Li Hong stopped teasing Yang Wu and said seriously: "Being in the East Palace is different from the Daming Palace behind me. As my personal attendant now, you have to keep your mouth shut. If I do anything bad, you can Stab my father, you know?"
"Yes, please remember, even the queen will not say anything." Yang Wu replied affectionately.
"Pull it down. You don't need to worry about my mother. I guess Lian Tie will be here soon." Li Hong said with some pun.
Today's incident at the Dafu Hall was just a temporary deception for the emperor and his mother. When those two people came back to their senses, they would definitely settle the score with me, but now I had no control in their hands, and I had to go there immediately. Lantian County.
Therefore, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will send Lian Tie over at this time.
After everything was packed up, they were ready to set off immediately. Just as the prince's driver was preparing to set off, Lian Tie rushed over in a hurry, panting as if he was fleeing.
"My servant Lian Tie has met His Highness the Crown Prince." Lian Tie glanced at Yang Wu who was standing aside and said to Li Hong who was about to pedal.
"Why did you come here? I thought you weren't coming." Li Hong said a word, then went straight to the carriage and took the Queen Mother's token of token handed over by Lian Tie.
Wu Mei was afraid that this idiot Li Hong would ignore Lian Tie's words and send Lian Tie back with a beating, so it was more appropriate to hold on to her token.
"Did the Queen Mother explain anything?" Li Hong, who was sitting in the car, asked through the window.
"The queen told me, please don't make your highness angry when you come here, so that you can serve you properly." Lian Tie said with a salute.
Li Hong nodded, thought for a moment and said: "It's not far to go to Lantian. It's easy and enjoyable to go back and forth in one day. It's enough to have Yang Wu accompany you. I have a mission for you."
"Your Highness, please give your orders." Lian Tie said hurriedly.
"Go to Di Renjie and follow him these days. If you need help with anything, just tell me what I say, but remember to obey Di Renjie's orders and not act alone." Li Hong warned.
"Yes, I accept your order. I will go find Di Renjie immediately." Lian Tie watched the carriage drive away slowly, then took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
It's not far to go to Lantian, so Li Hong didn't bring many people with him. Apart from his two hundred personal guards, there were five eunuchs and five women around him.
Wei Tuqi has now become the prince's personal guard captain. He will command these 200 people and be responsible for the safety of His Royal Highness.
More than two hundred horses and a carriage went out in such a formation. Except for the army wearing armor, which attracted a little attention, the others were no different from some nobles and wealthy families.
In the bustling city of Chang'an, such a team cannot be said to be unusual.
At the turn of autumn and winter, the streets of Chang'an City are still crowded with people, and the cold still cannot stop people's interest in traveling.
Literary men and talented women meet each other, and the bustling and noisy Chang'an Street has long been a beautiful scenery.
On the contrary, those wearing Fanbang costumes do not attract much attention in Chang'an City, except of course, merchants.
The common people were obviously used to it when they saw the formation of two hundred cavalry going out. When the cavalry passed by, they stepped aside as much as possible, and then continued with the matters at hand. They didn't know much about who the cavalry belonged to. People care.
In less than two hours' journey, Li Hong and the others had arrived at Lantian County. Every intersection was blocked by Unable to lead Zuowei, who only allowed entry but not exit.
The entire Lantian County did not appear to be in a panic, but after entering the boundary of Lantian, I don't know if it was a psychological effect or it was really the case, but I always felt that there was a layer of solemn atmosphere hanging over Lantian County.
Unable to run to the prince's car quickly, he watched Li Hong and a group of five women come out and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, everything is pretty good now. After all intersections were blocked, the people did not show panic. The general We also sent troops to comfort them in the city, telling them that the court was not planning to trap them, but was preparing to rescue them."
Li Hong nodded and asked, "Where is Zong Chu's guest? Where did he go?"
Just after asking, I saw a figure running towards me from far away. Who else could it be besides Zong Chuke.
"Your Highness, I have made arrangements for you. I have cleaned the courtyard beside the city. If you don't go back to Chang'an in the next few days, you can rest there or handle government affairs." Zong Chuke said with a smile on his face. .
"You are such a boring person. When did you learn this trick? How are the people in the city? Do they do everything I tell them?"
"Your Highness, forgive me. You are a rich man. To put it bluntly, if something happens to you, it won't be worth the loss. What's more, I didn't put in much effort. The place itself is an old house, and with today's people When I went to Taiyi City, I was idle. ”
"It's up to you. Let them take care of it. You can continue to do your work. Ignore me. I'll take a look around first." Li Hong waved his hand and said.
