In Taiji Palace in Chang 'an, Li Shimin was roaring.
"What should we do? Tell me, what should we do now!”
Li Shi Min said angrily.
"What are the officials of the Inner Pass doing?”'
"Why didn't anyone report the emergence of smallflower before? Why did they only report it now?”
"The number of people infected with small-flower has actually reached more than 300,000!”
"Those are the people of the Great Tang, my people!”
"What use do I have for trash like you!”
The dragon's face was furious, and all the officials trembled. They hurriedly bowed and apologized.
"I am guilty. Please calm down, Your Majesty."
His voice was deep and emotionless, like the sound of gears in a machine.
It gave people the feeling that these things had nothing to do with them.
"Is there any use in appeasing my anger? Is there any use in offending you?"
Li Shi Min sneered.
"What I want now is a solution. I want to save the 300,000 civilians of the Great Tang!”
"Think about it all!"
"If you can't think of a way, no one can leave Taiji Palace today!”
The ministers fell silent. They began to worry and feel wronged.
No one wanted to have a small-flower outbreak, and it wasn't caused by them.
Li Shiming, if you have the ability, then ask the heavens to take it back.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death, what can mortals do?
"Your Majesty, I think that although it's already too late, we definitely can't let it go.”
Zhangsun Wuji muttered to himself for a long while before he stood up and said.
"We should immediately send troops to surround all the infected villages to prevent the people infected from moving around and bringing people to other places.”
"To ensure the safety of the people in other places.”
Zhangsun Wuji's words immediately received everyone's support.
"I agree."
"I agree…"
The infected would definitely die now.
What they could do was to prevent smallsmallworm from flowing out of other places and control the death toll at 300,000.
As for those who were already infected…
He could only say that it was a pity.
"What, you mean to ask me to leave these people alone?"
Li Shi Min was furious.
He had seized the throne through the coup of Xuanwu Gate and the armed coup. He had always wanted to make achievements to make the people recognize him as a good emperor.
But now, he was giving up the lives of 300,000 people. Li Shiming felt that this would be a stain in his life.
"Your Majesty, this is an urgent matter."
Fang Xuanling added.
"Since ancient times, there is no possibility of survival for those infected with smalllessness. The people will not blame Your Majesty.”
"The most important thing is to prevent the spread of smalllessness and increase the number of deaths.”
Li Shiming was silent. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were his two great advisors, and he valued them very much.
Now that Fang Xuanling had said so, Li Shiming felt that he had no other choice.
"Since that's the case, let's do it this way.”
Li Shi Min said with a dark face.
"Have the Left Guards send a hundred thousand troops to watch over these infected civilians and control the spread.”
"The other prefectures and counties must be well protected. Once they find anything, report it immediately and do not hide it.”
"Ancestors, Xuanling, I'll leave this matter to you.”
Li Shi Min felt like his body had been emptied.
Even if everyone knew that he had no choice but to give up on these people, it would still be a stain on his reputation as an emperor.
In the future, it would also become a reason for people to attack him.
But what could he do?
There was no cure for smallpox.
Smallflower, also known as cowpea.
This was not a problem in modern times, but in the Great Tang, where medical facilities were poor, it was a terminal illness.
The most terrifying thing was that the infection was very fast.
If they were not treated and controlled in time, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people would die at any time.
Li Shiming was like this now. He could only blame himself and feel guilty. There was nothing else he could do.
Looking at the court officials, Li Shi Min couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas, my Great Tang has no one, and I have no way of dealing with it. I have no choice but to implicate the people and cause them to die from small-flower.”
"I'm sorry!"
……
Although Tianhua was fierce, it was nothing to Li Ke and the people of Yizhou.
As early as half a year ago, Li Ke had developed a method to get cowacne and gave it to the people of Yizhou, completely eliminating the possibility of the spread of smalllessness in Yizhou.
Li Ke had even developed a special reagent to treat smalllessness. As long as it was injected into the human body, it would recover after a good day of rest. Most importantly, he would never have to worry about smalllessness again in his life.
"How are the preparations?"
Li Ke was ready to go and asked Chen Ping.
"Everything is ready."
Chen Ping said with a smile.
"In half a day, a million catties of rice, enough reagents, cattle acne vaccine, gauze, and disinfectant alcohol have all been loaded into the truck.”
"10,000 medical personnel have also been gathered.”
"We can set off at any time."
"As for the food, medicine, and guards that we need, they are ready to be dispatched at any time.”
To gather so many resources, personnel, and steam cars in half a day was an impossible task in the eyes of the court officials.
This was also enough to prove that Chen Ping's ability and Li Ke's discerning eyes were a talent.
"I'll leave Shu Zhong to you."
Li Ke nodded and sat in his steam car.
"Watch Yizhou and wait for me to return.”
Chen Ping bowed solemnly and said seriously.
"I won't disappoint your highness!"
Li Ke brought 30,000 steam cars, supplies and medicine, 10,000 medical personnel, and 50,000 guards to Chang 'an.
Yizhou wasn't too far from Chang 'an. It was only a thousand miles away.
After the modification experiment of the steam car, it was no longer a dream to travel five hundred miles a day.
At noon the next day, Li Ke had already entered the pass and was approaching Chang 'an.
However, they discovered that there was a village not far away that was heavily surrounded by soldiers. The villagers and soldiers had an intense conflict.
"Why can't we go out? We don't want to die!”
"It's fine if you don't want me to go out. Give me something to eat. I'm really starving.”
"Please be kind and give me some food. My child is going to starve to death.”
"My son is not sick. Please give him a way out and let him go!”
The soldiers did not relax at all. They repeatedly beat back the villagers who wanted to come out. The leading official said in disgust.
"Don't even think about it. You bunch of lowly lives, why don't you go and die after getting small-flower?”
"All of you go back and wait for your death. This is your life!"
"Even the heavens can't save you!”
At this moment, a young and determined voice sounded.
"Even if the heavens can't save them, I, Li Ke, can!”
