Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Both Xiao Xuexing and Xiao Yan paid no attention to him, anyway, Xiao Zirong just had a convulsion like this from time to time.

However, Xiao Zirong's attitude can also show a lot. People like him who spend money on national affairs without batting an eye can't bear it, and they feel even more distressed.

Sometimes Xiao Yan wanted Xiao Zirong to give up those common people. The money spent to save them was much more than the value they could create. As the prime minister, he could easily calculate it based on the situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

However, Xiao Yan is not easy to mention, how can this kind of thing be put on the table, it can only be kept secret, otherwise who dare to say who is a sinner through the ages, or the kind that is engraved on the pillar of shame.

Xiao Zirong began to frown as he looked at the estimated money needed.

The current situation is that the Southern Qi raises the Northern Wei and the Southern Qi in one place, how can this be done?

In particular, their business with Heda has stopped, and it is not easy to rely only on Persia and India.

It was rare for Xiao Xuexing to see Xiao Zirong with a dignified expression. Although he felt that the other party was more like an emperor, he also couldn't see Xiao Zirong worrying about these things, so he simply said: "The royal family of the Wei Kingdom should have a lot of money. You can ask for details. Ask Yuan Jia."

He didn't make it very clear, but Xiao Zirong understood it as soon as he heard it. Isn't this just asking him to pluck the wool of the people of Wei?

But this is indeed a way out. Needless to say, the royal family of Wei State, if one of them wants to survive, he can buy his life with money.

There are also some mediocre officials in Wei State. Although Wei State is a defeated country, it is impossible to really kill all officials.

Adjustment is definitely necessary, so there must be a lot of room for maneuvering.

A series of measures immediately appeared in Xiao Zirong's mind, and finally coughed lightly and said, "We still have to find ways to stipulate this."

Otherwise, in the end, if you can keep your official position by giving money, wouldn't it be the same as selling an official?In the end, some people may take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters to amass money and embezzle.

No, no, those royal families and idle nobles can do this and spend money to buy their lives, but officials must not do this.

Xiao Zirong directly drew the line, that is, officials must have the capable go up and the mediocre go down.

No one objected at the scene, only Xiao Xuexing said: "Maybe no one wants to go now."

Xiao Zirong: ...

It hurts, bro!

In the current situation, no one is willing to be a sheriff in the past. Those who have the ability to do a good job in epidemic prevention are fine.

I'm afraid no one wants to take the blame.

Xiao Zirong's mood faded: "Forget it, let's get someone to test whether the prescription is effective or not."

To test the prescription, you need to select patients, and you must go to Wei Guo first. Xiao Zirong thought about it and used his brains in this regard: "Publicize the situation of the prescription, and accept volunteers to sign up. There are two types of volunteers. , One is to spend money to buy medicine for treatment, there is no guarantee that the treatment will be cured, the second is that the imperial court is responsible for the treatment, if it is not cured, forget it, if it is cured, go to the serum station to donate blood, um, tell them that donating blood will not kill people!"

The centrifuge is already being produced, and now he is really thankful that he had invented the electricity, otherwise the centrifuge can only be done manually.

Then again, it may not be possible to get the serum by hand.

The doctor said solemnly: "I will live up to your Majesty's trust!"

Xiao Zirong looked at the tragic look of the doctors and didn't know what to say for a while. He really wanted to say that the epidemic prevention station was not very dangerous. After all, he had a complete set of disinfection supplies for the medical staff.

But he thought about it, it's better not to plant the flag, what if he gets hit in the face.

After Langzhong left, Xiao Xuexing said, "I'll arrange the patrol."

He originally meant to say border patrol, but now that it's not the border, their border has extended to the north.

This patrol is also to prevent people from running to the south. This year is not the same as in later generations. Even with the blessing of high technology in later generations, people can sneak away from the epidemic area. This year is even easier.

All they can do now is to be cautious, and then make an example to others.

As long as they are found, they will be killed, if they are found, they will be killed one by one, and if they are found, they will be killed by one family. This is probably the only way to stop those people from running over.

Xiao Zirong sighed, it's rare that Xiao Xuexing didn't stop Xiao Xuexing from killing people, otherwise what should I do?

It's just that he seems to have underestimated the panic of the common people.

Xiao Xuexing has set up outposts along the Yangtze River, and sent a lot of people there. People crossing the river must choose places where the current is relatively gentle. Naturally, these places should be guarded.

After the first batch of smuggled people were killed, those patients who were not infected or who were still able to move gathered on the other side of the Yangtze River. They seemed to be looking for loopholes for these patrol soldiers, and some people even prepared to gather a wave to attack the defense line.

Xiao Xuexing urgently dispatched firecrackers, and directly equipped the outposts on the other side of the epidemic prevention cordon with firecrackers and artillery.

Xiao Zirong was a little surprised when he received the news: "Did no one explain the situation to them? Don't they want to live if so many people gather together?"

According to the data reported now, it is estimated that there are about [-] people. As long as one person is infected, basically everyone else is finished!

