I am the king of the dead

Chapter 494

"Prince Xiang has really suffered a lot. In Guizhou, he was seriously ill." Zhu Qiyu closed the memorial.

Malaria, periodic attack, body chills, fever, sweating, splenomegaly.

In the Ming Dynasty, this thing can be called miasma, and miasma is widespread in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou, where there are a lot of mosquitoes.

Zhu Zhanqian was busy in Guizhou, and was bitten by mosquitoes several times, but he didn't take it seriously.

Suddenly one day, he felt chills all over his body, from his limbs to his back, and then his whole body became chills, which lasted from a quarter to an hour, even if he wrapped himself in several layers of quilts, it would not help.

After repeated three to five days, I started to have a persistent fever, flushed face, shortness of breath, vomited whatever I ate, and then started to feel empty.

Zuo Kong was just burnt out, a little unconscious, and his two hands were grabbing randomly, as if he was trying to get something.

Zhu Zhanqian survived the difficult fever period for seven days, and then began to sweat for a long time. This lasted for more than ten days, and finally he recovered.

This malaria tortured Zhu Zhanqian for nearly a month, and Zhu Zhanqian gradually recovered. As soon as he got better, he followed Yang Jun, Fang Ying and others to Zunyi Mansion, and persuaded Huang Long and Wei Bao to surrender.

The condition for successfully persuading the capitulation is that Zhu Zhanqian promised not to embarrass the people, not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and the five years of hard labor for the 7000 captives were negotiated conditions.

Originally, Huanglong and Wei Bao would not surrender. Since they rebelled, they did not intend to live. However, the rebels were besieged for a long time, and their hearts were in turmoil. In addition, the guarantor for persuading them was the emperor's uncle, and they finally reached a persuasion.

Zhu Zhanqian hoped that the [-] rebels would be treated the same as the Fujian and Nanya rebels, but he also mentioned two things.

The first thing is his experience in treating diseases. Artemisia annua, which is commonly used to treat miasma, has no effect at all. Artemisia annua has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, reducing steam and relieving heat, dispelling wind and relieving itching, but there is no way to treat miasma at all.

Zhu Zhanqian was tortured by this disease so painfully that he felt chills and fever, and he was dying, and the accompanying imperial physician could only relieve his pain.

What cured his disease was a local herb from Yunnan and Guizhou, called Artemisia annua. After it was processed, it had a miraculous effect, and the disease gradually recovered.

During this serious illness, Zhu Zhanqian lost more than 40 catties, even thinner than Luo Bingzhong. That fat emperor uncle can no longer be seen.

"That's right, King Xiang has suffered a great crime." Xing'an said rather sadly, the most honored person in Daming is naturally His Majesty, followed by His Royal Highness King Xiang.

This fat uncle who was pampered in Prince Xiang's mansion really risked his life in Yungui.

Zhu Qiyu handed King Xiang's memorial to Xing'an, and asked him to take it to Wenyuan Pavilion and said: "In "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", it is said that once you hold Artemisia annua, soak it in two liters of water, twist it to get the juice, and take it all. But This Artemisia annua can't cure malaria."

"Shen Kuo said in "Mengxi Bi Tan": There are two types of Artemisia annua. There are yellow ones and blue ones. Materia Medica calls Artemisia annua, and there may be differences."

"So it's Artemisia annua that treats malaria, not Artemisia annua."

How to treat miasma and malaria, as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, had social awareness, but Artemisia annua, there are Artemisia annua, and Artemisia annua, it happens that these two kinds of herbs are useful, and the effects are somewhat similar.

In fact, it should be that Artemisia annua has a miraculous effect in treating malaria, but Artemisia annua does not.

Artemisia annua, a specialty of Yunnan, is a kind of Artemisia annua. The locals use it to decoct and even make wine to fight malaria.

In social cognition, a treatment plan for malaria has been formed. How to gradually transform social cognition into science is too much for a hospital.

"His Royal Highness King Xiang's method is extremely clever." Xing'an said with a smile: "His supply method is indeed to beat the chieftains so that they have no power to fight back."

King Xiang was the first person in Ming Dynasty to clearly put forward the theory of the importance of sharp handles, and his focus was on sharp handles.

The supply-side reform is Zhu Zhanqian's practice in Guizhou. Controlling [-]% of the goods in the hands of the imperial court is almost invincible.

In the memorial, Zhu Zhanqian set up a granary surplus warehouse in Guizhou, which means that the granary is full, which is somewhat similar to the function of a regular flat granary.

Changpingcang was established by Li Kui during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. His reforms in the Wei State put forward the reform ideas of "doing the best" and "benevolent and flat", encouraging farmers to cultivate intensively, increasing production, abolishing the system of nobles and nobles, and rewarding those who have made meritorious contributions. people.

Li Kui's reform has achieved great success in Wei State. He is a practitioner of legalism, not a visionary. His reform made Wei State suppress Qin State for more than [-] years.

Then Qin's Shang Yang reform started vigorously.

