Chapter 032: The First Step

Spring came early in the south, and the weather was getting warmer in February, and the news that kept coming back made people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts, but the people in the Weiwang Mansion were not very anxious, because everyone knew that once something happened, no one would lose His Royal Highness, as long as they followed closely, there would be no problem. Besides, there is a shortage of food everywhere now, and I heard that now the forbidden army has begun to reduce from three meals to two meals, and although they can't say that they eat well, they are full, so they are also very satisfied, and they look forward to going on like this.

"Your Highness, the lower officials have something to report, if you don't take measures, something big will happen in the house!" Every day, after breakfast in the ministry, I will go to the church to say hello and ask for some things, but it is also a trivial matter, but today everyone has just given a salute, Hao Yuntong said suddenly.

"Oh, is there anything wrong with Hao Hanlin?" Zhao Hao leaned forward and asked. Everyone was also taken aback, but they didn't hear anything big about it in the house, so they all pricked up their ears and looked at Hao Yuntong.

"Your Highness, now that the people in the house are large, their daily life and diet are mixed together, and they are dribbling everywhere, so that the house is filthy and full of lice, and the situation is worrying." Hao Yuntong said with anxiety on his face.

"Hehe, Hao Hanlin, don't scare people, what's the fuss about a few lice on the body, how many imperial lice are on the emperor's body, not to mention us soldiers!" Zhao Mengjin said with a smile.

"That's it, that's it, people have three urgencies, and urine are coming, where can I still take care of finding a good place!" Zhang Zizhen also said with a smile.

"Hao Hanlin thinks too much, there are often many people on the ship, and they are all people next to each other, isn't there nothing going on?" Liu Zhu, the commander of Dongshizhai, also said indifferently.

"Hmph, you forgot quickly, do you remember the incident on the plague ship?" Everyone was talking about it, and they all felt that Hao Yuntong was alarmist, if it weren't for the fact that everyone has a doctor who has three disasters and six tribulations, I'm afraid that the ugly words would have been said a long time ago, and Hao Yuntong's face had changed like pig liver in the ridicule, obviously angry to the extreme, he stood up and roared coldly.

"Huh?!" After Hao Yun's voice exploded like thunder, the hall was immediately silent, especially Zhao Mengjin, Zhou Xiang and others who walked down from the plague ship, their faces changed several times, and the hellish situation on the plague ship was still vivid.

"Hao Hanlin, someone in the house has been infected with an epidemic?" Liu Zhu asked in a trembling voice, although he did not get on the epidemic ship, he had also seen the tragic situation of the sick in the army when they were dragged away, it was no different from going to the execution ground, and it was even better to be stabbed, so as not to suffer from those diseases.

"Yesterday I was inspecting the house, and there are already infirm people who have fallen ill, and there is no sign of spread." Hao Yuntong replied.

"Oh, Hao Hanlin didn't bring such a scary, the Sprinkle family thought that the epidemic had occurred, but it turned out that there were only occasional people who were sick." Zhao Mengjin breathed a long sigh of relief.

"General Zhao's words are wrong, one person will be infected to two, and two will be infected to more people, does it have to wait until the epidemic breaks out and the palace is sealed to be considered serious?" Hao Yuntong said angrily.

"Hao Hanlin is not annoyed, the Sprinkle family is just talking." Hao Yuntong has also taken care of them on the epidemic ship for so many days, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has the grace to save his life, seeing that he was in a hurry, he hurriedly smiled and said with caution.

"Hao Hanlin, since the outbreak of the epidemic in the army last year, there are many sick people, and it has not been completely eliminated so far, and there are signs of epidemic nowadays, do you have a good prescription?" Seeing that everyone in the hall was looking at each other, thinking about how to escape this catastrophe, Zhao Yu also asked with an anxious face.

"Your Highness, the lower officials think that there are three urgent tasks at the moment: first, the people in the palace should be evacuated and the sick should be isolated, so as not to be crowded in one place and infect each other; The two sanitize lice and rats, and it is strictly forbidden to defecate everywhere and litter; There is also to dry the bedding frequently, keep the clothes neat and tidy, not allowed to drink raw water, and eat less raw food. Hao Yuntong arched his hand and said.

"Well, General Cai, General Zhao, General Liu, Huang Gongzi, and Zhang Yishi, do you think it's feasible?" Zhao Yu nodded when he heard this, and turned to the four temporary managers.

"Your Highness, the lower officials think that what Hao Hanlin said is extremely true, and it is not difficult to do, but there are more than 5,270 people in the mansion, even if you want to live in separate camps, you can't find so many houses for a while, and there is a lack of camp tents!" Seeing His Royal Highness asking, Cai Wanyi thought about it and said.

"Well, anything else?" Zhao Yu nodded and asked again.

"Your Highness, forgive me for being rude, the house has a large population, and there are only two latrines, so everyone has to defecate everywhere." Huang Xianyao said.

