Ning Chen Ling Xiao

The eyes of Ling Xiao and Chu Yifeng met, and they both understood in their hearts that the symptoms mentioned by the governor of Shuntian were clearly those of Ling Xiao a few days ago. There are already many people suffering from the disease outside.

Ling Xiao gave Chu Yifeng a reassuring look, since he has already recovered, it is not a major symptom in his mind.

Immediately, someone came out and proposed to inform the whole country, reminding all counties and states to be more vigilant, and someone proposed to send troops immediately to take the poor people who had the plague into one place. Ling Xiao was about to speak when Wei Bo came out and said: " Since such a big incident happened, I thought that the Holy Majesty could issue an edict against himself to calm the hearts of the people."

It's Weibo again!Ling Xiao tilted his head slightly and glanced at him from the corner of his eye. Last time he wanted to take back the little prince, it was because of this killing that he blocked it. After being beaten by himself a few times, he is still so ignorant and guilty of his own edict?Why?Was the plague created by Chu Yifeng? !

Ling Xiao came out, without rushing, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I think that this symptom is not necessarily a plague." Ling Xiao explained before everyone questioned him: "I am not talented. When I was in the hospital, I also heard the Taifu talk about the plague. Plague, one day is received, and one is contagious. Although the feeling is different, the disease is the same. And it mostly occurs in the spring and summer season, and it also occurs in the autumnal equinox. I don’t know why. Is the plague also prevalent in this cold winter? There were several major epidemics in the previous dynasty, and all the adults can read the remaining copies, and none of them were in such a cold time."

It is true that many people feel a little loose after saying this, Ling Xiao continued: "This year is a cold winter that has not been seen in decades. It’s not a plague. And not many people are infected now, it’s better to wait and see first, dispatch dispatch, if it is a plague, it can be controlled, so there will be no delay.”

Ling Xiao summed up his statement: "I think that the emperor can allocate funds for relief, but there is no need to go to war to announce to the world that it will make people panic." In this way, several veteran ministers of the cabinet understand that Ling Xiao is trying to calm people's hearts. The cabinet There are also a few people who have done old things with Ling Xiao, and they are all people with clear minds, and they are connected with each other, and many people immediately came forward to second the proposal.

Chu Yifeng naturally listened to Ling Xiao, nodded his head and said a few more things before leaving the court, Chu Yifeng went directly to the back, Ling Xiao went to the council hall first, and Wei Bo caught up with Wei Bo as soon as he walked out of the hall. With a smile on his face: "Master Hou is very eloquent, and he refuted his dismissal in a few words."

Ling Xiao stopped, and looked at the people in front of him with half-opened eyes. Sometimes Ling Xiao really couldn't figure it out. Now that he is an extremely human minister, deeply favored by the emperor, and holds great power in his hands, why there are always people who don't open their eyes and want to follow him? Can't make it by yourself?

Ling Xiao pursed his thin lips slightly, and did not speak. Wei Bo was a bit boring, and there were still many officials around him who hadn't left. Wei Bo laughed a few times, and said: "I don't know how the Lord Marquis is about this plague, oh No, what is the best solution for this symptom?"

Ling Xiao chuckled, and raised his arms to let the little eunuch who followed him put on the snow fox fur. Ling Xiao tied up the neckline by himself, and straightened his pressed hair. He glanced lazily at Wei Bo, The phoenix eyes are half-raised, the expression is arrogant, and the voice is neither high nor low: "When Lord Wei enters the cabinet in the next day, I will naturally discuss with him. Now I have to go to the council hall, so I will listen to it when I have time." Master Wei's high opinion."

The officials listening around couldn't help laughing, Wei Bo's face was flushed, Ling Xiao seemed to have not seen him, and took his servants to step on the snow.

As soon as Ling Xiao entered the council hall, many young eunuchs came out to greet him. Shaking the snow, shaking the snow, and untying the fox fur, handed over the hand stove that had been prepared a long time ago, and Ling Xiao took it and handed it the stewed one. After taking a few sips of hot tea, holding the hand stove, he turned and went into the inner pavilion.

Inside, Chu Yifeng and all the cabinet ministers had already sat down. After Ling Xiao saw the ceremony, everyone knew that Ling Xiao's young master was a style. Most of the people in the cabinet grew up watching Ling Xiao. He entered the palace from a young age to be favored by the Taizu and the Empress Dowager, and they didn't care, everyone said hello and started talking about today's matter.

After entering the cabinet, you can open the skylight and speak honestly. Ling Xiao frowned slightly: "It's hard for you uncles to accompany me to make up lies just now. This is indeed a plague, but fortunately it doesn't hurt people's lives very much, and the severe cold is blocking it. It won't be contagious, but if it is not handled properly, it will wait until the spring of next year..."

