After reading the heart milk ball, the cannon fodder family went crazy

Zheng's house, study room.

Zheng Wenxiu stared blankly at the paper Zheng Wenchang handed her. She could understand the words on it, but she didn't understand what it meant.

"Brother, what is this?"

Zheng Wenchang coughed lightly and said: "This is a prescription I got from a traveling doctor. According to the method in it, I can make a medicine called penicillin. With this thing, even the plague can be cured!" "

Hearing this, Zheng Wenxiu's face was full of excitement, but after a moment, his eyes dimmed and he said, "Brother, why do you give me such an important thing?"

As he said this, Zheng Wenxiu's hand tightly grasped the prescription.

"Don't you want to be a doctor? If you can make penicillin according to this prescription, I will find someone to teach you medical skills." Zheng Wenchang explained.

"Brother, are you telling the truth?" Zheng Wenxiu said excitedly.

Her childhood dream was to learn medicine, but Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Zheng thought it would harm the Zheng family's reputation, so she was not allowed to study.

For this reason, Zheng Wenxiu made a fuss at home for a while. She went on a hunger strike and cried, but it didn't make Mrs. Zheng change her mind.

Only Zheng Wenchang felt sorry for her and secretly collected many medical books for her for her to study on her own.

Zheng Wenchang nodded and said: "The premise is that you make penicillin."

Zheng Wenxiu put the prescription on her chest and said with a look of assurance: "Brother, don't worry, I will make penicillin even if you don't eat or drink!"

"I'm waiting for your good news."

Zheng Wenchang said this, but in his heart he was sure that Zheng Wenxiu would succeed.

Ever since Zheng Wenxiu started studying medicine, Zheng Wenxiu had secretly treated the maids in the mansion when they were sick.

At first, he was worried that Zheng Wenxiu had half-heartedly treated the maids to death, and secretly asked a doctor outside the house to re-examine the maids.

But I didn't expect that Zheng Wenxiu did have some talent. The medicines she prescribed for those maids were admired even by doctors with decades of experience.

Zheng Wenxiu took the prescription and happily prepared to go back to study it.

After taking just two steps, Zheng Wenxiu came back, looked at Zheng Wenchang pitifully and said: "Brother, you see, I am going to make penicillin now and study medicine in the future. I don't have time to get married. Mother..."

"What, you don't like Yuan Hui now?" Zheng Wenchang said funny.

After learning about the Yuan family, Zheng Wenchang discussed with the two elders of the Zheng family to choose a new husband for Zheng Wenxiu.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Wenxiu disagreed and clamored to marry that Yuan Hui.

If Zheng Wenchang hadn't stopped him, he would have decided to get married to the Yuan family in the next few days.

"I didn't like him very much at first..." Zheng Wenxiu waved his hands hurriedly and said with aggrieved face: "Isn't this the tallest among the shortest?"

Although Yuan Hui is not very good, he is much better than Xiao Jingchen and other playboys.

Zheng Wenxiu felt that she had really tried her best to choose such a bad-looking person from this group of crooked melons and cracked jujubes.

If given a choice, she would rather not get married.

Zheng Wenchang was speechless, rubbing his eyebrows and saying, "I will tell mother that you don't have to worry about this matter."

"Thank you, brother!" Zheng Wenxiu smiled broadly, and then added: "Brother, don't forget to tell mother that I don't want to get married for the time being."

Zheng Wenchang shooed Zheng Wenxiu away like flies. He would do it without her having to say it.

Zheng Wenxiu is only sixteen years old, so it is indeed too early to get married.

He had heard Su Zhaozhao say that in the future she lived in, women could only get married when they were twenty years old.

You can get married at the age of twenty, but you are not required to get married. You can imagine how late people will get married in the future. But correspondingly, people in the future will also live a long life, because only with a long life span will the age of marriage be postponed.

Zheng Wenchang speculated that the reason for long life expectancy in the future is probably related to the antibiotic penicillin.

As long as Zheng Wenxiu can make penicillin, it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to get married now or in the future.

Zheng Wenxiu: I take what you said seriously!

Zheng Wenchang: Withdrawal...

After settling the penicillin matter, Zheng Wenchang put on his official uniform and went to the palace.

Xiaozhi moved with emotion and reason, and cited several examples of officials from the previous dynasty who had provided disaster relief and ended up enriching their own pockets. Emperor Ming finally nodded and arranged for someone to supervise the Minister of Works to provide disaster relief.

"Zheng Qing, since you think someone needs to supervise disaster relief, who do you think is suitable?" Emperor Ming said casually.

"I think Mr. Li from Yushitai can take on this great responsibility." Zheng Wenchang bowed.

Li Ji and Zhao Shen of the Yushitai are sworn enemies and are notoriously upright. Every time Zhao Shen is involved, it must be because of Li Ji's handiwork.

Moreover, even if Zhao Shen, Emperor Li Jiming's people, wanted to attack Li Ji, he would have to consider whether his nine tribes were enough to kill him.

Zheng Wenchang's proposal could be said to have considered all the risks, and Emperor Ming agreed without even thinking about it.

"Jiang Lianying, pass the decree and announce Li Ji's entry into the palace."

"Yes."

Jiang Lianying accepted the order and left.

Zheng Wenchang took out the written method of preventing and treating the epidemic, raised it with both hands respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, this is the method of preventing and treating the plague that I got from a wandering doctor when I was in Taoyuan Village. I would like to ask your Majesty to take a look at it."

The little eunuch stepped forward, took it from Zheng Wenchang, turned around and presented it to Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming picked it up and read it again and asked, "Have you ever found anyone to test these methods?"

"Never. Things were busy before, so I didn't have time to verify it. I only remembered this matter today when I learned that there was a flood in Yuanzhou, for fear of a plague." Zheng Wenchang lowered his head and explained.

Emperor Ming nodded and said: "I will ask the imperial doctor to verify it. If it works, I will credit you with it."

"I don't dare," Zheng Wenchang said quickly.

Emperor Ming put down the anti-epidemic measures and said: "This flood in Yuanzhou has left tens of thousands of people homeless. However, the national treasury is empty. What good plan does Zheng Qing have?"

"Your Majesty, the flood in Yuanzhou is not a trivial matter. In my humble opinion, I can mobilize all the ministers to donate money. I am not talented, so I am willing to donate a thousand taels of silver to do my best." Zheng Wenchang said.

Emperor Ming talked for a long time, and what he was waiting for was this sentence, so he said: "It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in three days, so Aiqing will be in charge of this matter. Please don't let me down, Aiqing."

"Yes, I will obey the imperial edict."

Zheng Wenchang knew in his heart that Emperor Ming wanted to stay out of the matter and let him be the bad guy.

But it involves tens of thousands of people in Yuanzhou. Even if Emperor Ming wanted him to be a spearman, he would accept it.

It's just that these courtiers complain about poverty every day, and each of them relies on borrowing money from the treasury to live. Now asking them to come up with money is probably more difficult than going to heaven.

But Zheng Wenchang is not afraid at all. Courtiers are shameless, but he has a cheat called Su Zhaozhao!

So, on the afternoon of the next day, Zheng Wenchang came to Su's house in a hurry with the fruits he had just picked from his farm.

Su Zhaozhao was dozing in the study when he suddenly smelled the sweet smell of grapes.

As soon as she raised her head, she met Zheng Wenchang's face with a sly smile.
