As soon as Su Ran received the news of the plague outbreak in the newly expanded territories, his heart tightened. Knowing that this concerned the lives of countless citizens, every moment was precious. He immediately summoned the Head of the Imperial Hospital, the Minister of Works, the Minister of Revenue, and the officials responsible for the newly expanded territories to gather in the Imperial Study to discuss countermeasures.
Inside the Imperial Study, the atmosphere was heavy. With a stern expression and a piercing gaze that swept across everyone present, Su Ran said urgently: "The plague is raging in the newly expanded territories, plunging the people into immense suffering. This is the utmost top priority for our Great Qing right now. My lords, do you have sound strategies to deal with this sudden disaster?"
The Head of the Imperial Hospital hurried forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, this subject has made a preliminary assessment of the epidemic. The disease is spreading with extreme velocity, and its symptoms are diverse and baffling, making it deeply troublesome. The most urgent task right now is to immediately dispatch an experienced and highly skilled team of imperial physicians to rush to the affected area, equipped with ample medicines to treat the patients in a timely manner. At the same time, we must race against time to uncover the root cause of the plague; only then can we formulate a targeted and effective prescription."
