Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

The damage caused by pimple plague was far more serious than they imagined, and it was still difficult to recover in the following years.Due to the rampant epidemic, many villages and towns have become empty cities.The number of households has decreased sharply, and children have almost disappeared.The banditry became more and more serious, and many bandit leaders even recruited refugees everywhere and set up uprisings.As a result, wars continued everywhere.Large tracts of land are deserted and uncultivated.

The headcount is insufficient, the fields are uncultivated, the local taxes are difficult to collect, the national treasury is getting more and more empty, and even the army's salary cannot be allocated when the household department is in trouble.The army had already lost many soldiers because of pimple plague, their morale plummeted, and they were short of food and clothing and couldn't pay the army. When the chaos was quelled, the army's morale was slackened, and they acted tired and procrastinated. A small battle often dragged on for several months and could not be quelled. .Later, there were even generals who led their soldiers directly to the rebel army.

Therefore, when Yin Chengyu returned to the palace later, although the capital was still singing and dancing, the imperial court's control over the local area was actually not as good as before.The entire Dayan was in turmoil, precarious.

In order to fill the treasury, he had to find ways to get money out of the pockets of those corrupt officials.But even so, the scars left by the plague for several years cannot be healed in a short while.

Until Yin Chengyu's death, Dayan hadn't fully recovered from the epidemic, and it couldn't be compared with its former prosperity.

When the pimple plague broke out in the previous life, he was still imprisoned in the imperial tomb. Although he escaped by luck, he also missed the best time to control it.The neglect of court officials and the laissez-faire of Emperor Longfeng caused the plague to spread across the north, and even began to spread to the south.In the next few years, the court and the people suffered a lot from it.

Even if the imperial court later realized the horror of pimple plague and wanted to curb it, it was too late.

Now that Xue Shu discovered the source of the pimple plague early by mistake, he must find a way to contain it as soon as possible, and must not spread like in the previous life.

Yin Chengyu took a few steps, looked at Xue Shu, and said with a heavy tone, "Zi Yuan Master must be found as soon as possible, and more people must be sent to find it at all costs. If you still can't find it..." He paused, with a cold expression: " ...and try to find a substitute."

He is too aware of Emperor Longfeng's temperament. Even if he played the harm of Chen Ming's pimple plague, Emperor Longfeng would not pay attention to it. In other words, as long as it did not threaten his throne, he would not care about the lives of ordinary people at all. .

Even if he has a prophet, if he pins his hopes on Emperor Longfeng, he may only repeat the mistakes of his previous life.

He must dismiss Emperor Longfeng and get the power to supervise the country as soon as possible.

"Wei Xihe and his party have already arrived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Send a letter to him and ask him to find out the grain merchants, medicine merchants, water transportation, etc. in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, just in case."

If the pimple plague in Shanxi cannot be controlled and the epidemic spreads in the north, it is necessary to adjust food and medicine from the south for support.

Yin Chengyu slowly recalled the previous methods of dealing with the plague, asked Zheng Duobao to spread out a pen and paper, and said to Xue Shu: "Tell Gu about the situation in Shanxi carefully, without missing anything."

Xue Shu told him as much as possible what he saw along the way.

Yin Chengyu wrote down the main points, but fell into deep thought.

At this time in the last life, there was no lump plague in Shanxi.

According to the records in the file, Shunde Mansion was the first place where the disease appeared, and then Hejian Mansion and Daming Mansion successively had small-scale outbreaks of the disease.The records at the time didn't even realize that it was not an ordinary blight but pimple plague.

But that should be a year from now.

Around February of the 19th year of Longfeng, there were people infected with the disease one after another in various prefectures in Zhili, and then in April and May, there was another drought and locust plague, especially in Daming Prefecture.There are countless people who starve to death.After that, the pimple plague spread in a large area of ​​Daming Mansion, and then spread to the entire Zhili, so that it was later introduced to the capital.

When he returned to the palace in his last life, the pimple plague had broken out for four or five years. After countless deaths, the epidemic had calmed down.Later, he went through all the files that recorded the plague and traced its origin.No matter where it is recorded, there is no mention of the earliest occurrence of the epidemic in Shanxi.

The epidemic cannot be changed by humans. If the epidemic broke out in Shanxi in this life, it must have happened in the previous life.

However, the local records of the previous life did not mention that there was an epidemic in Shanxi in Longfeng in 18, so there is only one possibility—Shanxi concealed the epidemic and temporarily controlled the spread of the epidemic in this year.

It is easy to understand that Shanxi concealed the epidemic.

Zhou Weishan, the governor of Shanxi Province, has reached the year of his official career, and he has handed over the paperwork for his official career to Emperor Longfeng.Just wait until the end of this year, when the term of office expires, he can be promoted to an official position.If at this juncture, he reported the outbreak of the epidemic in Shanxi, not to mention suing the elderly for support, he might even be charged for his ineffectiveness.

As for controlling the spread of the epidemic, Yin Chengyu tapped the table with his fingers, feeling that it was not a good intention.

It seems that Zhou Weishan controlled the epidemic by mistake in order to cover up the epidemic.

Yin Chengyu took up his pen again, and circled "burn the corpse" and "immediately execute the infected person".

"On the Origin and Symptoms of Various Diseases" says: 'When a person gets sick due to a surly spirit, the sickness will be easily transferred to other people, and even destroy the family and spread to outsiders. It is also mentioned in "Compendium of Treating Epidemics" that "don't get close to the patient's bed, and don't get dirty with it; don't rely on the coffin of the dead, and don't touch the smell; don't eat sick home vegetables; don't pick up The clothes of the dead are all to avoid their evil spirits. Looking at the current situation in Shanxi, it shows that this method can also be followed for Pimple Plague.”

