Chapter 115 114. The epidemic is ferocious

"No need to be polite."

Su Mu waved his hand and asked : "How's the epidemic in the city now? What's the situation in the shack over there?"

"Back to Su Daoist,"

The soldier on duty at the city gate said with a bitter smile: "This plague came suddenly and spread very quickly. As far as the villain knows, there are no less than a hundred cases of infected people in the city... But those who are infected with the disease will have fever all over and their skin will fester... Most of them are in one day. Within two days, he will be cured."

"Yes!"

Another soldier said: "If the infected person is young and strong, or the family is rich, famous doctors and great medicines will treat them. , it's better... the old and weak, the poor, the only thing left to do is to die..."

"In the shack over there, this morning, a dozen or so infected refugees were found in a row, and the magistrate ordered the , to isolate all the shacks..."

The two soldiers told the truth frankly, and said so pitifully, there is no lack of desire to ask Su Mu for help - if Su Mu can take the initiative to stand up, use Divine Ability to expel the plague, that would be the best.

"Is it so serious? I know."

Su Mup nodded slightly, naturally knowing what these two people were thinking, but could do nothing.

Although most of the [Negara Jade Dew] in his hand can treat patients, one or two, ten or eight, it's good to say... But if it spreads to all infected people, it can't be used, so let him use it. 's 【Qingjiao Yulu】to go for treatment?

Not to mention, how much energy and other raw materials are needed for the [Neuron Jade Dew] consumed in it...

Just say: even if they are cured, if it is repeated What about infection? Treat it again?

To do that, Su Mu would have to go bankrupt.

In addition, it is also mixed with sophistication: if you save some people for free, you may be grateful for a while, but what if these people are infected a second time?

No help? The kindness is cleared, and even more, there is a grudge.

After rescuing this batch, other potential patients have been exposed. Do you want to continue rescuing?

No help? Resentment is self-generated - this is the principle of 'not suffering from few but suffering from unevenness'.

I can't save it by myself, do you want to send the [Qingjiao Yulu] and let the government help save it? Will there be any corruption? [Qingjiaoyulu] When there is insufficient, it is only enough for a few people, who can be saved? Who don't you save?

Between the choice, there is enough hatred.

 …

Too many questions here.

It can be said: If the plague cannot be completely solved, and only half of the work is done, it is completely thankless, and most of the gains are not gratitude, but resentment.

Therefore, Su Mu never thought of taking it all in.

Of course, it's impossible to get a big package, and a little help can still be given.

"This is for you."

Su Mu has golden light flashed in his hand, and a stack of 'masks' appears out of thin air: "This item is called 'mask', which can replace silk Cloth is used for epidemic prevention and reduces the risk of contracting the plague."

"A 'mask' can be used for ten days...is it used? Like me, it's light and easy to learn."

"Thank you Su Daoist!"

The two soldiers looked at each other and took over the 'mask', both overjoyed.

In the past, this city gate's work was considered a fat man; but now, when a plague breaks out, it will kill you!

Even if they are related, they can't be separated for a while.

What, the silk cloth on the face?

This only slightly reduces the risk of infection. After all, there are many people who wear silk cloth and are still infected. It can only be said that the effect of psychological comfort is far greater than reality.

The 'mask' donated by Su Mu is very different - now, who in West Ning City doesn't know that Su daoist must be a high-quality product?

Even if Su Mu said, 'mask' can only reduce the risk of infection, but it is better than silk cloth!

——After all, a real 'fairy thing' is better than silk cloth, isn't it?

After getting the 'mask', the two soldiers on duty at the city gate immediately took out two, quickly replaced the silk cloth, and put it on the face.

Suddenly.

They only feel that their breathing is smooth, and most importantly: a restless heart has also calmed down.

This made the two soldiers hold their heads high and their spirits lifted.

At this time.

Behind Su Mu and Li Mingyue, other nobles who entered the city all cast envious glances at the two soldiers - but no, with the 'divine object' presented by Su daoist, the safety of life is guaranteed. With great protection, isn't it worth envy?

It's a pity that they have no friendship and can't speak, otherwise, they would all want to ask Su Mu for some 'masks'.

"many thanks Su daoist!"

The two soldiers felt the lightness of the masks, bathed in the envious eyes of others, and felt very happy, and couldn't help thanking them again.

"Don't thank me. These 'masks' are not for both of you, and neither of you can use them up."

Su Mu instructed: "Later, you will Give the extra 'masks' to the soldiers who are guarding the isolation and other people on duty!"

"Don't worry, Su Daoist, we understand!"

