Just as Dongfang Jian and the others were discussing the matter, a bailiff ran in in a panic and shouted,"Sir, something bad has happened."

Dongfang Jian looked at the bailiff unhappily and said,""Why are you panicking? How many times have I told you guys to be calm and collected when you're in trouble? Have you forgotten?”Dongfang Jian had once said that no one was allowed to disturb him when he was in a meeting with everyone.

The bailiff obviously understood this principle. He quickly stopped talking and calmed his emotions. He took a deep breath and said calmly and quickly,"Milord, there really is a big disaster. Not long ago, there were refugees who came here with the plague. They kept it a secret, but now the illness has acted up. The illness is serious, and several people have also contracted the plague. The people are now in a panic. Those people want to leave, but they can't bear to. After all, there are too few places like Youzhou Province in this world. I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a way to survive if I leave here, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive if I don't leave here. Right now, our people have already gone over to maintain order and appease the people. Please think of a way to make a decision. In addition, regarding the culprits who brought the plague, the public is already agitated. As for how to make a decision, please make a decision as soon as possible.”

To be honest, Dongfang Jian could actually say that to this person in one breath. Where? He was full of admiration and surprise. However, the contents of this bailiff's words really made people unable to calm down. Dongfang Jian did not expect that he would really encounter a plague. He had only heard of it and knew that in this era, the plague was equivalent to death for the common people. No one could control the spread of the plague. Once it spread, death was waiting for them. He had repeatedly told his subordinates that all refugees must pay attention to their health and be careful of the spread of the plague. He did not expect that something would still happen. Everyone was speechless after hearing the bailiff's words. Many people present knew how terrifying the plague was. Some of them had never experienced it before, but they had heard it many times. If they had a good method, they would not have been stranded in a foreign land. Everyone present was frowning, almost everyone was thinking,

Dongfang Jian was worrying. The civil and military officials below were also very anxious when they heard this. Zhang Fei was an impatient person. He said to Dongfang Jian without caring,"Big Brother, why is there a plague here? What should we do? Big Brother, hurry up and say something. I, Old Zhang, am so anxious.”

Dongfang Jian was already worried, and after hearing Zhang Fei's loud voice, his head buzzed and his heart became even more chaotic. After all, Dongfang Jian had the knowledge of the past two thousand years and knew how to prevent and treat plagues in history. He was considered half an expert, especially since he had experienced the later generations. He ordered,"The most important thing now is to do the following: 1. Yuan Hao, you and Brother Yuancheng immediately go and invite all the doctors in the city over, and use garlic to smash and lime to disinfect all the dead corners of the city. 2. Wen Zhong, you and Xuan Gao will immediately send troops to surround the scene and quarantine all infected people, including those who have come into contact with them. Burn everything they have used. Give them new tools, check all the water sources in the city, or boil the drinking water. Don't drink water casually, cover the latrines, and place all the feces in the designated places. Those who have died of the disease will be burned to death, not leaving a trace. Moreover, the chopsticks used by infected people must be placed in boiling water before and after cooking a meal. 3. Gongda, Guorang, Yuanchang, you three immediately notify the entire Youzhou Province in the name of the Provincial Governor's Office. Have all the officials strictly investigate the refugees in all places. If they find any, they will be dealt with immediately. In addition, disperse all the uninfected people. Fourth, let everyone conduct self-inspection and help each other. If they find a plague patient, they will be rewarded with a pound. If the doctors have a way to control the epidemic, let them contribute the prescription. We will come forward, or the wealthy families and wealthy people in the city can buy the medicine and distribute it to the patients. This matter will be handled by Youcai and Wenhe. 5. All the troops of Youzhou Province are to stay in the camp. Without my order, no one is allowed to step out of the camp. Violators will be punished according to military law. You must strictly carry out this order when you return to the camp. Additionally, you must strictly investigate the plague carriers in each army.”

Everyone agreed and went to do what was arranged.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Dongfang Jian said,""Wait, there's one more important thing that I almost forgot. I remember reading a prescription on an ancient book a long time ago that told me how to prevent and cure the plague. I still remember those medicines. Now, I'll write down the names of these medicines. Yongping, send someone to buy them as many as you have. Don't worry about money. If you don't have enough money, you can ask Lord Zhen for it. Anyway, what we need to do now is to do our best to survive this crisis. Now, I'm announcing an order. All the officials in Youzhou Province must stay in the place with the most serious plague all day long unless there's a major event. That is to say, we have to eat and sleep with them. We have to let those commoners see us. In this way, they will be confident about defeating this plague. We have to make them believe that we will defeat this plague in the end. We have to make them believe that any natural disaster will fail in front of us. We will definitely win in the end, because there is nothing in the world that we humans can't do. Also, you must manage the army well. Before the plague receded, anyone who dares to leave the camp without permission will be dealt with according to military law.”

