Chapter 682 The Son of a Thousand Gold (41)

The two countries go to war.

every day.

Linghulan will receive the brochures from the border.

With Guo Feng guarding the frontier, Linghu Lan felt a lot more at ease. Guo Feng always strives for progress in battle, and it seems that there will be no major mistakes.

only……

Misfortunes never come singly, and blessings never come singly.

Soon.

A plague broke out in Yucheng.

The plague was so fierce that it quickly swept across the entire city of Yu.

Linghu Lan's eyes turned red when she saw Zhezi.

"To Your Majesty, to the Regent, I'm afraid that this plague is caused by evil spirits, and it is time to get rid of the evil spirits as soon as possible."

"Exactly, please Your Majesty to offer sacrifices to the heavens and the earth, and ask the local monks to perform deeds to drive away evil spirits, so as to prevent the plague from spreading and spreading to other places."

"Currently the plague is only happening in Yucheng and its surrounding areas. I thought that all the surrounding people should be moved to Yucheng, so as not to cause people to panic and run around, which would instead expand the epidemic!"

A female officer raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, and the Regent, it rained in Yucheng for more than a month before the epidemic. At the beginning, the epidemic was actually exposed, and a doctor had already reported the situation to Yucheng. Ma Siqin, the prefect, refuted the doctor's rumors and locked him in prison until the epidemic spread and broke out. Ma Siqin neglected his duties and was self-willed. Please, Your Majesty, the Regent, please investigate!"

Linghu Lan's flesh hurts.

The cause of this outbreak is not difficult to guess.

Yucheng has just experienced a war, and Yucheng is located in the south of the Yujiang River, the climate is warm, and it rains continuously, which breeds bacteria, which leads to the outbreak of the plague.

but……

"Your Majesty gave Yucheng 10 taels of silver to bury the corpses after the war. Did she, Ma Siqin, follow His Majesty's orders? How did the soldiers' corpses be disposed of? Check it out for me! If it is found out that Ma Siqin was enriching his own pockets, he will be killed." !!!”

Linghu Lan threw away the notebook angrily, burning with worry.

"Order to build a nursing home in Yucheng. Anyone who is infected with the epidemic will be moved to the nursing home for centralized treatment. Anyone who does not comply will be executed!"

"Allow 50 taels of silver. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, no matter whether they have relatives or not, they will all be given coffins to dig deep and bury. Anyone who is corrupt will be beheaded!"

"The original burial place of the soldiers who died in the war will be re-checked. If the burial is not deep enough, they will be burned in a centralized manner, and lime will be sprinkled to kill the poison. Soldiers who died for the country, if they can find their family members, each household will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver. Erect a monument and engrave the names of the soldiers who died in battle, so that future generations will remember it. Burning it is a last resort, and the merits are in the hearts of the people. Anyone who is corrupt and violates the order, beheaded!"

"Lingtai Hospital organizes doctors to rush to Yucheng to participate in the treatment, asking for money for money and medicine for medicine. The imperial court will reward all the doctors who go to Yucheng!"

"..."

A series of decrees and measures were arranged in an orderly manner.

The officials were completely convinced this time.

"I will obey your orders!"

After the court was over, the officials were still talking about it. It was true that when they heard about the outbreak, everyone had a headache.

On one side is war and on the other is epidemic.

Both are major events that cost people and money, and both are worrying enough.

But the regent announced a lot of measures in one breath, and everyone's hearts were at ease at once. With the backbone, it was much easier to do errands again.

Soon.

One measure after another reached Yucheng.

Ma Siqin and other corrupt officials were investigated and dealt with, new officials were appointed to take office, and a nursing home and a soldier cemetery were established.

Led by the Imperial Hospital, doctors were recruited from all over the country to Yucheng, and people were recruited from all over the country to participate in the burial.

Everything went on the right track, and there were no riots of public grievances.
