Chapter 912 The plague spreads and medicinal materials are in short supply
When Zhu Biao heard this, he became even more anxious. He stood up and asked eagerly: "Old doctor, what should we do? Is there any way to control the plague?"
The old doctor pondered for a moment and said: "The first thing to control the plague is to isolate the patients and prevent the spread of the virus. Secondly, we need to collect medicinal materials as soon as possible to treat the patients. However, the old man's power is limited, and the medicinal materials are expensive, and the village really cannot afford it.
.”
Zhu Han thought for a moment and made a decisive decision: "Old doctor, you go back first to stabilize the plague and prevent further spread. Let's find a way to solve the problem of medicinal materials."
When the old doctor heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you two gentlemen for your kindness! On behalf of the whole village, I would like to thank you both!"
After sending the old doctor away, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao fell into deep thought again. Zhu Han turned to Zhu Biao and said: "Your Highness, the plague cannot be delayed. We must act immediately."
Zhu Biao nodded, determination flashing in his eyes: "Uncle Han Wang, we not only need to collect medicinal materials, but also request the emperor to send medical officers to assist."
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and said with firm eyes: "What His Highness said is true. Let's act separately. I immediately wrote a letter and sent a horse back to the capital to ask for the imperial court's support of medicinal materials and medical officers. Your Highness settled here temporarily.
Assist old doctors to stabilize the plague and prevent further spread."
Zhu Biao nodded, his eyes flashing with anxiety and determination: "Uncle Hanwang, I'm going to discuss with the old doctor to see how to isolate patients more effectively and reduce the risk of virus transmission."
Zhu Han nodded, then turned around and told the attendant: "Go quickly and prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to draft a letter immediately." The attendant left in response and returned shortly with the Four Treasures of the Study.
Zhu Han wrote quickly, his handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and his words revealed unquestionable determination and urgency. After writing, he sealed the letter and handed it to another attendant: "This letter is extremely urgent. It must be sent back to the capital overnight and delivered to His Majesty personally.
.”
The attendant took the letter, looked solemn, bowed and left in a hurry. Zhu Han looked at the attendant's retreating back and silently prayed in his heart that everything would go smoothly.
At the same time, Zhu Biao had found the old doctor, and the two were discussing countermeasures in a simple medical clinic in the village. Zhu Biao listened carefully to every suggestion of the old doctor, nodded in agreement from time to time, and put forward his own opinions: "Old doctor
Doctor, I think we can set up a checkpoint at the entrance of the village to test people entering and leaving the village, and immediately isolate and observe any abnormalities found."
When the old doctor heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "What His Royal Highness the Prince said is absolutely true. This method can effectively control the spread of the plague. However, this requires a large number of manpower to execute."
Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said: "I will mobilize the young adults in the village to help. At the same time, I will also arrange for the guards to be on duty in turns to ensure that the checkpoint operates 24 hours a day."
The old doctor nodded repeatedly, and his gratitude was beyond words: "With His Royal Highness in charge, I feel more at ease. I will prepare the isolation area to ensure that the patients are properly accommodated."
The two of them had reached an agreement and took action separately. Zhu Biao went to the village to mobilize the young adults and guards, while the old doctor led several assistants to start setting up the isolation area.
As night fell, the entire village was shrouded in a tense and orderly atmosphere. Although the villagers were full of fear and uneasiness, under the comfort and guidance of Zhu Biao and the old doctor, they gradually settled down and began to actively cooperate with the epidemic prevention and control work.
At the same time, Zhu Han was anxiously waiting for news from the capital in the inn. Sometimes he was pacing, sometimes staring at the dark night sky outside the window, silently praying in his heart that everything would be resolved as soon as possible.
Finally, in the early morning of the next day, a fast horse messenger rushed to the inn after a long journey. Zhu Han hurried forward to greet him, took the secret letter from the messenger's hand, and quickly opened it and read it. In the letter, Zhu Yuanzhang had agreed to send medical officers and medicinal materials.
Come to support and promise to fully support the epidemic prevention and control work.
A big stone fell in Zhu Han's heart, and he quickly summoned Zhu Biao and the old doctor to discuss the next step. The three of them sat around and carefully studied the timetable for the arrival of medical officers and medicinal materials, and how to distribute the materials to those in need in the shortest possible time.
in the hands of villagers.
