Weiyuan Tower.
Zhao Weixian's expression was very complicated. Liang Chuan, a birdman, caused a rebellion among the mountain people a few years ago. Song Guangdou was dismissed on his behalf that time. Seeing that he kept his official position because he was a member of the clan, he had just come back after three days. It's not even time, there's trouble again on the mountain!
He was wondering if Liang Chuan was deliberately trying to mess with him and cause trouble!
The gates of Weiyuan Tower are kept open day and night, and the lanterns are lit at night. The prefect will take a rest, but his subordinates are on duty almost all the time.
Zhao Weixian was dug up by Liang Chuan overnight. He thought it was a good thing, but he didn't expect that such a big problem would arise for him.
"Prince Zhao needs the Quanzhou Prefecture to come forward this time. The plague is critical and serious. It is really not the responsibility of the Xinghua Army. If it spreads, Quanzhou Prefecture may suffer countless casualties!"
Liang Chuan's expression was very urgent, and the bags under his eyes were dark and heavy, showing that he had traveled a long distance.
The Xinghua Army is also affiliated with Quanzhou Prefecture and is under the jurisdiction of Zhao Weixian. Although you are the prince, you just owed yourself a favor a few days ago. As a prince, you have no reason to sit idly by in public or private matters.
Zhao Weixian was so angry in his heart that he wanted to just sit back and ignore it. He usually stayed at home and just focused on being an idle prince. It was your boy who was causing trouble for him all day long.
Now is the time for him to earn his performance, and he only wants to be transferred back to Bianjing and shine in this most vital moment of his life. You, Liang Chuan, are like a roadblock, and things are happening one after another!
If the disaster relief and epidemic prevention are not effective at this time, the imperial censor will definitely be impeached until death. By then, he will never even dream of returning to Bianjing. He is afraid that he will be transferred to a remote and miserable place like Shuchuan!
Zhao Weixian's head is still clear, and Quanzhou Prefecture lacks everything except money and supplies. If you want anything, go to the port and negotiate the price with merchants from various places. They will deliver it to you as quickly as possible, and the quality will be guaranteed. Keep quantity!
"You went to Xinghua Mountain and saw it with your own eyes. How was it?"
Liang Chuan did not hide anything and wrote the real situation to Zhao Weixian. When he talked about the corpse pile outside Xilin Village and the mass graves under Maixie Rock, he lost control of his emotions and almost shed tears.
Those who died were all the refugees who listened to his words and migrated from northern Shaanxi thousands of miles away. I wanted to take them to settle here, take root and grow and live a good life from then on, but I took them on a road of no return. , how can Liang Chuan not blame himself?
The human heart is made of flesh. Zhao Weixian has been pampered since he was a child. Although he cannot understand the feeling of struggling on the edge of death, he also knows that the life of ordinary people is not easy. Otherwise, why would the people in that place raise their weapons in this peaceful age? rebel?
Zhao Weixian listened carefully to Liang Chuan's description and frowned even more. The population in the mountains was sparse and almost every household was infected with the disease. If it were a densely populated area like the plains, how many people would be infected?
Qingyuan and Xinghua are separated by a water, and there are a large number of Xinghua people in Qingyuan Port making a living on the port dock. Once these people bring the plague to Qingyuan Mansion, how many people will die by then? Zhao Weixian dare not go there anymore Think about it!
This was the early stage of the spread of the plague, and thanks to Liang Chuan's early discovery when he went to the mountains, if it had been delayed any longer, who knows how many people would have died and how much money would have been spent to rescue these victims!
Zhao Weixian's eyes flashed with a cold light. If Liang Chuan hadn't known the nobles in the capital, he would have known that there was a plague in the mountains and would have sealed the mountains long ago. Then he set a fire to completely burn the dry matter while the sky was dry, so as to save money. A lot of national money!
If he doesn't save him now, he will be facing trouble with his own future. As long as Liang Chuan goes to Xia Song and others' ears and talks about it, he will sink and he will never be able to turn around for the rest of his life!
"I think you come to see me this time, Sanlang. You must have a good plan to defeat the epidemic. Why not tell me directly. In the future, Sanlang will definitely be the first to contribute to the fight against chaos!"
Zhao Weixian is not confused about major matters. He has seen big scenes and can control a small plague. Moreover, Liang Chuanji told the truth that the turmoil in his heart is not too big. There are not a few people who died somewhere. If a flood comes, those who die There are more people. As long as it is not a subjective decision-making error on his part, and the court holds him accountable, his responsibility will not be too great!
Liang Chuan said: "It's not really a countermeasure, it's just some ideas. If the prince doesn't give up, you can listen to it!"
Zhao Weixian quickly stood up and saluted Liang Chuan and said, "I would like to thank Sanlang for his great kindness on behalf of the people of Xinghua!"
Liang Chuan couldn't bear this gift and said: "I am the one who wants to thank you on behalf of the people of Xinghua. When this plague passes, I will write an article about your deeds and send it to Bianjing and Xia. Qingyuan will This small land cannot accommodate your great Buddha, Your Majesty. The land of Bianjing is soaring thousands of miles away, so it can show its great power!"
This is right, this is the best, Zhao Weixian suddenly became energetic!
"Please give me some advice, Saburo!"
