The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 132 Talking about business

With a look of despair on her face, the old woman looked at Maimai in front of her and said, "This is not a disease, it's a plague, a plague, do you know that people will die if they get close to us."

Judging by the woman's clothing and attire, you are definitely from the Liao Kingdom, so Yu Maimai asked, "Why did you flee here?"

"To tell you the truth, the thief of our Liao Kingdom knew that we had the plague and wanted to burn us. In order to escape for our lives, we all ran out, but we had nowhere to go, so we had to come here."

After hearing what happened to the old woman, Yu Maimai thought, in this case, many people must have flooded into the city, and soon, many people in the city will face the plague, so she hurriedly told the old woman The man said, "Do you know where the people who came with you are? Can you still find them?"

"Well, yes, we all escaped from the north side of the city together, and most of them died on the way."

Yu Maimai touched the silver on his body, he simply had some silver, he hurriedly found a few workers, and built a temporary tent in the north of the city, these tents can temporarily gather these plague-affected people Together, she can make some medicinal soup for them first to relieve their illness.

Now Yu Maimai, how can one person change the current situation, so she came to the nearest county magistrate's mansion alone, she wanted to discuss with the county magistrate, how to find a way to rescue these people first, save these people, otherwise If so, it will be too late when the plague really spreads.

When she arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, the guard at the gate simply wouldn't let her in, so Yu Maimai had no choice but to stand outside and keep beating the drums.

The drums were beating one after another, and the stimulating county magistrate was a little irritable, so he told the master: "Okay, okay, bring this woman in, I don't know, why does this woman keep beating the drums one after another?"

Yu Maimai was brought in by two yamen servants and pinned to the county magistrate's lobby.

"Master County Magistrate, do you really know nothing about the current situation in the city?"

The county magistrate sat under the high hanging mirror, glanced contemptuously at Yu Maimai who was kneeling in the hall, and snorted coldly: "I don't know what's going on, so I want you to tell me, right? What kind of onion are you?" ?”

The master laughed loudly: "Whose village woman dares to beat the drums so arrogantly, even wants to meet the county magistrate, and say such absurd things?"

"My lord, the Liao Kingdom drove out the plague patients. Those people have nowhere to go, and now they are all pouring into our city. If you don't take action and measures now, there will be a big war in our city soon." What about the plague?"

The master called out: "This crazy woman, what nonsense are you talking about? How could people from the Liao Kingdom break into our city? Are those guards vegetarian?"

The county magistrate's face changed, and he said angrily, "Shut up, tell the yamen servant to go to the city to see what's going on now?"

The area under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate happens to be the border of the Liao Kingdom. If there is a plague at this time, the country lord will blame it, and his black hat will not be able to keep it. It can be seen that the county magistrate is not a fool .

"Master County Magistrate, it's useless to go to see it now. He quickly ordered people to close the city gate, and then healed some people in the city who had been infected with the plague. Now, the common people at the common people's medical center have been asked to see a doctor and get medicine. The shopkeeper has run out of medicinal materials, so he hastened to find a way to make the medical centers in the whole city come in handy, otherwise, once the plague spreads, it will really be out of control?"

How could the county magistrate not know the stakes, but right now, who can control the plague, there is only one way, which is to drag the people who have already suffered from the plague out of the city and burn them!
"The method you mentioned is not wrong, but if you want to control the plague at the moment, there is only one way, and that is to arrest and burn those who have been infected with the plague. Otherwise, when the plague really spreads, don't blame me If the black hat is lost, the people of the whole city will also suffer.”

This method is very cruel and familiar. For Mai Mai, when the people in Mijiawan encountered the plague on the way to escape from the famine, Li Shengwang, the leader who managed them, wanted to deal with the people who could handle the plague in this way. It's not that she stopped it, it is estimated that many people would be burned to death.

This time, of course, she couldn't stand idly by. She took up the words of the county magistrate and said, "My lord, I have a solution. Now as long as I can set up a tent in the city and get the help of a doctor, I have a way to cure it." plague, and put an end to the plague.”

Of course the county magistrate didn't believe it anymore, he smiled coldly: "I said you, if you can tell me about this today, it will be considered a great achievement for you, I will reward you with some money, and you go home, this kind of thing Is it possible that women like you can intervene?"

Yu Maimai immediately hit the ground and kowtowed continuously: "My lord, the epidemic situation is very serious now. If the epidemic cannot be effectively controlled at this time, once it spreads, the people in our city will suffer. This method can indeed cure the plague. If you don’t believe it, you can give me a plague patient first, and let me diagnose and treat it first. If I can’t cure it, please punish me. The daughter of the people has nothing to say. But if I am cured, please help me, sir, and I will definitely put an end to this plague."

The master ran in in a panic, and said as soon as he entered the door: "It's not good, my lord, it is true that most people in this city have the plague, what should we do now, the gate of the city has been closed, but those people in the city who have already suffered from the plague But what should I do?"

The county magistrate was in a hurry, so he responded: "Okay, just at the gate of the mansion, heal one or two people who have already suffered from the plague. If you really make them recover, then I will listen to you, not only In this way, if this plague is over, I will definitely reward you heavily."

Rewards are not important, Yu Maimai nodded: "Okay, my lord, do you want to go out now?"

The county magistrate was afraid that he would be infected, so he wore a bamboo hat and covered his mouth and nose with a piece of gauze.

When he arrived at the door, he saw two people suffering from the plague struggling in pain. The county magistrate stood not far away, pointed to the two people in front of him and said, if you can cure them, then everything will be fine for this plague. yours!
"The county magistrate is confused. Why should he listen to a village woman when it is critical? This is related to the safety of the people in the whole city."
