Chapter 423 The Plague
In mid-May, it began to rain continuously!

"Feng Quan, ask the servants to buy more food, the more the better!" Half a month later, Mu Zhige ordered Feng Quan, and sent a letter to Mu Chaojin.

"With this heavy rain, I don't know how many people will be displaced this year," Shen Yuanping said, taking off his coir raincoat after returning.

"I'm afraid this year will be difficult!" Mu Zhige handed Shen Yuanping a look at the ginger soup, and said with a sigh.

"That's not true, I'm afraid the grain harvest will be in short supply this year!" Shen Yuan was also full of worries on a plane.

"I've already asked Feng Quan to stockpile food! Isn't this even more terrifying!" Mu Zhige sighed and said, it's always raining now, and the food can't be pollinated, so how can we harvest the food.

'pollination? Mu Zhige was a little taken aback, what kind of word is this.

"Is there something more terrifying?" Shen Yuanping looked nervous, could there be other disasters?

"If this rain lasts for another half a month, there will probably be floods in the Jiangnan generation, and I'm afraid there will be a plague!" Mu Zhige said with a worried face.

"Plague?" Shen Yuanping's eyes widened, it was a big deal!
"This flood will definitely destroy houses, livestock, and even human lives. When people drink this kind of river water, plague will break out." Mu Zhige was very worried.

"I'll tell the emperor to go!" Shen Yuanping wanted to go out nervously.

"Just tell the prince!" Mu Zhige said.

"Ah?" Shen Yuanping stared at Mu Zhige in shock.

"Now the emperor's health is getting worse and worse. Most of the affairs in the court are handled by the prince. These are just my guesses, not facts, but they can be used as an introduction for you to surrender." Mu Zhige said in a deep voice.

"Surrender? Didn't I only listen to the emperor?" Shen Yuanping stared at Mu Zhige.

"You can only be a direct minister and only listen to the emperor, but this is just a guess. You are just telling the prince your guess, but not reporting an incident." Mu Zhige said.

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife!" Shen Yuanping scratched his head, feeling even more confused, but he wanted to get dressed soon.

"When I go to court tomorrow, just say it casually, it seems deliberate to go to him now!" Mu Zhige stopped Shen Yuanping.

"Listen to my lady, I'm hungry too!" Shen Yuanping responded with a smile.

At the next day, Shen Yuanping walked to Tang Yi's side.

"Is there something wrong with Duke Protector?" Tang Yi looked at Shen Yuanping in surprise.

"His Royal Highness, if it rains today, I am afraid that there will be a flood, and then there will be corpses in the water, and dirty things will cause plague!" Shen Yuanping tried hard to recall what Mu Zhige said last night.

Tang Yi frowned, "Thank you, Lord Protector!" Tang Yi cupped his hands and left without waiting for Shen Yuanping to speak.

After Tang Yi went back, he quickly summoned his staff, and then quickly dispatched troops to make people do propaganda along the river and do a good job of fishing in the river.

But even so, Tang Yi still couldn't rest assured, and asked Jin Taiyi to look up more books on treating the plague, and asked people to buy medicinal materials.

The torrential rain fell for another 20 days, and there was no rain after that. No plague broke out in the Jiangnan area, but a plague broke out near Miaojiang.

When Tang Yi knew about it, he quickly reported it to Emperor Jingkang.

"Plague? Shen, Wang Jian, quickly lead the troops there, and Imperial Physician Jin also goes there!" Emperor Jingkang looked at Shen Yuanping, and then chose to let Wang Jian go.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Jian replied with ashen face, but he couldn't help resenting in his heart. Why did he leave this kind of drudgery to himself?
