A few days passed, and Yousiyu's condition finally stabilized.
Dr. Zhu came out of the room, exhaled softly and said: "It's getting better. In a few days, scabs will form. What we have to do now is not to let her scratch. If she scratches, her appearance will be damaged."
"Thank you, doctor." Ye Yingge said gratefully.
"Have you found the source of smallpox?" Dr. Zhu asked.
"It's been found out." Ye Yingge said angrily, "The nanny cheated, took advantage of others, and gave the clothes of the child infected with smallpox to Siyu to wear, which is why such a big incident happened."
"Nanny has no symptoms, right?"
"I sent people to keep an eye on her, but she still has no symptoms. Since she did it on purpose, she would definitely take precautions. How could she let herself get caught?"
Lu Xuan looked towards the direction of the room: "Why didn't Brother Chu come out?"
"He is exhausted..." Dr. Zhu said, "This classmate of yours is very careful and takes good care of the child. Thanks to him, I can free up my hands to prepare medicines."
"Doctor Zhu." The housekeeper of Youfu came over in a hurry. "It's not good, someone else in the city has contracted smallpox."
"Who said that?" Lu Xuan asked.
"The people from the Yamen just said it outside the door. What should we do now?" said the steward. "The people from the Yamen said they want to send those with symptoms of smallpox to Youfu for treatment by you."
Doctor Zhu looked at Ye Yingge: "Mrs. You, if you agree, I will ask them to send it. If not, I will ask them to arrange another place."
"Is there a yard at the back door that has been abandoned for a long time? I think the house is still in good condition and should be ready for use. If you agree, you can use that yard to house patients."
Ye Yingge also knew that with so many doctors in the entire Hubei City, no other doctor except Dr. Zhu was willing to get this disease. If she didn't agree, Dr. Zhu would definitely not be able to stay in Youfu to treat her daughter alone.
"I promise."
After Ye Yingge agreed, the people from the yamen sent patients with smallpox symptoms to the back door.
Lu Xuan covered his face and joined the camp of caring for patients.
"Brother Lu, don't get involved, it will be bad if you get infected." Chu Ling tried to drive Lu Xuan away.
"Uncle Zhu told me how to prevent smallpox, and I will pay attention to it," Lu Xuan said. "In addition, my sister-in-law gave me medicine, which she said can prevent smallpox. After taking it, it was like taking a reassurance pill.
"
"I've heard of this too," Chu Ling said, "There is indeed a medicine to prevent smallpox."
"So, you don't have to worry about me." Lu Xuan looked at the five people who had just been sent in. "Is it really a coincidence that there are five more patients suddenly? If this situation is not controlled, the entire Shanghai and North City will be in danger.
"
New cases of smallpox emerged, and the amusement park temporarily suspended operations.
What the people fear most are natural and man-made disasters. Man-made disasters can be avoided, but natural disasters cannot be avoided. It all depends on God's reward.
There are many fights and fights in Hubei City every day. The government officials were already very busy, but now they are even busier.
"Something happened." Lu Daniu broke into the room where Lu Yi was handling official business. "Sir, some people poured oil on You Mansion and set a fire. If they hadn't been discovered in time, they might have burned down."
"Has the culprit been caught?"
"He ran away."
"Catch." Lu Yi sneered.
"yes."
Lu Daniu did not leave, but continued: "Sir, there is a group of people who are spreading rumors everywhere to damage your reputation."
"Arrest him first and interrogate him." Lu Yi said calmly.
Just as Lu Daniu left, Xia Kun and Wen Wensong came in again.
"Perhaps it was an internal intrigue within the You family at first, but some people saw that the timing of the emergence of smallpox was beneficial to them, so they continued to make the matter bigger. If a large number of patients infected with smallpox appeared in Hubei City, and these people died, then This is definitely the darkest moment in the history of my political achievements, and I might not be able to keep my position." Lu Yi said calmly.
"You should be vigilant. I found out that the imperial censor arranged by the emperor went out incognito to inspect officials from all over the place. Judging from his movement track, he should be arriving at Hubei City soon. If something happens to Hubei City at this time, don't talk about you being a shameless hater. , I’m afraid you won’t even be able to save your life!” Xia Kun said, “This is someone who wants to punish you. It seems that our Lord Lu has not been an official for long, but there are many people who want you to die.”
"What to do now?" Wen Wensong asked.
"Soldiers are coming to block it, water is coming to cover it up, so why bother to mess up the position?" Lu Yi said, "Let's deal with smallpox first."
Doctors from all the pharmacies in Hubei City were summoned. The government promised not to collect commercial taxes from them within three years, and would award them with rewards, such as plaques, according to the number of free clinics they performed.
At this time, Mu Siyu came forward and promised that patients with prescriptions could go to Tongzhi Medical Center to get medicine for free. Regardless of whether they were smallpox patients or not, as long as they had a recent prescription, they could get medicine for free.
Of course she would not let Dr. Zhu suffer, but wanted to minimize the harm of smallpox. No one knew who in the crowd had smallpox. People like to take advantage, so why not go for free medical treatment? Not only are there free There are medical consultations and free herbal medicines available. For those poor people, this is a good thing.
Mu Siyu did this, firstly, to help Lu Yi share the pressure, secondly, to build the reputation of Tongzhao Medical Clinic, and thirdly, to give the people a good impression and let them know how good the 'Dream Home' is.
In the carriage, Li Hongshu looked at Mu Siyu in the crowd with complicated eyes.
Qingdai said: "This Mrs. Lu is really grand. There are so many people in the city, how much money will it cost?"
"Do you think she will suffer a loss?" Li Hongshu said, "The amusement park project was initiated by their husband and wife. When the smallpox incident is over and the amusement park is completed, with her good reputation among the people, will she still be short of tourists? "
"Even so, the loss this time is still a huge amount, and it cannot be earned back overnight."
"Who is the county magistrate of Hubeicheng?" Li Hongshu asked.
"Master Lu."
"Who is she, Mr. Lu?"
"Her husband."
"Smallpox broke out in Hubei City. It was a natural and man-made disaster, and it was impossible to prevent it. But with her generous actions, she not only made the people of Hubei City feel at ease, but also allowed others to see the unity of Hubei City and Mr. Lu's political achievements. This will become the key to Mr. Lu's career as an official. Political achievements. With the amusement park project, Hubei City will be famous again. From a business perspective, it is another political achievement."
"You think she is at a disadvantage, but in fact she is paving the way for her man. It's just that she does these things without anyone noticing. Only those who know her understand."
Li Hongshu's eyes were blank.
"I have always been competing with Zheng Shuyu, but in this matter I have to admit that she has found a good partner. After all, I cannot compare to Zheng Shuyu."
