At this time, he felt that the person he brought was of no other use except for being able to limit the route he to, and for a while he remembered the personal and sensible Yue'er.

"Master Li, is there anything I can do? After all, I still have some prestige here. ”

Cao Xiancheng stepped forward and seemed to want to do something.

And Li Yue looked at him and immediately frowned.

"Cao Xiancheng, how much food and herbs can you mobilize to treat the plague now?"

Li Yue asked with a serious face.

"Huangzhou was originally a land of fish and rice, with fertile soil, and if it weren't for the plague, the amount stored would be enough for millions of people to eat for more than a year."

After Cao Xiancheng said this, Li Yue frowned.

In his opinion, in the late Ming Dynasty, there was an extreme shortage of food, and natural and man-made disasters caused all the people to become homeless, and there was no one to farm.

As soon as he heard that there was food that could feed millions of people, Li Yue felt that what Cao County said in front of him was all an exaggeration.

"You have to think clearly, just now you said that there is little money and no food, how can there be food that can feed millions of people now?"

Li Yue asked suspiciously.

"This grain is not from the government, most of it is accumulated by some rich gentry and powerful people, and we can't touch the food of these people."

Cao Xiancheng's face became very gloomy in the end, and he looked like he was helpless.

"People are going to starve to death, where can they manage so much? Go and collect food for me, and if they don't give it, throw a few dead bodies into their courtyard walls. ”

Li Yue looked resentful, in his opinion, the rich gentry and heroes in the late Ming Dynasty were definitely strange in moths.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, most of them were figures who had funded the Qing Dynasty, and each of them could be regarded as a traitor.

"But their forces are intertwined, and they all have an unshakable background, so if we do this, we are afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction with the court, and even condemn them."

Cao Xiancheng said with a bitter face.

"I tell you, if this continues, there will be no living people here, and then these people will give the food to the foreigners, to the rogues, but not to the people who are starving."

Li Yue said with a serious face.

"Lord Li, someone Cao can risk his life for these people, but you can't, you are a member of the Li family, if you do this, the forces behind them will not let go of the Li family."

Cao Xiancheng said bitterly.

"I arrange for you to do things, just do it, everything will be pushed on me, I tell you, I only need food now, and I haven't asked for their lives yet, and I won't be so polite when I want their lives."

Li Yue knew that if he wanted to save Huangzhou Mansion, he must have a rich food base.

If there is nothing to eat, even if they are cured, they will starve to death.

Hearing this, Cao Xiancheng was also moved.

didn't say a word of nonsense anymore, and directly arranged for people to follow him to the local big households to ask for food.

In three days, Li Yue arranged for people to place all the sick and dead people in the deep pit prepared in advance outside the city, and directly set the pit on fire with kerosene and dry firewood.

One by one, the dead were thrown into deep pits, and the method of fire was used to prevent the corpses from transmitting the virus.

At the same time, the organization began to carry out large-scale disinfection.

During the three busy days, Gao Wu, who was originally very strong, lost weight and his face was extremely ugly.

At this moment, Li Yue and his people were in the county government office, carrying out pharmaceutical and overall planning work, and he was also a little surprised to see Gao Wu in a trance.

"Gao Wu, what's wrong with you? How does it look like this? ”

Li Yue asked with a puzzled expression.

"Young master, I have been feeling dizzy and weak in my limbs recently, am I also experiencing symptoms?"

Gao Wu said worriedly.

Hearing this, Li Yue didn't say anything, stepped forward to check Gao Wu's pulse, looked at the fundus of his eyes and tongue, and saw that there were no symptoms, so he was relieved.

"You just haven't slept enough, go back and arrange manpower, just follow the method I practiced to prevent the plague, and you don't have to worry about the rest, go back and rest!"

Li Yue looked at Gao Wu's appearance, and felt a little guilty in his heart.

Originally, the two had been arguing about the route on the road, but at this time, they saw his behavior of saving people without fear of life and death.

"Okay, young master, I'll take a rest, recover my spirits and continue, but Cao Xiancheng's side seems to be a little stagnant, now we can use thousands of people, but the food is not enough."

Gao Wu said with a solemn face.

"This Cao County, although there is a little bit of the style of a countryman, but it still lacks the strength to do things decisively!"

Li Yue dropped the work in his hand and immediately walked towards the place where Cao Xiancheng was.

At this time, out of the county office, Li Yue rode a war horse and went straight to the mansion of Liu Renyi, the richest man in the county.

At this time, Cao Xiancheng was still knocking at the door of the mansion, and no one paid attention to him at all.

After Li Yue, who arrived at the scene, dismounted, he walked forward helplessly.

"Master Li, why are you here?"

Cao Xiancheng asked with a puzzled expression.

"Why didn't the door open? How much food have you raised in the past three days? ”

Li Yue asked with a gloomy face.

"My lord, I am incompetent, and I have only raised 500 stone of grain in the past three days, which is only enough for the current maintenance."

Cao Xiancheng said with a guilty face.

"Lord County, you don't have to call me an adult every day, I came here to let the people here live, not to be an official here."

Li Yue didn't say anything, just looked at Cao Xiancheng with a look of resentment, and at the same time took out the saber on his waist and slashed at the gate.

The gate of Liu's house is very heavy, and a knife only leaves a knife mark.

"Lord Li can't help it, Liu Renyi, their ancestors are the branch of the first assistant Liu Jian."

Cao Xiancheng said with a panicked face.

"A Shoufu who was dismissed from his official position and died is so powerful, you really take these people seriously, come, chisel the door for me, this door is good, use it as firewood."

Li Yue commanded the people below, and immediately began to dig a hole in the gate of Liujia with an axe and a knife.

As soon as the door was chiseled open, the door opened from the inside out, and more than a dozen big men rushed out.

Everybody is murderous, and none of them look like they're easy to mess with.

"Bold, do you know that this is our Liu family, and if you dare to chisel our door, you are simply looking for death."

A big man in the lead was holding a scimitar and looked at Li Yue as he rushed forward with hatred on his face.

The scimitar in his hand also raised Lao Gao, looking at the posture, he was about to use the force to split Huashan and kill Li Yue with one sword.

"Bang!"

Li Yue casually took out the firearm he was carrying, and a shot directly hit the eyebrows of the big man.

made the people who were still fierce and vicious immediately wilted.
