Chapter 474 After a great disaster, there will be a great epidemic
Things like floods either don't happen at all, but once they do, they won't happen overnight. Xuanyuan Ling actually had a premonition about the continuous rain this year, and had his subordinates start taking precautions long ago. However, if a natural disaster is to occur, prevention alone is not enough.
These past few days, Xuanyuan Ling was so busy that he didn't return to Zhaohua Palace until late at night. He discussed matters with ministers every now and then, and there were many reports from below. Sometimes Zhao Hai couldn't persuade Xuanyuan Ling to rest, and he was worried that Xuanyuan Ling's overwork would be harmful to his health. At this time, Chen Qing came.
It was already late when Shen Qing came in a sedan chair. Zhao Hai saw that Shen Qing had asked Wang Lu to bring the food box: "The servant will go in and report it now."
Shen Qing looked at the rain that kept falling and frowned.
At this time, it was not Zhao Hai who came to report that it was okay to go in, but Xuanyuan Ling who came out.
Xuanyuan Ling went to hold her hand: "It's raining, why don't you just stay in Zhaohua Palace."
Such rainy days are humid and hot, and it would be really uncomfortable if you get sick.
Chen Qing said: "Send some food to the emperor, so that he won't be busy too late and won't have time for midnight snacks. He will go to bed hungry and his stomach will be bad in a few days."
Xuanyuan Ling asked her to say something, so she held back everything and could only pull her in. Shen Qing asked, "Are there still many things to do?"
"There are many disasters in various places, and the court is not stable." Xuanyuan Ling did not avoid Shen Qing: "The flood will eventually pass, but we must always be prepared for epidemics."
As the saying goes, after a great disaster there will be a great epidemic. Didn't Jinzhou have an epidemic after the flood? The disaster has caused the displacement of people, which is cruel enough. The most feared thing is that there will be another epidemic. But sometimes it is difficult to avoid, especially when the weather is bad.
People died in disasters in the summer, and sometimes people or animals were soaked in water. On the one hand, there was no food on hand, and what if they ate drowned animals or something, and if they were not so careful about drinking the water, it was really unavoidable. Xuanyuan Ling had already ordered people to pay attention. While carrying out disaster relief, they must also ensure that the people had food to eat and did not let them be displaced. Also, they could not drink raw water. Medicinal materials and the like had also been prepared, just as a precaution. There were many things to do and many rules to follow, and they were even more afraid of emergencies, so soldiers were still being mobilized in the capital.
Xuanyuan Ling sat down and Shen Qing asked Wang Lu to put the food down so that Xuanyuan Ling could eat first.
Xuanyuan Ling didn’t feel it when he was busy, but seeing Chen Qing asking him to eat, he seemed to be a little hungry.
Shen Qing sat beside him and watched him eat.
Whenever something like this happens, he is always very busy. Ordinary people have to take care of a family, and their aunts and uncles have things to deal with from time to time. But he is in charge of the entire country, so when something like this happens, he really has no time to spare.
"Speaking of which, many places were hit by disasters this time, but Jinzhou was relatively unscathed. Although it rained heavily, there were no disasters in Jinzhou. I have read the reports. In the past two years, Shen Zhizhuo has done a great job in rebuilding various places in Jinzhou and digging channels to dredge water conservancy. This time, I have also summoned him back to the capital, and he will surely be back in a few days."
Xuanyuan Ling was still happy when he talked about this: "In addition to water conservancy, he has done a lot of things in Jinzhou in the past two years, and he is very popular with the people. Of course, just based on the fact that Jinzhou, which had the most disasters in previous years, was safe this time, I should promote him."
Shen Qing curled his lips: "Being able to do things for the people, he must be happy in his heart. It is better to ask him to do things than to let him deal with those personal relationships."
Xuanyuan Ling said, "I think he has become more restrained and tactful since he blew up the dam. Now he has children, so he is naturally more sensible than before."
The Shen family had previously spread the news that Xu had given birth to a son, but after all, she was in Jinzhou, and Shen Qing had not seen the child yet.
But I guess I won't be able to see her this time. There's a disaster in the capital now. Since the situation in Jinzhou is still okay, it's naturally safer now. Xu is with the child, so there's no need for her to come back. And after all, it's been raining heavily, and it's not convenient or safe for a woman to return with a child on the road.
The two chatted for a while and it was raining heavily outside. Xuanyuan Ling didn't want Chen Qing to stay in Qianyuan Palace. After all, he hadn't slept yet. If he didn't go to Zhaohua Palace these days, he would sleep late, lest he would wake her up again when he went back. But since she was here, Zhaohua Palace was far away, and it was raining heavily now, she simply asked Chen Qing to rest in Qianyuan Palace.
Shen Qing originally came to deliver food, but it turned out that he was fine and didn’t go back.
Xuanyuan Ling was still worried about something and couldn't sleep. After asking Chen Qing to rest, he was busy for a while. After Zhao Hai came to report the time, he finally decided to go to bed. He still had to discuss with the ministers tomorrow, so he couldn't be exhausted. When he arrived at Qianyuan Palace, Shen Qing had already slept for a while. He hadn't slept with Shen Qing for a few days. Seeing that she was asleep, he tiptoed over and held her to sleep.
Xuanyuan Ling also got up early the next day, and before leaving, he told Chen Qing not to wake him up.
However, Chen Qing woke up not long after Xuanyuan Ling left. Naturally, someone helped her to get up. When Chen Qing got up, she heard the sound of rain falling outside.
This rain seems to have no end, and it makes people feel upset.
Xuanyuan Ling was busy for several days, but an unfortunate thing still happened. Despite all the precautions, he was not so lucky this time and an epidemic really broke out.
