In the first year of Qin Shi Huang, there was a plague in Kuaiji.
Under the imperial rule, there were countless deaths and injuries. The villages and towns around the county city were even empty…
"Sigh!"
In the temporary charity hall, Kuaiji County Chief Fu Luo couldn't help but sigh.
Every wail of the disaster victims lying in front of him was like thunder striking his heart!
Although it was called a charity hall, it was actually just made up of a few large pieces of wood, just to block the wind and rain.
It wasn't that Kuaiji was poor, it was just that this plague had affected too many people!
"Has the Imperial Court replied?"
Hearing Fu Luo's question, the servant beside him had a grave expression and shook his head.
" Lord County Governor, the imperial court has sent dozens of physicians here. They have been working hard day and night, but to no avail…"
" There were even a few people who died during the test…"
Fu Luo immediately snorted coldly when he heard the attendant's words. He clenched his teeth tightly and looked at the figures in white medical robes in front of him. However, he could only let go.
He knew that these doctors were kind, but they were not capable enough...
"The county governors have reported that as of this morning, hundreds of thousands of people have been infected by the plague in Kuaiji!”
"From the despots to the farmers and soldiers, there are bedridden patients, and the casualties are also…"
Without waiting for the servant to finish his report, Fu Luo waved his hand with a pained expression, unwilling to continue listening.
Other than feeling heartache for the people, the Kuaiji County Chief was also very worried about his future and even his life!
If such a major event happened while he was in office, it might even spread to other parts of the empire…
With the strictness of the Qin laws and the killing of the First Emperor, it was unknown whether he could keep his head!
Just as Fu Luo was feeling frustrated and was about to return home, a young voice stood out from the wails.
"Malarias occur mostly in spring and summer, and are mostly caused by mosquitoes.”
"The infected have a fever but don't sweat, lie in bed and feel weak, and the critically ill will die from the fire in their hearts.”
Who was it?
Under the puzzled gazes of Fu Luo and the others, a young man in plain clothes slowly walked in. He looked at the room full of patients with a calm expression.
"Who are you?"
"This kid, Qin Xiao, greets Lord County Governor.”
Seeing that Qin Xiao was an unfamiliar face, yet he described the situation of the epidemic so accurately, Fu Luo's eyes immediately lit up.
"Sir is a doctor. What can you cure?”
Hearing this term that was born at least a thousand years later appear in the mouth of the Qin Dynasty's county governor, Qin Xiao could not help but feel a little comical. However, he only cupped his hands.
"It can be cured."
Without waiting for Fu Luo's reply, a few imperial physicians sent by the imperial court surrounded him.
The leader had white hair and a white beard. He spoke righteously.
"Young man, you really have big words!”
"This plague is so ferocious that I have been practicing medicine for decades without any cure.”
After saying that, he looked at Fu Luo at the side and spoke sincerely.
"Lord County Governor, this child's expression is so frivolous in front of a room full of patients. It's definitely not a performance that a doctor should have!”
Hearing the old imperial physician's words, the few imperial physicians beside him nodded repeatedly, their eyes burning.
When Fu Luo heard this, his heart couldn't help but waver.
Yes, this person in front of him was indeed too young, and he did not look like an otherworldly expert…
When Qin Xiao saw this, he did not feel surprised in his heart.
As the saying goes, empty words have no evidence, only ability can show the truth. He naturally came prepared this time!
"Which one of you wants to live?"
Qin Xiao asked in a clear voice, his tone extremely normal.
The patients who were tortured by the plague to the point of delirium did not have the mood to think anymore. They immediately responded with their greatest strength.
"Sir, save me!"
"I don't want to die. I still have a wife and child…"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao immediately walked quickly to the side of a patient and said in a bad mood.
"I know. You're the only one with a wife and children?”
Although he was complaining, he still quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and poured the medicinal liquid into the person's mouth.
"How dare you!"
Seeing that Qin Xiao actually directly touched his patient, the old imperial physician also walked over quickly, blowing his beard and glaring.
In his opinion, this young man in front of him was a lunatic who was completely harming people's lives!
"Lord County Governor, this child is crazy and treats human lives like grass. He deserves to be killed!”
Without waiting for her husband to give the order, a few armored soldiers had already surrounded her. Their eyes were filled with anger as they looked at Qin Xiao.
They were also from Kuaiji, and they wanted to speak up for their fellow countrymen!
When Qin Xiao saw this, he still had a calm expression. He just leaned against the wall at the side, his posture could be said to be sloppy.
"Lord County Governor, don't be anxious.”
"If my prescription is useless and really kills someone, it won't be too late to take this kid's life to pay for it.”
Seeing how confident Qin Xiao was, Fu Luo, who already had fantasies in his heart, immediately nodded and gestured for the soldiers to retreat.
"Sir, how long will it take?"
"One hour is enough."
"Alright, then we'll wait for an hour!"
Hearing the Prefectural Governor's words, the old imperial physician who was leading the group could only snort coldly and retreat to the side.
" He's struggling on his deathbed. What a lunatic…"
However!
