Yun Chu sat firmly behind the bead curtain and spoke slowly.
"Changgan County is the birthplace of the epidemic. Most people have contracted the disease, so we will use Changgan County as a base to start treatment."
"First, gather all the doctors in the county seat, so that all the sick people can be attracted to Changgan County. The doctors will diagnose the pulse of the sick people, prescribe prescriptions and decoction, and manage them uniformly. Checkpoints are set up at the gate of the city, and only people are allowed to enter. , are not allowed to go out, and are strictly controlled.”
"People infected with the plague have very obvious symptoms, such as red eyes and black lips. In this way, they are easy to detect. All nearby counties and villages arrange guards to strictly check the sick people. If they find one, they will be sent to the hospital. Treatment in Gan County, suspected patients will be managed in isolation first..."
Yun Chu finished speaking in an orderly manner.
The ministers below were silent for a moment.
Although it is not the best policy, it is much better than the worst policy. At least, it will not cause public anger.
However, implementation is somewhat troublesome.
Furthermore, Changgan County was the place where the plague was most severe, and no official was willing to go there.
"I am willing to go there."
A young boy's voice sounded.
The courtiers all looked around and saw that it was the former seventh prince, now His Highness Prince Shun, who was only thirteen years old this year.
Prince Shun walked to the middle of the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I would like to go to Changgan County to control the plague. Please accept your permission."
Prince Shun's biological mother was Concubine Shu, and she had a good relationship with Yunchu. Naturally, she believed in Prince Shun unconditionally. However, she was too young. If she contracted the plague... Concubine Shu took the risk to give the late emperor medicine. It helped her a lot. If something happened to Prince Shun, she would have no shame to see Concubine Shu...
"It's better to let me go." Mr. Xiang stood up, "I am the Taibao of the dynasty, but now there is no prince in the dynasty, so I am very free, so let me deal with the plague."
Yun Chu said: "Today we will gather the doctors and medicinal materials, and tomorrow morning we will go to the Ai family to determine who will go."
After the meeting.
The seventh prince, Prince Shun, walked up to Yunchu, cupped his hands and said, "I really wish to go to Changgan County. I wonder what the Queen Mother has to worry about?"
"This matter is easy to say, but extremely troublesome to implement. You don't have the ability to handle it yet." Yunchu said, "You have a job in the official department now, so you should practice with it first."
"The Queen Mother is probably worried that something will happen to me in Changgan County." King Shun raised his head, "I was born as a royal prince. I can't just enjoy it, but I also have to bear what I have to bear. The emperor is still young, and there are people coveting the throne in the dark. I have As his imperial uncle, I should solve his problems, and please give me this opportunity."
Yun Chu shook his head.
The plague is more ruthless than the sword and will not let you go just because you are a member of the royal family.
At this time, you should arrange for experienced people to go instead of...
She was about to speak when Concubine Shu's voice came to her ears: "Queen Mother, let him go. He has had ambitions since he was a child. I am the one who suppressed him."
Princess Shu sighed.
Her natal family was just a modest, Western-style family and couldn't provide any help. She didn't want her son to get involved in court struggles, so the song was very low-key.
But now that the battle for the throne has come to an end, at such a time when talents are needed, since Lao Qi wants to take the throne, let him do it.
Yun Chu glanced at Concubine Shu, and then at Prince Shun. Knowing that mother and son were of the same mind, he nodded and said: "Prince Shun is young, so he still needs someone to take care of him. Then the Ai family will leave it to Master Xiang and Lao Qi. How about we go together?"
Concubine Shu was overjoyed: "That's the best."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Lao Qi, you are the prince, Sir Xiang must put you first in everything, but you have to remember that Sir Xiang knows how to deal with those patients better than you. You should study more, watch more and talk less. Understand ?"
Prince Shun cupped his hands and said, "I understand. Thank you very much, Queen Mother."
However, before the matter was settled in court the next day, another news came from Ningzhou.
"Reporting to the Emperor and Queen, a medicine girl appeared near Ningzhou and gave nectar to the sick. As long as those who drank the nectar recovered without medicine, the medicine girl was also called the Goddess of Heaven."
"King Cheng invited the Heavenly Lady to spread nectar, porridge, and medicine in Ningzhou City to appease the people. All the people near Ningzhou were attracted, and the plague was solved."
"The imperial court does not need to arrange for people to come over."
Yun Chu's brows wrinkled slightly.
Goddess of Heaven?
Never heard of this name.
Why does it feel like something is wrong?
"Master Xiang, Prince Shun, you two still have to go." Yunchu said, "King Cheng needs money to give porridge and medicine. Naturally, this money comes from the court. After you two go to Ningzhou, Assist King Cheng to deal with the aftermath."
He went out to the Lord and King Shun: "Yes, Queen Mother."
After the dynasty ended, Yun Chu thought more and more about it, and something felt more and more wrong.
Since it is such a serious plague and has spread so widely, there is no way that it can be solved by an unknown medicine woman using some nectar.
She returned to Kangning Palace, took out the map and looked at it.
I saw that the nearest large city near Ningzhou City was Jizhou.
"Jizhou..." Yun Chu pointed his finger, "Qiu Tong, is there any news about Xie Shian recently?"
Qiu Tong replied: "After the Yuan family returned to Jizhou with Xie Shikang and Xie Shiwei, they lived in the Xie family's old house. Xie Shi'an started a business, purchased goods from other places, and then returned to Jizhou to take action. At this time, he should go The goods are out of town."
"Not necessarily..." Yun Chu's eyes darkened, "He is not a person who is willing to accept the status quo."
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen are the lowest class, and their peace of mind is as high as the sky. How can they be willing to be a businessman?
If he wants to transcend class, he can only rely on powerful people... Looking at the entire Jin Dynasty, the only ones who can be persuaded by Xie Shi'an's few words are probably the sixth prince becoming the king.
She guessed that Xie Shian should be beside Cheng Wang.
But she couldn't figure out why she wanted to create a goddess and what was she going to do?
But soon, Yunchu guessed why.
In the next few days, the reputation of the Heavenly Lady became more and more widespread, and even the people in the capital heard about it.
Those who went to Ningzhou wrote back to the Lord, saying that more and more people from the city were flocking to Ningzhou to ask the Goddess for nectar.
The nectar was spread more and more mysteriously, claiming that just one sip could cure all diseases and that it was holy water given by God.
The original population of Ningzhou City was around 60,000 to 70,000. Due to the nectar of the Goddess of Heaven, countless people came here, and the population reached 200,000, and it continued to rise.
"King Cheng is planning to rebel!" Even a child in Chu Hongyu saw the situation. "He only has a thousand soldiers under his command, and the Ningzhou garrison only has three thousand troops. There are too few people, so he came up with this idea." Everyone gathers together, does he want to confront the capital?"
Anyone who can become a court official is not a fool. Everyone's eyes fell on Lord Yuan.
Mr. Yuan is the elder brother of Princess Yuan, the uncle of King Cheng, and a third-rank official in the court.
He knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I have no idea about this matter, and I don't know what His Highness King Cheng is going to do..."
