At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 129 Concealing the Epidemic
Yang Guang single-handedly promoted him to become an imperial physician, and he will always remember this kind of kindness in his heart and never forget it in his life.

After hearing that Yu Wenhua had killed Yang Guang, he wept even more and almost followed him away.

"Ahem, old doctor, you have mistaken someone. Although he looks like Yang Guang, but...it is not Yang Guang." Xu Mu opened his eyes and said nonsense, but Yang Guang fell into a coma and couldn't hear him at all.

The crying stopped abruptly.

Chao Yuanfang slowly raised his head, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Xu Mu suspiciously.

It seems that he wants to confirm Xu Mu's words...

The news that Yu Wenhua hanged the late emperor to death has spread all over the country.

Yang Tong has succeeded to the throne, and Yang Guang is basically the kind of dead...

"Yang Guang has long since died in Jiangdu. Sima Dekan's subordinate Linghu Xingda hanged himself to death and announced it to the world. Did the old imperial doctor forget?"

Xu Mu reminded again.

Only then did Chao Yuanfang slowly nod his head, but his expression was still a bit astonished and unnatural, "Of course the old man remembers, it's just...there are people so similar in the world."

Xu Mu shrugged, patted him on the shoulder and said, "From now on, you just need to remember that Yang Guang is dead. There is only the director of the Municipal Planning Department in the world, and there is no Yang Guang anymore."

His words are very meaningful.

Lao Fang is in charge of political affairs and is extremely loyal to him. Everything in Wanmin City was also built by him.

So Xu Mu has absolute control.

Adding that Yang Guang was "dead", he didn't have to worry about people like Chao Yuanfang and Er Pei recognizing Yang Guang.

He believed that even if they recognized him, Lao Yang would not dare to recognize them.

……

The Lord's Mansion Building.

After Xu Mu's return, Fang Xuanling happily handed in a report on new epidemics.

"My lord, the number of sick people yesterday was the lowest since the epidemic was rampant, only 45!" Fang Xuanling's face showed excitement.

You know, this is an epidemic!

If a county government is destroyed at every turn, and if one is not well controlled, the state and county will be affected.

He never thought that since the outbreak of the epidemic for half a month, the lord could suppress this rampant and invisible epidemic with various measures!

After this incident, he admired Xu Mu even more, and became more confident in the future of Wanmin City.

With such a lord, why worry about failure?
Xu Mu took the report and read it as well.

Thousands were detected at the beginning, but then hundreds of new ones were added in a single day, and gradually dropped to 45...

After reading these, his hanging heart finally let go.

This means that the epidemic has not continued to spread and break out.

"Although the epidemic is under control, 45 new cases are added every day, which means that the epidemic is still infecting people among the people in Wanmin City." After thinking about it, Xu Mu said in a deep voice.

Fang Xuanling nodded: "My lord said exactly what my lord said. In the past few days, my subordinates have dispatched all the small officials that the lord's mansion can send out to measure their body temperature every day and screen out people who are suspected of being sick, but..."

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling gave a wry smile: "The biggest problem we are facing now is that the people concealed the situation. Those who were admitted to... the medical department were all rumored by the people that they were burned alive by the lord's mansion. gone."

"Besides, there is a saying among the common people that... we gathered in the mountains to rebel, and the heavens specially sent down plagues to punish Wanmin City..."

Having said that, Fang Xuanling let out a long sigh.

The common people are ignorant. When they hear about the epidemic, it is like a change in the sky. They have no basic judgment.

Xu Mu also sighed lightly.

The biggest problem for the people of this era is that they have not enlightened their wisdom.

It was all caused by the ignorant policies of the Qin, Han, Wei, and Jin dynasties.

As for the people of Wanmin City, there is still a long way to go before they can open up their wisdom and think independently.

Xu Mu pondered for a while, and said to Fang Xuanling: "Since the common people have concealed the information, they will search for it by force. With the cooperation of [-] small officials and the army in the city, they will investigate one by one according to the information on the ID card!"

As a last resort, the people are ignorant, so he can only take coercive measures.

At this time, the importance of the identity card was once again reflected.

When recruiting every commoner into the city, Xu Mu fabricated ID cards for them individually.

In the present Wanmin City, there are no black households. With their ID cards, those who pass the test are marked as healthy, and those who fail the test will be forcibly taken to the hospital for isolation and treatment.

Xu Mu gave an order, and four hundred officials, plus the personal guards led by Wang Zhao, started to act.

Conduct a large-scale investigation of 10 people.

……

outside the city.

This time, no monitoring points were set up for the test, and the small officials and the army joined forces to picket those sick people who concealed the report.

Liang Ziqiu cooperated with Wang Zhao.

Wearing masks, Liang Ziqiu and others took a pile of registered identity information and checked them one by one.

"Zhao Lu, is anyone here?"

"Qin Hong, is anyone here?"

"Zhang Leli, is anyone here?"

……

Every time a name was read, a test was carried out, and only in the area Liang Ziqiu was in charge of, there were dozens of people...not even anyone could be found.

Wang Zhao's face darkened, and he said to the soldiers beside him, "Search from house to house for me!"

