The phoenix pattern is surging

The three of them remained silent for a long time, and finally Jiang Jue came back to his senses first, and asked in a deep voice, "How is the epidemic under control?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, we have sent medicinal herbs to the emergency, and also sent a large number of doctors there, but there were many casualties in Xianghua, and it was a very hot season, and the number of infected people was no less than 30, and it was still spreading."

Li Ran was startled secretly, Jiang Jue stared at it for a moment, then asked, "Is there any trouble?"

Meng Zhaokun bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Because of the many casualties, it is inevitable that some people will have trouble."

Jiang Jue nodded clearly, as if he had expected such a result. After thinking for a long time, he said decisively: "Send someone to inform Yin Chen, and say it is my will. If someone takes the lead in making trouble, he will kill everyone amnesty!"

"His Majesty?"

"There is no need to persuade, just do it according to the order! Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable after all, and the war is about to break out, so we can't make chaos! I can't let him mess up!"

He had a ruthless face, with murderous coldness in his eyes, how could Meng Zhaokun dare to argue, he bowed down, thought for a while and said: "I still have something to ask for instructions."

"Say!"

"According to the medical officer's report, most of the seriously ill and disabled people can't move. I'm afraid... they can't bear the pain of migration."

"What do you suggest?"

"In my opinion, it is advisable to transfer this part of the population to the surrounding counties, so as to avoid long-distance traveling and not drag down the brigade. I wonder what your majesty would like?"

Jiang Jue didn't answer, but asked with an unpredictable expression: "How many people are there?"

"Return to Your Majesty, there are more than [-]."

The idea of ​​local resettlement is sound, but Jiang Jue remained silent without nodding. After pondering for a long time, he said lightly, "You should understand that once the plague spreads, more than just the population of a county will be killed or injured."

Meng Zhaokun shook the hand holding the memorial, he vaguely guessed the emperor's meaning from the tone, and stammered, not knowing how to answer.

Li Ran was shocked at first, and then became cold all over his body.

Compared with 180 million, [-] may not be such a huge amount. Of course, he can weigh clearly which is more important, but this does not mean that he can agree with this kind of desperate strategy.

Naturally, Jiang Jue would be sad and feel sorry for letting go of these people, but if sacrificing some people can bring about the safety of more people, Jiang Jue would definitely give up, even if it was Su Mo or Yue Balanced, he would also feel sorry. is the same result.

After all, for people in high positions, human life is not the top priority, and stability is the first choice!

Li Ran lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time, his heart was complicated, and then he glanced sideways at the man in Panlong's uniform, and saw that his brows were tightly furrowed, his jaw was tightly clenched, although there was worry in his eyes, there was no lack of ruthlessness.

He sighed secretly, found an excuse to get up and leave, Jiang Jue was busy discussing follow-up matters with Meng Zhaokun, seeing that he was about to leave, he had no time to take care of it, and only signaled Ding Shun to follow with his eyes.

After Ding Shun followed Li Er then headed away for a while, seeing that their highness had a different expression, he asked cautiously, "Your highness is feeling sorry for the dead and injured?"

Li Ran frowned, and said lightly, "That's right."

Such an ambiguous answer made Ding Shun feel even more uneasy, he followed a few steps and said: "If your Highness has something on your mind, you might as well tell it to His Majesty."

These words hit the crux of the problem, Li Ran paused, stood on the corridor and stopped, leaning on the railing to look at the sky.

Ding Shun stood two steps behind him, accompanied him for a moment rather uneasy, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Highness, the sun is hot right now, be careful of the heat."

Li Ran didn't respond, and still stopped, without any intention of moving. After a long silence, he asked, "How long have you been with him?"

Ding Shun was puzzled, turned his slit eyes and thought about it, and said truthfully: "The servant is Bei Ye who entered the palace for three years and has served His Majesty for more than fifteen years. Why is Your Highness interested in asking these questions?"

Li Ran tapped his fingers on the Panlong lookout pillar, and said, "Then what do you think of him?"

"Your Highness?"

"It's okay, it's just you and me here, talk about it."

"Slave...don't dare to speak nonsense, Your Majesty is the body of a real dragon, so this slave can rely on the light of this grand event, so I don't feel very moved."

"Speak the truth."

His expression was indifferent, and there was no joy in his eyes. Ding Shun thought for a while, gritted his teeth secretly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, in that position, there are always many things you can't do, and you always have to choose."

"Helpless? A choice?"

"Whether you choose or give up, there will always be helplessness."

"Your boy is very smart, no wonder you have been around him for so many years."

He didn't want to say more, Ding Shun naturally didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, the two of them stayed silent for a long time, and then persuaded: "Your Highness, your body is important."

