Yuan Qiu took it in his hand and wiped it, and said in surprise: "It is indeed what I want. The craftsman hired by Chen Zhixian County is very good!"
Chen Zhixian nodded and said with a smile: "This craftsman was once a first-class craftsman in the palace. Later, he left the palace and returned to his hometown for some reasons. Because he had plenty of money, he stopped doing this business. If it weren't for my wife's family being related to him, , I still can’t please him.”
Yuan Qiu said: "No wonder the craftsmanship is so extraordinary. How many copper needles have been made in total?"
Chen Zhixian said: "We are still working on it. There are only seven or eight of them at the moment. I have brought them all." He took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened the top of the cloth to reveal the shining silver needle barrel inside.
Yuan Qiu's face was filled with joy: "Very good. With these seven or eight branches, we can save a lot of people for the time being."
She raised her head and looked at Chen Zhixian, and said: "I have one more thing to trouble Chen Zhixian. Nowadays, evil diseases are rampant outside Pingtung City. I am afraid it will be powerless to rely on me alone. I also ask Chen Zhixian to invite some doctors to join me." Treating refugees means relieving their suffering as soon as possible and controlling the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible."
Chen Zhixian frowned and sighed: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. When the epidemic first broke out, I invited several doctors to go outside the city to treat the refugees. When they saw the disease, they all ran faster than rabbits. , I asked them, but they refused to say anything, and if I invited them again, they would just stay behind closed doors."
Yuan Qiu sighed and said: "This is also human nature. Who doesn't want to live a long life? Who is willing to associate with the plague?"
Zhu Yan took a silver needle tube from Magistrate Chen and said, "Teach me and I will go with you."
"No" "No"
Yuan Qiu and Chen Zhixian stopped it in unison, but Zhu Yan frowned: "Why not?"
Chen Zhixian knelt down in front of King Jing and said solemnly: "Your Highness King Jing, as King Jing and the general of the Northern Expedition, you are the foundation of our Xiliang Kingdom. You must not go to that evil and filthy place."
Yuan Qiu said: "You have more important things to do. Let me handle the plague issue. You go back to Beijing first and report to the emperor the matter of adjusting the military provisions and military accounts. You must not delay it any longer, otherwise With King Liang here, trouble will surely arise."
Zhu Yan waved his hand: "This matter is not urgent. If you can go to the place where the refugees are, I can go too."
Yuan Qiu knew what he was thinking and was moved in his heart, but he refused to let him take the risk. He added, "You don't have to worry about me. When Yuan Hao and I drank the spiritual spring water together, we were already invulnerable to all poisons." , I have nothing to do with this plague, you can return to Beijing with peace of mind and take care of the troop transfer matter first."
Just as Xia Yuanqiu knows his thoughts, he also knows Xia Yuanqiu's thoughts. If she doesn't want him to take risks, why doesn't he
Although he couldn't stop her progress, he wanted to be by her side, even if he could only stand quietly and watch her, and be with her, sharing the joys and sorrows.
"You don't need to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind."
Zhu Yan was determined to go, and Xing Ying should follow him. Xing Fang, who was deliberately left behind by Xia Yuanqiu, refused to stay as ordered and insisted on following them to the refugee gathering place outside Pingtung County.
Zhu Yan then sent another troops to the Lidong area to cremate all the unknown corpses along the way to prevent the plague from spreading further.
Xia Yuanqiu brought all the streptomycin to Pingtung County. The carriage did not drive into the county, but stopped directly at the refugee gathering place outside the county. The place was overflowing with stench, and the smell of human and animal feces was mixed with the smell. The stench was like a dead rat. In such an environment, even if there was no plague, other malignant diseases would definitely breed.
