Several imperial doctors agreed on the formula and completely ignored Xue Yao's suggestion to isolate the patient.
The problem this time is obviously much more serious than that of Shu Dao and Liang Rao.
Although it is not certain that this plague is the plague, it is obvious that it is also a highly communicable disease with a fatality rate of nearly 100%.
If these imperial doctors and the local people do not cooperate with the quarantine, Xue Yao will have nothing to do.
The plague is truly a city-killing plague with a very short incubation period. Once infected, it takes about three to seven days for the person to become ill and die violently.
According to plague records in history, the plague in the 14th century alone killed more than half of the British people and more than 70% of the French people.
It was also introduced into China in 1910.
Even at the beginning of the 20th century, the medical community generally believed that plague was transmitted from rats to humans, rather than from person to person.
Ancient China had no understanding of Yersinia pestis. Wu Xuanchong, the doctor who wrote the "Plague Treatment Method", believed that the cause of plague came from the earth's atmosphere.
In modern times, it seems to be a matter of common sense. In ancient times, it was like crossing the river by feeling for the stones, and there was no concept of preventing sterilization.
In this case, Xue Yao had only one way - to notify the local court envoy, six hundred miles away, to request the prince to urgently appoint him as the person in charge of epidemic prevention, and to give him the right to temporarily mobilize troops from three counties.
It can only be enforced by force.
In fact, the prince does not have such great rights. If he did, Xue Yao would have made these demands to the prince before he came.
To obtain these rights, the prince must ask the emperor, and the prince intends to conceal and quickly solve the epidemic to avoid natural and man-made disasters.
But now things can no longer be concealed. If it is really a plague, at least half of the deaths will be in these three counties in the future.
The reason why it did not continue to spread outwards is probably because the three counties have inconvenient transportation to the outside world, and the plague occurs so quickly that the refugees with the plague died locally before they could go out.
As soon as the doctor's meeting ended, Xue Yao wrote an urgent letter and sent Zhang Si to the inn. After that, he went back to the house to pick up the masks he had prepared in advance and distributed them to the imperial doctors.
He solemnly begged doctors again and again to wear masks when visiting patients and wash hands with soap and water immediately after visiting patients.
In the next few days, Xue Yao did not follow other doctors for medical visits.
Now we are waiting for the prince's reply. If he gets the military power, Xue Yao will immediately isolate the patients forcibly.
If the prince still conceals the truth and cannot mobilize troops, Xue Yao will return to Beijing.
He can only wait for death if he keeps it, he still has a little fat cub to feed.
However, six days later, before the prince¡¯s response, Xue Yao received bad news¡ª¡ª
People in Pingrong County plan to gather to perform sacrifices to "send off the God of Plague".
Xue Yao learned from the local government officials that this kind of sacrifice requires the patients to sit collectively on the altar.
During the sacrificial ceremony, there was even the act of drinking incense and ashes as a form of death.
The feeling of despair and powerlessness is something Xue Yao has never felt in the past ten years.
If such a "large-scale infection ceremony" were to take place, the entire Pingrong County would be doomed.
Xue Yao immediately paid a visit to the magistrate of Pingrong County, showed him the prince's seal letter, and asked him to cooperate with him to prevent people from gathering.
This made the county magistrate very embarrassed.
"Sacrificial activities such as sending off the god of plague do not violate the royal law, and there is no reason for the government to suppress it based on emotion and reason."
Pingrong County has just experienced a natural disaster and suffered from a plague. The people are already miserable. If they are not allowed to ask gods to drive away the plague at this time, there may be big trouble.
When Xue Yao saw the county magistrate talking about him, he guessed that he wanted to evade it tactfully.
"Master County Magistrate, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially sent me to Pingrong County to control the epidemic. He will send me the military talisman in a few days. I won't need your help by then. However, the military talisman has not arrived yet. The situation is urgent. Please cooperate. "
The magistrate smiled with a flattering look on his face, but still refused to let go: "Since His Highness the Crown Prince asked you to eliminate the epidemic, why don't you let the people send the plague god away?"
