The great plague that swept through the surrounding areas of Chang'an disappeared after two months of rage, and the people of Chang'an and all the people affected by the great plague deeply remembered the pain caused by this great plague.

They will never forget the earth-shattering cries and tears of the first patient who recovered from the recovery of the special medicine.

Of course, for the Chang'an General Hospital, which solved the great plague and paid a huge price for it, the prestige has increased again, and the status of the doctors who have obtained the status of court officials is even more lofty, and the name of Sun Simiao, the president of the Chang'an General Hospital, who developed the antidote and saved tens of thousands of lives, is unmatched for a while.

The Great Plague took more than 10,000 lives, and the number of infected people once exceeded 70,000, which can not be counted as small, of course, compared with the Jian'an Plague at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is a small matter, but the consequences and impact are as heavy, the Jian'an Plague raged for 20 years, took away tens of millions of lives, and destroyed the achievements of the two Han Dynasty for 400 years, and the consequences of the Chang'an Plague did not destroy the reform achievements of the Tang Dynasty in the past few years, but there is no doubt about it.

During the Great Plague, all departments of the imperial court stopped operating normally, in order to ensure that the elite officials were not invaded by the plague, the overload of various departments stopped, and the officials of all sizes were closed at home, except for the time when the imperial court came out to greet the government according to the ration of food, the rest of the time they hid at home and could not come out, living in accordance with the emergency regulations promulgated by Suning, trembling, and even more shocked three times a night.

The military university became a paradise, and no one was infected with the plague, but classes were temporarily suspended during the plague. All the students stayed in the dormitory, except for eating and reading books, or doing some sports, they were absolutely not allowed to go out of the gate of the military university, and a team of five hundred soldiers outside the gate of the military university was firmly guarding the military university.

Shangshu Province, General Staff Headquarters. Six. All of them stopped normal operation, and Li Ermajesty opened a council hall next to his study, and summoned relevant ministers to deal with government affairs during the special period every day, and the council hall had to be disinfected with wine every day. Daily cleaning. There is no room for omission. Strange to say, however, no one in the palace was infected with the plague from beginning to end.

Suning led 40,000 troops to settle down in Chang'an City, and distributed daily rations in accordance with emergency regulations. At the same time, check whether the drinking water is boiled, if there are still people who drink raw water, they will be punished by not having food for a day, after the suspension of normal commercial trade, the people have no way to obtain food from the outside, and after the food stored at home is eaten, they can only rely on the rations of the imperial court to survive, hoping to survive the disaster.

After developing an antidote and curing more than 100 patients, the Chang'an General Hospital announced that the plague was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, and the main reason was that the people did not drink boiled water, but drank more raw water, dirty water, gutter water, and a large number of dirty things in those waters, and the plague was caused by these dirty things, so there were not many people who drank boiled water, and the number of infections was small, and most of those who did not drink boiled water got sick.

After the matter was resolved, Suning entered the palace to see the driver, handed over the military talisman, handed over the military power, and then was personally received by Li Erma.

"Suning, you have done a very good job, you have done a very good job, you have lived up to my expectations of you, the management of the 40,000 army is only orderly, the plague has not caused chaos in the past two months, and you have made great contributions to the treatment of the plague, but you have given all the credit to Mr. Sun, what do you want?" Li Er Majesty played with the talisman in his hand and looked at Suning with interest, as soon as the plague was solved, Li Er Majesty relaxed, and Suning did not participate in the joyful celebrations outside, but entered the palace to see himself at this time, is it mature?

Suning said with a calm face: "The minister just thinks that this is what a doctor should do, Mr. Sun is indifferent to fame and fortune, he can afford these credits, and the minister can't afford such credits, and besides, the main credit lies with Mr. Sun and the hundreds of doctors in Chang'an General Hospital, without them, this plague minister can't deal with it." ”

Li Erqi smiled and said: "If you don't find the source of the disease, I'm afraid it's not easy to configure the medicine, right?" ”

Suning said: "It is precisely because of this that the minister should not take credit, but be guilty." ”

Li Erma's brows furrowed, and then he let go, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and became interested: "Guilty?" Where is the sin? Are you killing again or setting fire again? ”

Suning said: "The minister only cares about the table to His Majesty and implements various innovations, but ignores the most important issue, or in other words, the reason why this plague is fierce, there are also ministers who only care about innovation, regardless of the reason for consolidating the results, the minister is guilty and does not dare to take credit." ”

Li Erqi asked strangely, "How do you say this?" ”

Suning said: "The reform of the Tang Dynasty from top to bottom, first from the imperial court to change, and then slowly penetrate downward, and finally reach every people, producing significant results, in recent years, reform measures have emerged in an endless stream, the imperial court reform projects are like a cow's hair, the implementation of the difficulty is not small, but the changes brought by the naked eye can be discerned, this is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, the blessing of His Majesty, the minister is the Tang Dynasty, for the Majesty. ”

Li Erqi nodded slightly, the Zhenguan innovation he led was to create a great change that had not been seen the year before, he was keenly aware that this great change can almost be compared with the great change era of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the difference is that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period China was divided, and at this time, China was unified, and he was quite complacent about this.

