"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't be able to take this measure."
Baron Kevin suddenly interjected: "Duke Lyman has sealed off the slum shack area before, but the people inside tried their best to escape, and they didn't play their due role at all. ”"Hmph."
Hearing this, Owen couldn't help but snort coldly and pointed out the reason pointedly."
The reason why Duke Lyman failed was because he was sealed and finished, without providing any guarantees, and he didn't care about the lives of the inhabitants inside."
He then said that grid management is not a simple lockdown, and managers need to understand the situation of residents in their areas of responsibility and meet their basic living needs, such as distributing food and water."
This ......"
Hearing this, Baron Kevin felt that the new king's request was a bit unrealistic."
Wouldn't it be too much of a task?
To do what you say, we are seriously understaffed on our side. ”Taking care of the food, drink, and Lazar of the residents in the area in charge of the area, if you think about it, you know that this task is extremely tiring."
It's a lot of work."
Owen also did not deny it, "But if you want to control the plague quickly, you have to do it." ”Then, he said: "As for the shortage of manpower, there will be a group of people's troops arriving in Fengsui City in the future, and if it is still not enough, we will pay to recruit civilians to join the epidemic prevention team." ”"Your Majesty."
Viscount Jarvis, who had not spoken just now, asked in a deep voice: "You asked the residents to stay at home as much as possible, but what about those who are homeless?"
”"I've thought about this for a long time."
Pointing to an area on the map, Owen said, "Define this place as a temporary resettlement area, build improvised wooden sheds, and allow the homeless to move here and provide basic livelihoods." ”Homeless people, to put it bluntly, are homeless people and beggars on the streets, who move around the city, rummaging through food to eat or begging from others.If one of them is infected with the plague, it is simply a super-spreader and must be centrally managed."
There is another question, how will this food be distributed?
What is the amount to be distributed?
”Baron Kevin asked again."
Does that need to be said?"
Owen replied without hesitation: "Just open the warehouse and release the food, according to the number of family members, go door to door and distribute enough food rations for them for a week for free, and then once a week until the lockdown is lifted." ”During the lockdown, residents had no income from their jobs and most people had little money to spare, so the free distribution would have reassured them and encouraged them to cooperate with the measures.Moreover, in doing so, it can also crack down on unscrupulous black market traders.Avoid having problematic food being served on the table and causing other problems."
Your Majesty, this ......
Not so good. ”Baron Kevin frowned slightly, and said with some worry: "With such a large amount of grain distribution, the grain reserves in Fengsui City will be consumed at an accelerated pace, and if it is kept blocked, I am afraid that it will not survive this autumn's harvest."
Moreover, a large part of the grain stored in the granary is used to support the Red Sand Fortress, without them, the Red Sand Fortress army can only go hungry in the winter to fight against the undead monsters. ”"Don't worry, even if the warehouse is open and the grain is released, I will transfer the grain from other places to replenish the shortage."
Last year's bumper harvest in Dawn City was Owen's greatest confidence, and in order to control the plague, he could not spare the price he should pay."
Well, I see."
Baron Kevin had fully grasped the new king's determination to defeat the plague.Compared with the selfish nobles who only cared about their own escape, this new king always had the people at heart, and this was a qualified ruler.It was a great blessing that Fengsui City could have his help.Next, Owen went on to explain other precautions for epidemic prevention measures.For example, the patient's excrement cannot be discharged casually, but should be concentrated and sent to deal with it; The body of the deceased should also be properly disposed of, and the family should not be allowed to touch it at will.Before ordering the new anti-epidemic measures, Owen made a new requirement that managers explain to the people why they did so, not just brandishing weapons and driving people hard.For example, patients and their families must be separated.You can't just pull them away without saying a word, explain to them that if you continue to stay together, you may catch the plague, and reassure the family that the caregivers at the medical point will take care of the patient.After all the explanations were done, Owen finally said: "Okay, you two hurry up and command everyone to implement this set of stricter epidemic prevention measures, the sooner effective protection is established, the sooner you can defeat the plague." ”"Yes!"
The two were ordered to retreat.Leaving the castle of the lords, Baron Kevin gathered the town hall staff and guards and assigned them tasks.Viscount Jarvis sent someone to inform the KPA stationed at the dock and let them enter the city immediately.The KPA left only the basic defensive force on the battleship King, and the vast majority of the soldiers lined up in a neat formation and entered Fengsui Castle through the East City Gate.The two sides will cooperate with each other to jointly implement the new anti-epidemic measures established by Owen himself.Of course, it will not go so smoothly at first, and the public does not understand why such strict anti-epidemic measures are being taken.They are only allowed to stay at home and are strictly forbidden to go out, do they want to starve people to death?
After many explanations by the management staff, this has won the "trust" of most people.To be honest, many people actually choose to actively cooperate with this epidemic prevention measure in order to get free food.Whatever their original purpose, it is enough to ensure that the anti-epidemic measures are put in place.As for the very few who did not want to obey, they were directly arrested and locked up in dungeons for violating epidemic prevention measures.Wait for the plague to pass before releasing it, and you can't let those people run around and destroy the current epidemic prevention situation.In addition, the three prescriptions were copied into multiple copies, distributed to the physician, and began to boil the potions for the patient to drink as Owen had requested.In the afternoon of the next day, the cement steamer finally arrived at the Fengsui City wharf, and the People's Army quickly moved the supplies from the ship and transported them into the city.They were then tasked by Viscount Jarvis and scattered across the districts to provide services to the inhabitants.With the addition of this group of soldiers, the current shortage of manpower has been greatly alleviated.Still, Owen ordered a group of civilians to be recruited into the anti-epidemic team, mainly selecting those who were willing to work from the homeless population.Epidemic prevention in the city must be in place, and the villages outside the city cannot be ignored, and maybe there are already infected people who have fled the city.When he had a little more manpower, Owen gave a new order, sending a team of KPA soldiers who could ride horses out of the city once a day to patrol the city.While inspecting the surrounding villages, he preached the knowledge of epidemic prevention and told the village chief that if a patient was found, he would immediately isolate him and inform them to go over for treatment.
