I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 328 Ming Xiu School of Medicine

As soon as Fang Xiu lifted the curtain of the car, a guard greeted him and said:

"Master, someone's car in front overturned and blocked the road."

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you wait."

"Yes, sir."

The guard saluted and left.

Fang Xiu put down the car curtain, looked at the little empress, and said, "I don't care if it can be developed or not. I have to wait until the medical school to hear what the imperial doctors have to say."

Most of the gentlemen in the medical school are imperial doctors who have relearned new medical techniques.

Compared with folk doctors, they are more motivated to study, and they are not easily troubled by some trivial matters from the outside world.

Wu Mingkong nodded, his delicate little face showed a thoughtful look, and he said to himself: "If the people in the medical school can really develop the magic medicine you mentioned, I will be able to wipe out Yan Yan without any effort." Kingdom, if there is such a day, wouldn’t it be possible for me to unify all the countries, and truly make it possible for the whole world to be the king’s land, and lead the land’s shores to be the king’s ministers.”

When Fang Xiu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "I once told Your Majesty that I will unify all countries sooner or later in my lifetime, but Your Majesty didn't take it to heart."

Wu Mingkong defended himself and said: "I took it to heart, I still remember that you said this on the way to Tangquan Palace, but I didn't expect that this day would come so soon."

Fang Xiu raised his brows and said, "Then how long does Your Majesty think it will take to achieve the great cause of unifying the world?"

Wu Mingkong said with a serious face: "In my opinion, it will probably wait until you and I are too old to walk, and it will be almost the time when we can rule the world."

Fang Xiu was silent for a few seconds, and said: "To tell you the truth, I also thought the same way before."

The two looked at each other for a while.

Fang Xiu said again: "However, even if we win the Yan Kingdom, I still may not have the strength to dominate the world."

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong glanced at Fang Xiu in surprise, and said, "That doesn't sound like what you said."

Fang Xiu asked: "What kind of words does Your Majesty think the minister will say?"

Wu Mingkong thought for a few seconds, and said: "If you put it in the past, no matter how weak Dagan is, you would not say that Dagan's strength is insufficient, but that the time is not yet ripe."

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, and after thinking about it carefully, that really was the case.

Unexpectedly, the little empress usually observed his words and deeds very carefully.

"I used to talk about unifying the nations, but now I talk about unifying the world. The two are not the same. After all, who knows what kind of vast world there is overseas, maybe somewhere that your Majesty and I can't see. In this place, someone has already researched the starship."

Fang Xiu said half-jokingly.

Although it was just a joke, it also represented some of his concerns in some respects.

There are too few records of overseas places in various countries.

Overseas merchants who trade with other countries are not strong. Judging from their weapons, equipment, and goods transported, their technological level is almost the same as that of other countries.

But, who knows, is there a place in the overseas land where technology has developed to a certain level, but the ocean has not yet been explored?

No advanced technology is needed, as long as there are automated weapons and a certain number of steel chariots, it is enough to crush the countries.

Fang Xiu didn't want that one day, the land where the countries were located would be regarded as a newly discovered continent by Columbus.

Of course, these are not his main considerations now.

After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, Dagan can't even unify the countries. It is a bit unfounded to think about whether Columbus will be eyeing him.

the other side.

The little empress probably understood the meaning of Fang Xiu's words.

It's just that what she doesn't understand is what a starship is.

After a few seconds of silence, she still couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and asked, "What is a starship?"

Fang Xiu explained with a serious face: "The so-called starship is a ship that can sail in the starry sky."

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback, and then his beautiful face showed a look of trance, and he muttered to himself: "A ship that can sail in the starry sky. Isn't that the car of a god?"

After a pause, he whispered again: "That should be beautiful."

For some reason, she suddenly thought of a year ago.

The scene where Fang Xiu took her to watch the rainbow after the rain in a hot air balloon was so beautiful that a year later, she still had a deep memory and never forgot it.

"Fang Xiu."

Wu Mingkong's clear and sweet voice sounded in the carriage.

Fang Xiu looked at her, and was slightly taken aback when she saw her looking longingly at him.

Just when he was wondering what the little empress was thinking, the voice of the little empress sounded again.

