The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

After Zhao Yao came to Marsh Mansion, he sent people to clean the streets of Marsh Mansion every day, and also spread lime on every dark place where bacteria could easily grow. In Zhao Yao's dream, in that world, the things that make people sick are invisible to the human eye and are called bacteria. He also sent people to burn mugwort frequently to dispel some of the disease.

Not only that, Zhao Yao also sent people to remind people from time to time to ventilate their homes more and dry their quilts more often. The home should also be sprinkled with lime and burned mugwort from time to time. Don't drink cold water, drink boiled water. Also, wash your hands before eating and wash them cleanly. Also wash your hands after going to the toilet.

At first, the people of Marsh Mansion did not take Zhao Yao's reminder seriously, but later they learned that the reason why they often fell ill and had short lives was because they were not clean on weekdays. Since then, the people have followed Zhao Yao's instructions obediently. This spring, there have been no cases of many people getting sick in Marsh Mansion.

Every spring is a sickly season in Marsh Mansion, and even in Lingnan as a whole. In warm spring, people in Lingnan will suffer from various diseases. These diseases can range from making a person sick for many days to being fatal in severe cases. Sometimes it is so serious that people die from illness in one village or even in several villages.

Plague occurs basically every year in Lingnan, and many people die when plague occurs. One of the reasons why Lingnan has a small population is that too many people die from plague or various strange things every year.

As soon as spring arrives, the people in Lingnan are on tenterhooks for fear of another plague or strange disease. They take all precautions, but they still can't prevent getting sick.

If you can live without getting sick, people still don't want to get sick. Although living is painful, often not having enough to eat, and being forced to do heavy work, it is still better than death. If there is a way not to get sick and live well, people will naturally be willing to live.

After listening to Zhao Yao's words, the people of Marsh Mansion found that no one had a strange disease this spring, let alone a plague, which made them completely believe the words of His Highness the King of Han.

Now, Zhao Yao's words are an imperial edict to the people of Marsh Mansion, no, they are divine edicts. The imperial edict is not feasible in Lingnan. After all, the people here have never seen the emperor in their lives, not even their ancestors have seen him for generations. They don't know what the emperor is like. For them, the greatest official is the governor, but the governor is not a good person, and what they say may not be right. However, God's will is different. The people in Lingnan believe in God very much. They will be obedient and obey God's will willingly.

After Zhao Yao came to Marsh Mansion, he did many good things for the people. In the minds of the people, he was no longer a prince or prince, but a living Bodhisattva. I don’t know when, there was a rumor in Shuma Mansion that His Highness the King of Han was a god in the sky in his previous life. Because the Jade Emperor had mercy on mortals, he specially allowed His Highness the Han to be reincarnated as a human being and come to the mortal world to save people in need. I don’t know who made up the story, but made it so convincing that the people of Marsh Mansion believed it.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, reports of smallpox in the capital reached Marsh Mansion. Zhao Yao specially posted a notice to remind the people of Marsh Mansion to pay more attention to personal hygiene.

The common people were frightened when they learned that smallpox was spreading in many places in the capital and northwest, and many people died. Later, they learned that the children who had been vaccinated with cowpox did not contract smallpox. They were extremely glad that they had listened to His Highness and let their children be vaccinated with cowpox.

The guards in front of the notice told the people that although there was no plague or smallpox in Marsh Mansion, they should not take it lightly. They should still wash their hands more, ventilate more, and drink more boiled water. If you have a fever, go to the hospital for medical treatment in time. Don't hide it, and don't hold on.

After hearing this, the people nodded obediently, indicating that they would definitely do it.

The guards also warned the people that no matter what kind of meat they eat, they must cook the meat before eating it, and do not eat raw meat casually, especially things from the sea. Not all fish in the sea can be eaten alive. Many fish have small bugs on them. These small bugs are hard to see. But if eaten, these bugs will grow in the human body and will eat the internal organs of the person. It will go into people's brains, eat their brains, and turn them into fools.

The common people were frightened by the guards' words, and all of them expressed with pale faces that they no longer dared to eat raw meat or raw fish. They will definitely cook the fish and meat before eating.

The guards said some more words, and the people remembered them in their hearts.

In addition to repeatedly reminding the people of Marsh Mansion to pay attention to hygiene on weekdays, outsiders and foreigners coming to Marsh Mansion will also be scrutinized.

When outsiders and foreigners come to Marsh Mansion, they must provide proof of health diagnosed by a doctor and no strange diseases, that is, a health certificate. If someone falsifies his or her health certificate and is diagnosed with a strange disease by a doctor from Marsh Mansion, he will not only be kicked out of Marsh Mansion, but will also be fined a huge sum of money. If the situation is serious, you may be killed on the spot.

In addition to a health certificate, foreigners and foreigners coming here must provide something similar to an "ID card." In Da Zhou, it was called "passing the place". The person's date of birth, height, skin color, appearance, and the people and things traveling with him will be recorded in detail on the "passing place".

In the Zhou Dynasty, if ordinary people traveled far away, they had to "pass through" to other places. If you do not "pass through," you will be classified as leaving without authorization. At the most, you will be asked to return to your hometown directly, and at the most, you will be punished. The punishment can vary from severe to severe, ranging from a beating to being imprisoned for a period of time to being dragged into hard labor.

