Linhai County.

Yongning County.

The more you lack, the more you call it. This is the same as the name of someone. Yongning County also represents some simple hope, but this hope is often contrary to your wishes.

After summer comes, it continues to rain in Linhai, and Yongning is no exception.

Perhaps it was a typhoon that had hooked up with a mountain torrent, or it was a typhoon that had been tangled up with a typhoon. Anyway, it was light rain at the beginning, it was heavy rain later, and then it was heavy rain. Even if it stopped for a few days, it would continue to rain soon.

Perhaps for later generations, if it rains too much, it will only cause the air to become wet and the items will become moldy, but for the people of the Han Dynasty, continuous heavy rain will be disasters.

flood.

The kind of flood that makes people desperate.

Zhuanghe is planted in the fields, but the water in the fields is full. Zhuanghe is soaked in the water, and people are also soaked in the water. The family is pouring water out of the fields, but people are bitter and pouring a spoonful of them. God smiled and poured a basin into it.

If you pull the ridges and release water, it may be simple, but it is even worse, because not all soil is suitable for farming, and as the water flows, blindly releasing water will take away the soil above Zhuanghe, and then Zhuanghe will fall down...

The most terrible problem is not this.

Instead, I have put in countless efforts and worked hard day and night, but I still can't protect anything.

I watched the water rise little by little, and watched the hopes of the whole family rot in the fields, just like my body and soul also rot in the water.

After having enough fun, God shook his legs, tied his belt, and took away the clouds.

The sun has come out again, but the summer temperature is baking, coupled with the extreme humidity on the ground, breaking the order of everything.

Several major counties in Linhai County took the lead in closing the city gates and rejecting all refugees.

That's right, these people are ordinary people in normal times. When they encounter disasters, these people will transform into refugees.

The notice is also very simple. Refugees are not allowed to enter the city maliciously, which will undermine Yongning's stability and unity.

The affected people instinctively gathered together to seek help, "Please be kind to the master and can't survive!"

The gentry and gentry living in Yongning County were furious, "Who told you to walk around? This is a malicious departure from your hometown, disobeying management, and resisting orders!"

The people cried, "We just want to live..."

The official roared, "You have disobeyed the order!"

At the beginning, officials went out of the city to coax, but soon, as more and more people were affected, officials stopped coming out and allowed refugees to gather outside the city. They just closed the city gate, and then sent quick horses to Wujun to ask for support.

Under the city wall, the people cried everywhere, and officials stood on the city wall.

Some officials said soft words and coaxed him, "It's hard for us, you must understand us! We are also doing things for others, right? We understand your mood, but you must also understand our difficulties! We have reported them all, but we haven't seen us report them, and we have followed the process, and we are going through the process very quickly! You have to understand, you have to understand, it's hard for you, it's hard for us, it's hard for us!"

Some officials were vicious and cursed, "Who dares to cause trouble?! Arrest! Are you going to cause trouble? Or are you? Who is impatient? Stand up! I represent the Lord of Jiangdong, the general of the Han Dynasty is talking to you! Who wants to cause trouble?! Don't think we dare not do it! All give me some tips! Be honest!"

The people are at a loss.

The officials looked around and left, and went to a place where the people could not see it.

He blushed and exclaimed, "It's finally worth it!"

"Go away, drink!" The white-faced laughed, "The mob, just settle whatever you want!"

The sun is lazily sunny.

One day, two days...

The world is wet.

Three days, four days...

The items are moldy.

Plant root rot.

Humans and animals are sick.

The plague smiled gloomyly and quietly appeared.

The officials and gentry in Yongning County were even more chaotic. They could coax the people and scare the Qianshou, but they could not coax the plague and the illness. After the first person fell ill, everyone knew that something was going to happen, but not everyone's reaction was consistent.

The people only want to live, while the officials and gentry are afraid of death.

The city gates were closed more and more tightly, and even the original temporary woodcutting inside and outside the city was forbidden.

The food prices rose and they were out of stock soon.

You can't buy a grain of rice or a grain of wheat.

The refugees outside the city began to get sick one after another, then vomited and had diarrhea, infecting more people, and the plague began to spread.

With the invasion of water, woodcutting was banned, which means that raising fire in the city is an expensive thing. Ordinary people began to drink raw water directly, and their illness began to appear in the city soon...

"What should I do?" The official shook his hands and stamped his feet, "Is there no news about the lord yet?"

