Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

But it's not right, do you have any hard work in Youzhou City that you need to do?I didn't see the people in the city busy with anything. "

"You came late, the first two days were to let the common people go to the nearby mountains to gather herbs, and all kinds of simple and common herbs were purchased by the government.

Later, when the medicinal materials were not used up, I asked them to repair the city wall and move the stones.

The next step is the main event, hehe, in three to five days it will be time for Xia Mang to harvest the wheat, and the [-] laborers will be the new force for the harvest in Youzhou. "

Wei Zheng nodded when he heard it, but then he pointed out the key point, "That's true, but these 10 people eat horse chews every day, and the food consumed is not a small amount. It's good to help you harvest summer food. But I'm afraid they will eat up [-] to [-] percent of the summer grain you produce this year."

Er, Liu Hongji was choked up, yes, I only counted income, not expenses, these 10 people worked hard, but I didn't hesitate to spend money on food for disaster relief.

For a while, the general was depressed, "If I knew it earlier, I would urge Miracle Doctor Du to cure these people and send them away. They stay here to help the people of Youzhou to eat food. That will definitely give the local people a lot of trouble in the future." The rations have an impact.

Fortunately, Doctor Du said that until the source of the plague in the north is found and eliminated, this group of people cannot go back for the time being, so as not to get sick again. "

Wei Zheng patted Liu Hongji on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry about it, old Liu, think about it, if it wasn't for work, wouldn't you have to provide food to support these victims?

Don't worry, His Majesty will definitely reduce or exempt Hebei Province's taxes this time, so you have nothing to lose. "

Chapter 152 The source of the plague

Inside the palace, the emperor Li Er was eating with his family in the Lizheng Hall. Ever since the cook Dahu was detained by the queen, the emperor's food has been provided by Dahu, because the cook's cooking is delicious and there are many dishes. It makes people never get tired of eating.

There are two cuties around Emperor Li Er's small dining table. Xiao Xuanxuan and Xiao Si are used to eating together. Xuanxuan eats the delicious food from Li Er and asks questions: "Grandpa , when will daddy come back? Grandma said you let daddy go out, and Xuanxuan hasn't seen daddy for a long, long time."

Li Er replied with a smile: "There are many patients outside, he will come back naturally after seeing the illness, don't worry."

When the little girl heard it, it was wrong, "But how can the patients outside see it? When I was in Luoxia Town, there were people who got sick every day. It seemed that Dad could never finish seeing the disease.

Is it true that Daddy will never come back again?Wow, mother, let's go find daddy. "

The little girl threw down her little wooden spoon, burst into tears, turned around and threw herself into the princess' arms.

Li Er looked up at the queen in embarrassment, wondering if I said something wrong?

At this moment, the little si who was having dinner together stopped in a low voice, and asked in a low voice, "Father, did you give her daddy to you?"

hmm, too?Li Er looked at his daughter in surprise, what's going on?This child even made a gesture of wiping his neck?She's only four years old, okay?

"Si, who did you learn this from?" Li Er asked.

"Father, I went to play with Father once, and saw you treat someone like this, and then I never saw that person again."

Pfft, the queen burst out laughing from the sidelines, Li Er dropped his chopsticks, frowned and reprimanded: "Be careful with the child in the future, don't let him run around, let's see what he has learned?"

The princess comforted her daughter and asked the emperor: "Father, how is the epidemic in Hebei Province? Is he okay?"

"How can something happen? That kid seems to be a genius doctor by nature. He can even catch the plague. Not only that, but he also came up with a good way to solve the disaster relief problem. The original plan would take at least three months for disaster relief. Now it seems that if you don't need two months It can be over.

It is estimated that he is already thinking about how to ask me for a reward when he comes back. "

But Li Er probably wouldn't have imagined that the plague this time was not simple, and it wasn't just a matter of curing the disease.

Under the city of Youzhou, Liu Hongji was mobilizing the victims for harvesting, but what he didn't expect was that these victims, uncharacteristically, wanted to go back to their hometown to collect grain. No one wanted to stay here to help Youzhou rule.

Liu Hongji was dumbfounded, and turned his head to look at Wei Zheng beside him: "Old Wei, you have a lot of ideas, and these victims must not go back. The source of the plague has not been investigated and eliminated by Dr. Du, and they are not sick at all. So agile, wouldn’t it make things worse if we went back again?”

Wei Zheng pondered for a moment, then came up with a good idea, "Wheat is grown in Hebei, but the wheat matures from south to north. The state does not work.

Immediately put up a list to comfort the people, and told them that starting from Youzhou, they would rush to harvest all the way from south to north, harvesting grain and curing diseases, and when the wheat in Youzhou was finished, they would naturally catch up and go back to harvest the wheat in their hometown.

