Chapter 468: Beggar
Left.
"Father, those refugees have been waiting outside the city for half a month, and they are gathering more and more, and if they continue like this, they should not be able to bear it."
Li Haoran and Prime Minister Li stood in the study, father and son discussing the refugees outside the capital.
In the past half a month, a group of dozens of refugees have come from outside the capital, saying that their hometown is in trouble and there is nowhere to go.
The guards outside the city gate made it difficult for a few days and reported the matter, but because there were not many people, no one took this matter to heart, but left Haoran, and asked the guards to put them into the capital and gave them some silver taels, so they didn't ask too much.
Who knew that in less than two days, a large number of refugees suddenly came to the city gate, and every day there were more and more of them, and today, there are almost 10,000 people!
The guards at the gates no longer dared to open the door and let them in!
These refugees came hungry all the way, with a kind of ferocity on their bodies, and when they entered the city, who knows if there will be chaos?
And that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that some of them have already shown symptoms of the plague!
Then they will not dare to let them into the city!
But they are blocked outside the capital, and they have nothing to eat, and in the long run, they are afraid that they will make trouble!
10,000 people, hungry to the extreme, that's anything can be done!
Prime Minister Li squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "This matter is not trivial, we can't leave home." β
Whether or not you let people in, you have to bear the responsibility, and it is even very likely that the lives of the people in this city will not be guaranteed! You can't take this risk when you leave home!
Li Haoran bent down at the prime minister, and shouted urgently, "But father, if you don't come out now, those people will ......."
"If you come out, can you bear the lives of the people in this city?" Prime Minister Li interrupted Li Haoran's words, and his tone was solemn, "Hao'er, I know you are worried about the refugees outside, but the lives of the people in the capital are also fate, there has been a plague among those people, if you enter the city, the plague will be rampant, and it will not be one or two people who will die!" β
Plague, that's what can kill a city!
The Prime Minister's heart sank, and he said the decision in the palace, "This morning, Your Majesty and the ministers have already discussed, and tomorrow we will send soldiers to drive all those refugees out, and if there is a plague, burn them to death......"
"No, I can't
οΌ β
Li Haoran's face changed, "There are still some people who don't have the plague!" Are they normal, these people, don't care? β
"Do you have a better way?"
The prime minister said coldly.
"You can let them into the city!" Li Haoran's eyes kept turning, thinking about countermeasures, "Let them go into the city, after they come in, separate a place for them to live, don't let them come out, send the imperial doctor to see them every day, confirm that their illnesses are cured, and then let them come out one by one!" β
Once they enter the city, the hearts of the refugees will be reassured, and they will be willing to obey their orders, and then quarantine those who are confirmed to be plagued. β
The prime minister listened quietly and nodded, "It's a solution." β
Li Haoran's eyes lit up, but he heard Li Prime Minister continue, "But have you thought about it, if those people enter the city, how should they be placed?" β
"That's not a hundred, it's not a thousand, it's ten thousand!"
In case these people make trouble, the capital will be shaken, and who will be willing to take this risk!
Leaving home at this time, although he can win the hearts of the people, he has offended the powerful people in the capital! It's not worth the risk!
Li Haoran was shocked, opened his mouth, and was about to explain, but Li Prime Minister waved his hand, closed his eyes and said, "You go out." β
Although this son is pure-minded and loves the people, he is too naΓ―ve and needs to be tempered.
Li Haoran looked at Prime Minister Li's indifferent eyes and retreated helplessly.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly turned around and asked the guards beside him, "You said before that you saw Doctor Chu and Big Brother in a place not far from the capital?" β
The guard was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Yes, in a tavern, they were with a group of soldiers, and I saw that those soldiers were all from the second young master. β
"Take me!"
Li Haoran thought about it and made a decision immediately.
If there is anyone else who can solve this dilemma, that person must be Chu Bing!
The guard was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, "No, young master, there are refugees outside, if you go out of the city at this moment......"
"I am the master, you are the master? I said, I want to see the second brother and Dr. Chu! Li Haoran grimaced and said angrily.
The guard felt a chill down his spine, and he didn't dare to say more, so he could only agree with a bitter face.
About an hour later, two beggars dressed in rags and dirty on their faces appeared outside the city.
Li Haoran watched the refugees huddle together to keep warm, and from time to time there were cries, and his heart was sour, and he couldn't bear to look away.
"Let's go."
The guard looked at Li Haoran and whispered.
Wearing this dress, it is obviously inappropriate to call the young master again.
I didn't care about Haoran, the two of them walked out slowly, and simply saw that the gate of the capital was closed these days, knowing that the people inside were unwilling to let them in, and some people had left one after another, and they did not arouse the suspicion of others.
As soon as the two of them left the sight of others, they immediately took up light work, and soon arrived at the tavern on the fork in the road.
At the door of the tavern sat several soldiers, wiping their long knives.
Recently, there have been more and more refugees, and Yu Xi is worried that something will happen here, so people are watching all the time.
"What are you doing here? Let's go! β
When the soldiers saw the two beggars approaching, they were immediately disgusted and let them leave.
Li Haoran had a dark face, and took out a jade pendant from his arms, "I want to see Li Yuxi." β
That piece is matched with a huge and detached word.
The two soldiers glanced at each other, and they really couldn't figure out what their identity was.
One of them took out the jade pendant and looked at it, and then looked shocked, "It's true!" β
If it is true, this jade pendant is worth dozens of taels of silver, but in front of it, there are two beggars!
"Who wants to see me?"
At this moment, the voice of Liyu Xide came from inside the room.
Li Haoran was stunned, looked up, and saw two personable sons walking out of the tavern.
They were much taller, but when they stood together, they were unexpectedly harmonious.
Li Haoran opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse, "Chu...... Doctor. β
Listen carefully, and the tone seems to have a hint of grievance.
Chu Bing was stunned, stared at the beggar in front of him carefully, and shouted in disbelief, "Leave Haoran!" β
She walked quickly towards Li Haoran and looked at him, "How did you become like this?" β
Could it be that he left home and fell down? I can't get along with Haoran, so I'm a beggar?