Seeing that the sky is getting dark, Zong Chuke probably still has a lot of things to deal with. If he is allowed to accompany him, he may not be able to arrange all the people properly when the temperature drops at night.
Zong Chuke was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face became much more relaxed, and he said matter-of-factly: "Thank you so much, Your Highness, I will go and deal with the matter first, and I will report to you after I'm done."
"Well, remember to conceal my identity." He waved his hand and asked Zong Chuke to leave.
Then he looked back at the people around him, walked to the door of the house first, and said, "You go in and clean up, while Yang Wu and I walked around the county town to see what Zong Chuke has been doing for most of the day."
Yang Wu was worthy of having served Li Zhi. After Li Hong finished speaking, he immediately brought two horses from the side and was ready to set off with His Royal Highness at any time.
Both Bai Chun and the others, as well as Hua Meng and the others, were a little worried that Li Hong would only let Yang Wu accompany him. They wanted to dissuade them, but Li Hong refused.
The two of them then rode around Lantian County. All the houses were now vacant. Except for a few dog barks coming from the houses from time to time, the whole Lantian gave people the feeling that the city was deserted.
Even the doors of some houses were still ajar, swaying back and forth in the breeze, making creaking sounds. The daily necessities in the yard were neatly arranged, and it didn't look like they were being urged to leave. This point makes Li Hong quite satisfied. At least it shows that Zong Chuke and the others are not forcibly gathering the people together.
The two of them were riding two horses on the deserted streets. With the darkness gradually covering the earth and the signs of autumn and winter changing and everything dying, the whole city looked desolate and desolate, much like the common people. In order to avoid the war, they fled in a hurry, leaving an empty city behind.
The old and the weak gathered in the south of the city, women and children gathered in the north of the city, young and middle-aged men and women were placed in the west of the city, and those who were sick were placed outside the north of the city, already belonging to the outskirts of Lantian County.
Everyone's food and drink expenses were borne by the court. When night came, he carried a large amount of alcohol and other items to the place where the people gathered.
After Li Hong walked around and returned to his house in the east of the city, Hua Meng and Mang Zhong had already brought a large amount of quicklime. The hills of quicklime were piled outside the east city, like a white snow mountain.
Zong Chuke was so busy that he sweated. After reporting all the matters to Li Hong, he followed Li Hong to the hill-like quicklime. He didn't know what His Highness wanted these things for.
"Everyone needs to be quarantined for half a month, but no matter what, your task during this period is to turn these into paste and paint them on the walls of every household in Lantian County according to the method entrusted to you through hard work and strictly in proportion. Especially in places where livestock and poultry live and forage, as well as in some damp ground, sewage ditches, cesspools, etc., no dead corners can be left in Lantian County." Li Hong pinched a small piece of quicklime in his hand. He looked at it casually and threw it back again.
Zong Chuke had questions in his head. He didn't know what the use was of making this thing into paste and then painting it on the wall and covering it on the ground.
When Li Hong said that even places where people gather are needed, he didn't know what he wanted to do.
"Don't understand?" Li Hong asked with a smile, looking at Zong Chuke's blank eyes.
"Your Highness, please help me clarify my doubts." Zong Chuke said modestly.
"Smallpox terminal disease can spread infection. You all know this without me saying it. However, the spread of infectious diseases requires three factors: the source of infection, the sudden spread of infection, and susceptible animals. Only the combination of these three will constitute an infectious disease. Channel. But as long as any of these three ways is missing, the possibility of infection will not be reached, so we need these limes to cut off the source of infection first, and then find a way to treat it." Li Hong couldn't help but sigh. .
If Sun Simiao were here, he would definitely be able to find ways to turn the cowpox into a vaccine and then inject it into people.
Suddenly shocked when he thought of this, Li Hong looked at Zong Chuke and asked: "Is there a slaughterhouse or a cattle farmer in Lantian County?"
Zong Chuke's eyes lit up, how could His Highness the Prince even know these things? Is it possible that you can really count
Yang Wu and others were also stunned. Today, they accompanied His Highness the Crown Prince and did not see a large number of cattle appearing in their field of vision.
"Back to Your Highness, the milk sales in Lantian County have been very good in recent years, but the cows are not in the city, but at the foot of the mountain not far to the north."
"How many households are there? Is it possible to find out who raises those cows?" Li Hong asked quickly.
Smallpox virus is an infectious virus that appears in cattle. Although it does not pose a life-threatening risk to cattle, that is because the cowpox virus can fight and resolve it like a detoxification.
Therefore, after cowpox is made into a vaccine and injected into people, there will only be temporary discomfort, but from then on, immunity will be available to fight against smallpox.