Since the epidemic in Shanxi can be controlled for a short period of time, and the outbreak in Damingfu and other places is delayed until the following year, it shows that the ancient method is still useful.

As long as the spread of the epidemic in Shanxi is controlled, and famous doctors are summoned to find a cure, it may be possible to avoid a large-scale outbreak like the one in the previous life.

"The epidemic situation in Shanxi must be reported as soon as possible before it can be taken seriously." Yin Chengyu put down his pen and said to Xue Shu, "You can make arrangements, whether it is trying to get the local officials to hand over the papers or make the refugees make trouble... as long as the movement is big enough, you can let it go Do."

This time, Yin Chengyu must contain the epidemic from the source no matter what.

Xue Shu cupped his hands, and when he raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were hot and enthusiastic.

He knew that His Highness would never abandon the people.

When Yin Chengyu was concentrating on the countermeasures, he seemed to see the god who floated down to Yutai back then.He stood on a high place, his whole body was cold and desolate, but when he looked down, his eyes were more compassionate than the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

Gods and Buddhas cannot save the world, but he can.

Only such a person is worthy of being an emperor and his allegiance.

Xue Shu's heart was constricted, and indescribable feelings flowed in his blood.Like hot magma churning and galloping under the rock formation.

Wanting to worship him, but also wanting to drag him into the mortal world and take it as his own.

But in the end, he just stared at him deeply, and said solemnly: "I will not disgrace my life."

After Yin Chengyu explained the business, he remembered what he said earlier, and asked curiously: "When did you experience the epidemic? Why have you never heard of it?"

Unexpectedly, when he suddenly asked about this, Xue Shu lowered his eyes and fell silent.

Those old things that have been going on for many years emit a stench of corruption in invisible corners, and he doesn't want to mention them to Yin Chengyu.

In this way, it seems that he can also wash away the muddy body and get closer to the cold moon above the nine heavens.

Seeing that he was silent, Yin Chengyu narrowed his eyes and looked at him carefully.He intuited that Xue Shu had something to hide from him.

He was a little unhappy, Xue Shu had too many secrets.

The same is true in the previous life.

He doesn't know anything about Xue Shu's past history, he doesn't know why he entered the palace, and he doesn't know what he experienced after entering the palace to climb to the position of one person below one person and above ten thousand people, and he doesn't know why he chose to be imprisoned The imperial mausoleum has nothing of itself.

In terms of appearance, neither Yin Chengzhang nor Yin Chengjing is bad, and their status is not inferior to him; in terms of control, the fourth prince Yin Chengxu, whose biological mother died young, is easier to control.

But he chose him, stretched out his hand, and pulled him from one quagmire to another abyss.

Countless entrusted backs, countless lives and deaths together.He was afraid of being addicted to it, so he could only hold him tightly, and kept warning himself, don't take it seriously.

After all, they are not all the same.

But people are not dead things, and the heart also has a bias.After years of getting along, they were already inseparable, and he couldn't remain indifferent.

The emotions in Yin Chengyu's eyes flickered, and after a long time, he said coldly: "If you don't want to say it, then get out."

Xue Shu pursed his lips, stared at him for a few breaths, but did not speak, and bowed to leave.

The sky outside was cloudy, and it was just after the fourth watch.

But Yin Chengyu couldn't fall asleep anymore. He recorded the main points of the response one by one, and gradually improved and improved it based on the experience of the previous life.

By twilight, less than half of the booklet had been written densely.He put away the booklet, took out another piece of rice paper, and hung his pen on it for a while before writing.

The person in the painting is dressed in a luxurious python robe, and his eyebrows and eyes are full of hostility.

It was Xue Shu from the previous life.

Yin Chengyu stared at the person in the painting for a long time, thinking of the intertwined scars on his chest, his unknown origin, and those black eyes looking at him, as if filled with countless inexplicable emotions.

"How many things have you kept from Gu?" Yin Chengyu drew a cross on the portrait with a brush, and said angrily, ""One day, Gu will let you tell it yourself. "

He threw down the pen, crumpled the portrait and threw it into the wastebasket before returning to the inner room to rest.

Ten days later, April 21.

Sun Yao, the commander of Andong Central Guard in Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province, rushed to sue Zhou Weishan, the governor of Shanxi Province, for concealing the epidemic, disregarding human life, and greedy for food for disaster relief.As a result, major famines broke out in many places in Shanxi.The living were starving and eating rats, or were burned at the stake due to disease. In just half a month, tens of thousands of people died.

Zhou Weishan also forced the soldiers of the guard to dispose of the corpses, so that the soldiers of the guard were also infected with the disease. Now there are only less than [-] of the [-] soldiers left.

In the memorial, Sun Yao described the tragic situation in Shanxi, every word and every sentence was heartbroken, which caused an uproar in the court.

University scholar Lu Jing and others cared about the common people's society, and immediately asked Emperor Longfeng to immediately allocate silver and send more people to Shanxi for disaster relief.

But Emperor Longfeng still hesitated: "Why don't you send people to verify the situation first. Epidemics occur every year, and Sun Yao's lawsuit against his superiors is already against the law, and he may be exaggerating."

When the court hall was arguing about whether to send people to Shanxi to verify the situation or directly send people to provide disaster relief, Shuntian Fu Yin played again, saying that there was a group of rats crossing the river with their tails in the river, which might be a bad omen.

The author has something to say:

Gougou: Love Your Highness a little more every day.

Dog Hook: Your Highness sticks it!
