On the wedding night, the sick prince stood up!

Chapter 124 Floods
Soon the servant came back after inquiring, and it turned out that there were a lot of beggars in the capital unknowingly.

These beggars still came from the north and south, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, the soles of their shoes were worn out, so they were not beggars at all.

The beggars who came from the south came to prosperous places because they had no shelter because the houses were washed away by the flood.

However, those who went to the capital were a small number, and the capital was not far from the south. If they really came all the way to the capital, naturally a pair of shoes would not be enough.

And those who came from the north came to the capital because of the severe drought. I heard that because of the severe drought, there was no harvest, and naturally there was a famine without food.

However, there are floods in the south and droughts in the north, but there is no news of these things in the capital.

Gu Xiyue immediately sensed the seriousness of this matter, and took Chun Yu directly to Ye Wang's mansion regardless of the rouge on the beauty's face.

If Ye Di knew about this matter, there would naturally be a solution, and it was not her turn to be anxious, but what she was worried about was that someone would lie to him, and Ye Di didn't know about it.

Drought is fine, we just need relief to get through it, but flood is different, if someone is drowned, the floating corpse will rot on the surface of the water and bacteria will grow, and then a plague will evolve.

Ancient people didn't have purifiers or tap water pipes, they usually just drank water, floating corpses rotted and bred bacteria in the upstream, and people in the downstream got sick naturally and gave birth to plague after drinking it.

Gu Xiyue didn't dare to think about how to control this ancient times with backward medical equipment if an uncontrolled plague broke out.

She thought of the methods of control recorded in the history books, sealing off the city and setting fire to it, slaughtering and burning corpses, this is probably the only fastest and most convenient way to control the plague.

Although I went to the countryside to do as the Romans did, most of them accepted the ancient life, but I can think of these human lives.

She is a miraculous doctor, and the doctor's parents love her. How can she see these people die in vain?
The carriage was already driving very fast on the road, but Gu Xiyue still felt that time passed very slowly.

When she reached the gate of Ye Wang's mansion, Gu Xiyue lifted her skirt and jumped off the carriage. She came to Ye Wushang's study by running.

Before Ye Wushang opened his mouth to ask, Gu Xiyue said out of breath, "My lord is not well, and the number of beggars in the capital has increased, so I sent someone to inquire carefully. These people are refugees from the north and the south."

"refugee?"

Apparently Ye Wushang didn't know about the refugees either, and he still had doubts on his face.

Gu Xiyue's heart turned cold, "Didn't the lord get the news? Now that there is a flood in the south, the houses have been washed down by the water, and the people have been displaced."

"There is a famine in the north because of the drought and the lack of crops. Disasters have occurred in the north and the south. Does the capital know nothing about it?"

"boom!"

Ye Wushang stood up one by one, and the inkstone next to him was knocked to the ground and made a loud noise.

I saw his face was very serious, "Yue'er, how did you know about this?"

"Today I saw beggars stealing things with my own eyes at the rouge shop, but these beggars are different from those in the past. I will ask you to ask people to find out."

"It's okay if you don't inquire. Once you inquire, you will know that these people are refugees."

Gu Xiyue said anxiously, "If it's a drought, it's easy to transport food to relieve the disaster, but it's different in a flood. If a flood washes away a house and kills a person, the floating corpse will wander and rot in the river."

"At that time, the plague will breed, and the river will be filled up and drunk by the unknowing downstream, and the plague will be difficult to control."

"We must find a way to solve this matter, and we must let His Majesty know."

At this time, Gu Xiyue continued, "Droughts are not as good as floods to breed plagues, and famines are inevitable. At that time, people cannibalism made people panic. My lord, this matter should not be underestimated."

"The worst thing is that there will be a chain reaction from the north to the south. At that time, the plague in the south will go to the north. If we follow the method of controlling the plague in the past..."

Gu Xiyue's expression was particularly ugly, "I'm afraid that the city will be sealed off and the corpses burned. I don't know how many innocent people died of the plague."

In fact, Gu Xiyue was right in everything she said, and the development of this matter should not be underestimated.

But now that the refugees have all arrived in the capital, it is conceivable that things have reached the worst stage.

Ye Wushang clenched his fists and said angrily, "Someone must be lying!"

He said to Gu Xiyue, "You stay in the mansion with peace of mind, the king will come into the palace now, whether this matter is true or not, father must know."

After speaking, Ye Wushang hurriedly left, while Gu Xiyue sat on the chair and frowned.

In fact, it is not difficult to create a prescription to cure the plague, the difficulty is to control it, and I am even more afraid that Emperor Ye will directly sacrifice those people suffering from the plague for the sake of the overall situation.

She could only pray silently. Now that the plague has not appeared, there is still a chance of preservation.

Sure enough, Ye Di didn't know about this matter. When Ye Wushang entered the palace and told him, Ye Di was even more surprised than Ye Wushang.

He directly pushed down the memorial on the table, stood up and turned around in the Tai Chi Palace, with anger visible to the naked eye on his face.

"How unreasonable! As the king of a country, I was kept in the dark?"

"They said at the beginning that it was a small flood, and they only needed to transfer a wave of money to relieve the disaster."

"It's the same in the north. I asked for money to help the disaster. Why are the refugees already in the capital?"

It turned out that Yedi was not unaware of the drought and flood, but the ministers who reported it were simplified, so they asked Yedi for money to relieve the disaster.

As for the follow-up report, it was safe, and the truth was not reported at all.

Yedi manages so many things on a daily basis, how could he watch everything by himself, it's natural for people to take advantage of the loopholes.

Pointing at the memorial on the ground, Emperor Ye said angrily, "I work for the people and the world every day, but they lie to the top and the bottom, and they are afraid of being reprimanded by me, so they ignore the people!"

"How heartbroken I am!"

Seeing Yedi trembling with anger, Ye Wushang was afraid that he would collapse in anger.

Ye Wushang quickly said, "Father's most urgent task is not to be sad, but to send people to the north and south to investigate the matter quickly, to see if there is any difference between the people of the two sides."

"Drought brings famine, and I am afraid it will lead to the horror of cannibalism."

"And the flood brought a more serious plague. The flood washed away the houses, killing and injuring countless people and animals. Floating corpses floated upstream to rot, and people downstream drank the water unknowingly."

"If the plague really appears, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control!"

After hearing this, Yedi's face changed suddenly, he put away his anger and quickly ordered someone to investigate the matter.

Then he said to Ye Wushang, "Shang'er, thanks to you telling me about this, otherwise something would really go wrong, and I would really be a sinner through the ages."

Ye Wushang shook his head, "I don't blame my father for this matter, it's those ministers who lied to me. My father was still too kind to them. They even wanted to hide the truth, disregarding the comfort of the people and only caring about their own black hats."

Hearing what Ye Wushang said, Yedi really looked angry again.

"I can't keep this group of courtiers who don't care about the common people."

It looked like he was about to bleed, Ye Di was really furious this time.