Everyone also thought of this, so they were unwilling to expand the plague. Now it is the first year of Chu Yifeng's enthronement, and everyone who came to the throne knows that the plague is happening at this time, and they have committed their crimes. Don't they understand? Telling people all over the world that Chu Yifeng came to the throne is not decent, even God will condemn him.

And what Ling Xiao thinks of is not only this, but more importantly, once it is determined that it is a plague, it will be no wonder that there will be no chaos in this new year. At that time, people will be panic, and Ling Xiao can know what kind of chaos it will turn into when he thinks about it.

"The current plan is to quickly suppress the epidemic." Ling Xiao paused and said, "We can't announce the plague, just say that the weather is too cold next year and I have typhoid fever..."

"One is to imitate the old system of the previous dynasty, find out the house and set it up as Fu'an Hospital, carry the sick patients in for recuperation, and send the imperial physician to take care of them. The second is to widely distribute medicinal materials, quickly summon the imperial physician, and distribute It is approved to enter the Fu'an Hospital to treat patients, and the prescriptions are taken from the judges of the Tai Hospital, and they must be effective."

Ling Xiao raised his head and glanced at Chu Yifeng. The two of them couldn't laugh or cry. This time, Ling Xiao made guinea pigs for the victims, which was considered a merit. Isolate the infected area, immediately bury the feces of people and animals in the infected area, and take good care of the water source, and the patients who died of the epidemic, no matter what their status, are not allowed to park, and buried on the same day, there must be no mistakes."

This is the first time an epidemic has occurred in this dynasty, and the veterans in the cabinet are also uncertain. Hearing what Ling Xiao said is straightforward, they feel more at ease, and they can't help admiring in their hearts.

Ling Xiao talked about the ministers of the cabinet while giving him some advice, and after a while, he completed a few urgent policies. Duke Xiang hesitated for a while, and said: "I think...the last one is really inappropriate. If it’s an ordinary family, it’s fine, but if it’s a relative in the city, someone with a reputation and a command, how can someone not stop and bury him after death? This is a good way to prevent the plague, but if it is really implemented..."

"Who dares not to bury it? I'll send someone to help him bury it." Ling Xiao said coldly, "Anyway, if you don't bury your family in time, it's dead, so I might as well help them. If one person doesn't bury it, it will harm the whole family. Let Shun Tianfu Bingong can enforce the law, don't be afraid of offending people."

Duke Xiang sighed in his heart, Ling Xiao's temper... Isn't this calling him a curse?

Ling Xiao naturally knew in his heart that Ling Xiao was different from the native scholar-bureaucrats of the Chu Dynasty. He didn't have many worries. He never cared about the way of a gentleman or the name of benevolence and righteousness. I don't care, I don't know anything when I die, and future generations can comment whatever they want. The more others hate him, the more they fear him, the more they will fear him, so Ling Xiao is satisfied.

Chu Yifeng also fully supported Ling Xiao this time. After all, he had personally experienced this illness. Ling Xiao was much healthier than ordinary people, and he was well-fed every day, so the old imperial doctor gave him such a big It took a lot of time to save them, and one can imagine the situation of the poor people outside after being infected with the epidemic. Chu Yifeng has been used to it since he was a child in the army, and it is easy to talk about how to be soft on weekdays, but under such circumstances, he knows that it is necessary to use iron and blood Only the wrist can turn the tide.

After discussing these things, the next thing is the most practical thing. Building a Fu'an hospital is money, and asking doctors to use medicine is money.

Ling Xiao raised his eyelids and took a look at the Minister of the Household Department. Every time he mentioned money, he would look at the old man's bitter face, but he couldn't blame him. The money in the treasury was not theirs. Ling Xiao hated the first emperor. After being in office for a year, he didn't do any shit, but he spent a lot of money, which was almost enough for him to finish his funeral.

The taxation of the Chu Dynasty is not too harsh, and after the funerals of Emperor Taizu and the late Emperor in the past two years, the silver is indeed almost lost.

Ling Xiao thought for a while, and said: "Don't move the money first, and think about it tomorrow morning."

"What did you do in the early court?" Chu Yifeng still knew how much money he had in his hands, and he was a little bit bitter, "Actually, I also have this money. You have saved a lot of money by rectifying the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year. These I can still take it out."

Ling Xiao nodded: "I know I can get it out, but life is hard these days, and I can't always pay for it myself..." Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Go, please go to my aunt, I still have something to say with my aunt to speak."

