Xiao Tailiang nodded, and said seriously: "I also think the same way, there will be refugees every year, we just need to settle down."

Lian Guanzi continued: "Exactly, the treasury is now empty and money is tight. Since His Majesty took the throne, he has been diligent in governing and simple in style. It is really a great fortune for the country that he has not chosen concubines arbitrarily. However, it was affected by the previous war. The current situation is not His Majesty's fault. As a minister, I should share His Majesty's worries, but there is no more appropriate solution for the refugees. There are more people this time, and it is no big deal for Your Majesty to settle down. Your Majesty does not need to worry about it."

After Shen Qingjue heard this, she finally regained her composure and understood what was happening now. She frowned, a little inappropriate, but above the main hall, the matter was a foregone conclusion, even if it was her, it was hard for her to say anything to refute.

"Okay, I think Aiqing's son is young and promising, so let him handle this matter."

Xiao Tailiang seemed to be in a good mood after solving the problem.

"My minister thanked His Majesty Long En on behalf of the dog."

"Nothing, let's retreat."

Shen Qingjue was thoughtful. The last time Lu Wantong's parents got typhoid fever, they were self-satisfied. On the way to Taijing from Wuzhou, Lu Wantong's parents died of illness in just a few days, which is very similar to the illness of the refugees this time. She felt that there was something strange in it, so she didn't want to be sloppy. The strong sense of crisis made her decide to go to the place where the refugees gathered outside the city to take a look.

The city of Taijing is prosperous, but the outside of the city is not as good as it should be. Xiao Tailiang was originally enthroned as emperor in troubled times, and it is certain that the treasury will not be full.

The imperial court was fairly clean and honest, but there were many dandies in Beijing, plus the long-term use of foreign troops, the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north was eyeing it, the countries in the Western Regions were constantly harassing it, and there were garrisons on the frontiers. One hundred thousand troops, where does the money come from?Naturally, it is in the hands of the people.

The carriage drove for about an hour, and came from the palace to the place where Shen Qingjue specially ordered the refugees to be the most serious. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw blue smoke rising from everywhere, and the leaders of the nearby military camps were lighting fires and cooking. The refugees went forward in a hurry.

However, the three meals a day for nearly a thousand people is not a small amount, and the nearby military camps cannot provide so much food at once. Moreover, the refugees have nowhere to settle down and cannot leave immediately. It is not a problem to gather for ten days and a half months. At that time, the food distributed to everyone was very little.

There are refugees who are not fully clothed, without decent clothes and hats. Some refugees are lying on the ground dying, breathing out with their mouths open, and some even lie down beside the road with their eyes closed. People don't know whether they fainted or directly I died.

The chaos of the people was more serious than what she had imagined.

Before Shen Qingjue's arrival, there were already officers and soldiers distributing food here, and the refugees looted with bowls. Since the number of people was larger than the government expected, people didn't have enough food for a while. Even though there were officers and soldiers, complaints were still unavoidable.

In addition, Taijing City did not have enough houses and residential areas for these people to live in for a while, and because they came in a hurry, a large part of them still rested on the old city wall on the outskirts of the city.

As soon as Shen Qingjue arrived, he murmured inwardly that it was not good, the refugees here were yellow and thin, it was not like the number reported in the memorials in the early court was less than a thousand, and even more people came continuously.

She opened the curtain to look.

Many people saw that her black carriage was graceful and luxurious, and a big man with a quick temper rushed up, and the people around couldn't stop him, "Look at what kind of life we ​​live, but there are still people traveling in rich clothes and good food, The horses that pull the carriages are healthier than us, so we don’t care about us pariahs who are about to freeze to death—”

Before the man finished speaking, officers and soldiers immediately went up behind the carriage and pushed him to the ground, punching and kicking him like raindrops.

"Presumptuous" Shen Qingjue immediately opened the curtain and got out of the carriage to stop his subordinates from beating people at the slightest disagreement, but even so, the weaker refugees who had been hungry for a long time couldn't stand the punching and kicking for a while, and had already been beaten. Unable to get up from the ground, this man's face was livid, he was still struggling to get up, he seemed unwilling to give in, and looked fiercely at Shen Qingjue who got off the carriage.

Shen Qingjue raised his hand, and the officers and soldiers hurriedly retreated behind to make way for her.

"I'm sorry, I let my subordinate beat you, I really can't discipline you well."

Shen Qingjue was not angry, but bowed his head at that man, and said politely.

The man slowly raised his head, looking at Shen Qingjue in disbelief.

