Chapter 13 Nanye's Magic Method to Fight the Plague Zhang Ning Out of the Mountain to Save Luoyang (12)
After saying goodbye to Guo Tai and others, Wang Yue and his party rode down the mountain. There are six more people in the team this time, Xu Huang and Zhang Ning. When he came, he gave Yang Feng one horse and another Xu Huang. The number has not changed, so that each person can ride two times.
Xu Huang escorted Zhang Ning down the mountain while considering how to join Master Nanye. But before he could speak, he heard Wang Yue say, "Gongming is good at martial arts. It's a pity if he doesn't have any place to use it. When Mrs. Guo was invited just now, I saw that Gongming had no intention of throwing the thief. Today, I will invite you again. Is Gong Ming willing to be a dart head in my shocking dart bureau? Isn't it good to protect the safety of the people and have a useful place?
Xu Huang was overjoyed and arched his hand and said, "I dare not invite you!" If Mr. Wang doesn't open his head, he will open his mouth.
Wang Yue smiled and said, "Gongming is really cheerful! If Gongming has his wife and children at the foot of the mountain, he might as well take him to Luoyang.
Xu Huang blushed and said, "Xu Huang is alone and has no wife or children. Just now, it was a thief's words. Don't take it seriously.
When Zhang Baiqi and others didn't expect Xu Huang, a loyal and straightforward person, to lie, they suddenly smiled. It seems that Xu Huang is really anxious and wise. He is a person who is both literary and martial arts. The mage must be happy to see it.
When Wang Yue and others left Luoyang to find people, the plague had just broken out. Now that Zhang Ning's New Year has passed, I don't know how many people in Luoyang have died of illness in these days? Is the mage's epidemic prevention method useful?
With a nervous mood, everyone rushed to Luoyang. When looking for someone, they wanted to get up quickly. Now that people have found it, Wang Yue and others can't wait to put their wings and fly back to Luoyang City. Fortunately, after everyone arrived at Julu, they returned to the south. The position of Baibo Valley was almost between Julu and Luoyang, that is to say, everyone had walked half of the way and did not go far, which made the six people quickly arrive at the city of Luoyang.
Along the way, Zhang Ning has heard Zhang Baiqi talk too much about Master Nanye, including those methods to prevent and control the plague. Some of these methods are known by Zhang Ning, but some of which she has never heard of, such as the mask.
This made Zhang Ning admire Nanye on the road. She felt that Master Nanye was outstanding in the prevention and control of epidemic diseases, and many doctors were not as good as him. But even so, Master Nanye still admitted that he could only prevent but not cure it, and ordered people to invite himself. This shows that Master Nanye regards the lives of the people more important than his reputation.
If you are a quack doctor who pursues fame and fortune, as long as you control the spread of the plague and don't let the emperor, ministers, families and rich people get sick, it will be a great achievement. Regardless of the life or death of those sick people, you can isolate them and let them live and die. However, Master Nanye thought about finding a good recipe to cure the people, and he was not afraid that the invited doctor would smash his signboard.
It is said that colleagues are enemies. If they are narrow-minded, they will certainly not invite a person with good medical skills to share their contributions to the prevention of the plague, let alone admit that they are not as good as others. With the fact that Master Nanye dared to invite himself out of the mountain, Zhang Ning felt that Master Nanye's medical ethics and heart were stronger than many doctors. This is also where Zhang Ning admires Nan Ye.
Because he did not know whether the epidemic in the city was controlled, Wang Yue led everyone to advance to the arsenal. Before the outbreak of the plague, it was semi-closed management, and after the outbreak, it was completely isolated, which should be the safest place.
As soon as Xi Zhicai, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping heard that Wang Yue's medical treatment was back, they all came out to welcome him. Zhang Ning saw a piece of cloth on the nose of the crowd, and a cloth belt hanging on his ears, and then he saw what the mask was.
Xi Zhicai came forward and said, "Wang Daxia, you are back. If you don't come back, I'm afraid the mage will go crazy. How about it? Have you found a doctor?"
Wang Yue was shocked to hear the words and pointed to his back and said, "This is Dr. Zhang. What happened to the mage? Have you also been infected with the epidemic?
Xi Zhicai said, "Although the mage is not sick, Mrs. Cai is ill. The situation is urgent. As we walk, we said, you can put on the mask first. After saying that, he ordered people to take six masks and give them to six people.
