Royal Road - Chapter 39

[Chapter 39]

“What? There are five more families infected with typhoid fever in the west of the city?! Isn’t that a barbarian market?” Hearing this, Wang Wen was shocked and pale. This year’s epidemic came too early, and it was only May. , how come there is news of the epidemic?

“Half a month ago, people in the outskirts of the city started getting sick one after another. This time, it should have infected the nearby merchants, and that’s why the number of patients suddenly surged.” Jiang Taiyi was much calmer than Wang Wen.

“What can I do then? Is it too late to leave Jinyang now?” These wealthy families move to Zhuangzi in the mountains every summer to escape the summer heat, and by the way, avoid the possible outbreak of the plague.

It’s just that the epidemic came too early this year, not only Wang Wen, Jinyang Gaomen, and ten people were all trapped in the city.

“If you rush to leave Jinyang, you will probably encounter an epidemic on the way. Moreover, there are many refugees this year. If you encounter it, it will be impossible to prevent it!” Jiang Taiyi immediately vetoed, “Today’s plan, we can only make concerted efforts to prevent and control the epidemic!”

“This is typhoid fever, who can prevent it?” Wang Wen shook his head again and again.

Even as a family member of the Jinyang Wang family, several of his close relatives died of typhoid fever.

If it can really be prevented, why is it so common to take Hanshi Powder?

“If it really can’t be prevented, how can Buddha fall into a dream? Why did Zhongzheng meet Liang Zixi and call me to see him? Isn’t this what Buddhists say about one drink and one pecking?!” Jiang Taiyi also He went out of his way, and moved out the name of the Buddha’s dream.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Wen was stunned.

Yes, why did he happen to meet Liang Feng?

Could it be that the Buddha had already seen that Jinyang was in such a difficult situation and sent him to resolve it?

If you escaped from the city at this moment and ignored the words of Imperial Physician Jiang, wouldn’t it be a waste of this hard-to-find Buddhist fate?

Gritting his teeth, Wang Wen finally nodded: “In that case, listen to Jiang Weng and see how to prevent and treat this typhoid fever…”

Jiang Taiyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief: “Zhongzheng, don’t panic, I have sent someone to call Ji En, he has been with Liang Zixi the longest, and is familiar with the warnings of Buddha’s dream, so he must be able to find a way. Now the plan is to organize manpower to control typhoid fever. At the same time, publicize the fact that voles and mosquitoes spread the disease, and let Li Shu take precautions, so as to prevent the spread of the disease as much as possible.”

“Listen to Jiang Weng! I will do my best to help!” Wang Wen immediately said, “Come here! Quickly light up the incense and wait for the pen and ink. I will personally hand over the book and speak to the Duke of Dongying!”

“Zixi, there is an epidemic in Jinyang City. My grandfather and father have already gone to Jinyang, I must rush Go…” Jiang Da looked ashamed and almost didn’t dare to look directly into Liang Feng’s eyes.

He clearly promised to help Liang Zixi take care of his body, but now that he has learned to prevent the epidemic, he has to leave his friends behind, which really makes him ashamed.

Unexpectedly, the person who should have been angry quickly replied: “The doctor saves people like putting out a fire, Ji En should rush to Jinyang as soon as possible! The danshi on my body has recovered, and the rest is just taking medicine on time, it doesn’t matter. In

the epidemic area, you must be careful and don’t get sick.”

Jiang Da couldn’t help feeling warm in his chest: “Thank you Zixi for your concern! If this trip goes well, the tips you taught about epidemic prevention will surely save the lives of countless people!

” I hope so!” These days, he has indeed told Jiang Da the theory of epidemic prevention countless times, only to see if it can be used in this era.

Liang Feng thought for a while, and then picked up a letter from the table, “Here are more than a dozen “Diamond Sutras” that I have copied one after another. You can take them to Jinyang and give them to Wang Zhongzheng. With these scriptures, he will definitely It will also help you prevent the epidemic. Ah Liang, hurry up and prepare a fast horse for Dr. Jiang to drive.”

Jiang Da’s eyes were hot.