Seeing Shen Qingjue's displacement and attire, he had already guessed Shen Qingjue's noble status. Even if he didn't know what the white python robe looked like, he could vaguely see the python pattern still visible under the cover of the cloak. The officials in the country are completely different, the man thought so, and sat up boldly.

When a scholar met Bing, he couldn't explain why. As for what he said just now, even if this outspoken man was beaten to death on the spot, he would have deserved to die. No one would say that a powerful official like Shen Qingjue killed the refugee who collided with her. Half a word.

The man was terrified.

"I didn't expect this scene. It's just that I heard about the death of people in Manwuzhou years ago. I didn't notice it. It was my negligence that these things happened. I should be the one to pay for you. no."

The man took a closer look. Although this person was wearing men's clothes, his facial features were clear and beautiful, and there was a unique taste of a woman in his heroic spirit. He had a flash of inspiration, as if he had guessed the identity of the person in front of him.

"General... please save us. Two of the four members of my family died of hunger and cold on the way to Beijing. Business in Manwuzhou is not easy. Many people like me want to go back to Taijing to make a living. Unexpectedly, I contracted a cold illness on the way, so I left within two days."

When the man said this, he was already a little choked up.

"It's my incompetence that killed her mother and daughter. It's freezing cold, and I don't have the money to let their mother and daughter stay in an inn..."

Shen Qingjue frowned, subconsciously touched the edge of the cloak on her chest with her right hand, and thought as she stroked it.

According to the man, the refugees did not come about because of hunger and cold, but because of typhoid fever, but she knew that typhoid fever would not kill so quickly. The death is also said to have passed, but it is obvious that a large number of people died because of this, so it is obviously different from ordinary typhoid fever.

And thinking of the various remarks of Lian Guanzi above the court, Shen Qingjue snorted coldly.

She didn't believe that the reporting officer couldn't find this situation, such an obvious phenomenon, a conclusion could be drawn after a little thought.

Fleeing years are unfavorable, and there are many plagues recorded in history books, all of which are corpses lying thousands of miles away, floating corpses everywhere.It is said to be a natural disaster, but it can be resisted. What the father and son did is nothing more than waiting for the incident to happen, and no one can blame them.

Lian Guanzi's officials are mostly responsible for reporting this kind of civil affairs. Presumably they thought that the exiles could cover up the past, and if it was not good enough, they would not offend Longyan after the princess's birthday. Leave this kind of trivial matter to Lian Xiao, and the father and son will make a big fuss inside, first fooling this matter, trying to appease the refugees, and then making plans.

If you really can't control it, you can kill them all with one knife, which is better than having no life outside the city.

Shen Qingjue's expression became more and more indifferent. If she hadn't come here in person, she might not have known that there was a dead body outside the city. Lian's father and son made a plan to hide it from the sky, but they didn't know that this kind of thing is like Dayu's flood control. It doesn't work, it's unacceptable to go against the law, it's really stupid and selfish.

The man watched the expression on Shen Qingjue's face getting more and more serious, thinking about it, he didn't know what he said that offended her, and then thought of her power shining through, under Shen Qingjue's cold face, he actually started to tremble.

Shen Qingjue glanced at him and knew what he was thinking, so he said: "I thought of something sad, it has nothing to do with you, and thank you for saying so much, I will deal with the situation here, I will send you some later The medicine is coming, you wait here first."

The man saw that Shen Qingjue's face softened, and he was lying on the ground again after losing his strength for a while. The people next to him were also frightened by punches and kicks just now, and they sweated for this man. At this moment, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for him. There is no shortage of dignified nobles.

Shen Qingjue no longer sat in the carriage, but dismounted and walked on foot, followed by the carriage and a group of officers and soldiers. Seeing her tall and majestic, the refugees were not as frightened and uneasy as before, as if her appearance made them inexplicable stable.

As soon as Shen Qingjue turned around, the officers and soldiers had already bandaged the man who spoke rudely.

After Shen Qingjue walked along the road for a while, he saw Lian Xiao who hurried over.Lian Xiao was riding a tall horse, looking high-spirited, but when he saw Shen Qingjue, the smile on his face froze for an instant, Shen Qingjue smiled at him, everything was silent, Lian Xiao's handsome face Gradually stiffening, he knew in his heart that the wishful thinking between himself and his father might have been seen through by Shen Qingjue.

Lian Xiao turned over and got off the horse, but secretly clenched his fists in his sleeves.

When he was performing martial arts, he was shot off by this female general. I am afraid that he has become the laughing stock of many people. He is the only son of the prime minister, handsome and unrestrained. Not only did he have to bow to her when he saw her, even his father even had to be polite to her.

