Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2050, chaotic times use heavy code
In the streets and alleys of the capital, teams of officials and yamen servants wearing masks are constantly training. Whenever there are people gathering, they will be driven back immediately.

"Everyone in the capital, this is a special period when the plague is raging. Please don't gather together, suspend work, attend classes, and close business. Everyone should stay at home as much as possible, and prepare more food at once. Will the grain stores and vegetable markets Shut down, please don't worry about not having food to eat."

"Don't worry about your mortgage. The First Bank of Daming has officially announced that it will suspend your mortgage repayments until the plague passes and social order returns to normal!"

"If anyone at home has a fever, fever, or rabbit blood, please come to the street immediately. We will concentrate on isolation. Please rest assured that we will have professional care and care, and we will find a way to treat it."

"If someone in your family dies, please contact us immediately. We will cremate them uniformly. In this special matter, everyone must cooperate. Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished!"

The entire capital city seemed to be a barracks, teams of officers and soldiers set up checkpoints at important checkpoints, and all factories, schools, commercial blocks, etc. were strictly prohibited from starting work, opening, or starting school.

Everyone was driven back to their homes to stay honestly. At the same time, cars picked up sick people for centralized isolation and treatment.

There is no doubt that this is an effective way for future generations to deal with this infectious disease. The first is to isolate the pathogen, block the spread, and prevent the spread. The second is to conduct centralized cremation of those who have died of the disease to prevent it from becoming a new source of pollution.

Now it is a severe drought, and it is difficult for mice to find food. If it is not cremated and buried, it is very likely that it will be eaten by mice and spread further.

Blocking the source of infection and blocking infection are important means and steps for epidemic prevention.

But if you want everyone to stay at home honestly and not go out, the most important point is to let the common people have food and not have to worry about food.

Fortunately, the Beijing-Tianjin area is the economic center and transportation center of the Ming Dynasty. Food is the most indispensable. There are a large amount of food reserves, which are enough to meet the needs of the common people, allowing the common people to wait at home with peace of mind.

In the streets and alleys of the entire capital, at this moment, such scenes are constantly being staged, and teams of officials, yamen servants, and officers and soldiers are constantly busy.

At the same time, a rat eradication and disinfection campaign is also being carried out in the streets and alleys of the capital. Quicklime is spread everywhere, and various rat poisons are continuously sown. There are countless traps, cages, and various devices for catching rats. .

On the second day, there were so many dead and caught rats in the streets and alleys that they could be seen almost everywhere. These rats were quickly transported outside the city and burned clean.

Large-scale extermination of rats reduces the source of infection. At the same time, the death of a large number of rats also leaves more living space for the remaining rats, which can greatly reduce the contact between rats and humans and prevent people from being infected.

Disinfection with a large amount of quicklime can also kill more small infected animals such as fleas and rat fleas that carry plague, and further prevent the occurrence of infection.

This kind of operation is constantly staged in various parts of the capital, and the whole capital is filled with the smell of quicklime.

The common people naturally have no choice but to be obedient and do things according to the requirements. As long as there is food to eat and they are not starved to death, there is nothing to worry about. Anyway, the mortgage has been suspended, so there is nothing to worry about.

The income of ordinary people in the Beijing-Tianjin area has always been quite good, and they will not starve to death without working for a period of time. Everyone honestly follows the requirements, and it will pass quickly.

But there are still some people in the capital who refuse to follow the requirements because they have some background.

It's not that the old father of Zhang Hanlin's family just passed away from illness, Zhang Hanlin was going to make a big fuss to show his filial piety, but just happened to encounter this incident, so he didn't let the gathering at all, let alone do a big fuss to attend to the funeral up.

"Let me tell you, if anyone doesn't let us handle this funeral properly, I'll make you go all the way later."

"Since ancient times, all dynasties have paid attention to governing the world with filial piety, and this is even more so in today's world. Even if there are big things, you can't stop people from fulfilling filial piety!"

At the gate of Zhang Hanlin's mansion, Zhang Hanlin looked at the officials and servants in front of him extremely angrily.

Not only did these officials and servants not allow him to do anything, but they also wanted to take his father's body to be cremated. This made Zhang Hanlin furious, wishing to kill all these officials and servants in front of him.

I am a dignified Hanlin, they are just some officials and yamen servants, and they dare to bully me.

"Zhang Hanlin, don't make things difficult for us, we are just following the orders from above."

The leading official said with a dark face, the orders from above are very strict now, and the responsibility is assigned to the person. If something happens, he will lose his head at that time. It is not as simple as losing his job.

