Zhang Zhaohua saw that the princess was dark and worried, and couldn't help but feel relieved: "Mother doesn't have to worry, floods are the most harmful when people are unprepared." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Although my father is on the front line now, he has seen the disaster at this time, not to mention that there are Ma He, Li Xing, and Haitong who are stable by their side, and they will not let their father personally take risks. ”

"That's not what I'm afraid of. The princess shook her head.

"Although the disaster is dangerous, but people will win the day," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Although there is pain after the flood, but the most important thing is to rebuild, before Zhigu was just a small town, now it is just right to play the imperial court, build a big city here, the city will make the people feel at ease." ”

"What you said is right," Princess Xu thought deeply: "I remember my hometown Anhui, there is a place called Shouchun, the city is surrounded by water on three sides, often threatened by floods, once it encounters heavy rain, the water in the city is confluent, and the Huai River water rises, and there is even the danger of backfilling, two torrents inside and outside, often a vast ocean, and the people are buried in the belly of the fish do not know how many." But after the city wall was built in the Song Dynasty, several times the city was besieged by heavy water, all unharmed, the city wall was built, it is said that it is very organized, and it is also very strong, I don't know if such a craft can be embraced in the construction of the city of Zhigu. ”

The princess said this, and sighed again: "Actually, it's not this that I'm worried about. She stood up as she spoke, and said to Ah Wei, "Hang up the map." ”

Ah Wei took down a calligraphy on the wall and hung the map on the table. Zhang Zhaohua walked in and found that it was a map of the mountains and rivers in the area under the jurisdiction of Beiping Prefecture.

Beiping Cheng announced that the political envoy of the Beiping Mansion has jurisdiction over Sanhe County (Litongzhou), Xianghe County (Limiaozhou), Dong'an County, Yongqing County, Gu'an County, Bazhou (Wen'an, Dacheng, Baoding County), each place is clearly marked, and the topography of mountains and rivers is also well documented. Zhang Zhaohua had seen such a map from the grain chief before, and he could understand it, but it was still a little difficult, and because they were all the same color, the eyes of people who watched it densely were uncomfortable.

"The letter was delivered late," said the princess, "and the victims must have come to Beiping, but fortunately they will not go too far." Before leaving, your father said that the victims of the disaster must be intercepted when they go north, but if there is a big disaster, there will be a big epidemic, and the epidemic will follow these disaster victims, and once they enter Beiping, it will be irreparable. ”

"Qihua Gate and Chongren Gate. Zhang Zhaohua thought about what the conditions were in the square area near these two gates, and she was also frightened.

"There is a cemetery almost out of the city to the east of Chongren Gate," the princess said, "It is the burial place of the people who died in the five years of the epidemic in Hongwu, so many people died, and the corpses piled up in a mountain and no one came to claim them, not because to avoid the epidemic like avoiding evil spirits, but because there was a person infected with the epidemic in a family, and the family was almost dead." ”

"Epidemic prevention is the top priority," the princess said: "No one can enter Beiping in Zhigu, the government soldiers and Yanshanwei fight the flood, the disaster is dangerous, and it is impossible to allocate many troops to prevent the victims from coming to Beiping City." ”

Zhang Zhaohua said: "The Yamen of the Envoy Division and the yamen of various prefectures and counties should also have rescue and prevention measures——"

"There are few people in the county government," said the princess, "I'm afraid that I won't have time to react to anything, so I let the victims into the city in a daze." Moreover, the decree of the political envoy was issued only an hour ago, and it has long been a thing of the past when it reaches the localities. ”

The princess is telling the truth, of course, there is another truth that this place in Beiping is not as good as other places, and the officialdom is the kind of atmosphere that can be passed, who is not the most looking forward to being transferred away as soon as possible, from the political envoy to the county official, all have this mentality, so King Yan, the vassal king who rules Beiping Mansion, is really not easy to do. If these officials are counted on in the fight against disasters, it will be all over.