The faces of the two soldiers were happy No reduction, hurriedly assured.

There are so many 'masks' that they can't keep them under normal circumstances. The biggest possibility is that after the event, it will be taken away by the people above and 'unified distribution'.

But with Su Mu's words, they can 'hold chicken feathers as swords' and distribute them to those soldiers in exchange for favors...even, they can even keep two or three privately and take them back to family.

"Good."

Su Mu nodded slightly, and didn't bother to care about these trivial matters. He pulled Li Mingyue, who listened quietly and looked like he was the main character, and went into the city. .

…

In the city.

Different from the past, today, there are many fewer people, and they are all in a hurry, their faces covered with silk cloth; even those who cannot use silk cloth are also covered with linen cloth.

There are also: casinos, wine shops, tea houses, restaurants... these entertainment places are left out in front of the door; and grain stores, oil mills, salt shops... these basic living material stores, there are long queues Team.

 …

Food is heaven.

The second shopkeeper went out and changed the price on the wooden token at the door from 'five coins a pound' to 'seven coins a pound' - there are faint traces of many changes. Obviously, the price has been changed. repeatedly.

"Why is the price going up again?"

Someone shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, last month it was still 'one dollar a pound', but now it's 'seven dollars a pound', a full sevenfold increase!"

"One dollar a pound" A pound? That's what Old Huang has done, but before, it was still five cents a pound!"

"That's right, aren't you raising prices?"

"This makes How can I live?"

......

"What's the noise? The deputy's appearance is "fearless, whether you like to buy it or not": "Do you think it is too expensive? Don't buy it!"

Such an arrogant attitude immediately aroused public indignation.

"Open the door to do business, why is this?"

"Yes!"

"Black-hearted businessman!"

......

p>

The situation is about to spiral out of control.

At this moment——

A big man suddenly stepped forward: "You don't want me! Seven dollars a pound is not expensive, and the 'Wanjia Grain Shop' on the next street is all Nine cents a pound! Isn't that seven cents a pound? I want it all!"

"No way."

A woman in a turban stood up and scolded: " You bought it all, what else do we buy? The big guy said yes? I propose that each person can only buy 20 pounds!"

"Yes!"

"No Let him buy them all!"

"If this person buys them all, we won't have to eat them all!"

"The limit of 20 catties per person, this The way is good, everyone has food to eat!"

......

"You, you..."

The big man pointed at the crowd, his face flushed, Afraid of being beaten by the group, he had to buy 20 jin and retreated in despair.

The crowd cheered as they drove away the wicked.

"I'll buy 20 catties too!"

The woman with the turban stepped forward, still muttering: "I heard the news: Because of the plague, the food cannot be delivered. Entering the city, the price of food will definitely go up in the future!"

Other people were excited when they saw the two leaders.

"It's not easy for a store owner to risk the mortal danger to do business. Earn as much as you can... I'll buy 20 pounds too!"

"Ai, store more food, It's not a bad thing...give me 20 pounds too!"

"It's more expensive, it's better than starving to death..."

… …

Originally, everyone who was still complaining about the high food prices bought them frantically.

The fat shopkeeper didn't ridicule people anymore, he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and led the shop assistant with numb hands and feet, filling everyone with food.

......

"It's...interesting!"

Su Mu led Li Mingyue, standing not far away, watching this scene, laughed and shook his head: "Mingyue, can you see it? That fat shopkeeper is singing double reeds with that big man and woman!"

The eye contact between these people, although secretive, could not hide his intentions.

Obviously, in order to fear that the price increase would cause anger among the crowd, the fat shopkeeper who is "food for the heavens" took great pains and even found two "children" to act.

"I just said, why do they feel that their emotions are not right...Is that fat shopkeeper so bad? Isn't this...taking money from the people?"

Li Mingyue waved her small Fist: "I want to tell Daddy to arrest this person!"

"According to the law of "Da Yu", this person really did not break the law, at best he can only be regarded as a profiteer."

Su Mu sighed and shook his head: "I don't know how many things are more extreme than this... I really want to speak of which, this person's methods are still mild."

"Huh?"

p>

Li Mingyue was confused.

"Don't think too much, just be happy."

Su Mu touched Li Mingyue's head and held her hand: "Let's go, let's visit you Daddy."

......

Going all the way to Ning Wang's mansion, I don't know how much I saw similar chaos.

......

It was near Ningwang's mansion that Su Mu took out two baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables from the storage compartment of the home, and Li Mingyue and Li Mingyue each carried a basket as a door-to-door gift,

…

p>

"Uncle, the princess!"

