Xiao Cao said so, so naturally the others could not say anything more. This princess had come all the way for them, and they were grateful. They wanted to build a shrine for her and prayed to God every day, hoping that she would live a hundred years. Naturally, they did not want to embarrass her. To put it bluntly, she was a princess, so precious. Even if all the people in Pushan County died, it would have nothing to do with her, and no one would say anything. But she came, to this dangerous place.
It brought hope and changed the fate of the entire Pushan County.
However, just as Xiaocao thought, there are many smart people in the world, and this old man is one of the susceptible people. And there are indeed wise and rational old people who come here. After Xiaocao's "reminder", his mind gradually becomes active. Of course, there is nothing to do now. I have to wait until the disease is cured and I leave the county government.
Everything was going on in an orderly and busy manner. Xiao Cao didn't have to worry about the various materials. However, in the imperial city thousands of miles away, the Minister of Revenue was almost pulling his beard and hair off the ground. How did the various materials come from? Of course, they were bought with money. At the beginning, some merchants donated, which was not enough, but it was impossible to ask them to donate all the time. This would be like spending money like water. How could the Minister of Revenue not be anxious
Fortunately, the treasury of Qi Dynasty is well-stocked, but if such things happen a few more times... it is best not to happen again. However, even in the past, when encountering such disasters, people would not spend money like this. Alas, Princess Anguo, thinking about her plans and ambitions again, she felt bald again. However, as long as you are not blind, you will know that it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. The emperor is there to keep an eye on it. The most important thing is that Qi Dynasty now has the ability to realize it.
That would be fine, the key is that there is that kid, the son of Marquis Pingyang, who used to be in the "Waste Department" and I thought he was a real waste. But this time he took the initiative to ask for the emperor's order and got the job, and he actually did it so well. If that were all, we could probably say that the young are formidable and Marquis Pingyang is blind, and has delayed for so many years in vain. The problem is that his job this time is closely linked to the Ministry of Revenue, and he is so ruthless when he asks for money. That would be fine, he can still send back all kinds of credentials, with reasons and evidence. The actual price is at least 20% to 30% cheaper than the market price. If it was more expensive, it would be fine, but it is obviously cheap, so why are you holding him back and not paying him
What is even more infuriating is that if the money is not paid slowly, the "complaint" will be presented to the emperor. He is still a child who is still wet behind the ears. If there is no complaint, it can only be paid quickly.
Since it was inconvenient to transport the volume from the imperial city, people could just take the voucher and get it from the local warehouse.
—Because of this sudden move, he actually encountered a problem with the treasury silver in a certain place. Of course, this is another matter. Once it is reported to Emperor Xuanren, he will send someone to deal with it. Wei Tingyu will not be distracted by such things.
In short, Prince Wei now always puts his wife's safety first and meets her needs. He cannot let her worry about other things while she is busy taking care of patients, so everything else has to be put aside.
After Xiaocao and his team arrived in Pushan County, the results they achieved were undoubtedly remarkable. However, this achievement was overshadowed one day because there were patients with the epidemic among the medical staff. And not just one or two, but five or six of them in just one or two days.
All the doctors came voluntarily, while others came for other reasons. But no matter what, they could not be completely indifferent when facing life-threatening situations. It would be fine if they had come into contact with patients before. The problem was that after they arrived, they all took protective clothing seriously. No matter how hot it was, even if their skin was affected, they never took it off when they shouldn't. Protective clothing does have a role, but it seems that we were too relieved too early. Facts have proved that the role of protective clothing is not absolute.
Therefore, some people showed their fear and even started to back down.
Xiao Cao frowned slightly. It was normal for people to cherish their lives. It was not shameful to be afraid of death. Even if someone wanted to leave, she would never stop them. After all, they were not sold to her. They had personal freedom. "You can leave if you want to. I am very grateful that you can come here. No matter why you come, you will get what you deserve. However, you need to stay alone outside Pushan County for a few days to make sure you are not infected with the disease before you leave, so as not to bring the disease with you."
In the current situation, as long as I don’t walk too much at once, even if I’m still busy, I won’t be as restless as I was in the beginning.
"Your Highness, what you said is true. Except for the first two days, there was really no way. After that, no one died. Even if we are doctors, we are still human beings. Even if we are infected with the disease, we just take medicine like everyone else. As long as we are not unable to get up, we will still do what we should do. It's nothing great."
Someone said so, and many people echoed it.
Xiao Cao also smiled a little, but it was blocked from others. "Thank you, but I still say the same thing, those who want to leave can leave, everyone's life is not life, I understand, it doesn't matter, don't worry too much."
Having said that, I have put that thought aside for a while now. Apart from anything else, one thing is real: this plague was brought under control in time and there was no widespread suffering. In fact, if there had not been so many patients with the same symptoms in the government office, and if there had not been a considerable death toll in the early days, otherwise, I am afraid no one would have thought that the plague was rampant in Pushan County.
How terrible is the plague? Even if you have not seen it with your own eyes, you should have heard about it. In fact, as doctors, many of them have seen it. Plague can occur not only after a pure plague, but also after disasters such as floods and earthquakes. There were big pits with people in them. Some were dead, and some were still alive. They were lying in the pile of corpses, their hands, feet and eyeballs were still moving, as if they were asking for help. The scene was horrifying.
