Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Li Shizhen said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, once the young master's instructions are fulfilled, the subordinates will return home!"

Liu Bai nodded and went out without saying anything else.

Liu Bai returned to his study, picked up a letter that had arrived not long ago, and remained silent for a long time.

He knew exactly what Sun Simiao was going to do.

Because their current research direction was proposed by Liu Bai.

smallpox!

In all dynasties, smallpox has been an unsolvable problem!

No matter how skilled a person is in medicine, his face will change when he hears about it.

In Datang, smallpox also had another name.

plague!

In fact, plague is a general name, including a series of infectious diseases such as malaria and influenza, which can all be called plague.

But smallpox is also very different from several other diseases.

Because of smallpox, it is almost certain to die!

Once the smallpox is solved, it will be a great merit that will be crowned forever!

And the reason why Liu Bai suggested that Sun Simiao and Li Shizhen should start to study how to solve smallpox is entirely because the place where smallpox broke out this time is in Hebei Province!

Xingzhou!Bozhou!

There is nothing special about these two places, but the key point is that Bozhou is only half a day away from Youzhou.

You know, the Liu family has several mines in Youzhou, plus the staff and caravan, there are at least a thousand people!

New drugs must be developed before the outbreak of smallpox!

Liu Bai took a deep breath and murmured, "I hope I can catch up."

Chapter 265 I'm Not Going Back Home, Hurry Up!Go to Liu's house in Jingyang County

In the midsummer of Chang'an, it is so hot that people feel panicky.

On both sides of Li Er's side, there were large basins of ice cubes on each side, and several maids fanning them could not relieve his depression.

The sixth month of the lunar calendar has reached the hottest time.

It's just that it's not as hot as this year.

"Damn the weather!"

Li Er forced himself to calm down before opening a memorial.

Criticizing the memorial with emotions will spoil the big things!

Any one of his decisions is related to the lives of thousands of people.

"The disaster situation in Huainan, Jiannan and Longyou has eased, and potatoes and corn have come in handy."

Seeing the happy announcement, Li Er felt a little better.

But when he saw the next memorial, his expression sank again!

"Huang Youde escorted the grain to the middle of Shu, but encountered a mountain torrent on the way, killing 1 peasants and losing [-] shi of grain?"

Li Eryi slapped the table and said angrily, "Call Wei Zheng here!"

Huang Youde, the regular attendant of Sanqi, was recommended by Wei Zheng.

The Huangmen eunuch just went out, and came back after a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, Master Wei is here!"

Li Er was startled, how long has it been?

Can that old boy Wei Zheng fly?

"Xuan!"

Wearing a court uniform, Wei Zheng walked into the Zichen Hall with meticulous steps, holding a wat board in his hand.

He has such an old-fashioned temperament, and he is even better than Dai Zhou at the beginning.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the court is not in the Taiji Hall, when officials meet Li Er in other halls, there is no need to be too formal, and it is no big deal to wear ordinary clothes.

But Wei Zheng can't, no matter where he is, as long as he sees Li Er, he must be dressed like this.

Li Er had always disliked Wei Zheng.

No matter what he did, the old guy put on a disgusting look of rectifying the emperor's gains and losses, desperately admonishing him.

Today, finally caught the pigtail of this old thing!

"Wei Qing's family, have you heard about Huang Youde?"

Eighty lives, 1 shi of food, all gone!

This kind of crime is not small!

At least it's enough to ransack Huang Youde's home!

Wei Zheng said expressionlessly: "The veteran has already known that Huang Youde's crime is unforgivable, and I hope His Majesty will deal with it!"

Li Er snorted softly, "But Huang Youde was recommended by Wei Qing's family, what should I do?"

Wei Zheng still had a straight face, but what he said made Li Er very angry.

"The old minister thinks that now is not the time to pursue this matter!"

Li Er raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with anger.

"What did you say?"

Wei Zheng suddenly bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, there is a plague in the Hebei Road area, and the old minister sent people to investigate. It is undeniable!"

Li Er was stunned and asked, "Why didn't I hear about it?"

"When a plague occurs in a local area, local officials will definitely be held accountable. Before the plague spreads, they will choose to conceal it and not report it!"

