My Daming New Empire

Zhu Zhanji asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Zhonghezi asked apprentice Yuan Zhen to hand over the medicine box, opened the medicine box, took out a cloth-wrapped camphor and said, "Put this thing in the closet at home to prevent mosquito bites. It can effectively avoid the miasma. Then, are there mosquitoes in the miasma that we can’t see?”

Zhu Zhanji didn't expect that his thinking was like this, and it was very reasonable, so he just wanted to remind the other party that he didn't need it.

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "Speaking of this, Gu used a microscope to observe a drop of water. You don't know what Gu found."

"A drop of water..." Mr. Zhonghezi pondered for a while and said, "Did your Highness see that a drop of water is full of bugs?"

Zhu Zhanji patted the armrest of the chair and said loudly: "That's right! There is a large water tank in the Youjun courtyard, which is usually used to collect water from the eaves to prevent fires. That day, Gu Wen heard that the microscope was made, so he looked at it with a mirror. Dripping water, but found at least dozens of small insects, and these small insects are invisible to the naked eye.

Afterwards, the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital and research institute even observed people's saliva and even skin, but discovered an even more astonishing fact.It turns out that there are countless small bugs on our skin, including the saliva in our mouths.

Gu has often been thinking recently, this world is infinitely big, yet infinitely small, with infinite mysteries!It's just that this fact makes Gu a little unacceptable. It turns out that our body is made up of bugs! "

Yuan Zhen forgot for a moment that the grandson was sitting first, and said in surprise, "How is this possible?"

Zhu Zhanji asked with a smile: "Where is it impossible?"

Thank you Sky Ripper, Zhuge, don’t be too bright-, the super cowardly hairball, Da Sui Zhang Degong, I spit on you, the lights see people, and the rewards of running with pigs, thank you for your support

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhu Zhanji has always liked to meet people from different industries and different types. On the one hand, he can increase his experience, and on the other hand, he wants to use this integration of different circles to throw out some "shocking" theories.

The difference between superiors and subordinates is not only the size of power, but also the asymmetry of information.

And this kind of information asymmetry, there is room for Zhu Zhanji to play freely.

For example, if Zhu Zhanji directly came up with the theory that the world is infinitely large and infinitely small, it would be very abrupt.But after he came into contact with Zhonghezi, it can be said that he was influenced by Zhonghezi before he came up with this idea.

There is also information such as Jiangyou has a saltpeter mine. If he is just a low-ranking person, even if he knows that Jiangyou has a saltpeter mine, he would not dare to say it casually.

But he is now at the center of society, and everyone revolves around him. There may be no contact between them, but it is impossible to miss Zhu Zhanji.

So Zhu Zhanji can use various reasons and excuses to tell other people that Jiangyou has saltpeter mines, but others will not doubt it, they will only think that he has other information channels.

The theory that the world is infinitely large and infinitely small is a theory that he wanted to throw out very early on.After the microscope was made, he wanted to take it out, but later felt that the time was not yet ripe.

With the arrival of Zhonghezi this time, he felt that the time was ripe, and he thought it was because he was inspired by Zhonghezi that he came up with this idea.

Daoist Yuanzhen questioned Zhu Zhanji's words excitedly, and when he heard Zhu Zhanji's rhetorical question, he remembered that the person sitting first was not an ordinary person, but a future heir to the empire.

At this time, he was a little scared, but seeing Zhu Zhanji's smiling face, he said boldly: "Poverty is not questioning Your Highness, but how can this world be infinitely big and infinitely small?"

Zhu Zhanji stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "One, if the world is limited, then what is beyond the boundaries?"

Everyone was stunned, and then pondered.No one has seriously thought about this question, but when they really think about this direction, everyone thinks what Zhu Zhanji said makes sense.

Yes, how can there be boundaries in this world?If there is a wall in this world, what is behind the wall?

Zhu Zhanji continued: "Second, if we decompose something all the time, will this thing cease to exist? No, it still exists, but we don't have the ability to decompose it now.

These two different directions also represent our different research directions in the future.Investigating things to know, if you want to get the answer, you need countless people in my Ming Dynasty to study hard. I look forward to getting a definite answer one day in the future. "

Zhu Zhanji's two questions made everyone ponder. Zhonghezi was looking at the street view outside the window, but he had no focus. He stroked his beard with his left hand, but kept pinching his fingers with his right hand to calculate something.

After a while, he finally said: "The old Taoist has lived for more than 70 years, but he has never seriously thought about these issues. His Highness's words made the old Taoist suddenly understand. If you can't see it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you don't know it, it may not be the truth. An experienced doctor who has practiced medicine all his life, it is only in recent years that he has touched the threshold of the existence of small insects, but he did not expect that His Highness has already entered the door at a young age."

