Don't be a prince

Without knowing whether other organisms will be carried as intermediate hosts, it is a good choice to extend the vigilance time and completely eliminate the virus concentration area.

Since his previous life, Li Chengqian has developed a habit of realizing the expected results earlier through various actions when encountering things that may turn bad.It's the same with Lupu now, he doesn't hesitate to think of the situation as worse.

Sighing, Li Chengqian said to Xiao Jue: "From today onwards, you should discuss with the people of Nanzhou. Those who have property at home should be transferred out. When there will be no more new cases, it will be completely destroyed." Nanzhou City. In addition, the villages that have not been invaded are strictly ordered to continue to stick to it. The court can afford this little food, so don’t feel embarrassed. We can completely wipe out the sores in Nanzhou this time. The responsibility of the world."

Xiao Jue couldn't laugh or cry: "It is estimated that things will go smoother than His Highness thought. After experiencing such a terrible disaster, the people of Nanzhou can be said to hate Luchuang deeply."

After cupping his hands, Xiao Jue turned and left, and began to discuss the relocation with the people of the Nanzhou state capital.

Nanzhou is poor, and there are not many wealthy families in the city, even if it is burned, there is nothing...

There is nothing to be sorry about.

Watching Xiao Jue leave with complicated mood, Li Chengqian also sighed.

Walking into a residential house, and just pushing the door open, there was an exclamation from inside.

"Quickly get angry, mud is nothing but ice, and the country will arrive soon after cutting the letter."

(Friendly support from brother Ke Jin, a college classmate)

Before Li Chengqian could react, the door he just opened was slammed shut.

After trying hard to distinguish for a while, he gave up and turned his attention to the recruited translator Zhang, Li Chengqian smiled wryly.

To him, the words of the people from Nanzhou sounded like a mess.

Translator Zhang cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, the people in the room said, get out quickly, you are not sick, be careful of being adopted."

Touching his smooth face, Li Chengqian immediately understood what was going on.

Knocking on the door, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "My fellow, open it. I've already been ill, but it's not that serious. Look, how many of my attendants have been ill?"

Li Chengqian couldn't speak Nanzhou dialect, so he could only rely on Zhang Translator to translate every word for the people inside.The so-called "Mandarin" of the Tang Dynasty is the official language of Chang'an. In fact, even the official language of Chang'an is still different from the proper Mandarin.After speaking Mandarin for so many years, Li Chengqian felt that Mandarin was an awkward language.

After confirming through the crack of the door that among the people outside, there were indeed those who had suffered from sores and recovered from the disease, the people in the room felt relieved and opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a strong smell of alcohol.

Nanzhou is especially hot in summer, so even the environment must be disinfected.Fortunately, the supply lines from Fuzhou to Nanzhou and Yizhou have been established, so alcohol can be used so extravagantly and wastefully.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the stove. Unlike the north, the stove here is not connected to the kang.Steam was still rising from the gap in the lid of the pot. Li Chengqian opened it casually, and saw some wild vegetables mixed with dried meat inside. Next to the pot was a pot of millet, which was a little swollen. It looked like it was going to be added.

"How unpalatable it is to eat like this."

The old man who opened the door waved his hands again and again after listening to Zhang Translator's translation and said, "There are vegetables, meat and rice. Although it is porridge, it is better than dry rice. We can eat such rich food without farming. They are all relying on the mercy of the court, how can you say it is unpalatable! Little boy, it seems that you have not experienced the era of war, even in the era of Wude, there were many places where people starved to death. How many years have you been full?"

Seeing that the old man was suspected of going mad, Zhang Yili quickly revealed the identity of the prince.

When he learned that the young man in front of him was the prince, the old man immediately suppressed his anger and fell to his knees.

Hearing the sound, the people in the room, as long as they were able to walk, also came out one after another.

Nanzhou City accommodates patients from all counties, so an ordinary residential house is usually full.

Li Chengqian hurriedly helped the old man, and said with a smile: "At your age, if you give Gu Xing such courtesy, it will ruin your life. Get up quickly."

Who knew that with a twist of the old man's shoulders, he took off Li Chengqian's upward strength, and still knelt down and said: "Let the old man kneel down. In the past, as long as there was a sore in one place, it would be isolated by the court. Fend for itself. Even foreigners set up roadblocks and are not allowed to pass through.

Now that the sores broke out in Nanzhou, the old man thought it would be over.Who knows, the imperial court didn't give up on us, but instead sent Sun Shenxian to help treat the disease, and even treated Nanzhou as a disaster area for disaster relief, pulling food here by truckloads.My wife and third grandson were not lucky enough to make it up, but my two sons, daughter-in-law, and four children all survived.Our family is in debt to the imperial court! "

Not only was the old man alone, but everyone in the rooms on both sides came out and fell to their knees on the ground.

