Princess Consort Is No Pushover

In the afternoon, after Yun Ruoyue saw the last patient, Chu Xuanchen, County Magistrate Fang and others also came back from the neighboring county.

As soon as the county magistrate walked in, he hugged his stomach and said anxiously: "My lord, please wait a moment, my stomach hurts a little, I will come as soon as I go."

With that said, he hurried towards the toilet.

Seeing County Magistrate Fang's appearance, Yun Ruoyue felt that he must have drank unclean water and contracted dysentery or something.

At this time, after Chu Xuanchen walked in, he had already seen her.

He hurriedly walked towards her and said, "Yue'er, are you done with your work today?"

"Well, Xuan Chen, you came back just in time. Let me tell you, I received many dysentery patients today." Yun Ruoyue said worriedly.

"Dysentery patients? There are so many? What's going on?" Chu Xuanchen said.

Yun Ruoyue said: "I doubt that they drank unclean water. By the way, County Magistrate Fang also had a stomachache just now. Could he also have dysentery?"

"It seems that when he went out to do errands with me just now, he had diarrhea many times, I thought he had a bad stomach!" Chu Xuanchen said.

Yun Ruoyue frowned, "Even County Magistrate Fang has dysentery, so it seems that things have become serious!"

"Princess, what dysentery, what are you talking about?" At this moment, County Magistrate Fang had already fastened his belt, and quickly ran towards the two of them.

Yun Ruoyue looked at him and found that his face was pale and his body was weak, so she said, "Magistrate Fang, did you drink unclean water while you were outside today?"

Fang County Magistrate said: "Unclean water? There shouldn't be any. I only drank some mountain spring water outside today. This mountain spring water should be the cleanest."

"Not necessarily. If the mountain spring water has been polluted by livestock and human garbage, it's just as unhygienic." Yun Ruoyue said.

"Ah? I thought that as long as it was mountain spring water, it must be the most hygienic. I drank a lot just now, no wonder my stomach hurts." County magistrate Fang regretted.

Yun Ruoyue said: "Magistrate Fang, you must have dysentery, because many patients I received today all suffered from dysentery and had the same symptoms as you."

"Dysentery? Oh my god, that princess, what should I do now?" County magistrate Fang turned pale when he heard this.

Yun Ruoyue hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, I have medicine here that can cure dysentery. However, you must be temporarily isolated for a few days."

"Okay, I see. Thank you, Princess." County Magistrate Fang said hurriedly.

Yun Ruoyue said: "Xuan Chen, even Fang County Magistrate has been infected with dysentery, which shows that the sanitary conditions in Longxing County are very worrying. We have to go to the street immediately to see what's going on."

"Okay, that's exactly what I mean." Chu Xuanchen said, looking at Fang County Magistrate, "Fang County Magistrate, after you take the medicine, take a good rest, and the princess and I will go to the street first. "

"Okay, then I'll ask Zhou Qing to accompany you." County Magistrate Fang said.

"En." Chu Xuanchen nodded.

-

Then, after Yun Ruoyue brought the medicine for dysentery to County Magistrate Fang, she went to the street of Longxing County with Chu Xuanchen and others, and began to investigate the cause of the dysentery among the common people.

When she walked to the street, she realized that the street was very dirty, and the villagers always drained the water indiscriminately, dumping all the dirty water onto the street.

Once the sewage flows into the well, it will pollute the well. People will easily get sick if they drink the dirty water in the well.

Then, Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen came to a reservoir specially for storing water.

When they got to the reservoir, they saw many people washing clothes in the reservoir, and many villagers let their cows and horses bathe in the reservoir.

At this time, the livestock were having fun in the reservoir, seeing such a scene, Yun Ruoyue was very shocked.

"My God! This is the source of drinking water for everyone. How can these people let their livestock bathe in it?" Yun Ruoyue said angrily.

Chu Xuanchen also had a sullen expression on his face, "No wonder everyone suffers from dysentery. It turns out that even the water source is polluted. Don't these people even understand the simple principle of protecting water sources?"

Yun Ruoyue's eyes were deep, no wonder everyone said this is a wild place, it turned out that everyone's behavior was so barbaric.

She said: "No, Xuan Chen, we can't let them continue, otherwise more people will get sick."

"Yes, if we want everyone not to get sick, we must have a clean water source. If we want this water source to be clean, we must formulate laws to protect the water source, so that they will not dare to mess around." Chu Xuanchen said.

"Well, in addition to protecting water sources, we also need to distinguish clean water from sewage, so that people can discharge dirty water to the place where it should be drained, instead of dumping it on the street and polluting wells. Not only that, During this period of time, we have to send people to protect these water sources, and don't let anyone get close to them, lest they dirty the water again." Yun Ruoyue said.

"Okay, then let's go back first." Chu Xuanchen said.

-

After returning to the county government office, Chu Xuanchen quickly summoned all the officials and told everyone about the matter.

After everyone heard that the people contracted dysentery because of the pollution of the water source, they were very worried.

Master Liu said: "Your Majesty, so many people have dysentery. The situation is very serious. It will kill people. So how should we change the water source and make it clean?"

Chu Xuanchen said: "Sewage is the first cause of disease. In order to prevent the water source from being polluted, the princess and I have thought of several ways. First, we must legislate to protect the water source. We must let the people know that the water source can only be protected. Do not pollute, and offenders will be severely punished. Secondly, we must send people to guard the water sources or wells, prohibit people from going down the river to wash their clothes, and prohibit livestock and ordinary people from bathing in the river. Third, we must do a good job of zoning water sources. Clean water sources cannot Mixed with dirty water, we need to legislate to stop the people from discharging dirty water into the street, and build a special sewage channel for the people to use. Finally, we need to use quicklime or alum to adjust the water quality. There are many ways Putting everything together, I believe that we will be able to drink clean water in a short time, and everyone will not get sick again."

"Okay, what the prince said is good, then I will hurry up to draft the decree, and then implement the decree, so that the people will abide by it." Zhou Qing said.

Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Okay, these laws and regulations must not only be implemented in Longxing County, but also be pushed to the other six counties, so that everyone knows the importance of protecting water sources."

"Yes, my lord." Zhou Qing said.

Chu Xuanchen said: "Okay, it shouldn't be too late, you guys should do it quickly."

"Yes." After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he hurried to draft the decree.

The next day, Zhou Qing drew up a decree to protect water sources.

Then, he ordered people to copy these decrees many times and posted them on the street to attract people to read them.
