Chapter 966

After Li Shimin's words were finished, he looked at those ministers, who were still shocked in their hearts, and didn't think about any suggestions at all.

"Father, Erchen suggested finding Yu Zhiqing's family, if there is still a family alive, it should be rewarded, and even said, knighthood can be, although opening a granary is a capital crime, but, in the eyes of Erchen, it is excusable, not to mention, if you don't open a granary, Erchen estimates that the people in Yangzhou may not even have a fraction left, in addition, Erchen suggests that Peping temporarily serve as the chief official of Yangzhou, take charge of all affairs in Yangzhou, and restore the daily life of the people of Yangzhou as soon as possible!" Li Chengqian stood up and said to Li Shimin,

Li Shimin nodded, and said to an official behind him who recorded the words: "Write it down!" ”

"Yes!" The officer in the back nodded.

"Anything else?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and asked. "Erchen is thinking of these two points now, and the rest, Pepin also said! Rong Erchen think again! Li Chengqian said.

"Good!" Li Shimin nodded, and then looked at the other ministers.

"Your Majesty, I want to investigate clearly, how many people are still in Yangzhou, you can compensate them and let them recover, for example, compensate for money and grain, and let them resume production!" Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said, Li Shimin turned his head and looked at the official who recorded behind him, and the official immediately recorded.

"Your Majesty, Yangzhou has made a huge sacrifice this time, tax exemption for five years, I think it is still a little less, after all, most of the people in Yangzhou are farming, and if those adult men in the family are dead, five years, it may not be able to make those people recover, or need to make other compensation, the minister's suggestion is to let Peping report it according to the actual situation over there, whether it is to compensate for money and food or others!" Li Daliang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, spoke.

"Well, that's fine, record!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that to find Yu Zhiqing's family, the minister means that all the officials' families, as long as they have done something for the people in Yangzhou, should find their families and let their families enjoy the compensation of the court!" Gao Shilian stood up and arched his hand and said.

"Well, that's fine!" Li Shimin still nodded.

"Yangzhou, 500,000 people, how many can be left, 500,000, one smallpox, may make my Tang Dynasty die hundreds of thousands of people, hey!" Li Shimin saw that the ministers below did not speak, so he said with emotion.

"Father, let's investigate it clearly, what we can do now is to treat them!" Li Chengqian was also very sad and said to Li Shimin.

"Fang servant shooting, you go to draw up the holy decree, write out the suggestions you just made, as well as Peping's suggestions, and send them to Yangzhou, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will immediately send 100,000 yuan to go down, and 300,000 quintals of food will also be mobilized, and send it over immediately, all of which will be handed over to Peping.

At the same time, tell Peping to find out as quickly as possible, how many people are still in Yangzhou, how many people have died, how many adult men have died in the family, no one is working, how many households are extinct, quickly find out all the affairs in Yangzhou, for the situation in Yangzhou, in the past half a month, I asked for a daily report! Li Shimin sat there and spoke.

"Yes!" Fang Xuanling immediately arched his hand and said.

"How to carry out the follow-up work in Yangzhou, you six departments must come up with the charter, of course, I will also ask Peping for a way, but your six departments will definitely need to cooperate at that time, in addition, the ministry here, select officials as soon as possible, well, this time Yangzhou as an official, in principle, the age cannot exceed thirty years old, at the same time, the style must be decent, the act must be steady, do not send the gentlemen over, otherwise, I know, but I will be severely punished!" Li Shimin looked at Liu Xun as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, is this too young?" When Liu Xun heard it, he couldn't be more than thirty years old, Yangzhou Mansion Yin, the position of Zheng Liupin, who was under thirty years old, served as Mansion Yin, and Yangzhou Mansion Yin, he thought it was a little too young!

"We must train more young officials, young officials, before they dare to do things, Yangzhou is like this, it is necessary for officials to do something for the people!" Li Shimin said to Liu Xun.

"Yes!" Liu Xun nodded and said.

"Alright, you guys go about your business, Gao Ming stays!" Li Shimin waved his hand at the ministers and said, after the ministers said goodbye to Li Shimin, they left, leaving Li Chengqian alone to follow Li Shimin to the window and look at the situation outside.

"Yangzhou smallpox this time, but hundreds of thousands of people will die, hundreds of thousands! If it weren't for Pepin, I don't know how many would have died! Li Shimin sat down and said with a sigh.

