After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of the downcast son

Chapter 117 That long-lasting fire

"Oh, I was thinking about how to break my father's situation." Zhou Sining raised his head and glanced at He Beiting, then smiled with his eyes bent: "Why are you here free? Asking for money?"

He Beiting glanced at the maid who was snickering and exiting the room, and there was a moment of embarrassment on his face.

Then he raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand, "Purse."

puff!

Zhou Sining smiled and patted He Beiting's hand, "You said you were asking for a purse, but you are really asking for it. The purse on your waist has obviously been replaced not long ago, and it is still brand new. What are you asking for?"

He Beiting said: "Keep it."

Zhou Sining:......

I've heard of people saving money, and saving unique antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but this is the first time I've heard of people saving their wallets. Her future husband really... doesn't take the usual path.

Enough chatting, let’s get back to the topic.

He Beiting directly turned the topic to Lord Zhou's disaster relief.

"Don't worry about the disaster relief. I've put people next to Mr. Zhou to keep an eye on Huang Houde. As long as he doesn't act rashly, if he dares to make any move, then he will be dead."

After hearing what He Beiting said, Zhou Sining blinked and said, "Secret guards? How many private guards do you have?"

He Beiting glanced at Zhou Sining and couldn't help but raised his hand and tapped her forehead, "Where's the brain? Can the secret guard follow Mr. Zhou on errands?"

Zhou Sining wanted to say that in front of him, she didn't need to think at all.

He Beiting added: "In addition, everyone under the Imperial Envoy's guard can be trusted."

Zhou Sining rolled his eyes and smiled. What else didn't he understand? When his father went to the martial arts selection department to select people, those who could appear in front of him for selection were all screened by He Beiting in advance.

But what she was afraid of was never the safety on the surface, but the undercurrents in private. She was afraid that her father would be plotted against others, and she was also afraid that her father would be fooled by traitors because he was too straightforward.

He Beiting seemed to understand what Zhou Sining was thinking, and said:

"Lin Qingyuan is one of the new officials who have been trained with him. The official from the Ministry of Household Affairs who is also in charge of money and food is a direct subordinate of your second uncle."

Knowing your concerns, how could I not do my best?

In fact, what He Beiting didn't say was that in addition to these people on the surface, he also arranged for a group of people to follow him in the food transport team, just in case.

With this double guarantee of light and darkness, this disaster relief trip should be foolproof.

Such a painstaking arrangement is not only to protect the safety of the Zhou family and relieve the worries of the young daughter-in-law, but also for the sake of the people of Yicheng who are suffering from floods.

There are disputes in the court, and the people have nothing to lose.

The disaster relief team was still on the way, and another horse riding a horse came straight to the capital with an urgent message.

"Urgent report from Yicheng, urgent report from Yicheng..."

An hour later, Emperor Zhou's master was ordered to enter the palace.

"Epidemic?" Master Zhou frowned as he looked at the report that had been sent thousands of miles away.

The emperor said: "I remember that there was an epidemic in the old capital five years ago in Ding'an. How was it controlled at that time? But was it eradicated with good medicine?"

Master Zhou shook the man who was reporting the report.

How to control it?

Good medicine? Where can I find any good medicine that can be used?

That's eradication at the expense of human lives.

That epidemic was so tragic.

More than thirty years have passed since the incident, but it is still hard to breathe every time I think about it. This is also the reason why the late emperor insisted on moving to Xuancheng.

The first outbreak of the epidemic was in the Nancheng District of the old capital. In order to curb the spread of the epidemic, the late emperor immediately ordered Nancheng to be locked down and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

At the same time, imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital and private doctors were recruited to Nancheng District for treatment. However, despite all their efforts, they were still unable to develop a medicine that could cure the epidemic. They could only reluctantly prepare a medicine that could temporarily suppress the disease.

More and more people are getting sick, and more and more people are dying. In just a few days, it has become out of control.

The late emperor ordered all doctors to withdraw from Nancheng District, build walls and seal roads, completely sealing off Nancheng District, sealing in all those who were infected and those who were not yet infected.

For a moment, people were in panic, and they tried their best to run out, out of Nancheng District, and escape.

Easier said than done.

Occasionally, one person escaped by chance, but was caught and thrown back by the soldiers guarding outside.

In the end, everyone was sealed alive in Nancheng District, and Nancheng was completely burned by a fire.

That fire burned for more than half a month.

During that time, even though we were several city blocks away, we could still see the thick smoke billowing in Nancheng District, and we could smell the pungent smell of people being burned to ashes.

Thousands of people... infected and not infected, were struggling in the sea of ​​​​fire waiting to die.

But it was not over yet. One of the evacuated doctors contracted the epidemic. He did not feel it at first, but when he did feel it, it was already too late. His family members and people around his residence had already become infected one after another.

Then one person spreads the word to ten, and ten spreads the word to a hundred, and there are more and more people...

And these people, without exception, were all thrown into the fire in Nancheng District.

The last people who were thrown into the fire were the soldiers who were searching the streets and arresting people because they had close contact with people infected with the epidemic...

In that epidemic, there were more than 10,000 infected patients, innocent people, and poor soldiers...

Just gone! They all died in the fire in Nancheng.

heavy!

This past incident brought nothing but heaviness and misery to Master Zhou!

"Your Majesty was still young at that time. Even if you have no way of knowing the details, you should still remember the unprecedented fire in Nancheng..."

"There was no cure for the epidemic that could be eradicated. It was just one person contracting the disease and the whole family died."

"In the Nancheng fire that year, there were infected patients, including innocent people and poor soldiers...

More than 10,000 people have been filled in!"

The emperor's face was extremely ugly. No wonder he rummaged through the books in the palace and found only a few sentences in one stroke.

That's it, that's it...

"Teacher, what should we do in Yicheng? There are more than ten thousand people there now..."

Yes, what to do!

"Your Majesty, I believe that the first thing to do is to seek medical advice and recruit all the best doctors in the world to fight the national crisis."

"Furthermore, when there was an epidemic in Nancheng, all the four major medical families in Xuan Kingdom sent doctors to participate, including many young doctors. Now more than thirty years have passed, and I think they have made a difference in suppressing the epidemic."

Four major medical families...

The emperor was a little embarrassed, as he didn't even know about it.

With just one glance, Imperial Master Zhou understood the emperor's embarrassment.

He said, "They are said to be a medical family, but they are actually ordinary merchants. They are just outstanding in the business of medicinal materials, and their descendants have practiced medicine and helped the world from generation to generation. As time passes from generation to generation, it has become what the world calls the aristocratic family.

"

Oh, this statement is novel.

But it makes a lot of sense, isn’t it just the accumulation of experience from generation to generation to build a noble family?

But, "Do I need to issue recruitment orders to those four major medical families?"
