It was similar to what Li Changhui knew from the prefect's mouth before, but in addition, Shopkeeper Liu also brought a letter, saying that his master had asked to hand it over to Li Changhui and Lin He in person.

Although the two of them were strange, they still opened it and looked at it, and this time they looked at it, and they instantly became serious.

The letter is not Jinrong's handwriting, and I think Jinrong should be a messenger, after all, the letter from the capital can not be sent to Guanzhou Mansion so quickly.

What's more, there are many things that need to be passed back and investigated, so that they can be told, and then look at the pen and ink on this letter, it seems that it was written new in the past two days.

And the content of the letter also shocked the two even more, which actually wrote the source of this plague.

The main accident was the most lively market, in addition to Guanzhou, there was another county town that survived.

The Yongfeng trading house in that county town was inspected when they entered the city, and the guards at the city gate felt that there was something wrong with the corpses and forbade them to enter the city.

Early the next morning, when he received an urgent order from the prefect, he again found the person who was discussing how to secretly send the body to the Yongfeng Trading House in the city, and burned the body.

However, a few other cities were not so lucky, they were the corpses infected with the plague, which were disguised and put in the most lively bazaars, and by the time the prefects and other prefects received the news, some were even two or three days later.

It was not only the people in the county town who were infected with the plague, but also some people who came to the market and brought the plague back to the village.

It can be said that there are heavy deaths.

And the source of those corpses has also been investigated, and it is indeed from outside the gate.

Last year's snow disaster, the more north of Da'an Dynasty suffered a snow disaster, many people died, and in the spring of the new year, the ice and snow melted, and the corpses were not well disposed of, piled up, and the plague broke out.

I don't know which one suffered a thousand knives, but I actually let people who had just been infected with the plague and were not particularly serious come to Da'an to see the doctor with the people of the Yongfeng caravan.

To say that Yongfeng Commercial Bank was also unlucky, it was just kind at first, and when it entered the customs, it was already on the thief ship when it was known that those people were infected with the plague.

In fact, at that time, if the manager of Yongfeng Commercial Bank had reported the matter directly to the official, and isolated and treated everyone in time, perhaps there would have been no follow-up.

Unfortunately, no, the steward was afraid of being charged with the crime, so he did not grow this matter, and the enemy country used this as a handle to threaten the steward of Yongfeng Commercial Bank, and sent the dead patient all the way to the hinterland of the Da'an Dynasty.

What the prefect and shopkeeper Liu know is just scratching the surface.

What they don't know is that in addition to the counties where the plague was placed, further north, the plague had already begun to break out a month ago, but the news was blocked, and it had not spread until now.

There is only one word in the letter: caution.

Lin He instantly thought of a word in his mind: be cautious in words and deeds.

Li Changhui folded the letter and put it back in the envelope: "This is written by the second child, he should be not far from the Guanzhou Mansion to deliver the letter so quickly." ”

Lin He said in his heart Sure enough, although she didn't ask, but thinking about Li Changhui's original name Xie Jinyan, it was not impossible for her younger brother to call Xie Shenxing.

Li Changhui looked at Shopkeeper Liu: "Trouble Shopkeeper Liu to go on a trip in person, Shopkeeper Liu rest assured, we will not leave for the time being until the plague outside is completely subsided, you can rest assured to go home to do business." ”

They also saw that Shopkeeper Liu was here, mainly worried that they would leave suddenly and what would happen, and it was estimated that he would also confess to him.

Shopkeeper Liu quickly left with interest, and Li Changhui sighed lightly: "It's only been stable for a few years." ”

Lin He patted Li Changhui's arm: "Actually, it's normal, didn't you say it before?" There has been a small friction at the border pass, and there were many snowstorms in Da'an last year, but because of the sufficient food, they were rescued in time. ”

"Other places are envious and jealous, and they can't beat and rob, so they can only use this kind of subordinate."

Li Changhui shook his head: "I don't know this, but after all, so many people still died." ”

originally thought that this plague had killed tens of thousands of people, which was already heart-wrenching, but they didn't expect that in fact, the number of deaths was far more than they knew.

Fortunately, Li Changhui quickly adjusted his emotions.

"Fortunately, in recent years, the country and the people have been safe, and the imperial court has sufficient food reserves, if it were changed to before, it is estimated that more people will die after the snow disaster."

"Dad, have there been snow disasters before?"

When Shopkeeper Liu hadn't left just now, the three children were also pretending to read books nearby, but they were actually listening to their conversation.

Lin He doesn't have the idea that children shouldn't listen to things like they can't listen, as long as it's not a pickled thing, it's actually good for children to know it early.

What's more, there are some things that are better to know and wake up early than to understand them after hitting walls everywhere.

But the children, even Ang Li is very sensible, listens to it, and will not interject indiscriminately, and only after Shopkeeper Liu left, did he start asking his father.

Hearing Li Changhui talk about the previous snow disaster, he couldn't help but be curious.

He's still young, he's grown so big, and he was so excited to see snow last year.

Now I know that there are many people who have died because of the heavy snow, and I can't help but be a little shocked.

Li Changhui nodded: "Snow disasters are very common in the north, but last year seemed to be the largest snow disaster in recent decades since records began, so there were deaths." ”

Li An continued to be shocked: "It's so serious, what if we go to the capital and encounter a snow disaster again?" ”

Asked, even he himself became worried.

He was not even ten years old, and he hadn't lived long enough, but he didn't want to freeze to death early.

Even for a moment, he didn't want to go to the capital.

The little guy didn't know how to hide his expression at all, and it was amusing to see his father and his two brothers.

Li Changhui gave a rare warmth and rubbed the little guy's head.

"Don't worry, if it was hundreds of years ago, a snow disaster might have starved people to death, but now it is rare."

As soon as Li Changhui said this, several other people became curious, even Lin He.

Seeing this, Li Changhui explained: "According to the book, there were very few things that could be eaten in the Da'an Dynasty in the past, and later a senior went out to sea and brought a lot of edible food from outside. ”

"For example, the corn and sweet potatoes we eat now, as well as some vegetable seeds, are all brought back from outside."

"Especially sweet potatoes, the yield is very high, and they can be put for a year or two when made into vermicelli, and the imperial court has more grain reserves, and naturally the soldiers and horses are strong, and the people are stable, and it is easier to survive disasters."

Lin He immediately remembered: "Yes, you said before, it is the noble girl of the capital, very powerful!" ”

That's a time-traveler senior!

She almost forgot.

All in all, that senior brought a lot of things back from overseas outside the Kannones, enriching the dining table of the Da'an Dynasty and enriching the granary of the Da'an Dynasty.
