Fortunately, I went to Tianzhu this time?

When Zeng Cheng and the other big guys heard Zhu Jinsong's shameless statement, their hearts were as messy as being trampled by tens of thousands of alpacas.

As the dignified Emperor of Ming Dynasty, he left behind a lot of state affairs and harem without caring about it, and took a group of killers from the Governor's Office of the Five Army to travel to the Tianzhu for a while. When he came back, he had to say that he was fortunate that you went to Tianzhu.

Then we want to ask you, are you still shameless?

Just as Zeng Cheng and the big guys were secretly complaining, Zhu Jinsong ordered Ke Zhiming to tell the story about the old port and Lan Fang again, Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, received information in the old port and Lan Fang.

The speed of transferring animal resources is much faster than Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs know in the morning.

After Ke Zhiming briefly told the story of Old Port and Lan Fang, Zeng Cheng and Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs couldn't help but feel scared.

Unlike the barbarians in Europe who linked the Black Death to bathing, Zhongyuantang has attached great importance to epidemics since ancient times. Cao Zhi described the plague in "Talking about Epidemics" "Every family has a corpse of pain,

There is a sorrow for crying in the room, or it may be killed by the door, or it may be destroyed by the family."

If Cao Zhi was in a relatively long time from the Ming Dynasty, then the nearer plague in the late Ming Dynasty was enough to be called a heavy lesson. The plague began in the sixth year of Chongzhen, and was located in Shanxi. It was reported in the 14th year of Chongzhen.

When he arrived in Hebei, and as Li Zicheng's army spread to more areas, it was spread to the capital in the 14th year of Chongzhen, which made "the children in the neighborhood have a shadow, with coffins and no coffins, and the count of nine gates has exceeded 200,000."

When Gou Chengzi soldier led his troops to the capital, he was already facing a dead city where "humans and ghosts are mixed, and people dare not move at dusk."

Before this, although the Ming Dynasty's national power had reached a point of failure, the entire court could still hold the attitude and determination of "all Liao can be restored". The officers and soldiers could maintain a certain offensive against Gou Chengzi, and the situation was completely corrupt.

It was after this plague that Jianlu also took great advantage.

Therefore, in the face of epidemics, whether it is caused by natural factors or artificially, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs' first reaction was to completely extinguish it.

However, what's more fucking is that Lan Fang and the old port are a certain distance from Zhongyuan. Even if there are troops stationed in Lan Fang and the old port, the army and the government will have pre-problems to deal with, I'm afraid there is no way to deal with the barbarians' large-scale throwing of bodies.

Solve the problem as soon as possible.

If the epidemic spreads again, wait until the news about Lan Fang and the old port reaches the entrance of Zhongyuan Hall, and wait for the court to react, the situation in the old port and Lan Fang may have completely lost control.

Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs knew very well that if... if... if the mobilization of troops into Lanfang and the old port cannot be solved, the situation is completely out of control and irreversible, then it can only completely seal the old port and Lanfang to ensure that

The epidemics in Old Port and Lanfang will not spread to the Central Plains.

This kind of destruction has happened many times in ancient history. If the epidemic is transmitted from Lanfang and the old port to the Zhongyuan Hall, according to the population of the Zhongyuan Hall, people know what will eventually mutate into.

Including those epidemics that disappeared in history, almost one of them is counted as one. They all died because there were enough people, which caused a large population vacuum and lost the transmission conditions before they naturally disappeared. Very rarely because of the mild controllable epidemic variation.

Or if there is any treatment method, it disappears.

Plague and smallpox are almost the two most direct examples.

Fortunately, Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, happened to be near Lanfang and the old port. He could directly make decisions without waiting for the court to make decisions. He immediately started to make a steady progress from Jiaozhi, Siam, Xianglin, Yunguang and other places. The doctors and medicinal materials and other resources were mobilized to directly block the epidemic in Lanfang and the old port, and the barbarians were unable to cause any storm.

But before Zeng Cheng could beg for many bigwigs, Zhu Jinsong continued: "This time it's better. I happened to be in Old Port and Lan Fang at that time, but what about the next time? If I happen to be Not there?"

