prices, suppressing honest businessmen, finding a name for these honest businessmen to be imprisoned in prison, and then making huge fortunes with those profiteers.

    The disaster relief grains sent by the imperial court made him directly transfer them to grain merchants and sell them at high prices.

    What this has done is simply appalling and unbelievable.

    "Everyone felt chills on their spines after reading it. No wonder Emperor Hongzhi was so angry. The key is that Emperor Hongzhi still knew the situation in various places clearly. If the same was true in the places he was responsible for, it would be over