Zhu Han said solemnly: "We must ensure that the supplies can be delivered in time, and at the same time, we must also do a good job in the ideological work of the villagers to let them understand that this is the court's care and support for them."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. I will personally lead the guards to help distribute the supplies, and patiently explain the court's intentions to the villagers."
The old doctor also added: "I will set up a receiving point in the medical center to ensure that the medicinal materials can be quickly stored and treatment work can begin."
The discussion was settled, and the division of labor among the three was clear, and they each devoted themselves to intense work. Zhu Han personally wrote a letter to the villagers, explaining in detail the court's assistance measures and the importance of plague prevention and control, hoping that the villagers could unite as one and
Fight the plague together.
Zhu Biao took his guards and went from house to house to inform the villagers about the establishment of checkpoints and isolation areas. In front of a simple farmhouse, he stopped and knocked lightly on the door. The door slowly opened.
A woman with a haggard face poked her head out and saw a trace of surprise and hope in her eyes when she saw it was Zhu Biao.
"Madam, I'm here to help you." Zhu Biao said gently, "In order to control the plague, we decided to set up a checkpoint at the entrance of the village to conduct temperature checks on people entering and leaving. At the same time, an isolation area will be set up in the village to provide sick villagers with
treat."
After hearing this, the woman's eyes turned red and she nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, our village really needs this kind of help. The man at home is sick, and I am worried about what to do."
When Zhu Biao heard this, his heart became heavier. He comforted softly: "Don't worry, the imperial court has sent medical officers and medicinal materials. Everything will be fine. The most important thing now is that everyone should cooperate with our work, reduce going out, and avoid cross-fertilization."

The woman nodded repeatedly, with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely cooperate. However, there are many old people and children in the village, and they don't understand this."
, I have to ask Your Highness to pay more attention."
Zhu Biao solemnly promised: "Madam, please rest assured, we will arrange manpower to publicize epidemic prevention knowledge door-to-door to ensure that everyone understands and abides by epidemic prevention measures."
After bidding farewell to the woman, Zhu Biao continued to the next house to inform. Everywhere he went, he patiently explained and carefully comforted the villagers, and the villagers' initial doubts gradually turned into trust and support.
At the same time, the old doctor was busy in the isolation area. While he was instructing his assistants to place the patients, he recorded the condition of each patient. When Zhu Biao came to the isolation area, the old doctor was bending down to measure a child.
Body temperature, focused and serious expression.
"Old doctor, how is the situation?" Zhu Biao asked with concern.
The old doctor raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not optimistic, and the number of patients is still increasing. Fortunately, with the support of the imperial court, we finally have some means to deal with it."
Zhu Biao nodded with firm eyes: "Old doctor, please persist. The court and the villagers are watching us, and we cannot give up."
The old doctor smiled slightly, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness, don't worry, although I am old, the doctor is kind-hearted and will do his best."
The two of them toured the quarantine area. Zhu Biao inquired about each patient's condition in detail and provided some comfort and encouragement.
As night fell, Zhu Han was sorting out the day's records and reports in the inn. At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door. Zhu Han looked up and saw Zhu Biao pushing the door in, looking slightly tired but with eyes
Still firm.
"Uncle Hanwang, things are going well today. The villagers are very cooperative with our work, and the old doctor is doing his best to treat the patients." Zhu Biao said as he walked to the table and sat down.
Zhu Han smiled slightly and handed over a cup of hot tea: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness. With you sitting in front, I can handle the affairs in the rear with peace of mind."
Zhu Biao took the tea cup and took a sip, with warmth flowing in his heart: "Uncle Hanwang is overly complimentary. In fact, I admire Uncle Hanwang's foresight and decisive decision-making even more. Without you, we may not be able to cope with this crisis."
Zhu Han shook his head and looked deeply: "Your Highness is serious."
At this time, a report from an attendant came from outside the door: "Your Highness, Your Highness King Han, the fast horse messenger is back and has brought the latest news from the court."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao looked at each other, with a flash of eagerness and expectation in their eyes. Zhu Han quickly stood up and told his attendants: "Please come in quickly."
Not long after, a travel-worn messenger on horseback walked into the house, bowed and saluted, and handed over a secret letter: "His Royal Highness, King Han, His Highness the Crown Prince, this is your Majesty's latest reply."
