Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1665, the idea of ​​establishing an epidemic prevention system
In Suzhou, the haze on the faces of Liu Jin and Wang Shouren finally disappeared, and they showed rare smiles.

Here in the isolation camp, a large number of patients with schistosomiasis improved rapidly after taking the medicine. This prescription is very miraculous. Both the Daming Medical College and the Daming Royal Medical College have nothing to do with schistosomiasis.

Unexpectedly, a prescription from Qizhou, Huguang could be effective in curing the schistosomiasis.

"Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Wang Shouren also breathed a sigh of relief. If the hundreds of thousands of patients with schistosomiasis were not treated with effective drugs, at least tens of thousands of people would die. If the situation was serious, more than [-] people might die.

This is an extremely terrible thing.

It's just a schistosomiasis, and it only broke out in Suzhou and Yangzhou, and its infectivity is not strong, as long as you don't touch the infected water, you won't be infected.

It would be even more terrifying if it were replaced by other highly contagious diseases.

You can think about the terrible scene of the Black Death that ravaged Europe that year and took away one-third of the population of Europe. Purgatory on earth, thousands of miles without cooking smoke, and cities turned into dead cities.

How terrible, how terrifying.

The ancient population has been unable to achieve effective growth. On the one hand, the productivity is low, and there is not enough food to feed a large enough population.

Another aspect is that it is related to medical conditions. Any casual illness is very likely to die, and any outbreak of some infectious disease is very likely to kill a large number of people. Coupled with unhealthy and unhygienic living and eating habits, Population growth was very slow.

"What is the name of the person who contributed this recipe?"

Liu Jin thought about it carefully, and asked after thinking about it.

"It's a bell doctor named Li Yanwen in Qizhou, Huguang."

Li Anyuan quickly replied.

"Doctor Bell?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was immediately puzzled.

"It's the kind of quack doctor who goes from village to household."

Li Anyuan quickly added.

"Quack doctor?"

"I didn't expect that the things that we all had no choice but to be solved by a quack doctor."

"An order was sent to Huguang's political envoy that the reward of one hundred thousand taels of silver must be handed over to him, and he must also be highly praised."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin ordered.

The agreed one hundred thousand taels is one hundred thousand taels, and a lot of money must be handed over to Li Yanwen. This matter is published in newspapers to let the whole world know, and it is also a matter related to the prestige of the court.

"Professor Li, do you need any precious medicinal materials for this recipe?"

"If necessary, I can transfer and purchase from my side."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin asked again, if the prescription is effective, it should be implemented in Suyang and Yangzhou as soon as possible to reduce death and loss. As for money, the imperial court has plenty of money now.

"No need, they are some very common medicinal materials, and the funds are sufficient."

"Actually, after all, there is still a surplus of funds. The medicinal materials used in this recipe are all common medicinal materials, and they are not expensive."

"I guess it's Li Yanwen who collects herbs and treats diseases everywhere, and then slowly sums up the prescriptions he found."

"Although there are many swindlers who go from village to village, there are also some who are really talented and have superb medical skills."

"Moreover, the prescriptions or treatment methods they prescribe are often very simple and effective. A few dozen or a hundred Wen is enough, and sometimes even a few Wen is enough."

Li Anyuan shook his head slightly.

"That's fine, that's fine~"

"My Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. On the one hand, we must constantly learn from the experience and medical skills of our predecessors. On the other hand, we must continue to forge ahead, specialize in new medical techniques and prescriptions, and study various emerging diseases. Only in this way can we Carry on."

After Liu Jin listened, he also nodded.

This reminded Liu Jin of the medical system and system of later generations. He blindly believed in Western medicine, and many people even thought that Chinese medicine was a lie.

Western medicine is popular, Chinese medicine is getting more and more withered, and even few people go to learn Chinese medicine.

Although there are many good things about Chinese medicine, it has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is definitely not a superstition. Instead, it has its complete theories, related medical techniques, prescriptions, etc.

The most important thing is that traditional Chinese medicine has been very close to the people since ancient times, because the medicinal materials used in the prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine are basically local materials, and the cost of collecting herbs from mountains and rivers to treat diseases is not high. It doesn't need to cost a lot.

However, Western medicine, the people of later generations have already tasted the bitter fruit of Western medicine, the price is high, and the system is extremely bad. Once you enter the hospital, you don’t do anything. First, you will come to a whole set of various examinations, which can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. The bucks are gone.