Dongfang Jian's words made everyone's blood boil. With such a benevolent ruler who placed the lives of the people above everything else, there was no need to worry about not achieving great things.

After Dongfang Jian finished speaking, Zhang Xun said,""My lord, speaking of famous doctor Xun, I have heard of a person called Hua Tuo. He is currently practicing medicine in the Yingchuan area. He had saved many people who had contracted the plague. Since the lord has thought of a cure and is not afraid of the plague, we have plenty of time. Why not invite Hua Tuo here to eliminate the disaster?”

Dongfang Jian was overjoyed when he heard Hua Tuo's name. His worries were swept away. Among the few famous ancient doctors that Dongfang Jian knew, such as Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao, Li Shizhen, and so on, Hua Tuo was the first in his heart. Usually, if a person's medical skills were described in a martial arts book, they would be given the nickname "Sai Hua Tuo". It could be seen how influential Hua Tuo was. If he was here, not to mention the plague this time, he would not be afraid of getting sick for the rest of his life. This was much better than the full-time doctors of modern leaders. It seemed that if he could do it well, it would not be a problem for him to enjoy it for another hundred or eighty years. Dongfang Jian understood and said anxiously,""That's good. Quickly lead me to invite him. I'll go myself. We must invite Hua Tuo.”

Zhang Xun quickly stopped him and said,"My lord, slow down." Hua Tuo is a doctor everywhere and has no fixed residence. If you go to invite him personally, where can you find him? Besides, Youzhou can't leave you now. Why don't we release the news that there's a plague in Youzhou and we urgently need famous doctors? I think that Hua Tuo has become a natural doctor and will definitely not refuse. He will definitely be invited. At that time, the Lord will treat him with generous gifts. Wouldn't it be safe?”

Dongfang Jian nodded in agreement. More than ten days later, Hua Tuo really came. Dongfang Jian hurried to welcome Hua Tuo with a grand ceremony. He ordered all the people in charge to go out of the city to welcome him. Dongfang Jian looked at Hua Tuo. He had white hair, a youthful face, a snow-white beard, and a ruddy face. His eyes were bright and sparkling, and he walked as fast as a shooting star and as light as a civet cat. However, no matter where he stood, he was as unmoving as a mountain, like a pine tree. He had the air of an immortal.

Dongfang Jian sighed in admiration when he saw this. This old man was really spirited. Dongfang Jian sighed in admiration, but he didn't slow down at all. He quickly rushed to Hua Tuo, bowed impolitely, and said warmly,""Old Mister Hua, we have been waiting for you. You've worked hard on the journey. Please enter the city. I have already arranged a banquet for you in the Provincial Governor's Estate to welcome you.”

Although Hua Tuo had always treated people with respect, he had received such a grand reception when he had just arrived. Moreover, he had received such a warm and sincere reception. This was the first time. He was also very touched, but he was worried about the patient's safety. He still said to Dongfang Jian,"Thank you for your kindness, but treating the patient is more important. The patient can't wait and can't be delayed. Please take me to see the patient first.”

Dongfang Jian was so touched that tears almost flowed out of his eyes. What a good old man. Compared to the incident he had heard about back then, where even the hero who saved him almost bled to death because he had no money, it was really a world of difference. "Alright, alright, we'll listen to Old Mister Hua's arrangements," Dongfang Jian said hurriedly.”

Dongfang Jian led Hua Tuo to the place where the patients were. Along the way, Dongfang Jian told Hua Tuo about the measures he had taken after the outbreak of the plague. Hua Tuo also praised him greatly. He said that if all the prefectures and villages could deal with the plague like Dongfang Jian did, the plague would not be so serious.

Hua Tuo came to Ji County and saw the patients. He prescribed them some medicine. Within a few days, the patients were all stabilized. At this time, all the places in Youzhou had sent back intelligence that the refugees had been checked and no plague carriers had been found. Dongfang Jian finally felt relieved after hearing that. If such a thing really happened, it would be a large-scale one. At that time, Youzhou would become a dead state, and everyone's expression would change when they talked about it.

