The son fell asleep holding a pile of gems. Yuxiao wanted to take the gems away, but the kid held them tightly in one hand.

"Such as he wants, just look at it later." Qin Lang said with some pamperingness.

Yu Xiao was helpless, "Sanlang is tired too, go and wash up quickly. I will take Jun'er to sleep and watch him."

Qin Lang smiled, "The child is so old, it's time to wean her. Let Xian take care of her, and rub her back."

Yu Xiao understood Qin Lang's smile, but said, "You are tired all the way back, so let's have a good rest."

"You don't accompany me? I've been separated for so long. Don't you want to be your husband, just let him love you well for one night."

"Sanlang, if you want, I will let Sister Youwei accompany you. I will have Jun'er to accompany you these days when you are away, but she is much lonely. She likes Jun'er very much and wants a child."

"You are so generous!" Qin Lang sighed.

"Go quickly." Yuxiao pushed him out.

Yu Xuanji had been looking forward to him for a long time. After a while, she had already gone back to the house to put on makeup. Although it was night, the light makeup was also extremely tempting.

"Sanlang, the water is ready, let me serve Saburo to take a bath!"

Qin Lang knew that she was a secret sent by Li Shimin Baiqisi and was responsible for surveillance of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, but even if he knew it, he could only accept it tacitly.

"Okay, I'll give you a blessing."

······

"Something happened in Beijing during the time I left Beijing. Tell me about it."

Qin Lang lay in the bath, enjoying the comfort of soaking the warm soup. The pores all over his body seemed to be opened, steaming, and the graceful body of Yu Xuanji appeared and became more and more attractive.

Instead, he closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and enjoyed her moderate kneading and massage.

"In June, the ninth son of the emperor Li Zhi was born. He was the third son of Empress Changsun. The emperor was extremely happy and feasted for the ministers..."

"In autumn, the frost is severe and cold, and the crops are too many to die. Many prefectures and counties have no harvest. People sell their children and daughters. The government has no food to provide disaster relief......"

"Your Majesty and the Queen took out the gold, silver and treasures of the inner palace, redeem the sold children from all over the country and returned them to their parents..."

"The famine is getting worse and worse. His Majesty ordered officials in the pass to allow the people in the state to leave their hometowns and go out of the pass to eat."

"Your Majesty and the Empress release three thousand palace people from the Taiji Palace and the Palace in Chang'an, and ask them to betroth the soldiers of Guanzhong Palace, or return to their hometown to get married..."

Qin Lang listened quietly. In fact, although Qin Lang was in another place, he had already known about these things through his own news channels.

But listening to Yu Xuanji's words, it was another feeling.

Especially whenever she talks about a major event, she will inevitably add some reactions from the people in the capital, etc., and even the reactions of her and the people in the Duke of Wei’s Mansion. Qin Lang listened very carefully.

Overall, this year is a turbulent time.

It was fine in the first half of the year. Most of the north had good harvests during the summer harvest, but it was miserable in the second half of the year. First, there were heavy hail in many places, which destroyed many crops and houses. Then there was early frost, frost became a disaster, and a large number of immature crops frost to death, resulting in no harvest of materials.

The imperial court has been empty in recent years. Although tax reforms have been carried out in the past two years, the court's income has greatly increased, especially the suppression of Buddhism and the devastation of a great tyrant.

But the most serious point is actually the problem of insufficient grain reserves. The court's finances increased, but the grain could not be changed at once.

When encountering a major disaster, the imperial court warehouse was short of food and the people had no spare food at home. This was the dilemma after the chaos. Neither the imperial court nor the people had any spare food overnight. Once the disaster occurred, they would be famine.

No one can change this situation. Under normal circumstances, only three years of good fortune can you have a certain reserve of surplus grain, and only nine years of good fortune can you truly enrich the peace.

The great famine in the first year of Zhenguan was also thanks to locusts. The drought and locust plague were the most terrible, but because the locust was launched in a timely manner, these locusts became relief food, which eased a lot of disasters.

Locust powder, dried locusts, and porridge can make the people at least survive.

But last year, the disaster was plagued and barely survived. This year, it was no longer possible to continue. People had no food for locusts.

When large plains such as Guanzhong, Henan and Hebei encounter large areas of famine, it becomes more and more difficult. Unlike mountainous areas, where food is gone, you can still rely on the mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water, get some animals, fish, shrimps, shells, etc. to satisfy your hunger, and you can no longer get some wild vegetables and fruits.

On those large plains, once they are barren and have nowhere to be harvested, the dense population cannot even grab the bark of trees, and can only eat soil.

The court and the emperor actually have money in their hands now, but the problem is that money cannot turn into food.

The court has plundered money from various disaster areas to rescue disasters, and the prices of grain are no longer suppressed in all regions. Anyone with the ability to get food, no matter how high it is, but the problem is that the gap is too big, and it is too difficult to transport it from the south. It is always a drop in the bucket and it is difficult to solve the problem.

In the end, the court had to let go and allow everyone to eat after leaving their hometown. To put it bluntly, the court was helpless and left the keyboard with both hands and let the people operate it themselves.

Just eat, just go begging for food.

The government is powerless to go as far as you can, and you can get as much as you can.