Zhu Han took the secret letter, quickly opened it and read it, his brows gradually relaxed. He looked up at Zhu Biao, his eyes flashing with joy: "Good news, His Majesty not only agreed to our previous request, but also allocated an additional batch of silver coins for use.
Post-disaster reconstruction and epidemic prevention work.”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he also beamed with joy: "This is great! With your Majesty's support, we will definitely be able to help these people get out of their predicament faster."
Zhu Han nodded, handed the secret letter to Zhu Biao, and asked him to read it. Then, he turned to the fast horse messenger: "Thank you for your hard work. You have been traveling all the way. You can go down and rest first. We will arrange the next step as soon as possible.
.”
The fast horse messenger bowed and left, leaving only Zhu Han and Zhu Biao in the room again. Zhu Biao carefully put away the secret letter and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Han, we have to tell the old doctor and the villagers the news immediately.
, so that they can feel at ease.”
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "Yes, without further ado, we will go to the quarantine area to find the old doctor to discuss the next arrangements."
The two hurried to the isolation area. The old doctor was immersed in the patients. When he saw them arriving, he quickly stood up and saluted: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you have any new instructions?"
Zhu Han stepped forward and briefly informed the old doctor of His Majesty's latest decision. After hearing this, the old doctor's eyes flashed with excitement: "This is great! With these resources, we can better treat these patients.
.”
Zhu Biao also added: "Not only that, His Majesty also allocated money for post-disaster reconstruction, and the lives of the villagers will also be improved."
When the old doctor heard this, his gratitude was beyond words: "Your Majesty's sage is really a blessing to the people. On behalf of the whole village, I would like to thank your Majesty for your kindness."
After the discussion, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao decided to convey the good news to every villager in person. They walked out of the isolation area, along the village roads, and announced the news door to door. Every time they visited a house, they could feel the warmth of the villagers.
We are sincerely happy and grateful.
In front of a simple farmhouse, they met a middle-aged farmer. When the farmer heard about His Majesty's kindness, he was so excited that his eyes filled with tears: "Your Majesty is really our great savior! We have suffered so much these years, and finally the good news we have been waiting for is here."

Zhu Han patted the farmer's shoulder gently and comforted him gently: "Don't worry, life will get better gradually. You should also cheer up and build a home together."
The farmer nodded repeatedly, with hope shining in his eyes: "Thank you, gentlemen. We will definitely obey the court's arrangements and work hard to rebuild our home."
As the sun set, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao traveled throughout the village, bringing His Majesty's grace and care into the hearts of every villager. As night fell, the two returned to the inn. Although their bodies were exhausted, their hearts were filled with unprecedented joy.
of satisfaction and joy.
In the inn, the two of them sat around the table and continued to discuss the follow-up arrangements. Zhu Han picked up a pen and drew on the map: "Your Highness, the areas we need to focus on next are here and here. These two areas were hardest hit.
It is serious and requires priority investment of resources.”
Zhu Biao looked at the map carefully and nodded in agreement: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. We must ensure that every resource can be used wisely."
The two discussed and took notes until late at night before going back to their rooms to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, as the first ray of sunshine shone into the inn, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao got up early and started a new day's work. They first went to the market to purchase supplies, and then went to distribute them everywhere.
"Uncle Hanwang, look at these vendors, although their lives are hard, the smiles on their faces are so real." Zhu Biao said softly, his eyes full of sympathy and understanding for the people.
Zhu Han nodded and said with emotion: "Although the people are in adversity, they still maintain optimism and tenacity. This is the foundation for the stability of the Ming Dynasty. As a royal family, we should care about the people and solve their problems.
"
The two came to a vegetable stall. The stall owner was a middle-aged woman who was busy sorting out the fresh vegetables she had just picked. Zhu Han took a step forward and asked gently: "Sister-in-law, what's the harvest this year?"
how?"
The woman looked up and saw two extraordinary-looking young men. She was startled for a moment, and then replied enthusiastically: "Sir, this year's harvest is really bad. It's dry and there are many pests. It's good that these vegetables can grow like this."
.However, I can still sell some money to make ends meet.”
When Zhu Han heard this, he frowned slightly, took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to the woman, saying, "Sister-in-law, we all need these vegetables. In addition, you can take the money and buy some food for the children."
