Chapter 1326 Fang Congzhe's Countermeasure
Xiao Ruxun likes Fang Cong's well-behaved personality who knows current affairs philosophically.

He hates the kind of double-standard person who is not cowardly but gradually full of selfish desires in his stomach. He is extremely tolerant to himself, but he imposes high morality on others. He benefits himself and takes the blame for others. Not much at all so far.

But Fang Congzhe is not such a person, he is really cowardly, frightened by the power of Daqin and the power of the emperor, he just wants to kneel and lick the emperor.

Xiao Ruxun, a man of obedience, was very happy and satisfied with what he did, so after some investigation, Xiao Ruxun decided to give him a chance to make a comeback. After all, he is a person with practical ability, so don't be too pity, right now is what is needed when.

A well-behaved person like Fang Congzhe is the best.

So Xiao Ruxun gave Fang Congzhe several letters from Liu Chuanhai and some matters discussed by the court to Fang Congzhe for him to read.

After Fang Congzhe finished reading, he asked, "I've heard about the disease in my hometown, and I've seen the patient with my own eyes, but I never imagined that the scale of the disease would be so large and the number of people infected would be far beyond my imagination." , I really don’t know the sufferings of the people.”

Xiao Ruxun waved his hand.

"It's not surprising that I don't know. I didn't know it at the beginning, but now there are 30 people infected with the disease in just one Nanzhili. This is not a complete data, and I don't count other Jiangnan identities. Add it all up. I I am really worried that the number of infected patients will exceed one million."

Fang Congzhe swallowed.

"Your Majesty, this disease has different symptoms, and some people die quickly, and some linger for months, years, or even ten years before dying. Therefore, it is not surprising that people don't pay attention to it. The common people look down on the disease, which..."

"It's even less surprising."

Xiao Ruxun sighed: "The people are poor, and having enough to eat is the biggest desire. Now I am trying to move forward with all my strength towards this desire, but I fell on a few little bugs. Fang Qing, what do you think this matter should be based on?" Is the place starting to improve?"

Fang Congzhe knew that the emperor's test was coming.

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the first thing to do is to count the number of people who are infected, so as to have a general grasp of the overall situation and judge the number of infected patients and the severity of their illness. These imperial courts must be aware of it." .”

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"Data collection is the first step. I also agree with this point. Then?"

"Then, the minister suggested that, within the scope of one's ability, the patients should be gathered together to live together, the infected and the uninfected should be separated, and the treatment should be concentrated. In addition, since the worm disease is transmitted by snails, it is directly infected by infected water. , then it is necessary to organize manpower to kill molluscs and clean up water sources in the area where infected patients are located.

This grievance has its own source, and the debt has its owner. We can’t fix it after it happens. No amount of medicinal materials will be enough. We need to find the source of the problem and control it from the source. Since the bug is spread by snails, we should organize a large number of people to kill the snails. Eliminate the snails, and the poisonous insects will naturally decrease.

Reducing the number of poisonous insects will prevent more people from being infected, otherwise we will infect one after the other is cured. This back and forth will drag down the court's finances. Therefore, the old minister suggested that it is not allowed to come from one region to another. If it is spread out on a large scale, it will be useless to gather all the doctors in Daqin. "

Fang Congzhe's thinking was very clear, and his countermeasures were very cautious, even a little conservative, but this was appreciated by Xiao Ruxun.

In this case, you can still maintain a conservative attitude, and you are truly aware of the severity of schistosomiasis and the difficulty of dealing with it.

Otherwise, they would all go to attack Chu State like Li Xin, and Qin State would not be able to destroy Chu State even if it ran out of soldiers and horses.

If Xiao Ruxun could handle this matter with his mouth, then Xiao Ruxun wouldn't need to call Fang Congzhe to test his ability to handle affairs.

"So, Fang Qing's suggestion is to attack them one by one, and start with killing the snails instead of treating the sick?"

"Indeed."

Fang Congzhe said.

"Then what if the sick person dies without timely treatment? The people of Daqin, will they die in front of me like this, and I will remain indifferent?"

Fine beads of sweat ooze from Fang Congzhe's forehead, and his breathing is a little short.

"Your Majesty, please listen to what the old minister said. The number of patients and the intensity of the infection have exceeded the imagination of the old minister. In the opinion of the veteran, the doctors who are concentrated in the whole of Daqin cannot cure these patients in a short period of time. Yes, during this period, there will inevitably be people who continue to die and cannot receive timely medical treatment, but this cannot be reversed by manpower."

Fang Congzhe chose his words carefully, for fear of offending Xiao Ruxun.

"Then if I insist on you doing this, you want to kill the snails and ensure that none of the patients die, can you do it?"

Fang Congzhe was taken aback.

This……

This is simply impossible...

Fang Congzhe was alone, not a god, so it would be difficult for a god to come down to earth, let alone him?

But if it can't be done, will the emperor...

After a little thought, Fang Congzhe decided to take a small gamble.

The gambling emperor is not that crazy.

"If Your Majesty said that, the old minister is really speechless. I would like to ask His Majesty to find someone else. Perhaps the old minister is too dull to handle the errand assigned by His Majesty."

Fang Congzhe handed over his official career to Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun was silent for a while, but this short period of time seemed extremely long and difficult to Fang Congzhe.

"Fang Congzhe, you did not disappoint me."

As soon as Xiao Ruxun said these words, Fang Congzhe heaved a sigh of relief, and his heartbeat stopped so fast.

"This is an impossible thing. I have long understood that even if [-] doctors can be dispatched immediately, it will be too late to treat so many sick people. Some of them will die before they can be treated. Not less.

It is true that I am a little unwilling to say this, but more importantly, I still have to see if you Fang Congzhe is a person who likes to talk big and empty guns. If you just say that you can work hard, go back to farming immediately. There is no need for big talkers in my court. "

Xiao Ruxun laughed loudly: "Now it seems that Ye Qing didn't miss the mark. How about it? You were a good scholar in the former Ming Dynasty, an editor of the Hanlin Academy and a sacrificial wine for the Imperial College. Here, I will give you a servant of the Ministry of Rites." Official title, you have the title of servant of the Ministry of Rites, serve as an imperial envoy, go south to the south of the Yangtze River, and organize this matter for me.

I have set up a Department of Natural Disaster Response Strategy Department in the middle of the court. This department currently has hundreds of officials active in the south. They all listen to you. If you want anything, I will fully support you. I have only one request for you. Within five years, the pest plague will be brought under control in the three southeastern provinces. "

Xiao Ruxun put forward his own request from Congzhe.
