Chapter 558: Avian Flu (3)
A tense atmosphere filled the ward.
Upon seeing the patient drink the medicinal soup, lie quietly on the bed, and gradually breathe more smoothly, Doctor Wang’s face immediately lit up with wild joy.
He quickly stepped forward to check the patient’s condition.
The wild joy on his face intensified.
He subconsciously wanted to cheer out loud.
But looking at the patient’s sleeping face, he forcibly held back the cheer that was on the tip of his tongue.
Seven courses, a full seven courses of treatment.
After taking the medicinal soup for seven courses, the patient’s condition finally began to recover.
He instructed a nearby nurse to look after the patient.
Doctor Wang rushed out, running wildly.
Inside the Medical Department, the door to the Disease Research Laboratory was abruptly pushed open.
Zhou Jingsheng and the other physicians subconsciously turned their heads.
They saw Doctor Wang, breathing heavily, but unable to hide the wild joy on his face.
Zhou Jingsheng and the others clearly realized something.
“Doctor Wang…”
“Dean, Dean, it’s a success! That prescription works, that prescription works!!”
After a brief silence, the entire Disease Research Laboratory erupted into complete exultation.
“It’s a success? We succeeded! We succeeded!!!”
At this moment, Zhou Jingsheng could swear to the heavens that in his more than 30 years of life, he had never lost his composure like this!
Since the outbreak of avian flu until now, every person in their Medical Department, as well as every doctor and nurse in the hospitals and nursing homes, had endured immense pressure and persevered until this moment!
The coughing, the patients’ painful cries, and the news of severely ill patients passing away, all of these tormented their spirits!
They even had to endure the pressure and test medications on some severely ill patients in the end.
Every day they lived in torment.
And now, they have succeeded! They truly succeeded!!
The pressure that had almost driven him to collapse desperately needed to be released.
At this moment, no words were needed.
Everyone in the laboratory shouted like madmen!
“Quick, tell people to prepare the medicine! Prepare as much as possible!”
“Oh, right, we also need to report this news to His Majesty!”
In fact, by the time Zhou Jingsheng came to report this matter to him, Luo Ji had already learned the news from the Mirror Division.
After all, for such a major event, how could he not have people keeping an eye on it?
But even so, upon confirming the news that the special medicine had been successfully developed from Zhou Jingsheng’s mouth once again, Luo Ji still couldn’t help but clench his fist tightly.
Luo Ji naturally wouldn’t be stingy with Zhou Jingsheng and the others who successfully developed the prescription.
He immediately bestowed lavish rewards upon them.
In addition, he also generously rewarded the ordinary doctors and nurses in the hospitals and nursing homes with money as a commendation.
After Zhou Jingsheng left, Luo Ji, completely relieved, slumped into his seat.
This period had been too difficult.
And now, he has finally made it through!
He stretched lazily.
Although it was only noon, Luo Ji felt he needed a short nap.
The mental pressure accumulated recently was too immense.
The moment he relaxed, he felt particularly exhausted.
Having had a good sleep, Luo Ji, full of energy the next day, dedicated himself to his work.
The news that the prescription to cure avian flu had been developed naturally needed to be widely publicized to stabilize the morale of the Myriad World Civilization.
At the same time, the number of patients who died during the avian flu outbreak also had to be publicly disclosed.
Regarding the concealment of patient deaths, Luo Ji, imitating some ancient emperors of the Celestial Dynasty, issued a ‘Decree of Self-Reproach.’
In this era, dying from illness was not uncommon.
While concealing the news of patient deaths was indeed wrong, it was ultimately done for the sake of the greater good.
It wasn’t a grave sin.
Luo Ji’s sincere attitude in his ‘Decree of Self-Reproach’ quickly earned him the understanding of most people within the civilization.
Of course, relatively, there were certainly a few individuals who could not accept it.
This, of course, included some family members of those who died from the illness.
Luo Ji actually felt a touch of guilt towards these family members.
Not much, just a touch.
Because illness was something even the emperor couldn’t control.
It was indeed regrettable that your family members died from illness.
But to demand compensation was truly nonsensical.
After all, he wasn’t the one who caused it.
However, this matter did remind him of something.
He could create “insurance!” Selling insurance was a good idea!
It could provide compensation to families who suffered accidents.
And it could also be used to raise funds and control the balance of the market economy.
However, Ye Qingxuan was clearly the expert in this area.
Luo Ji quickly sent her a message to inquire.
After they chatted for a while, Luo Ji was undoubtedly greatly enlightened.
Now, all that was left was to find a few suitable talents, and his ‘Myriad World Civilization Insurance Company’ could be officially established.
However, some rejoiced while others grieved.
At the same time, the owners of the poultry farms were truly not happy at all.
Several of them were so worried their hair was turning white.
Their farm businesses were no longer just “bleak,” in fact there was simply no business at all.
It was already good enough if passing citizens didn’t come to cause trouble for them and simply walked around them.
The most unfortunate of these bosses even woke up one morning to find their farms vandalized.
One boss was even dragged into an alley and severely beaten, suffering head injuries that sent him directly to the hospital.
This matter was somewhat delicate.
After the avian flu outbreak, and with so many deaths revealed, as the source of the avian flu, poultry farms were naturally bound to suffer the public’s indignation.
However, from a fair perspective, vandalizing others’ farms and assaulting people were indeed criminal acts.
The patrol team was at a loss for what to do.
The final report was sent to Luo Ji.
On one side was public sentiment, on the other was the law.
It was clearly another headache.
After a brief deliberation, Luo Ji directly issued another public announcement.
In the announcement, he once again clearly stated that poultry farms were also innocent victims of the disease, just like everyone else.
He hoped that everyone could view the matter rationally and not implicate others.
At the same time, for those who vandalized farms and assaulted people, clearly committing crimes, Luo Ji’s reply to the patrol team was only four words: Impartial enforcement of the law!
At such a time, there could be no compromise.
The law was the law, and it should be handled according to the law.
If it could be changed so casually, would it still be called law? The authority of these words in the hearts of the people would diminish significantly!
And with the Emperor’s four-word reply, the patrol team, which had been torn between two difficulties, suddenly felt their confidence soar.
That very day, several individuals were arrested on the spot, demonstrating remarkable efficiency.
