"Chief of the mountain."
The emperor did not dare to wait where he was and let the other party come over. He quickly walked dozens of steps and came to Xuegong Mountain Chief Lian Xuanxiao and Tantai Leshan.
"His Majesty."
In front of other courtiers, Lian Xuanxiao casually raised his hand and made a cross-hand salute, then took a wide piece of paper with pictures from Tantai Leshan and handed it to the emperor.
Emperor Yu took the picture. It was an exquisite map of Chang'an, on which the buildings, fields, bridges, canals, rivers, carriages, horses and pedestrians of Chang'an were carefully drawn, every detail was vivid and lifelike.
The only thing that makes people feel uncomfortable is the large number of dense black dots scattered in it, which is annoying to see.
Emperor Yu frowned and said, "This is..."
"The Chang'an malaria outbreak was supposed to happen this fall."
Lian Xuanxiao glanced at the queen, ministers and Cheng Juxiu beside him, and said in a deep voice: "The results given by [Chang'an Microview]."
Emperor Yu's eyelids twitched, and the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and the Minister of Taichang Temple on the side shook their bodies and looked at the drawing subconsciously.
The mutated object of [Chang'an Scenery] codenamed [Quiet-1-17] can be said to be the most important weapon of the Yu State.
Its function is to provide the predicted preview results based on the conditions in the form of a map of Chang'an after inputting certain conditions. It can predict what Chang'an City will look like three months from now.
It is equivalent to an oracle machine limited to Chang'an City.
For example, set the condition as [the water transportation system failed to deliver grain to Chang'an City],
Then the prediction results given will show which places in Chang'an City are short of food, how much the price of food will rise, and how many people will starve to death because they cannot afford food.
Or, when the unusually hot summer comes, set the conditions to [use talismans to pray for rain],
Then it can not only predict whether the rain request will be successful,
It can also predict whether Chang'an City can return to normal after successful rainfall.
There are two [Chang'an Micro Scenery], one is located in the Dongjun Building of the Academy, and the other is located deep in the palace - due to the high cost of using [Chang'an Micro Scenery], the cumbersome and complicated use process, the prediction results require special interpretation, and after use There will be a cooling-off period,
Therefore, even if the Six Ministries want to use the [Chang'an Microscene] alienated objects in the palace to predict the future results of important policies, they still need to report to the three senior officials and submit the plan to Emperor Yu.
For hundreds of years, [Chang'an Microview] has never made a mistake, and even if it does, it is due to human factors and misinterpretation.
And when this picture was handed over by the headmaster of the academy, there was no doubt about its accuracy and credibility.
There will definitely be a malaria outbreak in Chang'an City this autumn.
Or...which year was malaria-free?
Emperor Yu frowned and said seriously: "Does the mountain chief want me to prepare the Imperial Medical Office, Shang Yao Bureau, and Medicine Tibetan Bureau in advance to deal with malaria?"
Among the three major medical institutions in Yu State, Shang Yao Bureau and Yaozang Bureau serve the royal family.
The Imperial Medical Office has overall responsibility for the nation's medical affairs. It not only educates and trains doctors, compiles medical classics, but also provides medical treatment for officials, soldiers, workers, palace residents, and foreign chiefs such as Qu Shuai.
The problem is that there are only about 1,500 people in the Imperial Medical Office.
Among them are a large number of administrative personnel who manage property documents and cashiers such as government historians and Zhang Gu, as well as pharmacists and pharmacists who are not directly involved in medical treatment.
The few doctors who could really come in handy were already extremely busy treating officials, troops, palace residents, etc. every day, and they had neither the time nor the ability to treat ordinary people in Chang'an City.
Even if you know that malaria is coming, all you can do... to a large extent is prepare medicinal materials in advance.
This was when the State of Yu had an academy and paid more attention to medical care than before - at the beginning of Yu, the entire Imperial Medical Office had only 341 permanent posts.
"No."
Lian Xuanxiao shook his head and took out the second drawing.
This map is roughly the same as the first one, both are topographic and relief maps of Chang'an.
The difference is that on this map, many open water channels have been covered with stone slabs, a large number of woodland grasses have been bulldozed, and pond potholes have been filled in.