The officials and princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty also had "passing places", but their "passing places" were called fish symbols. The official's fish charm is a fish-shaped iron block with the official's name and official position engraved on it. The fish charms of the princes are a fish-shaped gold nugget with the names of the princes engraved on it.

Gentiles also have "passings". Many years ago, Annan, Siam and other countries surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty and became vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty formulated "passing places" and "fish talismans" for them. Without Da Zhou's "passing place" and "fish charm", they could not enter Da Zhou's territory at will.

The imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is, the Ministry of Household Affairs, would keep detailed records of foreigners who came to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Before Zhao Yao came to Marsh Mansion, he specially asked someone to copy down all the foreigners registered in the book to prevent future verification.

If a foreigner who has never been to Dazhou wants to come to Dazhou, he must first apply in his own country. After your home country's application is approved, officials from your home country will make a process similar to that of Da Zhou, and then submit it to Da Zhou. After the official review of Dazhou, they will stamp the document submitted in your home country and then issue you a formal document from Dazhou. Of course, all the contents of this Dazhou document are written in Dazhou characters, and will be stamped and signed by the reviewing official. When you come to Dazhou, you must not only show the official Dazhou residence, but also the residence established by your home country. In other words, you have to bring two copies with you.

When you arrive in Dazhou, the first thing you have to do is to register your information with the local government office. The local government office will record all your information in detail, such as your date of birth, height, facial features and skin color, which are just basic information. You should also record where your family lives, how many people are in your family, what your family does, etc. All in all, the records are very detailed. If you are found to have lied, you will be kicked out of Dazhou immediately and will not be allowed to enter Dazhou for three years.

In the past, when you came to Da Zhou, these matters had to be reported to the court in the capital, but now you can just submit them directly to the court in Marsh Mansion, which will not only save a lot of trouble, but also save a lot of time.

The court in Marsh Mansion is somewhat different from the court in the capital. After all applications are approved, the Yamen of Marsh Mansion will issue you an ID card and a transit book. This ID card will record your name, gender, date of birth and your address in your home country. The transit book will record where you have been in Lingnan, what you have done, etc. Everywhere you go in Lingnan, you have to go to the local government office to register. After verification, the local government office will stamp it for you.

After you arrive in Lingnan, you can carry your ID card and transit book with you and you can walk around Lingnan smoothly.

Having said that, when foreigners arrive at the pier of Marsh Mansion, in addition to checking the entry certificate they carry with them, they also need to check the items they carry with them. Not everything can be brought into the Swamp Mansion, such as some unknown objects and some weapons. You can bring weapons into Lingnan, but the number of weapons is limited. Unknown objects include things that have never been seen before, things that are not registered, harmful things, etc. If you are found smuggling, you will face a huge fine and be imprisoned in the yamen of Marsh Mansion. If the amount smuggled is too large, they may be beheaded.

These days, the busiest officials are the customs officials under the Ministry of Revenue. They have to check every foreigner who comes to Marsh Mansion to make sure they make no mistakes before allowing them to enter Marsh Mansion.

Previously, someone in the entourage of a foreign businessman had a fever and felt uncomfortable. After being discovered, he was turned away and the foreign businessman was given a warning.

It is precisely because of the strict inspection of Marsh Mansion that the safety of the people of Marsh Mansion can be ensured.

Zhao Yao wanted to build the Marsh Mansion into the largest trading state capital in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he would not sacrifice the people of the Marsh Mansion for this.

After seeing the harshness of the Marsh Mansion, neither foreigners nor outsiders dared to make any mistakes.

A few days ago, some foreigners and outsiders got together to fight in Marsh Mansion. They were all arrested and beaten in public at the gate of the government office. After being beaten, he was put into prison again. Currently, they are still in jail. After others saw what happened to these people, they did not dare to cause trouble in the Marsh Mansion.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the Marsh Mansion conducts more rigorous inspections to ensure that nothing happens on the Dragon Boat Festival.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, it was very lively and festive early in the morning.

Free rice dumplings are distributed at the entrances of major government offices in Shuma Prefecture. Anyone, whether local, foreigner or foreigner, can receive a rice dumpling.

There are many kinds of rice dumplings; there are white rice dumplings without anything, candied date rice dumplings, red bean rice dumplings, meat rice dumplings, etc. In short, there are various flavors of rice dumplings from all over the Zhou Dynasty. Some rice dumplings also contain a copper coin, which means you will have good luck if you eat it.

Early in the morning, local people lined up to receive rice dumplings.

Foreigners and foreigners originally didn't bother to receive rice dumplings because they felt it was a loss of status. Later, I heard that there are copper coins in the rice dumplings. If you eat them, you will have good luck and your business will be very smooth.

The locals are very obsessed with good luck, and they enthusiastically persuade outsiders and foreigners to get the rice dumplings distributed by the yamen.

Outsiders and foreigners come to Marsh Mansion just to do business and want to get a good fortune, so they line up with the locals to receive rice dumplings.

After receiving the rice dumplings, everyone tore them open and ate them on the spot. The person who gets the copper coin will shout happily, and the people on the side will congratulate him one after another.

Zhao Yao got up, dressed in ordinary clothes, and lined up with the people to receive rice dumplings to see if he could eat rice dumplings wrapped with copper coins.
