"Liaodong has just been taken under its rule, how poor the people are, what can Tai do? Is it difficult to ask the people to pay this money? Well, then, order that all the expenses in the Shenhou Mansion be reduced by two-thirds, and draw up a charter, and see if you can leave the road construction to those merchants, and tell them that the general will allow them to collect a certain amount of tolls for carriages and horses after the road is built, and the time will be set at ten years. Liu Tai pinched his temples, and after thinking about it with a headache, he remembered the highway toll booth in the future and said out loud.

"Tolls? Isn't this the act of a robber? No, by all means, I hope the lord will take back his life. Xun Yu's head shook like a rattle, and he said without the slightest room for negotiation.

"Hey" Liu Tai patted his head and sighed, although he knew that Xun Yu would never agree to this, but he couldn't think of any good way for a while.

"Okay, let's put this on hold for now, and we'll talk about it when Tai comes up with a better way." Liu Tai nodded helplessly, then his eyes lit up, and he added: "If the money and food are really insufficient, dissolve part of the gold bars in the vault of the Kyushu Commercial Bank to solve the urgent need." ”

The vault of the commercial bank, is a Kyushu commercial bank established shortly after the establishment of a vault, located in the Houfu school field, guarded by heavy soldiers, the amount of gold in it, only Liu Tai learned, no less than a million catties of gold (but five hundred tons, don't be frightened, it is said that the United States gold reserves up to 10,000 tons of rich people. The gold in this is where all the savings of the Kyushu Commercial Bank over the past few years are, plus the gold and silver compensated by Zhen Mi's two families for their last mistake, it can be described as a sea of gold and silver, where Liu Tai's real family background is, no one thought about touching the gold in it, and no one dared to move it.

"Ah, this is what the lord said, and the minister ordered someone to dissolve 100,000 catties of gold at noon!" Xun Yu's eyes lit up, Xun Yu had already coveted the gold in the vault, if it weren't for the fact that this was Liu Tai's small vault that couldn't be moved, Xun Yu would have emptied it.

"You, take it, this is my warrant, I can only call 100,000 catties of gold, this is my old bottom in northern Xinjiang, I can only use it when it is urgent, and then the household department will fill the vacancy, you know?" Seeing Xun Yu's eyes brightening and looking like a fan of wealth, Liu Tai shook his head with a wry smile, where is this still some kind of suave Wang Zuozhicai, obviously a poor ghost reincarnated.

"No!" Xun Yu bowed to Liu Tai and took a gold order handed over by Liu Tai, which can be described as overjoyed, as for repaying the money... There is a lot of money owed, and the household department is worthy of the name of the largest creditor in northern Xinjiang, and there are more lice and are not afraid of itching.

"Report, Shenhou, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Xi Zhong begs to see..."Xu Wei shouted loudly outside the hall.

"Let him in." Liu Tai frowned, and after Xun Yu on the side felt that there was no need to stay here, he said, "Lord, I will retire first." ”

"Go ahead." Liu Tai nodded, at this time, if Liu Tai is in Huacheng, he is mostly dealing with government affairs, and Xi Zhicai will rarely come to Liu Tai, unless he encounters something major, Xun Yu is also an understanding person, and he knows some news from the Ministry of Intelligence, which he can't know, so he takes the initiative to leave.

After a while, Xi Zhicai walked into the Zhengda Guangming Hall with a dusty face, still holding a stack of documents in his hand, his face looked very ugly, something important must have happened.

Xun Yu happened to have a positive encounter with Xi Zhicai, nodded with a smile and was about to leave, and Xi Zhicai, who met him, suddenly said: "Lord, let's let Wen Ruo stay, there are some things that need to go through Wen Ruo, and it will be troublesome." ”

"Oh? Okay, Wen Ruo, you don't have to leave, stay and listen to what Zhicai has to do for the time being. Liu Tai nodded, and there was no objection, originally the major events in Northern Xinjiang could be said to have passed through Xun Yu's hands, and it didn't matter if Xun Yu knew.

"No!" Xun Yu arched his hand at Liu Tai, his face was very indifferent, as if he didn't care whether he stayed or not.

"Lord, please see, these are the information from the dragon groups from all over the country recently, the minister has screened it, and the rest of the information must be passed by the lord." Xi Zhicai's face was a little gloomy, and there was obviously nothing good.

"Well, is it all bad news?" Liu Tai frowned, picked a random book, and after opening it, his face became more and more ugly.

"It's not all bad, it's one or two good." Xi Zhicai shook his head, held his breath and condensed, squinting his eyes and said.

"At the beginning of February of the fifth year, a great epidemic broke out in the four states of the Central Plains, and the people suffering from typhoid fever died as many as one million, and the imperial court provided 10 million yuan for disaster relief, which reached less than one million in the hands of the people.

"In the middle of February of the fifth year of Guanghe, the embankment on the south bank of the Yellow River was executed, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou were seriously affected, and the people were easy to eat, and the Yellow Sect preachers were everywhere overnight, wandering around to bewitch the people, and the people were believed to reach millions of people, especially in Qingzhou..."

"At the end of February of the fifth year of Guanghe, the Son of Heaven amused Xiyuan, the ice stone (hail) in the world, smashed and injured countless forbidden troops, the Son of Heaven returned disappointed, when it was said, several counties around Luoyang were ice stones, and the people's houses were mostly smashed, and the dead and injured people were as many as tens of thousands."

