Even a proud man like Director Wang, the head of an aristocratic family who is unparalleled in the world in terms of experience, wisdom, vision, etc., became helpless in the face of this situation.

All he could do was order the matter to be dealt with according to routine. At this time when there were not many ways to deal with the epidemic, the so-called routine treatment was just to do everything according to fate and lock the patients in one place to wait for death. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, it was not uncommon to burn down a village.

The south is densely populated, and coupled with the great migration from the north in the past few years, countless northern people have flowed into the south, which has made the number of people in the south prosperous.

And this kind of local epidemic spreads too fast, and the death toll is also rising. If the statistics are really calculated, it will be an appalling number.

Sima Rui was very angry.

Whether it's the Great Flood in the World or the Great Epidemic in the South, these things are warnings and punishments issued by the "king's misconduct". Originally, Sima Rui was already ready to put all the blame for the Great Flood on the rebellious minister Guo Xi. He went there, but as a result, an epidemic broke out under his own rule before the payment documents from his side were sent out. On the contrary, there were no problems in the north governed by Guo Xi.

There were rumors in the market that Sima Rui's position was unfair, and his life experience was rumored. The Queen Mother had been angry several times because of this matter, and she wished that her father would be reborn to be a witness for her mother and son.

Now that the epidemic is rampant, he is even more speechless, but is the natural disaster his fault?

Of course not.

Is it necessary for him, a monarch, to issue an edict to punish himself?

How can I admit that it is not my fault!

Compared with the Jin Dynasty's somewhat resigned approach, Zhou State was much more active here.

However, some things were not moved for any reason. Even though entry and exit were strictly controlled and anti-epidemic drugs were distributed on a large scale, epidemic diseases began to appear in Yanzhou, which had the most borders with the Jin Dynasty.

Soon, even with the various prevention and control measures of the Medical Department and Zhou Guo's vigorous treatment of patients, the epidemic spread towards Sizhou.

Fortunately, due to the weather, winter gradually entered, and only Yanzhou and Sizhou in Zhou State were affected by the epidemic.

However, an epidemic occurred in some areas of Sizhou, but it almost caused chaos!

Some of those elderly people survived the unprecedented plague thirty years ago, and now those evil demons who kill without blood have come again, making them, the survivors, recall the horror of that time. .

Nine out of ten houses are empty, every household wears linen and mourning, there are more than a hundred houses in an alley, no one is spared, and every door has dozens of people, but no one is left alone. The horrific scenes from thirty years ago seem to be coming back to us.

Although You Hongyin cannot go to the epidemic area to investigate the specific situation in person, case studies sent by the Medical Department will go through his hands.

This epidemic is the most common 'typhoid fever'.

There are five types of typhoid fever: stroke, typhoid fever, damp-warm disease, febrile disease, and febrile disease.

This time it happened in late summer, after the floods, and it was humid and warm.

Damp-heat is caused by damp-heat pathogens entering through the mouth and nose, accumulating in the middle burner, blocking Qi movement, and causing diffuse fumigation of damp-heat. Epidemic diseases characterized by persistent fever, abdominal distension, greasy coating, slow pulse, indifferent expression, roseola or leukoplakia, lumps under the left hypochondriac, and leukopenia.

However, the pathology displayed by patients is different depending on the environment and the people they come into contact with.

In some places, the environment is clean and everyone is in good health. It may only be a few people who have fever, but it will not cause an explosive epidemic. However, if you come into contact with infected water that carries the source of the disease, or if the environment is not good and there are many mosquitoes, it is very likely to evolve into a malaria plague.

Such a large-scale epidemic outbreak cannot be just one situation. You Hongyin thought about it again and again and wrote down a few prescriptions in his memory. He didn't know whether this kind of prescription was useful for epidemic diseases. Most of these prescriptions came from other worlds and future generations. Now that he couldn't contact patients, he could only rely on guesswork to judge which prescriptions could be tried.

