Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 564 Misfortunes Never Come Alone
Su Ze was not annoyed.

"Reading is no longer an option. Xiaochen, if you have a better way to make money, I can give it a try."

Song Chen glanced at him and said, "In this current situation, there is no way to make money. They are selling money every day."

What Song Chen said was not false at all.

Although they made a lot of money before, they also spent a lot of money. If it weren't for the special situation now and they could support it with food, they might have been completely penniless.

"When will the prince plan to take action?"

They all feel that now is the best opportunity. Shangjing's strength has been exhausted. Now as long as they take action, there will be no suspense in the world.

But Cang Xiuxuan didn't even mention this matter, as if it didn't matter at all.

"Now is not the best time."

Song Chen naturally knew what Cang Xiuxuan was thinking, and Su Ze was no outsider. When asked, she knew everything, "Most of the people are living in dire straits. If we start a war now, the ones who will suffer will still be the ones who suffer." Ordinary people, they can’t bear it.”

Su Ze was not surprised when Song Chen said this.

"This time is actually a huge opportunity. As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

When they were in Beijing, Su Ze wouldn't dare to say this so carelessly. Even when he said it in private, he had to carefully check that the walls had ears. But here, there was nothing they didn't dare to say or do.

Song Chen agreed with these words, but he couldn't help but sigh.

To win the hearts and minds of the people at a time like this, the price to pay is too high.

This time, they are afraid that they will really have to wipe out all their wealth.

"Master, it's bad, the plague is out of control."

Cang Xiuxuan was handling official business in the study room. Cang Liu came in and dropped a bomb.

Cang Xiuxuan quickly stood up and said, "What's going on? Please explain it carefully."

"Today I received letters from other places. When I sorted them out, I found that they all reflected the death situation in various places. Compared with yesterday, the number was completely doubled."

The death toll is the best indicator of the plague. The death toll doubled overnight. What a concept!
It is not an exaggeration to use the word "out of control" to describe it.

"Where are they?"

"Jingzhou, Yannan, Xunzhou."

Of these three places, except for the one in Jingzhou where such a situation was excusable, the other two places were completely unexpected.

After all, the county guards and officials in these two places were very cooperative, and they had used all the medicinal materials distributed previously. Why did this happen again.

"In addition to these places, there is Chuzhou. Although the number of dead people there has not doubled, it is almost there."

Chuzhou is not far from them.

Cang Xiu thought about it and couldn't figure out where the problem was.

"Send the order quickly and let the corpse conduct an autopsy." He remembered that Song Chen had said before that sometimes the corpse gave far more information than the person.

After Cang Liu left, Cang Xiuxuan thought for a long time alone.

When I walked out of the yard and looked at the sky above my head, I couldn't help but feel powerless.

If it does, what will the world be like if it doesn't rain?

The latest news from Cangliu came quickly. The autopsy did not find any other information. These people are still the same as those before.

This left Cang Xiuxuan at a loss for what to do.

When Song Chen came, he saw his sad face and asked, "Why are you worried?" It was really rare for him to look like this.

Cang Xiuxuan sighed and pulled the person onto his lap to sit down. "Recently, the plague in some places has been getting out of control, and the number of deaths has doubled."

"Aren't you already using medicine to control it? My prescription has failed?"

Song Chen felt that this seemed a bit unbelievable. She was very confident about the prescription she had prescribed. As long as it was not serious, it would basically be fine. If it was serious, it could be cured with all the treatment.

Why did it suddenly get out of control?

"Do you know the age group of the people who died?" Song Chen thought for a while before realizing that they seemed to have missed some important information.

"Does the plague still have this distinction?" Cang Xiuxuan was puzzled.

"This plague actually bullies the weak and fears the strong. Sometimes it may specifically pick on the weak. If most of the victims are the elderly or children, then it should be normal."

"Why is it still normal?" Cang Xiuxuan felt that she was confused.

Song Chen patiently explained to him, "Think about it, are the people with weak bones the first to get sick? And then the old people?"

Cang Xiuxuan nodded.

Song Chen continued, "Plague is also a disease. Diseases definitely target people who are in poor health. The elderly and children have relatively low immunity. Coupled with long-term malnutrition, their bodies will only It has become weaker, and at this time, it is normal for a large number of elderly people and children to get sick and die."

If people don't have enough to eat every day, they won't want to move much. The elderly have a bad mentality, so they are naturally the first to be affected.

As for children, it's pretty much the same story.

This was not the first time that Cang Xiuxuan heard the word immunity from Song Chen. Although he still didn't know what the word meant, after thinking about it through what she said, he could almost understand it. .

"Then how can this situation be resolved?"

No matter the elderly or children, we can no longer die on such a large scale, especially children. Without children, there is no hope.

This time Song Chen was no longer omnipotent.

"I do not know either."

Even if the food she has here can be spread all over the world, if it doesn't rain, it will be useless no matter how much she does.

In the end, it will only breed a country's worms. Once this person gets used to getting something for nothing, it will eventually become the norm.

Even if it rains in the future, they may not be so happy anymore.

This is why everyone in the new city needs to use their own labor to pay for food and water.

"Now I just hope that it will rain."

Only when it rains will all hope be rekindled.

In fact, not to mention ordinary people, even Song Chen had despaired of such weather.

If it doesn't rain for a few months, it's just like this even in the last days. If it continues like this, she doesn't know how long these people can last.

Song Chen's hope is not Cang Xiuxuan's hope, but none of them can do anything about it, because no one in this world can control God to make it rain.

Neither of them expected that there was also the saying that misfortune never comes alone.

While the two of them were still worrying about the weather, bad news came from the other side.

"Earth Dragon turn over!"
