Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 304

"Brother Fang. How did Datang deal with the epidemic!"

In Dunhuafang, Li You has been asking about the prevention and treatment of the epidemic all this time, and Fang Yizhi is the one who explained Li You's doubts.

What shocked Li You was that Datang's epidemic prevention was really not that simple at this time, because since Zhenguan, Datang has encountered epidemics three times.

In the 15th year of Zhenguan, there was a great epidemic in the east of Guannei; in March of the 16th year of Zhenguan, there was an epidemic in Zezhou;

There are countless deaths from these epidemics. As an emperor who loves the people like his son, Li Shimin is of course the most anxious. Li Shimin is a good emperor who cares about the health of the people. He personally made a formula called Guangji Fang, which is a special treatment A good recipe for epidemic prevention and control.

But after the recipe was posted, Li Shimin still felt uneasy, what if someone couldn't see it, or forgot after seeing it?So he hurriedly issued another edict:
The Guangji Prescription written by the author, saving people from illnesses, has been promulgated for a long time, and there are many traditions. I am worried about poor families and cannot write it down.In Lu Pavilion, there may be unknown.When the medical treatment was paid, it was due to death.

The opportunity of life, rather than forgetting compassion, should order the magistrates of the prefectures and counties to record those who are important in Guangji Fang on the big board, and list them as the main roads in the village.Still commissioned to interview and envoy activities.No mistakes.The general idea is that in order to allow more people to see this Guangji prescription, officials from all over the country must engrave the contents of the prescription on the wooden boards beside the road in detail, no matter in the countryside or in the city, to remind the people to prevent epidemics at all times.

In addition to these, Li Shimin also paid special attention to the prevention and control of infectious diseases, sent doctors and medicines, issued an imperial edict to reduce or exempt household taxes, and explicitly asked local officials to deal with unattended corpses to prevent re-infection.

Sun Simiao also mentioned about water purification.

This method is actually very simple. Sink the prepared medicinal materials into the well to improve water quality and prevent and control diseases.He said: If one person drinks, the whole family will be free from disease; if one family drinks, one mile will be free from disease.If you drink medicine and wine, you can return it to the well during the three dynasties, and you can still drink it every year, and you can be disease-free in the world.When there are wells inside and outside the house, all of them are filled with medicines to ward off warm air.

In addition, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, it was already clear how to prevent and control the epidemic, the most important thing was isolation and burial.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty already understood that corpses are the most important carrier for viruses and bacteria to proliferate in large numbers, and disposing of corpses is also an important channel to cut off the epidemic.

If a person dies and is not buried in time and thrown into the field, germs can easily be passed on to living people.Therefore, the government attaches great importance to the burial of corpses. In case of major disasters and epidemics, there is generally a practice of burying and isolating the corpses of the dead.

Followed by quarantine, starting a charity organization

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, there even appeared "square cabin hospitals". Temple medicine in the Tang Dynasty was very prosperous, and monks opened beggars' recuperation workshops to isolate and treat sick people.

In addition, in the Tang Dynasty, there was also an institution called the suffering workshop in the palace city of the two capitals.Many sick palace ladies were concentrated here for isolation and centralized treatment.

In the beginning, Li You was going to tell the people of Tang Dynasty about his advanced epidemic prevention knowledge, but now it seems that the people of Tang Dynasty's epidemic prevention knowledge is no worse than modern ones, so this really made Li You feel at ease.

Chatting with Fang Yizhi during this period, Li You also knew Fang Yizhi's talent, and directly took Fang Yizhi as his confidant.

With Li You's protection, Fang Yizhi also felt safe. Fang Xuanling also specially asked Li You to have a narration alone, expressing his gratitude to Li You. After all, there are really not many people who are willing to help their eldest son.

In this way, two days later, when Li You was still a few days away from going to modern times, the temperature in Chang'an finally dropped on this day, but on this day, another incredible event made the already quiet Ganlu Palace , again overcrowded.

Originally, today is one of the most ordinary mornings in Chang'an. Every morning, the melodious sound of dawn drums will sound in Chang'an City, waking up this sleeping international metropolis.

The first drum is sounded from Chengtian Gate, the main gate of Taiji Palace, and then the bells and drums in various streets, workshops and monasteries will be remembered one by one. This is where the work will begin.

With the sound of bells and drums, the gates of the imperial palace, the gates of each square, and of course the gates of Chang'an City will be opened one by one, and tourists from outside the city can finally enter in a single file.

There are not many people entering the city in the morning, so it is not a problem to see the street view on the main street of Chang'an City, but if you want to eat breakfast, there is no one on the main street.

Although there is no place to eat breakfast on the main street, as long as you walk into the "shop", you can see all kinds of breakfast stalls. There are all kinds of local delicacies, which can fully satisfy your stomach and taste buds. .

But just when a group of people and travelers were about to enter the workshop for breakfast, suddenly, a fast horse rushed in from Mingde Gate. Seeing the sudden approach of a fast horse, Chang'an city guards wanted to stop it.

But at this time, a flag appeared on the fast horse. This flag was the flag of the eight hundred li urgent report. : "Xiangzhou [-]-mile rush, big epidemic, big epidemic, big epidemic in Xiangzhou!"

A big epidemic, directly frightened everyone who heard it on the spot.

"Xiangzhou [-] miles, hurry up, big epidemic, big epidemic, big epidemic in Xiangzhou!" Ajie didn't get off his horse for three days, and finally let him come to Chang'an, only to hear Ajie waving the flag in his hand and shouting: "Xiangzhou big epidemic!" The eight hundred miles of the state is urgent, a big epidemic, a big epidemic, a big epidemic in Xiangzhou!"

You must know that at this time, Ajie is already shouting with his own will, and he has no strength in his whole body.

Just after rushing into Chang'an, after shouting less than ten times, Ajie couldn't hold on any longer, and fell off the horse directly, his head hit the marble of Chang'an, bleeding profusely.

And Ajie was still yelling weakly: "Xiangzhou [-] miles, hurry up, big epidemic, big epidemic, Xiangzhou big epidemic!"

Finally at this time, another fast horse came behind him. This was the soldier who had just guarded the city gate. He directly held Ajie's flag in his hand, but Ajie held the flag firmly in his hand. At this time, the soldier guarding the city gate said to Ajie: "Brother, it's hard work, I will help you finish it later.!"

Finally, Ajie slowly let go of his hands.

As soon as the flag was in his hands, the soldier guarding the city gate shouted on a fast horse: "Xiangzhou [-] miles, hurry up, big epidemic, big epidemic, big epidemic in Xiangzhou!"

After hearing someone shouting, "Hurry up at eight hundred miles in Xiangzhou, a big epidemic, a big epidemic, a big epidemic in Xiangzhou!" After that, Ajie passed out, and later soldiers rescued Ajie.

But after Ajie was rescued, he was immediately quarantined, so all the soldiers who had contact with him were also quarantined. This is Datang's epidemic prevention guidelines, which are very effective and rigorous.
