Shen Yongzhong was not really stupid, he just didn't understand the situation. Once he realized the seriousness of the plague problem, how could he still find it too tiring to take a boat to and from Tuoji Island and Lushunkou in one day?

So that afternoon, he handed over the letters written by Yang Zhen to Yuan Shu and Yue Qijie to Fang Guangchen, and then went to Daqin Island on the same boat with Li Ji and his followers.

He dropped off Li Ji and his companions at the pier of Daqin Island, and then under the afterglow of the evening sun, he and the boat rushed back to Lushunkou, where he reported the outbreak of plague in Dengzhou Prefecture to Yang Zhen.

"The plague is really here?!"

Facing Shen Yongzhong who came to the house for an interview in the middle of the night, Yang Zhen had him taken to the second hall where he lived. After listening to his report, Yang Zhen looked shocked.

In this life, he had already learned about the rapid spread of plague in Shanxi, Henan, and Beizhili areas through Yue Qijie's description.

There are also clear records in history books that, thirteen years after Chongzhen, the plague had advanced to the vicinity of the capital, especially in Hejian Prefecture.

But it finally spread to Shandong and Denglai only after the 14th and 15th years of Chongzhen.

Yang Zhen, who was more interested in the history of the late Ming Dynasty in his previous life, also paid attention to the epidemic situation of the plague during the Chongzhen period.

Although many of his memories have been blurred to this day, the records of the plague that left countless people with blood and tears left a very deep impression on him.

Could it be that there is something wrong with my memory?

Or maybe the large-scale immigration and reclamation that he carried out in Jinhai Town attracted more immigrants to Dengzhou Prefecture, and then caused Dengzhou Prefecture to be infected with the epidemic in advance?

When he thought of the possibility behind this, Yang Zhen's mood quickly sank.

Under the light, Yang Zhen meditated for a while, broke away from the negative emotions, looked at Shen Yongzhong who looked tired, and asked:

"What about Dengzhou Water City? Are there any sick or sick people among the newly admitted people?"

"No. At least as of yesterday morning, no."

Facing Yang Zhen's inquiry, Shen Yongzhong quickly answered.

On the boat from Tuoji Island to Daqin Island, he asked Li Ji in detail about the entire immigration process.

Knowing that Yang Zhen had already set up isolation and quarantine areas like isolated islands in advance to prevent the possible epidemic, Shen Yongzhong was once again shocked deep in his heart by Yang Zhen's advance layout and superior moves.

After he understood the immigration process, he also knew very well that for Jinhai Town, the key to blocking the plague infection was the Dengzhou Water City.

As for the isolation camps on Tuoji Island, Daqin Island, and North and South Chenghuang Islands that are located at sea and are independent of each other, their dangers are much smaller.

Even if there are sick or sick people in one of the isolation camps, it will not immediately affect the overall situation of the entire immigration team.

As long as a strong man cuts off his wrist, the hidden danger of plague epidemic during the immigration process can be eliminated.

"So, what about the isolation camps on Tuoji Island, Daqin Island, and North and South Chenghuang Islands?"

"Don't worry, Governor. I asked Li Ji in detail. Li Ji said that the immigrants currently in the isolation camps on the island arrived on the island three days ago at the latest. At that time, the refugee team from Hejian Prefecture had not yet arrived.

State capital!”

After hearing this, Yang Zhen thought about it for a while and nodded, but he still couldn't help but sigh and said: "I'm afraid that the refugees who died of illness contracted the disease here in Denglai!"

When Yang Zhen said this, Shen Yongzhong was immediately shocked, and he who was originally so sleepy suddenly became much more awake.

"Then, Fang Jueyi and Li Jili Dusi also asked their subordinates to ask the governor for instructions. The immigrants who are currently in the isolation camp on Tuoji Island and other places will be observed for another three to five days to make sure that no one is infected before departure."

"Well, they have considered it very carefully. Let's do it this way."

Faced with the suggestions from Fang Guangchen and others, of course Yang Zhen could only do this.

He knows very well that there are still risks in isolation camps in places such as Tuoji Island, and the risk is that the isolation and observation period in Dengzhou Shuicheng is a bit short.

Of course, this is a last resort. According to Yang Zhending's process, if the quarantine period in Dengzhou Water City is too long, it will seriously delay the progress of the entire immigration to cross the sea and head north.

Fortunately, since the immigration affairs were launched, no plague epidemic has been found in the Dengzhou Shuicheng quarantine area, and there has also been no case in the isolation and quarantine areas set up on Luoji Island, North and South Chenghuang Island, and later expanded to Daqin Island.

The plague epidemic somewhat relieved Yang Zhen's anxious heart.

Yang Zhen gradually felt relieved when he learned that a plague broke out in Dengzhou Prefecture and that there were no problems in the isolation and quarantine areas of Dengzhou Shuicheng and Tuoji Island for the time being.

He had already decided to slow down the pace of accepting immigrants. At this time, there was a situation in Dengzhou Prefecture, which did not have much impact on his previous deployment.

It was just a pity for Yuan Shu and Magistrate Yuan that the problem of refugees gathering to beg for food had just been alleviated, but the epidemic of pimple plague suddenly broke out again.

Thinking of Yuan Shu, who was suffering a little, Yang Zhen said to Shen Yongzhong: "I don't want to bother you two. After dawn, you go to Tuoji Island again and tell them to consult with them about the mask method I told them before.

, implement the isolation and quarantine as soon as possible.

