In the capital of Shengle, the capital of the Xianbei Kingdom, a minister was kneeling at the feet of Murong Qi, the Great Khan of Xianbei. "Great Khan, I just received the news that a plague has occurred in the northwest. A large number of people and animals have died now, and the scope is wide." It is getting bigger and bigger and cannot be controlled at all. Now more and more people and animals are infected, and it is spreading towards the capital!"
"What?" Murong Qi stood up suddenly, "Why is this happening?"
"Father, the northwest is the place where the snowstorm is the worst. Many livestock died there, and now they are infected with the plague. I'm afraid there..." Murong Tu stood up and said.
"Yes!" Murong Qi clenched his fists, seeming to have made up his mind, "Send people to seal off the infected areas and not allow anyone to come out. The serious areas will be burned directly."
"Great Khan, there are... thousands of people there!" The minister couldn't bear it.
"Then do you have a solution?" Murong Qi looked at the minister.
"This does not."
"This is also the most helpless method. There has never been a cure for plagues in the past dynasties. Even in the fertile Central Plains, there is still no cure. I also do this to protect other people."
"Yes, the Great Khan is wise!"
After all the ministers exited the tent, Murong Li stepped forward and said, "Father, my daughter has an idea."
"Tell me about it." She admired this daughter very much. Not only was she smart, but she was also very decisive in doing things. It was a pity that she was a woman, otherwise it would have been possible for the position of Khan to be passed on to her.
"Father, why don't we do this..." Murong Qi and Murong Tu both nodded in agreement.
In a small courtyard in Youzhou City, Li Zhi had just sent away several children who had come to his place for class. Just as he was about to close the door, he pressed a hand against the door panel and said, "Sir, I'm back. Did you miss me?" the voice said. Extremely charming.
Li Zhi looked up and said, "Li'er, you're finally back." Although his tone was affectionate, his eyes were cold. He didn't like this feeling of being controlled, but there was nothing he could do about it. He knew that someone was always watching him, and he was just pretending not to know.
"When you come back this time, I have something I want you to do." Murong Li took Li Zhi's arm and walked inside.
"What is it?" Li Zhi took out his arm.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just met some people on the way back. They wanted to sell their livestock. I saw how poor they were and felt sorry for them, so I wanted to buy all their livestock. It's very cheap. You can Ask your students’ families if there is anything they need.”
Li Zhi was a little doubtful. When did she become so kind? "What kind of animal? A dead animal?" Li Zhi asked, squinting his eyes.
"Of course it's alive, who dares to buy dead ones!" Murong Li smiled charmingly and touched Li Zhi's face with one hand.
"Okay, I'll ask you tomorrow."
Murong Li smiled when he heard this and pulled Li Zhi into the back room...
The next day, parents who sent their children to class got the news from "Mrs. Li Zhi" that there were cheap livestock for sale. The price was so cheap that almost everyone bought one. Some who wanted to take advantage of it even offered to give it to them. Relatives also brought a few with them.
The families who can send their children to school are basically well off. The really rich people will ask their husbands to teach at home, or go to famous schools, and they will not study at Li Zhi. Therefore, families like this are more willing to take advantage of themselves.
We all agreed that when we pick up the children in the afternoon, the livestock seller will come, pay with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other.
During the lunch break, Li Zhi was eating when Murong Li came over and said, "I'm going to call the livestock buyer over. You have to wait for me at home!"
"Okay, go and come back quickly." Li Zhi said while eating slowly.
Murong Li leaned against Li Zhi, kissed him, smiled slightly, stood up and left.
Li Zhi did not look at her, but continued to eat.
In the afternoon, when the adults came to pick up the children, three men drove a few livestock to the small courtyard. Their faces were covered so tightly that they couldn't see their faces clearly, but everyone's focus was on the livestock. No one cared.
Li Zhi looked behind them, but did not see Murong Li. He didn't care, so he helped the parents of the children look after the livestock.
Soon, the money and goods were gone, everyone dispersed, and the three people also took the money and left. Until then, Murong Li still didn't come back, and Li Zhi didn't care. Anyway, she always left as soon as she said it. Come on, close the door and go back to the room.
The three men who sold livestock took the money and did not leave. Instead, they wandered casually on the street, and finally went to restaurants, gambling houses and brothels in the city...
A week later, many patients came to the hospital one after another. Most of their symptoms were headaches, vomiting, high fever, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing.
Everyone didn't pay attention to it before, just treating it as cold symptoms. After all, in the north in spring, cold and hot alternate, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. It is normal to have a cough and high fever. But what they didn't expect was that more and more people were getting sick, and even some The doctor at the medical center also fell ill, and even vomited blood and died.
Yang's mother in Xia Qingfeng's house, who often went shopping for food, was also infected with the cold. Xia Qingfeng went to check her pulse and found something was wrong.
She quickly sent someone to notify Cang Qiyuan. Cang Qiyuan came back and told her about the situation in the city in the past few days, and then she realized that there were so many sick people outside. During this time, she was bored at home editing lesson plans every day. There were many books in the space library, and it was more convenient for her to read them at home and write lesson plans. As a result, she almost never left the room except to eat.
She quickly put on N95 masks for everyone in the house and isolated Yang's mother in a courtyard. People in the house who had been in contact with Yang's mother recently were also isolated in a courtyard.
She arranged for the servants to use the disinfectant she took out from the space to disinfect the whole house, and arranged for all the female relatives in the house to make masks.
She sent a message to Xu Xiaoxiao on the mountain, asking her to come back quickly, and asked them all to wear masks. The two foxes stayed on the mountain and did not come back unless absolutely necessary.
She also handwritten a small card with precautions to be taken during the epidemic. It was so small that many copies could be printed on one piece of A4 paper, and the material of the paper would not attract anyone's attention. She used multiple printers in the space to make thousands of copies at the same time, and asked three maids and Xiaoxi to cut the papers and give them to Cang Qiyuan, who asked him to arrange for them to be distributed to every household.
Xia Qingfeng also asked Cang Qiyuan to quickly order people to close the city gates. All residents were not allowed to go out. The streets were guarded by soldiers and no one was allowed to move around. She also took out boxes after boxes of N95 masks from the space and asked him to distribute them to soldiers on duty. Recycle them after use and are not allowed to be taken back or thrown around.
After arranging all the affairs in the house, she went out with her two apprentices.
They wore protective clothing and masks, with symbols representing their status painted on their clothes. The maids and guards around them were also fully armed. They distributed masks to everyone they met, and headed all the way to the largest medical clinic in the city.
