Chapter 220 Rescuing hundreds of thousands of people
Uh, it seems a bit like taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
Forget it, let's listen to the prince. Fighting the epidemic is also a big war.
After Guan Jinsong took over the military, he sent the extra soldiers to various places to help boil medicine and collect dead bodies for burning.
Not only in the city, but also in the villages and towns. Before the outbreak of the epidemic, the two prefectures had almost 200,000 people.
Of course, many escaped.
But there are at least 150,000 to 160,000 people left.
This is not a small number.
Feng Yuanhan has been transporting medicinal materials everywhere these days, but he can't catch up at all.
Fortunately, after Yun Ranzheng made the decision to save Shuigan City and Qingshui City, he immediately submitted a memorial to the capital.
When Yun Hongxiao received the urgent report from 800 miles away, he laughed out loud.
"Haha..., the prince is great. He is a good king. He knows how to seize the opportunity at the critical moment. Someone, go and call the Minister of Finance Qin Pengcheng to me." Yun Hongxiao was happier than ever before.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yuan immediately sent Eunuch Ren to convey the order.
"Your Majesty, is there any good news? Let me be happy too." Eunuch Yuan saw that the emperor was very happy.
"The epidemic in Shuilong Kingdom is more serious. It has developed to the point where it has abandoned two cities and planned to burn them. The prince acted decisively and advanced into Shuilong Kingdom to treat the people and easily captured two cities." "
Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations to my Yanyan Kingdom for gaining two cities." Eunuch Yuan immediately flattered him, but he was also happy from the bottom of his heart.
Qin Pengcheng quickly came to Yu's study. He had heard from eunuch Ren that the emperor had received an urgent report from the epidemic area within 800 miles, so he hurried over.
The entire capital was always paying attention to the progress of Ganyang City's anti-epidemic efforts.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was always on edge, fearing that some uncontrollable accidents would occur.
Fortunately, it has always been good news.
But today it was an urgent report within 800 miles, and he was still shocked.
"Minister, I pay my respects to the emperor." Qin Pengcheng saluted respectfully.
"My dear Qin, good things, good things." Yun Hongxiao saw him trotting when he came in, and knew that he might have thought too much, so he comforted his beloved minister.
Qin Pengcheng was relieved when he heard it.
Then he took the report and read it.
"Great joy, Your Majesty."
"Well, but the demand for medicine is huge. I asked you to arrange to continue to purchase medicine from various places, otherwise the treatment will be interrupted."
"Your Majesty, but the silver in the treasury is limited. What should we do? We have already spent nearly a million taels of silver." Qin Pengcheng was also worried.
Isn't it that money is available as much as you want!
Ugh!
I was too happy and almost ignored the reality.
Yun Hongxiao stroked his mustache and walked back and forth, thinking of a solution.
Money, money, money... "Your Majesty, we
can raise funds." Eunuch Yuan reminded, "I have received a lot of rewards, and I am willing to take out 500 taels of silver to buy medicine for the people in the disaster area." "You old man, not bad, great righteousness, I accept it. Qin Aiqing, just do as Eunuch Yuan said, and announce it in the morning court tomorrow. I will issue an edict to the whole country, asking merchants to raise funds. For those who donate more than 100,000 taels, I will issue a plaque of righteous merchants, and their taxes will be reduced by 10% in the next three years. If the donations are still not enough, I will borrow from each family, and the taxes of the two cities will be used to repay the debts in the future." Yun Hongxiao was full of pride at this moment. The problem was solved. I didn't expect that once the emperor's edict came out, merchants from all over the country were really active. In just half a month, 1.5 million taels of silver were raised. The rescue work in the two cities is still in progress. Feng Tianxing is always paying attention to the spiritual fluid in her space. It has been consumed a lot recently. [Baby, you must hold on. Wait until this epidemic is over before you can rest.] Feng Tianxing loves Lingkuang Mountain very much now. The control of the epidemic depends entirely on it. Feng Tianxing and Yun Ranqing only played in Linyuan County for three days before moving to Shuigan City. The temple that Yun Ranqing mentioned is actually not fun at all. It is not popular. After experiencing the epidemic, no one has the heart to burn incense and worship Buddha. Of course, the doctors are the ones who can really cure diseases and save lives. How can praying to gods and Buddhas work? Feng Tianxing and Yun Ranqing toured Shuigan City and were relieved to see that the epidemic was being treated in an orderly manner. Medicines are being boiled everywhere in the city, including the towns they passed by when they came. First keep the person alive, then treat him with medicine. They have been doing this all the time. When Feng Tianxing saw Zhou Ankang again, she was shocked: "Uncle Zhou, how many days have you not rested?" Zhou Ankang's clothes were wrinkled like rags, and he had not changed them for many days. His beard was almost an inch long, and it was messy. Feng Tianxing remembered that he did not have a beard. "Hey, Miss, there are too many patients. We can only sleep for two hours a day. We doctors are doing our best and only take a nap when we can't stand it anymore. The number of patients here is at least three times more than that in Ganyang City." "Do you diagnose one by one?" Feng Tianxing asked. "Yes, if you don't diagnose one by one, how can you diagnose?" Zhou Ankang didn't quite understand what the lady meant. "Uncle Zhou, it's the same disease, so you can classify people according to the severity and urgency, put the same severity together, and use the same prescription. You just need to write down the symptoms, post them in a public place, and have someone read them to the patients, so that they can determine their own category, find the right place, and get the medicine. Wouldn't it be much faster this way?" Feng Tianxing suggested. " Yes. Thank you, Miss, for your reminder." Zhou Ankang suddenly realized something and bowed deeply to Feng Tianxing. With Feng Tianxing's suggestion. The imperial doctors immediately started to implement this method, and it really was much faster. Feng Tianxing saw that the imperial doctors were all exhausted and mentally haggard. He took out a bottle of Huiyuan Dan and asked each of them to take one. After taking it, everyone's fatigue immediately disappeared and they were full of energy again. The rescue work was carried out in an orderly manner.
In addition to checking the treatment reports from various places every day, Yun Ranzheng also had to arrange how to take over the government affairs of the two cities.
The prefect of Qingshui City had died of illness.
Yun Ranzheng took over the original officials of the two cities who were still alive and willing to surrender, and they could still keep their original positions. For those who were unwilling to surrender, he let them go.
This approach was more popular.
Yun Hongxiao quickly sent a prefect to take over the job.
Twenty days later.
The people infected with the disease had basically been cured.
Then count the population losses this time.
Fifteen thousand people died in Qingshui City.
Eighteen thousand people died in Shuigan City.
Seeing this number, Yun Ranzheng felt bitter in his heart. Fortunately, he came, and fortunately there was Sister Feng's magic medicine, otherwise the lives of hundreds of thousands of people would return to dust.
But people only remember the good things that Yun Ranzheng did, but they don't know that the hero behind the scenes is Feng Tianxing and the fourth emperor.
When Feng Tianxing got this data, she sighed in her heart.
But it was much better than the result in the previous life, where hundreds of thousands of people died.
She did a great thing.
But her crow mouth also worked.
"Woo woo..."
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Yun Ranqing was startled and asked anxiously.
The two were eating in a small shop that had just opened, and Feng Tianxing suddenly burst into tears.
The two children didn't have to do anything during the entire anti-epidemic process. Yun Ranqing was only responsible for taking good care of Feng Tianxing.
And Feng Tianxing was responsible for providing spiritual fluid.
So when they were free, they would eat and drink everywhere.
