A large four-engine plane was flying in the sky, and the roar of four 2,800-horsepower star engines could be heard clearly even through the cabin.

The passenger planes in this world may not be as quiet as those in another world, but what is certain is that the seats are definitely very comfortable, not to mention that this plane is a Royal special plane.

Zhu Mingzhong, who was in the cabin, only felt that all this seemed a little dazed.

Why did he pull me to Kunming?

I received a call from the East Palace in the morning and went to Kunming with Zhu Jianyu in the afternoon, without even letting him refuse.

"You are a scientist, so you can definitely give me some advice! Come with me!"

In this way, Zhu Mingzhong boarded the plane. After the plane took off, Zhu Jianyu and the officials were discussing the current investigation and intelligence in Kunming. At present, the situation there can be said to be very tense. They have been discussing for nearly an hour, but there is still no result. Some of them are smoking cigarettes silently, while others are writing scattered and incoherent suggestions, waiting to start over.

Zhu Jianyu smoked a cigar without saying a word. Then, he realized that the cigar had burned out, so he began to press it to extinguish it in the ashtray.

"Now, according to the report of the Duke of Qian, more than 385 dead patients had been found at that time, and the infected people may have exceeded a thousand. Tell me, what should we do now?"

Once again, Zhu Jianyu turned his attention to the officials in the cabin, including both officials and doctors, all of whom were led by him.

Opposite the aisle, Dr. Affo raised his head from the page of the document in his hand.

"The current situation is only semi-official information. I think it may take until the local area and conduct a sufficient investigation before corresponding measures can be formulated."

As the director of the Ming Dynasty Health Department, he is trying his best to recall information related to the plague. There are too many such information. However, the Ming Dynasty has not experienced such things since the Xingqian period. All the information is just written records in the book.

"Director Ai said very much, and it is difficult to make a decision immediately without understanding the local situation."

Dr. Huo Tianqi said from the side.

Dr. Zhang Yantie nodded in agreement.

"Yes, all decisions are made based on the situation, not blindly."

Listening to the words of these people, Zhu Mingzhong's brows suddenly frowned and interrupted.

"What is blind formulation? You are all doctors of medicine and experts and scholars. Don't you know what kind of disease is plague? The fatal rate of this disease is almost 100%. In this case, it will continue. Now every day you delay, it may expand its spread by hundreds or thousands of miles, and it may infect more people and kill more people. Maybe, just as we talk, more people are already infected!"

"Mr. Zhu, this has never happened to the Ming Dynasty..."

Ai Fu's tone was dissatisfied.

Huo Tianqi also frowned and said.

"That is, we now have no other official information except this report from the Duke of Qian."

“This report is also official!”

Zhu Jianyu said coldly.

"Don't forget that the Duke of Qian is the governor of the southwest, and he is also an official of the court!"

The Duke of Qian was different from ordinary ministers. Although he was located in the southwest, he had been a close minister of the royal family for many years and had always been deeply trusted by the royal family. Although this trust is not unconditional, it is far superior to other people.

The prince's reprimand made Huo Tianqi realize his misunderstanding. He immediately realized the difference between the Mu family in the Ming Dynasty, so he forced a smile.

"Yes, yes, I have made a mistake. Please forgive me!"

"Now there is no sin or unsincere. What I need now is a solution to the problem."

Faced with such inquiry, no one answered. Aifu took off his glasses, raised them to the light, wiped them, and put them on again. Huo Tianqi lowered his head in contemplation and stared down at the carpet. Zhang Yantie was holding a teacup there without saying a word.

Although he was a little dissatisfied, Zhu Jianyu tried his best to keep his restrainedness, and then he turned his attention to "Zhu Minghe". In fact, even until now, he didn't understand why he decided to bring this young man with him. Is it just because of his scruples?

His eyes were staring at the young man. Zhu Jianyu thought for a while and asked.

"Minghe, do you have any solutions?"

Zhu Jianyu's tone seemed very close, which made Ai Fu and others wonder in their hearts, thinking about Zhu Ming and his relationship with the palace.

"Closing the city!"

Faced with Zhu Jianyu's inquiry, Zhu Mingzhong directly expressed his suggestions.

"Closed?"

"Yes, not just Kunming, every city where plague patients are found must be closed immediately, and people are absolutely prohibited from going out! Also, it is to cut off water, land, air and transportation!"

"This is impossible. Isn't this a prison? Although the southwest has a small population, there are millions of people."

