Don't be a prince

Seeing the back of Geng Buqu leaving, Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Yun with a questioning expression.

Zhang Yun sighed and said: "In the No. [-] wooden house, there are all children, and there is a nine-year-old girl among them. Her family members died because of the ulcer, and she became an orphan. Therefore, Mr. Geng recognized her as his granddaughter." , After helping her every day, I go back to accompany her. However, in the past two days, the child's condition is not very good, it is very likely... "

Nine-year-old child, although it is cruel to say so, but Li Chengqian feels that among the [-]% who failed to protect the correct rescue, [-]% are the elderly and the underage children.

Depressed....

Now in the hospital, Li Chengqian knew that even if he found other ways to divert his attention, it would not work.The bloody reality happened next to him, not to mention taking off his clothes while playing chess, even if there is a fully charged mobile phone connected to the Internet, he can't forget it.

The second person to finish the meal was Sun Simiao. After the meal, he did not leave, but clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

"Everyone, the old Taoist is here to say a few things. First, the old Taoist found that some people started to be negligent when they saw the patient's serious condition. They should have changed the medicine twice a day, but changed it once a day or even did not change it. Although our medicines are consumed quickly, this kind of thing is still wrong. Before the patients die completely, we must give them enough confidence. Miracles do not necessarily happen.

Second, our meat and vegetables are somewhat in short supply, and there may be two or three days before the next supply arrives.During this period, the supplies of the patients cannot be short. When we are free, let's dig wild vegetables nearby to eat.

Third, we will not stop those who have recovered from their illness from leaving, and we will try our best to teach them how to take care of patients if they stay.After a while, they will return to the state capitals of the two states instead of us to treat the patients there.As for those who stayed but didn't want to learn, let them form a transport team to go to the border of Fuzhou to deliver supplies here.Did you hear everything clearly? "

Naturally, everyone agreed repeatedly, especially the one who was hit by the first point, they were even more ashamed.

After saying this, Sun Simiao walked over to Li Chengqian and said, "I have to write a letter to Chang'an. We are a little nervous about the medicine here. If we also send people to Yizhou in Nanzhou, it will definitely not be enough."

Although Sun Simiao was also afraid of spreading the sore, but the matter was important, he could only gamble.

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Since you have said so, I will write a letter to Chang'an. But don't worry, I will write this letter to the governor of Fuzhou and order him to find someone to copy it and send it out. At the same time, the contact letter Those who are still alive must be isolated and observed, so that there is almost a [-]% chance that the spread of the sore can be prevented."

Sending a letter for help is one thing, and on the other hand, Li Chengqian is also planning to ask for a batch of gasoline.Whether it is the temporary hospital here or the two state capitals, as the area where patients live together, it is necessary to safely detoxify and isolate for five years.

With this treatment, if the sore would recur in this area, he could only be convinced.

After hearing Li Chengqian's idea, Sun Simiao also thought it should be, and decided to sign his name on the letter.

The letter was sent out quickly. Although he was the crown prince, after writing the letter, Li Chengqian also joined the team of doctors.When you were on the battlefield, what kind of scenes did you not see?Although it is tragic right now, it is still acceptable.

As for Geng Buqu, Li Chengqian felt that it would be better not to pay too much attention to it.At this time, what he needs most is a miracle.Moreover, he also prayed that the child could create a miracle.

In this way, another three days passed.

On the fourth day, when Li Chengqian checked the scars of a room full of patients and walked out of the tent, he happened to see thick smoke rising from the bottom of the terraced fields.

Because of the air outlet, the thick smoke will not float to the camp.There is no need to worry about the thick smoke, but what is worrying is that the figure sitting by the terraced fields at this time looks like an unruly person no matter how you look at it.

Is it....

Feeling sore, Li Chengqian had no choice but to walk over quickly.

When I got closer, I realized that Geng Buqu was drinking. Although the taste was not strong, it was still wrong. It seemed that it was alcohol mixed with water.