Lian Xiao secretly admired Xie Bingyuan. When he met Xie Bingyuan in Wuwang Building years ago, he was shocked. He wanted to find Xie Bingyuan's heart, but Xie Bingyuan declined her many meetings and generous gifts. You can't wait until Xie Bingyuan's heart secretly agrees, after a big fire, Xie Bingyuan moved into Shen Qingjue's residence.

Now it is the task entrusted to him by the emperor, and Shen Qingjue also wants to step in.

Every time I think of this, Lian Xiao feels a little depressed.People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and he also obeys the eaves, no matter where he goes, he has to bow his head.

He couldn't even laugh, but he could only go up to him and laugh with him: "General, why are you here?"

"I'm worried about Mr. Lian's official business, and I come to the outskirts of the city to take a look when I have nothing to do. Who would have thought that it would be a big deal."

Shen Qingjue responded.

Lian Xiao knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth: "This cold disease is so severe that I don't know where it started and spread. The general is a rich man. If you have nothing to do, please leave as soon as possible, so as not to be injured by the cold disease." you."

Shen Qingjue smiled, "Behind us is Taijing City, aren't we officials just to share the emperor's worries? We're going to retire and dump the stall for the people below, and the people below will inevitably feel chilled. It's not good if the cold disease gets out of control gone."

Lian Xiao's complexion changed, and he could only reply, "What the general said is true, so Lian Xiao refused to leave."

Shen Qingjue sent people to divide the refugees into two groups. One group had symptoms of typhoid fever and lived together, while the other group was healthy and lived in a refugee area closer to Taijing City.

She sent someone to inform Jiang Jingxiang, and Jiang Jingxiang immediately sent a thousand light cavalry to station here to isolate the refugees from the outside world. At the same time, he also brought a lot of military doctors to check the refugees one by one. Heal to prevent infection to others.

The largest cloth shop in Taijing City sent many veils over, and the subordinates asked Shen Qingjue to wear them one after another, but she didn't listen. Shen Qingjue stood here in a white robe and black cloak, and people didn't dare to take a break, so they had to work hard to build it The refugee Pengzi, the doctor also examined the patient's body more seriously, and the restless refugee gradually calmed down when he saw her, and he was no longer restless as before.

Among them, Lian Xiao walked away to eat lunch, but Shen Qingjue still didn't move. Seeing her like this, Lian Xiao couldn't even walk away cheekily. It wasn't until the night with her that the torches lit up the entire refugee camp, and it was a bit orderly here The way it works.

After the preliminary formation here, Shen Qingjue was ready to leave, Lian Xiao followed her carriage and rode her off for five miles, then turned around and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, the superficial stability did not reassure her completely, Shen Qingjue took off his cloak and sat on the carriage, pinching the space between his brows wearily.

There was also a plague in the previous life, which looked like typhoid fever. At the beginning, no one paid attention to it, but after the reaction, it was already irresistible, which caused the state of Mu to decline during the war with the state of Wei, and was almost out of breath. Before she committed suicide, half of Mu country had already fallen.

There is no shortage of plagues in this life, but it came a little early, breaking the stable life she thought would last for a long time.

The night was as cold as water, she opened the curtain of the car, and saw that Taijing City was still the same, as it was many years ago.

After so many years, it has not changed, it is still brightly lit and the city is busy, but she is getting more and more unable to understand it.

Not surprisingly, three years later, when she went to Manwuzhou to resist the Wei people, Taijing City had already started to lose money and gradually declined.She has seen the ups and downs of the two dynasties, and the city of Taijing from its heyday to its decline, to the establishment of a new dynasty, and then to its gradual decline.

The city of Taijing is full of ups and downs, just like her, there is no safe time.

But now, she is even more hopeful and stable than in her previous life.There is a lamp in the mansion reserved for her, and it cannot be extinguished until she returns.Even if she doesn't want any identity, she just wants to live a normal life with her after there is no war.

"What's the matter?" Wei Qianqiang was sitting on the head of the bed holding a book, and caught a glimpse of Ah Hei coming in in a hurry.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, today the city of Taijing is extremely lively. Shen Qingjue and Lian Xiao personally watched the construction of the refugee camp. After a whole day, the refugee camp began to take shape."

Ah Hei replied.

"Oh? Then the background of these refugees is not simple." Wei Qianqiang seemed to have guessed something, with an inexplicable smile, and when he looked carefully against the firelight, there was still a bit of creepiness.

Ah Hei was silent. As a martial arts master, he was actually most afraid of Wei Qianqiang showing such a smile.

"What's your majesty's order?"

"Go to Shangchu station and tell her to come pick me up tomorrow. With Shen Qingjue's ability, she should find us soon."

