Chapter 465: Plague Outbreak
Wang Wuyue felt inexplicable.
This emperor is very wise, and if he is not wise, he will not be able to defeat the Jin army of the tiger and wolf army. It's just that this emperor is often stunned and often says some inexplicable things, which makes people confused and don't know why.
At this moment, the emperor is stunned and talking nonsense again, otherwise there would be no idea of moving the capital to Youzhou!
As long as you are a person with a normal head, you will not think about moving the capital to Youzhou, this is impossible.
"Your Majesty, it is impossible to move the capital to Youzhou!" Without a trace of hesitation, Wang Wuyue refused again.
"Alas!"
Zhao Pu is very disappointed, maybe in a few decades, he will move the capital to Youzhou, but the time is not ripe to move the capital to Youzhou at this moment. It's just that once you settle down, it's a bit of a pain to move your nest again. It is extremely difficult for a small family to move, and it is a country that moves the capital.
Looking at Zhao Pu's pitiful appearance, Wang Wuyue felt a little unbearable in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "It's not feasible to set the capital of Youzhou, but you can set Youzhou as a partial capital!" ”
"That's it, just be partial to the capital!"
Zhao Pu could only accept it.
is equivalent to a concubine, and there is still a gap between her and her wife. wanted to abolish his wife and restore his concubine, but Nanbi ascended to the sky. Only at the moment, it can only be like this.
can only choose the most suitable, not the most ideal, there are too many helplessness in life, and it is a country.
…………
Soon, the emperor's decree was issued, and it was decided to move the capital to Luoyang, Luoyang as the capital, and the number was the capital; and Hangzhou was changed to accompany the capital, which is the southern capital; And Youzhou was changed to Beijing, which is also a partial capital.
A wife and two concubines. The pattern of the Song Dynasty was thus set
As soon as this move came out, although some people were not satisfied, most people raised their hands in favor.
Hangzhou is designated as the partial capital. It is conducive to controlling Jiangnan and controlling Jiangnan taxation. There is a navy stationed here, which can form a deterrent to the southeast, and it is also conducive to the setting of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate;
Determining Youzhou as the partial capital is conducive to controlling Youyun and forming a better deterrent to the north;
The capital of Luoyang is a mediocre color.
Such a pattern. Some are conservative, some are mediocre; However, it is the best choice relative to the national conditions.
And after setting the three capitals. The emperor has made another decree to patrol the frontier of Beijing every three years to strengthen the awareness of border defense.
And after these set the tone. New problems have arisen. To build a canal. Contact the capitals. The canal of the past has long been silted up and must be dredged; And the canal leading to Beijing has to be rebuilt, which is another huge project.
This also requires caution to prevent the loss of labor and money, and the tragedy of Emperor Yang of Sui from falling into exile.
The general tone has been set!
Leave some officials behind and stay in Hangzhou. Maintain the normal operation of the imperial court, while most of the officials. Under the escort of the Praetorian Guard, the mighty march towards the north.
Along the way, I sat on the boat and walked to the canal road, which was more comfortable. After reaching the northern section, the canal can only be traveled by horse or car. Abandoning the frame, Zhao Pu wore armor, rode on a war horse, and slowly moved forward.
The road was uneven, the road was quite bumpy, and it was very uncomfortable to ride on a horse, but Zhao Pu still persevered.
Along the way, the grass is everywhere, many villages are uninhabited, and weeds grow in the fields, and dead people's bones can be seen from time to time on the roadside.
"The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!" Zhao Pu couldn't help but think of Cao Cao's poems.
The land of Jianghuai was originally a fertile land with a population of 10 million, but a war completely destroyed it. With a population of 10 million, less than one million at the moment, many areas are mostly wilderness, and the former fertile land has also become a barren field!
Previously, Zhao Pu thought about developing Southeast Asia, developing Australia, and using the vast land there to relieve the population pressure of the Song Dynasty. It's just that now that I think about it, it's a little redundant. A war lost tens of millions of people, and the north became less populated and more populous, and at the moment it was enough for the population of the south to move to the north.
In the coming decades, or even a hundred years, there will be no population pressure on the Song Dynasty. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, and it is not conducive to the development of Southeast Asia.
When I arrived in Xuzhou, I felt a trace of popularity.
Looking at the pedestrians on the street, Zhao Pu had a sense of comfort, only after more than ten years of cultivation and recuperation, the Lianghuai region would become rich again and become a grain tax center in the Song Dynasty.
"Meet Your Majesty!"
At this time, the governor of Xuzhou and the general judgment greeted one after another.
"Qing family, don't be polite!" Zhao Pudao.
Entering Xuzhou City, just sitting down and resting for a while, there was a shocking bad news.
In the Youyun region, a great plague broke out, and some soldiers were infected one after another, and they had to stop the pursuit. And the plague is expanding, spreading in all directions.
"Plague, plague again! After the great plague, there will be a plague! ”
Zhao Pu was in a somewhat gloomy mood and was extremely lost. At this moment, it was the best time for the army to go out and besiege the Jin army, and as a result, the plague broke out. The plague does not distinguish between friend and foe, it all hurts. The damage to the Song army was even greater, so that the Song army lost the best opportunity.
"What kind of plague is it?" Zhao Pu asked.
"This, a plague is a plague?" Zhao Da, who reported the news, said.
Zhao Pu immediately had an impulse to step forward, and couldn't help asking: "Plague is a kind of toxin invasion, and plague is divided into many kinds, such as plague, SARS, smallpox, influenza, dysentery, etc., ......"
I have to say that in this era, the understanding of plague is very superficial, and plague is plague, regardless of type. In fact, plague is a bacterial invasion and is divided into many types.
Zhao Pu was a little speechless, but he still popularized the knowledge of the plague.
"If you get SARS, bird flu, heaven and earth, no one can save you; If you have the plague, you will not be saved, but as long as you have more cats, it is still a bit of a salvation to be diligent in fighting mice; As for smallpox, after contracting smallpox, it is not saved, but it can be effectively prevented; As for getting dysentery, some of them are saved, but whether they can survive or not depends on luck............"
In later generations, many epidemics were cured or prevented.
Even the awesome SARS and avian flu have vaccines. Of course, in this era, there is no vaccine, and it can only be relied on prevention.
"Your Majesty, do you have a way to break the plague?" Wang Wuyue was surprised.
"Your Majesty, is this true?" Zhao Da was also shocked.
"It can't be fake, it can't be fake! It can't be said that nine out of ten are safe, at least seven layers of chances of winning! Zhao Pu said confidently. To prevent smallpox, you only need to borrow cowpox; To treat the flu, only penicillin is required; To treat dysentery, only cinchona cream is needed.
And these treatment drugs are very simple and cheap.
Of course, prevention is paramount.
In the midst of a plague, it is always more effective to strengthen prevention than to treat it after the fact! Even in later generations, these epidemics are not 100% cured.
As he spoke, Zhao Pu picked up his pen and began to write about the prevention and treatment of the plague.
Zhao Pu is not a doctor, and many clever methods can't be used, so he can only write out the plan roughly based on the impression of his previous life, as for how many omissions, it depends on luck.
Looking at the content on the paper, Wang Wuyue was full of doubts and said, "Your Majesty, is this okay?" ”
"Of course! However, there is no tried-and-true method, many people will survive, and some who are unlucky will die! Zhao Pu said. (To be continued......)
