Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 260 Ignorant Western Medicine

Whose family does Zhang Yifan have the best relationship with?
In fact, it is not Yan Wang Zhu Di, but the Prince Zhu Biao's family. To be precise, he has the best relationship with the Crown Princess!
In the beginning, Zhu Di was opposed to the relationship between Zhang Yifan and Zhu Jingjing.It was the Crown Princess who first supported the two of them and gave them a lot of help.

It is also for this reason that both Zhang Yifan and Zhu Jingjing are most grateful to the Crown Princess.

Zhu Biao originally thought that he would oppose this marriage, but unexpectedly, he was not that pedantic at all, at least he did not stop or cause trouble.

And since Zhang Yifan married Zhu Jingjing, Zhu Biao's attitude towards Zhang Yifan has been as protective as if he were his own family member.

Now that the prince's family was invited, Zhang Yifan's family naturally did not hesitate and went to have a meal.

For Zhang Yifan, it was a year and a half since they had seen each other. Although they were in the palace today, they had actually met each other.But because Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were there, it was naturally impossible to talk casually.This time as a guest at the East Palace, it is considered a formal meeting.

Zhu Xiongying is a lot older, and he is considered to be the head of a child.However, Zhang Yifan's cub is still young, just over a year old. He can't walk yet and can't play with him.

When the two families met, the Crown Princess naturally praised Zhang Yifan for her cheerful personality. She praised him for the unexpected things he did in the north, and also praised his glass factory for being really profitable. In her own mansion, she even praised Zhang Yifan. Said: "Yifan, you don't know, the dividends paid by the glass factory at the end of last year were more than ten times more than that of the bank. Haha, it seems that many people regret it to death. You don't know, we in the East Palace are now considered very wealthy. Your brother and I are living a much more comfortable life than before! Haha!"

Once you have money, everything you do will go smoothly. As rewards continue, everyone will work very hard.

Even for the prince, the same sentence applies: having money is not everything, but being without money is absolutely impossible.

Zhu Biao smiled when he heard his wife's words, and then explained for his father: "According to the situation of Yifan's bank in Xiangshan County, the bank is making more money in the future, and the relationship is still being straightened out and borrowed out. The money won’t be returned in interest that quickly.”

The princess smiled after hearing this. She seemed to disagree with the reason, but she did not argue. She just asked Zhang Yifan about her uncle.

The basic situation of Lan Yu was included in the report. What she wanted to ask was naturally about her daily situation. Some things were not mentioned in the letter. She asked so that she could chat with her mother when she returned to her parents' home.

The two families just chatted and had dinner. Zhu Biao felt that it was almost done, so he said to Zhang Yifan: "After you left, my father thought about it and felt that your knowledge was indeed very useful, so he made two requests." !”

"Oh, what's the request?" After hearing this, Zhang Yifan quickly turned to look at him and asked.

The Crown Princess and Zhu Jingjing stopped talking and turned to look at Zhu Biao, waiting for him to speak.

When Zhu Biao saw it, he said: "New learning content that can be used by scholars at all levels needs to be compiled early for the emperor to review. If there is no problem, it must be distributed throughout the country, so as not to affect the emperor's plan to resume the imperial examination. !”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yifan looked at Zhu Jingjing and immediately laughed and said: "Look, I said give way, right?"

Zhu Jingjing listened and responded with a toothless smile.

Then Zhang Yifan turned around and told the maid next to him: "Go to Zhu Wu and ask him to bring my books."

Later generations' mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks from elementary school to high school, and others, relied on his memory to get better and better, and he had already written them down while fishing in Liaodong.

He even studied science in college, so he even wrote college courses, but he didn't bring them this time.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then looked delighted and asked Zhang Yifan, "Isn't it already written?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan nodded naturally and said: "When I was in Liaodong, I was bored, so I fished and wrote. It's a pity that I couldn't catch any fish at all!"

"Haha..." After hearing this, the Crown Princess smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed and said, "You are such a half-hearted person. Even if the fish takes the bait, it will run away already. Why do you still want to catch the fish?"

