Laiwu and Gaixian have now become hells on earth, and everything is desolate. Under Qin Ge's conscription, all the people suffering from the plague were moved to Gaixian and Laiwu counties. In the county, there were wailing sounds everywhere, and many people The skin was ulcerated and he was lying on the ground crying in pain. In the moat around the city, the water has been drained. The masked soldiers inside are constantly throwing in dry firewood, and the fire is raging. Because the plague virus is most afraid of flames, flames are used around the city to resist the spread of the plague.
Qin Ge and Qin Jiwu were standing outside the city. They were worried about the supplies and food of all the residents in the two places. All infected materials and even houses were burned down. There were more than three million people and evolvers in these two counties. Naturally, they had to freely receive relief for their food and drink. Qin Ge had to transport a large amount of food from the Free Territory every day to relieve these patients, which undoubtedly made it worse for the Free Territory, which had long been short of food.
Qin Ge was wearing a gas mask, which was soaked in special potion and worn on the mouth and nose to prevent infection from the plague. Not far away, batches of injured patients were transferred out of the city, all of them old, weak, sick and disabled. As well as women and children, they entered the large tent for medical treatment under the orderly command of the Free Army. Chunyu Wan'er has prepared medicine to control the plague. There are three things that must be done to control the plague. One is a clean environment. Generally, the spread of the plague means that the sources of transmission cannot be purified. The infected people's clothing, food, housing and transportation are all exposed to the virus, and they are constantly infected, resulting in His condition could not improve, and he eventually collapsed and died. The second is to have sufficient water and food. Plague patients are weak all over, have persistent high fevers, and sores in the body are inflammation in modern terms. In fact, the body's own resistance can resist the plague to a large extent, but those who are sick are unable to move. , there is not enough food and especially a large amount of clean water sources. Now the water sources in the two counties are almost completely polluted, and all the water used is brought by free haulers. The third point is medication and adequate rest. The current situation in the two counties cannot meet the first two conditions at all, and the third one, with so many injuries and requiring massive amounts of medicinal herbs, is simply not something that the Free Territory can afford. Some people ask why these people are not moved to Mou County. Firstly, the straight-line distance between the two counties takes five or six days. Secondly, the group is huge. Thirdly, plague patients will contaminate water sources and land, allowing the plague to spread on a large scale. These are the three points. It is simply impossible to transfer them to Mou County.
At this time, there was a sudden noise, and a large number of plague patients rushed to the city gate, shouting: "Why don't you treat us? Brothers will die anyway, so if you die, you will have nothing to lose!" It was instigated by some evolutionists. The people rioted and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
After saying that he stormed the city gate, Qin Ge was shocked that if these people caused a riot, the consequences would be disastrous. He pulled out his broken teeth and shouted: "Dian Wei! Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed without mercy!" Dian Wei roared angrily and jumped up with his battle axe. , rushed into the city gate like the top of Mount Tai. These people had been hit by the plague, and their hands and feet had long been weak. Dian Wei rushed in and released the terrifying power of dragon and elephant, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves and flying away thousands of evolved people.
Seeing Dian Wei, who was like a demon, everyone in the city was trembling with fear, "Qin! We are members of the country, and you imprisoned us. Please heal us quickly. Are you going to treason?" Several Yanhuang City officials said The evolver roared at the top of his lungs. Qin Ge's priority in rescuing women and children made them feel desperate, and despair makes people crazy.
"Brother! You can't do it, let me do it! We have run out of herbs in our territory. Keeping these people will only add burden to our already overwhelmed territory. They will die sooner or later anyway, why don't I give them a good time!" Qin There was a flash of murderous intent in Jiwu's eyes. This was Qin Jiwu's perspective of ghosts and gods. He was almost cold-blooded in terms of the overall situation, and he was willing to be the butcher's knife in Qin Ge's hands. He wanted to be Qin Ge's shadow and bear the dark side of Qin Ge's road to dominance.
Qin Ge was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Ji Wu, you have to remember that this matter is not only about considering the overall situation, but this is a thunder pool and cannot be crossed!"