After Zhu Jinsong said this, Zeng Cheng and others' faces that were just a little bit more beautiful suddenly became ugly again.

It is indeed as Zhu Jinsong said. Judging from the madness of the barbarians, if this time it was not Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, happened to be in the Old Port and Lan Fang, even if the Old Port and Lan Fang could settle this time. The epidemic will definitely cost a considerable price.

Needless to say, the Ming Dynasty Treasury must have put a few bowls of blood out.

Just when I think of this, Zeng Cheng and the big guys were a little unhappy. If it weren't for you, Emperor Zhu, wanted to fish, he specifically asked the troops stationed in Laogang and Lan Fang to slow down, but I was afraid that before the barbarians would make a mistake. The barbarians have been eliminated, and at least they will not give them the barbarians the chance to play the tactic of throwing corpses and poisoning.

So, don’t you, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, have no responsibility at all?

After a while of silence, Zeng Cheng said, "Your Majesty, I think that if similar situations happen in the future, the local garrison and garrison should be dispatched as soon as possible, kill what should be killed, and catch what should be caught. You can't give the barbarians a chance to dig up corpses."

Zhu Jinsong's face immediately turned dark.

What does it mean? As long as I want to catch a fish, I still have a problem, right?

But when he thought about it, Zhu Jinsong felt that it was indeed his own fault.

If I hadn't wanted to fish in the old port and go back at one time, the troops stationed in the old port would have solved the problem long ago.

When Zhu Jinsong thought of this, he felt even more unhappy. Once Zhu Jinshuang was unhappy, it would naturally make Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs even more unhappy.

Zhu Jinsong snorted coldly and said, "The Ming Dynasty does not have troops stationed in all places. If a group of barbarians in Europa or the silly thief eagle gets sick, it happens to be brought to the Ming Dynasty by someone who doesn't know how to die. , wouldn’t that be a huge disaster?”

"If you don't say anything else, just talk about Yin Di'an. In addition to the descendants of the Anglo-Saxon robbers, a large part of the original natives were led by the Anglo-Saxon robbers, except for the descendants of the Anglo-Saxon robbers who were scalped. The disease that went to the world was killed by the scourge.”

"Some diseases may not be considered a disease for the Anglo-Saxon robbers, but they are deadly enough for the Indigenous people."

After Zhu Jinsong said this, Zeng Cheng and the big guys' faces became unfair.

It was not until a long time later that Zeng Cheng carefully said: "Since that is the case, we should make more doctors and clinics in the Ming Dynasty. Only doctors and clinics have become more. When facing this situation in the future It will be easier to solve."

Zhu Jinsong nodded, "This is a way."

"At present, there is only one doctor per 3,000 people in the Ming Dynasty. Although it is much better than the situation where there are few doctors in the Europa barbarians, it is really hard to be considered a drop in the bucket.

superior."

"My requirements are very simple. The Royal College Medical Branch will distribute a separate discipline to analyze the medicinal properties and principles of action of various medicinal materials, and strive to synthesize some more common drugs in the future."

"For example, when people experience wind-cold or wind-heat, they only need to buy some ready-made Chaihu Decoction or Mahuang Decoction and so on and drink it. I believe this is not very difficult."

Zeng Cheng nodded and said, "This is indeed not difficult. It is just that doctors treat diseases. They always pay attention to looking, listening, asking, and touching. They pay attention to one person and one prescription. Different people and different symptoms should be used for different medicines. According to Your Majesty

As I said, although it is convenient, the effect may not be good enough?"

Zhu Jinsong shook his head and said, "I don't ask how good this effect is, I only ask these prescriptions to be universal."

"If ten thousand people suffer from external cold and most of them use Mahuang Decoction to be effective, then Mahuang Decoction is universal. You can prepare Mahuang Decoction in advance and find a way to make it without boiling or low heat.

For martial arts, the larger the amount of potion that can be drunk in a pharmacy or clinic, the cheaper the price, and the more convenient it will be for the people."

"More importantly, wherever there is an epidemic, and which prescription is effective, it can be called directly on a large scale in large quantities. It is only beneficial but not harmful for the prevention and control of epidemics."

