Chapter 122: The Epidemic Spreads

Probably even the Jimo Emperor, who controlled the death of Li Minmin, did not expect that this epidemic would spread so widely, almost throughout the entire Jimo Continent.

At first, he just wanted the people of Tongguan Town to suffer a little, so that Jimo lost the support of the people, and let the officials of Tongguan Town return to the imperial court, so that the Jimo Party was wiped out.

But at the beginning, when the measles patients were driven to the area of Tongguan Town, I don't know when some people began to have purple red and yellow-brown patches on their bodies in addition to the rash, and some people also began to gradually lose their eyebrows and hair.

Leprosy is a deadly infectious disease in the ancient society with backward development of medicine, and most of the patients are treated centrally, just like when Jimo Lang ordered people to detain all the victims who had the epidemic, although isolation is a good means to control the further expansion of the epidemic, but it is too late, too cruel, and it will eventually make the public resist.

In the magnificent imperial palace of Chu State, two people who were chosen by heaven and were born with the posture of heaven and man talked about wine, drank three rounds, slightly smoky, and the dancers brushed their sleeves gracefully under the beat of the musician, turned around, and the highly skilled dancers could still put their feet in the palms of others and dance.

Accompanied by these singing and dancing wines, the monarch of the Feng Kingdom, who was still lobbying in the Jimo Palace a few days ago, was sitting opposite the monarch of the Chu State at this moment, and it could be seen from the faces of the two of them who were full of laughter that they were very satisfied with this conversation.

The monarch of Chu once again held the glass wine cup in front of him and bowed his hand to the monarch of Feng State, the wide robe and wide embroidery are the dragon robes of the Nine Dragons Flying Heaven that symbolize their respective identities, and the crown on the head is the crown that the monarch is qualified to wear, representing the face of the two countries.

"This cooperation is very pleasant! Chu Guojun, please! ”

"That's natural, and hopefully we can work together like this more often in the future."

The two sides took a cup and drank it all, showing the joy of the guests and hosts, and the friendship between the two countries also went to a higher level invisibly, all thanks to the temporary disgust of Jimo Emperor for Jimo.

In Tongguan Town, the soldiers defending the city are fully armed, the climate is dry and cold in winter, and the number of people out of the city is gradually decreasing, and a large number of people outside the city gate line up to accept routine inspections.

Almost all the displaced people poured into Tongguan Town, and countless people came from all over the country every day, some of them could travel long distances to reach their destinations, and some of them could not withstand the fatigue and rushed around, and died directly on the way to come.

Tongguan Town in winter is still very cold, the same as the season in the north, Tongguan Town is also covered with heavy snow, the heavy snow falls day and night, the displaced people are everywhere, the weather is cold and the ground is frozen, there is not enough food to survive the winter, and the phenomenon of freezing bones on the road can be seen everywhere in Jimo for a time.

Fortunately, the small town of Tongguan was not messed up under the leadership of Jimo Yu, unlike other places that sent urgent letters for help to the imperial court all day long, but without exception, all of them were rejected by Zhongshu Province.

Joke, there are no displaced people in the capital now, it is a blessing in misfortune, and now there are displaced people all over the country, who doesn't know the messy situation! Do you still use a letter from a local official to report it?

Otherwise, once such a large sum of money falls into the hands of bad actors, it will not only arouse the anger of the people, but will also bring the national disaster disaster to a higher level.

Emperor Jimo can't care about the headache now, he knows very well in his heart, this disaster is all caused by his own misjudgment, if he hadn't listened to the instigation of the old immortal of Feng Kingdom, how could he be in such a dilemma!

By the way, he is in a dilemma now, who made him in a dilemma? Why is he the only one in the dilemma of Emperor Mo? He wants to put all the monarchs of the six countries in a dilemma!

Emperor Jimo was suddenly shocked by his thoughts, as if he had finally found a way out in the secret jungle, and an unusually strange smile finally appeared on his face that had been full of gloom for days.

"Someone, Prince Xuan!"

The little eunuch who was waiting outside the door, listened to the emperor's instructions, hurriedly pulled his legs and ran, and arrived at the prince's mansion in one breath, and after a while, the prince strode into the palace of nourishing the heart.

"Father, you are so anxious to summon your sons, do you have any countermeasures?"

Even Mo Lang was also afraid, after all, he led the epidemic single-handedly, but who knew that it would become such an unbreakable stalemate now.

"Prince, why do you say that our father and son are here with sad faces? Why don't we let the monarchs of the six countries join us in thinking about making up for this oversight? ”

The crown prince looked at his father with a strange smile on his face, and there was a bit of joy in the weirdness, Rao is him, and he has to admire this trick that the emperor came up with, causing trouble!

"Father, do you want to spread this epidemic to neighboring countries?" The prince was also uncontrollable in his heart, and he asked tentatively.

