In the city, two or three blocks away from the government office, there is a Baihualou. Although the name is a bit vulgar, it used to be the famous Yafang Winery in Chunan Mansion. , brightly lit, and people talk about it because of a jar of wine called Baihuaxiang.
The fragrance of hundreds of flowers is mellow and fragrant, and tastes like a hundred flowers blooming together. The wine is paired with good music, which is extremely colorful and sweet. I don’t know how many people come here for it. It is already a major feature of Chunan Mansion. It's just that all businesses are dying now, and even Boss Liu of Baihualou died of the plague a while ago. People can't help but sigh that the fragrance of flowers is hard to continue.
This Liu family was originally a single heir for four generations, and now Boss Liu has only one young boy who can't speak clearly. Orphaned and widowed, it was difficult to make ends meet, and finally had to sell the property to make ends meet.
Now that the south is in an epidemic, they can't even take care of eating and drinking, let alone buying this huge restaurant. Those who still buy houses and real estate at this time are either businessmen with great strategies, or they are fools who don't understand anything. Just when others thought that the Baihua Building was about to fall into the hands of Mrs. Liu, there was a handsome young man who bought the Baihua Building on the spot with real gold and silver.
Since then, Baihualou has changed its name and changed its owner, and it was changed to Sanyulou amidst everyone's dumbfounded.
The plaque is a hastily written wooden plaque without any carvings. It is so simple and shabby, but the handwriting on it is strong, elegant and brilliant. It is really a rare and good calligraphy. It is a bit quaint to hang in front of the building. Atmospheric feeling. It's just that the newly hired guys in this building are a bit ridiculous, they are all beggars, and there are many young women who lost their relatives in the epidemic, people really don't understand what the little boss of this house is going to do .
As long as these beggars are given a steamed bun, they can have an endless amount of strength. They have dismantled the tables and chairs in the original restaurant according to the instructions. The simple wooden bed made the building clank and clang for a while, making it very lively. The women are responsible for tidying up the room, dividing some rooms into two halves, covering the middle with screens or curtains, and placing a wooden bed, a small table, and two small stools in the left and right half of the room. Everything was wiped clean, and lime powder was sprinkled in the corner of the room as ordered by the little boss.
Several medical officials who were called to help murmured: "What did he say he wants to change this place into? A medical center? How can the medical center use so many floors! Mr. Chen is probably confused, but he asked such a kid to go everywhere Call us."
Another person also complained: "Why is he so disobedient every time? Other colleagues have set up medical sheds everywhere, but he is the only one who is so flamboyant that he bought a restaurant as a medical clinic! I am afraid that he is a cook in Beijing." I'm used to it, I don't do my job properly, and I'm still tainted with the smell of copper, and I still don't forget to make money, and I don't know if the money I make is enough for him to go down and buy himself a couple of yin virtues."
Everyone laughed: "It's also worthy of calling 'Boss Yu'."
The laughter continued, and someone behind him said seriously: "Who taught you to judge people behind your back?! You have been practicing medicine for ten years, and you claim to be the master of the country. How can you know what is the epidemic here?"
The medical officials suddenly turned their heads and saw that it was Chen Yang who appeared behind him at some unknown time, and all of them shrank their necks like quails. Even though they had some thoughts in their hearts, they all looked at each other for fear of being punished by Mr. Chen, and dared not speak out. No one answered for a long time.
After a while, a young medical official came over with a medicine basket in his hand, and replied respectfully: "During this journey, the students saw patients who became ill in a hurry, vomited and diarrhoea, their eyes were sunken and their flesh was shattered, their body was shriveled and their limbs were cold. Abdominal pain and constriction, and severe cases can cause death in an instant. The disease begins with water dampness and disorder in the intestines and stomach. According to the students... it is cholera."
This doctor's name is You Qingbai, he has a low family background, he is usually unknown and reticent, he is only a small official in charge of miscellaneous affairs in the medical bureau in the Imperial Medical Department, and is also in charge of the diagnosis and treatment of the second-class eunuchs in the palace. People have never put him in their eyes, who would have thought that he would come out to show off at this time.
Chen Yang took a look at him, and it took him a while to remember the name of this person, so he asked: "Then, do you know which medical center has the least casualties since the outbreak of the epidemic in central Beijing?"
You Qingbai said: "It's the Sanyu Building."
"That's right!" Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction, and said, looking at the other medical staff, "I have asked people to visit and inspect all the eight major medical centers and ten medical halls in central Beijing. It is this Boss Yu who you call 'not doing business properly', who has treated countless patients with countless ingenious methods! If you have half a cent of talent, I, Mr. Chen, will burn incense for the Imperial Physician!"