"This place, Dong'an County," the princess pointed to a place on the map, and said, "It is the only way to go straight to Beiping, the place is not big, and the population is not large, and the most important thing is that there is also the largest nursing home in the whole Yan Realm." ”

The social security of the dynasty is still good, especially in the Hongwu Dynasty, there are almshouses in the state and county to accept the widowed and lonely poor and beggars, there are rations every month, and charities such as Zishantang and porridge factories help the helpless, and for those who have no money to bury, there is even a leaky garden to bury them. The prefecture of the world is a righteous mound, and this is the person who died on the battlefield.

According to the princess, the nursing home in Dong'an County was built in the second year of Hongwu, and then Hongwu five years because of the epidemic in Beiping, this nursing home was full of people, so it was expanded more than twice, the place is very large, and because it is also good governance, the princess has to take care of the nursing homes around the country every year, to the elderly and children living here, send money and goods, and even benefit the local people, so it is very loved in the local area, whenever you see the frame of the palace into the city, Dong'an County is to help the old and the young out of the city welcome.

"There is a lot of space in the nursing home that can be vacated to resettle the victims," the princess said, "just to give porridge and medicine in this place, firstly, to share the pressure on the Zhigu side, and secondly, to prevent the victims from going north and prevent the epidemic." So I'm going to go to Dong'an County in person. ”

"Why does my mother want to go in person," Zhang Zhaohua was shocked: "You just need to send someone over, now that my father is not in the house, and my son is not here, Beiping needs my mother to be in charge, how can I leave easily!"

"No one in Beiping needs to be in charge," the princess said, "There will be no chaos here." ”

Zhang Zhaohua was full of thoughts for a while, but he heard someone come to report: "Ge Changshi is here." ”

Ge Changshi led a person in, who was said to be the ambassador of the Beiping Huimin Pharmacy. Huimin Pharmacy is the official name of the central and local government pharmacies of the Guo Dynasty, which originated from the Cooked Pharmacy and the Pharmacy Bureau in the Northern Song Dynasty. It can be said that Huimin Pharmacy is actually equivalent to the government-run pharmaceutical factories and state-run pharmacies in later generations, mainly for the general public, and the imperial court implements a subsidy policy for them, so that the drugs they sell are far below the market price. In addition to selling medicines, Huimin Pharmacy is equipped with medical officers who also treat patients, so it is also very similar to the nature of the hospital.

In the third year of Hongwu, Huimin pharmacies were opened in Beiping and Nanjing, and then the edict ordered the state capitals of the world to be opened, and the pharmacies had ambassadors, deputy envoys, commanders and medical officers, which were under the jurisdiction of Tai Hospital. The pharmacy not only stocked medicinal materials, but also prepared medicines, and also provided free medicinal materials to the poor and sick people of military and civilian craftsmen, and when the epidemic occurred, they also provided medicinal materials free of charge. This is a good policy, but in the long run, the system is not perfect, because Huimin Pharmacy, as an official charitable medicine agency, has subsidies from the central government, but it has not been managed well to obtain profits, medicinal materials are not only sold at low prices, but also distributed free of charge when the epidemic is rampant, and in the long run, it will not make money at all, and the loss is the state finance.

This point is still not disadvantageous, of course, if you want to change it, it is not in front of you for a while, now the deputy envoy of Huimin Pharmacy has rushed to Zhigu with a good doctor, the ambassador has just counted the medicinal materials, and found that the rest of the medicinal materials are enough, only a benzoin is much worse.

"There is a lack of benzoin," said the doctor from Jingshitai Hospital, who is now the leader and ambassador of the Huimin Pharmacy in Beiping Prefecture: "Without this flavored medicine, it is impossible to concoct Baodan, and what can be prepared now is Zixuedan and Niuhuang Pill, but I don't know if it can completely deal with the symptoms, or if you have all three treasures, you can have a greater certainty." ”

The princess immediately asked people to notify the good doctor to count the remaining benzoin in the house, but it didn't take long for Liu Yizheng to come, saying that the benzoin was also running out of stock, and it was a drop in the bucket.

Zhang Zhaohua saw that Liu Guan was actually in the mansion instead of following King Yan to Zhigu, and felt a little strange in his heart, Liu Yizheng's medical skills were still very secure - then she figured it out by herself, it seems that the princess has already made a decision and has made up her mind to go to Dong'an County.
