At present, Li Mi is appointed as the Prime Minister of Qi, Liu Yan is appointed as the Changshi, Chen Huan is appointed as the Sima, Duan Xiushi is appointed as the Privy Envoy, and Cui Guangyuan is appointed as the Capital Magistrate.

Together with Qiu Xuan, the supervisory envoy, and Wang Wei, the director of the Ministry of Personnel, these seven people are currently the highest-ranking third-rank officials in the Qi Palace.

Of course, Li Mi and Liu Yan are still Li Ye's left and right military advisers, and their status is higher.

Chen Huan and Duan Xiushi went to Bashu mainly to help Helong Jiedu Mansion control Jiannan Road and Shannan West Road and establish systems.

At present, the governor of Jiannan has been replaced by Li Baozhen, who is in charge of the 30,000 Jiannan army. The Shannan West Road pacification envoy has also been cancelled, and has been changed to two Shannan West Road and Jiannan Road supervisory envoys, itinerant punishment envoys and transfer envoys.

Prime Minister Li Mi of the King of Qi, Chen Huan, the Chief Secretary, Liu Yan, the Privy Councilor Duan Xiushi, and Cui Guangyuan, the Commander-in-Chief, rushed to Nanxun Hall, where the Pavilion of the King of Qi is located.

Qiwang Pavilion is the name of an official government office. Currently, the official rooms of the King of Qi and the official rooms of the Prime Minister of Qi are located here.

The order of the King of Qi was not issued by King Qi Li Ye, but the King of Qi was responsible for drafting it. After Li Ye approved it, it was promulgated. Of course, it was also a reflection of King Qi's intention.

If Li Ye is not in Chang'an, then Princess Qi will act as the King of Qi. She will only approve, veto or wait for discussion.

In the meeting hall, Li Ye said to everyone: "The bursting of the Huaihe River caused the plague to appear. What is even more despicable is that Li Xilie used the plague as a weapon to spread the plague among the Tang army and the people of Yingzhou. The current situation is very serious, and the imperial court is short of medicinal materials and food. , begging us for assistance, of course we want assistance in principle, let’s see if you have any good ideas?”

Liu Yan said slowly: "Your Highness, I suggest that we use batches of assistance. This can buy time and the first batch of food, medicinal materials and materials can be sent out tonight."

Li Mi also smiled and said: "Actually, we are well prepared to prevent the plague. We have fine linen masks, deerskin gloves, honeysuckle, isatis root, Bupleurum, ephedra and other medicines, as well as a large amount of lime. We can use our inventory to support the court. , we will prepare inventory. Although it will consume some supplies, it will be very helpful to increase the reputation of His Highness.

Duan Xiushi also smiled and said: "Your Highness, you can pay attention to some details. If the ships we support use the same color or use the same flag, will the publicity effect be better?"

"It makes sense! Since we have contributed, we must get a name, otherwise we will be taken advantage of."

Li Ye smiled and said: "We can give as much medicinal materials and supplies as possible, but the amount of food is better. Let's discuss it."

Chen Huandao: "Beizhi happened to inspect the granary yesterday and found that we have a batch of old grain, which is about four or five years old. It does not affect consumption, but the taste will be worse. It is about 300,000 dan. I suggested that we donate this batch of old grain. To the court.”

Li Ye nodded, "Three hundred thousand stones is okay, what do you think?"

Everyone agreed, and Li Ye immediately said: "Then three hundred thousand stones will be sent to the court in three batches!"

Everyone immediately decided, and Wang Wei, the chief official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was sent to Luoyang as the special envoy of the King of Qi to follow the second batch of aid supplies.

That evening, the first batch of emergency aid supplies, including food, medicinal materials, medicines, masks, leather gloves, etc., were transported to Luoyang by fifty large cargo ships.

Xingqing Palace has been renamed Qi Palace, and all official offices have been opened, but there is still a large amount of land in the living area that has not been opened. Currently, Li Ye's family lives in Jinhualuo, a building that was renovated by the former prince Li Yu. The group covers an area of ​​200 acres, with the main entrance opening to the north, facing Yongjiafang.

