Chapter 73: The King Likes It Much

Today's condition is finally better, and only then will there be a chance to open Yichen's sight.

After getting some things ready, we continued on our way.

In this way, it took another five days to finally reach the plague land.

When she was outside, Song Zhiyao could already faintly see a dark cloud above the plague land, black smoke and miasma, and outside the city gate, there were still many people begging, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, and they didn't know how long they hadn't eaten.

Song Zhiyao sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know how many people will die this time." ”

"Childe, death is inevitable every year, Childe still don't worry about nothing."

"Yes, death is inevitable every year, but pity the children." "If Childe can deal with this plague, then these children will not be displaced, Childe don't think so much, just do your best."

Yang Qingdi comforted Song Zhiyao everywhere.

Song Zhiyao nodded; "You're right, a clear conscience is it, and doing your best is it."

"Yes, Childe, it's already here."

Yang Qingdi reminded.

Song Zhiyao got up from the carriage and looked at the only place in the town that was not bad, and the most powerful people lived in it, and that was the local magistrate here.

Song Zhiyao looked at the door plaque and said; "Where is the magistrate now?"

"Childe Qiyu, I should have gone to the scene of the plague, so I didn't come to greet him now."

"Hmm." Song Zhiyao answered and didn't say anything else, and Liu Yichen walked directly inside, the guards guarding the door looked at Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao, I don't know who Song Zhiyao and Liu Yichen are, but thinking of the notice I received some time ago, the regent and the prince are coming here to deal with the plague, it stands to reason that they should have arrived some time ago, but they didn't come, which is also the reason why the local parents are no longer there, everything was prepared a few days ago, but I didn't see Song Zhiyao and Liu Yichen coming, Today, the plague was so anxious that it was delayed.

The guards looked at Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao's dress, and said respectfully; "Presumably the two are the regent and the crown prince, right?"

Liu Yichen nodded; "Where's your lord?"

"Lord Qiqi, the plague on the front line is too serious, the adults went to help early in the morning, and the small ones should have passed today, but the adults explained when they were leaving, and the regent and the prince are coming during this time, so the little ones are waiting for the two adults here."

Song Zhiyao and Liu Yichen glanced at each other: "According to what you say, there is no one in the mansion?" ”

"Exactly, there is only one person in the mansion who receives the two adults, and the two adults also invite the inside, everything has been prepared for the two adults, and the two adults will take a break."

"No need, since the adults have already gone to the plague land, the plague must be difficult to contain, so take us to the front to have a look." Song Zhiyao directly refused, although rest is important, but ...... Now Song Zhiyao has not worked particularly hard all the way, not to mention Liu Yichen, not to mention how comfortable the carriage is, hard work does not exist.

The guards looked at Song Zhiyao with some embarrassment; "This adult, the master has already explained when he left, you must take care of the two adults, now you come to give me a little rest, just pass, I'm afraid this is not good?"

"What's bad, these are all required below, you don't have to worry, if your family is asked, just say that it is said below, and the adults will not embarrass you."

The guard looked at Song Zhiyao with an embarrassed expression, and finally nodded, after all, the things on the front line are more important, and now is not the time to waste time; "Those two adults, please come with the little ones."

"Hmm."

Song Zhiyao nodded at Liu Yichen and motioned for Liu Yichen to follow.

And Liu Yichen followed Song Zhiyao and walked outside, and after the guards found a place to put the carriage up, they followed.

Along the way, Song Zhiyao looked at the people who were lying, walking, and sitting around her, and felt pity, these people were too pitiful.

The plague was rampant, and these people had no money to take medicine to cure their diseases, so they had to wait for death......

"Okay, a few uncles, I haven't eaten for three days, please ask a few uncles to give me something to eat."

The guard saw that these people had been pleading at Song Zhiyao's feet, so they stepped forward and drove all these people out; "These people have been hungry for too long, so they are so rude, please don't blame the adults."

Song Zhiyao shook her head, there is no food in her hands now, if there is food in her hands, it doesn't hurt to give it to these people, but ......

Every year when there is such a situation, there is food for disaster relief, why are so many people still without food?

"Where's the relief food here?"

"Lord Qiqi, the food for disaster relief will only be available every morning, and there will be no other time."

"Why?"

"There is not enough food, so I can only hold on like this, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid these people would have ...... long ago" The guard looked at these people with a distressed face, but to no avail.

Song Zhiyao nodded; "Well, let's go, let's go and have a look."

After Song Zhiyao finished speaking, she continued to walk forward, but fortunately, the distance was not very far, and the time for a stick of incense arrived.

The more you go inside, the more people will be inside, and it will be crowded.

The guards kindly gave Song Zhiyao and Liu Yichen a way out, and Song Zhiyao walked in unimpeded.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a middle-aged man busy before and after, still holding a piece of paper in his hand, recording something.

The guard stepped forward at this time; "My lord, the regent and the crown prince sent from Kyoto are here."

The man was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao behind him; "Your Majesty will see the Regent, His Royal Highness the Prince, if you miss the distance, please ask the Prince Regent and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive your sins."

