"Now it's October 29th, and it will be the New Year in one month. It's the time when all kinds of merchants finally enter Beijing. If they intercept people at this time, how many people will have to be blocked from going home?"
Some people objected, "Your Majesty, the capital has a population of one million. Once smallpox enters the capital, the consequences will be disastrous."
The Tai Hospital sitting on the sidelines nodded three times, that would be too scary, when the time comes, the people from the Tai Hospital must rush to the front, are they going to die
"Not only the capital, but Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Longzhou, Youzhou, and Yongzhou from Xiazhou to the south must be careful..."
"Then it's better to just cut off the way out of Xia Zhou."
"Didn't Yang Heshu blockade Xiazhou?"
"It's a pity that he won Xiazhou for a short time. Before that, people should have come out of the city. It's better to order the states to find people, and isolate them as soon as possible."
When everyone said this, they looked at the emperor, hoping that he would come up with an idea.
The emperor pondered for a while and said: "Let's do this, recruit doctors from all over the country to treat smallpox patients nearby."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Imperial Physician Liu and the others, "You have to ask the Imperial Hospital how to prevent and treat smallpox."
Imperial Physician Liu responded immediately, and then said: "Your Majesty, every state needs to prepare medicinal materials for treating smallpox, and the medicinal materials in Xiazhou may not be enough."
The emperor said in a deep voice, "Hubu..."
Liu Shangshu responded, but it was rare that he didn't cry out for poverty, but only said that he would try his best to prepare medicinal materials and send them to Xiazhou as soon as possible.
The next step is to talk about candidates for Xiazhou.
Yang Heshu's emergency documents came here not only to make the capital ready, but also to ask the court for medicine and help.
This person is naturally too medical.
So everyone looked at Tai Hospital in unison.
Before coming, Imperial Physician Liu and the others had discussed briefly, and Man Bao volunteered to go, but Imperial Physician Liu definitely couldn't let her go alone, so he said, "Emperor Zhou and Imperial Physician Lu and Imperial Physician Zheng go."
Everyone looked at the imperial hospital in the wrong way, and it was fine for Lu imperial physicians and Zheng imperial physicians. Zhou Man is so young, this is a life-threatening errand, and it is dangerous.
Too hospital and too unkind.
Imperial Physician Liu ignored their gazes. He didn't intend to send Zhou Man there at first. Again, she's too young. It would be a pity if... and she never had acne.
Imperial Physician Lu has had acne, and he has a secret recipe to treat smallpox in his hand, there is no danger if he goes there, only credit.
But when she was in the Imperial Hospital, she tried her best to recommend herself, and even asked him to whisper, "My fourth brother and the others should be in Xiazhou City now, and please ask Imperial Physician Liu to help."
Worrying about her family, Imperial Physician Liu understood, so she agreed to her request.
This is the internal affairs of the Tai Hospital. Although I feel dissatisfied, the bosses have no intention of interfering, so the matter is settled like this.
The emperor quickly said: "The Ministry of Households should collect medicinal materials as soon as possible, and the Imperial Hospital will set off when they are ready. Everyone should be on guard."
Everyone stood up and stepped down, and then retreated.
Liu Shangshu took people and people from Tai Hospital to change places to discuss the departure time.
Liu Shangshu said: "Give me the medicine list, and I will try my best to prepare all the medicines within two days. The imperial physician who has been away for two days is also saying goodbye to his family."
Imperial Physician Liu accepted instead of them, and went back with Imperial Physician Xiao Zhou Man to prepare the prescription.
Man Bao urged him, "In addition to the medicinal materials used to reduce fever and acne, there are also medicinal materials for preventing and treating wind and cold."
So he gave three prescriptions in a row, and the amount of medicine depends on whether the doctors Liu and Xiao are cruel enough.
The two imperial physicians thought about it, Xiazhou is now in a time of ice and snow, and it will be difficult if there is another epidemic. The medicinal materials in the city are precious, and maybe there will be concurrent wind and cold. If it is serious, it will turn into a seasonal epidemic. It is indeed necessary to prepare some medicinal materials.
So they added all the herbs in her prescription, and they added a few herbs that they might use.
So before the evening, the household department received a long medicine list.
Liu Shangshu couldn't help but twitched when he saw the names of the medicinal materials and the required dosage, and asked, "Have Imperial Physicians Zheng, Imperial Physician Lu, and Zhou Man left the palace?"
"Not yet, the imperial physicians and medical assistants in their imperial hospital were still in a meeting when Xiaguan came from the imperial hospital."
Liu Shangshu nodded, and after collecting the medicine list, summoned Zuo Shilang, and said to him: "Now, go and invite the shopkeepers of a few medicine shops, and bring along the officials who often buy for the Imperial Hospital, and see how many medicine dealers are still in the capital. Now, the medicine on the list will be bought at three times."
Zuo Shilang was surprised, "Why do you want so many?"
He thought it would be enough to buy twice as much.
Liu Shangshu said meaningfully: "I'm afraid the situation in Xiazhou is not good. Although Yang Heshu didn't say it clearly, he should have reported the epidemic to the governor of Xiazhou before, but the capital has never heard of it. This time, he directly united with Xiazhou's defenders to take down the Governor's Mansion, and he is the son of everyone, if he can be forced to make such a bad move, the situation in Xiazhou must be bad."
"So buy more, and Xiazhou will be needed later, not to mention," Liu Shangshu lowered his voice, "Maybe we will also need it here in the capital. Smallpox started from the north of the city, and the people who live in the north of Xiazhou It's officials, rich and fuji gentry, no one knows how many people came out before the closure of the city... "
And is there anyone coming to the capital now
Liu Shangshu said: "When you go back, tell the family by the way, don't go out if you have nothing to do."
Zuo Shilang was startled and understood.
He took the list and wanted to go down, Liu Shangshu urged again: "It's best to sign the list tonight, and get the medicinal materials tomorrow. Those medicinal material merchants and drug shops are very clever, just like smelling cats. Prices have gone up."
Zuo Shilang responded, and hurried to find someone to leave the imperial city.
And Man Bao and the others are still having a meeting in the Tai Hospital.
How to prevent and control smallpox should always be unified, and how to organize manpower and various distributions should also be briefly discussed.
When they were all settled, Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Xiao left Imperial Physician Lu to talk, while Man Bao and the others collected their things and left the palace.
Imperial Physician Zheng took two steps to catch up with Man Bao, and said in a low voice: "It should be because of the prescription in Imperial Physician Lu's hand, Imperial Physician Zhou, do you have any clues to treat smallpox?"
Man Bao shook her head, that's why she was in a hurry to go back, she was not free all day today, she had to go back to find Teacher Mo now, he should have a way.
Physician Zheng became worried, he had also learned how to prevent and treat smallpox, and the Zheng family also had relevant prescriptions in their collection, but the effects were very mediocre.
He never had acne...
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Man, "Physician Zhou hasn't had acne, has he?"
Man Bao nodded sadly. She knew that acne was dangerous, but she had never had it. Keke said before that she was lucky, otherwise she would have to buy a vaccine...
By the way, vaccines!
