I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man
Chapter 86: Blight
The summer of this year seemed to be particularly long and hot. It sent away the Beishuo ambassador, and it was already October. In previous years, the capital was very cool at this time, but now it is still floating with a hot air. The sun stove in the sky is generally waving light and heat.
In the Qianyuan Hall, the ice in the afternoon had not been broken, and Qin Nuo still felt dull.
On such days, even the news that came was disturbing.
The epidemic became epidemic in Beijing. Seven days ago, several families in the south of the city fell ill. After that, they were out of control. Now there are more than a thousand people who have fallen ill, and there is a panic among the people.
The root cause of this epidemic did not start in Beijing, but in Taizhou, Jiangnan.
There was an epidemic there a few months ago. After that, there were thousands of people who fell ill. Fortunately, the local officials were savvy and capable. They quickly sent people to close the most severe neighbourhoods. Out. Although the method is somewhat inhumane, it has managed to control the spread of the epidemic.
After more than a month, the epidemic situation in Taizhou has been greatly relieved. I thought things had passed like this. I did not expect that shortly afterwards, similar symptoms suddenly broke out in several states and counties in Jiangbei, and even spread to Beijing.
Those who fell ill had high fever, cough and palsy, frail people died in three or five days, and healthy people could not last long. Only a few strong people can survive it.
Qin Nuo held several congresses in succession to study countermeasures. The courtiers did not dare to slacken against such a major event of people's livelihood, and immediately organized capable officials to start rescue measures. Several severely diseased neighbourhoods have been blocked, but this still cannot suppress the spread of the epidemic.
The Taiji Hospital is working overtime to study prescriptions for treating the disease.
The price of medicine in Beijing has changed three times a day, and at the same time the price of rice noodles has begun to soar. The Ministry of Penalty severely investigated and dealt with several adulterers who pushed up prices before stabilizing the market.
Although the controls are strict, the people still suffer. In particular, the panic caused by the epidemic has caused many people to refuse to go out, and the stores have been closed one after another. The formerly lively streets are now populated by men.
Qin Nuo has no reservations. Although the court has a mature charter to deal with the disease, you don't have to hinder yourself. He was still deliberately trying to remember as much as possible what he knew in previous lives.
"The name given by the emperor to alcohol can really reduce the infection," said Mei Jingxi, who was sentenced to the left by the Taiyuan Hospital.
From the beginning of the epidemic, Qin Nuo immediately thought of alcohol disinfection.
Being an emperor today, he can mobilize resources hundreds of times larger than before. As a result of the order, special tools were set up in the workshop of the Ministry of Industry to start mass production.
At first, the courtiers also complained that the little emperor had to trouble everyone when the crowd was too busy, although the labor was mainly the Ministry of Industry. But soon they were dumbfounded.
Alcohol and masks alone made Tai Hospital amazing, greatly reducing the chance of infection.
We must know that in ancient times, the prevention and control of epidemic diseases mainly depended on traffic jams, that is, where the epidemic situation was serious, the city gates were closed directly, traffic was closed, and travel was stopped. Let the people inside die for themselves, wait for them to die, and the epidemic will pass completely before reopening. This method is extremely inhumane, but it can effectively reduce the spread of the disease. This simple and crude method is the most efficient at least until effective medicines come out.
In the face of an epidemic, without effective prevention and control measures, medical personnel will not be able to enter the hospital frequently for treatment, which will only lead to further expansion of the epidemic. After all, traditional methods such as simple towels and quicklime are not effective for disinfection. With the help of masks and alcohol, the safety of doctors and clerks has been greatly improved.
On several occasions, the ministers looked at Qin Nuo differently, at least two points more respectful than before.
Now in the Palace of Government, Qin Nuo is discussing with the ministers what to do next. Several hospital directors and judges of the Taiyuan Hospital are also there.
Despite all kinds of vigorous and popular measures, and Qin Nuo's little golden finger assistance, the epidemic is still expanding. The panic in Beijing is also spreading rapidly. Many families have moved to Zhuangzi outside the city to live. There are also some rich households who simply closed their doors and locked up their homes, and had enough food in their homes. They wanted to wait until this wave of epidemic passed.
