Chapter 161 - Accepting the Displaced People
Li Xing hurriedly asked everyone to get up.
Who knew that these people still couldn't afford to kneel.
Among them was a man dressed as a scholar, who seemed to be the first of them.
Raising his head, he looked at Li Xing by the moonlight and said: "Xiaomin and others, thank you for taking them in, but my family members are still outside the tent, and many of them have smallpox plague, I don't know if what the adults said during the day is true?" Can I take them in? After the leader finished speaking, the people below looked at Li Xing one after another.
Everyone's eyes were full of apprehension and anticipation.
They were worried that Li Xing would refuse, but they also hoped that what they heard during the day was true.
"Naturally, it's true, Your Majesty learned that the White Lotus Sect thieves were coercing the people, and he has been worried about your safety, so he sent the prince as the main general, who would have been the deputy general, to come to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, and saving you is equal to fire and water."
Li Xing gave an affirmative answer, and then said to a deputy commander of the guard holding a torch behind him: "You go and arrange people, inform the gang leader to cook food for a thousand more people overnight, arrange another camp, give the people rest, inform the marching army Langzhong, work overtime tonight, treat all the people, and don't let the people lose their lives because smallpox is not treated in time." ”
"Yes, sir."
The deputy commander hurriedly answered.
Then he saluted Jiang Hong again, and then left to make arrangements.
When these people heard that it was true, they did not dare to accept them, and they really gave treatment to their families.
Sure enough, the court was good to them, the common people.
It's not like the traitors of the White Lotus Sect, who said it nicely, they were really sick, not only did they detain them in solitary condition, but they also didn't give them food, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Tonight was even more hateful, and the families of their plagues were also arrested and driven out of the city together.
So these people kowtowed again and shouted Long live Your Majesty, long live the Prince, and Long live Lord Li.
In short, in their hearts, only by shouting long live can they express their gratitude at this time.
This scared Li Xing enough to stop them.
Jiang Hong didn't think much about it, and even thought that this group of people was very cute.
I even sat down with these people and started chatting.
Li Xing was the same, but Li Xing was sitting next to the man in a tattered robe.
After questioning, I found out that he was a showman.
It is outside Hedong City, Guojiazhuang's family, called Guo Yuanzi Boyan.
He didn't believe in the White Lotus Sect, but the people of the White Lotus Sect heard that he was a talent and a little famous in the local area, so they directly kidnapped him.
This time, it was his wife and children who contracted smallpox.
The White Lotus cultists feared that he had been infected, so they drove him out of the city along with his wife and children.
"I didn't expect that it would be rude to show off my talents."
After Li Xing finished speaking, he got up and saluted Guo Xiucai.
This move can flatter Guo Xiucai.
He knelt down to Li Xing again and said: "My lord, it is a great kindness to be able to accept the students' families and these poor people, and it is also our benefactor. "The most respected thing by this official is talent, you hurry up."
Li Xing hurriedly helped Guo Yuan Guo Xiucai.
The others were also relieved to see that Li Xing was so polite.
The atmosphere at the scene was much better.
Through chatting, Guo Xiucai introduced the situation in the city very logically.
Some he couldn't remember, others consciously added to it.
Sure enough, as Li Xing and Jiang Hong guessed.
Hedong City was occupied without a battle, and even when they entered the city, the city gates were opened by the officers and soldiers defending the city, and they were given a place to live in the city for these displaced people. Of course, in the process of chatting, Li Xing also told everyone about the possible adverse reactions of vaccination, so that everyone should not panic.
And handed over these people to Guo Xiucai to manage.
The first is to try Guo Xiucai's ability, and the second is to prevent that if there is a spy among them, it can also be discovered as soon as possible.
After all, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people.
To show concern for these people, of course.
Li Xing and Jiang Hong did not sleep that night.
However, when introducing Jiang Hong, Li Xing just said that he was the prince, and when he introduced himself, he was naturally his full name.
Li Xing needs prestige.
So after a night of hard work, his reputation increased by 50,000 again.
Combined with a few other scattered reputations, his total reputation now reaches 900,000.
This made Li Xing extremely excited, at this rate, I am afraid it will not take a few days to break through the million mark.
Of course, Li Xing and the others will not stop propaganda just because these people have come to take refuge.
Flyers and trumpets continued the next day.
……
Inside the city of Hedong.
Doge's Palace.
The White Lotus Sect Master, the Governor of Hedong, and the Admiral of Hedong gathered again.
The Admiral of Hedong handed over the secret music he received to the other two this time.
While the two of them were watching, Wu Yi, the governor of Hedong, spoke: "According to the report from the dead soldiers we have planted in them, the prince and that Li Xing have all accepted those displaced people, arranged a separate camp for them, and treated them. ”
"Something is a little tricky? If this is true, we may not be able to defend this city! ”
The White Lotus Sect Leader didn't get angry this time, nor did he speak, but just looked at Haicheng, the governor of Hedong.
Hai Cheng looked at the contents of the note, thought for a long time, and then said: "I don't believe that they really have a way to solve the epidemic, you see, the place where the military camp is located and the place where they live for the displaced people are not together, and the people who manage the displaced people do not have their people, but let Guo Xiucai lead a group of villagers to maintain order." ”
"Obviously, they are also worried about the spread of the epidemic, and they don't know the seriousness of the epidemic, so they will take such self-deceptive measures, I think tonight, we can continue to release people, so that the epidemic can spread to them faster."
"Lord Hai, what you say is reasonable."
White Lotus Sect Leader Chen Xiulian felt that what Hai Cheng said was reasonable.
This is how they first resorted to preventing the spread of the disease, but later found that it was ineffective.
"Sect Leader Chen, although those hundreds of people were driven out of the city, but there was news from Xicheng this morning, and many people were infected, plus I don't know who leaked the news, and now the whole city is panicking, do you still do the exorcism Dharma the day after tomorrow?"
Since the two reached an agreement, Admiral Wu did not continue to talk about the matter.
Instead, I took out another thing that I had been reported this morning and asked the two of them how to solve it.
In his opinion, the panic in the city is the biggest hidden danger.
It is much more troublesome than the imperial army attacking the city.
