Chapter 375 Prepare to deal with the God of Plague
In the clear sky, a crane chirped.

Mo Qingyou sat on Xiaojin's back, looking down from a high altitude.

Below is a fleeing team whose destination is Tianmen County.If it was in the past, as long as Tianmen County escaped famine and went to other places.There was never any other place to escape to Tianmen County.

There is no other, just because Tianmen County was poor and dangerous in the past.

But today is different from the past. Everyone in the northwest knows that Tianmen County is a paradise beyond the Great Wall, a place full of fertility, and a place full of hope.There is no famine, no plague, no demons.Everyone wants to escape there.

Mo Qingyou in the sky looked at the people below and sighed, and said, "The demon clan is in chaos, the plague god is in trouble, and the locust god appears. These three disasters are all combined, how will the people live their lives."

Sitting down, Xiao Jin nodded half-understanding, and said optimistically, "It doesn't matter, there is Brother Wei! He can handle it."

Hearing this, Mo Qingyou smiled slightly.Under the care of the younger brother, Tianmen County has become a paradise.He is indeed trustworthy.

Xiao Jin quickly passed the people below and flew towards the east.The farther you fly towards the Eastern Central Plains, the more serious the evil, famine, and plague will be.Many villages are already empty, and a large number of people are heading towards the state capital.

Among the crowd, warriors and practitioners can be seen everywhere. They protect the common people and attack the goblins and robbers along the way.

In this way, one person and one bird flew to Qingzhou Mansion, and then saw a large number of people also moving towards Qingzhou Mansion.

Unlike other places, everything here is more organized.

Every ten miles, there is a pavilion.There are officials stationed in the pavilion, instructing those who go to Qingzhou City what to do.

People with epidemic diseases can receive the anti-plague pill here, and first solve the problem of epidemic diseases.Then they can receive a ration here to ensure that they can walk to Qingzhou City.

All the postmen in the counties of Qingzhou Prefecture were mobilized and began to sweep away the disturbing goblins along the way.If you can't beat them, you can report them, Qingzhou City will have a special team to kill them.

By all means, the situation in Qingzhou Prefecture is naturally in order.In addition to the people of Qingzhou Prefecture, people from the surrounding Tai'an Prefecture, Terengzhou Prefecture, and Laizhou Prefecture also began to come to Qingzhou Prefecture.

The small Qingzhou, like a lighthouse in the dark, attracts a large number of people.

When Mo Qingyou arrived at Qingzhou government office, Zhang Wei was in a meeting.

In front of him is a huge map, which includes the four places of Qing, Lai, Deng and Tai.Zhang Wei pointed to Dengzhou and Laizhou and said: "We must not lose these two states. Dengzhou has coal, and Laizhou has iron. These are strategic materials and are indispensable to us. We must protect them."

Fellow Zhi Zhang Mingchen nodded, and said, "But my lord, we don't have enough manpower."

Zhang Wei said: "No, we have enough manpower! The people who have fled are our talent pool. We have to organize, whether it is farming, building or training troops, this is necessary."

Zhang Tongzhi could only nod his head in agreement.Under such disasters, he realized how big the gap between himself and Zhang Wei was.When nothing happens, everyone is an official, and you, Zhang Wei, are just one level above me.

But when something really happened, Zhang Wei showed Zhang Mingchen's unmatched skills.All his decisions are direct and effective, and all his orders are efficient and powerful.He finally understood why he, Zhang Wei, was able to come here as a third-rank official.

He is a real official!

"Zhang Tongzhi, how about our current grain reserves?" Zhang Wei interrupted Zhang Mingchen's reverie and asked directly.

Zhang Mingchen quickly cleared up his mood, and then returned: "My lord, we still have 300 million shi of various types of food. Judging from the current situation, it is no problem to support it for half a year. However, with the increase of refugees, our food pressure is getting more and more serious." Great. Is food rationing going to be enforced?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Food rations are necessary, but there must be a difference. Those who work will be given more, and others will be given less. It is still necessary to use work as relief."