Hua Tuo stayed in Ji County for more than ten days and checked on all the patients. Seeing that all the patients were almost cured, he wanted to leave.

When Dongfang Jian heard that Hua Tuo wanted to leave, it was still okay. If he left, who would he go to find his own medic? No, he had to find a way to make him stay.

Dongfang Jian saw that Hua Tuo was about to leave and tried his best to stop him. Tian Feng and the others chimed in,""Old Man Hua, you and my lord hit it off at first sight. That was your fate. Moreover, you are not young anymore, and your bones can endure a few years of torture. Why don't you stay in Youzhou? My lord will definitely treat you well.”

Hua Tuo was tempted, but he was still a little hesitant. He said vaguely,""Hua Tuo is grateful for your kindness, but Hua Tuo has made up his mind to treat the world and save people. If he stays here for a long time, I'm afraid he will violate his oath.”

Dongfang Jian knew that there was a way out of this. He thought about the evaluation of Hua Tuo in history. Hua Tuo was a medical expert at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was born in Qiao, Peiguo (now Qiaocheng District, Bozhou City, Anhui Province). According to historical research, he was born in the first year of Yongjia of Han Dynasty (145 AD) and died in the 13th year of Jian 'an (2 AD). 8 years). This was very suspicious. This was because the Biography of Hua Tuo in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty had records of Hua Tuo's "age of almost 100 years old, but he still had a strong appearance, and people at that time thought he was an immortal." There were also records of him living to 150 years old and still maintaining the appearance of a 60-year-old, and he had white hair and a youthful face. According to this, Hua Tuo might have lived for more than 64 years. The era that Hua Tuo lived in was the end of the Eastern Han and the beginning of the Three Kingdoms. At that time, the warlords were in chaos, floods and droughts were rampant, diseases were prevalent, and the people were in dire straits. At that time, a famous poet, Wang Can, wrote two sentences in his Seven Sorrow Poetry: "I can't see anything when I go out. White bones cover the plains." This was a true reflection of the social situation at that time. Witnessing this situation, Hua Tuo hated the evil feudal despots and sympathized with the oppressed and exploited working people. For this reason, he did not want to be an official. He would rather hold the Golden Hoop Bell and run around to relieve the sufferings of the people.

When Hua Tuo was young, he had traveled to Xuzhou to study. He was also proficient in several classics and was familiar with the art of cultivating one's nature. According to historical records, he was nearly fifty years old, but his appearance was as good as that of a prime minister. He was straightforward and strong, indifferent to fame and fortune. He had refused Taiwei Huang Wan's recruitment to serve as an official and declined Pei Xiang Chen. He was willing to be an ordinary folk doctor and use his medical skills to relieve the pain of his patients. He was happy to get close to the masses and traveled all over Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui, Henan and other places, winning the faith and love of the masses.

He did not seek fame and wealth, which allowed Hua Tuo to concentrate on the study of medicine. The Biography of Hua Tuo in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty said that he was "proficient in several classics and knew the art of cultivating one's nature", especially "proficient in prescriptions". People called him the " Divine Doctor." He had once compiled his rich medical experience into a medical work called the Green Bag Sutra, but unfortunately, it was not passed down. However, it couldn't be said that his medical experience was completely lost because of this. Because many of his accomplished students, such as Fan Ah, who was famous for acupuncture, Wu Pu, who wrote Wu Pu's Materia Medica, and Li Dangzhi, who wrote Materia Medica Classic, had inherited part of his experience. As for Hua Tuo's Zhong Zang Jing, it was a work of the Song Dynasty and was published under his name. However, it might also include some of the surviving works of Hua Tuo.