In the third year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, knew that there was such a thing as Changping warehouse in the world. He ordered all prefectures and counties to set up reserve warehouses in the four townships. Qiu Cheng paid back.

But Zhu Zhanqian's surplus warehouse is not just about stabilizing grain prices and preventing low grain prices from hurting farmers and expensive grains from hurting farmers.

Zhu Zhanqian proposed that the imperial court must organize, coordinate, and manage important agricultural production materials and agricultural and sideline products. This proportion should account for at least [-]% or more of all agricultural products and agricultural and sideline products.

Otherwise, no matter what Daming does, he will be constrained.

Zhu Zhanqian gave an example in his memorial, which is tung oil, which is an important material for shipbuilding. If it weren’t for the development of Yunnan and Guizhou, the tung oil had a production area, and the Ming Dynasty wanted to build ships. How could it be built without tung oil?

Zhu Zhanqian has been in-depth practice, and began to rely on the rural grassroots organizations at the township, village, and A levels established by the Siyong Tuanying, and initially realized the organizational structure of the Yingcang covering counties, townships, and villages.

Zhu Zhanqian obtained the initiative to set prices for important products of Yunnan and Guizhou, such as Yunnan copper, coal, tung oil, Sanqi gold, etc., and pen, ink, paper and inkstone, salt and iron, cotton and linen, etc., which entered Yunnan and Guizhou. Generate income for the court and seek happiness for the people.

If it weren't for Zhu Zhanqian's status as King Xiang, and the fact that he distributed [-]% of the income to the people, Zhu Qiyu would have thought that Zhu Zhanqian was a "great good man".

"Show Yu Shaobao, Jin Shangshu, and the others the granny surplus method, discuss it, absorb the experience of Yunnan and Guizhou, and organize the granny surplus method in the interior."

"This time, Yunnan and Guizhou are ahead, while the mainland is behind." Zhu Qiyu was beyond satisfied with Zhu Zhanqian's work in Yunnan and Guizhou, and he was quite pleasantly surprised.

Xing'an said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the government ran a monopoly on salt, iron, wine, tea and alum."

"At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, during the time of Song Huizong, there was a phenomenon that a catty of coal was worth [-] Wen. During Song Gaozong's time, a catty of dung was sold for [-] Wen."

From Xing'an's point of view, Zhu Zhanqian's granny profit method is almost the same as the government-run franchise in the Northern Song Dynasty. A catty of coal in Ming Dynasty is only five to six cents. Money, isn't this a typical case of expropriation and harming the people?

Zhu Qiyu looked at the doubts and worries on Xing'an's face, and said with a smile: "Yes, Li Xian once had such doubts."

"I asked him at the time that my official metallurgical institute will look like the government-run franchise of the Song Dynasty in the future, so what is the significance of running this official metallurgy institute?"

"Now, His Royal Highness King Xiang, through practice, has come up with a key figure, [-]%."

There are some things that the imperial court must monopolize, such as firearms and steel feathers, special steel materials, military vehicles, military horses, etc., but it is better not to completely monopolize some things of people's livelihood, and it is not a war.

This involves a question of degree, and Zhu Zhanqian has obtained a [-]% ratio through practice. This is an approximation and a variable. to the effect.

This is also a digital narrative structure that appears after the bypass of degrees.

"I don't have any doubts." Xing'an looked at the memorial carefully, bowed his head and said.

"Then King Xiang's Memorial, can it be used as the front page of the mansion newspaper?" Xing'an asked hesitantly.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Of course."

Xing'an looked embarrassed and said: "But His Majesty just wrote an editorial, which is about being a slave and not being a slave, and being a slave..."

"Let's take that "Bi Tan under the Lamp" as the headline of the mansion newspaper, and put this memorial of King Xiang in the second edition." Zhu Qiyu made a decision.

Xiangwang Zhu Zhanqian's memorandum is an improvement of the system, while Zhu Qiyu's is a socially thinking editorial.

Although Zhu Zhanqian's memorials are important, they are mainly related to the construction of the imperial court system.

Dibao is a kind of guiding document, so Zhu Qiyu still decided to make "Bi Tan under the Lamp" a slave, and being a slave is more important for guiding.

But I hope that officials at all levels can treat the people as cattle and horses.

The examination has ended, some people are happy and some people are sad. Juren who didn't win the Jinshi can actually be an official, but the future is a bit bleak.

The palace examination was carried out in a calm and orderly manner. Jingtai's five-year palace examination had one more "Guanzi" than Jingtai's two-year palace examination.

The length of Guanzi is really long, even if you swallow it whole without asking for a deep understanding, it will take more than a month to read it.

But the beauty of Guanzi is that it is not arithmetic.

In a broad sense, management can even be included within the scope of Confucianism, which is not difficult to understand.

On the palace examination, the Jinshi were flying around, writing clearly and logically.

These quasi-jinshi students wrote quite reasonable, much better than the math test in the imperial examination.

The math papers for the imperial examination are at least at the level of the high school entrance examination, with various low scores.

Under the [-]-point system, the average score of the [-] Jinshi students was actually less than [-].