Fortunately, although the storage of medicinal materials is insufficient at this time, the mountains are rich in resources. It can still make up for the gap by mobilizing the people under the rule to collect medicines in the mountains after the autumn harvest. Because of the large number of literacy campaigns, the people can read and understand the medicines with medicines. The illustrated method of collecting and processing medicinal materials gives them another source of income before it’s too late and they won’t be reluctant.

Those medicinal materials that are not produced in the north will be imported from the Jin Dynasty. Although the Jin Dynasty court does not allow it, there is no way to stop the smuggling of such things at any time.

Probably because the Sizhou epidemic occurred not far from Luoyang, the local people believed that Zhou State would not abandon them. Although the treatment process was also isolated, these patients who were put together for isolation and treatment did not give up hope of living. , on the contrary, I feel that there are nurses who care about me, I have free soup to drink, I live in a bright, clean and comfortable house, and my daily meals are delicious and easy to digest. Even if I am not full, eating more is enough.

Days like this give people who have been devastated by war the illusion that even dying at this time is worth it.

The nurses and doctors of the Medical Department said that as long as they have hope of living and work hard to fight the disease, the court will not let anyone die.

There are indeed many people infected with the disease, but after a busy winter of the Medical Department and subsequent support departments, only 20% of the patients died!

This damp-heat disease is different from other plagues. The most common people are not the elderly, but young children and young people. Therefore, as long as the pharmacology such as anti-inflammatory and cooling can keep up, and the patient has a chance to survive, the mortality rate is not too high.

However, this survival rate surprised the people of Sizhou and Yanzhou. The bloodline of the family survived. Not only the wise Majesty You Hongyin, but also many doctors in the medical department were regarded as lifesavers. Even during the New Year, the peach charms that were once posted on the door were engraved with small portraits of doctors from various medical departments, indicating that the evil spirits of the disease would not be able to find the door in the coming year.

For the Jin Dynasty, an epidemic was a punishment from heaven for the king's misconduct, but for Zhou Chao, it was the best opportunity for the world to return to their hearts.

Not only the ordinary people benefited the most, but also the gentry and the Hu people.

You must know that in the face of epidemics, there is no difference in status, and the means by which the Zhou Kingdom dealt with the epidemic were enough to show how strong its ability was, and it also indirectly reflected the foresight and benevolence of the king of the Zhou Kingdom.

The nobles crave power, but that doesn't mean they are willing to follow a useless or cruel monarch. No matter how capable or powerful such a monarch is, it's useless. Everyone certainly doesn't want their boss to be a difficult person to serve.

The various policies implemented by the Zhou Kingdom have already shown that Guo Xi's way of governing is centered on "benevolence", so the nobles who originally retained some of their power have joined and started to prepare to operate in the Zhou Kingdom.

The Hu people left in Qinzhou and Yongzhou saw the powerful medical system of the Zhou Kingdom.

In fact, the grassland Hu people also feared plagues, the most famous of which was smallpox. Smallpox itself is a kind of pox on animals. After several evolutions, it became a highly contagious disease.

The Hu people not only make a living by raising livestock, but also have more or less contact with white people, so smallpox means death and extinction for the Hu people.

The Hu people don't know the difference between epidemics, but they know that as long as they become citizens of the Zhou Kingdom and live a good life, the country will not abandon them if they really get an epidemic in the future.

After hearing about the harm caused by the epidemics from all sides and seeing the powerful technology of the Medical Department, the people of Zhou State, who originally did not care about the various prevention and control methods of the Medical Department, began to regard the methods taught by the Medical Department as laws, not only abiding by them themselves, but also supervising others to abide by them. Because if they get sick, they might infect others, and for their own sake, they have to keep a close eye on those who refuse to obey.