Chen Yang flicked his sleeves and raised his eyebrows: "If you have the ability like him, you don't have to submit to the control—why are you still in a daze, and you have time to talk sarcasticly, why don't you go and do more work!"
The medical officials were busy making bows and scattered like birds and beasts.
You Qingbai was neither arrogant nor impetuous, he also saluted Chen Yang, picked up the medicine basket and retreated.
"Ah!" After dismissing the group of medical officials, Chen Yang raised his head and saw the young man sitting on the highest place leaning on the railing, feeling a little confused in his heart.
Yesterday, the boy proposed to transform the Baihua Building into a medical clinic, and the imperial medical department will uniformly administer the doctors and medical stones in the city. If possible, even the drinking water will be distributed by the government... For example, he also proposed poisonous gas and disinfection. , It is really a saying that Chen Yang has never heard of in his decades of practice.
There are too many weird things in this young man's head. People say that he is so wise and close to a monster, but he is really not like a mortal thing, and even his medical skills are beyond human comprehension. If Chen Yang hadn't witnessed him with extremely treacherous methods After healed the young master of the Min family who was undoubtedly going to die, he saw at a glance the illness of Grand Master Wen's grandson. He is a boy with real talents and practical learning.

But Yu Jinnian didn't know that there were so many people waiting to see his abilities. He was extremely calm. He was sitting quietly by the window, leaning against the wooden frame, holding a white porcelain cup in his hand, half of his body was covered with a layer of snow white. In bright sunlight. The distance was desolate and chaotic, his eyes followed a wild dog robbing people for food and turned to an old woman with a sallow complexion, and suddenly heard a sigh behind him.
He turned his head and saw that it was Ji Hong who had entered the room.
Seeing him sitting on the window frame alone and thinking, Ji Hong suddenly said helplessly: "What are you doing sitting so high? It makes it easier for me to find you."
Yu Jinnian lowered his eyes and saw that there was no tea or wine but a porcelain cup filled with a bowl of white water. The sunlight poured into the water, causing tiny ripples: "Ah Hong, look, no matter how chaotic the world is, people How miserable the cry and mourning, the sun is always so bright and so hot."
Ji Hong smiled, and carefully pushed him back into the window, feeling the fine sweat oozing from his temples: "How can I make such a sigh."
"It's nothing, I just saw countless life and death along the way, and suddenly realized the insignificance of human beings." Yu Jinnian's eyes reflected the water waves in the white porcelain cup, which seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of silver flakes. The light was abnormal, and he straightened up suddenly With his back on his back, he reached out and lifted the empty white porcelain cup to the sunlight, then retracted it for a while and closed the lid, and handed it to Ji Hong mysteriously, slightly raised his chin and said, "This is for you."
When I took it, I felt the cup was warm, and I didn't know whether it was warmed by the young man's hand or the sun. Ji Hong didn't understand what he meant, he turned the cup around and saw nothing unusual, he couldn't help wondering, "What did you give me?"
"A bowl of sunshine." Yu Jinnian jumped off the window sill, and first moved close to touch the thin scar under Ji Hong's eyes. Seeing that it was recovering well, he swept his clothes, narrowed his crescent-like eyes, and smiled at him Said, "Although the epidemic is rampant now, the sun is the purest. Keep a bowl today, and open the lid on a cold day, and you will have the sun for the whole winter!"
Hiding a bowl of sunshine
Ji Hong looked at the small cup held in his palm, and then at him. Although this statement is absurd, it is a bit more romantic. He suddenly laughed, shook his head and took Yu Jinnian in, kissed his hair lightly and said, "This ray of sunshine is not half as good as yours, as long as you have this little sun by your side, winter will be like thick spring and midsummer It's generally warm. Ji is lucky to have you alone, this life is enough, why hide this daylight."
Yu Jinnian took advantage of his chest and drilled into his chest, but he refused to accept it: "Don't think that I won't hold grudges if you say a few sweet words. I'm just an adult who doesn't remember villains. You broke your promise and became fat, and you didn't write to me. I will put it on the account for now, and I will settle it with you later!"
"Okay, okay, thank you, Master Yu, for your kindness, and Ji will let you go." Ji Hong smiled, "Okay, I came up to call you, but I talked too much in a while. Go down, Doctor Chen is already waiting you."
Yu Jinnian nodded, straightened his clothes, and followed him downstairs.
