The Han Dynasty was superstitious, believing that the plague was a natural disaster, a warning to the heavens, and manpower was unstoppable, and the only way to avoid the disaster was to rely on the ruler. Hundreds of deaths may sound like a large number in modern times, but in the Han Dynasty, it was really nothing, and in ancient times, a plague often led to the death of tens of thousands of people, and the extinction of families. Therefore, this Luoyang plague was only due to untreated or untimely treatment in the early stage, and hundreds of people died, which can really be regarded as a great achievement for Emperor Liu Hong.

The excitement is over, and here's the reward.

Emperor Liu Hong was on the rise, and said casually: "Summoning Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing into the Shaofu, each give 10,000 yuan." ”

There was an imperial physician order in the Shaofu, and Yang Ci knew that the emperor wanted these two divine doctors to serve in the subordinates of the imperial physician order nearby, so that they could consult each other when they were sick. However, after getting along for a long time, he knew the temperament of the two of them and immediately saluted and replied: "Your Majesty's kindness, Hua and Zhang are not grateful, but Hua Tuo is a family all over the world, relieving diseases for the people, and has a famous doctor's style, and I am afraid that I will not answer the call if I am not in the official career." Zhang Zhongjing's medical skills are exquisite, but he is keen on his career, and his ambition is not in Shaofu, if he is forced, it is not beautiful. ”

Yang Ci's words were vague, but Liu Hong was often taught by his side, and he didn't feel angry at this time, so he said with a smile: "In this case, they will each give ten thousand dollars, and the rest will be decided by the master." "The master is the teacher, the emperor is very cordial, because Yang Ci once lectured in the Huaguang Hall when the emperor ascended the throne, taught Liu Hong to read, the two have a very good private relationship, Liu Hong is very respectful to him.

"No. Returning to Your Majesty, there is another matter, but Hou Wan recommended Hua and Zhang from his nephew Quan, and offered strategies to prevent and control the plague, I don't know how to reward them? ”

Liu Hong's eyes were stunned, and then he asked: "I remember that my nephew is only twelve years old this year, so is it his advice?" Although I don't like the Queen of Song, in the past, the Queen of the Song Dynasty often recruited Fuquan into the palace, and her aunt was the eldest daughter of Emperor Huan, Liu Hong's cousin, and she still had some impressions of this child.

Yang Ci replied: "Your Majesty is blessed, Fuquan is precocious, and the ministers must be dedicated to finding out the strategies for preventing and controlling the plague." ”

"Good, the decree is not the right time, and tomorrow I will bring my nephew into the palace to see me."

……

A reward passed quickly, except for a few people in Fuquan, everyone else had meritorious officials, but most of them were just false positions. Since Liu Hong entered the palace, the treasury has no money, and the valuable property in the palace has also been washed by the Dou family.

It doesn't matter how many people Yang Ci has, after all, they are all from a wealthy family and have a lot of wealth. When they left the palace gate, they went their separate ways, after all, if it were not for the prevention and control of the plague at this time, they would not have come together. It has been difficult to stand between the foreign dynasty and the Chinese dynasty since ancient times, Cao Song is fortunately only the adopted son of a eunuch after all, and his adoptive father Cao Teng has not done too many harmful things, but Duan Cheng is different, not to mention that he just took refuge in the eunuch and arrested the scholars, the emperor Yang Ci was ashamed to be with him, and he didn't say a few words with him these days.

Duan Cheng also knew this, and took the lead alone after separation, but he did not return to his mansion, but went to the mansion of Wang Fu, the middle servant. Today, he did not come to accompany His Majesty and rest in the house.

entered the mansion, and was soon introduced into the mansion by the cangtou and met Wang Fu. After a polite conversation, we got down to business.

"Ji Ming, the plague is over, so let's start in a few days."

After Wang Fu finished speaking, Duan Cheng immediately saluted and said "no" in his mouth.

