Molested Zulong at the beginning

Sister Zheng put down the teacup in her hand, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Recently something happened in Han."

Bai Su frowned: "Could it be that someone rebelled?"

Sister Zheng shook her head slightly, her slender eyebrows furrowed tightly: "If it's just someone rebelling, that's fine. I'll just send soldiers and horses to calm it down. The troubles that Han land is facing now are more terrifying than the chaos."

Bai Su was stunned: "Your Majesty means..."

After pondering for a long time, Sister Zheng said, "Have you heard of smallpox?"

"smallpox!!!"

After hearing Sister Zheng's words, the pupils of everyone in the room shrank suddenly, and a layer of cold sweat rose from their backs.

Nowadays, in Zhongyuan, where the treatment conditions are backward, the name of smallpox is almost the same as that of Hades.

Whether you are poor or rich, whether you are a high-ranking official or a farmer, you are all equal before smallpox.

Many times, if you want to survive, you can only rely on God's will, luck, or even ghosts and gods.

In this place where the smallpox spread, often the entire city would almost die. The city that used to be full of flowers turned into a piece of white ground. Just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle.

Even Bai Su frowned after hearing this.

This kind of thing is really tricky. Sending [-] troops over there to maintain order, if it is not controlled well, all of these [-] soldiers will be infected with smallpox.

Then return with smallpox, the most populous place in Guanzhong, it will lead to an unprecedented disaster.

You must know that there was a population of more than 6000 million in the Eastern Han Dynasty in history, but after the war and the plague, the population dropped sharply to more than 1000 million.

And the lethality of smallpox is no less than that.

After pondering for a long time, he asked, "How is the situation now, and how does the imperial court plan to deal with it?"

After pondering for a long time, Sister Zheng said: "Fortunately, it's just that some villages in South Korea have been infected. These places are not densely populated, and the villagers are self-sufficient on weekdays, guarding their own one-acre three-point land, and there is no spread of it. The situation is not serious at the moment.”

"However, as the epidemic became more serious and people around us continued to pass away, the panic among the people continued to spread. These people ran around in order to survive. It is uncertain what the situation will be."

"Some ministers in the DPRK suggested that they burn incense and pray, pray to God, and forgive the Zhongyuan people..."

Bai Su raised his brows: "I don't talk about strange power and confusion, if praying to gods and ghosts is useful, what do you need a doctor for?"

Sister Zheng smiled wryly: "Of course I know these truths, but since ancient times, countless famous doctors have been helpless against it. Even the royal doctors in the palace are helpless in the face of this natural disaster."

"The practice of opening the altar, burning incense and praying is also to stabilize people's hearts. If we really want to reach the last step, even if we risk the whole world, we can only send troops to sacrifice those villagers to prevent the spread of the epidemic."

Seeing the murderous intent flashing in Sister Zheng's eyes, Bai Su couldn't help but frowned: "Your Majesty, doing so will only increase your reputation, and the reputation that has finally improved will be tainted again. How should His Majesty deal with the public grievances of the bereaved family?"

Sister Zheng sighed slightly: "There is no other way. For the sake of the overall situation, we can only grit our teeth and sacrifice them."

"But if it's smallpox, can it be dealt with?"

Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes froze, and she looked straight at Bai Su: "You...do you have the means to cure this natural disaster?"

As the words fell, everyone in the room looked at Bai Su one after another, and tightly clenched their little hands.

After all, in the face of such natural disasters like ghosts and gods, no brave soldier, no sharp sword, could resist in the slightest.

If Bai Su had a way to deal with it, it would be tantamount to snatching many innocent villagers back from Lord Yan's hands, as if life and death were sealed with one word.

It can be said that Bai Su's next words will determine the fate of countless villagers who may be affected by smallpox.

Under everyone's gaze, Bai Su put down the teacup in his hand, with a serious expression on his face: "I'm sorry, I have no cure for smallpox..."

Hearing Bai Su's words, the sliver of hope that Sister Zheng had managed to surge up was shattered again, and she couldn't help but sigh, really there is still nothing to do.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao sisters also bit their lips in pain.