"The emperor is worse than praying to worship the heavens." The suggestion was made by Zhao Xingde, a ritual minister.
During the epidemic, don't organize the rescue properly, but also make these strange feudal superstitions. Qin Nuo flatly refused, "It is a good policy for Anmin to mobilize the public."
I didn't expect Fan Wensheng to agree with this idea, and then persuaded: "The emperor, now the people's minds are chaotic, and the government and the panic are panic. This can reassure the people."
Qin Nuoluo thought for a moment, he understood the people of this era, especially the people, depended on this feudal superstition, but after thinking, he still refused: "Control the epidemic as soon as possible, you can stabilize the people's mind, why not Means? And if the epidemic continues after the burnt offering, isn't it compromising the majesty of the court? "
Everyone was helpless. After all, this was only one of the plans. The emperor was unwilling, and they did not insist anymore. Soon, I will continue to discuss the next plan.
However, what surprised Qin Nuo was that they gave up this kind of psychological control and counseling, and some people rushed to use it.
A mysterious religion gradually surfaced in the heart of Beijing.
At first Qin Nuo didn't take it as a thing. In this era, various folk religions and beliefs are like cattle hair. Although the imperial court talked about enlightening the place, it was not allowed to perform sacrifice and worship the **** of the wild, but the people could not forbid it at all. As long as no major incidents occur, one eye is closed.
However, the teaching of Jinyi has developed at a rate that makes everyone startled.
On this day, Qin Nuo took a few companions to perform Wutang activities. By the way, Qin Shao accidentally dropped a small bag from his waist when he punched.
He quickly bent over and picked it up into his arms. Qin Nuo and others still saw it.
Huo Chengguang laughed: "Which beauty wouldn't it be?"
Qin Shao's face flushed, explaining: "I'm not a flamboyant boy like Brother Huo. I can receive sachet pollen everywhere. It is the rune paper my mother asked me to get. Then, say that the epidemic is serious, and take this to drive away evil. "
Qin Nuo was surprised, "Is it a magic charm that I went to the temple for?"
There are also some concubines and concubines in the palace who believe in Buddhism. For this legal belief, the palace still allows it.
Qin Shao suddenly became tense, the emperor's words could not help but answer, but the origin of this bag is not appropriate. For a while, my face turned red.
Qin Nuo was surprised and simply reached out his hand.
Qin shook helplessly and had to honestly hand over the bag.
The bag is golden, with six small words "Extreme Master of Heaven" embroidered with black threads.
"Isn't this the God of Heaven leader the title of the leader of the Jin Yi religion that has become popular recently?"
Because of the panic among the people, some miscellaneous witches and witches ran out to search for money while chasing money. This Jinyi religion said that the punishment department is one of the hot religions in recent days, but Qin Nuo didn't take it as a thing. Unexpectedly, even a clan such as Qin Sha believed it.
"These evil ways have always been taken by gentlemen." Qin Nuo shook his head. He didn't want to be held accountable, and returned Qin Shao to his bag.
"Er, do n’t be angry with the emperor. This Jinyi religion is really well-informed. I heard that as long as you believe them, you will be free from disease. This Jinyi religion leader can reincarnate in ancient times and specialize in the disease." Qin Shouting whispered, while holding up the bag, quickly crammed into her arms.
"It's strange how strange powers can be." Qin Nuo pouted his lips, and he had great power. Did he wear it in Xiu Zhenwen?
"The Jinyi religion has been heard by the ministers. There are indeed some ways. It is said that many converts who converted to them were originally infected with the disease, and they are all well." Huo Chengguang added.
From what he said, Qin Nuo had to pay attention.
Huo Chengguang's news is very detailed: When the son of Xuanguo ’s government went out to send friends, he accidentally contracted the disease, and he invited the Master of Heaven to come in person. Hearing that the practice took a long time, he soon recovered. There is also a sister-in-law of the Southwest Hou, a little sister-in-law of the General Xiaoqi ... a list of seven or eight people in succession, all of whom are wealthy relatives in Beijing and healed by the superb Jinyi master.
If it is only one or two, Qin Nuo also suspects that someone has colluded with the Jinyijiao to do a play, but it is absolutely impossible to buy so many nobles in Beijing.
