Chapter 758 To appease the people

Qi Ranran's palms were soaked with sweat, and a layer of cold sweat formed on his back.

There are many dynasties in history where plague occurred.

Every outbreak of plague was undoubtedly a serious blow to the imperial court.

In ancient times, there were no tests that could determine who was sick and who was not.

Therefore, in history, many rulers would seal off villages and massacre them in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

The casualties were heavy, as can be seen.

What about the current situation?

Especially, so many people have been infected in Chang and Jiangsu,

When she thought that if the matter was not resolved, countless people would die every day, her heart ached.

The hands falling in front of him were also clenched tightly.

Jiang Yuanzheng spoke up after the governor's words,

"For your information, Your Majesty, the ministers and the governor have slightly different opinions.

According to Weichen, the symptoms of this epidemic are very similar to those of the plague.

But there are some differences.”

As he spoke, he explained the situation in detail.

Jiang Yuanzheng has checked the pulse records of recent patients and the pulse records previously recorded in the city in the past few days.

He also followed the methods of fighting the plague recorded in ancient books, compared and tested them, and found any discrepancies.

"A few days ago, Wei Chen heard about the patient's symptoms and thought it was plague.

So he treated the plague first,

At first, the patient's condition did improve,

But in the next few days, the condition would not be cured, but would get worse.

This is really unusual.

The symptoms were very similar to those of wind-cold at first, and then the symptoms that the governor just mentioned appeared.

And it is repetitive and highly infectious,

Wei Chen feels that this is not just the plague."

It is most likely a disease stronger than the plague.

As for what the disease is, it remains to be verified.

Furthermore, plague mostly occurs in famine years, and often occurs in barren lands.

Chang and Jiangsu have always been prosperous places.

It is really strange that such a situation suddenly broke out.

Jiang Yuanzheng continued to speak,

"The people in the village where the accident happened first,

He suffered from a cough first. Because his condition was not obvious, it did not attract the attention of the people.

But it was followed by difficulty in breathing, followed by high fever, swollen neck, and redness all over the body.

Previously, the spread of the disease among the people caused the disease to lurk silently among the people."

It wasn't until an entire village suddenly died that it attracted attention.

“Because population movements are frequent these days and have not been recorded,

During these days, Wei Chen discussed with the governor and quarantined the patient first."

According to the severity of the symptoms, they were dispatched by the government to distinguish them first.

To control the spread of the epidemic,

It can also prevent people from contracting diseases without knowing it.

After Jiang Yuanzheng's words, the governor's face became more serious and he asked the emperor again for instructions.

"Your Majesty, at this time, do you want to... seal the city?"

Nowadays, Changsu and Changzhou are too dangerous. In order to prevent the disease from spreading, this is a feasible solution.

But if this happens, there will inevitably be a shortage of supplies.

There is a shortage of supplies, and the people in the city are afraid of changes and are in urgent need of support from the court.

After listening to the reports from the governor and Jiang Yuanzheng, Yu Wenchen was silent for a moment, and then spoke out,

“For the current plan, the first thing to do is to appease the people.

The city will be closed from now on. During this period, the people will be provided with daily necessities, food, shelter, and transportation by the court.

Secondly, I will call in doctors to help."

Previously, a public medical clinic was established in Beijing and many doctors were recruited. After review and inspection, it can be put to use now.