Many doctors and doctors gathered in the hall, Duan Ming led people to invite them one by one, some are barefoot doctors, some are apprentices sent by various medical centers to serve as servants, and there are even monks, doctors and Taoist priests from Taoist temples , were originally scattered in various parts of the city, and they each went for treatment without interfering with each other, but now they are suddenly invited to this "Sanyu Building", most of them are at a loss and don't know why.
Those medical officials in the Imperial Medical Department were originally from aristocratic families, and they were arrogant, and they looked impatient. They didn't pay attention to these wandering doctors, and they just gathered around and talked on their own.
Chen Yang and the young man nodded their heads, cleared their throats, and said to everyone: "I think you should know the seriousness of this epidemic in your heart. Today, the Imperial Physician has invited everyone here for no other reason than to discuss the treatment of the epidemic. Fa. Now countless people have died of illness in the city, and the number of deaths and injuries in the surrounding counties is unknown, so that the sick are in agony, and the hearts of relatives are heartbroken. You are all well-known apricot forest masters, I wonder if there is any good remedy for this epidemic?"
The voices of the people talking gradually subsided, and they shifted their positions and waited and watched.
A middle-aged man got up and sighed: "Throughout the ages, every major epidemic will cause countless deaths and injuries. Since the establishment of our Great Xia Dynasty, there has never been such an evil epidemic. Even in medical classics, the records of this epidemic are only Only two or three times, tens of thousands of people died, and the method of treatment is even more unclear... We can only diagnose and treat based on evidence."
Everyone nodded and said yes, and sighed from time to time.
You Qingbai said: "It is said that there are many survivors in the Sanyu Building in Beijing, and now Mr. has opened the Sanyu Building to the South of Chu... But what panacea does Mr. Yu have for the epidemic?"
"The epidemic is merciless, what kind of panacea can I have?" Yu Jinnian shook his head, "I just know some first aid and prevention techniques, and adapt to the situation."
You Qingbai's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he continued to ask: "Please enlighten me, sir."
Yu Jinnian said: "Then I will say it directly. This disease is indeed a rare epidemic in a century, and it is easy to prevent but difficult to cure. The word "prevention" must be implemented in every household, every family, and every person. On the head, and under the imperial doctor's office, he sent medical apprentices and drug boys to supervise every medical center, medical hall, even restaurant and tavern, and posted notices in every street corner, and ordered people to preach every day, no matter how troublesome it was , It takes a lot of trouble, and this matter must be strictly implemented. Otherwise, the epidemic will spread, and more than half of the cities in the north and south will be killed or injured."
A gray-haired old doctor stroked his long beard and asked, "It's easy to say, Mr. Xiao, but the plague is invisible and colorless, and the poison of cholera is born of summer heat and dampness, without a trace. The patient's confidant dies." Pain, spitting and spitting, or even muscle cramps, and death in the abdomen. Dare I ask this little gentleman, how to prevent it?"
At this time, doctors still believed that all diseases were caused by the entry of turbid qi into the body. This kind of argument was not inappropriate in terms of medical theory, but it was limited by the times, and there were still some deficiencies in terms of pathogenesis.
Yu Jinnian explained: "The turbidity of the epidemic is not air at all, but water. Throughout the ages, whenever there is a major flood, there must be a major epidemic, which means that the source of the epidemic is the sewage from the flood. The turbid water is used by the people. The poison in the food and water enters the body through this, causing diarrhea and vomiting. Without treatment, these wastes are released into the fields and rivers at will, and the epidemic poison will contaminate the melons, fruits and vegetables in the fields, and infect more people. Or, if this filth is inadvertently touched by other people and ingested indirectly, it will also lead to infection."
It sounded quite reasonable, Doctor Chen asked: "Then according to Mr. Xiao, what should we do?"
"The most urgent task is to preach and tell everyone not to eat raw water, not to eat undercooked fruits and vegetables, to wash hands before meals and after defecation, and to report the truth to anyone who is sick at home so that they can be diagnosed and treated separately. All doctors in the city The church should not refuse medical treatment on the grounds of epidemic disease, and should not allow any victims who may be sick to walk around in the city at will, let alone dump waste at will. At the same time, the overly crude medical sheds should be demolished, and the patients among them should be moved here, and the people in the city Add clean water distribution points."
Someone was the first to disagree: "How can you accommodate so many patients in this building?"
Yu Jinnian said: "If one building can't accommodate more than three, then we'll have two; if two are not enough, then we'll have three! The disease can only be controlled if all the patients are under our control. You are discussing whether this method is feasible, but I want to inform you that starting tomorrow, I will start receiving medical treatment in the third building. All patients can only leave my building from the day they move in, until they recover, and until my building is full. So far. If there is anyone among you who believes in Yu and is willing to stay, Yu will naturally welcome him, and if you have doubts about Yu's diagnosis and treatment method, you can leave."
