The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Jiangnan, Ning Wangfu.

Zhu Chenhao stood by the lake feeding fish, in a good mood: "The disease should have spread in the capital, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise, there has never been such a disease in the world, even Wang Ji can do nothing.

If your majesty and the prince come to the old palace in Nanjing to avoid the epidemic, your majesty can take the throne without a single soldier." The masked counselor stroked his beard and smiled.

Zhu Chenhao smiled even more, turned around and praised: "Mr. Zhang's plan is good."

...

Fengtian Hall,

Yan Chengjin took out a human muzzle from his arms and gave one to Xiao Jing and one to each person: "Your Majesty, why not wear a muzzle first?"

It was the beginning of spring in March. If it was influenza, the human muzzle would have a little effect.

Emperor Hongzhi's face twitched fiercely. This guy actually had hundreds of human muzzles hidden on him.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked solemn. In the past, major epidemics would not affect the court.

This time, half of the officials in the court suffered.

If all of them died, where would they fill the positions for so many officials?

Liu Wentai walked into the hall in a panic, his face solemn: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's a big epidemic. Huimin Pharmacy is overcrowded, and some people have fled the capital."

The number of people who went to Huimin Pharmacy for treatment was comparable to when it just opened.

He had never seen this disease before, and his body was covered with red spots, which was a bit scary.

At this time, Wang Xu, the chief clerk of the Ministry of Personnel, bowed: "Your Majesty, there is a big epidemic in the capital, please go to Nanjing to avoid it!"

Yan Chengjin looked at Wang Xu, you are the undercover sent by King Ning, right? You actually asked your Majesty to go to Nanjing?

Nanchang is King Ning's territory. In addition, some people in the six ministries in Nanjing were bribed by Zhu Chenhao.

Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao will be assassinated if they go south.

"Let's wait for Wang Ji to enter the palace before we talk about this matter."

"Now everyone is in danger. If it really spreads to the palace, I'm afraid it will be too late to leave." Wang Xu's face was full of concern.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "The palace examination is imminent, how can I escape to Nanjing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Doctor Wang is here."

Liu Jian turned slightly and looked at the threshold of the hall. He saw a foot in cloth shoes stepping in. Wang Ji appeared in front of the hall door with a medicine box on his back.

Yan Chengjin was a little nervous. There was no cure for the Black Death, and no medicine to prevent it.

If it followed the French sailing ship and spread to the Ming Dynasty, it would be a disaster.

He planned to hide for three to five years and then come out to serve as an official.

Emperor Hongzhi looked straight at Wang Ji: "Doctor Wang, do you have any clues?"

Wang Ji bowed and saluted: "It's syphilis."

Zhang Sheng, Han Wen and Wei Shen all suffered from syphilis.

Syphilis?

Yan Chengjin's heart skipped a beat. Who usually visited brothels, and he could tell at once.

He knew that Han Wen visited the brothel, but Han Wen told him that he was only here to listen to the music.

Haha, a man's mouth...

I didn't expect that Zhang Sheng also had this habit. However, when he was tired of eating at home, he went to the brothel to find a famous actor to recite poems and compose essays, which was also what scholars liked to do.

However, how could it spread so quickly? It was as if someone was controlling it and it exploded all at once.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other.

Xie Qian asked: "Doctor Wang, do you have any solution?"

"I'm ashamed, this is the first time I've seen it."

Yan Chengjin thought carefully for a moment and said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to ban all brothels in the capital. Perhaps, it can be controlled temporarily."

"Does Yan Qing's family know about this disease?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at him, and his eyes seemed to ask, has Yan Qing's family ever had this disease?

"I know." Yan Chengjin said.

Emperor Hongzhi's body was shocked as if he was electrocuted. This kid actually has a solution?

Liu Jian's eyes were full of energy. Yan Chengjin never boasted about his own ideas, and he didn't bother to ask how he knew.

"How to treat it?"

"I know the name of the medicine, but I don't know how to treat it. I can only try it first, but I'm not sure."

Does penicillin work for syphilis? He has never had syphilis, so how can he know how to treat it?

