It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 668 Isolation by Area

With a "bang", everyone walked out of the city gate and stood in a temporary tent outside the city. The county magistrate wiped the cold sweat from his head and said to Meng Mingzhou beside him.

"Deputy Commander Meng, you, you were too impulsive just now..."

"Do you know how dangerous it was to jump from the tower just now?"

Meng Mingzhou didn't hear the county magistrate's nagging, but was frowning and thinking about something.

At this time, King Jing had already bandaged the wound on his forehead, and commanded his subordinates, "Go, notify all the officials who came to relieve the disaster this time to come and discuss matters."

After speaking, he looked at Meng Mingzhou again, "Mingzhou, sit next to me and listen to their opinions carefully."

Meng Mingzhou came to his senses, cupped his fists and said, "Yes."

Sitting opposite Meng Mingzhou, Mr. Wu, the right servant of the household department, looked at Meng Mingxu and thought, this deputy commander Meng is really good. No wonder my little girl likes his family members so much. The family members are so good, and the female family members are not good at all. don't know where to go...

I really hope that Deputy Commander Meng can find a better way...

After hearing the thoughts of the officials, King Jing frowned and slapped it on the table, saying in a very bad tone, "I've seen blood today, if you don't make a correct response, wait until the conflict breaks out again. Are you going to kill them all?"

"Is that still disaster relief? That's a massacre of the city. What are the officials concerned about?"

The cold sweat dripped from the official's forehead, carefully wiped it off, and said in a low voice, "Of course we can't deal with it like this, but the prince still has a countermeasure?"

King Jing was so angry that his face was livid, "If this king can do anything, what use are you for?"

Meng Mingzhou listened to their quarrel for a long while before slowly opening his mouth, "My lord, I have a proposal at the end."

King Jing's tone softened a little, "Mingzhou, you say it."

Meng Mingzhou glanced at all the officials present, and then slowly said, "Now those who have the epidemic and those who have not are living together, that is to say, there are patients living in the east, west, north, south cities. will be infected..."

"If we set up a transition area, for example, from the east district to the west district, we will be quarantined here for three days, then from the west district to the north district, and then we will be quarantined for another three days, and finally we will continue to quarantine for three days in the south city. If there is no infection, then you can let him out of the city... This will not only reduce the infection of patients, but also keep the people who are not infected healthy..."

Master Wu nodded slightly when he heard the words, but he still retorted, "But even so, it still can't dissuade the patients in the west city from wanting to leave the city..."

Meng Mingzhou wondered, "Why do you want to dispel their thoughts? Blocking is worse than sparse, why don't you give the people a hope of survival?"

"There is hope in life."

"And I found that the incubation period of this epidemic is only about three or four days at most. The isolation of each district, in short, is to give them hope of survival, isn't it?"

King Jing nodded slightly when he heard the words, "Mingzhou is right."

After a pause, he continued, "However, there are still more than 4 people in Qianyang County. How should we divide them?"

Meng Mingzhou thought for a while and said, "The east area must have been confirmed to have the disease, the west area has close contacts, the north area has semi-close contacts, and the south area has no contact. Well, we can also The first batch of 300 people will be released first, so that the isolated people can see hope more intuitively."

"Of course, the hundreds of people released can't just run around at will, but set up camp outside the city temporarily, so as to appease the people more intuitively."

Master Wu said, "Even if there are more than 1 people who have never been in contact with patients, how do you select 1 people from these 300 people?"

"Only two or three people are selected from the top [-] schools. This scene may be even more chaotic than today."

King Jing also took time to look at Meng Mingzhou. He also wanted to know how Meng Mingzhou could safely select 300 people.

Meng Mingzhou thought of his brothers and sisters at home, they sometimes like to draw lots when things cannot be decided, so he curled his lips and said, "People will not be convinced by artificial choices, so let's draw lots to decide!"

Everyone was shocked, "What? Draw lots!"

The corner of King Jing's mouth twitched when he heard the words, but he couldn't help praising that this solution is indeed the best solution now, "The drawing of lots is indeed relatively fairer..."

Seeing that King Jing agreed, everyone fell silent, and Master Wu asked again, "Master Meng, how should we draw the lottery?"

Meng Mingzhou raised his eyebrows, "Master Wu, the last general is just a general, you can't let me, a warrior, think about everything, can you?"

After finishing speaking, he stood up and clasped his fists at King Jing, "His Royal Highness, I will go and see the children brought out..."

King Jing glanced at the bewildered officials and waved his hands, "Go."

All the officials, "..."

At noon, King Jing came to the city again with all the officials, and announced the solution to the people.

"The above is the best way at present. If you are still not satisfied, then we will discuss again..."

"willing··"

After a moment of silence, the people shouted in unison, "We are willing..."

King Jing nodded in satisfaction, and said in his heart that it was finally settled...
Meng Zong nestled in Su Rui's arms, looked at the boy sitting on the small chair next to his mother, his big eyes were full of doubts, "Mother, who is he?"

Ever since Meng Tao and Meng Zhongshan came back from the northwest region, they have tirelessly taught Meng Zong'an how to speak every day, so that Meng Zong'an, who could only speak two or three words at a time, now speaks more eloquently than five or six-year-olds, but better than his peers. Your child is quite powerful, especially when he speaks clearly...
Hearing this, the mute boy just raised his head and glanced at Meng Zongan, then continued to lower his head.

Su Rui kissed Meng Zongan's forehead, put him on the ground, and said softly, "Mother doesn't know, Zong An asks himself, okay?"

Meng Zong'an stood opposite the boy, thought for a moment, then took his hand, and said in a childish voice, "My name is Zong'an, what's your name?"

The little boy didn't withdraw his hand, but just stared at Meng Zong'an silently. After a while, he raised his head to look at Su Rui, and opened his mouth without making a sound.

Su Rui smiled faintly, "What's your name? Can you write?"

I have raised their sisters for two or three days, but because the little girl is still in a coma, I don't know their names.

The little boy nodded slightly.

Su Rui was stunned when she heard the words, thinking she could write?Few of the average peasant households are willing to send their children to private schools.

"Xi'er, go get a pen and paper."

Xi'er glanced at the boy, then slightly bent her knees, "Yes, servant girl will go right away."
