- "Prince"
"Prince"
After a fierce battle for half a night, the next day when Chao Yong was still sleeping with Wang in his arms, He Yong started shouting outside the house. (Literature Museum r />
Chao Yong was about to get dressed when he saw the plump Wang also woke up, so he shouted: "What's the matter?"
"The princess is in labor."
When Chao Yong heard that Hu Sanniang was giving birth, he immediately got dressed.
Wang did not dare to be jealous and was busy helping Chao Yong get dressed.
Chao Yong arrived outside the Ruizhu Palace and stopped a palace maid carrying hot water: "How is the Crown Princess doing?"
"Mr. Wen said it's very good. The Crown Princess has given birth to a little princess again. This time it will be easier."
"That's good, go in quickly."
Chao Yong walked around outside the hall for half an hour before he heard a loud cry of a baby coming from the hall.
The maid in the room shouted in surprise: "It's a prince."
When Chao Yong heard that he had given birth, he couldn't bear it anymore and walked quickly into Ruizhu Palace and went straight to the bedroom.
When the maids saw the prince coming in, they all retreated to both sides.
Hu Sanniang was looking at her son who was being carried to her by the palace maid. When she saw Chao Yong coming in, she said happily: "It's the prince."
Although Hu Sanniang knew that her position would not be shaken, and Chao Yong also promised that the future throne would belong to her son, she was still anxious when she saw eight more princes in the palace.
Chao Yong nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Hu Sanniang saw the full love in Chao Yong¡¯s eyes, and the pain on her body became much lighter.
The two talked for a while, and Hu Sanniang suddenly said: "Prince, do you want to vaccinate Feng'er?"
Chao Yong was stunned and said: "What kind of pox are you getting?"
¡°After vaccination, you won¡¯t get acne sores.¡±
Chao Yong asked doubtfully: "Acne?"
"People infected with acne will develop sores on their faces and bodies. In severe cases, they will die. Even if they are cured, pockmarks will remain on their faces. I heard that some time ago, many people in Fangzhou were infected with acne. The imperial court only It can seal off the house and prevent the spread of acne.¡±
Chao Yong thought for a while and suddenly said: "You are talking about smallpox."
Smallpox has been eradicated in later generations, so Chao Yong did not remember what the acne was for a while, but he did learn the knowledge of treating smallpox. We also know that before cowpox was widely used, China invented variola to prevent smallpox, and then spread it abroad, which led to the invention of cowpox.
Hu Sanniang said doubtfully: "I have never heard of the name smallpox."
"Then how to vaccinate against acne?"
"Take the child's scab and grind it into fine pieces. Then let people touch it. After the vaccination is successful, they will have fever for a few days, and they will not be infected with acne in the future. If it fails, people may be directly infected with acne."
Hu Sanniang asked the imperial doctor carefully. When it comes to the consequences of failure, some fear is also revealed.
Chao Yong has basically determined that the acne is smallpox, and said: "You didn't vaccinate Feng'er before, so the success rate must be low, right?"
"Well, during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, there was a miracle doctor in Mount Emei who vaccinated Wang Su, the son of Wang Dan, the prime minister at that time, with variola to prevent acne. The imperial doctors in the palace also learned how to vaccinate against variola. However, later on, many people were directly vaccinated against variola. He was infected with acne, so the emperor of the Song Dynasty rarely vaccinated him. Some time ago, when acne appeared in Dengzhou, the Imperial Medical Bureau sent someone to inquire about it, so I didn¡¯t dare to ask the imperial doctor to inoculate anyone in the palace. "
Chao Yong naturally knew that the people at the Imperial Medical Bureau were just doing it on a routine basis. Most people who asked the uterus would still refuse, but if they didn't ask, once someone in the palace got sick. At that time, the Royal Medical Bureau did not mention the matter of vaccination, so it would be inevitable to face charges if investigated.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Then why do you want Feng'er to be vaccinated again now?"
Hu Sanniang glanced at the newly born child. Said: "If Feng'er doesn't get vaccinated, he won't be able to have contact with his younger brother according to the palace rules. They have been separated since childhood, and I'm afraid they won't be close to each other when they grow up."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "You are right, but human pox is still too dangerous. Cowpox is used to treat acne. I will send people to look for cowpox right now. We will all be vaccinated against cowpox later, so we won't get acne in the future."
Hu Sanniang felt relieved when she heard that there was a solution.
Chao Yong chatted with Hu Sanniang for a while, then asked Hu Sanniang to rest, and then sent someone to ask for the miracle doctor An Daoquan.