However, penicillin and amoxicillin are extremely important, and he has always wanted to develop them.

Wang Ji looked at Yan Chengjin: "Master Yan, what is the name of this medicine?"

"Prescription No. 12."

Wang Ji's pupils shrank suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Prescription No. 12?"

Prescription No. 12 and Prescription No. 13 were given by Yan Chengjin. There were only medicine guides, but no detailed pharmacology.

But Master Yan attached great importance to it and called it the king medicine, but never said what it was used for.

Unexpectedly, it would come in handy at this time.

Yan Chengjin looked at Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Lord Zhang can't preside over the palace examination. Why not let Lord Li preside over it?"

Even if we start testing the medicine now, it will take at least half a month. Besides, he doesn't know whether the 12th and 13th medicines can cure it.

Li Dongyang is also the Minister of Rites, so he can preside over the palace examination first.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Then let Li Qingjia preside over it."

"Your Majesty, this matter can't be left alone." Liu Jian said.

Yan Chengjin thought for a long time and looked at Emperor Hongzhi: "Why don't you leave it to me?"

Li Dongyang looked stunned. This boy didn't shirk responsibility this time.

"Let Yan Qingjia handle this matter. I will give you a merit. Is three days enough?" Emperor Hongzhi said.

"One month."

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up. It was a good thing to have a way to cure it.

But before he and the officials were happy, Yan Chengjin said: "If it can't be cured within one month, I have no way."

After all, he didn't know whether penicillin and amoxicillin could handle this.

…

Half a day later, the capital began to crack down on prostitution.

The people from the Wucheng Military Department sealed off all the places of prostitution and imprisoned the people temporarily.

Liangxiang,

Yan Chengjin looked at Wang Ji and said, "Medicine No. 12, take it out for me to see."

Hu Dalong brought pots of moldy things. There are many kinds of moldy things here, including rice, corn flour, beans, vegetable leaves, wood, radishes, potatoes...

There are such pots and jars in several greenhouses, and it is obvious that a lot of money has been spent.

Yan Chengjin only knows that Penicillium is obtained from mold, but he doesn't know which kind it is.

"Sir, can these moldy things really cure diseases?" Hu Dalong asked doubtfully.

Yan Chengjin thought carefully for a long time and showed a little bit of the trump card for the experiment.

He ordered people to find cotton, scrape off the Penicillium and mix it into water, pour it on the cotton layer, filter out the Penicillium, and then order people to use bamboo tubes to absorb the upper clear liquid and throw charcoal into the remaining bottom liquid.

After a while, the charcoal was taken out and wiped dry with cotton cloth.

As expected, the mycin was absorbed onto the charcoal, and the charcoal was washed to obtain a clear liquid.

"Use this liquid into the patient's body with a needle."

"Sir, can this cure the disease?"

"No, I don't know which one is the medicine."

Wang Ji and his men were speechless. Testing medicine was extremely dangerous. Shennong was almost poisoned when he tasted hundreds of herbs.

But for the sake of the people in the capital, they could only try it first. Huimin Pharmacy announced in the capital, who is willing to try the medicine? When they heard that it was Wang Ji, they all came to try.

But the person never came back.

...

Han Mansion,

Han Wen hid in the room, and shouted to the window with a painful face: "Did Doctor Wang find the medicine?"

"No, but sir, I heard that Liangxiang is testing the medicine."

"Let Wang Ji come, I also want to test the medicine."

The steward looked embarrassed, but heard a stern shout in the room, urging him to go quickly.

Soon, Wang Ji came with a medicine box on his back. When he opened the door, he smelled a foul odor. Han Wen was so seriously ill.

Han Wen sat on the brocade stool with a haggard face: "You try it for me."

"Sir Han, the effect of the medicine is not yet clear, I'm afraid..." Wang Ji said.

In the past five days, although 17 kinds of medicine have been eliminated, only two kinds are left, but they are also extremely dangerous.

Han Wen nodded heavily and said: "Doctors are not punished, and common people are not treated with courtesy. If you die, this official will not blame you."
