Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 196 Epidemic
"I want some money, and some power!"

Zhao Dezhao cried poorly and was seen through, so he had no choice but to speak directly.

"I don't want money! I don't want power. Now you have enough power, and it's useless to ask for more."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while, and recently Zhao Dezhao handed in a large amount of tea, which was worth tens of millions.

This kid is very cunning, if he really has no money, it is impossible not to keep some for himself.

During this period of time, his son has been doing better and smoother, and has achieved a lot. On the contrary, his brother Zhao Guangyi has repeatedly made mistakes and failed to do anything serious.

Balancing the two, Zhao Kuangyin felt that he should give his son a little sweetness and encourage him to continue to work hard.

"These people are still prisoners after all. Since someone can bypass your control, it means that there is a problem with security. King Jin, you Shuntian Mansion immediately send [-] soldiers to King Qi to strengthen the security of the Imperial Grain Station."

"This... yes! I obey the order!"

"Today, I won't bother with you about the prisoner making trouble in the prison. If there are incomplete research and other things wronged, you will look good."

Zhao Guangyi's heart ached, but Brother Huang hadn't spoken so harshly to him in several years.

It was all caused by Zhao Dezhao's changes.

Now that Zhao Dezhao is pressing on every step of the way, he has no way to retreat, the Holy Majesty has actually dispersed all the military power, and wants to give him a thousand soldiers, but he has no choice.

After the court, Zhao Guangyi was extremely depressed.

The trust in front of the emperor's brother is gradually disappearing, and the courtiers' views on themselves must also be gradually changing.

Zhao Guangyi was hit hard and was depressed for several days.

……

Day by day, the [-] mu of experimental fields were all sown. With the arrival of [-] soldiers, the prisoners became more honest.

Now even Wang Jixun has joined the ranks of working hard and eating meat and white steamed buns.

Zhao Dezhao observes the growth of the rice seeds every day. The fertilizer is very effective, and it is estimated that it will mature in one and a half months.

He was very happy, but because the weather was getting hotter, the disease was discovered in the village near the rice fields on the west side of the city.

The news came from Wang Zixing.

Because food and vegetables are all settled from neighboring villages, Wang Zixing had a lot of dealings with there, and the epidemic was discovered that day.

Three days ago there were only four or five people. Today, there were suddenly dozens of people.

Wang Zixing waved his hands and walked in front of Zhao Dezhao: "Your Highness! Now that the epidemic has broken out, I think that I can't be lenient. It's better to lock up these people, put them under closed management, and let them fend for themselves, lest they infect others."

Zhao Dezhao shook his head, "At this time, so many people are staring at us. Even if we ask for a little money or supplies, we will be immediately dismissed as useless. You are not treating the infected people like this. You are not handing over to the other party. gun!"

Wang Zixing frowned: "Then what to do! Some people have already said that it was you who made mistakes and acted against the heavens, which caused the punishment of heaven and caused the epidemic to appear. If you can't even control the spread, and you are so close, We're going to have more trouble here."

Zhao Dezhao frowned and said, "What kind of disease is it? Tell me about it."

So Wang Zixing told him the characteristics of the epidemic.

When Zhao Dezhao heard his description, he felt a little familiar.

Infected people are exposed skin on hands, feet, head and neck, herpes, and then suppuration, ulceration, and even necrosis.

Isn't this...a symptom of anthrax?

Zhao Dezhao's eyes lit up, other illnesses are fine, if it is this kind of illness, then he should be able to treat it.

"Go! Let's go and see! I want to confirm it with my own eyes."

"Your Highness! No! This is a contagious disease. If you too..." Wang Zixing was taken aback. His Highness was too aggressive. He rushed to find the disease. Do you want to be infected?

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!"

Zhao Dezhao came to the neighboring village and looked at the sick people from a distance. The symptoms were basically confirmed, it was anthrax.

"Zixing! You can still be saved! You ask Shi Yuanliang to lead [-] soldiers to guard this place firmly, and no one is allowed to go out! I will send people to get mugwort leaves and lime powder, and you will mix them together and burn them outside the village. The ashes covered the people's urination and defecation."

After Zhao Dezhao gave Wang Zixing instructions, he hurried back to Qi Wangfu immediately.

He remembered that the treatment of anthrax is actually not complicated. The first thing to do is to disinfect and stop the spread.

Then as long as you wash it with medicine, you can slowly recover.

Although there are no good drugs in this era, there is one thing that is better than in the previous life, that is, people today are far less resistant to drugs than in the previous life.

In other words, a very small dose of medicine may cure the disease.

Zhao Dezhao has already experienced this.

Seeing him returning home in a hurry, Wang Xiuzhi got busy without eating, and asked him what happened.

Zhao Dezhao told him that there was an epidemic of skin disease in the village near the paddy field, and it was still an infectious disease.

When Wang Xiuzhi heard that it was so close to the rice fields, he also became anxious.

"This disease is nothing, I can cure it! You go and get some more caustic soda, and then find some oil."

Wang Xiuzhi was surprised when he heard that he could cure diseases.

But now is not the time for curiosity to find things.

Zhao Dezhao started to make soapy water.

Disinfection and cleaning are the ways to cure anthrax in this era. Of course, the disinfectant must be soapy water rich in therapeutic effects.

Zhao Dezhao had read time-travel novels before and knew how to make soap.

But this time it is simpler, just make soapy water directly.

First add caustic soda and water to make lye, then add oil and flowers, heat the cauldron and keep stirring.

After a quarter of an hour, let it cool down.

This is suds.

If it is cooled and cut into soap shapes, it is soap.

Suds are enough for now though.

Zhao Dezhao first washed it with soapy water and his wife, and then got a vaccination.

Then he ordered people to bring wooden barrels, filled several barrels with boiled soapy water, and sent them to Wang Zixing.

Wang Xiuzhi wanted to follow, but Zhao Dezhao asked her to stay and continue looking for caustic soda, add oil, and continue cooking soapy water.

"That's not enough. There are many people in the village, so we need to burn more."

Zhao Dezhao personally escorted the soapy water to the village.

Shi Yuanliang was guarding there with troops, strictly following Zhao Dezhao's order, allowing people to enter and not leaving.

"Your Highness! This is..."

Seeing Zhao Dezhao bringing soapy water, Shi Yuanliang was at a loss.

"First gather half of the soldiers and come over and disinfect them together."

Zhao Dezhao personally commanded his soldiers to wash and disinfect them first.

He ordered people to carry wooden buckets into the village to bathe and disinfect the villagers.

"Your Highness! Is this useful?"

"Of course it works! It must work!"

Zhao Dezhao was full of confidence.

"Forgot one thing! Forgot to make a mask."

Leaving the soapy water behind, Zhao Dezhao flew back to the mansion again to find Wang Xiuzhi to make the mask he designed.
