Chapter 40: The North City

As soon as he arrived in Beicheng, Li Yue felt how serious the so-called plague was.

And the words of purgatory on earth are also fully manifested from the place of Beicheng.

The road was full of rotting corpses, and some wild dogs gnawing on corpses.

"I'm really hungry like this, it seems that the seriousness of the matter is beyond our imagination!"

Li Yue said with a look of astonishment.

"Young master, the city is a little better, but the outside of the city is even more terrifying, it seems that many mountains have gathered people to rebel, although the number is not large, but the situation is very serious."

Qi Tong said solemnly.

"I understand, how many people have been allocated to us by the state capital and county government now, and are there any strong men who can be used by these disaster victims? Give me the stats and schedule the task now. ”

Li Yue was unusually serious, as if he wanted to use his thunderous hand to change the decline of the entire Huangzhou Mansion.

"Young master, this matter has been investigated clearly yesterday, the number of people that the state government yamen can give us yesterday is not more than 100 people, but today there are 200 people, a total of 300 people."

Qi Tong took the recorded notebook and began to explain the situation one by one.

It seems to have all the names recorded on it, and he recorded it so carefully that Li Yue's eyes lit up.

"Very good, you are so careful to come to Japan, I will definitely have a heavy responsibility, work hard, you are all my family foundation to fight the world, don't live up to my trust."

Li Yue said meaningfully.

"Young master, don't worry, my life is given by the young master, if one day the young master needs my life, even if you say a word, I will never complain."

Qi Tong's expression was very solemn when he spoke, as if he was speaking from the heart.

Hearing this, Li Yue was also very pleased.

"What about the victims? Did you organize them? These people are a lot of money. ”

Li Yue looked around and saw some young people.

And some of the elderly, middle-aged people, seem to have died of the plague.

"Yesterday, a total of 150,000 people were counted as sick victims, covering almost the entire Huangzhou Prefecture, and now every family has a sick person."

Qi Tong said with a bitter face.

"Very good, there are so many people, it seems that Huangzhou Mansion is more difficult than the county next to it, but this is very good, with these people as a foundation, everything will be easy."

When Li Yue learned of such a large number of victims, he immediately showed a smile of relief.

"Master Li, you came here so early, I heard that you stayed up all night last night and didn't sleep, you will easily get sick if you work so hard!"

At this time, Liu Tongzhi hurriedly ran towards Li Yue, and there were more than a dozen people behind him.

"Liu Tongzhi, you came just in time, I just need someone to arrange the affairs here, the disaster here is too serious, it is necessary to carry out compulsory isolation and separate the sick from normal people."

Li Yue said very solemnly.

"Master Li, despite your orders, these people I brought are all the most capable colleagues of the Zhoufu County Government, and they are all people who are not afraid of life and death for the people."

Liu Tongzhi said very seriously.

"I really didn't expect Lord Liu to help so much, I'm really grateful, that's okay, I'll arrange these people without permission."

Li Yue said with a grateful face.

"Master Li, you can just arrange for them to do things, if I can help, you just say a word, and I will do it immediately."

Liu Tongzhi's face was also generous, as if he wanted to advance and retreat with Li Yue and go to life and death together.

And all of this was because he only knew in the morning that Li Yue and Mrs. Lu talked all night.

After the two finished talking, Lu Taishou specially transferred more than 200 people from the state capital yamen to help Li Yue fight the plague.

This caught Liu Tongzhi a little off guard, feeling that Lu Taishou definitely wanted to sell him in exchange for his own safety.

At this time, Li Yue couldn't control so much, as long as there were people, he immediately arranged everything, arranged all the people, and began to allocate the entire Beicheng District.

Half of the nearly 200,000 people of the entire northern city were infected with the plague.

The remaining half is also starving, and it is simply not possible to form effective synergies.

However, with the coordination of the personnel mobilized by Li Yue, the entire Beicheng is also carrying out the diversion of personnel in an orderly manner.

In Beicheng, in a dilapidated house on Kang'an Lane, there are only four people left in a family of seven at this time.

"Father, just let my brother go with me, if we continue like this, we will all starve to death, my mother and my two sisters are starved to death like this, do you want your two younger brothers to do the same?"

The eighteen-year-old and nineteen-year-old man said to the old man.

"Chang Yiping, I don't have a son like you, you go up the mountain to be a bandit, I won't stop you, but you can't take your two younger brothers with you, my Chang family has never been a villain."

The old man looked angry.

"Chang Xingfu, stubborn old thing, I took my two younger brothers up the mountain, that is to find a way to live, not to wait for death here, a conservative person like you will die here!"

Chang Yiping pushed his father Changxing to the ground, and then kicked the door open.

In the room, two emaciated boys saw Chang Yi's usual happy face, and seemed to be waiting for his brother to take them to the mountain.

"Big brother, let's go with you, but can we take my father with you? If we're gone, he's going to starve to death. ”

The person who spoke was Chang Yishan, the second eldest of the Chang family, who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, only a little smaller than Chang Yiping.

"It's complicated with him, this old guy is obsessed, if he goes with us, he will definitely report to the official halfway, and none of us will want to live at that time."

Chang Yiping did not hesitate and directly rejected Chang Yishan.

"Big brother, if that's the case, then you can go by yourself, my brother and I will stay behind to take care of my father, we can't watch him starve to death."

Chang Yishan's face was resolute, and he looked like he would rather die than fall, and this time Chang Yiping was so angry that his face turned pale.

"Why are you as obsessed as your father, do you really want to starve to death? How did you think about how the two younger sisters died? ”

Chang Yiping was already at a loss at this time.

He knew that his younger brother was a foolish and filial person, and he would rather die himself than watch Chang Xingfu starve to death.

"Big brother, thank you for bringing so much food to the family, but you better take this meat away, we won't eat it, I know what you eat in the mountains, we don't eat it."

Chang Yishan looked resolute, as if he was very resistant to the meat brought by Chang Yiping.

"Since you say so, it has nothing to do with me whether you are dead or alive in the future, and I won't bring back this fragrant meat, if you don't eat it, throw it away."

Chang Yiping turned around angrily and was about to leave.
