Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

The pen and ink documents are scattered on a piece of paper, and the small letter box can't hold many things. Tang Zisheng tried his best to write in lower case as briefly as possible. Fortunately, he has been in this world for so long, and he has never stopped practicing handwriting.

Compared with the flaring teeth and claws when he wrote the letter to the general, he is much more restrained now, and seeing the words is like seeing a person. Although his handwriting may not be able to reveal his true background, it will not make people think that he is not good at a glance.

After Tang Zisheng waited for the ink to dry, he handed a small piece of letter paper to Haitang, "This letter must be delivered to Prime Minister Yan as soon as possible."

"The stars are bright and the moon is bright tonight, and there will be no rain. With the speed of a carrier pigeon, it will be delivered to Prime Minister Yan before dawn."

After Haitang packed the letter and let the pigeon go, she took the time to ask, "What happened?"

Yan Ke and Mr. Shen have only entered cocklebur, so nothing should happen.What's more, even if something happened to Mr. Shen, Mr. Tang would not be in such a hurry to use the general's line to contact Prime Minister Yan.

"It's fine for the time being, but if the news gets to Prime Minister Yan later, something big might happen." Tang Zisheng pinched his brows.

"What big event is worth your haste?" Zhou Nanchuan had never seen Tang Zisheng in such a hurry.

"I just got the news from Mr. Shen, saying that he has not dealt with many corpses left by the water receding along the way, and let the living go to recognize their relatives so that they can be buried in the ground. It is winter now, and there is nothing worse than the summer plague. So fast, I hope everything is still in time."

"Bodies drowned in floods must be cremated and destroyed in a centralized manner. This is clearly written in the book on dealing with floods. How could this happen?" Zhou Nanchuan was also horrified when he heard this.

If you say you have never experienced floods before, it is understandable that you do not know how to deal with many of the steps.But since the founding of the Dayu dynasty, there have been at least four major floods, plus those from the previous dynasty, the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty...

So much experience is written in black and white in books. Those students who are going to take the imperial examinations don't know who they are, that is, the people under the command of Xizhou General Soldier are illiterate, and what the magistrates and county magistrates of the county government eat.

"I also want to ask, but since the matter has already happened, it is useless to ask again. I still think about how to deal with the possibility, and it will not be too late to pursue responsibility after the matter is over." Tang Zisheng sighed, "Shen Yiran can Have you come back to the county?"

"Young master said that he will come back tomorrow."

"That's good. I originally thought that when the flood was over, Shen Yiran would lead troops to various parts of Xizhou to quell the banditry. By the way, he could hide the eyes and ears of the imperial envoy when he came to Cang'er County. Now it seems that it can't be done. When Shen Yiran comes back tomorrow , All the entrances and exits in Cang'er County need to be heavily guarded, and they are not allowed to enter and exit at will."

"Don't let them in, can you let them out?" Zhou Nanchuan was afraid that without the order from above, they would make their own decisions and it might cause public resentment.

"Let's go out but not in. If we have clearly stated the interests of those who want to go out in all aspects, and they insist on going out, then we naturally can't stop them. But if you want to come in after you go out, you just don't want to come in." possible."

"Nowadays the population is highly mobile. If there is a real epidemic, Xizhou will be in chaos for a long time, but they will not be allowed to enter and leave. Now all the rice and grain will need to be purchased from Kaiyun Mansion. When the time comes, the rice and grain in the county will be used. What should I do?"

"There is absolutely no shortage of rice and grain. It's just that there should be famine in all parts of Xizhou that have experienced floods. Not to mention the epidemic, it is just the refugees. If there is no army escort, they will be robbed of food."

"Since you've considered this, have you come up with a solution?"

"I'm not a god. There are so many ways. Now there is only one way to go, which is deserted."

"It is indeed a way to go to a sparsely populated place, but the desolation means that you can't go to the village or go to the shop. If you encounter bandits or get lost in the mountains and forests on the way, wouldn't you die in vain?"

