Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

After the two of them had discussed all matters concerning disease prevention and control, Yu Jiusi asked Li Shiyuan one last question.

"Doctor Li, can you find the source of this epidemic?"

There was always a sense of worry lingering in his heart, and he had been thinking about a question over and over again since just now - if he wanted to frame himself now, where should he start in order to deal himself a fatal blow?

It is the source of the epidemic.

If the source of the epidemic was caused by Yu Jiusi's improper command, then the responsibility for the epidemic would fall entirely on him.

Now that Li Shiyuan has come, the epidemic may be effectively prevented and controlled, but what if he hadn’t come?

The result is obvious, isn't it?

——As time goes by, the epidemic rages, the number of sick people increases day by day, and seriously ill patients gradually die. Perhaps the number of bodies per day will increase from one to ten or even a hundred, until the pile can no longer contain them.

Mountain of corpses.

Just thinking about it makes one feel cold all over.

The villagers had already survived the floods and had managed to save their lives. If another villager died from the epidemic...

There is only one fate for Jimun and him.

Yu Jiusi suddenly felt a palpitation, "I can't just sit there and wait for death, it's too passive. We have to... find a way to fight back."

From the moment he set out, Li Shiyuan was prepared to be involved in this struggle.

He came here not only for himself and Tongan Medical Clinic, but also for Lord Shen and the Yongning Earl's Mansion.

"General, there have been thousands of epidemics of varying sizes since ancient times, but only a few dozen have their sources recorded. I will do my best to investigate this matter, but I cannot guarantee that I will be able to find the source of the epidemic."

This request was a bit unreasonable, and Yu Jiusi knew it himself, but he still asked curiously:

"I will do my best to assist you in this matter. If we can find the first person who got sick, can we get one step closer to the truth?"

In Yu Jiusi's opinion, as long as the first person who fell ill could be found and his whereabouts before he fell ill could be investigated, perhaps some clues could be found.

But Li Shiyuan did not completely agree with him.

"General, you don't know that people have different physiques and the physical signs after getting sick will also be different. Some people will feel unwell a few hours after contracting the disease, but some people may need ten days or half a month to feel anything, or even..."

"What even?" Yu Jiusi asked.

Li Shiyuan's face was heavy. "There is even a type of people who have no obvious physical discomfort after contracting the disease, and even pulse detection cannot detect it. If this is the case..."

What he said was not without basis, as the medical cases of epidemic diseases in "Yaowang Ji" recorded such incidents.

——When the epidemic is raging, separate dozens of asymptomatic people, divide them into several small teams, and then alternate the teams and reduce the number of team members, and you can find a very scary conclusion.

——Among these dozens of asymptomatic people, there was an asymptomatic patient who was hiding among them. He himself didn't even know that he had been infected with the disease. It was not until the rest of the people were infected and he was still safe and sound that everyone realized that this result had already been traced.

——Wherever team this person is assigned to, the people in that team will be infected with the disease one after another. It is not an exaggeration to call this person a walking plague.

Yu Jiusi seemed to be unaware of the existence of such people. He lowered his eyes and said, "I hope this is not the case. In any case, it is better to do one's best than to sit and wait for death."

Li Shiyuan smiled when he heard this, "I am indeed pessimistic. Then I will follow what General Lang said. I will first control the epidemic in the village, and then we can make other plans."

The ward was shrouded in dusk and was no longer as lifeless as before.

Dusk does not only mean the fading of vitality.

......

Tongan County.

The renovation of the backyard of the county government office has been completed. All that’s left is to move back the items that were previously moved to the county school, and to slightly decorate each room before Shen Zheng and the others can move in.

Wu Quan led Shen Zheng to the backyard, explaining the changes to her all the way. The layout of the backyard was decided by the county government and others at the beginning, so Liang Fu only highlighted some small but unique changes.

"Master Shen, look here. This was originally a bare wall, which seemed a little too plain. So after asking Master Liang for his opinion, I opened a window here. Looking from the outside, you can see the green bamboos. Especially at sunset, under the dusk, there is a special charm in it. Master Shen, what do you think?"

Wu Quan's words sounded full of confidence, but his fingers were shaking and he kept swallowing in his throat, and he seemed extremely nervous.

Shen Zheng looked in the direction of his finger. After this change, the plain wall really became more artistic. The setting sun shone through the window, as if it was shining into another parallel world, which was beautiful to the point of being unreal.

She walked to the wall, slowly raised her hand, and passed her fingers through the wall.

"It's very beautiful." She never hesitated to give compliments. "I didn't expect you to have the skill of landscape design. It has been forgotten in the past."

Wu Quan didn't expect to receive her praise, and he was so happy that his voice became a little louder.

"As long as you like it! To be honest, I started out as a laborer. When I first started working in this field, I was completely clueless and didn't even know what scenery was. Someone told me that when rich people build houses, they care about the word 'scenery'."

As he spoke, he led Shen Zheng to another landscaping location.

"At that time, I had no idea how to match the scenery. After all, I had never seen the world. At first glance, I thought everything was beautiful. Later, I was lucky enough to follow my former foreman and work in a wealthy family. Only then did I get a glimpse of it. Only then did I know what scenery was."

Shen Zheng listened to him quietly and said at the right time: "I think the scenery of these two places is very good. Wu Quan, how long have you been involved in landscape design? You may have a talent in this area."

When Wu Quan heard her say this, his heart started pounding, and he felt both happy and flustered.

"I have been involved in landscape design for four or five years. I can see about two scenes every year. After that, I will go home to find Chi Qing and ask him to help me draw it. Then I will take it out and think about it myself."

"After this, I became more and more interested in landscape design. I usually paint with charcoal sticks, but I never had the chance to try it. This time, I was fortunate enough to renovate the county government office, and I got the approval of you and Lord Liang, so I dared to give it a try..."

Wu Quan said this as he led her inside.

Shen Zheng carefully observed every change in the backyard, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction rose in her heart.