Jinhualuo is divided into two parts, the functional area and the living area. The functional area includes kitchens, warehouses, stables, palace rooms, etc. It does not have the grand and spacious buildings in the palace, and is composed of various small courtyards, although it is not grand enough. , but it is very suitable for home life. Li Ye also took a fancy to this and arranged his new home here.

In addition, Jinhualuo is relatively close to the Agarwood Pavilion. Prince Li Yu built an aerial corridor bridge to connect it to the Agarwood Pavilion. Li Ye and his family can also go to the Agarwood Pavilion for a visit. There is also a pier where you can take a painted boat to enter the Longchi.

Having been in Chang'an for more than half a month, Li Ye's family has gradually settled down and adapted to the life here. They have recruited more than a hundred servants, including cooks, coachmen, maids, rough messengers, maids, etc.

Of course, there are dozens of old palace maids. The old palace maids mainly serve as cleaners, gardeners, boat ladies, etc., and carefully maintain the Qi Palace.

In the afternoon, Li Ye returned to Jinhualuo's mansion, only to find Li Tengkong waiting for him in the living room outside.

"Why are aunties here?" Li Ye walked into the living room and asked with a smile.

"What do you think?"

Li Ye thought, "Is it because of the epidemic?"

Li Tengkong nodded, "I'm going to rescue refugees and treat plague patients. The court is in charge here in the Central Plains, but the people in Jianghuai are pitiful. No one cares about their life or death."

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "Agu, let's go to Huainan! The people of Jianghuai will naturally look for a place to survive, and will not stay in Haozhou and wait to die."

"I'll go take a look, Ah Ye. I can mobilize many Taoist priests to participate in disaster relief, but I need your support."

Li Ye took out a gold medal from his arms and handed it to Li Tengkong, "There are Longyou Trading Houses in Runzhou and Suzhou. They are official trading houses and are responsible for purchasing grain and other materials. With this gold medal, Agu can withdraw money worth ten dollars." Thousands of grains or other supplies.”

Li Tengkong immediately beamed and quickly took the gold medal, "Thank you for your compassionate heart!"

Li Ye asked again: "How much does Agu know about this plague?"

Li Tengkong nodded: "The epidemic in Tianbao's twelfth year broke out in Bozhou and Xuzhou, and was also caused by floods in the summer. It was actually typhoid fever. The disease entered through the mouth, causing vomiting and diarrhea.

I guess it will be the same this time, as the epidemic in Tianbao’s twelfth year has revived, so masks and disinfection are very important. For example, we must wear masks and gloves, boil water, wash hands frequently, and drink medicinal soup every day. Patients must be isolated. If these are the main things done, the disease can be prevented and cured. "

"Is it effective to use honeysuckle and isatis root?"

"It has some effect. I mainly make soup with Bupleurum, Ephedra, Guizhi and Licorice. Drinking more ginger soup is also good."

Li Ye said happily: "A large number of these drugs are among the drugs we support. I heard that the chief official of the imperial court in charge of epidemic prevention is my father. Auntie can ask him for help!"

Li Tengkong was overjoyed that the chief official of the imperial court for epidemic prevention was actually his brother, "That's easy to handle. I'll go find him first and ask him to treat him according to my prescription. It will definitely be effective."

Li Tengkong said goodbye and left. Li Ye returned to the back house and took a donkey cart to his study.

His current residence is much larger, with the back house alone covering 150 acres. It is divided into three building complexes, one main building complex and two side building complexes. There are hundreds of pavilions and pavilions in the main building complex, and the courtyard There are also more than twenty, with various small gardens, ponds, and rockeries scattered inside. The winding paths lead to secluded areas, and the layout is complex. Li Ye and his family are still easily lost.

Therefore, there are several special donkey carts, which are driven by several old palace maids. You will not get lost when riding in a donkey cart. This is a method created by the former Crown Princess Shen Zhenzhu, and even the five donkey carts were left behind by her.