After Zhu Jinsong said this, Zeng Cheng and others thought this method was reliable.

In fact, local governments in the Ming Dynasty also had reserved medicinal materials to deal with possible epidemics.

It is precisely because of this that Zeng Cheng and a group of bigwigs just now felt a little confident when they heard the problems of Laogang and Lan Fang.

However, it is undeniable that the amount of medicinal materials stored by the governments in various places in the Ming Dynasty was not very large, and they were all in bulk. After careful consideration, it was indeed not as simple as the method mentioned by Zhu Jinsong.

Thinking of this, Zeng Cheng nodded and responded: "I will discuss with you my colleagues and see how to solve this problem better."

Zhu Jinsong nodded, nodded, but then changed his mind and said, "By the way, when George III and Louis XVI were in India, they promised that England and France would send some troops to India to help us.

When the Ming Dynasty recruited Tianzhu barbarians as laborers, they would clean up the barbarians over there and use those barbarians to mine copper mines for our Ming Dynasty."

"In addition, England has a copper mine in the Sri Lanka colony. The specific reserves are not clear now, but George III also promised to sell it to Ming copper mine at a low price."

"In other words, the Ministry of Personnel does not need to rush to draw officials to Tianzhu now, and the Ministry of Revenue does not need to rush to transfer people to Tianzhu again. It is possible to wait for the steam locomotive and telegram to be repaired.

Then draw."

"In addition, after the incident between Lan Fang and the old Hong Kong, I have another idea, that is, to spread the telegrams throughout the Ming Dynasty. In this way, if similar things happen again, the court will know immediately and will not go back and forth on the road again.

The delayed military aircraft was delayed."

As soon as Zhu Jinsong's words fell, Zeng Cheng and the big guys entered a painful mode of looking at each other.

It doesn’t seem difficult to cover the entire Ming Dynasty. After all, it’s just to prepare more copper wires, solve the problem of waterproofing, and then bury various lines, and set up machines that can send and receive telegrams between each city.

Just like the route from Royal Academy to Forbidden City, the difference is that it will be more complicated. It may take some time for the Royal Academy to complete it.

The problem is that this kind of thing is just easy to say, but it is very fatal to do it. First of all, it is the copper mine problem.

Although George III and Louis XVI have promised to recruit workers for the Ming Dynasty and to use those workers to mine copper mines for the Ming Dynasty, how can I just talk about turning the copper mine into copper wire?

Even if the problem of copper wire is solved and the problem of waterproofing is solved, then do we still have to dig holes and bury threads in the future?

Therefore, the problem returned to the origin again. The Ming Dynasty needed a large number of people to dig holes and lay lines.

Of course, this problem is not the most troublesome. After all, a large part of things like telegraph can be built with the railway. Let those workers dig holes and bury lines when building the railway. The difficulty is not very high.

big.

The real problem is that these copper mines cannot belong to the Ming Dynasty. If Sri Lanka is taken directly, the cost of mining copper mines and then making copper wires will be much smaller. Now Sri Lanka still belongs to England, so the Ming Dynasty has to pay.

Buy copper from England.

Will England make money if it is tied like this?

Let England make money, wouldn’t it mean that the Ming Dynasty lost money?

Liu Huaiwen said with shamelessness: "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm stingy, but that Sri Lanka is the port used by Zheng He to rest when he voyage to the West. What's the matter with those barbarians?"

Zhu Jinsong laughed and said, "I heard from a great sage named Lu Shuren that whenever someone says that this matter is not a matter of money, then this matter is mostly a matter of money."

Liu Huaiwen's face froze and said stubbornly: "This is really not a matter of money!"

Zhu Jinsong laughed again and said, "Okay, okay, I don't care if this is money."

"It is impossible to make some money from the English barbarians now. How many times are there in the Ming Dynasty? I believe you, the Minister of Revenue, should be very clear. Even if you occupy Sri Lanka now, can you still be able to make enough

Many people have moved?"

"If possible, I can now command Sri Lanka, and even force George III to give Sri Lanka to the Ming Dynasty."
