Chapter 47 Plague outbreak

Although the ministers didn't say anything, they were all guessing in their hearts:

""The emperor was so poor that he was going to make money, where did he go to make money?"

How could they know that Zhu Youjian had found tens of millions of taels of silver from the corrupt cords' homes? How could they care about the money for disaster relief in the capital?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhu Youjian detected their thoughts, and did not care. He slowly stood up and said:

"As a parent official of the common people, I, the Ming officials, must go down to the public regularly to understand the people's conditions, but cannot notify them in advance, so I can only visit privately. Now you can take me down to inspect."

Seeing that the emperor was going to go to the people, all the ministers were worried about his dragon body, so they all came forward to comfort him:

"The emperor cannot do it now, just go down with a weak minister. It is not safe outside, so you cannot take risks."

"It's okay, don't say much, act now."

"The weak minister follows the order"

In this way, the Ming Dynasty rulers and ministers left the imperial city and walked onto the streets of the capital. In order not to disturb the people, Zhu Youjian only brought A Qingyu to the fields and the Fifty Jinyiwei.

The prosperous capital in the past has completely subverted Zhu Youjian's perception today. Although there are some pedestrians on the streets in broad daylight, most of them have yellow faces and staggering steps.

Many shops along the street were not open, and there were many homeless refugees lying under the eaves of the shops. When they saw a group of officials coming, they all extended their hands:

"Sir, save us and give us a bite. There are few people in the house."

Zhu Youjian frowned and felt sour. As a time traveler in modern society, he could not imagine how these people survived.

He waved his hand and asked the Jinyiwei to follow him from afar. He walked towards a child who was about to die. The child was in the arms of the old man, and the old man's eyes were filled with tears, but she could do nothing.

He bent down and grabbed the child's wrist, and a stream of internal energy entered the child's body. Zhu Youjian found that the child had no other problems and was obviously hungry because he lacked nutrition.

"Yuhuatian, go to the front and buy some buns, the more the better."

"Abide by the order"

Yu Huatian agreed and led five or six Jinyiwei to buy buns. Zhu Youjian turned around and asked the old man:

"Old man, how long has this child not eaten enough?"

"Oh, what does it mean to eat a full meal? He has never eaten enough since he was born, and he can only barely live. This time he has not eaten a grain of rice for two consecutive days."

The old man said weakly, his arms that had no flesh at all could no longer hold the child down.

"Old man, are there any other people in the family? How can you take good care of your children at such an old age?"

The old man shook his head powerlessly:

"Everyone died, either starved to death or was infected with plague and died of illness."

Zhu Youjian only felt his eyes want to turn red. He looked back at the ministers behind him and found that the ministers were all red.

"Your Majesty, the buns are here, and the buns on this street are here."

Soon Yu Huatian and others arrived and brought several baskets of buns. As soon as they arrived, many refugees gathered up and stretched out their dirty hands.

Taking the majesty of these Jinyiwei, refugees dare not forcefully rob them for the time being.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to you later."

Zhu Youjian took five buns to the old man, waved to Yu Huatian, and asked him to distribute the remaining buns to refugees.

"Auntie gives you buns, eat them slowly, don't choke, you will have something to eat tomorrow."

Zhu Youjian said, slowly got up and walked towards a family.

Although the house was pretty good, the door was wide open and there was not even a single person to walk around. He waved his hand to stop the ministers from entering, and Zhu Youjian stepped in alone.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhu Youjian's eyes widened, and he was completely shocked by the tragic situation inside.

In order to protect the host, the system strengthened Zhu Youjian's physical functions, and he was immune to poisons and infectious diseases.

When the old man talked about the plague, Zhu Youjian decided to take a look nearby. Just in case, he would definitely not let the ministers and A Qing and others accompany him.

A room that was originally pretty good was in a mess, with five people lying in a row, including men, women, and children.

Zhu Youjian had an ominous premonition. When he walked up to him, he saw that all of them died, and there were still a lot of vomit left by these people.

With a thought, a long sword was in my hand, and gently lifted the tops of several people, and there were obvious ecchymns and bleeding on my skin.

"Damn it, it's true that it's the plague. The whole family was infected and no one survived. Is the mortality rate of plague so high?"

In order to confirm his thoughts, Zhu Youjian visited several families in succession. Most of the families no longer existed. Only a small number of people were alive, but they were obviously infected.

Judging from the tragic situation in front of you, the nearby area must be quite serious and must be blocked and isolated immediately.

But if you do that, a certain amount of troops will be needed to deal with it. If the army is infected again and the eastern captive army attacks, it will be dangerous.

Zhu Youjian put all his hopes on the system at this time:

"System, I would like to ask a question, will the army summoned by the system be infected by the plague?"

"Ding, like the host, their physical functions and settings have been enhanced and they will not be infected."

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed:

"Damn, thank goodness."

Li Banghua, Qi Jiguang, Aqing and others began to worry when they saw that the emperor had not come out for a long time after entering the private house.

I wanted to see what was going on, but I was worried that disobeying the emperor's will, which would make the emperor unhappy. Everyone was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

Just as everyone was about to ask A Qing to go and investigate quietly, Zhu Youjian walked out of the residential area with a melancholy face.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"Your Majesty, what's going on? Did you discover something?"

Zhu Youjian nodded:

"Hurry, you can leave here immediately and go to the Taihe Palace to wait for me. Don't stay. Yuhuatian and I go to the three camps together."

"This... the minister obeys the order"

Although everyone didn't understand what was going on, they didn't dare to resist the order and refused to respect it. They agreed and hurriedly left the place. Zhu Youjian and Yu Huatian rushed to the three camps.

Now Zhu Youjian seems to have figured out one thing: why the bandits entered the capital and had no resistance, there must be an unknown reason.

The two men took steps and used their light skills to limit their limits, just like two flying men. After half a stick of incense, their figures appeared in the original three camps.

As an important base for the city defense of the capital, there are not even people standing guard in the three major battalions.

Zhu Youjian exchanged some masks in the system and gave one to Yuhuatian, and stored the excess in the system warehouse.

"Yuhuatian, take this."

"Your Majesty, what is this, how to wear it, where to wear it?"

Yu Huatian took the mask and was stunned at that time. He had no idea what it was. Zhu Youjian couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Hang the strap on your ears and cover your mouth. If there is a virus here, it will be contagious."

"Oh, obey the order."
