Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 256 Epidemic
Lu Youqing did not talk about how heartbroken she was after learning of Qin Ke's disappearance, nor did she mention how she tossed and turned in tears for several days.
She just wanted to nestle in Qin Ke's arms, feel his real warmth, and truly feel that he was by her side. That was enough.
Only after you almost lose something do you realize how precious it is to have it.
Not long after, Lu Youqing, who had not slept well for many days, fell asleep unconsciously. His breathing was steady, his body was relaxed, and his face in his sleep looked a little tired, but also revealed a faint calmness.
They had only slept for two hours before they were woken up by knocking on the door. There were still many things waiting for them to do outside.
Lu Youqing is required to be in charge of interrogation, escort, and confiscation of property.
Cheng Chi interrogated the Mahayana rebel leader who was captured last night and handed the interrogation results to Lu Youqing early in the morning.
It turned out that the leader was raising a banner under the name of the former prince. The former prince once favored a fisher girl outside, and he thought it was just a one-night stand. However, he didn't know that the fisher girl became pregnant after that night and gave birth to a baby boy.
The former crown prince was defeated in the battle for the throne with the seventh prince and was imprisoned. Some of the officials who followed the former crown prince's lineage were purged and demoted, while others changed their families.
Some of them lay dormant for the time being and waited for the opportunity to return to the top. This group of people discovered the offspring left by the former crown prince, and established the Mahayana sect in his name, intending to restore the court that was once dominated by men.
Come to think of it, the child is only ten years old now. How can he understand anything orthodox? He is just a pawn being used by others.
The captured Mahayana leader was the child's uncle. He only listened to orders from his superiors and did whatever they told him to do.
The biggest supporter behind them was the governor of Qinzhou, and their official knives came from him.
There were more than seventy officials of all ranks involved in the account books. Lu Youqing even saw a familiar name among them and couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
At this moment, she could imagine the emperor's rage when he saw the account book. She believed that it would not be long before the capital would be a river of blood.
After things here were almost settled, Lu Youqing and Qin Ke set off back to Ningtang. After all, the purpose of Qin Ke's trip was to repair the river embankment. Now that the flood tide has receded, it is time to clear the silt and repair the river.
Qin Ke drove side by side with Lu Youqing. Today, he was wearing a black robe with a dark red leather belt around his waist.
He was looking at the people who were cleaning the streets. After the flood receded, the roads were covered with mud and all kinds of garbage, which needed to be cleaned up one by one.
Lu Youqing still chose the work-for-relief method proposed by Qin Ke when Yizhou was hit by a snowstorm. The county government provided work and meals to restore normal operations in the disaster-stricken areas as soon as possible.
"Go check the food supplies first." Lu Youqing turned and instructed Qin Ke.
She sat on a tall white horse, her face solemn, her back straight, her eyebrows and eyes revealing not gentleness and coquettishness, but firmness and composure different from that of an ordinary woman.
Qin Ke understood what she meant. There must be not much food left in the granary. Fortunately, he had just stored some food before the accident, otherwise clues would have been revealed long ago.
He immediately pulled the reins, gently squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and went straight to the granary.
Later, I only heard that His Majesty personally sent Xiao Anyi to lead the army to take over the gold mine. She also came here in person to take the account books from my wife and escorted the rebel to Beijing.
The ordinary people who were captured by the rebels and taken to Beidai Mountain to work as coolies like Qin Ke were interrogated and then allowed to return home.
Qin Ke resumed his busy work, recruiting people to clean up the silt and garbage that blocked the river port and repair the river embankment.
He inspected the riverbank along the Su River and thought to himself that it was no wonder that the riverbank collapsed when it was hit. The bricks were shoddily built when they were first built, and they would break with just a slight tap.
Normally, nothing may seem to happen on the surface, but once a flood occurs, clues will be revealed.
Qin Ke collected the dismantled shoddy bricks and the riverbank inspection report, ready to present them to His Majesty when the time comes. His Majesty will handle everything. He only needs to do his own thing.
He is not a greedy person, or maybe he already has enough now. People should be content with what they have, especially since he has died once. He has already seen clearly what is most important.
He worked diligently in his previous life and was reluctant to spend the money he earned, but when an accident happened, all his work was in vain.
If you live your life again, you will naturally hold on to the things that are most cherished and important. Money is something outside of your body, so it is enough to have enough.
As long as he does not pursue personal gain, uses real materials and techniques when repairing the river embankment, ensures the quality of the project, and finally uses cement to reinforce and protect it.
Qin Ke can ensure that the embankment is strong enough to withstand the impact of natural disasters such as floods. This project is not something that can be completed overnight, and he only needs to inspect and supervise it every day.
……
"My Lord, something bad has happened. There is an epidemic in Shijia Village."
Just when everything was about to get back on track, another piece of bad news came.
The floods took away many lives, not only human but also livestock, and the bodies in the water polluted the water source. After the mountain torrents, the fields and crops were soaked and rotted, and all kinds of silt and garbage were spread all over the mountains and countryside, and many mosquitoes carrying germs multiplied wildly.
In addition, it is a hot summer now, which is very easy to cause epidemics. Qin Ke had considered this at the beginning, and after cleaning the streets, he sprinkled lime powder to prevent epidemics.
However, the reserves of lime powder are limited, and there is always a loophole.
Lu Youqing and Qin Ke looked at each other and saw worry and solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Immediately dispatch soldiers to seal off Shijia Village, allowing only people in and not out. Also recruit doctors and usable herbal medicines from nearby areas. If they are not available locally, purchase them from other places." Lu Youqing made a prompt decision. The most important thing at the moment was to curb the spread of the epidemic.
Qin Ke wrote down all the modern epidemic prevention methods he could think of, and instructed the clothing shops in the city to make masks and gloves according to his design drawings.
He did everything he could, but there was still no way to cure the epidemic in Shijia Village. Even some of the officials sent there were infected with the disease, first suffering from high fever and then coughing.
As their condition worsened, the patients began to vomit, and the vomited feces emitted a foul odor. Their bodies gradually became weaker and they could not stand up. They could only lie in bed until they died.
There were almost no survivors of Shijia Village, and they knew that death was approaching. In desperation, some people went to the village entrance to cause trouble.
The officials were infected with the disease while trying to stop them.
Lu Youqing began to face a dilemma. Fortunately, the epidemic was contained in Shijia Village in time. Most of the doctors sent there were helpless and some even fell ill one after another.
If there is still no cure for the epidemic, then the best way is...
