Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 428 Dilemma

"Did Mr. Liu report the epidemic to the court?"

After leaving the government office, Gu Qi, He Yong, and Wang Hebin walked together.Some things are not easy to ask Liu Shouzheng in front of Liu Shouzheng in the government office, but it is not a big problem to probe He Yong and Wang Hebin's tone in private.

Wang Hebin didn't speak, but He Yong shook his head and said, "Whether it was the epidemic or not was not confirmed before, so it's not good to play rashly."

This is what it means to have nothing.

Liu Shouzheng is cautious and has a lot of worries. It is understandable that he dare not rashly make a statement on this kind of matter.

It's just that now only a few doctors brought by the world to study the prescriptions, no one can say when they will be able to research the prescriptions that are suitable for the symptoms.If this matter can get the attention of the imperial court and let the imperial court send an imperial doctor to take over, the progress will always be faster.

However, the situation of the court is unclear, and the situation of the epidemic in Yuzhong has only just begun to show signs. Before things get serious, the court may not be willing to send people down.

Even after the incident became serious, the imperial court might not necessarily want to send people down.

Of course, it also depends on the spread of the epidemic at this time. If it only spreads within the territory of Yuzhou, naturally not many people will pay attention. Generally speaking, Yuzhou has been rotten for two or three years. For the people above , even if it's bad for another year or two, it's not a big deal;
But if the epidemic spreads to other states and counties at this time, or even goes north, it will shake the foundation of the country.

No matter how uncertain the court situation was, no one dared to joke about the safety of the imperial city. After all, even if those people didn't take the old emperor's life seriously, they still had to worry about the lives of their own family.Plagues don't choose identities when they want to kill people.
-
But both Gu Qi and He Yong understood that Liu Shouzheng didn't dare to play, and it wasn't because he was completely concerned about the situation in the temple.

But once the imperial court really knows about this matter, it is one thing to send an imperial doctor. The most likely thing is to order the nearby Zhengya army to besiege the city first.

At that time, Liu Shouzheng, as the lord of a county, will first be charged with lax governance. Even if he doesn't kill him on the spot, he will have to hand over his power to govern the city.

But for the people of Lushan County, or for Gu Qi's Sihai.Although Liu Shouzheng was conservative in his work and valued his official voice, he acted upright and meticulous, impartial, ruled severely, and never exploited the people;

In addition, Liu Shouzheng also knows how to be flexible in handling some things, and he can definitely be called a very good official, and he is also a competent official.

With the current situation in Lushan County, it is definitely better to have Liu Shouzheng come to sit in the town than the suppression army to take over.

If the epidemic becomes uncontrollable, it is actually a good choice for a well-trained army to suppress it.It's just that no matter whether it is the army in the frontier or the town army staying in the hinterland of the Central Plains, they are not very obedient.

Warlords from all over the country have been supporting their own troops since before the death of the first emperor. Once Yuzhong was put in the hands of the suppression army in the name of controlling the epidemic, it became a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Regardless of whether this matter is reported to the court or not, it is actually a dilemma for Liu Shouzheng and Si Hai.

Wang Hebin was silent all the way, and suddenly said when the three of them parted: "Since there is a great possibility that this epidemic did not originate from the victims of Lushan County, then this matter will naturally be reported to the imperial court by the government of other counties."

Wang Hebin's meaning is obvious. The current situation is in a dilemma, and it is inappropriate to report it or not, but the officials of Lushan County should not be responsible for the inappropriateness this time.
