But in the same way, the rest of the counties did not know whether they were infected or not, and they did not dare to take them in at all.

"The outer walls of Penglai County are so grand, the city must be more prosperous, you just let us in!"

"After the epidemic passes, we will find a way to give you as many silver taels as you want, and take us in for a while!"

"The county order, those refugees seem to have come all the way, do we really not open the city gates?"

Li Da stood beside Xu Zilin and asked Xu Zilin with complicated eyes.

"Have you moved your compassion?"

Xu Zilin turned his head slightly to look at Li Da.

He has been with Li Da for so many years, how could he not know what Li Da's temperament is.

When Li Da heard this, he lowered his head and didn't speak again.

But his attitude has also spoken for himself.

Xu Zilin sighed, turned to face Li Da, and by the way, stretched out a hand and put it on Li Da's shoulder.

"I know what you're thinking, but listen to me, this kind of thinking can't be had, if one of them is a plague carrier, then if we let them in, our entire Penglai County will be finished, and you don't want us to go back to the situation where we were full of corpses again."

Li Da was silent for a long time, he knew that Xu Zilin's words were very reasonable, but he was just as ruthless as he looked at the refugees who couldn't get in outside the city gate.

"County order, I understand, but I can't bear it when I look at them and they need help."

"That's it, you go back first, just a few of us here."

Xu Zilin patted Li Da's shoulder again.

Li Da knew that this was the biggest concession Xu Zilin could make.

After Li Da left, Xu Zilin beckoned to the catcher next to him to come over.

"What's the matter, Lord Prefectural."

The catcher came over, and he also had a solemn look on his face.

"Looking at Li Da, if he wants to open the city gate and let people in, stop him, and definitely can't let the refugees outside the city gate in, understand."

The catcher nodded in response.

In fact, the words that Xu Zilin and Li Da said just now were also heard clearly by the close catchers on the side.

He also felt that what Xu Zilin said made sense, which was why he did not reject Xu Zilin.

Xu Zilin continued to stand on the city wall and watched for a while, seeing that there were more and more refugees around him, and everyone was flocking towards Penglai County, he really couldn't stand it anymore, so he got off the city wall.

Standing inside the city gate, Xu Zilin repeated loudly that no refugees were allowed to enter the city.

Then, he hesitated and walked to the door.

"However, many nearby counties are still unaware of the epidemic, so maybe they may take in these refugees!"

Xu Zilin's words were deliberately said to those refugees outside the city gate.

Naturally, the refugees heard it.

Soon, groups of refugees were heading for the nearby county seat.

"County order, isn't it a little bad for us to do this?"

The catcher on the side asked Xu Zilin with some incomprehension.

At the height of the pandemic, it is unethical to let refugees go to other cities instead of allowing them to enter the city.

But Xu Zilin sneered.

"I believe you all know what the nearby counties are doing to us, and they are all clear, and we don't do it ourselves, it's enough to give them face."

As he spoke, Xu Zilin turned his head to examine the many catchers in front of him.

"You are all here to guard, although there are not many refugees, but you must also watch the city gate, and you must not let people in."

"You can rest assured that the county order will be collected."

Xu Zilin glanced at the city gate with a somewhat solemn face, and then turned around and left.

Just a few days later, the epidemic became more and more serious.

The county, which closed down early, was not affected.

However, there are also some people who see that the refugees are too pitiful, and let a group of them enter the city, and they have all fallen.

Recently, batches of songs about the epidemic area have been sent to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di thought that things would get better and better, but when he saw that the thick folds were all about the epidemic, he finally became angry.

"It's been a few days, can't you even do the thing of locking down the town! I raised you to eat and sleep! ”

Zhu Di directly threw out the fold in his hand, and the fold slammed on the ground, as if it smashed into the hearts of all the ministers present.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

The ministers knelt down.

Zhu Di's chest kept rising and falling, but he also knew that these things could not be blamed on these ministers.

His own orders had already been told to all the county towns, and they themselves were unwilling to obey them, so they had to let the refugees into the city.

And this epidemic is fast and urgent, and there is not much time for Zhu Di to give them.

"That's it, since this is already the case, let's inform all the county magistrates of the county about these things, and let them decide for themselves whether to let the refugees into the city or not, I'm tired, let's retreat."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

All the ministers departed, and none of them wanted to stay in the temple for a while.

Zhu Di's anger is seen by everyone, if Zhu Di is angry with a person, I am afraid that this person will not want to get out of this palace today.

After everyone left, Zhu Di continued to look at the folds on the table.

But these excerpts are basically related to the epidemic, and Zhu Di finally put down the excerpts.

The epidemic has been fermenting like this for more than half a month, and during this period, Zhu Gaosui also came back with news, roughly saying that he is still safe, but many of the counties he has traveled through have become empty cities.

Dead die, run, run.

Zhu Di looked at this situation, he had no choice but helplessness, and there was no other way.

Fortunately, a month after the plague began, no new infections occurred.

Perhaps the infected people have died, and none of the living people have ever had the plague.

The plague has finally settled down.

As no one was infected, Zhu Di immediately ordered people to gather those who died of the plague and set them on fire.

After that, the ashes are buried in the ground.

Only in this way can the plague stop spreading.

It was already two months before things settled down.

At this time, Zhu Gaosui had also returned to the capital.

The first thing he did when he returned to the palace was to go to face the saint.

"Father, the son is back."

Zhu Gaosui was in the dust, Zhu Di looked at his son in front of him, and still sighed helplessly.

"Now that you're back, why don't you clean up after yourself?"
