After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 342: Life-saving medicine, a true saving of the world
[March, the 13th year of Jingping]

【With the cultivation and application of bacterial strains, dozens of beneficial bacteria and special fusion bacteria have emerged. 】

【Because of the strong support of Chen Huaixin. 】

[Some drugs have also begun to emerge. ]

【For this purpose, Chen Huaixin convened a very important meeting. 】

【“About the focus of our work in the coming period.”】

[“There are three!”]

【“Drug research and human trials should go hand in hand.”】

[“So I have prepared these three directions for you.”]

【“Targeted drugs.”】

[“Specialized in treating special diseases, no matter what type of medicinal materials, as long as they are compatible and effective, just go ahead and research and develop them. Strong medicines can also cure serious diseases!”]

【“Immunological drugs.”】

[“Provide people with daily physical fitness, cold currents, dampness, heat, headaches, and fevers. Anything that can replenish qi should be put on the agenda.]

【“Special effects drugs!”】

[“In order to be effective in the shortest possible time, it must have an effect comparable to that of the legendary elixir. It must be effective quickly and can turn the tide and save lives.”]

[“Go ahead and do it. The future of Chengguo is in your hands!”]

[When this was said, the crowd became indignant.]

【Everyone present began to devote all their energy to this. 】

【Chen Huaixin’s previous promises to them are now vivid in their minds.】

【A panacea that can prolong life. 】

【A medical discovery that will go down in history. 】

【A name that can save the world through medicine. 】

[Any one of them is enough to drive them crazy. ]

[We have been able to reach this point thanks to Chen Huaixin’s leadership, so everyone is in awe of this far-sighted and caring emperor. 】

[July, the 13th year of Jingping.]

[Small-scale war broke out in the southeast.]

[The Yu Kingdom had strong soldiers and horses, so the war lasted less than half a month before it was completely suppressed.]

[Due to the hot weather and other issues, a large-scale epidemic suddenly broke out within three days after the end of the war. ]

[Three days of heavy rain followed, and the flood moved south.]

[Under the interweaving of cold and heat, the infection rate of infectious diseases and various sudden serious diseases in the entire region skyrocketed, and hundreds of people died in less than a month. Due to various problems, the local government failed to contain the situation in the first place, and the situation began to deteriorate. ]

【Six hundred miles, expedited.】

【Chang'an is shaken.】

[The message was quickly delivered to Chen Huaixin.]

……

"Hmph, here comes the opportunity."

The old imperial physician looked disdainful.

This is a good time to slap someone in the face.

Previously, Chen Huaixin constantly promoted his mysterious plans, even going so far as to win over so many people to go crazy with him.

Now it’s finally time to test the truth!
After spending so much manpower, material resources and financial resources, if we can't even solve this problem, I'm afraid we will have to wait for the people to issue an edict of remorse.

But in the eyes of this old imperial physician, this is a dead end.

Even if Chen Huaixin wanted to deal with it, it would be difficult to end it perfectly.

Epidemics like this are usually allowed to develop and external transmission is minimized as much as possible. Eventually, when the death toll reaches a certain level, the epidemic area is forcibly suppressed and blocked.

After that, corpses were burned outside the city, turning everything into scorched earth.

Although it is cruel, it is the only way to do it for the sake of the overall situation.

This is the most appropriate and thoughtful approach. At least this is what emperors of all dynasties have done when they have encountered such a situation. No matter how many people are sent, it will not work. In serious cases, it may cause a wider spread and death.

"Ugh……"

Even Wang Qianhe felt helpless.

At this time, it is difficult to say anything about him except to sigh.

It’s not that he doesn’t think highly of Chen Huaixin, but this kind of large-scale trouble is generally called a natural disaster.

Although there are elements of man-made disasters, they are force majeure.

Even if the whole country's strength is invested in it, it will be difficult to suppress it.

So letting it go and finally trying to force a way to end it was a helpless solution.

"His Majesty!"

Just when everyone was silent, the old imperial physician suddenly stood up with a confident look on his face.

"I am sure that Chen Huaixin will not be able to end this time. Even his mastery of national policy cannot turn the tide."

Ji Qingluo looked at the old man standing below with gloomy eyes, and was already feeling dissatisfied.

No matter who is the emperor, at least the people of the world are innocent.

Looking at the other party's gloating expression, it seems that he wishes more people of Yu country would die. Although he is a doctor, he does not have a heart to save the world, and his words are full of indifference.

really!

To be too old to die is to be a thief!

On the other side, the residence of the Fourth Princess.

Looking at the scene above the sky, Ji Changxi covered her red lips with her hands, her heart shaken.

When this natural disaster strikes, it will be difficult to save most people.

What's more, there is now a trend of disaster spreading. Although he approves of Chen Huaixin, he is still unsure at this moment.

……

[Chang'an City, above the Imperial Palace. ]

【Chen Huaixin stood with his hands behind his back.】

[The people standing below are the ones I have arranged. 】

[“Divide the troops into three groups.”]

[“The vanguard troops will lead the light escort of epidemic prevention drugs to reach the disaster area in the shortest possible time, isolate the periphery, and prevent the further spread of the epidemic within five days.”]

[“The medical team will arrive with supplies and medicines. You are allowed to travel slowly along the way, but you cannot delay for more than three days. You must enter the severely affected areas as soon as possible to distribute medicines. Bring my imperial order to summon local officials to cooperate. There must be no mistakes.”]

[“The follow-up troops will go and properly handle the matter, bury the dead, and pay out pensions. At the same time, the Ministry of Works will send people to ensure that the river is cleared and the local people’s livelihood is restored as soon as possible!”]

[“Go ahead with the Imperial Sword, as if I were here in person. If anyone dares to do something bad to stop me, I will kill them first and report to you later. I will exercise my power as I please!”]

[Everyone responded in unison, and then set off in a mighty procession.]

【The overall action is well-organized and progresses in an orderly manner. 】

[As a large group of people rushed to the disaster area in the southeast, rescue and epidemic prevention work were immediately launched. ]

[“The imperial court’s disaster relief troops are here!”]

[Amid the cries of the people, three groups of troops descended like gods.]

[We thought it would be a mess, but we didn’t expect the outbreak to be brought under control so quickly. ]

[After the first batch of drugs was administered, there were no new infections within two days.]

[The court's medical officers officially started to treat the patients, and within three days, the symptoms were effective, saving half of the patients with mild symptoms.]

[In less than eight days, basic livelihood resettlement work was completed, the epidemic was effectively controlled, drug treatment and diagnosis and treatment were carried out simultaneously, and the mortality rate was reduced to 1%. ]

【On the tenth day, the epidemic ended. 】

【The whole army retreats! 】

[The people bid farewell with tears, lining the streets to see them off, and a whole line of umbrellas accompanied the troops who came to provide disaster relief back to the capital.]
