"Two days ago, I felt that something was wrong, and I always felt that the Fang Lajun against me was weak."

As soon as he talked about the war, Han Yanzhang immediately put away his playful expression, "In the early hours of yesterday morning, I led my troops to the southeast and went directly to the gate of Wufu Camp. ”

Wu Fu didn't have the slightest intention of going to war, but the camp was really good, and the Fang La army on the wall was ready to fight. I didn't rush into the army, but let the scouts check in private, guarding against ambushes and surprise attacks. ”

"There are two military players who are not afraid of death, close to the Wufu camp, and see the southwest corner of the camp in chaos...... Fang Lajun is actually killing his own people! ”

Han Yanzhang didn't say more, he was sure that Mr. Zi'an and Li Xiang would definitely understand what was going on in the Wufu camp.

Sure enough, Mr. Zi'an let out a long sigh, "Cause and effect cycle." The Yongle puppet dynasty created 700,000 hungry people, and now that the epidemic is raging, the pace of Fang Lajun's army has also been delayed. ”

Li Xiang was very indignant in his heart, but he vaguely knew that the practices of the official army were not much better than Wu Fu's, "There is an epidemic in Wu Fu's department, no wonder there will be a truce." The dynasty can organize epidemic prevention, the sergeants can be treated, and if they can't do it, they can temporarily retreat, and the Fang La army will not touch the three things. ”

Ten days ago, the panic caused by the epidemic reached its peak, and the gentry, the common people and the hungry people west of Taihu Lake changed their colors. The businessmen withdrew, and the officers and soldiers were waiting for them, which was really a rumor.

Now that the epidemic has been initially brought under control, there has been no news of a large number of infections in the past three days.

As soon as Li Xiang learned of the epidemic, he wrote an emergency report on what he knew, as well as the epidemic prevention knowledge that Liu Zhihe and other famous doctors had sorted out throughout his life, and reported it to Han Shizhong, who was in Jiankang, through fast horses and fast boats.

Li Xiang, the controller of Mingyuezhuang, most of the epidemic prevention knowledge handed over by this folk hero is actually rooted in medical books that have been circulated for thousands of years.

I have to say that there are some great strengths, that is, the detailed description of the epidemic prevention process, and the various regulations that are dense and strict to the extreme.

In the emergency report, Li Xiang mainly put forward seven suggestions:

Full isolation. Separate the hungry people from their places of origin, carry out comprehensive control, and prohibit free movement;

Lime disinfection. Whether it is a common man, a hungry person, or a sergeant, the whole body should be washed and then soaked in lime water to sterilize it;

Cooking and filtration. You can't drink raw water, you can't eat any raw food, and your clothes should be steamed several times;

Face shields. This is not a problem for the gentry and wealthy merchants, and the sergeants above the captain are no problem, and the others can only ask for more blessings for the time being;

Disinfect spirits. The distillation process has appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than 100 years, and has been kept secret by the government-run distillery and several major clans before, and now it has been announced by Li Xiang;

Outward population. There was a law in the Great Zhou that whenever there was a great epidemic in one place, all the people would be moved to other places;

Cash-for-work. The war in Jiangnan was urgent, and it was best to choose from the hungry people who were not infected with the disease to repair bridges, canals, transport supplies, and build equipment.

"In just over ten days, the epidemic in key places has been suppressed, and the possibility of plague has been greatly reduced, which is a great merit."

Mr. Zi'an's eyes were full of appreciation, and he pestle the ground with his cane, and said in an impassioned tone.

With the praise of Mr. Zi'an and Han Yanzhang on his face, Li Xiang's inner feelings were extremely complicated.

The distillation process has undoubtedly offended many big families and firms.

Although there is not much market for distilled high-grade liquor, the core secrets of the government and many big clans require the distillation process, which is the bottom of the box for many famous liquors in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Li Xiang announced the principle of distillation, and threw out the distillation device that has been developed in the back mountain of Mingyuezhuang for more than two years and has been relatively mature, can it not attract hatred?

Not only a few powerful clans and merchants, but Li Xiang also intervened with the envoys of transport, pacification, salt and iron, and officials of the prefecture and county.

Controlling the epidemic and providing relief to the hungry should have been the ministry of the officials of the Great Zhou.

Li Xiang introduced the people to be arrogant, and he just put his beak in vain, and also printed and distributed "Ten Policies for Epidemic Prevention", "Ten Taboos", and "Double Ten Details" everywhere...... The key is that the effect is still so good, how incompetent the government is to deliberately set off, right?

With the reminders of Mr. Zi'an, Han Yanzhang and even Han Shizhong, Li Xiang certainly knew that he had offended many people.

But Li Xiang has no regrets.

