He frowned. He didn't expect that a dozen infected people walking around the capital would have such a great power. It was really terrible.

"Jingzhao Yin!" Xia Zhengqi called out loudly.

"Go to the treasury and get ten tons of quicklime. Sprinkle it all over the streets and alleys of the capital to disinfect them. Hurry! Go now!"

"If ten tons isn't enough, just tell us how much is missing. If the treasury isn't enough, go to the Ministry of Revenue and get silver to buy more. Make sure every street and alley in the capital is covered, including every doorway."

Emperor Mingxi's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

[Ahhh! That's great! I didn't expect Daddy to give me a disinfection method and understand the seriousness of the situation.]

[Great, great, long live Daddy!]

Xia Miaoyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The queen was both relieved and amused to see her daughter, a tiny baby, acting so solemnly.

Lord Liu, the Jingzhao Yin, was stunned after hearing Xia Zhengqi's instructions.

He had been an official for more than ten years, but had never carried out such a grand epidemic prevention measure. The entire inner city, every household, every street and alley had to sprinkle quicklime.

The inner city of the capital is quite large, and spreading quicklime all over it would require an appalling amount of manpower and material resources.

Minister Zhao, who was standing next to him, saw that he was stunned, so he lifted his robe and kicked him quietly.

The Jingzhao Yin finally came to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, they are probably just staying in an inn. They wouldn't spread quicklime all over the capital, would they?"

"This is really a waste of time and money!"