Li Chengqian sighed, and said: "You are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court will naturally not ignore death. The imperial court really has no time to take care of the various practices in the past. Here, on behalf of the father, I will make amends to everyone. No, you should have heard about the incident in Bozhou because you were close. Now it has spread to Nanzhou and Yizhou, and it is indeed the responsibility of the imperial court.

It's just that when Bozhou Lupu was rampant, we still had foreign enemies eyeing us, and the imperial court really didn't have the energy.Father, he also knows..."

Having said this, he was suddenly interrupted by the old man.

"Prince, we all understand that those savages on the grassland are really hateful. We have also heard of the principle of first having a country and then a family. Besides, even this time the disaster relief, we also know how much money the court spent on food. Now The imperial court wants to fight foreign wars and provide disaster relief, and also waives the agricultural tax for our common people, so the shortage of money is certain."

Seeing everyone nodding their heads, no matter how thick Li Chengqian's face was, he would still turn red after all.

This is already cheating.

However, the hearts of the people must not be lost. If the real thoughts of the court are revealed, will the hearts of the people still be lost?

Helping people up one by one, Li Chengqian chatted with the people of Nanzhou here throughout the noon, and even ate their meal during the period.Although it looks like a mess, it is surprisingly not bad to eat.

As the conversation progressed, not only the room was crowded with people, but the yard was also full of people who came to watch the excitement.It doesn't matter if you can't see anyone, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand Chang'an's official language. What they care most about is that the prince is here.The imperial court did not abandon them.

Li Chengqian didn't expect that he would invisibly stimulate the patient's mood. He was seriously ill, and his body was already in pain. If he didn't relax his spirit, who would be able to withstand it.

The care for patients with Lupus is very simple. Some people who have been cured consciously start to take care of others.With nothing to do, Li Chengqian simply became a storyteller.

Although Nanzhou is close to the border of Jimi Prefecture, the southern Jimi Prefecture is very bearish and never dares to make trouble.In the west, the pressure of Tubo and others is being resisted by Jiannan Road, so Nanzhou has always been relatively peaceful.

What the common people like to listen to most is jokes on the battlefield, so Li Chengqian also talked about the battlefields he has experienced.For several days in a row, not only himself, but also Zhang Translator's voice became hoarse, but everyone still couldn't hear enough.

In such excitement, everyone forced themselves to be happy, pretending not to know that the fire outside the city had never been extinguished, and pretending not to know that Nanzhou was about to be destroyed soon.

It was another day of wrangling, and after the work was over, Li Chengqian only felt a pain in his buttocks, and his throat also burst into flames.

The night was dark, and everyone went back to where they lived.

Stepping on the ray of sky light, Xiao Jue came to Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness, everyone in Nanzhou City has agreed to destroy Nanzhou City. Especially some wealthy households have chosen to give up their food and furniture."

Li Chengqian nodded and sighed: "Chang'an will soon send a group of craftsmen inoculated with vaccinia to build a temporary settlement not far from Nanzhou City. Although the residence is crowded, there is at least a shelter. Nanzhou The construction of the state must be restarted in three years. By that time, there is no need to worry about Lupu coming to this land again.

Today, only Nanzhou and Yizhou are the places where Lupus outbreaks occur on a large scale.Although there are other cases in various places, there are not as many as here, so it is much easier to deal with.If the sores that have been found in all parts of the Tang Dynasty do not reappear within five years after they are cured, it means that we have really wiped out all the sores in the Tang Dynasty! "

Xiao Jue, who could be said to hate Lushuang, took a deep breath, and his eyes immediately became moist.

After thinking for a while, he cupped his hands and said, "Now, the placement and treatment of patients in Nanzhou City is on the right track, and there are no more patients from outside. Now, please punish the students for the crime of seizing power. This governor, It should be returned to the new Inspector Liu."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Forget it, you have made a lot of contributions to this disaster. What's more, doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times is not a redemption. You can keep the position of governor." If you have time to think about how big a problem you have committed, why not make a good plan for how Nanzhou will develop in the future."

You have also seen the dilapidated state of Nanzhou now, because your place is not important at all, so the imperial court probably will not allocate funds for you to rebuild, and you have to rely on yourself!

Xiao Jue was very clever, so he naturally understood the pointing meaning in the prince's words.