Xue Yao: ""
" Talking about infection to him at this time is completely nonsense. Even if you are eloquent, even God can't fool you.
The only thing you can do is
"Do you know who my grandfather is?" Xue Yao's face darkened and he asked the county magistrate fiercely.
It¡¯s time to give Grandpa a try!
Fighting against dad and grandpa is very effective in any era, regardless of ancient or modern times.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?; Xue Yao asked tentatively: "Buy a new sickle?"
"Yes! Buy a new one, who can tell?"
"The head catcher saw that your family had a new sickle. How could he not know that you were the one who killed him?"
How can it be so easy to resolve a case? But Xue Yao felt that this man looked simple-minded and should be easy to deceive.
The strong man was really frightened by him, and his hand holding the sickle couldn't help trembling.
Apart from the strong man's breathing, the only sound left in the room was Xue Yao's heartbeat like a drum.
My mind is in a state of chaos at the moment, with all sorts of random things spinning around.
¡°I never expected that I would die in the hands of a stranger so mysteriously.
He wanted to save people, but was misunderstood by the rescuer.
If this sickle is cut off, what is the meaning of his rebirth in this life?
The prince's position was not preserved.
He even raised Long Aotian¡¯s cub into a husky.
what to do?
??So reluctant.
"Calm down, I'm not an official. I came all the way from the capital to Pingrong County just to save you."
Xue Yao looked at the strong man candidly: "When I came back, the low-interest grains distributed to you were all raised by me from Jiangsu and Zhejiang all the way. Did you borrow grains? Do you remember? I was sitting behind the yamen servant when I registered. Next to the coffee table, to prevent the government servants from taking advantage of the people."
The strong man gradually opened his eyes and carefully recognized Xue Yao's face.
But in fact, Xue Yao was not always present when supervising the grain distribution, and most farmers had never seen him at all.
Xue Yao felt funny in his heart. How bad could a farmer who risked his life to avenge his father be? If you keep fooling around, maybe your life will be saved.
"My grandfather is a high-ranking official in the capital and cares about the people. I am originally from Jiangsu and have nothing to do with Pingrong County for eight lifetimes. I have no grudges or grudges. Why should I harm the people here?" Xue Yao continued to reason: "On the contrary, it is I lent millions of dan of grain to the three affected counties. To put it bluntly, if something happened to the common people, wouldn¡¯t I lose all my money?¡±
The strong man probably couldn't find anything to say to refute, he frowned and stared at Xue Yao: "Then why don't you let us send the God of Plague away!"
"Because your kind of sacrifice is actually inviting the god of plague."
It is impossible to talk about scientific principles. Xue Yao can only use superstition to restrain superstition and make nonsense: "We have invited a real heavenly master in the capital. It is he who predicted that you were deceived by the lies of the Plague God and wanted to do something to strengthen the Plague God." Mana, that¡¯s why I was sent to stop it.¡±
The strong man said angrily: "What kind of bullshit Celestial Master are you! This sacrifice has been a tradition of our county for hundreds of years! How could it be a lie by the God of Plague!"
Xue Yao fell silent and looked at him quietly.
I was actually quite panicked.
What should I do? I can¡¯t think of an excuse.
"There's no need to quibble!" The strong man saw that he was running out of words.
"You don't believe me." Xue Yao said, "Then are you willing to make a bet with me? If you are willing, I will ask the magistrate to allow you to offer sacrifices."
The strong man asked doubtfully: "What bet?"
Xue Yao took a deep breath and said: "You can offer sacrifices, but all villagers are not allowed to attend. Only five representative villagers who are not afraid to hold sacrifices are allowed to hold the ceremony according to your rules. After that, leave immediately and go home. I Let me make a bet with you - at least three of the five village representatives participating in the ceremony will cause the plague and will die violently within five days! If it comes true, will it be enough to prove that this ritual invites plague rather than sends it away? "
