Chapter 561 Competing in the Central Plains (53)

Four years later

The summer of the second year of Yan State 360 ​​(572)
It is rare for the world to spend four years of peaceful life in peace. In the past four years, Zhou Qi, Chen Yan have lived in peace and developed peacefully, and the living standards of people in all countries have improved a little, especially Zhou Chen.

Through various reforms, Zhou Chen Erguo's people's livelihood and economy have been quickly restored.

During these four years, the Turkic people in the grassland also went to the west to compete with Sasanian Persia for the control of the city-state, and temporarily had no time to take care of eastern affairs.

Sasanian Persia attacked on both sides, resisting the Turks to the east while attacking the Romans (Byzantium) to the west.

The State of Yan sent envoys to the Turkic Khan tent to discuss specific trade matters between the two countries.

The State of Yan has always been interested in the livestock and labor in the grassland, and the Turks are also interested in the weapons and equipment of the State of Yan. Both parties can benefit from each other.

After the Turks defeated the hostile tribes in the war, they directly sold the men and livestock of the hostile tribes to Yan State, and the women stayed to give birth to their own tribes.

In addition to establishing trade relations with the Turks, there is also the daily reduction of Goguryeo and the strengthening of the city defenses of Nanfuyu City and Woju City.

And after an expedition team went deep into Hurricane Island, they discovered many cannibal indigenous tribes.

These cannibal indigenous tribes, they will eat the corpses of the dead in their own tribe to prevent food waste, and they especially like to eat the brains of the dead.

The expedition team found that those tribes seemed to have a genetic disease, and many people liked to giggle and make some inexplicable behaviors.

This disease is recorded in medical books, that is, it is often accompanied by this disease in some areas where famine breaks out.

Therefore, divine doctors called this disease [famine disease], but they did not know why famine areas were often accompanied by this disease (prion/prion).

Doctors in the Central Plains also called this disease "plague", which is a kind of "plague".

Everything can be a plague, as long as it is a disease that I don't understand, I call it a plague.

Compared with the medical level of the Central Plains, the medical level of Yan State is still higher.

But when the doctors in the Central Plains still regarded this disease as a plague, the doctors in Yan State already understood that this disease was not a plague, and even named it [Famine Disease].

It's just that the doctors of Yan State are nothing more than that. They know that this disease is not a plague, but they don't know exactly what it is and why this disease was born.

Yan State [Miraculous Doctor Institute] was very surprised after hearing this. According to the description in the book, the characteristics of this disease are very similar to [Famine Disease], but don’t famine diseases usually break out in famine areas?How come indigenous tribes who don't have famines also have this disease?
The Yan people in the Renaissance era were very skeptical. When the contents of the books conflicted with the reality, they did not doubt the reality, but the books.

For them, the ancients were not perfect, and the books written by the ancients were not 100% correct. The truth of the matter needs to be explored by themselves.

If this happened to the Central Plains, it must be questioning the reality, and firmly believing that the books written by the ancients cannot be wrong, and what is wrong is the real society.

"It is impossible for the ancestors to make mistakes, and it is treason to question the ancestors!"

They are superstitious about the absolute authority of the ancients. As long as they are ancient people, ancient books, and ancient events, they must be upright, and ugly and dirty things will only happen in the present time and space.

"Perhaps the famine disease does not only occur in famine areas, but is more likely to occur in famine areas?"

A Yan Guo doctor put forward such a hypothesis.

Bold assumptions and careful verification are important reasons why the level of medicine can continue to improve.

In order to study whether there is a direct connection between the famine disease and the famine, [Miraculous Doctor] applied to Yan Jun for 100 slaves to conduct experiments. After Yan Jun agreed to this matter, it was handed over to Jiuqing for review, and most of Jiuqing agreed Finally, Yan Jun selected 100 Goguryeo slaves and handed them over to the [Miraculous Medical Institute].

[Miraculous Medical Institute] put these [-] Goguryeo slaves on an uninhabited deserted island in the Ryukyu Islands, and then only provided water but no food. I wanted to see if these experimental subjects would break out of "famine" under the famine sick".

The reason why Japanese slaves and Sanhan slaves are not used is because the Japanese and Sanhan people were exterminated by the Yan State a long time ago, and there are no Japanese people in this world.

After just a few days like this, the Goguryeo slaves on the deserted island began to eat each other, eating each other's flesh. In the end, only three Goguryeo slaves survived.

