Chapter 111: Refugees
There are many ordinary people in Wu County who have the same idea as Liang Qing, and they also regard this young man as their benefactor and their relatives in their hearts. Judging from the current situation, if someone does something unfavorable to Wu County, maybe Yang Yun will not need to speak, and the people will take the initiative to unite and defend this land to the death.
The improvement of the condition of a large number of patients greatly reduced the fear of the people of Wu County about the plague. Fewer and fewer people are sick, and the county government has lifted the ban on people staying at home.
Everyone went out of the house and tried to take action. Because of this plague, many people have no financial income at home, and their families are already unable to make ends meet. Fortunately, the county government will take out grain from time to time and build porridge sheds, so that not a single person in the entire Wu County has been starved to death.
This made the people of Wu County feel very lucky, because this plague has spread to several counties around Wu County, and many people have died of illness in these counties, as well as people who died of poverty and starvation.
Now that the ban has finally been lifted, you can go out! Everyone took action. Started to make a living, to make up for the losses of the previous period.
"Alas! Old, old, not in good health! I didn't expect to be so sick, I thought I would go to see Lord Yama this time, but I didn't expect to be able to pick up a life. Guo Long, whose condition was under control, was very grateful when he saw that His Royal Highness King Wu risked being infected and came to visit him in the hospital, but he didn't say it.
"Hehe, you are the pillar of our Wu County! Even if Lord Yama comes in person, we will fight with him to take you back from Lord Yama. Yang Yun said with a smile.
"Guo Ye! Our county needs you very much, you have been sick for a while, but you can exhaust me! You have to recover quickly, Zhong has to find a chance to be lazy! Zhong Wenrui on the side said with a smile.
In this plague, Yang Yun was very satisfied with the core of his forces. In the face of danger, none of these people thought of fleeing Wu County, and they have been trying to unite around Yang Yun to help the people of Wu County get rid of the torture of illness.
Some ran up and down to help the county government collect medicinal herbs, and some risked infection in the hospital to serve the sick people. There are also active persuasions to the people in the county town to let them stay at home and not go out at will.
Through this plague, the people of Wu County have more trust in the officials of the county government. In their hearts, only the current group of officials are really called "parent officials". They are indeed different from the previous group of officials who only knew how to collect people's fat and ointment all day long, and did not want to help the people well.
As the saying goes, "the hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai moves!" "Thanks to the concerted efforts of all, the situation has improved significantly. Although more and more people are sick, in addition to a few hundred seriously ill patients, the vast majority of people who have been infected with the plague have recovered their health.
All this made the people of Wu County very happy, especially some old people, who had seen a lot. I know that in the past, for the common people, the plague was a disaster, and they were often faced with the death of an entire village.
Unexpectedly, after such a disaster, Wu County only killed hundreds of people. Except for some who died because their resistance was too weak, most people's conditions were under control, which was a phenomenon they never dreamed of!
All of this was thanks to this young man and his men. Many people in Wu County regard Yang Yun as their benefactor and as a god in their minds.
I don't know when it began, in the homes of some ordinary people in Wu County, there began to be a Buddha statue of the Immortal Buddha. And the person sculpted by this Buddha statue is none other than Yang Yun, the leader of the White Lotus Sect.
Many families, when they get up in the morning, they have to bow down in front of this statue of the Immortal Buddha. I expect this White Lotus Sect Master to live forever and protect the people of Wu County forever.
"Go back! Get back! If we don't go back, we're going to release the arrows! "At the junction of Wu County with other counties. This scene happened again, and many people who fled wanted to cross the border between the two counties and go to a place that they thought was relatively safe.
The scene is very similar, but the destination that ordinary people want to reach has completely changed. At first, it was the sick people of Wu County, dragging their children and daughters, wanting to leave Wu County to go around to escape the disaster.
But now, it's all turned upside down. The counties around Wu County, although they are constantly guarding to the death, are still inevitably infected by the plague.
In these counties, there is no leader like Yang Yun who really thinks about the people, and there are no officials like Yang Yun's subordinates, who are not afraid of hardships and are willing to ask for their lives for the people. Of course, the most important thing is that they don't have a White Lotus Sect Master like Wu County with superb medical skills and vast magical powers.
Therefore, the plague in these counties, from the initial outbreak of a few people, slowly began to spread. Initially, the spread was very slow because fewer people got sick. But as more and more people contracted the disease, the plague began to break out rapidly in various counties.
