Chapter 163: The Plague
"Lang Jun, what's the name of this thing?" When Wu Shun asked this, several people on the side stared at Li Hao, and they also wanted to know what these things they were playing with were called, and they might be able to show off in front of other teenagers in the future.

"The kind of fireworks that come out are called fireworks, and the ones that make a noise are called firecrackers. This thing has not been produced in Chang'an City now, and only Liuyang over there in Tanzhou has this. Li Hao replied with a smile after hearing this, in fact, there are more detailed names, such as two kicks and cupolas.
These things carry Li Hao's memories of the past, and even the actual effect is almost the same. Naturally, Li Hao's idea is indispensable, otherwise these things would not have appeared in Datang so quickly.
After the New Year, Li Hao still gave red envelopes to everyone in the house just like last year. Then I stayed in the house for a few days, and at this time, a pastry shop called Cai Diexuan quietly opened in Chang'an City.
Business here is very good, and it is not uncommon to see ladies coming in horse-drawn carriages to make purchases. Beautiful and delicious pastries are also slowly becoming popular in Chang'an City. What egg tarts, mille-feuille almond cakes, etc., just look at it and make people appetite, and it tastes even more delicious, all of which are difficult to eat at this time.
Li Hao only went to see it twice, and when he saw that the business was good and everything was normal, he didn't continue to pay attention to these. This pastry shop has little to do with him, one part of Wu Shun, one part of Ruyan, and one part of Gao Yang and Princess Wu, all of them are women.
Li Hao came over for reference at most, and gave some suggestions on the decoration of the store, as well as the style of those pastries. However, the little princesses and princes in the palace often come over to buy some and eat them, and they will spend some time learning to make all kinds of pastries.
Because of Li Hao's appearance, there are a lot of delicious things in Chang'an. In addition to the meals of the natural residence, the cakes of Cai Diexuan, the whole sheep banquet and the whole pig banquet also began to slowly spread in the upper-class families or ordinary people's homes around Chang'an.
It's something that looks good, and something that doesn't. For example, in Li Tai's workshop, next to the natural residence, there is an additional restaurant called Fan Lou after the Spring Festival. There are also stir-fried dishes in it, but the price is cheaper than natural dwelling.
After the opening of this Fan Building, the business of the natural residence next to it has been affected a lot, and some customers have gone to the Fan Building next to it. The store manager over there looked helpless when he saw Li Hao coming, in the face of this kind of competition, he didn't know what else to think about except to reduce the price.
"We don't cut prices!" Li Hao didn't make the decision to reduce the price after seeing this scene, but thought about it for a while. The shopkeeper's face became more and more bitter after hearing this, but after Li Hao told him something, the shopkeeper here became more relaxed.
Li Hao naturally didn't personally stare at this restaurant, he just told the store manager. Here are three special stir-fry dishes every day, half the price cheaper than usual, and then talk to Fan Lou opposite for a while.
If Fan Lou wants to overpower the business here, he must follow the price reduction, and more importantly, their dishes must also be innovated. If you can't keep up, the restaurant over there will fall down sooner or later. After the reaction came out, the natural home launched a point VIP consumption service.
Although I don't understand what this VIP is, the store manager can understand what Li Hao means, how to say that he is also the first batch of teenagers to learn from Li Hao, and his understanding ability is still very strong. It's basically a matter of getting a small card and giving it the identity of the customer's representative.
If you have enough points, you can enjoy as many discounts as you want, and you can enjoy up to six percent off services. This makes it possible for natural home to not only absorb more stable popularity, but also to make those customers spend more because of this VIP card.
After the matter was settled here, after staying in Chang'an for a few days, Li Hao mentioned going to the south. The route he took was the same as when he came back last year, and he was going to Luoyang for a few days. Wu Shun still followed Li Hao's side, and Da Lang and his wife also followed.
According to Wu's idea, the wedding between Li Hao and Wu Shun was originally held during this Spring Festival, because Li Hao had already performed the crown ceremony. It's just because Li Hao feels that they are still young now, and after arguing with each other, they each took a step back and set the time at the end of the eleventh year of Zhenguan.
At that time, Li Hao had to come back from Tanzhou earlier, and then handle the marriage with Wu Shun. This can be regarded as the fulfillment of one of Wu's wishes, so that Wu Shun can find a wishful man. Li Hao is naturally a wishful man now, and he also knows it by looking at Wu Shun's behavior.
The matter in Luoyang has Wang Xuance to help, plus Dalang and his wife, the businessmen from Tanzhou have come to step on the point in advance, and the matter is done quickly. It only took half a month for Li Hao's restaurant in Luoshui to officially open, and other workshops were almost ready.
