Yang Heshu watched them leave with a smile, turned his head and said to Man Bao, "I will ask Wan Tian to contact each family. None of the cows brought back by your fourth brother have been included in the list. It is quite easy to kill, and this is Xiazhou."
It is said that there is no shortage of cattle in Xiazhou, it is true that there is no shortage of cattle.
One-third of Xiazhou is nomadic, and there are also horse farms of the imperial court and various families, so the restrictions on cattle are not as strict as those in Guan.
However, at this time, people inside the city couldn't get out, and people outside the city were trying their best to avoid the city, so there was no shortage of food or anything.
After all, when the incident happened, the autumn harvest had already ended. Not only did the families have food in stock, but the yamen also had a lot of taxed food. A large part of the reason for the increase in food prices now is that people are panicking, and they don’t know when the epidemic will end.
But vegetables and meat are really lacking.
So don't look at Zhou Zhou Lang has a lot of cattle, but Xiazhou City can still eat, not to mention the ordinary people in the city, even those rich and noble families can take a lot.
He also asked Wan Tian to give a pricing suggestion, don't kill them all at once, kill one head a day, or kill one head every other day, the price should be as high as possible.
Those who can still afford meat at this time are basically big households, who don't care about the tens of pennies that are expensive.
Didn't you see that the food has gone up
This is only two months after the end of the autumn harvest.
Yang Heshu went in and took a look at Cui Shi before leaving. He still had a lot of things to do.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang started to take care of the affairs in the yard. Through the management of this yard, he knew the cloth inventory in Xiazhou City and the general situation of each cloth shop;
Knowing the current grain price and general storage situation of Xiazhou City;
I also learned how Yang Heshu fought wits and courage with the wealthy and ordinary people in Xiazhou.
The existence of these three yards and six of the best doctors in Xiazhou is a step backward for Yang Heshu, and the medical shed located in the city that accommodates most of the patients is a step backward for the local gentry in Xiazhou.
Through these account books, Bai Shan arranged little by little the basic necessities of the patients and servants in the yard, and learned about it.
Only then did Bai Erlang arrange the dishes to be eaten in the east courtyard today, and when he turned around and saw Bai Shan was still flipping through the thick roster, he said with a headache: "What are you doing with this?"
"Look at the people from Xiazhou City who live in this yard, and also look at who has lived in this yard before. Are they dead now, or have they left alive?"
Bai Erlang felt gloomy when he heard it, and asked, "Why are you looking at this?"
Bai Shandao: "Didn't you follow along when someone rushed to the gate in the south of the city yesterday?"
"Yeah, didn't you get suppressed?" Bai Erlang was confused, "The people who rushed through the customs are ordinary people, what does it have to do with the people living in this courtyard?"
Bai Shan shook his head, "I'm a little puzzled."
"where?"
Bai Shandao: "Now there is food in Xiazhou City, and although there is little medicine, the patients in the medical shed can still be rehabilitated. In the city, no matter how poor a person has smallpox, even a beggar on the street, as long as he bears the burden Even pox can live in a medical shed, why did they rush to the hospital?"
"You also said that medicine is not enough..."
"It's not enough, but is it there?" Bai Shandao: "Not necessarily after leaving the city, medicines outside the city have to be bought, do they have enough money? Will the doctors outside the city treat them? Xiazhou City Will the city outside let them in?"
"Even if they are ordinary people and not very smart, they are not stupid when it comes to this kind of thing, not to mention people love their hometown, especially these people who don't have the capital to leave their hometown, they will not leave unless it is absolutely necessary. Bai Shan: "So why did they break through?"
"That is… "
"Someone provoked, but I think it's more like someone appointed," Bai Shandao: "Going out of the city means more harm than good for ordinary people, but not for some people. Leaving Xiazhou City, they have enough money , What kind of medicinal materials and doctors can't find it?"
Bai Erlang's face darkened, and he said angrily: "The six best doctors have already been given to them, what else are they not satisfied with?"
"Because there are too many patients and too many people who died." Bai Shan opened the booklet, clicked on the names on the page and said: "There is no statistics yet, but I took a rough look. From the back of the city to now, there are twenty-eight people who died. This is still the No. 1 hospital, and the symptoms were mild when they were sent, and the other two hospitals may be more serious."
Bai Shan sighed and said, "Smallpox is a disease that can exterminate a family."
So don't blame them for panicking.
But outside Xiazhou City are tens of thousands of people from the Jin Dynasty. Once the smallpox flows south into the capital, or even goes to Jiangnan, Southwest and other places, it will be a purgatory on earth.
That's why they can't let people out.
Even the patients in the villages outside the city had to be treated.
Bai Shan let out a breath, raised his head and said to Bai Erlang: "Now we take over the other courtyard, be careful, don't let others design it."
Bai Erlang was taken aback, "Could it be that they want to make me suffer from smallpox as they did with my sister-in-law?"
Bai Shan threatened him, "It may not be impossible."
Bai Erlang's face turned pale, and he immediately said: "I will definitely not run around, touch things or eat things randomly..."
He said with a bitter face: "Isn't this job too difficult?"
Bai Shandao: "What kind of difficulty is it for us? Man Bao is the most difficult thing. There are too few doctors, and Xiazhou can't turn around at all. Judging from what we saw when we went to the medical shed yesterday, it was Imperial Doctor Lu and the others who brought doctors Help is not enough.”
This time on a business trip, Man Bao and the others had an imperial physician and two medical assistants.
Because it is very dangerous, so the Tai Hospital avoided the new medical assistants this year, and specially selected more experienced ones, and even specially selected six who have already married wives and had children...
Even though they are just medical assistants of the hospital, their level is only stronger than that of private doctors, and they can also be independent.
This morning Medical Assistant Lu still listened to Dr. Jin and Dr. Hua's doctor's orders. Now he has led someone to prescribe to see a doctor. Occasionally, Dr. Jin and Dr. Hua will come to him to discuss some illnesses.
Bai Shan pressed the booklet and made up his mind, and immediately said: "We should write a letter back, or recruit some doctors from the nearby counties, or send them from the capital. In short, Xiazhou still needs doctors."
Bai Erlang is quite familiar with the people from the Tai Hospital, so he made up his mind and said, "Can't the Tai Hospital recruit people?"
"What do you think of transferring people from the imperial medical office?"
Bai Erlang was startled, "This is not good, their medical skills are not up to scratch."
But Bai Shan said: "It's not much different from the doctors in the medical shed, and they can also help, such as following orders, giving acupuncture, taking medicine, treating acne, etc..."
Bai Erlang looked at him suspiciously, and asked suspiciously, "Are you Bai Shan?"
Bai Shan glanced at him, "Have you read too many ghost novels recently, what are you thinking, am I not Bai Shan?"
"Then why do you mention such a thing?" Bai Erlang said: "Smallpox is very dangerous, they are still so young, they will die, right?"
He made this proposal because he knew there was a high probability that no one would die, okay
Although the medicine in Man Bao's hand is only 89% effective in preventing the epidemic, it is enough. He believes that as long as he works hard enough, he can fill up the remaining 11%. It just costs more money and energy That's all.