In addition, only healthy people can participate in the harvesting of grain, and the sick are strictly prohibited from participating. "

"Hey, it's a good idea, don't worry, those who get sick are the masters who need to be taken care of, and no one is rushing to work." Liu Hongji said with a smile.

However, something happened on the second day of harvesting grain around Youzhou City. The northern Yingzhou urgently reported that because of the plague, the northern Yingzhou and Pingzhou were empty. Now half of Pingzhou has been lost, and the enemy is coming very fiercely.

"How did this happen? Aren't the Goguryeo barbarians afraid of the plague? If the plague is brought over, I'm afraid we don't need to send troops, and their [-] army will be wiped out." Liu Hongji exclaimed.

The deputy general said: "General, it's not good. His Highness the Third Highness and Doctor Du are investigating the source of the plague in Yingzhou. Now that Yingzhou has fallen, His Highness and Doctor Du may be in danger."

Liu Hongji slapped his thigh, "Come here, beat the drums and gather the generals. The [-] defenders of Youzhou City must snatch His Highness and others back."

Wei Zheng stretched out his hand to grab it, "Old Liu, no, you can't act rashly on this matter. You can't move 2 people, and there are [-] victims outside the city. If no one takes care of these victims, it will be over if they mess up."

"But if His Highness doesn't save him, how can he explain to His Majesty?"

"Let me think about it, think about it.

By the way, quickly send a message to General Yuchi Jingde in the south, asking him to bring in troops to help, the enemy is coming, and His Highness is protected by the Xuanjia Army, so it should be fine.

We should be optimistic about Youzhou, and not let the enemy come over and spoil the big event of summer grain harvesting. "Wei Zheng said calmly.

But after saying this, Old Wei was stunned, the mystery that lingered in his mind these days seemed to be clear, Xia Liang?Goguryeo?Why did the plague come suddenly without warning?

Now that Goguryeo appeared, Wei Zheng thought of it, slapped his thigh and cursed angrily: "What a despicable barbarian.

The plague must have been released by them. Finding the right time to release the plague will not only poison Datang, but also drive our people to flee south, so that no one will harvest the summer grain in the north. At this time, they are not here to occupy the territory. They came to grab our food. "

"Old Wei, are you sure? Then they are not afraid of the plague?"

"It's the plague they released. They must have a way to deal with it in advance. Divine doctor Du can easily treat it. Presumably there are capable people in Goguryeo. Even if they grab the food and go back to treat the disease, it will be cost-effective.

Goguryeo is a small country, if they can get food from Hebei Province, it will definitely be enough for them to eat for the first half of the year.

No, we must mobilize the troops from Hedong Road and Henan Road to help, and we must not let the other party succeed. "

Just as Wei Zheng calculated, Du Shaoqing and others also found clues at the junction of Yingzhou and Pingzhou. This should be the source of the plague, and it can be confirmed that someone deliberately released the source of infection.

On the second day after they found out, a big battle broke out on the border between Datang and Goguryeo. Yingzhou was taken by the [-] Goguryeo army unexpectedly. Du Shaoqing and others were also trapped in a small village on the south coast of Yingzhou. outcrop.

"How? Did you find out? Are the Koguryo soldiers afraid of the plague rampant in Yingzhou?" The third prince Li Ke anxiously asked Du Shaoqing and Li Junxian who had returned from the investigation.

Du Shaoqing's face was ugly, and he said bitterly: "They have planned it long ago. Not only are the soldiers well-trained, but also there are people in the camp who are constantly steaming medicinal herbs and incense to disinfect and prevent the plague. Now it seems that this plague has a high probability It was put on purpose by the Goguryeo people, just to take advantage of the vacancy and attack my Datang."

"But they only have 5 troops. Even if they capture the Hebei Road, they will still be unable to stop the revenge of our Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke said to himself in bewilderment.

Li Junxian next to him explained: "Your Highness, when did these barbarians dare to covet our land? They must have come to plunder the autumn wind."

"The people are all fleeing, ten families and nine empty houses, what did they plunder?" Before finishing speaking, Li Ke and Li Junxian looked at each other, and said at the same time: "Xia Liang?"

Chapter 153

After listening to Li Junxian's explanation, Du Shaoqing said angrily: "What a vicious method, they will do anything to grab food, dare to use the plague to harm my Tang people? General Li, is there a way for us to go to Goguryeo secretly?" In the territory, give them an eye for an eye?

I can also give them an incurable plague, and one trick will make Goguryeo die. "

Du Shaoqing's words almost made Li Ke and Li Junxian sit on the ground in fright. Is this still the kind-hearted genius doctor?Not to mention that he is full of murderous aura, even if these words are taken out, he is probably a peerless murderer.