"When you build a starship one day in the future, I want to watch the stars in the sky with you. Only with me."

Wu Mingkong emphasized with a serious face.

Fang Xiu was startled when he heard this, but then he didn't know what to say.

"If I can build a starship, I guess it will also make us both immortal. At that time, let alone watching the stars in the sky with you, it will be fine to take a bath in the sun together."

Fang Xiu originally wanted to make a joke, but seeing the serious expression on the little empress's face, she didn't seem to be joking, so she swallowed the joke back, nodded slightly, and said, "I promise Your Majesty."

"Is it difficult to build a starship?"

Wu Mingkong noticed the change in Fang Xiu's expression and asked curiously.

She clearly remembered that when Fang Xiu said that he would let her go to heaven, he had a confident and sure face.

Now, Fang Xiu's expression is very complicated.

It seems that building a starship is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Fang Xiu was silent for a few seconds, and decided to answer truthfully: "The difficulty is probably no less than His Majesty allowing me to share the bed with Li Yaoyue."

When the little empress heard this, she nodded seriously and said, "That's indeed harder than climbing to the sky."

Fang Xiu: "."

No matter when, the two of them always felt that it passed very quickly when they were alone.

Between chatting, time passed by every minute.

But the carriage still did not move.

The noisy noise became more and more intense, and there were people arguing in front of and behind the carriage.

Fang Xiu lifted the curtain of the car, looked outside, and asked, "What's going on?"

The guard said: "There are too many people coming and going, blocking the official road, sir, should we change the road?"

aside.

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback, and said in surprise: "This official road is built so that four carriages can travel at the same time, and it will be blocked?"

The guard hurriedly replied: "If you go back to Madam, the peddlers who went to the academy to do business have just returned from their carts, and it is very easy to get crowded. According to my humble knowledge, it was the same in the past."

When Wu Mingkong heard the word "madam", he immediately felt happy, nodded, and said, "Got it."

Then, no more questions.

aside.

Fang Xiu looked thoughtful and asked, "Those vendors usually push carts to and from the Academy and Chang'an?"

The guard said: "According to what the traders said, it is true. They are not allowed to build thatched huts near the academy, and they are not allowed to stay overnight, and some of the scholars in the academy are from aristocratic families, and they spend a lot of money on weekdays. It can almost be sold if it is transported to the vicinity of the academy.

Therefore, in order to earn more money, they would get up early and stay late, before school started, and push the carts to sell them. After they were sold, they would return to Chang'an, and push the carts back when school was over in the evening. "

Fang Xiu felt a sense of déjà vu when he was in school, the vendors at the door were like this.

However, the occurrence of such a phenomenon also shows that today's academy is already quite large.

It seems that it is time to expand a new city on the basis of the academy.

How to do it, I have to discuss it with Zhao Zizheng when I go back.

Fang Xiu thought so, waved his hands, and said, "In that case, let's find a way to bypass this section of the road."

"Yes, sir!"

The guard saluted respectfully, turned and left.

Because of the "traffic jam" on the road.

Fang Xiu and the little empress arrived half an hour later than originally planned.

Compared with the other three major academies.

The building of the medical school is even more unpretentious.

It is a one-story house built with the simplest cement and bricks.

That is to say, the main halls are more splendidly built, but compared to Mingxiu Academy, they are still relatively simple.

There are apricot trees planted around the academy.

In winter, it looks unremarkable.

Fang Xiu and the little empress came to the gate of the medical school under the guard of the guards.

When I looked up, I saw that there were several gilt characters on the plaque above, flying like dragons and phoenixes.

It was Mingxiu Medical College.

In front of the door, an old man with gray hair stood there, followed by three young men, waiting quietly.

See Fang Xiu and Wu Mingkong.

The old man greeted him hastily, and said respectfully: "I greet your majesty when I am a minister, and my prime minister Fang!"

Behind them, the three young men saluted hurriedly, and said, "Students pay respects to His Majesty and Prime Minister Fang!"

The little empress waved her hands and said, "There is no need to be too polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The old man and the three young men saluted again.

"Half a year ago, I planned to come to your place to take a look, but later I heard that you were very busy from morning to night, studying the structure of the human body, so I didn't come here in order not to disturb you.

