Chapter 375 375, Out of Control

Yan Bo looked calm and didn't feel there was anything wrong or embarrassing about being commanded by a woman.

They admired and admired this cousin from the bottom of their hearts. Although she was younger than them, she was more capable than them. They never regarded her as an ordinary woman.

The two brothers are self-aware, and they are very happy that their cousin and his wife can look up to them and specially promote them to do government affairs.

They don't have the experience and courage of the brothers in the caravan who travel all over the country all year round. They are really not qualified for tasks such as team training and leading teams on expeditions.

But when it comes to management matters, the two brothers have gained some experience from following their grandfather over the years, helping with chores in the village or running errands.

Especially Yan Bo, as the eldest grandson of the eldest son, Yan Zhongqing was even more attentive to his training and taught him a lot of skills in handling affairs.

This is why Yan Ze safely handed over Anju Town to him, while he himself took up the military position of commander.

Within two days, Anju Town had settled down, everyone's life was in order and returned to normal, and the previous dull atmosphere was gone.

It's just that now everyone consciously wears a mask when going out, because the Center for Prevention and Control has posted a notice that the epidemic has not yet been completely eliminated. For the sake of everyone's health, you must wear a mask when going out.

Within two days, the prevention and control center provided everyone with a mask, and each household had a bottle of disinfectant alcohol. The shops on the street were operating normally, and there was no phenomenon of price gouging.

There are inspection teams on the streets every day, which makes the people feel at ease.

The town entrance has now been closed. Except for a few families who left when the plague first broke out, no one has left Anju Town since then.

The more than 20 people who initially returned from Yong'an County and were quarantined in the prevention and control center are currently in relatively good condition, and have not experienced any adverse phenomena for the time being.

Of course, it may also have something to do with the timely prescription of some medicines by Qin Yiling and several doctors, which contained the situation in time. No matter what, the current situation in Anju Town and the eight villages under its jurisdiction is very good.

Qin Yiling did not favor one over the other. He distributed the same materials to the townspeople and also distributed the same materials to the eight villages. After all, these eight villages were the first to surrender to their National Government. This trust and sincerity cannot be betrayed.

What's more, there are many men from these eight villages who have followed Yan Ze on the expedition. They are charging at the front, so she naturally has to protect their families from behind.

In addition to sending ten soldiers to each village to guard the village, two nursing teams were also dispatched the next day to popularize epidemic prevention knowledge to the villagers, so as to reassure them.

In short, under the leadership of Qin Yiling and the strong execution of all cadres, the entire jurisdiction was safely controlled in two days without any mistakes.

Compared with the tranquility of Anju Town, as the place where the plague broke out, the situation in Yong'an County was a bit serious.

At first, it was just someone suddenly having a fever and vomiting, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it, just treating it as a normal illness. It wasn't until more and more people started to experience this phenomenon that the doctors in the medical center felt something was wrong.

Even a doctor who treated people had such symptoms. At this time, the medical people immediately became vigilant, and everyone began to consciously avoid it.

A doctor reported this matter to the people of the new government, hoping that they would come forward to investigate the matter, but the new government did not take it seriously at all, and just went through the motions and settled the matter.

Until someone broke the news that a person suffering from this disease vomited blood and died, it instantly caused panic among the people in the county. However, at this time, the new government sent people to suppress the news by force, and it was regarded as spreading false rumors. For this reason, the person was imprisoned.

He even came forward to tell the people of the county that this was just a common illness, and the people who died were also caused by other diseases, so that everyone should not believe it and live as usual.

However, the new government's appeasement did not last long and had little effect.

Because in the next two days after the Xingongfu crackdown, another person vomited blood and died. This news spread inadvertently in private, causing everyone to panic.

But most people still believed the rhetoric of the new government and continued to do whatever they had to do and live as before.

Until a week later, hundreds of people had this phenomenon, and many people crowded into several medical clinics and asked for medicine.

More and more people are dying, and this development trend is no longer within the control of the new government.

Until then, the Xingongfu County Magistrate finally realized the seriousness of the matter, which was even beyond his ability, so he did not dare to delay and immediately sent an urgent secret report to the Marshal's Mansion.

At the same time, people were sent to the county to suppress some people who took the opportunity to cause trouble.

However, the county's population is dense, and there are many exchanges between surrounding towns. Without a strong team, it cannot be suppressed at all. If the west side of the county can be suppressed, the east side of the county cannot be taken care of.

In short, Yong'an County was panicked for a while. Some people noticed something was wrong and picked up their bags and fled the county.

At this time, the county magistrate of the new government finally woke up for a while. He listened to the advice of the medical doctor and strengthened the security at the city gate. Once anyone was found to be unwell, he would be detained directly in a temporarily vacant house. inside.

But the protective measures taken at this time were obviously a bit late. It was unknown how many people had left Yongan County before this, and how many of them were sick?

But even so, the number of people infected is still increasing day by day, and even a specially arranged house can no longer accommodate it.

There is no other way. The county magistrate can only tell everyone to stay at home as much as possible and not go out. But everyone does not know the stakes, let alone the route of infection, so just let everyone stay at home honestly. Is it possible?

Although Yongan County has adopted similar preventive measures as Anju Town, the results are not satisfactory.

Many people are still wandering on the streets and go to work when they should, without taking any preventive measures. Apart from knowing to stay away from people who are sick, they are all confused.

The entire Yong'an County is seeing that the epidemic is about to be out of control and a large-scale outbreak is about to occur.

At this time, some rumors gradually spread in the county.

Passerby A: "Have you heard about it?"

Passerby B: "What?"

Passerby A: "I heard that the protective measures in Anju Town are very good. That place is very safe. No one has been infected so far."

Passerby C: "Is it true? I heard that there are infected people in villages and towns near the county. Why aren't there in Anju Town?"
