As a good official who works conscientiously and loves the people like his own son, Feng Qing has to see so many people he lives with day and night die in front of his eyes every day, which is tantamount to a kind of torture.
However, he is not a doctor, let alone treat diseases, so he can only do other work to relieve his anxiety.
Hu Changan was also silent.
Unlike modern times, ancient times had a relatively complete medical system. Apart from traditional Chinese medicine, there was basically no other way to treat diseases.
Moreover, ancient people's understanding of epidemics was not as complete as modern people's. When they were in urgent need of medical treatment, they would invite gods to drink talisman water, and all kinds of strange and bizarre tricks emerged one after another.
Without medical treatment or reasonable methods to prevent diseases, ancient people often suffered when one person got sick, and the whole family suffered.
Once the plague spreads, it is often uncontrollable, and sometimes more than half of the people in a village may die.
Suddenly, Hu Changan seemed to have thought of something and asked Feng Qing: "County Magistrate Feng, does the prince know about this at this time?"
"Why don't we report it to the prince first and see if we can get some more people over?"
After hearing this, Feng Qing looked at Hu Changan with a wry smile, as if looking at an ignorant newcomer in the workplace: "Brother Hu, do you know whose interests will be harmed by this reform?"
"Of course it harms the interests of the gentry and landlords." Hu Changan replied without thinking.
As the proposer of the Lijia system, Hu Changan naturally knew this.
After hearing this, Feng Qing sighed slightly and said: "This reform is to fight against the powerful landlords who have been entrenched in the local area for many years, and to prevent their family from becoming dominant and controlling the power of the township."
“Right now, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this reform pilot!”
"If an epidemic breaks out at this juncture, those country squires will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, saying that the new law is contrary to nature and will bring bad luck to the people."
"People are uneducated and can easily be fooled by such rhetoric."
"Once a large-scale public opinion is formed, even the prince and even the current emperor will not dare to go against heaven!"
"Not only will the reform in our county fail, but even the reform in the entire suburb of Yingtian City will not be able to be implemented."
"In this way, there will no longer be any possibility of promoting the Lijia system!"
"At that time, the people will still live under the exploitation of the squires and landlords forever and ever, and will not be free!"
"Right now, only a few people in the village are suffering. Maybe the epidemic can be controlled."
"Brother Hu, now we can only control this epidemic with our own strength so as not to harm His Majesty's great cause!"
"What's more, I have already sent people to invite the best doctors in Yingtian City, and some of them are even the palace doctors. If they can't do anything, then it will be useless for His Highness to send people here.
"
After hearing this, Hu Changan couldn't help but nodded in an educated manner.
As a modern person who is not familiar with officialdom, he is still too young.
It seems that only by finding a way to control the epidemic in Jiangning County can the great cause of reform be completed at the minimum cost!
But these doctors can't cure it. As a modern person, maybe he can help?
Thinking of this, Hu Changan quickly raised his hands to Feng Qing and said, "Master Feng, could you take me to see the patient's condition?"
After hearing this, Feng Qing was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Hu, I know you have good intentions, but you must not be stupid!"
"This epidemic is extremely contagious. If you come into direct contact with a patient, you may also become infected!"
"There is currently no specific cure for this disease. If you get the disease, none of us can help you."
"Brother Hu, you are still young, don't make fun of your own life!"
At the end, Feng Qing's voice even changed a little.
As an old man who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, he sincerely appreciates young people like Hu Changan.
Not only is he devoted to the people, he is also quick-witted. If Feng Qing is given another twenty years, he may not be able to figure it out.
If such geniuses die in this epidemic, it will definitely be a loss for Ming Dynasty!
However, Hu Changan did not take it seriously and just replied calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Feng, I also have some medical skills. Although I may not be able to save these people who are infected, there is still no problem in protecting myself."
"Please, Master Feng, please provide me with some gauze and cotton, and I will make some tools to prevent the spread of the disease, so that we can avoid being infected!"
After hearing this, Feng Qing looked at Hu Changan in surprise.
Unexpectedly, this young boy is proficient in medical skills and can make tools that can prevent epidemics?!
At such a young age, he is so awesome!
Ever since he heard about Hu Changan's Lijia system, Feng Qing already had a certain degree of confidence in this young man.
Now that he saw what Hu Changan said so confidently, Feng Qing believed it in his heart.
Feng Qing quickly ordered people to fetch the things Hu Changan needed, and also transferred an embroiderer from the mansion to help Hu Changan make the things.
At this time, Hu Changan also quietly exchanged an "Ancient Epidemic Prevention Manual" and a disposable disease detector from the system.
Now Hu Changan, because he proposed the Lijia system in the main hall, his worship points have increased a lot, and it is more than enough to buy some small things in the system.
This epidemic prevention manual is not expensive, but the disease monitor is ridiculously expensive, costing Hu Changan nearly one-third of his admiration points.
However, in order to survive, Hu Changan had no choice but to place the order with tears in his eyes.
After all, Hu Changan is not a serious doctor. If he buys a medical book and reads it, misdiagnosis will inevitably occur.
Just like the legendary Baidu doctor, if you check online, you will find cancer, but if you check offline, you will not find any diseases.
Hu Changan didn't dare to take this risk for a small amount of money.
After a while, the gauze and cotton Hu Changan asked for arrived, followed by a strong embroiderer.
Seeing this, Hu Changan quickly turned to the chapter on mask making in the epidemic prevention manual in his mind, and explained to the embroiderer: "Girl, please help me sew a kind of cloth to wear on the face."
"This thing is called a mask, and it can prevent the spread of diseases to a certain extent."
"Ask the girl to cut out two pieces of gauze, fill the two pieces of gauze with cotton, then sew them together, and finally install two hanging ears on both sides."
"As long as this mask is big enough to cover your mouth and nose, it will be fine."
As Hu Changan spoke, he explained to the embroiderer with gestures and gestures.
Fortunately, the embroiderer was smart. Following Hu Changan's instructions, she made a simple ancient version of the mask in a short time.
Hu Changan took the mask, adjusted the tightness of the strap, and nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, you won’t be afraid of being infected by the patient! This chapter has been completed!
