In the face of such a serious situation, Yinggao's entrustment was also very simple, and he gave Lu Jia several very clear instructions: the sick should be isolated immediately, and they should be isolated one by one, and they could not be detained together; Moreover, it is necessary to immediately find the source of the plague this time, only when the source is found, can we know where the epidemic is the most serious, otherwise even if the back place is well controlled, it will still spread far away, unless the people near the source die, if it is really like that, the large land of the Mauryan Dynasty will be completely finished, and the land of no one, Daqin and Xiongnu will be of no use at all.

In addition, there is one last requirement, that is, because of the people who died because of this epidemic, the corpses cannot be buried, let alone exposed, but must be incinerated, and Yinggao specially told Lu Jia that the incineration of the corpse is the most important point, if the corpse of the dead is not incinerated, everything before is in vain.

Of course, in addition, Yinggao also encouraged Lu Jia to live well, and assured Lu Jia that no matter what happened in Lu Jia's hands and how many people died, Yinggao would not blame him, and he would be firmly in charge of the territory of the Peacock Dynasty.

Lu Jia knew that Ying Gao's requests were easy to handle, but the incineration of the corpse really made him a little difficult.

At present, although the epidemic has been spreading on the Mauryan Empire for a while, because his city has long been blocked, the number of sick people is also rising, but it has not yet reached the level where the corpse can be disposed of at will.

Once the corpse is incinerated suddenly, the people of the Peacock Empire, who are still quite different from Great Qin in terms of language and beliefs, will almost form a great opposition in the hearts of them.

After thinking about it, Lu Jia made a decision and directly informed Meng Tian of this decision.

"What? You're going to the city where the plague first discovered? That's a must-have thing, the city has been completely blocked, even if all the people in the city are dead, you can't go over, once you have a problem, who will the king send? ”

War kills people, and such an epidemic also kills people, Meng Tian has seen this matter quite thoroughly, but he obviously didn't realize how far the plague could develop this time.

In his opinion, if Lu Jia went like this, if he died there in the end, it would be a very big loss for Daqin, even greater than the loss of this epidemic itself.

"No, this epidemic is different, from the seaside of the Mauryan Empire to the distant city, the spread is really too wide, I must go there in person, otherwise I will not be able to fulfill the requirements in the king's letter."

As he spoke, Lu Jia gave Yinggao's letter to Meng Tian, and after Meng Tian read it, he naturally stopped speaking, because in the letter, he saw how much Yinggao attached importance to this epidemic, and it could arouse Yinggao's strong attention, it was obviously not a matter that could be handled simply, Yinggao made it clear in the letter, once this matter was not handled in time, it was very likely to spread to Hua's City, and even to the Western Regions, although Yinggao did not continue to say, but they could all guess, and then spread to Daqin.

"After I leave, the general will deal with all the affairs in this Hua City, no matter what happens to me in that city, I must inform the king as soon as possible, and wait for the king's instructions."

Of course, Lu Jia knew that although Meng Tian's prestige in the territory of Great Qin was very high, it was just because he led troops to fight and really managed internal affairs, Meng Tian actually didn't know anything, so let him guard in Hua's City, in fact, it was just to play some deterrent role, if he was really damaged in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty because of this epidemic, then he still had to inform Yinggao as soon as possible, and then send a capable person over.

"Good! You can do this with confidence, you don't have to worry about other matters, but once you can't do anything, return to Hua's City, don't be reckless, if you are damaged in the Peacock Dynasty, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the king to find a suitable person to send here to replace you. ”

Meng Tian is a straight man, he won't say anything nice, but this sentence is the truth, before he came over, he knew that Yinggao was very difficult to choose in managing the people of the Peacock Dynasty, and Lu Jia was definitely a very rare talent in his heart.

Lu Jia is not only innovative, but also a practical person, since he has decided to go to the hard-hit area to carry out the incineration of corpses, of course, he also wants to find out the source of this epidemic in person.

After discussing with Meng Tian, Lu Jia set off from Fahrenheit City with a small team of his own guards and rode his horse to the city where the epidemic was most severe.

When Lu Jia arrived, the officials in the city were already anxious like ants on a hot pot, although the city was blocked, but seeing that there were almost new people every day, his heart was about to collapse, and he had a feeling that he would become one of those people sooner or later.

"This ...... How did the gentleman get here, there are so many sick people in this city, it is better to ......"

"Without further ado, this is an edict written by the king himself on this matter, you can take a look at it first, if you can't do it, I will do it myself!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Jia directly threw Yinggao's letter to the official, and after the official read it, he really felt a little embarrassed as Lu Jia imagined.

"Sir, this matter of incinerating the corpse, because most of the dead are the people of the Peacock Dynasty, and they are already very anxious because of this matter, my Great Qin does not have any good way, once the corpse is incinerated again, I am afraid that they will be a little unacceptable."

