79 了却山中寇贼事(三)(1 / 2)

三国之最风流 赵子曰 1704 字 2023-03-31

老子云:大兵过后,必有灾年。

为什么呢?

一则,打仗会破坏农田,二则,打仗会死人。

破坏了农田,就会缺粮,死人一多,就会传染疫病。

如今果如老子所云,缺粮、疫病这两样接踵而来了。

相比缺粮,疫病更加可怕。

“饿”不是病,不会传染,当缺粮之时,固然有饿死的人,可只要官寺赈济及时,就像赵郡这样,赈施的粥虽然稀、虽然少,两天或三天才放一次粥,可有这一口吃的,至少大部分的百姓能吊住一点命,不致成为道边倒殍,但伤寒等疫病却是病,并且有极强的传染性。

依以往疫病的经验,这个伤寒只要得上,贫民、流民基本就是有死无活。

贫民、流民平时就吃不饱、穿不暖,对疾病的抵抗力极低,免疫力很差,又没有钱求医,郡县官寺拿出来分发的那点药汤便且不说够不够分,就算分到他们头上也只是可怜兮兮的一点,可能今天有了、明天就没了,完全是杯水车薪,聊尽人事罢了,根本没有什么大的用处。

对贫民、流民是这样,对达官贵人、豪强士族,伤寒等疫病也是催命鬼。

甚至,伤寒等疫病给达官贵人、豪强士族造成的恐惧比给流民、贫民造成的还要大。

达官贵人、豪强士族有粮,贫民、流民缺粮无食的时候,他们衣食无忧,最多有好心肠的出些粮食,办个粥棚,行点善事,如此而已,他们不用担心会被饿死、冻死,可疫病一来,它可不管你是“尊”是“卑”,一视同仁,只要你传染上就有丧命的危险。

诚然,达官贵人、豪强士族有钱,可以请医延治,可按时下之医疗条件,能否治好却也是五五之说。

贫民、流民每日挨冻受饿,官寺两三日赈放一次的那点稀汤寡水,吃下肚去,转眼就没,连够走两步路的力气都没有,天天内受饥火,外受寒冷的折磨,说是活着,实则生不如死,荀贞去过流民聚住的棚区,入眼蓬头垢面,到处肮脏不堪,简直是人间地狱,这种日子过久了,很多的人也就麻木了,对生死可能也就看淡了,不在乎了,染上疫病,死就死了,反正不病死早晚也会饿死、也会冻死,都是一个死。

达官贵人、士绅豪强不然,他们日子过得好好的,有坏良心的还能借此饥荒、趁机低价买奴婢、买田地,发一笔横财,可是突然伤寒来了,他们的惊慌骇怕可想而知。

上一次天下大疫是在熹平二年,距今不过才十一二年,换而言之,赵郡绝大部分的人都是熹平二年那次大疫的经历者,当时的惨状他们每个人都看到了,几乎每个里、每个家族里边都有病死的人,而且病死的不在少数,乃至有的里、有的家族都死绝了。

“十二年前疫病,夺走了小民长子、幼子之命,去年贼乱,夺走了小民次子、长孙之命,年底饥荒,夺走了小民幼孙之命,今一开春小民仅剩的次孙又染上了疫病!天,天!小民做了什么孽,你要这样惩罚小民?”

从相府出来,荀贞驱车前去县外的兵营,路上见到一个白发苍苍的老者跪在里门口,仰着头、伸着双臂在向天悲呼。

戏志才也看到了,皱了下眉头,敲了敲车厢,示意车夫放慢车速,招手把一个护从在车外的府吏叫过来,说道:“那老者在胡言乱语些甚么?什么‘小民做了什么孽’,什么‘惩罚小民’?胡闹!去,把他带去邯郸县寺,交给邯郸左尉周仓,叫周仓好好管教管教他。”

中尉府日常的公文案牍都是戏志才一手包办,於今他在赵郡的名气不大,可在中尉府里却很有威望,仅次荀贞,得了他的吩咐,那府吏不敢怠慢,忙应诺领命,转身要去,荀贞叫住了他,说道:“告诉周左尉,就说是我说的,请他马上组织吏卒巡行县内、县外,不许百姓有去淫祠祷祝之举,不许百姓私聚,三人以上无故不许聚饮。”

那白发老者先后有五个子孙死在战乱、饥荒以及十余年前的疫病中,仅存的一个孙子又染上了伤寒,悲伤难抑,乃在里门口跪呼问天。要说起来,这只是一个老人的悲痛之言,似没有必要大功干戈,而戏志才、荀贞两人均非苛刻之吏,却接连下令,一个命将此老者送去县寺,一个更命周仓要严密监管治下百姓,不是因为别的缘故,是因为这老者高呼了两次“天”,触动了他们的敏感神经,让他俩不约而同地想起了黄巾道。
