The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 259
Li Yin went to Anlefang, and at this time the whole Anlefang was surrounded.The army has taken control of this place.No one can go in and out at will except them.

No one can go out from here, and no one dares to come in.

As he was walking, he saw a beautiful figure appearing in front of him.

It was Ji Ruxue. At this time, she was wearing a mask. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, her temperament was enhanced by the mask.

As soon as she saw Li Yin appear.

Just trot over.

The soldiers on the side stared blankly.

After all, what is in front of her is a well-known beauty in Chang'an City.

Everyone is envious of Li Yin's good fortune.

When Ji Ruxue arrives.

He said, "Mr. Zili!"

"Well! Now His Majesty has released 80 taels, and I want you to supervise and make [-] masks in two days!"

Making [-] masks in two days was not a difficult task for the group, but the situation is different now. The manpower has been transferred to other places, and there are not many people dispatched by Ji Ruxue.

"But we don't have enough manpower!"

About this, Li Yin also knew.

He thought of the Cui family, now is their time to behave.

"You can let people from the Cui family join in and let them do it together!"

"Understood! In this case, it's okay!"

"Also, I want you to vaccinate everyone with the vaccine in my laboratory!"

Li Min said.

"But the one you vaccinated before?"

"That's right, after my experiments, the method works!"

"You are so adventurous! Why not let someone else try first?"

"I will only do what I am sure of, so don't worry about this! You must vaccinate everyone! But if you have had smallpox, you can avoid vaccination. It may be a little uncomfortable at first, but after a few days It will recover. Small reactions can be endured, if not, there is a medicine made by me in my laboratory, and there is a corresponding one on it, which can prescribe the right medicine!"

Li Yin thought a lot, and thought out all the possibilities.

"understand!"

"Okay, you can go back!"

"Then you must be careful!"

"Go!"

Li Yin turned his head directly and threw himself into the fight against the epidemic.

Only then did Ji Ruxue reluctantly leave Anlefang.

Under the leadership of Li Yin, the condition in Anlefang gradually turned from danger to safety.

But other places in Chang'an City are not good.

From time to time, a case will appear, and once there is a case, one place will be blocked.The army was short of manpower at the beginning, but thanks to the volunteers of the people to join in and resist together, it eased a bit.

……

At this time in the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was listening to the report on the smallpox epidemic.

He was first shocked, then relieved.

And then wonder again.

The mood is very weird.

"What did you say? Smallpox also appeared in five workshops in Chang'an?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, but luckily the sixth prince made preparations in advance and sealed off the place where smallpox was found! He also distributed something called a mask, which he said could prevent smallpox from invading. There are fewer and fewer people!"

"Mask? What is it? It will be so magical!"

Li Shimin said in wonder.

Then someone took out one.

He also made a gesture and said that as long as you protect your mouth and nose, you will not get sick!
Li Shimin felt novelty.

Why is this Li Yin's head so easy to use?

He is thinking!
Empress Changsun on one side said:
"My concubine said that he can do it! What he has done is really surprising. It is a great fortune for the Tang Dynasty to have him. Maybe he was sent by the heavens to assist His Majesty in ruling the world!"

Li Shimin was silent.

Maybe he was thinking about what Empress Changsun said.

"There are two more things!"

The eunuch said half of what he said, but he didn't say it.

"What's the matter, tell me quickly, are you going to die in a hurry?"

"The sixth prince spent tens of thousands of taels to buy a batch of sick cows. The elder Sun Shunde questioned this, and he slapped him three times!"

"This kid, why did you buy this sick cow? And beat the eldest grandson Shunde? Why? This is power, and he still hasn't changed!"

Li Shimin was puzzled.

Empress Changsun said: "Maybe it's also because of the smallpox cure?"

"What does a sick cow have to do with smallpox?"

Li Shimin asked back.Next, his focus was not on the beating of the eldest grandson Shunde, but on the sick cow.

After all, where the money is spent.

How could Empress Changsun know this!
"This, I don't know, but he will do this, there must be a reason for him to exist!"

"Forget it, three days have passed in the past ten days, and he still has seven days left. Although the number of smallpox cases has decreased, he has not completely eradicated smallpox. I am still a little worried! After all, there was no medicine to treat this disease before. of!"

It would be a lie to say that he is not worried. Regarding smallpox, Li Shimin is very cautious. If it were not for Sun Simiao's insistence, he might not reuse Li Yin. Now it is tantamount to betting everything on Li Yin.

Want to succeed, but afraid of failing too badly.

Li Shimin felt very contradictory.

"Your Majesty, everything is going well. Even if it is not eliminated, it will take a month and a half. As long as the disease can be controlled, the people will survive. Isn't that a good thing?"

"right!"

Li Shimin sighed.

Then I thought of something else.

"You said there was another thing?"

he asks.

At this time, the eunuch said: "The Ministry of Household said that the production of masks will be increased recently, and for the supply of some raw materials, the aristocratic families have raised the price uniformly, which has made our cost extremely high. If we continue like this, 80 taels I'm afraid it will be consumed soon! And they have raised the price of food!"

Regarding this matter, it was because the aristocratic family was profitable, and it was a little bit of money.

This made Li Shimin very angry.

Some time ago, the inscription was erected to let the aristocratic family know about the epidemic, and they also contributed money. In general, the treasury earned several 10 taels.

But the money doesn't mean they can do whatever they want.

It doesn't mean that Li Shimin won't take them under the knife.

Especially when the epidemic is serious, they dare to do this, it is simply courting death!
"These businessmen have done evil, which makes me very sad. Now is the time when everyone is united. I have to punish them severely for this kind of behavior!"

Li Shimin showed his anger.

Then he ordered: "Investigate! Find out to the end, and let those who drive up prices be punished! Those who are particularly serious will be chopped off!"

He was ruthless, these aristocratic families really don't care.

Why not learn from Shengtang Group?
Together with the Cui family, they produced a large number of masks.

It is provided free of charge to the people of the entire Tang Dynasty.

But on the other side are these greedy businessmen, they are mercenary, and they do some of these things.

Li Shimin's order was issued directly, and soon someone was punished.

All the way to Anlefang.

Li Yin laughed out loud after hearing this.
