Zhu Youlang attaches great importance to the epidemic, highlighting his consistent style, that is, being steady, accurate and ruthless.

Since the outbreak of the plague, it has been repeated again, although it is related to the stubbornness of the people of Nanjing, but it is also inseparable from Zhu Cixuan's improper handling.

Zhu Cixuan is still too young and too stable, but I don't know that the more you dare to manage some people, the more you will intensify.

With the experience of epidemic prevention last time, Zhu Youlang is more handy in handling.

First of all, masks have been mass-produced, which has a great effect on epidemic prevention.

Zhu Youlang ordered to distribute masks to the people of the city for free. Even if you are not in the quarantine area, i.e., the East City and the South City, you must wear a mask at all times when you go out.

If they do not comply, they will be punished according to the violation of epidemic prevention regulations, and they will be sentenced to prison or death.

For those key quarantine houses, they must be strictly isolated, and those who dare to go out without authorization must be killed immediately.

Although Zhu Youlang is a benevolent monarch, he is also a ruthless person, and after killing chickens and monkeys last time, he never thought that there would be anyone who dared to challenge the imperial power and challenge the epidemic prevention regulations.

Then Zhu Youlang sharpened the knife to see if it was his knife that was fast or the neck of those who provoked people was hard.

Although the imperial court is not short of money now after taking Yangzhou Susong, no one will be disgusted with money.

These people go to the pole to send money, isn't Zhu Youlang sorry for them if he doesn't accept it?

Taking advantage of this epidemic to copy a wave of homes, it is not only justifiable, but also can warn those who are unruly and tell them who is the heaven of the Ming Dynasty.

If you dare to offend and provoke the sky, it will naturally be a dead end.

Of course, the hygiene habits of the people in this era are really poor.

This needs to be addressed urgently.

After two years of Zhu Youlang's efforts, the Ming army has basically formed the habit of not defecating in the open air.

But that's because there are requirements for military discipline and military regulations.

But for ordinary people, there is no such constraint.

Relying solely on the persuasion of the imperial court and the government will not have much effect. After thinking about it, it is still necessary to legislate, and only by writing these into the Daming Law will the people be jealous in their hearts.

A thousand miles of collapse begins in the anthill.

These small details may seem unimportant, but if you don't pay attention to them, the cumulative result is terrible.

Daming's momentum is very good now, and Zhu Youlang doesn't want to fall short because of the epidemic.

...

...

About two days later, the Ming army took control of the entire city of Nanjing.

Wherever there is an epidemic, a seal has been affixed, and any form of going out is strictly prohibited.

However, there have been more than a dozen times when large families have made trouble, and they were immediately stopped by Jinyiwei and Hubenjun. The troublemakers were sent to prison for crimes, and for a time the wealthy families in the city trembled, and the fear of being dominated by His Majesty the Emperor returned.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very soft, but His Majesty the Emperor is not soft.

Those rich children who stirred up trouble were all beheaded, and their heads were hung on the city wall of Nanjing for public display.

In this way, no one dared to disobey the orders of the imperial court.

Where the house is sealed, everyone honestly stays at home and quarantines.

Anyway, someone will bring them water and food on time, and since they can't starve to death, they will be honestly isolated.

Zhu Youlang also attached great importance to the disposal of the corpses of people who died due to the plague.

In the past, things were usually buried deeply. But Zhu Youlang decreed that he must be cremated.

Only high temperatures can completely kill the virus and prevent future problems.

The plague is a virulent infectious disease that is highly transmissible, and deep burial may not be able to completely suppress the spread of the virus.

In this era, epidemic prevention mainly depends on mobilization and execution. Once it spreads, it's basically a lack of art.

Zhu Youlang wrote an epidemic prevention manual, requiring officials to study it all, and the people should also give them science popularization.

Prevention is the best policy.

In general, it is better to have an outbreak now than in winter. If there is a plague outbreak in winter, it will be easier for the virus to survive, but it will be difficult to eradicate it.

But now that we are at the turn of summer and autumn, as long as we can sacrifice a part of the economy ruthlessly, we will definitely be able to extinguish the epidemic.

Any large-scale gatherings were forbidden.

In order to lead by example, Zhu Youlang also canceled the court meeting.

This kind of thing was originally a formality, and Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Wanli were not in the court for more than ten years, just like the government could operate normally.

As long as you read the recitals on time, review the recitals, and know the government by heart, the world will not be chaotic.

What's more, Zhu Youlang does not plan not to go to court for a long time. It's just that large gatherings were avoided during the pandemic.

Wait until the epidemic passes, and then resume the early dynasty.

During the epidemic, Zhu Youlang will separately summon some important ministers to discuss national policies, and if necessary, may hold some small-scale meetings of less than 10 people.

There is a way to go up and down, the Son of Heaven leads by example, and there is no reason for others to gather people to make trouble.

Just when the epidemic prevention work was steadily advancing, there was a sudden thunderbolt from the sky.

Wen Anzhi fell ill.

In Zhu Youlang's impression, Wen Anzhi's body has always been very tough.

Although he is already in his seventies, Wen Anzhi is actually in good health, and he rarely suffers from diseases such as wind and cold.

This time he fell ill suddenly, and according to the family, the condition was very fierce, and he asked Lang Zhong for diagnosis and treatment, and it turned out to be a direct preparation for the future.

This made Zhu Youlang unacceptable for a while.

Wen Anzhi is very important to him, and such an important minister should see the day when the Ming Dynasty is prosperous.

Zhu Youlang ignored the danger and immediately took the imperial doctor and the prince to visit Wen'an's mansion.

The attendants led by Han Miao naturally tried their best to dissuade them.

The reason is nothing more than that the Son of Heaven is the body of a daughter, and he cannot easily take risks.

Now that the elder of Wenge can't rule out being infected with the plague, wouldn't it be a nightmare for the Ming Dynasty if he was infected with the Son of Heaven?

But Zhu Youlang did not think that Wen Anzhi would be infected with the plague.

The reason is also very simple, first of all, Wen Anzhi has been in the palace for the past few days, and he has been in close contact with the prince.

If Wen Anzhi was infected with the plague, then the prince must have been infected as well.

The prince is infected, and Zhu Youlang will naturally not be spared.

And Zhu Youlang and Zhu Cixuan have nothing to do now, which proves that Wen Anzhi's disease is not contagious.

At this time, if Zhu Youlang didn't go to visit in person, he would inevitably seem a little ruthless.

Zhu Youlang repeatedly insisted that Han Miao was naturally not good at persuasion, so he had to order someone to prepare for the car, and Jin Yiwei and Hu Benjun opened the way to escort him.

Wen Anzhi's mansion was not far from the imperial city, and it took less than a stick of incense to reach the outside of Wen's mansion.

Zhu Youlang hurriedly got out of the car, and Han Miao hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The housekeeper of the Wen family opened the door and saw that it was the Son of Heaven, and the whole person was stupid.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

He fell to his knees and cried: "My lord, he's dying." ”

Although Zhu Youlang had been prepared in his heart, he was still a little difficult to accept when he really heard this sentence.

"Quick, let me take a look. Let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat Wen Qing, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”
