Chapter 30 Shameless and crowned with monkeys
"Yes or no, General Cheng can give it a try! As the saying goes in ancient times, diseases were called wind, cold, dampness and heat, but there were people who were not wind, cold, dampness and heat and got sick due to the miscellaneous qi between the two. This is also called epidemic. The logic is simple, it is said
It's not easy to come out. It's just of some use!" Fang Jun said, not bothering to explain too much.
He didn't really understand this, he just thought it should be like this.
Cheng Chubi was stunned for a moment: "Mother, how come you have become so literary? Did you read some poems and books today that damaged your brain?"
Fang Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hand: "General Cheng, just give it a try! I have a few more! I am too lazy to say more about this, there are still things to be busy with! Let's go!"
After saying that, he didn't bother to pay attention to them, patted the horse's butt, and walked towards the place where the tiles were fired.
Cheng Chubi watched him walk away, frowning slightly, and took a look at the silk mask in his hand, with a trace of contemplation on his expression.
After thinking for a while, he said to the subordinate next to him: "Liu He, go call Dr. Chen and ask me if this method is right? The second son of the Fang family seems to have changed his temper. I don't know who he learned from it."
?”
"Yes!" Liu He hurriedly called a doctor over.
…
"What kind of fever is it? It's not wind, it's not cold, it's not heat, it's not dampness. It's just a strange feeling between heaven and earth. I don't know what he's talking about. Doctor Chen, what do you think?" Cheng Chubi
He looked at Dr. Chen and said.
Doctor Chen was a little confused.
"What is this?"
"It's a mask! It's used to prevent bad gas from entering the body, and it can also prevent saliva from invading the body. I guess the roommate mentioned it casually, and the general just wanted to ask if this method is effective!" Cheng Chubi said.
Doctor Chen shook his head and said: "That's nonsense! How can this thing stop the evil spirit from entering the body? Epidemics are caused by evil things. The theory of typhoid fever says that there are five types of typhoid fever, including stroke, typhoid fever, dampness and warmth, and heat.
Diseases include febrile diseases. What is appearing in places such as Chang'an and Guzhou now are febrile diseases. Most of them have symptoms such as cough, vomiting, fever, etc. How can it be solved with just a piece of cloth?"
Cheng Chubi heard this and said, "So this thing is useless?"
"It may have some effect! But it's not effective in treating patients!" Doctor Chen said, and he clasped his fists at Cheng Chubi: "If nothing happens, I will go back first, there are still patients over there!"
"Okay!" Cheng Chubi was a little disappointed and waved his hand.
It is obvious that what Fang Er is doing is nonsense and cannot be done seriously. If we want to get rid of the epidemic, we have to rely on His Majesty and Daozhang Sun.
Cheng Chubi thought about it and quickly put the matter behind him.
Fang Jun never thought about the role of masks. At best, they are just for protecting themselves. If they really want to cure the epidemic, they have to rely on Sun Simiao and others.
Others say that the ancients, even now many people still do not believe in the usefulness of words.
No matter what other people think, do it yourself.
I walked to the brick kiln and looked at the quality of the bricks. It was very good and almost reached the standard. As long as the temperature is higher and the quality is improved, it will be even better.
In fact, this brick kiln can not only bake bricks, but also porcelain, even blue and white porcelain, but there is no material.
Fang Jun is not in a hurry and takes his time. Now he has a lot of money in his hands, so he can just spend it slowly.
After working in the brick kiln for a while and giving instructions to the craftsmen, Fang Jun returned to the city.
Fang Jun spent the next few days in Chang'an City and rarely went out.
After Li Shimin ordered the epidemic to be dealt with, the situation in Chang'an City improved a lot and seemed to be under control, but it was different outside the city.
It is said that many victims have fled to Chang'an from Guzhou, Xuzhou and other places. Now they have gathered outside Chang'an City and are not allowed to enter the inner city.
There was nothing wrong with these people at first, but as more and more people gathered, some problems gradually appeared.
Without masks, the patients were all outside the city, and the plague began to rage. Although many doctors rushed outside the city for treatment, they still could not stop the spread of the plague.
Sun Simiao was also forced to rush back to Chang'an from Guzhou, where he made Tusu wine specifically for people in Chang'an to prevent it, and developed many medicines.
"A lot of people still died! It is said that twenty or thirty people were killed yesterday! It is still spreading!"
"Your Majesty invited people to host a land and water conference outside Chang'an City to drive away the plague ghosts, but it still didn't work!"
"Could it be that... the dead come back to claim their lives?"
"Many people say so! If this is true, then the Tang Dynasty is in danger! I heard that His Majesty was furious again at the court this morning!"
Many scholars in Feng Lai Tower were talking about it.
Due to the spread in the past few days, there are many fewer people in Fenglai Tower, but there are still many scholars gathering together to drink tea, discuss poetry, and discuss the imperial examination.
While chatting, someone suddenly laughed and said: "I wonder if anyone has heard of it. It is said that a few days ago, the second son of the Fang family took out something, similar to a girl's handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and vowed to follow
Cheng Chubi said it could prevent and cure epidemics, but Dr. Chen in the east of the city said it was nonsense. The funny thing is that the second roommate is still carrying this thing out with him these days!"
The scholar named Cui He'an also laughed and said: "I have heard about this too! Haha, it makes me laugh! These days, Fang Er is quite unconventional!"
"I guess I did this because I wanted to do something good for His Majesty. But I was reprimanded by the supreme doctor! They also said that febrile epidemic is a disease, not wind, not cold, not heat, not dampness, but a different kind of strange air between heaven and earth.
, I’m really laughing my ass off!”
Pei Qingyun was surprised and said: "He is so clever at every job?"
"That's right!" the first scholar said with a smile: "I'm afraid this Mr. Erlang is still a little unwilling to give up!"
Everyone was happy and said with a smile: "It is shameless to wear a hat and act like a monkey!"
"Why should we talk about him? It's really disappointing! We still drink wine and read poems. Now that the imperial examination is coming, we still need to talk about the questions set by the Hanlin!" Some other people said with a bored smile.
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but nod: "That's right! Why are we talking about him? Come on, let's read poetry and listen to the piano!"
Some jokes were circulated among the scholars, but they did not cause any trouble.
When the girl sitting on the third floor heard this, she frowned slightly, and a trace of boredom flashed in her beautiful big eyes.
…
Fang Jun had nothing to do at home, so he built a large roe deer garden, circled a piece of land, planted some grass and trees, and used it as his own private garden.
If you want to live comfortably, many places need to be adjusted.
Otherwise, there will be no place to spend your time.
After being busy for a while, I found a few maids to come over and play chess. I took them back and needed to go out.
Three days have passed, and the epidemic in the city has improved. Jinyang said that he can go out today, so he will pick her up later.
I haven’t seen you for three days, and I don’t know how the little girl is doing?
Fang Jun missed him very much.
I was playing chess with the maid when I suddenly saw Xiao He running outside with a panicked look on his face. He hit him and shouted: "Fang Erlangjun, the princess wants you to go to Fengyang Pavilion, Your Highness the Princess."