"The most scarce things right now are undoubtedly medicinal materials and food. Having these two things can help the mountain people tide over the difficulties. I also discussed with Duan Zhijun in the Xinghua Army. The food in the Xinghua Army is military rations and cannot be touched, but Weiyuan Tower What I have is ordinary grain reserves. I have sent people to purchase grains from all over the place. I am afraid that they won’t be able to transport them into the mountains for a while. I hope that the prince will take the common people into consideration.”
"This is easy to handle. I will order Cao Qiansong to escort the grain and send it to Xinghua immediately. You don't need to worry about the medicinal materials. It is the duty of the imperial court to provide disaster relief and help the people. How can you be allowed to waste money and eliminate disasters alone?" Go out and show me where Weiyuan Lou’s face is concerned. In this way, make a detailed list of the materials you purchased and tell me in detail, and go to the house to settle the accounts in the coming day. Weiyuan Lou will definitely not short you a fortune!"
Liang Chuan originally planned to spend an unknown amount of money to fight against the natural disaster, but he did not want to calculate the money. The money earned in Qingyuan Port could not be spent for generations. Wouldn't it be better to use the money to do some good deeds? good!
Now that Zhao Weixian has said this, it is better, as the court's money will not be used in vain.
"Then I asked the prince to be in charge of Weiyuan Tower. We must strictly check the merchants and travelers passing by recently. It would be best to seal the city gate directly, with no way out, and wait until the plague has passed before letting them go, and then quickly inform the transfer envoy. Your Excellency, ask him to seal off the surrounding counties and cities in Xinghua, and send people to guard the main mountain roads and checkpoints to prevent the disease from spreading to the surrounding counties and cities. As for the matters inside, leave it to me!"
This last sentence was so impassioned that even Zhao Weixian was infected by Liang Chuan's spirit of letting go of thousands of people, and he bowed to Liang Chuan again. Other than that, he had no way to express his admiration to Liang Chuan!
After coming out of Weiyuan Building, Liang Chuan suppressed his tiredness and rushed to Xinghua with An Yisheng, Secretary Huang and Sun Liang. Yelu Chongguang took Nihu to Zhuang's Pharmacy to purchase medicinal materials. It may not be that fast for a while!
It's a race against time. If you're a little slower, someone may die. The situation on the mountain is urgent and there is no room for sloppiness!
What he didn't expect was that He Chunsheng actually walked in front of him. According to Liang Chuan's request, he distributed all the gauze, quilts and other materials that could be purchased at the port and warehouse in the Chamber of Commerce. We mobilized dozens of huge carriages to send the goods to Xinghua first!
When Liang Chuan saw these things, he felt a little more confident. A clever woman can't make a meal without straw. Only with something can she resist the plague. What can she do with just a mouth? Cry?
The group of people waded through mountains and rivers, almost killing An Yisheng. He called Liang Chuan uncle, but he was the oldest among them. Doctors do not heal themselves, and this is the most labor-intensive profession. He is weak and weak. The wind, when the horse came down, almost shook his old bones to pieces!
What is admirable is his willpower. He fell apart and fell apart. He didn't even make a sound along the way. By the afternoon of the next day, he persisted until he reached the gate of Xinghua City!
The gate of Xinghua City was closed tightly, blocking the way of the group of people!
"Who is that?" the soldiers guarding the city said unceremoniously.
Liang Chuan raised his hands to the soldiers at the city gate and said, "We are villagers from Fengshan. A plague has broken out in Shicang Township. We bought a large amount of medicinal materials and food from Qingyuan County and are preparing to escort them back."
"Where are the food and medicinal materials?" The soldier only saw a few people, but did not see any food.
"These things are following behind. There are too many supplies and it is difficult to travel. I would like to ask the military master to make it easier!"
The soldier snorted coldly. Duan Zhijun's order was to close the city. He had the final say whether it could open the door or not. Ever since he got this order, he wanted to get some money out of it. Liang Chuan wanted to enter the city in just a few words. He was daydreaming!
"It's convenient for you, but who will be convenient for me? Duan Zhijun has an order that no one is allowed to enter the city, regardless of whether you are transporting food or pulling excrement!"
Liang Chuan and his party traveled thousands of miles to save people, but these stinky Qiu Ba used chicken feathers as arrows and hid high above the city wall in an arrogant manner! This tone was so hard to swallow that Sun Shubo was so angry that he started scolding him at the foot of the city: "You douchebag, do you dare to come down and fight with grandpa for three or five rounds? Grandpa won't be able to beat you." If you look for teeth all over the place, I will lose you!"
These soldiers don't have a good temper. They are used to running amok in this three-acre area. Who dares to tell them what to do, let alone speak harshly to them? They feel that their dignity has been insulted, and they do not hesitate. Cheng, actually picked up the bow and arrow and started shooting!
This really angered Liang Chuan, and Liang Chuan immediately ordered Liang Shiguang to say: "Shiguang, shoot all these bastards to death, and leave no one alive!"
Seeing Liang Chuan suffer a loss, the soldiers guarding the city laughed happily on the city wall. They didn't think that any of Liang Chuan and the others could shoot a bow and draw an arrow, and they had such good archery skills. It would not be easy to hit them with the city wall blocking them!
In their view, the task from above was to guard the city gate. As for what happened, that was not their concern at all!
They laughed wantonly, their laughter was so chilling!