Arching his hands, Xiao Jue said with a smile: "The students have already prepared for this point. When the county magistrate was assigned, the students chose Qijiang County. Whether it is coal, iron or copper, there are good reserves here. We The important iron smelting plants in Datang are generally concentrated in the north. If the south wants to develop, it must also develop coal and iron. Although Nanzhou is barren, there are coal, iron and copper mines, so it can become prosperous no matter what. "

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It's not a long-term solution to sit and eat. Have you thought about the future?"

Xiao Jue nodded and said: "Of course I have thought about it. Sooner or later, the southern states will be recovered by our Tang Dynasty. At that time, not only Gaozhou will exist as an important port, but this coastal area will be Prosperous. If Jiaozhou is developed, then the best route is to go north to Chang'an through Nanzhou. Before that, Nanzhou has been developed, which will attract businessmen from the past. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Li Chengqian laughed loudly: "What else can I say? You are the governor, Gu is recommended. In addition, write your papers. When the time comes, Gu will sign with you."

Xiao Jue was overjoyed and quickly saluted.

Breaking and then building, we are talking about Nanzhou.

Xiao Jue's thinking is correct, according to his thinking, it is not only Nanzhou who will benefit.From Jiaozhou to Chang'an, all state capitals on a line can benefit.You know, unlike the route from Gaozhou to Chang'an, the Nanzhou route, all the state capitals connected in series, are all of the kind that "grandma doesn't love and uncle doesn't love".

Not to mention the people of Nanzhou, including Bozhou, Yizhou, Fuzhou, Yuzhou and Hezhou, all owe Xiao Jue a great kindness.

No matter how horrible the disaster is, it will end.

When there are fewer and fewer patients and more and more people who are cured, the shortage of medicines finally got a respite.And the imperial court was finally able to send the sick cows and gasoline over.Along with the vaccinia vaccinations in the outskirts of Yizhou in Nanzhou, a huge cage for Lupus is slowly forming.The vaccinia vaccination of the people in the two states who survived the disaster completely cut off the rampant evil hand of Lupu.

When Sun Simiao returned from Yizhou with his people, Li Chengqian knew that this disaster would soon come to an end.

Along with Sun Simiao was the new governor of Yizhou—Su Xiaosheng.

Yizhou, like Nanzhou, naturally needs a big fire to melt the city.

Unlike here in Nanzhou, it was Sun Simiao who made the decision. As a result, none of the people in Yizhou objected and agreed immediately.In their view, Sun Shenxian's decision must be right.

After visiting the warehouse where gasoline was stored, I realized that the Ministry of War was really stingy this time.The gasoline is enough to ignite, but it is far from enough to melt the city.

However, Hou Junji, or actually the emperor, has already given a lot of face this time.As military supplies, it is estimated that these are now also picked out from the military warehouses preparing for the war in Goryeo.

Walking out of the warehouse, Li Chengqian patted Xiao Jue on the shoulder and said, "You have seen the situation, the gasoline is naturally not enough, do you have any ideas?"

Xiao Jue clasped his hands and said: "It is good enough to have gasoline, and leave the rest to the people of Nanzhou. Whether it is dry firewood or dry thatch, as long as it can be burned, it will be gathered in the city. In addition, Nanzhou Most of the houses are made of wood, so this fire will definitely burn.”

Su Xiaosheng also cupped his hands and said: "Nowadays, the people of Yizhou trust the government very much. As long as there is an order, they will definitely support it. Although it is cruel to ask everyone to collect firewood to burn their own homes, but at this stage, this is already the best way gone."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Then let's do this. The gasoline is divided into eight lines, and they must be ignited at the same time from the inside of the city to the side of the city wall to ensure that all the fires pass over the ground. I don't know how much difference there is between Yizhou and Nanzhou City. So, Su Xiaosheng, I can only give you half of the gasoline and send you [-] soldiers, is that okay?"

Su Xiaosheng cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely complete the task!"

He glanced at Su Xiaosheng with satisfaction, patted Tianhou, and signaled him to take someone there, and immediately, the gasoline began to be transported.

After the catastrophe, the farming season has long been delayed, not to mention that in order to avoid the virus from infecting the environment, unless necessary, everyone should live together honestly.

Upon receiving the governor's call, the bored commoners immediately sprang into action, even elderly people would carry a pile of hay and move it into the city.

Human beings have had a strange emotion towards fire since ancient times, and everyone is very interested in being able to unleash such a catastrophe.

Everyone gathered firewood with high flames, and the fire hadn't been lit yet, but the pile of firewood was firmly spread all over Nanzhou City. Even on the streets, there was one layer of dry grass and one layer of firewood, with a height of one meter.