"I've also heard that my mother went to seek some peace symbols the day before yesterday, and let me take them with me." Jiang Xun laughed, "I'm just impatient with these jingle pendants and secretly rip."
Yanwutang's class hastily ended and returned to the Palace of Government. Qin Nuo summoned several courtiers to inquire about the Jinyi religion.
The panic threat of the epidemic provided fertile ground for religion.
Recently, there are several churches that have emerged near the capital. Most of them have been quietly popular in the past, but soon after, most of them disappeared. The faith of the entire capital was quickly swallowed up by this religion.
Many aristocratic families believe this. In fact, the fastest spread is still among the wealthy nobles. Qin Nuo carefully read the information sent.
This Jinyi religion was first spread in Dongguifang. The leader seems to be some medical person, and he has cured some patients with the disease through his practice. He gradually became famous and was invited by a nobleman to heal his young son. Originally, I only held the attitude of a dead horse to be a live horse doctor, but I did not expect it to be effective. The little boy had been diagnosed by the medical doctor and had no effect. He could not imagine that the master of the golden clothing had done a ritual and drank a glass of rune water, but he recovered in two or three days.
Immediately, the reputation of the Jin Yijiao was immediately spread out, many nobles and wealthy businessmen rushed to invite, and the power of the Jin Yijiao quickly expanded. This religion originally healed the ordinary people in the neighborhood, but after its reputation gained, the Lord of the Golden Clothes almost served noble officials and nobles, and each time they received huge donations of silver. Just because of its reputation, a sachet is worth hundreds of dollars, and countless people flock to it.
The details of the leader of the Jinyi religion have also been found out by the Ministry of Punishment. He was originally a temple wish in a city **** temple in the west of the city. He was lazy and talkative. In his thirties, he is still a bachelor. After the epidemic began, he suddenly claimed to have obtained three volumes of Jinshu in his sleep, and ordered him to save the world, and since then he founded the Jinyi religion, but in just a few days, he has such a situation.
After getting rich, the leader of the gold suit still doesn't change the nature of lazy and slippery. He has a lot of fish and meat every day, and he has connected more than a dozen beautiful women.
A liar who plunders people's wealth in the name of religion! It's just that there can be some means to reach so many people. Qin Nuo struck his forehead and looked up and asked, "What do you think?"
Huo Donglai said: "Weird and strange gods just stopped. When the epidemic broke out, they dared to soak up the hearts of the people in Beijing. They must be speculative. They should be punished as soon as possible to prevent the Jinyi education from becoming bigger."
Qin Nuo nodded. In the feudal dynasty, many civil chaos and even peasant uprisings first depended on religion to gather people's hearts, and then things started, such as the White Lotus religion that penetrated the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was very popular in the Qing Dynasty. It's also a good idea to hang it before its power has grown.
However, Ma Xingbang, the Ministry of Household Affairs, said, "This Jinyi religion has become a climate. If you rashly act, you will cause the people to be unstable. Now the capital is rampant because of the epidemic, and people ’s hearts are disturbed. If it worsens, it is afraid that there will be accidents. "It's better to wait for the epidemic to pass and deal with it."
This is considered from the perspective of riots.
The two sides held their own words, and soon they argued.
Ge Changhai sneered: "I heard that Master Ma's love is still healed by the gold suitor before. I must have seen this person's magical powers, so I'm afraid."
Ma Xingbang bowed to Qin Nuo: "The family ’s family had recently asked the Lord of the Golden Clothes to do a ritual, and asked the emperor to forgive him. According to what Chen saw, this person did have some sense of reason. The family's chamber was seriously ill, and the affair After that, it turned out strangely. "
This sentence says the point is up. If Jinyijiao didn't have a little skill, it wouldn't be possible to grow so fast.
In Qin Nuo's opinion, most of the masters of Jinyi mastered some kind of cure for the epidemic. Now the research on the epidemic is still stagnant. If you know how to cure the epidemic and mass production, it can definitely be done. Benefit the people.
After making up his mind, Qin Nuo commanded: "When the people's mind is unstable, they will act strangely and will not rest. They will be taken by the Ministry of Penalty, but there is no need to be embarrassed. Send someone to ask him carefully about the healing process and methods . "
