Chapter 47: The Plague Outbreak

Although the ministers didn't say anything, they were all guessing in their hearts:

"The emperor is poor, where does he get the silver?"

How did they know that Zhu Youzhen had already found tens of millions of taels of silver from the corrupt soft bones, how could they care about the money from the Jingshi disaster relief.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhu Youzhen detected their thoughts, didn't care, and slowly got up and said:

"As the official of the people's parents, my Ming officials must regularly go to the people to observe the people's feelings, but they cannot be notified in advance, they can only pay a private visit, and now you will take me down to inspect it."

Seeing that the emperor was going to the people, the ministers were worried about his dragon body, so they all stepped forward to comfort:

"The emperor can't do it now, Weichen can go down, it's not safe outside, you can't take risks."

"It's okay, don't say more, act immediately."

"Wechen obeys the order"

In this way, the Ming monarch and his entourage left the imperial city and walked onto the streets of Beijing, in order not to disturb the people, Zhu Youzhen only brought A Qing Yuhuatian and fifty brocade guards.

The prosperous Jingshi in the past has completely subverted Zhu Youzhen's cognition today, although there are some pedestrians on the street in broad daylight, most of them have yellow faces and faltering steps.

Many of the shops along the street were not open, and there were many homeless people lying under the eaves of the shops.

"Adults save us, give us a bite to eat, there are few people in the family anymore."

Zhu Youzhen's brows were furrowed, his heart was sour, as a modern social traverser, he couldn't imagine how these people survived.

He waved his hand, let Jin Yiwei follow far behind, and walked towards a child who was about to die, the child was in the old man's arms, the old man's eyes were full of tears, but she couldn't do anything.

Bending down and grabbing the child's wrist, a stream of internal qi entered the child's body, and Zhu Youjian found that the child had no other problems, obviously lacking nutrition and being hungry.

"Yuhuatian, go to the front and buy some buns, the more the better."

"Obedience"

Yuhuatian agreed, and led five or six brocade guards to buy steamed buns, and Zhu Youzhen turned around and asked the old man:

"Old man, how long has it been since this child had enough to eat?"

"Alas, what does it mean to have a full meal, he has not eaten enough since he was born, he can only barely live, and this time he has not eaten a grain of rice for two consecutive days."

The old man said weakly, the arms that had no flesh at all could no longer hold the child and slowly softened.

"Old man, is there anyone else in the family, how can you take good care of the children at such an age."

The old man shook his head weakly:

"They all died, either by starvation or by plague."

Zhu Youzhen only felt that his eyes wanted to be red, and when he looked back at the ministers behind him, he found that the ministers were also red-eyed.

"Your Majesty, the buns are here, and the buns on this street are all here."

Soon Yuhuatian and others arrived, bringing several baskets of steamed buns, and as soon as they arrived, many homeless people surrounded them and stretched out their dirty hands.

Taking the majesty of these brocade guards, the homeless people did not dare to rob them for the time being.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone distribute it to you later."

Zhu Youzhen took five buns to the old man, waved at Yuhuatian, and asked him to distribute the remaining buns to the homeless people.

"Auntie will give you buns, eat slowly, don't choke, you will have something to eat tomorrow."

Zhu Youzhen said, slowly got up and walked to a house.

Although the house was not bad, the door was wide open, and there was no one to walk around, waving his hand to stop the ministers from entering, and Zhu Youzhen stepped in alone.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhu Youzhen's eyes widened, and he was completely shocked by the tragic situation inside.

In order to protect the host, the system strengthened Zhu Youjian's physical functions, and he was immune to poisons and infectious diseases.

Hearing the old man talk about the plague, Zhu Youzhen decided to take a look nearby, just in case, he would definitely not let the ministers and A Qing and the others accompany him.

It was a good room, but it was a mess, with five people lying horizontally, men, women, and children.

Zhu Youzhen had an ominous premonition, and when he stepped forward to take a look, sure enough, all of them were dead, and there was still a lot of vomit left around these people.

With a thought in his mind, a long sword in his hand gently picked open the shirts of several people, and there were obvious ecchymosis and bleeding on his skin.

", it's really the plague, the whole family is infected and no one survives, is the mortality rate of the plague so high?"

In order to confirm his thoughts, Zhu Youzhen walked into several houses in a row, most of which no longer existed, and only a small number of people were alive, but they were obviously infected.

Judging from the tragic situation in front of us, the plague infection in the nearby area must be quite serious, and it must be locked down immediately.

However, if you do that, you need a certain amount of troops to deal with it, and if the soldiers are infected again, it will be dangerous when the eastern captivity army attacks.

Zhu Youzhen pinned his hopes on the system at this time:

"System, ask a question, will the army summoned by the system be infected by the plague?"

"Ding, like the host, their body functions and settings have been strengthened, and they will not be infected."

Zhu Youzhen is happy:

"Holy, thank goodness."

Li Banghua, Qi Jiguang, A Qing and others all began to worry when they saw that the emperor had not come out after entering the private house for half a day.

I wanted to go and see what was going on, but I was worried that disobeying the will of the saint would make the emperor unhappy, and everyone was anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Just when everyone was about to let Ah Qing quietly investigate, Zhu Youzhen walked out of the residential area with a melancholy face.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"Your Majesty, what's going on, did you find anything?"

Zhu Youzhen nodded:

"Quick, you guys leave here immediately, go to the Taihe Hall and wait for me, don't stay, Yuhuatian and I will go to the three camps to have a look."

"This ...... Wechen obeyed"

Although everyone didn't understand what was going on, and they didn't dare to resist the order, they agreed and left here in a hurry, while Zhu Youzhen and Yuhuatian hurried to the three major camps.

Now Zhu Youzhen seems to have figured out one thing, why there is no resistance when Liukou enters the capital, there must be unknown reasons.

The two of them took a step forward and performed light skills to the limit, just like two trapeze men, and after half a pillar of incense, their figures appeared in the original three camps.

As an important base for the defense of the city of Beijing, the three major battalions did not even have a single person standing guard.

Zhu Youjian exchanged some masks in the system and gave one to Yuhuatian, and the excess was stored in the system warehouse.

"Yuhuatian, bring this belt."

"Your Majesty, what is this, how to wear it, and where to wear it?"

Yu Huatian took the mask, he was stunned, he didn't know what it was, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but laugh:

"Hang the strap on the ear, cover the mouth, there is a virus here that can be transmitted."

"Oh, obedience."
