Chapter 183: Seeing Causes and Fruits to Fight the Plague, Bai Fan Goes Northward Again

In Zhongnan Academy, Sun Simiao urgently found Bai Fan!
"What did you say? Plague? Plague appeared in the north?

How can it be?It's still winter, the weather is cold, and the bacteria grow slowly. How could there be a plague? " Bai Fan asked puzzledly.

Sun Simiao has studied the medical books in the library for a year, so he knows a thing or two about bacteria, "Junior brother, it is absolutely true! This is the news from the northern Taoist sect. There was a severe snowstorm in the northern land this year, and cattle and sheep froze to death." Very many, in the past few days in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, cattle and sheep have died of illness for some reason. No one has been infected yet, but it is very dangerous!

Moreover, the occurrence of the plague is not directly related to the temperature. Zhang Zhongjing of the Han Dynasty said in "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" that typhoid fever does not only refer to exogenous fever, but also includes severe infectious diseases! "

Only then did Bai Fan think of this. Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty said in the preface of his book "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" that "there are many clans of Yu, and there are two hundred of them. Two-thirds of them died, and typhoid fever accounted for seven out of ten. Feeling the loss of the past, and the hopelessness of wounding, I am diligently seeking ancient teachings and learning from all sides..."

The general idea of ​​this passage is that among the two-thirds of the dead in Zhang Zhongjing's family, seven out of ten died of typhoid fever, so he diligently sought ancient teachings, learned from all sources, and finally became a generation of medical sages who left a masterpiece of good prescriptions !
"Why doesn't the court know about this?" Bai Fan asked.

"That's why the old Taoist came here. It's been almost ten days since we received the message from the Northland. The disease came as soon as it was said, and I don't know what's going on there, so the old Taoist has to go there first!

The imperial court is paying attention to the snow disaster and food, so no one will pay attention to these problems. Besides, the plague in winter is usually a matter of the grassland, but this year the grassland is surprisingly quiet!

The old Taoist would like to ask you to go to the imperial court to remind His Majesty to pay attention to this matter. I will go there first. If there is a plague, you should prepare the logistics here. This is a matter of human life, so don’t be careless! "Sun Simiao said solemnly.

Bai Fan bowed and said, "Brother Sun has a heart to help the world, and my younger brother will do his best to help. If there is anything wrong with the Northland, please inform my younger brother immediately. My younger brother is also a practitioner of medicine, so I must go to help you!"

Bai Fan, who had just stabilized various businesses and returned to the academy without resting for a few days, brought his family back to the Marquis' Mansion in Chang'an City again!
Without delay, come to the palace immediately!

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

In the Palace of Political Affairs, Li Er was discussing military plans with several confidantes, civil and military, and he didn't care when he was interrupted by Bai Fan's request to see him. After all, Bai Fan was not an outsider, and although he was not a courtier, what he did was not ordinary!

"What's the matter? Tell me! It just so happens that today we are discussing the issue of doing wool business with Jieli in the coming year, and you will also be a consultant later!"

Bai Fan said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I wonder if there is any news from the north?

Brother Sun Simiao said just now that signs of plague have been found at the North Tunnel Gate!

In the northern edge of the Tang Dynasty, cattle and sheep died of inexplicable illnesses, so it was very dangerous. Senior Brother Sun had already rushed there, and the minister came to report the matter! "

Changsun Wuji stood up at once, "Da Lang is serious? Is it a plague?"

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire Yizheng Hall was tense!
"I don't know yet, the news has been out for ten days!
It is only said that cattle and sheep died of illness for no reason, and no common people have been found to be sick! " Bai Fan replied.

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "Da Lang, if you don't raise livestock, you don't know that a large number of livestock died of illness for no reason, this is the precursor of the outbreak of the plague!
If it weren't for the human plague that erupted directly due to the careless handling of corpses on the battlefield, other types of plagues often start with livestock first. Faced with such a situation, the corpses of livestock can only be burned or buried. There will be a possibility of human beings getting sick! "

Everyone heard the seriousness of the matter, Li Er shouted, "Come on, quickly send people to the north to investigate, is there any abnormality of animal disease?"