He carefully took the envelope and hid it with the meat before he gave a deep bow: “Zixi Gaoyi! I will not bear the heavy trust!” After

saying that, he got up and walked out.

Lu Zhu’s face turned pale: “Lang Jun, why did you send Dr. Jiang away? If typhoid fever spreads, wouldn’t it be bad if there is no doctor in the house?”

“The epidemic area is in Jinyang, and it’s still far away from us. But if no one is treating it, it will endanger Jinyang’s surroundings. Dr. Jiang is doing good deeds, and he is also saving ourselves.”

Liang Feng understood, it was not midsummer yet. Well, the plague emerged.

If it accidentally spreads, it will really be corpses all over the place.

The Jiang family can go deep into the epidemic area and prevent the spread of the epidemic, which is definitely a righteous move.

At such a time, of course, we have to give our full support. Could it be that we have to pull others’ backs for our own interests?

Green Bamboo bit his lip: “Then I’ll burn more wormwood, and put incense every day, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless me!”

Liang Feng smiled and did not answer.

I hope this epidemic can be brought under control.

If there is a successful example, the epidemic prevention measures designated by the imperial court will be a great boon for the common people.

The Liang Mansion was really a good horse, and it didn’t stop around the clock. It only took four days for Jiang Da to arrive at Jinyang City.

The bustling streets in the past have become deserted, and the pedestrians on the road are also covered with thick cloth towels, and they look like they are in a hurry.

Without making any more stops on the street, Jiang Da rode his horse directly to the Chengxi Annex where his grandfather lived temporarily.

This is the medical room specially provided by Wang Wen for the Jiang family. As soon as he entered the door, the strong smell of wormwood rushed into his nostrils.

Jiang Da wrinkled his nose and didn’t care, and walked quickly towards the main courtyard. Along the way, he saw several men in burlap robes and brown cloth towels carrying wooden buckets and walking out. The lime water was unique. The smell came from the barrel.

It seemed that these were handymen who went to splash lime water. Jiang Da couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Grandfather really read his letter and put disinfection first.

Going around a few corridors, a wide courtyard appeared in front of him.

A large pile of medicinal materials was placed in the corner, and several medical workers were busy sorting medicinal materials.

The pungent medicinal soup smelled over the smell of wormwood and lime water, but Jiang Da didn’t care about it. He had already seen the old man standing in the middle of the courtyard, busy giving orders to the handyman.

With just one glance, Jiang Da’s eyes flashed with tears.

Half a month later, grandfather’s straight back has been hunched up, his face is no longer ruddy, but sallow and wrinkled, looking overworked.

He couldn’t help but quickly stepped forward, supported the old man’s arm, and choked: “Grandfather, the child is late.”

“It’s not too late, it’s not too late!” Jiang Taiyi couldn’t help but feel happy, “Here is organizing people to pour lime water, everyone is wearing sackcloth and masks, so far no one has contracted typhoid fever! Liang Zixi’s method is useful.

Jiang Da immediately wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and said sternly: “I think it is not enough to sprinkle lime water, and the patients must be isolated in order to stop the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible.”

”

What is isolation?” asked.

“Send people to guard the affected neighborhoods, close their doors, and reduce going out. Set up a separate hospital for the sick people, and they will be treated by doctors. If they can be cured, they can be released back to their original places. If not, they must be released as soon as possible. Dispose of the corpse.”

“Isn’t this a violation of filial piety?” Imperial Physician Jiang frowned.

“Filial piety is also divided into filial piety and filial piety. If there is no precaution, the epidemic of one person will become the epidemic of one family, one square, and one city, and it will be difficult to clean up at that time!”

How to say Jiang Taiyi is also good at typhoid fever, Naturally he knew that the contagion of the disease was terrifying. After thinking about it for a while, he finally made up his mind: “I’ll go see Wang Zhongzheng now and see if I can let him go out of the way and take in the sick. Da’er, you also go with me… …”

Jiang Da nodded immediately, and took out a letter from his arms: “This is the scripture that Liang Zixi gave me, saying that as long as it is presented to Wang Zhongzheng, Wang Zhongzheng will help us prevent the epidemic.