"That's right, every city... do you know how many cities have discovered plague so far? The city lockdown is easy."

"Oh, now, we have gathered information from all over the country. That is to say, according to the materials I have seen on hand, more than 107 places have been found in the disease so far."

In order to refute Zhu Minghe, Zhang Yantie glanced at the newspaper and said.

"Do you know, do you have those cities? There are four provincial governments alone..."

"right."

Zhu Mingzhong nodded heavily and then said in a deep voice.

"It is because of this that the city needs to be closed down! The transmission route of the plague must be completely cut off. Otherwise, then it will not be four provincial governments, but all the prefectures and cities of the Ming Dynasty! Don't forget that during the Chongzhen period, the plague epidemic caused nine out of ten rooms in the capital, and one hundred people in the Beijing camp. If everything is not done to cut off its transmission route, the disaster during the Chongzhen period will happen again!"

After giving his own judgment, Zhu Mingzhong turned his eyes to Zhu Jianyu, and then he said again.

“If you don’t make a decision as soon as possible, the harm and impact it will only bring greater.”

Faced with his suggestion, Zhu Jianyu did not speak, but just pondered silently.

Then, he turned his eyes to his staff, and even Li looked a little tired, but he still nodded gently to express his agreement.

"Oh well,"

Zhu Jianyu said, and then he turned his eyes to Zhu Minghe and asked.

"What do you recommend?"

"Send the army!"

Zhu Mingzhong directly suggested.

"The army shall implement the alert and those who violate military orders shall be punished at once!"

"At one-rate severe punishment? What should I do if the people's lives are mobilized? And what if so many troops are mobilized, what if civil unrest arouses?"

"And, such a lockdown will inevitably cause panic among the people with the plague. What should I do then?"

"Now is not the time to consider these issues. The problem now is that if we allow it to continue to spread, the disasters during the Chongzhen period will happen again, which is unbearable for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Mingzhong stared at them in front of him coldly and said.

"I understand, I will be in Kunming in another hour."

He then glanced out the window and said in a slow tone.

"Now, you guys prepare a plan for me..."

He only said half of the words, and then Zhu Jianyu said again.

"Send a telegram to the Southwest Governor's Office to tell them to take the action plan before getting off the plane."

Sometimes, it is difficult and also very simple to make some decisions. For Zhu Jianyu, he can easily make some decisions without the consent of the cabinet. After all, he was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the governor who was in power with the emperor, but this decision was also difficult. After all, this decision was never made by anyone in the past.

"Interesting," he turned his eyes to Zhu Mingzhong, and Zhu Jianyu thought with thoughtfulness.

"Why did you agree with his suggestion without even thinking about it? Is it just because of your trust in him?"

Perhaps, it is this kind of trust.

"Your Highness, I think the suggestion of locking down the city is extremely inappropriate."

Once again, Ai Fu interrupted Zhu Jianyu's contemplation and said.

"After all, this involves more than 100 cities and many villages. If such a large area is closed, it may be difficult to implement it in the short term even if the army is dispatched..."

"Then do you have any good solutions?"

Zhu Jianyu asked back.

"What we need now is to block its spread, to keep it in the current area and not spread further. If you have other better ways, you can tell it out!"

Faced with the prince's remarks, Aifu fell silent. He had no good idea. Even as the director of the General Administration of Health, he never considered similar or disease transmission. Even more than ten years ago, before he became the director of the General Administration of Health, he had declared more than once that "plague, cholera has disappeared in the Ming Dynasty, and they will never be staged again in the Ming Dynasty." Back then, he said a lot of reasons. Now, the disease that has been staged again tells him an iron-like fact-the plague has made a comeback again.

"Okay, let's continue to discuss the issues that the plane needs to face after arriving in Kunming."

Zhu Jianyu ignored Ai Fu's embarrassment. He didn't care about this guy at all. He even had an idea in his mind - to replace someone.

"The question now is how we treat those who are sick and reduce mortality."

Zhu Jianyu raised his head and asked Ai Fu.

“Is there any medicine for this?”

"No, no, after all, it hasn't been around for more than a hundred years... But before I came, I had notified various pharmaceutical companies and told them..."

"Enough, after the plane lands, you can resign yourself! Stay at home and wait for the dereliction of duty for the envoy to be prosecuted!"

Ignoring others' surprise, Zhu Jianyu stood up, pulled his shoulder back, relaxed his stiff muscles, and stared at the other people in the cabin.

"You guys have to know,"

Zhu Jianyu's tone became cold.
