"This ......," Wei Guan's face turned pale. This is a problem that this government and Lord Ru have also thought about. ”

"It's just that whether there is a plague or not, this is not something that can be controlled by man. It is destiny! ”

"If the plague comes, the refugees piled up outside the city and a wall will not be able to isolate the plague...... Moreover, although the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is not as cold as in the north, it should be ...... It won't form a plague, will it? ”

"How not?" Zhu Su frowned deeply. He was young and quick-eyed, and he had seen a woman come out of a shantytown, take a bucket and scoop a bucket of water from the puddle at the door, and go back into the house.

In the rancid smell, he also discerned some unpleasant smells, thinking that there were no special dung trucks to transport filth, and the refugees buried the filth everywhere, or even discarded it casually in the open streets......

"Is the plague a destiny? It's man-made. Is there any reason to say that the destiny of heaven is not done? "It's rare for Zhu Su to make a face to Wei Guanban." It's so sloppy here, according to the king, before the spring of next year, you dragged these refugees to build the dam. ”

"Here, there is going to be a plague, and all those victims are involved!"

Wei Guan was a little aggrieved. He Suzhou Prefecture has allocated manpower and food on weekdays, and it has taken a lot of effort to help these victims. Even with Ru Taisu, the two of them pulled down their old faces and went to "fight the autumn wind" to those businessmen in the city, which ensured that the tens of thousands of victims who defected to Suzhou Mansion on this side still had a mouthful of porridge and rice in the disaster year.

He also knew that the victims were sloppy and feared the disease. However, the government has so many people, and he has sent more officials to maintain law and order here and prevent the victims from coming into contact with other people, and he, the prefect, has done his best.

Even the dung pickers in the city are reluctant to approach the west city here, and he, the prefect, can do anything to clean up the sanitation here? That's it, he is often angry at both ends, and he is slandered by his officials, and he is blamed by the ordinary people in the city!

Moreover, although all the people here are victims of the disaster, in all fairness, the conditions are much better than most of the villages in the former Yuan period. At the very least, everyone will still have a bowl of gruel to drink every day. And speaking of sloppy places, many rural places at that time, why weren't they also as sloppy?

"Amitabha, Your Highness should not be harsh on the Governor of Wei." But it was Yao Guangxiao, who came with Zhu Su, who interceded for Wei Guan. "The victims here are not noisy when they see us, although they are emaciated but they are not starving, which shows that they still have porridge and rice for relief."

"The poor monks used to travel and saw the disaster relief in the Yuan period. It is extremely rare to receive relief like the prefect of Wei and Ru Yushi. ”

"Even if you let the adults of the Ministry come here, I am afraid that there is no way to blame. If it is written to His Majesty, he can't boast of being a capable official. ”

"This ...... This ......" Zhu Su was shocked.

That's it? A group of people in disaster relief have yellow faces and thin muscles, this is called a capable officer? Zhu Su did not expect the disaster relief in the Ming Dynasty to be like in later generations, with boats and truckloads of supplies sent to the disaster area, volunteers supporting in all directions, and soldiers being like dragons......

However, you can't just keep the victims in such a hellish place and ignore them, just barely "hanging" a life, you can be called a "competent official", right?

What he didn't know was that in the world just a few years ago, "living" was already the greatest luxury of many people in China......

"This won't work!"

Zhu Su felt that one of his heartstrings had been touched. Although he was not a soldier before the crossing, he did not have the opportunity to be a volunteer.

But he also enthusiastically did donating money and materials, making way for ambulances, and delivering food and water to the angels in white in isolation.

The education he received was "all as one, united as one". Everyone should do what they can, so that this country and this nation will not be a mess like other countries, and only then can they overcome one difficulty after another in the past and the future, and always maintain greatness.

Now he is the prince, the prince who was ordered by the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to inspect the place, and he is the person with the highest status in the city and probably the person who can call on the most resources. Naturally, he had to do something for the people in front of him.

In the middle of the game, there is no reason to sit idly by. If you don't do anything, when someone dies because of it, you will definitely be eaten by guilt!

"Where's Ru Taisu?" Zhu Su rarely put on the momentum of a prince, and said to Wei Guan in a deep voice. "The king also respects his deeds of sacrificing his life for the peace of his people. But there is something wrong with his management of this place, and he cannot sit idly by. ”

From Imperial Physician Li Zhu Su, it was already known that although the Ming people also knew that those who loved the clean would be less sick, they did not really associate the occurrence of the epidemic with the "sloppy living environment".

I wanted to tell Ru Taisu about the "epidemic prevention management regulations" and force him to implement them. After all, he has been here for a certain time, and he thinks he has gained some popularity. It is most appropriate for him to carry out the ordinance.

But he didn't want Wei Guan to be embarrassed, and said to Zhu Su: "Your Highness, Ru Yushi is ......."

"Ru Yushi is very old, and he has become ill from hard work."

"I've been bedridden for days......"

"Ru Taisu fell ill inside?" Zhu Su was stunned. I felt a bad feeling in my heart.

Isn't it because the refugee camp is too pickled and unfortunately contracted the epidemic......

"It's just an ordinary wind chill." As if he had guessed Zhu Su's thoughts, Wei Guan spoke. "There are doctors in it who treat Lord Ru. And the healer had said that there was no sign of the plague for the time being. ”

"That's fine." Zhu Su breathed a sigh of relief. His half-baked medical knowledge, if he said that there might be a way to prevent and treat it, but if the plague had already appeared, he would be completely blind. Since there are healers who assert that there is no plague for the time being, everything is still in time.

The road here is narrow and difficult to walk, so the group abandoned the carriage and horse and walked in. Just in case, Zhu Su still let everyone wear the masks that they had ordered others to make in advance, although I don't know if there is a filtering effect, but it can be regarded as a layer of psychological comfort.

Following Wei Guan, who led the way, Zhu Su and his entourage came to a barely intact courtyard. The old prefect Wei Guan knocked on the door of the courtyard first: "Lord Ru, are you here?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Wu has come here to visit you!"

There was footsteps inside, and the door creaked open. I saw Ru Taisu, who was dressed in a futon, appeared behind the door with the support of a small servant, and I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw a group of people with strange looks wearing masks, and finally recognized Zhu Su who was surrounded by the center, and said with some unnatural arches: "The criminal minister Ru Taisu has seen His Royal Highness King Wu, the fifth prince!" ”

"Lord Ru, this is still a grudge against this king." Zhu Su smiled. This guy's heart eye and needle eye are generally big, although he admires Ru Taisu's deeds of sacrificing himself for the people, but he is still unforgiving. He bypassed Ru Taisu and entered the house, only to see that there was only the fragrance of medicine in the house, but there were not many furnishings.

Except for Ru Taisu and the little servant, there was only one doctor who was boiling medicine under the window, who was hanging his head at the moment and saluting Zhu Su.

"Ru Yushi is really incorruptible!" Zhu Su said. This sentence is a rare and sincere compliment. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the officials were not corrupt, and there were still a few clean officials who were dedicated to the people.
