I

  Chapter 395 393 [Horse Enclosure]

  Zhao Han came out rarely, and took Liu Rushi around Yuhuatai.

  Liu Rushi entered the palace half a month ago. Like Fei Rumei, there was no special ceremony. The traditional six ceremonies are still the same, but the emperor does not need to appear in person to welcome the relatives, just go to meet the queen the next day.

  Walking to a place, I found many stone carvings, and at first glance it was the tomb of some official. Zhao Han said with a smile, "This tomb is well built."

  Liu Rushi moved to the front of the Shinto stele, carefully identified it and said: "This is the tomb of Li Jie, the general of hussars and the governor of the early Ming Dynasty. The inscription on the stele was written by Song Qianxi (Song Lian) at the order of Ming Taizu."

  Zhao Han approached and looked at it carefully, and commented: "Dignified and steady, it is indeed the top grade of epitaph calligraphy."

   Liu Rushi asked people to bring their outfits with them, took out professional equipment, and personally rubbed the inscriptions. She smiled and said: "Song Qianxi's regular script has two styles: elegant and graceful, dignified and calm, and the inscriptions should be written calmly."

   Zhao Han was watching from the side. Song Lian had a lot of inscriptions handed down from generation to generation. He didn't think it was necessary to rub the epitaph.

   But Zijin Mountain outside the inner city can build an observatory.

  Now there are two observatories in Nanjing, one in Yuhuatai and one in Jiming Mountain, both of which are too close to the downtown area. Just taking advantage of the fact that it has been abandoned and re-selected for construction, Zijin Mountain is a good place for stargazing.

  Liu Rushi completed the inscription, and continued to hang out with Zhao Han.

  The nearby hills are full of messy monuments, and there are some pavilions for resting and enjoying the scenery.

  Zhao Han even saw a stele of eunuchs, which was jointly erected by the eunuchs of Nanjing Sili.

  It may be a cultural relic a few hundred years later, but now it is useless, just engraved with the names of dozens of eunuchs.

  Liu Rushi was in a happy mood. He walked around and rubbed the inscriptions of famous people. After finishing the work, he said: "Guo Zhang's calligraphy has been very popular in Nanjing in recent years. One of the writing methods is also called 'Fei Ti'. It is said that it was inspired by the husband. Is this true?"

   "Hahaha," Zhao Han laughed, "It does have something to do with me."

  When Zhao Han just crossed over, he used Qi Gong to fool Fei Yinghuan.

  Over the past ten years, Fei Yinghuan has developed his own set of calligraphy on the basis of Qigong style, which strictly follows the golden ratio. Although some people like it, there are more people who spray it. "Fei Ti" is also called "waste body". Beginners who practice Fei Ti can make themselves useless.

  In the past two years, Fei Ti has been able to be sought after, mostly because of his status as the head of the country.

  Swimming until mid-afternoon, the two went down the mountain together. Zhao Han went back to work, while Liu Rushi went to the Imperial Academy to continue compiling dictionaries.

   This set of dictionaries, as well as pinyin, is estimated to be printed in the spring of next year.

  Back to the office, there were already a lot of memorials, and there were several manuscripts beside them.

   "What is this?" Zhao Han asked, pointing to the manuscript.

  Hu Cao Shizhong replied: "Report to Your Majesty, they are all medical books on epidemic diseases."

  Plague broke out in Shandong in the first half of the year. Zhao Han immediately mobilized famous doctors from all over the country to go to the border areas of the territory to treat the people in the territory under his jurisdiction, as well as those who secretly crossed the border.

   After controlling their own territory, some doctors even took the initiative to go to the affected areas in Shandong.

  Zhao Han opened the manuscript of the first medical book, called "On the Plague", the author Wu Youxing, the words are good.

  Zhao Han has no understanding of Chinese medicine, and he doesn't know that this gentleman is the originator of the plague school.

  Historically, there was a great famine in the south of the Yangtze River, and corpses were everywhere, which finally caused a plague in the south of the Yangtze River.

