Plague, the hotter the weather, the more widely it spreads.
The group of people was extremely frightened. In Zhu Yixi's view, the pedestrians on the road were like zombies carrying infectious diseases, which was extremely terrifying.
When we arrived in Xi'an City, coffins were being delivered in a steady stream in front of Yongning Gate. Each coffin was plain and filled with mourning, and the strong smell of paper money rushed into the nostrils.
"Not good!" Zhu Yixi was shocked and turned around and said: "The plague has spread to Xi'an City."
When the carriage entered the city, it was also interrogated and had to take out the chief medical officer's token before it could pass.
Sure enough, after arriving in the city, the city of Xi'an became more and more deserted. There were only a few people in the lively grain shops with long queues.
On both sides of the street, almost every family wears sackcloth and mourning. It can be described as a tragic event in the world.
Zhu Yixi hurriedly ordered: "Take the prince to my house for training."
"Your Majesty, my courtyard is spacious and there are plenty of rooms. You can stay here with peace of mind and everything will be fine."
Immediately, Zhu Yixi hurriedly went to the Governor's Mansion, covering her mouth and nose.
It doesn't matter if others die, but Sun Chuanting can't let anything happen to him. Let's start by borrowing a chicken to hatch eggs!
"Is Dr. Zhu's family so generous?" Wang Xi asked curiously.
"Our home is in the former Jinyiwei Qianhu Residence. It can accommodate hundreds of people, so it is naturally spacious!" Thirteen said proudly.
"That's true!" Wang Xi shivered all over. Hearing the name of Jinyiwei made people shiver.
…
When Zhu Yixi arrived at the Governor's Mansion, she saw that the mansion was well prepared. Even with her previous connections, she still had to wait.
After a while, he waited for Governor Sun's order.
"Zhu Yixi has met Du Xian!"
He quickly bent down and bowed with his hands.
"Jingming, you're back!"
Sun Chuanting sat on the chair with a solemn expression. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. His already gray hair was becoming more and more withered at this time.
"You have also seen the situation in Xi'an City. There are hundreds of mourners every day. If this continues for a few more months, there will be no one left in Xi'an City."
"Are you okay in the army?" Zhu Yixi asked hurriedly.
"It's not bad in the army, the training has been intensive recently!"
Speaking of this, Sun Chuanting showed a smile: "Thanks to the plague prevention measures you came up with, such as lime, hot water, etc., the effect is good, and there are not many infections among the Qin army."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, stood up and said, "I wonder if these measures of yours are effective now?"
"The plague has spread, these measures should have some effect."
Zhu Yixi thought about it, was silent for a while, and then said: "The most important thing at the moment is isolation, to isolate the plague from the remaining living people."
"How to isolate?" Sun Chuanting asked.
"Burn the bodies, sweep away the filth, spread lime, and drink plenty of hot water."
Zhu Yixi confided word for word.
According to the wisdom of later generations, plague is basically transmitted through saliva, water, and air.
Therefore, as long as the patients and corpses are humanely destroyed, and then the source of infection is blocked, it will be almost done.
"Okay!" Sun Chuanting stood up and said happily: "From today on, I order you to be the general inspector of plague prevention, and let Chang'an and Xianning counties cooperate with you."
Zhu Yixi frowned. This was a thankless task, but as a subordinate, solving problems for superiors was the only way to get promoted.
Therefore, Zhu Yixi agreed immediately, which made Sun Chuanting very happy, but he also knew that it was a bit difficult, so he couldn't help but ask: "Do you have any difficulties or conditions? If you tell me, I will help you solve it."
This is a qualified superior officer.
Zhu Yixi was somewhat satisfied, and then he said: "The government officials alone are not enough. I have to organize two thousand people and transfer two thousand people from the army to cover the entire city of Xi'an."
"In addition, the plague is invisible and terrifying. Governor Xian must allocate ten thousand taels of silver as a reward."
"Okay!" Sun Chuanting nodded, and said quite generously at this time: "If you don't have enough money, you can come to me again to ask for it, but Xi'an City must not become a ghost land, let alone endanger the army."
The people of Xi'an are the cornerstone of producing food and maintaining the army. Once they collapse, the Qin army will naturally be difficult to maintain.
Just like Beijing in history, when Chongzhen hanged himself, half of the capital's population was wiped out due to the plague. There were not enough soldiers to defend the city, and there were no troops in the capital camp.
After receiving the mission, Zhu Yixi said goodbye.
For these two thousand people, he felt that if they were managed well, they might become his real team members.
So how to choose and what kind of person to choose, of course, you have to know well.
"Meow--" Suddenly, a cat meowed in his ears. He turned around and saw a chubby white cat at his feet, hiding under the eaves. It was extremely cute.
"Yunnu——" At this time, a fair-skinned girl ran over. She was wearing a green and white dress, her skin was extraordinarily pink and fair, her facial features were exquisite, and she looked quite virtuous.
Behind her, two maids came running panting. When they saw the white cat at their feet, they instantly became happy.
"Miss, you're polite!" Zhu Yixi held up her hands, picked up the cat, and handed it to the timid girl: "This raccoon slave seems to be quite good at running away."
"Yes!" Holding the white cat, the girl lowered her head shyly, then turned back, hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhu Lang."
"It should be!" Zhu Yixi cupped her hands, smiled, and left gracefully.
Considering his current status, he has absolutely no chance of getting along with such a noble lady. There are still some taboos between men and women.
"Sister, Yunnu ran away again?"
The baby-fat damselfly rubbed the white cat's head and said with some dissatisfaction: "If you come again, I will throw you away."
"Forget it!" Xue Niang smiled, with a smile in her eyes: "It's also crazy about catching butterflies, what does it know."
"Why are you so happy?" Damselfly asked strangely: "In the past, if Yunnu ran away, you would have cried so hard. Why are you still a little happy today?"
"nothing!"
Xue Niang hugged Yun Nu and turned around: "Go back, it is probably hungry and needs to be fed."
"snort!"
The damselfly was not fooled. She turned her head, looked at her sister's two maids, her eyes were shining, and asked directly: "Who did my sister see today?"
…
When they returned home, Wang Xi's family had already settled down and settled in the west wing. The huge yard could be easily tidied up.
When he came back, even though he was as afraid of the Jin Yiwei as a tiger, Wang Yu still said: "Your Majesty abolished the post station, and the official documents were difficult to reach. Abolition of the Jin Yiwei was like stabbing oneself in the eyes. Except for the capital, the rest of the eyes were blackened."
"This is the inversion of the universe. The place is important but the center is light."
"You are right!" Zhu Yixi smiled and couldn't help but sigh: "But it hasn't been a while. From the Wanli period to the present, for decades, Liaodong has been controlled by dozens of generals, and tens of millions of taels of silver have been gained.
How many people were killed? How many families were destroyed?"
