Chapter 384 The Plague

Chapter 384 The Plague

The ship was robbed, and it wasn't until half a day later that Zhou Wen noticed something was wrong.

Although he is busy with military affairs and doesn't have much energy to take care of the food, he still has a clear picture of the specific movement and location every day.

According to common sense, these grains should also arrive.

But after waiting for a long time, the grain truck did not arrive. Zhou Wen panicked, and hurriedly led a group of people to the shore to check.

Seeing this, he was stunned.

There were no ships on the shore, and the dead bodies everywhere told him that the trade route had been attacked.

This is Wei Chu's second transaction.

In order to be on the safe side last time, Wei Bao did not transport too much grain at one time. After ensuring everything was safe, this time, Wei Bao would purchase 150 ships of grain at one time.

Unexpectedly, something happened.

"Who can tell me what happened?"

Wei Bao stood on the shore and roared loudly.

It's a pity that no one can answer his words except the dead body.

That kind of dumbness made him extremely speechless.

When Wei Bao heard the news, he also jumped up and down, ordering Zhou Wen to find the lost food no matter what method he used, otherwise his head would be used to stabilize people's hearts.

Zhou Wen had no choice but to let his soldiers go down the river and search everywhere.

Although the scuttled ship was found, there was no package of provisions.

Wei Bao was furious, but Zhou Wen was the number one general under his command. From the perspective of the overall situation, he still held back the dissatisfaction deep in his heart, and only beat Zhou Wen [-] times.

Then he asked Chen Yu to organize the nobles of Wei State to collect money and prepare to go to Chu State to buy food again.

But at this moment, Ying Gang, who returned to Xingyang, was refreshed.

The three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han have been divided by him, and Wei has suffered setbacks everywhere, and its national strength has been damaged.

Although Wei State only sent over 15 people, there were ups and downs. For Wei State, a war-torn country, such a blow was enough for them to recover for a long time.

However, Ying Gang's stable mood did not last long.

"Reporter, the people below are here to report that there is a plague." Han Xin walked in quickly, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, with a livid expression on his face.

"What?" Ying Gang opened his eyes wide in horror.

"This is an urgent report." Han Xin didn't waste any time. He stepped forward and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Ying Gang.

Ying just gathered himself together, took the bamboo slips, unfolded them and read them.

After a while, the eyebrows twisted into a "chuan" shape.

plague!

The so-called natural disasters are not floods or droughts, but the plagues after the floods.Yinggang has protective measures against drought and flood, but not plague.

Although he has a system that can be exchanged for medicines to treat various plagues in this era, but for the huge number of victims, this medicine is not enough to cure everyone.

And the purchase of production lines, in this era, there is no supporting upstream and downstream processes.

Therefore, the most appropriate method is to use Qin's treatment methods.

Although Xingyang was not seriously affected by the disaster, the surrounding area of ​​Sanchuan County was all plague-stricken.

A plague can easily kill tens of thousands of people.

Ying Gang's hands holding the bamboo slips trembled a little, and he could no longer keep calm in his heart.

If the enemy comes to attack, soldiers can come to water the enemy to the earth weir.But the plague, the plague, cannot be defended against.

"Medical materials, medicinal materials. I remember that before the disaster, I ordered to stockpile some of the medicinal materials to deal with the plague. Immediately send someone to transport them, and send some doctors there to prevent the plague. Prevent it from spreading into Xingyang and into Guanzhong." After Ying just finished reading it, he immediately ordered.

"Promise." Han Xin promised, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he bent over and said, "This time, Guanzhong has also been flooded, and the probability of plague is also very high. Do you want to send a message to your majesty, so that Guanzhong can stand ready?" ?”

This is a supplementary comment.

Ying just nodded without going through his brain and said, "Just as you said, prepare a document and send it to Xianyang."

"Promise." Han Xin promised, and turned to leave.

"Wait, not only Guanzhong, but Bashu as well, stand ready." Ying Gang stopped Han Xin again and ordered.

"Hi."

After Han Xin left, Ying Gang couldn't calm down.

Now there are hundreds of people, and it will be thousands in a few days?Tens of thousands of people?The population that was finally gathered may disappear part of it all at once.

Ying Gang only felt his heart twitch violently.

The situation in Xingyang did not develop according to Ying Gang's expectations.

Xingyang was the first to suffer from the plague.

The plague happened suddenly and spread quickly.

By the time they started treating them, hundreds of people had already been infected.After more than ten days, the number of infected people has reached nearly a thousand.

And it's still spreading.

Originally, Luoyang was sparsely populated due to the war, and the reinforcement of the river was also the weakest.The disaster was also the worst in Sanchuan County.

According to statistics some time ago, more than 300 people were affected by the disaster.

These people have nothing.Government relief is required.Food is distributed every half month.In addition, food prices have also risen sharply.

Although Yinggang and the others tried their best to release grain to calm down the price, the rise is still going on.

This time, the plague exacerbated the skyrocketing food supply and the panic among the people.

Since Changsha fell into Liu Feng's hands, it has become turbulent for the first time.

At this moment, in the study room of Luoyang Prefecture.

Ying just sat on the main seat, looking hesitant.Li You stood there with an excited expression.

"Prefect Li, Your Majesty has ordered you to come to Sanchuan County. It is an important task. At this moment, it is time to make a quick decision. I have ordered Lieutenant Zhongli Mei to mobilize the army to clean up the entire Sanchuan County and cleanse those profiteers who are driving up food prices." Win. Gang's face was red and his body was filled with murderous intent.

"My son may have said it a little lightly. Which of those profiteers who are driving up prices is not a local tycoon? If they are all cleaned up, they will cause trouble." Li You sighed.

The current situation is that the plague is approaching and the people's hearts are unstable.And, the tyrants and gentry in Sanchuan County are driving up food prices and making huge profits.

Luoyang is a place full of tyrants, and the tyrants are very powerful. It can be seen that any family has thousands of gold in family assets and countless fertile fields.

Over the past year, many efforts have been made to stabilize Sanchuan County.Appease the powerful, be friendly with the powerful, and control the place.

Some achievements have been made, but because of a flood, these people's hearts have been shaken.

Drive up food prices, leading to social unrest.

According to Li You's meaning, he continued to appease and persuade the powerful to lower the price of food and stabilize the people's hearts.But what Ying Gang meant was to cut through the mess quickly and carry out a big cleansing.

It is best to wash part of it with blood and deter part of it, so as to quickly stabilize Sanchuan County.

Ying Gang still tends to be gentle, feeling disappointed for a while.Although Li You is capable, he can mediate the internal relations of all parties and stabilize the place.

The ability is okay, but it is not decisive in killing.

"Okay, this matter will be done as I said."

Ying Gang said firmly.

Li You finally swallowed the words.

Although Ying Gang has no official position, his current posture is enough to make Li You speechless.