Sensing the sound of footsteps behind him, he knew it was the prince without turning his head.

Geng Buqu sighed, seemed to be speaking, and seemed to be talking to himself: "This child is very similar to the old slave. He lost his family when he was nine years old. What the old slave encountered was the plague. I don't know what happened, after being infected with the plague, he recovered just like that. However, the old slave's family members died one by one.

Every time a family member leaves, the old slave will take a shovel, dig a hole, and bury the person in it.How fast can a nine-year-old dig a hole?When he finally buried his mother, the old slave still vomited and buried her, which is really unfilial.The same is true for this little girl. When listening to her talk about burying her parents, the old slave seemed to see himself when he was a child.

Although the old slave is still an eunuch now, because he works under His Highness, he still has quite a status.After thinking about it, the old slave recognized this girl as his granddaughter, watched her grow up, and found a wealthy family for her to marry.But who would have thought that the little girl who smiled beautifully when she first contracted the disease would not be able to carry it through~"

Listening to Geng Buqu's narration, Li Chengqian only felt that his throat was sore and his eyes were sore.

Everyone has unbearable past events, and I am not the same. In the last life, when I heard other children bragging about what they did on Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, I could only yell, “Report, teacher, I’m going to the toilet.” "?

Another footstep sounded, and Li Chengqian turned his head, only to see Sun Simiao walking over with a heavy expression.

Seeing that Geng Buqu was drinking, it was alcohol mixed with water, he didn't stop him, but sat on Geng Buqu's right side, reached out and grabbed his wrist.

After a while, Sun Simiao stood up again, turned and left.

Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Old Sun in a daze, only to see him shaking his head and sighing.

Looking at Geng Buqu again, Li Chengqian didn't know what to say.

There are many reasons for the old people to collapse. It may be that a white-haired person gives a black-haired person, it may be a small fall, or it may even be a sudden loss of fun.

No matter what the reason is, even Sun Simiao shook his head and sighed, Mr. Geng should leave this sad world too.

Standing up, turning around and leaving, Li Chengqian felt that there was no need to say parting words. For the current Geng Lao, perhaps the newly recognized granddaughter was the most important.

After only two steps, an unrepentant voice came from behind: "Your Highness, failing to escort you to the throne is the greatest disloyalty of this old slave. Although this old slave has trained some masters for His Highness, he has truly inherited the old There is only one person who has the mantle of slavery and is qualified to be re-appointed by you as the leader of the secret guard—Fei Ying. After you return to Chang'an, he will naturally find a chance to meet you."

Li Chengqian agreed, then turned and left.

In the camp, Zhang Yun, who heard the news, was rushing over.

Li Chengqian stood still, waiting for Zhang Yun to go back together.

Zhang Yun was straightforward, just ran up to Elder Geng, kowtowed, and left.

The two masters and servants met, and neither of them said much.

Sometimes, too many words are actually meaningless.

Quiet farewell, also, very good.

4 Chapter Eighty There Are Always Some People

No one bothered Geng Buqu, and no one paid too much attention to him who was about to leave.

Sun Simiao's diagnosis would not be unexpected. Geng Buqu left the little girl whose name was not known seven days after her death.When he was discovered, he was holding the little girl's urn and sitting by the terraced field at the bottom, as if waiting to be cremated.

After the cremation firewood was piled up, Li Chengqian stepped forward to light the flame himself.

Seeing Geng Buqu disappear into the smoke and flames, looking back at Zhang Yun who was streaming down his face, Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Follow Gu for another five years, after five years, Gu will allow you to leave the palace, Find you an easy job at the shop or auction house."

Zhang Yun smiled while crying: "His Royal Highness has a heart, but, for slaves and others, following His Highness is not bad. Failure to escort His Highness to the throne is the greatest regret of Elder Geng. As his A former student, this servant is willing to inherit his wish. If I can be buried in His Highness's mausoleum, it will be the greatest honor of this servant!"