An Daoquan traveled thousands of miles with the army, preventing and curing the plague in the army. This time he also received many rewards for his meritorious service. It was the time when the spring breeze was proud.
Chao Yong met An Daoquan at Yanfu Hall, exchanged some pleasantries, and said, "How is the acne over there in Dengzhou?"
An Daoquan was in charge of the Imperial Medical Bureau and was naturally familiar with the situation in Fangzhou. He said: "The local officials dealt with it in a timely manner, and the court transferred two more people overnight."The new soldiers blocked Dengzhou and prevented the acne from spreading. No acne patients have been found in several nearby state capitals, and the lockdown has been lifted. However, the epidemic in Dengzhou is very serious. There is no cure for acne, so the city can only be isolated by neighborhood to prevent mutual infection. Now more than 20,000 people have died in the city, and some people are still getting sick. I don¡¯t know how long this acne will last. The Royal Medical Bureau has sent people to vaccinate people in the city with variola, but variola is prone to failure, and I am afraid that many people in the city will refuse to be vaccinated with variola. "
Having said this, An Daoquan couldn't help but sigh. Although he was known as a miracle doctor, he couldn't do anything about acne.
Since the discovery of acne in the Eastern Han Dynasty, famous doctors in the past dynasties have done a lot of research, but they have been unable to cure acne. After the Tang Dynasty, the frequency of acne outbreaks began to increase. All people could do was to block off the affected areas and let the people in the affected areas fend for themselves. When Wang Dan asked the Emeishan miracle doctor to vaccinate his son with variola, it was because the capital was ravaged by pox at that time. As the leader of all officials, the prime minister could only set an example and take the lead in vaccinating his family with variola. However, after a few people were vaccinated, cases of failure began to occur, and the vaccinated people directly contracted acne. Although it was later proven that successful people would indeed not contract acne, no one in the capital's elite dared to take the risk of getting vaccinated.
Chao Yong didn't need to think about it, he also knew how desperate the people in Dengzhou were. There was no cure for acne, and those who were sick could only wait to die, while those who were not sick could only be locked up in the city because of the incubation period of acne. , waiting for the epidemic to end, I have to worry every day. Perhaps the soldiers were afraid of getting sick and did not dare to deliver food. As time goes by, I am afraid that not only will they die of illness, but many people will also starve to death.
"Acne can be prevented and cured by planting cowpox. I will ask the court to search for cows with cowpox in various places. Then you will send imperial doctors to vaccinate the people of Dengzhou first, so that people who are not sick in the city do not have to worry about cowpox."
An Daoquan asked in confusion: "Vaccinium?"
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Vaccinium is very similar to pox, but its toxicity is much weaker. There is basically no death after vaccination with cowpox. Once the vaccination is successful, you can be immune to pox."
An Daoquan is quite skeptical. Cows are much stronger than humans. For the same disease, cowpox should be more toxic than human pox. However, he also knew that the prince was a god descended from heaven and could not be mistaken.
"Okay, as long as I find cowpox sores, I will take the imperial doctor to vaccinate the cowpox first, and then go to Dengzhou to treat the people."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "After you find cowpox, you first inoculate me at Xuandemen. I will prove to the people that cowpox is harmless."
An Daoquan said hurriedly: "The prince is in the world, how can he take risks with his own life? I am a doctor. If I can find a way to prevent acne, I will be willing to die."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Vaccinium is not dangerous, and I proposed cowpox. I should be the first to be vaccinated. If I am vaccinated, the people can accept cowpox immediately."
An Daoquan also knew that no one could match the influence of the prince. He nodded and said: "What the prince said is that there are many cows raised in the palace. We can look for cowpox in the palace. After the prince is vaccinated, we can promote it throughout the world. There is no need for a court." If you work hard, people will take the initiative to look for cowpox.¡±
¡°Okay, then you take people to search among the cows raised in the palace to see if any are suffering from cowpox.¡±
Chao Yong asked An Daoquan to go down, and then came to the palace with his own soldiers.
Chao Gai saw Chao Yong entering the palace. He smiled and said, "Didn't I let you rest for three days? The military situation in the north is not so urgent."
In the first month of the second year of Tianqi, the Jin State captured Zhongjing of the Liao State. The Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao State was chased by the Jin soldiers and fled everywhere. In March, Prime Minister Li Chuwen, Dutong Xiao Qian and others supported Yelu Chun, who was left in Nanjing, as Emperor Tianxi, and demoted Yelu Yanxi to the title of King of Xiangyin. In April, the southwest of the Liao Kingdom summoned the envoy Yelv Buddha to pay gold. The Jin people took the opportunity to capture Xijing.