He has a better way to save more lives, but does he have to watch thousands of people die? Give him another ten chances, and he will still spread the knowledge of distillation technology and epidemic prevention.

Li Xiang is also dissatisfied with the efficiency of the government's actions in controlling the epidemic.

Masks, face shields, spirits and other things, most of the hungry people, civilians and sergeants do not have, but in the Great Zhou, especially in the current Jiangnan, these materials are indeed very expensive, Li Xiang can only sigh in his heart.

In terms of cooking filtration and lime disinfection, many places are very perfunctory, and Li Xiang is very dissatisfied.

In some places, it is not impossible to organize hungry people and ordinary people to mine and quarry in order to get coal and lime to control the epidemic, but no one has to do it, so they have to buy materials from Jiangbei at a high price.

If you want to say that there is no greasy in this, Li Xiang didn't believe it.

As for the large amount of herbs needed to heal the sick, Li Xiang could only bring more merchants into Jiangnan to suppress prices, and more could not be done.

Every human life has weight, which is almost the final bottom line in Li Xiang's heart. If he can't even keep this point, Li Xiang doesn't know what he will become, maybe he will go crazy, right?

Li Xiang suddenly thought of something, endured the palpitations in his heart, and asked Han Yanzhang in a low voice: "Officers and soldiers, are there any people who ......are infected with the disease like Fang Lajun?"

Han Yanzhang's eyes dodged, and after a few breaths, he nodded lightly under Li Xiang's forced gaze.

Li Xiang fell softly on the back of the chair, and his eyes were instantly moist.

In fact, Li Xiang had already judged in his heart, but he never dared to ask, and now that the epidemic is no longer expanding, he finally couldn't hold back, but he didn't expect such a cruel answer.

Mr. Zi'an put his right hand on Li Xiang's shoulder and comforted:

"You've done enough. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the old man wouldn't have believed that there was such a young man in Da Zhou who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the small people. ”

"Manpower is sometimes poor, and what Xiaoyou has done has exceeded the requirements of helping the world and being poor alone."

"Why bother to put all your thoughts on the invisible and feel guilty for those who can't do anything. Look at the people in this hall, and think about the hundreds of people in the state office. Because of you, less than ten people have fallen in the state government, which is a virtue that no one can erase! ”

Li Xiang raised his head, and what he saw in his hazy vision was a martial arts official dining in the hall, standing up with chopsticks and waving at him.

"I'm so grateful for the grace of life!"

There are many names for Li Xiang, but the gratitude in his mouth is from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as the news of the epidemic was found back to Huzhou, Li Xiang withdrew all the guards in the post house to the state office, and prepared materials such as lime, charcoal, and wine overnight.

Mr. Zi'an had great confidence in Li Xiang, and directly handed over the epidemic prevention and control within the state government to Li Xiang, and let Li Xiang do it.

People outside can't put one in, the food must be steamed thoroughly, the body and accommodation must be disinfected with lime water every day, masks and masks must be worn except for sleeping, and as long as there is sunlight, take out the bedding and expose it to the sun......

Many people are dissatisfied with the complicated and strict regulations, and many people can't bear all kinds of inconveniences and secretly relax their self-requirements. As a result, a total of nine people fell in the state government, and eight of them had complaints about Li Xiang.

Four days ago, Huzhou City began to throw a large number of corpses outside the city, all of which were infected people who couldn't hold on.

The infection rate outside is close to 1 in 10, and less than 10 people have fallen in the state government where hundreds of people are huddled together, and most of them can be cured. Comparing the two and the next, the vast majority of the state officials and generals of the official army were grateful to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang's tears couldn't hold back any longer, he stood up and arched his hands left and right, leaning forward slightly, "Thank you, it's just ......"

"Those poor people and hungry people are human lives......

"How innocent is the small people, they work hard all their lives just for food and clothing, and they have to suffer from military disasters and epidemics......"

From the moment of Jiangnan, the pressure that had been accumulated until today finally broke the embankment.

His own life, the life of his guards and Zhuang Ding. The lives of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the lives of the people of the Yongle Puppet Dynasty...... While Li Xiang realized the cruelty of the large-scale war, he also began to think about the cause of the Jiangnan incident, but he was not inspired for the time being.

Li Xiang was distracted and was crying, but saw Da Niu running in in a panic. When I saw everyone standing and saluting, I was stunned.

Seeing the owner nodding, Da Niu strode to Li Xiang's side and whispered for a while.

Li Xiang's tears suddenly stopped, and even the sobbing stopped after a few breaths.

Everyone looked at each other.

Mr. Zi'an and Han Yanzhang saw that Li Xiang's expression had changed greatly, and they were thinking about how to ask euphemistically.

I saw Li Xiang slam his fist on the table and let out an angry roar:

"Fang Lajun, I will join your ancestral !!"
