On the city wall of the Imperial Palace of Tokyo City, Emperor Zhao Shu dragged his sick body to stand at the head of the city, holding the female wall while coughing and looking down worriedly, only to see the victims under the city wall could not see the edge at a glance, the Gaotou Street and Alum Tower Street outside the Donghua Gate were all black pressed human heads, the southern city of Tokyo City was almost all flooded, only the northern city where the imperial palace was located was higher, so the victims of the southern city naturally gathered in several areas of the northern city, among which the palace was around the largest gathering area of the victims.

"Your Majesty don't worry, since yesterday, the water of all rivers has begun to fall, and now the rain is much lighter, I believe that in a few days, the flood in the city will recede, and then these victims will be able to go home!" Han Qi, who was standing behind Zhao Shu, opened his mouth to persuade at this time, Renzong had no children at the beginning, and it was with Han Qi's strong support that Emperor Renzong made Zhao Shu the crown prince, which also made Zhao Shu attach great importance to Han Qi, and now Zhao Shu is worried about the victims in the city, and only he dares to speak out to persuade him.

"I hope so!" Zhao Shu sighed, turned to look at Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang and the other ministers, and said, "Last night, I sent several groups of people to the upper reaches of each river to observe the water potential, and the other groups of people have returned, but King Ying went to the east of the city but has not come back yet, I am really a little worried!" ”

"Don't worry, the heavy rain for several days has made the road muddy, especially in the east of the city, and it is normal for King Ying to delay some time on the road!" Zeng Gongliang also opened his mouth to persuade at this time, this emperor's majesty is not in good health, but he still likes to worry about it the most, and under such hard work, his condition is naturally more capricious.

Zhao Shu just said casually, nodded after hearing Zeng Gongliang's words, and then cheered up and asked Han Qi again: "Han Gong, now there are so many disaster victims, many of them have no food to eat, and can only rely on the imperial court soup to survive, but I don't know if the food in the city is enough, and the food outside the city can be transported as usual?" ”

"Qi Yu Xià, there is a lot of grain in the city, and most of the granaries are also built in relatively high places, so there are not many flooded, and even if it is flooded grain, as long as it is grabbed out in time, it can still be eaten, so the grain in the city is enough to last for three or four months, and with the receding of the river, the various rivers will soon be navigable, and the grain outside the city can also be transported in, so there is no shortage of food in Kaifeng City, but the surrounding capitals that have been severely affected are very short of grain, It is said that there have been displaced people in Caizhou and other places, and they are in urgent need of food relief! ”

"Alas, this flood happened to be born in the core area of my Great Song Dynasty, even if the flood recedes immediately, I am afraid that this year's summer grain will be difficult to harvest, and the lack of grain has become an inevitable situation, fortunately, Jiangning has not been greatly affected, and it is not far from Caizhou, so a batch of food should be mobilized from Jiangning to save the emergency!" Zhao Shu sighed again, and at the same time he also remembered the two kinds of high-yield grain that Zhao Yan brought, one of which can reach a yield of more than 1,000 catties per mu, but unfortunately the seedlings of those two kinds of grain are limited now, and it will take at least two or three years to promote them on a large scale, and before confirming Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Shu does not plan to let others know about these two kinds of food.

Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang also agreed to transfer food from Jiangning for disaster relief, and then they discussed some details of disaster relief with Zhao Shu, but at the end, Han Qi changed his words again: "Your Majesty, there will be a great epidemic after the disaster, and now there is already an epidemic among the people in the city, although no one has died because of this, but this is also because the disaster has not been broken out for a short time, and the epidemic has not yet come and spread on a large scale, if it is a few days later, I am afraid that this epidemic will sweep the entire capital, and other affected state capitals will also break out of the epidemic, I don't know how many people will die by then, so please ask Your Majesty to judge! ”

As soon as he heard about the epidemic, Zhao Shu also had a headache, he had been worrying about this problem for the past two days, and he hadn't even been able to sleep well last night, but he still cheered up and asked: "Han Gong, how did the imperial court deal with this epidemic in the past?" ”

"This ......" Han Qi seemed to be a little hesitant about this question, turned his head and glanced at Zeng Gongliang and the others next to him, and then replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, in the past, when there was an epidemic, as long as one of the people in the disaster was sick, he would immediately be forcibly sent to a closed place and locked up, so as to prevent the epidemic from being transmitted to others again, but in this way, those sick people could only fend for themselves in the closed place, and very few people survived." ”

When he said this, Han Qi paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, forcibly sending the sick victims away will cause a huge panic among the victims, and even if it is not done well, it may also provoke a civil uprising, so it is necessary to mobilize the army in advance just in case!" ”

Hearing Han Qi's cold words, Zhao Shu coughed violently again, if it is really handled like Han Qi, I am afraid that most of the victims who are sick will die, but if it is not dealt with in this way, it will cause more people to be infected and more people will die by then, which is really a very difficult choice for Zhao Shu, who has just taken power.