An hour later, the patient who was fed the medicinal liquid by Qin Xiao actually recovered at an astonishing speed!
His forehead, which was originally burning with a high fever, was no longer burning, and his body was gradually warming up!
"Water, I want to drink water!"
Just the sound alone was many times louder than before!
Seeing that the patient in front of him had really improved, Fu Luo immediately laughed out loud. He quickly walked forward and actually cupped his hands at Qin Xiao.
"The heavens really won't give up on me!”
"Sir is really a godly doctor. I'm convinced!”
Qin Xiao cupped his hands together and smiled when he saw Fu Luo being so polite.
"Continue to take this medicine for three days. Change the water towel more every day, open the window and let the air circulate.”
As he said this, he looked around and said thoughtfully,
" However, the ventilation here is quite good. There isn't even a window…"
Hearing this, Fu Luo's face flushed red. He smiled awkwardly and then sighed.
"Mister, you might not know, but my Kuaiji is a rich place, but it is the most severely affected by the plague, so I have no choice but to use this method!”
" Such an elixir is probably a treasure. With the number of people infected in our county, I'm afraid…"
When Qin Xiao heard this, he immediately took out five or six small porcelain bottles from his pocket as if he was performing a magic trick and casually placed them on the table at the side.
"How is this a heavenly treasure?"
"Sweet wormwood, three baht for two buckets. Chop it up and boil it in water. Then filter out the dregs.”
His words shocked everyone present!
Sweet wormwood?
Wasn't this thing used by the poor to cook porridge to satisfy their hunger when they had no other choice? It actually had such an effect?
Suddenly, a few beggars that ran past the charity hall attracted Fu Luo's attention.
Yes, none of these beggars who ate sweet wormwood seemed to be infected. They were all full of vigor!
"Men!"
"I want as much wormwood as you have. Do as Mr. Qin says. Go quickly!”
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing that there was a solution to the vicious plague, not to mention Fu Luo, even the manservants were full of energy and ran out in a flash!
"If Mister doesn't mind, why don't you stay in my residence for a few days and recommend me to the Imperial Court…"
Qin Xiao immediately nodded when he heard that.
He had passed through Great Qin with the intention of making a name for himself and changing the fate of the second generation of Great Qin!
But now, he still had a breath to take…
"Old sir, how is my mad man's earth?”
The old imperial physician, who was already rather embarrassed, saw Qin Xiao smiling as he came to slap his face, and his old face turned even redder.
"You, you!"
Before he could finish his words, he swallowed his words in anger!
"Old mister!"
"Old mister!"
For a moment, the imperial physicians who came with him were in a mess, anxious like ants on a hot pan!
When Qin Xiao saw this, he was also quite surprised.
He didn't expect this old man to be such a useless doctor…
Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes.
"Alright, another one to treat."
……
Three days later, at Zhangtai Palace in Xianyang!
On the main road of the Imperial City, a figure galloped on a horse, and the Black Dragon Flag fluttered loudly!
"800 Li emergency report!"
"800 Li emergency report!"
A moment later, the messenger quickly walked into the emperor's study and bowed deeply in front of the Ancestral Dragon!
"Your Majesty, Kuaiji has an urgent report!"
Hearing that it was an urgent report from Kuaiji, the originally calm and composed First Emperor frowned slightly.
This great plague had affected all of Great Qin, but even if all of the other places were added up, it would not be as much as Kuaiji County!
The imperial court had sent several imperial physicians, but there was still no good news…
"Presented!"
"Here!"
When the Ancestral Dragon opened the case and browsed through the contents, the solemn expression on his face gradually disappeared and was replaced by surprise and joy!
In three days, the plague was controlled in all parts of Kuaiji, and the number of casualties did not increase!
Most of the people with mild illnesses had recovered, and those with severe illnesses had also improved significantly!
The entire county was returning to normal at an extremely fast speed. There were even a few troops coming to Xianyang to change their guard…
"My husband falls in."
"This time, the plague is raging. Because of my lack of virtue, I can't do anything for a long time. This is my sin!”
"However, the heavens bless Qin Tong. Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, a young man contributed a treatment method. In just a few days, tens of thousands of sick people were cured one after another.”
"This young man's name is Qin Xiao, and he also has the surname Qin. I'm counting on Your Majesty's great blessing.”
After reading the last few lines of the document, the Ancestral Dragon could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly, feeling quite surprised.
How could a young man solve the plague that had plagued the empire for so long?
"Qin Xiao…"
As he silently recited this name, the corners of the Ancestral Dragon's mouth gradually curled up. His pair of dragon eyes gradually revealed a hint of interest.
A wise ruler is the best at using people.
The reason why the Great Qin Empire was able to unify Huaxia was not only because of Ying Zheng's great talent, but also because of the countless talents that the previous kings had recruited and accumulated...
If this Qin Xiao was really so powerful, then he might as well see it with his own eyes!
At the thought of this, the First Emperor waved his hand and spoke in a dignified voice.
"Get Zhang Han to prepare a carriage and be on standby.”
"In a few days, I might want to go out for a walk.”