But the three Goguryeo people still seem to have no problem, they don't seem to be infected with famine disease.

However, the [Miraculous Medical Institute] still locked them in the laboratory and put food and water sources every day.

Because according to the hundreds of years of research by the team of doctors in Yan State, some diseases have an incubation period. It broke out after a year.

So these three Goguryeo people were locked in the laboratory, and they didn't have to do anything every day, they just slept on the bed and waited for the miraculous doctors of Yan Kingdom to feed them food.

Even in order to prevent the three experimental subjects from committing suicide and lead to the failure of the experiment, the genius doctors also applied to Yan Jun for the right to use a prostitute, and arranged for a prostitute to serve the three experimental subjects every day, so as to relieve the boring mood of the experimental subjects and allow the experimental subjects to quickly Live happily until disease breaks out.

It was this boring waiting for them for four years before the outbreak of the famine disease finally came.

One of the Goguryeo experiments, when having fun with a prostitute, gradually contorted his face and began to lose control of his body.

The prostitute was taken aback. The Goguryeo man on her body became very terrified, and could only repeat movements mechanically.

In the following months, this Goguryeo man became more and more demented, and his interest in having fun with prostitutes became less and less. He used to be excited when he saw a prostitute, but now he has no feeling for a prostitute at all.

She giggles every day and behaves very strangely. She looks like a three-year-old mentally handicapped child.

The miraculous doctors of the Yan Kingdom were very happy. They finally discovered that the famine disease was indeed related to the famine, but the specific relationship and how it came about, they still hadn't known. This required them to continue to conduct more experiments. .

Compared with the records in the books of the ancients, they believed in the results of their experiments more.

The power to control the plague has always been the dream of the rulers of the Yan Kingdom. Even if the car overturns frequently and accidentally leaks pathogens, causing the death of people on an island or even a city, the ruling class of the Yan Kingdom will not hesitate to continue to study the plague and strive for an early date. Take control of this mysterious and powerful force.

It doesn't matter if the people die, they can be regenerated, and they die, but the power of the plague must be controlled!

When Yan State was developing medical technology on a daily basis, the Supreme Emperor Gao Zhan of Qi State died of illness, and his son Emperor Gao Wei was in charge.

As early as two years ago, Gao Zhan passed the throne to his son in advance in order to be able to indulge in adultery in the harem wholeheartedly, and he himself used the identity of the Supreme Emperor to sing and sing in the harem every night.

In two years, the beauties in the harem completely emptied his body, and the Supreme Emperor Gao Zhan successfully died on the woman's belly.

Gao Wei was not an easy-going lamp either, as soon as he started to be in charge, he massacred the clan and forced the ministers and ministers to present their daughters to the harem.

He also suspected that King Lanling and others wanted to usurp the throne and planned to kill King Lanling. Even if King Lanling resigned and returned to his hometown and wanted to go back to the mountains, Emperor Gao Wei still refused to let King Lanling go. kill.

Qi State killed Lanling King Gao Changgong and other loyal officials and destroyed the Great Wall. At the same time, Zhou and Chen also experienced political turmoil.

In the state of Zhou, the emperor Yu Wenyong planned to kill the power minister Yu Wenhu, and finally regained the power that belonged to the emperor.

After pro-government, Yu Wenyong vigorously promoted the Han people, such as Yang Jian (Pu Liurujian), hoping to use the power of the Han people to help the Great Zhou unify the world.

More importantly, he followed the example of Liu Song in the Southern Dynasties and increased the examination ratio when recruiting officials. There are even some official positions that can only be held after passing the examination.

During this period, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and the examination system coexisted. Some officials entered the court through the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and some officials entered the court through the examination system (later developed into the imperial examination system).

The imperial examination system did not suddenly replace the Jiupin Zhongzheng system at a certain moment. It was a long process, which began at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and lasted until the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

Just as the firecrackers in Yan State did not appear suddenly, but gunpowder was accidentally discovered during alchemy as early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After hundreds of years of continuous research and development, the current firecrackers came into being.

The aristocratic parliamentary regime in Yan State did not appear suddenly, but evolved step by step from the behavior of family members in the early ancestor Kang's period to discuss the future development direction.

As for Chen Guo, a small incident that had little impact happened two years ago, that is, the clan power minister Chen Xu abolished the young emperor Chen Bozong and became emperor himself.

In this process, it is inevitable that some people will not accept and rebel, but in the past two years, they were all eradicated by Chen Xu.
