[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

After hearing the whole story, Octavia did not speak immediately, but was silent for a while under the eyes of everyone, and then asked: "How many cases are there in Rome now? The Romans who escaped these days How many people are there?"

Narcissus looked at Octavia's face carefully, and said after consideration: "There are still [-] cases in Rome, and more than [-] Romans have escaped."

"The next target of those Romans who escaped must be Pompeii. Remember to inform the consuls and tribunes of Pompeii to do a good job of epidemic prevention, and then close the city gates, and do not let those refugees or nobles who escaped from Rome into it. Octavia's voice was full of indescribable cruelty: "Since they can't trust Roman officials, then we don't have to care about their lives."

One of the elders seemed unable to bear Octavia's attitude of ignoring those Romans, so he said a little angrily: "You are naked| nakedly trampling on the "Citizenship Law". If it were normal, you would definitely be accused To the court of Rome."

Octavia glanced at the distraught senator, and said calmly: "You also said that if I do this on weekdays, I will definitely be sued in the Roman court, but now is a special moment. When those people ignore When the orders of the consuls and tribunes left Rome arbitrarily, they had already lost part of the power of the Romans, and they would pay the price for trampling on the rules.”

After all, Octavia's eyes swept over the faces of the elders one by one, making several senior elders recall the dictator kings of previous generations: "If any of you want to People who leave Rome intercede, then please let go of your status as a senator and go back to be an ordinary citizen. Because the senator's responsibility is to maintain the stability and prosperity of Rome, not to help the Romans trample on the rules set by ourselves. "

"If there are fugitives who trample on the rules in your lord's family, then for the sake of your lord's reputation, I hope you can think about the great Lucius Junius Lutes, and then make a move for your family. The most correct choice." After Octavia threatened, she slowed down her tone and turned her attention to Vepasian and Galba.

"Besides, I would also like to thank Lord Vepasian and Lord Garba for controlling this sudden disaster. Although we haven't done our best yet, at least some people are willing to pay for Rome."

"This will be the cornerstone of our never-daunted spirit and determination to overcome natural disasters."

After talking with the elders in the palace, Octavia left Narcissus, Vepasian, and Galba alone to discuss the next epidemic prevention work.

Just before going again, she still wanted to ask where Nero was: "The emperor is the backbone of Rome, he will not abandon his subjects, let's go to Pompeii together!"

Octavia felt that this was most likely what Nero would do, and besides him was a fancier Gacius Florus, so if Nero had left at the beginning of the outbreak Rome, Octavia will not be very surprised.

Narcissus and Vepasian glanced at each other, and did not answer Octavia's flowers in a tacit understanding.

For people like them who have experienced three generations of emperors, the fate of saying the wrong thing is terrible.

Especially criticizing the emperor behind his back, if it is passed to Nero's ears by someone with a heart, it is very likely to become a sharp knife stabbed at them by Gacius Florus.

Just by looking at their expressions, Octavia knew that she had made a good guess.

Galba is not a person who is eloquent, but at such a critical moment, he can't help worrying about Octavia's safety, and he doesn't want Octavia to be punished by Nero because of what she said. and his followers were thrown into prison.

"If you meet a difficult person during the epidemic prevention process, then even if the emperor is here in person, I will stand by your side." Galba said with shocking words: "Rome needs stability, and now Only you can bring stability."

Octavia's originally tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot, and she sincerely thanked Galba: "May the goddess Vesta bless us to survive the disaster, and don't let the Romans suffer more pain."

With the military support headed by Galba, what Octavia will do next is to re-plan Vepaxiang’s epidemic prevention work, reiterate the importance of the ban, and even pay out of her own pocket to compensate those who are willing to stay at home .

"Except for doctors, farmers, traveling merchants, and soldiers on patrol, the rest of the Roman citizens are not allowed to leave their houses easily unless they are patients who have found an epidemic in their homes. If there is a need for shopping, you can go upstairs. Look at the ironware at home, and trade with traveling merchants with hooks and baskets."

"In addition, unemployed men and women can weave cloth and emergency furniture at home. This will prevent the shortage of resources in temporary hospitals outside the city." Octavia agrees with Wei Paxiang's timely separation of patients, and this is the top priority , further divided it into mild, moderate, and severe, and then added some epidemic prevention steps.

"Every fifteen days, let the epidemic prevention personnel distribute herbal medicine packs door-to-door, remind everyone not to drink unboiled water, and regularly use hot water and herbal medicine to disinfect the things at home. During the transaction, remember not to have physical injuries. Contact, it is best to have those patrolling people and doctors wear masks and herbal kits to prevent shortages of our already small number of manpower."

"And don't throw the remains of the dead patients into the wild, because it will only pollute our land, and cause the wolves in the wild to eat the meat of the dead patients, further spreading the plague." Although Octavia is not He is a professional doctor, but he also knows that the piles of corpses can easily become the source of the plague, and it is even very likely to accelerate the evolution of the virus, becoming more contagious and deadly.

As a general who has fought for many years, Galba naturally understood this, so when he cooperated with Vepaxiang, he would burn the dead body if he could, and drag it to a farther place for deep burial if he could not.

Octavia had a detailed discussion with Vepasian and Garba on the handling of the remains and the people's life during the ban period, and invited Lukusta and Asker, who are very good at medicine research Lepius, I hope they can figure out the source of the plague as soon as possible, and then optimize the existing treatment methods.

While Octavia was overwhelmed by the epidemic in Rome, an unprecedented disaster also occurred on Pompey's side.

Because of the wrong guidance of the consul and the sudden influx of patients disrupting the pace of life of the people of Pompeii, some citizens who were not sick had fumigated their homes, causing fires to break out in the city one after another. It turned into a fire all over the city.