Li Chengqian did not persuade Zhang Yun too much.Everyone has their own plans, and many times, just pointing to the end is enough.When the other party listened to your persuasion with a smile, who knows if they scolded you behind your back?

The flames devoured the traces of Geng Buqu's existence, leaving only some ashes and unbroken bones.

The temperature of the firewood pile is not enough to completely burn the bones into powder.Some larger bones even need to be crushed before they can be placed in the urn.It is no wonder that people in this era are so resistant to cremation. It is really not very comfortable to be crushed after death.

The second floor of the terraces is where the ashes are stored.In the wooden house, each urn is equipped with a wooden tablet.

Cremation of the dead body only prevents the spread of the virus.In this environment where you will step on the virus if you take two steps casually, even the ashes must be stored for five years before they can be taken away.

After the outbreak of Lupus, the most miserable people are probably the first and second batches of infected people.Because they couldn't wait for the support from the imperial court, even if they survived, they usually reached a dangerous period. As a result, they usually ended up leaving this world.

However, the follow-up infected people are much better, because they have received the correct treatment, coupled with their own persistence, the mortality rate has been greatly reduced.Basically, out of every ten people, there are seven or eight people who can carry it completely.Among them, there will even be three or four people, blessed by God, whose condition is not very serious, and will not cause too much damage to the face.

The plan proposed by Li Chengqian in the early days has now reached the level where it can be implemented.Many young and strong men who recovered from their illnesses took the initiative to deliver supplies to the border of Fuzhou instead of their own leaders and the transportation team of the Xuanjia Army. Some smart ones followed Sun Simiao and other doctors to learn how to treat patients correctly. .Those who have learned it will form small groups one by one, bring enough medicines, and go south to Nanzhou or Yizhou.

After ensuring the efficiency of transportation, the progress of disaster relief has really started to soar.

At the same time that the disaster relief was on the right track in Nanzhou Yizhou, Chang'an also received the first letter from the prince.For the sake of safety, it is unknown which hand copied this letter.

The results achieved on the frontline of the disaster response have amazed everyone, especially the fact that vaccinia vaccination has been verified to prevent pimples, which is even more exciting.

I didn't dare before, after all, no one knows whether vaccination with vaccinia will cause people to have a fever and burn out when they get sick.

However, now that the effect of cowpox has been verified, compared with its results, that little risk is nothing.

Although Lupus broke out in Nanzhou and Yizhou, who knows if it will come to Chang'an one day?Especially now that Chang'an is the capital of the country, people from all over the country will pass by or even stay there, and the risk is even greater.

Everyone has a big family and a big career. They haven't enjoyed enough in this life. Who wants to die?

Therefore, after the emperor announced the results, Fang Xuanling, as the spokesperson selected by the nobles, left the meeting and asked the emperor whether to vaccinate the court officials first.

After saying this, Fang Xuanling only felt that his face was red like fire.At the time of the vaccination, everyone was worried and unwilling to be vaccinated. Some people even came up with Confucian arguments such as "the parents who suffer from the body, hair and skin, dare not damage them".However, now that it has been proved to be true and effective, it is actually a matter of getting vaccinated.

Although Li Shimin was not ashamed of these people's actions, he still agreed: "Of course, but after vaccination with vaccinia, the poison to the body is not small. According to the results of Daoist Sun's experiment, it will take one month to completely cure the disease. Finish.

In this way, the vaccinated people are naturally not suitable for continuing to work.Therefore, vaccination is possible, but must be vaccinated in rotation.The chief officials of the six departments in the three provinces temporarily handed over the authority to their subordinates or at the same level. After one person is vaccinated, the second person or subordinates will be vaccinated again.How to sort them is up to you to discuss.

As early as when Daoist Sun was experimenting, Donggong and Daomen had found a large number of cows in the grassland, and now there is still enough cowpox.The medical school opened voluntary vaccination, and many businessmen went to vaccinate.You are also considered the pillars of the country, Zhen, but I have left a lot for you.snort! "

After speaking, Li Shimin announced his withdrawal from the court.