Then Zhang Wei pointed to a place next to Qingzhou City and said, "Most of this area is tidal flat and saline-alkali land, which is not suitable for farming. Then build a new city. Move the workshops and steel factories here, and then arrange the people who fled here."

Building a new city is Zhang Wei's plan to use work for relief. The more it is like this, the more it is impossible to support idlers. Once people are idle, they will think, and in this chaotic situation, the things that come out of thinking are definitely not good thing!

Although it is ruthless, only those who work non-stop are the best people!
The other officials nodded. Work-for-relief is not a new thing, but if Zhang Wei builds a new city, it will be a big deal.

In fact, Zhang Wei has his own considerations.Qingzhou City is too small and dilapidated, why not build a new city and expand the city area while there are manpower and labor is cheap?
Zhang Wei's orders were issued continuously, and the officials could only keep writing down. Now they only have to obey orders.

Finally, the meeting was finally over, and the various officials left in a hurry.

Then the guard said to Zhang Wei: "My lord, there is a Miss Mo asking to see her. She came riding a crane."

Zhang Wei nodded, and when he came to the living room, he saw Mo Qingyou drinking tea, while Xiao Jin was walking up and down in front of the living room step by step, looking very classy.

As soon as he saw Zhang Wei, he rushed over, and then kissed Zhang Wei with his crane head.Zhang Wei touched his bird's head and said with a smile, "Why, can't you stay in Tianmen County?"

Xiao Jin said: "I sent Miss Qingyou here. I have a mission." Although Xiao Jin is tall and big, his heart is that of a teenager.

Zhang Wei patted him with a smile before looking at Mo Qingyou.

When he saw this, he was a little surprised and said: "Senior sister, you have been promoted to the Void Refining Realm!"

Mo Qingyou nodded and said, "I was promoted two months ago."

When Mo Qingyou came to Tianmen County, she was about to be promoted.The sect asked Zhang Wei to take good care of her.But Mo Qingyou was promoted without saying a word!

The two sat down, and Mo Qingyou said: "After being promoted, I also remembered my last life. I was also a member of the Qingwei Sect in my last life, and I had already practiced to the point of harmony. But later, when I was fighting the God of Plague, and The God of Plague died together. Although the God of Plague was scattered by me, I also died at that time. Later, the head of the school at that time found the treasure and let me be reincarnated."

The more advanced the monk, the more difficult it is to reincarnate.It's not a big problem in terms of cultivation, but basically the deaths of senior monks are violent deaths, either by being beaten to death by opponents, or by entering dangerous places.Most of these kinds of deaths are souls scattered, and they don't even have a soul, so how can they enter reincarnation.

When Mo Qingyou died in battle in her previous life, fortunately there was an expert from the Qingwei Sect at that time, who preserved her broken soul, and later used treasures to restore her soul and enter reincarnation.

And she died because of 'official affairs', so the sect is responsible for her reincarnation.Now that her cultivation has broken through refining the void, she recalls the memories of her previous life.

Then Mo Qingyou continued: "Now my memory has recovered and I know how to deal with the God of Plague, so I came to find you to deal with the God of Plague together."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Wei with piercing eyes, asking Zhang Wei to make a statement.

Zhang Wei agreed after pondering for two breaths.He said, "I am obliged to do this!"

Although there are anti-peptide pills.But this elixir is also time-effective.Because the environment is full of plagues, the elixir can only guarantee that people will not get plagues again for a period of time.When the efficacy of the medicine loses, people will still be infected by the environment.

If you want to eradicate the plague completely, you must solve the source—the God of Plague!
Hearing that Zhang Wei agreed, Mo Qingyou also smiled, and then said: "I really didn't misread you."

Then she continued: "The gods of plague can't be completely killed, they can only be suppressed or dispersed. This time, the plague is not limited to one city or one place, but the entire Dagan. I suspect that it was caused by the joint use of magical powers by the five gods of plague. "

There are five plague gods in the southeast, northwest, and middle, each with its own supernatural powers.The five gods of plague unite to create a great plague that sweeps the world.