"This is the way to solve this matter, and it is the edict of the king himself, and the matter is urgent, although the treatment of the people of the Peacock Dynasty and the people of my Great Qin should be the same here, but even if there is such an epidemic in the territory of my Great Qin, the king will also order the incineration of the corpses, you will inform the people in the city of this matter today, and after an hour, all the corpses buried before must be dug up and incinerated! Nowadays, newly ill people are immediately isolated separately once they are sick, and if they die, they are incinerated immediately! ”

Lu Jia's words, that tone did not allow for the slightest question, of course, his heart was also very nervous, the blockade of the city had made many people of the Peacock Dynasty already dissatisfied, if there was something else because of the incineration of the corpse, this city would not know what kind of chaos would become.

But it is just like what he said before, in a hurry, I don't know how many more people will die every day that this epidemic is delayed, so even if he sacrifices the entire city, Lu Jia has to do it.

Lu Jia came over in person, but it gave a lot of hope to the officials who were almost doing nothing in the city before and waiting for death, he held the letter signed by Yinggao himself, and his psychological face was like a big flame burning, and he said in his heart that the king had spoken, and Lu Jia was also in place, what else was there to fear.

At that time, he gathered all the words in the city that could understand some of the language of the Mauryan Empire, informed them of the contents of this letter, and bluntly said that this matter was personally instructed by the emperor of Great Qin, and it was to eliminate the epidemic from the territory of the Mauryan Empire as soon as possible, without any other meaning. Let them tell all the Mauryan people in the city about this within an hour.

After hearing about this at first, the people of the Mauryan Empire were really full of discussions, and they were very opposed to the matter of taking out the buried corpses and burning them, because many of them were relatives of people who were still alive.

The Peacock Dynasty is different from Great Qin, in this era, religion has appeared in their country, in other words, the vast majority of the people of the Peacock Dynasty have their own beliefs, and the corpses of their own family members are still very important in their culture, and they will be burned after an hour, which is definitely an unacceptable thing for them.

The first round of news spread, and the feedback Lu Jia got was very simple, that is, once this thing was really done after an hour, many people of the Peacock Dynasty in the city were likely to launch some riots and the like. Because after getting the news, many people have gathered in the streets, and it is clear that once the incineration of the corpses begins, they will do something.

"Go, take me down the street!"

Although Yinggao also gave Lu Jia the right to act cheaply, even if he killed all the people of the Peacock Dynasty in the city today, Yinggao would not blame him, but Lu Jia didn't think so in his heart, the reason why he personally went out was to solve the problem here, and if this matter was not solved, he would naturally not give up in his heart.

"This can't be helped, now the streets are all the outcasts of the Peacock Dynasty, once Mr. is infected with a disease, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"No, I'm here for this purpose, you find a few people who are proficient in the language of the Mauryan Empire, and go with me."

Lu Jia's strength was still quite large, and it didn't take long for him to appear in a clearing not far from the people of the Peacock Dynasty who had gathered together, next to his guards.

"Tell them that I am the highest-ranking official in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty personally appointed by the Emperor of Great Qin, and I can make decisions on all matters in the Peacock Dynasty, including killing all the people who are making trouble today, but I will not do this, burning the corpses, but to save the lives of the living, if this matter cannot be resolved, I will die with them in this city!"

"Huh? This...... This ......"

As soon as the few readers who acted as translators heard this, they couldn't even speak, for the sake of a city of the Peacock Dynasty, if a character like Lu Jia was put on board, it would not be a good thing.

"Say it as it is!"

Under Lu Jia's serious urging, finally, a relatively upright scholar began to introduce Lu Jia to the people of the Peacock Dynasty not far in front of them.

Lu Jia naturally couldn't wait here, he couldn't understand the language of the Peacock Dynasty, and he didn't know what kind of role his words could play, so he could only rely on the expressions and movements of the people in front of him to make some guesses.

Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of many people, he finally bit his silver teeth and said to the officials behind him: "Go, according to the time I set before, we will incinerate all those corpses!" ”

"Sir, what should we do if there is an upheaval among the people?"

"I'll deal with this here, you can incinerate it!"

The sky is falling, there is a big head on the top, this sentence is undoubtedly quite appropriate at this time, the official saw that the big guy had spoken, and he didn't say a word, and went directly to the place where the body was burned.

It didn't take long for a sudden smoke to rise from a spot on the edge of the city, apparently from the exhumation of previously buried corpses.

Looking at the people of the Peacock Dynasty in front of him, Lu Jia's heart beat quite hard, once such a move caused these people to break out in turmoil, he had to use violent means to solve this matter, if such news spread, it would not have any good results for the entire Great Qin, but no matter what, it was all a later story, what he had to do now was to strictly follow Yinggao's words to carry it out, and the future could only be said later.

Time passed little by little, Lu Jia has been standing there straight, staring at the crowd in front of him, he saw the angry eyes in the crowd, but also saw a trace of trust and hope, in the end, when the smoke dissipated, the riot he was worried about did not happen, the people of the Peacock Dynasty who gathered did not know when they began to leave in twos and threes, indeed, in the face of this terrible epidemic, they no longer had the heart to make any riots.

Lu Jia stayed for several days in the city under his control, where the epidemic was the most serious, and during these days, he had let the officials here closely monitor the number of newly ill cases and deaths, but fortunately, after a few days of incineration of those corpses, the number of sick and dead people gradually began to stabilize, and decreased a little.
