Chen Qing stood at the head of Liaoyang City, looking at the quiet streets in the city. There was no one in the streets and alleys. Who would have thought that this big city is home to 20,000 households, nearly 120,000 people, and every household is staying at home in isolation.
.
Fortunately, it has been eleven days, and except for the first day when more than 50 households had sick patients and were sent away, no one has been sick since then.
There are cavalry patrolling the streets in the distance. All the cavalry wear masks and hold rejection spears. The advantage of this kind of spear is that it prevents people from approaching them, so it is called a rejection spear.
All the fortresses in the city were demolished, exposing patches of open space, and the city gates were renovated. Chen Qing took a fancy to the strength of Liaoyang City and planned to use it as their garrison center.
At this time, Zhang Xiao stepped forward and saluted, "See you, Your Highness!"
"Thank you for your hard work in participating in politics. How is the situation in Wangping County?"
Wangping County is an isolation camp, and all the patients live there. The only ones who can take care of the patients are their own family members. They can only distribute decoctions and medicines to the patients' families, and it can be said that they are left to fend for themselves.
"The situation is very bad. Seventy people have died, and the remaining three people have also been infected with the disease. The decoction can only prevent it, but has no therapeutic effect."
Chen Qing doesn’t know what disease is currently breaking out. Judging from the situation, most of the patients suffer from severe diarrhea and eventually die of dehydration. It should be cholera. In fact, breathing is not contagious, but saliva is. As long as you bring it with you
Wear a mask, don't touch the patient's belongings, and don't drink boiled water. Basically, you won't get infected.
This is also the reason why many people had difficulty escaping all the way and were not infected along the way. They all boiled water to drink. It was probably the doctors from the Jin Kingdom who taught them this. They did a good job in this.
Chen Qing nodded, "Next, follow Dr. Zhou's method to build a large camp and divide it into two. The patient will live on one side and the patient's family will live on the other side. The patient's family will take care of the patient and try not to come into contact with them. They will all use small tents.
Wangping County, when everything is over, it will be completely burned down."
"I understand, when will Your Highness return?"
Chen Qing sighed, "Just two more days!"
The war could not be fought for a while. Both sides were fighting the virus separately. The Western Army also took this opportunity to relocate the people of the Jin Kingdom. Without the population, the Jin Kingdom would be destroyed.
At this time, some families in the city began to go out, carrying large and small bags and wearing masks. There were probably hundreds of people, escorted by soldiers and walking out of the city. These were families whose ten-day quarantine had expired. They were not sick, and they were going to go
Take a boat at the Liaohe Pier outside the city and send them to the transshipment camp in the Western Liaoning Corridor, and then send them to the Shandong Peninsula in batches.
Zhang Xiao praised: "It's so well organized! We board the ship in batches so that there will be no crowds and contact. Your Highness is really thoughtful."
Chen Qing said calmly: "Although I made the plan, the key is to implement it effectively. Thanks to the ability of the officials and soldiers, they are the major contributors."
After one group of people left, the second group of people went out again, another four to five hundred people. They will take the second large ship to the Liaoxi Corridor. It is indeed very orderly.
At this time, Sima Qian Jun stepped forward and saluted, "The remaining more than a thousand households have only been observed for nine days. Should we send them all away?"
Nine days is actually enough. According to the information they understand, symptoms usually occur two or three days after infection. If no symptoms occur within nine days, you can basically be sure that you are not infected.
Chen Qing nodded, "Send them away together! Then there will be no need to bring in new people in Liaoyang City. After thorough disinfection, let the soldiers live in it after a month of drying."
"I humbly obey orders!"
Sima Qian Jun hurried away. Chen Qing looked at his back and nodded: "This Qian Sima is good, very capable, and worthy of reuse!"
According to the division of labor, Zhang Xiao is in charge of Shenzhou City and Wangping City, and Chen Qing is in charge of Liaoyang City. However, Chen Qing is the lord, and he is only in charge of Liaoyang City in name, while Sima Qianjun is actually in charge.
Zhang Xiao secretly nodded. Qian Jun seized this opportunity. It was Qian Jun's luck to be able to show his ability under the eyes of King Yong.
After following him for many years, Zhang Xiao knew King Yong very well. He knew that King Yong valued ability rather than talent and learning.