Wang Yue and others were used to seeing the fresh things created by Master Nan Ye and did not find it strange to wear them directly. Zhang Ning and Xu Huang are different. After studying for a long time, they put the mask on their mouth. It felt a little novel and awkward.
At this time, another soldier led the horse, and Xi Zhi turned over and said to Su Shuang and others, "I will take the female doctor to the city to see the mage. You can stay here to take care of it later. Also, quickly send someone to inform Mr. Cai that Dr. Zhang has arrived and asked him not to worry.
Su Shuang arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, Zhicai. I can't see the difference here when I wait for the photo."
Xi Zhicai bowed his hand to Zhang Ning and Xu Huang and said, "I am a disciple of Master Nan Ye. The two magic doctors were supposed to hold a banquet here, but their lives were at risk. They also asked them to follow me to the city to treat the disease first. If there is much neglect, please forgive me."
Zhang Ning said, "Mr. Zhicai, you're welcome! You can eat food at any time, and it can't be delayed to save people. I'll say as I walk.
After everyone got on the horse, they rushed to the city. On the way, they talked about how Master Nanye applied medicine to save people and Cai Yan how he got sick because of saving people, which made Zhang Ning and Xu Huang very impressed them very much.
Wang Yue also briefly described the process of searching for people all the way and reintroduced Xu Huang. Only then did Xi Zhicai know that Xu Huang was not a doctor but the new dart head of thebiao bureau.
After entering the city, Zhang Ning found that there was no one in Luoyang City. Occasionally, he could see one or two pedestrians wearing masks on their faces, and his heart was sinking. He asked Zhicai, "Mr. Zhicai, I often hear that Luoyang is the capital of the emperor, which is very prosperous. Why are there no pedestrians now? Has the epidemic been rampant, and ten rooms and nine rooms in the city have been empty?
Xi Zhicai's gloomy face smiled and said, "Doctor Zhang's words are bad, and the skills used by the mage have now been effective. The plague has been completely controlled and has not spread any more. The reason why pedestrians are sparse is that in order to reduce the possibility of the spread of the epidemic, the mage ordered the people in the city to walk outdoors as little as possible to avoid infection between people. The people are avoiding the plague at home, and this group of people is naturally rare.
Zhang Ning nodded and said, "This isolated slave family has heard Bai Qi mention it, but what if the people in the city want to buy what they need?"
Xi Zhicai explained: "The mage thought of Dr. Zhang also thought of it a long time ago. Because people gathered every day in front of the mage's ring where he taught the law and applied medicine, the mage gathered the whole street in front of the ring, and all the houses on the street were turned into shops, concentrating on the daily needs of the people.
These shop operators are all mage disciples, and they all wear masks and wear tight clothes to avoid the spread of immune diseases. The goods trafficked into the city do not need to be sold by themselves, as long as they are sold to the store and then sold by the store to the people.
There are three benefits. The first is to prevent businessmen from coming into contact with people to spread the epidemic. The second is to allow people to buy all the goods at once, reduce the time and number of trips, and avoid mutual infection. The third is to stabilize the price of food in the city.
Xu Huangqi said, "The first and second points mentioned by Mr. Zhicai can be understood, but why can this move stabilize grain prices?"
Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Doesn't Gongming know that the richer this person is, the more afraid of death? Those rich profiteers who hoarded countless food at home would have wanted to take the opportunity of the plague to raise food prices and make a lot of money. However, as soon as I heard about the spread of the epidemic, I was so scared that I closed the store and dared not operate it again. But the grain could not be stored at home for a long time and waited for it to rot, so it was sold to the mage's shop at a relatively low price, and the mage's disciples came forward to operate it.
The mage is kind, and all the items purchased in the store are not sold at a higher price, but sold at an affordable price. In this way, food prices are naturally suppressed. The people also recognized that the shops run by the mage were good and cheap, and they all went to the mage's shop to buy what they needed. Even if there are several profiteers who want to sell grain at a high price, no ordinary people will buy it. In the end, those profiteers had to sell the grain to the mage's store at a low price.
Nowadays, the front of the ring for teaching medicine has become a big market, and the mage calls it a supermarket, or a supermarket for short. And the people call that street the mage street to remember the mage's kindness.
