Qin Youran found the employment letter template used by Wen Ding and copied a copy. His handwriting was neat, elegant and graceful, just like him. You could tell a person’s character by his handwriting, and that must be him.
After the engagement ceremony, the marriage between the Prince of Qin's Mansion and the Shangshu Ling's Mansion was officially confirmed.
Qin Youran gave the engagement letter to her maid Hong Qiang and asked her to give it to Qin Sang.
Hong Qiang handed the engagement letter to Qin Sang, who read it and said, "Your Highness is truly thoughtful. He values Princess Jiakang so much that he even wrote the engagement letter himself."
Hong Qiang smiled and said, "Aunt, our prince also said that the engagement gift must be good and valuable."
Qin Sang said, "Do as Your Highness wishes. We'll have to tell them to do things more efficiently. Your Highness marrying Princess Jiakang is the top priority in the Prince Qin's Palace."
A plague really broke out in the capital.
In just a few days, the number of people infected with the plague increased rapidly, and all the medical clinics were overcrowded and packed.
In the past few days, Qin Youran has been patrolling the city and has not returned to the Prince Qin's Mansion.
After receiving reports from neighborhood heads and village chiefs, Qin Youran arranged for personnel to count the number of sick people, especially those with serious illnesses.
There are at least a thousand people infected with the epidemic, more than a hundred of them are seriously ill, and five have died so far.
Qin Youran spread out the Tokyo feng shui map, marked out the area with the largest number of infections, summoned the village head and supervisor of the designated area, and decided to set up checkpoints and temporarily prohibit entry and exit.
The village heads and supervisors thought it was feasible, but there was a shortage of manpower.
"Your Highness Prince Qin, the areas of Chengning Street, Fuchang Street and Taipingfang are vast and densely populated, with the largest number of patients and the most serious ones. We are seriously short of staff. What should we do?" said an old village head.
Qin Youran said to Mu Qing, "Mu Qing, bring over any guards and servants from Prince Qin's mansion who are not infected with the disease and follow my instructions."
"Yes." Mu Qing bowed.
"Guan Yu," Qin Youran instructed Guan Yu, "Go find my brothers right away and see if they can deploy any personnel from their mansions."
Guan Yu disappeared in a flash.
Qin Youran pointed at a small official and said, "Go to the Tokyo government office and see if Prefect Bao can arrange for someone to come and help."
The minor official took the order and went to do it.
Qin Youran took everything into consideration. He then said, "Master Yang, spread the word that I am recruiting doctors to go into the epidemic area to treat the people. Men and women, regardless of age, will receive one tael of silver per person per day."
Yang Zhubu was deeply impressed. Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was young, he had made thoughtful and comprehensive arrangements. Entry and exit of the epidemic area was strictly prohibited, so doctors needed to enter the epidemic area to treat patients.
Yang Zhubu immediately posted a notice to recruit doctors. Half a day later, no doctor was willing to sign up.
Qin Youran held his forehead with his hand. What was the use of Yang Zhubu's notice just posting it near the City Patrol Office? He immediately sent people with gongs and notices to various neighborhoods to recruit people.
Mu Qing brought the guards and several servants from the Prince of Qin's Palace. The people that could be seconded from the various princely palaces were only a few in total. The Tokyo government office was busy filing cases and had no extra staff.
Qin Youran asked Guan Yu and Mu Qing to take people and set up sentry posts with the village heads of the epidemic area. After arranging everything, he hurried into the palace to ask to see Zhao Zixu.
This time, Zhao Zixu finally summoned Qin Youran.
Qin Youran carefully reported the outbreak of plague in the capital and presented a document detailing the measures to prevent and control the plague.
Qin Youran said, "Brother Emperor, the area infected by the disease is too large. Setting up sentinels to control the epidemic area requires a large number of personnel. The City Patrol Department is understaffed. I beg Your Majesty to send some people to me."
Zhao Zixu said, "I will send someone to assist you, King Qin. Since you discovered the plague, you will be responsible for treating it."
Qin Youran bowed, "Yes."
Zhao Zixu asked, "How did you know there was a plague in the capital?"
Qin Youran lowered his eyelids. "Your Majesty, there was an outbreak of plague in Qinzhou."
Zhao Zixu sighed silently. No wonder the King of Qin asked to see him a few days ago. It turned out that he had discovered that a plague was about to break out in the capital.
Qin Youran left the palace and returned to the City Patrol Office. Chief Clerk Yang rushed over, nearly tripping over the threshold. He straightened himself and quickly walked over to Qin Youran, panting, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, Commander Mu Qing and Steward Guan Yu have set up checkpoints in the epidemic area and are now fighting with the residents."
Qin Youran asked, "What's going on?"
Yang Zhubu said, "The people say that you set up checkpoints and prevent them from entering or leaving. Without doctors to treat them, they will be short of medicine and food."
Qin Youran said, "You didn't tell the people in the epidemic area. The City Patrol will make proper arrangements, and they won't be short of food or medicine."
"I told you," said Yang Zhubu, "but no one believed it."
"I'll go take a look."
Qin Youran jumped on his horse and quickly rushed to Taipingfang. Taipingfang was the area where the epidemic was most serious. There were as many as 600 people sick, accounting for more than half of the known population in Beijing. If it was not controlled, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness!"
"It's the King of Qin, the King of Qin is here!"
When Guan Yu and Mu Qing saw Qin Youran coming, they hurried to her side.
At the same time, the people swarmed forward and surrounded Qin Youran, denouncing his statement and opposing the blockade of Taipingfang.
Qin Youran shouted, "Everyone, be quiet! Please listen to what I have to say!"
The people quieted down for a moment. Qin Youran said, "My fellow citizens, the outbreak of an epidemic in the capital was sudden and severe. His Majesty has ordered me to be responsible for its prevention and control. The epidemic is highly contagious, just as severe as the one that struck more than a decade ago. The temporary blockade of Taipingfang and Chengning Street is to prevent the spread of the plague to other areas and to protect the people of the capital from being infected. I have arranged for doctors to enter the affected area tomorrow to treat you. I will never let you go without medicine or food. Please rest assured, my king is with you!"
"Where's the doctor? Where's the doctor?"
"My son is dying, but you won't let him in or out. Do you want him to die?"
"We want a doctor!"
"We want a doctor!"
The people urged Qin Youran again and again, but they didn't seem to believe what Qin Youran said.
"The doctor is here!"
A loud voice was heard, colliding and interweaving with the voices of the people.
"Xinglin Medical Clinic, Li Huaichun!"
"Xinglin Medical Clinic, flowers are flourishing!"
"Xinglin Medical Clinic, Li Wen!"
"Imperial Hospital, Wei Feng is here!"
"Lanling, Nanxing!"
"Jishitang, Qin Zhao!"
"Bao'an Hall, Xu Hanwen!"
"Imperial Hospital, Liu Shiba."
“…”
The people looked in the direction of the sound and saw about ten people standing not far away, both men and women, each carrying a medicine box. The people did not recognize the other people, but everyone knew these two miracle doctors: Doctor Li Huaichun from Xinglin Medical Clinic and Liu Shiba from the Imperial Hospital.
"It's Doctor Li!"
"The living Bodhisattva of Xinglin Clinic is Doctor Li, and he's here!"
"And Doctor Liu, he's here too!"
"Doctor Li, my father is sick, please go and see him."
"Doctor, my wife is also sick."
