    Sun Yuanqi listened, but asked: "Master Yu, how serious is the epidemic situation in Binjiang Hall now? How many people die from the disease every day? What measures have you taken?"

    Yu Sixing did not dare to hide it: "Reporting to the Imperial Envoy, when the epidemic first broke out, only one or two people died every day, and then it became worse day by day. Until now, at least ten people died of the disease a day. Since the outbreak, my subordinates  He reported to Governor Xi and the imperial court, and based on the advice of Russian doctors, rented a house in Fujiadian as a nursing home. He also ordered the patrol station there to send all those who were found to be infected with the epidemic to the nursing home to prevent infection. All those who died of the disease  If the patient is injured, the government will pay for the coffin, and the family can bury the deceased on the spot or take the deceased back to his hometown. Governor Xi also specially invited two Western doctors to take charge of epidemic prevention affairs in Fujiadian."

    Sun Yuanqi frowned and said, "Didn't I send you a notice requesting that the bodies of the deceased should be incinerated?"

    Yu Sixing had a troubled expression on his face: "Sir, you also know that Chinese people value the deceased being buried in peace, so burning the body is really"

    Sun Yuanqi also understood the possible problems of burning the body, so he stopped pursuing it and asked instead: "What latest news do you have about this plague? For example, how does the epidemic spread? How long is the incubation period? What are the specific symptoms?"

    Yu Sixing replied: "It is not clear how long the incubation period is. We only know that those who suffer from this disease first have a fever, then cough and vomit blood, and die soon after. After death, the skin of the whole body turns purple. Russian doctors believe that the disease is caused by fleas.  It can be spread by biting an infected rat and then biting another person. However, Dr. Yao, who is in charge of epidemic prevention in Fujiadian, believes that the disease is not plague, but a lung inflammation that is spread from person to person through droplets. What is the truth?  No matter what, it¡¯s not good for a low-ranking official to make rash judgments."

    Wu Liande, who was standing aside with a solemn expression, interjected at this time: "I think Dr. Yao's point of view is more correct. After Yersinia pestis was discovered in Yersin, France in 1894, the medical community generally believed that it was carried by mice and infected by fleas. Now is the time  In the middle of winter, mouse activity decreases, but the epidemic becomes more and more serious. So where do so many fleas come from? This is logically untenable.

    "If it is a new infectious disease that spreads through droplets, it is winter now, the doors and windows are closed and the air is not circulating. If one person gets sick, the whole house is infected. It is reasonable to use this to explain the cause of the outbreak.  If it is really droplet transmission, Fujiadian now has more than ten deaths every day, which has shown that we have lost the best opportunity to control the epidemic, and a larger outbreak is about to come."

    Yu Sixing's throat was a little dry and he said bravely: "The key point is that most of the people living in Fujiadian are people who have traveled to Guandong. The Spring Festival is approaching at this time, so many people have already embarked on the journey south to return home, and those who are infected will also follow.  They scattered in all directions. If it is true as this gentleman said, I am afraid that the epidemic will be unstoppable. Now Fujiadian has become a ghost, so I ask you to move to Alchuka and make plans in advance!"

    The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became tense.

    Sun Yuanqi also felt that the situation was serious, but at this time he could only pretend to be calm.  If even the imperial envoys are in panic, how can the people below work with peace of mind?  He waved his hands nonchalantly: "Don't panic, Sir. Before Sun went north, he had already deployed strict defenses in Yongping Prefecture, Chengde Prefecture, and Koubei Third Hall of Zhili to prevent even one infected person from entering. Now what we have to do is  Fight the epidemic in Northeast China as soon as possible. But the key to fighting the epidemic is still to find out how the disease spreads, so we must go to Fujiadian to find out."

    "Sir!" Yu Sixing was almost begging: If the imperial envoy died in the Binjiang Hall, there is no doubt that he would be the first to be unlucky.

    Sun Yuanqi was unmoved: "There are two theories now. One is that it is plague, spread by rats and fleas. Then we will catch some rats and dissect them to see if they carry the virus. This is good proof that it is only possible to prevent it.  There are a lot of troubles. We have to catch rats and kill fleas everywhere, but rats and fleas are everywhere, making it difficult to prevent them.

    "There is another thought that it is a new infectious disease, spread through droplets. If this is the case, it is relatively simple. As long as the source of the disease is found, isolated, and masks are popularized, I believe the problem will be solved soon.

    "In order to eliminate the hidden danger as soon as possible, we must rush to Fujiadian as soon as possible. Now it happens that all the adults are gathered together, how about we all go to explore this dragon pool and tiger den together?"

    The officials present looked at each other in confusion, and their faces turned blue, red, black, or white.

    Yu Sixing wiped the cold sweat from his head and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, I should have accompanied you there, but I am busy with military affairs and I really can't get away. I have more than enough ambition but not enough energy, so I'm afraid I can only apologize!"

    Sun Yuanqi didn¡¯t think too much about himself, so he agreed: ¡°Since I have something to do with you, I won¡¯t force you to stay. I just hope you will go back.¡±? Everyone who enters and exits must register their name and whereabouts, and have their body temperature checked, and anyone in doubt will be detained and quarantined.  "

    Cheng Ziyin hesitated and said: "There are only seven people guarding here, I'm afraid it won't do anything, right?"

    Sun Yuanqi turned to Liu Jingren and said, "Sir Liu, please assign three additional medical examiners and twenty patrol officers to each level to ensure nothing goes wrong."

    "I will obey my orders!" Liu Jingren quickly agreed.

    After crossing the bridge, before walking a few steps, I saw twenty or thirty coffins piled on the river beach. Two corpses were actually exposed among them. Several wild dogs were surrounding one of them and feasting on it.  Several women in the team suddenly screamed loudly, and even many male students pulled off their masks and started retching.

    Seeing this situation, Sun Yuanqi's face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears.  Liu Jingren explained dryly: "Sir, the weather is cold now and the ground is as hard as iron. If you hit it with an iron pickaxe, it will only leave a white spot. The coffin cannot be buried, so"

    Sun Yuanqi was furious: "Then you don't know how to burn it? Don't tell me about human laws! The epidemic is urgent now. Don't you know what it means to obey the right in urgent matters?"

    Liu Jingren murmured in a low voice: "How can we dare without the superior's order?"

    "I am the imperial envoy. I am ordering you to immediately find wood, kerosene, and burn all the corpses in these coffins!" Sun Yuanqi shouted, "Cheng Ziyin, load the bullets and kill these wild dogs!"

    There was a rare opportunity to shoot live ammunition along the way. As soon as Sun Yuanqi finished speaking, almost all the students took out bullets from their bodies and pressed the barrels of their guns. Even those who were vomiting did not care about their nausea.  Although the students were not very accurate, they were better because they had more guns and a closer range. After a burst of explosions, the wild dogs were blown to pieces, and the nearby coffin was also riddled with holes.

    Liu Jingren and other officials from the Binjiang Department had their eyelids twitching wildly, chills running down their backs, and their legs trembling.  It seemed as if it was not the wild dogs that had been shot just now, but them.  Sun Yuanqi ignored their feelings and walked forward.  (To be continued.
