Chapter 131: The Plague

Batu was quite embarrassed, and it took Zhao Yi a long time to figure out what Batu meant. The people who first entered Zhuo County were originally to test Zhao Yi's reality, and most of them were single men. However, there are beautiful village girls in the Han villages, and sparks will inevitably collide after a long time. A few people asked Batu to ask Zhao Yi if Wuhuan and Han could marry.

The marriage between the two sides Zhao Yi is unwanted, love is greater than hate, blood is thicker than water, and only with the bond of family affection can Wuhuan and the Han people completely eliminate the estrangement. "At the beginning, I said that I couldn't rape a girl, but I didn't say that the two parties couldn't marry, if the parents of both parties agreed, I naturally have no opinion."

These words made Batu's face full of joy, he also thought that Zhao Yi would abide by the national defense and prevent his nationality from intermarrying with the Han people, but he didn't expect Zhao Yi to agree so happily, Batu turned his head and planned to tell the good news to those young and lush Wuhuan teenagers. As soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by Zhao Yi. "General Batu, please wait a minute, I have one more condition."

The smile on Batu's face froze on his face, knowing that Zhao Yi would not agree to himself so easily, he was a little unhappy, and asked cautiously, "What are the conditions?" ”

"The customs of the Han people and the Wuhuan tribe are very different, and if the two parties are married, they must follow the customs of the Han family." The customs of the Wuhuan tribe are too strange, and those who die as brothers can marry their sister-in-law as their wives, which is simply unacceptable to the Han girls who have a strong concept of chastity.

"Han customs? What are the customs of the Han family? Batu asked.

Zhao Yi said the customs of the Han family, even if Zhao Yi had saved a lot of red tape, Batu still had a big head when he heard it. Batu scratched his head, "I'll go back and ask the subordinates before I make a calculation." ”

After Batu left, Murong Fu was a little strange, Zhao Yi originally wanted to marry with the Wuhuan tribe and control the tribe with the help of blood and family. At this time, Batu took the initiative to propose marriage, and Zhao Yi should happily agree, why stop it. "My lord, Batu took the initiative to propose a marriage, which is exactly what the lord wants, why is it blocked by customs?" In Murong Fu's view, the customs of the Han family are very different from those of the Wuhuan tribe, and it is very difficult to get used to one kind of life, and then let people adapt to another kind of life.

"The marriage of the Wuhuan tribe is like robbing relatives, how can the Han family accept it." Zhao Yi smiled bitterly. If a Wuhuan man wants to marry a girl, he will take it away first, and then bring it back after living for half a year, not to mention anything else, the Han family will not agree to this alone, the Han family pays attention to the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

Some of these Wuhuan soldiers couldn't accept this so-called Han custom, but they didn't dare to act again, and Zhao Yi didn't show mercy to the Han people who committed crimes, let alone them. They didn't want to test Zhao Yi's steel knife with their necks.

After a month, as many as 40,000 people of the Wuhuan tribe had moved inland, and nearly half of the Nanlou tribe had moved inland. As for the marriage, Batu finally compromised, and in order to reproduce the tribes, they agreed to Zhao Yi's words and said that they would do things according to the customs of the Han family.

Just after the Spring Festival, Zhao Yi came to the Wuhuan tribe again, and the wasteland a few months ago had become fertile soil at this time, and the tender green wheat seedlings were full of vitality. The people of the tribe stomped their feet back and forth with their hands in their sleeves, although their bodies were a little cold, but their hearts were hot, and these wheat seedlings represented hope.

There are more and more people, and life is stable, and the saber of the people has not been touched for two months. Ice beauty Wen Qin also had a lot of smiles on her face. That's what she wants to live with.

Batu walked out of the village with a happy face, and when he saw the quilts and food full of more than 20 carts behind Zhao Yi, his laughter was even more hearty, and he said, "My department has received the favor of Zhao Junshou many times, I'm really embarrassed." Although he said this, his movements were not slow, and with such a slight wave of his hand, a lot of Wuhuan men ran out of the village, and quickly pushed the carriage in, making Zhao Yi speechless.

"General Batu don't be embarrassed, this is a loan from this official, and it will be returned later." Zhao Yi didn't play haha with Batu, and followed Batu into the courtyard.

Batu laughed twice, didn't talk about the topic anymore, asked Zhao Yi to sit down, and talked about the Wuhuan tribe at this time, and Wen Qin poured wine for Zhao Yi enthusiastically.

A glass of hot wine in the stomach, the cold on the body suddenly disappeared a lot, and now the life of the Wuhuan people tends to be stable, especially when Zhao Yi heard that after the beginning of spring, there are still 20,000 people in the Nanlou Department who moved inland, which makes Zhao Yi very happy, and the more people come in, the more happy Zhao Yi is in his heart. After a long time, the Wuhuan tribe had feelings for this land, if someone wanted to invade the inland, without Zhao Yi's greeting, these Wuhuan soldiers would pick up their swords and fight with the enemy army that occupied the land.

Zhao Yi has a great kindness to the Wuhuan tribe, and has replaced Liu Yu's position in the hearts of these Wuhuan soldiers. Seeing Zhao Yi full of hatred before, he saw Zhao Yi full of smiles at this time. Compared to this kindness, the lives of the four thousand soldiers were much lower.