Suning then said: "But the minister ignored a problem, and His Majesty also ignored it, and the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces ignored this problem. ”

Li Erma asked curiously: "What is the problem?" ”

Suning said: "The largest number of people in the Tang Dynasty is the people, all policies, all innovations, if they cannot be applied to the people, get the support of the people, then these measures will be difficult to implement, if they are supported by all the people, even if the innovator is dead, the innovation can still continue, the minister also found that all the successful innovations in history have made the people of the world support and look forward to it, and all the failed innovations, in addition to the mistakes of the leaders themselves, and the people of the world are indifferent." And not involved in the situation in it.

Shang Ying changed the law, greatly changed the pattern of the Qin State, and brought the pattern of the Qin State to a earth-shaking change, the people can take the credit to the sky in one step, and if the nobles have no merit, they can only eat and wait for death, Shang Yang touched the root of the nobles of the Qin State, hated it deeply, and wanted to kill it quickly, after the death of filial piety, Shang Yang lost the biggest pillar. ended up with a car crash and died. However, the Shang Dynasty reform never stopped, and continued all the time, and finally the Great Qin was incomparably stronger. With the power of one country, the six countries of Shandong were swept away.

Shang Ying is dead. Logically speaking. All of his reforms will be abolished, and most of the reforms of the past dynasties will end up in this way. However, the Shang Dynasty Reform Law has been persisted in and no one has wavered, the reason is that the Shang Dynasty Reform Law has been supported and understood by the people of Qin State from the very beginning, and many regulations in the Shang Dynasty Reform Law have made the people of the whole country become profiteers, and the nobles are strong, but there are many people.

When Shang Ying died, the reform was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and was a great success, and even if the nobles returned to power, they did not have the courage to touch the interests of the five million people in the country, not to mention a large number of officers who had ascended to the position of real power in the army through the 20-level military merit system, and the actual controllers of the millions of Qin troops were those middle-level officers who had ascended to high positions through the 20-level military merit system, and they undoubtedly defended the Shang Dynasty's reform.

In this way, even if the nobles returned to power, in the face of the fierce eyes of the millions of Qin troops, they did not have the courage to dare to confront the millions of Qin troops, nor did they have the courage to turn their faces with the people of the whole country.

Zhao Wuling Wang Hu Fu cavalry shooting, is also a change, Guan Zhong Xiangqi is also a change, South Korea also has Shen Buharm change, or success, or failure, but the law that can be found is that the winner has the backing of the people of the whole country, no one can shake it, and the loser ignores the power of the people, ignores the power of public opinion, and single-handedly fights with the old-fashioned people.

The biggest highlight of the Shang Dynasty reform is not the 20-level military merit system, nor is it the abolition of the feudal system, the establishment of the county system, the preparation of household registration, and the "Shiwu joint sitting", but in the fact that it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people from the beginning and has been understood and supported by the people.

Besides, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Jianyuan innovation, the leader is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself, united with his cronies, trying to carry out reforms, but these reforms, the people of the world do not know at all, do not understand at all, when the reform began, when was the end of the Empress Dowager Dou, the reformers died and degraded, they did not know, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ignored the power of the people, did not learn from the successful experience of Shang Ying, and lost the dominance, and had to wait for the death of the Empress Dowager Dou to take power.

Although a large number of changes and innovations have been supported by the people, the court did not explain the content of the changes and specific measures to the people, and did not get the understanding and trust of the people.

A very important part of the reform of trade, trade with the barbarians in the north, Chang'an City became a transit city, a large number of merchants, goods, cattle and horses are gathered in Chang'an City, the time is not long, but the victory is in the number of people, people, cattle and horses have to eat and drink, but also to excrete, will also produce garbage, these garbage far exceed the output of the local people in Chang'an in the past, but the merchants and cattle and horses left, but did not take away the garbage and dung together, but stayed in Chang'an.

The previous practice has been unable to adapt to such a large garbage output, so that the garbage piles up, difficult to organize, the winter is good, the weather is cold, not easy to rot, and with the beginning of spring, the climate is getting warmer, the garbage begins to rot, the minister inspects Chang'an one hundred and eight squares these days, except for the meritorious heroes and the two cities of the east and west and other twenty square accidents, the remaining eighty-eight squares are garbage piled up, the smell is pungent and unpleasant, I don't know what year and month to clean up.

The decay of human corpses will cause plagues, and the corruption of items will also bring plagues, what does the uneaten food look like after corruption, I believe that His Majesty will find out, but the people don't care, most of these things are piled up near water, these are the source of water for the people of Chang'an, they still drink hot water in winter, and as soon as the days are hot, they start to drink cold water, and the water after being impregnated with corrupt things, drink it, what will happen? This plague is like this, drinking the polluted water, the evil spirit enters the body, and a serious illness is formed.

The Tang Dynasty is changing, the imperial court is changing, His Majesty is changing, the officials are changing, the meritorious ministers are changing, but the people have not changed! The key to the success and continuation of the Shang Dynasty reform and the failure of the Jianyuan reform lies in whether the people keep up with the pace of the reform! If the people remain the same, the innovation will fail! Whether it's the past, the present, or the future! (To be continued......)