If some courtiers and dignitaries just refuse to be vaccinated and choose to wait and see, he doesn't mind.People have doubts, but what makes him angry is that, in addition to the argument of "body and skin...", there are still people who slander Sun Simiao for grandstanding, and there are even rumors that "the court is acting. , How many people survived in Nanzhou Yizhou, isn’t it still the court’s final say? Who else dares to go and verify?”

At first, he thought it was Taoism's deadly enemy, Buddhism, who was panicking and deliberately blackmailed Sun Simiao, but after investigation, he found that Buddhism, on the contrary, was uncharacteristically supportive and did not do such a thing.

Now Baiqisi has checked in many ways, and can only find out that this statement seems to have spread from the noble circle, but it is still impossible to find out who it is.

Unpredictable!

Out of habitual thinking, Li Shimin immediately transferred the suspicion to the Wang family.

Some people are like this. When they are doing nothing, they will not feel motivated when they see others have achieved results. They will only be dazzled by jealousy and do things like slander and dirty water.

I don't know how to respect the achievements of others, and I don't reflect on my own failures. Facing a perfect jade wall, I just want to fabricate flaws that don't exist.Such a person...

If it were Li Chengqian of later generations, he would definitely go to 12377! !I reported it, because simply reporting on social platforms is at best a ban.

Li Chengqian, who was already in Nanzhou, naturally didn't know what happened in Chang'an.

When the two state capitals of Nanzhou and Yizhou had stable rescue locations, and the transportation route from Fuzhou to the two states reached the level of once every three days, the temporary hospital in the center of the three states was closed and changed to With the capitals of the two states as the center, it radiates the whole territory.

Sun Simiao went to Yizhou, while Li Chengqian was in charge of Nanzhou.

Because of Datang's political policy of emphasizing the north and despising the south, Nanzhou has not developed much.Therefore, the first impression of Nanzhou state capital is that it is poor!

The current governor of Nanzhou is still Xiao Jue. The new governor sent by the court, after finding out that Xiao Jue had suffered from sores and was fine, he resolutely gave up the act of seizing power. .

The crown prince arrived in Nanzhou, but no one came out to greet him. After entering the state capital, Li Chengqian met Xiao Jue in the isolated area of ​​Beicheng.

When I was around 20 years old, because I had acne, there were still some clear acne marks on my cheeks and chin.Although "seizing power" became the governor, he did not wear official uniforms.

Wandering outside the wards, wherever he went, he would receive warm greetings from the people of Nanzhou.

Of course, kindness is also a guess, because Li Chengqian couldn't understand what the people in Nanzhou said at all.

When we started receiving patients, we even needed to be equipped with "translators" in order to communicate with patients normally.

The lack of communication and the inconvenience of transportation have led to the phenomenon of "different sounds in three miles, different customs in ten miles".For a long time, every time he went to a place, he would meet someone who could speak the official dialect of Chang'an, which caused Li Chengqian to be deceived. He only discovered this when he was living in Lingnan.

As Xiao Jue was walking, he found a person looking at him with a smile in his eyes. After confirming again and again, he quickly bowed and said: "Xiao Jue, a graduate of the fifth batch of the academy, pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

It was Li Chengqian's turn to be surprised. Today he was not wearing that layer of skin, but Xiao Jue still recognized him, which meant that he was indeed a college graduate.

"Let's get down, don't be too polite, you said you are the fifth batch of graduates? Then the governor of Nanzhou is your father. In Tang Dynasty, it seems that father and son are forbidden to be officials in the same place!"

Xiao was not ashamed to say: "Reporting to His Royal Highness, the students wasted their time at the beginning, and their graduation thesis only got an upper middle class. After participating in the assessment by the Ministry of Officials, the eldest grandson Shangshu considered the students' thoughts and divided the students into one county in Nanzhou. The county magistrate is here. Because it’s not far from home, I can reunite with my father when I’m on duty.”

