Chapter 97 Internal Problems
(Everyone, please go to the Dragon Tower to leave a message, try to write as detailed as possible, go to the Dragon Tower, go to the Dragon Tower! Thank you!)
May 20, [-] in Tai'an was the third day after the governor's yamen issued the martial law order to close the city.

In Yuanyang City, within these three days, there were indeed more than 30 mutation incidents, affecting hundreds of people.

It seems that there are a lot of mutation events, but compared with the 10 population in Yuanyang City, this is insignificant.

Fortunately, although there are many mutation incidents, with the cooperation of the dignitaries in Longyou, every mutation has been controlled in time.

There are a total of 36 squares in Yuanyang City, and there are separate walls between each square, which brings natural good conditions for virus isolation.

Under the martial law order, the gates of each workshop were closed tightly, and the households sat together to protect each other, which temporarily stabilized the situation.

On the outermost wall of the palace, Zhao Yanxun walked on the wall with the officials of the palace and the general banners of hundreds of households of the bodyguard department.

Even within the palace, three incidents of mutation occurred, and a total of 16 people were lost.

The so-called loss is equivalent to saying that these people will undoubtedly die.

But some of them are still alive, and Zhao Yanxun will wait for them to completely mutate before harvesting experience points.

Standing on the "city wall", looking at the wall that is still working overtime, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "Can you finish all the work today?"

Worker Huang Zhongchang quickly stepped forward, bowed and said: "My lord... the work will be completed within today!"

After nodding his head, Zhao Yanxun waved him back.

It is indeed a big project to build a high wall, and Gongzheng can do this within three days, which is already very fast.

But Zhao Yanxun still wanted to urge him to finish the palace sooner to be truly safe.

Even though all the changes in Yuanyang Mansion were suppressed, as long as there is a mistake in one place, the zombie virus may break out in the city.

This is not a joke. The speed of virus transmission is exponential. It is not impossible for thousands of people to be infected within a day.

Thousands of zombies, even if they are honest and responsible, and no longer infect other people, with the little manpower of the capital and the government, they are powerless to suppress it.

In addition, the people in the palace are not good either. Although Zhao Yanxun is powerful in force, if he falls into the tide of corpses, he will die of exhaustion.

Turning around, looking at the civil and military officials behind him, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "Just now I took you to check inside the palace, and found many problems during the process!"

Hearing this, all the officials bowed to listen to the instruction.

"The warehouse manager is..."

Hearing Zhao Yanxun's call, Kuguanzheng Yu Changhui quickly replied: "The minister is here!"

"The internal and external treasury must be protected from moisture, fire, and insects..."

Zhao Yanxun emphasized that Yu Chang would listen carefully and dare not neglect in the slightest.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun called the names of the various official offices of the palace, and gave them instructions one by one.

The content includes the internal defense of the palace, the building of weapons and armor, the distribution of food control, the inspection mechanism for abnormal changes...

After a few words, everyone has a clear goal. Under the guidance of Zhao Yanxun's thoughts, they will be able to firmly maintain the safety of the palace.

"Just now what this king said, you must keep it in your heart, and draw inferences from one instance!" Zhao Yanxun said, scanning the crowd.

"Ministers, please remember!" All the ministers and workers said.

"Except for the two chief historians, everyone else has stepped down, let's go on business!"

Everyone saluted again, and then retreated one by one.

After a temporary reconciliation with the Governor's Yamen, Zhou Chengping and Guan Hetai were released, and they were in charge of the Palace for the past two days.

"Your Highness, please punish me for my lack of consideration!"

I just went around and found too many problems, Zhou Chengping and the two were held accountable.

But no one has experienced the outbreak of zombies before, and it is normal to have unexpected things.

After Zhao Yanxun signaled the two of them to avoid the ceremony, he said, "It's okay...just think carefully in the future!"

