I don't know what's going on these days, it's raining every day. Zhao Shizheng was wearing a cloak and directing the prisoners to pile sandbags in front of the door of the dungeon, and saw that the water was poured in.

Zhou Xiang came out of it with a food box after delivering the meal, and said to Zhao Shi: "Fuck, I've never seen such a heavy rain."

Zhao Shi smiled: "Are you in a hurry and can't get out of the city?"

"a fart, go down to the mud half a foot deep, it's all soup"

Zhou Xiang was about to leave after speaking, when Zhao Shi remembered something and asked:

"Is this flood control under the control of the pipe?"

"What's the flood control?"

"It's the river that sends water," Zhao Shi explained.

Zhou Xiang said nonchalantly after listening: "If you send it, you won't be able to flood Weishui City."

"Weishui has never sent water?"

"How do I know, the prince and I have only been in Weishui City for four or five years, anyway, we haven't had a few years."

Zhao Shi flickered when he heard this: "Pipe belt, is that Nanda camp set up on the edge of Weishui?" ”

Zhou Xiang replied: "That's right"

"If this Weishui is out of water, Nandaying will be gone, even if it is not under the management, it is still good to send an official document"

Zhou Xiang nodded after listening: "I'll go to the prince."

Two days later, news came that the Weishui had risen sharply and drowned all the way.

Zhou Xiang came back and explained that Zhao Shi would send food to the old man in the dungeon and left, saying that there were many refugees from outside the city, tens of thousands, and some were busy.

Zhao Shi went to a big restaurant according to the address, ordered a few dishes, and asked for a pot of wine.

Then Xiao Er brought the account book, Zhao Shi checked it and signed, it seems that someone comes to settle the account regularly, it is definitely not Zhou Xiang, I don't know who it is.

Zhao Shi went down the dungeon with the food box, opened the door and entered, the old man was lying on the bed, and he was not surprised to see Zhao Shi come in, it should be Zhou Xiang who explained.

Zhao Shi put the dishes on the table and poured the wine. The old man got out of bed slowly, sat down and beckoned to Zhao Shi:

"Come, let's have a drink"

Zhao Shi also sat down and poured himself some wine, and the old man asked while eating: "I heard Zhou Xiang say, you mentioned the relocation of Nanda Camp?" ”

Zhao Shi nodded, "Hmm", "How do you know that this Weishui will send water"

"Guessing".

The old man smiled: "If you are not a little sure of this, who would dare to say nonsense"

"Guan Band said that since I came here with the prince for four or five years, I have never seen such a heavy rain."

Zhao Shi paused for a moment and said: "I asked him, he doesn't know who is in charge of the river as a pipe band, and he doesn't know how to manage it, so this river must have fallen into disrepair for a long time."

"Well, you really have some way," the old man nodded, "and this insight was also taught by your master?" ”。

Zhao Shi laughed and blew: "What kind of knowledge is this, what my master has learned is unmatched."

"Talented people are like carp crossing the river, don't blow nonsense"

"Hehe, the world's intelligence is like a stone, and my master has eight buckets"

"The tone is not small, even the sect leader who has lived for three hundred years is afraid that he will not dare to say this."

As soon as Zhao Shi heard the sect leader, he immediately came to the spirit, "Which sect leader?" Tongtian Sect? ”。

The old man gave him a blank look: "Is there anyone else in the world who dares to call the sect leader?" ”

"Did this sect leader really live for three hundred years? It can't just be a folk rumor, right? Did you hear that? ”

"Naturally, I haven't met the sect leader, but the people know a Tongtian Sect at most, and the Tongtian Sect doesn't need to preach doctrines, win over the cultists, and spread some strange theories, so how can there be any legends among the people"

Zhao Shi wanted to know more about the Tongtian Sect and hurriedly asked, "Why doesn't the Tongtian Sect propagate its teachings, isn't it possible to spread the teachings so that it can have a greater impact?" ”

"This Tongtian Sect is the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty is the Tongtian Sect, since the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the crooked demon cults have been killed, you say that the whole world is the Tongtian Sect, what doctrine do you need to preach?"

