Chapter 38: After the Great Disaster, the Great Epidemic
Wake up with a clear mind.
Qin Jinyang was going to go down the mountain. The gold leaves were stored in the bank and there was no interest. It was the right way to distribute them to those in need as soon as possible.
As soon as he arrived at the mountain gate, Qin Jinyang met Zhou Xiaosu.
"Old...Senior Brother Qin..."
Zhou Xiaosu's conditioned reflex was to come over and put an arm around his back, but he came to his senses in time and solemnly bowed with fists in his hands.
"Don't play coy for me, aren't you busy?"
Qin Jinyang kicked him over.
"Thank you... for letting us live again, for me, for my two sisters, thank you!"
Zhou Xiaosu bowed again.
"If you continue to be disgusting, I will sell you to a brothel."
Qin Jinyang smiled.
"Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Wang has something to do with you. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Zhou Xiaosu also smiled.
He is not qualified to go up, so he just waits here for Qin Jinyang. This is the task of serving as a disciple.
"Senior Brother Wang? Which Master Wang...Wang Jixiang..."
Qin Jinyang cried out in his heart, this official nickname was both refreshing and unaccustomed to him: "What do you want from me?" he asked again.
"I don't know...Senior Brother Qin, you are now the proud star of Yaoxing Hall. Don't smile playfully, which will damage your reputation and authority. You must keep a straight face at all times..."
Zhou Xiaosu led Qin Jinyang and spoke earnestly as he walked.
Disciples of the lower third hall are not allowed to set foot in the upper hall, and those who disobey orders will be punished with sticks.
But the disciples in the upper hall can enter the lower three halls at will.
…
"Senior Brother Qin, the 300 taels of silver from Chigu Town are here... Without further ado, you go find Hall Master Xu now."
Wang Jixiang opened a package and found sparkling snowflake silver inside.
"Why are you looking for him?" Qin Jinyang asked.
"Give me a gift...Although Xu Longjie may not necessarily value 300 Liang, it is the disciple's respect and an attitude."
"Actually, it's too late for you. It's just the people from Yao Xing Hall...the people who are most afraid of being squeezed out by you are the ones who can give gifts faster than you can."
Wang Jixiang sighed.
Qin Jinyang has a righteous character and is a good person, but he was born in a difficult background and is still not very understanding of the world.
"I heard that Hall Master Xu has a strong background and he doesn't care about this little bit of money, so let's forget it!"
Qin Jinyang frowned.
It’s not that he is reluctant to part with these 300 taels, it’s mainly because he rejects the act of giving gifts.
Just humble.
"Whether the background is strong or not is the hall master's business! Whether you give it away or not is your business... Hall Master Xu doesn't care about money, but he definitely cares about status. If you don't give it away, it is contempt."
Wang Jixiang's words were serious and serious, and it was written all over his face: You must go, this is not a joke.
…
[Tip: Dirty unspoken rules make people smooth, greasy, and have no edges. Young people should be vigorous. Are you willing to trample on the rules and give the power of role models to Xiao Wang? 】
…
"Old Wang, in broad daylight, we can become disciples of Helan Villa because of our foundation and strength, not these secret operations."
"A person's life depends on his ambition! I just don't believe in this crooked way. I only believe that God rewards hard work... As long as I work hard enough and am valuable enough, the hall master will never treat me differently... I won't give you this gift!
"
Qin Jinyang put away the money, with a resolute and innocent expression. He patted Wang Jixiang on the shoulder, and his whole body seemed to be on fire.
…
[Your ambition emits flames and is the only light in the dirty dye vat. It rewards potential 3 points. 】
…
Bai Jixiang looked at Qin Jinyang's back, his facial features twisted into a look of hesitation.
diligent?
God rewards hard work?
This is very passionate...and very innocent.
The long-term workers who farm the land are a hundred times more diligent than the landlords, but the long-term workers do not have enough to eat.
But Senior Brother Qin's character is really enviable.
…
This is a town relatively far away from the villa.
The locust plague was coupled with a flood. People's houses collapsed, and the fields were harvested. The streets were littered with undisposed corpses, some of which were already rotting. Crows and white flesh bugs fed on the carrion, which could be smelled even three miles away.
