I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 210 The situation is corrupt

But it's not good for him to directly intervene in this matter.

He had no choice but to wave his hand to make people retreat, and deal with the government affairs at hand by himself.

He does not have any duties in the Qi Palace and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion now, but he is temporarily showing to the outside world as the governor of the Qi Palace.But fortunately, everyone knows that this Director Shang is deeply trusted by His Highness, that's right, it is Director Shang, his surname is really too sensitive, and his current public name is Shang Qiutang.

Suddenly he stopped the writing brush in his hand, picked up a document with a special mark, carefully examined it several times, pondered for a while, and then gently rang a few cases, three long and two short, the sound fell, and the door curtain rang , a thin man pushed the door and entered.

"What is the master's order—"

"In the past few days, have there been any changes in Laojun Temple?"

Sun Simiao went to Fangcheng County to develop "artemisinin" with Wang Zi'an?Could it be that Artemisia stinky can really cure plague?Yin Jiushang frowned while watching the report from Yin Wuji.Suddenly, I remembered Li Chunfeng and others who lived in Laojun Temple. After arriving in Shandong, this so-called anti-epidemic team did nothing.

They force people to clean up, build latrines, drink boiled water, or force victims to wash their hands, feet, and hair. Every now and then, they are forced to clean up to drive away mosquitoes, rats, and ants. People are starving to death, okay?Still tossing about these things!Not to mention the complaints from the disaster victims, even the big and small officials of Qizhou Prefecture are very upset.

Fortunately, these people do not meddle in the government affairs of various places. Li Chunfeng is well-known, and several imperial doctors in the team have been in and out of the palace all year round, and they are working under the nose of His Majesty today. Although these local officials are not happy, they can only turn a blind eye. With one eye, pretend that you didn't see it, and let them mess around.Probably tired of tossing and tossing, a few days ago, Li Chunfeng and the others changed their tricks again, and began to urge the local government every day to ask for stinky wormwood and dandelion, saying that they are good medicines to resist the plague-this has become a joke in all parts of Qizhou. .

It's their job to remind them, it's impossible to collect stinky wormwood.If you really fool around with them, you won't be laughed at by the world?Even Yin Jiushang couldn't help laughing and cursing at that time.But now his wisest son actually wrote a letter saying that Sun Simiao had also joined in the research on Artemisia annua, so he couldn't help but ignore it.

"They—they started collecting stinky wormwood themselves..."

The skinny man had a strange expression when he mentioned this matter.

"Now the Laojun temple is almost a smelly temple. The yard in the guest room is full of stinky wormwood. It is said that the Taoist priests of the Laojun temple have been ran away by the smell. If it weren't for Li Chunfeng, they probably would have been there by now. I was kicked out by the host..."

Yin Jiushang couldn't help laughing, and pondered for a while.

"Proceed with the order. From now on, all localities must cooperate with Li Chunfeng to collect stinky wormwood and dandelions, and there should be no delay—by the way, you will be responsible for this matter..."

The thin man groaned, almost choking on his Patriarch's order, and touched his forehead in disbelief.Seeing that Yin Jiushang didn't seem to be joking, he lowered his head resignedly, turned around and left.With this encounter, I will definitely be laughed to death...

Even if Li Chunfeng is in Shandong, the situation of the epidemic prevention team going to Huainan is even more embarrassing.

Although the local officials did not dare to disobey the demands of the imperial physicians, they could not be said to have any intentions.Fortunately, these imperial doctors are well aware of the power of this, and led the epidemic prevention team formed by this group of young students to go deep into the disaster area, keep an eye on the dead, and insist on implementing the epidemic prevention items arranged by Wang Zi'an.But the matter of collecting stinky wormwood and dandelions has encountered unprecedented cold reception.Dong Daoyi, the governor of Huainan, knew medical skills, and he even said it mercilessly to his face.

"It's really playing the qin. Since ancient times, where has anyone heard that Artemisia stinky can cure diseases? You are entrusted with the emperor's order, and you don't want to serve the court with all your heart, but you do these messy things every day, delaying the disaster relief plan. It is really unreasonable! My official I must impeach you to His Majesty..."

Several imperial doctors who led the team were helpless, and more than a hundred young medical staff were also dumbfounded.In the end, there was nothing to do, so I had to report to Wang Zi'an for help, and on the other hand, I and others went to the fields to snatch the stinky wormwood.The dandelion is better, it can be used when it is dry, but the stinky Artemisia was harvested late, and it is difficult to extract the juice...

Although all localities are doing their best to deal with the aftermath of the disaster and appease the people, it is difficult for a smart woman to survive without rice, food and medicine, and all disaster relief policies are nothing but fluff.You can fool the heads of the common people, but you can't fool the stomachs of the common people.In many desperate places, the phenomenon of prostitution has begun to appear...

Dong Daoyi was so anxious that his hair turned gray these days, but the boats he sent to Suzhou and Hangzhou to buy food and grass have not returned, and starvation has begun to appear under his rule...

"Report—report to the governor, the big thing is not good, the fleet we sent to buy grain and grass was attacked by water bandits, and the whole army was wiped out..."

Looking forward to the return of the fleet, Dong Daoyi, who had solved the predicament, only felt his eyes darken, his throat was sweet, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.The Governor's Mansion was in chaos...

Victims were everywhere, the plague was on the rise, the food and medicine allocated by the imperial court was delayed, but the governor fell ill. The whole Huainan was like a boat without a helmsman, and all kinds of rumors began to fly in the sky...

On September [-]th of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Luzhou scholar Zhang Yansheng gathered a crowd to attack the county seat, killed local officials, opened warehouses to release grain, and gathered tens of thousands of people to go north.The banner was to go to Beijing to plead for life, I would rather behead my head than starve to death!I would rather die in a foreign land than die of the plague!
This slogan hit the tears of the victims all at once, and people from all over the country responded. Dong Daoyi, the governor of Huainan, who woke up after hearing the news, struggled to get up from the bed, pleaded guilty to the court, and then drew his sword to kill himself. Since then, the situation in Huainan Complete erosion.

At this time, Li Jing had not arrived at the Huainan border with two thousand disaster relief troops.When he got the news, he hurriedly mobilized soldiers from nearby states to try to stop them.In areas where the plague broke out, if there were a large number of refugees, the consequences would be disastrous.

Although Wei Zheng and others were in Fangcheng, more and more people died from the plague, porridge sheds in various places were also unsustainable. Due to the phenomenon, the pressure on the garrisons in various places can not help but increase, and the situation is critical.

"Daozhang Sun, Zi'an, how is your artemisinin research going?"

Wei Zheng couldn't sit still anymore, rushed to the isolation area in a hurry, looked at Wang Zi'an and Sun Simiao eagerly, and he was a little helpless.