Dongfang Jian deliberately reprimanded Hua Tuo,""Old Man Hua's words are different. With your strength alone, how many people can you save? Besides, Old Man Hua, you have noble medical ethics and don't charge the poor for treatment. However, you have to take medicine to treat the disease, and taking medicine always costs money. With Hua Weng's poverty, how can he afford the medicine of several people? Old Man Hua, please think about it. With your strength alone, how many states and counties can you travel to? From the east to the west, from the south to the north, if the disease broke out in Kansai, you would go to Kansai, and if the disease broke out in Guandong, you would go to Guandong. When you were there, the disease could still be controlled, but when you left, the disease would break out again. Moreover, a person's energy was limited. Even if you could not help but rest day and night, how many people could you treat? " Isn't such a stupid method just treating the head and feet when the head hurts and the feet hurt? Besides, as Yuan Hao said just now, Old Man Hua is old after all. Although his body is strong, his body is..." Dongfang Jian was about to say that his body is the capital of revolution, but he thought that something was wrong. How could people nowadays know about revolution? If he had to explain it, it would be too far away. "What's your body?" Dongfang Jian quickly corrected himself. The body was the root of healing. As long as Old Hua is willing to stay and help me, you can accept disciples from me, establish a sect, and establish a medical school. In this way, the number of disciples you teach will increase the number of hands that can help you with your ambition of treating illnesses and saving lives. And it wasn't Jian boasting, everyone knew Jian's character. In the future, I'll help you with medicine. Moreover, you have been staying here for a few days and have a very harmonious relationship with everyone. Everyone is reluctant to part with you. As long as you stay, I will naturally not treat you slowly. "Moreover, if you open a medical school here, with your medical skills, medical ethics, and many disciples, it's not difficult for your sect to prosper. At that time, you'll write books and make the medical school and Imperial College equal. Not only will it be famous in the present world and benefit the present generation, but it'll also be immeasurable merit, passing on the good name of the future generations, and showing the achievements of the future generations. Old Man Hua, you have to think twice."

Hua Tuo said," It is true that it is difficult for Hua Tuo to save the world by himself. However, since Hua Tuo has chosen to make a living by hanging a pot to help the world, he will not let down the art of Qihuang that he has learned."”

Dongfang Jian smiled and said," That's not necessarily true. I intend to set up a medical officer for Doctor Hua in Youzhou. Old Man Hua can teach his disciples in the clinic. After these disciples learn the superb medical skills of Doctor Hua Tuo, they can go out and treat the world. By then, they can save more people. Isn't it better for you to save the world than to do it alone?"”

These words were reasonable. Hua Tuo also did not want his brilliant medical skills to be lost, so he could not help but feel a little moved. Dongfang Jian then continued," Old Man Hua might have learned about this on his way to Youzhou. I value people with skills. Regardless of their status, as long as they have skills and can benefit the people and the country, they will be recorded in history books.”

At that time, practicing medicine was a profession that only people of low status would do, and their social status was not high. Doctors also hoped that they could open their own medical centers and not have to travel around the countryside all day. As for the history of celebrities and writing books, it was even more tempting for them. Hua Tuo was slightly tempted. As expected, Hua Tuo was moved beyond words by Dongfang Jian's words, and tears flowed from his old eyes. Moreover, Dongfang Jian had stirred up his fighting spirit. Although his eyes were filled with tears, they were still shining brightly. Dongfang Jian was a little dazzled by the light. Hua Tuo puffed out his chest and said to Dongfang Jian in high spirits,""It is rumored that Master Dongfang is incomparably benevolent, caring for the world, and treating the people well. It is truly the people's blessing that you can treat the people well. This old man is ignorant and muddle-headed all my life. Fortunately, you have pointed it out today. This old man is enlightened. Moreover, Daren was right. How many people could Hua Tuo save by himself? Only by opening a medical center and teaching the children could more people be saved. How could one person's strength compare to the strength of everyone?”Hua Tuo bowed deeply to Dongfang Jian.

Dongfang Jian helped Hua Tuo up and said," Old Man Hua, you have such intentions. It's really a blessing for Youzhou, the world, and the people.”

Actually, although Dongfang Jian said so, he was secretly delighted." I didn't expect that you, Hua Tuo, still couldn't get rid of the shackles of fame and fortune.

In less than three days, a large-scale medical center had been established in Ji County. This medical center not only treated the local people, but also recruited apprentices and gave them free medical treatment. All the people were delighted. Dongfang Jian had a good reputation in Youzhou Province. Additionally, after the plague, Dongfang Jian and his friends were always in the most dangerous frontline, which touched many people. From then on, Dongfang Jian's reputation was well-known all over the world. His prestige and prestige skyrocketed.

However, this clinic first trained a group of surgeons who were good at treating external injuries. After learning medicine from Hua Tuo for a period of time, these people became military doctors who went to war with the army and later became the first batch of professional military doctors in the new empire.
