Chapter 160: A Major Crisis on the Horizon

Duan Shaojun fell silent, indeed, the words of the abbot in his dream are not only reasonable, but close to the truth, even if he was in the era he was in, even if there were the most advanced and developed forecasting methods, but for disasters, they could not be completely prevented, and more could only be rescued in disasters.

What's more, everything is the Tang Dynasty whose priority is to save stability, even if the abbot agrees with him, what will those local officials think? Are they willing to risk the reproach of tens of thousands of people to drive them out of their homes and into the rain on the mountains? This is very unrealistic, and after Duan Shaojun calmly considered it himself, he helplessly felt that his idea was very unrealistic.

However, Duan Shaojun still did not give up. "Is it all we have to do and wait for nothing?"

"Yes, Uncle Monk, should we do something?" Chu Chu's sister also agreed with her.

"Don't worry, the teacher has already asked your senior brothers to buy food, and is going to store all the yard you used as a ward in the future. In addition, let your second senior brother and them rush back to the Hidden Dragon Temple, and bring the medicinal materials prepared in the temple to prevent the epidemic after the disaster. The abbot replied. In addition, because of the previous floods, the division specially built a house on the west hill closest to Lanting City, which should be able to accommodate a lot of people."

"Master, are you really sure that this heavy rain will cause disaster to Lanting County?" Duan Shaojun thought about it and asked towards the abbot of the dream.

"When Lanting County is hit by heavy rains that can cause disasters, the sky is dark, overcast, and rarely windy. Today's situation is almost the same as what the teacher has observed over the years. ”

"That being the case. We're not doing enough. Duan Shaojun took a deep breath. After the catastrophe. There will be a great plague. Master, we still need to do more prevention. ”

"Huh?" The abbot raised his eyebrows and said towards Duan Shaojun. "Shaojun, let's talk about it, let the teacher take a closer look."

"After the great calamity, there will be a great plague, this is an unchanging truth. Since you are sure that this Lanting will not escape the catastrophe, you and all the senior brothers will seek help in order to help from the disaster. This is not enough. Duan Shaojun took a deep breath, ignored the gazes of everyone around him, and shook his head towards the abbot of Mengfu.

For example, Shizun once said that it was impossible for the officials of Lanting to drive the people to their homes because of a flood that did not occur. However, they can still do a lot of things, such as pre-disaster prevention, disaster relief, post-disaster epidemic prevention and reconstruction......"

"Pre-disaster prevention? This division has already asked the officers of Lanting County to do it, and let them rush to the upper reaches of the river fifty miles to observe the water situation, if it is dangerous. When I will return to the horse quickly......" The dream abbot explained with a wink.

"Not enough." Duan Shaojun shook his head again. "If the disciple is an official, he should order the soldiers in the county to prepare more sacks of soil. If there is a flood in the city, you can plug the leak with a sack, at least it can reduce the power of the disaster, and in addition, send the messengers to post notices throughout the city, or let Lizheng, the village elders, the neighbors and others tell the people how to protect themselves if the water floods the Lanting, for example, if the water is turbulent, so that the people do not have to panic and flee, they can stay at home first, shout for help, and wait for people to come......"

The abbot of the dream was not very surprised from the beginning, and gradually his face became more and more serious, even dignified, but the light in his eyes was like the eyes of a kryptonite dog.

And although Li Xuan was dizzy when he heard it, when he saw the expression of his uncle who was already extremely smart, he knew that what Duan Shaojun said must have something to say, so he listened patiently and carefully.

“…… In addition, assign the county guards and messengers to guard the high places in the key positions in the city, if it is flooded with Lanting, let them notify each household to take precautions, the terrain in the west of my Lanting City is quite acceptable, and there are hills less than a mile away from the city, so you can let the county officials tell the people, if the water is too strong, no one can be left at home, you can go straight to the hills outside the west of the city, and wait for rescue......"

One by one, little by little. Duan Shaojun said while thinking. Later, the abbot of the dream simply asked Chu Chu's sister to bring a pen and paper to record what Duan Shaojun had to confess.

For half an hour, Duan Shaojun, who saw that the corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth, really couldn't take out any goods, and the dream abbot breathed a sigh of relief. "Niece Xian, and Xuan'er, the two of you will copy what Shaojun said, and make it as simple and clear as possible. Dongliang, you go to the backyard and call Jianyin to come over, and the old man will ask him to go in person to find Hu Junwei and Chen Xianling......"

"Master, what should I do then?" Duan Shaojun saw that everyone around him was busy, so he squatted here in a daze, a little unaccustomed to authenticity.

"You? You will stay with the teacher first, and if you think of anything again, you can remind the teacher to pick up the missing things for the teacher. The abbot glanced at Duan Shaojun, and became more and more satisfied with the lay disciple he had accepted on a whim.

Not only is he good at medicine, but he also has a daunting ability to learn. And the act of hunting tigers can be seen that he is quite responsible, and dares to sacrifice himself to save people. And now, judging from Duan Shaojun's words, it makes the abbot of Mengfu feel that he is sober-minded, and he has something to say, and he has been meticulous to every detail, so that people only need to do what he says.