The two thousand Wuhuan soldiers in Zhao Yi's military camp were also incorporated into the Wuhuan tribe by Zhao Yi, although they did not make great contributions to Zhao Yi, but Zhao Yi still appreciated the loyalty of these people. If they surrender to Zhao Yi and immediately abandon their tribal relatives to Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi will probably be wary of them, and if they can abandon their relatives today, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not abandon Zhao Yi in the future.

When Zhao Yi left the Wuhuan tribe, snowflakes drifted in the sky, fluttering and fluttering, and the earth soon turned into a snow-white blank. Zhao Yi puffed up his cheeks and wanted to blow off the snowflakes that fell on his palms, but the snowflakes had turned into water droplets, moisturizing Zhao Yi's somewhat dry palms, warm and cool, refreshing.

The people had already returned to their warm houses, holding braziers to keep warm. The radius was silent for hundreds of miles, the birds were too lazy to come out to feed, and in the wilderness, the wind stirred the snow, and the snow wrapped in the wind, rolling up bursts of white mist.

Zhao Yi and his entourage of dozens of people marched quickly in this wilderness, the chaotic sound of horses' hooves seemed to add a touch of vitality to this silent land, and after only an hour, Zhao Yi ran into a county government officer.

The official of the county government was covered in snowflakes, and even his eyebrows were stained with white ice flowers, and when he saw Zhao Yi, he turned over and dismounted, bowed and saluted, "My lord, there is a report from the imperial court, Lord Juncheng, please go quickly." ”

"The Imperial Court?" Zhao Yi's eyes rolled, could it be that there was a rebellion? Zhao Yi's mind was lively, but he did not delay the movements of his subordinates, and drove the horses on foot.

When Zhao Yi shook the snowflakes on his body and entered the mansion, he saw Qin Chong holding a cloth in his hand, anxiously walking around the room. After getting along with Qin Chong for a long time, Zhao Yi had never seen Qin Chong so panicked, thinking that this incident must be an earth-shattering event. Walking into the house, Zhao Yi did not say a polite word to Qin Chong, and asked directly, "What happened?" ”

Qin Zhong saw Zhao Yi coming, exhaled deeply, and put the cloth in Zhao Yi's hand without anger. Qin Chong has already persuaded Zhao Yi more than once, as a county guard, he has to stay in the county town, how can he run around like a rabbit, there are important matters to discuss with Zhao Yi but no one can be found, "My lord, things in the village have become stable, you don't need to check every few days, if you really can't rest assured, you can send a county official to deal with it." If the imperial decree is delayed because of this, the future of the adult is in jeopardy. ”

What Qin Chong said was very reasonable, but there were many Wuhuan tribes in the village, how could Zhao Yi fake others. Therefore, Zhao Yi didn't pay attention to Qin Chong's admonition, but just opened the cloth with a wry smile.

There are only a few lines of text, but the more Zhao Yi looks at it, the deeper his brows are wrinkled. No wonder Qin Chong would be so panicked, it turned out that this kind of thing had happened. Since the beginning of the first month, there has been a great outbreak of plague in Sizhou, and the spread speed is very fast, in just ten days, and the same cases have been found in four prefectures and counties such as Hebei, Qing, and Jing.

"The epidemic has spread to four state capitals, and there is a tendency to spread to the north, please take precautions as soon as possible." Qin Zhong urged Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi paced back and forth in the hall, Zhao Yi did not see a case of plague, and was not sure that he could be cured. If there is no cure to save people, these patients can only be confined and left to fend for themselves. Zhao Yi beckoned to Dian Wei, "Pass my order and order the soldiers to guard the passage in and out of Zhuojun, and they are only allowed to go out but not enter." The counties under the jurisdiction of Zhuo County should also take precautions. ”

Dian Wei knew that this matter was serious, and immediately went down to prepare. This is just the stupidest way, Zhao Yi knows that the epidemic is spreading so fast, it is definitely not just because of physical contact, it should be terrible airborne transmission. Blind isolation does not work at all, it can only make the patient watch his life pass, if so, it is better to give the patient a knife and let them die a little more happily.

Dealing with airborne transmission, even modern high-tech cannot do it, let alone the level of technology is far behind the modern Three Kingdoms era.

Zhao Yi sighed and instructed Qin Chong, "Prepare medicinal materials to fight the disaster." Zhao Yi had to make two preparations. At this moment of crisis, Qin Chong knew the severity, did not dare to delay, and walked out quickly.

Zhao Yi stared at the fluttering snowflakes with deep eyes, hoping that the pure white snow falling from the sky could wash away this evil virus.

In response to the plague, the imperial court has posted a list to recruit doctors, but because the area is too large and the number of doctors is limited, it is impossible to control the development of the epidemic at all.

In Zhao Yi's eyes, the plague is more terrible than the locust plague, where the overwhelming locusts come from, although Zhao Yi does not know, but locusts can eat food, and people can also eat locusts. However, the plague is not so simple, if there is no cure for the disease, after a long time, the court is afraid that it will order all the sick people to be killed, so as to prevent the epidemic from spreading everywhere.

After spending five days with apprehension, Zhao Yi finally received the news of the epidemic in the early morning that a case had been found in a village in Fanyang County, and Cheng Yin had isolated the case and found a doctor to treat the epidemic.

Zhao Yi put the cloth on the table, "General Dian Wei, take five hundred guards and me to Fanyang County." ”