"Zheng Sa, this thief is the most cunning, after you are arrested, you must torture me strictly and solve the iron case."

"I was about to report to the prince, and it was rumored that Zheng Sa and Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, conspired against each other and wanted to seek a big position."

Wang Fu was surprised: "Is this serious? ”

"Rumors, insignificant."

"Haha, God help me."

The two quickly decided on how to fight the hostile eunuchs in Wang Fu's palace, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are opponents among the eunuchs, even if they have cooperated for the sake of power, it is only a temporary measure.

Of course, Fu Quan didn't know these things, at this moment he was on his way back, and he was sitting in the car with a beautiful jade Elliang, somehow, he went out of the plague control point, and saw this Xuzhou uncle. When Elliang knew that Fuquan was the one who had offered the plague prevention and control strategy, he was overjoyed and asked to get into his carriage and return together.

"What happened to Uncle Shi when he went to the place where the epidemic occurred outside the city?"

"Let's see if there's a good opportunity."

Opportunity? For a big businessman like the Elk family, who has not yet become an official, what is a good opportunity?

Fu Quan was puzzled and asked, "What is the opportunity in the plague land?" ”

Elk Liang squinted and glanced at Fu Quan, his eyes flashed, and he said for a long time: "I didn't think that you, a wise man, didn't know that the plague land seems to be sinister, but it is actually a place where wealth and wealth begin. ”

Fu Quan was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "The little nephew is unknown, please ask Uncle Shi to solve your doubts." ”

"The land in Luoyang is fertile and the population is large, and it was difficult to find a piece of land, but now it is not."

"The plague?"

"Now that you have understood, I will say no more. Yu came here today, looking at other people who came and went, I am afraid that many of the Luoyang clan have already set their sights on this place, and Uncle Shi advised you that if you want to buy land, you should do it as soon as possible. ”

"Taught." Hui responded like this, but his heart was very uncomfortable, after all, these plague-stricken people were already suffering, and after suffering such natural disasters, life was even more difficult, but those big families had already stretched out their hands and were ready to get involved in this lucrative business, how could he not sympathize?

"Asking for land" has always been one of the most popular topics among people, both ancient and modern. How the family buys land, although Elliang's words are brief, they have been made very clear. Most of the land in Luoyang was fertile land, but under the flood, countless victims had no money or food to live, so they had to sell their land to survive. However, there has been a plague in this place, and with the help of people with intentions, the price will naturally plummet, and it will be easy for the wealthy family to start at this time. After a few years of delay, these are fertile land, and they are immediately fertile land, whether they are sold or arranged by their own servants to cultivate, it is a matter of great profit.

Forcible seizure is similar in ancient and modern times, but in the end it is the people who suffer.

At this time, in July, it was already the height of summer, the weather was hot, Fuquan Xindao was fortunate to stop the spread of the plague in time, otherwise if the plague broke out suddenly, people and animals died of countless diseases, and the consequences were unimaginable. Thinking of this, I can't help but admire the medical skills of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, after all, in the era when this kind of medical facilities were so simple in ancient times, they could treat and infect the people in a timely manner, and the name of the miracle doctor and medical saint in history was indeed worthy of its name.

The convoy slowly walked towards Luoyang City, the official road on the side of the road has been different when it came, the pedestrians are dense, the merchants come and go frequently, and there are more sons and gentlemen, ladies and ladies have the order that Luoyang can pass, and they come out to go out, and the prosperity and bustle of Kyoto can be seen.

The groom outside the car shouted loudly: "Young master, you are about to enter the city." ”

Fuquan got up and stood in front of the carriage, looking at the ancient capital full of the rise and fall of the Han people, the prosperity is still the same, not affected by the flood at all, how in the past, after the ban on Luoyang was lifted, it is still the same now.

The meat eaters of the Han Dynasty never really cared about the people's livelihood and welfare, and they were all vying for power and profit, including emperors, relatives, eunuchs, and those so-called scholars and gentlemen.
