"It's a lot of money...... Yes. Zhu Su touched his chin.

"If Your Highness wants to retract his fate, it's not too late." Wei Guan persuaded. "As long as it is claimed that today is an extra favor from His Highness, so that the hungry people can have a full meal, and tomorrow the normal rationing will be resumed."

"The old minister will mobilize more errand servants to prevent people from making noise. In this way, you don't have to spend food ......"

"Nope." Zhu Su shook his head and interrupted Wei Guan's persuasion.

"It's not that this king is willful, it is imperative to let the people be satisfied, and it has to be done."

"Lord Wei, take a look...... Is this a place where people should live? ”

Zhu Su pointed around, his face serious.

"This ......"

Looking at the sewage-ridden roads and crumbling shacks, Wei Guan's face turned red. "Your Highness blames the old minister for being incompetent? Fang Cai also said that the Suzhou government has done its best......"

"I don't blame you. Tens of thousands of people live here, and it is rare for Suzhou government officials to maintain law and order. Naturally, it is no longer possible to do a good job of sanitation for the victims, build houses and build roads. ”

"If you can continue to barely maintain it, it will be considered useless. It's just that it's densely populated, but the conditions are so difficult. ”

"With the current conditions, if we don't clean it up in time, after some time, the epidemic will definitely spread!"

"Epidemic ...... Epidemic disease? Wei Guan was taken aback.

"Why is Your Highness so sure?" Dai Sigong, who had been silently following behind Wei Guan and never saying a word, suddenly spoke. Although his face is old, his peaceful eyes are indeed very bright. "Could it be that Your Highness knows the cause of the outbreak of the epidemic?"

"Mr. Dai doesn't know?" When Zhu Su saw him speak, he said strangely. "The so-called 'disease comes from the mouth'. Wouldn't it be so pickled here that there would be a disease? ”

Dai Sigong shook his head, "Ge Hongzhi's "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" has a cloud: 'There is a mixture of fury and ghost poison in his age. 'The plague is probably brought by the evil spirit. However, the so-called boils are born from old age. ”

"How else can it be born. It is nothing more than the living environment is too dirty, and the body's immunity is weakened, which leads to infection with the virus. Zhu Su said solemnly.

"Free ...... Immunity? What's that? What is a virus? Dai Sigong was slightly stunned, and his face was puzzled.

Zhu Su was stunned for a while, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while. After thinking about it, he said: "Well, viruses can be understood as the so-called 'ghost poison', and they actually exist in these many dirt, snakes, insects, rats and ants. ”

"If you want to avoid the epidemic, on the one hand, you must be strong and healthy, so that the epidemic can not invade, which is immunity."

"Secondly, we also need to completely clean up these dirty places, and make rules to teach people not to drink raw water, wash their hands and bathe frequently, and so on."

Both of these things can only be done if the people have the strength to do so. If you can't eat enough in your stomach, where does your immunity come from? If you don't have the strength, how can you do to clean up this place completely? ”

Wei Guan was stunned when he heard this, Zhu Su said that the head was the Tao, although he had the heart to refute it, but he didn't know where to open his mouth. Dai Sigong was thoughtful, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, but he was still skeptical.

At this moment, the accompanying eunuch Gou'er behind Zhu Su spoke: "When I was in Beijing, my Royal Highness asked the Zhuang of Bifeng Huangzhuang to do what he requested. ”

"In the past years, in the Zhuangzi, every autumn and winter, people often suffer from abdominal pain and fever. Since His Royal Highness implemented this law, the number of sick people in the village has decreased dramatically. ”

"The people of Bifeng Huangzhuang rarely suffer from epidemics, which is already a well-known thing in Yingtian City. If the two don't believe it, they can find someone to inquire. ”

"Really?" Dai Sigong's face was shocked, "I heard that His Highness was taught by strangers, could it be that there are also medical skills in it?" ”

"His Royal Highness's medical skills are indeed exquisite, and the poor monk can prove it." Yao Guangxiao also folded his hands. "Old Cao Guogong has sores in his mouth, and it is difficult to eat, and the doctor can't treat it. His Royal Highness made watermelon cream and gave it to him, and the medicine cured the disease. ”

Yao Guangxiao was talking about what happened before Zhu Su left Beijing. In the past, when Zhu Su first left the palace, he made many medicinal materials by himself that he could still remember how to make them. This includes watermelon cream. Li Wenzhong's father, Li Zhen, suffered from an ulcer in his mouth, and he didn't think about eating, and over time he was sick on the sickbed. Li Wenzhong and Li Jinglong, father and son, were full of sorrow and had to go back to their homes to serve their illness.

Zhu Su went to Cao Guogong's Mansion to visit, and after seeing that Li Zhen had replaced his mouth ulcers, he took out the watermelon cream he made, and sure enough, the medicine cured the disease, and Li Wenzhong and Li Jinglong were overjoyed.

Combined with the previous willow bark, fetal surgery, and alcohol disinfection used in the treatment of sword wounds "stabbed by Zhu Xian", Zhu Su's 'barefoot Langzhong' medical skills have become well-known among a small group of people. At least, Yao Guangxiao and other people who live in the Huangzhuang are highly respected.

"That's what happened!" Dai Sigong was even more pleased, looking at Zhu Su, with an eager look on his face.

Zhu Su smiled at him. His half-baked medical skills originally wanted to show Dai Sigong and others to see if he could make this famous doctor's medical skills go to the next level.

But now is not the time. He turned his head to Wei Guan and said, "This king knows that if Suzhou Mansion wants to change the established policy, there will be many dangers and obstacles in it......"

"The old minister was entrusted by His Majesty with a place to do his best...... Wei Guan shook his head. It's just that His Royal Highness can really teach the rich families in this city to open warehouses and release grain? If you rely on the strong force, I am afraid that there will be another disaster......"

"It's fine. This king has his own clever plan...... "Zhu Su smiled kindly. "Don't forget, this king also studied under the Great Confucian Song Master."

"Convince people with virtue, this king understands, knows very much!"

"Don't worry, Governor Wei."

"That's fine......" Wei Guan was skeptical.

……

The Suzhou government officials did bring the grain, and they set up a pot in the open space to boil it, and the victims were immediately excited, and even more so, they even bowed down to Zhu Su and others in the middle. If it weren't for the guards around Zhu Su to help maintain order, the scene would even get out of control for a while.

Zhu Su looked at the people who were grateful to him, and his heart was also touched. But he also understands that the people will be grateful for an extra bite of food today, and they will riot in anger tomorrow because they have nothing to eat.

This is understandable, life is busy, and all you want is to have a full bite of food and be able to live.

There is still a lot to be done, and now is not the time for complacency, but it is time to take action to ensure the supply of food for the future.

Zhu Su, who returned to Shen Yuan, summoned the two brothers Shen Rong and Shen Wang as soon as possible. Shen Wang went to the glass shop in the city, but the head of the family, Shen Rong, stayed in the garden. Hearing Zhu Su's summons, Shen Rong didn't dare to slack off, and came to Zhu Su with a cane.

"Your Highness urgently summons the old decay, I don't know what to order?" Shen Rong saw that Zhu Su's face was uncertain, and he was also worried in his heart. asked Zhu Su cautiously.

"Old man Shen, this king asks you."

"How much grain is still stored in your Shen family's granary?"

Zhu Su asked him.
