Li Min walked towards Anlefang. At this time, the entire Anlefang was surrounded. The army had taken control of the place. No one except them could come in and out at will.
No one can get out from here, and no one dares to come in.
As he walked, he saw a beautiful figure appearing in front of him.
It was Ji Ruxue. She was wearing a mask at this time. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, her whole temperament was enhanced by the mask.
As soon as she saw Li Min appeared.
Just trotted over.
The soldiers on the side were dumbfounded.
After all, the person in front of her is a famous beauty in the entire Chang'an city.
Everyone is envious of Li Min's good fortune.
When Ji Ruxue arrived.
He said: "Mr. Zili!"
"Well! Now His Majesty has released 800,000 taels, and I want you to supervise and supervise the production of 100,000 masks in two days!"
Providing 100,000 masks in two days was not a difficult task for the group, but now the situation is different. All the manpower has been transferred to other places, and there are not many people available for Ji Ruxue.
"But we don't have enough manpower!"
Li Min also knew about this.
He thought of the Cui family, now is the time for them to show off.
"You can let the Cui family join in and let them do it together!"
"Understood! In this case, that's okay!"
"Also, I want you to vaccinate everyone with the vaccine from my laboratory!"
Li Min said.
"But the one you had before?"
"That's right. After my testing, the method works!"
"You are too risky! Why don't you let others try it first?"
"I will only do things I am sure of, so don't worry about this! You must vaccinate everyone! But if you have had smallpox, you can avoid vaccination. It may be a little uncomfortable at first, but after a few days
It will recover. Minor reactions can be overcome. If not, I have medicines made by me in my laboratory, and there are corresponding medicines on them that can prescribe the right medicine!"
Li Min thought a lot and considered all possibilities.
"clear!"
"Okay, you can go back!"
"Then you must be careful!"
"Go for it!"
Li Min turned around and jumped into the fight against the epidemic.
Ji Ruxue reluctantly left Anlefang.
Under Li Min's leadership, the condition in Anlefang gradually turned around.
But other parts of Chang'an City are not good.
From time to time, a case would appear, and once a case occurred, a place would be sealed off. The army began to be short of manpower. Fortunately, people volunteered to join in and resist together, so the situation eased a bit.
…
At this time, in the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin was listening to a report on the smallpox epidemic.
He felt shocked at first, and then felt relieved.
Then I was puzzled again.
The mood is very strange.
"What did you say? Smallpox also appeared in five other districts in Chang'an?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, but fortunately the Sixth Prince made preparations in advance and sealed off the place where smallpox was found! They also distributed something called a mask, which is said to prevent the invasion of smallpox. Strangely enough, after having a mask, you can't get sick
There are fewer and fewer people!”
"Mask? What is it? It can be so magical!"
Li Shimin said in confusion.
Then someone took one out.
He also gestured and said that as long as you protect your mouth and nose, you won't get sick!
Li Shimin found it novel.
Why is this Li Min's head so useful?
He is thinking!
Queen Changsun on the side said:
"I said he can do it! What he did is really surprising. The Tang Dynasty is really lucky to have him. Perhaps he was sent by God to help your majesty rule the world!"
Li Shimin was silent.
Maybe you are thinking about what Queen Changsun said.
"Two more things!"
The eunuch said half of what he said, but did not say it.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly. Do you want to scare me to death?"
"The sixth prince spent tens of thousands taels to buy a batch of sick cows. When the eldest son Shunde questioned this, he slapped him three times!"
"What did this kid do to buy this sick cow? And beat up his grandson Shunde? Why? This is power, but he still hasn't changed!"
Li Shimin was puzzled.
Queen Changsun said: "Maybe it's because of the smallpox treatment?"
“What does sick cows have to do with smallpox?”
Li Shimin asked back. Next, his focus was not on the beating of his eldest grandson Shunde, but on the sick cow.
After all, that’s where the money is spent.
How could Queen Changsun know this?
"I don't know this either, but there must be a reason for him to do this!"
"Well, three days have passed in the past ten days, and he still has seven days left. Although the number of smallpox cases has decreased, he has not completely eradicated smallpox. I am still a little worried! After all, there was no cure for this disease before.
of!"
It would be a lie to say that he was not worried. Li Shimin was very cautious about smallpox. If it weren't for Sun Simiao's insistence, he might not reuse Li Min. Now it was equivalent to placing all the bets on Li Min.
I want to succeed, but I am afraid of failing miserably.
Li Shimin felt very conflicted.
"Your Majesty, everything is going well. Even if it cannot be eliminated, it will take a month and a half. As long as the disease can be controlled, the people will survive. Isn't that a thing to be thankful for?"
"right!"
Li Shimin sighed.
Then something came to mind.
"You said there was another thing?"
he asks.
At this time, the eunuch said: "The Ministry of Revenue has said that the production of masks will be increased recently, and for the supply of some raw materials, the famous families have uniformly raised the prices, making our costs extremely high. If we continue like this, it will cost 800,000 yuan."
I’m afraid they will be consumed soon! Also, they have raised the price of food!”
Regarding this matter, it is because the family is profitable, and every little bit it can make is worth it.
This made Li Shimin very angry.
Some time ago, an inscription was erected to let the family know about the epidemic, and they also contributed money. Overall, the state treasury made hundreds of thousands of taels.
But the money doesn't mean they can do whatever they want.
It doesn't mean that Li Shimin won't take action on them.
Especially when the epidemic is serious, they dare to do this, it is simply courting death!
"These businessmen have done evil, which makes me very sad. Now is the time when we are united as one. I must severely punish them for this kind of behavior!"
Li Shimin showed his anger.
Then he ordered: "Check! Get to the bottom of it and let those who drive up prices be punished! Those who are particularly serious will be cut off directly!"
He said cruelly, these aristocratic families are really undesirable.
Why not learn from Shengtang Group?
Together with the Cui family, they made a large number of masks.
It was provided free of charge to the people of the entire Tang Dynasty.
But on the other side are these greedy businessmen, who are just looking for profit and actually do some things like this.
Li Shimin's order was issued directly, and some people were punished quickly.
