Half an hour later.
The main hall of the imperial palace.
Bai Qi, Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao, Xiao He, Shen Wansan...
Everyone knelt down respectfully.
Jiang Tian was wearing a mask.
“Starting today, anyone who dares not wear a mask will be executed.” Jiang Tian walked up to Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba coughed incessantly.
This strong, thin monkey was ravaged by the plague and was no longer recognizable as human.
No one present listened to Jiang Tian's words.
They had no idea what the purpose of these seemingly insignificant little masks was.
Upon seeing Jiang Tian's anger, Li Yuanba quickly grabbed a mask and put it on.
"My lord, please don't be angry." Li Yuanba coughed a dozen more times. "My lord doesn't know, but my body has never suffered like this since birth."
"I don't know what's wrong, I've been coughing non-stop since last night,"
Before Li Yuanba could finish speaking, a series of funeral music drifted from outside the palace.
Jiang Tiantian frowned as she heard the funeral music.
"Xiao He, Shen Wansan, how many people in the city have died from the plague?"
"Reporting to my lord, at least ten percent of the people in the city have died from the plague," Xiao He said, reciting these figures with great familiarity.
"Have all the orders I issued been strictly implemented?"
"This..." Everyone present paused for a moment.
"My lord, will doing it the way you say it will work?" Shen Wansan was still coughing despite wearing a mask.
"Of course it's useful."
Although Jiang Tian said this, he could tell that almost no one believed him.
In the eyes of these people, the plague is death hovering around them, and the Black and White Impermanence, who are known for their deadly possessions, are lurking around them.
They were hoping for some quicklime.
Can you really expect some face masks that are just covering your mouth to be effective?
"You don't believe me?" Jiang Tian said angrily.
Everyone quickly shook their heads.
"Then do as I say."
"The garrison inside and outside the city was immediately mobilized, and the lime kilns in the lime kilns operated non-stop for 12 hours a day."
"No one shall leave their rooms without my order."
"Citywide curfew."
"When the people lacked food, soldiers delivered it to them."
"promise……"
Jiang Tian knew about these measures.
It can only control the further spread of the plague.
However, these measures are not enough to completely cure those who have already been infected with the plague.
What Jiang Tian lacks now is a doctor.
He quickly opened the system.
Just then, Jiang Tian was surprised to find an icon flashing in the personnel section.
As expected, the system understands me best.
Jiang Tian quickly swiped to the "People" section.
Li Shizhen.
The greatest medical scientist of the Ming Dynasty.
He devoted decades of his life to traversing the mountains and rivers of China, searching every corner of the land.
He wrote the "Compendium of Materia Medica".
This book contains prescriptions for treating the plague.
Jiang Tian exchanged his money for Li Shizhen without hesitation.
Exchanging for Li Shizhen doesn't cost much, only less than 200,000 rage points.
Jiang Tian's system already has over 2 million rage points.
It continued until the next morning.
Li Shizhen had just entered the palace and stood before Jiang Tian.
"This humble subject, Li Shizhen, greets Your Majesty." Li Shizhen knelt respectfully before Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian quickly stepped forward and helped Li Shizhen up.
I learned today that Li Shizhen was a very upright person.
Li Shizhen was a highly skilled physician who took it upon himself to heal the sick and save lives.
Li Shizhen was originally a physician in the Imperial Medical Academy, but he left in anger because he was dissatisfied with the intrigue and power struggles within the academy.
After leaving, Li Shizhen devoted himself to writing the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Even so, some people still slandered him to the Jiajing Emperor.
As a result, Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica was confiscated by the government.
The government officials burned Li Shizhen's manuscript of "Compendium of Materia Medica" again and again.
Even so, Li Shizhen never yielded.
During the Jiajing era, Li Shizhen and Hai Rui were both renowned figures of the Ming Dynasty, known for their unyielding integrity and unyielding spirit.
"Li Shizhen, please sit down. Someone, bring a seat for Physician Li." Jiang Tian snapped his fingers.
Two eunuchs brought in a huge folding chair.
"Thank you, my lord. I dare not accept such praise. I will stand here."
Not yet. After Li Shizhen finished speaking, Jiang Tian pressed Li Shizhen down into the chair and said, "In my life, I admire two kinds of people the most. One is people with ability like you. The other is people with ability like me."
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he burst into laughter.
Li Shizhen sat in that chair, restless and uneasy.
“Let’s move on to the next topic,” Jiang Tianming, the eunuch, said, bringing over a chair and sitting down next to Li Shizhen.
"Li Shizhen, what is your opinion on the current plague? How can we quickly stop its spread?"
"My lord, I took a stroll through several villages outside the capital today." Li Shizhen glanced at Jiang Tian and then quickly lowered his head.
"Your Majesty's measures are concise and well-organized, and I admire them greatly. Your Majesty's measures can temporarily slow the spread of the plague."
"But these measures of our lord must be implemented quickly."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian patted his chest.
As someone who traveled from the 21st century.
