After the discussion about drinking water just now, no one had any objections this time.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

On the other side, another scribe was writing furiously, recording everything Zhu Xiuyuan said in the book.

Not surprisingly, this record will be extremely valuable in the next few days!

The scribe who recorded it also knew the weight of this record, so he did not dare to neglect it.

Although Zhu Xiuyuan spoke very quickly, the scribe also wrote very quickly.

The scribe was professional and could just keep up with Zhu Xiuyuan's explanation speed.

"The next point, the official calls it 'environmental sanitation'. Everyone's clothes can be tattered, but they must be clean and changed once a day. Everyone needs to bathe once a day, and the bathing water must be water soaked in medicinal herbs.

.There are also various residues, which are not allowed to be thrown away randomly. They must be placed in one place and burned together."

"As for the dead of people infected with the plague, their corpses must be cremated and burned immediately, and their clothes and other common items must also be burned together. Quicklime is used to disinfect everywhere every day. Of course, specific herbs can also be burned and smoked to disinfect...

…”

"The third point is the issue of medicine and treatment." Zhu Xiuyuan paused, looked at the palace steward, and said: "Steward, this point requires the guidance and cooperation of your palace's Divine Doctor Zhang."

"I wish you, sir, to rest assured. I will take care of Dr. Zhang and will cooperate with you, sir."

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and continued: "At that time, please ask Divine Doctor Zhang to lead all the doctors in the city to diagnose and treat those infected with the plague and prescribe medicines. In addition, people who are not infected with the plague also need to take medicine to avoid contracting the plague."

"The fourth point is to clean up the unclean things. Whether it is people spreading filth or various rotting corpses, etc., we need to burn them or bury them in the deep soil!"

…

After Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking on the four points, he handed over the "baton" to Dong Cheng.

Faced with such a chaotic and complicated situation, among everyone present, Dong Cheng was probably the only one who had the ability to sort it out quickly.

Zhu Xiuyuan's eloquent talk just now can actually be said to be "paper talk", and it still needs Dong Cheng's overall arrangement and handling.

Dong Cheng lived up to expectations and quickly sorted out a clue among thousands of clues.

He immediately turned these clues into tasks and assigned them one by one to the five military officers except Zhu Xiuyuan, as well as the leaders of the three squadrons of government officials, as well as the Xunyang County Magistrate and others.

Of course, not all clues can be converted into tasks that can be directly executed.

There are two major problems.

One is the issue of food.

Of the 100,000 shi of grain confiscated last time, more than half of it has been eaten away by people over the past few days.

There is no way, there are hundreds of thousands of people waiting to eat this batch of food. How long can a mere 100,000 shi of food last?

Therefore, it is urgent to find new sources of food to successfully survive this tragic plague.

The second is the issue of medicinal herbs.

Nowadays, the market in Jiangzhou is filled with a large number of fake medicines, which are mixed with real medicines, which is really a headache.

…

The five military officers, the third squadron of yamen officers, the Xunyang County magistrate, and even the palace steward, etc., immediately went to gather men after receiving the mission from Dong Cheng.

They were gearing up and preparing for a vigorous "big movement."

Dong Cheng took the task of "solving the food crisis", while Zhu Xiuyuan took the task of "solving the counterfeit medicine issue".

After the two sons-in-law cherished each other, they each took their people to go about their own affairs...

At the gate of Jiangzhou Yamen, after watching the carriage of his father-in-law Dong Cheng go away, Zhu Xiuyuan stepped into his carriage.

Chang Suiyan Dashan asked: "My dear benefactor, where should we go first?"

Zhu Xiuyuan thought for a moment and then ordered: "Go back to the mansion first."

"Okay!" the coachman agreed and immediately drove in the direction of Dong's Mansion.

The carriage stopped on the street in front of Dong Mansion's gate, and Zhu Xiuyuan jumped out of the carriage.

He glanced back and forth and saw that the street in front of the gate of Dong's Mansion was empty, with no one there.

The gate of Dong's Mansion was also tightly closed.

How desolate!

Shaking his head, Zhu Xiuyuan and Yan Dashan approached the door. Zhu Xiuyuan looked over and Yan Dashan immediately understood and knocked on the door with his hand.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound of the door knocking was extremely loud.

In fact, Yan Dashan didn't use much force. It was just that the street was too quiet, so the sound of knocking on the door seemed particularly loud.

"who is it?"

A voice came from inside the door, with a sense of tension.

"Is it the housekeeper Dong Yun? It's me. Open the door quickly." Zhu Xiuyuan shouted loudly.

"It turns out to be my uncle, please wait a moment..."

Soon, the closed door opened. Dong Yun, the steward of the Dong Mansion, poked his head out. After seeing that the person who came was indeed Zhu Xiuyuan, he opened the door wide and let the way in: "Uncle.

Please come in!"

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and stepped into the door, followed closely by Yan Dashan.

Dong Yun immediately directed the two boys to close the door and pull the thick bolt.

Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He did not comment on Dong Yun's caution and he only asked: "Where are the eldest lady and the lady?"

"Back to my uncle, the eldest young lady and the second young lady are both in the Buddhist hall."

"oh."

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and immediately walked towards the Buddhist hall.

Yan Dashan and Dong Yun did not follow. Yan Dashan waited there, waiting for Zhu Xiuyuan to come out before he could follow his benefactor out again.

Dong Yun, on the other hand, moved a chair and sat down like a door god, keeping his eyes fixed on the door with the thick bolt closed...

The Buddhist hall of Dong's Mansion is located at the deepest part of the entire courtyard, in a quiet place that is not easily disturbed.

Zhu Xiuyuan passed through the front hall, middle hall, back hall, and two courtyards before entering the Buddhist hall.

This Buddhist temple is said to have been built by a certain lady from the ancestor of the Dong family. It is probably more than a hundred years old now.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan had no intention of studying history at this time.

To be honest, it is actually very mysterious whether they can survive this plague.

Although the various methods Zhu Xiuyuan just mentioned in the yamen's recording room are good, the insurmountable gap in medicine, execution ability, etc. restricts the entire process of fighting the plague...

Zhu Xiuyuan walked into the Buddhist hall quietly and saw a golden Buddha statue in the middle. There was another statue on both sides of it, a total of three statues, all of which were golden.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't know much about Buddha statues. He could only tell that one of them was Guanyin Bodhisattva. As for the other two, he didn't know what Buddha or Bodhisattva they were.

In front of the three Buddha statues, each has a bronze incense burner with three legs and two ears. There are three sticks of incense inserted in the incense burner, half of which have been burned.

The incense burns brightly and extinguishes, leaving only a few people in the room.

There are several large plates of tributes on the table.

There are various fruits, various pastries, and a roast chicken...

etc!

Roast chicken?

Isn't that a meat dish?