"this… "
Yu Jinnian: "I know that you gentlemen have different medical lines, and the treatment methods are naturally different, but as long as there is a cure, Yu will not interfere. There is only one thing, everyone in my building must follow my rules."
"In my building, including the other rooms in the backyard, there are now a total of 42 rooms. The light ones share one room, and the severe ones room alone. The total number of patients can accommodate more than 60. There are two nurses for every five rooms, and they are responsible for daily patients. Every three rooms have an attending doctor who is fully responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of patients."
"..." Everyone was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to say for a while.
From what he said, it seems that the patient is going to live in this building until he recovers
Yu Jinnian ignored their surprise and continued to state: "All the doctors and nurses work in two shifts, with 12 hours day and night shifts. The shifts are handed over at Chen hour and You hour every day, so that the on-duty staff can understand the patient's condition that day or night. ; Sishi and Xushi are under the leadership of Master Chen, the Imperial Physician, to conduct ward rounds. Every ten days, all the doctors in the building participate in a disease summary meeting to analyze the current epidemic situation and formulate the next direction of diagnosis and treatment. In addition... "
He turned around, as if he was looking for something, Ji Hong was already a step ahead, and handed him a notebook made of thin wood and paper, Yu Jinnian smiled at him, took the things and showed them to everyone, speaking loudly Said: "This is a medical record book, each patient has a book, and the doctors on duty will record, what medicine, what acupuncture, how the condition changes, everything needs to be recorded one by one until the patient dies or Healed and left, and this medical record was sealed and archived for later viewing of the summary.”
Speaking of this, even the well-informed Imperial Physician Chen was dumbfounded. It is not difficult to record the medical records. To ensure safety, this is how the palace does it. It is just one volume for each person and a daily record. It seems too cumbersome, and the nobles in the palace have not yet achieved this level. As for the twice-daily "ward rounds" and the "nurse" equipped in each room, they are even more unheard of and very novel.
But if this method is feasible, then after the epidemic is eradicated, these case reports that record a large number of medical cases will be a valuable asset for future generations of doctors. If there is another epidemic in future generations, there will be cases to follow, cases to follow, laws to follow, and lessons to avoid. This is indeed a great thing with infinite merit!
It was difficult for Chen Yang to evaluate whether what the young man said was right or wrong for a moment, after all, he was the first person to do so throughout the ages. He turned his head to look at Ji Hong, only to see that Master Ji was calm and composed, his eyes were full of appreciation, as if he had long been accustomed to the young man's surprising remarks.
Yu Jinnian put away the medical record book, and said slowly: "I know that you have doubts about what I said, but special methods must be implemented in special occasions. This is just the way things are done in my building. But please bear in mind that the source of this disease is It is the plague water and the filth spewed by the sick. Remember this, the number of sick people in the city will drop by at least 20%. My lords and gentlemen, saving others is noble, but self-denial is stupid. Whether you come to my building or not Please help me, I hope you all must protect yourself during the diagnosis and treatment."
Duan Ming held up the name book and stepped forward, "Is there anyone willing to join?"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and don't make a sound.
At this time, the carved main entrance of the third floor was pushed open, and three men wearing black scarves and bamboo hats walked in. They couldn't see their faces clearly, but they could be vaguely recognized as an old man and three young men. A medicine box, tied in a single bun, followed behind the elder. As for the young man next to him, his waist is full of gold and jade, which is full of wealth and nobility.
The old man stepped in, clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, okay, okay!"
Yu Jinnian stared at the ink-colored and black-painted medicine box, suddenly let out a bewilderment, opened his mouth, and said in surprise, "Old Mr. Luo, why—"
Before he could finish speaking, the visitor had already laughed, walked towards Duan Ming who was holding the name book, signed his name casually, and muttered: "Mr. Yu Xiao is still so handsome! I don't know Xiao Is there any room for old people in these three floors, sir?"
The person who spoke was not the famous doctor Luo Qian in Xin'an County who had been in contact with Yu Jinnian for many years, Mr. Luo; in this way, the one carrying the medicine box must be his little medicine boy Chen Li!
So the other young man is...
The young man didn't hear them greeting each other, but just looked around, as if he was looking for someone. He counted the heads of all the people in the room one by one, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see the most, so he took it off immediately angrily. Pulling off the bamboo hat, he pulled down the scarf, revealing an arrogant and domineering young face.
His pair of cute almond eyes widened, staring at Yu Jinnian angrily, and asked, "Yu Jinnian! Where's our stone?!"
Yu Jinnian: "!!"
