Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 47 The Plague Outbreak

Chapter 47 The Plague Outbreak
Although the ministers didn't say anything, they were all guessing in their hearts:
"" The emperor jingled poorly, where did he get the money? "

How did they know that Zhu Youjian had confiscated tens of millions of taels of silver from those corrupt and soft-boned homes, so how could they care about the small amount of money for the capital's disaster relief.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhu Youjian detected their thoughts, didn't care, got up slowly and said:
"As an official of the people's parents, I, an official of the Ming Dynasty, must go to the people regularly to observe the people's conditions, but I can't notify in advance, I can only visit privately. Now you take me down to inspect it."

Seeing that the emperor was going to the people, all the officials were worried about his dragon body, so they all stepped forward to comfort him:
"Your majesty can't do it right now, but you can go down as a humble minister. It's not safe outside, so you can't take risks."

"It's okay, don't talk too much, act now."

"Ministry of obedience"

In this way, the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty left the imperial city and walked to the streets of the capital. In order not to disturb the people, Zhu Youjian only brought Ah Qingyu Huatian and Fifty Jin Yiwei.

The prosperous capital in the past has completely overturned Zhu Youjian's cognition today. Although there are some pedestrians on the street in broad daylight, most of them have sallow faces and staggering steps.

Many shops along the street were closed, and there were many homeless refugees lying under the eaves of the shops. Seeing a group of officials approaching, they stretched out their hands one after another:
"My lord, help us, give us a bite to eat, there are not many people in the family."

Zhu Youjian frowned, and his heart was sore. As a modern society traveler, he couldn't imagine how these people survived.

He waved his hand and asked Jin Yiwei to follow far behind, and walked towards a child who was about to die. The child was in the arms of the old man, and the old man's eyes were full of tears, but she could do nothing.

Bending down and grabbing the child's wrist, a gust of internal energy entered the child's body. Zhu Youjian found that the child had no other problems, obviously lack of nutrition and hunger.

"Yuhuatian, go ahead and buy some buns, the more the better."

"obey"

Yuhuatian agreed, and led five or six Jinyiwei to buy buns. Zhu Youjian turned back and asked the old man:

"Old man, how long has this child not had enough to eat?"

"Hey, what is full food? He hasn't had enough food since he was born, so he can barely survive. This time, he hasn't eaten a single grain of rice for two consecutive days."

The old man spoke weakly, his arms that had no flesh at all, could no longer hold the child and gradually softened.

"Old man, is there anyone else in the family? How can you take good care of children at your age."

The old man shook his head weakly:
"They all died, either from starvation or from the plague."

Zhu Youjian only felt that his eyes wanted to turn red, and when he looked back at the ministers behind him, he found that their eyes were also red.

"Your Majesty, the buns are here. All the buns on this street are here."

Soon Yuhuatian and others arrived, bringing several baskets of buns. As soon as they arrived, many refugees surrounded them, stretching out their dirty hands.

Due to the majesty of these Jinyiwei, the refugees have not dared to snatch them for the time being.

"Everyone, don't worry, I will send someone to distribute it to you in a while."

Zhu Youjian took five steamed buns to the old man, waved to Yuhuatian, and asked him to distribute the remaining steamed stuffed buns to the refugees.

"Ma'am give you buns, eat slowly, don't choke, you will have something to eat tomorrow."

As Zhu Youjian said, he slowly got up and walked towards a house.

Although the house was not bad, the door was wide open, and no one was even walking around. He waved his hand to stop the officials from entering, and Zhu Youjian walked in alone.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhu Youjian's eyes widened, and he was completely shocked by the tragedy inside.

In order to protect the host, the system has strengthened Zhu Youjian's physical functions, and he is immune to poisons and infectious diseases.

Hearing the old man talk about the plague, Zhu Youjian decided to take a look nearby. Just in case, he would definitely not let the ministers and Ah Qing and others accompany him.

It was a good room, but it was a mess inside, with five people lying here and there, including men, women, and children.

Zhu Youjian had an ominous premonition. He stepped forward and saw that they were all dead, and there was still a lot of vomit left around these people.

With a thought, with a long sword in his hand, he gently lifted the shirts of several people, and there were obvious bruises and bleeding on the skin.

"Fuck, it really is the plague. No one in the whole family survived the infection. Is the death rate of the plague so high?"

In order to prove his idea, Zhu Youjian went into several families in a row. Most of the families no longer exist. Only a small number of people are alive, but they are obviously infected.

Judging from the tragic situation in front of us, the nearby area must be severely infected by the plague and must be sealed off immediately.

But if you do that, you need a certain amount of troops to deal with it. In case the soldiers are infected again, it will be dangerous when the Dongren army comes to attack.

At this time, Zhu Youjian pinned his hopes on the system:
"System, I would like to ask a question, will the army summoned by the system be infected by the plague?"

"Ding, just like the host, their physical functions and settings have been strengthened, so they won't be infected."

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed:

"Damn it, thank God."

Li Banghua, Qi Jiguang, Ah Qing and the others became worried when they saw that the emperor had entered the private house and hadn't come out for a long time.

Wanting to see what's going on, but also worried that disobeying the Holy Majesty's will would make the Emperor unhappy, everyone was anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Just when everyone was about to ask Ah Qing to investigate quietly, Zhu Youjian walked out of the residential area with a sad face.

Everyone hurried forward and asked:

"Your Majesty, what's going on, did you find something?"

Zhu Youjian nodded:
"Quick, you guys leave here immediately, go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and wait for me, don't linger, Yuhuatian and I will go to the three camps together."

"This... I obey the order"

Although everyone didn't understand what was going on, and they didn't dare to disobey the order, they agreed and left in a hurry, while Zhu Youjian and Yu Huatian hurried to the three camps.

Now Zhu Youjian seems to have figured out one thing, why there is no resistance when the rogues entered the capital, there must be unknown reasons.

The two of them stepped forward and used their lightness kung fu to the limit, like two flying men. After half a stick of incense, their figures appeared in the original three camps.

As an important base for urban defense in the capital, the three major battalions didn't even have a single guard.

Zhu Youjian exchanged some masks in the system, gave one to Yuhuatian, and stored the rest in the system warehouse.

"Yuhuatian, take this with you."

"Your Majesty, what is this, how to wear it, and where to wear it?"

Yu Huatian took the mask and was stupefied at the time, he didn't know what it was, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but chuckle:
"Hang the straps on your ears and cover your mouth. There are viruses here that can be transmitted."

"Oh, I obey."