"Your Highness, everyone also wants to change their clothes frequently, but we came out in a hurry, and we only had the clothes on our bodies, and we couldn't change them at all, so we got lice." Liu Zhu said helplessly, they ran all the way on the escort road and lost all the way, and now the military uniforms on their bodies have long been tattered, and they can only barely cover their bodies.

"The Sprinklers think what everyone says is true, but these are all small things compared to the epidemic. There are fewer houses, we can build more; There are not enough latrines, so we can repair a few more; If there is a shortage of clothes, as long as you try to raise them, besides, Your Highness has ordered the envoys to sew them. Zhao Mengjin, who was still laughing at Hao Yuntong just now, heard that maybe these bad habits might cause a plague, and his attitude immediately changed, but he was right, any difficulty in the face of saving his life cannot be called a difficulty.

"Xiaguan thinks that what General Zhao said is true, now that the weather is getting warmer, ordinary people only need simple houses to live in, and it is enough to leave women and children in the house to live, as long as His Highness allocates a group of men to Xiaguan, a new camp can be built in a few days." At this time, Zhou Xiang also stood up and said.

"Do you think that's possible?" The words of the two were eye-catching, and everyone couldn't stop nodding, but Zhao Hao didn't make a decision, and asked everyone's opinions again.

"Your Highness, the lower officials think it is feasible, Jiazi Town is narrow and sparsely populated, the location is remote, and the products are not abundant, although it is a good place to take refuge temporarily, but the imperial court will not stay here permanently, and it doesn't hurt to live in a simple place." Cai Wanyi expressed his attitude, but he seemed to have something to say, "Your Highness, the lower officials also have suggestions, now we have a lot of people, and we have divided into several teams, but all the departments are mixed with all kinds of people, the combat power is uneven, the orders are different, once something happens, the army will collapse, so the lower officials think that they can take this opportunity to regroup." ”

"General Cai's mention is very good, although it seems to be calm now, but the strong enemy is around, and the war may break out at any time, we can also train the team, practice martial arts diligently, and save the time when the fight starts." Zhao Mengjin responded immediately, he is also a general who leads the troops, of course he knows that with the situation of the various departments in front of him, let alone winning, he may not be able to protect himself.

"Yes, now that the military discipline of the various departments is lax, although there are no traitors and criminals, there are those who fight, steal property, and harass the local people, and they should also be strengthened and controlled, so as to prevent small losses in the future." Huang Xianyao also said that although he did not have an official position, he was born in a family of Jiangmen, and the Song army had a tradition of assisting in the management of the department on behalf of his father, so he still had some knowledge.

"Not only that, in the previous period, we fought a series of fierce battles, there were many defects in armor and weapons, and the ships were also moored in the harbor and unmanaged. As the head of a naval army, Liu Zhu's first consideration was to restore combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

"Yes, there are many volunteers in the house, although there are proofreadings on weekdays, but after all, there is a lack of them, and we should also take this opportunity to train more to improve combat effectiveness." Zhang Zizhen said that in the battle of the escort, he deeply realized that the Zong Yong led by him was not afraid of life and death in the battle, and moved forward bravely, but he still lacked organization and training, did not understand the orders, and advanced and retreated in disorder, so that the losses were much greater than those of the officers and soldiers.

"It is precisely that it is difficult for the village army to participate in the battle without training, especially at sea, and it is more likely that ships will be destroyed and people will die." Zhao Mengjin said.

"What you have discussed is very much, then let's come up with a charter so that we can reorganize our troops, reorganize our ships, and prepare armor and weapons." Zhao Hao is very relieved that everyone has finally gotten to the point, and he can also take the first step.

"The duties of the subordinates (subordinates), please rest assured that Your Highness." Everyone stood up and saluted in unison.

"When the country is broken, you will give up your family to relieve the difficulties, and you will not give up in times of crisis, and this king has thanked you!" Zhao Yu bowed his hand and said.

"Your Highness is serious, we haven't thanked Your Highness for taking it in." Cai Wanyi said that they knew very well that without the maintenance of His Highness, they would have been abandoned a long time ago.

"It is our fate to be in the same boat, now this king will go first, otherwise Master Yuan Miao will be angry, and the rest of the things will be for you!" Zhao Yu jumped off the chair and grimaced at everyone.

"Congratulations to Your Highness!" Everyone smiled heartily and said again, now the prince is being forced to practice martial arts by Master Yuan Miao, it is said to be very strict, it seems that the prince is really afraid, but his heart is very steady, no matter how smart the prince is, after all, he is also a child, he doesn't need to go to great lengths to figure out what he wants, just do good things.

Zhao Yu also saw everyone's banter, and looked embarrassed but gave him a secret thumbs up when he passed by Hao Yuntong, and he also smiled at the prince. Everyone felt more interesting when they saw the prince's ashamed appearance, and couldn't help laughing, but Zheng Huchen looked at His Royal Highness's back as if he was fleeing, and his intuition told him that things were not as simple as they seemed......
