They are just craftsmen, who will listen to what they say, they are coolies in the eyes of those officials, and those officials are experts in water control.
"It's hard for the people!"
"Listen everyone, there is an order from above that the hole must be repaired within three days, otherwise no one will be paid!" A general came over and shouted loudly.
"Isn't this nonsense? If the progress is speeded up, the quality will definitely not be guaranteed. What if the river bank is breached by then?"
An old man was a little unconvinced and wanted to come forward to argue.
"Old man Yang, don't go up and argue, you forgot how your leg is lame? People don't fight with officials, we can't beat them!"
Someone stopped old man Yang to persuade him.
Since the above said what to do, they will do whatever they want.
"But this?"
"It's their business if something happens, we are ordinary people!"
Everyone persuaded old man Yang.
In three days, everyone completed the repair of the river embankment breach within three days.
"What do you think, His Royal Highness?"
Chen Tong took Xiao Yanqi to the location where the embankment broke. At this time, the repaired one was exactly the same as before. The water level of the Chang River dropped, and the embankment looked unbreakable.
"Okay, Master Lu and Master Chen have contributed a lot to the quick completion!"
Xiao Yanqi clapped his hands and applauded, and completed the repair of the breach in three days, which is definitely a speed like a miracle.
"This is all thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Heavenly Power!"
"Your lords have contributed a lot. When I return to the capital, I will definitely write a letter to my father!"
Xiao Yanqi said boldly.
Back in the city, Xiao Yanqi had a smile on his face, it can be said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, he did not expect that the water in the Changhe would ebb when he came here.
God help!
Really God help!
For the rest of the day, Xiao Yanqi lived in Chen Tong's mansion.
?There has never been a chance to indulge myself in the capital, and I have to indulge myself in Qinghe County.
"His Royal Highness, something is wrong!"
Xiao Yanqi was having fun in the room when Lu Bangong's voice came from outside the door.
"Prince, who is this? He has no rules or good eyesight!" The woman in Xiao Yanqi's arms hugged Xiao Yanqi's neck tightly and said with some annoyance.
"This person is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of my court!"
Xiao Yanqi let go of the woman in his arms, opened the door and came out, seeing both Lu Bangong and Chen Tong waiting for him at the door, looking a little flustered at the two of them.
"So what happened?"
Seeing these two people flustered, I'm afraid it's not a small matter.
"There were too many victims and injuries outside the emperor's city, resulting in a plague!"
"Plague?"
Xiao Yanqi couldn't help becoming serious. This is not a trivial matter. The plague is extremely contagious. It is said that hundreds of thousands of people died when a plague appeared in the northern region ten years ago.
"what happened?"
Xiao Yanqi asked Lu Bangong and Chen Tong angrily.
Didn't you say everything is fine? How could there be a plague all of a sudden?
"After the flood, the victims were serious. Some of the victims started to eat rats and wild birds because they couldn't eat enough to eat, thus infecting the plague. After death, no one buried the corpses, and gradually turned into a plague!"
Chen Tong told Xiao Yanqi everything in detail.
"Didn't we give out porridge? Why is no one hungry?"
Xiao Yanqi asked, the Ministry of Households allocated food for them, how could some people not have enough to eat?
"His Royal Highness, we only eat porridge from nearby people, and the victims of disasters in other places will not be able to eat it!" Chen Tong said hesitantly.
"Where are the local officials? Didn't I give them food?"
Xiao Yanqi asked Chen Tong again, after he came, he had already distributed the food, asked officials from all over the place to bring the food back, and opened a porridge shed at the gate of the yamen, didn't he listen to himself?
"This subordinate doesn't know either."
"You don't know, you are the sheriff of Qinghe County, if you don't know, then who knows?" Xiao Yanqi scolded angrily.
Chen Tong was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on the ground.
On weekdays, Chen Tong flattered Xiao Yanqi, Xiao Yanqi also enjoyed it, and did not have anything to do with Chen Tong.What an unpleasant thing.
But now that there is a problem, it is different.
These words of Xiao Yanqi made it clear that he wanted to push the matter onto Chen Tong, and wanted Chen Tong to take the blame.
"His Royal Highness's primary task now is not to find the reason, but how to solve this matter. Before this matter spreads, we must resolve it early. It would be bad if the emperor finds out."
Lu Bangong stepped forward to persuade Xiao Yanqi to calm down.
Now is not the time to get angry.
"How to deal with it?"
Xiao Yanqi asked.
"His Royal Highness, the most important thing now is to get out of here quickly, just in case the plague spreads!" Lu Bangong said, once the plague spreads, their current place will not be safe.
"You are right, tell everyone that we are leaving now!"
Xiao Yanqi also seemed to have suddenly realized, and immediately ordered everyone to leave.
"The second thing is to target the plague, isolate those infected with the plague, and drive them to the designated place, so that the plague will spread everywhere!"
Lu Bangong put forward two proposals of his own.
"Okay, okay, I will do as you said, I will leave the matter of Chen Tong's isolation to you, let's go quickly!" Xiao Yanqi walked towards the front yard without returning to the room.
"how's it going?"
"No way, more and more people are infected. If you don't treat it, everyone will die!"
"Where do we have any treatment now!"
"somebody is coming!"
The victims were discussing countermeasures when a team of officers and soldiers rushed in.
"There is an order from above that all those infected with the plague will be quarantined and taken away!" With one order, the soldiers arrested all those who were weak and infected with the plague like wolves entering a flock of sheep.
"What are you going to do?"
"Of course I take it away!"
"no!"
Everyone stopped the soldiers.
If they are taken away like this, these people may not be able to survive.
"Those who violate the order will be killed!"
"Ah¡ª¡ª"
The long spear was raised, and the point of the spear was aimed directly at the crowd. Anyone who dared to resist would be killed immediately. After a few days, Chen Tong isolated all the people in Qinghe County.
"Your Excellency has quarantined tens of thousands of people, how should these people be dealt with?"
"Let them live and die!"
Chen Tong said with some annoyance, everything was fine, I never thought that such a thing would happen
"How is the situation now?"
"Everyone is starving and sick. If this continues, no one will be able to survive!"
"Brother, why don't we go against each other!"
A few people chatted together and looked around. They were all a group of hungry people. Everyone hadn't eaten for two days. If they were hungry like this, no one would be able to survive.
"Then Chen Tong corrupted the law and drove us away with the army. Since they are not benevolent, why should we be righteous?"
"Inverted!"
"That's right, if it's the other way around, you might still be able to survive, and you must not allow yourself to be slaughtered like this!"
One by one stood up and looked at the people around them.
"That's the opposite!"
"Brother, being an official is not benevolent, and treats us like dogs. If we continue like this, no one will be able to survive. Why don't we turn against the court today!"
"That's right, it's reversed!"
"Inverted!"
Someone took the lead, and there was an immediate response.
"Going south from here, there is a small town less than ten miles away. Let's occupy that city first. When we are full, we will compete with Chen Tong!"
