The location of the sewage outlet in Dunhuang County is near a slum in the city, which is an inconspicuous place in Dunhuang County. Not to mention the princes and nobles, even those who live in the slums will never approach this place unless they are forced to do so. But in this slum there is a dilapidated straw hut that looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, and its previous owner was an old man. A few years ago, when Yang Guang levied and distributed the grain and grass of the soldiers of various county governments and weapons to the east to conquer Goguryeo, it led to a rapid rise in grain prices in various places. The elderly man was found starving to death on the streets shortly after the price of food rose. Since then, no one has cared for this hut, and no one has ever lived here again. Because the environment is too bad, even the beggars begging on the street are not willing to set foot here, after all, the domestic sewage of the entire Dunhuang county is discharged out of the city through here, and the smell is really stinky.

Although Li Wenyuan has promoted various welfare policies that benefit the people under his rule, and provided great convenience and benefits to the common people, not everyone will choose to trust the government unconditionally, these people have been enslaved for too long, and their character has formed a servile nature, in their eyes, it is normal for the government to beat and scold them at will, on the contrary, if the people of the government greet them with a smile and are polite, they are completely unacceptable, and always think that the government must have some conspiracy to do this. How could the government give food for no reason? Are they going to die tomorrow? Will this be the last severed meal? So the standard of living of these people is getting bigger and bigger with other people who have received benefits from the government.

Li Wenyuan did not have a very good response to this, and he could not forcibly move those who did not accept government benefits out of the slums. If they are forced to move out, what difference will it be from the forced demolitions that often appear in the news in later generations? Although there are only benefits and no disadvantages to them, everything can be interpreted from countless angles, and what is good in their own eyes will not be a bad thing in their eyes. Li Wenyuan naturally would not do such a thankless thing, but this does not mean that Li Wenyuan directly gave up on these people. After all, they are also the people of Huaxia, and they also have the possibility of giving birth to countless geniuses in their genes. Therefore, although these people were reluctant to leave the slum settlements, Li Wenyuan still focused on arranging for people from various local governments to go to the slums on time every day to carry out disinfection and sterilization work, at least to ensure that the plague would not break out from here.

Although Li Wenyuan has set up relevant courses, he has also invited many famous Chinese medicine experts. But there is no effective cure for each sudden plague. After all, traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine in later generations, and has always focused on recuperation and prevention, rather than the arbitrary treatment of headaches and foot pains in Western medicine.

As for the relief food for these recalcitrant people, it is distributed to them every day in the form of porridge. They are all poor and accustomed people, and it is far more acceptable to give them a bowl of porridge at a fixed time every day than to give them food directly. After all, there are indeed some families in the slums who don't even have a pot for cooking, so how can they eat food if they are given food?

Moreover, these people are very resistant to the government, and in their eyes, every time the people of the government appear in front of them, they want to drive them away and arrest them. For them, every time the government appears, it represents the arrival of a bad thing. Therefore, Li Wenyuan simply did not send corresponding personnel to the slums, but instead conducted a patrol every day at noon, and after the inspection was completed, he did not care about anything. The main part of the inspection is to disinfect and sterilize the slums along the way, and at the same time observe whether there are fire hazards in the slums.

This dilapidated thatched house, which was to be demolished in this year's renovation plan because there was no one to live in the dilapidated thatched hut mentioned above, was later delayed by some other things, and it has been preserved to this day. Now, because of the peculiarity of the location of this shabby grass hut, it has become an eye-catching road sign in the slums. Everyone knew that the old man who lived in the hut had died early, and he hadn't seen anyone else living in it, but apparently their information was a bit behind.

On the day after the curfew ended, after the government patrol passed at noon, the door of the broken grass hut quietly opened, and the dust on it and the straw falling on the door were scattered because of the movement of the door, and the hunched figure who pushed the door out of the house choked and coughed uncontrollably.

The hunchbacked figure carefully closed the door after exiting the shabby hut. The whole movement is very slow and cautious, as if the grass hut will be toppled with a little force. The weather is not very hot at this time, and it is the busiest time for people to come and go in the slums. Almost every day at this time, the people in the slums have already gotten up and gone out, and those who should go to the streets to beg go to the streets to beg, and those who should go to sell coolies for others to sell coolies, everyone has their own things to do. Although some people saw someone coming out of this long time ownerless thatched hut, to say more was to be curious and to look twice, and no one paid attention to it. After all, the family can't open the pot anymore, and even tomorrow's breakfast has become a problem, who will have the leisure to care about those things that have nothing to do with them?

After the hunchbacked figure came out of the thatched hut, he went straight to the east gate of Dunhuang County. He was holding a cane in one hand, which he said was nothing more than a wooden branch that he had picked up from nowhere. In the other hand was a worn-out sea bowl covered in sludge. If one takes a closer look, they will find that this hunchbacked figure is still a little lame when he walks, and his hair is messy like a pile of weeds, which has obviously not been taken care of for some days. This person was so unkempt and slowly walked to the east gate of Dunhuang County.

If there had been a provider of gunpowder at this time, and the beggar had arrived at this time, he would have been able to recognize this person at a glance as the beggar who had bought a pack of gunpowder for a silver brick. But which beggar can take out a silver brick, this person is the spy sent by Li Shimin to Dunhuang County, this spy is also very special, he is only loyal to Li Shimin, and is only responsible for Li Shimin himself, even Li Yuan does not know his existence.
