Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 3297 Chapter 3299 [Cowpox]

Xiang Nan inherited Zhong Yi’s teaching experience and Wu Jinghao’s medical knowledge, and knew that children’s learning should be relaxed and relaxed, and should not be pushed blindly.

 There must be enough rest time, otherwise, even basic sleep cannot be guaranteed, and how can it be possible to grow up healthily and vigorously.

 That's why he asked his brothers to start class at seven o'clock, and every 50 minutes, he would take a ten-minute break to ensure that they had time to play.

 Furthermore, Xiang Nan knows that children should not be separated from their parents prematurely, as this can easily affect the child's mental health.

 For example, children from divorced families often have various psychological defects. Children left behind in families are prone to problems with their psychological quality and mental state because they have been separated from their parents for a long time.

 That's why Xiang Nan doesn't want his elder brothers to be separated from their biological mothers at a young age and put in the care of their elder brothers.

Furthermore, no matter how hard a nanny tries to educate her, she can’t compare to her biological mother.

 In fact, the nuns who taught them were very good at using chicken feathers as arrows, and they did not take good care of the elder brothers, and even deliberately did not let the elder brothers eat enough.

 The ancients believed that "if you want to be healthy, you must be hungry and cold", so the nuns would deliberately control my brother's diet.

 In "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", the eldest brother said that he didn't have enough to eat, which is not a special case. For example, Puyi recorded in his memoirs that he often went hungry when he was a child, and even secretly ate steamed buns that were fed to fish.

 That's why he decreed that each palace should keep Brother and Ge Ge by their side and raise them by themselves.

 …

“Your Majesty’s compassion for my brother is truly unparalleled.” Lang Hua nodded and said, “It’s just my brother’s education that is related to the destiny of the country. Once you slack off, I’m afraid it will be difficult to let go of your concubine.

If they fail in their studies in the future, how can I live up to the emperor's expectations? In the future, under Jiuquan, there will be no chance to see the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty again. "

"Don't make it so serious." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I believe that all of my sons have potential. Okay, just follow my advice."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lang Hua could only nod.

 The brothers don’t need to be kept in the Xie Fang Palace, which is naturally the best thing for these concubines who have given birth.

“We are all emperors and saints, there is no need to separate our mother and son.”

“The emperor is kind and kind, knowing that we cannot bear the separation of mother and son, so he specially issued a decree to pardon me.”

“The emperor said that ordinary people can still enjoy family happiness, but how can the heavenly family be ruthless, so he issued the edict to change it.”

The concubines talked while sitting together and chatting, and they all supported Xiang Nan's decision.

 After all, when a child is left to the care of a nanny, it is inevitable that there will be some areas where the child is not taken care of well. Moreover, we never see the child. Only on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the nanny brings her and stays with her for an hour.

 The so-called mother and child are connected, how can those concubines not worry about their young children?

It's all right now. The emperor is so kind and wise that he allows the biological mother to keep her brother and princess by her side to raise her and enjoy family happiness. Naturally, they are all happy.

 …

 The ancestral system that Xiang Nan wanted to revise was not the only one proposed by his elder brother.

 After he ascended the throne, he planned to promote reforms in the imperial examination, taxation, official system, and military.

However, Xiang Nan knew that these things would not be accomplished overnight. He needed both the support of the courtiers and massive financial support.

For this reason, he specially ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a Tiangongfang covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres in Xishan Huangzhuang, preparing to make something for sale. Such as glass, steel, soap, clocks, perfume and so on. Among them, glass, soap, clocks, and perfume are all sold, while steel is used to cast guns.

 In fact, during the Ming Dynasty, China's artillery technology had been very developed. The imitation Franco machine guns and red cannons had very long ranges and were very accurate.

 Later, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to maintain the tradition of riding and shooting, they did not pay attention to the research and development and improvement of firearms.

So much so that in the 19th century, when the great powers invaded with more powerful, longer-range, and more accurate firearms, the Qing generals were even forced to use red-coated cannons imitated in the early Qing Dynasty for defense.

Compared with the advanced guns and artillery used by the great powers, it was several generations behind, so it was beaten to pieces and had no choice but to cede territory and pay compensation.

Xiang Nan naturally would not allow such a tragedy to happen again, so he had to make the Qing Dynasty technologically advanced and the country rich and its people strong, so that he could suppress internal evil spirits and resist foreign aggression.

After Xiang Nan solved the red spot curse in the world of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", he spent most of the remaining time studying mechanical manufacturing, metallurgical engineering, chemical engineering, energy engineering, electrical engineering and other subjects.

I wouldn’t say he’s an all-rounder in science and technology, but he’s close to it.

 In addition, he is now the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he is consistent in his words. Therefore, under his promotion, Tiangongfang naturally started construction soon and is expected to be officially put into production next year.

 …

On this day, Xiang Nan ordered the governor of Shuntian Prefecture to find a sick cow with cowpox and send it to the Forbidden City.

Then he summoned the palace servants and others, "Come, come, come, let's all touch this sick cow."

“Your Majesty, what are you doing?” Fucha Langhua asked in confusion.

“This sick cow has cowpox.” Xiang Nan explained.

 “Pox?!” Hearing what he said, everyone panicked.

In ancient times, smallpox was an acute infectious disease with a very high mortality rate. I don’t know how many people became distraught when they heard the pox, but they didn’t expect that Xiang Nan actually brought a sick cow into the palace and asked everyone to come up and touch it. Isn’t this? Let everyone get pox?

"Don't talk about the discoloration of 'pox'." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Cowpox is much less toxic than human pox, and once you get cowpox, you won't get human pox again in the future. This is something I can't help but learn from. Don’t disbelieve the prescriptions found in ancient books.”

“Your Majesty, is there really such a recipe?” Ruyi asked in surprise.

"Of course there is." Xiang Nan nodded, "Forget it, if you don't believe it, then let me try it first."

"Your Majesty, you are the most powerful person in the world. How can you take risks with ease? Let me try it." Lang Hua said immediately when he saw it.

 “Your Majesty, let me try it.” Su Lian said quickly.

 “Your Majesty, let me try it.” Zhao Yitai, the **** beside her, also said.

"Okay, don't fight anymore, Zhao Yitai, come and try." Xiang Nan pointed to Zhao Yitai and said.

　　"嗻." Zhao Yitai said immediately, and then stepped forward.

Xiang Nan took out the silver needle, first dipped a little pus into the affected area of ​​the sick cow, and then pricked the needle into Zhao Yitai's shoulder.

"Okay, clean up a separate room for him to live in. Send someone to talk to him through the door every day, don't let him scare himself to death." He then ordered, "Send an imperial doctor to guard you. There will be symptoms such as headache, sore throat, diarrhea, chills, vomiting, sore limbs, etc. These are all normal. Don’t scare yourself. It will be fine within 20 days at most.”

 “Thank you, Your Majesty.” Zhao Yitai expressed his gratitude.

 Subsequently, he was taken to a warehouse in the palace for isolation. There were two young eunuchs talking to him outside the door, and the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital stayed behind.
