Chapter 257 Martial Law Declared Citywide



However, before the grain is transported, the county town must be disinfected on a large scale first.

Upon hearing Yin Yi's report that the grain was in place, Shen Yingying turned to look at the county magistrate.

Because the county magistrate squeezed next to the couple, the county clerk was still behind them and hadn't moved out of his way.

"Magistrate He, go and see how much lime powder we have collected so far."

Regardless of how much is raised, it should be spent on the main roads first.

Then it gradually spreads to the surrounding areas.

If the villagers have lime powder, let them sprinkle a layer around their houses.

The county magistrate, upon receiving the order, no longer hesitated and quickly replied, "Yes!" before squeezing past the county magistrate to carry out the command.

After assigning the duties to the county magistrate, Shen Yingying said directly to the county magistrate, "Magistrate Xu, gather all the candidates in the county office together now so I can distribute the medicine to them one by one."

Upon hearing the princess's words, the county magistrate also took his daughter to gather the staff of the county office.

With everyone else gone, the couple took Yin Yi back to the study.

Fearing that the lime powder collected in the county would not be enough, Shen Yingying took out another fifty tons of lime powder from her spatial storage and had Yin Yi put it into her spatial storage.

Why only fifty tons? It's because the level of the Hidden Space ability isn't high enough.

Yin Yi's current superpower is only at the peak of the second tier.

The space is limited, but it's enough for now.

After giving him the lime powder, just in case, Shen Yingying took out two buckets of diluted spiritual spring water for him to take away and give to the entire caravan.

After giving her the goods, she sent Yin Yi to fetch lime powder from outside the city so that it could enter the city first.

She specifically requested that the lime powder be delivered to the city gate first.

People transporting goods outside the city were instructed not to come into contact with people inside the city, and grain, like lime powder, was to be transported first to the city gate.

Fifteen minutes later, the magistrate summoned everyone in the county government office except those on duty to the front courtyard.

When Shen Yingying saw that there were fewer than fifty people in the county government office, she took out two 18-liter water buckets.

She first had everyone drink a spoonful of the spiritual spring water.

She then had the magistrate take the rest back to his study, and instructed him to distribute the medicine (spiritual spring water) once a day at a fixed time.

The situation at the county government office has been temporarily resolved; what remains are the most impoverished people.

Ouyang Yuqing ordered the county magistrate to impose martial law on the entire city, and advised ordinary people not to leave their homes unless necessary, and to wait for rescue.

Those who disobey orders will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane for minor offenses, or be executed on the spot for serious offenses.

After giving instructions about the lime powder, the county magistrate reported to Ouyang Yuqing and his wife.

"Your Highness, we rushed to collect lime powder today, and we only managed to gather less than thirty tons in the city."

The main problem is that lime powder isn't really used much on a regular basis, so it's not common in the city...

However, I have already instructed people to distribute these funds according to the Queen's instructions.

After hearing this, Shen Yingying did some mental calculations. Based on her mental ability, if the entire county were to be covered with lime powder, it would take at least eighty tons.

Fortunately, she gave Yin Yi fifty tons as an emergency measure.

“Magistrate He, I have already sent people to bring over fifty tons of lime powder.”

You can order someone to go to the city gate and bring it back in an hour.

Did you isolate patients with varying degrees of the plague?

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate became quite pleased with himself.

The lord had the foresight to have the city's doctors gather the plague-stricken refugees and civilians in the abandoned brothels ahead of time.

It's just that they didn't differentiate between mild and severe cases.

The county magistrate told Shen Yingying about this.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yingying instructed the county magistrate to isolate the patient and to find a quiet courtyard in the city to find several virtuous doctors to help her prepare the medicine.

The county magistrate felt like a spinning top; as soon as he finished one task, another was waiting for him.

However, feeling very relaxed now, he happily went off to carry out his mission again.