The servant Gao hurried out to make arrangements, but came back in a panic after a while, "Your Majesty, urgent report from the Northland! Urgent report at [-] li!"

Bai Fanxin said, it's over, what are you afraid of?
Those who came in with Lao Gao were two Hongling messengers!
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Shengzhou. The plague is coming from the north. First, the livestock died, and now some people are already sick!"

"Your Majesty, Yunzhou, Yunzhou urgent report, like Shengzhou, there is a plague!"

Bai Fanxin said, poor Yunzhou, next to Turkic Grassland, there are all kinds of misfortunes and misfortunes!
Li Er quickly opened the secret report, and after reading it, he sat back on the chair weakly!
How could this be so? After reading the secret report, everyone had doubts in their hearts!

Bai Fan took the secret letter and after reading it, he realized that it was all caused by Grassland Jieli. He threw all the sick and dead livestock to the border of Tang Dynasty, and even drove the powerless old and weak here to fend for themselves!
The Tang Dynasty was unprepared at the beginning. The dying old and the weak turned sick and dead livestock into meat and sold them cheaply in order to survive. The people were greedy for small profits, which eventually led to the spread of the plague!

After the local garrison general found out, he immediately ordered the arrest of these people. After some torture, he found out that the truth of the matter had something to do with Datang!
Li Er also didn't expect that his plot against the Turks would force Jie Liyu to die, and bring out such a lifeless thing to harm Datang.

"Your Majesty, disaster relief is the most important thing right now. Before the plague spreads significantly, we must wipe it out in the north. The weather is cold now, but the plague spreads slowly. Once it is delayed until the beginning of spring, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Bai Bai Van broke the silence by speaking!

All the ministers seconded one after another!

"My dear friends, what's the best way to deal with the plague?"

Bai Fan was the first to speak, and he didn't care about his seniority at this time, "Your Majesty, I have a plan to cure the plague, but it needs the cooperation of the court's decree, just like the emergency plan for drought relief before, this time it is the epidemic prevention plan compiled by the minister. !"

Fang Xuanling praised, "Good boy, it seems that you have prepared everything in advance, is there anything you don't know?"

Bai Fan laughed, "Fan is also a doctor, so he has some experience in saving people and treating diseases!

His Majesty!Brother Sun has already gone north for disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and the imperial court needs to mobilize full cooperation!
From the equipment and clothes for epidemic prevention, to various medicines for treatment and disinfection, there is no complete logistics, and the last thing we face is killing and burning.
Your Majesty is requested to personally be the logistics commander for this epidemic prevention. I am willing to go to the Northland, and I will definitely wipe out the plague on the border before the spring begins! "

Seeing that Bai Fan had the courage to speak so righteously, Li Er shouted, "I'm sure! This time to prevent and save people from the epidemic, Bai Fan is the commander in chief of the Northern Territory, and I will oversee all logistical matters!
Dear dear friends, there is another catastrophe during the New Year's Eve, I beg you all! "

"I dare you not to die!"

In the end, according to a series of lists made by Bai Fan, the ministers split up to prepare everything, and Governor Li Jing and his troops from all walks of life strictly escorted the relief supplies!
And when Bai Fan went north to fight the plague, Changsun Wuji offered to go north together as his deputy, which moved Bai Fan for a while, and gave him a new understanding of the views of this famous old fox!

Before Bai Fan left, he bid farewell to his family and relatives, and specifically told Li Wanping, "I will come back safely, don't think about it and do stupid things again!"

Li Wanping's face blushed instantly when she thought of what happened before!
This time Bai Fan went north again, although Zhang Qi was not there as a guard, but there was a more powerful one, and that was Li Yuanba!Immortal Ziyang instructed Yuanba to learn from his uncle Bai Fan from then on, and Bai Fan has the final say on when to become a teacher!