Nowadays, there is a constant supply of medicines, and for ordinary people, it can even be considered that they have good food and shelter. Not to mention despair and lifelessness, they can even find something to do for themselves. If it weren't for the frequent sightings of doctors in "strange costumes", who would have thought that these people were infected with the epidemic
I hadn't thought about it carefully before, but now that I think about it, the way I look at Xiaocao is wrong. There is a little more respect. This is all because Princess Anguo handled everything properly and has great medical skills. The medicine she prescribed has a very good effect.
They also heard some other news from the people coming from the imperial city, many of which were of great benefit to those who studied medicine. Who wouldn't want to improve their medical skills? Who wouldn't want to have a better status and be respected? Who wouldn't want to be associated with the government and have an extra layer of protection
Although it seems to be just a beginning and still only in the imperial city, one day it will reach other places and benefit them.
All these were brought by Princess Anguo. Although she was only a princess of a different surname, she had royal status, had saved the emperor's life, and was deeply favored by the emperor. But for a girl like her, it was all she deserved, wasn't it
Without the threat of death, the inner panic naturally subsided a lot, and no one wanted to leave anymore.
Xiaocao will definitely not drive away those who voluntarily stay, and of course there will be no grudges in the heart, there is really no need to do so.
"Thank you all. I will remember all your achievements. When we get to the Imperial City, I will report them to my father one by one and ask for your credit. Apart from anything else, if a monument of merit is erected in Pushan County in the future, your names will definitely be listed on it."
At this moment, it can be said that Xiaocao has shown some scheming, or that she is deliberately trying to win people's hearts. However, she also knows that some people may pursue interests, but at present, more people are actually pursuing fame. After all, a good reputation can sometimes bring them greater benefits. There are many benefits that cannot be bought with money.
"Thank you, Princess."
"You're welcome. This is what you deserve. Well, let's get to work and try to defeat this disease as soon as possible."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, and then went to work in high spirits.
Therefore, the reward mechanism is a good means of encouraging people everywhere.
However, a little later, some people with slightly different symptoms were found among the patients. They did not attract attention at first. Xiaocao certainly did not estimate that there would be so many people, and he did not discover it at the first time. It was only later, because some of the medicines were not suitable for their symptoms, they did not get better after taking the medicine, but got worse instead. The cause could not be found, so Xiaocao was found.
As soon as Xiaocao heard the situation, she felt something was wrong, so she rushed over immediately. After a careful diagnosis and treatment, and questioning the patient and the doctor who was originally in charge, Xiaocao could almost conclude that the virus had mutated, and the mutated virus would usually be more brutal. If it couldn't be controlled... Xiaocao didn't think much about it, "I'll prescribe new medicine, notify everyone, and re-examine all the patients. If you find any abnormalities, report them to me."
After spending these days together, I have almost figured out what Xiaocao's various states mean. Now seeing her serious expression, I know that things may have changed. I can't help but feel a little nervous and dare not neglect it.
After checking all of them, it was found that nearly one in ten people had more or less abnormal symptoms, and there were five or six types of abnormal symptoms. Most of the variations were still effective with the previous prescriptions, but one or two were not. One was quite tricky, and even with targeted medication, the disease recurred. This made people who were originally optimistic feel heavy-hearted for a while.
Xiao Cao placed these few people in separate places, took over personally, and then constantly adjusted the prescriptions, day and night, and had not slept for at least two nights. She was the backbone of everyone, because once immersed in something, it is easy to ignore the outside world, so she didn't notice the emotional changes of everyone for a while. However, no one disturbed her at this time, with a trust that they themselves did not realize, believing that if she could stabilize the epidemic once, she could stabilize it the second time, the third time...
On the fourth day, the person whose condition had been recurring finally stabilized, and recovered much faster than the others. This situation made many people cheer. They said that Her Royal Highness the Princess could definitely do it, and she would definitely be able to turn the situation around. The respect they received had unknowingly climbed to an unimaginable height.
Seeing her fatigue, everyone advised her to rest quickly.
Xiao Cao nodded, "How are the others doing these days?"
"Don't worry, Princess. Everything is fine. Many people have recovered. You should go and rest. Leave the rest to us. If there is anything we cannot handle, we will call you."
Xiaocao didn't say anything more. She really needed a good rest. She returned to her residence, washed up, and went to bed. She soon fell asleep. No one disturbed her and she slept for almost six hours before waking up. Well, she felt refreshed again.
After washing and eating, he returned to the county government office. Although there were still patients with the epidemic being sent in, there were more being sent out.
All the doctors were divided into groups, each with a team leader. Xiaocao called them over, inquired about the situation carefully, and then went to see a few patients with more serious conditions. The situation was under control.
Fan Wuguo came over quickly. Xiaocao couldn't help but frowned, "Wuguo, why are you coming in? Didn't I tell you that you can't come in without strict protection? Get out now."
"Sister, I have something to do." His eyes and brows were solemn.
Xiao Cao felt something was wrong and quickly called him out to talk.