Hearing what Xiao Jue said, Li Chengqian was relieved. If it was just the county magistrate, it would not be considered a breach of the rules.

Taking a step closer and patting Xiao Jue on the shoulder, Li Chengqian said: "Although the thesis system was created by Gu, Gu never thought that one essay could really determine what a person has learned and what he will achieve in the future. Gu followed You have traveled a long way. The north-south division of Nanzhou's state capital and the method of zoning and isolation are really good. Besides, seeing that a large proportion of some of the initial patients here have recovered, you know that you have tried your best. Your father His spirit in heaven will surely be pleased."

When mentioning his father, Xiao Jue's eyes turned red, and he choked with sobs and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the student will definitely inherit my father's behest. The sores will continue and he will never go home. Before his father died, he specially told the students to cremate him. If the sores don't stop, even the ashes will never enter the ancestral grave!"

Having said this, Xiao Jue was already sobbing.

Li Chengqian sighed, but could only pat Xiao Jue on the shoulder.Xiao Chen couldn't be blamed for the outbreak of the sore. Judging from what he learned, he had already worked very hard.

"Sorry, let me tell you about the situation in Nanzhou. Since you have studied in the academy, you should know the importance of statistics."

Xiao Jue wiped away his tears, invited Li Chengqian to sit down on the steps in front of a house, and said: "Although the students have this idea, but there are not enough people to count. So now, there is only a rough estimate of the spread of the sores." learn.

Nanzhou has three counties and 64 villages.Today, there are 52 villages affected by Lupu, and only [-] villages are still intact.As for the specific number of people, there is not enough manpower, and there is really no way for students to count.Even the yamen servants dispatched by the state government now have not died of illness after suffering from sores.Among them, many young adults who recovered from illness were even recruited to help temporarily. "

In the current pandemic, manpower is the biggest problem.Less than [-] people have been vaccinated against vaccinia, and many of the people who have recovered from the disease are still inseparable in order to build transportation lines. According to statistics, it seems that it is really not something that can be done casually.Without new statistics, it is not known whether Lupus has been contained.

Patting Xiao Jue's thigh, Li Chengqian stood up and said, "The most difficult period is over now. Gu's request for help has already been sent to Chang'an. Soon, new supplies will be delivered. Before autumn, at least do There will be no more new patients, and the next step is to completely eradicate Lupus. Since this disease is terrifying, and since there is no effective cure, let it disappear in Datang!"

After hearing the prince's words, Xiao Jue immediately cheered up.Completely eradicate Lupus?Others said that he would still think it was nonsense, but the crown prince said so. As the person closest to Daoist Sun, if the crown prince said so, it is very likely to be realized!

Standing up, Xiao Jue said: "His Royal Highness, since you have come to Nanzhou, please give me instructions, what should I do?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "The first thing to do is to transfer the uninfected people out. It is not appropriate to divide the southern city and the northern city. According to the observation during this period, the sore can spread through the air. In the same city, It's still not safe. However, before the transfer, it must be disinfected. Nanzhou City, in Gu's plan, needs to be destroyed."

Xiao Jue said in surprise: "Your Highness means..."

"Burn! If you were still worried after seeing the past, when I found out that Nanzhou was not prosperous, I made a decision. The capital of Nanzhou will focus on treating patients, and when the disaster passes, it will melt into the city. That's it. As a result, the possibility of the Lupus virus recovering again will be much, much lower!"

"Big fire melting the city?"

Although he understood the meaning of these four words, Xiao Jue still felt that he couldn't accept it for a while.

Really, to do such a must!

Chapter 481 The Fire Melts the City

Li Chengqian did not explain the reason for doing so. As a virus that has been eradicated, ordinary people's understanding of smallpox virus is really limited.No one knows how to deal with this bastard thing.The only thing we know is that it can survive for more than a year and a half under natural conditions.