Pungent odor.
"After a major disaster comes a major epidemic. If these corpses are not disposed of, a catastrophe will happen!"
Qin Jinyang stood at the entrance of the town and frowned.
In the context of feudal imperial power, recorded major epidemics were rare, but that does not mean there were not many.
Ordinary people never have the opportunity to leave town or village in their lifetime, so the disease will not spread. Often, the epidemic will disappear as the whole village is wiped out.
…
[Tip: A major disaster will be followed by a major epidemic. Are you willing to spend all your savings and hire laborers to burn the bodies in time?]
…
Qin Jinyang walked into the town and found a few middle-aged men with yellow faces and skinny muscles. Although they were thin, they must have some strength after eating.
"Whoever can do the work, I will pay to dig holes and bury them... If there is food to eat, the more people, the better..."
Qin Jinyang shouted.
Soon, the team was formed, and there were still several large households in the town who could buy grain.
He even hired thugs from a gang of bullies. After all, the people were ignorant and some bodies would rather rot in the streets than be burned and buried.
At this time, the role of bullies is most vivid.
Common people dare to yell at good people and fight with poor people of the same class, but when faced with bullies, they are often like sheep.
Although the town is not big, there is not enough time to dispose of all the corpses in one day.
When the town had no monetary income, the branch of Helan Villa had also evacuated, and there was no one stationed there at all.
As for the government, it still did not have power in the county, only collecting taxes. Moreover, there were wars on the border of the dynasty, and there were rebels inside to disturb the country. The court was at a loss when it came to dealing with disasters. There were such disaster-stricken towns everywhere, and they couldn't control them at all.
As evening approaches, Qin Jinyang must return to the villa. Tomorrow Xu Longjie will test his martial arts mastery.
"Executive member Li, I believe you are a good person. If you keep this elixir, you can sell it for a lot of money... All corpses must be burned, every household must be investigated, and not a single corpse can be kept... Please
!”
Mr. Li is a kind person in the town, but he was powerless before. With Qin Jinyang's capital injection, he is now busy together.
Qin Jinyang had to leave, so he could only entrust Yuan Li to do it.
The bank was deserted, and he couldn't get the gold leaves. He could only take out the Wen Qi Pills. The secret medicine of the Villa was considered as hard currency. Mr. Li was a little older, but he was a first-grade warrior, so he could definitely sell it for money.
.
"This... this is the Wenqi Pill from Helan Villa... Little brother, if you dare to ask your name, I will go up the mountain to express my gratitude in the future..."
Li Yuanwai held the elixir in his hand with a shocked expression.
"The name is not worth mentioning, please dispose of the body as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Qin Jinyang left in a hurry.
"Little brother, on behalf of Li Yuzhen's hundreds of people, I would like to thank you for your grace... I didn't even leave my name. This is true benevolence!"
Mr. Li solemnly clasped his fists and murmured to himself: "I know people from Helan Villa, and I can definitely find out who you are. This is the real knight..."
…
Dozenji.
The imperial court recruited yamen who were experts in the martial arts world. They directly obeyed the orders of the emperor and were responsible for investigating the movements of people in the martial arts circles.
You can form a force and protect a land and water, but if anyone dares to have the intention of rebellion, Dozenji will definitely destroy it with thunder. Rebellious thieves are everywhere in the world, and all major forces are secretly supervised.
In addition to regulatory investigations, the Department also has to deal with some emergencies.
"Admiral, 100 miles away, Liyu Town suffered from floods, and corpses littered the fields. If the corpses are not disposed of, a major epidemic will occur... If the rebels take advantage of the plague, the border will be destabilized."
A third-level master came quickly.
"Immediately send the fastest scouts to organize the local gentry to burn the corpses! Also, notify the nearest sect to come and help... Those who have merit... will be rewarded!"
The admiral grimaced.
Among the rebels there were masters who practiced evil heretics, based on the plague, and the imperial court tried to extinguish the plague everywhere. However, there were years of wars, and they were often unable to do anything. The emperor was furious because of the rebels.