"Isn't that possible? Presumably, there is a lot of strength in numbers, and this epidemic is fierce, why can't it be spread to other countries, this is not our Jimo's specialty. ”

At this time, Emperor Jimo no longer admitted his mistakes at all, but thought about how to let others bear the consequences of this stupidity with him.

"That's naturally excellent, Erchen will let people do it, and they will definitely not let others see anything, and the father will wait for the good news! Within a few days, a new wave of diseases will quietly emerge in these six countries. ”

After the prince left the palace, looking at the sky outside the palace seemed to be bluer, he turned his head to look at the palace gate, the deep palace gate was buried by history, and the mottled years also left a mark on it, he never thought that the father and emperor he had been hating, watching, and looking forward to were so ruthless.

The last rays of the sun hung down on the west side of the Six Kingdoms, like a heavy old man in hibernation, let the wind and rain blow outside, his dream was peaceful and peaceful, and his body was motionless.

In the following period, the defenders of Tongguan Town found that the number of displaced people was gradually decreasing, at first they just thought that because of the cold weather, a large number of people could not stand the suffering and died on the way, so fewer and fewer people could go to Tongguan Town.

But one day, the moment the city gate was opened, the soldiers were in a trance, and they lined up early here on weekdays, and many of these people couldn't enter the city until the evening, so what's wrong today? There is no one, is it the wrong way to open the city gate by yourself?

The soldier closed the city gate, and after a while he opened it carefully, but there was still no one, he panicked, ran busily, and went to report to his superiors.

The superior of the small soldier is naturally Fan Lin, who was appointed by Jimo Yu, as his name suggests, Yushu Linfeng, good at military law, calculus, and all kinds of bow and crossbow weapons.

Regardless of whether there are homeless people or not, Le Zhengyu, a big-bellied woman, can't manage so much, the hot pot restaurant she has been planning for a long time still opened as scheduled, and the celebrity horse hot pot was applauded in Tongguan Town at first.

Later, in various parts of the six countries, a shop called Liuma hot pot appeared overnight, and the people didn't know what it was doing, and the officials didn't look at it at first, after all, they were all families with specialized chefs, and the shops around them were either open or closed all day long, nothing unusual.

However, as the way of eating Liuma hot pot spreads to all directions, many people come to visit, and when they go to one place, they first have to inquire whether there is a branch of Liuma hot pot in this place, and if they say no, people will turn their heads and walk away.

Then the noble sons and young masters in the city began to spread a shop called Liuma Hot Pot, and when they returned to the mansion to play with the maids around them, they would also bring it out from time to time to talk about things, and they would definitely praise it greatly.

Once the wind of this flowing horse hot pot blows, it will not stop, what is convenient and affordable, delicious and inexpensive, the method is new, and the beautiful words full of fragrance are endless, all thanks to the publicity of the right-hand man around Le Zhengyu.

"Which restaurant are you going to eat at noon today? Let's go together! ”

"Naturally, it's the Liuma hot pot that has been in the limelight recently, and the food there is very novel, haven't you seen it? It is a raw food, you can look at it and eat it at will, and the ingredients are also matched by yourself. ”

"Really? How to eat raw food, won't you eat it to your stomach? ”

Such dialogues are staged hundreds of times a day in various places, from officials and their families to the peddlers and pawns who are reluctant to leave the restaurant on the streets.

The second is wonderful in this newly opened hotel is always fully booked, but this one is like a bottomless pit, as long as you walk to the door, you will always see the hospitable Xiao Er's face full of young smiles, and say to you, "There is a seat inside, please sit inside." ’

Fan Ye stood at the door of the private room on the second floor, looking down at his masterpiece, and his heart was full of joy.

In the first three months, when Le Zhengyu drew many drawings and sent them to Fan Ye, Fan Ye decisively chose the design that most resembled a wooden ox and a flowing horse.

After three months of his hard work, he finally made the first mechanical system of the ancient rotating small hot pot, there was no gas in ancient times, Fan Ye according to the description of Le Zhengyu's letter, made a large heating tank, as long as the central flame continues, the heat will lead to the bottom of the casserole, this is undoubtedly a great invention, as long as you go out to inquire, who does not say that this can be pushed by manpower The work is exquisite.

In front of everyone is a steaming small casserole, and on the rotating belt visible from the top is a small and delicate characteristic plate, and the inside of the plate is a variety of maid pictures, and the simple lines outline the most vivid picture, which makes the people who eat a lot better.

At the request of Le Zhengyu, the interior design of each Liuma hot pot restaurant is full of modern style of warm and concise, the walls are large murals, and in a few words, this ordinary hot pot is told to be superb, with mythical legends, the people are even more diligent.

This move completely broke the business model of the ancient restaurant tea shop, even if many restaurant owners want to follow suit, but how can such a Hongda project be completed in one or two years? What's more, others don't know who the owner of this increasingly popular Liuma hot pot restaurant is.