"Yes, father, so, this time Peping's contribution is very great, and according to Peping, in the future, we Datang will not have to worry about smallpox, it is possible that ten years later, Datang will have no smallpox!" Li Chengqian nodded at Li Shimin and said.

"I hope so, Peping's credit is indeed very great, the matter over there in Yangzhou, just hand it over to Peping first, my father estimates, Peping has no two months, there will definitely be no way to leave for Chang'an, in addition, the officials sent to Yangzhou, you also check and personally select some, so that after they arrive in Yangzhou, they can seek well-being for those people!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian, who stood behind and nodded.

"Hundreds of thousands of people, there were not so many people who died in Goguryeo before, and when a smallpox came, so many people died, this is a huge disaster for our Datang, the medical school, we must pay attention to it, we must pay attention to it!" Li Shimin sat there and continued to explain to Li Chengqian.

"Yes, don't worry, my son now attaches great importance to the medical school and the Polytechnic University!" Li Chengqian nodded again and said.

"Well, sit with my father, sit for a while, in addition, my father is going to go out to the temple tomorrow to pray for the people of Yangzhou, so many people! The affairs of Chang'an will be handed over to you, and the affairs of Yangzhou will be sent to the temple, and other things will not be sent over! Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"Ah, Father, are you going to the temple?" Li Chengqian heard it and looked at him in shock.

"Well, I haven't been there for many years, so many innocent people died this time, my father is responsible!" Li Shimin nodded and said, his tone began to be calm.

"Okay, don't worry, father, once there is something in Yangzhou, the son will send it to you as soon as possible." Li Chengqian immediately nodded and said.

"By the way, about the recital written by Peping today, let the Datang Daily publish all of it, so that the people of the world know how great the sacrifice is in Yangzhou, they are hiding in their own homes, and so many people have died, which is worthy of the gratitude of the people!" Li Shimin reminded Li Chengqian and said. "Yes, I'll do it later!" Li Chengqian nodded.

"Find a place to sit yourself, hundreds of thousands of people!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian,

When Li Chengqian heard it, he could only find a place to sit down, and here in Yangzhou, at this moment, Qin Huaidao was still directing those people from the medical school to treat those people, and began to release them to various places, these days, the effect is still good, and the data reported from various places also made Qin Huaidao very surprised,

Although there are not many people in each county, but in the countryside, there are still a large number of people, and even in some villages, no one is infected, which makes Qin Huaidao very pleased, and he also knows that in this era, the power in the family is also very large, if a village is a surname, and the patriarch says to seal the village, then the entire villager will strictly enforce it, and will not let outsiders come in, nor will they let the people of the village go out, which is also very helpful for controlling the smallpox epidemic.

"Okay, okay, let the people below do a good job, I need to know, how many people are alive and how many dead people are here in Yangzhou, you must find out for me!" Qin Huaidao said to the major beside him, the major nodded, and immediately went to do it,

A few days later, Li Shimin's holy decree also arrived, but at this time, the epidemic situation in Yangzhou was basically controlled, and those who were infected were treated, and those who were not infected were now also injected with the vaccinia vaccine, and they were no longer afraid, and at the same time, Qin Huaidao sent students to several other prefectures, and they went over with the vaccine.

"It's not bad, there are more than 300,000 people, that is to say, 200,000 people died, and more than half remained, okay, good!" Qin Huaidao looked at the current statistics and said with great satisfaction,

Originally, he thought that it would be good to be able to leave a third of it, but he didn't expect that he would be able to leave more than half of it, and many villagers heard that they had hidden in the mountains, and if they could come out alive, they would be able to increase the population by a lot.

"Grandpa Guo, the court outside sent a few officials over, and they came to report first, mainly the governors and county orders of various prefectures, which are now outside the door, and they have also brought a lot of supplies!" On this day, Qin Huaidao had just finished his busy work when he heard a report from a personal guard beside him.

"Oh, let them in!" Qin Huaidao nodded, and soon, those officials outside came in.

"Have you vaccinated them?" Qin Huaidao looked at the people around him and asked.

"Grandpa back to China, I have been injected, we have just entered the territory of Yangzhou, and we have been injected, including our family, we have already been injected!" A young official said to Qin Huaidao.

"Well, it's so familiar!" Qin Huaidao looked at the young man and asked with a smile.