From one or two people at the beginning, to a dozen people, it has now developed into thousands, or even tens of thousands of people, who have been infected with this disease, which makes the people feel hopeless.
The officials in the counties had no choice but to resort to some of the most drastic measures. Drive sick people into the mountains and leave them to fend for themselves. Or to drive out of their own county. As long as the people in their own county do not get infected with this disease, let them go to other places to spread the disease.
There are also some ruthless officials who even burn the seriously ill patients alive. Because only in this way can the physical diseases of these people be completely eliminated.
Under such circumstances, the sick person is inevitably discriminated against by everyone in the county. Even their own relatives are afraid to contact them, so fleeing to the outside line is their best choice.
That's when news came. Say this place in Wu County. The condition has been controlled, and many people have been cured of this intractable disease through the traditional Chinese medicine prepared for them by the county government. Hearing the news, the sick people in each county flocked to Wu County one after another with the tacit approval of the county orders of each county.
"Young master! Ordinary people from all over the county. There are already 20,000 or 30,000 people, who have been blocked by us at the intersection into the territory of Wu County, but now they are almost unstoppable, and they say that it is death to not let them enter the territory of Wu County. So even if they are shot to death, they will come to Wu County. Zhong Wenrui hurriedly came to the county office. Like Yang Yun reported.
"Why stop them? If they want to come, let them come! Yang Yun said with a smile.
"But young master, how can this be done? The condition that we managed to control with great difficulty, didn't these people infect all the people of Wu County again? And even if they are not infected, but the food and clothing of tens of thousands of people, where can we provide for it in Wu County! Zhong Wenrui summoned the receipt.
"That's a problem too. So you get them all together. Let's discuss and brainstorm together, and we can always find a solution! Yang Yun said to Zhong Wenrui.
This matter has reached a very critical point, and Zhong Wenrui notified this part of the core of Yang Yun's forces as quickly as possible. In the afternoon of the same day, everyone in the county town came to the county ya, and even Guo Long, who had just recovered from illness, hurried over with his weak body. Finally even in the mountains. Yan Xiong. Yao Xia, Liu Haini and others also arrived.
"Your Highness. I don't think it's going to be possible to let them in. In this way, our Wu County will be finished, and this time, I will be the villain. I let my subordinates. The soldiers were guarding the entrances, and they really wanted to come in. I'll shoot them all, and I'll put a torch on you there, and burn them all!" Liu Yuan was the first to stand up. Said fiercely.
"Young master. I think too. They can't be let in. For the people of Wu County. Let's be the executioners of the people! Zhong Wenrui said, his tone full of helplessness.
Yang Yun looked at the audience and saw Yao Xia, Liu Haini, Chi Mu'er, and even the old Du Wei Tieshan nodding under his gaze, expressing their support for the opinions of the two.
Only Ju Yuanguang, Guo Long, and Yan Xiong showed unbearable expressions on their faces and did not express their attitudes.
The attitude of these people. He clenched his right hand into a fist. Tapping lightly on the table. Close your eyes and think seriously in your head, after a moment. Yang Yun opened his eyes, and a determined look appeared on his young cheeks.
"Nope! We can't do such cruel things. These refugees. Put it all in. It's just that they can't be allowed to enter the county seat and find a relatively open place where no one is there to settle them. "After the decision. Yang Yun said to everyone in an unquestioning tone.
Yang Yun said this. Ju Yuan Guang Yan Xiong. and Guo Long and others. A look of joy flashed in his eyes.
"But even if there is a place to place them, what will happen to this medicinal herb and this food?" Liu Yuan said anxiously.
"Well, let the soldiers at the intersections tell the people of the counties who are coming. To enter the territory of Wu County, you can, let them as much as possible. Bring some food and clothing. As well as some. Urgently needed herbs for the treatment of this disease. Guo Long, who had not spoken, said slowly.
"We can still ask the court for help. Tell them about the severity of the outbreak this time. It is hoped that the imperial court will send nutritious food and medicinal herbs. It is used for disaster relief. Help us get through this. Yan Xiong also continued.
"However, even if the imperial court has the heart to provide disaster relief. Wait for their stuff to be delivered. It's been a long time! But we, the victims here. Some have died, some have starved to death. Qi Wei, who had been standing next to Yang Yun, suddenly said.
"But even if there is a place to place them, what will happen to this medicinal herb and this food?" Liu Yuan said anxiously.
