Running a little way, Lan Bin saw that Lan Ling'er and Zhu Xiongying were sweating profusely and panting, and saw that they were far away from the position of the person who had just fallen to the ground, so he stopped.

"Table... Cousin, what's wrong? Running so fast? Zhu Xiongying gasped and stammered.

Lan Ling'er and the entourage guards who caught up also looked at Lan Bin for the first time, Lan Bin's strange behavior just now really made them feel like the second monk was confused.

Lan Bin has martial arts by his side, his face is not red or panting, and he said with a solemn expression: "I just saw that the fallen man had a large number of rashes and pustules on his face, and I suspected that he was infected with smallpox." ”

Smallpox!!!

The faces of everyone present changed drastically, and they all took a breath of cold air, smallpox is one of the most contagious plagues!

Since ancient times, wherever there is a plague, it will not only infect a large number of people with the plague, but also disrupt the local order, burn, kill and loot, and become a hell on earth.

Crucially, there is no effective cure for the plague, and once discovered, it can only isolate the sick and leave them to fend for themselves.

If the plague was severe, the imperial court would even take more extreme measures to isolate the source of the plague.

"Lan Gongzi, are you sure that man has smallpox? Did you read that right? ”

At this time, in the crowd near Lan Bin and the others, a man dressed as a hawker suddenly walked out, staring directly at Lan Bin and saying solemnly.

I've confirmed my eyes, and I don't know someone!

Lan Bin looked at it and vaguely guessed the identity of the person who came, but still confirmed: "Who are you?" ”

"It's... Zhang Xin, a hundred households in Jinyi, was ordered to secretly protect His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson! The visitor hesitated for a moment, turned over a waist card, and raised his voice.

Really!

I knew that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't just arrange a team of guards for Zhu Xiongying on the surface, and there must be a secret hand.

It's just that I didn't expect the disguise of these brocade guards to be so powerful, and they all followed all the way, and I didn't find out.

Lan Bin could determine his identity without looking at Zhang Xin's waist card, not to mention looking at the waist card, he couldn't help but say: "I was far away at the time, and I didn't come forward to check carefully, I'm not sure if that person was infected with smallpox!" ”

"Not sure? Then how do you say that the man has the plague? Zhang Xin didn't expect that he would expose his identity in a hurry and get such an answer.

"Do you know what suspicion is? I said I suspected the man had smallpox! ”

Lan Bin said angrily: "Besides, do you dare to bet?" ”

Zhang Xin was choked, yes! Dare to bet?

Just kidding, their mission is to protect the safety of the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Xiongying.

The man who fell to the ground didn't get smallpox, so that's it, but if it was really smallpox, and let Zhu Xiongying get closer, it would be inevitable to lose his head for this matter.

After Zhu Xiongying was infected with smallpox, there were so many people present, one of them counted as one, and they all had to be exterminated, and even punished by the nine clans.

Even if it is Lan Bin, Lan Ling'er, and the children of Yongchang Hou Lanyu, they are no exception.

No one can afford the consequences of Zhu Xiongying's accident.

Everyone else also reacted, and they all looked at Lan Bin gratefully, regardless of whether that person had smallpox or not, if Lan Bin suspected that it was smallpox, he must have some kind of evil disease.

If Zhu Xiongying is allowed to get close to that person, he will inevitably be removed from his post and investigated when he goes back, and he will even lose his head.

And Lan Bin just made a decision to take Zhu Xiongying away, which can be regarded as saving their lives.

"Alright, it's not safe here. We need to go back! ”

Lan Bin didn't care what Zhang Xin thought, he looked at the people around him, he was still a little uneasy, and hurriedly gave an order, so he took Zhu Xiongying and Lan Ling'er's hands and prepared to make a detour back to Lan Mansion.

As soon as he took two steps, he suddenly stopped, looked at Zhang Xin, a disguised brocade guard, and admonished: "Zhang Baihu, please arrange for someone to take a doctor to find out if that person is infected with smallpox." ”

"If that person is infected with smallpox, you must immediately notify the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities and Ying Tianfu, block the streets, and isolate that person. Prevent the spread of smallpox. ”

"If you don't have smallpox, please send that person to a hospice."

Speaking of nursing homes, we have to talk about the social welfare policies of Zhu Yuanzhang's era.

A few years ago, many people talked about how a certain country's social welfare is, how it is, but in fact, it is all leftovers.

As early as the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a cattle herder, truly shared the world with the people and introduced a series of social welfare policies.

Like the pension policy, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict stipulating that all localities must treat the elderly well, and requiring officials to regularly bring rice and noodles and other materials to visit and comfort the elderly.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also introduced a series of support policies, such as giving material rewards to those who respect the elderly, rewarding clothes, giving bonuses and so on.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also established free nursing homes, free medical care homes, free cemeteries and so on.

By the way, Zhu Yuanzhang also experimented with the affordable housing policy, specifically building public housing in the suburbs of Nanjing to resettle homeless and homeless homeless displaced people. It is the world's first free welfare public housing.

It's a pity that this series of social welfare policies were successfully implemented by Zhu Yuanzhang's strong hand. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, these welfare policies began to gradually fall into disuse for various reasons.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lan, I'll do it!" Zhang Xin hugged his fists.

In fact, there is no need for Lan Bin's orders, Zhang Xin also knows the seriousness of the situation.

Nanjing is the first good place in the Ming Dynasty, and it is the most populous and prosperous area in the Ming Dynasty, if there is an outbreak of smallpox plague, it will not only make the imperial court lose face, but also provoke Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous anger.

If one is not handled well, I don't know how many people will fall to the ground.

Lan Bin nodded, took Zhu Xiongying and Lan Ling'er's hands, and made a detour under the protection of the casual guards.

Zhang Xin didn't delay, turned around and faced the people around him, and recruited two Jinyi guards who were secretly protecting Zhu Xiongying, first let one of them, with the rest of the Jinyi guards, continue to secretly protect Zhu Xiongying.

He also asked another person to ask a doctor from a nearby nursing home as fast as possible to see the man who fell to the ground to determine whether it was smallpox.

And Zhang Xin himself rushed to the location of the fallen man, dispersed the crowd watching the fallen man, and squatted to see that the man's face was indeed covered with rashes and abscesses.

Apparently similar to the legendary smallpox symptoms, he quickly got up, and after further dispersing the crowd of onlookers, he stayed where he was, waiting for the doctor in the nursing home.

After waiting for tea, Zhang Xin finally waited for the doctor of the nursing home, and asked the doctor to check and confirm it as soon as possible.

The doctor examined the man carefully, checked his pulse, and suddenly leaned back, sat on the ground, and stepped back, terrified: "Smallpox, he has smallpox!" ”

Smallpox!!!

The crowd of onlookers was still watching the excitement, but when they heard these two words, they were almost frightened, and they fled backwards, and the crowded people turned on their backs.

Zhang Xin's face changed greatly, and he was also frightened and retreated, this person is really... I really got smallpox!
