Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

After several days of treatment, Li Ji was no longer so weak. Wearing a mask on his face, he directed the state's young soldiers to rebuild Qizhou, mainly to bury the bodies of the people and rebels.

"Confirm the name of the deceased and mark it in the yellow book. Make sure that the person who is buried has his name!"

"General! Outside the city! Outside the city!"

Li Ji's heartbeat skipped a beat when he heard the news outside the city. Could there be rebels taking advantage of the chaos to attack Qizhou City?

"There are many caravans outside the city, so many people!"

Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the deputy general around him to arrange the scene. Li Ji himself went to find Yuchi Baoqi and went to the city gate to see what was going on.

Yuchi Baoqi was concerned about Li Ji's physical condition and did not use a very fast speed. The two of them rushed to the city gate.

"Master!"

Yuchi Baoqi was stunned, how could he be the manager of Baoli Trading Company?

Seeing the confusion in Yuchi Baoqi's eyes, the steward quickly explained: "After the young master set out, Baoli Commercial Bank branches in various places received the telegram message. We, the stewards of the commercial banks near Qizhou, all brought supplies and set off. The supplies were huge, so we came here It’s a little late.”

Only then did Yuchi Baoqi understand the whole story, and asked the stewards to stay and report the amount of supplies to him, and also to understand the situation in the city.

"When Baoli Trading Company opened near Qizhou, the King of Qi strictly prohibited the people from Baoli Trading Company from entering the city, so we opened trading firms in places beyond the control of the King of Qi, forming a siege around Qizhou."

Yuchi Baoqi didn't expect such a thing to happen: "Why don't you send a message to Chang'an?"

The stewards grimaced: "There's no way to explain it. If King Qi doesn't let us go, we'll go back to the headquarters. That would be too embarrassing."

"We thought about it and surrounded the area around Qizhou, and then the salesmen would sell it in pieces, or let the buyers buy it themselves and then transport it to Qizhou."

Yuchi Baoqi nodded: "It seems that the King of Qi has been hinting at rebellion for a long time. Now he has been beaten to death by this young master anyway. After you help and fund the reconstruction of Qizhou this time, you will nominate someone to take charge of Qizhou." State."

Li Ji was shocked when he learned that these people and materials were sent spontaneously by the stewards of Baoli Trading Company.

"How about you, Baoli Trading Company, deserve to make money? It's too fast and efficient!"

Yuchi Baoqi pointed to the hesitant caravans outside the city gate: "Look, we are not the only ones at Baoli Trading Company. As long as our hearts are warm, the hearts of the people will only be hotter than ours!"

Yuchi Baoqi found someone to register the merchants who came to help one by one, and explained that the court would provide compensation and rewards later.

They also had people distribute masks, disinfectant and other anti-epidemic materials to these people.

Unexpectedly, these people immediately became angry when they heard this: "What are you talking about! We are here to help out of our conscience and morality. Doesn't this make it appear that we have ulterior motives?"

"That's right! We don't want rewards or compensation! What we do is to do good deeds and accumulate merit, not for compensation!"

Li Ji's personal soldier slapped the table used as a secretary: "How dare you! How can you talk to the British Duke like this? You are so brave!"

When they heard that the person in front of them was the British Duke Wei Chi Baoqi, the merchants immediately fell to their knees.

Yuchi Baoqi happily pulled the person up: "Kneel down or kneel down. You are a good family. It is a good thing to come here to help. Why should you kneel down?"

"It's just that you don't want to receive the compensation and rewards because of your integrity. But if someone hears that there is a disaster in a certain place in the future, he wants to get compensation and rewards, but because of your integrity, he gives up the rescue. The people who lose are not the people affected by the disaster. ?"

Yuchi Baoqi picked up another kneeling merchant and said: "Think about it, the imperial court needs to provide disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and it takes time to get supplies. You have solved the urgent needs of the imperial court, so it is appropriate for the imperial court to reward you for your achievements."

"Okay, everyone, get up! Although there is a disaster in Qizhou at this moment, we still have the efforts of our court and the good deeds of all of you. Together, we can defeat gold!"

Merchants were also moved and infected by Yuchi Baoqi's words. They stood up and shouted slogans, and spontaneously lined up to register goods and business names.

After Yuchi Baoqi watched for a while, he continued to run to the city to arrange epidemic prevention matters.

Xie Qing arranged for two military doctors to take care of the rebel leaders who wanted to bite their tongues and commit suicide, while he coordinated the epidemic prevention and treatment in the city.

"What's going on? Has the death rate dropped?"

Xie Qing nodded: "Currently, the mortality rate has dropped to [-]%. Long-term malnutrition has caused the mortality rate to be unable to drop quickly. The rate of meat consumption has exceeded expectations. At present, we can ensure that patients have enough meat for every meal. It can last three days."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the deep worry between his brows and patted his shoulder: "The cans from Baoli Trading Company have arrived, and the pigs and poultry have been sent here by Luoyang and Chang'an. No matter how hard it is to hold on for half a month, We’re here, don’t worry too much.”

When Xie Qing heard Yuchi Baoqi's words, he was naturally excited, and most of the gloom on his face disappeared.

"In this way, the people of Qizhou should be saved, and I am confident that the mortality rate can be reduced to [-]%."

Yuchi Baoqi directed the stewards of Baoli Trading Company to arrange supplies and allocate a batch of supplies to distribute to the sick people.

"Give them these cans and tell them how to eat them."

Xie Qing was a little confused. The daily meals were distributed in a fixed amount and on time. Why were they distributed to the people as soon as the supplies arrived today?

Yuchi Baoqi smiled: "If a patient wants to recover quickly, he must have adequate nutrition, symptomatic drugs, and a good mood without any worries. We are all afraid of the lack of food in Qizhou City, but now we have it in our hands, and we can see and touch it." I feel much better when I do it.”

"At the beginning, I was too busy to talk to the patients. The patients were naturally frightened when they saw you treating them in ways they had never seen before. After that, when they become more relaxed every day, I hope the military doctors can chat with the patients. Their situation makes them less worried."

Xie Qing nodded: "Okay, I'll take a look at the situation in the next two days and explain it later."

There are many small earthbags outside Qizhou City. Some of them have relatives crying in front of them, and some of them don't even have names.

Li Ji commanded his soldiers to wear protective clothing given by Yuchi Baoqi, use body bags to bag the identified bodies one by one, then dig holes and bury them.

If the bodies were unclaimed, they would be gathered together and buried in a large pit.

Li Ji found Yuchi Baoqi in Prince Qi's Mansion. Yuchi Baoqi was sitting in the magnificent Prince Qi's Mansion, his whole person as gloomy as water.

"General Li, I would like to trouble you to escort the five thieves to Chang'an so that they can confess their crimes and be executed. This is the imperial edict telegraphed by His Majesty yesterday. Just take a look."

Li Ji watched Yuchi Baoqi take out the telegraphed edict from his arms, knelt down on one knee and took it from Yuchi Baoqi's hands with both hands.
