Chapter 91 Auspiciousness
"Mountain Chief."

The emperor didn't dare to wait in place to let the other party come over, so he quickly walked several dozen steps to the front of Xue Gong Shan Chang Lian Xuan Xiao and Tantai Le Shan.

"His Majesty."

In front of the other courtiers, Lian Xuanxiao raised his hand at will and gave a cross-hand salute, then took a wide sheet of paper with pictures on it from Tantai Leshan and handed it to the emperor.

Emperor Yu took the picture. This is an exquisite map of Chang'an. On it are carefully drawn the buildings, fields, bridges, canals, rivers, vehicles and pedestrians of Chang'an.

The only thing that makes people feel uncomfortable is that there are a lot of dense black dots scattered in it, which is boring to see.

Emperor Yu frowned and said, "This is."

"The Chang'an malaria outbreak that was supposed to start this fall."

Lian Xuanxiao glanced at the queen, minister and Cheng Juxiu who were beside him, and said solemnly, "The result given by [Changan Weijing]."

Emperor Yu's eyelids twitched, and the Minister of the Household and Taichang Siqing shook their bodies and looked at the blueprint subconsciously.

The alien object of [Changan Weijing], codenamed [wei-1-17], can be said to be the most important weapon of the state of Yu.

Its function is to give a pre-rehearsal result based on the condition in the form of a Chang'an map after inputting a certain condition.The farthest can predict the scene of Chang'an City in three months.

It is equivalent to an oracle machine whose scope is limited to Chang'an City.

For example, set the condition as [The water transportation system failed to deliver the grain to Chang'an City],
The results of the prediction given will show the shortage of food in those places in Chang'an City, how much the price of food will rise, and how many people will starve to death because they cannot afford to buy food.

Or, when the unusually hot summer comes, set the condition to [Use a talisman to ask for rain and rainfall],
So not only can it predict whether the rain is successful or not,
It is also possible to predict whether Chang'an City will return to normal after the rain is successful.

There are two [Changan Weijing] in total, one is placed in the Dongjun Building of the Academy, and the other is placed in the depths of the palace-due to the high cost of using [Changan Weijing], the cumbersome and complicated use process, the prediction results need to be interpreted by a special person, and after use There will be a cooling-off period,

Therefore, even if it is the Sixth Division, if you want to use the [Changan Weijing] alien object in the palace to predict the future results of important policies, you need to report to the chiefs of the three provinces and submit the plan to Emperor Yu.

For hundreds of years, [Changan Weijing] has never made a mistake, and even if it makes a mistake, it has been misinterpreted by man-made reasons.

And when this picture was handed over by the head of Xue Gong Shan, there was no doubt about its correctness and credibility.

There is bound to be a malaria outbreak in Chang'an this autumn.
Or which year was malaria free?
Emperor Yu frowned and said solemnly, "Does the Chief of the Mountain ask me to prepare the Imperial Physician's Office, the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, and the Drug Collection Bureau to deal with malaria in advance?"

Among the three major medical institutions in Yu country, Shang Pharmacy Bureau and Drug Collection Bureau serve the royal family.
The Imperial Physician's Office oversees the national medical administration, not only educating and training physicians, compiling medical books, but also providing medical treatment for officials, troops, servants, palace servants, and foreign chiefs such as Qu Shuai.

The problem is that there are only more than [-] people in the Imperial Physician Department.
Among them, there are a large number of administrative staff who manage financial documents and cashiers such as Fu Shi and Zhang Gu, as well as pharmacists and pharmacists who are not directly involved in medical treatment.

The few doctors who can really come in handy are already extremely busy seeing patients for officials, the army, and palace servants every day, and they are too late and unable to treat the ordinary people in Chang'an City.

Even if you know that malaria is coming, all you can do is to prepare the medicinal materials in advance.

This is when Yu State has a school and pays more attention to medical care than before—at the beginning of Yu, the permanent staff of the entire Imperial Medical Office was only 340 people.

"Do not."

Lian Xuanxiao shook his head and took out the second blueprint.

This map is roughly the same as the first one, both of which are the topographic map of Chang'an.
The difference is that on this map, many open water channels have been flagged, a lot of woodland grass has been levelled, and pond potholes have been filled.

The most important thing is that the black spots on this drawing have been greatly reduced.

