Jing Wu delivered the letter to Emperor Wen of Jin immediately.
He has now gone to the public to protect the concubine. In order to better protect the concubine, Emperor Wen of Jin Dynasty gave him a token. He can enter the palace at any time without summoning.
When Emperor Wen of Jin saw Jing Wu, he thought something had happened to the concubine. When he learned that it was He Yunxi who asked him to bring a letter in, he felt confused, but he quickly read the letter.
After reading the letter, Emperor Wen of Jin forgot to breathe, and immediately asked Jing San to take two secret guards to the house where Li Da was using the toilet for verification.
Jing San was very fast and came back soon, bringing back some very bad news.
It was an old man living alone. The old man had died. The symptoms on his body were clearly smallpox.
In addition, his nearby neighbors also showed symptoms of smallpox.
When Emperor Wen of Jin heard this, smallpox spread unexpectedly!
He ordered General Zheng Gaoxiang from the Taiyuan Hospital, Liang Wenbin, the commander of the Jinlin Guards, Wu Qi, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Ji Ke, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, Yin Heyu of the Jingzhao Prefecture, and others to come over.
So many people were called over at once, alerting the cabinet and various departments.
What big thing happened?
The person who was called also felt a little bit in his heart. This battle is not a trivial matter!
Sure enough, when Emperor Wen of Jin mentioned that there was smallpox in the capital, everyone was shocked.
Smallpox actually appeared in the capital!
"Wu Qi, take people to the Mule Street area in the east of the city and put the people mentioned in the letter under guard. Then ask the Jinyi Guards to check if there are any people nearby who have concealed their illness and have not reported it. If there is any concealment, deal with it directly."
"He Yu, you should immediately arrange a courtyard nearby to gather all the people who have suffered from smallpox. People who have been in contact should also be isolated in the courtyard. Each person has a room to ensure that they do not affect each other, and there are also people who have been exposed.
The lives of quarantined people must also be arranged.”
"Ji Aiqing, the Ministry of Household Affairs must ensure the supply of supplies."
"Liang Wenbin, you lead the Golden Scale Guards to seal off Mule Street and the two surrounding streets, and no one is allowed to enter or exit. And arrange patrols to ensure public order in the city and ensure that people will not cause trouble."
"Gao Xiang, please arrange for ten imperial doctors to accompany Jin Yiwei to see the situation."
"Your Majesty, I also want to take a look." Gao Xiang said.
"You don't need to go for the time being. You have other things to do." Emperor Wen of Jin said to the people who had given the task, "Those who are under control, you have to tell them that the isolation is to prevent infection, not to give up on them.
Let them not panic. Even if they contract smallpox, they will not necessarily die."
Stabilizing the people's hearts is what He Yunxi mentioned.
When it comes to smallpox, everyone panics, and it is important to appease people. At the same time, it is said that the mortality rate of smallpox varies with different viruses, ranging from 10% to 30% to 40%.
The mortality rate is not yet known, so we don’t know what type of smallpox it is.
But no matter which type it is, you will not definitely die if you get smallpox.
The patient's mentality is also important.
Thinking of He Yunxi, he said to Gao Xiang: "Go to Chang'an County Lord's Palace to find Chang'an and discuss with her whether there is any medicine that can treat smallpox."
Gao Xiang thought, yes, there is no way to treat smallpox now, but the chief of Chang'an County has superb medical skills, maybe there is a way!
"Your Majesty, do you want to tell the head of Chang'an County about the smallpox outbreak in the capital?" Gao Xiang asked.
"She already knows."
ah?
"She discovered the smallpox incident and reported it."
Officials: Did the head of Chang'an County indirectly save their dog's head?
The smallpox outbreak in the capital has not completely broken out yet. If it is not discovered, once it breaks out later, many of them present will have to be held accountable.
Emperor Wen of Jin gave an order and everyone took action.
Wu Qi took people to Mule Street. As soon as the Jinyi Guards were dispatched, no one dared to hide anyone who had a fever or pox.
After all, this Jin Yiwei has a reputation of stopping children from crying, so he didn't want to be caught, so he cooperated obediently.
He Yu was also very fast. He quickly found several vacant yards for requisition. He felt that there were not enough and even requisitioned nearby inns.
Liang Wenbin led the Jinlin Guards to seal off Luozixi and several nearby streets, prohibiting entry and exit.
This fight has made many people panic.
In all these years, nothing like this has ever happened in the capital.
If they are not allowed to come out, what will happen to their lives?
Everyone was panicking, and then they saw a government servant pushing a lot of food in.
In fact, these foods are not much, but they show the attitude of the court.
The imperial court will not leave people like them alone. Even if they are locked up at home, they will bring food to their doorsteps.
Moreover, He Yu kept telling people that the court would not ignore them and that letting them stay at home was only temporary or something. In short, after a series of operations, the people's panic dropped.
It’s also good that you don’t have to go out to find work and you still have food to eat.
Moreover, the court also said that if they had jobs in their situation, their employers would not fire them.
So they really have nothing to worry about.
This series of measures appeased the people, but also shocked all the nobles, nobles and officials of the aristocratic families.
Smallpox appeared!
This news made everyone who heard it feel their breath tightening, but then they thought of the series of measures taken by the imperial court and felt inexplicably relieved.
If people can't get out, naturally smallpox can't get out either.
He Yunxi has been paying attention to this matter. When he heard Huang An talk about the measures on Mule Street, he had a deeper understanding of Emperor Wen of Jin's love for the people and his courage.
He is really a good emperor.
And the preventive measures she mentioned were also based on the experience of her previous life.
Smallpox is also very contagious. If it broke out in the capital, many people would die. Blockade and control can control the chain of transmission as soon as possible, so that things can be brought under control faster.
"Madam, Doctor Gao is here."
He Yunxi went to see him. When he saw her, he said directly: "Yunxi, the emperor ordered me to ask you if you have any prescription to treat smallpox."
"Mr. Gao, I have no way to treat smallpox this time." He Yunxi said, "We can only rely on them to survive."
"Is there nothing I can do?"
He Yunxi shook his head.
Even in this modern era of advanced medicine, there is no cure for smallpox, let alone now.
"The penicillin you studied before didn't work either?" Gao Xiang asked.
"no."
Penicillin treats diseases caused by bacteria, but smallpox is caused by a virus, and penicillin is useless against it.
Gao Xiang was a little disappointed. He thought He Yunxi could even develop such powerful penicillin, so why couldn't he treat smallpox?
"However, there is no cure for smallpox today, but it can be prevented." He Yunxi said.
