In recent days, although Qiao An snatched out the soldiers locked in the dungeon, he successfully moved into the county government to take office. But when he first arrived, it took a lot of effort to understand the situation and win people's hearts.

Now that there is an accident on the side of the cottage, it is obviously the best time to attack. However, the soldiers who had just recovered their vitality were very timid, and invited the generals to come over to discuss, and the generals only said: "The fatigue of the officers and soldiers is not the best time to go to war." Moreover, the people do not trust the government, and there is no way to estimate the variables. The top priority at the moment should be to prosper the economy and stabilize the order, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"There is truth to this, so do you have any good advice on the way to a prosperous economy and a stable order?" Joan and the book in front of him looked up at the general's eyes seriously, waiting for him to answer.

The military general clenched his fists and bowed his head, and said in a deep voice: "The subordinates are rough people, who know a little about layout and warfare, but they don't know anything about the rule of officials. I can't share my worries with adults, and I ask you to forgive your sins. ”

He couldn't find anything wrong with his words, but he was definitely not satisfied with Qiao An and West Fire City.

Not to mention, he has lived in Xihuo City for more than 20 years, and he will always have some opinions of his own when he coldly looks at the successive officials governing Xihuo. But now he is pushing two, five or six, which is really chilling.

Qiao An stretched out his hand and took the hot tea to drink, sipped it lightly, and then said with a hearty smile: "You may not know very well, but you always know how the successive county orders made the people feel cold." Pick up representative things and tell me, so that I can know how to appease the people. ”

The military general suddenly knelt down on one knee, hugged his fist at Qiao An and said: "People have their own division of labor, and subordinates have always been responsible for city defense and public security; I didn't ask about the affairs of the prefectural magistrate, but I couldn't answer the questions of the adults, and I asked the adults to atone for their sins. ”

At this point, the fool knew that the other party had other thoughts, and he was unwilling to give advice to Qiao An to revitalize Xihuo together.

Qiao An looked at him with the teacup for a long time, and finally just waved his hand to let him retreat.

Not long after, Guard Zhang, who had gone out to inquire about the news, came back. The master led him back to report: "The gate of the cottage is closed, and few people enter and leave. It is to go in and out, and it is also to buy necessary daily necessities. The patrol is more detailed and dense than before, and the sound of drills inside is more dense than usual. ”

"What about the doctor? Any explanation? ”

"For the time being, I haven't found out the news, and now that the entire cottage is under martial law, it is not as convenient for the second leader to come out as before."

Qiao An's brows furrowed tightly, his heart fluttered, and he was always worried that the star fruit was not good.

"If something happens to the cottage, it's a good time to send troops now." The master took out the city defense map and the layout map of the cottage collected these days, and unfolded it for Zhang Guards to come over and see: "Leave 1,000 soldiers to defend the city, and the remaining 2,000 soldiers will be handed over to you, can you be sure of winning the battle?" ”

Guard Zhang shook his head: "Without reliable news from the second master, no one knows what the situation is inside." Not to mention that it may be a copycat trick to lure the enemy, even if it really encounters a big event, it may not hurt the fundamentals. We can call 3,000 people at full capacity, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers on the side of the cottage. ”

The master turned his head to look at Qiao An, wanting him to have an idea: "Although the second master is his wife's cousin, the big boss has a life-saving grace for him, and he himself has lived in the mountain bandit's den for four or five years. This kind of matter of life and death, who knows if his thoughts will change. ”

Zhang Guards saw Yang Pan, and even retorted: "If the second master is not sincere, he should have been tied up and sent to the cottage when he caught the adult, or he would have simply killed him with a knife, why do you need to change your mind now and go out to fight with us?" ”

"The human heart is fickle ......"

The two were arguing, and Guard Zhou walked in with a solemn face: "There is a plague over there in the cottage, and Mrs. went to the back mountain where the disaster was most serious without permission. The second master hopes that you can cooperate with the cottage to fight the plague recently, relax the inventory at the city gate, and be tolerant of the mountain bandits who enter the city to purchase medicines. ”

As he spoke, he took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Joan, and stepped aside.

When she heard that the star fruit had gone to danger by herself, Qiao An's heart had already been raised. He endured his temperament and read Yang Pan's handwritten letter, and his brows became more and more entangled: "Plague? ”

Although none of the people present had ever experienced the plague, most of them had heard of the horror of the plague. As soon as these two words came out, everyone's hearts trembled.

"What now? If the plague is not well controlled, I am afraid that countless deaths and injuries will be lost. ”

"It's not good to say that the lives of adults have been roasted on the fire." The master looked at Qiao An's eyes worriedly, and sighed: "There is news from Beijing, the prince has eliminated dissidents in the court. I'm afraid that the news of the plague has just come out here, and the people who ask for the crime and behead them are even on the way. ”

"Let's not talk about it first, it's the right thing to treat the plague with peace of mind."

