Chapter 136: The Plague Is Coming Personally

Suo Ji looked at the situation around and felt that the situation was not too good, according to the inspector Zhang Bingyi, the number of people had increased to several hundred, and it was very likely that there were still people who had not been found to be sick.

"The epidemic is menacing, and there were not many of them last night. Weichen has already sent people to send letters to the thirteen states along the river, especially Lizhou, asking them to tighten their vigilance, and most of these people have passed through Lizhou. ”

Suo Ji rubbed his jade wrench, leaving the state, now that Su Yuanjun and Su Fengyi are there, they must have also discovered the epidemic. I don't know how Su Fengyi is doing now?

"Then send someone to leave the state to pass on the palace edict, the Shang capital group is troubled by the people, disobey the court, the mastermind behind it has not been found out, in order to prevent mistakes, this important matter of the court must not be relaxed. The prince Wei led Su Fengyi to escort the important prisoners of the Shangdu regiment to return to Beijing immediately without delay. ”

Zhang Bingyi said with an embarrassed face: "Your Highness, just now the imperial court came to His Majesty's will, the epidemic matter was dispatched by King Yong'an, and Weichen heard the news that King Yong'an wanted to let Su Shangshu and his son manage the epidemic in Lizhou and settle the displaced people." Although the matter of escorting the Shangdu group back to Beijing is important, it is not as good as the people of Limin, so they are still leaving the state for the time being. ”

King Yong'an?

Suo Ji sneered in his heart, he is really good at finding an opportunity, so it is a question of whether the Shangdu Group can return to the capital, let alone to talk about the relationship between the Shangdu Group and the King of Yong'an.

Thinking about it this way, this epidemic is inevitably too strange.

"Your Highness, King Yong'an has just sent someone to send some supplies, but the medicinal materials and food are pitiful, I am afraid that there will not be enough for the homeless people here to drink porridge for three days." Yu Shen frowned and reported.

Zhang Bingyi gritted his teeth and reprimanded, "What time is it now?" There are hundreds of displaced people here who have contracted the epidemic, and there are thousands of people who are old, weak, sick and disabled, even if the capital can't allocate half a month's food, at least it has to allocate enough medicinal materials, right? If not, then how can these patients be cured, and the situation is not even more serious. ”

Suo Ji is well aware of the national grain stockpile, regardless of the medicinal materials, the grain will definitely not be able to dispatch only three days' amount. I am afraid that King Yong'an will hoard more grain for emergencies, but in this way, it will cause the market price to rise wildly.

"Your Highness, please also allow Weichen to enter the palace and clarify this matter with Your Majesty."

"Since you have already said that the matter of the epidemic is the responsibility of King Yong'an, it proves that it is useless for you to see Your Majesty. Do what the palace said, first go to Lizhou to spread the message of the palace, let Su Fengyi escort the Shangdu group back to the capital, let Su Yuanjun be responsible for the affairs of Lizhou, and the officials of Lizhou will assist. ”

"In addition, send some of our imperial doctors here to follow, and all the towns and cities along the way, regardless of size, will post lists to recruit healers and collect medicinal herbs and food."

"Your Highness is thoughtful, so that these things can come in handy when you come to Lizhou, and the situation in Lizhou is only worse than in the capital." Zhang Bingyi said approvingly.

Yu Shen asked, "Your Highness, in this way, we need a lot of silver, and all we have here are the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court to the refugees in the capital to supply those who have received the epidemic." But there is no silver! ”

Suo Ji frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "Yu Shen, you take the token of the palace to the East Palace Guard, and call the steward here." ”

Yu Shen hurriedly led the order out, and only Suo Ji and Zhang Bingyi were left in the makeshift camp tent.

"Now we have limited silver here, most of them still have to go to the state side first, and act in a hurry, telling the guards and imperial doctors below that they will work hard, and there will be a heavy reward for going to the palace."

"Whatever His Highness says, it is for the court, and these are all matters within the scope of the matter. What's more, His Highness is still here to fight side by side with us, His Highness has never disliked hardships, so we naturally don't dare. ”

"At the moment, we still have to pay more attention, it is a good way to separate the sick and those who are not sick, but this palace found that some mild and seriously ill people are together today, which will affect the overall probability of disease, and this palace recommends that the mild and serious patients be separated, and there is a better chance of cure."

"Wechen will do it."

"In addition, Inspector Zhang, let the refugees who are in good health go to the other side of the fire to help, which can also reduce some manpower."

Listening to Suo Ji's arrangement, Zhang Bingyi saluted and said, "Obey Your Highness's orders." ”

After a while, Yu Shen came over with Fang Cun, but he didn't see Suo Halberd in the tent. Yu Shen hurriedly inquired, and found him in a simple makeshift shed.

At this time, Suo Ji changed into a Confucian, simple and concise, like a scholar, and the jade crown on his head was replaced by a hairband hanging behind his head, covering his mouth and nose. If Yu Shen hadn't asked others, he really wouldn't have recognized that this was the prince of the East Palace.

"Coming back?" Suo Ji is holding a bowl and feeding medicine to a seriously ill person.

Yu Shen hurriedly took it, "Palace...... Childe should go and talk to the steward of the East Palace Guard, this slave is busy. ”

"Be careful, put on a veil to cover yourself, and don't touch the rash on their body." In addition, before leaving, he told all the tens of thousands of medicines on the table who belonged to them, who had drunk the medicine and slept for a long time, what they were going to do after a few hours, who had not drunk porridge, and so on.

The two of them came to a secluded place on the side, bowed to the halberd, and then asked why they had summoned them.

Suo Ji asked, "Before you left, you Wei Shui could explain how the money allocated by His Majesty was used?" ”

Fang Cun hurriedly replied: "Let me survive, and I can't make my own decisions without his orders." But in fact, there is no need to explain the Wei rate, how dare we use it indiscriminately? That was the only hope for those who had dismissed the veterans, and I heard that Wei Shi was going to place them for them. ”

"Can you dial it out now?"

"Not yet."

Suo Ji lowered his eyes and rubbed his jade wrench, "Fang Cun, go to the Nine Great Battalions to secretly pass on the edict of the palace, half of this silver will be allocated for epidemic relief, and the rest will be counted out for later use." The half of the allocated, seven palaces will send people to take away from the state, along the way to collect grain and grass and medicinal materials, the remaining thirty percent in the surrounding villages to collect grain and grass, if there are medicinal material merchants, according to the list of collection. ”

Fang Cun took the list of medicinal materials, "Your Highness, there is still something for your subordinates to ask for, Wei Shu is going to assist in the epidemic in Lizhou?" ”

"How do you know?"

"Today, Donggong Wei got the news that King Yong'an is responsible for dispatching the epidemic relief, if this is the case, he definitely doesn't want Wei Shu and the Shangdu Tuan to return to Beijing, this is a good opportunity. It's just that in this way, Wei Yu's situation is very dangerous. King Yong'an's grain and grass are not much to supply to the capital, let alone the emperor of Shangao, who is far away from the state? ”

Suo Ji was quite satisfied with Donggong Wei's well-informed news in his heart, and his analysis was similar to Fang Cun. King Yong'an will do a good job on the surface, but not very quickly at first, otherwise how can he show the danger of this epidemic and his merits? If this is the case, it is difficult for him and Su Fengyi to stand alone at the moment.

There are still so few supplies from the capital, let alone the stormy departure.

"You're smart, but the palace has already sent someone to pass on the message, asking Wei to escort the Shangdu group back to Beijing as soon as possible."