"I have the Imperial Medical Bureau, the Hanlin Medical Hospital, the Imperial Hospital, etc., and I have so many medical officers, but can't I overcome even a single epidemic?" Zhao Shu, who was coughing, finally stopped, and asked Han Qi and the others loudly with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, the epidemic is easy to treat and difficult to prevent, if one person is cured, maybe there will be ten patients again, although there are many medical officers in my Great Song Dynasty, but for hundreds of thousands of victims, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, coupled with the ferocity of the epidemic, it can kill people in just a few days, the medical officers have no time to treat, and there are not so many drug reserves, so please forgive me!" Han Qi also loudly argued for the medical officials, as a hundred officials, he naturally had to protect the benefits of the hundred officials, not to mention that no one could overcome the epidemic for thousands of years, so he couldn't blame the medical officers of the Great Song Dynasty for this matter.

Zhao Shu also knew that it was a bit unreasonable to blame the medical officer for this incident, but when he thought that hundreds of people would die after the epidemic broke out, and he didn't know how many lonely souls and wild ghosts would be added to the mass graves outside the city, Zhao Shu felt a pang in his heart, and after this epidemic, Tokyo City would definitely be greatly damaged, and he didn't know how much time it would take to restore the prosperity it had before?

Just when Zhao Shu was troubled by the epidemic, Zhao Xu, who had left from Zhao Yan, finally rushed back to the palace, and when he asked his father and others to observe the victims in the city, he immediately rushed to the imperial doctor of Zhou, but the official rank of the imperial doctor of Zhou was too low, so he could only wait at the entrance of the city, and he climbed to the head of the city alone.

"Yingwang Zhao Xuan see His Majesty!" When Zhao Ji saw his father, he immediately bowed down and saluted, usually he can call Zhao Shu "Daddy", but in this kind of formal meeting, he wants to call himself a courtier, and the title of Zhao Shu has become a more formal "Majesty".

"King Ying doesn't have to be polite, how is the water situation of the river east of the city?" Zhao Shu couldn't help but show a smile on his face when he saw his most valued son.

"Your Majesty, the water potential of the river in the east of the city is indeed declining, and it seems that it won't be long before the flood can be alleviated!" As soon as Zhao Ji finished answering Zhao Shu's question, he said impatiently, "Your Majesty, this time the minister went out of the city to inspect the water situation, but there was an unexpected gain, which can solve my urgent need of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

"Oh? What is the windfall? Zhao Shu was also a little surprised when he heard Zhao Ji's words, and the attention of Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang and several other ministers was also attracted by Zhao Ji's words.

"Qi Yu Majesty, when the minister returned to the city, I heard that the third brother Guangyang County King temporarily moved to live outside the city due to the flood, in the spirit of brotherhood, the minister went to visit the third brother, but I didn't expect to get a way to prevent the epidemic from the third brother!" Zhao Ji said excitedly.

"What?" Zhao Shu, Han Qi and the others were all shocked when they heard Zhao Ji's words, among them, Zhao Shu stepped forward two steps excitedly, grabbed Zhao Ji's shoulder and said, "Xu'er, you tell your father quickly, Yan'er really has a way to prevent and control the epidemic?" ”

"Daddy, this matter is true, the third brother also took in a group of people who escaped from the city, two days ago, some of those victims had an epidemic, but the third brother only took a few days, the epidemic was controlled, so far only dozens of people are infected, and after treatment, none of these infected people died, and only the Zhou imperial doctor of the county king's mansion participated in the treatment, and now this Zhou imperial doctor has come to the palace with his sons, and is now waiting under the city wall!" Zhao Ji's eyebrows fluttered and said, he also knew the impact of the epidemic explosion on the Great Song Dynasty, and now that the threat of the epidemic can be solved, Zhao Ji is happier than anyone else.

"Hahahaha~, God bless me! God bless me! Zhao Shu looked up to the sky and laughed excitedly, as if even the illness on his body was much better, "Quick, let that Imperial Doctor Zhou come up, I want to personally inquire about the prevention and control of the epidemic!" ”

However, compared to Zhao Shu's excitement, Han Qi and others were half-convinced, when Zhao Yan gave Zhao Ji an injection that day, Han Qi and others were present, and later Zhao Ji recovered, so there was a rumor that Zhao Yan cured Zhao Ji, for this rumor, Han Qi and others did not think it was a joke like others.

It's just that Han Qi and the others didn't know that Zhao Yan made up the statement of meeting immortals to Zhao Shu, and Zhao Shu, out of some considerations, also issued a gag order for Zhao Yan's statement that he met immortals, except for him, Queen Gao, Zhao Xuan, Cao Ying and Zhao Yan himself, there is no sixth person in the world who knows, so although Han Qi and the others know that Zhao Yan knows some medical skills and even cures Zhao Xuan, they don't really believe that this king of the county will really have a way to overcome the thousand-year-old problem of the epidemic, so they all look at Zhao Xuan with suspicion.