Qiao An set the current focus of work, and then ordered: "Go to the surrounding counties and cities to collect doctors and medicinal materials." Zhang Bang informed the people about the plague, and every day at the gate of the city, a large pot of preventive medicine was set up at the gate of the city and distributed to the people for free consumption. ”

The master was embarrassed: "The warehouse of the Xihuo County Ya was moved to the cottage by the mountain bandits, how can we have spare money now?" ”

"Get out of my private room first." Qiao An looked resolute, took out his private key and threw it to the master: "These are naturally not enough, but the fief of the third prince is in Jinju, and now someone should be there to support it." If you ask for help with my private seal, you can ask for some silver taels. Even if two pieces of silver are rare, you can ask the three princes to find a way to borrow some silver and materials in the surrounding counties and cities first. ”

"The top can regard the third prince as a thorn in the side, don't you tell the prince that there is a plague here with such fanfare?"

"Originally, it was supposed to go to the court." Qiao An disagreed: "It's good that the plague is under control, if you can't control it for a while, and don't reach out to the court, who can help the people get through the difficulties?" ”

"But the prince ...... you"

"Where can you take care of so much?" Qiao An glanced at the master unhappily and ordered: "This matter can't be delayed, hurry up and do it." ”

The master still wanted to persuade, but the two guards looked at Qiao An's face and pulled the person out tightly.

Qiao An stamped back and forth in the house with her hands behind her back, and only after a long time did she stand still in front of the city defense and the layout plan of the cottage, frowning and carefully examining it.

He was frowning here, and the star fruit was also very unsatisfactory in the back mountain.

Thousands of people who were seriously ill, ill, and not yet sick were divided into three teams. At this point, star fruit knew the seriousness of the matter.

Of the 5,472 people who had been imprisoned, only 4,780 remained. Among them, nearly 1,000 are seriously ill and dying, and nearly 2,000 have already become ill. The remaining more than 1,000 people looked intact, but no one could say whether they were infected with the virus or not.

At this moment when the number of people was counted and placed in different categories, two more people died.

Everyone looked at the star fruit helplessly, and there was a strong desire to survive in their eyes. The people who could still stand up knelt in front of the star fruit one after another, and pleaded earnestly: "Doctor Yang, we don't want to die, please save us." ”

Carambola couldn't stand such a big gift, so she pulled the people nearby up in a panic: "I'll do my best, don't do this, everyone." ”

She tried her best, but she couldn't pull people up.

Everyone solemnly kowtowed to her and swore: "If I can live, I will repay the doctor as a cow and a horse." ”

The star fruit persuaded for a long time, and finally persuaded everyone.

But looking at so many people lying on the ground, she was already desperate before she could take the pulse: she was alone, she couldn't just check the pulse, how could she research an effective medicine to save their lives?

The worst thing is not that she can't be busy, but that she doesn't have any available medicine at hand. With just a set of silver needles, how could such a serious illness be cured?

No matter how difficult it is, you have to live a life, and you have to think of a way.

By the time she pacified these people, Zhou Huazi had already led people to bury the bodies and clean up the messy environment.

"Does this really work?" He didn't know the bottom of his heart, and his eyes were full of worry when he looked at the star fruit: "In the past, the people in the cottage didn't allow us to walk around, and in order to deter us, we were not allowed to bury the corpses." I believe the plague comes from those rotting corpses, but can it really be cleaned up now that people will no longer be contaminated? ”

"You arrange to go out with me in the evening." Star fruit did not answer his question, but solemnly ordered: "We must find a few more doctors, and we must get a large number of medicinal herbs." Otherwise, no one can save us. ”

Zhou Huazi couldn't believe it, looking at the star fruit, he knew that the star fruit had a waist card to enter and exit the back mountain. But in his heart, it should be the last life-saving object of star fruit, a weapon that will only be used when he escapes.

But now, she said it to her own face, as if she were talking about the weather.

"What are you doing?" Carambola shook her hand in front of him, frowned, and said, "Hurry up and make arrangements, we must not let everyone notice that we are leaving." Otherwise, the heart that has only stabilized will be chaotic again. I don't have the ability to take everyone out, and even if I could, now is not the time to go out. Maybe we're all sick, and we're running around and maybe we're going to pass it on to someone. ”

Zhou Huazi came back to her senses and hurriedly arranged the rest of the matter.

But after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back at the star fruit and asked, "You can run when you can run, why are you waiting here for death with everyone?" Are you really not afraid of death? ”

Speaking of death, star fruit immediately thought of his father and mother's relatives, and finally fixed in his mind the worried eyes when he was separated from Qiao An.

"Is there anyone in this world who is not afraid of death?" Carambola smiled lightly, and after being silent for a long time, she said firmly: "I'm afraid of death, but I'm a doctor who kowtowed in front of the medicine king." I'm a doctor, so there's no reason to leave a patient and run for his life alone. ”

Zhou Huazi looked at the eyes of the star fruit seriously, and looked at his own eyes and moistened.

How many doctors in the world have not kowtowed in front of the medicine king, and how many doctors have not made an oath to try their best to save the dead and help the wounded? But in the end, how many people really think about the patient?

Everything depends on the character of each man.

I thought that there was no way to do the cottage, but when Zhou Huazi followed the star fruit to the front cottage, looking at the piles of medicinal herbs and the groups of doctors there, the whole heart cooled.

He couldn't help but pull out the saber on his waist, but fortunately, the star fruit held his hand first, shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient!" ”