The failure of the math test made Wu Jing, the director of the hospital, always walk with his head down these days, very angry.

The paper for the palace examination was written by Wu Jing, and it was not difficult for His Majesty to correct it, but after the result came out, Wu Jing was ashamed.

Zhu Qiyu had expected it a long time ago, and he didn't blame Wu Jing for not teaching him well, the degree was bypassed, it was only two or three years, just take it slowly.

The day when the palace examination results are announced will soon arrive.

Qiu Jun, a Yi people from Qiongzhou, took the first place in the palace examination, won the first prize, and directly entered the Imperial Academy to become the Imperial Academy.

Li Sui, a guy who was almost expelled from his fame, actually got a good result in the top ten.

It is a practice of imperial examinations to catch sons-in-law under the list. On the day the list is released, besides the students, countless high-ranking officials have sent people to carefully check whether there is any soaring figure among the new subjects this year.

Among the [-] Jinshi, nearly half of them were married to Qiu Jun, and more than [-] people were screened out.

For the remaining unmarried people, if you filter out those who are as ugly as Qiu Jun, there will not be many left.

Therefore, there are only a dozen or so people who are really worth arresting under the list every year.

The clearing workshop where His Majesty's Tai'an Palace is located is just outside Donghuamen. The sergeants in the clearing workshop stood on the wall of the clarification workshop, staring at the Donghuamenwai Street below.

The street outside Donghuamen is one of the roads of His Majesty's clarification workshop. Naturally, this arresting son-in-law can't arrest people with a set of sacks like in the past.

Li Sui was one of the few high-quality candidates, the one who deserved to be arrested, and the one who got the best test.

The people in front of him basically have families, and they have already reported to the court before taking part in the examination.

Moreover, after Li Sui sounded the Dengwen Drum, his reputation was so great that he dared to go to His Majesty to cry out for injustice, and he even won the call.

And Li Sui was handsome and handsome, and suddenly became a hot favorite.

At this time, Li Sui fell into deep distress. Although he was not married, he already had someone. He had an appointment with the old man, but he went to Beijing not only for reference, but also to sue the imperial court. His future was uncertain, so he left. Time to say goodbye to old people.

Beimen Street does not sing Chen Shimei, and Qinjialou does not sing Qin Xianglian.

There is a common folklore that Chen Shimei, a heartless man, went to Beijing to rush for the exam, abandoned his wife and son, and was finally beheaded by Bao Gong's tiger head.

Naturally, Li Sui didn't want to be Chen Shimei, so he shirked all kinds of betrothal matters.

But one of them couldn't shirk it, and that was Xiang Wenyuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials.

Speaking of this Wenyuan, his ability is not very good, and he was disgusted by Wang Zhi, the official of the Ministry of officials. It was not until Wang Ao, who had worked in the local area for 25 years, returned to Beijing, that Wang Zhi handed over the affairs of the ministry to Wang Ao to take care of .

Now Wang Ao's reputation is not enough, Wang Zhi has already handed over half of the affairs to Wang Ao to take care of, everything is in order.

Xiang Wenyuan is a bit like Chen Ruyan, both of them are not capable enough.

Chen Ruyan has self-knowledge, he directly entrusted the virtuous to the Temple of Heaven, and now he obeys the orders of his servants to serve as a bachelor's student in Wenyuan Pavilion. His grace is tireless, His Majesty often summons Chen Ruyan.

Xiang Wenyuan was transferred from the position of the left servant of the official department to the position of the right servant of the official department. Although they were both servants, the position of the heavenly official of the official department was in Wang Ao's pocket.

Xiang Wenyuan's ability is not good, but he is good at dancing with long sleeves and is good at drilling camps. There is a young girl in the family who has just grown up, so he aimed at Li Sui.

Li Sui was born in No. [-] Jia, and he served as an official outside. After the nine-year term expires, he has a bright future, is handsome, and upright. This Wenyuan intends to betroth his daughter to Li Sui.

Li Sui was not happy.

It is one aspect of him to have the old man in his heart.

On the other hand, Xiang Wenyuan's daughter, the third daughter of the Xiang family, is really too heavy, fat and heavy, and the flesh on her belly trembles when she walks.

Li Sui himself was arrogant, so naturally he refused.

The first time Xiang Wenyuan sent a matchmaker to talk about this matter, Li Sui refused, and Xiang Wenyuan didn't take it seriously. Anyway, there are other Jinshi who can be arrested.

But her third daughter was crying, fussing and hanged herself, Xiang Wenyuan had no choice but to intercede with a matchmaker, but Li Sui refused again.

This time, Xiang Wenyuan lost his face a little bit.

"I also ask the matchmaker to go back and tell Mr. Xiang that the student is already married and will marry soon. It is really impossible to agree." Li Sui said politely to the matchmaker.

The matchmaker was a man and a woman. The matchmaker was about to speak, but the matchmaker stopped the matchmaker, and said with a smirk: "Mr. Li has thought it through? If he thinks it through, I will report back to Lord Xiang."

This was a threat, and Li Sui's face immediately became painful.

　Ask for a monthly pass!