Zhu Biao also smiled, but his focus was different from his wife's. He looked surprised and said, "You are still fishing and writing books in Liaodong?"

Hearing this, the Crown Princess also came back to her senses.

You know, on the Liaodong side, no one thought that the imperial court would have an advantage from the beginning.Therefore, they thought that when Liaodong achieved such a great victory, they should be cautious, focused, and go all out, etc. However, they did not expect that Zhang Yifan actually went fishing and wrote books instead of doing business?

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan replied matter-of-factly: "What else can I do? Wei Guogong and a lot of famous founding generals are here, what do I need to worry about? At most, I set up the stage for them, so naturally I don't need to be in the opera!" "

Zhu Biao: "..."

But when he came back to his senses and thought about it seriously, it seemed that this was indeed the case.Only in this way can we make the best use of everything and show our strengths!

Thinking like this, he became a little envious and said to Zhang Yifan: "You are living a really comfortable life!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan was not humble at all. He nodded and said, "It's true. While you live your whole life, you should make yourself comfortable while doing something great, right? As long as I don't affect others, or in other words, I don't cause trouble." Under the premise of others, it is correct to do whatever is comfortable for you, right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Biao was slightly surprised, and then said with a very agreeable expression: "Yifan said it well! There are many people who only care about their own comfort and enjoyment, but do not want to cause huge consequences to others. This kind of comfort and enjoyment is unavoidable! This is the case for all corrupt officials!"

After hearing this, the Crown Princess couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said: "Yifan is the God of Wealth of our Ming Dynasty, what does he need to be greedy for?"

"Ah?" Zhu Biao was surprised when he heard this, and quickly defended, "That's not what I meant, I mean, other people..."

At this moment, Zhu Wu came over holding a pile of books.

When Zhang Yifan saw it, he smiled and interrupted Zhu Biao's defense: "Brother, the book I wrote has arrived!"

Zhu Biao had already turned his head and looked over. When he saw it, he was shocked. He forgot his previous excuse and asked directly: "Why is it so thick?"

In Zhu Wu's hand, there was a full stack.It was as high as Zhu Wu’s chin.

With so many books, the content is a bit unimaginable.Especially for the ancients, before the popularization of vernacular writing, they were all concise and concise, without even punctuation marks. It is even more obvious how much content there is in such a thick stack!

Of course, in this dimension, Zhu Yuanzhang has already decreed that all official documents must use vernacular and punctuation to prevent problems with understanding.At this time, Zhu Wu, with the help of the palace maid, put down the books and retreated. Zhu Biao immediately stood up and went to read the books.Even the Crown Princess stood up and, accompanied by Zhu Jingjing, gathered around.

Zhang Yifan naturally had to go there, at least to introduce him a little bit.

In fact, the books in front of me have been simplified by Zhang Yifan, and many examples have been removed. Otherwise, if he really had to write directly from the textbooks he learned in later generations, Zhu Wu would definitely not be able to handle so many textbooks. .

No, Zhang Yifan watched Zhu Biao pick up the topmost book, he stretched his head to look at it, and then introduced: "This is arithmetic, which is the basis of other knowledge, so far, this stack is all about arithmetic knowledge. There may be some, our ancestors have already summed it up, but here, I explain it in my own words."

In fact, he didn't have time to check. Those mathematical knowledge were already summarized by our ancients, so he simply lost this sentence to avoid anyone finding trouble later.

While listening, Zhu Biao flipped through the pages and said, "These are the numbers in your code book. The way you write them looks a bit awkward!"

Mathematical formulas, vertical operations, etc., if written according to the ancient way of writing from top to bottom, right to left, Zhang Yifan himself would not be able to read it. Therefore, he decided that he would decide his own territory and follow the way of later generations. Written in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

At this time, when he heard Zhu Biao speak, he smiled and replied: "I think it will be more convenient this way."

Zhu Biao listened, but didn't argue with him because he didn't understand.After flipping through it, I found many symbols I had never seen before, and I really didn’t understand them.However, just looking at it, he felt that the knowledge in it must be correct, at least it looked organized.

Of course, he could still tell that this handwriting was his eldest sister's handwriting.