Li Ran looked at the vast palace under the bright sun for a long time, and his eyes were full of dazzling light from day to day. The white marble pillars and brick surfaces reflected the brilliance of the scorching sun under the scorching sun, setting off the grandeur of the entire Minghua Palace. , but also unpopular.

This is the prison the emperor lives in, and even his heart is as indifferent as this lifeless palace.

Li Ran backed away slowly, finally took a look at the cold and heartless face of the man sitting on the gilded dragon chair at the end of the black marble, and then walked away without looking back.

Ding Shun followed behind him carefully, never daring to slack off for a moment, always feeling that His Highness looked unusual, different from usual.

After Jiang Jue and Meng Zhaokun finished discussing the matter of Xianghua, they went back to the inner hall to search around, but they didn't see Li Ran. They asked the little six son and the old mother, and both of them said they hadn't seen them. People are looking around.

After about half a cup of tea, Li Ran brought Ding Shun in, and when he saw him, he just smiled and asked, "Are you finished talking?"

Jiang Jue nodded and went up to meet him, saying: "Now that the heat is rising, try not to walk around outside the hall if you have nothing to do." After speaking, he glanced at Ding Shun coldly, Ding Shun shrank his neck in fright.

Li Ran waved his hand without looking back, signaling the boy to go down, and then handed the book in his hand to Jiang Jue. Jiang Jue took it with a puzzled face, not in a hurry to read it, and raised his hand to signal Ding Shun to take it to relieve the heat. Li Ran picked out a chair and sat down, pointed to the seat beside him, and said, "Sit down and we'll talk."

He looked solemn, Jiang Jue looked serious, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"How did you discuss with Xiang Hua?"

"A general decision has been made, but this matter is not trivial and needs to be carefully considered. You should have heard the general idea in the palace just now. Why do you still ask such a question?"

Judging from his tone, he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with that decision.

Li Ran secretly sighed, stretched out his fingers and clicked on the book, and said, "This is the information on the eight counties in the north of Danfeng, take a look."

Jiang Jue opened it according to his words, looked at it, and said while reading: "I read this booklet earlier, but what's wrong?"

"Don't worry, this thing is fine."

Jiang Jue nodded, Li Ran lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then Shaoqing raised his head and looked straight at him, asking, "If some Danfeng people are transferred to Beiye, do you think it will work?"

Jiang Jue frowned subconsciously, and Li Ran continued without waiting for him to speak, "I have roughly checked the situation in these eight counties, and the conditions are good, but after Xiang Qi slaughtered the city, they were completely destroyed. They don't feel safe in the back, so it's better to transfer some of them to Beiye."

"It's not impossible."

Jiang Jue pondered for a long time, and finally nodded, but the doubtful expression on his brows and eyes did not decrease at all.

"Have you been to meet Zixin?"

"Yes, talk to him about something."

"What about Xianghua?"

"Yes."

The more Jiang Jue listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He got up and walked around the hall, and was the last one to stand still. He frowned and asked, "Xiao Ran, do you have anything to say?"

Li Ran raised his head to meet his probing gaze, thought for a while, and finally asked: "8 people is not a small number, just based on your words, so many people can only wait to die, are you willing?"

Jiang Jue sighed half-understood and half helplessly, changed his previous accommodating expression, and insisted: "I expected that you would be troubled by this matter, but the plague should not be underestimated. If I can escape, I can't take the lives of millions of people as a joke."

Li Ran shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

"If I could choose, I wouldn't want to make such a decision."

Li Ran was not in a hurry to refute. He took the map from behind, nodded somewhere above, and said, "This is Xianghua. It's only half a day away from the source of the Wusha River."

"Exactly, but what's the connection between the two?"

Jiang Jue looked puzzled, and Li Ran stretched out his fingers to make a final decision on the Wusha River, saying: "Since they can't withstand the long-distance travel, they should go by water."

"Waterway? Where are there so many ships?"

After Jiang Juefang asked, Li Ran laughed, but seeing him pat on the previous book, he said: "Not enough, you can ask Danfeng to borrow it."

Jiang Jue reacted almost instantly, his eyes flashed, and he said, "You mean?"

"There are many mountains and trees in the north of Danfeng. Recently, a batch of timber was felled. It was originally used for reconstruction. Now we have transferred a group of people to Beiye. It doesn't take so much. Transporting it to Nanliu can kill two birds with one stone."

"Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The things belong to Danfeng. Nan Liu can do whatever he wants, but he has to buy them with cash." At this point, he curled the corners of his lips treacherously and said, "If such a big thing happened, the rich master would be more or less pleased. What's more, if the plague is not resolved for a day, they will not be able to live a stable life. It is worthwhile to have money to buy peace of mind."

After Jiang Jue heard it, he couldn't laugh or cry.
