Chapter 1008: The Plague Strikes
Originally, I thought that life would be peaceful and peaceful, without wind and waves, and peaceful and joyful.
However, Si Si suddenly heard a message.
The plague appeared.
What's going on here?
Early in the morning, when Si Si was facing the account book in his hand, the numbers in the account book were a little complicated, and Si Si became a little irritable after a while, so he dropped the things in his hand first and walked out of the room to breathe.
Mianmian did not follow Sisi's side at this time to take care of her, but in the kitchen to cook for Sisi, the two children were also being taken by the nurse, Sisi went to look at the two children and then came to the kitchen, standing by the kitchen door, and Mianmian was chatting without a word.
"Madam, our family's business is getting bigger and bigger now, just leave these tasks to the people under your hands, you just need to strategize and make some decisions, where you need to be so tired, it's better to rest more." Mianmian looked at her wife's irritable look, and couldn't help but start to persuade the old mother.
"Mianmian, you can rest assured, I actually have a sense of proportion in my heart, I just look at the account book at home every day, and I don't do anything else, if I don't even look at this account book, then I'm really bored to death." Si Si knew that Mianmian was actually for his own good, so he didn't say anything more.
Mianmian nodded, sighed helplessly, and said while sitting on the work in his hands: "I thought that madam, you would be noisy about going out to play recently, so you can stay quietly at home and read the account books, and it's good not to go out, I recently heard that there is a plague outside the town next door to us, and many people in the city are seriously ill because of this, and the emperor doesn't know about it, in short, the court is also in a panic." ”
"I'm tired of playing around here, and I don't want to go out for a walk, and I can't go far, and there's a plague outside?" Si Si was a little surprised, he really didn't know these things. Si Si has been staying at home for the past few days, and he has not inquired about the news outside, and Si Si has heard of the plague outside for the first time!
Mianmian nodded, with a slightly worried look on her face, and she didn't know how long this thing would last?
"No matter how many days you stay at home these days and the news is not well-informed, naturally you don't know, these days, Jiangsu and Zhejiang heard that there seems to be another flood, the fields are flooded, many crops have not been harvested, although it is also allocated to go down, but you also know that it is like this every year, and what is the use of appropriation? This layer of exploitation continues, and when the people still have a few dollars left? ”
"And after the flood, the livestock in the house are almost dead, and there is no place to bury them, so there is a plague, and many people have begun to flee to the nearby towns, and they are all hiding in the city, and the city is almost unable to fit it."
Mianmian broke off after saying this, none
Nai sighed and then continued: "Although I heard that the imperial court has also thought of a lot of ways to settle these victims, so that they don't wander around and make the plague more and more raging, but there is no way, there are so many people, even if there is a rotation resettlement point, it is just a drop in the bucket, think about those villagers outside, so now that there is the protection of the imperial court, it may not be starved to death, but there is definitely no way to guarantee the sanitary conditions and washing, How can a large number of people huddle together in order to live without getting sick? ”
"Then do you know who the emperor sent to take care of this matter?" After Si Si heard this, his heart couldn't help but pinch up, and he quickly asked.
"Although in the past few years, the new emperor has abolished the old calendar reform and treatment, and there have been a number of new officials in a big way, but those officials are still a group of weak scholars, all of them are afraid of death, and the emperor pointed out that no one is willing to come forward, and one by one is not shirking, his body is weak, that is, he is busy with official business." When Mianmian said this, she rolled her eyes fiercely again, and said helplessly: "I don't know who this matter will be handed over to in the end, because of these things, the master doesn't seem to be thinking about countermeasures in the study all day long!" ”
"The lord is still worried that you are worried about these things, and you won't let me tell you, I think that madam, you will know sooner or later anyway, and there is such a big fuss outside, it should be okay, why doesn't the lord let me tell you?" Mianmian was a little puzzled.
Si Si really didn't expect that there was actually this in it, "Probably Lu Yan doesn't want me to worry!" ”
"It should be!"
Si Si nodded here, and the two of them quickly put this matter aside for the time being, thinking that this fire should not burn on their own bodies, and when they wanted to be alone, at night, Lu Yan brought a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"What did you say!" After Si Si heard this, he stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he trembled a little, but he tried to maintain a calm appearance and said: "You mean that the emperor let the two children go for disaster relief, why haven't the two of them entered the court as officials?" ”
Si Si only then learned from Lu Yan's mouth that the two children, Lu Wei'an and Zhou Bowen, were actually sent by the emperor to relieve the disaster.
"Your Majesty, this also wants the two of them to quickly accumulate meritorious deeds and be promoted as soon as possible." Lu Yan patiently comforted his wife, in fact, when he first heard the news, he was also very angry, and he couldn't wait to rush to the palace to fight with the emperor, but finally suppressed his mood.
"Have you forgotten? The two children had already taken the county exam a few years ago, and they had already been admitted to the juren, and they could already have official positions in the imperial court. Lu Yan said: "If the two children can contribute to this disaster relief, it will also be a great merit to enter the Chao Tower in the future." ”
"However, these two children are still young, and so many officials in his court are reluctant to go, why please
Just against these two children? Si Si didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if something happened to these two children, or they were sick and there was no one to take care of them.
"Don't worry, I also sent a lot of people to help those two children, and I have never dared to tell you about this matter, but I am afraid that you will be worried because of this."