Now the Liao Kingdom can be said to be divided into two, and Yelu Yanxi fled on the Shangjing Road. Yelu Chun proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, and Xijing, Zhongjing, and Tokyo were captured by the Jin Kingdom.
Chao Yong led the troops after receiving the news that Jin State was using troops against Liao State.
"I'm not here for military affairs in the north. I heard about acne today. Empress Jiutian Xuannv once gave me a way to prevent acne by inoculating with cowpox. I want to publicly vaccinate acne in front of Xuande Gate to set an example for the world. Let the people be vaccinated against cowpox so that we will no longer suffer from acne."
"good"
When Chao Gai heard that there was a way to prevent acne, he couldn't help but stand up and said happily: "This acne will be raging every few years, and every time the court can only seal off the affected area, there is no way. The people who studied the imperial doctor No one dares to vaccinate against pox. With this cowpox prevention, pox can be prevented from raging.
Without acne, in a few years, the population of Daliang will surpass that of the Song Dynasty. "
This is undoubtedly what Chao Yong likes to hear the most. He smiled and said: "There is no shortage of land in Daliang. There are still thousands of miles of uncultivated land in the Annan Kingdom."In the future, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures will definitely be taken back. Our Daliang area is still vast and sparsely populated. The father can encourage the people to have children, and the court can reward those who have more children with land, money and materials. "
Chao Gai nodded and said: "Well, the court does not charge agricultural taxes and exempts people from corvee labor. The people should have surplus food at home. As long as the court gives a little reward, they will have more children."
Chao Yong said: "If we don't collect agricultural taxes, the people will not receive more than three or five dan. Once the harvest is good, the price of food will inevitably drop. The people's income may not increase, and the court needs to make preparations early."
Chao Gai said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. After the harvest, the court can purchase a large amount of grain and stabilize grain prices. The liquor house you built is a big food eater. Haohan Liquor is very popular in the Liao and Jin Kingdoms, but last year the grain harvest was poor. , the Ministry of Household Affairs can only limit the output of the spirits house. Now the spirits house produces 200,000 jins of spirits every month, with an income of 100,000 guan. Except for the tens of thousands of jins sold domestically, the rest is sold to the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom by sea. . The Jin State captured many state capitals of the Liao State, and the wealth of the Liao State also fell into the hands of the Jin people. I heard from people who sold spirits in the Ministry of Household Affairs that the Jin people were already addicted to alcohol, and after tasting the hero's wine, they spent money like water. Even if we produce one million catties per month, we can sell them all in Jindi.¡±
Chao Yong smiled and said: "In that case, let's sell all the Haohan Wine to the Kingdom of Jin. The Liao Kingdom is already declining. If we use Haohan Wine to draw their blood, I'm afraid they won't be able to support it for long. The Jin Kingdom is all Once the savages from the mountains and forests border us, even if we don't go to the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, those savages will definitely become greedy when they see the prosperity of the Central Plains. Sooner or later, they will inevitably have a war, which will weaken the heroes. The strength of the Jin Kingdom can also supplement our treasury."
Chao Gai nodded and said: "After the Jin Kingdom captured Xijing of the Liao Kingdom last month, I discussed it with Wu Yong and the others. The Ministry of Household Affairs will sell more Haohan Liquor to the Jin Kingdom, but it should not be too obvious. There will still be some sales here in China.¡±
"The Xijing Road of the Liao Kingdom is the territory of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. When the Jin Kingdom captured Xijing, didn't they inform me, Daliang?"
"No, last year the envoy from the Jin Kingdom came to Tokyo. After the imperial court rejected the Jin envoy's proposal for the two countries to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom never sent another envoy. After the Jin Kingdom occupied Xijing, many people petitioned to send troops northward. Take back the Sixteenth State of Yanyun and conquer the world with your troops. Now my subjects think that I am invincible in the world."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Hedong and Hebei have already replaced our new soldiers, and the elites of each ministry can be mobilized at any time. The Ministry of War can go to war with the Kingdom of Jin at any time. But can the food and grass of the Ministry of Revenue still keep up?"