You Hongyin himself did not expect that the Medical Department, which was originally used to rescue more battlefield wounded, would eventually develop into such a situation. In fact, You Hongyin felt that this department had become a tool for the country to control folk customs and open up people's wisdom, not only about hygiene habits, but also about marriage, childbirth, etc. In addition, due to the shortage of manpower, some of the nurses were women. As long as the time is long enough, when the world has not been brainwashed by Zhu Li, the status of women can be completely changed.

Of course, You Hongyin will start to do some of these things, and some will not. Many things are not useful to forcibly change the course of history. In the end, it is more likely to grow by letting it germinate on its own, rather than dying halfway.

In the New Year of the second year of An Ning, Zhou State was full of laughter.

Now, the north has completely become the territory of Zhou State, and even part of the grasslands once occupied by Han State has been specially divided into a county, and a series of large and small cities have been specially built to guard the northwest gate and monitor the various forces of the grassland tribes.

And You Hongyin thought that instead of selecting fertile land in the country to build pastures, it would be better to raise livestock on the grassland. But compared with the past breeding method of constantly migrating following water and grass, You Hongyin has made improvements. Only the war horses used on the battlefield are raised in the past, and other livestock will be raised in pens. Doing so will make the cost of livestock much higher than the past grazing everywhere, but it will also tie the herdsmen to the city, and completely deprive them of the maddening mobility of the past.

The Yellow River control project has roughly set up a framework, and the future project only needs to continue, and it should be completed before the two-year rainy season.

After at least a year, the people in the north had adapted to the rule of the Zhou Kingdom. Many people who had moved away from the north and went to the south with the Jin Dynasty even moved back to their homeland.

At such a prosperous time, it was normal for the whole Zhou Kingdom to be jubilant. ⑦Thin Rabbit ⑦Net ⑦Document ⑦Sharing ⑦ and ⑦Online ⑦Reading ⑦

In the first month of the year, the eldest prince of the Zhou Kingdom was born.

Ahem, You Hongyin was very efficient in doing things. The same is true for having children.

It can be said that the birth of the eldest prince of the Zhou Kingdom made the court of the Zhou Kingdom twice as confident!

Although I don’t want to admit it, this is indeed what everyone thinks at this moment. Only a regime with inheritance can last.

The Sima family’s world fell so quickly, isn’t it because the previous emperor of the Sima family was a fool?

And the newly born eldest prince, judging from his appearance and behavior, definitely doesn’t look like a fool.

The second generation can be guaranteed, and the third generation can be expected, so why not follow him and help the future ruler of the world to flatten the last stumbling block at the last moment of this battle for the world.

Therefore, it is normal for the ministers to celebrate enthusiastically.

Everyone thinks that it is a bit late to have a eldest son at the age of 28 and His Majesty is unwilling to expand the harem.

You Hongyin would exercise every day no matter how busy he was, and would play with his son no matter how hard he worked. He would smile and say nothing when he saw the ministers who were being ordered around by him.

He always liked to spend a relaxing old age, and when he was the emperor, it was no exception.

Chapter 222: The Elegance of Famous Scholars (Forty-nine)

The autumn harvest of the third year of An Ning was over, and autumn ploughing was underway.

This year's bumper harvest of grain can be said to have calmed the hearts of many people who had experienced wars, natural disasters, and many hardships.

The important officials who managed the states found that with the successful cases of Qingzhou in the past, many things could be solved by comparing them, and the various problems of the states and counties under their jurisdiction could be solved. Some of them might not be solved due to different customs, but those problems could be handled by themselves.

Of course, without the technical assistance of the various royal workshops of His Majesty, it would be difficult for them to accumulate wealth quickly, but it would be no problem to quickly help the people settle down and farm.

The refugees who were once the last people to be pushed aside by all places have now become the best resource that all states and counties are competing for. No matter how good the policy or plan is, without farmers to cultivate the land and craftsmen to make it, everything is useless.

In order to compete for refugees, the policies offered by various states are relatively favorable. For example, there is no tax on the land at the beginning, and you can get the land deed after a few years of cultivation.

In addition to the restoration of farming, other