In particular, they gather along the Yangtze River, which means that eating, drinking, and drinking are all on the edge of the Yangtze River, which may pollute the river water. The Yangtze River water is a source of water for many people. Although recently everyone is required to drink boiled water for epidemic prevention, but frankly That being said, not everyone has this condition.

Boiling water requires energy. Before the establishment of several power stations, electricity was not available to everyone, so it may be just a slogan until now.

Xiao Zirong felt desperate when he thought about it, what did he do wrong to meet such a psychopath as Yuan Ke?

Just thinking about it makes me want to go to Mu Lin's house and beat him up!

Xiao Xuexing saw that Xiao Zirong's eyes were about to straighten, he pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, drive them away."

Xiao Zirong glanced at Xiao Xuexing silently, and understood that he didn't mean simply to drive away.

There is a high probability that a few shells will go down, and people will die along with the virus.

Xiao Zirong huddled in his arms and asked: "It's not like we don't care about them, why bother?"

Xiao Xuexing patted his head and said: "These Wei people have lost confidence in the imperial court. Now that Wei has become a defeated country, it will naturally be more difficult."

Xiao Zirong thought about it, no matter how good they say it is useless, after all the people over there have not yet built up confidence in the court of Qiguo.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Xiao Xuexing didn't say anything more, but decided to send people to coerce and lure them back to get rid of all these people.

Speaking of which, these people are generally more valuable and somewhat cultured.

Ordinary people don't have the ability to leave their homeland. These ordinary people are the most exploited. They don't have the support to stay away from their property. If they really leave, they may die on the way, but they still have a glimmer of hope if they stay at home.

Xiao Xuexing didn't intend to be soft on these people. They were not ignorant ordinary people. They could read and understand some truths, so they almost broke them and told them. If they were still resisting, then he would It was concluded that these people were survivors of the Wei State who were unwilling to be lost to everyone, so they took the opportunity to rebel.

Of course, he didn't tell Xiao Zirong about this matter. In order not to make Xiao Zirong even more unhappy, he would only try to drive him away at first, and if that didn't work, he would be ruthless.

There is no idea that he can't kill easily, and he will kill if he has to.

After Xiao Xuexing ordered them to go down, these people were indeed driven away. Originally, these people were just looking for loopholes, or because the idea of ​​Qi's weakness that had been instilled in Wei State was deeply ingrained, and they felt that the other party would not be cruel. jump high.

When the firearms were brought up, a few shells were thrown into the water, and those eager to try all ran away on the shore.

Xiao Xuexing just kept going and drove these people all the way to the north.

He was also worried that some of these people might be infected, so he wanted them to go to a colder place. He just heard that cold places are not easy to contagious. Although he didn't know if it was true, there was no problem after all.

However, he did not kill them all, and almost stopped the army. This was because they were worried that their soldiers would not adapt to the cold in the north, and that they would be infected if they went deep, so they retreated after trying not to contact the northern towns.

At this time, the development of serum has also entered the stage of clinical trials.

In fact, the separation of serum is not difficult. The centrifuge turned out to solve most of the problems, but the most difficult to solve is actually aseptic preservation.

In the process of preparing serum, it can be replaced by disinfection, but it is difficult to store it for a long time, and it must be sealed.

Xiao Zirong's head was bald because of this matter, and now it's too late to go to sea to find natural rubber!

This time it was Persia who helped them, because Xiao Zirong actually saw the cork on the wine bottle given to him by the King of Persia!

If there is no rubber seal, cork with moderate hardness and elasticity is naturally a good choice.

Xiao Zirong quickly placed an order for a bunch of corks from Persia. The Persian merchants who received the order were stunned. After confirming again and again that they only needed corks, no wine and no bottles, they said that they also needed to buy large quantities from other places.

After all, trees that can be used as corks only grow in specific places, and there are no trees in Persia!

Xiao Zirong doesn't care about that anymore. Before that, Yuan Jia contributed a lot of property with a wink, most of which belonged to Yuan Ke or the royal family of Wei State, and a small part belonged to him.

The only thing that makes Xiao Zirong unhappy is that among those assets, there are a lot of land and rare treasures to play with, but there is not much real money, but it can be regarded as an urgent need.

He originally wanted to sell those treasures, but he didn't like them anyway, but it was Xiao Xuexing who stopped him: "The imperial court is not so poor."

If the treasures of the imperial palace were to be exiled, there might be rumors among the people.

Xiao Zirong was very sorry, but knowing what he said was all right, he could just forget it.

Serum injections started at the serum station when the first corks arrived.

Volunteers have been found a long time ago. Ordinary people have them, but most of them are wealthy people who give money.

Originally, he thought half and half, but those wealthy businessmen gave too much money, so he finally had to bite the bullet, and it turned out that two thirds were spent on selling serum, and one third was volunteers.

This number cannot be lowered any further, otherwise the serum will not be enough.

While the serum was conducting the experiment in an orderly manner, Xiao Zirong frowned looking at the numbers reported below: "Wait a minute, why did the number of infected people according to the statistics in the Northland decrease by a large amount? Did some officials commit suicide privately?"
