Chapter 188 Disaster
"We'll discuss this matter later!"

"But..." The leader of the small tribe was a little unwilling.

Basset slammed the handle of the chair and glanced at them coldly, "I said, this matter will be discussed later!"

Seeing that he was about to get angry, the leaders of the small tribe looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes!"

Minasan took half a step forward and said, "Chief, the current plan is to..."

"Minasan, don't speak for now, let me think of a countermeasure!" Basai closed his eyes and said tiredly.

Minasan is the elder, the one who valued the most wisdom when Basel's father was the leader, and the elder who watched him grow up, so he cannot lose his temper with him.

Seeing him like this, Minasan sighed, but still said nothing.

The leaders below looked at each other.

"I suddenly remembered that the tribe still has something important to discuss with me!" A slightly older tribe leader stood up and suddenly said, "It's getting late now, so I'll take my leave first. Please forgive me!" After finishing, he clenched his fists, turned around and left the tent.

Seeing this, another small leader also stood up and said, "Forgive me, leader, my tribe has something to do, please leave first!"

……

Soon, only Basai and Minasan were left in the crowded tent.

Looking at the empty tent and the mess on the ground, Basai's face was livid, and he threw the wine bottle in his hand directly.

The wine bottle rolled down onto the open ground, and the wine inside spilled out, soaking the wolf skin on the ground.

"Trash, trash, they are all a bunch of losers!" Basai yelled, "I have been supporting them in vain!"

"It's all trash!"

……

morning meeting.

Zhao Yunqi glanced around and looked at the ministers kneeling neatly on the ground below. He smiled and said loudly, "Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" All the courtiers leaned over and said in unison.

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and stood up. He didn't forget to straighten his clothes while standing up. Then he held the wat board and stood at attention.

Looking at the ministers who were already standing in silence, Zhao Yunqi gestured to the little eunuch on the side.

The little eunuch understood, took a step forward, glanced around, waved the fly whisk in his hand, and said in a sharp voice, "If you have something to do, leave the court, if nothing happens -"

"I have something to report!" Prime Minister Cen, standing in front of the courtiers, held a wat tablet.

Seeing that it was Prime Minister Cen, Zhao Yunqi's eyes brightened slightly, he raised his hand and said calmly, "Xuan!"

Prime Minister Cen lowered his head, looked at the bottom of the nine steps, and said with a serious face, "What I want to report today is the issue of the refugees in Saibei!"

"Oh!" Zhao Yunqi put his hands on his knees and raised his eyebrows, "Say!"

"Spring will begin in less than a month. Then everything will revive and the ice and snow will melt!" Cen Xiang said seriously.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Zhao Yunqi pinched his chin, confused.

"It's both a good thing and a bad thing!" Cen Xiang pursed his lips and continued, "When the ice and snow melt, the remains of refugees and beasts frozen in the ice and snow will also be exposed. The hot weather may cause diseases!"

Zhao Yunqi's pupils shrank, "What?"

“I have been searching through historical records these past few days and found dozens of disaster incidents in the past dynasties. Among them, there were seven records related to snow disasters... among them, six of them included snow disasters! "Cen Xiang said loudly.

"Five times, what about one more time?" Zhao Yunqi asked subconsciously.

"Sealing three counties and avoiding the separation of two rivers, it took several years to survive!" Prime Minister Cen said coldly.

"What?" Zhao Yunqi's pupils shrank and he clenched his hands tightly.

"Blockade, where are the people inside?" A military general couldn't help but ask.

"Nature is born and destroyed by itself!" Prime Minister Cen snorted coldly. "Ah!" The general's eyes widened, "Will you fend for yourself?"

Hearing this, the courtiers present also started talking.

"Three counties, what's the difference between this and destroying half of the country!"

"The people of the three counties, at least 50 in number, have all given up!"

"Really?" someone said vaguely.

"I think I've heard of it..."

"Xiang Cen's words don't seem to be lies. They seem to be..."

"Disaster, is God going to destroy us in Saibei?" A general in Saibei cried out sadly.

"The matter is of great importance at this time. I hope the emperor can make preparations as soon as possible!" Prime Minister Cen knelt down on the ground, holding the wat board in his hand, and shouted solemnly.

"Disaster, disaster..." Zhao Yunqi leaned on the handle of the dragon chair and murmured with his eyes closed.

After a while, he opened his eyes, looked down, and said, "I wonder if Prime Minister Cen has any good ideas?"

"Time is tight, I only thought of two strategies!" Prime Minister Cen replied respectfully, "As for whether it is a good strategy, I dare not say anything!"

Zhao Yunqi:......

Eunuchs:...

Courtier: ...You make us look like useless people.

Hearing this, the people present couldn't help but twitch their lips and were speechless.

"Whether it's a good idea or not, you'll know once you tell me!" Zhao Yunqi smiled, "Come on, Prime Minister Cen, I'm all ears!"

"The first way is to check all the places when the ice and snow disappear. As long as you see a body, bury it on the spot immediately, but..." At this point, he pursed his lips, "This time There are two hidden dangers!”

"What are the disadvantages?" a civil servant asked subconsciously.

Prime Minister Cen glanced at him and didn't care about his interruption, and continued, "The first disadvantage is naturally the consumption of financial, material and human resources. Jingguo has a vast territory, and the refugees have gone south and have already reached the capital!"

"That is to say, the capital city has to be searched all the way to the north. Even if it cannot be searched all due to various reasons, the places with dense crowds and official roads must be searched at least once. This time, it will take at least a month. The search is slow and incomplete. , disasters may still occur...this is the first drawback!"

The people present nodded, feeling that what he said was reasonable.

This is indeed a big disadvantage that cannot be ignored and is obvious.

Prime Minister Cen sighed and continued, "Because there are too many corpses, I guess the burial depth will not be very deep. This creates a second hidden danger!"

"...Wild beasts rummaged through their food, and then caused diseases. After they died, rats ate the food, and then brought it into the village people, biting people, and then..." He paused and stopped talking.

But the people present still heard what he meant and understood that this possibility was not impossible.

After all, it’s not like the plague has never appeared before.

Zhao Yunqi nodded and stretched out his hand, "You are right, don't consider this first method for now, just leave it alone!"

"What about the second one?"

Prime Minister Cen lowered his head, "The focus of the second method is the imperial physician!"

"Imperial physician?" Zhao Yunqi frowned, "What are they capable of?" In addition to saving lives and treating illnesses, he had not yet thought of what other abilities the imperial physicians had.

Prime Minister Cen shook his head, "Isn't it important for an imperial physician to treat illnesses and save people? This plague is nothing more than caused by disease, so we must stop their development in two ways!"

"The first is to deal with the corpse from the source. This can be ignored for now!"

"The second one!" He paused, as if he hadn't thought of what to say.

A military general couldn't help it anymore and said loudly, "Oh, Prime Minister Cen, please speak softly. Don't act like a bitch, swallowing half of what you say!" If he wasn't disgusted, he would be.
