Liang Yuqiang came out of prison and immediately began to work on some matters related to the plague, starting with sending doctors to the suburbs and villages to treat the people, because all unstable factors began with this disease.

However, the epidemic in the suburban villages is much more serious than in the cities, and the doctors who go there can not save people from fire and water with their enthusiasm alone, and may have to pay for their lives.

No one in the Imperial Hospital was willing to go, and the masters of the palace were not willing to let these Imperial Doctors go. They are gone, what if someone in the palace is infected with the plague?

So the first measure is heavily blocked.

The second is to stabilize prices, the first of which are the four spices, salt, vinegar, wine, and sugar.

Liang Yuqiang came up to the officials who managed the official salt, and then issued an urgent order to mobilize a large amount of sea salt from Tianjin Wei, but salt has always been the foundation of the country, and no one can adjust the price, so it is still sold according to the original price of official salt, and the official salt is too coarse and the price is high, so the people will risk death to buy private salt.

Now, although the price is lower than that of private salt, people who can buy salt still have savings.

However, as long as official salt is sold, the price of private salt will drop instantly, and the salt will be considered stable.

There is salt for sale, the price is not so outrageous, then in the city in the rumor, the effect of salt and sugar is about the same, so if the price of sugar is too expensive, everyone will choose to buy salt, so that the price of sugar will also come down.

Then there is wine and vinegar left, the relationship between wine and vinegar is similar to the relationship between salt and sugar, there is just one, but wine and vinegar are not like salt, they are private transactions, the government can not control it at all, the government can order specific liquor stores not to raise prices, but they will sell out in the name of going underground, so it is not at all that the government does not control, it depends on who has the resources.

Sending people to support the suburbs and leveling prices, neither of the two things was satisfactory, and Liang Yuqiang felt a great obstacle to contend with the imperial court.

But Fang Jinglong's side is complacent, there is always a way to get rich, even if he Liang Yuqiang comes out, what can he do? He controls salt and sugar, can he control wine and vinegar?

Liang Yuqiang can't, even the emperor can't control it, because the emperor can't force those wine shops and vinegar shops to hand over all the wine and vinegar.

Controlling the price of wine vinegar is a real tricky business.

Just when Liang Yuqiang was at a loss, he received a letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, his eyebrows suddenly stretched and he smiled.

Now he is running errands with the four princes, and it just so happens that the four princes came to the yamen to look for him, and when they heard the laughter, they asked, "Lord Liang is smiling, is it because the plague has passed?"

Liang Yuqiang stopped and smiled and saluted him first, and then handed him the letter: "It's the wine that has fallen, Miss Zhou's wine cellar is in Jiangxi, and she has been supplying some famous restaurants in the capital. ”

"Zhou Qingye still has a wine cellar?" The fourth prince was a little dumbfounded, what else did he not know about her.

Liang Yuqiang didn't care how the four princes were distracted, and said: "By the way, Miss has cured His Highness's illness, no wonder His Royal Highness can call Miss's name." Then he said with emotion: "These things are settled, Your Highness, now we have to think of ways to settle those displaced people who have fled into the city." ”

The fourth prince came to Liang Yuqiang for this matter.

He said: "These people are doing evil in the city, I have asked the military department to mobilize 3,000 people, search for them in turn, and execute one if they catch one, and take advantage of the chaos to commit murder, they should not live in this world, they are simply inhumane." ”

Liang Yuqiang's eyebrows furrowed again, and said: "Those who have already committed a crime must be severely punished, but if His Royal Highness doesn't want to calm people's panic, I'm afraid that this wave of homeless people will be arrested, and the next wave will pour in, even if the city is blocked, it may not be much safer, not to mention that the people outside the city still have to come to the city for medical treatment, and we can't besiege the capital to death." ”

The fourth prince glanced at him: "I understand what you mean, but the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital can't all be sent out, otherwise the huge Forbidden City will not be exposed to the plague, what if someone is infected?"

Liang Yuqiang knew that at this time, the lives of these princes and nobles were much more important than the common people, and he said: "Then transfer people to set up some tents outside the city first, about the doctor, I want to consult Miss Zhou, maybe she has a way." ”

One is a golden branch and jade leaf born in the royal family, and the other is an old fritter who is mixed with officialdom, but at this time, he has to go to the people to find a female doctor to find a way.

The fourth prince had not seen her for several days since he made Lin Xiaojue angry last time, and since Liang Yuqiang proposed, he said, "My lord, stay and I'll go." ”

With that, he turned around and left.

Liang Yuqiang said in his heart that I said that I wanted to ask Miss, but I didn't say that I had to go in person, and he couldn't figure out the thoughts of the four princes, so he shook his head.

When the four princes came to Donghua Street, there were still no pedestrians on the street, but Lin Xiaojue's shops were all open, and those who came in and out were not customers, they were all people with tofu cloth covering their mouths and noses.

The fourth prince knew that these people were some family members of the Zhou Mansion, and they were transferred by Lin Xiaojue to help take care of the patients.

He asked Sijiu to stop at the corner of the street, and then got out of the car and entered the Yueyue Building.

The little second who received it was also wrapped in tofu cloth, and when he heard the voice, he thought it was a patient, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a familiar person, and hurriedly saluted: "Master Zhu, you are here to find Miss." ”

The fourth prince saw that they were all covering their mouths and noses, and he seemed to be at a loss with his bare face, so he hurriedly raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, then glanced out of the door, and then turned around and said, "Didn't you say that your young lady transported five hundred jars of strong wine? Why don't you sell it in the store?"

Getting close to Lin Xiaojue, the four princes know more or less about Donghua Street, Lin Xiaojue's shops are empty, wine is a necessity for people in the capital now, and they have to sweep the houses every day, if the five hundred jars of wine are sold in which store, Lin Xiaojue will not raise the price, then the store will definitely have a good reputation, and doing business is about reputation, and there will be more customers if the reputation is good, so the wine store will be an instant hit.

But when the four princes looked at the street outside, they didn't look like they were selling wine here.

He didn't believe that Lin Xiaojue didn't have such a vision, so what about wine?

Xiao Er heard the fourth prince ask, didn't think much about it, and replied: "Put it in Juxian Building and Tianxian Building to consign, our young lady said that Donghua Street is full of patients, if it is a good person who comes to buy wine, he is afraid of being infected with the plague, so he puts it somewhere else."