They are all born in poverty, so they naturally know what this means.

Just when Hu Yan was about to talk to calm down Bai Su, Bai Su suddenly said again: "I am just a mortal, and I can't do anything to those who are critically ill, but I have a way to help those who have not been infected with smallpox. Totally immune to smallpox."

Chapter 250 Seven, Sir, Take Me Together

"You...you have a way to deal with it!!!"

Sister Zheng suddenly raised her head, as if she had caught a life-saving straw, she looked straight at Bai Su with her phoenix eyes.

Even Hu Yan and the others on the side showed disbelief on their faces.

After all, for so many years, smallpox has been like an earthquake and a flood-like natural disaster for them, and it is really difficult for manpower to counteract it.

Now Bai Su said that there is a way to deal with this natural disaster, how could this not shock them.

Bai Su scratched his cheek: "I'm not completely sure, at most it's [-] to [-]%."

Sister Zheng shook her head slightly, and her excited phoenix eyes flickered: "Don't say it's [-]-[-]%, even if you're only [-]-[-]% sure, this can be regarded as saving the world's common people."

Hu Tan's strange eyes flickered, and he looked at Bai Su with admiration: "My husband is really amazing."

The two maids, Big Qiao and Little Qiao, also nodded frequently.

Bai Su couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he was not surprised at all.

After all, there have been catastrophes in the Central Plains since ancient times, and the epidemic has never stopped. Every time it occurs, it will shake the country and affect the changes in the situation in the Central Plains.

The closest time was during the Southern Expedition to Baiyue.

At that time, due to the influence of the jungle miasma and the plague, nearly half of the 50 troops of the Southern Expedition lost nearly half, and the general Tu Sui was even killed by the sneak attack of the local aborigines.

Then, Sister Zheng gathered troops from Guanzhong and dispatched Zhao Tuo as the commander. After years of attacking, the land of Baiyue was included in the territory of the Central Plains.

At that time, because they underestimated the miasma, they directly lost nearly a quarter of Daxia's troops.

Now this smallpox has appeared in the more densely populated Sanjin area. Once it is not well controlled, the loss may be even more terrifying than in the past.

Bai Su stroked his chin, and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, there's no need to delay. I'm going to Handi right away."

When Sister Zheng heard this, her slender eyebrows couldn't help but lock tightly: "It's better to leave such a dangerous place to others. What are you going to do?"

Bai Su is today's Daliang Zao, the court's little expert in financial management, her virtuous wife, such a great talent, if something goes wrong due to illness, then she will die of heartache.

Hu Yan also stood up with a "bang", fixed his eyes on Bai Su: "I don't agree with you going."

Bai Su scratched his cheek, and said helplessly: "If possible, I don't want to go to such a dangerous place, but I can't do it anyway."

Sister Zheng was taken aback for a moment: "Why?"

Bai Su sighed, and said, "It's just because I have more experience so far."

"As the saying goes, if a general is incompetent, the whole army will be exhausted. If someone with insufficient ability is replaced, there will be mistakes in decision-making, which may lead to smallpox, which was originally controllable, and spread in various counties and counties all at once."

"At that time, not an inch of land in the whole world will be safe. Even if we stay behind, what's the point?"

"Instead of sitting in the back and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to kill the danger in the cradle..."

As his voice fell, the entire room fell into a dead silence.

Sister Zheng opened her red lips slightly, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Indeed, as Bai Su said, facing an invisible and intangible enemy like smallpox, no matter how brave and skilled soldiers are dispatched, they can't get a clue.

Now Bai Su is the only one who can command the local soldiers and organize an effective defense line.

"But……"

Hu Yanhao bit his red lips tightly, his eyes were full of reluctance.

Bai Su stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, and stroked her black hair: "Don't worry, don't you understand me, the number one talented person in Xianyang, today's Daliang Zao, is nothing more than mere smallpox. "

Hu Tan still wanted to say something, but seeing her husband's serious gaze, she pouted aggrievedly, rubbed her head on Bai Su's shoulder, and felt reluctant for a while.