"That's that fast! It will take at least ten days!"

『Ten days!』

『It's over...』

Only at this time did these officials feel that this process might not be a good thing.

The squire shrank, like a turtle shrank its head into a thick shell, and the high walls and courtyard were its turtle shell.

Fortunately, some people are still standing up to do things.

Ge Zuo stood up at this time.

Of course, it was not just Ge Zuo who stood up.

Before Ge Zuo arrived at Yongning City, several Taoist priests or monks who claimed to be gods and Buddhas had already arrived.

These Taoist priests who arrived earlier, as well as monks, painted talismans and practiced the same way, while claiming that there was a monster causing trouble and that the people should believe in their religion so that they could avoid disasters.

At the beginning, these Taoist monks and monks were very popular, but soon these guys disappeared and disappeared.

It was under such circumstances that Ge Zuo arrived in Yongning County.

He just wore a Taoist robe of God from five directions, without any talisman water, but a bamboo basket of herbs.

Ge Zuo stood under the city wall and asked to open the city gate.

With his life as a guarantee, he cooked herbs and let a sick person in the city drink it.

The patient's symptoms of diarrhea stopped.

Only then did Ge Zuo gain freedom, and some officials were willing to obey Ge Zuo's arrangements.

Clean up and bury dirt and drink raw water.

Sprinkle lime and create an isolation area.

Ge Zuo found that these things should have been very ordinary in Chang'an. Anyone who has been to Chang'an and who has lived in the refugee camp of the Cavalry may understand. No one knows about them in Linhai Yongning.

Could it be that these people have never heard of the plague?

Ge Zuo didn't ask, but he speculated that it was probably the officials from Yongning who thought the plague would come here?

Ge Zuo also suggested that the officials in Yongning should come forward to discuss with the gentry and borrow food to provide disaster relief.

That's right, borrowed.

The public warehouse cannot be said to be empty, but it is not much better. It only has a layer of appearance on the surface. What else has been stolen and sold out by officials from previous and subsequent offices.

The current official jumped and scolded his ex, his face turned red and his mouth flew everywhere. The more ugly the scolding was, the more ugly it was.

Ge Zuo ignored a word.

If nothing happened, wouldn’t these officials continue to sell?

Perhaps it was because he felt that Ge Zuo was indeed capable, or because the officials were so anxious that the officials were red, or for some other reason, the gentry in Yongning took out some Chen Mi from the warehouse, and lent it to the government for disaster relief.

The current official wrote an IOU readily.

He was familiar with this matter with just one hand.

The seal of Yongning County Magistrate was stamped.

His name was not written on the IOU, but only the Yongning County Magistrate.

No matter what, no matter whether the old grain is yellow or black, we can set up a porridge shed, and then let the victims exchange their labor for porridge, which has promoted the prevention and control of the plague in the refugee areas outside the city.

Ge Zuo knew that in fact, these gentry members in Jiangdong were somewhat wary of him. After all, the Yellow Turbans used talisman water to help the people after the disaster, and then gathered a large number of believers...

So Ge Zuo was very cautious. He hardly mentioned any Taoism in his daily life, let alone preaching, nor did he teach talismans or talismans and water, but only saved the victims.

Of course, Ge Zuo can do this, on the one hand, Ge Zuo does have some medical skills. He collects herbs and boils soup to save people, which has certain therapeutic effects, rather than making talismans and talismans with ease.

On the other hand, Ge Zuo had some reputation among the fields before. Many farmers knew him and knew that a Taoist priest who knew Zhuang He was traveling around. Not only would he guide them for free on how to farm, but he even went to the fields to work together.

Therefore, in Yongning, Ge Zuo practiced medical treatment and helped patients for free, and gradually gained the reputation of "living immortals". Not only were refugees, but also many of the gentry, soldiers, yamen runners and other senators in Yongning City received his help and respected him very much.

Ge Zuo was wearing a shabby Taoist robe of the Five Gods, walking among the refugees. The refugees around him often greeted him and he nodded slightly to the salute.

"My child took the medicine of the living god, and he stopped diarrhea..." A ragged, black and dirty woman bowed to Ge Zuo and kowtowed to thank him, "Living god... Thank you...

Ge Zuo nodded, "Since the diarrhea has stopped, it will be a little more vitality... Remember, adults and children should no longer drink raw water. They must be boiled before they can be drunk. The utensils must be clean. The dirty clothes should be washed quickly..."