Chao Gai shook his head and said: "Now the imperial granary has bottomed out. It is unable to support the war. Moreover, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were also hit by drought last year. This year's war will probably leave them deserted. Even if they reluctantly send troops to recapture one or two state capitals, it will be enough." We can only stop helping the people.¡±
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Without food and grass, we cannot send troops, but the imperial court may be able to attack the Han people in Nanjing. The Jin Kingdom has captured Xijing. It can then attack Nanjing from the west and the north. Nanjing must be panic-stricken. I If Daliang unites the Central Plains, the Northern Han people will definitely want to join us. Besides, the Jin Kingdom is still a group of barbarians. It should be a good choice between our Jin Kingdom and Daliang."
Chao Gai shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. If you insist that all the soldiers and horses in the newly returned land be disarmed and return to their fields, those leading generals may not be willing to give up their military power and join me in Daliang."
Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "Since the national policy has been set, it cannot be changed. Although I also called in barbarians when I wiped out the Yue and Li Dynasties, it was just a temporary measure. I, Daliang, want to ensure a stable rule. There must be a strong Han army. Over time, I want the five armies from Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Fujian, and Jiangxi to take turns entering the Annan Kingdom to wipe out the remnants of the Yue and Li Dynasties, and at the same time let them adapt to the southern climate. Guarantee that my soldiers and horses from Daliang can fight in the south and north. I wonder what my father wants?"
Chao Gai nodded and said: "You can make the decision regarding the Ministry of War. By the way, let's talk about cowpox. What is cowpox? Where can I get it?"
"Vaccinium can also be said to be acne, but the disease is caused by cows. The toxicity of cowpox will be much less. As long as the cowpox is transplanted into humans, we will develop immunity after we have a fever, and we no longer need to be afraid of acne."
Chao Gai nodded and said: "It sounds the same as variolation, but there shouldn't be many cows infected with cowpox, right? If there is only a small amount of cowpox, it is impossible to vaccinate everyone."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "We can artificially infect all cows with cowpox, and then we can extract cowpox in large quantities."
Chao Gai also understood immediately and said with a smile: "Yes, in this way, we can raise a group of cows and specifically extract cowpox."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Well, the imperial court can set up additional epidemic prevention bureaus in various places to vaccinate the people and monitor various epidemics at the same time. Once an epidemic is discovered, imperial doctors can be sent to prevent and treat it."
"Okay, this is a good idea. After you plant cowpox in Xuandemen, I will ask people to set up an epidemic prevention bureau. However, there are only three hundred medical students and only forty students in the upper body. We need to set up epidemic prevention bureaus in all state capitals. I¡¯m afraid it will take a while.¡±
After Chao Yong started writing mathematics and physics, he also got to know the colleges of the Song Dynasty. The Imperial College could be said to be the department in charge of all education. The Imperial College had jurisdiction over four colleges: Taixue, Martial Arts, Legal Studies, and Medicine.
Taixue is a place to train civil servants, martial arts is a place to train generals, law is a place to train judges, and medicine is naturally a place to train doctors.
"Vaccination does not require a doctor. Just make a small wound on the arm and inoculate the cowpox. However, doctors are still needed to monitor other epidemics. Today's medicine recruits too few students. The people can live without officials, but they cannot live without doctors. There is also law school. The law school in our dynasty also inherited the system of the Song Dynasty. Only officials and candidates were admitted to school. It can be said that the literati were allowed to learn the law before becoming officials. However, there are many laws and regulations. With the development of society, the law There will only be more and more officials, and it is impossible for officials to remember all the laws in a short time. Therefore, Erchen suggested that the enrollment of medicine and law should be expanded, and a special subject should be opened to select scholars from law, so that they can go to the local area to handle cases full-time. "
Chao Gai smiled and said: "Since you like education, I will also hand over the Imperial College to you. You can handle these things as long as you can cultivate useful talents for the court. After the world is unified, the military will gradually decrease. You have to deal with some things for dad."
Chao Yong also believed that education is the foundation of a strong country. He nodded and said, "Okay, the child will definitely share his worries for his father."
"By the way, there is also the matter of your aristocratic academy. After the news of Jiangnan's payment for knighthood spread, squires from all over the country asked the court to allow them to also pay for knighthood. In the past, all dynasties had more or less payment for knighthood. However, the people have never been so enthusiastic about the matter of money and grain conferment. After discussing with the other five ministers, I have allowed all walks of life to pay money and grain for the conferment of knights. Now there are nearly a thousand barons reported from various walks of life. Ninety percent of the time, they are all here for your aristocratic college, and they are all waiting for you to start school. The court has already collected the money and food, so don¡¯t wait too long. "
"Well, after the cowpox issue is dealt with, I will start to open the Noble Academy."
Chao Yong didn¡¯t think there were many people. How could it be called an academy without thousands of people. - Didn't finish reading?
