Chapter 048: There Will Be Demons (8)
The celebration of Yuanchen was not as grand as Zhang Shuo imagined, a group of people stood on the street and cheered a few times, congratulating each other on being one year older, in this era, people's average life expectancy is about 50~60 years old, so every year old is a very worthy of congratulations.
When the soup cart arrived at the corner of the street, the people returned to their usual appearance, but the county town was also prepared for this, and today's corn porridge was changed to minced meat, which made everyone happy for a while.
Not long after the soup kitchen, Zhang Shuo was about to enter the camp to inspect the work of his subordinates, when a servant came to him, and the official informed Zhang Shuo that the Wu County Order invited him to discuss important matters.
Zhang Shuo came to the county office with doubts, and saw Wu Pei with a haggard face in the lobby.
"Why did the county lord summon the late students to come?" Zhang Shuo looked at the sleepy Wu County Order in the hall and asked.
"En?" Wu Pei raised his eyelids with some difficulty, and when he saw Zhang Shuo in the hall, he suddenly came back to his senses, "It turned out that Dr. Zhang had arrived, cough cough! That, the deity summoned Dr. Zhang, just to ask, can the disaster camp in the west of the city be removed?"
"Back to adults, although the epidemic has been basically controlled now, it is better to observe for a few more days for the sake of insurance. Zhang Shuo replied truthfully based on the information about the plague he had received in the past few days.
"This ......" Wu Pei said with some embarrassment, "Doctor Zhang, the deity wants to ask, if the disaster camp is removed today, will there be another plague in the county?"
"Why does the county have to remove the disaster camp today?" Zhang Shuo asked rhetorically, in his opinion, of course, the later the disaster camp is withdrawn, the safer it is, but when he saw the embarrassed look on Wu Pei's face, his heart immediately moved, "Do you have something unspeakable?"
"Alas!" Wu Pei sighed and said, "It's not a secret, the deity doesn't say that you can know sooner or later......"
After listening to Wu County's narration, Zhang Shuo understood why this county leader was in a hurry to remove the disaster camp.
The cause of everything was the flood in Yiyang County, late at night, the flood burst the embankment, more than 100,000 people were displaced, and only a few people ran to Hecang County, and most of the people who were affected by the flood still remained in Yiyang County.
Since there is a plague in Hecang County, there is no reason why Yiyang County should not appear, but Yiyang County Taishou does not have the courage of Wu Pei, after learning that there is a plague in the territory, not only did he not take measures, but packed up his belongings and ran away!
The boss of a county has run away, and the officials below have not done the same? That's a plague! If you get it, you will die, and there is no cure!
The officials of Yiyang County have fled, leaving only the affected people of a county, without the rule of the imperial court, chaos is rampant among these victims, if nothing else, the plague spreads, and hundreds of thousands of people have to die!
It was at this time that a man named Ma Shun appeared among the victims, who first instigated the victims to attack the city, robbed the grain in the treasury, and then gathered a large number of young people to form an army of displaced people.
Ma Shun did not have Zhang Shuo's method of treating the plague, and the measures he took were very violent, that is, to burn all the people who suffered from the plague, and found that one burned to death!
Not to mention, through this method, the plague was really suppressed, which also made Ma Shun gain a lot of fame, and countless victims came to vote, and in just a few days, the army of displaced people under his command has exceeded 100,000!
The reason why these people are called homeless is because they are homeless, Ma Shun led these homeless armies to urge the city to break Guo in Yiyang County, plundered everywhere, and also carried the people, causing more and more homeless people, unstoppable!
This is already an obvious rebellion, originally a rebellion like this can be easily put down with only 20,000 Western troops, but at this time, Shi You rebelled, how could the imperial court dare to use the Western Army again?
As for the government soldiers of Yiyang County, they fled with the county guard when they ran away, and it is said that most of them fled to Guangyuan, preparing to do a great job with the former robe.
As a result, without the checks and balances of officers and soldiers, Ma Shun easily developed in Yiyang County, and now the general trend has become even more difficult, and it is even more difficult to exterminate!
Why do you want to say so much? That's because Yiyang County is next to Nanyang County, and Nanyang County guards estimate that when Ma Shun robs Yiyang County clean, it is very likely that he will come to Nanyang County to make trouble!
So today, Wu Pei got a warrant from the Nanyang County Guard, saying that he would recall the government soldiers stationed in the county seat, and asked Hecang County to hand over 3,000 stone of grain for the purpose of the war.
Wu Pei did not dare to disobey the order of the county guard, and as soon as the soldiers of this government withdrew, who should the disaster camp look for to watch? Moreover, there was not much grain in the county storehouse, and now that he handed over 3,000 stones, I am afraid that it would not be enough for the victims to eat.
For the sake of today's plan, the only way to do this is to remove the disaster victims, otherwise these people who eat white food will not be able to support the county at all.
Indeed, there are now more than 4,000 people in the entire disaster-stricken camp, and they have to eat more than 300 stone of grain in a day, and the original grain in the county storehouse is less than 10,000 stone, and after the consumption of the past few days, there are still more than 5,000 stone left.
Zhang Shuo thought for a while, now most of the people in the disaster camp have basically no symptoms of disease, only a few dozen old people are very weak and still need follow-up treatment, but these dozens of people are handed over to those subordinates of the Jishi Association to take care of, it should not be a problem.
"It'......s not impossible to revoke the disaster camp now," Zhang Shuo pondered for a while, and said slowly, "But if you find someone infected, you must treat it as soon as possible, otherwise the plague is likely to return." ”
"Then I'm going to bother Dr. Zhang!" Wu Pei was immediately relieved when he heard this, and said to Zhang Shuo with a smile.
Zhang Shuo returned to the camp and told his subordinates about the imminent removal of the Wu County Order, and then asked them to go to the camp to publicize it.
At first, the victims in the camp were a little skeptical, but when the garrison soldiers were evacuated, these people finally reacted and they were free!
More than half of the victims in the camp fled from Yiyang County, and the rest were residents of the county.
At first, after these residents were sent to the disaster camp after the plague, they thought they were going to die, but they didn't expect that in the end, they not only survived, but also reunited with their families again!
When the residents of the city learned that the camp had been removed, they came to look for their relatives, and when these people and their relatives were reunited at the corner of the street, they all hugged their heads and cried, and the scene made Zhang Shuo's eyes red.
The plague in the county was basically solved, although there were still some small tails, but Zhang Shuo finally had free time, and Wu County ordered Zhang Shuo to find a small courtyard by the street in the city, so Zhang Shuo lived in the county seat.
After eating and cultivating, and then eating after cultivating, just when Zhang Shuo thought that his life was about to return to its previous tranquility, two days later, Wu San rushed into his courtyard gate with a panicked face......