"If this method doesn't work, then we have to wait for Prime Minister Yan to personally deliver the food supplies from the imperial court, and at the same time let the people in the surrounding villages continue to cultivate the land." Tang Zisheng said in a big way, the chain reaction brought about by a disaster is really impossible underestimate.

"If the epidemic strikes, Prime Minister Yan won't have the time to come. We'd better think about how to get more food."

Now there is no need to distribute clear porridge to the people every day, but they have a thousand soldiers in their hands, and many people in the stone village have to live on the food provided by the county.

Even if Tang Zisheng had hoarded a lot of food before, but he could only get in and out, he was still sitting and eating.

Once the epidemic strikes, it will not be over until doctors figure out how to cure the disease.As for when the doctor will be able to research a prescription to cure the epidemic, it is up to fate.

"There's no rush for the food. We can save some of our surplus food, and we can still survive for a month and a half."

The large batch of potatoes he had planted before had also yielded a good harvest, but they were all leftover seeds, and they would be planted after the spring. Two or three months later, the potato seeds would be enough to promote planting in Cang'er County.

After a year, food will no longer be a problem.

"Of course I'm not in a hurry. The ones who are in a hurry should be the officials in other counties. If the epidemic is really serious, it's not impossible to massacre the city."

What Zhou Nanchuan was worried about was that the cure for the epidemic could not be researched for a long time, and in the end he had to use the method of massacring the city to calm it down.

There were four floods in Dayu, and in two of them, the imperial envoys who were ordered to deal with the floods were helpless against the epidemic. In order to prevent more people from being infected, they only needed to surround all the seriously ill people in one city, and finally set them on fire to burn them to death.

"Prime Minister Yan would not do such a thing." Tang Zisheng closed his eyes. If it really came to the point where the city needs to be massacred, Cang'er County might not be spared.

Shunhe Mansion.

As the hardest-hit area of ​​the Xizhou flood, none of the more than a dozen counties under Shunhe Mansion was spared. After Yan or arrived in Shunhe Mansion, he arranged for someone to take over the dispatch of Shunhe Mansion, and began to monitor the surrounding areas of Shunhe Mansion. County towns for treatment and assistance.

After a few days of hard work, it has almost spread in Shunhe Mansion that the imperial court has prepared food relief for them. More and more refugees are coming from the surrounding counties. If there are too many people, conflicts will easily arise. The people under the state general's army maintained order, and they were afraid that things would be messed up long ago.

But before dawn today, Yan or was woken up by his subordinates, saying that there was an urgent report from Cang'er County, and the status of Cang'er County in Yan's mind is naturally the top priority. After waking up, he only put on his coat Sitting at the desk, I hurriedly read the letter.

In just a few words, the current crisis situation in Shunhe Mansion was fully explained, and it made Yan feel furious.If it wasn't for his self-cultivation and good manners, Yan might be about to scold someone, "When will the news be delivered?"

"My lord, the carrier pigeon flew over at the end of the Yin hour. The post box tied to the carrier pigeon was marked in red. It was an urgent report, and my subordinates sent it over immediately."

"Call me the Xizhou General Soldier." Yan Or put the letter paper on the side by the candle, and waited for the letter paper to burn out before changing his clothes.

These few days, in order to be able to finish his work earlier, he also slept very little, and he only went to bed in the middle of the ugly hour yesterday, and it was just after Yin Shi, but he slept for an hour and a half.

Originally thought that the exhausting and busy work of the past few days would allow him to see Yingle as soon as possible, but he didn't want this letter from his future son-in-law to let him know that he still had to be busy in the future.

Xizhou General Soldier Chen Hao was woken up by his subordinates, and when he heard that Prime Minister Yan had summoned him urgently, he hurried over without even taking care of his clothes.

"Master Yan, I wonder what happened?" Chen Hao's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He, the general of Xizhou, was actually recruited by his connections, and he couldn't compare to General Jing who fought bloodmarks step by step on the battlefield.