“At the same time, we should tell the soldiers on the island and the ship, as well as the immigrants in the island isolation camp, to bathe in seawater every morning and evening, be sure to clean food, clothing and accommodation, avoid mosquito and flea bites as much as possible, and be sure to clean the ship

The rat!"

"mouse?"

"That's right. The plague is the plague. The root cause of the plague is rats and the fleas on rats. This must be made clear to everyone. At present, rats are more harmful than tigers."

"I understand my humble position! In the current epidemic situation, not only can a sick immigrant not be allowed to enter Jinhai Town, but even a mouse or a flea cannot be allowed to enter Jinhai Town!"

That night, after Shen Yongzhong reported to Yang Zhen the situation in Dengzhou Mansion, Tuoji Island and other places, he received Yang Zhen's order and returned to the Xiangping Bo Mansion in the southern city of Lushun with a heavy heart.

Then I met my wife and children in the mansion, rested briefly for two hours, and after dawn, I took the boat again and went south to deliver the order.

At the same time, Yang Zhen himself and even Jinhaizhen also faced a very important and far-reaching event——

Jin Haibo's wife Qiu Bihan gave birth to a fat, healthy baby boy who cried loudly.

However, it is said that in the early morning of May 22, the 13th year of Chongzhen, Yang Zhen was completely sleepless after meeting Shen Yongzhong. He tossed and turned until dawn and could not fall asleep. So he got up, washed briefly, and went to the backyard to accompany Qiu Bihan, who was already preparing for delivery.

It has been more than nine months since Qiu Bihan found out that she was pregnant in September last year.

Since the Dragon Boat Festival, Jinhai Town Hall has been preparing for the smooth delivery of Mrs. Qiu Bihan.

Qiu Bihan's mother and aunt were already with her and stayed in the inner courtyard.

The family members of the generals and generals who were settled in the south city of Lushun also came to see Mrs. Jin Haibo to say hello, and the midwife Wen Po recommended one after another.

Yang Zhen had no way to get involved in such matters, so he could only leave it to Qiu Bihan's mother, mother-in-law Shen, and Qiu Bihan's aunt.

By mid-May, everything was ready, but Qiu Bihan was always as stable as a rock, and there were no signs of imminent delivery.

In this way, until late May, Qiu Bihan still had no common signs before giving birth. Until the early morning of the 22nd, Yang Zhen thought that she might have to continue waiting.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he finished summoning Shen Yongzhong and came to the door of the backyard, he heard a series of footsteps coming from the backyard, and then he was bumped into by a maid.

Yang Zhen supported the maid and took a look, but it was Xinyue who had recently become one of the two maids living together.

In the past few days, Qiu Bihan was about to give birth, so the two personal maids naturally stayed in the backyard day and night to take care of her.

"Oh, it's the Governor. I'm just going to find the Governor. My wife is about to give birth. Several women said that she is really going to give birth. My wife told me to ask the Governor to come over quickly!"

As soon as Yang Zhen heard this, he felt happy and anxious at the same time, and followed Xinyue and ran towards the inner courtyard.

Yang Zhen is happy that he will be a father in this life.

What made him a little anxious was that the medical level in this era was limited and there were no obstetric hospitals. What should he do if there was an accident?

However, it turned out that Yang Zhen was overthinking. Although there are ways to do it hundreds of years later, such as cesarean section, there are naturally ways to do it in this time and space.

Just when Yang Zhen came to the steps outside the main door of the backyard in a panic, he heard a woman inside the house shouting with joy:

"I've given birth, I've given birth to a young master. Congratulations, Madam. Congratulations, Madam. I'm a young master!"

"Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam, there will be a successor in the Jinhai Bo Mansion. You have given birth to the governor's eldest son, a young master of the Bo Mansion!"

After the female voice called out just now, there was a burst of congratulations and congratulations in the room, and then a burst of "wow" and "wow" cries of the baby resounded throughout the backyard of Jin Haibo Mansion.

A group of people waiting outside the door saw Yang Zhen arriving and heard the noise inside the house and the baby's cry. They knelt down and congratulated Yang Zhen on the birth of his son.

Outside the room, Yang Zhen heard the sound of joy in the room and the cry of the baby immediately after. A stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he was filled with mixed emotions.

Then Yang Zhen opened the door curtain and walked in quickly. Amidst the congratulations and congratulations one after another, he walked up to Qiu Bihan, squatted down, held her hand, looked at her tenderly, and kept nodding.

.

Qiu Bihan gave birth smoothly and her mother and child were safe. However, this process was obviously not easy. A face full of sweat and tears was full of haggard and exhaustion.

Seeing Yang Zhen looking at her tenderly, she held Yang Zhen's hand, smiled, and said to Yang Zhen in her tired and even hoarse voice:

"Husband, did you hear that? Look, we have a son. We have a son!"

Since her marriage to Yang Zhen, giving birth to a son has always been Qiu Bihan's top priority and a worry for her. Now that she has finally given birth to a son, she is obviously very happy.

But for Yang Zhen, although this matter is important, it is not as important as Qiu Bihan's safety.

In fact, when Qiu Bihan's pregnancy belly was getting bigger and bigger, and the month of delivery was getting closer and closer, Yang Zhen was most worried about her safety.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work. Madam's safety is more important than anything else!"

Seeing Qiu Bihan hurriedly exhausted and haggard, Yang Zhen finally just held her hand and said these words to her.
Chapter completed!
