Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1664, a good recipe under the reward
"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper!"

"The epidemic in the Jiangnan area has been found out. It is an infectious disease caused by schistosomiasis."

"The main route of transmission of the disease is contact with polluted water sources containing schistosomiasis, so there is no need to panic and worry too much."

"There is no blockade in Suzhou and Yangzhou. All life is normal and prices are stable."

"The imperial court offered a reward of [-] taels of silver to solicit a cure for schistosomiasis, with pathological symptoms related to schistosomiasis."

Soon, with the arrival of a new day, among the major cities of Daming, the Daming Daily began to report in detail the situation of the Jiangnan epidemic.

The first thing is to tell everyone that this epidemic has been brought under control, and the relevant etiology and mode of transmission have been found out.

Please rest assured that the epidemic will not spread, nor will it spread indiscriminately. This is called stabilizing people's hearts. Let everyone not panic or be afraid. I believe that the imperial court can quickly control the epidemic.

The next step is to clarify the ways and means of schistosomiasis infection, and require Suzhou and Yangzhou to eradicate snails on a large scale, control pollution sources, and cut off transmission channels.

Then, we will publicize the importance of a healthy life in detail, and advocate the separation of humans and animals when raising livestock, and at the same time manage manure and water, and do not discharge it into rivers and fields at will.

It is recommended that everyone drink boiled water as much as possible, not unboiled water, let alone water from rivers.

Then he offered sky-high rewards to the whole world to solicit the cure, and requested the cooperation of local governments to send the cure to Jiangnan as soon as possible by telegram, because hundreds of thousands of people here were infected with schistosomiasis and were waiting for treatment.

In the end, the governments and residents in various places are also required to pay special attention to the elimination of oncomelania, regularly clean up the oncomelania, and bury the salvaged oncomelania in a centralized manner to eliminate the main source of infection of schistosomiasis and protect people's health and safety.

Through telegrams and newspapers, people's hearts were quickly stabilized.

Originally, because Songhu was very close to Suzhou and Yangzhou, the outbreak of the epidemic in Suyang also caused panic in Songhu, so that production and life were greatly affected.

Now that the newspaper is published, the entire Songhu area has also become more stable.

Everyone is relieved, there is nothing wrong with it.

As long as you don't come into contact with polluted water, you'll be fine, and there are many factories in Songhu, and everyone is basically working in the factories, so naturally you don't have to worry about this.

As for drinking boiled water, it has gradually become popular in the city. A pot of hot water in a cooked water room costs only two copper coins, which is completely affordable for the Ming people in the city.

It will not be transmitted through the air, and everyone does not need to worry about anything.

Moreover, although there are a few people in Songhu infected with schistosomiasis, the number is small, and there is also a Songhu branch run by Daming Medical College in Songhu, and the doctors in it are all serious graduates from Daming Medical College the doctor.

They all have systematic and professional training in this area, can quickly control the epidemic, and carry out separate isolation to ensure safety.

People's hearts quickly settled down, and life continued, and even Yangzhou and Suzhou quickly stabilized.

Under the organization of the local governments, the gentry, landlords, and family elders of the two places took the lead, and all localities also quickly began to clean up the snails in the fields and countryside.

Many people used to eat the snails, but now they are scared to death when they see the snails. A large number of snails are salvaged, dug a hole, sprinkled with quicklime and buried directly.

At the same time, a large amount of quicklime is sprinkled in ditches, rural fields and other places for disinfection, and manure and water discharged into rivers and fields are managed, septic tanks are built, and boiling water is advocated.

This series of measures was quickly implemented under the arrangement of Liu Jin and Wang Shouren.

Officials in Yangzhou and Suzhou are still trembling. If such a major event happens, the higher authorities will definitely ask them to be held accountable.

It doesn't matter whether you can keep the black hat, the key is to keep your own life.

What's more, the person who came here to sit in the town is Liu Jin. This guy is famous for his action and hard work. He has always been experienced in doing things. If you procrastinate, he can directly push you to the end with his current power. Of course, if If you perform well, he can also let you go straight to the sky.

The epidemic was also quickly brought under control, and the number of new cases in various places quickly decreased significantly, which also gave Wang Shouren and Liu Jin a sigh of relief.

The most feared thing about the epidemic is that it cannot be controlled. As long as it can be controlled, everything is easy to say.

Liu Jinna was also very worried.

This era is no better than later generations, and all aspects of medical technology have been extremely advanced.

This is still an extremely backward era, and now with global colonization and global trade, various diseases can easily spread to Ming Dynasty.

Meanwhile, the urbanization of Daming is going on, and the scale of each city is getting bigger and bigger, and the population is getting more and more.

