Two hundred and forty sixth
This epidemic is like drawing a circle, from Xuanning Palace to the entire royal city, from the royal city to the entire Haojing Capital, step by step, the entire royal capital is extended outward, and the next step is the entire royal capital. What kind of terrible scene will that be? The royal capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty has almost no soldiers to defend against the enemy, and almost no people to cultivate ------
No, he shook his head violently, and he must not let this situation happen again and again, and must be stopped!
"Report to the Prime Minister: Please see the order of Haojing." A clerk came into the forest and reported.
"Call him in." Zhao Bohu's face darkened.
When he entered the hall, he saw a bearded and robe clerk with his hair bowed quickly and said, "The four gates of Haojing have been closed. All the officers and soldiers of the Duwei Mansion obey the prime minister's orders patrolling the city day and night without interruption."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Zhao Bohu sighed: "This is originally the position of Sima of the royal city, but now the good general is trapped in the royal city. You have to work hard on both sides of the army and the civilians!"
"This is the duty of the minister, why should the prime minister do this?"
"By the way, what's the situation in the city?" As soon as the city gate was closed, people would inevitably be in a state of turmoil. This is the thing Zhao Bohu was most worried and concerned about.
"It's okay now. If food, grass, drinking water can be supplied, the city gate will be autistic for more than half a year, and it doesn't matter. As for the people, they just need to have food and drink, and they won't think much about it. But at this time the epidemic is a little erratic. Everyone knows that this disease is unsolvable. This is a big problem. Who is willing to wait for death in the distressed city?
Zhao Bohu seemed not to want to take on this matter and asked, "How are the rats in the city? Are there really so many?"
"When it comes to this, it's really evil!" Hao Jingling frowned: "On the night, mice were running everywhere in the city. They rushed out of the well and from the gutter, as if a rat army ran out from the ground. It's really evil!"
"What do you mean, someone deliberately did this?" Zhao Bohu raised his eyebrows and thoughtful.
"My name------" Haojing Ling hesitated for a while, but decided to tell the truth: "The matter of Xuanning Palace is widely circulated in the city. Since the rat Gu can be used to spread the epidemic once, how can we ensure that it will not be used again? What is important now is that the prescription for relieving the epidemic - Prince Tu Ge was released, but only exchanged for a fake prescription. My Da Zhou had no bargaining chips to exchange for. At this time, it is useless to rely on prevention on the epidemic, and we should find a way to solve the problem. According to my opinion, it is better to summon those in the city who are proficient in the "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" to study medicine day and night to find the prescription for the epidemic."
Zhao Bohu responded lightly: "The Imperial Physicians Department in the palace has been pondering for more than a month, but there is still no progress. Perhaps, it may not be necessary for the people to have masters, so you can do it!"
"No!" Hao Jingling left.
After the Prime Minister's Mansion was strict, Haojing became an iron barrel-like fortress that was not allowed to enter or exit. This kind of closure of the whole city caught off guard and put many unprepared people in a state of sudden separation.
On the day the law was implemented, only a few hours later, the Haojing official office was overwhelmed. Countless people who asked for help each other looked for their own ways and talked about their respective situations, but unfortunately none of them could be considered. It took the people several days to understand that they had no room for maneuver, and words such as "compromise" and "care" had lost their meaning.
People found that the once busy official inn was like a clinic. However, no one of the patients who entered were carried in lying dying or struggling to be supported and walked in. They were afraid! Panic spreading----
At the city gates on the southeast, west and north sides of Haojing, there are always some people gathering from morning to night every day, begging for the mercy of the gatekeepers and asking for the city to leave. Unexpectedly, they return in disappointment every time. Sometimes they may be whipped by soldiers and have small-scale conflicts broke out. Such things are endless. The royal army guarding the guards of Haojing are exhausted and have difficulty dealing with them. They are already very hard to deal with, and they can't take care of other things.
Outside the official inn of Yanzuo Medical Center, there are always some women with tears in their arms holding baskets on their arms, looking at the gate of the medical center, hoping to deliver some food to their relatives inside. Of course, their wishes are impossible to come true.
Of course, there are exceptions.
It was midsummer and strong winds were blowing. Haojing City was located at a high level, without any natural barriers, and strong winds could drive straight into the streets and alleys, and it was unstoppable. It was almost a month since there was no rain in the city. The whole city was covered with a thin shell of dust, which was lifted up by the strong wind. The dust and paper flew with the wind, like waves, hitting the legs and feet of the increasingly rare pedestrians.
It was already dusk, and the night fell faster with the help of the strong wind. The streets were empty, and only the wind was constantly wailing. The waves of the water outside the city seemed to be surging in invisible places, rolling up a scent of moisture and water plants. This city, which was missing, was stained grayish yellow by dust, echoing the whistling of the wind, and whistling like an isolated island of suffering.