  The plague broke out, and there were more than a hundred houses in one lane, and none of them survived;

  Wu Youke treated the plague in the south of the Yangtze River, and summed up a set of "Theory of Warming and Epidemics". He believes that the plague is caused by plague, which can be transmitted through the mouth and nose, and that the disease occurs in the original place of the membrane that is not on the outside, and the traditional medicine for treating the inside and outside is difficult to work.

  In addition, Wu Youke invented a mask by himself. After boiling silk cloth in boiling water, he distributed it to doctors and ordinary people. They had to wear it when they went out.

  Wu Youke's "Pang Qi Theory" was initially opposed by many famous doctors, but the curative effect was very significant. Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu, who led the troops stationed there, have already ordered the promotion and allocated a large number of military doctors to Wu Youke as students.

  After reading several related memorials, Zhao Han immediately issued an order to appoint Wu Youke as the "Chief Medical Officer of Epidemic Prevention in Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, and Shandong Provinces".

  During the epidemic, local governments, military forces, and doctors must fully cooperate with Wu Youke's work.

  At the same time, ordered to switch to an improved version of the mask.

  The so-called improved mask is the cotton mask of later generations. When Zhao Han received the news of the epidemic, he asked people to make it, but most people didn't take it seriously, even the doctors didn't use it when they got it.

  Wu Youke didn't receive a cotton mask, so he had to invent a silk mask by himself.

  Besides Wu Youke, several famous doctors in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties are now under Zhao Han's rule, but they specialize in different fields.

  Fu Shan, who followed Wang Tiaoding to the south, is a master of gynecology.

  Li Zhongzi focuses on internal medicine, and is more proficient in smallpox. He is currently treating smallpox in northern Jiangsu.

  Based on the clinical experience of the last six months, Li Zhongzi wrote a pamphlet "Miscellaneous Essays on Pox", and sent it to Zhao Han for review, requesting Zhao Han to fully promote "human pox vaccination".

  Zhao Han took a pen and commented: "Is it possible to inoculate cowpox?"

  Historically, China vigorously promoted the "human pox law" when Kangxi was the emperor. Then, countries all over the world followed suit and spread to West Asia, Europe and America.

  The vaccinia method is a British doctor who improved it by referring to the Chinese varicella method, so the success rate was greatly improved.

  Yu Chang, who was called a holy doctor by Qian Qianyi, is still an ordinary doctor.

  This gentleman was originally surnamed Zhu, and he was a descendant of the old Zhu family's clan. In the early years of Chongzhen, he went to Beijing Guozijian to study. He often went to the Shushu to discuss matters, but he spoke lightly and was depressed, so he simply returned to his hometown in Jiangxi.

  When Zhao Han captured Nanchang, Yu Chang was afraid of being implicated, so he ran to become a monk.

   As a result, Zhao Han did not embarrass the ordinary clan, and distributed land to the ordinary clan. It happened that Yu Chang, who changed his name and surname to become a monk, was found out to be a monk illegally, and he was sent to Zaogeshan Ziyang Medical College to study medicine.

   A generation of famous doctors still embarked on the old road of learning medicine and treating diseases.

   Zhang Lu, who is as famous as Yu Chang, has chosen an official career and is now serving as the county magistrate of Anxi, Fujian.

  After quickly finishing the memorial from the Ministry of Households, Zhao Han picked up the memorial from the Ministry of War again. The first memorial was extremely impactful: Huang Taiji, the puppet Qing emperor, is dead!

  In fact, Huang Taiji had been dead for two months, and Zhao Han finally received the news at this time.

  …

Beijing.

  Hong Chengchou sat in the sedan chair, turning a deaf ear to the loud shouts outside.

  He dared not listen, nor could he bear to look.

  After Huang Taiji entered the customs, he accepted Hong Chengchou's suggestion: treat the ministers of the former Ming Dynasty kindly, treat the gentry and the people kindly, lighten the corvee and pay less, and exempt from hard labor.

  The land on the outskirts of Beijing was only confiscated from the property of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

  For a time, the gentry returned to their hearts and the common people obeyed.