Looking at the city wall in the distance, Zhao Yanxun asked slowly: "Monsters have already appeared outside the city. It seems that the outbreak of monsters in Longyou is irreversible!"

This is a cruel reality, which means that many good things in the world will be destroyed along with this catastrophe.

Lin Quan, who was following Zhao Yanxun, said, "My lord, the news was just sent back this morning that monsters have been found outside the city walls in the south, east, and north!"

Nodding his head, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "I just found traces now, and in a few days... it might be a monster besieging the city!"

In fact, apart from the threat of the zombies themselves, the rations of nearly 10 people in the city are also a troublesome matter.

Ten days and a half months at most, the poorer families will run out of food, and there will be chaos in the city at that time.

"I don't know how long it will take for such a catastrophe to be eradicated. This king is thinking about... recruiting a group of slaves and maidservants in the palace, and recruiting a group of artisans and doctors into the palace. What do the two elders think?"

The effect of recruiting craftsmen and doctors into the palace is visible, but what is the use of recruiting servants?Don't you think there are too few people eating in the palace?

"Your Highness, there are so many servants in the palace now, it seems that there is no need to recruit any more!" Zhou Chengping said with a bow.

"You also know that there are many guards and craftsmen in the palace, and there are many unmarried people. These problems must be solved, so that people's hearts can be stable... What do you think?"

Zhao Yanxun's words were full of humanistic care, which left Zhou Chengping and Zhou Chengping speechless.

"Let these people enter the palace, at least it can protect them well... that's fine too!" Guan Hetai nodded.

Zhou Chengping also nodded, the safety of the people outside is uncertain, now it is only one who can be saved.

"You have to keep an eye on all the affairs in the palace, and you can't make any mistakes..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun said in a particularly solemn tone: "If this catastrophe causes China to sink... If we can survive, we may be the only light of civilization!"

Although it was the first time Zhou and Guan heard the word civilization, they could understand its profound connotation at this moment, and immediately felt that the responsibility on their shoulders was heavier.

What they do is not only to save their own lives, but also to preserve the fire of human civilization.

After dismissing Zhou and Guan, Zhao Yanxun ordered Lin Quan to inform the guards that he would leave the palace in the afternoon.

I haven't been outside for three days. Although the overall prevention and control sounds good, Zhao Yanxun still wants to go out and have a look.

The bureaucrats of this era are the best at writing papers, and deception is the basic operation. If you don’t go to see Zhao Yanxun, you always feel uneasy.

Lin Quan went to arrange to deliver the order, while Zhao Yanxun himself walked down the high wall. Next, he was going to take a nap at Xue Baojun's side. He didn't have a good rest at Huang Rongrong's side last night.

But when he entered through the east gate of Wangfu and walked outside the gate of Yuqiongyuan, he met Lin Jingyu and two maids.

Lin Jingyu usually stays in the room, and she appeared here at this time, obviously waiting for Zhao Yanxun.

"Jingyu, why are you here?" Zhao Yanxun stepped forward and asked.

Lin Jingyu raised her head, bit her lip, and hesitated to speak.

Seeing the signs, Zhao Yanxun took another step forward, only half a step away from Lin Jingyu.

"Could it be that there is some grievance?"

For his own woman, Zhao Yanxun is still very patient.

"My lord, my concubine wants to..."

Under Zhao Yanxun's gentle gaze, Lin Jingyu plucked up her courage and said, "This concubine wants to ask the lord something!"

With Lin Jingyu's personality, it's rare to be able to ask for help from her mouth.

"you say!"

"The concubine's maid, Yun'er, was taken away by the guards this morning, and she was found scratched on her hand..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun understood what was going on.

"The injury on Yun'er's arm, I can testify that it was scratched by my cat, please check it out!" Lin Jingyu said eagerly.

Although Yun'er is a maidservant, she has been her playmate since she was a child, a caring person that is rare in this foreign land, so Lin Jingyu pleaded for her.