"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the cause of malaria is not evil spirits or malaria ghosts, but mosquitoes."

Lian Xuanxiao said solemnly: "In the second picture, it just covers the open water canals in the city, eradicates the grass and stagnant ponds that are prone to breeding mosquitoes, and uses wormwood and other things to smoke and kill the mosquitoes.

The outbreak of malaria this fall will be wiped out.

Saved thousands of people.

I urge Your Majesty to first try out the mosquito control strategy in Chang'an, south of the city, in order to see the effect. "

"Malaria is caused by mosquitoes."

Empress Xue lost her voice in shock, and the Minister of the Household and Taichang Siqing on the side were even more shocked.

Malaria is one of the most terrifying and most harmful large-scale diseases in the world. No matter the New Bodhisattva Sutra or the Sutra of Persuading Goodness, both "abuse and death" are ranked first.

Any Yu person with common sense knows what it means to be able to prevent malaria—every household does not have to worry about sudden bad luck, and the army of Yu can continue to advance south and west.

Malaria and miasma are roughly the same disease, called malaria in the north and miasma in the south.

The Zhou State to the south of Yu State, the six states of Nanzhao to the southeast, the Jing State to the west, and the [-] barren mountains to the southwest were not conquered by the State of Yu. First, they also had practitioners.
The second is because of the miasma—any case of miasma malaria can kill tens of thousands of Yu soldiers, make Yu pay a very painful price, and get no territorial gains.

"Mountain Chief,"

Yu Emperor's mind was like electricity, and he instantly understood the value of this discovery - the national policy of the entire Yu Kingdom will be changed for the next hundred years. The monarch of the country expands again.

Emperor Yu immediately took a deep breath and said solemnly, "If it wasn't for the seal, I would definitely serve you for the mountain."

"His Majesty,"

Lian Xuanxiao interrupted Emperor Yu's words with a strange smile, "This is not the credit of the old man."

"That"

Emperor Yu turned to look at Tantai Leshan next to Lian Xuanxiao, who saluted with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this is not the discovery of this minister either.

But some time ago, I heard it mentioned by a scholar named Li Ming'ang in Kuangzhou. "

"Scholar from Kuangzhou?"

Emperor Yu and Queen Xue spoke in unison, raising their voices,

The expressions on the faces of Minister Tobu and Taichang Siqing were extremely wonderful.

Cheng Juxiu opened her mouth, not knowing what to express.

Cheng Juxiu actually arrived in Chang'an this morning. When he heard the news that Li Ang was sentenced to be unable to practice cultivation by Xi Yangyu, he immediately knew that this was because Xi Yangyu had an old affair with Pu Liuxuan, hated the house and Wu, and deliberately embarrassed Li Ang.

Since the final exam was still in progress when Cheng Juxiu returned to Chang'an, Li Ang was already in the exam room.

Cheng Juxiu made a decisive decision. Through his classmates in Hubu and Taichang Temple, he informed the Minister of Hubu and Taichang Siqing about the midwifery forceps, and invited them to go to the imperial city together to present the auspiciousness of the midwifery forceps to His Majesty.

Hoping for things to turn around.

But looking at it like this, Li Ang cured the Duke of Yan and discovered the cause of malaria, so the mountain chief and Tantai Leshan Siye came to the imperial city to congratulate His Majesty.
He's had an amazing two or three months.
Well, even if you don't pass the final exam, you will definitely be admitted by the mountain chief.

Cheng Juxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but heard the slight footsteps from far to near.

An eunuch's attendant walked over quickly, "Your Majesty, the final exam of the Academy, some candidates have already finished their answers."

"So fast? Isn't this year's final exam difficult? Since he is the champion, bring him into the palace and let me meet."

Received two pieces of excellent news in one day, Emperor Yu was in a good mood at the moment, he stopped talking abruptly, and said with a strange expression: "Wait, what's the surname of that candidate?"

The eunuch didn't know what he meant, and answered honestly: "There are two candidates who have finished their answers, one surnamed He and the other surnamed Li."

Emperor Yu turned his head and looked at Empress Xue and the mountain chief, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"His Majesty,"

The head of the mountain shook his head and smiled: "It's not in a hurry to let him enter the palace now.

The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, seeing Chang'an flowers in one day.

Young man, let him be happy again. "
