After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

Mu Qing felt better after taking the medicine, but his spirits were still not very good.

She straightened up dejectedly and waited quietly for news from Shen Moyan.

After a great disaster, there will be a great epidemic.

Plagues have occurred many times in China's history. Mu Qing has been intentionally guiding the hygiene conditions of refugees since he took in them in Huang County.

All refugees who came to Huang County had to shave their heads and cleanse their bodies.

This decree still exists in Anping.

Despite this, in addition to drought, war and famine, Mu Qing still overlooked this terrible disaster - plague.

If a plague breaks out nowadays, the already small number of Anping residents may suffer many casualties.

Mu Qing leaned her waist against the pillow. She flipped through several history books in her hands and finally found the records of the relevant epidemic.

There was also a great plague in the Tianchi Dynasty, but it was not recorded in history books. This was something Mu Qing had heard about from Mu Shan.

All Mu Qing could find at the moment was a plague recorded in a county annals and a major epidemic recorded in the history books before the Tianchi Dynasty.

In this county annals, the plague was only briefly mentioned.

As for the great epidemic recorded in history books, it happened about four hundred years ago.

Whether it was the records of "millions of deaths" or "countless deaths", Mu Qing was terrified.

The death toll exceeded 10,000, and this is just the number recorded in history books.

Either they voluntarily became illegal residents due to the head tax, or they became hidden residents among the aristocratic families.

These two groups of people who have not been counted include not only the number of active unregistered households, but also the number of passive hidden households.

During the Yixi period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the home of a minor official like Yu Liang from Kuaiji could hide thousands of people.

In every dynasty in Chinese history, there were millions of hidden households.

The number of deaths calculated based on household registration statistics varies greatly.

The number of people who died from the plague but were not recorded was much higher than this number.

Mu Qing rubbed his tired eyes.

She leaned forward and reached for the book on the edge of the table, but before she could reach it, another pair of hands with distinct knuckles reached out.

Shen Moyan took the book and put it in Mu Qing's hand. There was no joy on his face:

“When the five epidemics come, they are all easy to infect, no matter how big or small, the symptoms are similar.

The symptoms of this cold are the same as those of the plague."

Shen Moyan lowered his eyelashes slightly, and he took out a manual, which was a record of Tang Li's daily medical practice.

This booklet records the symptoms, causes of illness, ages, etc. of different patients over the past few days.

This medical practice book is similar to clinical medical records.

Mu Qing only flipped through a few pages and saw a lot of cold diseases.

The people suffer from pain in their limbs and headaches, latent heat and internal restlessness, and dry throat and thirst.

Just as Tang Li said, this cold is indeed not an ordinary cold.

“Since it has been confirmed to be a plague, the whole city needs to be on alert, and I will go to the resettlement site to isolate myself.

Other people with the disease must also be quarantined at the resettlement center. From now on, Anping’s affairs will be handled by you and Zhuge Huaian together.”

"it is good."

Shen Moyan did not stop Mu Qing from going to the resettlement center for isolation.

There are dozens of disaster chains related to the plague.

Severe droughts without rain, heavy floods with prolonged rain, drought followed by floods or floods followed by droughts, are likely to cause plagues;

Great famine is apt to bring about plague;

Extremely cold winters, snow in June, frost in August, or extremely hot summers and spring-like winters can also cause plagues;

In addition, there are plagues caused by earthquakes, wars and rat plagues.

Anping accounts for three of these ten.

Mu Qing should have guessed it earlier.

However, the sanitation in Anping is quite good, so there shouldn't be such a sudden outbreak of a large number of patients.

Mu Qing seemed to have thought of something. She asked the intelligence department to pay attention to the political affairs of Guangsha and Southern Wei, but ignored other situations in these two cities.

Mu Qing sent someone to make some inquiries and found out that the situation there was more serious than that in Anping.

It turned out that an epidemic had broken out in Guangsha a long time ago, but Chen Shui didn't care, and no one paid attention to the people at the bottom.

Ordinary people simply thought that it was just a severe cold.

Mu Qing learned about the current situation in Guangsha. There are less than 20,000 people in Guangsha City, and nine out of ten people including the people of Southern Wei have symptoms related to the plague.

The incubation period of an epidemic is usually around seven to fifteen days. The people of Guangsha arrived in Anping two months ago. Although it is not ruled out that some of them may have already developed the disease, the probability is too low.

Mu Qing sighed, no matter how the plague in Anping happened.

The plague has now spread, and coupled with the contact between free clinic patients, many people must have been infected.

The first step in epidemic prevention is to reduce the transmission rate, isolate infected people and prevent them from infecting others.

Yesterday, Mu Qing had asked Shen Moyan to order the closure of the gates of all counties.

After today's decree is issued, the people of Anping will reduce going out, and those with symptoms will be placed in resettlement centers.

Mu Qing arrived at the resettlement center wearing a mask. There were already quite a few people there, most of them were officials who were infected with the disease.

The resettlement site is a cement house, which was specially built by Mu Qing in order to accommodate more refugees and people from other cities.

The output of cement increased, and only the official roads near Anping County and Huang County were almost completed. The remaining cement and bricks were used to build many cement houses in the originally planned second and third residential areas.

The cement houses in the third residential area are covered with cement on the outside, and look gray overall. They are slightly more luxurious than those in the second residential area.

Mu Qing plans to wait for the economy to prosper and then start a housing buying frenzy, using houses to withdraw money from the hands of the people and realize economic circulation.

The second residential area is made directly of bricks, tiles and cement, and is temporarily used as resettlement housing for outsiders. People from outside Anping can live in the resettlement housing as long as they pay a certain rent, which is equivalent to providing a suitable residence for people working in Anping.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shui-bian sealed off the city, prohibiting people from leaving the city, and these houses became idle.

This is a perfect time to use it to house and isolate people who have been infected with the disease.

As soon as Mu Qing arrived at the resettlement area, he saw Mo Xuzhi and Xiao Lingyao, whose faces were also covered with cloth.

This group of people from the government office were the first to arrive at the resettlement site.

Mo Xuzhi saw Mu Qing and bowed to him from a distance:

"Lord."

Mo Xuzhi smiled helplessly. He knew that Mu Qing was sick, but he didn't expect that he would be sick too.

Mu Qing: "It's actually not bad to stay here. I can have a good rest for a while."

Mo Xuzhi stayed in the government office all day handling official business. Except for meetings and classes, Mu Qing rarely saw Mo Xuzhi.

Mu Qing thought this quiet place was a good place to go.

However, except for Mu Qing who thought this way, other people had different ideas.
