Chapter 221: At first glance, there is a genetic disease
The medicine is indeed effective. The condition of the patient suffering from tuberculosis has been controlled. He only needs to take the medicine for half a month to completely suppress the infection. After that, he only needs to use ordinary medicine for another half a year to completely eradicate the disease.
This is a happy thing for everyone.
Now that the refugees have been resettled, and Ye Yibai and Hua Yanxi have brought food from various places, the problem of food and clothing has been temporarily solved.
They can return to their homes as long as the dams downstream are built to control floods. As for those whose homes were destroyed, they will temporarily live there according to their household registration. They can become manpower until they make their next plan.
Coincidentally, although the refugee was hiding the fact that he was suffering from tuberculosis, it somehow got out.
Yongcheng is the largest city in Qixia County, and it is also the place where Hua Yanxi arrived at her last stop.
As soon as I arrived at the government office to check on the sick people, I heard something happened at the resettlement area.
It turned out that the news leaked out and these people learned that some of the refugees were suffering from tuberculosis. They were frightened, and then they started shouting to drive the refugees out of the city.
The common people spontaneously organized 700 to 800 people, and all rushed into the refugee resettlement area, smashing the inside, and even the temporary porridge shed was chopped down with an axe.
These people came prepared one by one, and they were all young and middle-aged with sticks in their hands. In comparison, the refugees here were mostly old, weak, sick and disabled people with yellow faces and skinny muscles, who were pressed and beaten for a while.
After arriving at the scene, Zhao Kuo quickly asked the officers to stop them and protect the refugees behind him. However, those people beat them up, and they were all very arrogant. They threatened that if the refugees did not leave, they would go and smash the government offices next.
.
These people, relying on the officers, only dared to stop but did not dare to take action. They were extremely arrogant.
"Who are these people?" Hua Yanxi saw that these people were dressed much better than ordinary people.
Zhao Kuo said: "Many of these people are from the Yongcheng Chamber of Commerce. They have a good relationship with Mr. Liang. The leader is the son of the steward of the chamber of commerce, named Zhao Quan."
Hearing this, Hua Yanxi glanced at him.
Zhao Kuo said with shame: "He and I are distant relatives, and my mother is the sister in charge, but our two families have not been in contact for more than ten years."
"Then let's tie up this guy named Zhao Quan first."
"Fifth Princess, I'm afraid it won't work. It's true that Zhao Quan is the instigator this time, but now a lot of food in Yongcheng is borrowed from the Yongcheng Chamber of Commerce. If I offend Zhao Quan, I'm afraid
It’s hard to explain to the Yongcheng Chamber of Commerce.”
Ye Yibai heard this and sneered: "Now he has offended me, Si, take action!"
When the guards who had been guarding him heard this, they jumped up, grabbed Zhao Quan with their hands, tied him up and knelt on the ground.
When the people who gathered to make trouble saw their leader being tied up, they held sticks in their hands and did not dare to step forward for a while, and the two sides began to confront each other.
Before Zhao Quan realized what was happening, he was already unable to move and began to curse: "Who dares to tie up your grandfather? Do you know who my father is!"
"Isn't your father just a manager of the chamber of commerce? Is it possible that he can be bigger than the government?" Hua Yanxi walked out of the crowd and walked straight to Zhao Quan.
Zhao Quan did not feel that he was not worried at all, but sneered: "If you offend me, you will offend the entire chamber of commerce. Your government still has to beg us to lend you food. If you dare to do anything to me, I will ask my father to
Put the IOU on the gate of the government office, so that all the people in the city can come and see how your government is begging us to borrow food."
Hua Yanxi felt strange when she heard his arrogant words, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Kuo: "Shouldn't there be a spare granary in Yongcheng? Where is the food in it?"
Zhao Kuo smiled bitterly and said: "Yongcheng does fill up the granary after collecting taxes every year. Master Keliang secretly colludes with the Chamber of Commerce in Yongcheng to resell grain. Now the granary has long been empty."
Hua Yanxi suddenly realized that it turned out that the government and businessmen colluded to resell and divide the spare grain. Now that the grain is gone, they are borrowing grain from others. It is really hard to work hard with a sheep.
When Zhao Quan heard this, he glared at Zhao Kuo: "Don't talk nonsense. You have to provide evidence when you speak. Our chamber of commerce does business with integrity."
"Then let me ask you, if this doesn't happen, where is the food in the spare granary?"
"How do I know? I'm not from the government. We are here to protect our rights and interests." As he spoke, Zhao Quan looked at the crowd and said, "Don't be fooled by them. Their government only wants to resettle the refugees and ignore us."
You don’t care about the lives of the people in the city!”
When the people heard this, they became angry one by one and started shouting to drive these refugees out.
Now is indeed not the time to resolve the collusion between government and business, we can only resettle the refugees first.
Hua Yanxi said: "These refugees have been in the city for more than ten days. If any of you Yongcheng people are infected with tuberculosis, please come forward."
The people looked at each other in shock, but no one stood up for a while.
"If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. It can be infected. You breathe the same air with these refugees every day. Who knows when you are unlucky enough to get infected? Aren't you kidding us with our lives? Could it be that you really have to wait until we
Is it the end after being infected?" Zhao Quan said loudly.
"Yes, that's right, we don't want to join them. They themselves have been unlucky enough to suffer disaster, so why should they come to harm us!"
"That's right, your government doesn't want to drive these refugees out to protect us, but lets them in with us. If any of them become restless and come out to approach us, who can guarantee our safety!"
"Kick them out, kick them out!"
One by one they were waving sticks and shouting.
Hua Yanxi asked: "Who are you all?"
"We are locals from Yongcheng." someone said.
"Wrong." Hua Yanxi glanced at the man coldly: "You are all people of Da Chu. The land you are standing on belongs to Da Chu. We are all people of Da Chu. Why can you live here?
, they can’t? Which law, which provision, or who among you can represent it?”
Zhao Quan was about to speak when he was knocked unconscious with a slap.
Someone whispered: "But some of them have infectious diseases and will infect us."
"Who said it, who made the diagnosis? Do you have a doctor among you? Take a good look. Apart from being starved of food and sleeping in the open air, they look sallow and thin. Who of them seems to be sick? How can those who are sick be like this?
Standing here and being beaten by you?"
"Not now, who knows if there will be in the future." Someone in the crowd whispered.
Hua Yanxi immediately looked at the man: "You have a black hair, you are short, and you have a genetic disease. If you don't want to die, it's best to stay away."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the person who spoke and immediately stepped back a few steps away from him, leaving a circle with him as the center.