When you get to the doctor's side, he will take a casual look, and he will prescribe you a lot of medicines. Don't even think about getting out of the hospital without thousands of dollars.

Medical care is like a heavy mountain weighing heavily on the common people.

So Liu Jin really didn't want such things to continue to happen to Daming people.

A large amount of money was spent to establish the Daming Medical College, the purpose of which is to train medical practitioners, research new medical methods and medicines, etc., and at the same time systematically organize and form a system of Chinese medicine technology, which is convenient for teaching and management and development.

The purpose is to allow Daming people to enjoy relatively cheap medical care, and at the same time improve the health care level of Daming people.

The medical conditions during this period were really poor.

"I understand that the philosophy of our Daming Medical College has always been the same, to train medical talents, research medical technology and medicine, and protect the health of our Daming people."

Li Anyuan listened carefully and replied solemnly.

To be honest, compared with later generations, doctors in this period still pay more attention to medical ethics. Medical skills must be superb, and more importantly, they must be virtuous, and they should not only value money.

Reputation is very important, especially for those who practice medicine. If the medical ethics are not good, people will poke the spine.

"Return to your side to write a detailed epidemic prevention and control plan and plan, and I will report to the emperor."

"Similar to today's epidemic situation, it will definitely appear after my Ming Dynasty. We have to formulate a complete set of perfect systems."

"From how to prevent the epidemic, to how to control the epidemic, and then to who is responsible for the government after the outbreak, the use and allocation of epidemic prevention funds, etc."

"We must formulate a comprehensive epidemic prevention system, and then implement it to the whole world, requiring local governments to implement it seriously, so that even if an epidemic occurs in the future, we can deal with it with ease."

Liu Jin thought about it and said.

Such things as epidemics have existed since ancient times. Even in later generations, when science and technology have been very developed, various epidemics will break out from time to time.

Moreover, with the development of globalization, the exchanges between different places have become closer, the flow of population, the circulation of goods and goods, various diseases have emerged one after another, and spread rapidly around the world.

Faced with such a situation, countries around the world have established complete response mechanisms for prevention, control and treatment.

Now the challenges that Ming Dynasty has to face are not only from the powerful countries and civilizations that may rise from all over the world, but also from various invisible diseases.

Improving medical technology is important.

But it is also very important to establish a sound epidemic prevention mechanism. A good mechanism can effectively control the epidemic, prevent its spread, and protect people's safety.

Now the medical technology of Daming has achieved rapid development under the leadership of Daming Medical College and Daming Royal Medical College.

However, in terms of system construction, there is no perfect epidemic prevention mechanism.

Relatively speaking, the government has no such awareness, and there are no corresponding measures and regulations. When things happen, they are often at a loss, and even conceal and lie about the epidemic situation for their own black hats.

Like Suzhou this time, the prefect of Suzhou already knew that there were a large number of patients in Suzhou, but he didn't care about it at all, and he didn't ask about it, so that it slowly accumulated and formed an epidemic. Man infected with schistosomiasis.

"It is indeed necessary to formulate a comprehensive coping mechanism. This time there was a large outbreak of schistosomiasis in Suyang and Yangzhou. My feeling is that we currently lack the experience and methods to deal with it."

"Plagues have existed since ancient times, and there will definitely be ones in the future. Now the population of cities is increasing, and the population is getting denser. If there is no perfect mechanism, it will definitely not work. Once it appears, it will be impossible." Something big is going to happen."

After Wang Shouren listened, he thought about it and nodded solemnly.

He is the chief political envoy of Nanzhili. He didn't even know that such a major event happened in Suzhou and Yangzhou. It was Liu Jin who informed him. After coming here, everything was arranged by Liu Jin. He felt that he really It's a little overwhelmed, not knowing how to deal with it.

"Yes, I will summarize in detail later, and write out a solution. As for how the government should do it, it is up to you, Mr. Liu."

After Li Anyuan listened, he solemnly nodded and agreed.

He is the most authoritative person in Ming Dynasty in terms of epidemic prevention. He is undoubtedly the most authoritative in terms of technology and epidemic prevention. It must be more scientific to have him write relevant epidemic prevention system manuals and systems.

As for the matter on the government's side, he couldn't think about it, and he still wanted Liu Jin to come here.

Such as the division of responsibilities, the allocation and use of funds, how much manpower and material resources to use, the level of epidemic prevention, and related notification and reporting systems, etc., these are all things designed by the government. How to operate it is ultimately up to Liu Jin to formulate according to the existing system of Ming Dynasty.