It is a blessing that there are often women with sadness and vegetables in front of the inn. A young man walked into the gate of the inn in the middle of the Xiao Feng, which attracted the attention of the gatekeeper and quickly asked for his purpose. The person who came here either the patient or the patient's family. It is difficult for such a strong young man to come in without attracting attention.
The young man pointed to the sheepskin sign hanging on the exterior wall and said, "I'm here to apply."
"Entermination?" The gatekeeper was very surprised. The notice of recruiting the experts from the Xinglin area has been hanging on the list for several days. There are only a few responders. Why is it today? He looked at the young man up and down, with a sharp look and light body and quick breath, and he didn't look like a person with medical skills at all. He shook his head involuntarily: "You-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A little bit of a thing."
“What medical books have you read?”
"A quick look at the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, and there will be a few grass-headed squares in the countryside." The young man replied faintly: "Although I am young, I see that the people in the city suffer so much, and I have nowhere to repay me. I think you are just in time for employment. Why should I refuse me outside the door?"
The doorman thought about it, even though this young man was not good at medical skills, he seemed to have enough strength and would be a good player to carry the stretcher. He nodded: "In this way, you can stay! By the way, what's your name?"
"In the lower Chongqing Li."
When people had a clear understanding of their situation, the atmosphere in Haojing City underwent a strange change - the wineries and teahouses in the city actually flourished abnormally. The common people no longer cared about the gains and losses of a pound of millet, but instead lined up in front of the most well-known and high-end wineries in the city in groups, with the only restaurants on the long street full of families.
Correspondingly, the advocates gradually became busy. In that era, short dwarfs were born to be a good material for the entertainment industry of the Advocate. Because of their physical limitations, they could not join the army and could not take a hoe. They could only make a living by doing this cheap karma that makes people laugh.
The teahouse that Zhao Bohu once visited on the long street was full, and people were listening to the singing of two great men. A woman in white clothes and a white face was so white that she couldn't tell her original skin color was singing "Xinglu": "Isn't it that I am tired of traveling in the city? Isn't it that I walk too much? Who says that I have no horns, how can I wear my house? Who says that women have no home, how can I go quickly? Even if I have no home, how can I go quickly? Even if I have no home, how can I go quickly? If I have no home, how can I go quickly? If I have no home, how can I go quickly? If I have no home, how can I go quickly!"
This is a nameless woman who refuses to marry a married man. The singing is like flowing water. The woman also adds a tremolo that was originally not available, which makes the tone look more graceful and uses tears to attract the viewer's mercy.
"Okay!" There were continuous cheers of cheers in the teahouse seats. People whispered and talked, no wonder the merchants on the long street invited the pair of good people to sing in the store, which was full of extraordinary skills and tear-jerking.
This is a duet between men and women. The woman refused to marry, and the man was on the way. People pricked up their ears to listen to the shocking sound. The male actor was also wearing white clothes and radiating a jade crown. Although it was covered with pink, it was not as thick as the female champion. It faintly revealed an unnatural blush. He seemed to be encouraged by the audience and walked towards the woman in an exaggerated and ridiculous manner.
He didn't care about his appearance, spread his arms and legs, and slumped openly to the ground in the setting of the sheep pen-------This scene seemed very inconsistent with the plot, and people began to feel something was wrong. The musician's sheng accompaniment suddenly stopped, and the tea lovers stood up one after another, looking at the ground with fear, and some people began to retreat and slowly leave.
Gradually, the movement of the crowd gradually accelerated, and the whispers turned into loud shouts, and everyone rushed to the exit. Behind them, a sharp scream of a girl named Zhang: "Ah——, husband——" a louder voice.
The teahouse owner hid behind the counter, pinched his nose tightly, and shouted at the woman in a muffled voice: "What are you howling? You're infected with the epidemic and you're still coming out to harm people, making me unable to do this business! I'll have to close tomorrow. Why don't you get him out quickly?"
"Slow down!" With a low shout, the woman raised her head, saw a dark and bright face in tears, and instinctively asked for help, "Sir, can you help me?" Although she said this, the woman did not have much hope. After all, who is willing to get involved in the epidemic?
The visitor did not respond, and bent down and poked a finger under the male actor's nose and tried it, asserting: "He is not dead yet, he has just been infected with the epidemic and just fainted. The store owner!"
"What are you doing?" the shop owner said angrily.
"Beat a bowl of cold water."
"Do you still want to save him? What does it matter if you advocate excellence?" Since ancient times, farmers, industry and commerce have not even become rich and wealthy businessmen, let alone those who offer pleasure to others? Isn't that the lowest-class untouchable?