Just like Pei Wenjin, who ranked first in the imperial examination the year before last, his articles were very impressive, but his abilities were average. He made a big mistake when he moved last time. King Yong finally decided to transfer him to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although Qian Jun was only from Lin'an Imperial College, he However, he was extremely capable and was highly valued by King Yong. Zhang Xiao then smiled and said: "When Your Highness goes back, Qian Sima will stay and be my deputy!"
Chen Qing nodded and said: "Hu Yun is in charge of Yanshan Road, and I feel more at ease. I have asked Lu Qingshan to change his route to Shandong Road. He needs to be in charge there. The epidemic here in Liaodong is the most difficult, so I asked him to participate in political affairs." Got it!"
In the afternoon of that day, Chen Qing took hundreds of soldiers by boat from Liaohe River to Hebei. Hundreds of large-scale ships played a great role here.
Three days later, Chen Qing arrived in Pingzhou. At the seaport of Pingzhou, various supplies, medicinal materials and food were piled up. This was the arrival of supplies sent by Jingzhao.
From the seaport to the west is an endless wilderness, but at this time the wilderness is full of tents. This is the real transfer area, where the people of the Jin Kingdom are transferred to various states and counties.
Hu Yun got the news and rushed to the seaport to welcome the arrival of His Highness King Yong.
"Your Majesty, please see me for your humble position!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hu!"
Chen Qing stepped off the ship and said with a smile: "I feel relieved to see Hu Yun here!"
Hu Yun has obviously lost a lot of weight, and it can be seen that he has been working very hard recently.
Hu Yun smiled bitterly, "Although I am a little tired, I still feel a sense of accomplishment!"
Chen Qing sat in a carriage and went to the camp to inspect. He asked Hu Yun to get on the carriage and report.
Chen Qing took a sip of hot tea and asked, "Where are you now?"
"Officials have gradually introduced the Jin people to their own counties. It is not easy to convince them!"
"Why?"
Hu Yun smiled bitterly, "The officials couldn't understand why the people of the Jin Kingdom returned fifty acres of official land. I called them together in a humble position, and it was difficult to convince them."
"How did you convince them?"
"In accordance with His Highness's instructions, tell them that if these people of the Jin Kingdom are enslaved, they will flee back sooner or later. On the contrary, with the land, they have worries and a destination, and most people will not go back again, and they all It’s women and children, what are you worried about?”
Chen Qing nodded, "No matter how you deal with any regime, you must use two methods, one political and one military. Military methods must be cruel and kill them all, while political methods must be gentle. Therefore, we use military methods against the nobles and the army of the Jin Kingdom. To deal with the women and children of the Jin Kingdom, use gentle means. This is called a stick plus a carrot. This is the long-term solution."
Hu Yun hesitated and then said: "Your Highness, I would like to suggest that the transfer of the fifty acres of land given to them can be restricted. Otherwise, they will have to pay for traveling home after selling the land."
"It makes sense. It can be treated as Yongye Field and cannot be transferred within three generations."
"This is what humble positions mean, and officials also have this idea. It's okay to give them land, but they are afraid of selling it."
Chen Qing nodded, "You are the chief officer of Yanshan Road, you make the arrangements!"
The transfer operation in Pingzhou is different from the transfer operation in the Liaoxi Corridor. The camp in the Liaoxi Corridor is called a rehabilitation camp to the outside world. Only after it is completely confirmed that there is no disease can you enter Yanshan Road and be arranged to the county in Pingzhou.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the Jin Kingdom were afraid of the plague, so they could only obey King Yong's arrangements, or in other words, let fate dictate.
There are more than 200,000 people transferred to Pingzhou, all of whom came from the southern part of the Jin Kingdom and Daning Prefecture. These people are divided into dozens of small camps. Each small camp is the county they are going to. There are officials who provide
They registered, issued identity cards, and gave them food and daily necessities.
When Chen Qing arrived, he happened to encounter people from a county getting on a cart and setting off in a mighty manner. There was a flag on the cart with the word "Lu County" written on it. These were the people going to Lu County, Daxing Prefecture. A total of
More than 400 households were divided into more than 300 carts, escorted by 200 cavalry.
These people are basically old, weak, women and children. Even if there are men, they are too old. It is not surprising that almost all the young and strong men of the Jin Kingdom were conscripted. Only some slightly younger men were killed by the Western Army because of the riots.
The remaining old, weak, women and children have no ability to resist at all.