"The most troublesome thing for the God of Plague is actually how to find them. The God of Plague can take many forms, including an old man, a child, a mouse, or a snake. And they also have plague messengers, which are very troublesome. " Mo Qingyou said.

Hearing this, Zhang Wei frowned.If this is the case, it will be too difficult to deal with.

Mo Qingyou continued: "But this is not impossible. The heaven and the earth are mutually restrained. The god of plague can change in ever-changing ways, so naturally there are things that can restrain him."

"Oh, what is it?" Zhang Wei asked curiously.

"This treasure is called the epidemic prevention needle. It is said that it was made by Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun back then. Since Taiyi rescued Ku Tianzun disappeared, this treasure has been in the hands of others. The only use of this treasure is to point out the location of the plague god, and then let everyone avoid it. Let him go."

When Zhang Wei heard this, he understood that Taiyi Rescue Ku Tianzun was also a true immortal, but he just disappeared for a long time.He asked, "Do you know where this baby is?"

Mo Qingyou nodded and said: "Of course, in the last life, this treasure fell into the hands of a goblin. That goblin is called King Donggu."

"King Donggu? Where is this goblin?" Zhang Wei asked.

"It is said to be in a cave called Gensokyo."

Zhang Wei frowned, feeling that the name was a bit wrong.

Mo Qingyou said: "I probably know where this cave is, but if we want to go in, we still need to dress up."

Zhang Wei said: "In this case, let's set off as soon as we get ready."

Right now, Qingzhou Mansion is waiting to be rebuilt, but solving the God of Plague is also a top priority.Because the God of Plague is not eradicated, it is really difficult for ordinary people to live.

After the two discussed it, Mo Qingyou left the government office and planned to look around.On the other hand, Zhang Wei continued to work. He had to explain the matter before he could set off with Mo Qingyou.

Qingzhou New City is just beside the port, and now it has become a huge construction site.A large amount of earth and rock was transported by ships and then built here.

Hundreds of thousands of people are working at the same time, and hundreds of thousands of women and children are doing what they can.Compared with the gloomy outside world, this place is simply a paradise.

Seeing this, Mo Qingyou's admiration for Zhang Wei deepened.In the sect, he is a genius for alchemy and mercury burning.On the outside, he is a genius for managing the world and helping the people.

At the construction site in Xincheng, Mo Qingyou saw Zhang Wei's wife directing everyone to work.She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't go up to greet her.She felt that those women were very hostile to her.

The four vixens looked at the graceful Mo Qingyou over there, and said in their mouths, "Why is this woman here?"

"Yeah, what is she here for?"

"..."

Fox spirits are stingy. When they were in Tianmen County, they were wary of this woman. Fortunately, this woman was also interested and did not come to harass Zhang Wei.

But now that they have all arrived in Qingzhou City, why is this woman here again?
At this time, a little girl came from the side, came to Hu Susu with a bouquet of small flowers in her hand, and shouted sweetly to her: "Mother, this flower is for you."

Hu Susu squatted down quickly, and then Xiaohua smiled and said: "This flower is so beautiful, Qiaoqiao has a heart." This little girl named Qiaoqiao was the little girl Hu Susu rescued that day.She lost her mother, but fortunately she had a father.But Hu Susu has already recognized her as a goddaughter.

Qiaoqiao's current father works on the construction site, and Qiaoqiao is taken care of by everyone in turn. After these days, she has gradually come out of the shadow of that day.

At this time, another boat came from the sea.These are a few fishing boats. Zhang Wei sent a new type of fishing boat to go fishing in the East China Sea. They were escorted by warships and used the fish to supplement food consumption.

Don't underestimate the catch of fish in the ocean. There is no dragon in the East China Sea who dares to show its teeth if there are soybeans leading a team to fish.Those fish can only be caught back by boat by boat stupidly.