This time, I am here to visit you and see what else you need so that the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry can supply you, and the second is for another matter, which is the smallpox vaccine. "

Wu Mingkong said with a serious face.

The old man named Bian Shi and several young people were startled when they heard this.

"Smallpox vaccine?"

Bian Shi's old face showed a blank look, searching for this term in his mind.

I don't have any memory for half a day.

aside.

A young man who looked ordinary, but his eyes lit up, obviously he had heard of the so-called smallpox vaccine.

Wu Mingkong looked blank when he saw Bian, and asked, "You don't know about the plague yet?"

Bianshi showed embarrassment on his face, and cupped his hands and said: "I only know that there is a plague in the country of Yan, and Fang Xiang came to order to let the whole medical school work hard to develop the medicine that can prevent the spread of the plague. Before I have time to see the rest, I just listen It is said that His Majesty and Prime Minister Fang are going to visit the medical school in person, and immediately began to make preparations, as for the medicine, they have not had time to study it."

It's reasonable.

Wu Mingkong nodded, and said: "In this case, you should first read the order Fang Xiang gave you in its entirety."

"Yes!"

Bian Shi bowed respectfully, took out the letter from Zhongshu Sheng that he had received earlier from his bosom, and read it carefully from top to bottom.

After reading it, he handed it to the three young people beside him.

The three young men watched carefully again.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu asked, "These three are your disciples?"

Bian Shi replied respectfully: "If you go back to Prime Minister Fang, they are all students of the academy. They are both the students of the minister and the students of the prime minister, but they are not the disciples of the minister."

Fang Xiu is the nominal dean of Mingxiu Medical College.

And Bian Shi is the nominal vice-president of Mingxiu Medical College, but actually the dean.

Therefore, every student of Mingxiu Medical College is their student.

But from the perspective of master and apprentice, they are still far from being called disciples.

"I let them accompany you because the three of them are the best among this group of students."

Bian Shi then explained.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu frowned, looked at the three young men, and said, "Your dean praised you so much, it seems that you also have some real skills, I believe you have seen it all, what do you think?"

Among the three, two looked at each other with blank faces.

But the person with the most ordinary appearance was radiant, stood up, bowed his hands and said: "Master Hui, the students think that if you want to develop a vaccine against smallpox, the most important thing is to find the vaccinia recorded in medical books. If you find vaccinia, you can follow the method mentioned in the book to inactivate it, or to kill the virus. After many attempts, it should be successful."

Fang Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said, "It seems that you know something about this. What medical books did you read?"

The young man said: "Hui Fangxiang, what the students are looking at is the basic immunology published by Zhufengxuan."

Basic Immunology.

As a biological dog, Fang Xiu is no stranger to this book.

Although the name contains the word "basic", it is not easy to read.

Especially for a scholar who has never received modern biology education, it is even more obscure.

It is extremely difficult for this kid to be able to read this book and gain some knowledge from it.

Thinking of this.

Fang Xiu showed approval on his face and asked, "What's your name?"

The young man replied: "Student Li Si."

"Li Si, Truth intends to entrust you with the task of developing a smallpox vaccine. Are you confident?"

Fang Xiu looked at Li Si and asked.

When Li Si heard this, hesitation appeared on his face, and he didn't dare to agree for a while.

Although he is very confident in the knowledge he has mastered, he also knows that this matter is very involved.

If he didn't do well, the consequences would be beyond his ability to bear.

aside.

Seeing that he was silent, Bian said, "You are one of the most outstanding students in the medical school, you should have the courage to go forward in doing things."

Hearing this, Li Si gritted his teeth and said, "Students have confidence!"

Seeing this, Fang Xiu smiled, waved his hands and said, "It's okay if you don't have confidence, the new medicine has just started, let alone you, even your dean only has a half-knowledge."

"It's not easy for you to settle down and study basic immunology. Truth entrusts you with this task because it also values ​​your knowledge, not to put the burden on you.

Afterwards, the truth will allocate money and manpower for you, and try our best to do it. It’s good if you can do it well, but it’s okay if you can’t do it well, just keep working hard.”