Wei Qianqiang said.Ah Hei backed away.

Back home, it was already late.

Shen Qingjue was as usual, no matter whether Xie Bingyuan was waiting for her or not, she subconsciously slowed down her pace, she gently opened the door and entered, only to find that there was no one in the room, only the lamp was on.

She likes to be quiet, and she is not so spoiled that she needs someone to serve her all the time, so she told her that she doesn't need someone to wait when she comes back late at night.

She took off her robe and untied her long hair, and the warm water in the bath relieved her fatigue from the whole day. After regaining some energy, she put on her usual nightgown and sat down at the desk, picked up the pen and spread out the paper to write thing.

After the plague in Taijing City in the previous life, some doctors made conclusions based on the disaster and wrote the book "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". Shen Qingjue didn't know medical skills, but she and I had read a lot of books and had a very good memory, so I tried hard to recall them during the day. Some things from the past can be remembered without saying much, and these things are especially important to her.

She learned from a famous teacher since she was a child, and learned the extremely beautiful and elegant hairpin lower script. As she grew older, her sharpness and arrogance could no longer be concealed, and it was reflected in her calligraphy, so she often wrote it easily. It is the flamboyant Zanhua Xiaokai, which is a little more elegant than the wild grass, and a little more chic than the Zanhua Xiaokai, very flavorful.

"Breathing in and out, up and down in the middle, because the breath travels and spreads, the body fluid circulates. Movements at any time, portrait description, spring strings and autumn floats, winter sinks and summer floods. Observe the color and pulse, the size is different, and it changes irregularly in a short time, the size Staggered, short or long. Wrong up and down, live or die."

The tip of the pen flickered line by line on the paper, every time Shen Qingjue wrote a few lines, he had to stop and think carefully to ensure that the written text was correct, so that she could deliver these things with peace of mind.

She just wrote the sentence "Wrong up and down, or survive or die", something stuck in her mind, but she just couldn't think of the next sentence.It is not difficult to understand, she is not proficient in medical science after a long time, so it is actually very good to write so much.

"Isn't the next sentence: Illness changes easily, advances and retreats are low-spirited. The mind is confused, and the discipline is lost?"

Xie Bingyuan draped a thin robe over her shoulders and stood behind her holding hot tea. Seeing that she couldn't think of anything, she gently reminded her.

"Yuanyuan? When did you come? Why didn't you call me?" Shen Qingjue put down his pen, grabbed Xie Bingyuan's catkin and pulled her to the side of the desk.

"Keep writing. I've been here a long time ago. I only reminded you when I saw that you couldn't think of the following words."

Xie Bingyuan said and put the hot tea on the table.

"You're right, the next sentence is indeed the sentence that the disease is easy to change." Shen Qingjue put down the pen and wrote it on the paper, "I forgot that you are Mr. Xie, who is well-known and memorized. If I had known this, I would have I called you to come and help me remember."

"Look at you, but the typhoid plague is here?"

Shen Qingjue nodded, but she forgot, she remembered, and Xie Bingyuan also remembered.Shen Qingjue didn't know that Xie Bingyuan was Mr. Xie. Naturally, it was because she didn't have much contact with Xie Bingyuan, let alone spent the Lantern Festival together during the Lantern Festival. She never spoke to Xie Bingyuan. ghost.

"Let me think about it with you. I have also read this "Treatise on Febrile Diseases."

Shen Qingjue pondered for a moment, nodded, and then gave Xie Bingyuan a pen and paper.The two wrote down the sentences they could think of on the paper, and after finishing writing, they stitched them together, and then recalled the stuck parts together.

Xie Bingyuan's handwriting is more neat than Shen Qingjue's, with clear strokes, soft and elegant, and the handwriting is as pleasing to the eye as the person. After about an hour, it was late at night, and the sound of the clock rang three times. The two finally wrote a small step together. Xie Bingyuan quickly found out the pronunciation and annotations of the rare characters or special pharmacological names in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" written on Xuan paper. With the help of the talented Mr. Xie, Shen Qingjue did a good job of retelling.

After sorting it out, it is almost half of the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases".

Both of them belong to the type of people who are well-known and memorized. If they are proficient in medical theory, they can retell "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" once.

Xie Bingyuan was still thinking about revising it again, but Shen Qingjue pulled her away from the desk with a firm attitude, saying that he wanted to spend a good night with his wife, but he didn't make a move after all, the two of them lay down with their clothes on, and slept soundly.

There is no way, the general has important matters tomorrow, and she has to go to the refugee camp to visit. If she has other thoughts, she may not be able to go to court early on time.