And this time before the imperial court sent people to be responsible for preventing floods in Xizhou, he didn't pay much attention to it at all, but if he didn't pay attention to this one, the floods really came, and his good days as the general soldier in Xizhou would come to an end.

For this reason, Prime Minister Yan didn't show up much in the Shunhe Mansion during this period, he only completed the things ordered by the superiors, as if he wanted to be a transparent person.But he didn't expect to call him over all of a sudden, maybe he planned to ask him for his crimes.

"When you sent soldiers to various counties for disaster relief, did you tell them what to do after the flood?"

Yan or stared coldly, tapped his fingers on the table, and heard a slight knocking sound, which made Chen Hao's back covered in cold sweat.

"Well, the lower officials have ordered them to cooperate with the local county government in everything. Everything is based on the lives of the people, and they are not allowed to leave their posts without authorization."

"Gone?"

Yan Or only asked two words, but these two words fell on Chen Hao's heart like a heavy hammer, and he didn't know why, "No, no."

"I remember that although the martial arts exam does not require literary talent, classics, and latitude, it also needs to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics. If you can sit in the Xizhou General Army, you must have passed the martial arts exam."

"Yes, I was at the top of the martial arts exam back then." Chen Hao was still a little complacent about this. He was able to get into the martial arts exam at that time because of his own ability.So he was not guilty at all of sitting in the position of Xizhou General Soldier based on his relationship.

"Since it is the top list, why don't you know that after the flood, all the corpses must be burned together to prevent epidemics."

Yan or's tone was two points more serious, and the questioning voice scared Chen Hao even more, and he knelt on the ground with a pale face.

"Right now, many counties in Shunhe Prefecture have never burned corpses soaked in water. What's more, the soldiers you sent took the corpses back to the county government office to let the people go to recognize their relatives. Do you know what the consequences will be? "

"I..." Chen Hao was dumbfounded by the series of questions. He, he knew, but he was too anxious when he dispatched the officers and soldiers, and he didn't think of it at all.

"Immediately send your other soldiers to go to the county offices to burn these corpses together. At the same time, every place needs to be smoked and roasted with herbs. All the people who have touched the corpses will be gathered together. If anyone has a fever, they will be quarantined immediately. "

Yan might not intend to continue to question Chen Hao, he will settle accounts after this matter, how to kill the epidemic in its cradle now.

"Yes, I'll do it right now." Chen Hao left without stopping, ready to gather people.

"Go and watch Chen Hao. If he doesn't say the steps to prevent the epidemic, tell him to make up for it." Yan Or calmly ordered his subordinates.

"Yes, my lord."

After the people left, Yan or sent someone to find the doctors he brought over on this trip. Originally, he brought these doctors to Yingle for treatment under the guise of floods, but now it turns out that these doctors are really useful.

Just hope it's all in time.

-

During the three days when he sent the news to Prime Minister Yan, Tang Zisheng was worried all day long, fearing that the news he received one day would be the outbreak of the epidemic.

Although Cang'er County is temporarily unable to enter and leave, the general and Zhou Nanchuan's eyeliners in various places in Xizhou still sent new news continuously. The news in the past three days seemed to be calm, but it gave Tang Zisheng a kind of calm before the storm .

But the reality was exactly as Tang Zisheng guessed, Zhou Nanchuan came in with a dark face today, "Donglin County has been closed down."

"I expected it. It seems that even in winter, the probability of the epidemic is still not small." Tang Zisheng relaxed tiredly, and his spirit has been tense these days.

Although the news coming now is not good news, it also gave the result, which gave him a direction to plan in his heart.

"Donglin County is the county government near Cang'er County. Now that there is a epidemic in Donglin County, I'm afraid that the people in the villages in Donglin County will all go to Cang'er County."

"I've already ordered Guards Shen to be sent on patrol. It's not so easy for them to come here."

"I hope so."