Otherwise, who would like to come out to do things at this time, wouldn't it be better to hide in the countryside?
"I see which one of you dares?"

Zhang Hanlin widened his eyes, preventing these officials and yamen servants from entering the mansion to take away his father's body.

"Zhang Hanlin, you are Hanlin, a minister of the imperial court. You should know that this is an extraordinary period, and you should also know the strict orders of the imperial court. Please cooperate with our work!"

The leading official said helplessly.

"Call your Fu Yin over here. I and your Fu Yin are classmates. I want to ask him in person, what can prevent people from being filial?"

Zhang Hanlin roared angrily, thinking that his father would be dragged to be cremated, he felt that he was an unfilial son, and that this man should be buried in the ground instead of being burned by a fire.

"Zhang Hanlin, since you insist on doing this, I will report it to you, and you will be punished at that time, so don't blame us."

The leading officer thought about it and said.

"You should report it. The prefects in this capital are all my classmates, and there are a lot of my disciples and old officials. I'm afraid of you people."

Zhang Hanlin said indifferently.

"Zhang Hanlin, you are an official!"

At this time, a lazy voice sounded, and Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a mask, came over.

He is the chief envoy of Beizhili, and he took the lead in this matter and came to the front line of the fight against the epidemic. This was opposed by many people, but he insisted on doing so, and finally Emperor Hongzhi agreed.

"See Your Royal Highness!"

Seeing that it was Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Hanlin quickly saluted.

"no!"

"Come here, arrest this Zhang Hanlin who disregards the court's laws, and deal with it later, arrest me!"

Zhu Houzhao gave him a cold look, then waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes~"

When the officials and servants around him heard this, they immediately arrested Zhang Hanlin, and then they rushed into Zhang's mansion and pulled out his father's coffin and transported it out for cremation.

"Father~ son is not filial! Son is not filial!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Hanlin couldn't help crying, and kept blaming himself for his unfilial piety. At the same time, his whole face turned ashen. Whoever met this was not good, but he happened to meet His Highness the Crown Prince.

At this time, the prince didn't stay in the palace well, but even ran out, and he wasn't afraid of being infected.

"Humph!"

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, and then went to patrol other places.

He expected that there would be some thorns in the capital who would not cooperate well, so he came out to patrol.

Sure enough, I encountered along the way, some factories were starting work to catch up with the goods regardless of the strictness, relying on the people behind their factories, completely ignoring the government's orders.

There are also grain stores who see that grain is easy to sell, and drive up prices there, making the country rich; there are also some rich and powerful children who gather in brothels to drink and have fun regardless of the epidemic.

In short, there are all kinds of things, some people rely on their own backs and some completely ignore the epidemic and still go their own way.

Zhu Houzhao encountered these, so he dealt with them unceremoniously.

"Send the order, and pass on the latest disposition to the radio, so that everyone in the capital can watch it for me!"

Zhu Houzhao's face was cold, and he must use extraordinary means in this extraordinary period, which is what Liu Jin said.

Now is the time, if the strict implementation is not carried out, it is unknown how many people will die by then.

You must know that after this measure was implemented, it took only two days for the number of new infections in the capital to drop precipitously, and no new infectious patients were found in many areas.

The effect is very significant, and the effect is also very large.

The main thing is to persist for another ten days and a half months, the epidemic can be brought under control, and order can be restored by then.

"Yes!"

When the officials under him heard this, they immediately went to handle the matter.

Soon, in the streets and alleys of the capital, people shouted again and again with tin horns.

"Qicai Textile Factory started production in disregard of the epidemic control. Now the Qicai Textile Factory is completely closed down. The owner of the Qicai Textile Factory is now a third-rank official Dali Siqing, demoted to common people and fined [-] taels of silver!"

"Zhang Zhishui and Zhang Hanlin of the Imperial Academy disregarded the control of the epidemic, and planned to make a big fuss, and prevented officials and government servants from transporting the source of infection. They are now removed from office and demoted to common people!"

"Li's Grain Store in Xincheng, South District of Beijing, deliberately raised the price of food, made a fortune for the country, and exiled the boss and his family to Cold Winter City!"

"."

As the officials and yamen servants continuously broadcast the latest punishment cases in the streets and alleys of the capital, the people in the whole capital can't help but change their expressions slightly, because among these people dealt with are many high officials of the imperial court, and there are also some famous people in the capital. Brother son, now those who are dismissed are dismissed, those who are imprisoned, and the fines are also huge.

It can be said to be very strict, and the effect is also very significant. Everyone in the capital cooperated honestly.
