"It's no exaggeration at all. If we finally defeat this plague, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to clean up the entire Jiangzhou territory..."

"Oh, right!"

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly slapped his legs and shouted, instantly cutting off everyone's discussion. Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhu Xiuyuan one by one.

I saw him saying excitedly: "I forgot one thing, a very important point. If this is added to the method of preventing and controlling plague, we will have one more way to block plague infection!"

"What method?"

"Catch snakes, rats, mosquitoes!"

"Snake, rat and mosquito?" Everyone was surprised, thinking, what is the relationship between this plague and snake, rat and mosquito?

Zhu Xiuyuan naturally would not tell them that rats, mosquitoes, bugs, etc. are vectors for the spread of viruses and bacteria.

For example, the Black Death, or plague, in the European Middle Ages directly destroyed the dark Middle Ages and ushered in the dawn of the Renaissance.

The chain of infection of the plague is that rats transmit it to fleas, and the fleas then bite humans, inject Yersinia pestis, and eventually infect humans...

But it was hundreds of years later when humans discovered this chain of transmission.

Zhu Xiuyuan is not very sure what kind of disease this plague is.

Whether it's caused by bacteria or a virus, I don't know yet.

Whether it can be transmitted through rats or mosquitoes is even less clear.

However, when nothing is clear, it does not mean that there is no solution.

Since we can't prescribe the right medicine, we should cast a wide net.

Blocking all transmission routes for viruses and bacteria will always block the real transmission routes.

Regardless of what Dong Cheng and everyone present thought, Zhu Xiuyuan said excitedly: "Father-in-law, we'd better mobilize all the people in the city immediately to hunt down snakes, rats, mosquitoes, etc., and cremate them!"

A trace of confusion flashed in Dong Cheng's eyes, but he thought that this might be the content recorded in the "Book of Heaven" in the ancient fragments, so he did not dare to neglect and conveyed this important instruction.

So tonight the whole Jiangzhou city was in a state of excitement again.

There were shouts and shouts of killing rats and mosquitoes everywhere, all night long.

By "beheading" the chickens to scare the monkeys, the people in the city now dare not neglect any method of preventing and controlling the plague.

The recommendation to kill snakes, rats and mosquitoes has been thoroughly implemented.

At the same time, a team that was cleaning up all kinds of filth and corpses in the city walked out of the city gate for the first time and began to clean up all kinds of filth and corpses outside the city.

The first step is to clean up the captured corpses in the moat, whether they are human or various animals.

…

…

Two days later.

The state government official signed a contract to join the army and be held in custody.

"Everyone, the number of new people infected with the plague last night has dropped to one thousand!" Someone reported the number of people infected by the plague as usual.

"Haha, good, the number of infected people has finally come down!"

"The number of infections has dropped from tens of thousands to tens of thousands now to a thousand. It seems that our plague prevention and control methods are indeed miraculous!"

A faint smile appeared on everyone's faces.

This smile was the first since the flood started.

These days, they are really living like a year.

First there were heavy rains and floods, then the water level of the Yangtze River surged, and then there was an outbreak of plague...

Disasters occur one after another, catching people off guard.

During this period, there were also food shortage crises, medicine shortage crises, etc., and then complicated and cumbersome plague prevention and control methods were implemented...

But in general, those who survived the ordeal, although they seemed to have gone through a purgatory, were still alive after all.

And those who died in floods and plagues... were really dead!

"All this is due to Zhu Shenjun. If there were no methods to prevent and control the plague, we would have been infected with the plague and would have died long ago!" A certain Cao Shenjun cupped his fists and bowed his hands to Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you Zhu Xiuyuan for joining the army, otherwise we would have turned into a handful of loess!" Everyone in the signing room saluted Zhu Xiuyuan.

Zhu Xiuyuan hurriedly returned the gift and said modestly: "Where is it? Not to mention that this method of preventing and controlling the plague comes from the fragments of ancient books, but only those who implement this method of preventing and controlling the plague are the heroes! My lords, you also have a share in this.

Credit!”

"Hey, Zhu Canjun, you can't say that. Although the fragments of ancient books are good, if you didn't read the contents of Zhu Canjun and turned them into methods to prevent and control the plague, it would be useless and just a pile of waste.

It’s just paper. I wish you all the best in joining the army, it’s all your fault!”

"Okay! Okay!" Dong Cheng waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Everyone immediately stopped complimenting each other and looked at Dong Cheng.

"Everyone deserves credit. My dear son-in-law, your contribution is the greatest. There is no doubt that there is no need to be modest."

"But this plague has not completely disappeared. Although the number of new infections per day has dropped to one thousand, it is still a very large number. We still have a long way to go!"

Although Dong Cheng's face was tired, he was finally no longer tense as he had been in the past few days.

It is actually very good that they can control this plague that spreads so fast.

Yesterday, people sent out to inquire about the news learned that some counties and counties around Jiangzhou have been completely turned into empty cities, with dead bodies everywhere and no sound of human beings heard.

Some prefectures and counties implemented Zhu Xiuyuan's plague prevention and control methods, but the implementation was not as intensive as Jiangzhou, so the effect was not good. However, some people survived and did not die.

But even if there is no death, there will not be so many people like Jiangzhou who can survive!

Being at the center of the entire plague outbreak, Jiangzhou was able to control the spread of the plague to only infect a thousand people a day, and it was a miracle that there were still so many survivors!

Dong Cheng had been an official for many years and had read countless newspapers and historical documents. There had never been a plague outbreak that could reach their level.

Although this plague has not been completely eradicated, it is enough to make people proud.

"Sir, according to Dr. Zhang, he has learned a lot about the plague after testing medicines in the past few days. He will be able to prepare a good prescription to treat the plague as soon as tomorrow or the next day!" said a certain Cao Shenjun.

"Okay!" Dong Cheng nodded heavily. He stood up from his chair and said happily: "Even if Doctor Zhang's prescription cannot cure patients who have been infected with the plague, it should be able to treat people who have just been infected with the plague...

…”

Everyone here understood the meaning of Dong Cheng's words. If the medicine could cure people who had just been infected with the plague, it would almost completely stop the spread of the plague!

Treat every infection, and the final number of new infections will be zero!
Chapter completed!