Although the horse was patted a bit bluntly, it made people feel comfortable when it came out of his mouth.

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "The old Taoist is over-reputed. Gu also felt it only because he saw the existence of those little bugs through the microscope. But because those little bugs are too small, they don't have the ability to learn like animals. Instinct and nature are also somewhat different from plants, so Gu named them bacteria.

Germs are everywhere.In the air, in the water, including the fruits and meals we eat.Some bacteria should be good for people, and some are bad for people, so the bacteria that cause people to get sick and poisoned are called germs. "

Neutral asked: "Can bacteria be good for people?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Since bacteria are everywhere in our lives, but we can live well, it means that we are used to the existence of bacteria. If there are no bacteria, people may not be able to bear it." .

"Take the food we eat as an example. The food at noon in summer will change its taste at night. What is the reason for this? Why does the food not change for two or three days in winter? Why does the food lose its taste after two or three days in summer Will it rot, or even grow maggots? Where did the maggots come from? Before becoming maggots, did the food we eat in our stomachs already have bacteria? That’s for sure. Then we can continue Eating, and still being full, all this shows that bacteria are good for people. But when the bacteria become germs, if you eat these meals again, you will have abdominal pain and even dysentery..."

Zhonghezi said excitedly: "There are many miasmas in the south, but less miasmas in the north, and more miasmas occur in spring and summer, because it is related to temperature! This shows that the survival and reproduction of bacteria are closely related to temperature."

Zhonghezi went on the road like this, which also made Zhu Zhanji very happy.

He can understand a lot of truths, but they are all on the surface, and he doesn't know how to continue when he talks about it.Real research still needs professionals like them to carry out.

He smiled and said: "Lonely in the microscope, the tiny bacteria I see are not exactly the same. There are spherical shapes, long rod shapes, and spiral shapes. What are the functions of these bacteria and how should they be classified? It still needs to be carefully summed up by Taoist priests and imperial physicians. Only by understanding their habits can we use them."

Zhonghezi said excitedly: "The old man dare not obey his orders!"

He came to the capital to look at the microscope, and he was thinking about how to mention it to his grandson, but now he heard what he said, so he arranged for himself to use the microscope.And he can study with imperial physicians from all over the country, how can he not be excited!

Zhu Zhanji introduced to him the taboos of the research institute at Xiamaqiao, and then stopped the topic and let Liu Chenghui and the old Taoist talk about their friendship.Lao Dao also brought letters from his parents and brothers to Liu Chenghui, which made her very happy.

The boat arrived near the Temple of Heaven and Earth on the Qinhuai River, which is located in the south of the Xiamaqiao Farm. After disembarking from here, everyone transferred to the farm's carriage.

Today's Xiamaqiao Farm can be said to be the best-planned community in the entire Ming Dynasty. The houses in the entire area are tidy, the trees are shady, the concrete roads extend in all directions, and the ground is so clean that there is not even a trace of dust.

In particular, the existence of sewers and indoor toilets, together with the fixed fertilizer pool, make the whole farm look like a villa area of ​​later generations.

Seeing such an environment, Zhonghezi couldn't help sighing: "This is really a paradise on earth!"

Yiqingzi was also quite close to this old man, and smiled and introduced him some things that he couldn't see on the surface, which made him admire the planning here.

Even Liu Chenghui listened with gusto. Although she knew this place, it was the first time she came here, so she seemed very curious.

"If everyone in my Ming Dynasty could live in a house like this, it would be a prosperous age!"

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "There will be such a day."

The convoy entered the Medical Research Institute, which was originally drawn from the imperial hospital. Some imperial physicians who were rich in theoretical knowledge and good at research, but not sociable, were arranged here.

At the beginning, all the imperial physicians regarded this place as "exile". Only a few elderly imperial physicians came here willingly because they saw the beautiful environment of Xiamaqiao Farm and wanted to spend their lives here.

But over time, the gap between the two sides emerged.Tai Hospital is a place to serve people, no matter how good their medical skills are, they are still small people in front of the royal family or ministers.

The envoys of the imperial hospital are only fifth-rank, and only 13 people are above eighth-rank, and the rest are all ninth-rank, from ninth-rank and not into the stream, so the status is pitifully low.

Although the research institute does not have those extra money for outpatient visits, there is no need to serve people, and there is no need to take risks.

And in the research institute, you can continue to study medicine, and you can live in such a beautiful environment, so in a year, the positions in the research institute are already too tight for the hospital.

Zhu Zhanji asked the Taiyuan Hospital to first scientifically classify the disciplines of buddies, and secondly to write a "Compendium of Materia Medica".

These people are much better off than Li Shizhen, no matter what medicinal materials they want, they can get them from all over the country.

For the drug test, there are also various patients to test, all these expenses are covered by Zhu Zhanji, and the research funds are very abundant.