Liang Ziqiu hurriedly stopped and said: "Wait a minute, General Wang, give me a little time, let me persuade these people."

He was born in a poor family, and he felt empathy for what happened to these people, and planned to give them another chance.

He stepped forward slowly, and said in a deep voice to the gathered people: "Everyone, I am Liang Ziqiu from the lord's mansion. The epidemic has ravaged Wanmin City. Thanks to the wise strategy formulated by the lord, the epidemic has just been controlled. ...The epidemic has not disappeared, and any hidden dangers must be eliminated to prevent the epidemic from resurging, please also..."

He persuaded him earnestly, but before he finished speaking, one of the people interrupted him with a sneer: "Bah!"

"You dog officials! You say it's treatment, don't you want to drag the sick people into the city and burn them to death?"

"Liang Ziqiu! The old man misjudged you earlier, I didn't expect you to be with those dog officials in the lord's mansion!"

"You guys better go, there is no one you are looking for here!"

……

The gathered people talked to each other, everyone stared at Liang Ziqiu coldly, and even...had hatred in their eyes.

Liang Ziqiu was bitter in his heart, seeing Wang Zhao's face was cold, he was about to search forcibly, and stopped him again.

"General Wang, give me another chance."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down directly towards these common people: "The gentleman worships, the master of heaven and earth, master and teacher, today I am Liang Ziqiu, and I am here to bow down to you all. Please trust me Liang Ziqiu once, and trust the Lord's Mansion once!"

"Everyone, think about the benevolent policies that the Lord's Mansion has implemented since entering Wanmin City, such as borrowing seeds, abolishing agricultural taxes, encouraging commerce and trade, and benefiting the common people... Honeycomb briquettes, quilts, heaters... Could it be that all these measures have harmed you? ?”

"You say that this epidemic is a change in the sky, a disaster from heaven, to punish Wanmincheng, but the lord once said that the change of the sky is not to be feared, and man will surely overcome the sky! My lord has now invited thousands of doctors, A cure for typhoid fever has been developed, as long as it is sent to the medical office, the possibility of recovery is very high!"

"I, Liang Ziqiu, would like to guarantee my life. The doctors in the medical office are doing their best to save people. There will never be any burning to death as you mentioned!"

……

As Liang Ziqiu spoke, he wept loudly, speaking hoarsely.

Some of the common people, who were greatly favored by the Lord's Mansion, were also moved by what he said, and bowed their heads in shame.

Gradually……

One, two, three... One by one, the common people stood up and told the people who they concealed.

Most of them are suspected patients with fever.

Liang Ziqiu and other small officials quickly counted the number of people and greeted them warmly, but in the end, they found that there were still seven people missing.

Wang Zhao's expression sank again.

These people were more stubborn than he imagined, so he couldn't help but look at Liang Ziqiu.

To be honest, after just a short contact, he has a little admiration for Liang Ziqiu.

This kind of person who thinks about the common people is simply rare in the world.

No wonder both the lord and the director of the room value him so much.

Liang Ziqiu held the seven lists in his hand, struggled for a while, then sighed, and said to Wang Zhao, "Please ask General Wang to search."

He has studied hard for more than ten years in the cold window, and he is well aware of the horror of the epidemic. As long as one person is missed, it is very likely that it will resurface.

No matter how pity the people are, he also knows that some stubborn people cannot be influenced.

The army poured into every house and began to search according to their ID cards. Soon, seven people who were bedridden were picked out, and they were taken away without any explanation.

"Let's go, General Wang, let's go to the next place."

Liang Ziqiu coughed lightly a few times. The intensive investigation these days made his complexion a little pale.

Wang Zhao frowned and said, "Do you want to take a rest?"

Liang Ziqiu shook his head and said with a slight smile: "The people are poor and sick, and have suffered for so long. The sooner we eliminate hidden dangers, the safer the people will be."

Afterwards, together with Wang Zhao, he continued to carry out carpet-like investigations in various areas outside Wanmin City.

……

Lord's Mansion.

In the past three days and nights, with the cooperation of the small officials and the army in the city, more than [-] sick people were directly searched out!
All were sent to the hospital.

All the ID cards registered in the Lord's Mansion are marked with whether they are healthy or not.

"My lord, the ID card... really has infinite uses!" Fang Xuanling sighed again.

If there is no ID card system, it would be as difficult to control this epidemic as it is to reach the sky!

Xu Mu showed a smile, what he saw was another data.

Liang Ziqiu.

This person caught his attention again.

Xu Mu said solemnly: "There are 10 people in Wanmin City, and the small officials under his leadership have screened 2 people. After the epidemic is over, give him a suitable position, and he can already be in charge."

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling nodded again and again, and then smiled wryly: "Liang Ziqiu is quite capable and capable of accomplishing great things, but he has been too tired these few days, and after the investigation, he collapsed from exhaustion, my subordinate... give him A few days of leave were granted and he was allowed to rest at home."

Xu Mu heard something unusual from it.

I couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Are you sure you're tired? Not for other reasons?"

What he was worried about was that the petty officials in Wanmin City were also infected with the disease.

Because they deal with the people every day and measure them, they are the most likely to contract the disease except the staff of the medical department.