If there is a terrible plague similar to the Black Death in Europe, it will be really bad, and it is not known how many people will die.

Liu Jin has always attached great importance to the development of medicine, established the Daming Medical College, and called famous doctors from all over the world as professors to conduct specialized and systematic research.

It's not to ensure Daming's safety.

You must know that even in later generations, when encountering a new type of infectious disease, the number of deaths is still very high, let alone the Ming Dynasty in this period.

The limited scale of ancient cities was not only due to the backwardness of productivity, but more importantly, the threat of infectious diseases.

Suzhou, the temporary isolation place, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren came here again to check their condition.

Because there is no good way to treat schistosomiasis, once you get sick, you can only survive on your own.

"Have you not collected a good prescription yet?"

Wang Shouren looked at Li Anyuan who hurried over and asked.

"There are a lot of various prescriptions collected, there are hundreds of them, but most of them are similar prescriptions, and our medical school also has them, which are not very useful."

"There are still some that are purely for defrauding money, and the recipes and methods can be seen at a glance."

Li Anyuan shook his head slightly and said.

There is an old saying that under a great reward there must be a brave man. Now Liu Jin has issued a great reward to collect good prescriptions, and many doctors from all over the country responded. Various prescriptions are constantly gathered here in Suzhou, and finally gathered in the hands of Li Anyuan.

"If this goes on like this, hundreds of thousands of people will be infected, and schistosomiasis is common in the whole south. If we can't find a cure, we don't know how many people will die from schistosomiasis in the future."

When Liu Jin heard this, he also frowned.

After thinking about it, he said, "I'll increase the reward, but thirty thousand taels of silver is not enough, so I'll give one hundred thousand taels of silver!"

As long as a cure for schistosomiasis can be collected, one hundred thousand taels of silver is worth it in Liu Jin's opinion.

"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper~"

"The imperial court collects good prescriptions to treat schistosomiasis, and the reward is increased from [-] taels to [-] taels!"

Soon, the Daming Morning Post once again offered a reward to Quan Daming for a good prescription, which also made countless people jealous.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is definitely an astronomical figure for ordinary people, almost equivalent to a small goal for future generations.

The news spread across Daming at an unimaginable speed, and countless people were discussing this matter.

A small town in Qizhou, Huguang.

Li Yanwen came to the small town with a medical kit on his back, planning to have a meal here, and then continue to practice medicine in various villages.

He is a "bell doctor" who travels from village to household. Because he holds a flag with a bell on it, there are recruitments such as "Miaoshouhuichun" and "white cure for all diseases", so there is a "bell doctor" Say.

To put it bluntly, they are actually quack doctors, because most of these doctors who walk in the rivers and lakes have no medical skills and make a living by cheating and abducting, so "Doctor Ling" is also a low-ranking doctor, extremely looked down upon by others, and No social status.

But Li Yanwen was different. His family practiced medicine in his family, and he was considered a family of medicine.

Therefore, he is still very famous in the Qizhou area, and many people have been treated by him. He also relies on practicing medicine while constantly summarizing, accumulating experience, and improving his medical skills.

"Doctor Li ~ Doctor Li."

"Hurry up and take a look. There is a big epidemic here in the south of the Yangtze River. The imperial court is offering a reward of [-] taels of silver to collect a good prescription. You can see if you have any good prescriptions here. You can tell the government. If it is really useful If so, then there will be a reward of one hundred thousand taels of silver."

"You can open a medical clinic by yourself, and you don't have to travel around to practice medicine like you do now."

Someone saw Li Yanwen, and hurriedly said enthusiastically.

Li Yan heard that his medical skills are good, and many people in Qizhou have been treated by him, so everyone knows him.

"Yeah, what kind of epidemic is it?"

Hearing this, Li Yan immediately regained his energy. He has been traveling in various places for many years, so the news was not good. As a result, he read the newspaper carefully. When he saw the illness described in it, his eyes lit up.

"Schistosomiasis, it turns out that this disease is called schistosomiasis, and it can be observed with any microscope."

"The treatment of this disease is not difficult. I have cured many people with the prescriptions I have developed."

Then Li Yanwen took the attitude of giving it a try, and submitted a prescription he had researched through the government. Naturally, the Qizhou government immediately cooperated and sent the prescription quickly by telegram. Then send it to Suzhou.

"It's a miracle, this prescription has a miraculous effect on treating schistosomiasis!"

"Qizhou Li Yanwen!"

The prescription arrived at Li Anyuan's side, and soon, after some experiments, Li Anyuan was surprised to find that this prescription had a miraculous effect on treating schistosomiasis, and his whole body cheered up.
