Chapter 43: Burn
The yard was very large, and Lin Qingdai was also tired, so she found a room casually, and after letting the waiting maid go down, she carefully checked the room to make sure that there were no mouse holes, and then began to bathe and change clothes.
The futon was very soft and freshly replaced, and I was very tired along the way, but after eating noodles, the sleepiness became more obvious, and I quickly fell asleep on the soft bed.
When I woke up, it was already dark, and after I got dressed, I folded the quilt and opened the door, and I saw Chunmei waiting outside respectfully, followed by two little maids.
Chunmei finally waited for Lin Qingdai to open the door, and immediately showed a bright smile and saluted: "Is Miss Lin sleeping well?" King Duan said that if Miss Lin woke up, she would go to the flower hall. ”
Xia He had already been driven away, and when he left, he was extremely miserable, not to mention the board, and he didn't take the silver away, and he was directly sent out of Anyang City.
Today's Anyang City, ten rooms and nine emptiness are right, it's just a girl's family who has left the city, don't think about how dangerous it is outside, but ......
She is not very sympathetic to Xia He, after all, she has reminded Xia He many times before, don't get too close to Miss Li, Xia He also reprimanded her for not knowing how to seize the opportunity to climb up, people go to high places, as long as Li Peilan becomes Princess Li, and then maneuver in the middle, even if they can't become Duanwang's concubines, they can marry a good family.
Xia He's eyes were blinded by interests, and she saw more of the ending, so she didn't want to contact Li Peilan like Xia He.
It can be seen that King Li cares about Lin Qingdai very much, which makes her have the intention of making friends.
Lin Qingdai nodded slightly at Chunmei, and said hello: "Please take me with Miss Chunmei." ”
The lanterns on the cloister in the small courtyard have been lit up, and the entire backyard is illuminated, and occasionally you can see the busy figure of the maid.
Chunmei slowly led the way in front, and saw that Lin Qingdai was very interested in the surroundings, so she explained softly: "When Duanwang came here, the courtyard was not so big, and now the courtyard is connected by two courtyards. ”
Lin Qingdai was not surprised, Chunmei was the maid next to Duanwang, and when Qin Jingtian and Qin Jingfeng said this, it was estimated that Chunmei heard it.
Nodding slightly, he said: "There is this plan, after the plague, the courtyard here is cheap, so I want to buy some as a transaction, and when Anyang City prosperes again, it will be a little bit of a family." ”
It's better to be honest about this kind of thing than to twist and pry.
As for whether Chunmei and Li Peilan have a relationship, she didn't think much about it, as long as Chunmei didn't take the initiative to jump out to embarrass her, she would get along with her.
Chunmei looked at Lin Qingdai with adoring eyes: "Miss Lin's courage and courage really make me admire, my prince also said this to us before, but I am timid, and I haven't saved much silver for so many years, so I don't dare to buy it." ”
She really admires Lin Qingdai's courage and dares to buy shops and yards at this time.
Lin Qingdai felt that wealth was in danger, and said calmly: "I also want to borrow money to try my luck." ”
The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the flower hall.
This flower hall is the flower hall in the backyard, which is a special place for Duanwang to meet guests, Lin Qingdai saw everyone when she entered the door, and the night imperial doctor nodded slightly at her.
After saying goodbye, he sat on the empty chair next to Qin Jingtian very well.
Qin Jingfeng opened his mouth and said, "Miss Lin, what do you have any special thoughts on this plague?" We discussed it for a while, and we were all worried that the rats would not be wiped out, and the plague would not be eliminated. ”
In fact, rats are quite easy to solve, but the most difficult thing to solve is fleas, which can easily become fish that slip through the net.
Lin Qingdai had already thought about it, glanced around at the imperial doctors, and said seriously: "The rats must be hiding in the rat holes, first investigate in Anyang City, pour lime water into the places with rat holes, and clean the streets and houses with lime water inside and out, which may consume a lot of energy and silver, let's take it step by step, the first step is to ensure the safety of Anyang City, and then expand it a little bit, I want to ask Duanwang, are there more survivors left outside Anyang City?" ”
In this era, many things are limited, and the only way to disinfect them is lime water.
And how do you get rid of fleas? Without pesticides, she didn't know how to put them out.
But fleas generally parasitize rats and animals, and humans can also parasitize, and now the most likely parasitism is mice, and when the rats are eliminated, there will be fewer fleas.
King Duan frowned and said a little worriedly: "In the area under the jurisdiction of Anyang City, there are a total of fifty-eight thousand six hundred people, and it is estimated that there are a few hundred people who secretly left, and now there are only two or three thousand people who have survived, and many of these people are scattered in various places, does Miss Lin have any plans?" ”
Lin Qingdai glanced at Qin Jingtian, wanting to see that Qin Jingtian would not allow her to continue.
As a result, seeing Qin Jingtian's contemplative appearance with his eyes closed, he pouted and said, "There is a plan, I see that there are many empty houses in the city, right?" ”
As soon as King Duan stretched out his hand, he saw a small servant respectfully take out an account book, and then King Duan opened the account book and said, "There are one hundred and twenty-eight ownerless houses in the city. ”
Ownerless, that is, the whole family is dead, and there is no house for the living.
This kind of house will be repossessed by the government, and Lin Qingdai wants to use these empty houses and said: "I suggest that these one hundred and twenty-eight houses be taken out for these surviving people to live temporarily, we have to take these people into the city, and after they are settled in the city, we can clean up the villages outside, and the village has the most dead people, after all, it is a place with a high incidence of plague, I suggest that everything is burned, so as long as there are rats infected with the plague in the village, but those who are still alive are estimated to be very few who are not burned to death." ”
After a pause, he continued: "But this loss is a bit big, and when people want to come and settle down, they are afraid that there will be no place to live." ”
She thinks a lot, Anyang City will have to develop in the future, and the house is still very important.
Qin Jingtian opened his eyes and said in a calm tone: "When it is confirmed that the plague has passed, people will be arranged to come over to build houses, and it is estimated that we will have to re-select the land to build a village, this is not in the scope of consideration, burning the village can really suppress the plague?" ”
Lin Qingdai nodded affirmatively: "Definitely can, as long as everything is eliminated from the source, it will be fine, and the plague has been happening for so long, in fact, those rats infected with the plague are estimated to be almost dead, and I am more worried about fleas, this thing breeds quite quickly, and many villages outside are not all dead, and burning it can be regarded as a new beginning." ”
With so many deaths, pneumonic plague aside, there must have been other bacteria breeding, and the germs of pneumonic plague can be extinguished by fire.
King Duan immediately clapped his hand and said: "Just according to what Miss Lin said, you will work hard, be on duty at the city gate, and be sure to check everyone who enters the city." ”