"At the beginning of March of the fifth year of Guanghe, the taxes handed over to the imperial court in Yangzhou were robbed by thieves, and the Son of Heaven was not angry, and dismissed Liu Yu, the assassin of Yangzhou, from all powers, and ordered the prisoner car to escort him back to Luoyang."

"In the middle of March of the fifth year of Guanghe, Situ Chen Tan directly admonished the Son of Heaven on the grounds that the Shenhou provoked a civil war, asking the Son of Heaven to remove the Shenhou from his powers, and slandering the Shenhou for eleven crimes, and the Son of Heaven was furious and dismissed Chen Tan."

Liu Tai casually read a few secret reports, and he couldn't help but be angry, and said through gritted teeth: "There are frequent disasters in the world, these clan lords take care of their own interests, and the local officials are even more hateful, they actually ignore the life and death of the people, and expel the people who are slightly ill from the city, and let them fend for themselves, which is really a crime to be punished!" ”

"My lord, the general trend of the world is like this, the gate valve bureaucrats regard the people as pigs and dogs, and they have long been accustomed to it, my northern Xinjiang is remote, and I have no ability to rescue at all, so what can I do?" Xun Yu shook his head with a wry smile, Xun Yu, who was originally from the gate valve, still doesn't know the face of the gate valve clan?

"Hmph, gate valve, Chen Tan is good, one of the representatives of the gate valve, Yuan's watchdog, as Situ, in charge of the people's livelihood in the world, if there are constant disasters today, I don't think about how to save the people from fire and water, but in the many impeachments of General Ben, do you really think that General Ben is easy to bully?" Anger rose in Liu Tai's eyes, but helplessly, Liu Tai couldn't do anything about these Beijing officials for the time being, could it be difficult to assassinate them? This Liu Tai really can't do it.

"My lord, the epidemic in the Central Plains, how should I deal with it in northern Xinjiang? If these sick people are sent to the northern frontier by people with hearts..."Suddenly, Xi Zhicai remembered something, his eyes flashed with horror, and his face turned extremely pale.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xi Zhicai's look like a pig's liver, Liu Tai frowned, threw Chen Tan's fart aside, and looked at Xi Zhicai tightly and asked.

"My lord, during this period of time, due to the outbreak of the plague in the Central Plains, Jizhou Thorn History set up many checkpoints, and did not allow the plague to enter the northern Xinjiang, resulting in not many displaced people going north, but there are a group of five hundred displaced people whose deeds are very suspicious, not only from the Central Plains into Jizhou, but also from Bohai County to the north of Yuyang County a month ago into Yuyang County, I entered Yuyang County in northern Xinjiang, these displaced people in Yuyang County after registering, they dispersed on their own, Bohai is one of Yuan's nests, if yes, if "It turned out that when Xi Zhi heard Liu Tai mention Yuan's family, Suddenly remembered that the power leaned into the Bohai Yuan clan and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his forehead if the yuan clan deliberately sent the plague into the northern frontier as a homeless person, this

"What? From the Bohai Sea?? Swallowing his saliva, Liu Tai's right hand holding the document couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he said calmly: "Check, check immediately, let all the government officials and county soldiers be dispatched, be sure to catch all the displaced people scattered in northern Xinjiang, and instruct Hua Tuo to let him take the disciples and grandchildren in the medical school to immediately prepare to disperse to various parts of northern Xinjiang to guard against the plague that may break out at any time!" ”

"Lord, isn't this too impatient? Although the Yuan family is evil with the main bus, it is impossible to take the life and death of the people as a child's play, right? Let the displaced people carrying the plague enter the northern Xinjiang, causing a great plague to occur in the northern Xinjiang, this matter is also harmful to the Yuan family, but not beneficial! Xun Yu frowned, every group of displaced people who enter Northern Xinjiang will be in the Shangju Household Department, and after reaching a certain number, Xun Yu will send people to arrange them to live in various parts of Erzhou, and Xun Yu knows the most about the displaced people entering Northern Xinjiang.

And the biggest reason why Xun Yu thinks that it is impossible for the Yuan family to send the plague into northern Xinjiang is that in recent years, the Yuan family has also invested a lot of assets in northern Xinjiang, and even has a number of commercial buildings and commercial banks in the southern urban area of Huacheng.

"Impatient? Be careful, even if they don't have any problems, they must be arrested first, and after being diagnosed, the disease-free can be let go, typhoid fever and cholera are spreading very quickly, if they are not dealt with in time, it will cause a catastrophe, and the situation that I have built up in northern Xinjiang is afraid that it will collapse!! Liu Tai glanced at Xun Yu angrily, stood up and said with anger. Yuan's sinisterness, Xun Yu may not be clear, but Liu Tai knows very well, and the information about Yuan's small actions in northern Xinjiang in private can almost be accumulated into a bookcase, Liu Tai believes very much that in Yuan Kui's eyes, as long as it can damage Liu Tai's strength, no matter how bad it is, it will not hurt.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many kinds of plague, but the most terrifying was typhoid fever and cholera, which could definitely make people smell and change color, there were almost no medicine stones to treat, and the only one who could deal with the plague now Zhang Zhongjing did not know which mountain Wulingman belonged to, among which typhoid Liu Tai also knew the treatment method, and the sick person could be treated with pears, ginger, shallots, children's urine and other substances.
