Therefore, a military officer was sent out to find Dong Cheng.

After a while, Dong Cheng and the military officer returned, but they were the only ones who returned, and no sign of the governor was seen.

"Everyone, the governor locked himself in the back house of the Yamen and closed the door tightly. I shouted hoarsely, but I couldn't let them open the door. I... still haven't seen the governor!" Dong Cheng said hoarsely.

sighed.

Palace Butler: "Mr. Dong, the situation is urgent now. Since Governor Fang is unwilling to come and make suggestions, we might as well just ignore him. With or without him, I believe we can hold on!"

The butler of the palace has a very high status, higher than everyone present.

So when he spoke, it was almost the final word.

If the matter was really pursued afterward, the Prince of Poyang would naturally stand up and speak for Dong Cheng.

So everyone, including Dong Cheng, nodded in agreement.

The palace steward stared at Zhu Xiuyuan again: "Master Zhu, since you have the method to prevent and control the plague, it is up to you to make arrangements."

Zhu Xiuyuan and everyone acquiesced, so he did his duty, walked to the middle of the crowd, saluted everyone, and then asked: "You're welcome, then. What's the latest situation?"

Just now when everyone set out to look for the big bosses, some people also went to inquire about the latest situation.

What Zhu Xiuyuan is asking now is the latest situation.

"According to reports from people below, the number of infected people has increased by several thousand!" someone responded.

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and continued: "Just now, I have carefully studied the mixed records in the ancient book fragments and figured out four ways to prevent and control the plague!"

Dong Cheng asked hurriedly: "Which four points?"

The palace steward interjected: "Master Dong, don't be impatient. Let Mr. Zhu finish his words first."

Zhu Xiuyuan pursed his lips: "By the way, let's count the available manpower first."

"Yamen Prefecture has five hundred soldiers!"

"Yamen servants, six civil servants, etc., a total of two hundred."

"There are more than three thousand civilians."

"About 2,000 young people were gathered from the victims. By the way, there are also more than 1,000 tea farmers from Fuliang County."

"The female relatives among the victims can also be used. I'm afraid there are thousands of them..."

"There are five hundred generals in the palace. By the way, there are still a thousand soldiers left in the Jiangzhou camp to guard the camp. They will be transferred when I write a warrant..."

Zhu Xiuyuan listened carefully. After everyone had finished speaking, he spoke: "Compared with the hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangzhou City and the tens of thousands of people infected with the plague, we may not have enough manpower. Moreover, our manpower may also be insufficient."

If you contract the plague, it won't be enough."

Dong Cheng stood up and said, "My dear son-in-law, you don't have to worry about manpower. As you said just now, we have hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangzhou City. If we are really short of people, we can still recruit civilian men from them."

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded: "Okay, I will tell you these four methods of preventing and controlling plague."

"The first point is that we must gather people infected with the plague to avoid infecting more people! However, when gathering people infected with the plague, we must be careful. Everyone must cover their mouth and nose with a towel to avoid direct contact with others.

Contact with sick people to avoid infecting yourself."

Everyone nodded.

This point is easier to understand. It can be summed up in one word: isolation!

However, Zhu Xiuyuan added two more precautions: cover your mouth and nose and avoid direct contact with patients.

"Second point, as the saying goes, 'Disease comes from the mouth.' We must control the safety of everyone's drinking water and food." Zhu Xiuyuan added.

When everyone heard this, they felt confused.

Is there a saying that "diseases come from the mouth"?

They thought hard and found that they had indeed never heard of this saying.

But if you think about it more carefully, there is some truth to this saying.

Because they have heard another saying: If people eat whole grains, who can be free from disease?

Zhu Xiuyuan did not notice the little thoughts in everyone's mind, and continued: "First of all, it is the problem of water source. Whether it is the water you drink into your stomach, or the water used for washing hands, feet, bathing, and cooking, you need to use running water.

, and there can be no dead things in the water! In addition, the most important thing is that the water you drink into your stomach must be boiled, and you are not allowed to drink raw water! After the water is boiled and cooled, you cannot drink it, it must be hot!"

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan said these words, everyone was confused again.

Think about the times when natural disasters or plagues broke out in the past. How could people care about this when they were thirsty?

Not to mention drinking cold water, you have to drink it even when there is a rotting corpse soaked in the water source...

This one is a bit "weird" to them.

However, because they already knew in advance that these strange regulations came from the fragments of the ancient book.

And the ancient book fragments had already made Zhu Xiuyuan come up with new tea and abacus.

It is really a "book from heaven"!

So no one doubted what Zhu Xiuyuan said, but they were just a little confused and uncomfortable with it.

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced around and saw the confusion in everyone's eyes.

He smiled helplessly and said: "Prince's housekeeper, father-in-law, and all of you, this point is very important! It must be implemented resolutely. If possible, if you catch a person who violates the rules, you will be punished severely, severely punished.

Serve as a warning to others, because he will harm everyone!"

"hiss!"

Everyone can't stop breathing, is it necessary to make it so serious?

"I wish you to join the army, does it have to be like this? Is it too troublesome?" asked a certain Cao Shenjun.

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly felt a fire of samadhi in his heart, glared, and yelled: "Trouble!? What we are facing is a tragic plague, how can we dislike trouble! We must do that, otherwise we will all die.

.It is a matter of life and death, do you still find it troublesome? If possible, we should not hesitate to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and use the death of a wrongdoer to warn everyone!"

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly went berserk, frightening everyone.

Especially the military officer who had just asked the question was suppressed by Zhu Xiuyuan's aura. He shrank his neck and did not dare to move.

The steward of the palace was the first to react: "I agree with Mr. Zhu's words. Let me, the Prince of Poyang, supervise the people's violations!"

Dong Cheng also reacted and said to the palace steward: "Thank you very much, steward!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

After Zhu Xiuyuan and the others already knew the seriousness of this matter, they continued: "Okay, the next problem is eating. Just like drinking water, the food taken into the mouth must be clean, must be hot, and animals must be dead.

Meat from contaminated food is inedible, food that has become moldy is inedible, and food from unknown sources is inedible. And after each use of tableware, it must be placed in boiling water for a quarter of an hour. Tableware for normal people and tableware for people infected with the plague must be separated.
