Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 142
So everyone explained the matter to the palace steward.

"Hahahaha!"

The palace steward burst into laughter on the spot.

Everyone looked sideways, wondering why he was laughing.

"Butler, I wonder why you are laughing?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked everyone the doubts in their hearts.

"Master Zhu, and Dong Canjun, do you still remember that in the house in the east of the city, in addition to the one hundred thousand stones of food, there were also countless gold, silver, jewelry, silver notes, and land deeds?"

"What does the butler mean?"

"I said at the beginning that this was ill-gotten wealth. As for its disposal, we still need to discuss it with Governor Fang. But now that Governor Fang is unable to retreat, I can only discuss it with Dong Canjun."

"What does the housekeeper mean... to use this ill-gotten wealth to buy rice from those rice shops in their rice shops?" Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly realized.

Following Zhu Xiuyuan's explanation, everyone understood.

Then he stared blankly at the palace steward.

That’s a lot of ill-gotten wealth!
They have already been sent to the palace. Is the palace steward really willing to use them to buy rice?

"What Mr. Zhu said is right." The palace steward nodded and looked at Dong Cheng: "This batch of ill-gotten wealth must be the people's fat and the people's anointing. If you get it from the people, you will naturally use it for the people!"

"Gao Yi, the steward of the palace..."

"Poyang King Gaoyi..."

Everyone expressed their admiration.

from inner heart.

The smile on the face of the palace steward became wider and wider, and he said: "Dong Canjun, Zhu Gongzi, and all of you, I, the Poyang Palace, will buy the food for disaster relief this time. I believe that the shopkeepers of the rice shops will give me A 'right' price!"

"Thank you so much, butler..."

"Good talk good talk!"

……

The Prince of Poyang went to discuss "business" with a spear and a sword, so it was natural that there would be no disadvantage.

The shopkeepers of Mihang were forced to accept the "reasonable" selling price offered by Poyang Prince's Palace after trying various methods without success.

Open the warehouse and let the ants move the food away one by one...

The palace steward was secretly happy.

Buying so much disaster relief food at a "reasonable" price will not let others say that the Poyang Palace is bullying others. After all, they have paid for it.

You can also get a good reputation at the same time!

What a bargain.

But in any case, the problem of food shortage has been solved.

The most critical issue now is the prescription to treat the plague.

So Zhu Xiuyuan immediately rushed to the Chenghuang Temple.

Doctor Zhang prepared and tested prescriptions here.

"Has the problem of plague infection been contained?" Doctor Zhang glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan, then lowered his head and fiddled with a table of medicinal materials with a very serious expression.

"Another 6 to [-] people were infected last night, which is much lower than before!" Zhu Xiuyuan replied.

"Oh?" Doctor Zhang stopped moving his hands and looked slightly surprised. "In addition to the isolation method, it seems that my other methods are also very effective."

"It is far from enough. We must reduce the number of infections every day and completely eliminate infections."

"For this reason, the palace steward has ordered the royal family generals and the soldiers of the Jiangzhou camp to act as 'supervisory troops' and punish those who do not abide by the rules..." Zhu Xiuyuan said firmly.

Doctor Zhang continued to play with his medicinal ingredients.

"Foolish people, who hide their illnesses and avoid medical treatment, deserve to be infected with the plague!" he said softly.

Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth twitched.

My heart said that this genius doctor Zhang...is too speechless.

Do you hate "foolish people" so much?
"But it is foreseeable that many people will lose their lives because of this... Brother Zhu, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world?"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled lightly. "There is no way to do this. In ancient times, it was necessary to kill chickens to warn monkeys. At this critical period, if we don't use cool methods to rectify it, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve! Generally speaking, I am also for the good of everyone. I just need to have a clear heart!"

"What a 'I have a clear conscience', haha, this is what I mean!" Doctor Zhang said with a smile.

……

While Zhu Xiuyuan was chatting and laughing with Divine Doctor Zhang, the royal family generals in silver armor and silver helmets, and the Jiangzhou camp soldiers wearing armor and holding spears, had been divided into several small teams, patrolling around the city.

Murderous.

Not far to the west of the Chenghuang Temple, there is a temporary "quicklime firing workshop".

Quicklime is produced here day and night.

To meet the disinfection needs of the entire Jiangzhou City, especially the isolation area.

"It's so unreasonable. We have all become victims of the disaster, and we are forced to take a bath, change clothes, and drink gall-like medicine..."

A young disaster victim complained softly.

Walk slowly away from the "Quick Lime Burning Workshop".

His clothes were very tattered, and the strips of cloth were fluttering in the wind, but they were relatively clean, except for the lime stained on them.

The tattered clothes were clean because they were changed just last night.

There was lime on it, indicating that he worked in a "quick lime burning workshop".

He muttered as he walked along the street to a place ahead.

That place was a temporary public toilet.

Everyone nearby must go there if they need to use the toilet.

Those in the "propaganda team" have talked about this many times with gongs and drums.

When he passed in front of a small alley, his steps stopped suddenly.

Turn around.

See no one.

He walked into the alley.

"I want to pee here, but I don't want to go to that toilet. Let's see what you can do to me!"

With a sense of vengeance, he aimed at the wall and started to release water...

However, he had just filled half of the water when a loud roar suddenly came from outside the alley: "If you release filth privately, you should be killed! Come on, take it down for me!"

The sound sounded like a loud bell, like a gong.

This young disaster victim was doing an "illegal" thing. Although he felt a sense of vengeance in his heart, he was inevitably guilty.

Therefore, the loud roar not far away was like a bolt from the blue to him.

Terrified both.

He hurriedly stuffed the object that was filled with water back, and his pants got wet.

But he couldn't care less.

He hurriedly turned his head and looked out of the alley, only to see a group of about 30 to [-] soldiers, with silver armor and helmets, holding long guns and big knives hanging from their waists, surrounding the alley, staring at him covetously.

"Master..."

He was terrified.

He remembered what the "propaganda team" said: whoever violates the law on preventing and controlling plague first will be killed to scare the monkeys!
Moreover, the word "dangzhan" in the military master's words just now always echoed in his mind.

Behead him, it will cost him his life!
He was so frightened that he couldn't speak completely.

I wanted to run away, but my legs and feet felt like they were filled with lead and I couldn't move.

He could only watch helplessly as those military masters swooped over, like tigers stalking their prey, detaining him one on the left and the other on the right...

He only felt that the two arms held by the military men were almost broken, and it hurt so much from being pinched...