"Oh," Zhao Shi thought slightly.

"Then let me ask you how to treat this water?"

"When the water is finished, it will cure a fart, and the treatment will be a matter of the future, and it is not something that the prince of just one city can cure"

"Oh, what's going on now?"

Zhao Shi replied: "Grain",

The old man was interested when he heard it: "Let's talk about it"

"If the water goes down, the grain will be destroyed this year, but it will take three or four months to wait for the grain from outside to come in, but this person can't wait for three or four months, and then the local grain stock will skyrocket, and a large number of farmers will have no money and can only sell their land for grain.

In the end, those who have land become small households, those who have little land and those who do not have land starve to death, and if there are more people who are about to starve to death, they will be reversed, and then they will be killed, anyway, they will either starve to death or be beheaded, and the entire land of Weishui will become a few families, so it is said that natural disasters become man-made disasters."

The old man was silent after listening to this, and said for a long time: "Is there a solution?" ”

Zhao Shi smiled: "I'm a jailer who wants to do this, not in his position, not in his politics"

"Not in his position, not in his politics" The old man repeated, nodding his head, "It makes sense, but is there really a solution?" ”，

"Power, it depends on how much power you have", Zhao Shi replied,

The old man asked again: "Then you can't be unreasonable, let's solve it with a knife and a gun."

"The truth is under the sword and gun"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and laughed.

Two days later, the Weishui City Gate was closed, and Zhou Xiang also returned, sloppy.

What is surprising is that she actually brought back the little lady of the Liu family, this little lady is very diligent, busy with everything, serving tea and water, and calling the one who is waiting for a week.

Zhou Xiang only told Zhao Shi that there was a plague outside the city, so he hid in the house and went to the house.

The next day, Zhao Shi was on duty, and he heard the ghost scream for half a night last night, and when he returned home, the two of them let go, and the call was heartbreaking.

Zhao Shi didn't practice this skill, and he couldn't sleep, and he didn't get up until the third pole of the day, and the little lady of the Liu family came to serve it early, and Zhao Shi thanked him and ate it.

In the chat, I learned that after the plague broke out among the displaced people in the south of the city, it became chaotic, and the prince transferred the southern camp to suppress it, and the scholar panicked when he heard about the plague, and begged Zhou Xiang to transfer him elsewhere, and sent the little lady to Zhou Xiang with a letter of resignation.

Zhou Xiang was overjoyed and immediately agreed, and the little lady of the Liu family followed back.

Zhao Shi was also very happy that the lack of virtue he had done had become a good deed, but after thinking about it, he should also move out, and it was always inconvenient to live again.

Zhao Shi was about to go out on duty, but saw Zhou Xiang come back and said to him: "Don't go, follow me out of the city, you are temporarily transferred to the government."

Zhao Shi answered, followed Zhou Xiang and left, Zhou Xiang was a little embarrassed and said: "This time, you are dragged down by your brother, you also have to go outside the city."

Zhao Shi smiled and said, "You might as well take it, why can't I go", Zhou Xianghan smiled and patted Zhao Shi on the shoulder.

The two went to the government to pick up their horses, and went out of the city, and after a few miles out of the city, they saw hundreds of tents in front of them. The battalion gate pawn took the two to the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the past, Zhao Shi had only heard of the big tent of the Chinese army, but he had never seen it, but this time he saw it, it was really a tent, but it was very big.

There were more than a dozen people talking about something in a hurry, there was a case in the middle, and there was a general in armor sitting behind him, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his aura was extraordinary, Zhao Shi had never seen such a handsome man.

Seeing Zhou Xiang coming in, he immediately got up and hugged his fists, "Zhou Guan has worked hard, come and take a seat"

Zhou Xiang also arched his hand and said, "I've seen Chu Dutong", and after speaking, he sat aside, and Zhao Shi stood behind him.

