Chapter 321 New Policy
The soldier who was coughing up blood was also stunned. Looking at the red bloody sputum he coughed up, his face turned pale. After a long while, he endured the pain all over his body and knelt down in front of Qi Hongshen. "Young Master, Akang may have contracted the plague. He can no longer protect you. You should leave now."
Several other soldiers also knelt down and begged Qi Hongshen to go first.
Qi Hongshen looked at the soldier kneeling on the ground and felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was completely stunned and unable to react.
They were all infected with the plague. How could he, who was with them, escape it?
Ironically, it was he who allowed the plague-stricken people to leave Xirong and flow into Lingnan...
But in the end, he did not let Lingnan fall into an irretrievable situation. Instead, his own people were infected with the plague.
Thinking about how he had brought so many elite troops with him this time, and how he had been confident in capturing that woman Jiang Tangtangtang, but ended up in complete failure, Qi Hongshen sat on the ground and suddenly burst into laughter.
The soldiers looked at him in horror.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare us!"
"Young Master, there's still hegemony waiting for you to accomplish. You must hold on! You must not give up!"
"Right, right, right. The Great Zhou is no longer a force to be reckoned with. Within half a year, the capital, the most prosperous city of the Great Zhou, will fall without a fight. At this time, Young Master, you must not fall!"
"Please ask the young master to go back and take charge of the situation."
"Young Master has the energy of a true dragon protecting him, so he will definitely not be infected by the disease."
…
The soldiers tried their best to persuade him, and Qi Hongshen felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. What if he really wasn't infected?
Then think about your own ambitions, which he has not yet completed, how can you be willing to give up like this?
Qi Hongshen finally stood up, leaving behind a group of infected soldiers and fled alone.
But after running for only half a day, he developed a high fever and began to cough and show symptoms similar to those of several soldiers.

"Madam, some of the bodies of the Xirong soldiers haven't been cremated yet, and refugees are rushing over to grab their rations. Some are even picking off their weapons. We've repeatedly stressed the risk of contracting the disease, but the refugees aren't listening and are still frantically grabbing them."
Jiang Tangtang was sitting at the table looking at a map, thinking about how to accommodate the refugees outside the city gate, when he heard someone coming to report.
"Besides robbing the Xirong soldiers of their belongings, many refugees were reluctant to burn their deceased relatives, wanting them to rest in peace." The soldier said nervously, "Because of the refugees' refusal to cooperate, there are still a large number of bodies that have not been burned..."
Jiang Tangtangtang pinched her temples and said, "Spread the word and tell them that refugees who don't obey orders will no longer be allowed to enter the city. Also, entry into the city will require an assessment. Only those who pass the assessment can enter. Good health is also one of the conditions for entry. Sick people will not be allowed to enter the city."
Lingnan is now basically saturated with low-end talents, but there is still a shortage of knowledgeable and skilled talents.
Therefore, Lingnan does not completely prohibit refugees from entering the city, but they have to be selected.
"What about the remaining refugees?" The soldier who came to report was stunned and asked subconsciously.
"The remaining refugees..." Jiang Tangtang thought about several other places close to the sea besides Lingnan.
These were originally the lands of the Great Zhou, but later the Western Rong and the Great Zhou went to war, and some were taken away by the Western Rong, while others were taken away by the surrounding small countries.
They had no way to control the drought, and were unwilling to provide food for disaster relief, so they finally allowed the people to flee for their lives.
Many of the cities that were robbed are now like empty cities, with only a small number of troops stationed there. It is not difficult to take these places back.
"The remaining refugees will have new arrangements. You only need to tell them now that all those who disobey will be recorded. These disobedient people will no longer receive soup and porridge."
Jiang Tangtang glanced at the soldier and said, "I will send a few divine tigers to help you burn the body."
Seeing the tigers suddenly appear, the soldier was stunned. He barely managed to control his legs from shaking. "Madam, will these divine tigers listen to me?"
"Don't worry, I will tell the Divine Tigers in advance. They will come back after we finish dealing with the matter. You don't have to worry about it."
Jiang Tangtang gave Lili a few instructions, and Lili took a group of tigers and followed the soldiers to the outside of the city gate.
With a few divine tigers keeping the place in check, no refugees dared to act recklessly anymore.
Soon all the refugees who died of the plague and the bodies of the Xirong soldiers were wrapped in huge firewood and burned into a pile of ashes.
The divine tigers were very aloof in front of the refugees, but after completing their mission and returning to Jiang Tangtang, they were no different from Huskies.
Especially Lili.
Ever since the golden eagle awakened, it felt an unprecedented threat. That giant seemed even more formidable than it, and the key was that it could fly...
Fortunately, the owner still likes to call them when something happens.
Jiang Tangtang was amused by the sight of Lili looking so worried and trying so hard to please him.
"You're just a tiger, why are you pretending to be so profound?" Jiang Tangtang rubbed its big furry head and led a group of hard-working tigers into the space.
As soon as Jiang Tangtang entered the space, a golden eagle quickly appeared in front of Jiang Tangtang, showing a very aggrieved look.
Lili immediately gave the golden eagle a look of contempt. How shameless! This big guy actually pretended to be pitiful in front of his master.
Receiving Lili's gaze, the golden eagle was not to be outdone and gave it a look of disdain.
This lowly tiger from the mortal world actually dares to compete with it for favor. He really overestimates his own abilities.
The master just hasn't reactivated the spiritual contract with it yet. Once the spiritual contract is reactivated, the master will never use this stupid tiger again.
Jiang Tangtang hadn't noticed the two animals were secretly competing for favor. Now she was finally sure that the herbs grown in the space, combined with Xue Banxian's improved prescription, could cure the plague.
With the medicine to treat the plague and reasonable precautions, it is only a matter of time before the plague is brought under control.
Jiang Tangtang relaxed and began to think about how to deal with the drought.
She thinks the cultivation of sea rice can be expanded.
However, unlike the special geographical location of Lingnan and Nan'an, many places in Da Zhou can only be planted once a year.
If we want to plant sea rice in all places suitable for growing sea rice this year, we have to speed up and take back the territory.
Jiang Tangtang took a shower, changed her clothes and went to write a letter to Lu Shiyan.
Just as she was about to hand the letter to the carrier pigeon as usual, a golden eagle flew in front of her, used its strong body to push the pigeon away, and then extended its claws to Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang guessed based on its movements, "Are you going to help me deliver a letter?"
