"Sir, are you going to do the same as the county magistrate did fifteen years ago and abandon us plague victims? Are you going to burn us all to death?"
"I don't want to die. My grandchild is still young, and my son and daughter-in-law are gone. What will happen to them if I die? I can't die, I can't die... cough cough cough..."
Before he could finish his words, he started coughing uncontrollably.
There was a little boy about three or four years old next to her, and he was holding the old woman tightly.
"Grandma, you won't die. You just caught a cold. Let's take some medicine. Wait, I'll go get you some medicine..."
After saying that, the little body staggered to its feet.
But the man had just stood up and fell to the ground before he took a few steps.
Seeing this, some villagers couldn't help themselves and stepped forward to pick up the little boy...
"Stand back, no one can touch him!" Zhang Feimo shouted sternly.
Then he gave an order to the yamen runners: "Everyone listen up, you are not allowed to enter or leave these temples. Anyone who disobeys the order will be treated as treason and will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, sir!"
"There are also people who are coughing and have fever. After half a day, all of them will be separated and isolated. Those who are not infected will be placed on the other side and are not allowed to come into contact with each other."
After saying this, Zhang Feimo left in a hurry.
The situation here is far more serious than he imagined, and he must stop it immediately.
After returning to the government office, Zhang Feimo immediately summoned Hu Yuhao, Ji Xiangfeng, and Qiao Jingfu.
And the Dong family...
Even Chi Feixuan came back with him.
At this time, only the refugees in the three ruined temples were infected.
There hasn't been any untoward news from the good people yet.
He didn't know whether he had been infected or not, but today a group of refugees had gone out to open up wasteland.
Given this situation, it is difficult to guess what will happen next.
It would have been fine if they had not contacted those villagers. But if they had, the consequences would have been disastrous.
These refugees have been living here for several days, and some of them may have been infected with the plague for two or three days.
It just didn't break out; it was suppressed by the body.
Once infected, the plague will slowly develop...
And all the refugees in this temple...
Thinking of this, Zhang Feimo immediately said to Ji Xiangfeng:
"Quickly, quickly call back those refugees who have gone to open up wasteland, and find another place to settle them."
"Yes, sir." Ji Xiangfeng said respectfully.
Then, he quickly walked outside.
The situation had come to this point, and he was very clear that as long as it was related to the plague, there could be no delay.
Whatever the decision is, it must be resolved as soon as possible.
After Ji Xiangfeng went out, Zhang Feimo quickly formulated a strategy to prevent the plague, writing down everything clearly, no matter how big or small.
Including all of Zhang Feimo’s instructions just now, they were all written in it.
If this strategy is to be implemented, it cannot be done by him alone, and it requires the cooperation of all the people in Heshan County.
All people, including refugees, have the right to know this.
He didn't intend to hide it from them. Hiding it from them would only make them even more violent and think that this was just a farce.
"County Magistrate Hu, draft a notice to inform all villagers in Heshan County to cancel all festivals and temple fairs during this period, including visits and gatherings between the people. Those who violate the rules will be punished with ten strokes of the cane."
"Yes, sir!" Hu Yuhao immediately took out the pen and ink from under the desk and began to draft the notice.
After thinking about it, he rushed out with the notice.
After Hu Yuhao left, Zhang Feimo turned his attention to Dong Sujia.