Five thousand bottles of gasoline were poured out by the soldiers personally led in a very short period of time.

Just at the gate of Nanzhou City, Li Chengqian held a torch and lit the first line of fire.

A total of eight lines of fire were ignited one after another, and Nanzhou City was soon plunged into a sea of ​​flames.

Because it is summer, there is no need to worry about fire.

The flames of a city burned up, and the heat was enough to make people within a few hundred meters unable to bear it.Therefore, everyone retreated to the hillside two miles away, silently watching the igniting of the fire.

Looking at the burning Nanzhou City, Xiao Jue shed tears even though he already understood that it was right to do so.

He was not the only one crying, many elderly people also cried out.

However, in order to defeat Lu Suo, this is necessary.

After working hard for nearly three months, Sun Simiao lost a lot of weight.

Looking at the raging fire in Nanzhou City and listening to the suppressed cries of the old man beside him, he could only sit down cross-legged and began to chant sutras.

Under the leadership of Sun Simiao, all the Taoist priests also sat cross-legged and began to chant along.

Li Chengqian also sat down and clasped his hands together.A sore caused the loss of more than 6000 people in Nanzhou and Yizhou!

Although the population of Datang has grown a lot after these years of development.However, a disaster of 6000 people is shocking enough.

No one wants to get sick, especially Lupus.But in the face of the virus, human beings, who are known as the primates of all things, are still so vulnerable.

Disasters are merciless, 6000 people died, but more people survived.

Everyone who survived the illness can be said to have escaped by luck.All they can do, probably, is to bear the hope of the dead and continue to live.

Chapter 482 Thin-skinned

With Sun Simiao and Li Chengqian taking the lead, everyone sat down, clasped their hands together, and closed their eyes to pray.

On one side is the blazing heat of raging flames and black smoke, and on the other side is the tranquility and deepness.

There is wind today, and the wind helps the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind, so a big city does not burn for too long, and in the evening, only the dark fire is left.

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are still very capable. Each wooden house has at least made a shell, giving the homeless Nanzhou people a place to hide.

For dinner, everyone had stewed dried meat with wild vegetables, and Sun Simiao and Li Chengqian were no exception.

After the meal, after resting for about half an hour, Li Chengqian began to take a walk after the meal.

Unlike the morning exercise, this is a habit he has developed recently.The funny thing is that after Sun Simiao found out, he followed suit without asking why.

Outside the camp, the two met under a big tree. Seeing that Zhang Yun was still holding the teapot, Sun Simiao stretched out his hand without hesitation.

According to Zhang Yun, there are only a handful of people in this world who can confidently ask for something from the prince, but there is no doubt that Sun Simiao is one of them.

After taking the teapot and taking a few sips, Sun Simiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked Li Chengqian, "Are we going to stay in Nanzhou for three years or even five years?"

Li Chengqian immediately shook his head and said: "You really want to escort Nanzhou back to safety, but I can't. It has been more than three months since the spring plowing season. When we return to Chang'an, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be over. There are still three in the family outside." Yes, there is a little ancestor inside, I really can't let go."

After saying this, Li Chengqian suddenly felt something was wrong.

As far as he knew, Sun Simiao still had three sons, but his wife died early, because he was obsessed with medicine and wandered around the world, so he just entrusted the children to his friends in Taoism to take care of them.Today, the eldest son, Sun Xing, serves as the county captain of Mianchi County in Luozhou, and it is estimated that in a few years, he will be transferred to Chang'an as a Beijing official.In his official career, Sun Xing did not rely on his father, and the father and son often refused to reunite during the Chinese New Year.

This time when I came to Nanzhou, it was still unknown whether cowpox could be prevented before I officially came into contact with Lupus patients. Sun Simiao wrote several suicide notes, but they were all thrown into the trash can. After Li Chengqian found out, he packed them all up and sent them to Sun Xing .

Seeing that Li Chengqian stopped talking abruptly and looked embarrassed, Sun Simiao knew what he was thinking.

Sighing: "Actually, the wife of the old Taoist also died of a strange disease. However, after practicing medicine for so many years, Pindao has not encountered a similar patient. The obsession at the beginning has continued to this day, and it is still not true. I know when it’s the end. The three children are now living well, so the old man is relieved. In this life, my father is not up to standard, so I can only say sorry to them.”

Li Chengqian comforted: "In fact, the relationship between father and son is still very strange. When there is hatred, we can treat each other as passers-by, but when we are hostile to each other, we still care about each other's situation. Daoist Sun, why don't we make a bet? "

Sun Simiao asked suspiciously, "What bet?"
