Chapter 217: Declaring War on Plague God

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Shouzheng led all the county officials and district chiefs and chiefs to Jiangnan Hospital and awarded the gold medals to Wanmizhai, Li Shizhen and Li Lunming, and their disciples also received the silver medals.

The doctors deserve it. In just over two months, Jiangnan Hospital treated work-related injuries for free, with more than 3,200 sick civilians, and effectively curbed the spread of several epidemics, providing strong guarantees for the county's victory in flood fighting.

After awarding the award, Zhao Shouzheng invited Li Shizhen, deputy director of Jiangnan Hospital and director of the Department of Epidemic Prevention, to report to everyone on the next stage of epidemic prevention plan.

As we all know, there was a major epidemic after the disaster, and no one could figure out why before. But with the help of a microscope, Jiangnan Hospital finally solved this problem.

Li Shizhen told everyone that the flood caused a large number of animals to die, and the garbage and feces wrapped around the flood could not be buried and treated in time. As well as drinking water was contaminated, the victims' drowning everywhere would breed a large number of pathogenic microorganisms, which would cause the rampant mosquitoes and rats to rush, which would cause the epidemic.

In addition, there is also schistosomiasis that has plagued Kunshan for many years, which will also take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive and thorough epidemic prevention treatment in Kunshan before the victims return.

In order to formulate a sixteen-character policy of "county government office leading, hospital guidance, national participation, and comprehensive epidemic prevention", it plans to launch a one-month "national epidemic prevention action", which is divided into five parts.

First, comprehensive environmental cleaning and disinfection must be carried out.

Flooded houses, streets and fields must be completely removed from silt, water accumulation is removed, potholes are filled, weeds are removed, and ditches are cleared.

Completely clean up garbage, animal corpses and feces, and carry out harmless treatments such as landfill and incineration. At the same time, kill insects, kill rats, and cut off the intermediate links of the spread of the disease.

The second is drinking water sanitation.

It is prohibited to drink raw water and avoid citing rivers and lakes as much as possible. All wells must be drained and silted, rinsed with clean water, washed the well walls and bottoms of the well, washed away all sewage, and then purified with alum, etc. before drinking.

Urination and defecation are prohibited everywhere to prevent polluted water sources. All human and animal feces are collected and cleaned in a timely manner to prevent polluted water sources and reduce the breeding of mosquitoes and flies.

The third is to establish an epidemic monitoring system.

All victims are required to report their fever or diarrhea in a timely manner, and their chief A must also report to the on-site doctor in a timely manner. After the doctor diagnoses the epidemic, he will concentrate his efforts to isolate and prevent and treat the epidemic, and kill the epidemic in the bud.

Fourth, strengthen epidemic prevention publicity and education for villagers.

Li Shizhen compiled a simple and catchy song about epidemic prevention, requiring all the villagers to remember and publicize them to the villagers every day.

In addition to promoting the above three points, the epidemic prevention song also educates the people to know that diseases come from their mouths, wash their hands before and after meals, and do not rinse their mouths, wash vegetables, wash dishes, etc. They will never eat moldy foods, and try not to eat raw and cold foods.

And the fifth point is to prevent big belly disease.

~~

Li Shizhen's speech was clearly decreed and was all practical. He was not as incitement as Zhao Erye. The officials and gentry in Kunshan County listened carefully to him for most of the hour and were inevitably distracted.

But when I heard the fifth point, I was shocked and became energetic.

Big belly disease is a chronic disease that has plagued Kunshan and even the entire Jiangnan water town for many years. After the flood every year, many people always die from this disease.

The patient first had weak constitution, weak limbs, pale face and thin muscles. Later, he had diarrhea and bloody stools, bulging belly, and finally died of despair due to no cure.

And what is even more terrifying is that as long as one person in the village gets sick, it will soon be infected and even endanger the entire village.

So in which village has a big belly disease, the man can’t get a wife, and the woman can’t get married, the whole village is like a ghost, which is very terrifying.

There is a song in southern Jiangsu saying, "Everyone is afraid of having a belly disease; a man's belly is like a pregnant woman, and a woman will not have a baby after marriage; if a girl does not marry a big belly, she will be poor and widowed." This is what this situation is said.

Therefore, I heard that this disease can be prevented, and the one who said this is Li Shizhen, a famous miracle doctor in the world. Can everyone present not be excited?

They started yelling.

"Doctor Li, can this disease really be prevented?"

"Then you are the living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and the suffering."

"We kowtowed to you." Many gentry who suffered a lot of suffering knelt down directly for Li Shizhen.

"All up, be quiet, it's so noisy." Li Shizhen was still so cool and serious. He only flattered Mr. Zhao in his life, and ignored the rest of his life, regardless of how high the official you are and how rich you are.

Everyone felt that this was the style that a miracle doctor should have. Not only did they not feel offended, but they were willing to accept it. They all stood up and shut up, and heard the miracle doctor Li say in a deep voice:

"Thank you Mr. Zhao, thank you for the power of science, for solving the mystery of this disease for the doctors." Li Shizhen first paid high respect to his boss and science.

Then he told everyone that the disease was not a plague, but a small insect called schistosomiasis.

Human and animal feces are the main source of Schistosomia eggs, while snails are the only intermediate hosts for Schistosomiasis transmission.

Therefore, first, we must prevent human and animal feces from contaminating water sources, and second, the whole nation mobilizes the elimination of snails to eliminate snails, which can eliminate schistosomiasis.

At the same time, it is necessary to protect susceptible people and plowing oxen, try to avoid contact with the epidemic water, and especially children are strictly prohibited from swimming and bathing in the epidemic water, and catching fish and shrimps.

Everyone quickly took out their small notebook and kept it in mind, for fear of missing a little.

~~

In the hospital ward, Pan Jixun sat on the bed and looked quietly outside the window with his second brother.

Pan Zhongqin was also a prefect, and he heard it incredible. When Li Shizhen finished the report and Zhao Shouzheng began to assign tasks, he finally couldn't help but ask the fourth brother:

"Since ancient times, county officials have not gone to the countryside. How can these gentry continue to convey such complex requirements? How can those casual villagers implement the rules?"

In the end, it will probably turn into a farce.

"I don't know if it's possible elsewhere," Pan Zhongcheng, who already regarded himself as half a Kunshan native, said confidently: "But Kunshan will definitely do it!"

"Why do you say this?" Pan Zhongqi became more and more confused when he saw the proud look on his younger brother's face.

"Because here, the whole place has the same desire and the whole heart is united; here is that magical boy and his Jiangnan company..." Pan Jixun said leisurely: "There is no impossible here, right place, and people are here."

"Oh..." Pan Zhongqiu nodded, naturally not doubting his younger brother's judgment. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Who can imagine that the soul figure in Kunshan is not Zhao County Magistrate, but his son?"

"The old senior is wrong. Of course, my father is the soul of the county." The ward door opened, and Zhao Hao walked in with a smile, holding a bouquet of golden chrysanthemums.

He came to the bedside and put the chrysanthemums in the vase.

There is no way, only chrysanthemums are still blooming this season. If it is a few months later, there will be plum blossoms.

Then Mr. Zhao took out an exquisite sandalwood box engraved with snow-white jade flowers and handed it to Pan Jixun.

Pan Jixun's first reaction was to refuse. In front of his second brother, he really didn't have any snacks.

But Zhao Hao insisted on letting him open it.

Pan Zhongcheng said in his heart, do whatever you want, I will eat it, what should I do?

I gritted my teeth and opened the box, but found that it was not a new type of cement or rare mineral, but a golden medal.
