C266 Outbreak(4)

"Yes, this subject is the same."

"This subject also requests that Your Majesty reconsider …"

These civil and military officials were mostly living in the underworld. If they were to drag their children into the inner city, who knew how many family members they would have, they would definitely not be able to place them in the inner city. However, if they were allowed to enter and exit the city, even if they were strictly inspected every day, it would be difficult to guarantee that they wouldn't bring the disease into the inner city.

Cheng Dong took a step forward, bowed and said: "This subject believes that rather than strictly controlling the movement of people, it is better to find a solution as soon as possible. If there is a medicine that can cure the disease, it is more effective than this."

Cheng had been promoted to the position of assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry soon after he was revived from the last time. Bai Wanqing claimed that he was a good friend with the great achievements of Chiyue's water treatment.

"In addition, simple fortifications should be set up in the epidemic area of the outer city. The infected and suspected contenders should be placed there. The residences of these two groups of people should also be separated so as to avoid miscalculation." His proposal was to build a project, even if it was the simplest one, it would have to be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Industry.

The emperor thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll leave this matter to my beloved official Cheng." In his heart, he felt that even though the new assistant minister was young, he was still calm and composed. With a wave of his pen, he drew out the money and sent it to the Ministry of Revenue to collect the silver taels.

"For this epidemic, the Yan King has full authority to handle it, including the matter regarding Minister Cheng's construction. It also needs to be reported to the Yan King, who will supervise the construction." The emperor ordered the imperial hospital to send out two imperial doctors to the people, to discuss with the famous doctors before the treatment of the epidemic.

Not long after he left the imperial court, there were many guests inside the secret chamber. When this matter was brought up, everyone felt that it was extremely troublesome, affecting their entry into and exit from the city.

"Speaking of which, why is the complete authority of the emperor given to King Yan? Simply to say, the Ministry of Industry had set up a simple fortification to prevent the outbreak of the disease and reduce the disaster, yet the Emperor didn't trust him and even sent King Yan to supervise the construction? The Yan King didn't know anything about fortifications, so he didn't know anything about fortifications. He was clearly asking him to monitor Uncle Bai Wanqing's uncles.

Prince Yi smiled slowly. "I'm afraid that Minister Cheng is too young and inexperienced. That makes sense."

"I'm afraid the Yan King should make use of this opportunity to make a fortune." In the history of the imperial court, Han Yifei gently smiled, but the words he said were very spicy.

"If he's going to fish for it, that's fine too. I'm afraid he won't fall for it." Prince Yi laughed again and shook his head.

Although Xiao Yi Jin wasn't particularly fond of the Emperor, but he was the only one that was suppressed and deposed by the princes. Even though he had been slightly implicated in the matter of Cheng Ying, after the exchange, the situation had turned out very well. He had washed himself white, and now he had the momentum of standing above all the princes.

The Emperor had entrusted him with this task, so it could be said that he was very trusting of Xiao Yi Jin. If Xiao Yi Jin was so blind as to try to rob him, he would be a little careless.

The prince needed money to manage his own family and influence. In fact, his monthly salary sounded quite impressive. In fact, he was actually raising a family of men and women to eat and die fighting. This amount of money was a drop in the bucket. As a result, the princes each secretly operated a few businesses, such as Imperial Concubine Lan's Star-Moon Gambling Workshop, Empress Xin's Flower Pavilion, and the Clothing Manor of the Palace of the Twilight Prince.

It was a pity that the princes were not able to win him over, and this was a good opportunity for Xiao Yijin. Whether he would be able to take down the plane or just make use of this chance to make a profit, it all depended on his foresight.

Xiao Ling Fei looked at Xiao Yi Xiu with a smile on his face. His eyes flickered as he asked, "Are you trustworthy?"

"Don't worry, although Cheng Wan is young, he is not stupid. As for Bai Wanqing — "Xiao Yi Xiu smiled. That seemingly neutral and upright Minister of the Department of Revenue was actually not as simple as he seemed. If he was honest and refused to stand with any Imperial Party, he probably wouldn't be able to hold his current position.

He was still very good at avoiding important issues and putting on an act of feigning camaraderie.

Xiao Yi Xiu had saved Cheng Qi, and Bai Wanqing was extremely grateful and respectful towards him. However, even so, he was still unable to completely subdue this person. Bai Wanqing had only agreed to let the Chi Yue Shang, Jia Zhenfeng, mine the mines, and had repaid them for this matter. He had cut ties with Xiao Yixiu, and had returned to his neutral position as the Minister of Industry.

Xiao Lingfei joked that Bai Wanqing was an old fox who would wander the world forever. He would not offend or submit to anyone; he would protect his own philosophy.

"Oh, right. Where's Princess Mo?" Finally, someone noticed that there was one less person in the secret chamber.

Xiao Yi Xiu replied, "She left the inner city and went to the outer city to look for a cure."

"What?" Even Xiao Lingfei was taken aback. "You actually let that delicate little wangfei of yours take the risk? Aren't you afraid that she might catch an epidemic? "

"She will pay attention. I just hope that she can find a way to deal with this epidemic as soon as possible."

Everyone in the secret chamber knew of Gu Qingli's identity as' Li Yue. 'However, they hadn't expected that their beloved wife, Xiao Yixiu, would actually be willing to risk his precious wangfei.

Gu Qingli, on the other hand, didn't care at all. She changed back into the red gauze covering Li Yue and sewed a pair of deerskin gloves for herself. She had a very good defense.

It was very quiet outside the city, since Jing Zhaoyin had received the imperial edict and sent orders to the towns and cities. Unless it was absolutely necessary, all the businesses along the streets were suspended, and all the wealthy families closed their doors.

When they reached the west gate, they heard some noise. Gu Qing Li looked into the distance and noticed that it was a group of imperial soldiers. They were under martial law and didn't allow anyone to enter or leave.

It was a crowded area. There were a lot of residents and merchants near the bustling streets of the outer city, and there were also a lot of farmers in the area. How could they withstand this kind of torture?

Many people began to complain and clamor, demanding that they be allowed to go out to work and land.

Gu Qing Li watched on from the sidelines for a while. It was obvious that the soldiers had received orders, and they carried it out in a violent and rough manner. They beat them with their weapons whenever there was any resistance, causing them to wail even more.

Although it could effectively control the spread of the epidemic disease, it couldn't solve the problem of people's livelihood. After all, most of the people in the epidemic area were normal people, and imprisoning them in the area not only affected their normal life, but also forced them to have no livelihood.

Cheng's suggestion was to separate the infected and the sick. This was very true, but Xiao Yi Jin had obviously exaggerated the scope and strength of the mission. In order to complete it perfectly, he didn't care about the lives and deaths of the people in the area.

The workers in the construction department were working day and night on the simple fortifications in the nearby areas. The place was full of noise and it was very disturbing.

Gu Qing Li thought for a moment. Currently, she couldn't change Xiao Yi Jin's order. Looking at those armored soldiers, they were the Fire Hou Battalion soldiers that had been guarding the inner city gates and investigating her. It seemed impossible to open a gap here.

She walked up and flashed the Mo King Manor's token as she said, "I am a doctor sent by Mo King to treat the plague. Can you let me pass?"
