Thus, it’s not just Shui Yixuan who is far-sighted, but also Jiang Xue, who has been working on the front lines to promote Changchun Hall. Riding the wave of the Shui Clan’s influence, Changchun Hall quickly made a name for itself without needing much advertising, as the common people would recommend it to others for free consultations, far better than those profiteering merchants taking advantage of the situation.

After a major earthquake, there’s still the risk of an epidemic outbreak. Although all who study medicine are aware of this, not everyone can handle it well.

When Jiang Xue shared her thoughts with Shui Yixuan, he directly took her to Beiming Yi. The management of this mess in Beijing was now under Beiming Yi. It was the first time since her rebirth that she spoke with the original male protagonist. Knowing he wasn’t very talkative, she simply wrote down her points and handed them to him, then briefly explained them.

"Simply put, these bodies can’t remain here and must be dealt with quickly, as well as the deceased livestock. It’s best if there’s no mudslide. Once there’s a flood and mudslide, combined with the dead animals, the chances of an epidemic will significantly increase. It’s best to burn the human and animal bodies; it’s the cleanest and simplest method, but I fear the common people might not accept it, as the body is something received from one’s parents."

How could the ancients, who cherished even their hair, agree to burn bodies?

But if not burned, the possibility of an epidemic increases. It’s a difficult choice, and she certainly couldn’t do it. It was up to the Fifth Prince to decide.

After hearing Jiang Xue’s words, Beiming Yi instinctively looked at Shui Yixuan, who added a few more points to Jiang Xue’s remarks. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"We also need to send people to inspect the nearby mountains to see if there are any blockages. If the water from the mountains can’t flow down, forming a dammed lake, continuous aftershocks could cause floods and mudslides. Although there are no mountain ranges around Beijing, for the common folk below, it’s extremely dangerous. After all, more than ten villages were buried by a landslide from the biggest earth dragon’s movement a few nights ago, so we must be vigilant."

Beiming Yi, sitting in his wooden wheeled chair, nodded lightly after hearing Shui Yixuan’s words: "This is already being done."

The ancients did have their own version of geologists; some specialized in studying these phenomena, and there are many documents. So anyone who has studied earthquake history could deduce the reasons for such events.

"As you said, persuading people to burn the bodies might be very difficult."

"If persuasion fails, then bury them deep, both the human and animal bodies. Do not drink untreated water, make sure it’s boiled. Minimize the danger as much as possible."

Beiming Yi usually wore a golden mask. Although she read the novel, she couldn’t imagine his exact appearance. Those eyes, especially bottomless, made her feel that he was a deeply scheming person. Despite his few words, his focus was always on the main point, unlike Tang Fengyu, who liked to beat around the bush.

Due to the severity of this disaster, the soldiers in Beijing were insufficient. Coinciding with the Four Countries Conference, various major organizations had gathered in Beijing. Beiming Yi, adhering to the principle of not letting anyone go unused, requested a decree from the Emperor. The Shui Clan and Beiming Yi were jointly responsible for Beijing’s security and post-disaster arrangements, meaning the two people who hadn’t interacted before would be seeing each other daily.

Considering their unfamiliarity and her being a woman, Jiang Xue wisely left after speaking. Yet after a few steps, she was knocked to the ground by a man in a hurry. His shoulder was so solid that Jiang Xue, exhausted for days with arms too weary to lift, couldn’t withstand the impact. She fell to the ground instantly, and by the time the man realized it, she was already half sprawled out.

"Oh dear, what’s the rush? That really hurt!"

Tang Fengyu, after bumping into her, quickly came over to help. Upon seeing such a delicate beauty, even with rain-soaked hair and a slightly disheveled look, her charm wasn’t diminished. As someone naturally drawn to beauties, Young Master Tang’s eyes lit up.

"Young lady, I’m sorry. I was in such a hurry that I knocked you over, truly my apologies. Look, your clothes are all wet. Why not come to my shop and find something suitable to change into?"