Of course, the highest status here is Liu Yichen, at this time, Song Zhiyao did not have a chance to speak, so she waited for Liu Yichen to speak.

Liu Yichen glanced at the big man; "It's okay, please get up quickly, what's the situation here, you can tell me."

"Yes."

At this time, Lord Hou gave a general explanation of the situation here; "Now there are thirty people who are seriously ill and dying, and they will leave at any time, and there are fifty people who are moderately plagued, and the remaining hundred people who are mild plague, and two hundred who are not infected with the plague, and this is the list of these people."

Lord Hou said and sent the things in his hand to Liu Yichen's hands.

Liu Yichen took it, took a look, and then sent the things in his hand to Song Zhiyao and said; "Prince, what do you think?"

"It's very good for Lord Hou to count all these people, it's a correct choice, but Lord Hou, although you have counted these people, do you divide them? Segregate these people? ”

"Prince Qiyu, all the seriously ill have been isolated, but those moderate and mild have not been isolated, after all, there are still some children who need to be taken care of."

Lord Hou looked at Song Zhiyao with an embarrassed expression.

Song Zhiyao nodded; "You are doing well if you are severe, but from now on, mild and moderate will also need to be isolated, remember, their quarantine area needs to be ventilated from time to time, so that the environment inside will be better and the condition will not worsen."

"But the prince, if all these people are isolated...... I'm afraid it will cause chaos, right? ”

"Why?"

"After being isolated in this way, many families have been separated from their wives...... I'm afraid it's a bit hard to maintain. ”

"Difficult to maintain? That must also be maintained, is it possible to just watch all these people die? You ask them whether it is important to live or to die with their families. You know, when you die, there's really nothing left, so let them think about it. ”

Song Zhiyao's words made Lord Hou not know what to say for a while, because Song Zhiyao's words were very right...... I can't argue with it myself.

Finally, Lord Hou nodded; "Yes, the lower official will go down and prepare."

"Well, separate these people, by the way, how much grain is there now? How long will it last? ”

"If we use some grain every morning, we can last about a month."

"There's not much food left." Song Zhiyao frowned, although she brought some food this time, it was all a drop in the bucket.

"Yes, now the food is not enough to feed and clothe, and it is really difficult."

"It's okay, just think of a way to do these things."

"Yes, then the next official will go down and prepare."

"Go ahead."

Song Zhiyao waved her hand, and Lord Hou took the notebook and left.

At this time, Song Zhiyao turned to look at Liu Yichen Dao; "Lord Regent, I wonder if it's the right thing to do?"

"The prince's decision must have been well thought out, so why be wrong?"

"I wonder what the Lord Regent thinks about this?"

"This king has the same opinion as you, you can implement it, as for the grain and grass, you don't have to worry, presumably the grain and grass should be delivered in three days."

Song Zhiyao looked at Liu Yichen in surprise; "Could it be that the regent has prepared grain and grass?"

"Could it be that King Ben came empty-handed?"

"Thank you, Lord Regent, for these victims."

"You're welcome, just do your part."

"I will definitely do my part and solve problems for the regent."

"Well, this king is a little tired, and he has gone down to rest, so you can do things well."

"Yes."

Song Zhiyao couldn't wait for Liu Yichen to leave quickly, Liu Yichen was here, but he was a little blocking Song Zhiyao's movements.

After Liu Yichen left, Song Zhiyao had the energy to focus on these refugees.

Song Zhiyao personally stepped forward to check the pulse and asked, although it was just some three-legged cat kung fu, but it could still come in handy.

Song Zhiyao looked at the little boy in front of her, dying, and about to pass at any time, so she asked; "What's the matter with this person?"

"Lord Qiyu, this child is also pitiful, his parents left before and after, no, he is weak and sick, and he was accidentally infected with the plague, I'm afraid this family will leave......"

"I see." Song Zhiyao suddenly realized that frail and sickly people are indeed easily infected with the plague.

Song Zhiyao wanted to continue walking, so someone pulled Song Zhiyao's arm and said; "This son, you still have to wear a veil, the plague here is too powerful, it's better to be careful, if the son is infected with the plague, it will be bad."

Song Zhiyao nodded; "You're right, thanks for the reminder."

Song Zhiyao took the handkerchief and put it on her face to avoid being infected with the plague, and then continued to walk forward, watching the doctor hold the medicine in his hands one by one, and walked to the patient to drink it himself, but the patient only drank a little and spit it all out.

Song Zhiyao hurriedly went up and grabbed the doctor's arm and said; "Doctor, what's going on with this medicine, why don't patients want to drink it?"

The doctor glanced at Song Zhiyao, although he didn't know Song Zhiyao's identity, but seeing that Song Zhiyao was dressed brightly, he definitely didn't dare to provoke and put down the medicine bowl in his hand; "This son, don't you know, this medicine is no longer enough, so you can only use other medicinal materials instead, and the taste has changed a little...... All these people didn't want to drink it, but because of the illness, many people still forced it to drink. ”

"You say there aren't enough medicinal herbs?"