So, he finally found an explanation and said to Zhang Yifan: "I say Yifan, you want to be my saint of the Ming Dynasty. Why don't you practice your calligraphy and still want Jingjing to write for you?"

"I'm too busy studying, I don't have time to practice calligraphy!" Zhang Yifan replied without blushing.

Zhu Jingjing listened and quickly answered for him: "Actually, Brother Fan's handwriting is already very good, but he is not good at writing with calligraphy. If it is for outsiders to see, I still have to write it for him."

At this point, she paused and then said: "He said this, the world will remember me in the future!"

Zhu Biao: "..."

Crown Princess: "..."

Afterwards, the Crown Princess said with some envy: "Yifan is so kind to you!"

Fortunately, she will be the queen in the future, and she will definitely have her mark in the history books.

Zhu Biao listened to their words and knew from the details that Zhang Yifan really had his sister in his heart. He was also very relieved and couldn't help but smile on his face.

There are nine books on arithmetic.Originally, there should have been twelve books, but Zhang Yifan streamlined it and there were only nine books.

After Zhu Biao flipped through it, he saw that the book below was about physics, so he said to Zhang Yifan: "What you are leading people to do now is the knowledge in it?"

Zhang Yifan listened, nodded, reached for a book, opened it, pointed to the catalog and said: "Brother, look here, among the knowledge of boiling water, these, such as pressure, work, etc., are all related knowledge. .”

Zhu Biao was very interested after hearing this, so he took a look.Then he sadly discovered that he still couldn't understand.

Isn't it just a thing that boils water?Why is it so difficult?
In fact, steam engines are more than just these, and include a lot more.

Regarding physics, Zhang Yifan did not bring out all the knowledge he had before college.For example, he didn't write about electricity.It’s not too late to come up with these after we have a foundation in physics.

Then there is the introduction to chemistry, which is much less, just the most basic things.Zhang Yifan plans to first lead a group of students out of the content found in other middle schools through experiments, and then use this basis to summarize and publish a book.

The Crown Princess was also flipping through the book. Suddenly, she was a little surprised and said: "What does this mean, biology? Hey, and this, modern medicine? What is this?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yifan smiled and explained: "Oh, this is an idea of ​​mine. It is not for my father. I want to give it to my fifth brother. It should be helpful to him!"

The fifth brother is the King of Zhou. Previously, he organized a group of doctors to compile medical classics, hoping to make a difference in medicine.

Before, he just mentioned a few points. Since he wrote the textbook silently, he didn't mind introducing the concepts and foundations of modern medicine.

At this time, the West was actually still very ignorant. It was at the end of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance had not yet begun.

It can even be said that even with the Renaissance, Western medicine still doesn’t know what it is!
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Charles II, as the king of England, only showed signs of apoplexy, and was tossed to death by his imperial physician abruptly.You know, this is the seventeenth century!
Those royal physicians bled their king first, a vat.If it didn't work out, he induced vomiting and used the poisonous antimony metal, which resulted in vomiting and diarrhea.

After that, the royal doctors saw that Charles II was still not recovered, so they gave him an enema...

Not good?They then shaved Charles II's head, washed his scalp with water, and poked his bald head with a red-hot poker, burning out pustules, and then used their unsterilized hands to pop them. .They also used pigeon droppings to smear the soles of his feet, saying that they were going to lure the evil spirits out of their king's body...

This is not the most outrageous thing. Later, when the royal doctors discovered that they had not cured the king, they found a prisoner, tortured him to death, sucked 40 drops of liquid from the prisoner's head, and made Charles II drink it!

He also found a goat and fed it small stones.After the stones entered the intestines of the sheep, the sheep was killed, the stones were taken out, ground into powder, and given to Charles II...

Not surprisingly, Charles II was tortured to death.

Chinese medicine is obviously much better than these medicines, but it is far from enough.As a person who traveled from the later life, of course he also wanted the medicine of the later life.

As the vassal king, King Zhou had enough energy to do many things well.For this reason, Zhang Yifan is very willing to push King Zhou!
　Ask for support!