Then, this is an inevitable disaster, and the damage will inevitably be reduced to an acceptable level. And Duan Shaojun's seemingly strange ideas, he has his own reason, and even the dream abbot was persuaded by him.

For example, when people go out of the city to escape the disaster, they are not allowed to drink rainwater, and they must boil the rainwater before drinking, so that epidemic prevention substances can enter the human body through the mouth to cause diseases. In addition, if the water recedes, it is necessary to throw more lime in the city as soon as possible to disinfect it.

The abbot also knew some of the disinfection theories that Duan Shaojun had always adhered to, and he also knew that among the disinfection supplies listed by Duan Shaojun, quicklime was the cheapest and easiest to produce in large quantities.

And Duan Shaojun really couldn't sit still, so he simply stood up and carefully considered whether there was anything missing or inconsiderate.

The sky was so gloomy that it seemed to drip water at any time, and the air was still so humid and stuffy, which made people extremely annoying, Duan Shaojun walked to the front of the house, looked at the gloomy sky, and thought of Su Su, Xu Xiangjun, and of course, the little Doudou who was a little too smart.

"Stinky boy, what do you mean by letting you stay by your teacher's side, and you actually put on a fidget?" AFTER A LONG TIME, THE ABBOT OF THE DREAM WAS FINALLY A LITTLE HOID, AND DUAN SHAOJUN KEPT WALKING AROUND WITH HIM, AND WHEN HE WAS NOT QUIET, HE SAW THAT THE BIG MONK'S EYES WERE DIZZY, AND HIS FACE WAS AUTHENTIC.

"Master, the disciple thinks that it is better to persuade some people to leave first, and if the people take the lead spontaneously, then it may be possible to reduce the disaster relief work after the disaster." Duan Shaojun glanced at the eyeballs, approached the abbot of the dream, and lowered his voice.

"What do you mean...... Find some gentry and merchants who have a lot of prestige in the city to rush to the western hills first, and let the people follow suit? The abbot stroked his white eyebrows and said thoughtfully.

"But how many people are really willing to believe in being a teacher?" After pondering for a long time, the abbot shook his head.

"Master, you are in Lanting, you must have a good reputation, right?" Duan Shaojun touched his smooth chin, and the inside of his stomach began to bubble with bad water.

"That's natural, not to mention the entire Lanting County, just to say that in Lanting City, at least eighty percent of the people come to see a doctor." The abbot of the dream was quite proud to stroke his long beard.

"Master, do you even see gynecological diseases?" Duan Shaojun laughed twice and thought that it was not right, at least three-fifths of the people in Lanting City were women, since Lanting City dreamed that the abbot had seen a doctor, wouldn't it mean that his master was even very good at gynecology, but why did the old guy never teach him a few tricks to see gynecology.

“…… You want to get beaten, don't you? After the abbot came back to his senses, his face was black, and his eyes glared at this unobtrusive guy and said angrily.

Li Xuan and Chu Chumei, who were copying next to them, neatly smeared a ball of ink on the clean rice paper. One of the senior brothers who happened to pass by hit his head on the pillar next to him, shaking the roof to dust.

"Senior brother doesn't dare, it's just a slip of the tongue, it's just a mistake of the tongue, I can't imagine that the master has done so many good deeds in this Lanting for more than ten years." Duan Shaojun laughed dryly twice and said perfunctorily.

"Nonsense, why else can my Hidden Dragon Temple be prosperous all year round?" The abbot resisted the urge to kick this guy's ass and replied angrily.

"Then there must be a lot of people who worship Buddha in Lanting City, right?" Duan Shaojun pursed his lips secretly, but he still looked deferential on the surface.

"Naturally, there are a lot, and at least thirty percent of the people in the city must be Buddhists." The abbot nodded proudly.

#####

"There is actually another trick in vain, but the people of Lanting City took the initiative to go out of the city." Duan Shaojun's eyes turned around several times, and then smiled sinisterly.

"It's all at this time, what can you do to get the people of Lanting City out of the city?" The dream bewildered the abbot was stunned, quite unbelievable, don't say that the dream confuses the abbot and doesn't believe it, even Chu Chu, Li Xuan and others are also disdainful, this thing must be nonsense.

"Then it depends on whether your face is thick enough, Master." Duan Shaojun said seriously.

When the abbot saw Duan Shaojun's fake horse ghost day, the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously, and he gritted his teeth. "You stinky boy, don't you want to calculate the Buddha again?"

"How can you, uh, you can't say that, but if you can borrow your name, the disciple is ninety percent sure that at least one-third of the people in Lanting City will take the initiative to leave Lanting City." Duan Shaojun straightened his face, unprecedentedly serious, which made the dream bewildered abbot stunned.

"Are you really sure of that?" The dream abbot Xue Mei was nervous, and looked at Duan Shaojun, who was standing in front of him, full of confidence.

"It's nature." Duan Shaojun nodded. "The disciple is really not joking. However, the cooperation of the master is required. (To be continued......)
