Chapter 934: Prevent cholera!

"Li Zhanshi, how long will this medicine have an effect~?"

Li Er asked all the servants in the house to go out, and then he asked Li

Zexuan with his hands in his hands.

Li Zexuan replied: "My Majesty, according to the minister's estimation, the

effect should be seen in the afternoon. By then, the frequency of defecation

of the blue bird will be significantly reduced. Keep a pair of medicine in the

morning and evening, and it will definitely be cured within five days~!"

"You are so confident~?"

"The minister has this confidence~!"

If at first, he just used his own understanding of medicinal materials to

infer the prescription, he may not be sure of ten percent, but now that Li Tai

and others are smoked by the toilet, he has gradually improved. The

prescription that the doctor says is more confident.

Li Erwei nodded imperceptibly, and said: "This time the blue bird suddenly

suffered from cholera and almost lost his life. Thanks to your help, I and the

queen are very grateful. If you want any reward, just say it!"

Li Zexuan's eyes lit up and then dimmed again. He sighed and said: "Your

Majesty, the minister heard that all the bluebirds and ugly cows are suffering

from cholera because they drank the water from the Bahe River. I wonder if it

is true~?"

Li Zexuan didn’t want the reward given to his lips. Li Er couldn’t help being

surprised. When Li Zexuan suddenly asked about this, he suppressed the doubt

in his heart and nodded: “That’s true! I’ve sent someone to check the blue

bird before. There is nothing unusual about the recent meals at the mansion,

and just now, I received the news that there are hundreds more people

suffering from cholera outside Chang'an!"

Li Zexuan's heart sank, and he said: "So, the minister thinks that this is not

the time to discuss rewards. The river is invisible, and the pollution on the

water source is the most difficult to control. By then, the number of people

who contract cholera will definitely be far more than that. The immediate

priority is to The local government will come forward to remind the people to

pay attention to drinking water to prevent more people from getting cholera!"

Although he does not have a bodhisattva heart, he does not want to see too

many people suffer. Since ancient times, cholera, an acute infectious disease,

has always been more important than cure. If there is no comprehensive set of

preventive measures, when the number of cholera patients reaches a certain

number, it will be impossible to control it!

When Li Er heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Zexuan with admiration,

secretly saying that this kid is usually greasy, but he can still distinguish

the importance at the critical moment!

"Yes, you can think of this, I am very pleased, but yesterday I have ordered

that the Jingzhao Mansion cooperated with the county officials in the counties

near Chang'an City to tell Baixin not to drink the Bahe River from house to

house, and wait for your prescription to be true. When it works, I will ask

the Imperial Medical Office to allocate a batch of medicinal materials and

distribute them to the sick people for free!"

Li Eryi looked at Li Zexuan with satisfaction and said.

Unexpectedly, Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this rule of

law does not cure the symptoms! Although there are eight rivers around

Chang'an: Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, Chu, Chu, Chan, and Ba, there are Longshou

Canal, Qingming Canal, and Yong'an Canal in the city. The five canals, the

Yellow Canal and the Cao Canal, are connected. They are rich in water sources.

Without the Bahe River, they can still meet the water needs of the people in

and outside Chang'an City. But your Majesty must not forget that these eight

rivers and the five major canals are mutually exclusive. Cross-connected, with

the passage of time, the water of other rivers may also cause people to

contract cholera! If your Majesty wants to prohibit the people from drinking

the river water, only one Bahe River is not enough~!"

Chang'an in this era is different from modern Xi (An). The water resources in

the surrounding area are quite abundant, otherwise it will not be enough to

support this super city with a population of two million! But in this era,

there is no tap water, and people's drinking water mainly comes from river

water, so Li Zexuan felt that Li Er's method was not reliable.

(Modern Xi’an (An) has water shortages and frequent droughts mainly due to the

massive increase in population in Guanzhong area during the two dynasties of

the Sui and Tang dynasties for more than 300 years, the over-exploitation of

the Loess Plateau, and the rapid disappearance of forests. The Last War)

After listening to Li Zexuan's words, Li Er couldn't help frowning deeply,

thinking for a long while, he glanced at Li Zexuan, and said, "Looking at how

confident you are, you must have a countermeasure in your mind? Say it

quickly, no Sell me a pass!"

Li Zexuan rolled his eyes secretly. This is called strategizing!

"Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, the reason why the Bahe River can

cause people to contract cholera is because there are tiny lives in the river

that can cause cholera. This kind of life is very small and cannot be seen by

the naked eye. When it enters After the human body, it will generally be

killed by the acid secreted by the human stomach, but there will always be a

part of it that survives, and this surviving part will invade the human

intestines, and it will multiply in a very short time and produce high

concentrations. Toxins are very lethal! The specific manifestation is that

they vomit and diarrhea uninterruptedly like the blue bird yesterday!"

Li Zexuan began to instill modern medical theories into Li Er and Li Tai. Li

Er couldn't help but his eyes widened, but Li Tai couldn't help shaking a few

times, thinking of countless small things "giving babies" in his intestines. ,

He felt panicked.

Just listen to Li Zexuan continue: "People’s lives are inseparable from water,

so your Majesty’s prohibition of people from drinking river water is not a

long-term solution. The minister felt that instead of this, it is better to

encourage the people to boil the water before drinking. It can greatly reduce

the possibility of them getting cholera!"

(In ancient times, river water was generally cold water, and only when the

weather was cold, the water was boiled and drunk)

Li Er wondered: "When this water is boiled, can it kill those little things in

the water~?"

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Of course, not only this kind of little life, but

other things that can cause people to get sick, most of them can be killed

when the water is boiled!"

Li Er nodded lightly, but in his heart he had to go down in the dark for a

while. All the water in the palace in the future would have to be boiled

before being used. The little lives that Li Zexuan said just now multiplied in

Li Tai’s stomach and gave him Disgusting, he Li Er is the ninety-five

venerable, but these gadgets are not allowed to offend his Long Wei!

"Just follow what you said~www.mtlnovel.com~ and order to go down in a while!

You remember to write what you just said in the "Datang Daily", and it is best

to let more people know the stakes~!"

Today's "Datang Daily" has become a force of public opinion that cannot be

ignored. In many cases, imperial court orders must be propagated through

newspapers.

Li Zexuan promised, even if Old Li didn't say it, he would do it.

"Um... Shanchang, where did the little life that caused cholera in the river

you mentioned earlier come from~?"

At this time, Li Tai, who was half leaning on the bed, asked weakly.

Li Zexuan turned his head, glanced at the baby sympathetically, and said:

"According to my estimation, it is very likely that the water in Bahe has been

contaminated by the feces of patients who had previously suffered from

cholera. By you guys..."