The most important thing is that the black spots on this drawing are 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, we only covered the open water channels in the city, eradicated the grass and stagnant ponds that easily breed mosquitoes, and used mugwort and other substances to fumigate the mosquitoes.
This will eliminate the malaria outbreak this fall.
Saved thousands of people.
I sincerely request your Majesty to first try out the mosquito control strategy in Piannanfang City, Chang'an, to see how effective it is. "
"Malaria is caused by mosquitoes..."
Queen Xue was stunned and lost her voice. The Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister of Taichang Temple on the side were even more shocked.
Malaria is one of the most terrifying and harmful large-scale diseases in the world. Both the New Bodhisattva Sutra and the Sutra of Encouraging Good Deeds rank "death from malaria" at the top of the list.
Any Yu person with common sense knows what being able to prevent malaria means - every household does not have to worry about sudden misfortune, and the troops of Yu State can continue to advance south and west.
Malaria and miasma are roughly the same disease. Malaria is called malaria in the north and miasma is called miasma in the south.
The Zhou State to the south of the Yu State, the Six Kingdoms of Nanzhao to the southeast, the Jing State to the west, and the Shiwan Barren Mountains to the southwest were not conquered by the Yu State. First, they also had practitioners.
The second reason is that miasma - any miasma malaria can kill tens of thousands of soldiers of the Yu State, causing the Yu State to pay an extremely painful price without gaining any territorial gains.
"The chief of the mountain,"
Emperor Yu's mind was as fast as lightning, and he immediately understood the value of this discovery - the national policy of the entire Yu Kingdom in the next hundred years will be changed accordingly. The map of Yu Kingdom that has not been able to be expanded may be used in his generation or the next generation. The king of the country expanded again.
Emperor Yu immediately took a deep breath and said seriously: "If I can't seal it, I will definitely serve you as the chief of the mountain..."
"His Majesty,"
Lian Xuanxiao interrupted Emperor Yu's words with a strange smile, "This is not the result of the old man."
"That..."
Emperor Yu turned to look at Tantai Leshan next to Lian Xuanxiao, who smiled bitterly and saluted: "Your Majesty, this is not my discovery.
But I heard it mentioned by a scholar from Zhenzhou named Li Ang some time ago. "
"A scholar from Zhenzhou?"
Emperor Yu and Queen Xue raised their voices in unison,
The expressions on the faces of the Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister of Taichang Temple were extremely wonderful.
Cheng Juxiu... opened his mouth, not knowing what expression to make.
Cheng Juxiu actually arrived in Chang'an just this morning. When he heard the news that Li Ang was judged to be unable to practice by Xi Yangyu, he immediately knew that this was because of the old incident between Xi Yangyu and Pu Liuxuan, and he hated Li Ang deliberately.
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 prompt decision and informed the Minister of Hubu and Taichang Temple about the midwifery forceps through his classmates at Hubu and Taichang Temple, and invited them to go to the imperial city to present the auspiciousness of the midwifery forceps to His Majesty.
In the hope that things will turn around.
But... it looks like Li Ang cured Duke Yan, discovered the cause of malaria, and asked the mountain chief and Tantai Leshan Siye to come to the imperial city in person to congratulate His Majesty...
His past two or three months have been really wonderful...
Well, even if you fail the final exam, you will definitely be specially recruited by the mountain chief.
Cheng Juxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but heard the sound of slight footsteps approaching from far away.
A eunuch's chamberlain walked over quickly and said, "Your Majesty, some candidates have already finished the final exam of the academy."
"So fast? Didn't you say that this year's final exam is very difficult? Since you are the number one scholar, please bring him into the palace and let me see you..."
After receiving two great news in one day, Emperor Yu was in a great mood. He suddenly stopped talking and said with a strange expression: "Wait a minute, what's the last name of that candidate?"
The eunuch didn't know what he meant, so he answered honestly: "There are two candidates who have finished answering, one is He and the other is Li."
Emperor Yu turned his head and looked at Queen Xue and the mountain chief, dumbfounded.
"His Majesty,"
The mountain chief shook his head and smiled: "I'm not in a hurry to let him enter the palace now.
The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are so fast that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
Young man, let him be happy again. "
