308. Chapter 308 The Epidemic Worsens

Ye Zhen learned the whereabouts of the medicinal materials from Huangfu Chen, and she didn't know what to say.

She knew that Qiao Zebai was a student of her eldest uncle, and she often went to Ye's house. She met him once. He was a gentle and talented young man. It was hard for her to believe that it was him who did such a thing. .

"Master, what should we do now?" Ye Zhen asked, she was only worried that the plague would really break out if the disease was not under control.

Huangfuchen said in a low voice, "Zheng Yulong has asked people to find medicinal materials and reported to the imperial court. The embankment is out of control now. The only hope is that the rain can be stopped, otherwise those dead bodies in the village will be even more troublesome."

Ye Zhen frowned, "It's been raining for several days, why doesn't it stop?"

"Yaoyao, no matter what, we must control the situation in Huaijiang City, otherwise..." Huangfuchen's face was serious.

"What else?" Ye Zhen asked hastily.

Huangfuchen took a deep look at her, "Ah Zhan has only been enthroned for less than a year, if such a disaster occurs in the first year of the new emperor, it will inevitably shake the hearts of the people, and I am even more afraid that someone will take this opportunity as an excuse..."

Ye Zhen immediately understood what Huangfuchen meant, because she was afraid that someone would use this matter to say that Murong Zhan's throne was not right, and wanted to create chaos and seize the throne.

"Master, I understand what you mean." Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "As long as there are medicinal materials, if the disease can be controlled, there will be no problem. It is impossible for others to slander the emperor for being incompetent in governing the country. He doesn't matter at all."

"Yaoyao, natural disasters are the biggest excuse." Huangfuchen reminded her.

Ye Zhen smiled coldly, "That depends on who is being punished by the natural disaster. Don't you need to punish what Qiao Zebai has done for so many years?"

"You have a solution?" Huangfu Chen asked in surprise.

Now the best way is to take the lead and push the cause of the natural disaster to those who are greedy for ink, medicinal materials and disaster money. In this way, it can prevent others from harming Murong Zhan with this matter, but why is she doing this now? All she could think of was to protect Murong Zhan, obviously she wanted to pull him down from the throne before.

Ye Zhen shook her head in her heart, no one is more suitable to be emperor than him now, even for the people of Jin Kingdom, she has to protect his reputation.

...

...

I don’t know if God heard the prayers in everyone’s hearts. On the second day, the dark sky appeared a long-lost blue, and the downpour gradually turned into light rain.

"The rain has stopped!" Ye Zhen happily said to Huangfu Chen beside her.

Huangfuchen nodded with a smile, "God help us."

Zheng Yulong sent several carts of medicinal materials, all of which were borrowed from the pharmacies in the city. Ye Zhen took a look and found that many medicinal materials are useful. With these medicines, at least they can relieve urgent needs.

Huang Fuchen took other people from the medical office to the city to find people with fever. Zheng Yulong also ordered the city gates to be closed, and set up a temporary shelter outside, not to let those people into the city anymore.

Ye Zhen took Xia Yaohua to cook medicine together, the most urgent thing is to cure Qi Yizheng's illness first.

She remembered the prescriptions mentioned in Qi's medical classics, and changed the dosage slightly according to Qi Yizheng's illness. When cooking the medicine, she added some Lingquan. She didn't want to use Lingquan at first, but if she didn't, she would be fine. The longer the illness lasts, the more contagious it will be.

"This pot is for patients with fever, and this is for other people. No matter who it is, everyone in the city must drink a bowl." Ye Hao said, this is medicine to prevent typhoid fever, and she also With the addition of Lingquan, don't worry about anything else, I'm afraid that people who don't have the disease will be infected.

"Yaoyao, there are so many people in the city, how can we deliver them all?" Xia Yaohua said.

Ye Zhen thought about it carefully, "I asked Mr. Zheng to go to the city to issue a notice, and let those people come to the medical office to drink medicine."

One day later, Huang Fuchen found twenty patients infected with typhoid fever in the city, and when he wanted to take them to the medical office for isolation, their family members disagreed, so they had to send the medicine to their homes, and told them not to go out , so as not to pass typhoid fever to others.

At night, the backlog of water in the city is also gradually receding. It used to reach the thigh level, but now it has dropped, and the water level is just below the knees. I believe that when I wake up tomorrow morning, there should be no water in the city.

Ye Zhen hadn't slept all night, and felt tired even today. Under Huang Fuchen's persuasion, she went back to rest first, but she was still worried, so she went to cook a big pot of medicine herself, so that the people in the medical office would not forget Give medicine to people with typhoid fever.

Dai Mei also specially brought a can back home for the other servants in the mansion to drink a bowl.

The next day, Ye Zhen was woken up early in the morning.

"Yaoyao, it's not good. There are more and more people suffering from typhoid fever in the city." Xia Yaohua panted and said to her, "Yesterday there were only about twenty people, but today three of them died. Mr. Huangfu ordered the corpse to be dragged and burned, their family members were making a fuss, Mr. Zheng ordered a thorough search, and found more than 30 people with fever all over their bodies, what should we do?"

Ye Zhen gasped, dead?

"Where is Doctor Qi and that calf?" Ye Zhen hurriedly asked, the calf is the little boy she brought to the medical office yesterday.

"They don't have a fever today. Your medicine is very effective, but they still haven't woken up. Mr. Huangfuchen asked someone to continue feeding them medicine." Xia Yaohua said.

"Did the three dead people not take their medicine yesterday?" Ye Zhen asked with a frown.

Xia Yaohua said, "They felt that the medicines from our medical department were not as good as other doctors, so they took the medicines but didn't drink them, and everyone else drank the medicines...Master Zheng has sent people to forcibly arrest those who have typhoid fever and isolate them. "

"It's already like this in the city, I don't know what will happen outside." Ye Zhen felt a little scared, "What about the people outside the city?"

"After the rain stopped yesterday, those people have already gone back. Now there is no one outside the city gate, but the city gate is still closed." Xia Yaohua said.

Oops! The typhoid patients originally came in from outside. I heard that there are still many people in their village who are sick. If...if those corpses are still in the village, the people who are returning now are most likely to be infected.

"Quickly, go find Mr. Zheng!" Ye Zhen said, those people cannot be allowed to stay in the village, before those corpses are found and burned, the village must not be inhabited.

Xia Yaohua didn't know what happened, so she could only follow Ye Zhen hastily.

"Where does Mr. Zheng isolate those typhoid patients?" The medical department must not be able to accommodate so many people. Is there any place that can isolate dozens of people?

"He sent all the patients who didn't have typhoid fever to the yamen, and now the medical office is full of patients with typhoid fever." Xia Yaohua said.