The people at the port rushed to unload the cargo.Soybean flew back to Zhang Wei's side.One person and one dog communicated for a while, and then said: "I will be away for a while, and you still need to take care of it during this time."

Huangdou nodded and said, "No problem, just leave everything to me."

After talking with Huang Dou, Zhang Wei went to talk to some wives.Naturally, the wives are not good at objecting, after all, this is for the common people.But in private, they whispered: "Look, there will be no good things for that woman to come!"

Not long after, Zhang Wei set off with Mo Qingyou and headed towards Huai'an Mansion.

............................................................

The land of salt in the Huai River has been a land of rich merchants since ancient times.Merchants who have money naturally focus on pleasure, so the Huai River is also a famous place for fireworks.

But under the current situation, it is not easy here.But fortunately, Lord Huai Shui has a tough wrist, suppressing the monsters around Huai Shui to death, and the rich merchants here are rich, and most of their families have grain.In this situation, they were forced to distribute food and disaster relief, so that the chaos here did not continue.

In Huai'an City, Zhang Wei and Mo Qingyou were walking on the quiet street. Not long after, Mo Qingyou stopped outside a big house.

Zhang Wei also looked over, and there was a big "Jiangfu" plaque hanging on the door.

Mo Qingyou looked at these two words, her eyes were filled with slow memories, then she shook her head and left here with Zhang Wei.

Walking on the road, she said calmly: "This is my home in the previous life, the Huai'an Jiang family." Now things have changed, and the people inside can no longer recognize her now.

Practice is like this, although you don't need to kill your emotions, but the life span brought by successful practice can also send away old family members and friends.

Walking on the road, Mo Qingyou suddenly asked Zhang Wei: "Do you know how to play musical instruments?"

Zhang Wei was taken aback, shook his head and said, "Does whistle count? If not, I won't."

Mo Qingyou looked at him speechlessly, and said: "King Donggu likes music, painting, and opera. He doesn't like socializing, and he doesn't want to go out of the cave. Therefore, if we want to enter Gensokyo, we must do what he likes."

Hearing this, Zhang Wei finally understood where the sense of disobedience in Gensokyo came from. This person likes music, painting, and opera, but doesn’t like to go out. Isn’t he just a Two-dimensional otaku who likes to listen to songs, comics, and anime? !
Mo Qingyou took Zhang Wei into a deserted teahouse. There was no one in the teahouse. The waiter was so bored that he killed eighteen flies. While searching for new flies, he suddenly saw Zhang Wei and Mo Qingyou walking in.

His eyes lit up, and he hurried up and asked, "Are you two here for tea?"

Zhang Wei glanced at the little girl, and said with a smile, "It's really strange to ask, why don't you come here without drinking tea?"

The little boy was not annoyed when he heard this, instead he slapped himself lightly, and said: "It's my fault that I can't speak!" Then he shouted loudly: "You two, I welcome you to the private room!"

People in Huai'an Mansion like to drink tea, like to play horseshoes, and they also like to play horseshoes while drinking tea!The private room of this teahouse is not big, but there are two tables, one table is slightly smaller, and it is used to put tea sets.A slightly larger table is used for horse hanging.

The horse tags were neatly stacked on the big table. Although no one played them, they were all cleaned up.

Mo Qingyou touched the horse tag, a look of nostalgia appeared on her face.She didn't know how to hang a horse before, but after the memory awakened, she could.

The shop waiter saw Mo Qingyou like this, and smiled and said: "It seems that the guests also have itchy hands. But because of the epidemic, the magistrate does not allow people to gather together. If you dare to gather people to fight horses, you will be arrested."

After finishing speaking, he sighed and continued: "There is no one playing cards here, so who else will come to the teahouse!"

There are storytellers in teahouses in other places, but Huai'an Mansion is different. Here people are playing horses and hanging, and the sound is full of shuffling cards and talking. How dare you listen to storytelling!With this energy, why don't you touch twice more?
Seeing her appearance, Zhang Wei laughed and said, "Shopkeeper, I don't think your business is doing very well, so why not do this. Today I have reserved the venue, so you and the shopkeeper come over and play a few laps with us."

