Gurgling away from thieves for ten long years. Unable to go to the south, I resumed my tour of Xichuan.
The things are in vain, the water shines in vain, the soul is hurt, and the mountain is silent. I have nothing to rely on in my life, and I am afraid of the roadside even in my room.
The long forest is full of wind, and the mood is still lost. The green clothes are slightly moist, and the horses are neighing with green grass in their mouths.
The trestle is hung to avoid rocks, and the bridge is broken, but I look for the stream. When will the war be over, I will be ashamed of my old wife.
The movement is gradually disappearing, and people appear and disappear from time to time. The servants are talking through the bamboos, and the children are calling into the clouds.
Turning a stone frightens the demons, attacking bows and knocking down gliders. I really offer you a smile, as if you want to comfort yourself in a desperate situation.
——"Three Poems on Taking My Wife from Langzhou to Shushan" by Du Fu
…
The food problem was finally solved, and Taifu Xu had the happiest sleep in these days. In his dream, he returned to Bashu, where he was born, grew up, and dreamed of:
"The water is clearing the sand, the mountains are spring-shaped, and the flying flowers and catkins are melodious. It's a good time in April to fish and let the ducks go. The forest and mountains here are wonderful, every family is full, and the green stream is quiet. On the slope, there are broken and broken ropes, and it is messy. Mending the wall. Sounding bangs and thinking about the past. Immortals from Emei once stayed in my hometown. They have been in Xishan for thousands of years, and their surnames are still fragrant..."
Suddenly there was a noise at the door, which woke Mr. Xu up.
"General, please let me report to the Grand Tutor. It's so urgent that we can't afford to delay it!" A voice at the door said urgently.
"Master Yan, I didn't deliberately obstruct it. Taifu has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights, and finally fell asleep. Please take a rest and let Taifu sleep for one or two more hours. When Taifu wakes up, I will report it to you immediately. .”
"Liebu, let Mr. Yan come in." Taifu Xu put on his clothes and walked out through the curtain.
Yan Jiming, a member of Hu Cao's army, saw the dark circles under Xu Taifu's eyes and dull skin, and couldn't help but feel sad and guilty. He hurriedly paid his respects and said, "I have disturbed Taifu late at night, please forgive me."
Taifu Xu smiled heartily and said: "It doesn't matter, I am getting older and sleep less. I just woke up. Come, sit down and talk."
The matter was urgent, and Yan Jiming didn't bother to be polite and told him why he asked for help.
It turns out that although the floods in Shaanzhou have subsided, they have brought about another disaster - the epidemic. The plague is more dangerous and terrifying than floods and famine. People in Luoyang are panicked, and thousands of people are sitting there waiting to die.
Yan Jiming said: "Victims from Shaanzhou and other places fled to Luoyang. According to the Taifu's advice, the prefect did not allow the victims to enter the city. Instead, he set up eight resettlement sites in the suburbs, including Camp A, Camp B, and Camp C. He recruited troops Camp tents, where the victims will be uniformly placed according to their hometowns."
The Taifu asked: "How is the arrangement of the resettlement site? Are drinking water sources, laundry and bathing, garbage dumps, and dry latrines separated from excrement?"
Yan Jiming reported back: "The Ministry of War sent a large number of marching commanders and soldiers to assist the Luoyang government in planning resettlement sites. Except for pure military facilities such as archery towers and buckets, trenches and deer barriers, the rest of the arrangements were completely based on the planning of the marching formation to set up camps.
There are dedicated catering soldiers in the upper reaches of the stream, choosing clean water sources, burying pots and stoves for cooking. In the resettlement sites, fire breaks are established, water tanks are filled with water, and soil is piled into bags. Sufficient distance is maintained between tents in each camp. This not only prevents the spread of fire, It also prevents the spread of epidemic diseases. Logistics soldiers built bathhouses, dry latrines and garbage filling pits downstream of the stream.
After the camp was set up, the prefect, accompanied by the soldiers, inspected the area one by one and inspected them one by one. Therefore, although the number of victims was large, the entire camp was orderly, staggered, neat and clean."
"Then what's the problem?" Taifu Xu asked.
Yan Jiming shook his head and expressed ignorance.
"How did you find out?" Xu Taifu asked eagerly.
Yan Jiming reported back: "First, an old man in Camp B showed signs of fever and passed away within two days. Then all the families in this family developed fever lesions, and within seven days, they all died of the disease. In the following days, neighboring families
In several tents, a large number of people contracted the disease.
As soon as this incident spread, the victims in Camp C panicked and fled the resettlement site one after another.
General Tu was anxious, fearing that the plague would spread, and led his troops to capture all the fleeing victims. At the same time, military isolation zones were established outside the eight resettlement sites. Anyone who dared to escape would be shot to death.
Although this move has controlled the epidemic in Camp C, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. On the one hand, the situation in Camp C has deteriorated sharply and is in danger; on the other hand, people in other resettlement sites are panicked. If there is no better way, things will change sooner or later.
The Lord Taifu was at a loss, so he asked me to come quickly and ask for the Lord Taifu's opinion."
Of course Taifu Xu knew that when the so-called prefect came to ask for his opinion, he was actually letting himself get involved. If the situation was serious in the future and the Holy Father blamed him, and when someone was asked to hold him accountable, he would be able to drag one more person along to help share the responsibility. But it was a matter of common people.
Safety, there is no point in worrying about these vanity fairs. Taifu has long passed the age of caring about reputation and reputation, and he values doing practical things more.
The Taifu pondered for a moment and said: "There are many disciples of the Qingcheng lineage in Luoyang. Contact them immediately. Qingcheng's nine needles are unparalleled in the world and are particularly effective in treating typhoid and plague. You can ask them to rescue people and go deep into the places where the epidemic is most serious.
, interrogating patients in Bing camp.
In addition to the original eight resettlement sites, two new resettlement sites, a men's camp and a women's camp, and a hospital were set up in the suburbs. The other camps will be inspected one by one. Once there are victims with fever, they will be immediately transferred to these two resettlement sites. Pay attention to
Observe. If it is confirmed to be plague, then transfer to the hospital.
The hospital spends a lot of money to hire local famous doctors or Taoist monks who know medical skills to sit in the hall for consultation. Doctors with excellent medical skills, noble medical ethics, and who have cured more patients will be reported to the imperial court by the government and rewarded with knighthoods.
In addition, I have a prescription, derived from "Qianjin Prescription", which is a secret recipe for treating the plague that I got from my old friend Sun Simiao. This prescription "is unreasonable in its use, and as for emergency relief, it is very effective. Drink it continuously."
After a few doses, the patient will be sweating and qi-discharging, eating a little more, and the spirit will be restored completely. Even if there is no illness at ordinary times, if you take one dose on an empty stomach, you will eat twice as much as usual, and all diseases will not occur."
The medicinal materials used in this prescription are of medium and low quality. It is estimated that one thousand doses can be obtained for every thousand yuan, making it easy to promote its use among the people.
The prefect can order people to set up large pots for cooking in the streets and distribute them to the people free of charge. Passers-by, regardless of age or age, will each take a large cup."
…
While the tutor was speaking, Yan Jiming was taking notes. By the time the tutor finished speaking, it was already dawn. The tutor was sweating all over his body and was exhausted.
Yan Jiming's eyes were filled with tears, and he was so moved that it was beyond words.
The Taifu waved his hands and smiled, saying: "My body won't die for a while. You go quickly. If you are late, it will be too late. The closed disciple of Qingxuan Sect in Qingcheng is by my side. I asked him to go with you."
Go. His medical skills are very good and he will definitely be able to help you."
