Chapter 550： Method

hope?

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Yu Jin meant.

Zhao Shilang coughed twice and asked, "How does the prince give these people hope?"

"Let me ask Master Zhao first, how many people are gathering in the Western District now?"

Zhao Shilang knew this data clearly and immediately said, "As of yesterday, there are probably more than 28,000 people."

"What about the East Side?"

Zhao Shilang looked embarrassed: "The number of people in the Eastern District is not easy to register. Every day someone will die of the epidemic..."

Several local officials quietly wiped the corners of their eyes.

Qianhe County is considered to be a large county with a population of more than 50,000. However, a small part of the population has been lost due to the earthquake and the epidemic.

These are all real people.

"I asked the doctor. The incubation period of the epidemic is about half a month. It has been ten days since the first discovery of the epidemic. Those who were the first to arrive in the Eastern District are within a few days of this time. Why not select hundreds of people from them. Set up a camp outside the city to comfort the people? This way, after the incubation period has passed, the people in the Western District can be released from the city."

After the incubation period has passed, they can be released from the city, and these officials also plan to do the same, but they are not prepared to release someone in advance in order to be foolproof, which makes the confrontation between the victims and the court even more tense.

Although Zhao Shilang felt that it was not easy for a prince to think so for the people, he thought that Yu Jin's proposal was a bit naive, and shook his head: "Now there are nearly 30,000 people in the Western District. Has the prince ever thought about how to elect hundreds of people? One, which one is better to choose, and which one is not to choose? Do not worry about being scarce and worrying about unevenness. By then, the people who have not been selected will feel resentful and the scene may be more chaotic than it is now."

"It's a good idea not to worry about being scarce but not to worry about unevenness, so all artificial choices will not be convincing." Yu Jin said calmly.

"That prince meant--"

Yu Jin smiled and glanced at everyone, and uttered two words: "Draw lots."

Draw?

Everyone looked at each other and looked weird.

Draw lots for such a serious matter?

Yu Jin looked at the expressions of the people coldly, and sneered in his heart.

What happened to the draw? He got it by drawing lots!

Any of these people dared to say nothing, he just told the emperor Lao Tzu's affairs, and they dared to say no more.

Fortunately, although these officials felt that the lottery was not serious enough, after careful consideration, they felt that it was more feasible than other methods.

Fate is determined by drawing lots, and the fate is handed over to God's will. Those who are not selected cannot complain.

Although I think the solution is feasible, there are still too many details to discuss.

A local official couldn’t help but said: “How can we draw lots if we draw lots? Tens of thousands of people line up to draw lots. The order is different, and there is injustice? Besides, even though these tens of thousands of people are gathered in the Western District, they still After dividing the area, they are strictly prohibited from running around on weekdays, so as not to come into contact with the latent people of the disease and cause a wider infection. If these people are gathered together, the possibility of contracting the disease will greatly increase..."

Yu Jin nodded and agreed with the official's words.

Of course, he agrees with the second half.

There is a magical part of the lottery. The possibility of drawing lots is the same regardless of the order, but ordinary people think that the chances of drawing first will be higher, and he is not going to spend more time explaining this to these people.

As for officials saying that gathering tens of thousands of people will increase the possibility of contracting the disease, it is true.

"It's really wrong to get together to draw lots. Master Zhao, how many areas have the people gathered in the Western District divided?"

"Five regions, each with five to six thousand people. These five to six thousand people are divided into teams, and the teams are divided into groups for easy management."

"How many people are in a group?"

Zhao Shilang looked at the magistrate of Qianhe County.

The magistrate of Qianhe County looked at his subordinates again.

The subordinates hurriedly said: "One distinguishes six teams, and each team is divided into ten groups, each with about 100 people."

Yu Jin listened carefully and couldn't help but change his view of these officials.

Officials who really do practical things are more experienced than laymen like him.

The tens of thousands of disaster victims who were originally messed up can be managed like a health station.

It's just that getting together with emotionally charged people is much more difficult to manage than soldiers, and the rescuers have a lot of work to do, and there are not enough manpower to manage the victims, so there are so many riots.

Yu Jin pondered for a while, and smiled: "The adults are so thoughtful, and I admire Xiao Wang."

Everyone was commended by surprise, and said one after another: "The prince is utterly praised."

My heart for Yu Jin suddenly felt good.

The dignified prince can see their efforts in his eyes, which is also comforting.

"Since we have divided the groups carefully, it is easy to handle. Each group can select one person by drawing lots. It is fair and fair, young and honest, no one has anything to say."

Zhao Shilang pinpointed and counted: "Each group selects one person, each district has sixty people, and five districts exactly 300 people..."

Everyone exchanged glances.

It seems feasible to elect three hundred people out of the city.

"Three hundred people gathered outside the city after they left the city. The imperial court is temporarily responsible for the management of these people's food and drink, shouldn't it be a problem?"

Knowing that these officials are not all wine bags and rice bags, Yu Jin was a little more polite in his words.

Comparing heart to heart, everyone noticed his politeness, and his goodwill rose a lot.

King Yan is really much better than Prince...

Zhao Shilang pondered: "It's okay to manage 300 people."

Yu Jin smiled: "These three hundred people are equivalent to giving the people in the city a hope. With this hope, they can wait, instead of setting off one conflict after another."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Yu Jin's proposal.

"One more thing, Xiao Wang would like to remind everyone."

"Master, please say." Everyone said in unison.

"There must be a stricter lockdown between the east and west areas. The three women today should have come from the east area and mixed with the people in the west area without medical examination. Once there is a sick person, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhao Shilang smiled bitterly: "Manpower is tight, there will always be fish that slip through the net..."

Yu Jin was silent.

Some things are not taken for granted, he can only do his best to remind them.

"Just follow the prince's suggestion to comfort the people in the city before speaking."

In the afternoon, Shen Zheng, Yu Jin and Zhao Shilang and others appeared on the wall on time.

More people flocked to the gate, staring longingly at the young man standing on the wall.

As Yu Jin raised his hand, the chaotic scene suddenly fell silent.

After listening to Yu Jin's talk about determining who to leave the city by drawing lots, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Yu Jin raised his hand again, waited for the scene to calm down, and said, "Xiao Wang is dull, this is the best way I can think of. If you are not satisfied, please stay calm and wait until the adults have discussed. Good way."

The people couldn't help but become anxious.

Wait for those officials to come up with a good solution? Why not wait for the sow to climb the tree!

"We do!" people shouted.