On the morning of the second day, Duke Xiang explained what the cabinet discussed yesterday. They did not mention the epidemic, but only talked about this year's severe cold. He was taken care of by Haosheng in Fu'an Yuan and helped the people through this difficult time. All the ministers were not stupid. The cabinet ministers all insisted that this was not a plague, but which of these things was not aimed at the epidemic?

This is the means of the superiors, everyone knows it in their hearts, so naturally they dare not say it, just obey orders with peace of mind.

Seeing that the courtiers had no objections, the Minister of the Household Department came out slowly and called him poor. Ling Xiao stepped out, and first gave a generous speech in cadence, talking about the people's livelihood, talking about the victims of the disaster, and sighing at the hearts of the people. Finally, he concluded: "The minister is just a little The merits are due to the emperor's favor, food and salary, and enjoy the honor and favor. The Ling family has long enjoyed the emperor's favor, and they dare not forget each other day and night, and they think about it day and night. The yellow and white things are effective!"

Ling Xiao bowed: "On behalf of Marquis Shoukang and the Ling family, I would like to donate 10 taels of silver to help build Fu'an Yuan."

The ministers of the DPRK and China wished to stab Ling Xiao to death with a knife, so you are the only one who is loyal, right? !You are the only one who is considerate, right? !You are the only one who has money, right? !

Chu Yifeng's father-in-law closed his eyes silently. Ling Xiao sent a post to Antaihou's mansion last night. Although he didn't say anything important, Antaihou knew what it meant. It was an old trick in the officialdom. There is still some tacit understanding with Ling Xiao, knowing that Ling Xiao is asking him to help second the meeting tomorrow morning, but he didn't expect such a thing!

Marquis Antai admits, Ling Xiao has set his own path. He is a marquis who paid a hundred thousand yuan, and he is also a marquis, and he is also from the family of the Empress Yuan. It is impossible to say, the Marquis of Antai gritted his teeth and came out and said: "The old minister also I would like to offer 10 taels."

There were also a few ministers who had been instructed by Ling Xiao to come out on their own initiative, and they all showed their loyalty and paid a certain amount of money. Many people were so angry that they were angry. This was another trick of Ling Xiao's flattery!If you want to donate money, you can’t donate secretly. You have to be in this hall, and you have to confess your loyalty before donating. It seems that others are not loyal if they don’t pay. How many families can stand in this hall? At least everyone has a little bit of family background, those who have money give more, and those who have no money give less, so there must be some meaning.

Ling Xiao hurriedly asked the Ministry of Accounts to record the money donated by the adults, and when the morning was over, he followed him home to collect the bills. Those who went to court donated these, and after the court was over, since those below knew to follow, okay, now they have made a lot of money, and there will still be leftovers after the epidemic is over, um, it will be used to fill the treasury.

Ling Xiao glanced at Wei Bo and those who were watching the excitement yesterday, and sneered in his heart, didn't he feel quite proud yesterday, today he bleed a little and that's it.

Ling Xiao was soft in counting money in the front, while the queen mother in the back leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, looked at the orders and smiled: "I don't have anything else to do today, but I just look at the snow, let the ladies accompany me to see it." scene."

The orders were naturally happy to accompany them. After admiring the snow, having tea and snacks, they chatted and chatted. Ling Zhi sighed: "We only thought the scenery was good when we saw the heavy snow. We didn't know that the poor people outside were suffering so hard. I heard that people in the suburbs of the city Many people everywhere are sick because of the severe cold weather."

The Queen Mother followed with a sigh: "Yes, although we women shouldn't be involved in the previous matters, but I feel uncomfortable after hearing this. I said that this year, Fenghua Palace must be frugal and have some money left over. to donate to the poor."

Ling Zhi jokingly said: "Since this is the case, I will also gather some flowers to use, and do some good deeds with my aunt, so that I will be rewarded."

All the orders were chatting interestingly, but it was only a few hundred taels of silver, and everyone could get it, and they could sell it well in front of the Queen Mother, so why not do it?When talking and joking, I have to follow the queen mother to get some, so as to get the blessing of the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager was naturally happy, and she started talking and laughing and brought the conversation back to the golden weaving flower tin that was in fashion this year, feeling amused in her heart, as she had entrusted Ling Xiao with her work.

These edicts won't pay much money, but women's families have unique functions for women's families. If they are separated today, these wives will inevitably spread the matter. Ling Xiao has a good plan, and those who want to sell to him can't find it. Will the people in the door be stupid?No, they are very smart. Donations can be made at the entrance of Fu'an Hospital, and the donation list will be sent to the palace. They naturally know how to do it to attract their attention.