” Is it a scripture?” Jiang Taiyi couldn’t help but feel a little moved. Before, he used the Buddha’s dream to stimulate Wang Wen, but Liang Feng actually agreed with this statement.

If there is no heart to save the world, why are these setbacks necessary?

“It’s so good! Ah Cheng, go and lead the horse!”

※

“What? Put the sick people together and separate them from their families?” Wang Wen shook his head immediately after hearing the advice of Imperial Physician Jiang. ” It’s not right, isn’t it to separate flesh and blood. How can no one serve you when you are seriously ill?”

At this time, there are similar rules in the court. If a court official has three relatives infected with a serious disease, even if he is not sick, he will not be allowed to enter the palace for 100 days.

However, this method has always been criticized.

What’s more, it’s simply unethical to let someone who is seriously ill leave their family!

Imperial Physician Jiang replied: “It’s not that there is no one to serve, but a special person is assigned to take care of them together. These people are familiar with the important tasks of epidemic prevention, the chance of getting sick is greatly reduced, and the further spread of the epidemic can be controlled.”

“But after all, there are no relatives by your side .

, it violates filial piety. The East Ying Gong will definitely not agree to this!” Wang Wen had previously sent a letter to Sima Teng to inform him of the epidemic prevention.

Ma Teng of Dongying Company had close contacts with the Wang family, and Bingzhou was under his rule, but he did not veto the issue of epidemic prevention.

In addition, there are many high schools in Jinyang. Hearing that there is a way to prevent the spread of typhoid fever, many people come to look for Wang Wen and ask for advice.

In order to repay the favor, these high gates will more or less support some medicinal herbs for epidemic prevention.

Therefore, the annex of Imperial Physician Jiang can be quickly established.

But epidemic prevention is epidemic prevention, and isolation is not a trivial matter.

Filial piety is the most important human relationship in the country. If it is to separate the flesh and blood and prevent the relatives from serving the disease, I am afraid that people will accuse them, destroy the bones, and stigmatize them.

This is not something Wang Wen can accept.

Looking at his grandfather, Jiang Da took out Liang Feng’s letter from his arms and handed it respectfully: “Wang Zhongzheng, this is the scripture of Liang Zixi’s new book. He also instructed me to leave Liang’s house. I must send the scriptures to Zhongzheng. This method of isolation was also pointed out by Zixi first. He once said that saving people is like putting out fires. I’m still looking at Zhongzheng to think deeply!”

Wang Wen couldn’t help but startled.

Of course, he also knew that in order to fight the fire, the houses near the fire had to be demolished in order to prevent the fire from spreading and burning down more houses.

But I never thought that epidemic prevention must be like this!

Looking at the elegantly stretched handwriting on the paper, he couldn’t help but hesitate.

If it is as Liang Zixi said, will he speak up or keep his mouth shut?

Seeing Wang Wen’s intention to be shaken, Jiang Da quickly added: “Actually, you can also recruit relatives of patients who are sick. If there are children of filial piety who are willing to serve the sick, they can be recruited into the isolation area and take care of their relatives at the same time. , and also help other patients. Wouldn’t this not be complete filial piety, but also accumulated virtues and good deeds?”

“This is a good way.” Wang Wen’s brows slowly stretched out, “It’s just isolated patients, where should they be placed?”

“Stay out of the way, or find a big mansion?” Jiang Taiyi said, “As long as the house is disinfected frequently, no disease will be left in the house, but it must be spacious.”

Wang Wen hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: ” Maybe I can borrow the monk’s room of Huai’en Temple in the west of the city.” Huai’en Temple

is a large temple in Jinyang, with a large number of Hu people in Bingzhou, Buddhism is prosperous, and the scale of the temple is not small.

Wang Wen himself often gave alms in the monastery.

If the monk’s room can be used as a medical room, then there should be more and more people willing to go to the doctor.

Jiang Da’s eyes lit up: “That’s even better! The matter of the epidemic is the Buddha’s instruction. If someone can borrow the monk’s room, wouldn’t it be in harmony with the heavenly principle? And the monks who died seem to be cremated. You can use the Buddha’s name to cremate the corpses and relics, so that the epidemic can be more easily controlled!”

