"Brother, you are still too young. There have been many such things in history. This is called sending auspiciousness, do you understand?"
Zhang Yi patted Zhang Yuchu on the shoulder and comforted Zhang Yuchu:
"You have read so many Confucian books that you have forgotten that you are a Taoist priest. Do you understand that we are Taoist priests? We are professionals in sending auspicious blessings...
Whether this thing is true or not is not important, the key is whether it can be delivered to the emperor's heart! Do you think the emperor doesn’t know that we sometimes fool the devil? Everyone just turns a blind eye..."
Zhang Yuchu's fragile world view was shattered by Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi's bad mouth still output steadily.
This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. Zhang Yuchu's little mind cannot get around this threshold.
"What is good for the emperor is auspicious, and what is harmful to him is bullying the emperor. Forget it, you are a little kid who doesn't understand. Anyway, remember, we are doing a big thing..."
Zhang Yi was very serious and stared into Zhang Yuchu’s eyes:
"Believe me, this matter is extremely important to our Chinese people!
Once this is done, tens of millions of people in China will be able to live from now on.
It was my idea to go to the emperor, and I had no choice but to do so!"
His serious look infected Zhang Yuchu, who finally calmed down.
But he didn't agree with Zhang Yi's last resort:
"With such a magic formula, even if there is no emperor, you can still benefit the world, brother. Why do you need to talk to me?"
Zhang Yi heard this and smiled...
"Brother, have you read my book?"
"Um!"
"Then let me ask you, where did vaccination originate?"
"Taoist Ge Hong!"
"Then you've seen "The Elbow" before?"
Zhang Yuchu nodded. Ge Hongnai is a Taoist master. Although he is the founder of the Lingbao Sect, his "Baopuzi" is also a rare treasure of the Taoist sect. Although there is a sectarian dispute between Longhu Mountain and Lingbao Sect, it is not like they don’t all collect the other’s classics.
Zhang Yuchu is a child who likes to read, and is far better at reading than Zhang Yi.
He has not only watched "Baopuzi", but also "Elbow Preparation".
"Then let me ask eldest brother, how does today's father compare to that Ge Shenxian?"
Zhang Yuchu glanced at Zhang Changsong and did not dare to answer, but Zhang Changsong smiled and said:
"I'm not as good as a poor person!"
"Since our Longhu Mountain is not as good as Ge Hong, and Ge Hong can't spread things, why do you think we, the Longhu Mountain, can do it?"
Zhang Yi asked again without waiting for Zhang Yuchu to digest:
"How does Wang Dan, Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, compare to me, Longhu Mountain?"
Zhang Yu looked embarrassed at first, but finally lowered his head and replied: "Longhu Mountain can't compare!"
"Wang Dan sought the method of vaccination in Mount Emei and saved his descendants. Who in the world still knows about this method today? I am not as good as my elder brother, who loves reading. Has he ever heard that the method of vaccination in Song Dynasty is still popular today?"
"No!"
Zhang Yuchu vaguely understood what Zhang Yi meant, and his face darkened.
"In terms of influence, we are not as good as Ge Shenxian, and in terms of power, we are not as good as Wang Dan. Brother, do you think that if Longhu Mountain does not rely on the emperor's influence, then Longhu Mountain is worthy of promoting this method?
It’s not that I look down on Longhu Mountain, but it’s the fact that if you want to truly spread this method, only the king pays attention to it and is willing to implement it!
I can’t guess what the Holy One thinks today, but after the Ming Dynasty experienced many years of war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world has long been empty of houses. After great disasters, there will be great epidemics. In troubled times, population movements will bring about the spread of plagues and will break the peace of the people. Herd immunity brought about by casual movement,
The plague may not break out in a big way, but it will definitely bloom all over the land of the Ming Dynasty. If His Majesty wants to recuperate and increase the population, he will definitely be more concerned about the plague than other emperors. This is what my younger brother thinks he can pay attention to and implement The reason for vaccination!
To be honest, in another dynasty, such as the BC Yuan Dynasty, even if my father was more powerful than he is now, I don’t think the Mongolian emperor would take this matter seriously..."
Zhang Yi's words were the result of careful consideration.
He never believed that the ancients discovered a recipe and a technique that would spread quickly.
In an era when population mobility was stagnant and the power of knowledge dissemination was in the hands of Confucian scholars, wanting to popularize something was inherently metaphysical.
Ge Hong studied the rudimentary method of vaccination, but no one continued to study it.
A stranger from Mount Emei passed on the method of vaccination to Wang Dan, but Wang Dan did not popularize it.
Even the evolution of vaccines from raw vaccines to mature vaccines took hundreds of years. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, mature vaccines were developed, but did this method spread?
The first time China really implemented vaccination on a relatively large scale was during the Qing Dynasty.
It was also the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who was promoting...
As for the cowpox vaccine returning to China, it took hundreds of years...
Without the power of a king, it is simply impossible to spread the method of vaccination!
Zhang Yi didn't know whether Zhu Yuanzhang would pay attention to this method, but Zhu Yuanzhang may be the emperor most likely to spread this method in the next few decades.
If it were any other emperor, the vaccination method might have become a secret recipe in the palace...
"It's my villain heart!"
Zhang Yuchu was persuaded by Zhang Yi and apologized to Zhang Yi neatly.
"Leverage the king's power to cultivate meritorious deeds for hundreds of generations, Zhang Yi. No wonder dad has been praising you recently, and I am not as good as you!"
Zhang Yu was arrogant at first, but in fact, he was beaten by Lao Zhang recently, and he was a little dissatisfied with his younger brother.
It was just Zhang Yi's words that made him admire his younger brother. Zhang Yi punched him:
"Brother, you're going to hurt my younger brother..."
Zhang Yuchu was curious:
"Brother, dad said you can dream of gods, is it true?"
Zhang Yi glanced at Lao Zhang. Now that he had told the lie, he had to keep it true.
He nodded in recognition.
Zhang Yuchu’s eyes are full of little stars:
"Tell me, what kind of future do you see? I want to hear..."
Zhang Yi suppressed a smile and said:
"For example, I saw that you would become bad in the future, so I asked dad to discipline you in advance!"
Zhang Yuchu, who was originally excited, immediately gritted his teeth, and new and old hatreds surged into his heart.
Is this more unjust than Prince Yue being held on an unfounded charge?
"Zhang Yi, I will fight you tooth and nail..."
The second child was quarreling again, and Lao Zhang was watching from the side. With his previous majesty as a feudal parent, he had already stopped the second child.
But at this time, Lao Zhang actually felt that this was not bad. His two sons were both excellent, and the relationship between the two brothers was harmonious. With such a son, what more could a husband ask for?
"Master!"
Zhang Changsheng originally wanted to discuss some details with Zhang Yiduo, but Deng Zhongxiu's voice interrupted the three of them.
"What's the matter? Didn't my teacher say that I have something to talk to you two junior brothers?"
"Master, it's not that my disciple wants to disturb Master, it's just that I met Mr. Huang's family on the way back, and he came to invite Mr. Huang's family to his house!"
Mr. Huang?
Zhang Changsheng didn't think of his "best friend" for a while, but then he broke out in a cold sweat.
Is it the emperor? He asked someone to invite him?
When I thought about entering the capital, I didn't even get hot on my butt, and the emperor's invitation came.
When Zhang Chenggong thought of that person, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead involuntarily!
