Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

Under the leadership of Shen Yufeng, Tang Jinghong came to the place where the grain and grass were robbed.

This is also a forest, the forest has been completely destroyed, the hot sun shines down directly, shining on the bare ground and bare tree trunks, showing the hopeless bleakness with brightness.

Shen Yufeng blamed himself, "General, the ground is dry and hard, and there are no traces of rollers,"

Tang Jinghong looked around, "Tell me about the robbery at that time."

Shen Yufeng frowned and said, "At that time, some refugees robbed us. After the robbery, the rest of the refugees came to block us and bought time for the other party to transport the food and grass. We watched as the food and grass were robbed..."

Such a cohesive and planned robbery was definitely not done by refugees. Tang Jinghong raised his eyes and looked around, "Which direction are they going?"

Shen Yufeng pointed to the north, "Running in the direction of the capital."

Tang Jinghong looked over and narrowed his eyes. After a while, he asked, "Did you meet a large number of refugees when you came here?"

Shen Yufeng shook his head, "No, we came all the way smoothly, until we encountered robbery, and the 10,000 refugees were the largest we encountered."

Tang Jinghong lowered his eyes, "There are only more than 30,000 people outside the city of Xu, and when you meet 10,000, it's only 40,000, which means that at least 60,000 refugees have disappeared."

Shen Yufeng's heartstrings tightened, "What do you mean, General?"

Tang Jinghong's brows were full of solemnity, "The King of Northern Xinjiang intervened in this matter, and I suspect that he is brewing a conspiracy against the emperor."

Hearing this, Shen Yufeng's heart was heavy, "General, what should we do?"

Tang Jinghong said, "You take people to track the grain and grass in the direction of the capital. I'll take care of this place and meet you in the past."

"Yes, General."

Shen Yufeng took the soldiers and left without stopping.

Tang Jinghong stared at the north for a while, then got on his horse and returned to the camp.

...

The officials in Xucheng saw that the refugees outside the city were under control, so they opened the city gate and came out to meet Tang Jinghong.

Fu Yin wore a purple official robe loosely on his body, which showed that he had lost a lot of weight, and his face was also haggard. He said happily, "General Tang, you have rushed here. If you don't come, the supplies in the city will be cut off."

Tang Jinghong didn't blame the governor for closing the city gates. If the refugees were allowed to enter the city and they couldn't be properly resettled, they would burn, kill and loot. When the time came, there would be chaos in the city and things would get worse.

Powerful people are truly influential. With a population of 800,000 or 900,000 in Xucheng, it is by no means a trivial matter.

Tang Jinghong asked solemnly, "How is the situation in the city?"

Fu Yin sighed, "The drought not only affects the people in the village, but also the city. Every household is short of water. Fortunately, some old wells still have water, otherwise life would be difficult."

Tang Jinghong asked, "If things go on like this, how long do you expect the city to be in chaos?"

The governor replied respectfully, "There won't be chaos in a short period of time. We still have some food in stock, but after a month, there will be chaos in the city."

Tang Jinghong thought to himself, there is still time, "Go back and stabilize the situation in the city first, and you must not let the people in the city mess up."

Fu Yin replied, "Yes, General Tang."

Fu Yin returned to the city with a group of officials, deployed according to Tang Jinghong's instructions, and did not dare to neglect at all, otherwise the people would be in chaos, and he would not lose his official hat.

A soldier hurried over, "Miss Chu, someone fainted over there."

Chu Qingzhi's expression froze, "Go and have a look."

Tang Jinghong and others followed behind her and rushed over together.

A woman hugged a man and cried loudly, "Father, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

The child next to him was also crying, "Dad, dad..."

Many refugees around watched, and the family of four formed a circle.

Chu Qingzhi pushed aside the crowd and walked in. When she checked her pulse, what she was most worried about happened, "Everyone back off, don't come close."

Seeing Chu Qingzhi's serious expression, all the refugees retreated immediately.

At this moment, another person fainted nearby.

"Mother, mother, what's the matter with you?" A teenager shouted anxiously, tears streaming down his face.

At this time, everyone realized that something was wrong, and they quickly backed away without Chu Qingzhi's greeting, with suspicion and fear in their eyes.

Chu Qingzhi hurriedly walked towards the young man. After feeling his pulse, her expression became more serious. She turned her head and nodded to Tang Jinghong.

You can't talk about the epidemic, otherwise the refugees who have just settled down will immediately riot.

Tang Jinghong's heart sank, and he ordered, "Transfer all the sick people under that huge banyan tree, and concentrate on rescue."

The soldier replied, "Yes."

Some refugees dared to ask, "General, what happened to them?"

Chu Qingzhi replied for Tang Jinghong, "You have been short of water for a long time, and you suddenly drink a lot of water and feel uncomfortable. Don't worry, just rest for a while and you will be fine."

With this, everyone is at ease.

In the following period of time, illnesses broke out in the crowd from time to time, and one by one fell down. However, many people believed in Chu Qingzhi's words. After all, she was the girl who found the water vein and saved everyone. If they didn't believe her, who would they trust?

"Qingzhi, what's the disease?" Tang Jinghong felt that things were getting more and more difficult. Originally, the refugees' emotions had stabilized and they could be sent back to their original villages in batches. Now...

Chu Qingzhi said in a calm voice, "Malaria is an infectious disease caused by malaria parasites infected through mosquito bites, and can be transmitted through mosquito bites."

Tang Jinghong clenched his fist and slammed it on the nearby tree, "Contagion..."

The most feared thing in this era is infection. Once there is such a plague, the people will die in large numbers.

Now, if the King of Northern Xinjiang spreads the "Punishment of God", the whole Daling will be plunged into turmoil, the neighboring countries will be eyeing it, and the border that has just stabilized will surely rekindle the flames of war, and the people will only be more miserable.

Chu Qingzhi reached out to hold Tang Jinghong's hand, "Jinghong, this plague is not terrible, as long as we find Artemisia annua, we can cure this disease."

Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi as if he was looking at a ray of light, "I'll immediately arrange for people to look for Artemisia annua."

Chu Qingzhi said, "I'll go get you the blueprint."

Tang Jinghong was surprised for a while, "Qingzhi, did you expect that?"

Chu Qingzhi smiled at Tang Jinghong, "There are only those kinds of large-scale epidemics, and I am prepared for them."

Tang Jinghong pulled Chu Qingzhi into a hug, and was deeply moved, "Qingzhi, I thank you for the common people and Daling as a whole."

Chu Qingzhi stared at Tang Jinghong's handsome eyebrows, raised the corners of her lips, "I just want to help you."

Tang Jinghong's heart trembled slightly, and his feelings for Chu Qingzhi deepened, "Qingzhi, when the matter is over, I will ask for credit for you."

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Tang Jinghong distributed the blueprint that Chu Qingzhi had given him to the soldiers, and asked them to go to the surrounding cities immediately to look for Artemisia annua. At the same time, the capital also sent a letter back, asking everyone to help find it.