“That’s very good.” After discovering that everything implied in this matter, Wang Wen finally stopped rejecting it and settled on the case, “You The two of them also want to draw up a charter as soon as possible for the minister of Dongying to refer to. If it can really stop the epidemic, it is not worth it to be enlightened by the Buddha.” The

grandparents of the Jiang family looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

They don’t believe in Buddhism very much, but if they can save lives and people under the name of Buddha, they don’t mind using it.

I just hope that this time, more lives can be saved…

※In

the spacious monk’s room, sandalwood is lingering.

A kind-hearted old monk lowered his eyes and looked at the scripture in front of him.

Although the catalogue is not complete, the scriptures are indeed intricate. In his early years, he had heard a monk from the Western Regions recite similar scriptures, but in Sanskrit instead of Chinese.

It is incredible that a young man with a weak crown who has never left Middle-earth can recite such scriptures.

After a moment of silence, he asked, “That benefactor Liang once dreamed of a graceful garden that was half gold and half mud?”

Wang Wen was slightly surprised, “Could it really be this garden?”

“It should be the Gion Palace. Originally belonged to Prince Zeda of the State of Shewei, and later gave it to the lonely elder to welcome the Buddha and asked him to buy it. Prince Zanda proposed to cover the ground with gold, and to the lonely elder, he scattered all his family wealth and took gold to pave the ground. The two of them built this garden together and dedicated it to the Buddha. Therefore, it is called the Gion Tree for the Lonely Garden.” The

old monk flicked his fingertips over the first chapter of the scriptures, and there were beautiful handwritings.

Such a story does not exist in the scriptures, but someone can describe it exactly.

Even he did not dare to deny the Buddha’s dream.

After a while, he said again: “I don’t know if the so-called epidemic of Liang Shizhu can really prevent it?”

“According to Jiang Taiyi, no one of the handymen who went to the epidemic area to sprinkle lime water was infected with typhoid fever. I also reported this matter. East Ying Gong, he supported him greatly and promised to distribute money and food. If the epidemic can really be controlled, there will be a big reward! It’s just that the medical room used for isolation is really hard to find…” Wang Wen gritted his teeth, “If the host is willing to lend the monk’s room , I would like to offer 300,000 money to reshape the golden body for the Buddha!”

Unexpectedly, the old monk shook his head: “Since this matter is enlightened by the Buddha, the poor monk should be the door of convenience.”

Wen Yan Wang Wen couldn’t help it.

Overjoyed, he folded his hands together and said, “Thank you for hosting the mercy! When tomorrow, Imperial Physician Jiang will bring people to the temple to clean up the monk’s room and clean up the house. This kind of thought will definitely save thousands of lives!” The

old monk nodded slightly: “This is The merits and virtues of poor monks are also the dharma of this temple, and I would like to thank the king and benefactor for his compassion.”

Thanks for the compassion, the short answer also contains deep Buddhist principles.

How can Wang Wen still have unbelief at this moment?

After praying again with joy, he said goodbye and left Huai’en Temple.

After the guests left, the monk who had been sitting behind the old monk frowned and said, “Master, treat the monk’s room as a medical dormitory. What if the monks in the temple contract an epidemic?”

“If you are afraid of death, why do you need to practice?” The old monk said lightly, “Since this matter is inspired by the Buddha’s point of view, it is better to push the boat with the current. If it can really prevent the disease and the number of people who believe in Buddhism in the state, it will definitely multiply. This is the real thing. Fate!”

The disciple suddenly realized.

Although Buddhism is prosperous in Bingzhou, the majority of people who believe in Buddhism are still Hu people.

Among the high sects, Lao Zhuang is respected, and there are many believers in the Tao of Heavenly Masters.

If the Dharma can be broadcast on the grounds of eliminating the epidemic, the number of people who believe in Buddhism will definitely increase, and maybe even the Duke of Dongying will start to worship Buddhism.

How can such a great opportunity be missed?

!

There was some excitement on his face, and he put his hands together and said, “This disciple will cooperate with all my heart and declare my Buddha’s name.”

“Well, you can go.” above the text.