This is actually the most terrifying thing, which means a real disaster.

How many people will starve to death when they leave their hometown and beg along the road?

The most terrible thing is that during this turbulent autumn, a major epidemic broke out during the famine. Soybeans suddenly broke out in Beijing.

The so-called sour sores are also called smallpox.

It is said that the smallpox virus in the Central Plains was first introduced from Jiaozhi. During the Han Dynasty, the sisters in Jiaozhi rebelled and the imperial court sent Ma Yuan to lead troops to fight against the rebellion.

Ma Yuan quenched the Jiaozhi Bang family rebellion and returned to the court. Half of the soldiers in the Southern Expedition died, most of them died of miasma. Later, doctor Ge Hong argued that most of the soldiers in the Southern Expedition at that time were actually infected with soybeans. Because they were obtained by the barbarians, this soybean was also called the soybean.

The Central Plains have always been afraid of wild places such as Lingnan, and they say that there is a lot of malaria. In fact, the most important point is that there is a smallpox virus in Lingnan. Once an outbreak of infection, it will be extremely harmful. Many of the southern army of the Central Plains fight against barbarians without any effort, but in the end they often die more than half of them, most of which are outbreaks in the army, many of which are captive sores.

Smallpox began to be introduced to the Central Plains after Ma Yuan's expedition in the south of the Han Dynasty. After that, it would explode from time to time, making people feel sick of sores.

No one knows why the enemy sores broke out in Chang'an City this time.

Some people say it was brought by Feng Ang and other southern barbarians who came to Beijing.

Some people even suspect that when Feng Ang came to Beijing last time, he deliberately brought patients with ulcers or things used by patients with ulcers to spread the situation.

Of course, these are unfounded speculations, but many people in Beijing believe them.

The sucrose spread quickly in Chang'an. The King of Zhou was not the first to be infected, but he was the person with the highest status of death.

In fact, the entire pass is now beginning to spread the sores.

But at this time, due to famine, the people were forced to go out to flee, which increased the path and speed of spread.

Now the imperial doctors have come up with two ways to diagnose and treat ulcers. One is to apply bee secret all over the body, or cook coho semen with honey, and then drink frequently.

The second method is to boil the saccharin with water, then dip it in medicine to apply the sore surface. You can also use wine to immerse the saccharin with sore surface.

Although these two prescriptions are verified prescriptions and have certain effects, they are not very effective. Especially the second prescription, which is soaked in wine and applied, will make people feel pain.

Because of the outbreak of acne, people now feel the acne, but they are helpless, and even the prince is infected one after another.

In order to pray that their children can escape acne, the people have started to spontaneously raise money to build acne temples.

Some people even invited the statue of Qin Lang in the Heavenly King Temple, who had made contributions to the locust-killing temple, and actually gave Qin Lang a part-time job as a pox god.

Therefore, people come to Pingkangfang Weigong Mansion every day.

Because Qin Lang was not here, Duke Wei had to close the door. Otherwise, someone would probably come to the Qin family with acne-deep child to seek medical treatment.

Later, I don’t know who spread the rumor that it would be useful to dig out the soil at the base of the wall of the Duke of Wei’s mansion, mix it with egg whites, and apply the sore surface after mixing well.

So people came to dig the corners of the Qin family every day, but they couldn't stop them.

It even made the price of eggs in Chang'an City soar.

Later, the prescription was reported, saying that it was a tiled from the Qin family, and it was cooked in vinegar, then ground into powder and taken, which was effective.

Then many of the Qin family's tiles were stolen, and Chang'an's jealousy was stolen.

Qin Lang was so amused that he had become acne god.

In order to prevent acne, everyone is really trying everything they can do.

Qin Lang made great contributions to fighting locusts, and that was also a method of treating locusts by imperial examinations. But he is not a doctor, so how can he know how to deal with the sores of the captive?

Qin Lang asked about some data on the sores and was shocked to learn that the post-infection mortality rate of acne in Guanzhong has reached 80% or 90%. Once infected with soybeans, up to 20% can survive. Among them, half of them may have life-saving, but they will also leave marijuana seeds on their faces.

After the acne ejaculation broke out, the Duke of Wei quickly followed the advice of the medical officer and took isolation measures like the royal family, but it was not bad for the time being.

The Duke of Wei’s Mansion had long been closed, especially Qin Jun was isolated and sealed in a yard in the backyard. Even food was sent in through small windows every day, and no one was allowed to enter and exit.

"When I was in Lingnan, I also heard that I had acne in Chang'an, but I didn't expect it to be so serious!" Qin Lang sighed. Although he was not a doctor, he also knew some knowledge of infectious diseases.

When encountering infectious diseases, the most important way to prevent and treat is isolation.

Only by isolating can large-scale spread and transmission be prevented, otherwise repeated cross-infection will make the epidemic uncontrollable.

Once you lose control, you can really leave it to fate.

From the Han Dynasty to the present, so many years have passed, and doctors of all dynasties have never found an effective way to cure acne, which has made isolation more and more the most critical move.

But this year, the people were forced to leave their hometowns and go out to flee to beg for food, which made the spread of acne sores more and more difficult to control. Perhaps, the outbreak of acne sores this year was caused by the large flow of hungry people.