  Hong Chengchou was very proud of this, thinking that he saved the people, although his personal morality was at a disadvantage, but he also held great righteousness. As for Chongzhen, it was Li Zicheng who forced him to death, and he was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after the fall of Ming Dynasty.

   Not counting as a second minister!

  But the current situation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty is no longer under Hong Chengchou's control.

  Huang Taiji died of illness, and the Manchu nobles began to fight among themselves.

  Haoge and Dorgon are in an uncertain battle for the throne, and Dorgon, who is relatively weak, proposes to support the three-year-old Fulin as emperor.

  This suggestion received positive responses from Dayuer and Jierhalang, and also won the support of many Mongolian nobles. The situation turned around in an instant, and Hauge was unable to support himself, so he could only give up his succession to the throne.

  In order to consolidate his regency status, Dorgon suggested again:

  First, the Han people in the inner city of Beijing were expelled. The inner city was renamed Mancheng, and only the children of the Eight Banners were allowed to live.

  Second, staking the land. The land in Gyeonggi can be occupied by nobles of the Eight Banners at will.

  These two policies completely overthrew Huang Taiji's previous policies. Huang Taiji, whose bones are not yet cold, probably crawled out of the coffin in anger.

  However, the nobles of the Qing Dynasty warmly supported this, and Dorgon completely stabilized his regency power!

  Even a Han minister like Hong Chengchou had to pack up his belongings and get out of the inner city of Beijing immediately.

   "Forgive me, my lord, forgive me... Ah!"

   "Father, mother, help!"

   "..."

   There were shouts and screams everywhere, and Hong Chengchou hurriedly closed his eyes when he heard it.

   Driving the Han people out of the inner city is not just as simple as driving them away. Accompanied by beatings, killings, prostitution and looting, the beautiful daughter of someone's family was snatched away by the Manchu nobles in broad daylight. Someone tried to take away the money in the cellar, but not only was the money not taken away, but the house was seized and often killed.

  In the eyes of the Manchu nobles, there is not enough food in Beijing anyway, and these urban residents can’t farm land, so dying more can just save food.

   "Da da da da!"

   There was a sound of horseshoes, and there were officials and officials shouting along the street: "The corpses are piled up and burned, beware of the epidemic! The corpses are piled up and burned, beware of the epidemic..."

  The plague has already spread to Beijing, driving away the Han people in the inner city is also to reduce the population and slow down the spread of the plague.

   "Master, we're here." The servant shouted.

  Hong Chengchou got off the sedan chair and walked into the new mansion, which was rewarded by Dorgon.

  Walking in the yard, Hong Chengchou found many bloodstains.

  These bloodstains were only washed with water casually, and they were not wiped off at all. They were covered in dust and had solidified into black.

  Manchus occupied the inner city, while Han ministers lived in the outer city.

  As for the original owners of those houses in the outer city, those who have big houses almost have no good end. It's nothing more than expulsion and killing, vacating the house and giving it to officials like Hong Chengchou to live in.

   Not long after, the house slave ran over again and said, "My lord, the well water at home is probably undrinkable. Someone threw it into the well, and it already stinks."

   "Buy water to drink." Hong Chengchou sighed.

  At the gate of the outer city, there are still bannermen selecting young and strong.

   Those who are strong and good-looking are selected to be house slaves and maidservants.

   These are basically the minor nobles and military officers of the Eight Banners. They have just been allocated houses in the inner city, and they still lack servants. The homeless people who were driven out of the inner city, if they want to live, they can choose whatever they want. There is no need to pay wages, just a meal.

  The staking of land near the outskirts of Beijing has already begun. A large number of gentry have been expelled from their homes, and the common people stayed to serve as serfs for the Manchu nobles.

  A gentry family, dragging their families, wanted to escape to the south for refuge.

  A team of Manchu cavalry rushed over. These guys were about to staking their land. Seeing that the gentry had a lot of money when they moved, the officer immediately became jealous, and the officer shouted: "These are spies from the south, men, old and young, all killed!"

  The hungry wolf-like Manchu cavalry charged forward excitedly.

   They killed old men, men, and children, and plundered young women, and plundered the goods of the gentry.
