Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 424
Things are going extremely well.The grain brought back by the soldiers from Jingnan temporarily solved the food shortage crisis, and the exiled people were able to settle down in the temporary shelter established by the post station.

In order to prevent the spread of the plague, Feng Qingyao ordered people to gather Artemisia annua and burn it around the stations.

In addition, she also found limestone on a nearby mountain.Limestone soaked in water will burst into great heat, which can prevent virus infection.It was March, and Artemisia annua was extremely difficult to find. This discovery just made up for the lack of Artemisia annua.

Zhan Ying led the soldiers into the villages to clean up the bodies of people and livestock who died due to the floods, cremated them and buried them deeply, and disinfected the villages with limestone.

Five days have passed, and some villages have returned to normal.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the epidemic, Mo Zhanhua did not repatriate the people immediately, but asked them to wait for a while until the village was completely cleaned up before moving back to live.Zhan Ying led the soldiers to continue to advance towards the border. As the mountain torrents rushed down from Jingnan, the further north they went, the more serious the mud and dirt left by the flood would be, and the more difficult it would be to clean up.

Younger men among the victims volunteered to join the ranks of soldiers to rebuild their homes together.

Feng Qingyao thought it was feasible, so she discussed with Mo Zhanhua.

"The number of soldiers is limited. Even if they work day and night, it will be difficult to restore the abandoned village to its original state in a short period of time. If more manpower is used, the progress will always be faster than it is now." Feng Qingyao said.

After Mo Zhan Hualue thought about it, he felt that what she said was reasonable, so he agreed.

After counting, there were as many as a hundred people.

"This king will take them to Li County, and you will stay at the station, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." Standing in front of the crowd, Mo Zhanhua said softly to Feng Qingyao.Li County is at the foot of the mountain where the flash flood broke out, and almost the entire village was washed away by the torrent.Now Zhanying is leading people there to clean up the silt and dispose of the corpses buried in the silt.

That was the place where the plague first broke out, and he was worried about Feng Qingyao going there.

Feng Qingyao didn't fight for it, and smiled softly, "Then it will be hard work for the lord." She took out some black veils and distributed them to everyone, and said loudly: "I don't know how the situation in Li County is, please use black veils to cover your mouth and nose to avoid Take advantage of the unclean air."

Everything was ready, and when he was about to leave, suddenly a man dressed as a young general rushed into the yard, "My lord, it's not good!"

He ran in in a panic, with some wounds from the fight on his body.

"What's going on?" Mo Zhanhua was startled.This young general is in charge of settling down the common people in another station.

"The post, the post, the people have rebelled." The young general replied out of breath, "They want to rob rice and food, and they can't be persuaded no matter how hard they try to persuade them, they will not even beat us, but they will also move all the food away." What is this is the relief food distributed to them by the imperial court, we can't let it be ruined."

He said, gasping for breath.

"Take me there!"

"Yes."

The two walked towards the door quickly, and after a few steps, Mo Zhanhua remembered that there were still many people waiting here, so he stopped and said, "Yaoer, I will go and have a look first, when I come back , and take them to Li County."

"You go, I'm here." Feng Qingyao said.

Mo Zhanhua followed the young general, and quickly walked out of the yard of the post station.

After he left, the remaining hundred people still had high morale and decided to set off when he came back.

But after waiting and waiting, there was no movement for a long time, so they couldn't wait any longer.

"Lord Qing, we are familiar with the way to Li County, why don't we go by ourselves." One of them said.
