NOVEL NEXT Emperor Ming Dynasty
Chapter 30 The Great Epidemic
Chapter 30 The Great Epidemic
Great plague, the great plague of summer.
For things like plague, the hotter the weather, the wider the spread.
The group of people were extremely frightened. To Zhu Yixi, the pedestrians on the road looked like zombies with infectious diseases, which was extremely terrifying.
When they arrived in Xi'an City, coffins had been sent out continuously in front of Yongning Gate, a piece of plain, a piece of mourning, and a strong smell of paper money rushed into the nostrils.
"Not good!" Zhu Yixi was shocked, turned her head and said, "The plague has already spread to Xi'an City."
When the carriage entered the city, it was interrogated and had to show the token of the chief medical officer to pass.
Sure enough, after going to the city, the city of Xi'an became more and more withered, and there were few people in the lively grain shop with long queues.
On both sides of the street, almost every family wears sackcloth and filial piety, which can be described as a tragedy in the world.
Zhu Yixi hurriedly ordered: "Take the prince to my house to cultivate."
"Your Majesty, my house has a spacious courtyard, and there are plenty of rooms. You can stay here with peace of mind, and nothing will happen."
Immediately, Zhu Yixi stepped on his horse, covered his mouth and nose, and went to the Governor's Mansion.
It doesn't matter if other people die, but Sun Chuanting can't have any accidents, just borrow the chicken to hatch the eggs!
"Is Chief Physician Zhu's family so spacious?" Wang Yan asked strangely.
"Our house is in the former Jinyiwei Qianhu House. It can accommodate hundreds of people. It is naturally spacious!" Thirteen said proudly.
"That's true!" Wang Yan shuddered all over, hearing Jin Yiwei's name made people shudder.
……
When Zhu Yixi came to the governor's mansion, he saw that the mansion was waiting in full force. Even relying on his previous relationship, he had to wait for a while.
After a while, he waited for Governor Sun's order.
"Zhu Yixi has met Governor Xian!"
He hastily bent down and bowed his hands.
"Jingming, you're back!"
Sun Chuanting sat on the chair with a serious expression on his face. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. His already gray hair was more and more withered at this moment.
"You have also seen the situation in Xi'an City. Hundreds of people go out for funerals every day. If it continues for a few months, there will be no one in Xi'an City."
"Is the army safe?" Zhu Yixi asked hurriedly.
"It's okay in the army, but the drills have been tight recently!"
Speaking of this, Sun Chuanting showed a smile: "Thanks to the plague prevention you made, lime, hot water, etc., the effect is good, and there are not many infections in the Qin army."
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, stood up and said, "I don't know if these measures of yours are effective now?"
"The plague has spread, and these measures should have some effect."
Zhu Yixi thought for a while, then remained silent for a while, before saying, "The most important thing right now is to isolate the plague from the remaining living people."
"How to isolate?" Sun Chuanting asked.
"Burn the corpses, clean up the filth, sprinkle with lime, and drink plenty of hot water."
Zhu Yixi confided in every word.
According to the knowledge of later generations, the infection of the plague is basically saliva, water, and air.
Therefore, as long as the patients and corpses are destroyed humanely, and then the source of infection is blocked, it will be almost the same.
"Okay!" Sun Chuanting got up, and said with satisfaction on his face: "From today onwards, I will order you to be the chief inspector of plague prevention, and let Chang'an and Xianning counties cooperate with you."
Zhu Yixi frowned, this is a thankless thing, but as a subordinate, solving problems for the superior is the only way to get promoted.
Therefore, Zhu Yixi agreed, which made Sun Chuanting very relieved, but he also knew that it was a bit embarrassing, so he couldn't help asking: "Do you have any difficulties or conditions? Once you tell me, I will help you solve it."
This is a qualified superior.
Zhu Yixi was a little satisfied, so he said: "The yamen servants alone are not enough. I have to organize 2000 people and transfer 2000 people from the army to cover the entire city of Xi'an."
"In addition, the plague is invisible and horrifying. The governor must dispatch ten thousand taels of silver as a reward."
"Okay!" Sun Chuanting nodded, and said generously at this time: "If you don't have enough money, you can ask me to raise it again, but Xi'an City must not become a ghost town, let alone endanger the army."
The people of Xi'an are the cornerstone of producing food and maintaining the army. Once it collapses, the Qin army will naturally find it difficult to maintain.
Just like in Beijing in history, when Chongzhen hanged himself, half of the population of the capital was directly lost due to the plague, and there were not enough soldiers to guard the city, and there were no soldiers in the Beijing camp.
After accepting the task, Zhu Yixi bid farewell.
For these 2000 people, he feels that if they manage well, they may become his real team.
So how to choose and what kind of person to choose, naturally you have to know the bottom line.
"Meow——" Suddenly, a cat meowed in his ears, and he turned his head to see that there was a chubby white cat hiding under the eaves, extremely cute.
"Yunnu——" At this time, a fair-skinned girl ran over. She was wearing a green and white dress, her skin was extraordinarily tender and fair, her facial features were exquisite, and she looked quite virtuous.
Behind her, two maidservants came running panting, seeing the white cat under her feet, she instantly became happy.
"Miss, you are polite!" Zhu Yixi cupped his hands, then picked up the cat and handed it to the timid girl: "This raccoon slave seems to be quite good at running."
"Yes!" Holding the white cat, the girl lowered her head shyly, then turned her head, hesitated for a while, and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu Lang."
"It should be!" Zhu Yixi cupped his hands, smiled, and left gracefully.
With his current status, he definitely has no chance with such a noble lady. He still has to be taboo against men and women.
"Sister, did Yun Nu run away again?"
The fat baby damselfly rubbed the white cat's head, and said somewhat dissatisfied: "If you come again, I will throw you away."
"Forget it!" Xueniang smiled, with a smile in her eyes: "It is also crazy about catching butterflies, what does it know?"
"Why are you so happy?" Damiana asked strangely: "In the past, if Yunu ran away, you would have to cry, why are you still a little happy today?"
"nothing!"
Xue Niang hugged Yun Nu and turned around directly: "Go back, it must be hungry and needs to be fed."
"Humph!"
Where did the damselfly get fooled? She turned her head, looked at her sister's two servant girls, her eyes lit up, and asked directly, "Who did my sister meet today?"
……
When they got home, Wang Yan's family had already settled down and lived in the West Wing. The huge yard can be lived in simply by tidying up.
When he came back, even though he was terrified of Jinyiwei, Wang Wei still said: "Your Majesty abolished the post station, official documents are difficult to reach the nine sides, and abolishing Jinyiwei is like poking your own eyes. Except for the capital, the rest of the place will be blackened."
"This is the upside-down of the universe, where the place is heavy and the center is light."
"You're right!" Zhu Yixi smiled, and couldn't help feeling emotional: "But it hasn't been a while. From the Wanli period to the present, for decades, Liaodong has been controlled by dozens of generals, with tens of millions of taels of silver. people? How many people have been ruined?"