"Actually, I think what this little brother said is feasible!" At this time, a determined voice came from behind. Qin Ge quickly turned around and saw an old man from Qingzhao walking up accompanied by a cold-faced general. The visitors were none other than Zhu Jun and Xiahou Dun.
Feeling Xiahou Dun's terrifying power, Dian Wei abandoned the city gate and rushed over to block Qin Ge. Xiahou Dun, who had always been cold-faced, saw a glimmer of light leaking out of Dian Wei's eyes, and his cold and dull eyes became colorful.
Qin Ge saw that the old man's conversation was extraordinary, so he compiled and said: "May I ask the elder what you mean by this?"
Zhu Jun came over, looked at the Free Army maintaining order in front of the city gate, sighed and said: "A wise man should think about the overall situation. If his eyes are blinded because of pity, although he is virtuous, if he loses the big because of the small, It would be a loss of justice!" Zhu Jun had experienced the plague and knew the horror of the plague, so he said this.
Qin Ge thought about Zhu Jun's words for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "I am now the highest officer here, and I am the master of this place. As the master, I must be determined to persevere, uphold morality and follow the path, and dare not make any increase or decrease. If I lose my virtue, It is bound to be unrighteous. If you lose your virtue for the sake of wisdom today, someone in Qin will not have the virtue to be the master of others. This is ethics!"
Zhu Jun stroked his beard and smiled and said: "There is a virtuous person in this poor and remote country. Good! Good! The future generations are to be feared!"
Qin Ge was praised in this way and shook his head and said: "Qin's hands have long been stained with blood. A man of great virtue would not dare to take this responsibility. Why haven't you asked me your name yet?"
Zhu Jun lectures at Imperial College all year round, perhaps because of his husband's habit, he likes to debate and comment: "Virtue is not good. The measure of virtue lies in benefiting the people, rather than accumulating blessings and doing good. As long as it benefits the people, even if you lift a butcher's knife, it is still virtue." ! I have been marching all the way, and countless bandits have died under military orders. Is this a bad call? Boy, when you act as a man, you just need to be worthy of heaven and earth. You don’t have to stick to the so-called virtues and virtues. These virtues and virtues judge the predecessors. There are the standards of the past, and people today have the standards of the present. As for future generations, it is even more elusive! I, Zhu Jun!"
Qin Ge was stunned after hearing what Zhu Juan said. Is this what a great scholar said? In his impression, Confucianism attaches great importance to honor and integrity and is extremely pedantic. However, Zhu Jun's thoughts are simply too advanced. When Qin Ge saw Zhu Jun standing as straight as a sword, he suddenly said: "Right and wrong, merit and demerit, only He is worthy of his conscience, but the Zhu Jun in his eyes is only Zhu Jun in his eyes!"
Qin Ge knelt down on one knee and saluted Zhu Jun and said, "Qin Ge, the captain of the school guarding the mountains, is here to see General Zhonglang!"
Zhu Jun pulled Qin Ge up from the ground, stroked his beard and said, "What should Captain Qin do with these three million living beings!"
Qin Ge clasped his fists and said, "Do your best to obey fate!"
Zhu Jun laughed and said: "I traveled across the countryside from Mou County. I can hardly imagine that in such a war-torn place, there is such a paradise. The people in Mou County must be refugees from exile!"
Qin Ge was silent for a while and said: "About 80% of them are refugees from Taishan counties and Qingzhou."
Zhu Jun said in surprise: "There are now more than five million people in Mou County. How can one county support so many people? Your food reserves are almost running out! Now you have to support more than three million plague patients. I am afraid that you have already been unable to make ends meet. Come on!"
Qin Ge nodded and smiled bitterly: "Since the natural disaster broke out, the territory has been doing everything possible to purchase food and grass. But now as the remaining food has been exhausted in various places, food prices have skyrocketed. The only thing I hope for now is that you will wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits as soon as possible. I will use my merits to purchase food from the national treasury." Exchange for food and grass, emergency!"