This Chu Dutong also sat down and asked, "Why did you bring it again?" What is the agenda of the government? ”

Zhou Xiang took out an official document and handed it to the past, "It's a fart, it's all there, no one will come when I hear about the plague, won't this kick me out again"

Chu Dutong took the official document, opened it, looked at it, and said, "You can't just drag this out, how can you get a road number, what does it roughly mean?" ”

Zhou Xiang sighed and said, "There are all kinds of words, some say that they will be dispersed, and some will say that it will not be able to disperse, and the plague must not be dispersed everywhere, so it is not a matter of a few counties." Some say that it is divided into two parts, and those who are sick are put together, and those who are not sick are put together. Those who oppose it say, whoever divides it, how can it be clean, and if it is not clean, it will not be the same."

Speaking of this week, Xiang lowered his voice and said: "Others say, kill them all, at least you can save other places"

Bang, Chu Du unified the case and raised his eyebrows, and shouted angrily: "That's tens of thousands of people, who said this."

Zhou Xiang shook his hand: "It's useless to be angry, people ask you if you have any other way to solve it, how can you answer?"

After a pause, he said: "If you can solve it, you can still kick my big boss to top the bar."

All of them were silent, and after a while, they said, "Let's rest first, and talk about it tomorrow."

As soon as the next day dawned, a pawn hurriedly came over and shouted, and the two of them simply washed up and arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army.

When he entered the door, he saw that everyone was silent, and Zhou Xiang asked, "What is the matter?" ”

It took a long time for the capital to reply: "The army is also infected with the plague"

"Ah" Zhou Xiang was taken aback, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhao Shi stood behind and asked, "Dutong, what are the symptoms of this plague?" ”

That Chu Du thought that Zhao Shi was Zhou Xiang's personal entourage, and when he saw him ask, he said to Zhou Xiang: "Who is this?" ”

"Oh, his name is Zhao Shi, the official of the government office temporarily sent by the prince, assigned by the prince" Zhou Xiang replied, the meaning of this is obvious, although it is a government official, but it is named by the prince.

Du Tong naturally understood, and said: "At the beginning, I vomited and diarrhea, and then I had a high fever and blood in my stool, six of them fell in the army last night, and two more this morning."

After hearing this, Zhao Shi thought: This is quite similar to dysentery, so he said, "Let's go out and have a look."

"All right," they all replied, and the people went out of the big tent.

After a while, they arrived at a separate fenced place at the edge of the camp, and a shed was built inside, and a few soldiers lay in it.

Zhao Shi heard Qiu Zhengyang say that if he succeeds in practicing Taoism, he will not invade evil, and he is already about to practice for two full moons, so he is not very worried, so he asked for a cloth to cover his mouth and nose and go in.

Unexpectedly, Nadu Tong also learned to bring a piece of cloth and followed, but the others didn't move.

Zhao Shi came closer and watched for a while, Zhao Shi had watched science and education films when he was in school, and he only knew about plague and cholera, but he didn't feel like it, and he didn't understand anything else.

I wanted to get sick from the mouth, most of this kind of problem was a matter of eating and drinking, so I turned around and asked, "Lord Dutong, where did we get this drinking water from?" ”

"There's a waterhole not far away"

When everyone returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Shi proposed to look around, and all of them sent a small pawn to follow.

Zhao Shi went to the camp first, and saw a wooden barrel on the ground, and a soldier was pouring something into it.

When I got closer, it was alum, which was used for precipitation. I scooped up the precipitated water and drank a little, and my stomach vomited. He turned around and asked the soldier in the room, "Did you boil this water when you drank it?" ”，

Seeing that Zhao Shi spit out, the soldiers also scooped a spoonful and drank: "My lord, this water is not so unpleasant, how can these thousands of people have the kung fu to boil?"

"Hmm" Zhao Shi nodded: "Then I drank this water last night?" Nor has it been boiled? ”

"Of course the adults have to boil, you drank tea last night", Zhao Shi suddenly realized.