In addition to various workshops in Luoyang, Li Hao also made a small warehouse near the water, and in the future, the goods turnover in the north and south will be a freight center here. After all the goods are concentrated here, they are separated and rotated in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
It's a big project, but it's not that much needed now. Li Hao doesn't have any property in the north, and he is now running Luoyang, Chang'an, and Tanzhou, so it doesn't take much time to get this turnover center out.
As for the matter of the shopping mall, Li Hao doesn't have to worry about this. He roughly talked to Da Lang, plus the experienced businessmen from Tanzhou came to handle this matter, there were not many places for Li Hao to worry about.
"This Luoyang water mat tastes so good, my family will never forget it after eating it once." Wang Xuance hasn't gone to Chang'an to take office yet, and it won't take much time to go from Luoyang to Chang'an, so this guy will stay here in Luoyang for a while longer.
During this time, thanks to his help, Li Hao's various things will be done so smoothly. And the Luoyang water seat was also inadvertently promoted by Wang Xuance, and quickly opened up the situation on Luoyang's side.
The Wang family is a big family in Luoyang, and this Luoyang water seat was originally made up to cater to the tastes of Luoyang people. Those who had heard of it tasted it once, and immediately liked it, and then quickly spread in Luoyang.
"The host completed the task and created a new food Luoyang water banquet, and opened a restaurant, which was nodded and praised by 200 people. "Soon after the ......restaurant opened, Li Hao received the system's task reward because the number of people who praised it met the requirements.
The rewards for this mission are similar to the previous ones, and now there are very few physical rewards, most of which are points. And what Li Hao needs most now is points, and he needs points to go to the system mall to exchange for the technology and things he needs, so he didn't have anything to do with the system.
After the restaurant was on the right track, Li Hao did not continue to stay here. He is still an official, and he has to go to work under Li Ke, and he is not so free. After all, Li Ke had already gone directly to Tanzhou from Chang'an, and Li Hao couldn't delay it for too long.
After getting his hands on these things here, he had to hurry to Tanzhou, and then live a good life in his official position with peace of mind, take a look at the development of Tanzhou by the way, and discuss with those Tanzhou businessmen how to make more money.
At this time, a team of flying horses came from the direction of Chang'an and stopped Li Hao, who had just walked south, followed by the emperor's message: "There is smallpox in Guanzhong!" Chang'an is in urgent need of doctors, and Li Hao needs to return to Chang'an immediately to discuss countermeasures! ”
"Smallpox? Smallpox in Guanzhong? After hearing the news, Li Hao was immediately stunned, what smallpox meant at this time, no one knew better than Li Hao. And there are many people around me who are in Chang'an.
Thinking of this, Li Hao hesitated, preparing to let Wushun and the others stay in Luoyang. Then I changed some vaccines from the system and vaccinated all these people around me on the spot. He himself doesn't need it now, and has already been vaccinated against smallpox in advance.
If this exchange continues, Li Hao does not have enough points in his hand. Finally, because of the opening of a restaurant, the points for the launch of Luoyang Water Seat were spent a lot. No one could have imagined that disaster would come without warning.
If they go south a day or two earlier, it is estimated that these people will have to catch up with one more road, and then they will have to delay the epidemic over there. Li Hao asked about the extent of the epidemic in Guanzhong while taking precautions for the people around him and arranging their work by the way.
For Li Hao, these things are very important. From this information, he can roughly understand the situation over there, and he also understands how to carry out rescue work. Although smallpox was eradicated in later generations, there was no effective medical treatment.
This thing can only be prevented, and all the people in the epidemic area should be prevented to control the spread of that thing. While learning about the situation in Chang'an, Li Hao went to the system from time to time to check to see if there was anything special to treat smallpox.
According to the knight, the first place where the outbreak occurred was in a village in a county town on the edge of Chang'an. Less than five days after the first case, smallpox quickly infected five other villages around that village and has a tendency to continue to spread.
By the time the knight received the news and came to look for Li Hao, the number of people who had died due to the epidemic in the entire Guanzhong area had already passed double digits, and it was still increasing explosively.
The county magistrate who first discovered the epidemic was so anxious that he asked the doctor to treat those patients while reporting to the imperial court. You must know that the county is only a few dozen miles away from Chang'an City, and there is a plague here, which is too much of a threat to Chang'an.
However, it was all too slow, and no effective measures were taken in the first place. Let the plague quickly spread to other places, and all kinds of unfavorable news quickly spread around.
As the news of the plague spread, not only the villages and towns around the county town were in a panic, but even the people in the one hundred and eight squares in the capital of Chang'an were all in a panic, and hundreds of people were ready to move to other places at home.