Li Er became serious.

Whatever he hates, he still trusts Wei Zheng very much.

plague!

Even if only one person gets it, it will spread over a large area within a few days, so don't underestimate it!

"Where is Hebei Road?"

"The area around Xingzhou and Bozhou, Hebei Province!"

Li Er frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "Chuan Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu come here!"

Soon, Fang Xuanling and others arrived.

When they heard the word 'plague', several people's faces changed suddenly!

In this thought, plague is almost indistinguishable from death.

That is a disaster more terrible than war.

People who die will die in the city!

Du Ruhui made a decisive decision and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thought that Xingzhou and Bozhou would be quickly blocked and no one would be allowed to enter or leave! In addition, a large army will be sent to station in the Hebei Road area. Anyone who dares to gather a crowd to cause trouble will be punished without mercy!"

Fang Xuanling added: "What Du Xiang said is very true. In addition, we need to gather famous doctors from all over the world to jointly study the method of rescuing the plague, and at the same time dispatch large quantities of grain and grass to Hebei Road!"

As the so-called Fang Mou put an end to the decision, the two of them explained the solution clearly in a few words.

Li Er felt a little comforted in his heart.

"Just follow what Fang Qing and Du Qing said, and the three provinces and six ministries will coordinate, and the other"

A murderous intent flashed in Li Er's eyes.

"If local officials really conceal and fail to report, they will be executed!"

Everyone stood up one after another, saying: "Old minister obeys the order!"

When he was about to leave, Li Er said again: "Wei Qing's family stay!"

Fang Xuanling and others took a look at Wei Zheng and left one after another.

"I don't know what else His Majesty needs to do?"

Li Er had lost his temper with Wei Zheng, he took a deep breath and said, "Wei Qing's family, if I remember correctly, Xingzhou is your hometown, right?"

Wei Zheng still had no expression on his face, and said dully: "It's the old man of the minister!"

"Then your family"

"Your Majesty, as an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, although his wife and children are still in Xingzhou, they must not be different from the people!"

Li Er's original intention was to secretly pick up Wei Zheng's wife and children first.

Everyone knows that once Xingzhou is blocked, the people inside

But Wei Zheng didn't appreciate it, and Li Er couldn't help it.

He sighed and waved Wei Zheng away.

Just as Wei Zheng came out of Zichen Hall, he felt a blur in front of his eyes and almost fell down.

Wynn, who was standing at the door, immediately stepped forward to support him.

"Thank you sir"

Wei Zheng took a few breaths and thanked Wynn.

Wynn said: "Since Mr. Wei is unwell, why don't you go to the Imperial Medical Office?"

Wei Zheng shook his head, didn't say much, and walked out of the palace step by step.

All the officials in Chang'an, big and small, had already taken over their wives and children, but Wei Zheng, worried that his wife and children would affect his handling of government affairs, left them all in his hometown.

It is one thing to be loyal to one's duty, but only he himself knows the inner bitterness

Why doesn't he want to take his wife and children back?

But the principles in his heart did not allow him to do so.

As I walk, my eye circles are red

Once the plague spreads, no matter how healthy the wives and children are, they will surely die.

That's the plague!

The distance from Zichen Palace to the gate of the palace is not too far away.

Wei Zheng walked for more than half an hour.

"Ma'am, it's me, Wei Zheng, I'm sorry for Shuyu"

His heart hurt like a needle.

He walked all the way to the carriage outside the palace gate, but his mood was still difficult to calm down.

The groom asked cautiously, "Master, shall we go back home?"

Wei Zheng clenched his fists, his voice was almost squeezed out between his teeth.

"Go home!"

Seeing that his master was in a bad mood, the groom thought that something was wrong with the court.

I just want to tell some anecdotes to make my master happy.

"Master, I heard that the academy is recruiting students aggressively again. This time the recruitment is different. They want to teach people to be doctors. What do you say?"

Originally, Wei Zheng didn't care, and was even annoyed that the groom talked too much.

But when they heard that the academy was recruiting students, they were still recruiting doctors!

He got a 'hum' in his mind!

For a moment, he seemed to have grasped at straws.
