Li Youqing glanced down and told Zhou Ji's office: "Explain it to Su Yuyi."
Zhou Ji's office took the order, and then faced Su Xian and started talking——
To put it simply, this method is going quite smoothly.
Nalanjie, the prince of Hunxie, and Princess Nalanyan of Ruyi, whom Su Xian captured in Youzhou, have been pardoned and released from prison by Li Youqing, and Nalanyan has returned to the Liao Kingdom.
Nalanjie, the eldest son of Prince Hunxie, stayed behind.
Together with another prince and prince who came from Liao, he formed the "Liao negotiator". During the negotiation process, the prince's opinions were mainly used, and Nalanjie could only serve as a support.
On the Daliang side, Wang Sima personally led the team.
The prince who came from the Liao Kingdom was named Nalanxiong. He was the prince of the Liao Dynasty and the "Nan Tu King". If King Hunxie was not a firm pro-Liang faction, then this Nan Tu King was. Determined to destroy the Liang faction.
King Nantu was very powerful in Daliao, more powerful than King Hunxie.
Many tribes and princes in the Liao Kingdom hated Liang, so King Nan Tu was still the "majority" of the Liao Kingdom and the representative figure of the "Liang Destroyers Faction".
Therefore, the "negotiation" process is extremely difficult.
Fortunately, although the Crown Prince of Nan Tu was a staunch "Liang Destroyer", the 30,000 prisoners captured by Su Xian were mainly from the tribes to which King Nan Tu and his allies belonged.
The tribes of the Liao Kingdom were the basis of the Liao Emperor's rule. Each tribesman was a natural cavalryman, but their number was very small. And it's not suitable for growth. It would be great if it could be redeemed.
At present, the negotiation process is stuck on the key point of "how much food a single prisoner can exchange for."
The Liao Kingdom naturally hopes to exchange as little food as possible.
On Daliang's side, because the reality of the food shortage cannot be exposed, it must show an "arrogant" and "forget it if you don't change it" attitude, but it cannot completely anger the Liao Kingdom and turn the table away. This degree is really difficult to control.
When Su Xian heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "What should we do? The negotiations are deadlocked and we cannot exchange for food for a long time. What if our food reserves are exhausted..."
Wang Sima laughed and said:
"Don't worry, Su Yuyi. Although Prince Nantu is difficult to deal with, after several days of negotiations, he has shown signs of relenting. It doesn't matter. We can reach an agreement in three or four days at most!"
Su Xian looked relaxed and said with a smile:
"That's good, Wang Sima will take action personally, and it will be a success!"
"..."
Seeing that Su Xian had understood the situation clearly, Li Youqing asked with hope: "Can Su consult anything to add? You are now the consultant of this palace. If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them."
Wang Sima, Zhou Jishi and others also turned to look at him.
There are still many capable people in the princess's house, such as Wang Sima. This man is not weak in resourcefulness and is steady. He is indeed the princess's arm... Su Xian waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Wang Sima's method is very good. I am ashamed that I can't think of a better method."
Li Youqing nodded, but he was not disappointed. He stood up slowly and said, "I am tired."
"I'll take my leave." Wang Sima and others bowed and turned to leave the tent.
"..."
As soon as everyone turned around, they heard Su Xian shout loudly: "Wait a minute!"
Everyone turned around. Li Youqing looked a little tired, but still asked: "Is there anything else Su Consultation wants to say?"
Su Xian bowed and said, "Your Highness, everyone, are you missing something important?"
"Is it something important?" Li Youqing frowned and slowly sat back in his chair. After thinking for a long time without any clue, he looked at Su Xian and asked, "Su Xian, please make it clear, is there anything else that is important?"
"Yes, Su Consultation, just say it directly." Zhou Ji's office and other subordinate officials also returned to their original positions and stood still.
"Your Highness, since ancient times, great disasters must be followed by great epidemics. I wonder if your Highness can prevent the most likely outbreak of the plague?" Su Xian asked.
】
In ancient times when medical skills were rudimentary, prevention was always an effective means to eliminate plague.
Even in the 21st century, it is still important to break the chain of infection.
I just heard them discussing it for so long, but they didn't even mention the prevention of plague.
Su Xian was very puzzled.
In these evil ancient times, a small cold could kill a person, not to mention a plague that was both contagious and lethal. The ancients usually "discussed the plague".
In fact, Su Xian also knew that in ancient times, if one person in a village was infected with the plague, the entire village would be abandoned and left to fend for themselves...
How inhumane that is!
Thinking about the parents who contracted the plague, before they died in pain, and looked at their children who also died soon, their hearts would probably be broken.
There are also those children who throw themselves on their parents who died of the plague, wailing loudly, and the sky is falling, but they don’t know that the sickle of death has also reached out to them...
This is truly a human tragedy.
More devastating than suffering a flood.
Although being drowned in a flood is painful, it is only a physical pain. After contracting the plague, you suffer both physical and emotional damage. You can tell endless stories of blood and tears...
In Su Xian's view, this situation is as tragic as a war, and he has been doing his best to avoid war.
He possesses knowledge and insights that transcend ancient and modern times, and there is no need to wait any longer!
Li Youqing was startled when he heard this, a little stunned. It seemed that he did not expect that Su Xian would raise this question. Is this... considered a problem?
Zhou Ji's office was also stunned for a while, and he couldn't help frowning and said: "Su Zhenyi, this plague..."
He seemed reluctant to mention the word "plague". After a long pause, he continued: "...This is a destiny. God's will is like this. How can human power resist it?"
Li Youqing nodded, this was what she was thinking.
Wang Sima let out a long sigh. He was over sixty years old and had seen countless separations between life and death. He frowned and said, "We have made arrangements for this matter. If a plague is discovered, the people in a village will be quickly isolated..."
"Then let them fend for themselves and perish on their own!" Su Xian said solemnly. "To fend for themselves and perish on their own" is actually a misnomer. It should be "to fend for themselves and perish".
"Eh……"
Wang Sima sighed, shook his head and stopped talking.
Zhou Ji's office and other subordinate officials also remained silent, leaving them to fend for themselves in order to save more people, although they knew full well that many people suffered accidental injuries.
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
Li Youqing pondered for a while, looked at Su Xian and said:
"Every common person is important to the court, but plague is like a natural disaster, and manpower is sometimes poor. For the sake of more people's lives, we must... sacrifice the interests of a small number of people!"
Su Xian was startled when he heard this. Is Li Youqing... comforting, enlightening or teaching him?
Looking back carefully at her look and tone, it seemed true.
It was also difficult for her to have the patience to tell me this... Su Xian stepped forward resolutely, faced Li Youqing's complicated eyes, and said loudly:
"Your Highness, although the plague is a natural disaster, it is not uncontrollable! Although manpower is sometimes limited, as long as we find the right methods, we can prevent the invisible and intangible plague..."
"And I happen to know some ways to prevent the plague!"
"..."
