No matter what, the momentum of the epidemic has been controlled, and we must organize as much as possible to eliminate rats in the city.

Although the plague is not entirely caused by mice, it accounts for a large proportion.

Only by solving the hidden danger of rats can the epidemic not repeat.

Otherwise, even if the momentum is controlled now, the epidemic may make a comeback at any time.

The Ming Dynasty really can't stand the tossing.

Another thing is to cultivate the people's health concepts and awareness.

Only when the concept of hygiene and awareness are improved can the number of infectious diseases occur less.

It is definitely impossible to completely eliminate it, but it can be reduced as much as possible to reduce the impact on the court and the people.

However, this is definitely not a one-day effort and it takes a long time to indoctrinate.

Zhu Youlang asked the soldiers not to urinate and defecate anywhere in the camp, so it took a long time.

It will only be more difficult to change people's ideas now.

But no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done. If you don’t have a hygiene awareness, it will be useless.

"We have to work hard these days. After this wave of epidemic is over, I will personally reward the meritorious soldiers."

"I thank Your Majesty for the soldiers."

Zhang Huangyan said excitedly.

"The people who have the disease have good food, drink and medicine. Whether they can survive this depends on luck."

Although Zhu Youlang was very reluctant, there was really no good way except for isolation.

There is no way, it is better to die dozens or hundreds of people than to die tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.

There are no special medicines to treat plague in this era, so this can only be taken.

"Your Majesty is kind, the people must see it."

Zhu Youlang shook his head and said, "What's the use of being kind? I heard that the people chose to dig the rat hole if they couldn't eat enough. They were still hungry!"

Zhu Youlang said very worriedly: "It is my responsibility to be a king and father for the people to not have enough food. The King of Jin ordered people to transfer food from Jiangxi and Huguang. I want to provide relief to the victims."

The situation in Nanjing is just a microcosm, and the nearby places are definitely not too different.

Zhu Youlang didn't want to see too many people starving to death, so he decided to transfer food to provide relief.

Although this will reduce the army's food, it will only reduce the amount of food in stock.

And for the people, it is life-saving food!

"Your Majesty is so kind, I admire you!"

Zheng Chenggong was also moved to the point of being overwhelmed.

When he was in charge of the government, he did not consider opening a warehouse for relief.

Of course, the situation was different at that time. He only controlled Nanjing, Zhenjiang and other places.

It depends on the grain storage in the treasury.

If the food is distributed, the soldiers will have nothing to eat.

But now the emperor can mobilize food from Huguang and Jiangxi, and the situation will be much better.

However, Zheng Chenggong still admires the emperor very much. This mind is truly something that only those who are rich in the world can have.

This is the real king.

"You can pick out the key points of epidemic prevention I listed and copy them in a booklet, and then distribute them to the people. Epidemic prevention depends on everyone. If only the court and my beloved ministers are working hard, the results may not be very good."

Zhu Youlang pays great attention to cultivating the habits of the people, and many difficult problems that can be solved better.

"Your Majesty has something to ask for advice."

Zhang Huangyan thought for a long time and decided to speak out: "What should we do if a large number of victims rush into Nanjing?"

Judging from the current drought, there will only be more and more disaster victims in a short period of time.

Disaster victims usually come to the big city if they can’t get food.

There will only be more and more disaster victims in Nanjing.

Although Nanjing is large, it is also very densely populated.

The influx of more than 100,000 victims may still be acceptable, but hundreds of thousands? What about millions?

Is there really no problem?

Although Zhang Huangyan is the Minister of War, he has a very delicate mind and is intimate in the heart of the Ministry of Revenue.

Carrying capacity is a big problem.

Not only food and water, but also other resources.

Once the city’s resources cannot meet the requirements, a collapse will occur.

As the emperor, Zhu Youlang must consider the gains and losses. Relief to the victims can win the hearts of the people, but there is also the possibility of uncontrollable events.

If you are incited by someone with a heart, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Moreover, if there are too many victims pouring into the city, it is not conducive to epidemic prevention.

He thought about it carefully for a long time and then said in a deep voice: "Two hundred thousand is limited to 200,000. If this amount exceeds this, then the victims should be placed outside the city. You can set up a tent for them, which can also be considered as a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Then set up a relief site outside the city. Two meals a day are like in the city."

This is the best way Zhu Youlang can think of after thinking about it.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Zhang Huangyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He was also worried that the emperor would refuse to provide relief to these extra victims.

If that happens, tragedy like Yizi and Eat may occur.

The people are suffering, especially in the disaster year.

Zhang Huangyan really doesn't want to see the people living in suffering again.

But he also understood that relief was only temporary. If you want to truly get out of trouble, the imperial court must become stronger and first attack the Central Plains and defeat the Eastern Barbarians in order to give the best resources to the people.

The people in the south are the people, and why are the people in the north?

The palms and backs of hands are all flesh.

Zhu Youlang actually always felt that Zhang Huangyan was meticulous and could do more internal affairs.

Zhang Huangyan had no choice but to command the troops at the beginning, after all, someone had to take it over.

There are many talents in the Ming Dynasty's military field now, and there is no need for a civil official like Zhang Huangyan to handle too much military affairs.

Of course, Zhang Huangyan can take the position of Minister of War first, but he can hand over some responsibilities from the Ministry of Revenue to him.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and Zhang Huangyan should be able to complete this important task well.

Of course, Zhu Youlang decided to tell Zhang Huangyan later that the drought and the epidemic would pass.

As for Wen Anzhi's arrival in Nanjing, he was just the role of a cabinet master.

He is so old that Zhu Youlang is embarrassed to let him fight on the front line again.

It is also time to cultivate new people and give them more opportunities.

With Zhang Huangyan, the backbone here, the situation will never go bad.

I hope the epidemic will pass soon so that the Ming army can concentrate on attacking Jianghuai and southern Zhejiang.

Only by taking these two places can you have enough energy to deal with the Qing army in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian.

One by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, Zhu Youlang cannot make a mistake in one step.

Only by following these steps against the Ming army can we truly compete with the Qing army.

At that time, you can rest for a while and then you can go to the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Youlang looked at the loyal ministers and generals in front of him, and the flame in his heart burned again.

The Ming Dynasty will surely achieve the final victory. No matter whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters, it cannot stop this moment from coming.

Even if the sky is dim now, the sun will eventually penetrate dark clouds and spread every land in China.