Su Mu and Li Mingyue have been here a lot, and they are scheduled every week, so the concierge has been waiting for a long time, and they will come across a long way. to meet.

“It’s hard work.”

Su Mu handed over the fruit basket and took out a fruit as a reward.

"Many thanks, Uncle!"

A smile blossomed on the porter's face.

The servants of Prince Ning's mansion all know that Su Mu is generous. On this day of the week, they all rush to come to greet him. Without a deep relationship, he really can't get on duty on this day.

In the door.

He has his own maid to lead the way.

 …

Not long after.

Li Mingyue went to visit the concubines with some gifts.

Here I want to say, after she married Su Mu, those aunts who were a little cold in the past have turned into 'good people'. When facing Li Mingyue, they were full of positive emotions.

Why?

Naturally, it is a home spiritual spring water that can delay aging, as well as various novel treasures such as 'glass mirror' and 'ruyi dew'.

…

small courtyard.

Su Mu sat opposite King Ning, and there were some exquisite wines and snacks on the table.

In the past three or four months, Su Mu's attitude was in place, and he often came to visit with fruits and vegetables, and presented all kinds of novelties.

"Good son-in-law,"

King Ning mentioned something: "Can you still remember: three or four months ago, about the Hu Family? I used the imperial decree, the one above, but the flies into a rage..."

The Yu Kingdom has a vast territory and a long distance, and the news came a few days ago.

"How can I not remember? In the end, it's because of me... Sir, can you use my place?"

Su Mu poured a glass for him wine, asked carefully.

These days, he has learned that the relationship between King Ning and Yu Guosheng was not on good terms, and Li Mingyue's mother died in childbirth in dystocia - which is suspected to be related to that one.

"It's not necessary."

King Ning waved his hand and smiled happily: "In the end, it's not easy to lift the lid... The one above, this time, After all, I have to endure it."

"Theoretically speaking, at this time, I can take over the military and political power of West Ning City."

"oh?"

Su Mu's heart moved, and suddenly remembered the letter from Zhuang Er master and disciple: "Master Yuezhang, I have a friend..."

He talked about the grassland, this winter, it is very likely that people from Beiyan will be in the east. Invasion, when the time comes, West Ning City may become a battleground.

"Is there such a thing?!"

King Ning knew right away: "I thought that the person who had a sex change, didn't expect...he was actually waiting here. Wait for me..."

Obvious.

Emperor Yu did not pursue the 'sacred decree' in order to completely bind King Ning, so that when the Northern Yan people invaded east, they would coexist with Ning City in the west.

It can also be seen from this: Zhuang Er's reminder to the Imperial Court is not that Emperor Yu does not understand, but, in his eyes, foreign enemies are not to be feared, and King Ning, the 'internal thief', is the most hateful.

"It's really ironic."

Su Mu shook his head: "That...and the Imperial Court gentlemen, don't be afraid that things will get out of hand, resulting in the collapse of the war with Beiyan. ?"

"What are those people afraid of?"

King Ning drank a cup of himself, said with a smile: "Defeat is nothing more than a marriage, ceding land, and indemnity. !"

"Oh, by the way, it can't be called 'indemnity', it's called 'year-old coins'!"

In his tone, he sneered unabashedly.

"It's really..."

Su Mu shook the head and didn't say any more, suddenly remembering the Song Dynasty on Earth.

How similar?

It's just a bunch of bastards.

He is very suspicious: if the 'appeasement' really goes on, the Yu State will be like the Song Dynasty, the capital will be destroyed, and Emperor Ji's concubines will all be slaves!

"If Lord Yuezhang is interested in that position, I can ride the phoenix, step on the Imperial Palace, kill Emperor Yu, and kill all the traitors!"

Su Mu said.

He wasn't joking. After the homeland was upgraded to level 1, his confidence increased greatly. If King Ning really needed it, it would not be a bad idea to kill the emperor.

After all, is there any difference in intimacy? Compared with Li Mingyue and King Ning, who is Emperor Yu?

Sorry, I don't know -- I'll kill you if I don't!

“en?”

King Ning lifts the head, takes a serious look at Su Mu, confirms that he is not joking, really thinks about it seriously, and finally slowly shakes his head: " It's not that simple... If I really do this, I won't be in the right position, the people will not accept it, and the world will be devastated... If the Yu Dynasty is destroyed, I have no face to see the ancestors..."

See King Ning's rejection.

Su Mu also stopped talking about it, and changed the subject to talk about the recent plague in the city.

"Speaking of the plague... In my house, there is an infected purchasing maid..."

Ning Wang said so.