After pondering for a long time, Sister Zheng looked at Bai Su with her phoenix eyes: "Since you have made up your mind, then go, but you must remember that your safety is the most important thing, I would rather give up the whole Han land than You won't be allowed to make any mistakes."

The cold voice carried a trace of orders that no one dared to disobey.

Obviously, she meant it.

From Sister Zheng's point of view, Bai Su is the future pillar of the imperial court, and she is counting on Bai Su to advise on how to proceed in the future.

The lost territory can be regained by sending troops again, but if one pillar is gone, it will be completely gone.

What's more...

Now that she is still pregnant, naturally she can't tolerate anything wrong with Bai Su.

Bai Su stared blankly, facing Sister Zheng's serious gaze.

He cupped his hands earnestly and said, "I...take orders."

......

......

The next day.

Bai Su came to Shaofu and asked people to prepare the necessary supplies.

Since you want to go to the disaster relief, the necessary supplies are essential.

For example, high-concentration alcohol used for disinfection, commonly used medicinal materials, and some emergency military rations.

These fried noodles that can be eaten at any time can be provided to those people who temporarily stay in the village and cannot travel around for their daily needs.

Even, in order to provide the required vegetables and meet the needs of food, Bai Su asked someone to load a whole truckload of soybeans, and after they were ready to be pulled to the local area, they were planted directly on the spot.

For vegetables such as bean sprouts, it only takes seven days from planting to maturity. As an emergency supply, it can be described as very simple and convenient.

After all, as the person in charge of the overall situation, it is natural to consider all aspects carefully, and not to make a decision at the first glance. There are not many things to do, just toss the people back and forth.

Empress Fusu often feels inconceivable that he has such a high prestige among the people. Just relying on a slogan, he can make people from the people line up to give money.

However, how did she know.

The reason why Bai Su was able to gain so much trust is precisely because he did what he said, and he really did not lie during the day.

Just when Bai Su directed the crowd and kept busy.

Da da da.

There was the sound of crisp footsteps.

"My lord, take me with you." A soft girlish voice came from behind.

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, then looked back, and saw a girl in apricot yellow dress standing behind him.

The girl looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although her body was very simple, without any extra decorations, it was still difficult to conceal her beautiful appearance, and she was very beautiful.

From the slightly loose collar, one can see the beautiful curve of the chest, obviously under the plain clothes, there is a proud ketone || body.

It's just that her complexion has a touch of sickness and paleness, giving people a feeling of softness and weakness.

This person is none other than the great Mohist, Mo Xun.

Bai Su frowned slightly and said, "I'm going to get rid of smallpox this time, the way is very dangerous, what are you going to do?"

"It is precisely because of the danger that I am going to..."

Mo Xun raised the blue hair between his brows and put it behind Xiu's ear, and looked at Bai Su firmly with his apricot eyes: "My Mo family has worshiped all people as teachers since ancient times. , all recorded."

"Summarize the experience of predecessors, pass on your own knowledge, and master the laws of nature step by step."

"Smallpox has been regarded as a natural disaster since ancient times. There is no cure for it. I don't know how many people died because of it. Now that my lord wants to go there in person, I naturally have to go together, no matter whether I succeed or fail in the end."

"I can record what I have seen and heard with pen and ink bit by bit, and let future generations continue to explore, so as to live up to the entrustment of the ancestors."

"If the adults don't want to take me there, then I'll walk by myself..."

Bai Su looked at the determined girl in front of him, and couldn't help but smacked his lips. As expected of the Mohist school, which competed with Confucianism and Legalism back then, this kind of style is really admirable.

He sighed helplessly: "Juzi is devoted to piousness, how can I refuse, with such a beautiful woman as Juzi accompanying me, I won't be lonely along the way."

Hearing what Bai Su said, Mo Xun couldn't help but recall the scene under the table when he was eating hot pot.

Her cheeks, which were slightly pale just now, suddenly turned a seductive blush, and even her crystal ears were rosy. She gave Bai Su a hard look, and immediately walked towards the carriage.

Bai Su touched his nose, a little amused.

Chapter 250: A Complicated Girl's Heart

a few days later.

Xianyang city.

People on the street looked curiously.