"Ah!" The waiter has never heard of this kind of service. This is a teahouse, not a special horse hanging restaurant!
But after thinking about it, what the guest said was true, anyway, no one came.So he said: "Then I will ask the shopkeeper."

"Slow down! Serve the tea and snacks." Zhang Wei said with a smile.

The waiter ran away, and Mo Qingyou blamed him, saying: "We didn't come here to play cards, but to inquire about news."

But Zhang Wei said: "It looks so deserted, if you want to ask any news, you might as well ask the waiter here. There is no question that cannot be asked at the poker table."

Mo Qingyou was taken aback for a moment, this makes sense!
Not long after, the shopkeeper hurried over.He glanced at Zhang Wei and Mo Qingyou.One of the two is handsome and graceful, and the other is beautiful and temperamental.One look and you know it's not a bad guy!He immediately said: "Close the door! Since you are private today, let's play cards with you!"

The shop waiter went to close the door, and the shopkeeper personally served tea and refreshments.Zhang Wei lavishly bid 100 taels of silver and said, "Are these enough to book the house?"

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said: "Enough! Enough!" This is the day he has earned the most since the epidemic.If he hasn't earned any money these days, he's going to pawn all his pants!

Not long after, the four of them sat down and started playing cards.Mo Qingyou didn't know how many years ago it was in her last life, and her rules couldn't keep up with the times, but the foundation was still there. With a few words from the shopkeeper, she could get started.

In her time, the horse tag was only played with nine cards, unlike now it has been extended to thirteen.

After two laps, everyone won and lost.Mo Qingyou is not familiar with the rules, so she won less.But Zhang Wei deliberately released water, so he lost a lot.

The shopkeeper and the shop waiter were so upset that they never closed their mouths in a smile.

In this way, Zhang Wei asked: "Shopkeeper, this game is monotonous, and I don't know if there is anything interesting to share."

The store owner was in high spirits, so he asked with a smile, "What do customers want to know?"

At this time, Mo Qingyou said abruptly: "For example, if there are any anecdotes about craftsmen suddenly getting rich, we just want to know."

The shopkeeper looked at her suspiciously, what did this person mean by asking?Do you still want to rob those craftsmen?
This Mo Qingyou obviously has no experience in questioning, this is too straightforward!Zhang Wei said lightly: "Don't worry, the store owner, we are just curious, ninety thousand!"

After speaking, he played a card of [-].

And the shopkeeper immediately said: "It's settled!" He was hanging [-] yuan alone!

Zhang Wei pretended to be annoyed and said: "Oh, why did you set off the cannon again!" After finishing speaking, he took out dozens of pennies and threw it out.They didn't fight much, mainly because the shopkeeper was afraid that the two would make money in a joint game, so they proposed to play very small.

After getting dozens of pennies, the store's vigilance was dropped again. What kind of bad intentions does this kind of foolish card player have!And it won't be good if he won his money again without saying something.

So he said: "There is a clay figurine Zhang in the city who picked up an ingot of gold a few days ago, and then this ingot was stolen by his wife and ran away with his concubine!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei didn't feel anything yet, but the waiter in the shop burst out laughing, and he said: "The wife of the clay figurine Zhang is as fat as a pig, if there is no that ingot of gold, who would be so stupid as to run after her?" ah!"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "That's not true. After losing his gold and wife, Clay Figurine Zhang actually borrowed money to buy a lot of clay. I'm afraid he is really stupid!"

Hearing this, Mo Qingyou finally showed a smile on her face, and she said, "Is that clay figurine Zhang very skilled?"

The waiter nodded and said, "His craftsmanship is well-known in Huai'an Prefecture, what he pinches looks like. Otherwise, why would he have the title of Clay Figurine Zhang!"

Hearing this, Mo Qingyou said meaningfully: "Then I really want to see it!"