Zhu Jun took a deep look at Qin Ge, thought for a moment and said: "At present, powerful powers are rising in various parts of the Han Dynasty. They all earn merits by robbing thieves to enter the court, and even ambitiously plan to cede territory and become king! Qin Xiaowei will definitely gain victory in this battle. It’s not impossible to exchange a huge amount of merit for a county’s governor. Do you really want to exchange your merit for supplies and give up your merit?”
Qin Ge smiled bitterly and said: "Even if there was no plague, I would still exchange for food and grass, otherwise those six million people would have starved to death!"
Zhu Jun looked at the wailing refugees all over the city and nodded and said: "These people are blessed. They have met you. I can use my authority to open the treasury for you in advance to redeem your merits, so as to relieve your urgent need, and I can also give you money from the treasury." You can exchange for a large amount of herbs to cure the plague, but even if you have enough food, grass and herbs, it may not be that easy for you to cure these plagues!"
After Qin Ge heard this, he frowned slightly and said: "The water sources and land here are all infected by the plague virus. Mou County has a dense population and we cannot move them to Mou County. Although we have found all the sources of the poison, there will be All the corpses of the plague have been cleaned up, but the plague has polluted the entire underground water system. It will take more than three months to wait for the poison of the plague to completely dissipate. If preventive measures and medicines are sufficient, these people will be completely recovered and return to normal life in half a year! "This means that Qin Ge will raise these people for half a year. This Xingyao's plan is really poisonous. Moreover, controlling the spread of plague poison in the water system is definitely not that simple. If one person does not control it well, it will spread to other states and counties, and the consequences will be endless.
Zhu Jun hesitated for a while, as if there was something he couldn't let go of, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Oh! That's all! I am respected as a great scholar, but I am outshone by your mind, Brother Qin. If you don't have any kindness at this time, , How can he be worthy of being a great Confucian?" As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized white jade flowerpot from the space storage device, and there was actually a small emerald green potted plant only one foot long growing in it.
"Ancient sacred tree! Jianmu!" Chunyu Wan'er's exclamation came from the side. Zhu Jun saw it was a woman and said in surprise: "You actually have such eyesight, it is really rare!"
Zhu Jun revealed a look of nostalgia and said to Qin Gemi with mental power: "When I was serving in Jiaozhou, I was kind to the Southern Barbarian tribe. They gave me the sacred tree of the tribe. This tree is known as the ancestor of ten thousand trees and has the ability to purify all toxins. Yes, even though it is a young tree, it is more than enough to purify the poison of plague in two counties!"
Chunyu Wan'er was so excited that she couldn't speak. Jianmu was the legendary pillar that maintained the ancient heaven. Later, during the Lich War, the Wu Clan destroyed Jianmu, and Jianmu disappeared since then. Later, the Shennong family owned Jianmu. , led the Shennong tribe to rise and became the ancestor of medicine. Now that he has encountered such a sacred tree, it will be beneficial to his medical skills if he uses the sacred tree.
Zhu Jun looked up at the mountains in the distance. This place was a Dragon Vein Cave in Mount Tai, which was perfect for placing the tree. After speaking, he pinched his fingers and shouted: "The earth's spiritual veins have shrunk to an inch!" Qin Ge only felt it. A golden mist surged out from under my feet. My feet trembled. I turned around and found that I had reached a mountain top. There was a clear spring on the top of the mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain, I had an unobstructed view of the landforms of Mou County, Laiwu and Gai County.
Zhu Jun handed the potted tree-like building wood to Qin Ge and said: "I give this wood to you, activate it with your blood, and I will release the dragon veins to nourish it to take root and sprout! By then it will be integrated with the mountains here, but I want I remind you that this tree is a sacred tree and will inevitably attract the covetousness of strong men or monsters, so you must not reveal the secret until you have the strength to protect it, otherwise the Taishan Mountains may become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"
Qin Ge was very grateful to Zhu Juan. He had once said to Hu Zhao about this Jianmu tree. Even a fragment of the Jianmu sacred tree would make immortals jealous. And one can imagine how precious this Jianmu sapling in stock is. With such a precious item, Zhu Jun used it to treat more than three million people from the plague. His mind was admirable. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Sir, Qin will never forget your kindness. I will do it for the three million people." Thank you!"
